MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer In a solemn and joyous rite of passage that turns boys and girls into responsible young women and men, 83 members of the Rappahannock County High School’s Class of 2004 paraded into the gymnasium Saturday morning, wearing mortar boards and blue gowns, to receive diplomas that for many of them capped 18 years of work and dedication. “Wow!” a smiling, radiant Brittany Thornhill, the Class Valedictorian, told her classmates and a room packed with close to a thousand parents, relatives and friends. “It did not seem like this day would ever come. But it has. We are adults.” lb the traditional strains of Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance March” played by the accomplished musicians of the RCHS Band, the Class of2004 proceeded at measured pace Rappahannock Staff Photos Malcolm MacPherson PROCESSIONAL: Members of the Class of 2004 line up in the Rappahannock County High School gymnasium under the admiring gaze of their relatives and friends to receive their diplomas from Principal Roger Mello. one by one into the auditorium on the stroke of 9 o’clock on an early summer’s day, with the scent of new-mown grass in tne air. This was the 53rd Annual Commencement of the RCHS, and Ruth Ann Oyster, a slim, tall senior, set the tone both literally and figuratively, singing the “Star Spangled Ban ner” in an articulate and stunningly simple arrangement that could easily stand as a national model for how the anthem should respectfully be rendered. She was followed by the whimsy of a See GRADUATION, Page A3 ... and not to remember Fire guts house; Town is left without water By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer The sky was Santa Fe blue, the air crisp and the morning held promise for a perfect day. Fifteen minutes after 8 o’clock last Saturday, as the town of Washington was waking up, its inns and B&Bs busy cooking coffee and muffins, their overnight guests readying for showers, the water in the village suddenly slowed to a trickle, then stopped. Having no water in a town that depends on hospitality for income is money going down the drain. “I couldn’t believe it,” said David Huff, owner of the Country Cafe, who not only was preparing breakfasts but also two catered graduation events. “I was washing fruit and vegetables for the graduation parties we were catering that night, when the water just stopped.” Darlene Moore, owner of the Beauty Box hair salon, said her first customer of the day, not to be deterred, returned to her home outside town, washed her hair, and came back to have it styled. The mayor of Washington, Gene Leggett, began fielding calls from his home on Harris Hollow Road while Councilwoman Claudia Mitchell ran over to Tbwn Hall to answer the phones. Everyone was calling to find out why there was no water, especially those in the hospitality business who were concerned that their guests might be unhappy about going showerless. Most residents were not aware that, only a few miles away, all of Rappahannock County’s volunteer firefighting resources—all six fire companies—were at 205 Grand View Road in Tiger Valley fighting a raging fire at a red-brick house with flames “three times the height of the house,” according to Washington fire chief Ann Spieker, first on the scene.

When one of the other county fire trucks came into town to get more water from one of the town’s 29 fire hydrants—the only fire hydrants in the county—the firefighter didn’t follow proper procedure, according to fire officials. The firefighter shut off the valve of the hydrant too quickly, sending a “shock” down the main water line, bursting open a pipe on Warren Avenue and leaving a 12-14 foot gash. The town’s reservoir—all 100,000 gallons—was totally depleted, leaving the town waterless. With quick, expert work by two men most familiar with the town’s water system, Steve Critzer and Ralph Gheen, the town’s water, except for Warren Avenue, was back on by 10:30 a.m. It was fully restored by 10:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the mayor. The fire The inconvenience to the town’s businesses and residents was minuscule compared to the devastating fire at the home of Patricia “Miranda” Plotnick, which gutted her house.

MacPherson Rappahannock News Staf? Write A light went on in his head while Charles W. Strittmatter of Flint Hill was ruminating how he would cast his vote last Wednesday night at a meeting of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission, whether to recommend a controversial and long-suffering lighting ordinance to the Board of Supervisors. “I realized that we don’t need a lighting ordinance as Rappahannock is now,” said Strittmatter. “An ordinance will not change one single thing in the county the day before to the day after it goes into effect, if it does.” But, Strittmatter said, the ordinance gives the county Board of Supervisors “the teeth (of enforcement) if a large corporation wants to come into our county and light up the See LIGHTING, Page A7 _'-r<s ;•> SMAKER i i Sushi chefs A good time was had by all at a ‘Song and Sushi’ fund-raising dinner for Ki Theatre.

Strange and Laura Kestner of Rappahannock County for the successful completion of the Teenage Driver Safety and Education Program. The program is designed to save the lives of Virginia teens by rewarding safe, responsible teenage drivers. Since the program’s inception in 1996, Virginia Farm Bureau has invested $1 million, by awarding savings bonds to young drivers in each of Virginia’s 95 counties. “Driving safely is a fundamental that is often overlooked,” said Darlene Wells, Director of Underwriting and MRD for Virginia Farm Bureau. “We designed this program to impress upon teens that safe driving is a life-long skill. We backed up that thought with a generous reward upon completion of the program.” According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young people from 1520 years of age. In fact, although this age group represents just seven percent of the driving population, they are involved in 14 percent of traffic fatalities. On the basis of miles driven, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as other drivers. It is for that reason that Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance Services started the Teenage Driver Safety and Education program for its members in December 1996, with the first bonds awarded in December 1999. Under the program, a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond is presented to the teen-age driver when special conditions are met including completion of a driver safety educations course before the driver’s 18th birthday; no traffic convictions or accidents during a three-year period following the completion of the course; the maintenance of a continuous valid Virginia driver’s license during the threeyear period; and continuously rated on a private passenger type vehicle providing liability coverage with Virginia Farm Bureau for the three-year period. Achieving Dean’s List Kara Goff of Castleton was named to Virginia Tech’s Dean’s List for the spring semester. To qualify, students must attempt at least 12 credit hours graded on the A-F option and earn a 3.4 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Goff is a sophomore majoring in political science in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. Jason Christopher Simeon of Viewtown and Lynn Ann Stephens of Sperryville, both James Madison University students, achieved the Dean’s List in the spring semester which requires a gradepoint average of 3.5 to 3.89 with a course load of at least 14 hours.

Leonard Scholarship Grant was presented to Christopher Ehrhard who plans to become a teacher. The Mary P. Marocchi Scholarship Grant was presented to Danielle Hiserman who plans to be a nurse.

Wakefield students receive national recognition By Kathie Russo Special to the Rappahannock News Each year, students at Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill participate in national examinations that test their proficiency in Latin, French and Spanish, and in recent weeks many of them have received notification that they scored well enough to merit national recognition. This spring, 60 students took the National Latin Exam and 29 of them recently learned that they had achieved scores that exceeded the national average. Marguerite Beattie, an eighth grader from Woodville, achieved a perfect score at the level at which she tested. The National Latin Exam is a standardized test administered to over 131,000 students from 50 states and in eight foreign countries. The tests are administered at five different levels; Introduction to Latin, Latin I, Latin II, Latin III & IV Prose, and Latin III & IV Poetry. Each test contains 40 questions, and awards are given to all students whose scores exceed the National Average. Paul Beattie of Woodville took the exam for Latin IV Poetry, missed only one question, and won the Gold Summa Cum Laude award. He received a copy of the Oxford Classical Dictionary in recognition of the fact that he has now earned a total of four gold medals on National Latin Examinations. At the Latin III Prose Level, the national average is 27. Silver Maxima Cum Laude went to Allison Russo of Flint Hill. Caitlin Hammelman won Magna Cum Laude and Dorian Matthews of Flint Hill received Cum Laude. In Latin II, ninth graders Ben Luke of Little Washington and Patrick Dale of Luray both earned Silver Maxima Cum Laude Awards.

Brittany Thornhill excels the old-fashioned way DI MALCOLM L.. MACrUERSON Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Living in a culture where self-esteem brigades often trump common sense and even children sen& the truth that the trophy they were “awarded” wasn t really earned, one young Rappahannock woman is an anomaly and a standout. She earned her accolades the oldfashioned way. Brittany Thornhill, 17, graduated last weekend fh)m Rappahannock County High School as the top dog, the Valedictorian of her Class of 2004 who finished four years of high school with a Grade Point Average of 4.0, higher than any of her 82 classmates. On this scale, that she was also the Female Athlete of the Year seems nice but beside the point. Academically, she finished first among equals, and she did not get there by coast mg, Dy me strengtn ol personality, by a genius^ Intelligence Quotient, by being “connected,” or by standing in line for a self-esteem prize. She earned the high honor through perseverance, diligence, and hard work. It did not come easily. “She did what she wanted to do to make herself successful,” said her mother, Cindy Thornhill, of Boston. “It was up to her. Her determination is huge.” What did she have to sacrifice to beat out another student with whom she ran neck-andneck—the Class Salutatorian Lara Kreyling, who will attend the University of Virginia in the fall? Brittany gave up going out on some weekends, and joining her mother on shopping and other fun trips. Brittany said, “And I sacrificed lots of sleep, mostly sleep.” She had to work hard just to stay ahead. Said Brittany, “I was aware of the competition. Lara was naturally smart, and I’m not naturally smart.” Her desire was “personal more than anybody pushing me,” she said. “I wanted to see if I could accomplish something. I started the senior year at Number One, and I wanted to finish as Number One.” Early in her senior year, she was recruited by 11 colleges and universities for her softball pitching abilities; she was in ninth grade when the girls’ softball team won the State Championship. Of those that recruited her, she decided on the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., which, along with the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, make up America’s service academies for which Congressional appoint Rappahannock Staff Photo Malcolm MacPherson ADDRESS: Valedictorian Brittany Thornhill addresses her classmates, telling them, ‘It did not seem this day would ever come.’ She did what she wanted to do to make herself successful. It was up to her. Her determination is huge. Cindy Thornhill, Brittany’s mother ments are required. Brittany received her appointment through U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor and U.S. Sen. John Warner. The choice of the academy appealed to Brittany whose grandfather served in the Merchant Marine in World War II. Despite recruitment and passing high-powered interviews before Congressional panels, she had to take the SATs four times, struggling to bring up her verbal score to meet the Kings Point minimum requirement. She studied verbal analysis with flash cards for 30 days, endlessly going over and over the same material, well past the point when others might have quit. She had learned the value of repetition, she said, with softball. She practiced every day, over and over again. “It was repetition after repetition,” her mother said, admiringly. “It was boring doing the same thing over and over—whether it was for the SA'ft or pitching. But where most kids quit and say they don’t want to do it anymore, Brittany kept on.” Graduation From Page A1 Blue Grass ditty, “Bluegrass State of Mind,” written, played and sung by graduating seniors Brian Taylor and Anthony Clinedinst, and accompanied on the guitar by School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell, in cap and gown. Speeches being the essential ingredient in graduations, this one did not disappoint, though the tempo of the palaver was marked by a desire to keep the ceremony moving along, and no one bogged down the audience with excessive platitudes. The first to the podium, John Wesley “Wes” Mills, School Board Chairman, reminded the audience that a third of the graduating class would be moving into higher education, while another third would enter the work force, and a final third would join the armed forces. “Take the responsibility,” he told the graduates, “to see beyond the moment, to see the beauty of our home.” He urged them to say, “I did my best. I have no regrets.” Class Salutatorian Lara Kreyling, who will be attending the University of Virginia, along with 20 other graduates who are going on to universities and colleges, borrowed from popular songwriters in her address, quoting Joni Mitchell (“You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone”) and Bob Dylan (“May you be forever young”). Class Valedictorian Thornhill, who will be attending the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., thanked those to whom she gave credit for getting all the graduates to this day. She talked about parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors who “shared” the job with “love, effort, time and wisdom.” She said, “Our lives are like a book. We are ending Section One” and beginning a new chapter which will afford the graduates with “choices, right decisions, choosing the right people to admire, and waking up every morning with goals,” among other new challenges. She wanted to know how to judge success, according to the dictionary’s definition, or RapDa’ianr.ocK Staf’ Photos Maico1^ MacPherson TOE TAPPING: School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell, right, on guitar joins graduating seniors Brian Taylor, middle, and Anthony Clinedinst, left, in singing an original song, “Bluegrass State of Mind," at the high school’s 53rd annual commencement ceremony. 66 Don’t forget Rappahannock is your home. I hope you return. God bless. Roger Mello Principal, RCHS what? She preferred the definition of becoming part of “something much bigger than yourself.” And she epded by quoting Robert Frost, “Two roads diverged in the woods/I took the one less trayeled by." School Superintendent, Dr. Chappell, urged the graduates “to learn how to persevere. Don’t quit one job until you find another one.” And several mothers and fathers in the audience agreed with their muffled applause. “Persevere if you get hitched. It takes give and take,” he said, reminding the audience that he had persevered in marriage for 37 years. In marriage as in everything else, he said, “Don’t be afraid to say you are wrong, or to tell someone when they are right.” The Commencement Address was given by James Russell, Rappahannock’s historian and author, who reminded the Class of 2004, “This is the SISTER'S PRIDE: After the commencement ceremony, accepting the praise of family and classmates, senior Latoya Porter gets a hug from her sister Gabrielle. first day of the rest of your life, and the best day of your life.” And finally, before the diplomas were passed out, Principal Roger Mello said, “The real learning, the rest of the lessons, are about to take place. I hope you will continue to learn. Keep your mind open.” He quoted Mark Twain. "When I was 18 my parents did not know a thing. When I was 22,1 was amazed at how quickly they had learned.” He ended the ceremony, saying, “Don’t forget Rappahannock is your home. I hope you return.

Last week, 83 Rappahannock County High School seniors threw their mortar boards into the air and roared in celebration of endings, for some of innocence and restraint and apron strings, and a beginning of independent lives, pitfalls and perils and the joys of satisfying dreams and potentials. What a deliciously frightening time this is, filled with wonder of the unknown, pregnant with big questions: Can I do this? What can I do? Where can I go? Will I be safe? Successful? Am I taking the correct road to get me to where I want to go? Who will be my friends? Will I be alone? This moment, with a diploma in their hands, signals the final end of childhood and adolescence. From now on, many graduates will start to earn livings and live off what they earn, live away from their families, taking responsibility for their thoughts and actions, and for their relationships. Indeed, the diploma is a ticket to growing up and for the first time being taken seriously by a grownup world. We have watched them from a distance, in their sporting and other-extracurricular events, through their triumphs and tragedies, and we feel a genuine pride in the achievement of this week. We will watch what happens from here, always with the complete and genuine hope that dreams do come true and starting now, all tomorrows will be bright.

Mil III!A_. sign up « RC Letters Supervisors urged to approve salary increases As a resident of Rappahannock County and a 25-year law enforcement professional I fully support Sheriff Sherertz’s request to the county Board of Supervisors for salary increases for he and his deputies. Not only is it a reason able and appropriate request, it is fiscally sound. Constant turnover erodes the ability of the department to provide those necessary services that county residents want, need, and expect, especially given today’s challenges, say nothing of the impact that low wages have on an officer’s overall morale and productivity. Sheriff Sherertz appears to have demonstrated that it will cost the county more in the long run to continually hire new and less experienced officers. Does a wonderful and progressive com munity like Rappahannock County not deserve an experienced and stable police force? I hope that the Board of Supervisors looks at the total picture and approves the salary increase requests. William Reynolds Washington Reader ‘disgusted’ by news writing about Corbin tragedy Dylan M. Corbin was and still is a part of Rappahannock County. His tragic death has moved us all, from his family to his classmates. Yes, he has already passed but, no, we will never forget about him. This past school year, Nathan Corbin, Dylan’s older brother, has struggled to make it through the long days he knew awaited him. Dylan’s death was a tragic accident, nothing more. It could have happened to anyone. Nathan loves his brother more than anyone can imagine. But that is not the reason that I am writing this letter; the reason is because I have read stories in the Rappahannock News, like the column in the June 10 edition, “Teen drivers cautioned about driving risks,” and I have been disgusted to find that the writer has written horrible things like, “the tragic death of a younger brother in Rappahannock at the hands of his older brother.” This is not the first time that I have found myself throwing the newspaper in the trash because of something someone has assumed and written, seeming like they don’t care about the family. I was in a class with Nathan Corbin, and since Dylan’s death, he was the only person that I could talk to about anything. Unlike everyone else in the class he listened to the “little people.” Not only has he become a great friend but he is also my hero. So I please ask for the writers of the newspaper to stop blaming or whatever they think they’re doing, and keep it out of the articles. Don’t keep saying things, like what was written in the past articles or don’t say anything at all. To many of us, Dylan Corbin is still amongst us. So please, be respectful to the Corbin family, because they have already gone through enough hell. Thank you. Emily Raney Amissville Where contributions to Bill Young Fund should go On Sunday,-June 6 in coming together to recognize persons who contributed to a special fund to honor Bill Young, I failed to offer attendees an opportunity to identify themselves or to suggest how contributions may be made by persons wishing to promote a conservation plan to keep Rappahannock County green by having an agricultural course at RCHS starting September 2005. Headwaters Endowment will accept funds dedicated to this plan as will the School Administration. Checks may be made payable to Headwaters Endowment/Bill Young Fund and mailed to Headwaters, 297 Gay Street, Washington, VA 22747. All such contributions will be matched by the Young family for the cost of the first year start up. Again we thank the community and other friends for their generosity.

‘Best to put Rappahannock County on low-beam, now’ Alighting ordinance for the commercial sector has flashed from initial conception to the Planning Commission, to the Board of Supervisors, back to the Planning Commission, and now forward again to the Board of Supervisors, all in five years. Markets rise and fall, world crises begin and end, but Rappahannock County shoulders on with all due deliberate speed with its codes and ordinances. Some say the lighting ordinance is frivolous, not needed, that it is another example of bureaucratic mum bo-jumbo, or that it is the work of a small group of do-gooders; or that currently required site plans solve the problem, or that it won’t stand up in a court of law. They say it is another step in government telling us what to do; or that local businesses are aware that excessive light is not wanted in the county; that it lacks public support, or that unregulated fighting is needed for security purposes; Others argue that the ordinance preserves the night skies so we can enjoy seeing the moon and the stars, that it prevents glare, fight trespass, and the waste of energy; that there is a safety issue due to diminished vision in going from a brightly fit area to darkness in vehicles; that property values are preserved (who wants to five near Sheetz). They say Corporate America will come in and put local businesses out of business by “out-fighting’’ them; that statistics show excessive fighting does not prevent crime. They note that all current businesses in the county are grandfathered in— they do not have to adhere to the proposed fighting ordinance. The key argument, though, .was nailed down by Charles Strittmatter at the Planning Commission meeting of June 16, when the fighting ordinance was approved by a narrow margin of 4 (Matthews, Junk, > The Forum i~ Tapper, Strittmatter) to 3 (Brown, Frazier, and Henry). Mr. Strittmatter, after citing many reasons why a lighting ordinance was not needed, concluded in the end that it was needed because “interlopers from the outside” can use excessive lighting to put local businesses out of business. The county needed to prepare for the future. Lighting at gas stations This is true. Approaches to commercial night lighting are changing. Take gas stations. A study published in December 2001, by the Lighting Research Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.Y., noted the following: “A brightness war has broken out between gas stations throughout America. The goal is to have the brightest undercanopy lighting in the local market. If one gas station in an area installs lighting with greater brightness, competing stations feel obliged to be brighter still. The result of this escalating process has seen a steady increase in the illuminances produced by undercanopy lighting with the result that, today, illuminances on the apron under the canopy commonly exceed 100 foot candles, more than double the illuminances used in many offices. . . complaints have increased pressure on local officials to correct the situation.” Sheetz serves as a good example: its lighting has been measured at 120 foot-candles. Its canopies are close to 20-feet high as compared to the normal 14-feet high range. More light Photos by Don Audette NEW DESIGN: Note the use of a light bar, in red, around the canppy to illuminate the sides of the canopy. is thus needed to illuminate the fueling area. In addition, the entire surface of its apple-red canopies is illuminated to attract customers. Excessive lighting, coupled with bright colors, has been found to be a powerful marketing tool. The sides of canopies are the new battleground. Some stations are now even illuminating the entire sides of their buildings. The overall intent is to increase market share, to drive competitors out of business. Sheetz restaurants Sheetz is now downplaying the gasoline business and becoming a Convenience Restaurant, moving fueling stations to the side. Stores are to expand to 10,000 square feet, double their average current size. A “model” Convenience Restaurant opened June 10 in Altoona, Pa., where Sheetz is headquartered. It has restaurant seating for 62 inside and 46 outside. Sheetz would like to change its store at Opal in Fauquier County, at the intersection of routes 17 and 29, to a Convenience Restaurant seating 84 people inside, and with an eating area outside. The design of its building shows it is to be two-stories high with floor to ceiling glass windows. Night lighting should be spectacular. Sheetz stores, and there are about 300 of them, are open 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. They brought in $2.8 billion in sales in 2003. Shell stations Shell is another example. The Quarles Quicke Mart along Route 211 was a Mobil station, but became a Shell station at the beginning of the year. Shell has 22,000 stations in the U.S., and is part of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group. Shell had sales of $60 billion in 2002. These 22,000 stations are participating in a “Retail Visual Identity” program as part of Shell Oil’s worldwide effort for a common physical image. From China to the Sudan to the United States, it is costing Shell $531 million, over half a billion dollars, for the visual makeover. Shell’s new canopy lighting makes use of either an illuminated red bar encircling the canopy and lighting it up, or a red stripe with no light and only the name of Shell illuminated on the canopy. An e-mail communication to Shell’s corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas, revealed that the choice OLD DESIGN: The old canopy had no such lighting except for the name ‘Shell.’ between in illuminated red bar or the non-illuminated red stripe was governed by the local dealer, headquarters, or local lighting ordinances. There are 12 Shell stations running from Rappahannock County via Route 211, Route 29 and Route 50 to Washington, D.C. Where local lighting ordinances are in place, red stripes are in use. About two or three of them have not been converted yet and still have the “industrial gray” canopies, i.e., one in Warrenton and one in New Baltimore. The Shell station on Route 211 is a good example of the “grandfathered-in” clause of the proposed lighting ordinance. The current lighting is allowable. If the Board of Supervisors approves the ordinance, a Sheetz could not come in and easily outshine Shell - no contest. In the fall of 1999, Sheetz proposed a gas station along Route 29 south of the Tbwn of Madison in Madison County. Madison County had no lighting ordinance. Sheetz won approval “by right.” Even though citizens objected vehemently to Sheetz’ excessive lighting, and even showed alternate building designs used by Sheetz elsewhere, they lost. Contrast this with Sheetz’ position in the township of Pine, Pa., where town-centerzoned land caused Sheetz to turn the gas station around so it faced away from the road, with the 10-pump fueling area located there. The canopy was lowered to the height of the store and supported by stucco and brick piers. Lighting was toned down. A newspaper account quoted the architect and Vice-President of Facilities for Sheetz as saving, “I’ve been doing convenience stores for 15 years. Just when you think there’s nothing new out there, something like this comes along.” The significance of this example is that a corporation will accommodate local government ordinances. But such codes and ordinances must be in place before a Sheetz-kind of situation arises. In the future, Rappahannock County may see a McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, CVS, some franchised nail shops, Staples, Trader Joe, Pier I, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, TJ Maxx, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, WalMart, Costco, the list is endless. Many will welcome them as they trickle in. Best to put Rappahannock County on lowbeam, now. How schools can do more with less I thank Holly Massie for responding to my questions about 1) brick and mortar spending; 2) the decision processes for making multimiUion dollar expenditure proposals; and 3) my suggestion that the school might devote greater effort to finding ways to save resources. Since it was the last point that Mrs. Massie found insulting—that the school could possibly do more with less (or the same), let me address that question. Sadly, we five in a culture where the first response usually is to throw money at a problem, even before the problem is carefully analyzed. If your wife says, “We need a bigger refrigerator,” is your first response to say, “Yes, dear, go get a bigger one?” Or might it be, “Let’s see if we can just organize it better?” We all know that our already big refrigerators, while convenient, reduce the incentive to properly organize the contents, with the result that a lot of things “get lost,” and rot, or are purchased unnecessarily because the sour cream or pickles are hidden behind a mayonnaise jar which is behind a half gallon of milk. An investment of 10 minutes of time could save having to buy a new refrigerator and having to redesign the kitchen to accom ^ The Forum modate it. Through improved organization we are accomplishing more with the same space. Is the big high school gymnasium or band room possibly the refrigerator? Where is the analysis? Is taking kids on a three minute drive from the elementary school to the high school gym really an impossibility? Has anyone really devoted the time to carefully analyzing the scheduling possibilities? Is sharing a facility really out of the question? Why not look at it as a challenge to solve cooperatively? Obviously, I am not saying never spend money on buildings. If the roof leaks, it should be fixed. But if we had a good vocational education program, maybe the students could fix it. The fundamental “business” question is: what else could that same money do to improve the school? Doing ‘more with less’ How about my notion of doing “more with less”? It Are you feeling crowded in your home but don*t want to move? ask me aDout a Renovation Loan also Ask me about our 100% Purchase Financing Construction Ixtans Looking for lower payments? Ask me about our Interest Only Loan For more information, call Barbara Parks at v 1-800-503-5771 SiMfcusr -j.-? seems Mrs. Massie interpreted this to mean that teachers didn’t work hard enough, or lacked dedication. While that could be true in individual cases, that was not my thrust. It was about efficiency. An efficient engine is one that reduces the amount of fuel needed to do a given amount of work, through more complete combustion, reduced friction and so forth. A school is a kind of complex engine for doing work, even if the measure of that work includes many intangibles (and passing SOLS being the concrete measure). Its fuels are money and staff time. And there are all kinds of friction that reduce work efficiency and wear down the engine-broken Xerox machines, useless meetings, poor communication, duplicated efforts, fatigue, and so forth. Encourage suggestions Most businesses have suggestion boxes for employees to offer ideas about how to save money or improve the way things function. Does the School Board or Superintendent encourage custodial staff, administrators, teachers and students to make suggestions to “reduce friction” and “save fuel?” Such a move would not only show taxpayers that the school is trying hard to function frugally, but'it creates a useful, if not revolutionary, mind set among students and adults alike. Our general culture is all about spending money, not saving it. Tb consume is to be patriotic. If your wife says, “We need a bigger refrigerator,” is your first response to say, “Yes, dear, go get a bigger one?” might it be, “Let’s see if we can just organize it better?” Or Let’s talk about saving time, our only non-renewable resource. One of the greatest time wasters can be meetings. Many business managers have a rule that no meeting lasts more than an hour. Does the school have any procedures to make sure meetings are called for a good purpose, that there will be a quorum, that a certain result is expected ahead of time? Has a superintendent ever asked the whole staff what activities were the greatest wastes of time; and then looked for ways to eliminate or reduce them? This was a big problem in the previous administration and contributed to teacher exhaustion. Perhaps it has been addressed. Based on the things I have heard from various staff ranging from the bus drivers who witness great amounts of gas and heat being wasted to teachers frustrated by unnecessary Xeroxing and the attendant frequent breakdown of copying machines, I would make a vplcU, guess that the school could save over $100,000 a year. That money could then be applied to providing the training and extra staff time that will be necessary to assure that all third graders can actually read at the third grade level when r they move on. This Effective Schools benchmark was adopted in the strategic plan for next year, but achieving it requires fuel. A suggestion: Why not have a best suggestion of the month award of $100, be it time or money saving or communication improving in nature? For those that are money saving, let the tenth grade math students calculate the potential savings. There could be two award categories: money saving and “other.” The Japanese taught American managers the importance of the cumulative effect on efficiency of constant, small improvements—hitting singles every day and not worrying about the home runs. Why should schools be exempt from this healthy mentality? 1 Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

Confederate soldier honored in Rappahannock By Wayne Baldwin Special to the Rappahannock News Despite a drizzly overcast sky, some 33 friends and family members met recently to honor their forefather, John A. Pullen, a Confederate soldier, with the erection of a head stone at his grave. Those attending were Riekv, Kay and Christopher Hownshell, Diann Early, Vickie and Johnathan Miller, Charlie and Florine Baldwin, Carolyn Beahm. Sherry Jenkins, Jeff, Becky, Jeffrey, Charles and Krystal Burke. Lois C. Moore, Roger L. Clatterbuck, Wayne Phc:c courtesy tee sate Mary Eva-s Burke John A. Pullen in 1920.

Attendees who are greatgrandchildren are: Dottie Jenkins, Margaret Jenkins, Edward Fincham, Dorothy Showers Brown, Shirley Baker and Alice Beahm. Enlisted in 1862 John A. Pullen enlisted in March 1862 at Harrisonburg, Va., in Grimsley’s Infantry, known as Company B, 6th Regiment of Virginia Infantry. Pulleh was bom in Warren County on March 1, 1845, making his age upon enlistment 23. He was the son of Joseph and Narcenia Vaughan Pullen. Joseph, the father, had also enlisted in the same company at the age of 62, and was still living in 1880 at the age of 78. Joseph Pullen, Jr., also enlisted in the same company, but was killed at the Battle of Front Royal. On Jan. 16, 1868, John A. Pullen was married in Rappahannock County to Melinda Jane Cornwell, daughter of John and Nancy Shackleford Cornwell. On April 16, 1908, Pullen made application for a disability pension due to his infirmities by the hand of F. Pendleton Carter. TREMENDOUS SELECTION NOW OF SPRING & SUMMER MERCHANDISE!

Altercation In August or September 1920 an altercation occurred between John Pullen and his son-in-law at which time Pullen was seriously wounded by a gun shot. His right arm had to be amputated. He died on Oct. 15, 1920 while at his daughter’s home in Culpeper County. J. W. Humphrey was the attending physician. The undertakers were Thompson & Reager of Culpeper and burial was near Rixeyville. However, two weeks after his death, his remains were taken up and reburied at the family cemetery on Pickerel Ridge in Rappahannock County. This was done by his son John J. Pullen and grandsons, Silas and Luther Atkins, the latter telling this writer in person in the 1970s. Application was made on Feb. 24, 2004 to Memorial Programs Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Ave., NW., Washington, D. C. for a government issued headstone for John A. Pullen’s grave. For about 60 years the only marker was a plain fieldstone. In the mid- 1970s Wayne Baldwin had made a rough cement marker in which was etched the name and dates. The beautiful marble marker was received on April 20 of this year. After the marble stone was erected on Memorial Day, a few words were said to memorialize the day. Refreshments were prepared and provided by David Albee and David Roberts and were served at Thornton Gap church.

Level IV winners were tenth graders Becky Leser, James Nilan and Briana Stone. The winners at Level V were twelfth graders Robin Oyster and Lindsay West, and eleventh grader Paul Beattie, who scored in the 84 percentile. Sheriff From Page A1 The gesture came alter the supervisors had paged through several line items in the fiscal 2005 Budget, asking questions, and continuing on, until they reached “Public Safety.” Sheriff Sherertz had asked the board at its last meeting for a salary supplement for his deputies of $6,146, plus Law Enforcement Office Retirement Supplemental (LEOS) to bring Rappahannock in line with sheriffs’ departments in neighboring counties. The LEOS would serve to provide 76 percent of a deputy’s salary during retirement after 25 years of service. Standing in starched uniform, Sherertz said, “I just want to thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. The (salary) supplement I asked for is very, very important.... “I’d like for the board to consider as much as they can give.” As much as $4,000, he said, “would be an excellent show of support.” The mood in the room seemed to change when the sheriff gave up his supplement. Indeed, the supplemental for the sheriff had stuck in the craw of some of the supervisors who felt that the sheriff had chosen his job and signed on for four years as a Commonwealth Officer. “This was a very good gesture that backed up his previous comments that he was asking for the supplement to support his deputies,” said County Administrator John McCarthy. “The board, I think, recognized the gesture as important.” A brief debate followed.

(2) have a mailing address and live in the area in which subscription is 1 made Sometimes we have to think outside the box if we are going to save money in the long run. Supervisor Ron Frazier Jackson District ( Stonewall-Hawthorne District), “If we can’t keep deputies here in the county and salary is the problem, I think we can give a little.” Said Jackson District Frazier, “On an individual basis, it’s not a lot of money. Sometimes we have to think outside the box if we are going to save money in the long run. It’s nice to have deputies you can count on.” Frazier moved to give the deputies a supplement of $4,000 per employee, and Bryant Lee (Hampton District) seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 3-1, with Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes voting against it. “I can’t support this,” said Estes, who said he felt the supplemental was not justified in light of expenses for LEOS and a raise at the end of the year. In addition, he said he felt that deputies weren’t all leaving the county simply because of low salaries. LEOS were voted in unanimously by the board members, who believed that LEOS were not so much of a benefit for the deputies but a necessity to keep them employed. Said McCarthy, “All of our neighbors offer LEOS, except Clarke County. The sheriff showed it was a cost of doing business.” After the meeting, Sherertz was almost jubilant. He told supervisor Lee in the hallway, “God bless you.” Outside the courthouse, he said, “I am thrilled and grateful to the board for funding the retirement benefit and the salary supplement. This gives me a tool to stop the revolving door on hiring and retaining deputies.” As a further and last measure at the meeting, the board approved the fiscal 2005 county budget of $16,990,877, which is up from $15,759,950 in fiscal 2004. That also includes the school budget of $6,469,567. And while the 2005 budget represents a jump in total terms, it reflects non-recurring costs, like the money set aside to purchase land next to the courthouse and other expenses totalling nearly $500,000. “If you take out the one-time spending items,” said McCarthy, “it’s a standard increase.” Tkou.dtf«L U* everythin# dod Northern l//tf'h/a ••• Pickup Your FREE Copy Today.

"I decided it was a no brainer.” Stnttmatter thus became the swing vote that resulted in the approval of the resolution to recommend the1 ordinance to the county supervisors, by a tally of 4-3. Rappahannock has a serious representative in Strittmatter. who studied the lighting issues and appealed to County Administrator John McCarthy for information with which to inform his vote, including the minutes of the Planning Commission ever since a lighting ordinance was first brought to its attention three and a half years ago. Those on the commission who voted against the ordinance— Ronald Frazier, Raymond Brown and Alvin Henry, Jr., all of Amissvillfs— did so with what seemed like an equal amount of philosophical deliberation. What bothered them the most, Frazier said, had less to do with lighting. They st>emed more concerned overall by what the ordinance symbolized—excessive government „ intrusion—than what its practical effects might be. They were worried about the “camel's nose under the tent” effect, according to Frazier. “Will this be just another ordinance that will be sitting on a table that will not be enforced or selectively enforced9” Frazier asked himself, before answering with a vote against the ordinance. He also believed that the people he represents in Jackson District “are not happy with the regulation.” The Wednesday night meeting w as attended bv nearly 20 members of the public, and all but one spoke in favor See LIGHTING, Page A8 lOa^fiington IDa/ifect WASHINGTON, VA • PAELLA is a traditional Spanish dish with Chicken, Shrimp, Mussells, Artichokes, Saffron Rice and more. • Entree...*/4.95 each • SUNNYSIDE SALAD... *3.50 each • LEMON FLAN ...*3.95 each Ask for Meredith for assistance choosing an exceptional wine to complement this delicious meal at your dinner table.

Tennis clinics forming in Rappahannock Local tennis professional Hunt Harris is helping to coordinate and conduct instructional tennis clinics and regular playing groups on beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of play this summer at the Rappahannock County Park facility. Clinics will be for two days a week, possibly a morning and evening session, possibly a weekday and weekend session, depending upon interest and availability. Each session would last an hour and would cost $10 per person for juniors and $15 per person for adults. A slight discount will be given for signing up for a full four week session. Drop-ins will be welcome in most cases, as long as sufficient practice is being demonstrated between sessions. Clinics will run in two four-week sessions, with the first session beginning the week of June 28, and the second session beginning the week of July 26. Rain dates will be made up to the best possible ability depending upon court and instructor availability. There will be several sign-up dates and hitting sessions at the county park to determine what level a player might be in case there is any uncertainty about categorization, and to network contacts who wish to find hitting/playing partners and figure out the best days and times for the clinics. These pre-clinic sessions will be: Sunday, June 13 from 5-6 p.m., Wednesday, June 16, from 6-7 p.m. and Saturday, June 19 from 3-5 p.m. Additional hitting or sign-up sessions will take place the week of June 21 if necessary or requested.

Lighting From Page A 7 of the ordinance. Their arguments had been heard before. The supporters of the light ordinance, naturally, were pleased by the outcome. “I’d have liked for the vote to be unanimous,” said Gwen Hayes, who has been a constant force in support of the ordi-, nance from the start. “But I’m pleased. The ordinance is going forward, and that’s what we want.” And Sarah Gannon of the Piedmont Environmental Council said, “We were very much for it, and it is definitely a positive advance.” “It was important to take a vote and get a resolution,” said McCarthy. “The feeling was, ‘Let’s get on with it and get a yay or nay with the supervisors.’ It’s time to take action and move on.” The county supervisors will make their decision at their Aug. 2 meeting. Inspiring Tfoiugfit& by Randy Minter FINAL CONSIDERATIONS At least one national survey indicates that patients facing their last days of life are most concerned about being free of pain. Interestingly enough, this physical consideration aside, terminal patients placed “ being at peace with God” during their final days nearly as high on their priority list. Obviously, then, spiritual and emotional issues are on an equal footing with medical care in the minds of many patients. Aside from freedom from pain, those surveyed agreed on a number of other issues, including clear communications about treatment choices, spending time with family, being treated as a whole person, and having a sense of closure or completion as life draws to an end. These considerations hold meaning for everyone concerned. When a loved one dies after a long illness, relief is a common feeling as well as guilt for having that relief. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, We all wish for our loved ones to be pain-free and to minimize their suffering. Finding the right support is key. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries. “The bitterest tears shed aver graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone."

Rappahannock News Staff Photo Mary Ann Kuhn Fire From Page A1 What Settle learned when she opened her bedroom door to a smoky hallway was that the heat from the fire was blasting out the windows of the house. “I opened the door and heard glass breaking out of the windows,” she said. “I went in and woke Miranda up and helped her out. I tried to go back in to get the dogs and cats. They were her children.” The fire not only prevented Settle from going back in, but also firefighters who tried to save all of Plotnick’s pets. One of Plotnick’s two dogs was saved; the other died from smoke inhalation. One of her cats also died; the other is missing. Fire chief Ann Spieker said she did not hear any smoke detectors going off when she arrived on the scene but saw one on the ground without a battery. At some point after she moved in, “the renter had taken hers down because it had been beeping and needed a new battery,” said Spieker. Dispatcher Sheila M. Scott at the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office took the call when it came into the dispatch center at 5:59 a.m. The Washington Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company was on the road by 6:06 a.m. and first on the scene four minutes later at 6:10 a.m. Ultimately, there were 10 fire equipment vehicles at the scene and one ambulance. “It was labor intensive for a smaller crew than normal,” said Spieker, a smudge of ashes on her nose, surveying the damage at Plotnick’s home. “Half of the firefighters in the county went to the graduation.” Spieker stayed at Plotnick’s house until 5 p.m. Saturday, constantly checking to be sure the fire didn’t rekindle. * Cause of fire Fire chief Spieker said she suspects an electrical surge triggered the fire. “The neighborhood lost power at 2:30 a.m. and it came back on later,” she said. “Maybe a power surge arched—it could have triggered a spark.” From her investigation, the fire started on the porch and went into the attic which was filled with furniture and magazines, said Spieker. “The porch and the kitchen areas were the most burned.” Aftermath Members of the community and friends spent Sunday helping Plotnick salvage what she could from the fire and boxing up her belongings. “It was impressive to see how people came together on Father’s Day to help,” said her friend, June Jordan. While insurance investigators are determining the monetary extent of the damage, Miranda Plotnick is trying to get on with her life. For now, Plotnick, who is a familiar face where she works at Cinema Paradiso Movje Rentals in town, needs a home with easy access, said Jordan. Plotnick walks with a cane and it is difficult to manage distances from her car. Members of the community who want to help may send contributions to The Packing Shed Comer, P.O. Box 28, Washington, VA 22747. Checks may be made payable to Patricia Plotnick, according to Jordan. Meanwhile, Washington fire officials are seeking to have demonstrations provided to all county firefighters showing how to properly turn off valves to fire hydrants. “We want to bring it home,” said Mayor Leggett. “We saved the pipe with the 12 to 14 foot gash. Well be using it as a demonstration for the firemen.” N-1 * FREE INSPECTION rroieci your nome.

Photo by Richard Lykes By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Ki Theatre’s “Song and Sushi” gala benefit on June 12 was an extraordinary success, both for the pleasure of party goers and as a fundraiser for the community programs of Rappahannock County’s active little theatre. Some 30 guests attended the exquisitely prepared dinner of, sushi and grilled tuna. Another 20 came for dessert to hear legendary folksong writer and singer Tom Paxton in a private concert at “Patria,” the home of Fran Moore Krebser near Flint Hill. Composer-songwriter and creator of “Kid Pan Alley,” Paul Reisler, accompanied Tom Paxton. A surprise guest performer, Ysaye Barnwell, of the nationally known a cappella group, “Honey in the Rock” also entertained guests with both song and sing-a-long. When all expenses are tallied, the event will have raised nearly $13,000 to help Ki Theatre put on its various programs for its 2004-2005 season. A gala evening, of course, doesn’t just happen as many in Rappahannock County’s volunteer not-forprofit organizations well know. What goes into the details of planning and apt.ii all v hrincrincr ahmit such an event is mind-boggling and lots of hard work. Hardie Newton, well known author, gardener, and flower artist from Madison County planned beautiful fresh flower arrangements, and then put them together magically at the last minute. In addition to the star performers, the gala counted on the hard work of a large cast of volunteers. In the kitchen, chefs Paul Reisler, David Blackwell, Peter Kreyling, Jonathan Partin and Linda Partin worked long hours to create the special menu for the gala. On the volunteer wait staff were Richard Brown, Sallie Morgan, Ray Boc, Jo Linn Cash, Maureen Blackwell and Roger Klinger. The benefit’s organizing committee that developed the theme and logistics for the affair included Barbara Adolfi, Fran Krebser, Julie Portman, Cindy Wayland, Betsy Dagliesh, Lucile Miller, Bette and Mike Mahoney, Joyce Abell, Buddy Darden and Richard Lykes. Lucile Miller and Bruce Westfall made the cherry sushi dishes for the event and Jeanne Drevas supplied the wood and bark sculpture as decoration.

WoodviUe couple photographs, writes new book Franklin and Esther Schmidt of Woodville have written and photographed a hew book, “Cabin Kitchens and Baths.” The coffee table style book offers images and ideas on the design and remodel of cabin kitchens and bathrooms but applies to any style architecture. From architecture to art, the Schmidts cover every aspect of kitchen and bathroom architecture, design and decor. The Schmidts, residents of Rappahannock County for 30 years, are a photography, styling and writing team who are regular contributors to most of the major architectural and interior design magazines. “We are delighted with the response the book is receiving,” says Franklin Schmidt. “We have heard from readers all over the country saying how helpful the book has been for them and the reviews are making our publisher very happy. Publisher’s Weekly says in its June 14 review, "... . readers will find ideas for design themes ranging from Old West to English Cottage to Adirondack to Country Americana. Casual, non-specialist language and colorful pages make this how-to book accessible and inviting.” See BOOK, Page B2 L J Don’t miss Amissville’s carnival, parade By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News The excitement is building.

Some 110 units will march through Amissville: drum corps, local businesses, the Kena Temple guys in their miniature Corvettes, the bands, the citizens’ and church groups, and the nominees for Little Miss and Queen. The carnival is on from 7 o’clock See CARNIVAL, Page B2 Parade-watching tips • The best place to view the enormous parade of the Amissville Fire and Rescue Company is right in front of the fire station on Route 211. There are lots of good spots on either side of the westbound lanes of 211 between Hackley’s Store and the fire station. Many folks set up early. Those westbound lanes will be closed at 6 p.m. for the 7 p.m. parade. What to bring? A chair. A camera or two. Something cold to drink. (Save your appetite for the Bubba Burgers and all the other good things to eat at the carnival.) An umbrella. The parade and carnival go ahead rain or shine. Where to park? The parking is free, along the road, and on the grounds of the fire station. / / Photo courtesy/Jed Duvall AUCTION ITEM: Amissville volunteer firefighter Carl Lovern stands at the door of a 1996 Jayco “Jay Series” pop-up camper that will be sold in a Silent Auction at the Amissville carnival on the grounds of the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company.

Book From Page B1 “Cabin Kitchens and Baths,” according to Log Homes Illustrated Magazine’s review, “could stand alone as a picture book. . . it goes even further, serving as an innovative idea book as the Schmidts add twists to traditional kitchen and bathroom design with creative suggestions.” Old House Interiors Magazine, in its May review, states . . the authors brought their good taste (undoubtedly honed by their knowledge of period styles) to their choices and to styling and photography. You’ll find inspiration for summer houses, country and colonial-inspired kitchens and baths.” Incorporated in the book is advice from respected professionals, one of whom is Claudia Mitchell, a Washington lighting consultant. The book is available in bookstores throughout the U.S., on Amazon and Barnes & Noble web sites and is stocked locally at Sunnyside in Sperryville and The Corner Bookshelf in Culpeper. There will be a book signing and celebration at the Sperryville Sunnyside Market in July. Two more books by the Schmidts are due out later this year; one is a companion book to a Bob Villa television show and the other will cover late 19th century home style and design. The book, 176 pages, is published by Gibbs Smith Publishers of Layton, Utah. Carnival From Page B1 to midnight each night through Saturday with an impressive lineup of games, including bingo and the dunking booth.

S. 211, West Sperryville, VA (540) 987-8235 This title to a popular song shares more than a romantic sentiment Leo Tolstoy, In a letter to his son, wrote, “The goal of our life should not be to find joy in marriage, but to bring more love and truth into the world. We marry to assist each other in this task. The highest calling is that of the man who has dedicated his life to serving God and doing good, and who ! unites with a woman In of der to further that purpose.” Of course, Mr. Tolstoy did not mean we should not be happy with our mate. Happiness finds a couple when they unite as one spirit in God's service. In the marriage vows themselves, we hear “...and the two shall be as one.” Had God felt that Adam could have accomplished his mission on earth alone, He would not have given him Eve as a helpmate. The Creator chose to unite the two. ‘It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helper fit for him.” (Genesis 2:18) In this month of happy unions, may you remember that God makes a good marriage great Worship together and stay together. May God Bless!

What makes up a car dealership? They all have cars, so it must be the people that sets them apart. When you go car shopping, what are you looking for in the car buying experience? What would you like opposed to what do | you expect? How do you want to be treatI ed? Well, there is a place that makes car buying a pleasure. Saturn of Fredericksburg, a member of the Radley Auto Group, has been open for 13 years now. The staff averages about 16 years of experience, from the salespeople to the technicians, taking care of their customers. Karen Radley is the past Chairman of the Virginia Automobile Dealer Board and currently serves on the Board of Directors for that organization. While talking to Mark Cowdin, the General Sales Manager, he remarked that, “if the customer’s expectations are low, it’s easy to exceed their expectations. Everybody here is out to WOW the customer.” Mark went on to point out that Saturn of Fredericksburg enjoys one of the highest Customer Satisfaction ratings in the industry and it has an impact op everyone. The customers are obviously happy, but the staff is a lot more relaxed. Everywhere you look you’ll see people smiling. Mark was quick to mention the uniqueness of the sales staff. They are very knowledgeable and are all NADA certified. Cross-trained in more than just sales, they are able to do more for the customer thus shortening the, sometimes lengthy, process of car buying. Everyone is dedicated to Customer Satisfaction and to having FUN. Something else, they are genuinely nice people and their customers reward them with plenty of repeat business and referrals. The Dealership routinely outsells many of their competitors located in Northern Virginia. Another unique feature is that Saturn of Fredericksburg gives a car away one Saturday a month! This is a FREE, fully inspected used car for somebody! The lucky recipient has to pay for all government fees and taxes, dealer processing fee, any emission testing charges and must have a valid Virginia driver’s license. You have to be present to win and the odds of winning are dependent on the number of entrants. The whole Dealership looks forward to the giveaway as emotions run high. There are smiles all around and even a tear or two, of joy of course. There is a festive mood as time for the 3:00pm drawing nears. The dealership stocks plenty of new cars and 80 to 100 used, hand picked by Mark. Every week he has a shopping list of vehicles to look for. So, if you don t see exactly what you want, be sure and put in your order with him. All of the used cars get a 120 point inspection, oil and filter change and a Virginia Safety Inspection. There are plenty of financing options available for new and used vehicles as well as leasing options on new ones. According to J.D. Powers, an automobile survey group, 70% of all car buyers purchased from a salesperson they liked. So, put on a smile and prepare to meet people you’ll like and have FUN car shopping. After all, it’s supposed to be FUN! Saturn of Fredericksburg is located at 3421 Jefferson Davis Hwy. in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

While staying at the lovely Conyers House bed and breakfast, she talked with owner Sandra Cartwright Brown regarding her furniture" collection which she had inherited and was storing in severed different states. Sandra directed her to Alex Sharp, owner of Sperryville Cold Storage and within months, Cole had moved in to refurbish the existing business and bring her own style of antiques and home furnishings to Sperryville. The Cooper Fox had been owned by Rick Wasmund and had more of a flea market, tag sale style. Through her buying at auctions, estate sales, yard sales and taking consignments, Cole has transformed this large space into a wonderful, affordable, fun space where there is literally furniture and home furnishings for every taste and pocket book. She credits the support of people like Arthur and Peggy Smith who own the Sperryville Antique and Design Centre for providing support, customers and encouragement. Additionally, many of the local inns and B&Bs send customers. You can Sperryville Jenny Millan 987-9313 | Mlenmill@aol.com find Copper Fox Antiques at 7 River Lane.

Viewtown Store history We would like to share some local history about the day-to-day operations of the old Viewtown Store. In our research, we were able to examr VlEWTOWN Linda Hitt ,937-4221 m ayaift— ine the day ledger for the store, showing transactions from late 1918 to early 1920. Here is a sampling of purchases: On Dec. 13, 1918, nine pounds of smooth wire were purchased in the name of Wade Massie. The same day, C.E. Carter bought gloves, socks, and a belt for $5. On Jan. 10, 1919, A.E. Curtis delivered a load of wood, to credit his account for $2.50. On March 10, 1919, Clarence Smith bought a pound of coffee for 30 cents and six lemons for 25 cents. These are but a few samples of the variety of merchandise the store carried. The store was a major operation at the time. Additional items it carried included kerosene lamps, blankets, oil cloth, hardware, curtains, harness, not to mention a full range of food stuffs. A few months ago, my husband Danny, examined an unusual treadle sewing machine * made in Vermont. He found out from the owner, that the machine was originally bought at the Viewtown Store. As we stop at a convenience store or go to a super market, we should take a minute to reflect on how storekeeping has changed.
