A parcel of this size could support the building of a village that would be larger than all the villages in the county put together. By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County has become an island of rural life in a sea of development as the phenomenal growth of the Washington metropolitan area has swept past it to West Virginia and Pennsylvania turning some neighboring counties into overcrowded, car-clogged disaster zones. Though the pressure of Washington expansion has been a constant since the end of World War II, the combination of the war on terrorism and the aging of the babyboomer generation created an outmigration in the past two years unrivaled since the Vietnam War. In a range of public meetings and private interviews over the past several months, Rappahannock County leaders and members of environmental and planning groups have expressed growing concern about how to maintain the county's rural ambiance and stable lifestyle. Phil Irwin, who came to Rappahannock County in 1961, At a Glance This is one of an occasional series of articles examining the changing real estate scene in Rappahannock County with skyrocketing land values, development pressures, and. buyers outbidding one another for property, formed the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and has been a student of land development for over 45 years, won’t call the situation an emergency, “but we know the threat is all around us and growing everyday.” The threat may be even larger than Irwin imagines: The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments says the number of jobs in the region will increase by 550,000 this decade, 75,000 this year, but the number of homes will rise by only 312.000 This has driven middle income Washington area families to go so far as Pennsylvania and West Virginia to find affordable housing, according to a Washington Post analysis. This flow of human beings is only prevented from settling in moderate income housing in Rappahannock County by its zoning laws. At the same time, the babyboomer generation, born 1944, 1945 and 1946, will be reaching retirement over the next several years, selling valuable homes in the Washington area and in many cases seeking rural and small town life in Virginia. While Prince William. Loudoun and now Fauquier counties have ballooned, and fast growth has reached around to Warren County and the Shenandoah Valley, Rappahannock has remained rural. In 2003, the population of the 267 square mile county was estimated at 7,110, a little over 30 percent of the 222,000 population See LAND, Page A8 As land values rise— one Rappahannock lawyer thinks they are now at $19,000 an acre in many areas— it could induce even the most environmentally committed landowner to sell and a national buyer, like Centex, might consider it worth the legal fees to challenge the county’s zoning laws. ■ v Photo by Brook Clore PARADE: Lauren Payne, 8, rode in the Madison County parade last month with her mother, Wanda.

Lauren Payne was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome when she was two-and-a-half years old. Rett Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that affects only girls and only about one girl in every 15,000. Lauren’s symptoms include daily seizures, lack of muscle control, and the inability to talk. Knowing how much her daughter would enjoy riding in the parade, Wanda Payne of Gid Brown Hollow in Sperryville entered Lauren in the Little Miss Sperryville Carnival Queen Contest. The candidate who sells the most tickets by Saturday will win. Tickets are $1 and are available by calling the Paynes at 987 8780 or 987-8226. More importantly, the Washington Baptist Church started a fund to buy a van with a lift to transport the, 70-pound child who is becoming too heavy to easily move in and out of a car. Wanda’s father, the Rev. Albert Payne of the Maranatha Baptist Church in Amissville, located a van at Settle’s Garage in Flint Hill. Unfortunately, the $7,500 price tag was beyond the Payne’s budget. Upon hearing about their difficulty, several concerned residents asked the Washington Baptist Church to help. “We all have challenges in life, See PARADE, Page A8 Tractor turns over, pins Washington farmer Quick response by nephew and his daughter saves life of Jim Lee By Briar Suzanne Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer After a tractor accident last week that nearly crushed him to death, 71year-old Jim Lee of Washington remains at Fairfax Inova Hospital in critical but stable condition. Around lunchtime on Wednesday, Aug. 4, as Lee rode a tractor on a hilltop near his home on Fodderstack Road, Bryant Lee, his nephew and partner in Lee’s Orchard, along with his 16-year old-daughter Brittney, painted a bam roof down below. A sudden, loud noise made the two look up, just in time to see a big, heavy tractor turn over and pin Jim underneath. “We just happened to have our four-wheeler with us,” said Bryant, “so we raced up the hill about 100 yards or so to see what had happened.” A tractor wheel had snagged on a rock, causing the entire piece of machinery to flip over onto his uncle. "I left Brittney with Uncle Jim to calm him down, and I went down the hill to get the big tractor,” recalled Bryant in an interview. “I used the forks to lift the rear end of the tractor off of him, and we pulled him out from underneath. We were able to do all this in about seven or eight minutes.” Staying calm in an unusually stressful situation—the gearshift had also punctured his uncle’s leg— Bryant then performed CPR on his uncle in an effort to regain a pulse while the trio awaited the arrival of the rescue squad. Help arrived quickly, and members of the Washington and Flint Hill rescue squads worked to stabilize Jim. “In the meantime,” noted Bryant, “Sperryville and Amissvilj.? worked to make a landing area at the Flint Hill fire hall for the AirCare helicopter that was on the way.” Jim was flown to Fairfax, where he was treated for massive internal injunes, including two collapsed lungs, cracked ribs and severe internal bleeding. He also had his spleen removed. Jim’s niece, Caro.yn Lee. says he lost several liters of blood and there was initial concern that his intestines were ruptured. “He is so strong to have made it through this,” said Carolyn. “He was up on that tractor doing what he loved. He is a magnificent person and we are all hoping he pulls through.’ The family immediately banded together to help Jim do just that. “All of the nieces and nephews have beer; to visit him,” said Carolyn. “In fact. See TRACTOR, Page A7 66 He is so strong to have made it through this. He is a magnificent person and we are all hoping he pulls through.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The deaths of two Virginia Army National Guard soldiers in Afghanistan last Saturday brought chills of fear across the state and in Rappahannock County. These first serious casualties suffered by the Virginia National Guard involved Staff Sgt Craig William Cherry, 39, of Winchester and Sgt. Bobby E. Beasley, 36, of Inwood, W.Va. They and their Afghan interpreter were killed in Afghanistan only a month and a day after men and women from Virginia took over a U.S. Marine assignment in the ancient city of Ghazni, some 140 miles southwest of Kabul.

Waddell, 24, is a medic stationed in Ghazni. Jason Watson, 25, of Washington, Va.. is an infantryman also stationed in Ghazni. The Rappahannock News was unable to reach his wife. The 570 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 116th Infantry Regiment were called to active duty last March and deployed to Afghanistan in July where they took over for Marines in a sector around Ghazni. The initial assignment was to secure the area for reconstruction and protect the country’s first national election since it was freed from Taliban control in 2001. “The soldiers along with their Afghan interpreter were Patti Waddell, a biology teacher at Rappahannock High School, said her son Joshua Waddell managed to call her in the predawn hours Sunday to reassure her that he was alright. conducting a security patrol in support of voter registration,” when the attack came said Army spokeswoman Master Sgt. Ann Bennett. A reporter-photographer team with the Roanoke Times embedded with Company C of the 3rd Battalion reported that the three were riding in the lead vehicle of a convoy about 11 a m. Saturday when a bomb struck their armored Humvee. Another Virginia Guardsman was wounded and is in stable condition and expected to return to duty, the newspaper said. The Roanoke paper quoted battalion commander Lt. Col. Blake Ortner as saving the deployment '“takes on a whole newr meaning at a time like this.” The Roanoke paper said “Guardsmen at Camp Ghazni and Camp Tiger prayed aloud when they heard about Saturday’s casualties." The report said that 1st Lt. Steele McGonegal. executive officer of Company C. asked God to welcome the warriors and grant them eternal rest. He praised their courage, hailed them as Virginia sons and led his fellow soldiers in reciting the Lord’s Prayer aloud. History of 116th Historically the 116th is recruited heavily in western and southwestern Virginia. This is its first deployment as a unit since World War II when it was part of the 29th Division. Deaths in National Guard units are often doubly poignant since the soldiers come from the same towns and areas. The 116th lost the most men from the same town in World War II when 21 young men from Bedford, Va., died in the landing at Omaha Beach or shortly thereafter.

Why? One reason is that he made a commitment to Spc. Beasely’s wife that he would keep him safe on this tour, and he couldn’t leave his fellow soldiers. Sgt. Cherry was recently married, and leaves behind a brand-new baby girl. Spc. Beasely was an outstanding country gentlemen. He was extremely committed to the unit, his anti-armor platoon, and to his fellow soldiers. Spc. Beasely went out of his way to make every one around him feel good with some good-natured humor, and lending a hand with about every project that was out there. He was the ultimate representation of what you’d expect an American soldier to be. Freedom and the right to vote are what these two proud soldiers died for. They were on their way back from a mission that helped secure voter registration sites. In Afghanistan, registering to vote means taking your life in your hands. I believe that in the United States, some of us take for granted our freedoms and rights. Honor their memory, register to vote, and never forget the sacrifices of the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our right to vote, freedom of speech, and to keep and bear arms, are the cornerstone of our great country. Sgt. First Class Patrick Gleason HHC 3/116th Infantry Fire Base Bedford Ghazni, Afghanistan his son had joined the .National Guard after attending high school in Virginia. He said his son was set to retire from the guard, but could not due to the war. He said his son leaves behind a wife, two teenage daughters and an eight-monthold son. “I never thought this would happen." the elder Cherry said, "and it hurts. It hurts bad." Cherry said his son was glad to go because of the young guardsmen in his unit. “These kids I’m taking over there don’t know what they’re doing," Cherry said his son told him. “Unfortunately, he was the first one killed,” Cherry said. “My son, he’s one of the best. There’s no way around it.” Families of the guardsmen gathered at the Winchester Armory Sunday to comfort one another. The dangers of the deployment became clear to many families after the weekend. Waddell said her son is not allowed to discuss the “missions” he and his buddies conduct. Ghazni is Afghanistan’s only remaining walled town; a 13th century city on the crucial Kabul-Kandahar highway that has been a strong point in the Russian-Afghan war 20 years ago and for the British in the 19th Century.

The Virginians are deployed in three locations: Camp Tiger, outside Grazni, Camp Grazni in the city and a small group is at Bagram Airport in Kabul to keep supplies rolling.

Elvis is back in the building! Impersonators show on Aug. 21 to help kidney fund By George Rowaxd Rappahannock News Staff Writer Who wouldn’t want to go see (impersonators of) Elvis, Neil Diamond, Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly, especially when it’s all for a good cause? That’s the opportunity the Piedmont Dialysis Patient Fund is presenting music lovers on Aug. 21 at Culpeper County High School. The funds collected will go to help offset the expenses incurred by dialysis patients in Warrenton and Culpeper. “Dialysis patients have needs for extra funds, to pay for medications, transportation to and from the dialysis centers, even for firewood and fuel,” said Dr. Ken Kometsky, coordinator of the event, and a local doctor of nephrology, which focuses on diseases of the kidneys. “Most of the costs of the dialysis itself is paid for by Medicare or the insurance companies,” Kometsky stated. “But everyone has medication needs, whether it’s for highblood pressure medications or medications for cholesterol, and because kidney failure is a chronic illness, maintaining a full job is difficult.” Three times a week For those who don’t know, dialysis is the process whereby a patient’s blood is cleaned of impurities by machines. It’s called for when the patient suffers from full or partial kidney failure. Currently, 300,000 patients are undergoing dialysis nationwide, and 60 in Warrenton. “Most patients have dialysis three times a week, while some are twice a week, and there are even some who come in only once a week,” Kometsky explained. “In addition to kidney failure, many patients are also suffering from other diseases like diabetes and high-blood pressure.” The doctor stated that the dialysis centers in Warrenton and Culpeper are constantly on the lookout for grants to help defray the incidental costs associated with the disease. “We try to get grants from other sources, but you always seem to have more needs than the grants will pay for,” he said. The struggle to help dialysis patients with their financial obligations led Kometsky and others to found the Piedmont Dialysis Patient Fund. “Contributions and charity were sporadic,” he explained, “and we needed something more acute. In the 1980s, Big K radio sponsored a yearly radiothon for dialysis, and we took in over $100,000 in 10 years.” But eventually Big K left the local scene, and that led to other measures. “We had a Southern rock band donate its services, we had people donate pigs and barbecue services, and finally, four years ago, we incorporated and got a tax ID number. “We’ve had a number of successful events and raffles, and this year one of our patients is an Elvis fan, and he kept saying that we should bring in this impersonator from Virginia Beach. They have a combined show that they put on, and well have refreshments and memorabilia for sale, and hopefully, we’ll make a few dollars. "The important thing to remember about this fund is that, after expenses, 100 percent of the money we raise goes to patients. There are no administrative expenses,” Kometsky added. “This fund helps a lot of people who may not qualify for grant programs. A lot of people live check to check, and they might need medication at the wrong time of the month. It’s a very costly disease. “And if they can’t afford to take their blood pressure medicine or their cholesterol medicine, they’re the diseases that are going to get them. “The fund is not to pay physicians, not to pay the dialysis unit,” Kometsky continued. “It’s to pay the extras, and those extras are very important.” ahow time The show calls itself, “The Pioneers of Rock,” and it is scheduled to run from 7:30-11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21. The Culpeper County High School is located at 14240 Achievement Drive, off Route 229, in Culpeper. The admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 12. Dialysis patients can come in for free. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance at the Warrenton Dialysis Center, 170 West Shirley Avenue in Warrenton, phone number '540) 341-7547; at Bluemont Nephrolog>T. 406 Hospital Drive in Warrenton, phone number (540) 347-5696; and at Culpeper Dialysis, 430 S.

Special to the Rappahannock WwThe Virginia State Champion Girls' Softball team, composed of seven girls from Rappahannock County and seven from Culpeper, wound up its attempt at the national championship in tears Monday night after losing to Florida, 5-2, in the Southeastern Regional Tournament. The girls, 13 and 14 years of age, their coach Earl Mills, two assistant coaches, and virtually all of their parents made the Florida trip after scrambling for local support when the Culpeper Junior League All-Star Softball Team won the state championship last month. “It was a right smart experience for those little girls," said Coach Mills in an interview after the games. "I wouldn’t trade 'em for the world.” The Florida trip included three games. The team needed to win two of the three in the regional contest in order to win a trip to Washington state for the national finals. However, they lost the first game on Saturday, won the second Sunday, and lost by 52 Monday night to a team from Ft. Myers which was pble to fill the small stands with supporters. Culpeper gave it a fight until the last inning, down by those three runs. They got a runner on base, but the hopes for the national championship went down when a two-out pop fly landed firmly in a Florida mitt.

They had been in the war zone only a little over a month and the sudden death surprised their comrades and their families at home. War for the 3rd Battalion of the 116th Infantry Regiment had suddenly become very real. The National Guard is a great American institution that traces its history to the Minutemen of Lexington and Concord. It is Sunday picnics and emergency flood service and two week’s training every summer and money for college. It is ah American institution, the citizen soldier; a neighbor who has taken up arms to defend his family and ours. It is, of course, also war in remote places. President Lyndon Johnson was often criticized for not calling in National Guard units during the Vietnam War. A lot of men and women in the Guard served with distinction as individuals in Vietnam, but Johnson, the consummate American politician, was worried about calling up the Guard. It meant that his actions would be scrutinized by state legislatures and governors and by many people remote from the costs of the Asian war. He knew that in his native Texas and many states the Guards were in a sense the children of the state. President George W. Bush inherited a military force after the end of the national draft far more dependent upon the National Guard than it was in the 1960s and he has activated hundreds of thousands of guards in the war on terror, Afghanistan and later Iraq. Whether that will be a political mistake will play out in coming elections and American history. But Lyndon Johnson was right about one thing, the guardsmen are the children of their state. The two men who died, Staff Sgt. Craig William Cherry, 39, of Winchester, and Sgt. Bobby E. Beasley, 36, of Inwood, W.Va., leave families and loved ones. The lives of their families and comrades will never be the same. Our lives are less for their passing too. When we are playing with our children or sleeping undisturbed in our homes at night, we should say a prayer of thanks that these young sons of Virginia were willing to leave their homes to protect us.

Bush) in 2004’ I voted for George W. Bush for President of the United States in 2000. I will not vote for him in 2004. The first reason is that he misled (at best) the citizens of the United States about the invasion of Iraq. Yes, the intelligence about weapons of mass destruction from the CIA was not entirely accurate, but George W. greatly exaggerated it, in public statements. Yes, Saddam H. is a horrible person. But that does not justify the invasion of Iraq. Second. George W. and his advisors had absolutely no understanding of what we would be faced with after the obvious military victory. This is completely unexcusable. We could be paving for this for decades. There are additional reasons not to re-elect George W. Bush, but these two are completely sufficient to vote for someone else. The idea that we are (by invading Iraq) “bringing democracy to the greater Middle East" is totally ridiculous, no matter what Paul Wolfowitz says. Also, as the 911 Commission said, Iraq did not have any involvement with the 9/11'01 attack on the U.S. The administration (vice president) is still claiming (or strongly implying) that Iraq was involved. I am not a “peacenik,” a pacifist or a partisan Democrat. If I thought that invading Iraq was in the best interests of the United States, I would support it. I do support the U.S. going into Afghanistan in 2001. I wish that George W. would “imitate” Lyndon Johnson and not run for reelection. We need a different president (of either political party) who can take a fresh look at the Iraq situation without needing to defend past mistakes. Jim Warwick Flint Hill ‘Company 4 extends heartfelt thanks and recognition to all’ At the beginning of many books, the author offers a » long list of acknowledgements in gratitude to those who contributed to the final product. Flint Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company recently completed its 50th annual carnival, which shattered fund-raising records of recent years. The list of those whose contributions made the event such a success is justifiably hefty - and ought to be required reading for all who, while carrying heavy loads as volunteers, occasionally wonder if the community is really behind them. Nancy Jones outdid herself with truck raffle ticket sales, bringing in approximately $19,000, all while carrying her own heavy load - a task to which she has arisen for years and years. Settle’s Garage once again provided all raffle tickets. Dale Welch donated a fine Angus heifer which brought in hundreds of dollars in raffle ticket sales. Carnival Queens, Raven Baker, Brooklynn Phillips (Little Miss), Kathryn Crawford (Junior Miss), and Sherry Woodward (Honorary Fire Chief 1st runner up), turned in over $11,000 in cow and truck ticket sales, with Raven Baker graciously emerging as 2004 Honorary Fire Chief, having sold tickets worth more than $5,000. Jimmy Compton took a day off of work to help mark roads and the parking area, although he’d already done his part by bush hogging the grounds. Jeff Leake and Aaron Morris provided carpentry services for the ever-popular Bingo stand, then refused payment in lieu of a few chances to win the truck. On parade night, Flint Hill's Sunnyslopes, owned by James Burke, provided the staging area for dozens of vehicles an,d groups. Red and Janet Hofer answered a last minute call to ferry the Grand Marshal] in style as he led the parade. Chief James R. Dishner, President of the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association, drove from Williamsburg to serve as Grand Marshall, accompanied by Mrs. Dishner, then turned right around and rushed home for other official duties. Kena Temple brought their minivehicles to delight paradegoers, as area groups twirled, played, and marched proudly in the colorful procession. Inners Events provided rides, refreshments, and games that set the tone for the muchloved summer tradition, and the company staffed the event with polite and dutiful men and women who were a pleasure to be around. Wayne Blosser devoted long smoky nights to feeding the happy crowd, upholding his honorary title as “Chicken Man.” Jeremy Miller and Blair Atkins stepped up to the plate - or rather, the pool - when they spontaneously volunteered to become dunking booth targets, raising significant funds for the fire company. The Boy Scouts provided another year of outstanding sendee parking cars and welcoming guests to the carnival. And loads of volunteers— Richard and Mary Ann Krammes, David Riedel, Ed and Patty Marcey, Paul and Kathy Russo, Ray and Sherry Holland, Kel Achenbach and Howie Swaim, to name a fraction of the faithful—kept the games, bingo, food, and fun rolling four nights in a row. The Rappahannock Sheriff's Department provided a full complement of deputies who provided safety education and kept a watchful eye on the event’s cash operations, escorting the funds to a safe location each night. Crowning the event with their usual flair were members of the Ladies Auxiliary, who added their sweet concoctions in the bake stand as well as hours and hours of legwork and service in the cookstand, assisted by longtime member Alice Pullen, now in her early 90s. The Culpeper, Amissville, Castleton and Marshall fire companies deserve special recognition for forfeiting their chance to be judged in the parade. Along with Flint Lfill firefighters, they raced from the lineup to douse blazes sparked by lightening in nearby Chester Gap. At midnight on Saturday, the pickup truck was won by a very happy woman from West Virginia, the heifer was won by a man from Front Royal, and weary volunteers packed up their supplies to head home. Within a day, the carnival grounds returned to their pastoral state. A week or so later, when the company assembled to review the event, it was abundantly clear that Flint Hill boasts a remarkable community, rich with humanity, humor, and heavy lifters Company 4 extends heartfelt thanks and recognition to all. Monica Worth, President, and the men and women of Company 4 Kudos! Bravo to Holly E.

Warrenton: An ‘exotic’ destination? Local businessman looks to open topless restaurant on Main St. By Karen Chaffraix Rappahannock News Staff Writer Glenn Payne placed the classified ad in the Fauquier Times-Democrat last Wednesday. He'd asked to use the word “topless, but the paper wouldn't go for it. “Exotic dancers needed." the ad read. “New Club opening in Warrenton. Must be over 18, physically fit and outgoing personality." On Monday, Payne said his phone’s been ringing off the hook. “Eleven women and three gentlemen signed up for interviews,” he said. Another guy wants to manage it. And a whole slew want to be partners. One caller wanted to know the opening date; he said he and his buddies were tired of driving to West Virginia. Town of Warrenton Director of Planning and Community Development Chns Mothershead has been on the phone too, Payne said. "He's giving me some trouble." Payne has yet to formally apply for a business license, but he's had conversations with town officials. According to Payne, the conversation with Mothershead went something like this: Mothershead: "You can open a restaurant, no problem. However, if your wait staff is not clothed, then the town will take measures to shut you down.” Payne: "Well, what is the town’s clothing regulation?" Mothershead: “The town has no clothing regulation." Mothershead denied all that yesterday, with a bit of a muffled chuckle. “We spoke in generalities,” he said. "I asked him to file a proposal or request a zoning permit. L ma 1 “I told him that unless a use is specified, it's not allowed. We don’t have adult-use categories in any of our districts.” Mothershead said that the normal procedure for any new business would be to apply for a business license on the first floor of the Town Hall. A long-term approach By George Rowand Rappahannock News Staff Writer ■ Robert Engel goes back a long way in the investing business. “When I was 20,1 got a job in Washington, DC,” Engel remembered. “I was making $1 an hour. I was working for the Orvis Brothers, the last of a partnership that started in Louisiana in the cotton business. I started out as a chalk boy, putting up the highs and the lows of the day on a chalkboard.” Fast-forward about 40 years and now Engel is running his own independent stock brokerage firm on Culpeper Street in Warrenton. “I do trading,” he said, “but today I tend to get more people that are retirement-oriented. My focus now is on easing the pain that’s going to happen in the future for college and retirement.” Seen it all With his history, Engel said he’s seen it all, from a stock market that was going nowhere in the 1970s to the go-go days of the late 1990s. “In 1974 you couldn’t give away (stock in) RCA, and that was yielding 8 percent in dividends,” he said. Engel said he came by his interest in stocks at an early age. “My mother slipped on a stoop in 1954 and she was laid up,” he remembered. “She was bored and started to look for something to do. “One day at a cocktail party, someone . asked, ‘By the way, what are you doing for investments?’ We do savings bonds,’ my mother said. What about stocks?’ the person asked. ‘Aren’t they risky?’ my mother replied. “Then she started getting the annual reports from a number of companies, and at the age of 15, I put aside the comic pages and bought Barron’s. “Then I started buying mutual funds, which were new to the investment business, and I thought, wouldn’t it be nice for me to do that for other people?” According to Engel, the brokerage business was a different animal indeed in those days. Most people — like his mother — thought of stocks as risky and they tended to avoid them. 'The phone didn't ring for me in those days," he said. “I got into the business at the age of 21, and I started cold-calling people. I didn’t go to my friends at first because I didn't want to put pressure on them. “I was in D.C. for 41 years, and I came down here to Warren ton four years ago." At first Engel tried to commute to his job in the District, but that proved too enervating. So last December he made a change. “I decided to go on my own, become independent,” he said. "Now I have a five-minute commute to my office.” And the atmosphere in the office definitely is more casual than before. "The only tie I’ve had on since I've been here was for a dear friend's funeral and for a wedding," he said. Planning for the future “I have empathy for people in the market," Engel explained. “I've been there. I want to be able to help the people who have fear of the market in general.” Engel said that emotion tends to rule investors. , “In general, people buy at the top of the market and get out at the bottom." he said. “I’m here to help them take a longerterm approach, which is seeking to help them have more patience than they do today, whether it's for retirement, college for the kids or for a better tomorrow than today."

Glenn Payne Part of the application requires obtaining a zoning permit. As there is no “adult-use" zoning, explained Mothershead, “Payne will need to apply for rezoning, or for a text amendment which would provide for adult uses in some form or another.” Payne said he’s hit a roadblock with the town since the ad came out. “They want to categorize it as ‘adult-use,’ “ he explained, which is not on the town’s list of businesses that can be licensed. “The town absolutely does not want this,” Payne said. “A lot of people probably don’t want it. But supply and demand should make the deci sion ultimately. If it is unpopular and it doesn't make money, then I close down." “I'm not going to deny anyone due process." Mayor Fitch said on Tuesday. "But." he added. "the possibility of anyone establishing this type of business in the community is nonexistent. "It's a matter of laws and ordinances of this community. This is not only not permitted, it's prohibited " Payne said he plans to hire a well-known law firm in D C that specializes in First Amendment cases. He said he's trying to secure the space at 52 Main Street. It's 5.000 square feet on an upper level, over an antique store. "I'd have to totally renovate it.” Payne said He wants to emulate “a place in Crystal City. It's a classy place." he said. "Or as classy as that business can be." Payme said he envisions "a miniature Vegas. "It will be a restaurant with a stage." he said. “We want to do a lot of shows." Yes, there will be "partial nudity," he said. Toplessness, specifically. "But this is not a brothel," Pavne asserted “That’s not the intention." A husband and father of a 2-vear-old boy. Payne said his wife supports him in the endeavor, although he said she's shy "This is not something she would do." he said. Payne. "Culpeper bom and raised.” former proprietor of Payne Auto Service in Warrenton. said he's had this idea for a long time. "And now I have the means." Payne's thinking of calling the establishment Hunt Country Restaurant, “to represent the region." he said. Payne said that if the restaurant cannot feature topless waitresses he isn't interested in doing it at all. "If it's not possible, then I'll think about another business that Warrenton doesn’t have." Newlyweds Mark and Debbie Smith were chatting at The Earthly Paradise on Main Street Monday when asked to contribute their thoughts What would they think about a topless restaurant0 From the husband came a hearty laugh, but his wife's face froze in horror. "Warrentons never going to go for something like that." the husband said. “They about never got a Wal-Mart in here "Besides." he added. "There's not enough parking."

Inspiring Tfiaiigfit& by Randy Minter OUT OF RESPECT When mummies dating back about three millennia were recently discovered in the Scottish Isles, questions were raised about the ancient view of preservation of remains. Motives concerning the preservation of human corpses vary according to time and place. In ancient Egypt, citizens were mummified with the goal of gaining an eternal life. In the Andes, the bodies of Inca emperors were preserved so they could continue to play key roles in society. In Japan and Tibet, holy men were mummified and revered ancestors were preserved for eternity so they might be consulted on important community matters. Ancestors from prehistoric Britain were mummified out of respect for their protective powers and ability to intervene with the gods. Our rituals define us and contain us; they give form to the meanings of our lives.

Douglas Kyle Boggs, 29, of Mechanicsville, Va., was traveling up the mountain toward Thornton Gap when he lost control of his 2001 Suzuki GSXR-1000. Boggs crossed over into the eastbound lane and hit a guard rail. No injuries were reported, and Boggs left the scene on his motorcycle. An investigation by the State Police concluded that Boggs was traveling between 30-40 m.p.h. in a zone where 25 m.p.h. is the posted safe speed. “We’re trying our best to enforce safety on the mountain," said Trooper Jerritt Medley. ‘We are working closely with the sheriff"s department and the Virginia Department of Transportation to address this issue and prevent future accidents.” So far this year, there have been nine reported serious motorcycle accidents on this stretch of road. Two of them were fatal. Tractor From Page A1 everyone has been so kind to ask about Uncle Jim. We really appreciate it.” Carolyn credits her brother Bryant and his daughter Brittney with saving Jim Lee’s life. “They are the true heroes in all this,” she says. Taking a more modest view than his sister, Bryant credits the emergency responders on the scene with saving his uncle’s life. “I want to thank all the fire departments for doing such an excellent job,” he said. “They were all very fast and efficient, and we are thankful they are a part of this community." At press time, Jim was in critical but stable condition, in the trauma intensive care unit. He is expected to be there for at least another week, maybe ten days. “It’s a slow improvement but we are hopeful that the outlook is good,” said Bryant.

Land From Page A1 of nearby Loudoun County which has only twice the land area. Land prices skyrocket This combination of pressures has caused land prices in Rappahannock to skyrocket, making one-time peach and apple orchards worth millions of dollars. John V. Lyle, an 84year-old former fighter pilot, sold a 1,466 acre series of tracts this summer for $10,767,350 some $7,400 an acre. The buyer was Virginia Property Group, LLC of Gladstone, Va., a company about which nobody in county government seemed to know very much. Alvin Henry, a land surveyor and a member of Rappahannock County’s Planning Commission said he worried some buyer of a big tract like Lyle’s may choose to “test” Rappahannock’s zoning law which requires a minimum of 25 acres to build a house. County Administrator John McCarthy said in an interview that he doubted that the buyers of Lyle’s property had plans to try to force greater density on the county. He had heard the buyer was considering selling top scale homes located on 50 and 100 acre tracts, but he acknowledged at some point the 25-acre rule may face a committed developer. Even at the 25-acre rule, a full development of the Lyle property would create some 60 homes and, Irwin pointed out, could force the county to build the middle school it has discussed. The school enrollment in Rappahannock has been steady at a little over 1,000 youngsters for years. Review of land records The Rappahannock News reviewed county land sale Alvin Henry, a land surveyor and a member of Rappahannock County’s Planning Commission said he worried some buyer of a big tract like Lyle’s may choose to “test” Rappahannock’s zoning law which requires a minimum of 25 acres to build a house. records for the first seven months of 2004 and found sales including Lyle’s of 10 properties for over $1,000,000, several of them with significant acreage. But Henry claims it is not what has sold, but the large parcels that remain unsold that is of concern to him. In its survey of land records, the News found some 34 parcels of land in excess of 300 acres, many of them held by some of the most prominent names in the county. The largest parcel in Rappahannock County is owned by Lane Industries, a Northbrook, 111. firm that controls some 7,500 acres in the Route 522, Route 231 area. A parcel of this size could support the building of a village that would be larger than all the villages in the county put together. Henry called it the “sword hanging over all our heads,” as planners consider the county’s future. By comparison, the Centex Company of Texas has proposed to build 774 residential homes, 188,000 square feet of village retail/commercial space and 210,000 square feet of employment space on 1,754 acres of Culpeper County. The project, which can be moved forward without any consultation with Rappahannock County will tax Rappahannock's water supply, fire and rescue services and the roads that serve the two counties. County landowners But other combinations of Rappahannock landowners have very large parcels. Michael and Antonia Massie control over 1,000 acres. Louise Fletcher Eastham has some 2,500 acres and Mildred Slater has some 1,327 acres. As the land values rise— one Rappahannock lawyer thinks they are now at $19,000 an acre in many areas—it could induce even the most environmentally committed landowner to sell and a national buyer, like Centex, might consider it worth the legal fees to challenge the county’s zoning laws. Having passed the county’s five-year Comprehensive Plan last month, the Planning Commission this fall is beginning a series of hearings on the issues of development in the county. Among the subjects to be examined are the nature of people who are buying land and an examination of the boundaries and growth possibilities of the villages including the Tbwn of Washington. Another question posed by Planning Commission member Charles W. Strittmatter was to invite members of other planning boards in counties with less growth controls to see how they might have structured their laws differently. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors last month set a goal of trying to reduce Fauquier’s annual population growth rate. Fauquier has some 60,000 citizens. Parade From Page A1 but some more than others,” says the Rev. Phil Bailey of the Washington Baptist Church. “We at the church are glad to provide the opportunity for our community to help Lauren have a better quality of life as she battles this debilitating disease.” The church has started a fund to purchase the van. He adds, “your support in this cause will be greatly appreciated.” Donations, with a note that they are for the Lauren Payne fund, may be sent to the church at 180 Gay St., Washington, Va., 22747. A typical day Lying asleep on a recliner in front of the television, Lauren looks like a typical, healthy child who has crashed after a day of swimming and outdoor activities. Her golden blond ringlets cascade around her slightly sunburned face and shoulders, and bright red polish glows from the small toenails of her bare feet. Barbara Payne says her grand daughter loves the water and spent the day before at the pool. In contrast to her appearance when she is asleep, Lauren is barely able to support her head, and the pillow by her side keeps her upright. Her breathing comes in rapid, labored gasps, but after several minutes, she relaxes and her smile and expression says that she loves life and feels fiAe. Wanda Payne, 28, with help from her parents, cares for her daughter. It is a difficult job as Lauren needs constant supervision: she is totally immobile, experiences five to 20 seizures a day, and is on oxygen at night. Her fine motor coordination is so poor she is unable to open a plastic bag or move food from her hand to her mouth. Wanda, in shorts and with her hair pulled back in a pony tail, reflects the adoring beams her daughter sends her. Lauren is unable to speak but communicates volumes with her intent gazes. “Even though Lauren can’t talk to you, you can look in her eyes and know what she wants. She can’t say the things that she probably wants to say, but I know she loves me with her special look.” Entering RCES A single mother, Wanda moved from Madison County to her parents’ home in Gid Brown Hollow in May 2003, and last fall Lauren entered second grade at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Throughout the school day, a trained aide, Sandra Neibert, accompanied the wheelchairbound student in a mainstream second-grade classroom and to physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Wanda says she had to fight to get her daughter into a regular classroom, and it has paid off with the many friends Lauren has made with the children and staff. Wanda was initially concerned that the children might not accept her daughter. “By second grade most of the kids know each other. They’ve made friends. I worried, “What are the kids going to think of her?’ They were awesome. It’s like second family for her at school.” “She’s come a long way,” Wanda says. “But I know as » she gets older, it will be harder to keep her in a regular classroom.” Lauren is unable to read or do arithmetic and when the class work got too difficult, Ms. Neibert found other activities in the younger classes for Lauren to join. “It’s a hard struggle wanting your child to be as normal as possible and getting others to realize how important that really is. My goal for Lauren is for her to do as much as possible, to keep her happy, to incorporate as many normal activities as possible, so she’s not sitting off by herself in a comer in a wheelchair. I don’t want that for Lauren. Yes, she has a disability, but there’s still a little girl inside there. She has exceeded so much that I never thought she could. She is so strong. Lauren has made me who I am.” Lauren’s birth was normal but by her first birthday, Wanda sensed her daughter acted too socially isolated. A number of doctors were undecided about what was causing her developmental problems and suggested she suffered from some form of mental retardation. When Lauren was two and-a-half years old, a doctor in Charlottesville suspected Rett Syndrome and referred her to a neurologist at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. A newly developed blood test confirmed the diagnosis. “We’ve been living in Rett world ever since,” Wanda says. The prognosis was that Lauren would live only several years more. The realization of what lay ahead shook Wanda. ‘The first years were a tragedy. I don’t want to say it’s ever gotten easier, but as a parent you learn how to deal with things. I’ve seen Lauren fight hard. She’s been in the hospital so many times.” Serious downturn In 2002, Lauren took a serious downturn and entered a hospice program. Make-AWish Foundation, which gives terminal patients their wishes, gave her a trip to Disney World. “And then, it was like she made almost a 90 degree turnaround. She did so well, hospice decided to sign her off a few months later. She’s made progress ever since then,” Wanda says. But Wanda is well aware of what lies ahead. “It’s not like a disability that as you get older, it gets a little bit better. As Lauren gets older, it will get much worse. “That’s when you look at life from a different point of view,” said Wanda, who herself is seeking a nursing career. Lauren has settled into a sort of plateau where most girls with Rett Syndrome remain for most of their lives. The stage is marked with seizures and lack of coordination, but also a new interest in their surroundings, an increase in attention span, and improved communication. The final stage comes on rapidly and brings muscle weakness and curvature of the spine, but no decline in awareness or communication. These women may live to be 25 but rarely much older. “As long as Lauren can have as much a normal life as possible, and I know that I have made every day for her as happy as I possibly could have made it, I think I will be at peace. When the time comes for Lauren, I know I’vet been a good mother.” V Oil Select Models m Pontiac • GMC

The price is $2,800 and it is 30" x 38" framed. Middle Street Gallery hosts watercolor show The Middle Street Gallery in Washington is hosting a watercolor exhibit, featuring local artist Carol Lumier Baliles, through Aug. 26. The show runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entitled “Unity into the Future,” the show is a retrospective exhibit from 1975 to the present. Paintings are from both the artist’s private collection and those of her clients. Baliles will be on hand each Sunday during the exhibit to talk with attendees about her art. This is the first of many planned showings of Baliles’ paintings from the last 30 years. “Some of my paintings are very bold with strong colors,” says Baliles. “Others develop into very strong inspirational white light ere ations.” Baliles describes her work as semiabstract realism, and notes that “watercolor is one of the most difficult mediums to work in because it demands precision, determination, concentration and instant decisions.” In watercolor work, the colors are molded and blended into white paper for a striking effect. According to Baliles, the pencil is the foundation, and the color is the outward expression of the artist. Baliles was formerly an assistant art director at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in historic Old Town Alexandria Her work has been in more than 60 exhibitions and has earned awards and selections from notable curaUrs. She currently keeps her studio in Old Town Alexandria.

Back-to-school thongs worry moms By Annk Kf.isman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Silper-efficient parents have already begun their back-to-school rituals - scouring area retail establishments for book bags, calculators, pencil cases, thongs. Thongs? Nope — not a typo. Parents shopping the sparkling aisles of new Super Targets in Northern Virginia and other Target stores may have noticed a “Back-toSchool" section at the front of the store - featuring Hello Kitty thongs. And Betty Boop thongs. And assorted bunny rabbit and froggy thongs. mm The “scanty panties," as they were first called by the original purveyor, Frederick’s of Hollywood, are prominently displayed next to toys and other items clearly aimed at young girls and boys. “I don't think it is right for a family-oriented store," said Sandy Presgraves, a Leesburg parent of four “They’re being socially irresponsible." Not true, says Target spokeswoman Aimee Sands. The target audience is not young girls, Sands said, despite where the items are placed in the store and featured in ads. “Hello Kitty is quite popu Shillelaghs THE TR AV EL CLUB Sampling of Trips: IRELAND.

But the design itself-a picture of Hello Kitty waiting to get on a school bus - suggests a fairly obvious marketing strategy. lar with the 20-something set,” said Sands, adding that the back-to-school display is also targeted to college-age students. For those not in touch with the latest underwear innovations, a thong is ... completely beyond my powers of description. Let’s turn to dictionary, com. Thong: n. a garment for the lower body that exposes the buttocks, consisting of a narrow strip of fabric that passes between the thighs supported by a waistband. To be fair, the thongs in Target range from size 5 to 10, suggesting that they aren’t intended for little girls. But the design itself - a picture of Hello Kitty waiting to get on a school bus - suggests a fairly obvious marketing strategy. 'They’re trying to create a trend. ... maybe I won’t bring my kids to that store if they have displays like that,” said Presgraves. Thongs have a practical use, of course - to avoid panty lines when a woman wears closely fitting skirts or pants. But popular culture has appropriated them into the modern fashion. Another Leesburg mother, Tracy Donnelly, was so shocked by the display, she bought a few thongs (intending to return them) and stood outside the store, asking mothers what they thought. \! ihc home Freeman Dr \mixx\ille diem HI'S Ki in Warrenum to Rt 21 1 V\ approx Smi Suhdix ixmn is in right. iiavsx from Brown's Salvage Yard Sit nx will mark field parking ahoxc auction xiic. follow xignx/ Rrex tew dux «*1 auction Irom s oo,-\M PihhI and taciltiicx on xiic h is Ihc law of you park on a public road, tv sure tirex aic s»l"l ihc road Pleaxe he careful VI.RY PARTIAL LISTING: secretary bookcase: OAK L ARKIN SIDP.

Then she asked the manager what he thought. According to Donnelly, this is what he said: “Ma’am. Ma’am. We’re told where to place merchandise. Ma'am. We follow floor plan procedures sent to us by our corporation." The thong attained national notoriety in 1998, when Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's report came out detailing the president's nefarious love life. "In the course of flirting with (President Clinton),’’ the report states, “(Lewinsky | raised her jacket in the back and showed him the straps of her thong underwear, which extended above her pants.” And with that, the garment became part of our national archives. But the peak of the underwear’s popularity came in 2002 when onehit-wonder band Siqo came out with the “Thong Song”: “I like it when the beat goes Duh dun duh Baby make your booty go Duh dun duh Baby I know you wanna show Duh dun duh That thong thong thong thong thong.” Lately, Americans have become more sensitive to popular culture’s obsession with sex. Remember Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the Super ,Bowl last year? Now, do you remember the score of the game? Thought so. Thongs have been the subject1 of controversy before - most notably when Abercrombie & Fitch began selling them for girls ages 10 to 16 in 2002. with slogans like “eve-candy" or “wink wink” written on them. Parents were outraged then - but the demand must be there for big-box retailer Target to display them prominently in the front of the store. Presgraves said she would be OK with Target selling them, if they weren't sold in the front of the store, next to toys and clothing for little girls. “They should be in the lingerie department,” she said. This fall, look for the recent trend - political thongs. A new lingerie company. Cotton Sisters, sells thongs with Democrat/Republican printed on them. Maybe these unmentionables will provide a public service after all. — Lynn Wolstenholnie contributed to this article. Obituaries Irene W.
