J How Rappahannock can retain its character Strategies to promote voluntary donations of conservation easements By Robert T. Dennis Special to the Rappahannock News It is worth noting that the acres protected by conservation easements in Rappahannock County now total nearly half the Rappahannock acreage condemned in 1933 by Virginia’s State Commission on Conservation and Development for donation to the federal government for creation of Shenandoah National Park. Whereas the 1933 action generated great controversy among residents and landowners, voluntary donation Opinion of conservation easements beginning in the 1970s has been generally welcomed by the local population. An early notion that government must buy land in order to conserve it has more recently been replaced in Virginia by a philosophy of public/private cooperation, including public incentives for voluntary private action, to accomplish conservation objectives. Objectives of today’s conservation easements range from preservation of the Rappahannock landscape to restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. The General Assembly has even provided for land conservation tax credits which can be sold by landowners—a far cry from the appropriation/condemnation strategies of 70 years ago. Though events and public issues elsewhere seem to require that the public maintain and improve land use regulatory controls over activir-1 Meetings & Notices • On Thursday, Sept. 2 the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County courthouse on Gay Street. • The Rappahannock News will be closed Monday, Sept. 6 in observance of Labor Day.

All this leads to questions as to what can yet be done to promote voluntary donations of conservation easements in Rappahannock County, See EASEMENTS, Page A10 u fo Planners calling in experts for discussions on growth issues By Nicholas M. Horkock Rappahannock News Staff Writer The broader question that emerged at the Rappahannock County Planning Commission hearing last Wednesday is whether the commission should be “proactive,” anticipating land and development issues, or “reactive” and wait for builders and developers to present requests and plans. With growing concern about rising land values, the commission decided to map an aggressive set of fall hearings on growth issues, but backed away from the volatile subject of village zoning regulations. Planning Commission Chairman Thomas F. Junk had added “discussion of Village Zoning Patterns” under “New Business” on the agenda for the commission’s Aug. 18 meeting, after County Administrator John McCarthy had started vacation. It was not listed on a schedule sent out by email and several area residents were startled by seeing this often controversial issue come up without wider notice. Junk said he wanted to See PLANNERS, Page A10 66 You are a planning commission. You are responsible for looking ahead. Phil Irwin Flint Hill J Sperryville fire department awarded grant for fire truck The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department Inc., has won a federal grant cc $225,000 towards the purchase of a new pumper fire truck. Gov. Mark R. Warner’s office has annbunced. The money comes from a federal program under the Homeland Security Department to assist local communities keep their emergency equipment in good shape. Fire Chief Richie Burke said he had applied for this grant over several years, but was finally successful. He said the village expects the actual engine will cost some $350,000 and the rest will be made up by the incorporated fire company through fund- raising. He said the engine will be designed and built to custom specifications reflecting the area’s needs. In addition to the county, the pumper will be used in Shenandoah National Park and in regional fire fighting situations. Richie credited Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor, R-7th, for assisting Sperryville in obtaining the grant. Supervisors conduct light tests, may ease light restrictions By Nicholas M. Horrook Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors has conducted night-time light tests at two county locations to gauge the visual impact of “foot candle power” and measure light intensity that may lead to easing restrictions in a proposed lighting ordinance now before the board. Under Virginia law the proposed ordinance, officially recommended by the Planning Commission, cannot be made more restrictive without a complete new public1 hearing process. But the supervisors can ease some restrictions or leave them alone, County Administrator John McCarthy said. Chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes, Robert F. Anderson, Ron Frazier and Roger Welch made the inspection on Aug. 18.

Ice cream and calces Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Alexis C Glenn SUGAR TIME: Dori Shea-Boimybr mixes up banana and berries into ice cream at the recently opened Cold Stone Creamery in Warrenton. Warrenton ice creamery has stone-cold fresh treats By George Rowand Rappahannock News StafT Writer Dori Shea-Boimybr was working quickly, mixing bits of bananas and strawberries into the ice cream mounded on the cold granite in front of her. In spite of the fact that the official grand opening of Cold Stone Creamery was still three days away, the store was filled with eager ice cream customers. Owner Mike Harvey was really pleased. “We haven’t done any advertising, so this is all word of mouth,” Harvey said. It was 12:45 p.m. on a Wednesday, hardly the time for people to have a case of ice cream hunger, but there they were, steadily entering the latest new store in Warrenton. Harvey and Blanche Rusch, the other owner, have to be encouraged. The gamble Harvey became an entrepreneur like a lot of other people have over the years: He was laid off from his former job and he had to do something else. “I worked for IBM in a technical field for 21 years,” he said. “Then I got laid off and I decided to do something other than working for somebody else. We actually went to the franchise fair in D.C., and there was this huge crowd around the podium that happened to be Cold Stone Creamery.” Harvey and Rusch investigated the opportunities offered by the company and were impressed. “They’re very helpful in getting you started,” Harvey said. “They stand right behind you.” Still, there were times when the owners’ enthusiasm was tested. “We got an SBA (Small Business Administration) loan and that took a long time to do,” Harvey explained. “The SBA and Cold Stone didn’t like the demographics of Warrenton at first. Then they looked farther and they decided to give me a shot, but the Cold Stone rep said that he’s a gambler, and he wouldn’t do this.” Freshly made “We make our own ice cream right here,” Harvey stated. “It takes approximately 10 hours. Our banana ice cream has nine whole bananas STACKED: The waffle bowls are made at Cold Stone Creamery in Warrenton. The wide variety of mixings are well recognized items. in it, our coffee ice cream is made with instant coffee, our Dreamsicle ice cream tastes like the old Dreamsicle on a stick that we knew as kids.” Harvey showed off the series of freezers that take the newly made ice cream to minus 32 degrees for a number of hours, and then the ones that “warm” it up to a couple of degrees above zero before finally allowing the ice cream to be placed into the bins for use by the scoopers in the store. “We let it warm up a bit so that it’s easier for the kids to work it,” Harvey explained. And work it they do. The difference in C0I4 Stone Creamery ice cream and other stores is the fact that candy pieces and other goodies are worked into the ice cream to make it more appealing to eacn customer. “We make everything we sell here ... waffle cones and bowls, the ice cream, our brownies ... except for the nuts and the candies, and they’re all brand names,” Harvey said. It’s the combinations of interesting ice cream and the candies, brownies, fruits and nuts that seem to be attracting the customers. Business has been brisk. “Yesterday it just didn’t stop,” Harvey said with a smile. “I had someone knocking on my door at 10:30, and we don’t open until 11, but she wanted to get a cake, and I let her in.” Yet, like all new business owners, Harvey isn’t certain what the future will bring, especially when the weather turns colder. “Some of our most profitable stores are up north,” he said. “Once winter starts, that’s when we’ll be selling our ice cream cakes that are all made with our ice cream. Our cake decorator has 11 years experience with BaskinRobbins.” Community activist According to Harvey, one feature of Cold Stone Creamery is that the company encourages store owners to help local organizations. Half the proceeds from the grand opening, for example, were headed to the Fauquier Hospital Foundation. “We will be doing fundraisers all the time, from Monday through Thursday each week,” Harvey said. “If an organization will do the PR (public relations) work, we’ll give them 15 percent of the proceeds that the store makes from 5 to 8 p.m., and that’s usually pretty busy.” The Cold Stone Creamery is located in the front parcels of the Warrenton Village Shopping Center at 183 West Lee Highway in Warrenton. The phone number is (540) 349-8077. The store is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. 5:30 pm Friday, August 27 at the gallery, Rt. 211, Amissvllle Here's another wonderfully eclectic offering for you! ...some smaller furniture from private homes, estates, and antique dealers: Selling at 6:00 pm: 1976 half-ton Chevrolet pickup ALSO SELLING Small kiln and approx. 40 ceramic molds; Lots of Tools: Power, hand, longhandled: Stihl chainsaws, 30 gallons fence paint; Glassware; Porcelain; Pottery; Stoneware: Kitchenware, Iron & Other Metalware; Prints & Original Artwork; Intriguing stands, chairs, end tables, etc.: WONDERFUL CURIOS OF ALL SORTS & a tine BOX LOT HEAVEN too!

Evelyn Williams of Warrenton loves what she does, which is bake cakes, biscuits, rolls, cinnamon buns and other goodies that she sells at the Warrenton farmer’s markets on Wednesday and Saturday. We caught up with her last Friday, the day she does her baking for the weekend. “Today I’m making some homemade pound cakes,” Williams said. ‘1 start them in a cold oven. Then,” she gestured to a row of cakes covered and ready for market, “they come out like this. Williams creates a wide variety of baked goods in the kitchen of her family home near the Warrenton Training Center. “Let’s see, I make pound cakes, of course, and lemon bars and rolls,” Williams said. “I do something like 12 different kinds of cakes, some cinnamon buns, and I’ll be baking apple dumplings later this evening. “And I do biscuits with old Virginia ham. A lot of people order them. Then I have some blueberry coffee cake.” The dining room table was loaded with goodies that would be sold in less than 24 hours. “I’ll bake about 25 to 30 cakes today, and then I’ll stop and get my rolls rising and then my cinnamon buns.” Williams said she started baking at an early age. “I just started this on my own,” she said. “I always loved baking, and after a while people started asking me to bake something for them, and then I got started in the (farmer’s) market. I love doing it. It keeps me going.” See CAKES, Page A7 Rappahannock News Staff Photo Alexis C Glenn HOMEMADE: Evelyn Williams of Warrenton shows off one of ter home-baked creations, a blueberry swirl.

2004-2005 Rappahannock School Year Starting Up! Academics HP 4$^ 2 theme: give every child a chance for college By Nicholas M. Horrook Rappahannock News Staff Writer The central theme for returning to school in Rappahannock County this fall is that every youngster who wants to go to college or continue his education after high school should have that chance. With surprising unanimity, teachers, students, School Board members and the school administration agrees on that objective. “I want every youngster to be able to reach higher than they ever expected,” said Meredith Gorfein, a member of the School Board from Hampton District. “The world they are going to live in will need computer skills, languages, things that in my generation, we never thought of.” Superintendent of Schools Robert Chappell said ‘Nve want to change the climate so that more students are in programs for advanced education." There has been a recognition that the children of Rappahannock County will have to go out in the world to make their way and that the agricultural industry of the county cannot support its children. ‘"We want a coordinated K- 12 curriculum,” Wesley Mills, chairman of the School Board said in an interview, “so every teacher knows when he gets a child at any level what work the child should be able to do.” He said they want to remove artificial barriers among elementary, middle and high school that would impede a student from moving through the system. The school system conducted an unusual retreat in July where it brought together board members, administrators, teachers and citizens to create a “Strategic Plan” for the county's schools. “The Rappahannock County Public Schools’ vision is to provide schools that are second to none. Our mission is to create a passion for life-long learning; and to graduate students who make significant contributions," the board agreed. It adopted the plan as a ‘diving document,” constantly subject to perfection and change. Among the items planned are additional Ken Marlor said he felt a priority in the coming year was for greater parental involvement in the school system. Like several of the board members, he had children in Rappahannock schools and feels that parents should be greatly involved. around special development programs like the International Baccalaureate, the International General Certificate of Secondary Education and the Cambridge advanced diploma. These programs like the Advanced Placement the school now offers, can refine and expand programs that will cam supports to ensure that students were reading at grade level by the end of the third grade and continuing to develop at grade level as they went forward. Mills said they hoped to develop a 6th grade to 12th grade curriculum youngsters college credits. Gorfein said that at the summer meeting, the briefing by representatives from Cambridge University were stunning and that a teacher in the International Baccalaureate program mesmerized the board members. Gorfein herself has been a teacher and has extensive training in English with minors in French and Education. Mills said he has doubts that some of the Advanced Placenlent courses functioned well. He said he was not sure how many colleges actually gave the students advanced placement credits. This year the school system arranged a series of courses for students to take for “dual enrollment college credit” through Lord Fairfax Community College. Among the courses are Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. history, Network Technology (Cisco), and Advanced Placement English. Students can also choose several courses taught by Lord Fairfax instructors by “compressed video,” a two-way video system. These include ethics/philosophy, medical terminology and psychology /sociology. The plans also include increasing See THEME, Page A10 Sharing a vision— ‘Our schools will someday become ‘second to none’ By Robert T. Chappell School Superintendent In the eyes of many Rappahannock County citizens, and at least four living outside the county who pay more than $6,200 each in annual tuition, our schools are very good. The Rappahannock County School Board, administrators, employees and I share the vision that our schools will someday become “second to none.” There are 134 school districts in Virginia and in excess of 16,000 in America. Some will say that it is impossible to' become the best in the country or even Virginia. I believe we owe it to present and future Rappahannock County students to try to become the Together, we intend to provide schools in Rappahannock County that won’t take a back seat to any in America, because our students deserve no less. very best. Before addressing what we hope to do this year and beyond, I want to review our recent history. Rappahannock’s SOL testing in 2002-03 and 2003-04 produced two consecutive years of full accreditation and evidence of solid improvement in SOL achievement. Average SAT Scores for the Class of 2005 are among the best ever: Verbal 568, Math 539/. Our people - our employees, students, and volunteers - made this possible. Other achievements During the 2003-04 school year employees and students achieved more than solid test scores. Included in the list of top-scorers for the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth’s annual talent search were two Rappahannock County Elementary School students. One RCES student earned a perfect score in the WordMasters’ Challenge competition. Students in the RCHS Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) and Technology Students of America (TSA) won regional and state championships. The Rappahannock County High School Band celebrated its 21st year by winning five top awards at the Williamsburg/Virginia Beach Festival of Music. Award winners at the Regional Science Fair included an RCES student whose project earned “Best Project in Medicine.” Five RCHS students placed first or second at the Regional Science Fair, thereby qualifying for state competition. The Academic Bowl Team qualified for regional competition. The Stock Market team finished 34th of 755 teams statewide. RCES and RCHS presented fine musical and drama productions. The publications staff at both schools produced fine newspapers and yearbooks. There were thousands of individual successes in our classrooms throughout the year. In athletics, two wrestlers earned medals in Group A state wrestling. Competition Cheerleading qualified for first ever participation in state competition. Three golfers earned district medals and qualified for regionals. JV Softball won the Bull Run District tournament, and Varsity Volleyball won the regular season Bull Run District Championship and qualified for regionals. In setting our sights on becoming “second to none” in service to our students, we hope that the 2004-05 ' school year will produce many more j academic, athletic, fine arts, and career/technical champions. A growing culture of expectations for excellence and an ever-improving system for teaching, coaching, learning and performing will help our students develop their natural talents. We will report these successes on our website http://www.rappahannock. kl2.va.us/, in monthly calendars, and in periodic newsletters. See CHAPPELL, Page A8 Meet the new teachers ■ By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Gerard J. Frank 7th Grade English Gerard J. Frank, 40, of Front Royal, has taught at Wakefield Country Day School. The reason he chose Rappahannock County schools? “It’s a wonderful community and impressive school system.

J.D. Almond RCHS Athletic Director By Briar Suzanne Bor,in Rappahannock News Staff Writer New Athletic Director J.D. Almond is on a mission: to show the other teams in the state that Rappahannock County High School is one to watch out for now and in the future. “Both the coaches and I feel that our teams will be competitive every time they step out on the field, course or court,” he said in a recent interview. “The wins won’t happen overnight, but with enough time and effort, they will come.' Almond supports his coaches and athletes 100 percent. “I want to give them the best experience possible,” he said. “I want to do this by giving every athlete the best educated coaches available for their sport, and improved facilities for competition and practice.” This, he said, builds a better athlete, a better school, and a better community as a whole. “I don’t think a successful season is dictated by the wins and losses,” said Almond. “I think it matters more if t!v team improves from game to game." Almond said the school's new vais;*,, football team is stronger than most people think. “This team is not the typical first year varsity team,” he emphasized “We’re also very competitive in volleyball, and our golf and cross country teams are young and eager to compete. This could, and will, produce some exciting times on the course.” So look out Virginia, here they come IRCHS football team tackles first year at varsity level By Briar Sczannk Bogin Rappahannock News Staff’Writer | £ £"T Te’re in the big \/\/ leagues now, and ▼ ▼ we’re going to win f some games too," said Varsity l Football Coach Kemp Pullin j about the fact that his team is j now playing at the varsity i level.

Our competition is in for a real surprise,” he said. With 35 players on the team—34 of them returning from last year’s program— Pullin has high hopes for this historic team. “This is a big deal for our school,” he says. “I want these players to be proud of the fact that they are the first varsity football players in the history of this school, and I want them to take pride in it now, as well as 20 years from now.

Rappahannock News Photo-Ann Spieker Golf coaches hope players stay focused By Briar Suzanne Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer School hasn’t even started yet, and the Rappahannock County High School golf team is preparing for its fifth match of the season. In a match on Aug. 19, the team beat Clarke County 342 to 352, but lost against Stonewall Jackson-Mt. Jackson earlier that week. RCH£5 had 11 players on the course. On Aug. 23, the team won against Luray High School, 188 to 192. The lead player was Jacob Dodson with a 44 followed closely by Alex Sharp’s 46 and Steven Rodden’s 47. Finishing up was Will Miller with a 52. “It was a close match,” said Coach Lee Felts, “but the team did not play as aggressively as they should have.” The team barely had time to practice together before the first C.C. match on Aug. 17. “Our team is young, but eager to compete,” said Athletic Director J.D. Almond. The players work on their short game at Bowling Green about four days a week. Felts echoed that thought, and noted that he hopes his players will learn to have a positive outlook on the game and each other. “I want them to be relaxed and feel confident all the time in what they can do,” added Felts. Dan Lewis shares the coaching duties with Felts, and each tries to be available at least half of the time. Lewis said the team is playing well so far this season, better, in fact, than he expected. “This team is really playing good golf. It has been a nice surprise,” he said. Nearly half of the team is returning from last year, which Felts says, helps vary the level of talent on the team. “The more practice we get, the more prepared we are to deal with our opponents,” he noted. I want the team to know that if they keep their heads in the game, they will be successful every time they step out on the course. Lee Felts Golf coach Felts hopes to see the team end up within the top two or three teams in the district. “We have a good chance of being competitive this year,” he said. “The potential certainly exists for us to go all the way to states. These players can set their own goals and accelerate as they see fit. It’s all up to them.” Coach Lewis noted that “with help _ and practice, we can get to districts and do well. I am very enthusiastic about our chances of posting good scores all season.” Team Captain Jacob Dodson and Ben Hahn have fared well so far (this season, and were touted as Rappahannock News Photo Ann Spieker COACHING DUO: Golf coaches Lee Felts, left, and Dan Lewis think the team has the potential to go all the way to state competition. players that could help bring the team to the top. “It’s critical to have the team behind you though,” said Felts. “You can See GOLF, Page A9 ■'i The sky’s the limit for RCHS cheerleaders By Briar Suzanne Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Cheerleading Coach Bonnie Pullin hopes that last year’s visit to the state championships will boost her new squad’s confidence enough to take them there again. It was the first time in Rappahannock County High School’s history that the team had made it that far. That’s why, as the team worked on their cheers and stunts in the August heat recently, she was watching them like a hawk. “That was ugly,” she offered, “try it again, and this time make it better.” And with a few laughs and all smiles, her team did just that. “We’ve got a great group this year,” said Pullin of her squad. “They are ready to pull together as a team See CHEERLEADING, Page A9 Cross Country runners touted as good athletes By Briar Suzanne Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer With just six members on his team so far, Coadh Mick Strand sees “not just good run ners, but good all around athletes.” Strand noted that practice had just begun, and since the team has no official tryouts, many additional runners may not come aboard until after school is in session next week.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com' THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2004 Our View Fall wonders It is already getting dark earlier now and some evenings there is a hint of crispness in the air. In beautiful Rappahannock County, the leaves will start to turn color; geese heading south will dip down to steal some grain and final harvesting will begin. Over at Rappahannock County High School there is the sound of a football being drop kicked and in the elementary school there is the smell of fresh paint and new books. Our children go back to school next week, actually one of the most joyous events that happens in a child's life. Some of them won’t agree now, but trust us; there will come a time when they will yearn to swing their books over their shoulder and head for a place where the world is new and undiscovered. Within those school doors, like some Disney magic show, is every wonder of the world, all we have to do is reach out and grab one. As people get older, to envy the fun of school is normal, like yearning for the circus or a good snowball fight. We have a remedy for this yearning. Get involved. Here are some things each of us can do: Back the school’s $4 million plan for a new auxiliary gym, elementary school rooms and the running track. Come to the big public hearing on Sept. 8 at the high school. Get behind Headwaters, the educational foundation, with money or as a volunteer Boost the band, an athletic team or the music program. Work in the schools as a volunteer. Substitute teach. Run for the school board. If each of us does one of these things, the youthful surge of fall will seem eternal, and the schools and students all would benefit.

Father Maurice du Castillon will inaugurate weekly Catholic services in Rappahannock County with a mass on Sunday, Aug. 26 in the annex of the Old Washington School. Mrs. Elizabeth H.

COMPILED BY BRIAR SUZANNE BOGIN 1r I'fA UOME ..l ficKeo up k olvmPic 4 Letters ‘Just where are we to put our scrap wire?’ The recycling center in Amissville no longer takes barbed wire, wire, or wire fencing. The custodian reports that the salvage company that picks up all the metal won’t take such stuff because “it jams their machines.” But, he says, a scrap dealer in Winchester may take it. (The scrap dealer in Culpeper he suggested earlier doesn’t.) Just where are we to put our scrap wire? Few, I suspect, will take it to Winchester. Most will leave it in their fields, where it will be a hazard, put it “back in the weeds,” where, again it will be a hazard or dump it along the roads, where it will be an eyesore as well as a hazard. Most of the properties in the county have scrap wire from time to time. Wouldn’t it make sense to have the recycling center dig a big hole and have us dump all our stuff there? James C. Miller III Sperryville ‘I am disappointed that Roy was convicted...’ In response to the ‘Disappointed in verdict’ letter to the editor in the Aug. 5 edition of the Rappahannock News, let me start by apologizing for taking this long to respond. I have to say that I am also very disappointed in this verdict. However, I am disappointed that Roy was convicted of anything at all. Anyone with any morals and common sense that knows Roy and his accusers would agree that the true motive in this case was vengeance and not justice. I also believe that the opinion of Preston Huey is what we should expect from someone with no better judgment than she has already expressed in moving from Gods’ Country to hell’s outskirts. My bible says in II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new,” and I believe this helps confirm that indeed Roy is a different man today. I have grown up around Roy and his family and gladly consider them friends, but I don’t know of anyone who would say the same of his accusers. With that said I will leave well enough alone and offer this bit of comfort to Roy and his family: Roy, you know the truth and all of us that know you believe you and support you and your family but one thing that is even more important is that God almighty will have the final say in this case and there is nothing that even Peter Luke will be able to say then. James Jenkins & family Sperryville ‘How he acts now is irrelevant’ The opinion that Roy Pullen has been a sterling example to the community for the past 25 years is a Very nice one, I’m sure quite reassuring to those who are close to him. However, he was on trial for raping a 10-year-old child. How he acts now is irrelevant—it’s still a crime. Why is that so hard to understand? Preston Huey Washington, D. C. (Formerly Viewtown) Thanks from fire department The Sperryville Fire Department and Auxiliar would like to thank the community and businesses for supporting our annual camir val this year.

Cakes From Page A3 Her creations have won a prize or two over the course of time. “I entered one in the fair in Marshall, and I won the prize for my strawberry and blueberry swirl cake,” she said. Scratch cooking Williams literally was in her element as she scurried from plate to plate, checking on the cakes that were ready for sale, and then going to her stove to see how three other pound cakes were doing. “You’ve got to watch them, not time them,” she explained. Like a lot of cooks, she has her own permutations of recipes that she’s read or been given. “I make everything from scratch,” she said. “It’s a challenge to see how it’s going to come out. I put apple juice in my apple dumplings, and a little bit of lemon juice. They’re supposed to be tart, you know.” She showed an example of something else she’s learned along the way. “Caramel icing ... you’ve got to make it up on a good, dry day,” she stated. “Otherwise it’s going to get sticky, it’s going to get grainy. “I never use self-rising Hour,” she continued. “I go through 55 pounds of flour in a tveek, and from 20 to 25 dozen eggs. I get blackberries from the (farmer’s) market, and strawberries and blueberries locally.” Williams mentioned several local residents who have used her products in the past. “Christine Fox, she’s a real good customer. She always wants my ham biscuits,” Williams said. “And Dr. Allison gets my coconut cake. He loves my coconut cake. “But everybody gets my stuff now. I don’t think there’s one person living in Fauquier County who hasn’t had my cakes.” Williams was smiling throughout her explanations. She seemed blissful about what she could do in the kitchen. “I give out samples at the (farmer’s) market, and I see people walk away, eating, and then they come back and buy something,” she said. “That makes me feel good.” She said she was willing to {jive out any recipe she had to anyone who might want it. “Sure, I’ll give them out, I don’t mind. But I don’t measure out salt or other seasonings, I just judge it, so it might not turn out like mine,” she said. Williams said she couldn’t do everything that needs to be done without the support of the members of her family. “My daughter, Terry Chambers, she comes to the market and helps out, and my niece, Vicky Banks, helps, too. My daughter-in-law, Shanna Minor, comes in and ices these cakes, and my husband Her man makes lemonade that he sells at the farmer’s market. Some say it’s the best they’ve ever tasted.” Evelyn Williams sells her baked goods and her husband’s lemonade at the Warrenton farmer’s markets on Wednesday and Saturday in Old Tbwn Warrenton.

Chappell From Page A4 Strategic planning Our improvement efforts are based on solid planningIn May and June School Board members, parents, teachers, support staff, and administrators participated in long hours of “strategic planning” to map out the right things to do in the future for Rappahannock County students. This long-range plan is a road map for the Rappahannock County public schools becoming the best for our kids. In our opinion, we have the best students around. If we follow the road map to dramatically improve will be costs associated with becoming the best, but we will seek the most cost effective solutions possible. In addition to following the road map, we are implementing a suggestion form for employees, students, and citizens to use to help us make improvements and reduce costs. We will make these forms available in the offices and on our website. We can’t guarantee that every suggestion will be followed. But many will be used, and we promise a reply to all who choose to sign the forms. School supporters In Rappahannock County, we are blessed to have many people willing to support our schools. There are many parent and non-parent volunteers, the Headwaters Public academic, athletic, fine arts, and career/technical programs; continue to hire and retain the best employees;. and provide 66 In our opinion, we have the best students around.

The strategic plan won’t sit on the shelf.

Together, we intend to provide schools in Rappahannock County that won’t take a back seat to any in America, because our students deserve no less.

Cheerleading From Page A5 and keep that ‘we can do it’ attitude going strong.” Pullin’s squad of 18—14 girls and four boys—has been practic mg oia a since the beginning of August. Eleven of them are returning from last year’s squad. “Cheerleading is not the same sport it was many years ago,” she said. “It’s more competitive than ever and it’s really important that we keep our focus.” Now, she noted, cheerleading is more about tumbling. “We’ve got some strong tumblers this vear and that 66 We’ve got a great group this year. They are ready to pull together as a team. Bonnie Pullin Coach, cheerleading Orange Bow] later this year. “We’re keeping our eye on states,” said Pullin. “The reminder from last year is still there, and we want to keep that within our reach again.” She said that cheerleading is differfrn»v» il_1 will be a great help to us.” Pullin noted that this year's team has gotten its movements tighter and cleaner, and is working very well together. During a minicompetition at a University of Baltimore-sponsored camp this summer, the team came in first. From there, two of the team members were named to the NCA All-American squad. Kelsey Hutcheson and Corey Voorhies will have the chance to join that squad as part of the half-time show at either the Hula or the when the cheerleaders go out on the floor, they have only two minutes and 30 seconds to hit their routine dead on. “That’s it,” she said. “There are no other games, no second chances.” Pullin’s pride in her squad was obvious as she reflected on the pride they now have in themselves. “When they go out on that mat, all of a sudden, 20 cheerleaders become one. I can’t even describe how it feels to watch that,” she sighed. Volleyball From Page A5 A competition until the regional quarter finals. “Every year, every player makes her own contribution,” he said. “I want them to work on their weaknesses both as individuals and as a team so that they can be the best they can be.” Nieters says his team is very well rounded this year, with five of his nine players returning from last year’s squad. “I don’t have any bench players,” he offers. “Any player on the team can be a part of the starting line-up, because all of them will go in the game before we complete a rotation.” In volleyball, six players are on the court at once. Nieters says he likes the interaction he has with his players during a game. “I can talk to my players and give them good advice about positioning,” he says. “We can arrange our line-up so that we counteract the other i team as best we can.” Nieters also feels that it is important his players know the value of hard work. “I want my players to know that hard work pays off both on and off the court,” he says. “I don’t like us to face teams that don’t challenge us. I ! prefer us to have to work hard and earn everything we get.” Anna Kreyling, who led the district in blocks and kills last year, is returning to the team, and Nieters expects Mattie Nawrocki to put up comparable numbers this year as well. “We still have room to grow,” he noted, “but if the players work as a whole, they will be greater than the sum of their parts.” Without the support of the junior varsity team, however, Nieters says the varsity program would not be where it is today. “We have a really strong JV program coached by Jackie Settle,” he says, “and she deserves to be recognized for her support of and dedication to the varsity program.” The team won a scrimmage last week against Spotswood High School, 4-1. Their next match is Aug. 31 against Luray. Nieters From Page A5 all five as a teacher there. Prior to that, he coached soccer in Raleigh, N.C. Why did he choose Rappahannock?

As the smallest in the state, the only £4 other school in enjoys watching his players foster that relationship, and come together as a team on the field. There are no real tryouts for the team. Pullin will take any player as long as he or she can keep up during practice. “Just being here is important,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how many games you play or how long you’re tnat category in this district is Strasburg. “We're going to come out and surprise them all,” he said. Pullin said that all his players can make a difference on the team, and he wants them to play every game with the intent to win. His hope is to get into the playoffs, but This is a big deal for our school. I want these players to be proud of the fact that they are the first varsity football players in the history of this school, and I want them to take pride in it now, as well as 20 years from now. Kprrn Pi illin on the field. Usually, there are certain criteria that must be met in order for a varsity athlete to letter in a particular sport. "On my team," said Pullin, “you're going to get a letter, regardless of games played." Athletic Director •J.D. Almond credits Pullin with building the Rappahannock County High School ne pians to taKe the team as far along as he can, and win some along the way. “I enjoy teaching my players about the game,” he said. “Football is a true team sport. These players may or may not be friends in the qff season, but during football season, they are together all the time.” Pullin said he Coach, Varsity Football Program up to what it is today. “He's worked it from the ground up,” said Almond. Pullin. who has been coaching at the high school for three years, laughed and said, “Well, I’ve been w aiting 18 years to be the coach of a varsity football team." Finally, his w'ait is over. The team plays its first game Aug. 28 against Chincoteague High School. Golf From Page A5 only go so far solo. This is a game that require;-^ teamwork.” Felts also pointed opt that golf is a more mental game than many other sports. “I want the team to know that if they keep their heads in the game, they will be successful every time they step out on the course." Of course Felts wants his team to win. but he also wants them to have fun and learn to interact successfully with other teams. “I w ant to help make my players better people in general, BMsyncsMB not just better athletes.” Lewis has his own goals as well. “I want them to understand the game of golf and know that I understand how they feel when they are playing. I am very encouraged bv this team." The golf team plays its next match against Madison County High School at home on Aug. 26. Cross country From Page A5 During a meet, however, five times count toward the team’s final score. So a team of only six strong is often at an immediate disadvantage. “We’ve come through before with small numbers,” said Strand, "and we can do it again.” Cross country runners focus on a 5K race, which is about 3.1 miles. Strand hopes that during his first year as the team’s coach—he’s a business teacher by trade—he can be a consistent presence in his athletes’ lives and help them focus on not onl\ their running, but on their future as well. “As both a teacher and a coach, I feel that I have a great opportunity to look at things from both sides,” he said. “I want to help the team learn about dedication, and show them how to apply it in their everyday lives." The district meet is being held on Rappahannock's home field this year, which Strand hopes will help the team earn a trip from there to the regional meet. Last year, three of the top five teams in the state came from the Bull Run district. Rising junior Kevin Martin has been touted as one of the team’s strongest runners. “He was one of the top runners last year as a sophomore, and has a good chance this year to go to both regional and state meets,” said Strand. What it all boils down to for Strand is this: not only does he want his runners to improve their personal best times, but he wants them to do it while making everyone else on the team better runners as well. “I’d like to help them make a difference in their own lives, as well as the lives of their peers,” he said.

Planners From Page A1 open the discussion on village zoning “not to change the zoning, but to get a feel” for the issues. But he ran into opposition from several other members of the commission. Alvin Henry said that “if we start going out and have public hearings, people may think we are encouraging rezoning and development.” He wanted to know if the agenda item had been cleared with the Board of Supervisors which actually votes on zoning ordinances. Thomas F. Tepper said there were many other issues worthy of study in the villages, but warned we should not be proactive in a zoning change ” Other members were hesitant as well. It was clear that the high land values have suggested to many that development of large parcels of land would be profitable and bring challenges to Rappahannock’s low density zoning. A great number of county residents believe the planning commission should look ahead to these possibilities. Phil Irwin a veteran land planner and proprietor of a bed and breakfast inn told the planners this was “all part of the process. You are a planning commission. You are responsible for looking ahead.” Some at Wednesday’s meeting saw a gloomy pros peer ior retaining tne rural character and small town ambiance of the county. Mitzie Young, a member of the Town of Washington’s planning commission, said she lielieved the town of Washington would “die” unless local leaders took some action to revive businesses and town life. “We will be a county of dead towns and dead villages,” she warned. County Administrator John McCarthy agreed that as it becomes a tourist Mecca, the 'Town of Washington is unrelated to the rest of us.” The town until a decade ago had several stores, two small restaurants and more local resi dents, several people recalled after the meeting. Commission member Raymond L. Brown of Amissville saw Rappahannock as becoming a “county of elderly people. Young people can’t stay here, it’s going to be impossible." He said fire services and other services that rely on young residents will suffer even more greatly as time goes on. lb meet some of these challenges, the commission authorized John McCarthy to put together a series of speakers and discussions for the fall. The list includes real estate professionals, a planning official from Culpeper County, land planning experts, Mark Van De Water of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission and county resi dent Don Audette, who nas written extensively about transportation. At the end. Junk agreed that the village zoning issue might be better dealt with later in the year after other issues had been studied, but his agenda brought two comments on Amissville. Hal Hunter sent a letter to the commission that he said “recounts zoning history in Amissville since 2000” and R.E. Lindquist sent a long letter laying out his ideas for rezoning Amissville. Though neither letter was discussed at the meeting, Hunter's contained a section on “High Density Zoning” that said “the owner of a 125-acre parcel on 211—the gateway property to Rappahannock County that would benefit rrom tne tree watei*—proposed two-acre zoning, which was dismissed out of hand, then a golf course designed by Greg Norman, who disclaimed any knowledge. The owmer is now waiting for developments at Clevenger’s Comer, hoping to build a mall.” Helen Dixon arose during the public comment session to call attention to that paragraph. “Everything in that letter is a false statement, I didn’t know what’s he trying to do,” she told the meeting. Hunter said later that he had written this document as a brief history and if people have other views they should send them to the commission. Easements From Page A1 which may well be the best strategy to preclude here the growth-related socioeconomic problems now facing neighboring jurisdictions. At the same time, donation of easements covering properties now enrolled in the “land use” tax system would, under current state law, bring added state assistance to our public schools. One possibility would be for the county to seek to complete negotiations begun several years ago towards an easement “co-holding” arrangement with the Virginia Recorded easements Two conservation easements recorded on Aug. 13, both donated to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, bring total easement protection in Rappahannock County to 16,407 acres—12.1 percent of all private land. The first, granted by Judith Hope, applies to 75 acres fronting on Route 211 near Massies Corner. It is the , second 2004 easement on Hickerson Mountain. The other, given by James Resor and spouse Catherine Scott protects 51 acres of the old Whippoorwill property just outside Washington. Outdoors Foundation, whereby the county would assume certain monitoring responsibility—particularly with respect to easements involving smaller land parcels— while the state would provide the enforcement resources of the Attorney General. Many owners of smaller parcels have expressed interest in donating conservation easements, particularly in cooperation with their neighbors. It would make sense to encourage such interest. (I personally believe that owners of smaller parcels should think twice before offering stand-alone easements; easement clusters are the way to go.) Conservation easements today protect 12 percent of all private land in Rappahannock County. Creative public action could easily bring that figure to 50 percent in not too many years. And, if half of private land could be protected beyond the degree of current zoning, Rappahannock would likely retain the character it enjoys today. Light From Page A1 last week, was not at the inspection. The supervisors looked at the readings of a light meter owned and operated by county resident Clyde Humphrey which works on the same principle as a photographer’s light meter and records the brightness numerically on a flat-box device. Humphrey and his wife, Gwen Hayes, bought the meter for the county to help evaluate the need for an ordinance. Supervisor Frazier indi cated at a Planning Commissipn meeting earlier Wednesday that he is opposed to the ordinance as being “unnecessary.” Other opponents claim the Board of Supervisors does not have the legal power to regulate lighting. County Attorney Peter Luke, however, formally advised the board that the ordinance before them is on firm legal ground. It appeared from informal comments as they examined exterior lights at the Rappahannock National Bank and later at the 211 Quicke Mart Shell station on Route 211 that they recognized the need for more lighting at ATM windows and in service station areas where the clerks could not clearly observe the customers. They plan to examine whether they should raise the top candle power limits and add new areas to the list covered in the ordinance. Paul Baldwin, owner of the Quicke Mart, said that in two bays of his Shell service station unscrupulous drivers stole as much as $40 to $50 in fuel a night by simply driving away. His clerks, he said, cannot read the license plates after dark in those two bays. The supervisors instructed McCarthy to prepare some suggestions for the Sept. 8 board meeting. The proposed lighting ordinance solely covers future lighting plans on commercial businesses in Rappahannock County. It does not cover residential lighting and has little immediate impact since there are few areas of the county zoned for commercial development. The lighting plans of the bank and the Shell station are legally protected as they were approved before the ordinance. The lighting ordinance has been debated for some five years and its supporters think it is important to pass to have rules laid down for businesses in the future that come to the county. Theme From Page A4 foreign language instruction and adding to the fine arts and music programs. Mills said he was excited that a new teacher, Matt Yonkey had taken over the music program and was well received by the students. “It will be a wonderful experience for a music student,” he said. The long term planning for the school system has been on the basis of some 1,000 to 1,100 students. If significantly more families with children moved into the county, it might necessitate the building of a middle school. Ken Marlor, the newest board member from the Stonewall-Hawthorne District said the building of a middle school would require construction costs and finding a site, plus an administrative staff. He felt it would likely be unnecessary unless there was a population spike. The 6th and 7th grade middle school years are now at the elementary and the 8th grade is in the high school. Marlor said he felt a priority in the coming year was for greater parental involvement in the school system. Like several of the board members, he had children in Rappahannock schools and feels that parents should be greatly involved. Mills and Chappell said that even if the school population dropped over the next decade, Rappahannock with its good curriculum and 1950s ambiance might become popular for students from other areas who would pay tuition. Aline Johnson, the vice chairman of the school board from Piedmont District, said she thought the greatest thing that has come along has been the good morale of the school system and the rapport between the Board of Supervisors. Though she applauded the relationship with Lord Fairfax Community College and other developments, she said in her estimation the most important development was that the school system, the School Board and the Board of Supervisors were working together as never before.

Could it be that they were picking flowers? Why did that lady buy that crazy looking vase at the yard sale in Amissville? Surely her house isn’t decorated in those colors? Why is that woman picking flowers from the church garden in Washington? Does the pastor know about it? If any or all of these behaviors have you confused, you have forgotten that the Dried Flower Sale and House Tour is fast approaching, and those men and women who grow and dry the flowers, and these who cruise yard sales for containers for arrangements are hard at work to get ready for Oct. 16 and 17, the dates of the 48th annual fund-raiser of the Episcopal Church Women of Trinity Church in Washington. Not that the work is limited to members of the church—this is a community affair, and many contribute time and talent to make it a success, and raise money for charity. Since spring time, flowers have been grown for drying. Globe amaranth, celosia, strawflowers, dahlias and zinnias are but a few that are See FLOWERS, Page B2 Photos by Bruce Jones IN THE ATTIC: Above, Lois Snead, one of the original organizers of the Dried Flower Sale, has been drying flowers for the church sale since its beginning 48 years ago.

Protected by mountains, mostly ignored by industry and developers, Appalachia is America’s first and last frontier. Encompassing more than 195,000 square miles in 13 states, it is home to the least understood and most underappreciated culture in the United States. A beautifully produced companion volume to the soon to be aired four-hour, two-part PBS documentary narrated by Naomi Judd, “The Appalachians” fills the void in information about the region, offering a rich portrait of its history and its legacy in music, literature, and film. The text includes essays by some of Appalachia’s most respected scholars and journalists; excerpts from neverbefore-published diaries and journals; firsthand recollections from native Appalachians including Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, and Ralph Stanley; indigenous song lyrics and poetry; and oral histories from common folk whose roots run strong and deep. This book also includes more than 100 photographs, both archival and newly created, including one taken at Shenandoah National Park near Old Rag Mountain. The book was edited by Mari-Lynn Evans, Holly George-Warren, and Robert Santelli. The Smithsonian Institution has declared 2004 “The Year of Appalachia.” This wondrous book joins in the celebration of one of our nation’s richest areas through its look at the people, history, and culture of the Appalachian region. The book is available locally at the Old Sperryville Bookshop. ‘Yard sale event of the year’ set for Saturday, Sept. 4 By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News Folks in Rappahannock County call it the yard sale event of the year. At eight in the morning of Saturday, Sept. 4, the doors will open at the meeting hall of the Washington Fire Hall for the third annual sale conducted by the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee. The furniture, kitchenware, tools, household equipment, paintings, sports equipment, and some very special antiques Flowers From Page B1 distributed for planting and tending. Wildflowers are harvested in their seasons, and hung to dry in barns and attics all over the county. Weeds, such as dock, butterfly weed, and goldenrod, are scavenged from pasture and roadside. Starting in August, foliage is prepared. Box, make up an assortment that is virtually unmatched in yard, garage, or rummage sales. The collection of materials is truly eclectic, offered, of course, at traditionally low yard sale prices. Want to know where to find a pair of very nice kitchen chairs, in excellent condition? Be at the fire house in Washington good and early that Saturday, and you’ll see them, if they have not been snapped up. Here’s another that will be waiting for you: a beech, pear, and pin oak are conditioned so that they remain fresh-looking for years. All this preparation will be put to use in the Parish Hall of Trinity Church starting in September when the flower arrangers go to work. There, the weeds of the roadsides, bits of wire and foam, and fantastical containers are transformed by the arrangers’ magic into arrangements of lasting swivel chair made of oak. One family is bringing the entire household of a relative who passed away. Everything from the attic to the basement will be on display. The book collection being offered is limited to: • Books for children; • Books about cooking; • Books in the “how-to” category. The first folks, many of them dealers—people who know their bargains—show up at eight in the morning. beauty. Proceeds from this annual fund-raiser are distributed to charities both in the county and outside it, and the Episcopal Church Women (ECW), makes sure that all proceeds do as much good as they can. Last year over 350 arrangements were offered for sale, making the total for the 47 years of the fund-raiser into the tens of thousands. The Dried Flower Sale, in Refreshments go on sale at 10 o’clock: coffee, tea, ice tea, plus homemade cookies and brownies. The purpose of the sale is to finance citizen education and promote civic values and understanding. There also will be a voter registration booth near the door. Everyone is welcome.

Packing Shed From Page B1 from 3-6 p.m. The Washington Society of Landscape Painters, which maintains a tradition of paint-outs (plein air painting), can trace its beginnings to 1913 when two painters set up easels outdoors near each other on a Sunday afternoon to paint the landscape. As they began painting on a regular basis, other enthusiastic painters who enjoyed plein air painting joined them. The group, first known as the Ramblers, had grown to nine members by 1917. The basic philosophy of the group, stated in the opening chapter of the logbook, was to paint on-site and enjoy the comradeship and aesthetic criticism of fellow artists. As the informal group grew in membership, they organized in 1919 into a more formal association know as the Landscape Club of Washington, D.C., limiting membership to 40 members of men only, thinking women would not be able to maneuver in difficult terrain or endure cold weather. The group had its first exhibition in 1919 when local newspapers began reporting on club activities and exhibitions. Automotive and train transportation made it possible for artists to paint farther from the Washington area so that by the mid-1920s many painting expeditions became a two or three day event. The group remained active through the 1930s, holding several exhibitions a year as well as a formal annual banquet, up until World War II at which time activities were curtailed. After the war, the club resumed with new vigor in its tradition of plein air painting and informal critiques, but documentation of their activities began to decline in the 1950s and 60s, to the point they had very little press coverage during the 60s. In the mid 1980s, documentation of club activities was once more revived and the name was changed to the Washington Society of Landscape Painters. Women were accepted in the society in 1993 and the annual banquets were resumed in 1995. The tradition continues with paint-outs, critiques and comradeship among professional artists, college professors, art instructors, museum employees and government workers. To date, the society is quite active with monthly paint-outs, quarterly meetings and several exhibitions a year.

Inspiring TiwiujfiU by Randy Minter A RAY OF LIGHT The discovery of a tomb near Dublin shows the elaborate steps taken by ancients to link themselves with immortality. As the sun rises on the day of winter solstice, a narrow ray of light makes its way through a precisely positioned slit in the roof near the entrance of the prehistoric underground tomb. From there, it shoots down a 6foot passageway, lights up the floor of the tomb’s main chamber, and then illuminates the inner chamber s floor, bisecting the chamber and highlighting designs carved in rock. The precision of this astronomical feat is all the more impressive since the calculations indicate the gapped roof was designed to catch the winter sun as it appeared more than 5,100 years, ago. Figuring out what to do is difficult sometimes when it comes to honoring a loved one. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, we can help you with that process.

There has been research and reporting on the .Civil War engagement that happened at VlEWTOWN 1 Linda Hitt 937-4221 _ V* , Battle Mountain on July 24, 1863. Here is some material concerning those days just after the event. According to the book “Custer And His Wolverines” by Edward Longacre, Custer and his brigade retreated back to camp in Amissville after the engagement. Longacre cites the diary account of John R. Morey to give us an idea of the events following. Morey was a member of Custer’s Michigan Brigade. Here is what he recorded. “Camped in Amissville, the Wolverines restocked haversacks and feedbags from the surrounding countryside as well as from their supply wagons. When pitching camp in that rich farming region, Custer had been deliberately contradictory in instructing everyone. He told them to “be sure not to steal anything, but take all you want.” The injunction was well received and closely followed: by July 29, 1863, John Morey reported, he and his messmates were enjoying “plenty of chicken and all kinds of fresh meat was confiscated. “When not rifling the neighborhood for beef fowl, or mutton, the troopers patrolled the roads toward Thornton’s Gap as well as eastward toward Warrenton and southward toward Culpeper. Patrols discovered few uniformed Confederates in any of those directions, although bushwackers often attacked the brigades picket lines. These operations were done with ease since most Confederate troops were now concentrating around Culpeper.” Drive a Few Miles. Save 10’s of Thousands!
