MacPherson ■ Rappahannock News StafT Writer How often does it happen when a circle closes in a life which was a dream? Even without the treacle, such a journey has the power to captivate, and for no one has it happened with such clarity than with the newly-installed headmistress of Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill. When Kathleen Flaherty Grove was growing up, she visited her maternal grandparents’ farm on Red Oak Mountain, near WoodviUe, at least one week each summer, and for frequent Sunday dinners. Her grandmother, Hilda Crim, had taught in a two-room school house along Scrabble Road; Kathleen had read the county’s textbooks for fun. Her great-aunt Juliette Johnson taught fifth grade at the Sperryville School. “I grew up with a love of Rappahannock County,” she says, and by the steady look in her eyes, you believe her utterly. She acted on this affection three years ago when her husband, Raymond, retired. He was the principal of the Jefferson Middle School in Arlington. At the time, she was the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction with the Arlington Public Schools’ System and, among many other duties, she advised on curricular leadership to 31 schools, handled a budget of $21 million, kept up with a demanding public speaking schedule, and consulted to the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools, traveling for them to places like Azerbaijan, El Salvador, and Brazil. At his retirement, Mr. Grove’s students gave him the unusual gift of a Black Angus cow. “He told me that farming was something he would like to try,” Mrs. Grove says. He “apprenticed” for two years on a farm in Catlett in Fauquier County, driving a tractor and herding cows to see if the reality matched the dream, and the decision came about, naturally, for the Groves to buy a farm. Mrs. Grove wanted the homestead to be on Red Oak Mountain. What attracted Mrs. Grove was the idea of Rappahannock. She recalled her great uncle, Raymond Johnson, of Woodville, telling her long ago that “a foreigner had bought all that property along Route 522.” See WAKEFIELD, Page A10 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Malcolm MacPherson COMING TOGETHER: Kathleen Flaherty Grove, new headmistress of Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill, considers herself to have "closed a circle” by coming back to Rappahannock. County’s Comp. Plan in hands of supervisors By Nichoi-as M. Horrook Rappahannock News Staff Writer The proposed Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan is awaiting approval by the Board of Supervisors at a time when many in government and the public interest community feel the county faces the greatest land development pressure in its history. After two years of work, the Planning Commission last Wednesday unanimously voted to adopt its final draft of the plan, a 105-page book that sets out where the county is and where it wants to go over the next five years. The plan goes before the supervisors who may alter it, but once it is approved will become the official plan of the county. It is expected to be approved. No date had been set at press time for when the supervisors will hold a hearing. The plan comes at a time when there, is growing concern over the pressure that developers in the Washington—Northern Virginia region are exerting. As commission member Alvin F. Henry said Wednesday “it is only a matter of time until they present a planned community and test us.” He urged the commission to consider making 50-acres instead of. 25 as the minimum lot size for building in Rappahannock. In the public comments Wednesday, members of the commission and community leaders cited several recent developments that concerned them: • The sale by John V. Lyle of 1,467 acres for $10,767,350 to Property Group II; • The proposal for a 2,700 person village at Clevenger’s Comer in Culpeper County along the border of See PLAN, Page A10 County seeks school money By Nicholas M.

Chefs From Page A1 world. Not any chefs, these men and women cook for kings and queens and heads of state. The high honor to host the club went to the Inn at Little Washington, whose owners are chef Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. This was only the second time the club has made one of its annual visits to America in its 16-year history. “Many of the chefs had not been to Washington, D.C., let alone Little Washington,” said O’Connell, who prepared the menu for the evening. Walter Scheib, the White House chef and present club president, had recommended the Inn, though the name was not unfamiliar to the visitors. Scheib is the White House’s first American chef ever, and he wanted to let the world of chefs know that America has grown up. “He has been trying to impart that America has come of age in all things culinary to skeptical French members, especially,” said O’Connell, who surely was not picking a fight. He explained pointedly to the French that “we had no role models at first except in France.” O’Connell wanted to help point out that “American moves quickly when the snowball starts moving.” But the proof was in the pudding. The visitors, after an afternoon of horseback riding and wandering around area vineyards, disembarked from their bus in front of the Inn on a red carpet, and were applauded by some 30 local residents; the visitors wore their chefs jackets and starched toques. O’Connell was in his Bregard & Cie. jacket with embroidery, leading the guests into the Inn’s kitchen to allow the guests to rub up against the stoves and whatnot over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres cooked where they stood. They sipped and nibbled to the music of fiddlers, hired for the evening. “We were approached about this three months ago,” said O’Connell about the evening’s festivities. “The menu was highly reflective of our region.” And reflective of O’Connell’s newest cookbook, “Patrick O’Connell’s Refined American Cuisine,” which illustrates how America now has a food culture comparable to Europe’s haute cuisine. From the kitchen, it kras over to the Old Tavern’s ballroom, where speeches were made, before sitting down to an amazing meal: Sorrel Jelly with Lemon Cream and Osetra Caviar; Seared Tuna Sashimi with Daikon Radish and Cucumber Sorbet; Pecan-crusted Soft Shell Crab Tempura with Italian Mustard Fruit; Pan Roasted Main Lobster with Rosemary Cream; Braised Veal Cheek with Raviolis of Virginia Country Ham; a Selection of Three Virginia Cheeses with Homemade Quince Preserves. And Davidoff Cigars, coffee, and cognac to top it off “I think they were pleasantly surprised,” said O’Connell; the Inn also served the guests American wines and champagnes. And after dessert? “We all watched the mists over the mountains,” said O’Connell, who was made an Honorary Member of the Club, joining the only other two honoraries, the French legends Paul Bocuse and Alain Ducasse.

Mosby, who forged his reputation as the leader of the Confederate “Grey Ghost” raiders, appeared last Tuesday evening at the Blue Ridge Civil War Roundtable at the Rappahannock County Library. The living history lecture, reenacted by Jeffrey F. Smith of King George, Va., attracted some 50 Civil War history buffs from Rappahannock and nearby areas. Smith put himself into the character of Col. Mosby and talked about his daring exploits making night raids against Union supply lines, capturing a Union general and hundreds of northern soldiers and corresponding with President Lincoln.

Letters Giving back When a good idea comes to town, it deserves to succeed. In less than two years, the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation has grown from $0 to nearly $250,000 in charitable funding. The NPCF is a tax-exempt organization that makes it easier for persons and organizations with charitable and philanthropic interests to support causes and issues that are important to them. Working with individual and corporate donors, the NPCF serves as the stewards of these funds, manages grants, and works with the donors to find the most generous tax benefits to which they are entitled. The NPCF is chaired by Marshall Doeller; David C. Gerrish is the president, and G. Wayne Eastham serves as secretary and treasurer. Douglas K. Baumgardner and J. Clifford Miller III of Rappahannock serve on the board of directors. Receiving ipitial support from local citizens and philanthropists who saw the need for such a foundation,* the NPCF recently granted two scholarships through the Jesse and Rose Loeb Scholarship Fund, and the Max Tufts Scholarship Award, through the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. The Warrenton Rotary Club recently established the Warrenton Rotary Community Fund with the NPCF. After raising money and distributing it to worthy charities for many years, Rotary officers were aware of the need to set up a foundation; but rather than starting their own, the club partnered with the NPCF. In Rappahannock County, a similar arrangement was worked out with the Ann Spieker Track Foundation Inc., frequently referred to as “Common Ground.” Their goal is to provide support for the construction, installation and maintenance of track facilities for Rappahannock County public schools. Again, rather than using critical funds to start their own tax-exempt foundation to handle the funds, organizers established the Ann Spieker Track Foundation Fund at the NPCF. But the advantages are not limited to organizations. Individuals who wish to honor the memory of a loved one, or want to share part of their estate in order to further a cause, will have an easy means to do so — making it certain that their desires will be carried out in the long term. Already known for many other things, we could earn the recognition as a people who willingly give back to our communities; who are willing — and able — to take care of our own when the need arises. The NPCF is making this all much easier, and deserves our support. Response to editorial ‘Cruise into harmony’ I for one, would like to apologize for any and all unpleasantry’s my poor choice in transportation may have occasioned the members of Rappahannock. Please be assured that I will immediately trade my motorcycle in on a station wagon, so that I might be welcomed, once again, as a visitor to “The County.” Give me a break. Chris Hamilton Boston ‘I try very hard not to use our Rappahannock roads on weekends’ I really appreciated your July 15 editorial “Cruise into harmony.” Although I try very hard not to use our Rappahannock roads on weekends because of the bikers, I did have to drive on Route 647 towards Marshall midmoming several Saturdays ago. I was passed on double yellow lines (maybe motorcycles are allowed to do this?) by a motorcycle doing an estimated 90 mph. I hope nobody was attempting to enter 647 from a side road or their driveway. On Sunday afternoon July 11,1 was driving on Route 211 from Luray, up over the mountain into Sperryville. There in several places in Sperryville were parked what looked like a hundred (perhaps more) motorcycles. Fortunately they stayed parked until after I got home. I really worry about all the people, some with children, who wish to enjoy the shops and farmers’ stands in Sperryville and the beauties of Skyline Drive on a weekend. I guess you are right—I have not seen a pig fly past yet. Ann Harman Flint Hill ‘How about stories of our own non-millionaire Rappahannock citizens’ This letter is in response to the July 22 front page article in the Rappahannock News entitled “Meet Douglas Combs.” Granted Mr. Combs has accomplished much in his life, but is this front page news? Our newspaper is one of the few local sources of news that we can use to learn about our own world. With the serious situation of the world today I can think of “much more important news” then a story about someone who has successfully made money with money in the world markets, and who feels compelled to tiy and tackle farming in order to gain a feeling of accomplishing “real work”, and then complains about it. Here’s a suggestion, how about more stories about our soldiers overseas and the sacrifices they and their families are making? Many of our soldiers are making the ultimate sacrifice or coming home severely wounded and their families are left in dire straits. Here’s another suggestion: how' about stories of our own, non-millionaire, Rappahannock citizens who work hard and still serve or have time to volunteer in the community. I can think of lots of citizens worth mentioning: (1) the single mother working over full-time in the county, still having time to volunteer for many community organizations; (2) another single mom, finishing her degree then working as a family counselor; (3) the single dad who cuts lawns for a living, but still provides time for his son; (4) the countless couples both working full-time, who find extra time to volunteer; (5) our “real” farmers putting in long hours and their wives who have full-time jobs (many of whom are teachers), and of course (6) our wealth of retirees who donate an invaluable num ber of hours for the good of our community. These are the type of people whose lives I am impressed with and want to hear about! There are so many people of character in Rappahannock, most of whom work full time (or more) and still volunteer their “free” time to serve their neighbors on community boards, in church groups, at our library, in the fire departments, in our schools, etc. I believe these are the people worth writing about! Holly E. Propst Flint Hill Comprehensive Plan: ‘A good summer read’ The Planning Commission passed to the Board of Supervisors—recommending approval—the county’s Comprehensive Plan. This document establishes the goals and principles for implementing the county’s ordinances and regulations for the next five years. Additionally, the plan provides guidance for all private or commercial undertakings. After over a year in process, the plan is a document that contains the facts and figures about the county and the aspirations for its future. The many words are complemented by artist renderings of the villages, maps of our natural resources, and illustrative tables of facts. And for a modest fee, copies will be available at the County Administrator’s Office. The perseverance of the commissioners is noteworthy and their individual and collective efforts in bringing the plan to final draft is commendable. Kudos to Candy Wroth and John McCarthy for their work. And much appreciation to the citizens that provided comments about the plan during the many public hearings con ducted throughout the county. So, if you are looking for a “good read” this summer, may I suggest that you pick-up your personal copy of the Comprehensive Plan. You will learn more about the place you live and gain insight into the plans for its future.

Opinion Two views on proposed lighting ordinance Point; ‘Why I am for proposed lighting ordinance’ By Geoffrey Gowen Heeding the call in “The Opinion” section of an earlier issue of the Rappahannock News I recently wrote the following to my representative on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors (BOS) in support of the proposed lighting ordinance: “My wife and I were first attracted to this lovely county 18 years ago, in part because of the beautiful dark skies, and moved here full-time four years ago. I own a telescope, and several pairs of binoculars but often it is sufficient simply to step outside on a summer evening and take in the breathtaking view of our “local galaxy”, the Milky Way stretching almost from horizon to horizon. It would be a shame if the failure of this county to take preventive action now would diminish the beauty of this sight.” Someone knowledgeable looked at the letter after I had sent it and said: “Nice thought, but not relevant to the BOS. Under Virginia law our local BOS can only deal with matters of “health, welfare and safety.” Whoa, I thought, it’s a serious welfare matter to me. But not to everyone, obviously. This became evident recently when a neighbor built a structure nearby, and put in security lights that glare up and out over the countryside. I don’t see the Milky Way when I look in that direction because my eyes immediately lose their dark adaptation. Will the proposed ordi- - nance help me? Not at all. It does not apply to residences, farms or existing businesses. You can blind your neighbor with your security lights and the ordinance won’t stand in your way. But that’s o k. because we are neighbors and want to live amicably. I think I can persuade him that he can still have good security lighting and not shine his lights in my face. Research shows that he will likely save See POINT, Page A6 COUNTERPOINT! By David L. Konick The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will consider on Monday a proposed local ordinance to regulate outdoor illumination and lighting at commercial premises. Even if one supports the spirit and stated intention of this legislation, passage of the “Lighting Ordinance” as it is proposed would violate good zoning practices. The Dillon Rule, which permits localities in the Commonwealth of Virginia to pass local ordinances only if permitted by state law, precludes Rappahannock County from adopting such an ordinance because there is no pro vision of the Code of Virginia specifically authorizing the limiting of lighting or the regulation of outdoor illumination in the manner proposed. In addition, other provisions of the state code specifically dealing with local regulation of outdoor lighting for counties that have the County Executive or County Manager form of government (Virginia Code 15.2-504.1, 15.2-742) or have planetariums, astronomical observatories or meteorological laboratories (Virginia Code 15.2-920) exclude Rappahannock. Experienced and competent lawyers who have reviewed the enabling legislation and the proposed ordi nance, including at least one former Rappahannock County zoning administrator, one state legislator and the staff of the Division of Legislative Services of the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond, agree that Rappahannock has no authority to adopt the proposed lighting ordinance under current Virginia law. The answer of proponents' of the ordinance is that the county attorney has blessed or endorsed the proposed Lighting Ordinance. But has anyone actually heard the county attorney bless or endorse the ordinance? I See COUNTERPOINT, Page A6 Because of you no one needs to face cancer alone or without hooe’ By The Rev. Phil Bailey Once again the citizens of Rappahannock County have much to be proud of as Brandy Derry, Community Specialist for Income Development of the American Cancer Society, reported that our local Relay for Life walkathon held on May 22-23 raised over $49,000 in the fight against cancer. For a county with a population of approximately 7,000 res idents this is an overwhelmingly gracious response to a cause which benefits us all. Our continual success in this effort could not happen without the help of many committed leaders and volunteers. The Board of Directors of the Rappahannock County Unit of the American Society would like to applaud the efforts of the Relay for Life committee members that year after year give countless hours of their time and energy to make this the wonderful event that it always is. Those persons serving for 2004 are as follows: Relay for Life Coordinator: Ben Atkins; Logistics Director: Koger Welch; Picnic Chairperson: Beverly Atkins; Food Chairpersons: Becky Atkins (Pizza Madness) and Ester Settle (Breakfast); Lights Chairpersons: Benjamin Atkins II and Ricky Atkins; Medical Chairperson: Ann Springer; Security Chairperson: Sheriff Larry Sherertz; Accounting Director and Banking Chairperson: Georgia Gilpin; Registration and Sales Chairperson: Tamara Settle; Luminaria Chairperson: Mary Ann Krammes; Survivors’ Walk Chairperson: Carolyn Leake Sponsor Chairperson: Michelle Kay; Cancer Education Chairperson: Mike and Betty Mahoney; News Coverage Chairperson: Betty Mahoney; On-Site Photo Chairperson: David Clanagan; Night Watchman Chairperson: Thomas Leake; Computer Design Chairperson: Blair Atkins; and Coffee Chairperson: Bill Welch. Of course, besides these persons, there are many other volunteers serving as team captains and team members who are active in securing donations. A word of appreciation goes out to them all. A special word of thanks, however, is due Ben Atkins and his wife, Becky. Ben has served as the Relay for Life coordinator for Rappahannock County since 2001 and Becky has worked beside him all the way. The first Relay for Life event in Rappahannock County took place in May of 1999 and Ester Settle was our first coordinator. She teamed up with Ben Atkins as Co-Chairpersons of the event in 2000 and during their time of service through this year’s event they have helped lead our county to raise over $320,000 for the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer. We are grateful to them and to all the citizens of Rappahannock County for their wonderful support. At the follow-up meeting of this year’s Relay for Life committee on June 22, Ben was asked why he has given so much of himself to this project and he said, “I lost my father to cancer. My mom was a cancer survivor before she passed away with heart failure. My wife lost a grandfather and grandmother to cancer. I have lost a lot of friends to cancer. I want to keep others around as long as I can. That’s the reason I do it.” When several other team members were asked why they donate so much of their time and effort to this cause they said: “Because I have had so many friends die from cancer. I am a cancer survivor myself for 13 years. I don’t want anybody’s children or grandchildren to have to go through what so many others have gone through with this tragic disease”—Carolyn Leake serving since 1998. ‘Because I lost my brother to cancer and it was quite a shock to all of us. This is something we hope the next generation floes not have to go through. I myself am a survivor and also have another team member who is a two-time sur- • vivor. This is a worthy cause that I and all my team members feel strongly about”—Ellen Timbers serving since 1999. “It is very hard to say ‘no’ to Ester Settle. That’s how we got started”—Mike and Betty Mahoney serving since 1994 and Betty is a cancer survivor. Through the efforts of all these persons and the citizens of our county we have been able to do our part to support the American Cancer Sotiety reach its goals: First: to do research to discover a cure for cancer; Second: to provide resources to help patients deal with their illness; Third: to deliver programs to educate us all about preventing certain forms of cancer and discovering them early enough to defeat them. Some of those programs our monies will help provide are as follows: • Reach to Recovery: a oneto-one visitation for women with breast cancer from a cancer survivor; • Man to Man: education and support groups for men battling prostate cancer; • Road to Recovery: transportation help for persons needing to get to their treatment centers; • I Can Cope: a patient/family educational series that focuses on living with cancer; Health Promotions Pre-registration required Register/Info: (540) 829-4190 AUGUST 3 High Blood Pressure This class will discuss symptoms, treatment, and causes of high blood pressure.

Point From Page A5 enough energy costs in the process to more than recoup the small investment. Moral: satisfactory views of the night-time skies and good security lighting can get along just fine; they are compatible objectives. So why am I for this ordinance if it is not going to help me with my immediate problem? Because if Sheetz or Wal-Mart were to move here, I (or more importantly our locally elected BOS) can’t expect them to respond as my neighbor would. They light for more than security reasons, they light to compete for customers. That sort of lighting is not compatible with scenic night-time viewing, and the decisions about its use are not made here by people with roots in the community but by officials in corporate headquarters hundreds of miles away. As noted in an earlier issue of this paper: you can only deal with such businesses if the ordinance sets out clear standards and is already in place. Our neighbors in Madison, who failed to do so, have learned this lesson to their sorrow.

These are values that have been set out in our Comprehensive Plan, which the BOS is committed to supporting. “Scenic" doesn’t just mean “scenic during the day” it means scenic at night, as well. For those of us who are worried about “the camel’s nose under the tent” we need to ask ourselves which should we prefer: lighting standards set by our locally elected officials in support of our community vision, or ad hoc lighting arrangements set by corporate officials located somewhere else whose primary purpose is to move their products? Counterpoint From Page A5 have not. Even assuming he has, his is but one legal opinion. Attorney general’s input Under such circumstances, the responsible way to proceed is for the county to seek guidance and advice in the form of an attorney general’s opinion, which, for some inexplicable reasons, the county has thus far declined to do. It costs nothing, and would help to resolve the legal issues that would forever hang over the Lighting Ordinance like the proverbial sword of Damocles. For the Board of Supervisors to ignore these questions and vote to adopt these proposed zoning regulations that may invite unnecessary challenges to our zoning and other land use ordinances would be irresponsible and inadvisable. It is likewise bad zoning practice to adopt an ordinance of such doubtful legality that it will not be enforced uniformly, if at all. This denigrates respect for all zoning and land use laws, and exposes the county to many avoidable legal risks. Unless and until either the board obtains a favorable ruling from the Attorney General of Virginia, or succeeds in having the Code of Virginia amended to grant Rappahannock the authority it needs to adopt such a local ordinance, the more practical solution to the perceived problem of outdoor lighting at commercial premises is to subject commercial establishments with more than a certain minimum square footage of commercial space, fast food establishments, gas stations and isimilar commercial uses to the Special Use Permit requirements, even in commercial and industrial zones. The Board of Zoning Appeals could then consider, as one of the approval factors, whether or not excessive outdoor lighting of a particular proposed project might be inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood. For anyone familiar with the zoning map of the county, there are relatively few com-, mercial or industrial zones in the county at present, and in all probability, any new commercial establishment of the type commonly mentioned by proponents of the Lighting Ordinance would require a rezoning application to be approved by both the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. In this process, the applicant could be encouraged to make voluntary proffers to limit outdoor lighting along the lines of those standards in the proposed Lighting Ordinance. Alternatives '-l In short, there are other and far better ways to do what the ordinance proponents say they are trying to do, and these alternatives involve far less risk of litigation initiated by some corporate giant that would be costly for the county and which we likely would lose or be forced to settle. The proponents say there is no harm done by adopting a local ordinance-of such questionable legality. In doing so, they ignore another related but equally important issue lurking just beneath the surface that involves other crucial aspects of the county’s comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision laws. Many of us who actively participated in drafting and passage of the current regulations believe these regulatory concepts are enforceable, but in fact some of them have never really been tested in court. Some of these provisions invade what is sometimes called “the gray area.” The county knowingly took some calculated risks by claiming “the gray area” in favor of stricter requirements and regulations than may be actually permitted under state law. So far, no one has challenged any of those restrictions, but that is no guarantee they will not be challenged at some future date, especially as development pressures intensify all around us with each passing month and year. Ib adopt a local zoning ordinance - lighting or otherwise - that is so obviously fraught with serious legal questions ultimately may have serious consequences far beyond the invalidation of those particular provisions. It may invite court review of other provisions “in the gray area” whose rejection might have very dire and unintended consequences for the county. For all these reasons, as a former zoning administrator, as a practicing attorney, and primarily as a citizen of the county, I urge the Board of Supervisors and the proponents to think carefully before supporting or voting to adopt the proposed outdoor lighting ordinance.

The days of sociability are gone with the proverbial wind’ Interesting panel discussion last week at the University of Virginia Center for Politics about the declining cordiality between parties in the General Assembly. I have commented on this before and generally concur with the panelists that included House Speaker Bill Howell, Del. Vince Callahan and Sen. John Chichester, all Republicans, and former Del. Chip Woodrum and former Sen. Hunter Andrews, both Democrats. Though some of their views differed, the panelists generally agreed that it was easier for members of the two parties to get along when the Democratic Party’s rule over both the House and Senate was overwhelming. During the more than a quarter of a century that I covered the Virginia legislature as a full-time journalist, I watched the level of sociability deteriorate as the Republicans gained more and more ground and partisan edges became sharper. In the days of the late 1960s and through much of the 1970s, Republican and Democratic legislators mingled freely and often had a drink or two at such places as The Commonwealth Club, Shu’s bar at the downtown Holiday Inn or at various other watering holes around Richmond. It was an age when even the media joined in some of the night-time socializing that went on. During that era various interest groups put on “must attend” social events practically every night of the legislative session. The annual soiree put on by the state savings and loan association was spectacular, the hottest show in town when held each year at the Jefferson Hotel. Like other big ticket events, one could hardly wander a few feet with drink in hand without bumping into such important personages as the governor, the lieutenant governor or various highly influential legislators. That bubble started to burst when the nation was rocked by a savings and loan scandal and so-called corporate greed became more of an issue. As a result, many special interest groups either scaled down their lavish functions or eliminated them altogether so as not to appear increasingly ostentatious. For media folks like myself the parties not only offered free food and drink but a chance to catch various legislators in an atmosphere of relaxation and perhaps even pump a bit of inside news from them.

Old Dominion .Politics John Goolrick At the Charlottesville conclave, Andrews, who left the Senate in the mid 1990s, said legislators over the past few years have worked overtime on partisanship and made too little time for friendships. And that, I think, is true, the inevitable outcome of not only the surge in ranks of the Republican Party but the infusion into the legislature of many ideologues with little interest in socializing and totally committed to advancing their social agenda. Back in the early 1980s when George Allen came to Richmond as a young member of the House of Delegates from Albemarle County, he was personally congenial to all of his fellow legislators but a man with a conservative mission. Allen was seldom seen on the social circuit, preferring to spend his time closely examining each of the thousands of pieces of legislation introduced each year. In retrospect, I think Allen who became a member of Congress and then governor was one of those principally responsible for a change in tone within the General Assembly. By that, I mean that as the two parties gradually reached parity, the Republican members became more like old time conservative Democrats while the Democrats came to more closely reflect the agenda of the national Democratic Party. So it came to pass that relations between Democratic and Republican members of the legislature became more like those in the U. S. Congress. Each side respected the others as individuals but fought bitterly against their philosophy so there was less and less common ground for friendly bipartisan socializing. In recent General Assembly sessions there has been an increased sense of warfare between not only the two parties but between the Republican majority in the House and their counterpart Republican majority in the Senate. This year’s session resulted in Chichester, powerful head of the Senate Finance Committee, becoming the prime target of anti tax GOP elements in the House who suggested he leave the party. Chichester, ,who had left the Democratic Party of his youth to become a Republican, joked that he might become the only legislature to have been kicked out of both parties. These days I visit the legislature several times when it is in session but as the saying goes you can’t go home again. The assembly of my reporting days no longer exists, the feeling of camaraderie is largely gone and in its place there is a sense of all work and no play. For reporters covering the legislature these days there is much more red meat to chew on given the new nature of the beast. In my day it was useless to seek information from Republican legislators since the Democratic leadership called nearly all the shots until the early 1980s. Indeed, former Del. V. Earl Dickinson of Louisa, a powerful Democrat, was one of my best sources and enabled a small town reporter to break stories before some of the larger newspapers did. It has been said the only constant is change. And despite what Hunter Andrews says, the prospect is that the legislature will remain bitterly partisan for years to come and the days of sociability are gone with the proverbial wind. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Jo Ann Davis.

New quick-care facility opens in Warrenton By George Rowand Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dr. Pat Palumbo, director of Fauquier Urgent Care, was relaying the idea behind the medical facility that opened in March in Warrenton. “It’s like an emergency room, but without the wait,” Palumbo explained. “Here you can walk in. You don’t need an appointment, and we’ll see you immediately.” Fauquier Urgent Care has an on-site X-ray department, as well as EKG and heartmonitoring capabilities. “We can deal with just about any emergency,” Palumbo said. “If you think you’re having a heart attack, it*s best to go to the ER, but if you don’t know, it’s best to come here. My background is emergency medicine.” Vacation-ready The morning of the interview, a woman entered Fauquier Urgent Care. Her Tifo Jewel Sparkles!

Palumbo quickly analyzed the situation and diagnosed an upper respiratory infection. “I’m really surprised at how much upper respiratory infections I’m seeing,” he said. “You expect to see it in the spring, not now.” Palumbo is a native of Northern Virginia, having grown up in AfcLean. His father was the Redskins’ team doctor during George Allen’s coaching career. Palumbo received his M.D. from Georgetown University and practiced emergency medicine in Maryland, Florida and Louisiana, as well as in Virginia. “I’m moving out here,” he said. “I’m very excited to be moving into the county.” His medical experience includes time spent in specialities other than emergency care. “I did cosmetic surgery for a couple of years, a lot of liposurgery. That’s where you lose inches, not pounds,” he explained. Palumbo intends to make the urgent-care facility as comprehensive as possible. He and his staff can give physicals and other types of tests. “We do sports physicals, camp physicals, school physicals, pretty much any type of physical that anybody could want,” Palumbo said. “We also can test for allergies, screen for drugs and give out flu shots.” Break a leg Palumbo said he can take care of injuries such as broken limbs, and first- and seconddegree bums. “We can do urinalysis, some blood work,” Palumbo said. “And we have four exam rooms here.” Palumbo hopes to create an atmosphere somewhat like that of an old-time doctor. “We’re trying to offer more personalized care,” he said. The office is open seven days a week. “It’s the old idea that, if the business is going to make it, the owner has to be there,” he explained. “You can walk in here, and we’ll see you immediately.” Fauquier Urgent Care is located at 75 West Lee Highway in Warrenton. The office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 12-10 p.m. The phone number is (540) 347-4757.

Crime Briefs The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department reported a busy week of incidents that make up a country department’s life, calls for noisy dogs, cows in the road, deer hitting cars and vice versa, and the usual family spats. However, one Flint Hill resident called to report a "ROBERT'S RETREAT" scam in the form of a call from a reputed Federal Notification Service telling him he was eligible for a sum of money between $8,000 and $25,000 in federal grants, if only he would give the caller the routing numbers for his bank account. The Flint Hill man smelled a scam and gave the caller the routing numbers for an account that he had already closed. No action was taken by the Sheriffs Department. On Saturday, July 24, at around 10:30 p.m., Virginia State Police stopped a 1997 4door Audi on Route 231 near the Madison County line in an “approved checking detail,” and charged two of the vehicle’s three occupants, one with possession of a concealed weapon (a large knife) and another with possession of marijuana. The men, Maxwell Marquand Parrish, 19, of Culpeper County, charged with a weapon violation, lives in Rixeyville; the other man; Tony Lamont Starks, also 19, and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession, lives in Washington, Va. Warrants were issued and the men were released on their own recognizance. A court date was set for Aug. 17. 174+ mostly wooded acres in Harris Hollow.

Inspiring TfiMJtgftt& by Randy Minter THE CAPACITY OF SORROW There is little question that Sief plavs a role in plumbing e depths of our sorrow ana expunging it from our lives. Thus, it is best to confront one’s grief honestly and directly. Otherwise, our sorrow is likely to follow us around with the hope of eventually being recognized and properly addressed. There is no reason to avoid grief in the mistaken belief that it represents an unseemingly indulgence. Quite the opposite - engaging in the grieving process reflects the degree of our humanity and caring for others. In the words of Henry Giles, “The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur; and the loftiest of our race are those who have had the profoundest griefs because they have had the profoundest sympathies.” We know how important it is for you to care for your loved ones. 11131 is why we recommend Rearrangements so your family can be secure in knowing your wishes. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave. Wanenton, we are happy to discuss all funeral options with you to see what best suits your beliefs and family desires.

Wakefield From Page A1 Then just a girl, Mrs. Grove had asked him, thinking of exotic places, “Where is he from?” “Chicago!” came his reply. Looking for property The couple looked for property in the Blue Ridge area, and when Mrs. Grove told her great uncle Raymond that they had found a place which suited them in Culpeper, he asked her, “Darlin’, are you all buyin’ a farm or buyin’ an idea?” She smiles now. “We bought an idea.” It was the old Berry Place on Route 522 in Woodville. They had heard it was for sale while shopping one day in the Sunnyside Market in Sperryville. They looked it over with some trepidation. Abandoned, the house had not been lived in for 40 years. Built in parts, the house dates from the 1700s, 1815, and 1885. “It was the proverbial abandoned ghost house. It was wonderful, but there was no way we could buy it,” she said. Until their agent made it possible. She doesn’t explain how, only to say that her husband had been the agent’s coach in high school, way back when. Even then, Mrs. Grove had no thought of retiring or actually moving to Rappahannock, at least until the word went out last fall that Wakefield was looking for a new headmaster. The school’s board hired her, clearly not believing its luck, either, nearly on the spot. “We lucked out,” said Wakefield’s director, Harry H. Heard III of Bentonville. “She has a commanding presence but she is a real people person.” “It all came together in an incredible way,” Mrs. Grove said. If her grandmother Hilda could teach in a two-room school, Kathleen was prepared for the jol) as leader of a school “where you can’t disappear,” and where upper-school students oversee and even help to tutor lower-school students. “The emphasis here is on a respect for an excellent education,” she said. “Not a lot of changing (on my part) is needed here. We have high expectations of our students within a sup portive and nurturing environ ment. If we don’t have one with out the other, then there is frus tration. It’s a small atmosphere in which a certain set of behav iors is expected.” She plans to look at whal technology training can be added to the curriculum so thal “students leave here with whal is expected in this day and age.’ She wants to look, as well, al student self-governance in the upper school, adding sports ir the middle school, and a continuation of the school’s unusual international boarding offeringin which foreign students wil continue to add “diversity.” And of course she will review issues of modest growth and fund-raising for an improved and additional physical plant. “But the bottom line here,' she said, “is what goes on in the classroom between the students and their teachers. And if that is going well, that is critical.” She has already met with the faculty on an individual basis to “see how I could help them with their needs. The more contact I have (with the faculty) the happier I am with the decision to come here. I feel as if I know them pretty well Celebrating 70 Years of Service to the Farmers of Central Virginia “Quality • Service • Selection ” • Feed • Fertilizer • Crop Protectants • Seed • Farm Supplies • Nursery • Clothing • Pet Supplies • Lawn & Garden • Power Equipment • Fencing Now Serving Rappahannock County with all your Off Road & Large Truck Tire Service Needs Call Otis at 800-866-1733 Warrenton 300 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, VA 540-341-8663 Please come see us at our Culpeper location! > 560 James Madison Hwy.

She acknowledges that the distance some students would have to travel to the school presents a challenge to modest growth. irWe don’t want density,” she says, echoing the whole county’s central mantra. Now that the Groves have Plan From Page A1 Rappahannock; • Some 8,500 units either under construction, planned or proposed under Culpeper zoning regulations. In an interview, County Administrator John McCarthy said he had heard that the Lyle tract is slated for division into 50 and 100 acre lots for sale, well above the county’s minimum 25-acre regulation, “but it is quite likely at some point we are going to get a big developer come in and test our zoning.” He said the importance of the Comprehensive Plan is to have a document in force that shows a “serious effort” to set out residents’ intentions. McCarthy said that the Comprehensive Plan completes the one “statutory” requirement of the Planning Commission, but last Wednesday, they agreed to begin urgent hearings on several key planning issues. Alvin Henry said in an interview that the county does not even know the individuals who bought the Lyle tract, only that the firm is headquartered in Gladstone, Va. He said that the nearly $7,500 an acre sales price of a parcel that large was cleared the pasture and put their new home on the right path, they will move in during the next couple of weeks, and sell their present house in Falls Church. Mrs. Grove’s grandfather had installed a picket fence in front of his house on Red Oak Mountain, and the Groves the unusual. Lyle, a decorated retired Air Force colonel has made no public announcement of the plans nor has the purchaser. Intentions of buyers James Gannon, who attended as a member of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection urged that the commission investigate the intentions of the buyers who are now seeking property in Rappahannock. He said the commission should invite real estate agents and brokers to a public hearing so the commission can “better understand the pressure of the land prices.” Bob Lander, also of the RLEP said the Comprehensive Plan itself sets out a chapter on how to do this research and planning. Charles W. Strittmatter, a member of the commission, urged that his colleagues study Rappahannock’s villages— Amissville, Flint Hill, Sperryville, Chester Gap and Woodville— with an eye to settling clear boundaries and resolving whether villages need to engage professional planners to assist in preparing for the future. Claudia Mitchell, a member of the Town of Washington Council, urged that the Planning Commission coordi Schools From Page A1 and field. It will also, if approved, add space for music education. The hearing must be conducted at the board’s Sept. 8 meeting or at a special session in the next 60 days to meet state bonding terms, said County Administrator John W. McCarthy. The next board meeting after August is on Sept. 8 because of the Labor Day holiday. The School Board has proposed the most ambitious cap ital improvement program in recent years calling for a new auxiliary gymnasium, air conditioning for parts of the elementary school, upgrading of the running track at the high school, a roof for the elementary school, a small classroom addition and an upgrading of the electrical system of the elementary school. The board conducted public hearings and extensive discussions on the plan which will cost an estimated $3.8 million.

Washington has its own government and planning group. Strittmatter urged that officials from other county planing commissions be invited to tell “where they went wrong-they did” in controlling growth in their counties. Rappahannock has been committed to maintaining its beauty and semi-rural character over allowing indiscriminate development. Phil Irwin, a long-time local planning expert, urged that more effort be made to get regional cooperation so that Rappahannock could have some influence over plans on its borders. The Comprehensive Plan has for the first time included beautiful aerial photographs and full-colored maps of key areas and each village and the Tbwn of Washington are introduced by lithographs prepared by Thomas Tepper, the vice chairman of the commission. Tepper is an artist and architect in private life. The commission voted an official thanks to Beverly Hunter who created the extraordinary Colored maps. mer, but the public review and bonding system would not permit that. In the spring the board conducted a joint hearing with the supervisors and won apparent support for the entire plan. The only serious questions arose over a $488,000 classroom addition at the elementary school which might block a building of a bigger addition later. The addition would replace temporary classrooms with a music room and small classrooms. Teachers and parents said the temporary classrooms are in poor condition. McCarthy said the most economical way for the county to raise the funds is issuing bonds through the Virginia Public School Authority an agency that groups small jurisdiction needs and sells the bonds as a group backed by the full authority of the state’s taxpayers. When Virginia adopted a budget with tax increases last spring it kept the state’s bond ratings high and thus lowered the interest cost for the state. The money must be borrowed by the entire county after a favorable vote of the supervisors. The running track upgrade has been long sought after so that Rappahannock can host track meets with a suitable performance area. The auxiliary gym which will be built at the elementary school will allow high school and elementary school children more areas to play and to practice. Although Rappahannock’s school enrollment has remained constant at just over 1,000 students, new federal laws have increased the school’s responsibility to provide teams and athletic facilities.

Houses selected for annual fall House Tour By Helen Williams Special to the Rappahannock News A grand and gracious manor house, a tiny old log cabin, and a new house filled with treasures, are the choices for the 2004 House Tour sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of IVinity Church in Washington. This annual October event and fund-raiser is in its 48th year, and these houses are among more than 130 that have been opened to the public since 1956. The House Tour, combined with the sale of dried flower arrangements, is the chief funraiser of, the ECW, and its proceeds fund various charities both in and outside the community. The three houses, along with historic Middleton Inn as the Tea House, will be open the weekend of Oct. 16 and 17, and visitors are expected from all the neighboring counties as well as from Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. September Song The oldest house, rebuilt in 1820 after the original had burned, is September Song, home of Theodore and Renate Chapman. It sits on land granted to the Browning family by Lord Fairfax in 1735 and owned by that family until the 20th century. The present owners, who have used the home as a retreat facility, count among their ancestors a William Chapman, who rode with Colonel John Mosby during the Civil War. Mosby himself is said to have spent the night in a barn (now demolished) on the property.

The large center hall still has th<> original medallions, and many charming paintings by Renate Chapman’s father, Eugene Wagner. To the right and left of the hall are the original living and dining rooms, complete with original fireplaces, and heart pine flooring. One window in the living room boasts original glass, made by the oldest method. In the 1850s a new wing was built on the north end of the house, adding a hall and two rooms. One room is now a small chapel. A large porch was enclosed in the 1920s and is now flooded with light, with the original columns and brick work still visible. Upstairs are a library and three large guest rooms. Like other estates, the main house is served by many outbuildings. The summer kitchen features a huge fireplace, with the original metal cranes for hanging pots. There is an old smokehouse with the original board for hanging mans and other smoked meats, a gazebo with the original bell for calling the hands, a wonderful old chimney and outdoor oven. The o’d milk house foundation defines a flower bed. This old house, visible on 211 west of the town of Washington, is truly a piece of Rappahannock history. Metairie The second house, owned by Col. John Bourgeois, was built on the site of an old home, which had burned down 10 years ago. The new “Metairie” showcases the life of a musician and traveler. Col.

The Flint Hill fire department almost missed its own parade because it was busy firefighting but one truck made it to the parade.

The miilti-talented Carters are a young, very-hot bluegrass family band from Nashville. Amber-Dawn, South Texas Fiddle Champion, plays fiddle and guitar, sings and emcees. Scarlett is already considered one of the finest female mandolin players around. Frank, International and Midwest US Flatpicking Guitar Champ, also sings lead vocals. Thirteen-year old Kat is a fantastic fiddler and guitarist, and sings harmony and lead vocals. This is an opportunity to see and hear a great bluegrass group on the rise and to witness musical virtuosity and harmony rare in musicians of any age. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket.

Shenandoah National Park celebrates Wilderness Act Shenandoah National Park continues its Field Seminar series on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with an all-day seminar entitled, “Voice of the Wilderness,” celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act by encouraging people to explore Shenandoah’s wilderness. From John Muir’s writings to Ansel Adams’ photography, voices of artists have played an important role in the preservation of wild places. Voice of the Wilderness will give participants the opportunity to continue in this American tradition. The seminar includes a moderately strenuous six-mile hike through a portion of Shenandoah National Park’s wilderness area. Cascading streams, solitude, and signs of Shenandoah’s history will provide a backdrop for participants to express their personal views of wilderness through sketching and writing. Park experts will be joined by accomplished naturalist, artist, photographer, and writer Bob Tbpe who will guide participants in activities to enhance observation skills, writing, and sketching from nature. Examples of Tope’s own work can be seen in' National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, and national parks across the country. Passed by Congress in 1964, the Wilderness Act created a National Wilderness Preservation System. Shenandoah National Park is part of this national system and contains one of the largest wilderness areas in the eastern United States. Seminar participants will discover the individuals whose passion for wild places led to the establishment of laws which preserve “an enduring resource of wilderness” for future generations. Advance registration is required and space is limited. Contact Shenandoah National Park’s Education Office at 540-999-3489 or go on-line at http://www.nps.gov/shen/2h5. htm to register or for more information. The cost of the seminar is $40. Registration includes the entrance fee to Shenandoah National Park, course instruction, and education materials. Shenandoah National Park Association members receive a 20% discount. Concert From Page B1 performing for the residents of Culpeper Baptist Retirement. Tour From Page B1 cradle. Inside, the living room is dominated by an antique quilt hung over one of the original fireplaces. An old clock, coffee table and lamps fashioned with antlers, paintings by Rappahannock artists Robin Purnell, Tanya Richey, and Martin Woodward and heads of elk, moose, mountain goat, deer, and longhorn cattle catch the eye. Oriental rugs both lay on the floors and are hung from the upper level. A dining room table, backed by a display of blue and white china fills one corner of this great room, and a wine nook, with an old dry sink, books, a stained glass window, and many bottles fills the other. There are two bedrooms downstairs, one tiny one with a Civil War hospital bed, and the other, decorated with a horse theme, with a rustic bed, 1840s English armoire, and a Chinese altar. Upstairs, a wall full of pictures shows Col. Bourgeois and all the First Ladies for whom he has played, beginning with Rosalind Carter. A small loft study has a primitive pine desk, and hunting prints. A large bedroom features two double beds with quilts, and a needlework rug, ottoman and pillows done by the colonel on his travels. The Tuscan kitchen is dominated by a stuffed boar’s head, mounted over the other original fireplace. A collection of pewter pieces on the mantelpiece, a large chandelier, copper pots, books and china vie for space. A Cajun-themed bathroom off the kitchen is roofed with Roman tiles. Out the kitchen door are a shade garden and the path to Col. Bourgeois’ studio. Here are more souvenirs of a life filled with music and travel. Two large portraits of the owner dominate the space. Old instruments, sheet music, sound equipment and computers fill the room. A large collection of Napoleonic soldiers camp# here. Fern Springs Farm The final house of the 2004 House Tour is Fern Springs Farm, home of Emerson and Helen Williams, an old log cabin built just after the Civil War. Its simple form, nestled under an enormous oak tree, and anchored on a large rock represents the plain and simple country life in Rappahannock County. A wide-roofed porch shades the 10-inch thick doorway to the two original rooms, which display the log cabin structure with wide hand-cut unfinished ceiling joists, small deep set windows and an interior wood paneled wall. Two comer cupboards filled with Waterford crystal, collections of pewter and blue and white china, and many paintings and etchings fill the room. The old kitchen, now a sort of study, features books stacked to the ceiling and baskets hanging from the beams. Upstairs are two bedrooms, with the original staircase sandwiched between the joists. Both rooms show the steep pitch of the tin roof. Old English and American chests, quilts, and photographs brighten the spaces. The dining room downstairs, a large light filled room, is part of a 1963 addition. The windows look westward to the fields and hay barn. Paintings, mostly by Rappahannock artists, fill the wall space. Robin Purnell, Tanya Richey, Geneva Welch and Martin Woodward are all represented. The kitchen/breakfast room is part of the latest addition in 1990. It is filled with books and ceramic pieces, a collection of needlework and other interesting artifacts. A large oak hutch, with etched glass doors, built in 1896 came from Helen Williams’ home in Philadelphia. Outside the gardens are simple and old-fashioned. One farm shed has been made into a bunkhouse for the couple’s 12 grandchildren. Stone walls, split rail fences, old fashioned garden ornaments, and the ferns and spring of the farm’s name, complete the farm scene. Brookside Restaurant & Gift Shop U S. 211 E.
