MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer A tombstone started this story. The tombstone—the term for formal notices, like financial and public offerings that appear in newspapers by legal decree—appeared in last week’s Rappahannock News: TRUSTEE SALE: 432 Castleton Ford Rd.

Seeing it sitting empty and in disrepair, no longer an active congregation, inspired Nancy Weakley Presgraves to put out a call for a meeting to explore ways to save it. Last Sunday, a group of former church members, neighborhood residents and interested citizens gathered to tour the old church and begin the planning process that will hopeMeetings & Notices • On Wednesday, July 21 the Rappahannock County Planning Commission will meet at 7:J0 p.m. at the county courthouse on Gay Street.

But to Rappahannock County Supervisor Ron Frazier fJackson District), it was far more than that. Frazier has known one of the owners of the house, Nancy Robinson, for 20 years, he says. He read the Legal Notice in the News and he thought, “This is terrible.” Robinson was raised in Rappahannock County.

Presgraves grew up in Jenkins Hollow and remembers attending church there as a young child. Her mother, Martha Weakley had commented to her daughter in recent years about the need to preserve the old church. Many of the 35 people attending Sunday’s meeting had fond memories of worshipping, attending revivals, enjoying outdoor picnics with Martha Weakley’s wonderful food, and listening to Nina Sisk’s beautiful playing of the old organ, still inside the building. There was a magical feeling in the air Sunday afternoon, some might say “God’s work” happening to See CHURCH, Page A2 force of calamity in the form of illness.

First it was Jake Robinson, 50, who went in for quadruple bypass heart surgery in March 2003 and was out of work for four months. He had to quit his job. The couple fell behind ui their property taxes for 2002-2003, and their mortgage has what Frazier describes as “a killer interest.” They were on a slippery slope and sliding backward. “We are struggling to keep our heads above water,” said Nancy, 47, “and we’re not succeeding right now.” Tb gain ground and buy a little time, the couple secured a home equity See FORECLOSE, Page A2 Protecting our land An easement granted by George H. Scott and recorded on June 30 brings the total Rappahannock County landscape protected by voluntary donation of conservation easements to 16,281 acres - or 12 percent of private land in the county. Scott’s easement merges two previous tax parcels into one of 35.9 acres that may never be redivided. Fronting on both the Thornton River (which qualifies for consideration as a state scenic river) and Route 620 near Five Forks, the Scott easement is closely adjacent to the Red Oak Mountain easement cluster. Deputies seek salary increase By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer At the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors’ monthly meeting last Wednesday at the courthouse, Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes, looking a bit besieged, leaned back on the legs of his chair and asked, “When do you draw the line?” He wasn’t asking about architecture. Facing him were representatives— deputies (all women)—of Constitutional Officers in Rappahannock County, seven in total, who were asking for nothing more than “the honorable thing” from the Board of Supervisors, which sets the levels of part of their salaries. In answer to Estes’ question, nobody was impolite enough to answer, “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” But in short, “where this ends,” if the women have their way, will be supplemental raises of at least $4,000, the Six of the seven women who have asked for a supplemental raise represent a total of 87 years of service to the county. Three women have served for over 20 years and one for 15 years. same that the deputies of another Constitutional Officer, the Sheriff, received from the supervisors at their meeting in June.

Chefs to kings and queens to be honored at The Inn By Rachel Hayden Special to the Rappahannock News What do the chefs to the King of Spain, Queen of England, King of Thailand and the President of the United States all have in common besides demanding employers? Membership to the exclusive club called, The Club des Chefs des Chefs. And what does this club do when they get together on their one day off a year? Travel and eat, of course. This month, the personal chefs to heads of state from 25 different nations will gather in the United States to celebrate American cuisine. The organization called The Club des Chefs des Chefs, founded in 1977, will spend Sunday in the Virginia countryside and dine at The Inn at Little Washington on July 25. Chef Patrick O’Connell will create a dinner in their honor featuring regional products and American wines. Prior to the dinner, O’Connell, who has authored a soon to be released new cookbook titled “Refined American Cuisine," will speak to the group about the coming of age of American cooking.

Church From Page Al" support the group. A lar.e tour bus had been parked in the lot in front of the church, waiting for a group of hikers out visiting from Washington, DC. The bus driver, a Rev. William Foy, offered to say an opening prayer for the meeting. Rev. Wayne Thompson of Madison who used to preach at the church, had planned to make the opening prayer. Because of advanced age and an illness, he was unable to attend. During the meeting, another miracle of sorts happened. The long missing church book, a record of deaths, marriages, baptisms and other events, was presented to Presgraves by Geraldine Payne, next door neighbor of the church. She had received the book from Nina Sisk, a distant cousin, while caring for Nina in her old age. Because the church had been inactive at the time of Nina Sisk’s death, she was most concerned that it be held in safe keeping. One of the original church members, defined as someone who was baptized at the church, took it in hopes that it could be used to try and contact any other living original members. As the tour bus pulled away, one hiker thrust a $5 bill into the hands of a participant with the instruction to, “Use this to save the church.” Adjoining property owners have been contacted to see if anyone lays a claim to owning the property. The church, established in October 1865, was built on donated land. The last official services were held there in the mid 1960s, although there were summer revivals Photo by George Sims STRATEGY: Some 35 persons gathered last Sunday at the Piedmont Baptist Church to come up with a plan to save the church, built in 1865, which is empty and in disrepair. held in the mid 1980s. Built with wood milled and hauled 'off Hazel Mountain, the building is a simple one room structure, still furnished with old pews, an organ and a wood stove. Because of damage to the roof, the interior has started to deteriorate. The foundation, built on piles of field stones is slipping and the walls are starting to bow outward. There is a sense of urgency that some temporary repairs be made as a stop gap measure before full restoration can start in earnest. Most attendees at Sunday’s meeting were in agreement that the church be restored and resume operation as a congregation. One interested private party would like to use the building for a studio, with a modest living section. However, the plan at this point is to proceed with the restoration as a church. Several working groups were formed.

They have received pins for service and loyalty, but gentlemen... loyalty goes both ways.” What sticks in their craw— and got the attention of the supervisors—is that any new employee in their same ranks would make more than the veterans do in the same job, because of the introductory salary levels that are set by the state of Virginia, which pays part of the Constitutional Officers’ deputies’ salaries, and lets the individual counties supplement the salaries, depending on variables like cost of living and county population. Rappahannock’s deputies are in a particularly awkward position because of the county’s small population and its comparatively higher cost of living. It ranks in terms of state compensation for these deputies at the lowest level, along with 15 other counties in this same category. “We live in a nicer place, so we give up some salary for that,” said Murray. In a written statement sent to the supervisors prior to the meeting, the Group of Six said, “But some of us have been with Rappahannock County for over 20 years and new employees starting salaries are already larger than our current compensation, and with this additional supplement (going to the Sheriff’s deputies), this is truly degrading (to us) and unfair.” The Sheriff had sold the supplemental raise to the supervisors primarily with the argument that his deputies were training at the expense of Rappahannock’s taxpayers, then leaving the county for higher paying jobs in neighboring counties. However, the same loss of other deputies, like the women making the request for a supplemental, has not occurred, and therefore, the same inducement to the board does not apply, because of these deputies’ loyalty and permanence. The supervisors indicated that they would address this issue, which they had expected to be raised, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, at a later date. It was anticipated, according to some supervisors, tossing ideas around, that they would contemplate a range of redress, hum granting the $4,000 requested to formulating a schedule to compensate the women according to their longevities in office. PUBLIC HEARING AN ORDINANCE REGULATING OUTDOOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING in COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing on proposed language relating to regulation of outdoor artificial lighting in Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts, as amendments to the Zoning Chapter of the Rappahannock County Code, on Monday, August 2, at 7:00 PM at the Courthouse in Washington, VA.

TimesCommunity. com Supervisors mulling over ‘staggered terms’ By Mai/'olm C. MacPherson Rappahannix-k News Staff Writer Rappahannock County’s supervisors looked sprightly and wry but their conversation at one juncture turned to an interesting issue that someone could have mistaken as staying power, if not mortality itself. At the board’s monthly meeting last week, the supervisors were talking about “staggered terms of members of the governing body," according to County Administrator, John McCarthy, who brought it up, not so much out of the blue, he said, but because nearly four years remain before another election, plenty of time to deal with and introduce staggered terms if that decision is made. McCarthy pointed out that “vast turnover is a problem as is,” reminding the supervisors that the “first year you sit and learn, the second year you start to talk, and the third year you participate.” On this calculation, with all the five supervisors gone at once, McCarthy said, "It would be dangerous to have bureaucrats be in charge, if all five of you go out The change to a staggered election of the supervisors would require either a referendum of the people of Rappahannock or an ordinance from the supervisors, after a public hearing “I am asking for your consideration on this.” McCarthy told them. ”1 think (staggered terms > would be better for everyone,” said Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes 'Piedmont District), and the other four supervisors seemed to agree. The question of staggering terms was made more immediate by the mere men tion of the recent history in Loudoun County. Its board has whipsawed, leaving the county bereft of experienced governing members of their board, from the sweep in one election (to throw out the bums of Growth) to a sweep in the next election (to throw out the bums of No Growth). As well, in neighboring Page County, a whole new Board of Supervisors that entered office on Jan. 1 has had to conduct a majority ol its meetings in closed sessions to hide the supervisors ignorance from the voters.' according to McCarthy, w-hc certainly does not want the same to happen in Rappahannock. Staggered terms would obviate this happening in Rappahannock. And the supervisors seemed to agree that this issue should be raised again and initiated in the fall. Financial Problems?

By the time their three-day orgy ended, many bikers had been arrested for public drunkenness and indecent exposure, some deputies had been locked into their own jail, and quite a few businesses had been trashed. And a movie idea was bom. Nothing like that is possible nowadays, certainly not here. Hollister was a tumbleweed town barely with a single telephone and police who could neither cope nor reach reinforcements. But, even still, in small, persistent ways, Hollister seems to be happening in slow motion in Rappahannock —the blasts of motorcycles’ engine noise, the bursts of acceleration over short stretches of road, the hostile gear, wrecks, grisly deaths on the Thornton Gap “race track,” and the need for beefed up State Police enforcement and road checks, lowered speed limits, and No Parking signs where none existed before. These visitors on two wheels surely don’tintend to terrorize anybody, but whatever their intentions, they have succeeded in off putting, if not thoroughly disgusting, many of Rappahannock’s residents. The bikers read about Route 211 in nearly every motorcycle “weekend” touring guide, both on and off the web. The road is touted for its bucolic scenery, village life, sweet grassy aromas, and to finish it all off, a twisting, exhilarating roll up and down the Gap. What could be better? For one thing, going away could be, and not coming back until these two-wheeler afficionados have graduated to station wagons. But barring that, what would also be nice would be a genuine respect for what the people of Rappahannock value so highly— the serenity of the place, which includes the same pace that Hollister once enjoyed. These visitors could take upon themselves to follow the laws and slip into harmony with Rappahannock, without having state troopers lining the twisting road up the Gap. They could obey the speed limits and appreciate that not everybody within sight and sound admires the throaty gusts from their tail pipes as much as they do. Will this ever happen? Probably not until pigs fly. .. gucoix ^€A0Ty~tttC. se^&lE iwwe sry*F«ww® j 6H£LL Of &WIN6 HI6KCC1Wtfod ^APPAHANM^Uf-uJC IX THOMS* 6k? Letters Cell Towers: a clarification The front-page article appearing in the July 8 issue of the Rappahannock News, entitled “First cell tower going up,” stated that the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) led the fight against the cell towers. I wish to clarify for the record that RLEP’s opposition was not directed against the construction of cell towers per se but against the building of needlessly tall and intrusive structures that would have despoiled Rappahannock County’s spectacularly beautiful landscape. Thanks to the opposition of RLEP and other civic groups and concerned citizens, Sprint was ultimately persuaded to modify its origi nally submitted design for the towers, most of which will now be camouflaged to blend in with our rural landscape. Emery Lazar Secretary, RLEP A reader s views on the anti-gay marriage obsession How sad it must be for heterosexual married people to feel that their unions are so shaky that the notion of gay marriage undermines their own. These insecure people seem to worry that if gay people have the same rights as straight people, we might actually all be equal — quite a radical concept. Somehow my own 34-year marriage doesn’t feel even slightly endangered at the idea that my gay friends could also be married. Maybe the antigay marriage obsession is based on the premise that if heterosexual couples can be legally married and gay couples can be legally married, this could make everyone gay. For those who insist that the majority of Americans oppose gay marriage, consider that at one time the majority of Americans also supported slavery and most of ancient Europe believed the world was flat. There are those who rant against “activist judges” who they feel create legislation by upholding the legality of gay marriage. Were those same judges to rule in an anti-gay manner, this crowd would voice no diatribes against them. It would seem equal rights belong only to people who are lock stepping to ultraconservative views. Esther G. Schmidt' Woodville : Looking for the owner of a ‘cute dog’ I?d like to get the word out about a foundling dog. Our family knows someone is looking for this absolutely “too cute” for words and definitely housebroken and animal socialized wispy ball of joy. We named him “Otter” because he otter not have been running the roads on the night of the fourth of July, when picked up by passersby on Route 211 in Sperryville, right near Jenkins’ auction house. These decent people took “Otter” (he even looks like a long-eared otter) to the home of a dear lady who offered a dry place to stay and companionship before fostering his sweetness to us. We know he has a home. He is perfectly mannered with man and beast of all sorts. He has no fleas. My friend Sandra Anderson said he’d make a good “Got Milk” commercial because he has a little milk ring around his mouth. Those are old age hairs. Someone’s loved him like no “otter.” Please, only call me if you are the dog owner because everyone wants this dog the second they see it. The dog has already three very good homes. There “otter” be more dogs like this one. I’m thinking the dog may have been running in terror from the west end of Sperryville. If anyone is suffering a broken heart over the loss of a perfect dog, please call me. My numbers is in the book. This dog is not available for adoption, he just “Otter” go home. M.B. Shankle Sperryville Thanking supporters of Amissville’s carnival, parade i All of us at the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many, many people of the wider community who offered their support at our carnival and parade last month. Because of the contributions of so many folks, the fire and rescue company has enjoyed its best year ever in raising funds at these traditional events. We offer special thanks to Esther Settle, Katherine Corbin and Helen Dixon for their donations to support the fire company. Those women were among the big winners of our carnival raffle: Esther Settle—$1,500 Lisa Morrison—$250 Katherine Corbin—$150 Helen Dixon—$100 We note with pleasure the contribution of Landon Walker, who handled the very large volume of trash that was generated. And we thank John Early for providing the table used by the parade judges. Perhaps most important, we extend our thanks to the many people, young and old, who kept the food and game booths running. We of the fire company salute all those in the community who joined in supporting the work of the volunteers.

Opinion Joy Lorien responds to letter to the editor My words will be few for once. Am in a deep process here. Have been dealing with this since I received a long scathing letter from Philip Rosemond on July 4. Wanted to clear up two statements Mr. Rosemond made in the July 8 edition of the Rappahannock News. Being middle-aged at this time of my life is so good and rewarding and have only spoke of the pain of divorce in a passing sentence but never wrote a story on it. Don’t quite know where he got that from and if I did say it let me make it clear that I love being middle-aged yet age is so relative, is it not. He also took the word narcissism in the article, “The Joys of Lorien,” and used it out of context. There are times when sit uations in my life seem to eclipse the presence of the all divine source of life until nature does this special dance and the presence of God moves me beyond all else. Sometimes there will come a moment when a predatory voice will say, “Yea sure nature and the divine dancing for you how narcissistic”...but then words come from songs and poems and psalms and verses and my heart opens like a flower does to the fluttering of a hummingbird’s wings and realize we are all dancing together in tune. This is my vision and to this I am nature’s handmaiden in service to it and not to the art form of writing skills...yet thus said I do not want to dress such a vision in rags, so to speak, so feel inspired to learn and am reading a book ‘Artistic criticism should not attack the artist’ Philip Rosemond, shame on you! As a professional artist yourself, you should be keenly aware that artistic criticism should not attack the artist, but rather to con( structively suggest to the artist improvements for plying their art. As I read your scathing diatribe against Joy Lorien, I realized that professional critics do not write in ‘Winning a prize is not what counts’ As the mother of an adolescent who spends every free moment meandering the mountains, streams and byways of our county and the granddaughter of a splendid and selfpublished poet, I resent the laper’s recent profile of Joy mien. I’ve been enjoying the paper’s profiles featuring folks from the county with varied backgrounds and interests. They all seem to share the distinction that they are longtime, active participants and contributors to the well being of this county. Joy Lorien has most certainly earned a place in this group. So, Mr. Rosemond doesn’t like Joy Lorien’s writing— what’s with the vicious attack? Don’t read it. Furthermore, he only wants to hear about folks who are prize winners and have “mastered” their skills. Wow, that’s going to eliminate an awful lot of non-prizewinning but fascinating people. And, who gets to judge whether those skills have been mastered or not? I come from a background of artists, musicians and writers, and let me assure that win ning a prize is not what counts. What counts is the work they create—the amateur, the masters, the prize winners, the stuff I can’t stand, and the stuff that nobody likes but me! I’ll take the meanderings of an adolescent over those of a Eompous, mean-spirited, belgerent, small minded “mature” Philip Rosemond any day. Even my 15-year-old daughter knows that a master walks the road of exploration, kindness, generosity and joy. Tina Oehser Washington COl.

I applaud the article written by Malcolm MacPherson (“Who is Joy Lorien?” in the July 1 edition of the Rappahannock News.) As 1 read Ms. Lorien’s writings, I do not concern myself with her credentials. I do not concern myself as to whether she is an amateur or a professional. I do admire that she writes from her heart. And, after reading Mr. MacPherson’s article, I appreciate that she also writes from her life experiences. Artists are individuals. They provide us with their interpretations of life and being. We choose to accept or deny their interpretations for ourselves, hut we should not, we can not, attack them personally for their contributions. I understand through the “infamous” (as you call it) Rappnet listserv, that you allegedly apologized to Joy Lorien. If this is true, why did you not make such an apology public for all to see?

Now I just want to crawl up under the Wings of Jehovah and fly to the Land of Nod waking to a new day. We are all a work in progress for sure. Joy Lorien Luray Publication of article on Joy Lorien ‘was warranted’ Phillip S. Rosemond’s mean-spirited letter published on July 8 saddened me. One of the joys of the Rappahannock News is that it attempts to represent the views of a cross section of a small town community. Albeit one that is becoming increasingly sophisticated. The News, however, is not (and should not be) the Wall Street Journal, nor the Literary Digest. Does Mr. Rosemond suggest a literary “litmus test” for all humaninterest articles? Shall introspection (i.e. “narcissism”) be carefully screened? Shall Mr. Rosemond be appointed the arbiter of “public art” and the anointer of the “Real artists?” If Mr. Rosemond did not approve of Joy Lorien’s article, he was free to stop reading, just as we are all free to hit the “delete” button on Rappnet. Joy’s article may not have rung my bell, but I believe it may have touched others. And for that reason, its publication was warranted.

Doing so spares surviving family members the stress that they might otherwise have to endure by making these decisions on their own. From a financial standpoint, prearrangements makes sense because it helps to avoid the effects of inflation. There are plans available that help to lock in prices and escape rising costs. By taking a calm and rational view of future needs, a person can help his or her family avoid the unnecessary confusion and financial difficulties that die passing of a loved one often present Both these factors help to promote peace of mind in the present and future. Prearrangements allow a person to make decisions, both financial and personal, about the kind of services they wish to have upon their death.

Wright Corrections, and in 1965 she became secretary to the Principal at Minnie Howard Junior High School where she remained until she retired in 1975. Mr. Wright went to work for the Civil Aeronautics Board where he helped prepare cases for legal teams fighting against unsafe or illegal airline practices. In a dramatic career change, he began working as a consultant for the Wilderness Society which took him all over the U.S. He lobbied in Congress against strip-mining, the Alaskan Pipeline and the Concord. Even in retirement, he remained active in terms of wilderness conservation, his great passion. Mr. Wright was a huge supporter of the World Wildlife Federation and took particular interest in protecting wolves and their environment. In 1977, he was named “Wildlife Conservationist of the Year” and awarded a statue by President Ford in the Rose Garden. The statue is proudly displayed at his Flint Hill farm, his favorite place. The Wrights bought land and built their farm, Horizon Lodge, in 1962. They were active members of Rappahannock County, an area that Mr. Wright referred to as “God’s Country.” They spent many of their happiest times there with their family, attending the Flint Hill Carnival and various horse events, including the Virginia Hunt, which Mr. Wright rode on “Big Red,” one of his two beloved horses. They are survived by one daughter, Marilyn Batty of Alexandria and a granddaughter, Amber Tolchard who lives in London. The Wrights were fantastic parents and grandparents who treasured their family, friends, farm and the countryside. They will be greatly missed.

July 15, 2004 Summertime... and the arillina is easv By Bob Twiog Rappahannock News Staff Writer The barbecue is the domain of man. Or a woman. It’s all about hot glowing coals. Or bottled gas. It’s slabs of red meat. Or fish. On any given day when it’s Hazy, Hot and Humid, we will pop the lid off the grill and set off into a cooking adventure. The grill is liberation from kitchen walls, from the parameters of the vent fan, from the threat of flying grease. The grill is where we can don an apron and be primal, modem man emulating the caveman. And it’s where we can whip up food so tasty, so juicy, so gooo-ud that we will write a check for thousands and thousands of dollars to truly five out the fantasy and get the latest, greatest, biggest, hottest grill on the American marketplace. Like the Grand Turbo model sitting just inside at Barbecues Galore in Sterling’s Potomac Plaza Shopping Center. “It’s our Cadillac,” says Randy Jones, assistant manager of the store and a man who knows his way around the Turbo’s all-stainless-steel exterior with gas grill with two side burners and enough storage room for every supply and gadget you can carry home. When Jones talks about grills, he’s drawing on a fascinating depth of knowledge. He has been at Barbecues Galore for three years and drips with intelligence. He wasn’t always a grill guy. “It wasn’t till I started working here,” he says. “I get a lot of tips from customers.” At home, he uses his brand- new portable grill with the infrared technology that cooks a goodsize steak in two minutes. That’s the latest technology on the market, the result of a company letting a patent expire a couple years ago and the entire industry jumping in to add it to their grills. You may not even know you have an infrared What s new withh Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Elizabeth Ferraro BEHEMOTH: Above, the Grand Turbo Barbecue, of Barbecues Galore in Sterling, is described as the “Cadillac of Grills." YUMMY: Right, there’s nothing like grilling outdogrs. component on your grill. If you have a big grill with a rotisserie, you probably have an infrared element. It looks like a ceramic honeycomb inside a metal grill. “It provides nice even heat,” Jones says. The downside, he says, is that infrared has only three settings: “hot, hotter, hottest.” It’s designed to cook fast, period. Or, as Jones says, “you get perfect grilling.” Not bad. Heat is important. That’s why so many grillers still use charcoal, Jones says. But most of the new gas grills are able to match charcoal’s heat production, measured as a BTU output. In fact, Jones puts the BTU measure as his most important priority in selecting a grill. “It must be 40,000 BTUs,” he says. Second most important: “It must have components that last.” He recommends going with stainless steel construction—”304 grade doesn’t rust.” Beyond that, “the rest is what’s important to you,” Jones says. “The rest” is like an adult in playland. If you think you might want it, need it or imagine it, there’s probably one on the market right now. Gadgets are as much of the barbecue experience as sizzling steaks and succulent fish. The biggest gadget this year, in Jones’ opinion, is the “Oregon Cedar Grill." Basically, it’s a thin slice of cedar wood, about the size of a bread board.You soak it in water, slap a piece of fish on it and put it on the grill. “It puts smoke in the fish.” Smoke is barbecue-speak for flavor. And it does so without burning up the wood. Nifty, eh? Since the right temperature is important, Jones has a fork that digitally reads the information and tells you when it's done. See BBQ, Page B8 Getting fit at Rappahannock’s first fitness center By Malcolm C. MacPherson Rappahannock News Staff Writer The place could not have been mistaken for anything but what it is—the grunts and groans, the heavy sighs, the sweating and wiping off sweat with little towels. The new Rapp-Fit Community Fitness Center at Rappahannock County High School, for reasons as different as the people who are joining up, is a bustling, successful affair. No less than 121 Rappahannock residents have signed up and paid to use the aerobic and weight machines located in two side rooms (one air conditioned and one cooled by a virtual airplane propeller of an electric fan) of the fitness center, six days a week. The center opened in May and has attracted “a real cross section of ages,” according to Mike Tupper, the high school’s assistant principal who was filling in one day last week for the regular fitness staff. “Plenty of people are coming in, but we’d love to see more.” Katie Hartman, 10, a towhead who attends Rappahannock County Elementaiy School, was jogging on a treadmill programmed to go fast and slow and up and down, and she was running with such apparent ease, she could carry on a conversation. Hartman helps her dad, J.D. Hartman, on the family’s vineyard, Christensen Ridge Winery, and she needs muscles to get the work done. She also needs to work out, she says, if she hopes to make the “cut” for her school’s basketball team during the July 26-29 Basketball Camp. “I thought I’d get a jump on it,” Katie said. Nearby on another treadmill, running full blast, Jeremy Slack, 21, of Washington, the son of the artist Rex and a rising senior at the University of Arizona, wants to work out to keep up with the forces of gravity and atrophy. He works out two to three times a week at the university. “And I don’t want to lose it,” he said. The 2001 graduate of RCHS said, ‘It’s a lot of convenience, Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Malcolm MacPherson FEEL THE BURN: Reggie Armistead, 29, manager of his grandfather's cattle ranch, Flying A Farms, works out to complement the work required to be a rancher. the gym, when I am here.” His brother Daniel Slack, 18, who will be attending Muskingun College in New Concord, Ohio, in the fall, was in the weight room, contemplating the free weights. “I do everything to get in shape for myself,” he said. “It’s good for my mind.” Across the room, Reggie Armistead, 29, did not look like he needed shaping. He manages his grandfather Gray’s cattle farm in Rappahannock, the Flying A Farm, with 325 breed cows. The Flying A comes from his grandfather and father, who were both Naval aviators. “You don’t get much cardio on the farm,” said Reggie, who was wearing a sweaty T-shirt with the words “National Young Leaders Conference.” He went to George Mason University, before turning to ranching. “You get a workout on the farm but not like these,” he said, pointing to the weights. Prior to the opening of the center, Armistead was forced to drive for exercise into Warrenton and the Old Town Athletic Club. “It was too much driving back and forth,” he said, sounding relieved to have the convenience that the new facilities have offered county residents. Frieda Herman, a math teacher at RCHS and a resident of Tiger Valley, was working out on the aerobic machines to get herself in condition for an upcoming one-week “mission trip” to the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, which she said will be a lot of work, helping the young Indians on the reservation. Her husband Richard was working MISSION WORKOUT: Frieda Herman, a RCHS math teacher from Tiger Valley, is working out to get in shape for a mission this summer to the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. out nearby. “I do everything the same as her,” he said, sounding only a bit grouchy, “except I came because she made me.” Everybody at the center seemed more or less pleased with the facilities, even knowing that improvement will be made as time goes by. The TV in the aerobic room will be hooked up to cable, and there may even be found a place to change clothes that does not presently exist. Frieda Herman is not complaining but she wishes there was “someone To Join _ • Membership Fees: There is no cost for students K-12 (in good standing) who reside in Rappahannock County, school employees, and full-time county employees. — Individual Membership for Rappahannock County Residents is $ 12/Month or $ 100/Year — Individual Membership for Non-Residents is $20/Month or $ 180/Year — Daily Rate for Rappahannock County Residents is $5 — Senior citizens (age 62+), substitute school employees, part-time county employees, and active Rappahannock volunteer rescue/fire personnel receive half price on membership. • Students under age 16 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult or adult paying daily rate. • No locker room facilities are available to the public. • Hours: Monday-Friday, 3-8 p.m.; Saturday, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. who could, give us advice about how to help ourselves,” she said, like a trainer. However, according to School Supt. Bob Chappell the school district “will not provide that service— to do so, would increase costs substantially and we’ve tried to operate it as inexpensively as possible. But if someone wants to bring in their personal trainer, they are welcome.” ‘Cold Mountain:’ an exhilarating, probing Civil War epic By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “Cold Mountain,” starring Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger and Jude Law, has everything—love, war, humor, suspense and a probing sense of what it takes for a divided America to heal its wounds. Director Anthony Minghella (“The English Patient,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley”) has meticulously crafted an intimate epic that is clearly determined to translate Charles Frazier’s best-selling Civil War novel of human hope amid great brutality to the screen. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing “Cold Mountain” at The Theatre in Little Washington on Gay Street on Friday, July 16 at 8 p.m. The film received numerous Academy Award nominations and Renee Zellweger as Ruby received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. ' In his novel, Frazier drew upon stories handed down by his North Carolina ancestors to recount the journey of a man named Inman (Jude Law) who lives in a small southern town called Cold Mountain when the Civil War is only days from starting. Inman meets Ada Monroe (Nicole Kidman) who is the daughter of Rev. Monroe (Donald Sutherland) and a flirtatious relationship begins. The two say almost nothing to each other but as war is declared and Inman is putting on his uniform he kisses Ada before marching off. While at the front lines the Yankee Army digs tunnels and places explo 'Cold Mountain’ is coming to The Theatre Friday, July 16 at 8 p.m. sives underneath the Confederates and this is the start of a battle where countless lives are lost on both sides. Inman is wounded and while recovering in a makeshift medical facility he decides that he doesn’t care about “the cause” and deserts from the Army and plans on walking back to Cold Mountain and to Ada. Back at Cold Mountain the Rev. Monroe dies and leaves Ada alone on the farm to fend for herself which she is not equipped to do. One of Ada’s neighbors helps her out by sending the rough and tumble drifter Ruby Thewes (Renee Zellweger) to help her take care of the farm. During their time together Ada and Ruby develop a strong friendship although they appear to be total opposites; Ruby keeps telling her that Inman will return one day even though she hasn’t heard from him in years. While on the road Inman meets several people that either help him or try to arrest and kill him. He meets a lecherous preacher, an old woman named Maddy (Eileen Atkins) who lives in the forest with goats and a young widow (Natalie Portman) who has a sick child but yearns for the touch of another kind person. Both Ada and Inman spend the next three years going through all sorts of turmoil until Inman finally returns to Cold Mountain. Kidman lights up the screen as the young woman waiting for her soldier to return and Law gives a star performance. But Zellweger steals the film. Her Ruby is a cross between Annie Oakley and Pippi Longstocking as she commands the scene with gusto. The film is rated R for sexual scenes, violence and scenes of emotional intensity. Run time is 154 minutes.

Neighbors Washington’s farms featured in magazine, newspaper Publicity about Washington, Va., appeared in this month’s Gourmet Magazine regarding the magazine’s beef taste test. Sunnyside Farms received the best review for its organic Kobe beef. John O’Malley Bums and his Goat Hill Farm were written up in a Louisville Courier-Journal article about unique ways farms are using the Internet to market their products. The story says that when Washington Clarissa Pintado 675-3395 aquariss@aol.com Bums created his web site to promote his farm’s vegetables, he added a link for people “to contact the goat” thinking it was more catchy than saying, “Contact us.” In other news, Martha Steger was a guest at the Foster Hams House Bed & Breakfast last Saturday. Steger is the PR person for the Virginia Tbunsm Corporation. Does this meari more tourists are coming to Little Washington? Maybe, but for now, Steger was just taking the tour for her own pleasure. But as innkeeper Patrick Corbett put it, “Her eyes and ears are always open ” Some of our residents are headed to the Democratic Convention in Boston the weekend after this, including John Fox Sullivan, who is president and publisher of the National Journal and also president of Atlantic Monthly. Sullivan said the National Journal will publish a daily 48-page tabloid newspaper at each convention called the National Journal Convention Daily. Sullivan and his wife, Bev, who have another home in Rappahannock, bought the log cabin next to Middleton Inn on Main Street from Ray Gooch, who moved to Spenyville. Their children had an enjoyable time this past weekend in the renovated cabin during their visit. Michelle Schwartz of Heritage House B&B has returned from 10 days of helping her father through cancer. He is recovering very well. Michelle wishes to thank the community for their thoughts and prayers. Best wishes to Bunny of the Public House restaurant in Flint Hill who has been out sick for over a week and in the hospital.

Several afternoons, the “very cute” bear has been spotted romping in the field. It peeks over, jumps the fence and proceeds on its merry way up Midnight Lane, stopping for a visit at the houses, along the way, to eat such snacks as cat food. There have been several “close” encounters, but when startled, the bear runs up the lane towards the mountain top.

One holds ribs upright, allowing use of indirect heat. Another is for chicken. A can of beer-or water-fits upright in the center of the metal stand. The chicken goes on top. Ba-da-boom, ba-dabing, the chicken cooks through and stays moist, which is always a challenge. “Basically, you’re steaming the chicken,” Jones says, “but there is no beer flavor.” Another rack of sorts is a fish holder. It’s a perforated sheet with small sides. “It keeps the fish in one piece,” Jones says. “It allows grease and oils to hit the briquettes and return as smoke.” The holder can be metal or Teflon. Wood chips are also a simple way to add smoky flavor on a gas grill. But, Jones cautions, “you gotta have a smoker box, a cast-iron box, where you put the chips.” Don’t even think about dumping the chips directly on the burners. You can dump wood chunks on charcoal briquettes, if you want. And wood chips are a must for a smoker.

Injectables are best used when frying a turkey, but they can be used in other meats as well. The other is a “rub,” which is a dry mixture of spices that you rub onto a piece of meat. The best use for a rub (available in mesquite, hickory or such exotic tastes as peach) is on pork, including ribs and tenderloin. “It adds a lot of flavor,” Jones says, “more charcoal flavor.” You got all that, and you’re nigh onto ready to go. Except you need some tools. Gotta have tools. Especially if it’s a man, you simply gotta have tools. Nowadays, it’s an easy process. You can pick up a nice metal carrying case filled with 23 different tools. Talk about Home Depot heaven! There’s all the must-haves: knives, fork, spatula, basting brush, tongs, skewers and corn holders. And it’s all stainless steel. “Everything lasts, and it’s very durable,” Jones says. He also lists some musts: • Brass bristle brush for cleaning. • Cover. • Pam nonstick spray for grilling. 11 won i uurii up. • Simple Green Degreaser. And you should go ahead and pick up a grill pad, especially if your grill is on a wooden deck. And, while you are at it, go ahead and snag an apron and a glove (cooking variety). Once you have all the stuff, all you need is a cookbook. Jones recommends “How to Grill” by Steven Raichlen and the ever-popular “Grilling for Dummies.” Now, the bottom line: How much? Gas grills start around $129 and soar all the way to around $6,000-can you say, “Viking!” Grills can be freestanding or can be built into your outdoor kitchen. Jones says the most popular seller at his store is the Turbo Elite for $995. “You can do about anything on it. It’s a good start, and you can keep it for a lifetime.” Jones thought about that last statement and remembered that he sold barbecuesand smiled. Just like you will when you bask in the oohs and aahs of the appreciative diners at your next barbecue. Enjoy!
