Film director Ron Maxwell at the podium was the moderator. Behind him are panelists Bob Bechel, left, political analyst and veteran of White House.and Democratic campaigns and George Terwilliger, former deputy attorney general and a leading Republican attorney in the Bush/Gore litigation in 1990. The forum, sponsored by Debbie and Jim Donehey and Alexia Morrison, and organized by Monica Worth, was a bi-partisan effort to help inform voters. Election Day almost here Where to cast your vote By Briar S. Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer With only five days remaining until the election, Rappahannock County Registrar Nancy Newlin wants to be sure all residents know when and where to cast their vote. “When voters came into our office to register,” she said, “they gave me their street address and were then assigned a polling place for Nov. 2. There are six throughout the county.” Those six are: Washington Volunteer Fire Department (101st precinct); Amissville Volunteer Fire Department (201st precinct); Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department (301st precinct); Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Scrabble (401st precinct); Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department (501st precinct); and the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department (502nd precinct). All locations are open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. on election day. “It is important that voters go to the polling place in the area in which they are registered,” stressed Newlin. “The location is listed on the voter registra tion card.” Voters are required to bring appropriate identification to the polling place. Acceptable forms of ID include: voter registration card, social security card, valid Virginia driver’s license. ID issued by a state or federal government agency, or an employee card with See VOTE, Page A12 66 It is important that voters go to the polling place in the area in which they are registered. Nancy Newlin Registrar Hunting season is almost here; game warden is not By Briar S. Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer When firearms deer season opens in Rappahannock County next month, it will be without a resident game warden in place. One has been hired, however, by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. He is currently attending the department's 32-week training academy in Richmond, Va. and will report to Rappahannock in April of next year. The recent retirement of Sgt. Jim Bankston left Rappahannock County without a resident game warden. Not to worry, said Sheriff Larry Sherertz. “All of my deputies are exofficio game wardens, and will be on Meetings & Notices • Oct. 28 is the last day the Registrar’s Office will mail absentee ballots. Absentee voters have until Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. to vote in person at the Registrar’s Office. • On Thursday, Oct. 28 there will be a Special Education Advisory Council meeting at the Rappahannock County High , School library at 3:45 p.m. The topic will be Creating a Parent/ Teacher Resource Center. • Daylight-saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 31. Clocks should be turned back one hour. County fire chiefs urge residents to put new batteries in all smoke detectors each time clocks are changed. Moving the clock back one hour this weekend is a good reminder. • On Monday, Nov. 1, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the county courthouse on Gay Street.

Owen Bullard of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries in Fredericksburg, agreed. “Rappahannock will not be without oversight,” he said. Rappahannock County falls under District 54, along with Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Greene. Normally, there are seven resident game wardens in the district—two in Culpeper, two in Fauquier, one in Rappahannock, one in Madison and one in Greene. Right now, there is just one in Fauquier and one in Madison. Capt. Dabney Watts, law enforcement manager for Region 5 of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries said two more wardens will be in place within the next few months. “We are taking steps to provide extra coverage for District 54,” he said. “We will bring in wardens from other districts to provide oversight until we have the rest of the resident game wardens in place.” Watts said the staffing shortage was due to normal attrition and that See HUNTERS, Page A12 City boy becomes local pig farmer By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Six years ago John Kiser traded his Washington, D.C. life to become a Washington, Va. pig farmer. While in D.C., Kiser owned his own technology search company—Kiser Research Inc.—and had been a “weekender” in Rappahannock for about 30 years. He loved the county so much that six years ago he decided it was time for him to change his lifestyle, and enjoy life doing what he liked. Kiser sold his company and off he went to the beautiful sights of Meadow Green Farm in Slate Mills, Va. Over the years he got to know Bryant Lee of Washington, and there is where he bought his first pig—Miss Piggy. She was a true pet and he kept her for at least seven years before what he called “the eucharistic feast of oneness between man and beast.” He then raised just two pigs for awhile. Last year, he got serious about raising pigs. He decided to go from the pet stage to the small commercials scale with 12 to 14 pigs. This year, he has 65 pigs of various sizes and five sows, he said, to produce real net revenue. Kiser’s pigs get all the iron they need right from Meadow Green’s rich Rappahannock clay soil. Kiser’s Yorkshire pigs are raised on grass, grubs, fruit deemed unpalatable to fussy humans, fresh Kiser kitchen garbage and according to season, small amounts of antibiotic-free grain and com. No herbicides or pesticides have touched his pastures for years. The only fertilizer comes from the animals themselves. They have lots of space and therefore a low stress environment. They roam, they dig, they graze. Kiser let his pigs be pigs. “They don’t get fat fast gorging themselves on antibiotic-laced feed,”he said, “but slowly and naturally on our high protein fescue grass.” Kiser pigs are not confined. They are raised as close to their natural condition as possible. The pigs live in a luxurious, historic 19th century barn when it is too cold or hot to be outside. They have shelters available as well. Kiser said he does not medicate his pigs except in cases of acute illness “which has not yet occurred. We do not ring, castrate, clip their eye teeth or dock their Rappahannock News Staff Photo.

When you are making travel plans for northern Virginia, did on TimesCommunity. cm and event prwew*. People Beau‘tree’ful memories The Trinity Church parking lot—also known as the town square—was once a hubbub of activity housing a gas station, a sandwich shop and a repair garage turned antique shop. Many years ago, as those businesses and buildings faded, Trinity bought the lot for parking. For some time, it was part gravel and part concrete foundation. In 1979, the Episcopal Church Women under the leadership of Marie Kilpatrick took on paving and landscaping the parking lot. This included the planting of a beautiful Bradford pear tree. Sadly, that tree reached the limit of its years this fall. It was much older than Bradfords generally live, had been irreparably damaged by the summer’s storms, and had become dangerous. Now the Bradford has been removed, and with the Inn at Little Washington's assistance, a new Japanese Zelcova put in its place. The new planting was blessed by Rev. Jennings Hobson III on Sunday.

Halloween has significance, historically and personally When most people think of Halloween, the images that come to mind include jack-olantems, trick-or-treating, candy com, and costumes. Although all of this will be a part of Halloween in Sperryville as Main Street business owners pass out candy treats, there also will be an event that reflects elements of the Christian influence in the evolution of this holiday. Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festi Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@iglide.net val of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on Nov. 1. This day marked the end of summer and harvest and the beginning of the cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on Oct. 31, the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred and that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Salem VFD to host Halloween party The Salem Volunteer Fire Department on Route 522 will host a Halloween Party Saturday, Oct. 30 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be food, games, prizes, music and dancing, costume contest, cake walk, musical chairs, pumpkin carving, and the “Chamber of Spooktacular.” Admission is free.

You may notice by now that the beautiful Bradford Washington Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 Pear tree located in the town square by the water fountain has been cut down and replaced with a Japanese Zelcova tree. The old tree held a lot of memories for some of the people that live in town. It was a place where they could sit on the park bench, eat an ice cream cone from the Country Cafe, enjoy the beautiful waterfall from the fountain, or just watch the people go by. We can always keep the memories of the tree in our heart.

As misguided as this is, the Celts were a superstitious people dependent upon the volatile natural world and they actually believed these prophecies would offer them a source of direction during the dark winter. By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. Pope Gregory III designated Nov. 1 as All Saint’s Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. By setting the date of this celebration to correspond with the date of the pagan festival, the church was able to bring descendants of the ancient Celts into Christianity, thus reflecting one of the basic tenets of the Christian faith—overcome evil with good. When some of the supernatural ideas persisted in All Saints Day celebrations, the church tried to give these traditions more direction by developing All Souls Day, an occasion to recognize ^11 Christian dead. It was celebrated with bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints. Tbgether, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day were called Hallowmas which I we know today as Halloween. Historically, most churches have questioned what their rightful role in the acknowledgement of Halloween should be. because of its association with All Saints Eve. One Sperryville church, Reynolds Memorial Baptist, has found a possible answer by providing a safe event that is a fun Christian learning opportunity at the same time. Organized by the senior high youth, HolyWeen will take place at the church on Sunday, Oct. 31 from 7-9 p.m. The Holy-Ween party for kids of all ages includes traditional games, prizes and a bonfire. In its tenth year, this annual event encourages kids to dress as Bible characters but this is not required. Pastor Jon Heddleston said, “We want to provide appropriate activities for youth of all ages and the bonfire is always a blast. Adults are welcome, too.” Kids who are trick-or-treating on Halloween night can always stop by afterwards, even if it’s just to join in the fun of the bonfire. For more information contact pastor Jon at 987-8137. Special Halloween For one couple in Sperryville, it is their own per sonal history of Halloween that is special. Ray and Wynn Ludwig were married on Oct 31, 1967 by a justice of the peace in Old Town Alexandria. When asked why they chose Halloween as their wedding date, Wynn replied, “It is such an exciting time of year with fall and the change of seasons It seemed appropriate since mar riage is kind of a mystery anyway.” Wynn’s wedding band which is a puzzle nng, seems tc echo the sentiment about the mystery of marriage. Her senst of humor has probably contributed greatly to the couple's successful marriage. Wynn quips that Ray was “my knight in a white charger” when she shared that he drove a white Dodge Charger at the time he proposed to her. She went on to joke, “I was a blushing bride until midnight and then I turned into a witch and I’ve been one for 37 years.’ Wynn also likes the idea tlial every year on their anniversaiy people in costumes are celebrating and enjoying themselves Since it has lasted 37 years, it appears as if their marriage die not turn out to be a trick, but s real treat. Happy anniversary Wynn and Ray. The margin is narrow, but the responsibility is clear. John E Kennedy I I Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.

At the head of a government caught massively by surprise after years of ignoring radical Islamic terrorism, Bush rallied his forces and moved expeditiously to gird homeland defense and destroy the Taliban who had sheltered the headquarters of this world movement. We and millions of other Americans commended him. He said in the aftermath of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks that the priority of his administration would be the war on terror, but it has not. The president indulged himself first in a massive tax cut, a core Republican issue, when the costs of national preparedness and global war meant astronomical increases in the deficit. The tax cut has not turned around the economy and it is an economy as much injured by the war in Iraq as by the Sept. 11 attacks. It needed the Bush team’s leadership and imagination to get us out of the doldrums and that has been lacking. His administration hurriedly passed a series of measures— the Patriot Act—which have not been shown to be effective, but that have put almost unacceptable restrictions on Americans. The Bush administration has sequestered hundreds without trial or explanation both here and abroad and has proposed dubious military tribunals to try suspects virtually in secret and without representation. In a sense, many of these acts undercut the very nature of the democracy we are trying to defend. His idea to invade Iraq, preemptive war, he called it, has gone awry. In the haste of the administration to get support for the war without real domestic or international debate, the administration failed to plan how to carry out the peace. Now 19 months after the invasion, young Americans are dying almost everyday trying to stabilize a country with decades of turmoil behind it and no leadership of its own. Mr. Bush has had four years to show how he will lead tjlis country. He has failed to meet the test of leadership. The tasks that lie ahead for our next president combine formidable challenges with severely constrained resources that will require the best leadership we can get. The challenges we face—whether it is how to restore fiscal responsibility to a government overwhelmed by debt and bleeding revenue; how to maintain the financial viability of the Social Security System which provides the sole source of income for many seniors; how to rein in the costs of prescription drugs that force too many Americans to choose between medication and other necessities of life; or how to, ensure the basic promises of a democratic society pf civil liberties, the right to privacy, equality of justice, separation of church and state, and keeping our word under our international treaties—these challenges cannot and will not be met by simply hailing the mission as accomplished or saying that freedom is on the march or we are staying the course. Yet, it is sucn platitudes tnat tne tsusn aamimsirauon offers the American people for the future. And, they call that leadership. The American people are a worried people, and not only about terrorism and the war in Iraq. We have lost jobs, seen our incomes decline, wonder how we will pay to heat our homes this winter, and hope we will get to the front of the line before the flu vaccine runs out. But the president says the economy is growing, we need more tax cuts, and we can ask Canada to share some of its flu vaccine. That’s the same Canada we can’t get lower cost prescription drugs from because they might kill us. The challenges we face are the legacy of the president’s first term. We can ill afford a second term. The support for Senator Kerry for president comes as much from an opposition to what President Bush has done in his first term and might do in a second as it is an assuredness of what a President Kerry will do. But the promise is there. Senator Kerry has dedicated his life to public service, beginning as a volunteer Navy lieutenant in Vietnam. He was a prosecuting attorney and lieutenant governor of his home state, and brings a long career in the U.S. Congress to this campaign. He is intellectually curious and reflective in his decisions and willing to accept changed circumstances as requiring reconsideration. He is a man of faith who unde" stands the line between what he believes and what the government should mandate. He has sought to motivate the voters with hope, not fear. We believe a Kerry presidency will get the country back on course at home, restore our reputation and alliances around the world, and bring hope to all of us about the future. We hear again and again that this is the most importan election of our times. We agree. The choice between Mr. Bush and Senator Kerry seems to have equally divided the country. We hope the choice the voters will make on Election Day will bring the country back together. We believe the better choice is John F. Kerry for president.

Letters ‘What is at issue here is theft and destruction’ I In reference to the story about sign stealing and destruction in the Oct. 21 edition of the Rappahannock News: I don’t know which is the the more depressing: the report that campaign signs (apparently mainly Bush/Cheney) were stolen or destroyed along Route 522, the Fodderstack Road, and elsewhere in the county; or, the Sheriff’s peculiar statement on the matter, “I’m not seeing an issue here at all.” What is at issue here is theft and destruction (as the Rappahannock News correctly headlines) of private property and in some cases trespass as well. What is also at issue is the unlawful (and obnoxious) behavior of some lowlife within the county. The least the Sheriff can do is make an effort to deter, if not prevent, recurrence and even, perhaps, capture the culprit or culprits. RJL Dickey Huntly ‘Our county has become very desirable to some very deep pockets’ I received my personnel property tax bill this week and was not shocked, as it was the same amount last year. I did however have a question concerning my bill so I called the revenue office. After the very helpful person answered my question, we started chatting about the cur, rent tax situation in our beautiful county. We both marveled at the increase in property values and subsequent rise of the tax rate. I asked if there was any end to the increases in sight. She said, “not likely, at the prices houses and land are going for around here.” She went on to say there was going to be another assessment next year. That really got me thinking of all the elderly people with fixed incomes who have lived the better part of their fives in the county, most with a nice old house and a good piece of land. I thought of the single income families, like my own, trying to make a nice life for their children. Make no mistake; we are on the way to pricing a lot of the long time residents out of the county. I did a little research on the subject and was quite surprised to find several states already have some sort of tax relief programs to aide those in several different categories. The most common form of relief for homeowners is referred to as a “homestead exemption” which allows a partial exemption of the assessed value of the person’s principal residence. The exemption may apply to all property taxes levied against the homestead or be restricted to a subset, usually school levies. In 14 states, a fixed amount of the homestead value is exempt from the property tax, ranging from $1,000 in Oklahoma to $52,500 in some South Carolina jurisdictions. In other states, the exempt value is determined as a percentage of market value. Ohio exempts 12.5 percent of owner-occupied property while South Dakota provides a full exemption (100 percent) from state taxes and Michigan’s full exemption for homestead property applies to school levies. Another approach is the “Circuit-breaker” relief program. It places limits on the proportion of an individual’s or household’s income that can be collected as property taxes and the excess taxes are waived, rebated, or credited against income tax obligations. If property taxes exceed a threshold percentage of income, the refund equals a percentage of the tax over the threshold, up to a maximum amount. As income increases, the threshold percentage increases; the portion of tax over the threshold that the taxpayer must pay increases; and the maximum refund decreases. Five states—Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Vermont, and Wisconsin—cur rently have circuit breaker relief programs for all homeowners. Of the many factors that ( are contributing to our quickly rising tax rates, development is the main villain. Throngs of people are quickly being pushed to our county due to the over-development of every other county that has a development friendly board of supervisors. Our county has become very desirable to some very deep pockets. I think it’s a shame the people who have weaved the fabric of our beautiful county for so long a period are being priced right out of the wonderfiil places we live. Tax relief measures appear on voting ballots every so often; it will pay to educate ourselves and vote to keep Rappahannock and its longtime residents safe and happy at home. Mark Raiford Amissville ‘We have struggled over this decision for quite some time’ The Board of Directors of the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company voted unanimously to declare the fire hall a non-smoking building. The vote came in light of general health and new information about the dangers of second-hand smoke. Not the least was the projected cost of more than $2,000 to service the smoke eaters in the Company’s meeting hall. The new non-smoking status will be effective Monday, Nov. 1. We in the Fire and Rescue Company have struggled over this decision for quite some time. We have been encouraged in this step by many of the regulars at Bingo who are also ardent smokers. They know it is healthier for them and for us. We encourage everyone to join us for Early Bird Bingo, now smoke-free, at 6:45 p.m. on Mondays. Jack Atkins President Amissville Fire and Rescue Company ‘We appreciate your support and generosity’ The members of the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department would like to thank all those who helped make our first Ambulance Fund fund-raising event a big success. With the generous support of the community, both in donations and in cus tomers, we raised $1,704.51 towards our goal of replacing our 17 year old backup p ambulance with a new Advanced Life F Support vehicle. y We still have a long way to go toward reaching our goal. Keep us in mind for a spring yard sale. As always, we strive to provide the best ossible service for all the citizens of appahannock County and we appreciate aur support and generosity. Ann Spieker Chief, Company 1, Washington Reader offers option for affordable housing Bob Taylor from Habitat for Humanity was a guest speaker at the Washington Baptist Church Men’s Brotherhood Breakfast on Oct. 17. The program, as ' described by Mr. Taylor, provides needy families with new homes. The challenge with Rappahannock and surrounding counties is finding suitable, if any, building lots. The creation of affordable housing thrpugh Habitat for Humanity might be a viable possibility for our county. In addition to land, vacant, old, deteriorating structures can be potential Habitat projects. If Rappahannock County community leaders, Habitat for Humanity, landowners, supervisors and the county administrator join forces and discuss all the possibilities, a program to serve our community and residents could be a reality. ^ An example of community alliance that would serve all: a landowner would receive a determined monetary allocation, the community would receive an affordable housing option, and a Rappahannock resident in need would receive a home. But the best gift of all would be the genuine community support and gratification of “helping your neighbor” and, in this case “neighbor helping neighbor.” I realize this is not a simple task and that this is just an outline of possibilities, but it is also an outline of a possible solution to a growing problem. Affordable housing is not an option in Rappahannock County. Maybe we can make it one for our residents. Evelyne Latham Washington

Opinion Reelect Bush to finish the war on terrorism The Rappahannock News' endorsement for president is published in this issue, a week before the election which, unfortunately, gives no time for readers to reply. In an effort to be balanced, we invited one of our readers to write an opposing view. If the presidential election of 2004 were like past elections, it might be easy to make a persuasive case for electing a new president. Americans are beset by enough problems to spell political defeat for an incumbent: an economy that has lost jobs on his watch, high gas prices, increasing healthcare problems, a foreign war costing American lives, and more. Why then is the Democratic challenger, Sen. John Kerry, not running 10 points ahead of President George Bush in the polls leading up to next week’s vote? I think it’s because most Americans realize that The Forum James P. | Gannon the election of 2004 is not like past elections. This is the first presidential election after the attack on America on September 11, 2001, the first election in the new age of radical Islamic terrorism, the first election in which the choice of a commander-inchief has consequences far outweighing other issues. Since the attack of 9/11, President Bush has demonstrated his clear understanding of the threat facing America, his total commitment to national security, and his unwavering leadership in the war on terror. By destroying the terrorist havens in Afghanistan, by toppling the evil Saddam ‘My vote will go to Kerry’ It is now clear that the Bush administration’s fiscal promises made during the 2000 election have been broken so I ask you to consider whether you can trust Mr. Bush’s current promises for the next four years. Review these facts and see if it’s easier to decide. In direct contradiction to his promise four years ago to ensure social security benefits for our citizens, our retirement and disability system has become more vulnerable. The president is using the social security surplus, which will be needed in the next few years when baby-boomers start to retire in record numbers, to fund his tax cuts. Bush’s proposed budget for the future would spend the entire surplus over the next five years to cover the administration’s tax cuts for the affluent and corporate elite. In contradiction to Bush’s promise to make health care more affordable, citizens are paying record increases for their healthcare and prescriptions, or may not have healthcare benefits at all. The Medicare Bill did not help those that needed it most, but instead helped the large pharmaceutical companies get richer. In contradiction to Bush’s promise to protect our country’s industries, this administration’s tax and trade policies have been called a “disaster” by many in Congress, including Senator Byrd of West Virginia, with record numbers of jobs being lost overseas. Bush promised us he would be a prudent, responsible steward of our country’s fiscal policies. He said he would pay down the existing $2 trillion debt of 2001 during the next 10 years. Instead, our gross national debt has increased to almost $7 trillion over the next few years with a current $521 billion deficit for fiscal 2004. He eroded the surplus during his first year of office and has continued to follow the path of fiscal irresponsibility, spending money he doesn’t have. Warnings have been issued to the Bush administration by Alan Greenspan of the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund—which is usually busy servicing thirdworld debt—former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and U.S. comptroller general David Walker. Currently, these warnings fall on deaf ears. Does this sound like a President who keeps his promises or even cares about their outcome? Mr. Bush never needed to apply for financial aid for college or choose between groceries or medication. So, choose wisely on election day for the individual who is more fiscally responsible. It will be our children and grandchildren who receive the legacy of a huge debt burden, while their education and healthcare programs are undermined and underfunded. Do you want to “stay the course?” I don’t. My vote will go to Kerry. Rita Rowand Orlean Hussein regime in Iraq, and by unflinching commitment to fight on to win a popular democracy there, Bush has shown the gritty resolve of a strong leader. Senator Kerry has spent much of the year striving to convince Americans that he is fit to be commander-in-chief. He has made much of his four months of service in Vietnam, his three Purple Hearts, and his campaign promises to vigorously fight terrorism, but his case is unconvincing because of his troubling record on national security in the last 30 years and his incoherent position on the war in Iraq. America has never elected a president with a record on national security like Sen. Kerry’s. We have never elected a military veteran who returned from a war to brand his country’s fighting men as war criminals, as Kerry did in Senate testimony in 1971 after returning from Vietnam. We have never elected a pres ident who voted against fighting blatant aggression that was condemned by the United Nations, as Sen. Kerry did in voting against the first Gulf War in 1991—after Saddam Hussein had invaded and occupied Kuwait. We have never elected a president who voted against supplying the funds to support our troops after he voted to send them to war, as Kerry did in opposing the $87 billion needed by American forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. President Bush can be faulted fairly for lacking a plan to secure the peace after toppling Saddam in Iraq. The Pentagon botched the postSaddam phase in Iraq, with too few troops to suppress the insurgency, and too slow an effort to rebuild and reach out to the Iraqis. But even so the Iraqi people still have a good chance to hold elections, create a government, and build a peaceful democracy in the Middle East, and this chance must not be lost. ‘I urge everyone to review George Bush’s record’ before voting Four years ago I asked Rappahannock News’ readers to consider George Bush’s record (remember, “The Record, the Record, the Record”) before casting a vote for president. A neighbor weighed in a week later, explaining that all of the abysmal progress of Texas under George Bush’s six years as governor was due to the Democrats who controlled the Texas legislature. So here we are four years later—another abysmal record. • The boast from George Bush that he is a uniter, not a divider, is painful for all of us to consider. • The Social Security trust fund has been emptied by $507 billion. • Medicare has been cut by 17 percent. • After terrifying us into believing that we had to quickly wage war with Iraq to insure weapons of mass destruction were not used against America, we have found out that this was completely unfounded. The president spent $1,200,000,000 for 1,500 highly trained professionals to work for 18 months to look for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq—yet not one shred of evidence was found to support his claims. . • Despite inheriting a 10year projected surplus of $5.6 trillion, George Bush has us now facing a $5.2 trillion deficit over 10 years, for our ‘On Nov. 2, fire the bums’ I am dismayed. How can the richest and most powerful nation in history not have enough flu vaccine for its citizens? The cry of no profit from the drug industry just boils my blood. It seems to have tons of dollars to buy advertisements and thousands of persons to lobby our elected officials. Both the White House and Congress should be held in account for another bungle. They were warned of a shortage and the folly of having only one or two manufacturers and they did nothing—again. Why do we subsidize tobacco and not medicine? Why do Chinese fan manufacturers get tax breaks and the middle class pays more and more? We are told more vaccine is on the way—by January— meanwhile the flu bugs are now here. I am ashamed of us. How can we see older, infirm and disabled people standing in lines for hours to finally be told there is no vaccine available and not be ashamed? People are going to die, people who with the vaccine, would have had a chance. We are asking Canada to bail us out. This is the same Canada who is not allowed to sell us drugs because they may be unsafe. Canada has a government-run medical system and they have the vaccine and affordable drugs. We are told how bad it is not to let NOTICE 2004 Rappahannock County taxes have been mailed and must be paid on or before December 5, 2004 to avoid penalty. Failure to receive a bill through the mail does not relieve the taxpayer of any additional charges that will accrue under law for failure to pay within the prescribed time. Treasurer's office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Frances A. Foster Treasurer 540-675-5360 the medical industries make its profits and we have unaffordable health care and a lack of vaccines. What is wrong with this picture? I ask the question: are we better off now than we were four years ago? Before George Bush decided to ignore the briefing warning him about hijacked airplanes flying into buildings and Osama; before we invaded a country and asked our brave soldiers to die See HOSTETTER, Page A12 children and grandchildren to pay. • The president proudly presided over a prescription drug bill which gave wealthy drug companies an incredible windfall worth $139 billion in profits by making it illegal for the government to negotiate lower drug prices with drug companies. • Only industry lobbyists and like-minded people were allowed at the table to craft the nation’s energy plan. People who might dissent— consumer groups and conservationists—were not invited. Within a year the administration had given billions in subsidies to energy firms and begun weakening pollution laws while opening up wilderness areas to exploitation. The administration misled people by calling a plan to weaken pollution controls the Clear Skies’ initiative. As one example, a new law allowed coalburning power plants to avoid installing pollution-control equipment during renovations. • Four years ago, and again this month, the president proposed dismantling Social Security by converting portions of it to private investment accounts, a major payoff to the financial services industry that would shift enormous risk to individuals who would have to rely on the vagaries of the stock market to build retirement savings. The fist goes on and on and on. This time around though, the president has some difficulty in avoiding responsibility—the presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Supreme Court for the most part have been in George Bush’s hands. I again urge everyone in Rappahannock to review George Bush’s record before casting their vote. Floyd Stilley Washington Flint Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company OPEN HOUSE?

But how could a President Kerry persuade any country to join him in what he’s called “a diversion” from the war on terrorism, a “wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time”? The election of Kerry as president would undoubtedly be interpreted by the world— both our fair-weather allies and our terrorist enemies—as a repudiation of America's policy in Iraq. This wotild encourage and embolden the terrorists, feed Iraqi doubts about America’s resolve, and trigger street celebrations in Paris, where anything that weakens American power is cheered. Beyond these national security considerations, I support Bush because I know what he believes and trust his straight talk explaining it. Because of my Catholic faith, I cannot vote for Kerry—a man who says he’s Catholic (and says he believes human life begins at conception) but votes to support the right to abortion in all circumstances, even partial-birth abortion; who says he opposes same-sex marriage, but voted against the Defense of Marriage Act; and who promises a pro-abortion litmus test for Supreme Court justices, in effect erecting a religious test for office that would rule out faithful Catholics, among others. If Kerry's deeply held moral convictions have no influence on his official decisions—as he has said—what guides him besides pure politics? Ultimately, the choice for president boils down to issues of character. On character grounds, it is an easy choice for me. I lack confidence in Kerry as a leader and as a man of conviction. I vote to give Bush a chance to wun the war the terrorists started, and to signal the world that America will not flinch in that fight. ‘Let’s let Bush finish what he’s started’ I spoke to Josh Waddell Sunday evening. He is a close friend of my oldest son. They grew up together. About 18 years ago this same time of year, those two little boys went camping. With father at hand, the tiger cubs camped. Both boys were slightly smaller than the rest. They had button noses and wide eyes. I’m hearing the voice of a man who has called from Afghanistan. How wonderful it is that our technology has advanced to the point that a young soldier can call his good old buddy from his camn at war. It. was like talking on a walkie talkie. I said, “Hello Josh, are you there?” and after a few seconds delay, “Yeah.” Our exchange was brief. I asked him if he was close to any violence. “Of course, I’m in Afghanistan,” he replied. “It’s all around me.” “I’m praying for you, Josh.” “Thank you.” “Are you afraid?” His “no” in reply didn’t seem as delayed as his other responses. I said, “Josh, would you feel safer if Bush was reelected?” Josh said that he would feel safe if President Bush was reelected. I told him I’d hand the phone back to my son so he could do some campaigning for Bush. Oh, how this is all reminds me of the election of 1970. Back in those days we had to be 21 years old to vote. Some men were in Vietnam for two years and yet could not vote because they still were not 21 years old. They were old enough to put their lives on the line for their countiy, but too young to have a choice. Thank God that has changed. The political climate today reminds me of the Vietnam era. As a veteran from that era, I can tell you how disheartening it is for a soldier at war not to have the backing of his fellow countrymen. They are why men and women go into the military. Our soldiers are protecting our homeland. Don’t let them feel like their country doesn’t back them. Let’s let Bush finish what he’s started. Then perhaps, unlike the Vietnam war, this war might be won. The issues of those days prompted burning of draft cards, burning bras and burning the American flag, and fighting for the right to kill unborn babies. What message did we send to our front-line soldiers then? We discouraged them. One of our soldiers in Afghanistan says he supports the efforts of our president. He is there and knows first hand what he is doing there. If anyone is still undecided about who to vote for, maybe they would consider the wellbeing of Josh and other military persons who would feel safer with Bush as president. Words cannot express the overwhelming feelings I experienced by receiving a call from the battlefield. I just wanted to share with you, so I have. Thank you for letting me do it.

Opinion Statesmen, now is the time Jenkins Hollow — A neighbor and I were chatting at a local market just before the presidential debates. He was bom and raised in these mountains, and I learned that he is a combat veteran who served in both Korea and Vietnam. “I like both men,” he said as we were leaving. “I just wish they would tell us the truth.” Truth is the first casualty in politics, someone has said. This has been the most vicious political campaign in my adult lifetime, full of lies, distortion, character assassination, and fear-mongering. The news media, caught up in the drama of a very close race, have wittingly or unwittingly participated in the spin doctoring. No wonder so many Americans feel alienated and disgusted with the electoral process. To me. the single most important issue facing us is the war in Iraq. President Bush and Senator Kerry agree that free and fair elections there are key to our ability to exit honorably and responsibly. If elections are held on time next January' as President Bush and interim Prime Minister Allavvi have promised, if all factions of the population participate and accept the results as legitimate, U.S. forces can pull back late next year to the relative security of a dozen military bases in Iraq. Our military role will Mountain Echoes BL Catron recede as Iraqi forces acquire greater capability and legitimacy. We can then turn attention to the long-delayed reconstruction effort, and we can set a timetable for orderly withdrawal over the next several years. The stakes could not be higher. If credible elections prove impossible, Iraq will erupt in a civil wrar that our occupying army will be powerless to end. The result: Quagmire, and eventual ignominious withdrawal. The Iraqis will not accept a partial election or postponement. And the American people, half of w’hom already believe that the w'ar was a mistake or not worth the cost, will turn decisively against the war next year. The window of opportunity is very narrow, and the odds against success are increasing every day. The insurgency in the Sunni Triangle must be pacified, and Baathists and foreign Islamic militants must be neutralized. U.S. election experts say that preparations must be “accelerated dramatically if the voting is to be held on schedule.” (Iraq Vote Faces Growing Troubles, Washington Post, Oct. 19.) Candidates for the 275-member national assembly have not declared themselves, and voter registration, requiring 6,000 Iraqis at 550 sites, has not even begun. Some 120,000 people are needed to staff 30,000 polling places in January. In a serious setback that might be interpreted as a vote of no confidence, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan just announced that, due to security concerns, the U.N. is “not going to Iraq to monitor the elections in January” as it did in Afghanistan. U S. and coalition forces have neither the resources nor the credibility do the job of insuring free and fair elections. A substantial international peacekeeping force is required, preferably from the Arab world (perhaps led by Saudi Arabia, which has made such an offer) and endorsed by the U.N. Meanwhile, President Bush is preoccupied with his own reelection; top administration officials including his National Security Advisor are making speeches in Ohio, Florida and other “swing states.” Both political parties have recruited an army of lawyers to contest any irregularities. If Nov. 2 does not produce a clear winner in a clean election accepted as fair and legitimate by both parties, the transition period leading up to the Jan. 20 inauguration will be marred; we will hardly be in a position to support elections in Iraq. If we cannot run our own elections successfully, how can we offer ourselves as a model of democracy to the world? Finally, there is the discomfiting possibility of a “November surprise,” for example in the form of an attack on election day by al Qaeda “sleeper cells," which could seriously undermine our electoral process. Now is the time, if ever there was one, to call on our political leaders to act as statesmen, to rise above partisanship and election year politics. Here’s a suggestion-a fantasy, really: Senator Kerry and President Bush should issue a simple joint statement now, pledging mutual support and cooperation— regardless of the outcome of our election— toward the goal of insuring - credible Iraq elections in January. Were the candidates to issue such a pledge, regardless of whom we elect as president and despite all other disagreements and divisions, America will unite in a single-minded purpose.

It says a lot that an ardent supporter of the incumbent Mr. Bush has no better argument for his man than to rehash disproven ugly personal attacks on the challenger, without a single word of actual praise for the man he supports. Only Mr. Marocchi can say for sure if it’s the product of listening to the hateful and wildly inaccurate rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and his many fellow travelers on the radio, MSNBC and FOX. But as both Bush and McCain have said, Kerry is right to be proud of his record in Vietnam. Tb his credit, I’m sv^e Mr. Marocchi is sincere in his belief of the false and misleading statements he repeats. A recent political survey entitled “The Separate Realities of Bush and Kerry Supporters,” conducted with spotlessly scientific methodology by the University of Maryland, shows something important about supporters of the president. Among the more important examples: the bipartisan 9/11 commission, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the Iraq survey group headed by David Kay that Bush appointed have all concluded that Iraq neither had significant WMD nor programs to produce them. Yet 72 percent of Bush supporters wrongly believe the opposite. Just as awful, although the 9/11 commission reported there was no evidence Iraq was providing significant support to A1 Qaeda, 75 percent of Bush supporters mistakenly believe the opposite and 20 percent actually believe Iraq had a role in 9/11. There are many other similar examples, across every aspect of politics and policy. You can look it over yourself online at www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/ ForeignPolicy/Reportl0_01_04. pdfe or just do a Google search. Unlike Mr. Marocchi’s personal attacks on Kerry, these are actual facts. In my opinion, though, it looks a lot like ardent Bush supporters only pay attention to media sources that say what they want to hear. It’s too bad those sources are often wrong and misleading. Other studies have shown that viewers who rely on Fox News are much more likely to be misinformed than those who check a variety of other sources. If you support Bush, check it out and ask yourself if you are really supporting the right man for the right reasons. Whoever wins the election, we should say a prayer for the more than 1,100 dead and 10,000 badly wounded American soldiers overseas, and get ready to pull together across party lines to make the best of this Iraq mess. I say vote Kerry. He has real military combat leadership experience, he is smarter and more articulate, better informed, more realistic, reasonable and less ideological than Bush. As we saw in the debates, Bush speaks in soundbites while Kerry actually thinks. Kerry is the better man for the job.

From left are James Nilan, Alex Shafran, Se-Youn Lim, Derek Perry (in goal) and Patrick Dale. Wakefield Country Day wins fined soccer game, 5-4 The boy’s varsity soccer team at Wakefield Country Day School (WCDS) closed out their season Oct. 19 with a 5-4 win at home against arch-rival Wakefield Inc. WCDS fans braved the steady rain and cold to cheer on the varsity boys in what proved to be an exciting afternoon exchange. It was a close match all the way, with each team taking turns scoring until the final three minutes, when Paul Beattie of Woodville scored the winning goal on a penalty kick. Paul is one of four team members who will be graduating this year, joined by James Nilan of Warrenton (awarded Honorable Mention, All Conference for the Delaney Athletic Conference), Jesse Paul of Warrenton, and Alec Toth of Front Royal, making this, their final game, quite a memorable one. The “Man of the Match” award was given to eighthgrader Keenan Sherwood of Washington, who successfully played man-to-man against Wakefield Inc.’s best player. Recognizing that this was to be a challenging year for the team (their star player Alex Naime graduated last June), team members chose to dedicate the 2004 season to 1999 Wakefield Country Day School graduate Leonard Cowherd, who was killed in May of 2004 while serving his country in Iraq. The team has been wearing arm bands with the number 12 stitched on, which was Leonard’s number when he played for WCDS. This season, the number 12 has become particularly symbolic, since, according to Coach Gali Sanchez, “Soccer often refers to the twelfth man, the support a team receives from the bench, the crowd, and other supporters.” That support was evident during the last game of the season for WCDS. At the conclusion of the game, instead of the traditional “go red” cheer that generally is shouted from their huddle, the Owls called out in unison, “Leonard.” Panthers Netter win 3 more The varsity volleyball team continued to roll last week, defeating Madison County at home 3-1 on Oct. 19, George Mason 3-1 on the road on Oct. 20, and Clarke County 3-2 on the road on Oct. 21 Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker JUNIOR PANTHERS: RCHS junior varsity volleyball player Ella Miller takes the serve against Madison County Oct. 19, while teammates Crystal Heflin (15) and Ashley Vest (9) stand at the ready.

Clayton Hatcher hit the first goal for the Roosters, assisted by Conner O’heir. The Roosters second goal came on an assist from one brother to another as Michael O’heir passed it to his brother Connor for the score. The Blue Lightning rallied late in the game with a goal, but that was all the Madison team could get off Smith Clifton and Dane Wellemeyer, who took turns at goalkeeper.

On a cold, rainy afternoon, the Panthers came as close to perfection as you can get. In cross country, a perfect score is 15 points, adding up the places one through five. The Panthers swept the top four places. Alex Ramey won in 18:29, followed by Kevin Martin (19:13), Josh Makela (19:35), and Will Boelte (20:42). Juan Tisera came in sixth overall in a time of 21:45. “We probably had some perfect scores back when the team won state in the seventies,” RCHS coach Mick Strand said. The Panthers were to host the Bull Run District meet on Oct. 27. “It should be a good race,” Strand said. “Kevin Martin is running well and Alex Ramey is running hard.” Strand said if the Panthers can defeat Strasburg and Manassas Park, they can advance to district. The top 15 individual runners will also advance and be named all-district. “Alex should make all-district,” Strand said. “I think Kevin has a pretty good shot at it, too.” Martin and Makela have been pushing each other both in practice and in the meets. “It’s v pretty good rivalry,” Strand said. “They really push each other and it helps the whole team.” Strand said Tisera ran a personal best, but the rest of the team was a little slower. “I think part of it was the footing,” Strand said. “It was also damp and colder than it had been. Everyone was a little off.” Strand said he was “very proud of the way the team performed in this important meet before the district championships next week.” Other finishers for the Panthers were Ethan Russell, eighth, 21:45; Tom Gillis, ninth, 22:45; Zach Wayland, eleventh, 22:42.

Rappahannock News Photo Ann Spieker Panthers fall to Mustangs, 39-7 By Kevin Seabrooke Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rapphannock County varsity football team lost 39-7 at George Mason last Friday night. The Panthers, 2-6 on the season, have two games left on the schedule, both of them at home. This Saturday is homecoming and RCHS will face Moore Catholic High School from Staten Island, New York. The final game of the year will be against Pendleton County (W.Va.) on Nov. 6. “We’ve only played two schools that we matched up with size-wise this season,” RCHS head coach Kemp Pullin said. “And we won those.” Pullin said that his defense has had trouble with the double-wing, or variations of it, all year. George Mason ran it all night long on Friday, leading 21-0, just before halftime, when the Panthers’ Ethan Berry scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak to make it 21-7 at the break. “Our guys are just not big enough or football smart enough to stop a double-wing offense,” Pullin said. “Clarke, Moorefield and Dominion all ran versions of it.” Pullin said the doublewing is also a power game and that the Panthers just haven’t been able to handle bigger opponents. “Clarke and Moorefield were much bigger,” Pullin said. “I thought we were pretty good, but we haven’t Wakefield honors athletes of the month During an assembly held Oct. 20 in the Wakefield Country Day School auditorium, Allison Russo and Alex Shafran, both Rappahannock County students, were honored as “Athletes of the Month” for September. Allison Russo, a junior from Flint Hill, excelled on the varsity volleyball team this season. Not only did she lead the team in digs, she also was a vital component in the Owls’ late season, three-game winning streak, with her tremendous hustle and determination. In addition to her athletic prowess, Allison has also been a consistent first-honors student.

Junior running back Nick Compton had 84 yards on 20 carries. Berry had 58 yards rushing. The Panthers racked up 154 yards rushing as a team. “We’re getting to where we can move the ball on the ground,” Pullin said. “For two games now, we’ve been able to move it.” Eric Phillips led the Panther defense in tackles, with seven and three assists. “Eric had a great game on defense,” Pullin said.

Walter Day remembered fondly, with humor By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock New s A large, standing-room only crowd of family and friends joined a week ago Wednesday evening at Hearthstone School in Sperryville to bid Walter Day a fond last farewell. The memorial service was a joyous occasion as old friends reminisced about the best known ‘official curmudgeon” of Rappahannock County—a title he accepted with pride. Walter Day, who died unexpectedly at his home in Flint Hill on Sept. 30 at the age of 81, was remembered for a long list of accomplishments and a rather amazing career that included graduating as an engineer from the U. S. Naval Academy with classmate and former President Jimmy Carter. Friends also recalled that Day was an award-winning humorist and contributing columnist for the Rappahannock News, an accomplished watercolorist, an A. A. counselor, consultant to small businesses, “renowned inventor,” golfer, and a famous poker player around these parts. Day also was praised for his large family of nine children, all of whom were at the service, along with many of his 16 grandchildren. Son Donal Day acted as moderator for the informal gathering. Guest speakers shared their memories of a noteworthy citizen of the county. The first one, David Dwyer, shared his heartfelt memories of Day as an Alcoholic’s Anonymous counselor who steered IN MEMORY: Grandson Ted Day, son of Vincent Day of Charlottesville, plays several original musical selections on his electronic cello in memory of his grandfather, Walter Day. him in the right direction and “saved my life.” Former ambassador Carl Coon recalled “my buddy Walt” as a sly golf partner who would cheat shamelessly above board but make it look like he was befuddled or confused. Coon and attorney Frank Reynolds also remembered Day for the same “qualities” as a crafty poker player. Expressing many people’s sentiment, Coon stated, “With Walter around, life was never dull. I guess that’s why we all loved the old rascal so much.” Rev. Jennings “Jenks” Hobson III, minister of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, took the occasion to read a framed tribute from Day’s old “Lunch Bunch” pal, Peter Kramer, who was unable to attend the memorial.

After reading the poem, Snead talked about Day’s talent as a watercolor artist. “Like Winston Churchill— he would appreciate this comparison—Walter enjoyed paint "Remembering mg ‘Dad, 1 Valter 'Dag Prior to his downfall with alcohol. Dad was a super, hands on Dad—I mean he bathed us, read to us, told us stories at bedtime, put us to bed. If one of us were sick, he was the parent who sat at our bedside. (He taught us the usual dad things, too: softball, somersaults, handstands, boxing, not my favorite.) He and Mom made dinner together, every night. (I’d like to add that they cleaned up the kitchen afterwards but, I swear, once I could reach the sink, I was doing the dishes.) Consequently, all nine of us grew up with a father, a daddy who shared our care with mommy and liked it. He loved babies (obviously they both did). I recall Dad saying that he was surprised that there were men who thought their day ended at 5 p.m. My brothers are fathers in that same way— they love babies, adore children and each has been and is involved completely with his children. To a man, they embraced the physical and emotional care of their children. Dad deserves credit for that— he modeled that kind of involved fathering and made it the norm in our family- lyHe was this kind of man, too. Margy Day ing watercolors. He painted a picture of a red bam on my land and gave it to me the day before he died,” said the judge. The little watercolor was in his hands as Snead concluded his remarks: “Walter, we appreciate all you have done to make this a better world and we will miss you. Goodbye, dear friend.” Looking for a quote that would honor his more recent' friend, Richard Lykes read from a 1987 interview with Liz Carpenter, press secretary to Lady Bird Johnson, in which she stated that she wanted “open sobbing, not just a few wet eyes at my services . . . (and) good press and glorious obituaries with some irreverent anecdotes about my life. And I want laughter along with tears. I want friend and foe alike to know I had a whale of a time walking about God’s earth.” There were few tears at this memorial but much laughter as everyone agreed that Walter Day had a “whale of a time” as he journeyed through life.

Vaccination is Not the Only Way to Help Prevent the Fjy You can protect yourself from the flu even if you don't get the flu vaccination this year. These simple actions can help stop the spread of germs and help protect you from getting sick: • Avoid close contact. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too. • Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. • Cover your mouth and nose. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. • Clean your hands. Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches iiis or her eyes, nose, or mouth. Other good habits, such as getting plenty of sleep, engaging in physical activity, managing stress, drinking water, and eating good food, will help you stay healthy in the winter and all year. In addition, antiviral medications are available for influenza and can be used to prevent influenza and to treat the flu if they are started in the first 2 days of an illness.

State police report fatal accident on Oct. 22 At 1:15 a.m. on Oct. 22, a single-vehicle crash took the life of 27-year-old Roderick C. Banks of Luray, Va., according to Virginia State Police. The accident occurred on Route 231, two-tenths of a mile north of the intersection with Route 608. Banks lost control of his 2001 Mazda Tribute as he rounded a curve, police said. He ran off the road and struck a tree on the driver’s side door. State police report that speed was definitely a factor in the crash, but alcohol was not. The Washington and Sperryville volunteer rescue squads were at the scene, along with the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department. Banks was flown via AirCare from the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department to Fairfax INOVA Hospital where he died in the early morning hours of Oct. 23.

Planners host regional speakers By Kevin Seabrooke Rappahannock News StafT Writer The Rappahannock County Planning Commission continued its “learning series” Oct. 20 with guest speaker Frank Bossio, Culpeper County Administrator. Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy has invited a series of speakers to provide the Planning Commission with outside perspectives on growth and other issues. “We’ve spent the last year and a half looking inward in putting together our comprehensive plan,” McCarthy said. “Now we’re looking outward. I thought it would be a good idea to bring in speakers who affect the region, to let them talk about issues in their own words.” McCarthy said there would be a total of four speakers. Land conservation expert Bob Dennis will speak at the Nov. 17 Planning Commission meeting. The first speaker, in September, was Mark Van de Water, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission. McCarthy said he’s got a couple of invitations out, but isn’t sure who the final speaker See PLANNERS, Page A12 CCLC’s annual auction will tempt the senses By Amy J.

Bossio said he sees the airport developing as a hub for a 250-mile radius. “For something like $65, you could clear security with us, then fly to Dulles, BWI or Reagan National to continue your journey.” Bleu Rock dwelling In addressing the only item on its agenda, the Planning Commission gave its approval to a second dwelling on the Bleu Rock inn’s property. Owner Jo Mariea told the commission that the 2,600square-foot dwelling at the back of the property near the stables would be for her own use and to pursue her interest in painting. “I want a small house in an area I can call my own,” Mariea said, “where the (Bleu Rock) inn cannot see me and I cannot see the inn.” Farmer From Page A1 sucklings in the 35-50 pound range dressed out, as well as most standard cuts from larger pigs.

Halloween Parents, with Halloween just around the comer, make sure you have a good supply of treats for the little goblins when they come knocking on your door. As your child follows the great American tradition of trick-or-treating in area neighborhoods, make sure he or she wears light-colored clothing or reflective tape so they can be seen easily, carry a flashlight in case it gets dark, and most of all, make sure your child is accompanied by an adult. We would not want the little goblins to have an accident and end up in the emergency room. Halloween should be a fun time that your child remembers for years to come. The Washington Baptist Church will host a Halloween costume party on Friday, Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. for grades one through six. There will be refreshments, games and even candy apple making. Rev.

Photo by Richard Lykes Bv Kevin Seabkookk Rappahannock News Staff Wnter Ron Maxwell, director of the films “Gettysburg” and “Gods and Generals," appeared at The Theater in Washington last Friday at a fundraiser for the renovation of the Rappahannock courthouse grounds in the town of Washington. Maxwell's presentation on “The Civil War in Film" included a 30minute collection of scenes from “Gods and Generals." as well as about an hour of lecture and questions from the capacity audience of 230. Maxwell’s main message for the evening was that “getting the history right” was more important than perpetuating myths or satisfying Hollywood’s box office requirements. When asked if making his films had transformed him the way actors sometimes talk of being transformed by the roles they play. Maxwell said it took him 15 years to get “Gettysburg” made and another 10 to get “Gods and Generals” made. He said that nobody wanted to fund them or thought there was an audience for them. “What it comes down to is, how badly do you want to tell this story and how truthfully?” Maxwell said “You really have to be ready to enter your core. Are you willing to go broke? Are you willing to have critics flay you alive?” Maxwell said that Confederate General Robert E. Lee was a “towering figure” and that he was attempting to bring him and other characters See FILM, Page B2 Ki Theatre kicks off new season with riveting play—‘Children of War’ By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News In her debut as a playwright, Rappahannock resident Joyce Abell has taken the stories of four amazing women who grew up as children in Europe during World War II and turned their reminiscences into an original play. Called “Children of War,” this riveting new play launches Ki Theatre’s new season on Saturday, Nov. 6. The 8 p.m. performance is part of the “No Ordinary Person” series which has become a signature production of the theatre over the last few years, thanks to the creative influence of theatre co-director Julie Portman and Abell. Abell has written a fascinating performance based on the stories of four European women whose lives were transformed as children by their experiences of growing up during the war. In addition, there are two stories told by men themselves, including one who grew up as a child in Hungary and another who was an American child on a military base in Pennsylvania—the son of an inventor of a “smart bomb” of that era. The dialog of the play brings to life the creative ways children learn to cope with the realities and upheavals of war. As Abell weaves together these several stories into her original play, it almost seems like a documentary. We learn “in their words” of the courage and tenacity of youngsters who are determined to overcome adversity and live to see a brighter day. The one common thread of the story is their shared experiences as children in war: Benita ran away from war in Latvia, escaped to Germany, and finally was resettled in an American refugee camp for four years before being allowed to come to the United States. Lilo, because she was part Jewish and required to wear a yellow Star of David, managed to live in Berlin throughout the war, protected by her loving mother and her Christian friends until she was sent away to a forced labor camp. Caroline, also German, was deserted by her family and nearly starved to death as she tried, as a 12-year-old, to take care of herself and her siblings. The dialog of the play brings to life the creative ways children learn to cope with the realities and upheavals of war. And Renata, a young Prussian girl of 17 at the time, escaped all alone with a pistol and managed to flee from the invading Russians on her beloved horse on a long journey, in the middle of a bitter winter, to reach her uncle’s home in another part of Germany. All four women finally came to the United States and settled in Rappahannock County. True stories Like Anne Frank’s diary, this extraordinary play is based on true Photo by Richard Lykes ‘CHILDREN OF WAR:’ The moving stories of children who grew up in wartorn Europe during World War II are portrayed by four area actresses in Ki Theatre’s new production of “No Ordinary Person" on Nov. 6. From left are Cydrie Manette (Lilo), Stephanie Mastrie (Renata), Joyce Abell (playwright), Sallie Morgan (Caroline), and Patty Hardee (Benita). stories and real people. In fact, the four women whose stories are portrayed by actresses in this play will be in the audience. Although some of their revelations are heart-rend ing, others inspire with a message of love and courage to overcome appalling adversity and continue See PLAY, Page B2 Castle Trio comes to The Theatre in Washington By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News The Castle Trio will bring music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to the Theatre at Washington on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. The concert is part of the twelfth season in the Smithsonian at Little Washington series held at the Theatre. The Castle Trio is trio-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. Its members have been performing together since 1983 on the museum’s exceptional collection of period instruments. (A fortepiano will be brought in to the Theatre for the upcoming concert in Little Washington.) The Trio continues to garner praise both here and abroad for its many recordings as well as its live performances—as the BBC Record Review commented, “this is a trio of real virtuoso players who savor the sonority of the old instruments and who play beautifully together.” The Trio comprises Grammy award winning pianist Lambert Orkis, whh is principal keyboardist ' with the National Symphony Orchestra; violinist Marilyn McDonald, who teaches and performs extensively on both the modern and the baroque violin; and Kenneth Slowik, cellist, who heads the Smithsonian’s Chamber Music program, and whose musical interests have expanded in recent years to include conducting. At first spanning about a century and a quarter—from the time of Haydn and Mozart to the age of Brahms and Tchaikovsky—the Trio’s repertoire has now extended to quite modern composers. But it is for performances of the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven that the Castle Trio remains best known. And it is music of these three composers which forms the program for the concert at the Theatre on November 6: the Trio in E-flat Major, Hob. XV:29 by Haydn, the Trio in C Major, K548 by Mozart, and the Trio in E-flat Major, Op. 1, No. 1 by Beethoven. Tickets for the concert are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

The tales of deprivation and isolation of young children too young to understand the upheavals of war is almost unbearable at times, but one still rejoices in the triumph of their mature insight and survival instincts. “What is the life of a 10year old child caught up in war?” asks the playwright. “No schools, few friends, often separated from the parents and other siblings, no sweets, no toys, often no milk and rarely enough food. There are air raid sirens, bombs falling nearby, mass deportations of friends and families. And yet . . . these children do survive to tell their stories and inspire us with their courage,” Abell concludes. After taking Portman’s “Life Stories Workshops,” Abell directed her first “No Ordinary Person” eight years ago with other gradu ates of the course, weaving stories from their lives into interesting and touching vignettes. Tickets to the “Children of War” play are $12 per person. To make a reservation or to obtain more information, contact the theatre office (540) 987-3164 or log onto its web site wAvw.kitheatre.org. Film From Page B1 from the Civil War “to life for future generations.” “If you think it’s easy, then you don’t deserve to try to tell his story,” Maxwell said of Lee. “This was a very personal journey in a very tough business.” George Washington film Maxwell said he will be shooting a short film about George Washington in the area in late January. The 15minute film will be shown at Mount Vernon’s new visitor center set to open near the end of 2006. Maxwell said the preserved land in and around Rappahannock still looked much like it did in Washington’s day and that Virginia’s Yorktown would stand in for New Jersey’s Trenton in the film. “Come on by if you want to put on a uniform and carry a musket,” Maxwell said. Rappahannock resident Jim Gannon, author of “Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers: The 6th Louisiana Volunteers, 1861-1865,” acted as emcee for the evening. 66 What it comes down to is, how badly do you want to tell this story and how truthfully? You really have to be ready to enter your core. Are you willing to go broke? Are you willing to have critics flay you alive? Ron Maxwell, film director “You are contributing to a really good project, with tonight’s proceeds going to the courthouse grounds redesign,” Gannon told the audience which paid $20 a ticket. “This will generate several thousand dollars that will go to the fund.” Dave Goetz of Mosby’s Confederacy Tours donated a half-day tour for four, valued at $250, as a prize for a drawing at the event. Gannon announced that the drawing for the tour had hit a snag, as he had planned to use the numbers on the tickets for the eventj) which were collected at the doorj) -as the numbers to be drawn for the prize. “In the spirit of improvisation, maybe we should have a little impromptu action,” Gannon quipped. “I’d like to know if anyone is interested in a half-day tour of Mosby sites.” A bid of $25 was immediately shouted from the floor, followed by bids of $50, $75 and $100. “This is like a real auction,” Gannon said. When a bid for $125 came from the balcony, Gannon joked, “I’m glad I screwed this thing up. That will pay for polishing one side of the monument.” As the price rose above $150, someone near the front got a big laugh by asking, “Do you take Confederate money?” A competition developed between patrons seated on the floor and those in the balcony. In the end, the floor’s bid of $350 was topped by Delma Bagley of Sperryville, who was in the balcony, with an offer of $400. “I do have a special inter est in the Civil War and especially in Mosby, the Gray Ghost,” Bagley said afterwards. The evening’s program was sponsored by the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table, the Rappahannock Historical Society, and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. At a festive reception at the Ki Theatre before the event, wine and refreshments were served, performers played Civil War music and three authors signed Civil War books. Maxwell signed, “Gods and Generals: The Illustrated Stoiy of the Epic Civil War Film.” Author Gannon signed his book and another Rappahannock resident, James D. Russell, signed, “Beyond The Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County.” Chorus From Page B1 are cutting-edge in the world of voice,” said Fournier. The Kid Pan Alley 2000 children’s songwriting project, led by Ki Theatre’s Paul Reisler, resulted in a remark able album, “Tidal Wave of Song,” featuring songs Reisler wrote with over 600 Rappahannock children and recorded with a stellar group of local musicians. Other communities around the country have now launched similar projects. Proceeds from “Tidal Wave” CD sales are used to support music education in the county. During the spring 2004 semester, a $300 Kid Pan Alley grant allowed the RCHS Music Department to invite Abasi Johnson to RCHS to present three master classes in the history and practice of the art of African Drumming. Johnson, founder of the nonprofit organization More Than a Drum, explained and demonstrated more than 20 instruments, some of which he personally gathered on trips to various countries in Africa. He taught the members of the music history independent study class to drum on a djembe, a shekere, and a djundjun, as well as to play agogo bells. Brookside Restaurant & Gift Shop U.S. 211 E.

Maybe I will get to it next week.” Next week...next month...next year. Most of us can recognize ourselves in this scenario. What is the answer to this common problem? Perhaps we could reassess our priorities. First things first. What about our spiritual planning? Perhaps we even acknowledge our need for weekly worship, but we feel weary or just “too busy”. Yet, might better spiritual planning positively affect our entire week? ^ God has a plan. In Matthew 6:33, He ^ makes this promise... “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.” This week, won't you plan to worship your Heavenly Father? Visit God in His House. He will take care of the rest. «KMY MOMMY TUBDAY WIDNBMY THOMMY FUMY SATURDAY MaM MM MS MM Mi MM 147 MM MS MM MS MM US Scriptures Stated by The Amencen B&e Society Cowngfl 2004 KeiSw-Vkdkams Newspaper $«rvK*s P 0 Bck 8187 ChartoH«svtll«.
