No. 34 Photo courtesy/ Shenandoah Carriage Company. LLC YESTERYEAR: Visitors to historic Washington and residents will be able to ride around town in a horse-drawn carriage next month when the Shenandoah Carriage Company begins offering rides in this carriage on Friday nights. through town in a By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News StafT Writer Horse-drawn carriage rides through historic Washington will be available to townspeople and visitors every Friday night through the month of September, beginning Sept. 3 from 6-10 p.m. The rides are offered by the Shenandoah Carriage Company LLC of Front Royal. The Washington Town Council is agreeing to a trial run for a month after which both the town and the carriage company will re-evaluate whether the rides will continue. If so, the carriage company would want to commit to a standard Friday night schedule through the peak leaf season—through November. A proposal was brought before the council at its monthly meeting last Wednesday by Linda and Art Winder of Front Royal, who are owners and operators of the carriage company. Art Winder is also the senior driver and Linda Winder is the footman/grounds crew. Linda Winder, who did the presentation, told the council they have over 20 years experience raising, training, riding and driving horses of all breeds. “The last five years have been devoted to putting this business together and running it,” she said. “From the beginning, our goal has never been to give carriage rides. Our goal has been to create a lasting memory,” she told the council. She said they chose to bring their business to Little Washington because of its history and they thought “it would be an interesting addition to the history of the town.” Winder said she has gotten a good response from some of the owners of the town’s bed and breakfasts who thought their guests who were planning to dine at the Inn at Little Washington would enjoy rides to and from the Inn. Cost of rides The price of a carriage ride through town is $25 per person, according to the proposal. A trip from a B&B directly to the Inn or from the Inn back to a B&B is $10 per person; and $30 if they would like to include a drive through the town as part of the trip. The perfect route for the carriage ride through town, as the Winders see it, is a two-block circle, which includes Main Street to Porter Street to Gay Street circling back around to the front of the Inn at Little Washington, about a 15 j minute drive. They may also be asked to pick See CARRIAGE, Page A10 Supplemental pay unlikely for deputies It is quite a blow to realize that we are not considered important to this county... The seven women deputies By Nicholas M. Horrock . Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said in an interview Monday that he will recommend a longevity pay arrangement for the deputies of several of the county’s Constitutional Officers, but is unlikely to back a $4,000 per person pay supplement. McCarthy was asked by the Board of Supervisors in August to review whether seven county employees of Constitutional Officers should receive the same pay supplement and longevity allowances provided for the sheriff's deputies. He said the issue is still under review and he expects to make a recommendation in September. The cost to the county of the longevity pay for these seven employees is being studied. McCarthy acknowledged that his recommendation may not satisfy the employees and the Board of Supervisors may choose to override him. McCarthy said the $4,000 pay supplement provided on July 1 for sheriff’s deputies reflected the county’s desire to retain employees that it paid to send to training school and can lose to higher paying law enforcement jobs in nearby jurisdictions. He said the other employees of Constitutional Officers did not have to be sent to a training school and were caught in a low pay scale because Virginia sets pay limits by the population and Rappahannock is a small county. “The only county in our area that is this size See DEPUTIES, Page A7 Grant money for county to improve college enrollment Residents are trying to change supervisors’ vote on road By Nicholas M. Horrock Rappahannock News Staff Writer Warned that paving work on Grimsley Road could begin as early as September, opponents of modernizing the country lane have begun a “last ditch effort” to persuade the Board of Supervisors that its vote to override the opposition was wrong and a waste of county funds, several residents said.

Horrock Rappahannock News Staff'Writer The Headwaters’ organization and the Rappahannock County public schools have received a $3,500 grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to start planning for a “college access program” that would provide for the appointment of a college counselor and lead to scholarship funds, the School Board was told at its meeting last week. Rappahannock public schools, with this initial planning money, will compete with others in the state to be chosen for the program. Superintendent of Schools Robert Chappell said if the county were chosen for the Cooke foundation “college access program” grant it would provide funds to pay a college counselor and improve students’ chances for finding and obtaining scholarship money. The high school reported that 67 percent of the 2004 graduating class said they intend to pursue further education and members of the class of 2004 won some $200,000 in scholarships for further study. Amy Silver of Headwaters, who prepared the grant application, said winning of this planning See GRANT, Page A7 Virginia's population graduates from high school at rates higher than the national average, but attends college at rates below the national average.

The VWGA competition is the oldest in the Commonwealth of Virginia and features 40 Virginia wineries entering 235 wines in 29 different categories. It is considered one of the most prestigious and respected events among nonprofit wine organizations on the east coast, and of the 235 wines entered in this year’s competition, only 18 were awarded gold by the VWGA’s panel of professional wine judges. “We are absolutely thrilled and honored to be recognized like this for our Vidal Blanc,” says John Delmare, owner of Rappahannock Cellars. “We constantly strive for perfection in our wines, and to be singled out with a gold medal by the VWGA really confirms our efforts and fuels our drive to maintain a leadership role in the Virginia wine community.” In addition to the gold medal for its Vidal Blanc, Rappahannock’s 2003 Chardonnay was awarded the silver medal, and the 2003 Cabernet Franc, Seyval Blanc and Viognier were each awarded the bronze medal. Recognizing the promise in Virginia wines, Delmare moved his family’s winery from California to the Blue Ridge Mountains. With careful tending of the vineyard and exacting knowledge of the cellar, Rappahannock Cellars strives to create rich, supple and elegant wines dedicated to the winegrower’s art at this innovative, state-of-the-art winery. Rappahannock Cellars is on the historic Glenway Farm in Rappahannock County.

Education Farm-toTable program Cultivating students who are good stewards of the earth By Rixikr Mei.lo Special Ui the Rappahannock News Students of Rappahannock County High School, teachers, and local farmers and community members are preparing for the second great season of the Farm-to-Table Program. In January 2004, with generous support from the Cole Family Foundation and a number of community growers with backgrounds in education, the Farm-to-Table Program was launched as a partnership with Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Education Foundation. With plans on the drawing board to re-establish a Future Farmers of America chapter supported by the Bill Young Memorial Fund, the future looks very bright for Rappahannock’s youth to learn important lessons and skills about sustainable agriculture in the county - both its past and its future. Farm-to-Table grew into a fun and challenging project for students in David Naser and Karen Alexander’s horticulture class last semester. Within four months, students had built 13 raised beds, planted over 60 trees on the high school grounds, grew lettuce, herbs, and beets for the Culinary Arts’ Gala, “Dinner for the Hood,” propagated herbs, revamped the school’s blue-and-gold garden, and sold trees, potted plants, and vegetables at the Sunnyside Fruit Stand. “We bit off a lot when we jumped into the project, but with 16 students and some real hands-on learning, we made it happen,” said Trista Scheuerlein, program coordinator. The mission of the Farm-toTable program is to cultivate students who are good stewards of the earth and productive community members through hands-on experiences and classwork in sustainable agriculture. Mary Arthur’s culinary class cooks the food that is grown and donates meals to the Rappahannock County Senior Center. The seniors occasionally come and harvest, each bringing stories of their own gardens past. The rest of the produce will be sold by students to teach small-scale marketing skills. Students not only grow food and maintain the beds constructed by last year’s horticulture class, but they also develop and maintain certain landscaped areas on school grounds, propagate and grow native landscape plants, leam the economics and marketing of a small scale business, and host a school-sponsored annual plant sale. There will also be opportunities to visit and work on local farms. Monte Christian and Ben Verrill were the first summer interns and they maintained GOOD EARTH: Students of Rappahannock County High School and community members work together preparing a garden and planting ' vegetables as part of the . i Farm to Table program l launched early this year. It ' aims to help students learn ■ important lessons and skills about sustainable agriculture in the county. * Photos courtesy | Farm to Table program the garden site through the summer months, “ft was a fun job. I didn’t like getting up early but you got to do that," said intern and rising senior Monte Christian. “We hope to integrate classrooms from all disciplines-horticulture, culinary. building trades, science, economics, and even art and English classesinto the outdoor classroom space of the garden. A garden is a great tool for learning and inspiration-think of how many poems have been written about nature and you can understand why a space like this could benefit the entire school." said Scheuerlein. A program like this may prove to be especially important in a traditionally agriculturebased community. To lose the basic skills of growing and raising food would change the face of Rappahannock County Students will hopefully gain an appreciation for fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables and come to understand the value of our local food system. Donations from community members are welcome for items such as native and perennial plants, straw bales for mulch, manure, short-handled digging forks, work gloves and rubber boots in varying sizes. Broken tools are also gladly accepted for repair and use by the students. For more information on the program visit the Rappahannock County Public Schools website at wwvw.rappahannock.kr2.va.us If you are interested in learning more about the future plans of the Farm-to-Table program or you want to become involved, please contact Trista Scheuerlein at 987-8312 or email farm2table@hotmail.com. ‘Hearthstone launches ‘Sponsor a Student’ program Hearthstone School recently began a new program called “Sponsor a Student-Foster a Dream,” which pairs community sponsors with specific children receiving financial aid from Hearthstone. Rather than giving general donations to the school, these sponsors provide tuition assistance to a specific student, and may receive regular reports on the student’s school activities, progress and accomplishments. Sponsors will also be invited to school functions and special events, and are encouraged to become active members of the community. Additionally, since different families are in need of different amounts of aid, there is a donation amount, or percentage of sponsorship, which should fit any sponsor’s giving ability. Both sponsors and financial aid recipients may choose to remain anonymous. Sponsors who do not wish to remain anonymous will be listed on a special page of the school’s website, at www.hearthstoneschool.org. Hearthstone School, a local kindergarten through grade 12 private school based on the Waldorf Method of education, is Evening adult GED classes have begun General educational development (GED) classes for adults in Rappahannock County have already begun; however, it is not too late to join and earn a GED in the evening. The program utilizes distance learning, a new forum for adults who find it impossible to attend class in a traditional classroom setting. All classes are held in the basement of the Rappahannock Library. An appointment with Regional Adult Education is required prior to enrollment in the GED program. In general, you must be 18 years old and out of school to take the GED. In some cases, exceptions are made for persons aged 16-17. This is also part of Governor Warner’s state initiative called “Race to GED.” The goal of the program is to contribute to the state’s economic development by doubling the number of Virginians passing the GED test by Dec. 31, 2005. For more information, or to make an appointment, contact Regional Adult Education at 8250476. located in Sperryville. Hearthstone’s arts-based, integrated curriculum is based on an holistic vision of the child. Respectful regard for the sanctity of the individual is taught. Expectations for learning are developmentally appropriate. It r is part of a small but growing community dedicated to the education of children in a nurturing, creative and safe environment. Hearthstone’s goal is to be available to all families, regardless of income. Twenty-seven percent of Hearthstone’s annual operating budget is used for the financial aid program, and 14 out of the 50 students enrolled at the school receive some form of financial aid. All students needing financial aid are required to apply and be approved for aid based upon the financial aid guidelines already in place. A copy of the guidelines will be provided to sponsors. Once approved for aid, families are placed in this new program. Potential sponsors are encouraged to visit the school, and meet students and teachers. For more information, call (540)987-9212.

They are the deputies of several Constitutional Officers of the Rappahannock County government. When we need to check a land deed or a court case, we might meet Peggy Ralph, a deputy Circuit Court clerk. If we need assistance from the Commissioner of Revenue’s office, Betsy Murray, a deputy revenue commissioner is likely to step forward. Unlike some of the big county offices in Northern Virginia, our reception will be helpful and courtly. In addition to their government jobs, these women are all county residents, neighbors, church acquaintances or the mom next to us at a soccer game. To those of us who go into county offices with regularity, we know they are there winter and summer, hard snow and slippery road days and sunny ones as well. Despite their skill and sometimes 10, 20 and 25 years of experience, what some of us may not know is that they are some of the lowest paid members of the county government. There are a lot of reasons for this, none of them really very good. One reason is that Rappahannock is a small county and under their assignments in offices of Constitutional Officers, the scale is dictated by Richmond. Richmond in its wisdom designs these scales on the population of the county. Our county, with 7,110 persons, is ranked with rural counties down in Southwest Virginia and not counties a stone’s throw from Washington, one of the highest cost of living centers in the nation. The other reason may simply be the squeaky wheel syndrome. Nobody stood up for these women over the years. Sheriff Larry Sherertz, also a Constitutional Officer, stood up for his 25 sheriffs deputies, winning them a $4,000 supplementary payment to augment their salaries and winning in 2001 a longevity payment plan. The women on his staff are primarily dispatchers and jail matrons and not out on armed patrol. Other county employees, not covered by Richmond rules, have been better paid than the seven women. Throughout these years, the Board of Supervisors could have done what they did for the sheriff’s deputies; they could have voted to augment their pay. This is a small county and it is not fair that a woman jail matron working a few hundred yards from a court clerk should be paid so differently. In addition to being a small county, Rappahannock is a rich county with land values 10 times those in Southwest Virginia and revenues that grow every day. We believe the Board of Supervisors should act to approve supplemental pay and equal raises and longevity awards for these seven women at its September meeting. Company 7 appreciates community support Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad Company 7 would like to extend its appreciation to the community for its support during the 211 Quickie Mart car washes held June 23 and July 17. Special thanks go to Paul and Cookie Baldwin for withouj^their generosity, the event would not have been possible. Because of everyone’s contributions and continuing support, the community can continue to count on Company 7. If you want to join, we are always looking for volunteers. Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, Company 7 Letters ‘I would hate to see the newspaper turn into a tabloid’ There used to be a time not so long ago that I could buy the Rappahannock News and actually read about events or people in Rappahannock. Last week there were two articles about outside counties and quite frankly, outside of my interest. There was an article about a citizen in Fauquier County that would like to put a topless restaurant . in Warrenton. The exact same article was in the Fauquier Times-Democrat. I can understand if it is a worthwhile story of substance that will affect my family and neighbors then yes, please, write about it or borrow it from another paper. However this story was about a restaurant that Warrenton apparently will prohibit, so where’s the story in that? Particularly in Rappahannock, we all know it would be impossible for that type of restaurant here, so it’s not like he’ll try to move in on our county. The second article I’m referring to is the one about Target stores selling thong underwear near the school supplies. The closest Target is about an hour from here. I don’t shop there anyway. But for the people who do, if this bothers them, perhaps they can contact the manager of customer service. Let management know that thongs are not on the necessary school supply list for Rappahannock and would they please place them back in the ladies’ intimates section. Instead of glorifying the wearing of thongs for young girls, it may have been worth mentioning that wearing this type of underwear can cause bacterial infections, for obvious reasons. Like it or not, fashion designers are placing characters like “hello kitty” on thongs to market them for pre-teens. How about an article on must have school supplies. Does Target sell Jansport book bags? They are guaranteed for life. Even if the zippier breaks from stuffing way too much in it, Janspxirt will replace it or refund your money. They are a little pricey but worthwhile. My son carried the same bag 9th-12th grade. You cant beat that. Would you consider placing more weekly articles in the paper? Like have an education comer. The high school is offering great new classes this year for our kids. And Spanish will now be taught in the elementary school. Perhaps interview the teaching staff on different occasions and I’m sure they would have interesting information for a section such as this. How about a career comer? Interview the citizens of Rappahannock about their careers so that our children will have an idea of professions within our county and what they may want to pursue and gear their education toward. How about a junior journalist comer? Have students of the area submit articles, maybe focus on a different grade each week. How about a recipe comer? Use the foods we have in season around the area. Perhaps borrow some ideas from the local restaurants. How about a pastors corner? We have so many wonderful churches in the area. If the pastor of each church submitted one article, that would be a blessing. This could be our “advice column.” I would hate to see the newspaper turn into a tabloid. Between the topless restaurant and the thong underwear, you covered most of the body last week, or not covered I should say. Most of the Rappahannock citizens would like to keep the county clean and beautiful without too much interference from outside counties. Let’s keep the newspaper the same way. Connie Reid Machete Montgomery Sperryville Editor’s Note: We publish stories from other papers in our newspaper chain or “family” such as the Fauquier TimesDemocrat that we feel are of interest to our readers in Rappahannock and the other papers run our stories too. The most arduous physical challenge I’ve ever faced’ This may come as a huge shock to some people who know me and a much bigger shock to my system, but I’ll be participating in my first marathon, the big one: The Marine Corps Marathon being held in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 31. That’s 26.2 miles, count them, 26.2 miles. During this grueling six-month program I plan to log in over 500 miles. My head spins just from my typing the words 500 miles. But it’s all part of the National AIDS Marathon training program, which raises money for the Whitman-Walker Clinic, i the leading provider of AIDS services in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Despite recent advances in the treatment of AIDS, the epi- i demic is far from over. I’ve ] learned that now more than 400,000 Americans have died 1 from AIDS and thousands more become infected each year. Worldwide, the numbers i 1 ‘Mr. Pullen is an example for us all’ After reading the article by Preston Huey in the Aug. 5 edition of the Rappahannock News, pertaining to the rape trial of Roy Pullen, several things comes to mind. First of all where is the evidence (after 25 years) that leads Ms. Huey to believe that this act actually happened. Second, how can she say that Mr. Pullen is the same man he was 25 years ago after being clean of alcohol for 22 years. Mr. Pullen is not asking for or expecting any awards for being good to his neighbors and friends. He just has a kind heart that lets him help anyone who needs help. He is an example for us all. Helen Cave Boston A thank you I want to thank Preston Huey for her letter in the Aug. 5 edition of the Rappahannock News. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. All is to be forgotten of the crime committed 25 years ago, because Roy Pullen has been a lifetime resident of Rappahannock County. It seems to me some people have forgotten the person Roy Pullen was 25 years ago. I have not forgotten, nor will I ever forget. I, too, am disappointed in the verdict. Deborah Lacy Washington ire even more staggering: 21.8 nillion people have died and mother 36.1 million adults and :hildren are currently living vith HIV, the virus that causes MDS. This is no longer what vas once believed to be an isoated killer but a non-discrimilating destroyer of innocent ives that bare no conscience. The money raised through he program will allow the Vhitman-Walker Clinic to proride advanced drug therapies, nedical care and other imporant services to help keep peo)le ahve until there’s a cure. This is why I am commitad to raising at least $1,700 jefore Aug. 31. I’m asking for r'our support. Any donation you nake to help me meet my goal would be appreciated. You can visit my website at www.aidstnarathon.com Runner #2569 to make a donation on my behalf. This program is certainly the most arduous physical challenge I’ve ever faced. Thank you for supporting me in this incredible undertaking. When I hit the road on Oct. 31 to complete the Marathon, I’ll know you helped me and many others along the way making each mile that much more rewarding.

Community thanked for success of summer workshops As the new Executive Director of Headwaters, I had the opportunity to visit some of the Summer Enrichment Workshops sponsored by Headwaters a few weeks ago and was truly impressed. Printmaking, drama, dog grooming, tile making, basket weaving, stained glass and mountaineering were just a few of the creative and fun workshops offered. The results of these classes included frames adorned with colorful mosaics and glass beads, beautiful candles, delicious tacos, exquisite baskets, and an amazing program presented by the mask making workshop and this was only part of week two. There are a lot of incredibly talented kids in this county. Over 140 rising second through seventh graders, representing Rappahannock County Elementary School, Hearthstone, Wakefield, Highland, and home schoolers, participated in 24 workshops over a two-week period. Kudos to Suzanne Zylonis and her dedicated group of volunteers (Lucille Niessen, Pam Stewart, Helen Williams, Sally Havstad, Diane Moore and Teresa Light). Their organization and energy was wonderful. Suzanne assembled an experienced group of instructors, many of whom have been participating in the Summer Workshops since they began. Thanks go to Harriette Rosenblatt, Mary Arthur, Heather Self, Jim Treadway, Beth Wellemyer, Peggy Schadler, Patti Brennan, Monika Bracken, Jean Elizabeth, Andrew Haley, Michelle Phillips, Linda Tarry, Laura Schadler, Wendy Sirah and Ed Wayland fore their hard work and commitment. These teachers were ably assisted by a group of interns, many of whom are alumni of the program, including Katie Payne, Kendra Hitt, Devin Day, Clay Vickers, Meagan Smith, Ry Wellemyer, Caitlin Brennan, Rocia Loya, Katherine Crawford, Kate Kevis and Mattie Nawrocki. All of this could not have happened without the help of the Rappahannock County public schools; bus drivers Chris Keyer, Robin Frye and Lois Ames; and the very generous sponsorship of the Rappahannock National Bank, Nedpower, and the many, many members of the community who all helped to make the Summer Workshops 2004 such a huge success. Paige Coombs Executive Director Headwaters ‘Bush has received an unexpected break from the unlikeliest of places’ Now that we are all finished picking our jaws up off the floor after Gov. Jim McGreevey’s one-of-a-kind press conference in New Jersey, it is worth taking stock of what this extraordinary development might mean for the 2004 race for president both in and out of the Garden State. McGreevey’s resignation speech was repeatedly called “courageous” on television, and we are still chuckling over a cable news anchor’s instant analysis that the people of New Jersey would be so sympathetic that they would rise up and demand he withdraw his resignation and serve out his term as a proud gay man. (Yep, she really said approximately that, in a “question” to the correspondent following the developments in Trenton.) A prominent print journalist also told us that in his bigcity newsroom, gay and lesbian reporters stood and applauded as McGreevey joined The Cause, or at least appeared to. This is deep blue America’s reaction to McGreevey’s announcement, perhaps, but it is wildly unrepresentative of red America, or even swing-state purple America. Let’s get one thing “straight” from the beginning. This is not about gay rights. Some of our most conservative readers certainly will not agree, but we at the Crystal Ball believe that gay and lesbian Americans deserve all of the same rights and responsibilities of citizenship as the heterosexual majority, including the privilege of serving in high public office. But Jim McGreevey is another matter entirely. Instead of courageous, we would choose another “c” word to describe his speech: clever. The governor wrapped himself in the rainbow flag of gay rights to cover up some most unappealing warts. ‘Stench of corruption’ First, his administration has been surrounded by the stench of corruption almost from the beginning, and there is certainly more to come. Second, the people of New Jersey seemed to smell a rat virtually from the beginning of his term. McGreevey has been consistently unpopular, so low in the polls that few would have bet that he would even have been nominated by the Democrats for a second term. Third and most important, McGreevey has led a governorship of personal sleaze. He has intentionally used two older women—his wives—and two younger women, his daughters, as props to cover up his double life. Thanks to our correspondent Steve Wells, we were reminded of the ironic New Jersey tourism ads from the past two summers, with McGreevey holding his current Crystal Ball Larry Sabato wife and their daughter at the Jersey shore, while exclaiming, “Come out and see what’s new in New Jersey.” Folks, you just can’t make this stuff up. As the truth unfolds, it will be abundantly clear that McGreevey’s homosexuality was no recent revelation to him, but rather has been his norm in a long political career that could fairly be described as one long deception of the public for his own personal gain. Some details, if revealed, are sure to shock even the cynical among us. McGreevey’s corruption, deception, and sleaze are well illustrated in his outrageous decision to appoint his male lover, an Israeli citizen, to a critical, intelligence-sensitive, and extremely well-paid post in homeland security. The taxpayers funded his extramarital relationship, not unlike the infamous 1970s case of Congressman Wayne Hays of Ohio, who put his mistress, Elizabeth Ray, on his payroll as a secretary despite the fact that, as she later revealed, she could not type. (A powerful committee chairman, Hays was forced out of his chairmanship and eventually Congress as a result.) All this should be obvious to any clear-thinking person. What may not be obvious is the effect of the McGreevey scandal on the presidential contest. There are two major consequences, one within New Jersey and the other national in its reach. New Jersey situation Laughably, McGreevey declared that his resignation would be delayed until Nov. 15 in order to ensure a smooth transition. One doubts that the transfer of power in a single state—95 days under McGreevey’s schedule—must take longer than the national transfer of power from one president to another—eighty days should Keriy win the White House. Instead, McGreevey and his democratic associates were trying to prevent a special election for governor on the same day as the presidential election, which would have occurred had McGreevey stepped down by early September. By sticking around, the disgraced governor can pass along the statehouse to a Democratic crony, the state senate president, and a whole year will pass before the regularly scheduled election, allowing an easily distracted public plenty of time to forget this massive embarrassment.

But the Republicans are now demanding McGreevey’s resignation be tendered by early September, which would put the governorship and the presidency on the Jersey ballot simultaneously. It is unlikely they will succeed, since they have no real leverage. The legislature is in Democratic hands, so no impeachment will be possible. Still, the GOP goal is to remind voters on a daily basis of McGreevey’s failed governorship, in an attempt to generate a backlash that might help Bush. With Kerry ahead in the Garden State by at least 10 percentage points, the only chance for Republicans to carry the state for Bush is to make Kerry a surrogate for McGreevey, using both their shared party label and association with gay rights. The Crystal Ball’s assessment: good try by the GOP, but it won’t work. New Jersey is an eastern Illinois, once very competitive in presidential elections and otherwise, but now so deeply anti-Republican that voters will tolerate incredible shenanigans by the Democrats. Remember the Democratic party’s late substitution of exSenator Frank Lautenberg for the losing incumbent Senator Bob Ibrricelli in 2002? It worked. The voters swallowed that arrogant gambit whole, and the Democrats kept the Senate seat in a near-landslide. The national situation After McGreevey the Democrats may have New Jersey locked up, except in the very unlikely case of a Bush landslide, but the Republicans can squeeze some advantage out of the messy McGreevey matter in some of the key battleground states. Here’s how. As of now, it appears that there will be referenda in 11 states on the subject of gay marriage, held simultaneously with the November presidential election: Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, and Utah. Notice that this includes the swing states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Oregon. Missouri has already had its referendum on primary day, Aug. 3, and the results were stunningly one-sided: 71 percent in favor of keeping marriage between a man and a woman, only 29 percent in favor of permitting same-gen der marriage. We’ll bet the referenda pass everywhere, even in liberal states, and by large margins in most places. This helps George W. Bush. For one thing, it stimulates gigantic turnouts by conservative Christians, who overwhelmingly favor Bush’s reelection and whose absence from the polls in large numbers may have cost Bush the popular vote in 2000. (Gays will also have record voter turnouts, but the numbers aren’t there in most states to match the increased conservative participation. ) Second, this hot-button social issue has the potential to equal the emotion being generated by Iraq. Just as Kerry benefits from the anti-Iraq fervor, so too will Bush profit from the gay marriage issue. Of course, it’s true that Kerry also is opposed to gay marriage, but most voters know that gay and lesbian groups are fundamental constituencies of the Democratic party, that Keriy is from Massachusetts where the current gay marriage controversy began, and that Kerry’s 19-year Senate voting record is strongly pro-gay rights. Gay marriage is but the symbolic cover issue that wraps around the gay rights issue cluster. Rightly or wrongly, most voters think that the march towards gay equality is progressing too rapidly and comprehensively, pushed by unelected judges and unbridled judicial power. For a majority of voters, certainly, gay rights is not the alpha and omega of politics in 2004. As Cheryl Jacques, executive director of the Human Rights Campaign, commented in the New York Times on Aug. 14, “[MJost people don’t wake up in the morning thinking about gay and lesbian marriage or any gay issue. They wake up in the morning thinking about jobs and health care and the war in Iraq.” Still, for a sizable segment of the voting population, gay rights and gay marriage rank highly on the list of salient issues. Gay marriage in particular is proving to be a prime motivator of the anti-Kerry, pro-Bush vote. This surprises most of the press and campaign corps, concentrated as they are in the liberal enclaves of Washington and New York. But it is a fact, and an inqreasingly vital aspect of this election year. The Crystal Ball’s assessment: unintentionally, McGreeveys scandal has helped to raise the prominence of gay rights on the campaign 2004 agenda across the nation.

Bush, playing into the ballot initiatives on gay marriage in crucial swing states. Oddly, then, McGreevey’s coming-out is proving to be a coming-down for John Kerry. Our overall conclusion is that Bush has received an unexpected break from the unlikeliest of places. At the same time, we continue to see Iraq, the war on terror, and the economy as issues of greater Kilgore: The road to the governor’s office By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore, who’s now running for governor, paid a visit to Warrenton on Monday. His first stop was at Legends Restaurant. Local attorney Merle Fallon had orchestrated a fund-raiser luncheon where Kilgore got to meet several local businessmen and elected officials. “I think we raised between $10,000 to $15,000,” said Fallon. “We had about 40 people there — not bad for a small group.” Kilgore, a Republican who will be facing Democratic Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine in the November election, was making the rounds as part of an extended summer tour that was taking him to several stops in Virginia. “We’ve got several issues that we want to focus on,” said Kilgore. “Economic development, public education and public safety. And, most importantly, being decisive about quality of life issues that affect all Virginians.” Legal victories There was a recent settlement between several states (including Virginia) and music distributors and retailers following allegations of illegal conspiracies to artificially inflate the price of compact discs. As a result, his office is overseeing the delivery of some 138,000 CDs, valued at more than $1.8 million, to various public and private institutions. Since he took office in January 2002, one of Kilgore’s focus areas has been public safety. He introduced new laws — which took importance for most voters as they decide their presidential ballot. Thus, the New Jersey bombshell is no doubt a welcome development for Bush’s campaign managers, but the president needs some good luck where it counts more—economically and internationally—if he is to win a second term. Larry J. Sabato is a professor and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

Kilgore said, “We’re seeing more and more signs of gang activity, as far south as Danville and west into Radford. Our office does a lot of partnering with Boys and Girls Clubs across the state, reinforcing our anti-gang message. Education Kilgore, who has two young children in the public school system, said he is keenly aware of the educational challenges that counties face. “I believe that the state has an obligation to help districts,” said Kilgore. “Our bonds still have an Aaa rating, and we have the capacity to issue more to help local school systems with construction needs.” While not undermining the importance of strong educational programs and challenging curriculum, Kilgore sees the value of learning in modem spaces. “They need to be learning in new buildings with all the latest technologies. “Some districts never get the dollars they need,” added Kilgore, who is submitting a proposal to the state General Assembly that will focus on school construction needs across the state. Kilgore also applauded Virginia for initiating the Standards of Learning. photography Portraits on Location Household Insurance Inventory Small Products Restorations Advertising & Public Relations Carl Zitzmann Photography • 937-6430 • czphoto@erols.com The Piedmont Dialysis Patient Fund Presents I -Elvis -Neil Diamond a -“Roy Orbison -“Buddy Holly Featuring Celebrity Impersonators from VA Beach including Jim Smith “The Elvis Fan Club Favorite Sat., August 21,2004 7:30 pm-11 pm (Doors Open at 6:30) Culpeper County High School 14240 Achievement Drive, oft Rte 228 Admission Adults $10 Under 12 $5 T K*ets De purchased at the doo< or *n advance at .3 ’SSSS4 s All Ages Welcome!

Baby black bear seen on side of road near Thornton River The most unusual thing happened Wednesday afternoon of last week. I was headed toward Laurel Mills on Route 729 going up the long hill that starts as you cross the Thornton River. About halfway up the hill, I saw what looked to be a large dog ahead.

Dizzie was on my lap, and I showed her the bear. She shot up like a rocket and almost jumped out the window trying to get to the bear. The bear became very frightened and ran over to a small tree which he climbed as fast as he could. It was not a very tall tree, but he went as far up as he was able.

Rappahannock home and land transfers this week These Rappahannock County home and land property transfers were recorded in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court Clerk's office for the week of Aug. 6-Aug. 13. To find transfers in other Northern Virginia counties, visit www.timespapers.com. IPlease note that only the first Deputies From Page A1 is Clark. The other small counties are in the south and southwestern Virginia. An $18,000 a year starting salary is pretty good in southwest Virginia,” he said. “But it’s not competitive here. “Frankly many of these employees have fallen very low on the salary scale,” he said in an interview, and their salaries are not comparable to similar employees in large counties which created their own scales for all their employees and do not differentiate. He said the county has struggled to maintain parity in part by offering a very strong health benefits program. Grant From Page A1 money would require a major commitment to go forward by Headwaters, the Rappahannock County public education foundation, and other private parties. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation was set up by the wealthy late owner of the Redskins’ football team to “help young people with exceptional promise reach their, full potential through education.” The foundation issues traditional scholar person named as the grantor or grantee is listed.) Hawthorne Stanley Martin Berns to Joel Polin and wife, two acres. $57,500. Jackson Joan Brown Doores and McCarthy believes that the loyalty of the long-service employees should be recognized and will back a longevity formula. But Sharon Dodson, a deputy revenue commissioner, said the problem is deeper than just longevity recognition. She said under the current pay formula, an employee who became a deputy treasurer two months ago makes more than she does. Dodson said she has over two decades of service to the county in a full time or part time capacity. The issue arose last July when it was announced that the county would provide a $4,000 supplemental payment to some 25 male and female sheriff’s deputies. The pay would go not only to deputies on road patrol, but to dispatchers and jail matrons who work at headships to students in college and lower schools and has a special fund for the families of the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the foundation recognized a special need in Virginia for a “college access program.” It reported that “well over half the low-income students who score in the top quartile on standardized tests never set foot in a four year college.” According to Cooke’s report, Virginia’s population graduates from high school at rates higher than the national average, but attends college at rates below the national average. The foundation said the husband to Joan Brown Doores and husband, 7.2886 acres. $0. Stonewall Gail B. Filyo to SmithHeritage Investment Group, 29.191 acres. $425,000. Wakefield Arthur J. Piszca and wife to quarters. The sheriff’s deputies also receive a reward for longevity which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 5, 2001. Employees of the county’s other Constitutional Officers complained to the Board of Supervisors that it was unfair treatment. “It is quite a blow to realize that we are not considered important to this county simply because we do not cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars and that we have chosen to commit ourselves to our profession,” they said in a written statement provided at the Aug. 2 Board of Supervisors’ meeting. Seven women employees are affected: Peggy Ralph of Wakefield District, Lisa Welsted of Jackson District, ratio of guidance counselors to students is 355 to 1, and “given their many responsibilities, guidance counselors often have little time to assist students with planning for a post-secondary education.” The foundation will invest $1 million through the end of 2005 “in helping build college access programs” in five Virginia counties. Called the Virginia College Access Network (VCAN), the foundation is working in conjunction with the National College Access Network (NCAN) to help craft the programs.

Another county official who asked not to be quoted said that several employees had left in recent years and it may have been caused by inadequate pay. Welsted, a deputy Circuit Court clerk was hired two and one half years ago and Samantha Williams, a deputy treasurer, joined county government two months ago. Cindy Sumner has been with the county three years. assist students get into and pay for college. The Cooke announcement said the VCAN network is designed to: • Increase the number of .traduating seniors who enroll in a post secondary institution. • Provide need-based scholarships to a number of these students. • Improve the ability of Virginia students to understand their college aid options and to plan appropriately for continuing education after graduation. • Assist students in the college application process.

Sports Piedmont Softball Association team hosts Maryland A I -T-. T By Mauri Payne Special to the Rappahannock News In the first of what may become an annual Mason-Dixon slugout, the Piedmont Softball Association 18 and Under AllStar team hosted the Maryland State Champion 18 and Under All-Stars for a double-header recently at the newly-constructed Babe Ruth softball diamond in Amissville. The day, Saturday, Aug. 7 proved to be a perfect one to play softball: Beautiful skies, very low humidity, and temperatures between 75 and 80 degrees for the afternoon. The Maryland team came ready to play ball; the week before, they had completed league play with games nearly every day and a tournament at home to finalize their regular season. The Virginia Babe Ruth State Champion Piedmont team, on the other hand, had been idle since early June, with the exception of the Southeast Regional tournament play in Live Oak, Fla., on July 16 and 17. The first game was won by the Kent County, Md., team Photo by Donna Sheffield TEAMWORK: The Piedmont Softball Association players, in white jerseys posing with the Kent County, Md., team, are back row from left: Eva Mills, Jordan Deane, Amber Long, Megan Payne, Nikita Long; front row from left: Brittany Buchholz, Hannah Lawrence, Ashleigh Speicher, Elvira Yanez and Danielle North. with a score of 8-5. The 10 players present for the Virginia team hit well, but the Maryland team consistently hit a little better. Megan Payne pitched all seven innings, walking two Kent batters, and while Rappahannock players Eva Mills, Elvira Yanez, Jordan Deane, Brittany Buchholz, and Payne all hit to score, the usually very strong Virginia defense committed critical errors in this game, resulting in an eventual loss.

This second-place finish earned the team the right to play at the Virginia State Babe Ruth Softball Championships hosted by Glen Allen. By far the smallest team in both age and stature, PSA 8 and Under All-Star team played with grit and determination throughout both levels of tournament.

Prior to the win at the national level, the girls brought home fourth place wins at both the regional and state level tournaments under the coaching of Waymond Edwards and Brooke Miller. During the state match, VA Xtreme upset Boo Williams’ powerhouse Hampton Roads Red Tide—a taller, stronger, faster, and older team. Also during this tournament, Jenny Lyons of Manassas was named to the state All-Tournament team, averaging 14 points a game during the match. Despite a loss to the New York Ballerz in the first round of the national tournament, VA Xtreme went on to defeat the Virginia state champions, Harrisonburg Heat. The girls continued their winning streak by eliminating the Stafford Falcons and the New River Valley Mustangs. This earned them the ninth place slot in the under-15 age group.

One’s final years are filled with losses involving work, friends, and physical independence. Thus, the end of a purposeful career and the onset of physical limitation may only accentuate the feeling of grief that accompanies the death of a loved one. The phases of grief shock, disbelief, emptiness, confusion, numbness, and freefloating anxiety- are common to people of all ages; therefore, older men and women can benefit every bit as much as their younger counterparts from grief counseling and therapy. This may help them cope with their loss and avert depression. Finding the right people to help as through our journeys is key.

Issues of liability, waste Tbwn residents at the meeting were concerned about two issues: liability, including whether the town or a B&B could be held liable in any way, and waste management. Winder said they carry commercial liability coverage are constantly looking for paved back country roads for race riding. “We really don’t want speed to increase on this road,” said Caulfied in an interview. This is the latest chapter in a battle over a short stretch of road, a little over two miles, which runs off Ben Venue Road or Route 729. Caulfield, who grew up on Grimsley Road in a house her mother bought 30 years ago, said the fight was going on against injury and property damage and that the company has incurred no losses or claims in the five years they have been in business. As for town and B&B liability, there was no definitive answer from anyone. As for waste management, she told the council and wrote in their proposal: “You should never know horses have been in your town or on vour streets. “We pick up all manure that may drop at the staging location. . .our horses travel with ‘bun bags’ that are designed to attach to and blend in with the when she was a child and she remembered going to Board of Supervisors’ meetings with her mother to oppose paving. There appears to be only two public proponents for paving, State Police Lt. Harry Newlin and his wife Nancy who is the registrar for Rappahannock County. The Newlins built an imposing home on a hill overlooking Grimsley. The supervisors in November 2003 voted three to harness.” She said this equipment “is highly successful in catching manure,” but, if any escapes, they will remove it from the streets. Another issue at the town council meeting was whether the Winders had to get approval from the town to conduct their carriage rides. In the end, it was decided unanimously by council that it would not “interpose an objection” to the carriage rides, or as Mayor Eugene Leggett said, it was “a decision for non-action.” two on a compromise to pave three-tenths of a mile which ends at Newlins’ home. Estes, Bryant Lee and Ron Frazier voted for paving and Robert Welch and Robert F. Anderson voted against it. The road is the border between Welch’s Wakefield District and Frazier’s Jackson District. The decision has been seen by many in the county as government being willing to ignore the majority’s feelings to carry out the project. John Williams. M.D..

The Winders have researched three options for staging their truck and trailer: on the outskirts of town in front of the abandoned VDOT center, on the outskirts of town across from the Washington Fire and Rescue Department where the Black Kettle used to be, and a preferred location in a field Rachel Grimsley whose family gave its name to the road said the three-tenths of a mile compromise is seen by opponents as only a “first step” that would lead to its being all paved. Tom Walker who owns the 600-acre High Meadow Farm on Grimsley Road said he opposed the paving because it would be a step toward ruining the rural ambiance of Rappahannock County. He said he bought the farm in 2003 as a “permanent residence for the rest of my fife” so long as the county’s rural agrarian character did not change. Walker said the speed limit on the road is 10 miles an hour and if it were paved, the limit would be lifted to 55 miles per hour. Caulfield and Walker said Extreme From Page A9 Center. Rappahannock’s Ella Miller was chosen for the national All-Tournament team and won the Hot Shot championship despite being three years younger than the competition. “Each member of the VA Xtreme has worked hard and deserves to be recognized,” says Coach Edwards. ‘Their continued growth both as individuals and as a team has greatly increased their confidence.” With their competition consistently comprised of rising high school juniors, VA Xtreme is made up of rising eighth grader Ella Miller; three rising freshmen Kim Hutcheson, Noel Johns, and Erin Whitney; sophomore Hannah Safren; and three juniors Courtney Hutcheson, Jenny Lyons and Amanda Miller.

Most of the Amissville-area girls got on base with multiple hits in this set of seven innings; rookies Jordan Deane and Amber Long, who drove in the gamewinning run, each had three hits and Danielle North, Nikita Long, Mills, and Payne contributed two apiece. Megan Payne pitched six and a half innings for the Piedmont team with Nikita Long assisting.

The preferred location for the carriage stand, the Winders contend, is a small side street between the post office and The Inn’s Shoppes because it is “easily accessible, readily visible and safe.” It is also advantageous because it is close to the front door of the Inn at Little Washington where the driver could easily determine if a guest is ready to return to a B&B. they set up a meeting with Frazier two weeks ago, but he failed to show up. They arranged a second meeting this week, and Frazier called it off ahead of time. Another has been set for next week. Frazier said that he agreed to meet with Cory Caufield and her husband and didn’t know it was going to be a group meeting with “a dozen or more people. Maybe somebody was trying to blindside me,” he said. Nevertheless, he had taken medicine and fallen asleep and forgot the meeting. He acknowledged that the one this week was postponed and he said he has no firm date to meet with them. “Perhaps after the 24th,” he said. Frazier said he usually meets delegations in some public forum and not a private home. According to Edwards, the girls entered each of their tournaments as the youngest and smallest team, but they were not intimidated which allowed their coordinated team play to carry them to success. “The key to their success is the girls’ willingness to work hard and our firm belief that they can compete at this higher level,” he says. VA Xtreme is a division of Xtreme Basketball, founded in 2002 by Edwards, to give children the opportunity to play basketball year-round, while developing their fundamental skills and understanding of the game.

August 19, 2004 www.timescommunity.com i 76e creative yencuh .Local antc&t ott coven, of srtHentccut fr’itoit tnayayitte -- By Laura Ruby Special to the Rappahannock News Nationally recognized for his work in several media, Sperryville artist Patton Wilson loves to work with different methods of creativity. At the same time, he is deliberate and dedicated to the technical aspects of art. This interesting juxtaposition of art and science creates eyecatching still-lifes and intricate landscapes. A painter in the realist tradition, Wilson explores egg tempera, oil, casein, and watercolor» juggling the media to evoke just the right emotion for a given piece. “Art is one of the few professions that throws you something new every day. I work in almost every painting medium that there is. I think it’s because I’m easily bored,” said Wilson, who has called Rappahannock County home for 22 years. While the medium changes from painting to painting, Wilson has focused for the last several years on still-life arrangements. He devotes large amounts of time to considering the setup of elements before he begins to paint them. At a given time, there may be 10 still-life set ups in Wilson’s brimming, sky-lit studio, each in a different stage of progress. Wilson uses color on the walls of the bustling work space (Renaissance Red and Desert Twilight) to serve as background for his work, though most of the space is painted in a neutral green mid-tone, which he finds helpful in warming the northern light that fills the space. Wilson is fascinated with the technical process of the trade. He has done extensive research into ancient methods of creativity, and takes great pleasure in the chemistry and cooking that are required to mold raw materials into painting supplies. “We’ve made our own paint and panels. I’ve just been fascinated by the process,” Wilson said, describing archaic methods of mixing and cooking hide glue and chalk. “There’s a reason most people don’t do it,” he said jokingly. More recently, he renewed his interest in painting landscapes and cloudscapes. Those, he said, are largely inspired by Rappahannock County. He enjoys the time constraints of working from life, painting scenes of Turkey Mountain and Skyline Drive’s Big Meadows while the light is just right. “I work from life. I don’t work from photographs and it does give you a different sense of space and time,” said Wilson, whose dark hair and mustache reveal a bit of his Native American heritage. *d<zte&t accolades But it was a still-life painting, entitled Triad, done in casein that earned Wilson his latest accolade—the grand prize in the National Casein Paintings Competition. Casein is a quick-drying, aqueous medium that uses a milk-based binding agent. One of the most durable mediums known to man, the medium dates back to the cave man, appealing to See ARTIST, Page B2 66 Art is one of the few professions that throws you something new every day.

The Ladykillers' will show at The Theatre Friday, Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. RAAC presents offbeat film about a thief and his landlady By Joanne Him Special to the Rappahannock News “The Ladykillers,” from Joel and Ethan Coen, is a dark comedy starring Tom Hanks as a professorial thief, Marion Wayans as his hair-trigger henchman, and Irma P. Hall as their indestructible landlady. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC) brings this film to The Theatre in Little Washington on Friday, Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. Based on the 1955 British classic of the same name, by director Alexander Mackendrick and writer William Rose, this movie turns into another offbeat Coen gem. gleaming with verbal and pictorial style, exploding with wit and slapstick. The Coen “Ladykillers,” with Hanks, Wayans and Hall in bright new versions of the roles originated by Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers and Katie Johnson, is a mad movie about murder, fumble-fingered crooks and sweet little old ladies. It’s a picture that sometimes seems 30 years behind its time. Joel and Ethan Coen have always been expert revivers of America’s cinematic and literary past. They’re trying something only slightly different here, See MOVIE, Page B2

Along with a cash prize, he was featured in a cover story of American Artist magazine. The contest was sponsored by the magazine, Jack Richeson and Company, manufacturers of Shiva casein paint, and the American Society of Casein Painters, in honor of the society’s 50th anniversary, Wilson said. The highly-technical article highlights both Wilson's talent as well as the deep commitment he makes to each piece of work. “When a painting comes together very quickly, I am suspicious,” he is quoted as saying. “I’m so accustomed to going through a long process of carefully considering an idea, making preliminary sketches and compositional studies, and building up the surface over months, that I find it hard to accept a painting that comes without great effort.” That sentiment is easy to understand when one considers the effort that Wilson has poured into his profession. The second son of five in a military family, Wilson was bom outside of El Paso, Tbxas, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilson. As a child, his family moved frequently and his parents worked to ensure that the children were exposed to cultural opportunities in every location. “My parents always took us to museums, no matter where we lived. That was a real important thing for them,” he recalled. Perhaps this exposure helped to encourage the young artist. Drawing and painting for as long as he can remember, Wilson developed a special friendship with his high school art teacher, Jack Johnson. When Wilson was just starting his career, it was Johnson, in fact, who invited him to participate in his first art show. The pair offered a two-man show in Williamsburg in 1978. “He’s been a great support for a long time,” Wilson said. 'THeetuup wife It was also in high school that Wilson met his wife of 28 years, Jane. By then, his father had retired from the military and the family had settled on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Rappahannock News Pboto'Laura Ruby FAMILY AFFAIR: Art is a family affair for artist Patton Wilson, and his wife, Jane, a former art teacher, who together with their son, Luke, 15, not pictured, visit museums together. They share a moment at their Sperryville home with their dog, Alice. But it was a still-life painting, entitled Triad, done in casein that earned Wilson his latest accolade—the grand prize in the National Casein Paintings Competition. Along with a cash prize, he was featured in the September cover story of American Artist magazine. dating a year later. They knew quickly that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. As graduation approached, Wilson assumed that he’d be drafted and head to Vietnam and so he didn’t make plans to attend college. When the draft was lifted, Wilson was left with new options. Jane Wilson finished college and took a job as an art teacher while Wilson begem to focus his efforts on his professional art career. Tm a self-taught painter,” he said, noting that the early years of his career were full of fun and challenges. “I worked hard. I spent three years just drawing before I started working with paint. Then I started working with watercolor and from there just progressed. All the time, I was going to museums and studying art. “Speaking from my own experience, there are certain Posing as an eccentric professor, Dorr rents a room within tunneling distance of the loot.

It’s something that you develop through your life. It’s a sensitivity to certain things. Anyone can produce a drawing. They can be taught the technical aspect of all of that, but there’s a difference between turning out something like that and actually turning out a finished work that includes the emotion, the interpretation. The hardest thing is finding a voice and I’m still looking for mine.” While that may be true, Wilson has dearly found happiness in his life. At home in their 1910 cedar-sided farmhouse, the couple is welcoming and friendly, patiently explaining Wilson’s complex trade to a novice with humor and generosity. Their warmth and talent are explosives expert with an unfortunate medical condition, esperially for someone in his line of work; The General (Tzi Ma) a former Viet Cong tunnel rat; and Gawain (Marlon Wayans), the hip-hopping inside man at the casino.

In the next room, Wilson’s spectacular work adorns walls decorated with glaze in a rag technique. The easy banter and obvious affection between the two make' it clear that their long-time love has not only endured, but thrived. And, Wilson lights up when talking of his work almost as much as he does when he speaks of the couple's son, 15year-old Luke. "He has very good art instincts," Wilson said of his son, noting that his current loves are art and sports, particularly baseball. fcwUtef, a^xcfi Art. in fact, is such a family affair that it is a component of many of their outings together. “When we go to the museums, we usually go to look at one piece.. . usually it’s Pat saying, ‘I gotta go and see this one thing and see what they did and how they did it,” said Jane Wilson. Now that Luke is older, the family travels to museums together to study art. “We’ll have sort of an art history tour. We’ll stand there and analyze a painting and discuss what makes it good and the background of who the artist was. It sounds pretty boring, but it’s fun for us,” Wilson laughed. “We do the same thing with baseball players at baseball games.” At 50, Wilson is a mid-life artist who has received national recognition for his work in prestigious juried exhibitions and has participated in innumerable one-man, group, invitational, and museum exhibitions. Additionally, his work has been featured in a number of publications across the United States. A member of The Washington. Society of Landscape Painters, Wilson’s work will be showcased locally during a show of the group’s Urban and Pastoral Scenes at the Packing Shed Gallery Sept. 2-27. In March, Wilson was invited to participate in a 10-year retrospective exhibition at Mary Washington University’s Ridderhof Martin Gallery in Fredericksburg.
