MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer A 42-year-old Loudoun County motorcyclist was killed Sunday afternoon in Rappahannock County in an accident on the twisting stretch of Route 211 that passes through Thornton Gap near the entrance to the Shenandoah National Park. It was the third fatal motorcycle accident in that popular riding area since March. It also wras the second motorcy cle accident there over the Memorial Day weekend and occurred less than a week after state and local police officials announced beefed-up law enforcement efforts on this stretch they call the motorcyclists’ “race track." Forty-five minutes before the fatal accident, a motorcyclist, driving a 2003 Suzuki, waved to a Virginia State Police trooper in passing on Route 211 in Warrenton. He was wearing “full gear, See ACCIDENT, Page A10 Royal Academy of Art honors local artist % By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer A shy Washington painter with a passel of loyal and admiring friends, some of whose walls he has brushed and rolled, departed last weekend for London, where his painting is being honored among a coterie of great artists that includes Turner, Constable, Gainsborough, and Hockney. This may seem confusing. It isn’t. The painter, Rex Slack, is an artist; rather, the artist is a painter who explains the difference to a recent visitor, stating simply, “People are not always what they do. You have your day job and you have your passion.” One of Slack’s paintings, titled “Backroads,” was accepted by the Royal Academy of Art’s Summer Exhibition and will be shown at the Academy’s famous “Varnishing Day” reception this week. As many as 9,000 paintings and sculptures are submitted annually to the Academy from around the world, for a final selection of only 450. In the last two years, Rappahannock County has had two artists honored by the Academy, which held its first summer exhibition in 1769. With typical modesty, Slack calls “Backroads,” “a strange little picture that I couldn’t sell.” His friend, an accomplished painter also from 66 People are not always what they do. You have your day job and you have your passion. Rex Slack BACKROADS’: Washington artist Rex Slack is being honored by the British Royal Academy of Art's Summer Exhibition for his pastel drawing of a lonely country road. Photo courtesy Rex Slack Washington, Robin Purnell, whom the Royal Academy honored two years ago, discovered Slack’s winning canvas in the back of his closet one afternoon while she was visiting his house. She had seen it earlier, admired it, and wondered where it had gone. She dusted it off and scrubbed it with household cleanser. “It was covered with cat hair,” she recalls. She encouraged — more like demanded — Slack to subihit it last January to the Academy. The canvas reached London, where a friend of Purnell’s hand-delivered it to the Burlington House in Piccadilly. “I think he’s the best artist in Rappahannock See SLACK, Page A8 Speeding, street r Students craft new street signs for Town of Washington By Clarissa Pintado Special to the Rappahannock News Students at Rappahannock County High School have been working industriously for two months to recreate the street signs of the Town of Washington. One of the new beautifully crafted signs “Avon Lane” was put in the ground Thursday in front of the historic Avon Hall estate on the left side of the first entrance to the town.

VDOT to conduct second study on speeding in town By Malcolm C: MacPherson Rappahanrxxk News Staff Writer When Sarah and Brandon Fowler sit on their front porch with Will, their new baby of two months, it is hard not to sympathize with their parental fears. What they see down the road literally would worry' any parent—Will in a few short years running out to the street in front of their house after a ball, and a car or motorcycle cresting the hill past their house, speeding, and with no warning to stop in time. And a nightmare ensues. It is not why the Fowlers moved to their house on Main Street in Little Washington. Neither is that kind of trepidation why anybody lives in Rappahannock County. It simply is not in the nature of the place. With that thought in mind the Mayor of Washington, Eugene Leggett, sent an official letter dated May 20 to see whether the local resident engineer of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)’s residency in Warrenton could address what the Fowlers and their neighbors perceive as a traffic hazard in the future, but presently, one that might carry the threat of harm to elderly pedestrians, visitors and residents alike.

The men drove down in Bob’s 1973 Pontiac convertible with the top down, absorbing a lot of wind and sun during the five hour trip. There was a lot of traffic. The games are like the Olympics where the winners of events receive gold, silver and bronze medals. The “Seniors”, captained by Dan Lewis, participated in the 50 - 54 age group which had five teams entered from around the state. The ages are in five year increments from 50 to 85. The “Seniors” age group played a round robin then an elimination tournament going 2 - 2 in the round robin and third place over-all in the tournament. They ended up winning a bronze medal. The games were very com petitive and rough with very loose officiating and the day was long, resulting in some very tired and sore athletes. But it was great fun and mutual interests were shared with folks from all over Virginia. Bob, Carroll and Bill also won the Free Throw contest, in their age group, coming in 1-2-3 respectively. The “Seniors” are looking forward to next year’s games. They may also play in the West Virginia Senior games this month and in the National Senior Games in Pittsburgh in 2005. The Virginia Senior Games also include bowling, racquetball, swimming, tennis, badminton, billiards, golf, horseshoes, mini-golf, shuffleboard, softball, wallyball, archery, canasta, race walk, table tennis, track and field, pickle ball, road race, cycling and triathlons.

The time was Filled with fun and learning experiences. For many students, it was their first time competing. First timer Patrick Lawrey participated in System Control Technology. He enjoyed this “because I got to play with Legos.” For some, it was even the first time being involved with TSA. Lara Kreyling decided to join because she “wanted to try something new, and I wanted to learn something. It was really fun,” said Lara. Success was great with many members carrying trophies home to Rappahannock County. The high school chapter even brought home three state champions— Jenny Ferdetta, Lauren Herbert, and Lara Kreyling for their SciVis project. They explained that they made “an animation using Poser as an entertaining advertisement. We were supposed to create an animation for a purpose, to entertain, inform, and promote.” Placing second was the Cyberspace Pursuit team consisting of Morgan Blubaugh, Bruce Flinchum, Tom Gillis, Patrick Lawrey, and Daniel Pierson. Adam Freitag and Torsten Hermansen placed fourth in Technology Challenge; Lauren Herbert fourth in Promotional Graphics, Jenny Ferdetta fifth in Promotional Graphics, and the team of Daniel Pierson, Bruce Flinchum, and Nathan Welch fifth in Film Technology. rinansts wno placed seventh were Laura Maloney in Desktop Publishing and Prepared Presentation and Jenny Ferdetta in Imaging Technology. Those who placed tenth were Clay Vickers in Extemporaneous Presentation, the team of Lauren Herbert and Kaite Payne in Technology Problem Solving, and the team of Morgan Blubaugh, Bruce Flinchum, r ACHIEVEMENT: Chris Nugent congratulates Tyler Crews who proudly holds a trophy for placing third in Prepared Speech at the State TSA Competition. and Daniel Pierson in Technology Bowl.

Chris Nugent placed ninth in Technical Writing Challenge and the team of Chris Nugent and Tyler Crews placed tenth in Leadership Challenge. Clay Vickers will sit at the head table next year representing the Northern Region as President. In Morgan Blubaugh’s campaign effort for the State President, he lacked enough delegate votes to become elected. The leadership part of TSA is just as hard as the contests. Ron Vickers honored Another great honor earned was that Ron Vickers was the runner up for the advisor of the year. He demonstrated excellent leadership and earned this award because of his many years of being dedicated to his chapter team at RCHS and his FINALIST: Joe Vickers looks up at a screen to see his name shown as a state finalist in the TSA Competition. strong will to enhance technology literacy among them: For this writer, Mr. Vickers has always encouraged me to try new things since I met him in the ninth grade.

From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of the Persian Gulf, they stood up for the dictates of their nation’s leaders. Today, however, men and women in harm’s way in Iraq are surely as confused as the rest of the nation by President George Bush’s ever-spinning reasons for carrying out the mission questioned from the start by leaders around the globe. We invaded because of weapons of mass destruction we can’t find. Or because of Iraq’s ties to terrorists. Or because Saddam Hussein was tyrant. Or ... or ... or .... We stayed after the president landed on an aircraft carrier and it was declared “mission accomplished” because we were chasing Saddam. Or Osama bin Laden. Or trying to create a democratic regime. Or aiming to mend ancient conflicts. Or ... or ... or ... or .... If you needed a reason, the president and his team had one ready. The need for more troops? It’s a long mission, and has risks. These are pretty slim reasons for putting our troops in danger. We have seen photos of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, the work of a few bad seeds{) but kept under wraps for months. We have seen constant attacks on U.S. troops by the people they were trying to win over. But nothing that President Bush’s team has done since the day we invaded Iraq can match the inanity of the story of Ahmad Chalabi, a member of the Iraqi Governing Council positioned by the administration to be Iraq’s next leader. Chalabi was embraced by the hawks in the Bush administration as the answer to Saddam from his years of running the Iraqi National Congress, an exile group very good at wooing conservative Republicans such as the ones filling the administration. Civilian leaders in the Department of Defense urged President Bush to put Chalabi in power, despite concerns raised by the State Department. Chalabi returned to Iraq for the first time since leaving in 1958. He carried a subsidy in excess of $300,000 a month from the U.S. government. And he carried the hopes of the administration that he would be the one to open the door that lets U.S. troops walk out. Instead, he has became just another embarrassment for the administration: he has reached out to government officials in Iran, the world leader in spreading hatred of the U.S. Since the contacts became public, he was cut off by the Pentagon and is on the verge of losing his power. He counters that he could explain it all, if given the chance. Oh, please. Isn’t it enough that we have President Bush and his hawks filling the airwaves with explanations of the administration’s missteps? It’s time for more than words. It’s time for the President to face the fact that the people giving him advice are steering him wrong. A good start would be to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz. Rumsfeld tried since January to keep the lid on the prison torture scandal. When the torture images finally leaked into public view, Rumsfeld tried to smooth it all out with a trusty PR extravaganza: the drop-in to the battlefront in Iraq. Wolfowitz was the primary reason that Chabali became the U.S.-supported leader of the new Iraq. Obviously, that failed. They must go. Now. The American people deserve leadership. Too many flag-draped coffins are landing at Dover Air Force Base. Too many families are going to bed at night wondering whether their loved one will be safe on the ground in Iraq. Too much of our national treasury is being poured into this effort. The stumbling and bumbling can not be ignored. It’s time to clean house.

Letters Thanks to Boy Scout Troop 36 First Class Scouts Josh Bywaters, Matt Bywaters, Austin Burdick, Tyler Burdick, Robert Carins and Charles Crawford with Assistant Scout Masters Doug Bywaters, Todd Burdick and Opie Crawford cut grass, pruned trees and shrubs, and cleaned generally the Masonic Cemetery in preparation for Memorial Day when many family members visited the grave site of their loved ones. This community service, completed by members of Troop 36, was done in conjunction with the Washington Masonic Lodge that is responsible for the cemetery. The members of the Lodge thank the Boy Scouts and extend appreciation on behalf of the community for their efforts. John Hartline Washington Masonic Lodge #78 Carrying on Bill Young’s vision for Rappahannock We would like to invite everyone’s participation in a celebratory event at the Rappahannock County High School on Sunday, the 6th of June at 2 p.m. The community’s generosity at the time of Bill Young’s death is greatly appreciated. He would have been pleased by the sentiment, for which we express our appreciation. Deciding upon an appropriate memorial was difficult because his interests were numerous, but once having discovered Rappahannock County they truly focused on keeping it as it is, and we know that is what most who knew him want too. It is our belief that an agricultural elective introduced into the school’s curriculum}) in which the young people of our community can learn the benefits of, and the necessity for, our area remaining scenic, productive, environmentally healthy, yet financially rewarding}) is vital. The special project for which your generous gifts in his memory will go is toward that end. All contributions will be matched this year by our family. When we educate our youth to appreciate the precious surroundings and to preserve them, we achieve his dream. A course in agriculture is to be instituted which will encourage those associated with suitable land to stay the course, to continue this beautiful viewscape in forestial and agricultural use. Our young artists will capture the scenes, as many already have, and thus perpetuate them, our scientists can apply their biological, chemical, and geographical skills and those who so desire can continue to pursue mechanical means of attaining these goals. It can all come together to preserve what we have been given to share. A brief tour of the existing facilities and the serving of refreshments created by our Culinary Arts group is planned. We sincerely hope that you will join us so that we may express our appreciation in person. Mitzie Young on behalf of the Young Family Washington For the family of Johnny Jenkins, a dream comes true We would like to thank everyone who came out and supported our son Johnny Jenkins’ fund-raiser and to those who were not able to make it to the spaghetti dinner but, who so kindly, made a donation. Special thanks goes to Project Rainbow and to Jane Mullen who has helped us make this dream come true for our son. Also special thanks to Daphne Hutchinson for writing our story, to Rob Sherwood who recorded our son’s video tape to send to Island Dolphin Care and to Mary Ann Kuhn and the Rappahannock News for printing our article in the paper. The fund-raiser was a great success. The support Johnny got from the community was overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who showed support, Johnny will get to go to Florida to swim with the dolphins. May God bless each and everyone of you. The Jenkins Family Sperryville Thank you Rappahannock County’ I was proud to be a part of the first Rappahannock County High School Culinary Arts Gala “Dinner for the Hood” on May 22. This event was a shining example of what can be accomplished when we challenge high school students to do their very best. Despite a myriad of other major events in the county that Saturday night, the event drew more than 100 people. Through ticket sales, advertising sales, donated auction and raffle items and cash donations we were able to raise money needed to install a gas line and purchase equipment to go beneath the commercial exhaust hood the Board of Supervisors agreed to fund earlier this month. There are many people who contributed to the success of this event and my gratitude goes out to each and every one of them, but especially to the planning committee that has worked so diligently over the past several months. Debbie Donehey, owner of Griffin Tavern, and Tareq Salehi, of Oasis Winery, were the visionaries who came up with the r idea for a formal dinner prepared and served by the students, paired with wines from local wineries and set at the breathtaking Oasis Winery. Amy Silver provided the much needed marketing and administrative and general coordination necessary to make this event a success. Veronika Benson provided the bookkeeping support, despite working and pursuing a master’s degree, and Chef Jeff Benson, contributed culinary advice and ran the kitchen and directed the student chefs who created delicious and beautiful food. Bonnie Richards coordinated logistics for the event and the tying up of many loose ends, as well as helping me maintain my sanity throughout the months of planning. This small group proved that quality, not quantity is what really matters. Many businesses assisted in a variety of ways and the dinner could not have happened without them: The Inn at Little Washington, Epicurious Cow, Long Mountain Nursery, J’s Gourmet, Oasis That Rental, Trinity Episcopal Church, Marriott Ranch, Farfelu Winery, Gray Ghost, Pearmund Cellars, Rappahannock Cellars, Unicorn Winery, Rucker Farm, Sunnyside Farms, Central Coffee, M. Slavin and Sons Seafood, Belle Meade and the many sponsors and businesses who purchased advertising. Many individuals, parents, faculty members and former students donated their time to assist with photography, wine service, valet parking and general assistance during the event and I thank them for the critical role they played in its success. We were supported by many facets within the RCHS community. Mrs. Sours’ graphic arts class provided artwork and layout for the invitations. Mr. Nazer’s horticulture class grew all the greens for the salad and the herbs for the centerpieces and assembled them under the guidance of Donna Marquisee. The RCHS Bluegrass group and the RCHS Jazz ensemble provided entertainment during the welcome reception. Ms. Edward’s and Mr. Schlosser’s classes assisted with many last minute requests that added to the important details of this dinner. And, of course, the administration allowed us to go forward with this project and supported our efforts along the way. It is inspiring to work as part of a faculty that is so supportive of each other’s projects and students. The most important contributors to this dinner remain the students in my Culinary Arts classes. They continue to amaze me with their dedication and abilities under pressure. More than 70 percent of my students worked this amazing event and it could not have happened without them. I am proud to be their teacher and look forward to continued successes with them. Thank you, Rappahannock County, for providing an environment where an event like the “Dinner for the Hood” can take place.

Public schools: ‘What are we getting for our money?’ The Rappahannock County School Board wants the community to support a $3.75 million bond for capital expenditures. As someone who has been closely involved with the public schools for the past six years, my concern is not the money per se, but the process behind the specific request. A school system is like a business, albeit non-profit. It. provides a service, called education, which the community subsidizes, making all taxpayers the equivalent of stockholders in this business. Yet the Rappahannock County High School has just emerged from the equivalent of academic bankruptcy, as defined by the state. After three years, it finally met SOL standards for unconditional accreditation. The elementary school received its a year earlier. My comments then are both as a stockholder, and as a person who wants to send his son to the public schools. My concerns are threefold: the misplaced emphasis (typical of public schools generally) on physical capital over intellectual capital; the budget process by which “needs” are generated; and the missing cost savings plan. Misplaced emphasis It seems it is much easier to build physical things than to create the intangibles that 'Fish Wagon Delivery Dates & Times: Friday, June 18 SOUTHERN STATES CO-OP Winrhoctfir (540) 662-0375 - Time: 3:15-4:00 pm Saturday, June 19 TRACTOR SUPPLY Leesburg (703) 443-2611 - Time: 8:00-8:45 am ANGLER ENVIRONMENT Manassas (703) 393-4844 - Time: 9:45-10:30 am MARSHALL FARMER'S CO-OP Marshall (540) 364-1533 - Time: 11:30-12:15 pm The Forum John W. Kiser create educational excellence. Yet it is ultimately the intangibles that matter—morale, expectations, disciplined focus, good teaching and curriculum. lb take an example from Rappahannock sports— three years ago the Rappahannock high school girls,’ softball team won the state championship. The county was elated. Never happened before. Was it because of a new ball field? High tech bats or new esteem enhancing uniforms? No, it was because they hired a controversial coach who set high expectations and emphasized intense drilling of the basics —throwing and catching. He transformed the same team within one year. Such an approach would serve well the academic side of the house. In the proposed bond budget, two vocal lobbies seem to have scored with the school board—track and band. (The new gymnasium is supposedly “an absolute need” as is the air conditioning of the elementary school. I would like to know if there are contrary views from with in the school). As a stockholder in the school system, my question is: How many students benefit from these expenditures compared to potential benefits from alternative uses of that same money? The very legitimate question that many in this county raise is: What are we getting for our money? Is it better education, or simply more staff and buildings that cost more money to maintain? The School Board is proposing to spend almost $4 million on physical plant. Track envy and Paul Gall’s photographs showing the state-of-the-art track technology of neighboring schools advocated by Rappahannock’s aging Greek calendar gods has been rolled into the package. When I saw Mr. Gall’s article in the Rappahannock News last winter, I thought if envy is going to drive the process, why not low-teachertumover envy, or good matheducation envy, top notch vocational-education envy, or well—funded- teacher training envy? Second concern This leads to my second concern—the process by which the School Board reaches its spending recommendations. The superintendent presumably plays a big role, but to whom does the superintendent listen? Who influences whom in this process besides the lobbies? What is the role of the teachers? From my observations, at least two important stockholder constituencies are not heard by the public—teachers( too many of whom are not stockholders) and those parents—who are most parents—who don’t feel comfortable talking in public, are too tired or too busy to come to meetings or who don’t believe anyone will listen anyway. They are also likely to be those parents who can least afford an increase in their taxes. (Over the 20-year life of the bond, repayment of interest alone at four percent, or about $160,000, will mean another two cents on the tax rate paid—add one cent per $88,000 of taxes—by the 3,000 taxpayers in the county). Teachers are a valuable source of informed opinion about “needs” versus “wants” in the system. Yes, teachers too can be parochial and naturally want things for their own subjects, but they are also rich in insights about what goes on inside the buildings. They live with the students every day. Yet, my impression is that teachers are not encouraged to speak their mind publicly and candidly unless they are cheerleaders for the budget.

The same goes for parents who don’t regularly show up at School Board meetings. Controlling school costs Our superintendent Bob Chappell trimmed millions off the Page County school budget where he was previously. Good. He is a cost cutter. Why shouldn’t the School Board require him to look each year for ways to save money. Surely in a $10 million school budget that consumes 80 cents of each local tax dollar, there are ways to save money without affecting core educational programs. He believes that a school is not about buildings, rather what goes on inside them. He has heartily endorsed the Effective Schools Program for school improvement. Good. Nowhere in the Effective Schools literature does it say that more effective schools are created by spending more money. If a school is producing popcorn education, more money will only buy more popcorn. It is standard good business practice to seek to do more with less—by doing things smarter, eliminating or reducing wasted motion. Unfortunately, taxpayerfunded organizations generally do the opposite, which is to do less with more. It behooves the School Board and the county supervisors to force a change of culture in the school system, one that encourages getting the biggest positive result for the least amount of expenditure. That means becoming more economy-minded and making the wisest possible spending decisions. This requires healthy debate and intelligent questioning. Now Open... A unique shopping experience.

VDOT From Page A1 In response, the VDOT engineer, Garrett Moore, has ordered a study to be conducted to determine whether a hazard exists, according to the rules and regulations required for the state to impose one of several possible official limitations on speed— from stop signs to lowered limits and physical “bumps” and warnings painted on the surface of the road itself. The only other alternative is enforcement, which by the nature of manpower and resources is always going to be sporadic and costly for the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office. This is not the first time that the Fowlers have raised the speeding issue and not the first time a study has been conducted. Says Major Leggett, “The Fowlers correctly noted that the last time that a speeding analysis was done, it was botched.” No valid data came out of that first study, which VDOT conducted less than a year ago. Anomalies were recorded by new testing equipment with which VDOT says its technicians were not especially familiar with. Speeds recorded on the instrumentation could not possibly have been achieved on that short stretch of road, says Sheriff Larry Sherertz and VDOT. Also, the study was conducted from Friday to Monday, at a time when tourists and slow-driving gawkers were using the roads, instead of commuters and local drivers. Need new data “We all agreed 100 percent that we needed decent data,” says Mayor Leggett. “And we said, ‘Let’s do it again.'" In his letter, the mayor asked for a speed study “with no anomalies” to be conducted during two days in the middle of the week at the entrances into Washington from Route 211 and along Main Street from the north and south town limits. In his reply dated May 26, VDOT’s Moore readily agreed to the new study, adding there is a need this time for VDOT to include an “accident history and analysis” along with the speed study. Moore said in his letter that because VDOT’s funds are so limited that he wanted to be sure they were applied to areas where there is the “highest risk to public safety — measured using objective standards.” Says the mayor, “He doesn’t want to depend on who hollers. We will get the study. That’s great.” VDOT indeed has limited funds, but as Moore says, “We always work with localities to try to make things work. Citizens can be our best cue, and we get very good suggestions, but this does not always have to be the case. In this instance, the town suggested we do another speed study. And we will do it as a courtesy if citizens say there is an issue. We want to work with them.” But he adds, “If the town had not asked for it, we would not have taken action (after the first study was made). We would not have waited if we saw a potential problem but now the town has said they think there’s an issue there. I rode through at the time and I saw generally nothing that indicated excessive speed. We were watching it, and now we are digging a little deeper.” Flaws in first study He admits to the flaws in the first study, but he adds, “There was nothing in the information that would have cued us to do something there that isn’t being done now. Yet, we may find something this time.” He further adds, “Our issue is safety, not speed by itself,” which explains his determination this time to also investigate the history of the road's crashes and fatalities and speeding citations. This has put Fowler and, by association with this issue, Sheriff Larry Sherertz, in a kind of limbo that only a new study tan help to dispel. After the study last year, the sheriff was left to enforce speeding along Main Street. “We worked radar in town here and that is not something that has been done traditionally by my predecessors,” said Sheriff Sherertz. His deputies wrote up “a number of tickets, a bunch, and we made an impression on speeders.” But at the peak hours of morning and afternoon, Sherertz says, his traffic enforcement deputies are obliged to cover the roads for school children, which leaves the Fowler’s stretch of Main Street uncovered. Fowler admits, “The situation improved” with the sheriff’s enforcement efforts, until the enforcement “reverted” to what it was before, and the speeding continued. “The issue is, ‘Is there a hazardous condition?’ The nature of the complaint is that there is a hazardous condition, and we want to prevent anything from happening,”says Fowler. Sadly, none of this gives confidence to the parents of a young child. .The mayor says that everybody has an obligation to help the speeding situation. He understands the feelings behind the Fowler’s complaints, and has acted on their behalf. Yet, he adds reasonably, “On the other hand, he’s got a big back yard.” The VDOT study is expected to show- results in two to three weeks after it is conducted.

Among those who also have exhibited in the Summer Exhibition are Augustus John, Millais, John Singer Sargent, Joshua Reynolds, and in the modem era, R.B. Kitaj, Ivor Abrahams and Peter Blake. Recognition is not new to Slack, who has received glowing reviews in The Washington Post for museum shows over the years, from New York to Washington. But the Royal Academy, he admits, is different. “I am lucky, I think,” says Slack. “There are several very good artists in the area, but I owe this honor to Robin’s will masmm Brookkill Farm - Stunning panoramic views of the Blue Ridge and spectacular frontage on the Hazel River make this 48 acre Boston farm an unforgettable equestrian property.

Growing up He grew up in Paint Creek, W.Va., and Hansford, near Charleston, in a working class coal mining community. His father toiled in a coal processing plant and his brother — Slack is one of 14 children — worked under the earth. “I didn’t grow up in a house that was very cultured,” he tells a visitor. “I had an internal world I fed. I knew I had to leave. I later learned I could leave West Virginia but West Virginia didn’t leave me. It’s where my heart is.” He got on a train for Washington, D.C., and worked at first as a busboy and a “bar boy” on Capitol Hill. He landed a slot in the Foundation Program at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and submerged himself in the world of painting and sculpture. It was his art education. Later, he studied anatomy and drawing at the Art Students’ League on 57th Street in New York City. “You stumble along until you find your own voice — that’s the mission,” says Slack, who is shy to the point of avoiding the first person singular while speaking of himself (and of having his photograph taken for this article). In Rappahannock He came to Rappahannock in 1976, and to Washington, Virginia, a decade later, and lives in an 1833 house that hides behind tall, thick shrubs, and can barely be seen from the road. At the age of 53, Slack is a handsome man of medium build with bright, intense dark eyes and pupils that seem to absorb the smallest details in his field of vision. He wears a tired slouch hat of felt. His hands are gnarled and smooth. His enthusiasms flare when he speaks FARM Rare opportunity to acquire one of Rappahannock County’s most attractive and notable, working farms.

You don’t think about making art. You just do.” And in Rappahannock, he could just do. At first, the voice troubled Slack, as it does with many artists. “When I was studying art — all these different styles — I came to wonder, Where am I?’ I have a specific history and grew up among people who never had a voice.” Probably without knowing it, he had already found his own. He bases his art, he says, “on things I see every day.” And while that is accurate as far as it goes, he also says, “Most of my work deals with memories I have. I work from feelings I have.” His work, for the most part, is very representational and his content is clearly important to him. He has a fascination with architectural artifacts, though his Royal Academy painting verges from that subject, but not the theme, which is solitude, if not loneliness, times past, and opportunities lost. Slack’s ‘constructions’ He works in two and three dimensions, creating fascinating and whimsical “constructions” that fit no prescribed category, like sculpture or even for that matter, “construction.” One, . titled “Love Me Tfender,” a scale-model silver 1940s house trailer parked up on cinder blocks, with a raggedy TV antenna and a plastic lawn chair by the open door and shards of glass and cigarette butts on the sand, represents an icon of American culture, beautifully rendered. Inside the trailer on the wall hangs a portrait of Elvis. Scale for Slack is an expressive tool. He has created similar “constructions” of gin joints from the West Virginia hollows, roadside attractions (“See the Snake Pit”), and honky-tonk beer par Photo courtesy/Rex Slack ELVIS LIVES: Artist Rex Slack constructs models of bygone eras, like this one of a house trailer entitled, 'Love Me Tender.’ lors, country quick-stop diners (“Birdies Beer & Burger”) and Southwest American taco and chile stands. Slack captures not only the exact image but the Zeitgeist, and one observes these constructions with the feeling of being there not just in place but, remarkably, in time. One work in particular stands out for the emotions it evokes, a memorial to Slack’s grandmother portrayed sitting in a dimly-lit living room watching TV, probably in the 1950s, while a freight train goes slowly past her window in the night. The scene is set within the cabinet of a wooden 1950s TV set, and an antenna and a set of bronzed baby shoes sit on top. His two-dimensional work includes stunning and dramatic images of older houses on fire, of stone chimneys standing alone in fields like sentinels of loneliness, and, like his winning painting, of a lonely country road twisting through a forest with a single man standing by the side looking out. He portrays loss in metaphorical and symbolic ways that can seem haunting and even chilling to some observers. Slack paints houses for a living in a time honored tradition of the working artist that goes back from before Phidias. “You do what you have to do and pay the price,” Slack says. “I paint houses. It’s honest work. If I were in New York, I would be driving a taxi or waiting tables. It’s how I pay the bills. Art is my passion.” Bills include the maintenance of Slack’s two sons, Jeremy, 22, a student at the University of Arizona, and Daniel, 18, who recently graduated from high school in Pittsburgh, where he lives with his mother, Laurie Marshall. “I’ve been making art for 30 years,” Slack says. “I have to take care of my family and make art where I can. I follow my own path.” Surprise party Two days before his flight to London, he was given a surprise party in Little Washington hosted by his neighbors Brandon and Sarah Fowler. In order to get Slack to attend at all, the Fowlers lured him, telephoning that there was a snake in their baby’s bedroom. Slack rushed over with a rake in his hand, and looked stricken when he saw 35 guests waiting to congratulate him. “It’s a big deal,” said Brandon Fowler of the Royal Academy selection. “It’s a life event.” Before leaving for London with Robin Purnell as his traveling companion, patron, and guide, Slack took a moment to appreciate what Rappahannock has given to him. “The community has extended their support,” he says. “There are many others who are equally deserving of this honor, but I am moved by people’s care.” Your Country Property Realtors extraordinary home located in scenic Rappahannock County.

Floral arrangements should be sent to the funeral parlor; only white and yellow flowers are appropriate, and they should not have thorns. The most popular funeral flowers are white or yellow chrysanthemums. It is also customary for the bereaved family to greet those attending the funeral with gifts. Thus, it is common for attendees to receive a small packet containing hard candy and a red lucky money envelope. The candy should be unwrapped and eaten immediately to sweeten the sorrow of the occasion. The money, on the other hand, should be saved but spent that day on a small treat. Each culture has its own way of honoring the dead, just as each family has its own preferences of how to honor their loved one.

Accident From Page A1 and was in compliance with the law,” Trooper Don Corbin, recalled, watching him ride by. At 2:40 p.m., the motorcyclist, who was identified as Craig Linwood Cooley of Aldie, Va., continued west on Route 211 in the far right lane up the mountain road and around a curve, which he could not negotiate without crossing into the oncoming lane. Trooper Corbin, who investigated, said that “a high rate of speed was probably a contributing factor” in the accident. In crossing the lane, Cooley hit head-on a 1997 Chevrolet van driven by Bela Bolazs of New Jersey. Cooley-was killed instantly, according to Trooper Corbin, when he slid under the van.

Cooley was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Earlier accident On the same twisting road, a motorcyclist from Arlington, Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker FATALITY: Route 211 near Thornton Gap took another life over the Memorial Day weekend when a motorcycle driven by Loudoun County resident Craig L. Cooley, 42, of Aldie, Va., hit a van head-on Sunday while traveling in the oncoming lane around a sharp turn. The motorcycle bounced off the van, hit a guard rail, bounced back on the road and hit the rear of the van where it came to a stop by the roadside. Va., Michael R. Dolan, 26, sustained serious hip and arm injuries Saturday after crashing his 2000 Honda CBRX into the guard rail about a mile down from Thornton Gap, near the Shenandoah Park entrance in Page County. Dolan had exceeded the speed limit and was charged with reckless driving, according to Sgt. Gary Settle of the state police. After losing control of his motorcycle around a tight turn, Dolan ran off the right shoulder of the road and struck a guard rail. He. was thrown down a wooded embankment. State Trooper C.L. Jenkins came on the scene and alerted the Luray Fire and Rescue Department,' which in turn called for helicopter evacuation. Dolan was flown by Pegasus helicopter to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville for treatment. “On that stretch of road, there is no forgiveness, and there is no room for error,” Sgt. Settle said. In an effort to end weekend fatalities and accidents, police and VDOT recently posted new signs, reducing the speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 on Route 211 over Thornton Gap in hopes motorcyclists would drive slower. They also set up road checks to examine motorists’ licenses at the base of the mountain stretch and assigned troopers to ride up and down the mountain to slow down motorcyclists.

The team Schlosser put together for the project includes students Raymond Furr, Tom Nelson Jenkins, Meagan Elaine Smith, Howie Clark, and Jamie Dwyer. Gary Schwartz, owner of Heritage House Bed and Breakfast, is overseeing the project, and lending his knowledge to the team. The existing signs were made about 20 years ago by students interning under local craftsman and furniture maker Peter Kramer. While the signs have been a great asset to the community, they have begun to deteriorate. At a Town Council meeting last year, the town discussed replacing the signs with metal ones because they are much less expensive but decided against it. As Washington Mayor Gene Leggett said in a recent interview, “The wooden signs are a very distinct thing. They retain the flavor of the town and preserve its historic nature better than plain old metal.” Council member Claudia Mitchell, in agreement and determined to find a better solution, contacted Gary Schwartz. Schwartz owned a sign-making company in Richmond for 10 years. He estimated that the cost of having a professional hand make each one would be $300 per sign. Mitchell then checked with Rappahannock High School’s Schlosser who agreed to help the town, asking only $50 per sign. The students’ assignment is to make the signs look as close as possible to the originals. To do so, students use two pieces of cedar, making the signs sturdy. On a computer, a stencil is made to ensure precision when making the letters. A power-carving tool is used to carve the letters and the border. They are then handpainted with two coats of paint. The second coat of paint, supplied by VDOT, contains tiny glass particles £o make signs visible with headights at night. The class has had to overcome some obstacles. After several methods were tried, Kramer was contacted by Schlosser for advice on how to conquer the difficult task of carving the letters. The team has enjoyed working on the project. “Kids can give to the community while also getting something out of it. They can say ‘Hey, I made Wheeler Street,’” said Schlosser. Schlosser predicts that the new signs will last at least another 20 years. Who knows? Perhaps the class of 2024 will be recreating these quaint street signs of Little Washington. Correction A May 27 article on the landscaping of the Ratwoods garbage and recycling transfer facility incorrectly stated the location of River Hill Farm nursery. It is located in Amissville.

Bobwhite quail is slowly disappearing Photo courtesy/Nick Milam, U S. Fish and Wildlife Northern bobwhite quail By Bruce Jones Special to the Rappahannock News The cheery and uplifting sound is indicative of the country. . .bobwhite, bobwhite, bobwhite. That sound may well be yesterday’s memory, as the bobwhite quail is quickly disappearing right before our eyes. It. was not too many years ago that coveys of quail here were abundant. The sound of the bobwhite told you instinctively that you were in the country and gave you that feeling of closeness to nature. Many reasons have been given for the bobwhite’s demise — most are caused by human Birds of Rappahannock activity. The most probable cause for the downturn in quail numbers is the elimination of habitat. Large parcels of land have been divided into smaller units with much less natural cover left for any bird life. Additionally, until the 1950s most farmers planted row crops such as corn and beans. The land was tilled ‘The Last Samurai:9 a powerful adventure of the mind and heart By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News Set in Japan during the 1870s, “The Last Samurai” tells the story of Captain Nathan Algren (Tbrn Cruise), an American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to turn his Samurai warriors into an army of soldiers.

Grass fed beef: ‘a win-win situation for all of us’ Sperryville By JENNY MELLAN 987-9313 k ,1 ;■ : The sun was shining and breezes blowing as I walked through the pasture with Rebecca (Becky) Brown at Mount Vemon Farm earlier this week. Becky moved to the county from Martha’s Vineyard, where she was raised, early this year. The move was prompted by Cliff Miller wanting help with his grass fed beef operation at the farm. Becky shared that while she had been a vegetarian for eight years, she is now a happy consumer of grass fed beef and other healthy meats. What is grass fed beef? The cows roam freely throughout the pastures, are moved from site to site so as not to over graze, are never given hormones, antibiotics or grains and are not “finished,” that is forced to eat fattening grains often containing hormones, before slaughter. The cows are treated kindly and with a respect that is very humane and are even given stress reducing homeopathic remedies before being moved to the slaughter house. The health benefits of lean, grass fed beef are high levels of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, high concentrations of antioxidants and more vitamins E and A and betacarotene than “regular” beef. Becky explained that most cows are raised to 14 months or so, before they are slaughtered. Their final days include drinking apple cider vinegar and being allowed to graze in the pastures with the best grasses. There is a newly formed group called the Rappahannock Grass Fed Association which will eventually set standards and certification for grass fed animals. Members include Mike Biniek of Belle Meade and Joyce Hannon, DVM. lb purchase or learn more, call Mount Vernon at 540-987-9559 or Mike Biniek at 540-987-9748. I must say, I came away with a very positive feeling. As Becky pointed out, raising our food sources in ways that are clean, non-toxic, show respect for nature, and help heal the environment is a win-win situation for all of us. A thunderstorm a day holds back cutting of hay Things have been quiet in the Viewtown community this past week. Many landowners with hay to cut were frustrated to see quick intense thunderstorms coming along almost every day. This weather has also put in place an intense growing season for lawns. Thankfully, wl had beautiful weather over Memorial Day weekend to help give farmers a chance to try to catch up on hay cutting. Most people I see around the Laurel Mills Store say they have to mow every seven : iljll Viewtown By DANNY HITT 937-4221 days to keep lawns manageable. The hot and wet weather has also enabled an explosion in the black snake population. My wife and I have seen six or seven this week. Bravery today, yesteryear We hope everyone had a happy and safe Memorial Day and didn’t forget those who gave their lives in defense of our country. Concerning bravery and the willingness to sacrifice, we thought it would be fitting to make a report about some exceptional bravery that took place right here in our community. It’s hard to believe, but during the Civil War, two Congressional Medals of Honor were won not far from where the Forest Grove schoolhouse stands today. Captain Smith Hastings of the 5th Michigan and First Lieutenant Carle Woodruff, 2nd U.S. Artillery, share the same Medal of Honor citation concerning their actions at Battle Mountain on July 24, 1863. The citation reads, “While in command of a section of a battery constituting a portion of the rear guard of a division then retiring before the advance of a corps of Infantry, was attacked by the enemy and ordered to abandon their guns. Lieutenant Woodruff and Captain Hastings disregarded the orders received and aided in repelling the attack, saving the guns. “According to numerous sources, Custer’s initial engagement with the Confederate marching line at Newby’s Crossroads (modern day corner of Route 729 and Route 618) went horribly wrong. During this serious situation, Woodruff and Hastings, were instrumental in allowing the 5th and 6th Michigan to escape and rejoin the rest of Custer’s Brigade, as it retreated back to Amissville. With just a couple of Artillery pieces and a small number of dismounted men, they held off Confederate General Henry Denning’s Brigade and the 4th Alabama Regiment a few precious minutes to allow an escape.” These reports concerning the Congressional Medal Of Honor can be viewed on line at www.HomeOfHeroes.com.

Rappahannock Hunt elects officers at annual meeting The Rappahannock Hunt, headquartered in Sperryville, held its annual meeting recently at Flint Hill’s Griffin Tavern and elected Beth Gyorgy of Slate Mills as a new member of the board of directors. Gyorgy has been riding with the Rappahannock Hunt since 1998 and has been closely involved in the hunt’s hound breeding program. Others elected at the meeting included Oliver L. Brown of Reva, and Janet Payne O’Keefe, also of Reva, as Joint Masters of the hunt. Brown was first elected in 1999 and O’Keefe in 2001. Officers elected at the meeting were Gus Edwards of Reva, president; John Leary of Rapidan, vice president; and Barton Hitchcock of Culpeper, secretary-treasurer. In addition to Gyorgy, board members elected include Debbie Baker of Rapidan; Donald Maley of Amissville; and Carol Lee Quaintance of Flint Hill. As a result of its successful point-to-point races at the Bleu Rock Inn in Sperryville on Feb. 28, the hunt this year made donations of $1,000 to the Rappahannock County Lions Club, $400 to the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad and $400 to the Salem Volunteer Rescue Squad. “We believe this is a fitting way for the Rappahannock Hunt to say thank you’ to the communities whose landowners allow us the privilege of pursuing our sport,” said O’Keefe. The Rappahannock Hunt in its current form was established in 1926 and continues the traditions of fox hunting and steeplechase racing in the area that date back to the colonial period. The hunt is registered with and recognized by the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America. Its assigned territory covers about 20 by 39 square miles in Rappahannock, Culpeper and Madison counties. Movie From Page B1 expedition to Japan, where they will train the army to use modem weapons (and open up a new market for Winchester). When Algren arrives in Tbkyo he realizes Japan’s rising industrialists want American weapons to wipe out the samurai, the ancient warriors holding the country back with their moral code and piety. In their first skirmish with the samurai, Algren’s trainees are routed by the samurai—the fumbling riflemen ineffective against sure-handed swordsmen. Algren is taken alive because Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), the samurai leader, admires his fighting spirit. Katsumoto and his proud warriors live peacefully in the mountains, practicing karate and composing i-iappanannocK News haiku. From his captors Algren rediscovers honor. He shucks his cavalry uniform for robes, masters the katana blade and within a year becomes Katsumoto’s most trusted friend. “What does it mean to be a samurai?” Algren writes in his journal. “To devote yourself utterly to a set of moral principles.” The actors do a magnificent job in bringing the three-dimensional characters to life. The charismatic Watanabe is completely believable as the principled warrior, and he more than holds his own with superstar Cruise. Koyuki, and Hiroyuki Sanada (who plays an effective antagonist) are also excellent. “The Last Samurai” is a powerful story about heroes, and what makes them. “The Last Samurai” is a powerful story about heroes, and what makes them. The film is rated R for violence; run time is 144 minutes. Birds From Page B1 row crops have been replaced with beef cattle grazing fields, a practice that keeps grass too short for nesting. Hayfields here are cut twice yearly, usually in the prime nesting season, so nesting and cover are destroyed. Farmers have replaced many native or clumping “warm season grass” fields with fescue, a European grass that flourishes in coo weather. Bobwhite canno nest in fescue; they need tb clumping native grasses t raise their broods, rather thai the thick, massed fescue.

With the increased use of chemicals in both fanning and residential use, the numbers of other bird species, such as the Bald Eagle, Falcon, and Osprey have declined. The population of bobwhite’s natural predators! skunks, raccoons, opossums and foxes), appears to have remained about the same. But the population of the feral cat has gone up geometrically in the past 15-20 years. People abandon their cats and kitten litters in the country and they survive and multiply. And do r they! There are more feral cats, good hunters they are, than all other natural predators combined. Naturalists feel that feral and domestic house cats are having a major impact on entire bird populations, including the bobwhite quail. So for those of you mowing every inch of your land, leave some patches to naturalize for our critters— the bobwhite quail, the birds and the butterflies. They all will appreciate it.

Mary also sighted the Yellow-billed Cuckoo along with Marshall Jones, Gid Brown Hollow; we here on Long Mountain added its cousin, the Black-billed Cuckoo (Yes, Virginia, there really Eire Cuckoos!). Also seen here on Long Mountain, are our resident Red-shoulder Hawk Emd the Great Crested Flycatcher. I expected a rash of Warbler sightings, but with the exception of Mark Malek reporting the Wilson Warbler, there were few. Observations of the Indigo Bunting were reported by Kent Hickman, Andy Platt and Mary Dobrovir; Donn Jones sighted the Blue GrosbeEik. Note in your bird book the small veuiances between the Indigo Bunting and the Blue GrosbeEik. Most birders have a difficult time discerning between the two. Under the heading of “Build it Eind they will come,” five years ago I built and installed bird boxes on the swampy, shady edges of our ponds, hoping to attract a very uncommon wsirbler. On May 5, a male Prothonotary Warbler made his presence here, singing his heart out, in an attempt to attract a mate. This bird, which lives primarily in swampy woodlands and wet river bottoms, was called the “golden swamp bird” by the eEirly settlers. This warbler nests in tree cavities or in man-made boxes that are installed over water. As of May 25, the singing continued, but due to the infrequency of the bird here in Rappahannock, he may have to move on or he will remain a bachelor this year. Next on my wish list—the rare Loggerhead Shrike. We added 11 species to our county-wide tally. After rechecking the list for the pswt months, I noted a few omissions. We ended April with 89 species seen (math was never my strong point)! So, by adding our 11 species this month, we are at an even 100 bird species for Rappahannock County. We will update next month our total list of all species seen since Jammry for those keeping a tally of the Birds of Rappahannock. Thanks for your input and keep on sending in those sightings.
