It is located at 383 Porter Street across from the Washington Baptist Church. By Briar S. Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer All seven prisoners in a cellblock at the Rappahannock County jail were transferred to more secure facilities 13 days ago after law enforcement officials learned that “contraband” had been sneaked into the jail and some inmates were considered “escape risks.” At 9 o’clock on the evening of Oct. 29, Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz made a decision to remove all seven inmates from cellblock B and transfer them to other facilities after he learned there were security concerns. “We felt a couple of the prisoners were escape risks and See JAIL, Page A9 66 We felt a couple of the prisoners were escape risks and I felt it was necessary to remove these individuals for the safety of the deputies at the jail. Sheriff Larry Sherertz Protect farmland New program receives $5,000 donation By Kevin Seabrooke Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County has announced a new Farmland Preservation Program, introducing another method by which land in the county may be protected from development. Like the conservation easement, this program is one more option in the effort to preserve Rappahannock’s natural beauty and agricultural character, but it’s not a complete solution. “It’s one more tool, not a panacea,” Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said in a recent interview. “This program may be useful for someone without a lot of money who still wants to help preserve land.” Under the program, development rights for farmland would be purchased by the county. The price would be negotiated between the landowner and a committee set up by the county and based on a points system that takes into consideration such factors as “threat of conversion to development use” as well as “natural, cultural, and scenic resources.” $5,000 RCCA donation Meanwhile, McCarthy was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance Sunday. He spoke about “Threats to Conservation” to an audience of 82 persons at the Washington See FARMLAND, Page A10 Gift to save farmland Photo by Richard Lykes Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy receives a $5,000 check Sunday from Sharon Pierce, president of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance for the county’s “Farmland Preservation Program,” a new program which will help preserve farmland by purchasing development rights from farmers. SAVING A CHURCH: Supporters trying to revitalize the Piedmont Baptist Church in Sperryville gather for a recent meeting outside the 1840s church which has been without its congregation for 20 years and sits in disrepair. Old church stirs new controversy By Briar S. Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer It has been said that no good deed goes unpunished, which is what several Rappahannock residents who are trying to save the Piedmont Baptist Church in Sperryville are finding out. “We need to do something to save this church,” was the thought running through Nancy Weakley Presgraves’ mind last July when she called upon her friends and neighbors to help revitalize Piedmont Baptist Church. The 1840s church has been without its congregation for nearly 20 years. Sitting empty and in disrepair along Rolling Road in Jenkins Hollow, it was a sight that stirred the emotions of many. “This church has a special place in our hearts,” said Presgraves, who remembers walking to the, church with her five brothers when she was young. Although she now lives in Luray and is no longer a member, Presgrpves said she still wants to save the old church. “My father’s funeral was the last one held at the church back in 1982,” she sighed. “Now, my mother is in ill health and dreams of her services being held there one day as well.

It seemed to for Laurie Smith when she went looking for some treats for her dogs. Smith, who lives in Amissville, has three dogs herself, so she knows what it’s like to try to find something special for her canine companions. “I started out making them for my dogs,” Smith explained. “I eat well. I want them to eat well, and commercial dog treats are kind of sorry. Well, my treats turned into a big hit. All my friend’s dogs liked them.” All organic Smith said that her dog treats are made from organic materials. And the recipes are ... different from what you might expect. “I found a bunch of recipes on-line, tried them out and settled on four flavors: peanut butter Parmesan, apple oatmeal, bite-free bites and safari bites,” Smith recounted. “All of the treats are made with human-grade ingredients, (for example) free-range chicken broth, wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, all natural peanut butter. Brewer’s yeast is a good flea deterrent. v “The treats contain no filler, no by-products,” she continued. “The dogs really like them. I have people who call me at home and tell me to bring them some treats, and when people buy these from me, they’re supporting [a] small, local business, which I think is important.” Smith said she has started small. “I make them in small batches, about two pounds at a time. I sell them at fall festivals, like the ECOW (Epicurious Cow, in Ben Venue) annual Apple Festival, on my Web site, and I’m trying to get them into stores in the area.” Smith bakes her creations at ECOW, the natural food marketplace located on U.S. 211 west of Warrenton. “They’ve been very nice to me to allow me to make my treats here,” she stated. Some dogs can’t seem to get enough of the goodies that Smith turns out. “My own dogs have kind of turned into Pavlov’s dogs when I’m baking them,” she said. “They just stand around and drool.” Trying them out “I tried a bunch of different recipes for two months, took them to friends, gave them away, and I got responses like, ‘My dog throws up everything, but he really likes your treats,’ “ Smith declared. Smith gave a demonstration of her craft a couple of weeks ago at ECOW. She used a tiny scoop — the size used for melon balls — to pick up the peanut butter Parmesan treats and place them onto the baking sheet. Lining them up all in a row quickly, she popped them into the commercial oven and watched them flatten into smallish round cookie-like treats. Then she used a different mixture and pressed the dough into a mold that produced treats shaped like small elephants. “I like to make them look interesting, Smith said. “I actually made real cookies the other day and it was kinda weird.” People interested in obtaining dog treats from Bite-Me can call (540) 522-7098 or go to the Web site, www.bitemedogtreats .com.

When Smith gave them to friends’ dogs, they lapped them up. Chicago blues come to Amissville Fire Hall Nov. 20 By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News The fame of the band is spreading: the six seasoned musicians of Deja Blue will appear at the Amissville Fire Hall on Route 211 on Saturday, Nov. 20. Public Notice Rappahannock County Farmland Preservation Program Invitation for Applications “A Tool for preserving and enhancing the agricultural industry.” Agriculture is the leading industry in Rappahannock County. A critical mass of farmland is necessary for the continued vitality of the economic engine of production agriculture. Farmland owners interested in preserving their farm and natural character of their property may be eligible to have development rights purchased by the County. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors formally established the Farmland Preservation (FP) Program, a voluntary program that pays landowners to protect the farmland and natural resource assets of their property. The FP Program allows landowners to enter into agreements to sell the development potential of qualifying property to the County while maintaining the right to continue to own and use the property. The purpose of the FP Program will be to protect farmland and retain the agricultural industry’s critical mass; in particular, farm parcels that are economically viable operations. Eligibility Criteria; Applications for the Farmland Preservation Program will be evaluated on a point system, wherein points are awarded on the basis of such attributes as: 1. Natural, cultural and scenic resources; , 2. Threat of conversion to developed use; 3. Open space resources; and/or 4. Opportunity of County funds leveraging other funds Price paid will be negotiated between the County and the property owner and will be determined per development right unit based on gross by-right allotment per County Zonin'g & Subdivision regulations. For an application, please contact the Rappahannock County Administration Office at 290 Gay Street, Washington, Virginia 22747, (540) 675-5330.

Headwaters presents the history, culture of Catalonia By Paige S. Coombs Special to the Rappahanhock News Headwaters will present a fascinating program, “The History and Culture of Catalonia,” by retired diplomat and renowned Folk Art collector Pete Cecere on Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. Cecere traveled extensively during his career in the foreign service. His four-year tour at the American Consulate in Barcelona, Spain was his favorite posting. His lecture will feature the magnificent city of Barcelona and include several other provincial cities in Spain. Cecere’s presentation will be illustrated by slides from an incredible collection of photographs he took during his assignment in Barcelona. While there, he delved deeply in Catalan culture and history as he traveled throughout the four provinces that made up his Consular district. Catalonia is an area of historic importance throughout Spanish history. Roman ruins are everywhere. Pablo Picasso lived in Barcelona for many years and a museum of his earlier works is located there. The city is one of Europe’s centers for Art Noveau architecture, including many buildings of Gaudi. Also, Barcelona’s entrepreneurial class made it one of the centers of business and industry throughout Spain’s history. Brooklyn bom, Cecere is a graduate of both Fordham University and Cornell Law School. Besides Spain, his career in the foreign service took him to many other countries including Bolivia, Uruguay, Mexico, and Ecuador. Throughout his travels, he has added to his extraordinary Folk Art collection which is his life-long passion. This past March, Cecere was named one of the United States’ top 100 Folk Art Collectors by the magazine “Art and Antiques.” The Headwaters' program is the second in this year’s series of Global Spotlights presentations, with a third event, featuring Haiti, scheduled for March. , Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Edu- • cation Foundation, is working with the Rappahannock County Public Schools to continue to bring international knowledge and expertise to county students and residents through this program which began in 2002. Plan to arrive at the Rappahannock County High School band room at 7 p.m. for refreshments. Cecere’s lecture will start at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Contact the Headwaters office at 675-1819 for more information about this and other Global Spotlights programs. Loudoun has first convictions under new anti-spam law By Emily Tjelmeland Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Loudoun County Courthouse was the sight of the first convictions under Virginia’s new anti-spam law. Will more cases follow? That’s a fine question, according to law enforcement officials. And the answer is a definite “ah, maybe.” “Given that AOL is headquartered there, it’s likely you’ll see more of these cases end up in Loudoun’s circuit court,” said Tim Murtaugh, spokesman for Attorney General Jerry Kilgore (R). “It’s the epicenter for Internet traffic.” But don’t expect great numbers. Another Kilgore spokesman, Tucker Martin, said prosecutors won’t be pursuing a large number of spammers because the resources and time involved far exceed that of other felony investigations. “These are lengthy investigations requiring a lot of legwork before coming to the courts,” Martin said. ' Circuit Court Clerk Gary Clemens said Loudoun’s circuit court is ill-equipped to deal with additional spam cpses, saying more resources would be needed if he felt the new caseload was significant. „ “We do know that with the growth in the clerk’s office - not even considering the spam cases - that there is a tremendous amount of work- already for my staff,” he said. “The addition of spam cases will only add to the challenges and growth issues we already face.” Even before all of that, there’s a matter that must be settled: Were the first convictions legal? The question surfaced after two North Carolina residents were convicted Nov. 3 of inundating America Online Inc. users with unrequested e-mails - commonly called “spam.” But no sooner had Jeremy Jaynes and Jessica Degroot been pronounced guilty than Circuit Judge Thomas Home agreed to reconsider a defense motion to drop charges against them. After handing down convictions, the jury recommended that Jaynes serve nine years in prison and Degroot, his sister, pay $7,500. A third defendant, Richard Rutowski, was acquitted. David Obion, attorney for Jaynes - noted by the Register of Known Spam Operators as the world’s eighth most prolific spammer - said Judge Home has already set a hearing date for Jan. 21, 2005, to consider a motion to challenge whether Virginia had jurisdiction. At that hearing, the judge could decide to dismiss the juiys verdict if the motion is granted. “I still think ultimately we will win the case,” Obion said. “I think in the end there won’t be a conviction. Frequently, robbers don’t even get nine years.” The judge first heard Obion’s motion to strike all charges against Jaynes on day five of the trial. His challenge was that Virginia did not have jurisdiction because the e-mails were sent from North Carolina. The e-mails, Obion said, only passed through Virginia and were not subject to its law. Prosecutor Russell Maguire argued that under Virginia’s law, enacted in 2003, any spam sent through Virginia’s networks is fair game. Spokesman Murtaugh said January’s court date won’t affect their successful convictions. As a case of firsts, however, the court was willing to hear Obion out, he said. “We flatly reject [Obion’s motion]. The law is plain and clear,” said Murtaugh. Virginia law says spam sent through Virginia’s Internet, “or into the computer network,” is a crime. The punishment is up to 15 years in jail and fines up to $7,500. AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham called Virginia’s law - which was crafted with the help of AOL - “one of the top online consumer laws in the country.” “We believe this (law) will turn the tide against spammers,” he said. Several states, including Maryland, followed up Virginia’s law with their own statutes. Under the Maryland statute, the language defining the scope of the spam law is slightly different than Virginia’s to cover a transmission “from a computer in the state or is sent to an electronic mail address ... held by a resident of the state.” According to indictments, the spam was sent between July j 11 and Aug. 9, 2003, on three separate occasions. The indictment alleged Jaynes falsified routing information, making it impossible for e-mail recipients to view the correct sender of the e-mail. Jaynes, who was known at the time of his arrest in December 2003 as “Gaven Stubberfield,” ran a “snake oil business” online from his Raleigh, N.C., home, prosecutors said. They said he used his sister and Rutowski to funnel the money. “It’s great news. These are the first convictions of their kind anywhere in the world,” Murtaugh said. “This sends a message that we’re not joking.” Jaynes and Degroot will be sentenced if Judge Home upholds their convictions.

Audit Bureau of Circulations _ www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2004 Our View Help our veterans Deadline to mail packages overseas is quickly approaching This year’s Veterans’ Day is the first in many years that the United States has been at war. Our full-time military is mobilized. National Guard troops are being sent to the Middle East, where they, too, are becoming veterans in the war against terrorism. This year, for Veterans’ Day, as well as for the upcoming holidays, each of us should do our part,to remember our troops and their families. According to Michelle Nelson, of the Family Readiness Group, there are a few things we can do for the troops and their families during the holidays. Anything sent to the soldiers for Christmas needs to be sent by Nov. 12 for parcel post or Nov. 27 for priority mail. Here are her suggestions: • Send hot beverage mixes (instant coffee, hot cocoa, etc), hand warmers or any snacks. • For the families - especially the parent left at home - give a day For the troops All packages sent to our soldiers overseas must have the name of a specific soldier. To send an item to an unspecified soldier in the unit, address the card or package to Mark Nelson, commander of the unit, and he will disperse the items to the men, according to Michelle Nelson. Send packages to: Mark Nelson (for any soldier) HHC 3/116th INF APO AE 09354-9998 of free babysitting. A church or scout troop could volunteer to do an afternoon of babysitting so the parent can get away to do holiday shopping, or just have some free time. • Send letters to soldiers. The holidays are a great time to tell our men and women overseas how much we appreciate their contribution. • The troops in Afghanistan need an electric keyboard donated for the chaplain for church services. Nelson can be reached at 703-781-9079 for questions or for those who want to volunteer. We should think about what we can do. And do it. phew..

OK, I added the punctuation, but I wonder if I’m the only reader who, on seeing this headline in last week’s paper (Rappahannock News Nov. 4) got a mental image of his or her mother standing there in frustration, wondering where she went wrong because her naughty son or daughter has, again, disregarded her admonitions about hanging around with the wrong crowd. Guess what mom, I mean Editor, I neither need nor want your advice on who would make the better president. In fact, I really don’t care who you are going to vote for or why. Your specialty is reporting on the news of Rappahannock County and its surrounding area. Leave the opinions on national matters to the big boys (I can ignore them just as easily). As for the editorial page cartoon of the banged-up map of the USA, that is an image that only resonates with the losers. Those of us in the majority look with pride on an America that has once again accomplished what she does so well, freely chosen those who will lead us into the near future. John Feeney Sperryville Thanks to everyone who worked the polling places’ A special thanks to everyone who worked the polling places for the election on Nov. 2 at Amissville, Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Scrabble and Sperryville. Thank you to all the dedicated and hard working people who made it possible to have a trouble-free election, which enabled Rappahannock to be the first to report election data to the State Board of Elections. Also, thanks to all who signed to be alternates for the election. Raymond L. Brown, Sr. Secretary, Rappahannock County Board of Elections Thanks to Maggie Rogers and Central Coffee Roasters Not everybody is happy with the final outcome of the election. Despite that, it was a rewarding but long and sometimes frustrating day for election officials as we helped Rappahannock citizens cast their votes in the 228th year of this nation. For better or for worse, the United States of America will survive the next ,four years, and prosper over the years to come. Many people did their best to make the day easier for election officials. I would especially like to thank Maggie Rogers and Central Coffee Roasters for surprising and delighting us with several carafes of their delicious and delectable coffee. Not only did Maggie bring us coffee, she also supplied sweet rolls for ducking! plus cups, sugar, and fresh cream. Thank you Maggie and Central Coffee Roasters! Bruce Sloane Sperryville ‘The horsemen (were) marching silently’ George W. Bush won reelection Nov. 2 by running on his beliefs and standing firmly behind his religion and values. His opponent, however, ran his campaign on the pulse of the most current polls and playing each side of the issues. Sen. John Kerry’s assertion he was a devout Roman Catholic while also stating he was pro-choice and for “same-sex marriage” was, in my belief his ultimate downfall. In the second debate in answering the question on whether he would use federal funds for abortions, he made the statement, (and this is a direct quote taken from the debate’s transcript) “I will not let my political party line or my religious beliefs interfere with a person’s rights. I will protect a woman’s choice and I will protect her against that unwanted child.” Is there such a thing as “an unwanted child?” What a resounding effect that statement had. Over five million Evangelical Christians and over 50 percent of Catholics voted for President Bush. Apparently those voters did not let their political party line interfere with their religious beliefs. I voted at the Amissville Fire Hall and I witnessed two examples of what I think this year’s presidential campaign exemplified. As I approached the entrance of the polling place a Kerry supporter offered me a “sample ballot.” Amusingly enough, the “sample ballot” was already filled out to favor Kerry. Then, on the front lawn of the firehouse, two people on horseback with “Bush/Cheney” banners draped across the horses'were riding slowly back and forth. How fittihg: the one side trying in a shameless last ditch effort to get votes; the other side were the horsemen, like all of the president’s supporters, marching silently with great force to let their vote be heard. Mark Raiford Amissville ‘Intersection near Corner Store in Sperryville needs an all-way stop sign’ Linda Thomas of Sperryville earns my great admiration for her comments before the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors as reported in the Nov. 4 Rappahannock News.. Why? Because she has spoken out about one of the most obvious but overlooked hazards in the county. The intersection near the Comer Store in old-town Sperryville needs to be an allway stop. Most everybody knows it; they just haven’t gotten around to saying any thing. Lots of people have had close calls there because they forgflt just one time that oncoming cars weren’t required to stop—and I’m talking about people who live here. If people who live here occasionally forget how this intersection works, think about relatives who come to visit once a year for the holidays— or a traveler bound elsewhere who is passing through late at night. When these types of drivers pull out into this almost-blind inter section, what would make them even consider that there wouldn’t be a stop sign for the oncoming cars? Are they supposed to decipher this based on an inscription that says “Two Way?” . That inscription, well-intentioned though it is, is far too small and far too cryptic to make sense to the out-oftown-driver. (It makes so little sense that my own family, when giving directions to outof-towners, has always included the following warning as a matter of course. “Take care when making the turn in Sperryville. The oncoming cars don’t have to stop!”) The other issue is what it means for a major road like Route 522 to terminate in a straight line in old-town Sperryville without a stop sign. I am concerned that eventually a trucker unfamiliar with the area and not paying enough attention to the diminishing speed limits is going to barrel into old-town Sperryville at a high rate of speed and cause some damage to pedestrians. The same stop sign that would fix thfe intersection near the Corner Store would also provide visual warning of the change from highway to small town and thus reduce to some extent this danger. Personally, I feel remiss as a citizen that I never got around to writing to the supervisors, writing to the traffic engineer, writing to the editor myself on this subject. It is just one of those obvious hazards that I thought, in time, would be addressed. But too much time has gone by, and I am so glad that someone else has brought it to the public discussion. Now it is time to act. And, as Ms. Thomas says, action should happen now—not in six years. Six days, as she proposes, is a lot closer to the correct timetable. If that’s not workable, then let’s make it six weeks at the absolute longest.

nvi - — -- • ‘ muraudy, Muvemuei i i, ^vkjh . . j - - - - - - t — New, deeper meaning to father’s role in war Bv John Toler Rappahannock News Staff Staff Writer Veterans' Day came into being after World War I, in acknowledgment of the end of that conflict, which happened at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month —Nov. 11, 1918. Like communities across America, Rappahannock sent its share of men to fight “The War to End All Wars” By the time America entered the war in April 1917, fierce fighting in western Europe awaited the U. S. troops who were sent there. Many men from Rappahannock and neighboring counties enlisted or were drafted individually. Among them was Pvt. Claybom Preston Rankin (18981967), father of Warrenton businessman and Korean War veteran Jim Rankin. Only 19 when he enlisted in Company C, 2nd Virginia Infantry, Clay Rankin was to see heavy combat in France during World War I. Called to serve Company C was called into federal service in June 1916, and combined with Company D, of Front Royal. They then became part of the 116th Infantry, Virginia National Guard. Soon afterward, the former militiamen were ordered to Brownsville, Tfexas, where they served guard duty on the U.SVMexican border for eight months. Mustered-out in February 1917, the men of Company C were recalled a month later. After a brief stint guarding stateside rail lines, they were sent to Camp McClellan, Alabama, where they became part of the U. S. 29th Infantry' Division and underwent combat training. They shipped-out for France— and the front lines — in June 1918. The presence of fresh American troops in the trenches on the Western Front began tipping the scale in favor of the allies. Gen. John Pershing, commander of U.S. military forces in Europe, had wisely resisted French requests to use American troops as replacements for fallen French soldiers at the front. Instead, he kept the U.S. units together, including the ones from Virginia. Vicious battle After pushing the Germans out of Saint-Mihiel at the end of September, Pvt. Rankin and the other members of the 116th found themselves mired in vicious hit-and-run engagements in the gloomy Ardennes Forest. On Oct. 11, with his unit facing heavy German machine gun fire, Pvt. Rankin charged the enemy and broke through. The enemy was routed and fell back. Pvt. Rankin was cited by his Division Commander: “For gallantry in action. Displayed remarkable courage and devotion to du,ty 11th October 1918, in the front line through heavy machine gun fire when it was considered impossible for anyone to get through.” A second citation was also issued “for gallantry in action north of Samogneux, France, 11 October • 1918, in carrying important messages under enemy fire.” The second citation, which carried with it the recommendation for the Distinguished Service Cross, made it through channels and Pfc. Rankin received the medal by the time he was discharged at Camp Lee, Va., on May 29, 1919. However, paperwork for the first citation -— which could have qualified him for consideration for the Medal of Honor, was lost for many years. Life back home After getting back to the States, Rankin worked for a brief period on the railroad in West Virginia. He then returned to the Midland area and resumed farming. He married Naomi Smith in 1920; the union bore seven children. Life went on, and although the children knew of their father’s service, it wasn’t discussed much at home. “Sure, Dad talked about the At a Glance Recently, Jim Rankin found a unique piece of family — and county — history rolled up in an old storage box that once belonged to his parents. war, but we were just children, and didn’t really listen,” recalled Jim Rankin. “We didn’t really understand what it was all about until we had served (in the military) ourselves.” During World War II, Clay Rankin was active in the Fauquier County “plane spotting” group, and belonged to one of the local militia units, according to Jim. And his interest in all things military continued. We were living at Opal, and convoys of troops moved through all the time,” recalled Jim Rankin. “If they stopped nearby for chow, my Dad would always go over and talk with them.” Clay Rankin continued farming in Fauquier County, but he also helped the war effort by working at the old Tbrpedo Factory in Alexandria. Award is presented Then one day in 1950, Clay Rankin was contacted by the Department of the Army.

Neighbors SperryviUe residents urge officials to install stop sign v\i Several Main Street busi^ jaess owners and residents have • expressed concern over the lack ! Of a stop sign on Route 522 com; wig into Sperryville at the - Comer Store, Many of us have witnessed ; dose calls at this extremely dan• gerous intersection. It is espe• dally bad on weekends when ; Sperryville is filled with tourists who are unfamiliar with the roads. Often after stopping at the stop sign facing the Comer Store, drivers then pull out in traffic, seemingly not realizing that cars traveling from their left that are heading straight toward the post office do not also have a stop sign. The problem is compounded by the fact that many of the drivers who are agoing straight on 522 are also speeding. Concerned individuals brought this up during the dis Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@igl ide.net cussion of the Six-Year Road Plan public hearing at the Nov. 1 Board of Supervisors n.eeting. One Sperryville resident, Linda Thomas, noted the urgency of addressing this problem, beginning her remarks by saying, “A three-way stop sign at the Comer Store in Sperryville 522 and 1001 (Main Street) should be in a six day plan, not the six year plan.” Thomas went on to say, “The majority of people going to Old Rag pass through this intersection, coming from D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland.

With the popularity and success of the Thornton River Grill also impacting this intersection, and pedestrians crossing the pedestrian bridge to stroll historic Main Street, the situation has become increasingly perilous.” One neighbor witnessed three near accidents at this location on Sunday, Oct. 31. This is not atypical. Last weekend, I spoke with Tom Sullivan, whose shop “TbnVs Mountain Garden,” has a clear view of the intersection. He also has seen plenty of near misses and mentioned that there was an accident at the location last summer. “Anybody is welcome on any weekend to sit on the patio in front of my shop and watch this intersection,” said Sullivan. He also asked the important question, “Do we want to make sure tourists arrive and get home safely from Sperryville?” Although not everyone agrees on the solution to this problem, with some believing there should be a three-way stop, while others believe one stop sign should be removedleaving only one stop sign for the folks directly facing the Comer Store, it is clear that the majority of business owners and residents agree this situation needs addressing. Thomas made a convincing case for a three-way stop by listing added benefits for such a remedy. “Stopping the traffic between the 35 mph zone and the 25 mph zone on Main Street will encourage greater adherence to 25 mph. Stopping the traffic three ways may reduce traffic through Main Street because those traveling 522 may indeed find it faster to turn right than to proceed straight. Trucks traveling north and south on 522 may find it’s easier to negotiate the intersection with the stoppage of competing traffic. They frequently encroach on both other travel lanes in order to negotiate the turn.” Speeding on Main Street Thomas also raised the issue of excessive speeding on Main Street, another sentiment that is shared by the majority. “People, pets, children and elderly live on Main Street. Our animals have been hit, sometimes killed. A dog was hit most recently on Saturday, Oct. 30.” She stated that she agrees with Bryant Lee’s suggestion for Washington to install rumble strips to alert drivers to slow down as they enter the village. Many business owners and residents have informally discussed this issue and most seem to agree that Sperryville would benefit from rumble strips too. Crosswalks, signage? Finally, Thomas asked a question that has been coming up at meetings of the Sperryville Business Alliance for over one year: “What happened to our crosswalks and signage for Main Street?” This is a question that many business owners, including myself, have asked but never seem to get answered. I was told last year at this time that the signage would be complete by November 2003. Here we are, an entire year later, and still nothing has happened. At the conclusion of the supervisors’ meeting, Garrett Moore of VDOT told Thomas that he will come by on a weekend to check out the need for a stop sign. When Thomas told him that people have said they would be willing to chip in to pay for the stop sign, Moore told her that wouldn’t be necessary since a stop sign would only cost about $250. Folks on Main Street agree it would be absolutely shameful for someone to get seriously injured or killed at this intersection when the situation could be prevented for only $250. Thomas’ closing remarks sum up the situation perfectly when she said, “With the investment many have made in property, improvements, and new businesses on Main Street, with the lovely new Sperryville brochure, and the overall sense of Spenyville revival, the threeway stop sign at the intersection of 522 and Main Street is long overdue. God created the world in six days, Israel won a war in six days, can we possibly get a stop sign in that same span of time?” Community mourns loss of Gregory H.

Sports Rapp volleyball takes districts By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The first round of the Bull Run District tournament began at Rappahannock County High School Thursday and ended with an upset Saturday at Strasburg High School with the Rappahannock County High School girls’ volleyball team winning the District championship. On Thursday, the Panthers hosted the Madison County Mountaineers with Rappahannock County dominating the first two games 25-22 and 28-26. Although the third game remained close throughout, the Mountaineers were determined not to hand the tourney to the Panthers easily and edged past Rapp for a 25-23 win, taking the contest into the fourth game. While some fans in the stands commented that Madison appeared to be running out of gas, others voiced that it looked like sheer determination on the part of the Panthers. No matter what the motivation, it was the Panthers who advanced to the second round of action in a lop-sided 25-11 victory. Rapp traveled to Strasburg on Saturday evening to face the regular season winning team, the Strasburg Rams on its own home court. The Rams had defeated the Panthers in both outings earlier this season. “They are not better than us,” said sophomore Rebecca Tupper. “It is some thing mental with us, we have to get passed it.” Getting passed its mental block is exactly what this Panther team did. The first game began with Rachel Gall nailing an ace, followed by an Anna Kreyling kill, then answered by a kill at the forceful hand of Samantha Brown. Plays like these forced Rapp to an early lead which it maintained throughout the first game for a 25-11 win. “I told these girls they had nothing to lose,” said Rapp coach Jared Neiters. “We weren’t expected to win and if we lost, we really didn’t have anything to lose since we had a Regional berth no matter what.” Rapp continued to play as though it had nothing to lose, keeping the score within two or three throughout the next two games. In game two, Strasburg edged passed the Panthers for a 25-23 win and then followed suit in game three in a 25-22 win. As the Rams began savoring what looked like certain victory as the District title needed three out of five games won, the Panthers regrouped for the kill. And kill they did. Kreyling dominated at the net with repeated kills, a play that the senior would end with a 25-18 win in the fourth game. As the Rappahannock County girls gathered in a circle around their coaches, the excitement and anticipation mounted for the Rapp fans who Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Sp'eker THE KILL: Rappahannock County High School’s Anna Kreyling goes up for the kill in Bull Run District action and was named Player of the Year. began chanting, “Let’s go Rapp, let’s go!” Mattie Nawrocki hammered an ace to start the game fol lowed by several defensive mistakes on the part of the Rams to See VOLLEYBALL, Page A9 Rappahannock News Photo/Julie Estes TOUCHDOWN RUN: Panther Erick Montague goes for the score against Pendleton County High School of West Virginia Saturday. Panthers post win in final outing By Nat Bradley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Saturday celebrated the end of the beginning, as the Rappahannock County High School football team finished its first ever varsity season with a 32-15 home victory over Pendleton County High School of West Virginia. The Panthers camte out slow, going three and out in its first possession. The Wildcats took the punt and drove down the field and went ahead 7-0. The lead was short-lived as quarterback Ethan Berry went through the middle on a sneak, breaking and spinning his way through the defense for a 40yard touchdown run. The Panthers then scored a surprise two-point conversion with the kicker Paige Payne throwing to Berry, making the score 8-7. The Panthers then pulled some trickery when they recovered an onside kick. As they drove down the field with Dustin White’s 23-yard reverse, Berry then threw a four-yard pass to White in the back of the end zone. Payne then kicked the extra point for a 15-7 lead. Not waiting for any momentum to swing Pendleton went to the air attack as they drove 90 yards for a touchdown, the final play being an eight-yard run for the score. The two-point conversion pass was also good, leaving the game tied 15-15 at the half. Coming out of the half fired up, Rappahannock drove down the field on its first possession, this time letting junior Brandon Lee score from 11 yards out on a reverse. Paige added the PAT for a 22-15 cushion. Once again the Panthers recovered an onside kick. After a personal foul, Paige added to the lead with a 35- yard field goal to make it 25-15. After a fumble recovery, Rappahannock again drove down the field with ease, led by a strong group of offensive linemen. They were stopped at the one-yard line leaving the Wildcats with horrible field position to start the comeback. On the fourth down Berry stepped in front of a pass to give the ball back with under seven minutes to play. Trying to run out the clock the home team kept the ball on the ground, but on third down Rappahannock fumbled giving Pendleton a chance. But Payne scooped it up and dove into the end zone for another touchdown. Payne whose leg was perfect on the day, added another PAT to make the final score 32-5. Rappahannock finished the day with 245 rushing yards led by Erick Montague, Eric Phillips, and Nick Compton. The Panthers were also aided in the win with the help of several Wildcat dropped passes and three turnovers. Berry and Payne each had an interception and the defense forced a fumble while only giving up 193 yards. Eleven seniors who paved the way for the team were all smiles after the game, knowing that what these team members had started together they had now finished together. The inaugural season is now finished for the Panther team, which finished at 3-7. It will now go to the off seasdn having finished its rookie campaign, hungry for a chance to become a pro, and no chance of retiring any time soon. RCHS cheerleading squad places third in district contest By Bonnie Pullin Special to the Rappahannock News On Monday, Nov. 1, the Rappahannock County High School 2004 Competition Squad loaded a bus headed for Strasburg, Va., to compete in the 2004 Bull Run District Cheer Competition, And what a night is was for them! Since August, they have worked numerous hours to perfect their routine. During their season, this year in particular, ’ they were faced with many unforeseen obstacles they would have to overcome with injuries and grades being just a couple of the factors. Just when you would think most would throw the towel in, I watched this team form their customary circle, hold hands and close their eyes. As I looked from face to face, I saw a determination like I’ve never seen before. You could almost feel the bond forming stronger than ever and the excitement in their eyes when they raised their heads. I knew at that moment they would jump any hurdle that was place before them. No one was going to stop what these young men and women live to do at this point in their life, and that is to compete. Right before going onto the mats, I often yell to them, “It’s show time,” and what a show they put on! All I could do was smile and wonder where the strength came from given the “clouds” that had been over their heads for the last several weeks of practice. Everything these young men and women had been through almost made you think something wanted them to fail. Only the opposite happened, they rose above, pulled together, and I honestly believe it made them stronger. Every year we come up with a motto that we carry with us throughout the season. This year we had two. The first comes from one of our teammates who was ipjured the night before they were to compete at Kings Dominion in an earlier competition. David Clement gave us this motto, and it was to “Remain Calm," which we had to tell ourselves over and over again. The second is one that comes from my heart to these young people, and that is “1 Believe.” Not only did they understand that I believe in them, but more importantly they believed in themselves and each other. Prior to the announcement A Coach’s Diary of placing third in the District and given the honor to compete at Regionals, Rappahannock County High School had four teammates named to the All District Teams. Christina r Howard and Corey Voorhies were named to the First All District Team, and Kelsey Hutchenson and Blair Atkins were named to the Second All District Team. Quite an honor for these four young people who worked so hard at their sport. The team will compete on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. at Lloyd C. Bird High School in Chesterfield, Va. Everyone is invited to come and support the squad as they do what they do best. We are confident you will not only find their routine entertaining, but will be amazed at the talent these young people have. Once again, to each and every one of my kids, “I Believe” and ‘"Remain Calm”!

Neighbors Elections today and yesteryear “The people have spoken” and regardless of our individual political feelings life will go on in our small community. When I arrived at Mt. Lebanon Church to cast my vote in the 2004 presidential election late Tuesday morning, I found a congenial group of neighbors with differing political views who were there to vote and warmly greet each other. In doing research, I came across an item of interest. After the national election in November 1928, Mr. and Mrs. WOODVILLE Fran Eldred 987-8412 fran8412@ v, mac.com William Meade Fletcher entertained a hunting party at Thornton Hill in Sperryville. Among the honored guests was the then Governor of Virginia, Harry Flood Byrd. Hunting was obviously not the only thing on their minds as exemplified by the place cards at the dinner table. The illustration on the card showed the Democratic donkey holding a handkerchief to his eyes from which large tears were streaming. A1 Smith wearing his famous brown derby mounted him. The text inside one of the cards said: “The Donkey has carried some very heavy loads, But he couldn't carry Al over Virginia roads. ” Did history just repeat itself?

In terms of percentages, the odds of survival for people who scored higher on measures of public and private religious involvement were 29 percent higher than for those who scored lower. Matters of spirituality aside, researchers speculate that some of this longer-life benefit may be derived from the increased social support and friendship associated with frequent attendance at religious services. It may also be that people who are actively religious take better care of their health. In any case, living a religious life seems to pay off in increased longevity. Funerals need to honor and reflect a person’s beliefs and values.

■IA1L _ From Page A1 I felt it was necessary to remove these individuals for the safety of the deputies at the jail,” said Sherertz. Deputies from Warren County and a facility in Northern Virginia, which Sherertz would not disclose, came to get the seven men. Five went to the Warren County Adult Detention Center, and two went to the Northern Virginia facility. I have to make periodic assessments on how secure the facility is, and it was time to address some issues there,” Sherertz said in an interview Friday. Sherertz said there was suspicion that contrabanditems prohibited inside, and sometimes even outside, the facility—had made its way into the jail. The Rappahannock News had received information that the contraband was drugs, but Sherertz declined to comment. “The contraband is evidence and I can’t comment on evidence,” said Sherertz. At a Glance Built in 1835 for $2,600, the Rappahannock County jail is the oldest in the state. “There have been no charges brought at this time,” he said in answer to a question. “We moved the inmates out so that we could undergo a complete security renovation on that cellblock,” said Sherertz. “We are always proactive when we see an issue that needs to be addressed.” Built in 1835 for $2,600, the Rappahannock County jail is the oldest in the state. The facility is rated for seven prisoners, but Sherertz says he has had as many, as 28. Approximately 20 inmates were being housed in the jail on that Friday night. “Because this is such an old building,” explained Sherertz, “we sometimes need to move inmates to a facility where they can be managed more closely and with greater security.” Security upgrades Based upon the recommendations of Maj. Chris Williams, Sherertz has several upgrades he plans to have in place before re-opening cellblock B. They include securing the duct work within the facility, making sure the electrical housing cannot be removed, ensuring the locks are in good repair and are tamper-proof, and making sure the access points from the corrections side of the building to the adminis-. trative offices are also tamper-proof. Sherertz said a new coat of paint and repairs to the bunks in the cells are also on the list. County Administrator John McCarthy said that he would support the sheriff’s future requests for funding to renovate the jail. “We have to work through the state Department of Corrections as well,” said McCarthy, “but I will support the sheriff’s ideas.” Sherertz said the majority of the prisoners he houses are not looking at long-term confinement. Most are there less than one year as they await —»T, trial or complete their sentence. Sentencing is dependent upon the crime, however, and confinement times can vary greatly. “When the consequences of the crime and the trial are very serious,” stressed Sherertz, “I don’t want them here. I will put the inmate in another facility to maintain public safety as well as that -X'-t of the facility and my employees.” County attorney Peter Luke said the number of criminal offenses committed by inmates while incarcerated in Rappahannock’s jail is very low. “By and large, there are just not many infractions coming out of the jail,” he said, “and most of those we do have are minor.” mouay, muvciiiuci i i. Sherertz said that local sheriff’s departments swap prisoners all the time as they try to address overcrowding, and underfunding. All seven of the inmates moved on Oct. 29 were in the jail because of crimes committed in Rappahannock County. Some were awaiting trials for additional crimes committed in other counties as well. “What we are doing now is preventive maintenance,” said Sherertz. “It’s a small, antique facility and things can go wrong when that is coupled with it being such a high traffic area.” Sherertz added that when the cellblock B renovations were complete, he plans to move the female inmates out of cellblock A and renovate that area as well. “I would be derelict in my obligations to the safety of the public and that of my employees if I didn’t address these issues,” said Sherertz. The sheriff hopes to have the B block renovations complete within the next three weeks. Kevin Seabrooke contributed to this article. Schools From Page A1 slight improvements in English and Math. Building improvements The board also heard a report of the school system’s plans for facilities improver ments. The architect who estimated the cost of the improvements noted how much time has elapsed since projections were made, and predicted there may be as much as an 11 percent increase in the project’s cost. Chappell suggested waiting to bid out the improvement project until February, in the hopes that the driving factors that have increased costs might decrease somewhat in the meantime.

Taylor came before the board with a complaint. He said his daughter wore a pro-life T-shirt to school. Before the instructional day began, the girl’s teacher sent her to the office. The administration called Taylor, and asked him to bring a change of clothing for his daughter. Taylor contends that the school’s decision not to allow his daughter’s T-shirt violated her rights to free speech. Taylor agreed with the idea that if the shirt and its slogan had been disruptive to instruction that it should not be allowed. He argued that her shirt could not have interrupted learning, because she was sent to the principal’s office to change before the instructional day even began. Taylor stated repeatedly that his feelings and his daughter’s pro-life sentiment are not a religious issue. Taylor said he is prepared to take whatever legal action is necessary to protect his daughter’s right to free speech. Sperryville Realty 11909-A Lee Highway • P.O.

Church From Page A1 want to be able to do that for her.” Last summer, Presgraves reached out to friends, neighbors and former church members to find a way to save the church and renew its congregation. During a July 11 meeting at the church, more than 35 people attended, many of whom shared their own fond memories of the church. Everyone seemed determined to make the revitalization dream a reality. During this meeting, the 14-year search for the old church ledger ended. Geraldine Payne, who lived next to the church, had the book and turned it over to the group. She said she received it from Nina Sisk, a distant cousin, while she cared for her in her declining years. Present at the July meeting were William Gimbel and Jessie Settle, who offered that they were the only original church members in attendance, and thus would take possession of the book, according to Presgraves and others at the meeting. Another meeting was scheduled for Sept. 19. It was advertised to be a prayer service where new members could come forward and profess their faith. Dr. Wayne Thompson—who had preached many times oyer the years at the Piedmont church—was scheduled to perform the services and accept anyone who came forward on that day to profess their faith. More than 30 people gathered that September day under a tent outside the church. After prayers were said and songs were sung, seven people came forward ready to profess their faith and help restart the congregation of the church. A turn of events This, according to several participants in the service, was where events took a turn. Anne Yeoman, a church supporter, offered to take notes at the Sept. 19 meeting on behalf of those attending. Her notes read: “Rev. Thompson then asked the two known current members present if they were willing to receive the new members. The members, Bill Gimbel and Woodrow Gimbel, expressed a willingness to receive new members, but did not think it proper to do so at this time .... The discussion ended with an agreement to reconvene those interested in membership, the existing members, and Rev. Thompson at the church on Oct. 24 at 3 p.m. to further consider the matter.” Although dismayed by the turn of events, the other participants were willing to go 4 forward with the Oct. 24 meeting. Presgraves said she received a letter from William Gimbel dated Oct. 11, saying the Oct. 24 meeting was canceled. No reason was given. It has yet to be rescheduled. The future of the church remains in limbo. Unbeknownst to the saddened group, three days before the Sept. 19 meeting, four members of the group filed papers in court to be named trustees of the church. A petition for appointment of trustees was filed Sept. 16 in the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County by attorney J. Michael Sharman of Culpeper on behalf of William Gimbel, Woodrow Gimbel Jr., Jessie Settle and Dolly Mae Sisk. The petition stated that “at a members meeting of the Piedmont Regular Baptist Church held on the 16th day of September 2004, one hundred percent of the surviving members voted to appoint certain trustees.” lilt |ii/k/ii>ivm iijuitattu uiat the Gimbel brothers, along with Settle and Sisk, were those voted as trustees. As such, the four were “clothed with all the powers and privilege and subject to all duties and obligations confirmed and imposed by law upon such trustees.” Jenny Millan, a Rolling Road resident trying to save the church and former writer of the Sperryville column for the Rappahannock News, said that when she asked attorney Sharman how he or his clients knew they are “the last surviving members” of the church, Sharman told her to look in the church records. Millan said that those records are in the possession of William Gimbel. Presgraves said she requested a copy of the bobk on several occasions and has never received one. After b reporter made several phone calls to attorney Sharman’s office over two days, a staff member said each time that Sharman was preparing for a “big case” and would not be able to return any calls before press time. In response to calls from the same reporter, William Gimbel said on Monday evening he would rather not comment on anything relating to the church. What’s next? Ruth Richards of Sperryville’s Jenkins Hollow hopes the renovation of the church will move forward. “It’s the only place in this neighborhood that’s not a residence,” she said. “We all see it when we come and go, and it’s a building that contains a lot of people’s dreams, wishes and prayers. We should respect that.” Presgraves agrees. “A church is not something you want to fight about,” she vowed. “My intention is to restore the church. I don’t need to be the leader, I just want to see the church renewed.” She went on to say that two local carpenters recently volunteered their time and services to help prepare the building for winter and ultimately help restore it altogether. This would have to be approved by the trustees before moving forward. Presgraves said she has sought such approval, but gotten no response. “It was a beautiful coalition of people interested in the historic preservation of the church,” said Millan. “To see this church sit there falling down is heartbreaking,” said Presgraves. “I am hopeful we can all come together as one and try to save the church. Nothing would make me happier than that.” Farmland From Page A1 Fire Hall. Sharon Pierce, president of the RCCA, presented McCarthy with a $5,000 check from the group to help the “Farmland Preservation Program.” What landowners think In interviews conducted by a reporter at an earlier time, landowners and farmers were asked their thoughts on the new program. Stonewall-Hawthome District Supervisor Bob Anderson said the program sounded like one more good option for the preservation of land. “I think it’s a good idea,” Anderson said. “I’m just not sure how it’s going to work. Say you sold your development rights 10 years ago. What would they be worth now? With land values being what they are, I don’t see how the county’s price can keep up with the actual value of the land.” McCarthy acknowledges that rising land values are a factor. “That’s a risk you take,” McCarthy said. “It’s got to be somebody dedicated to keeping the land as it is, but needs money.” Thornton Hill Farm owner Bill Fletcher said that he didn’t think the county could ever keep up with commercial land values. - “But that’s not necessarily the point,” Fletcher said. “The concern is what’s best for the people. I think it’s an excellent program and I hope it’s successful.” Fletcher added that he thought the people chosen to sit on the committee to review applications were “good people.” The Farmland Preservation Program Committee, appointed by the Board of Photo by Richard Lykes QUESTION: Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy takes a question from Jed Duvall regarding the ongoing threat to conservation in the county from development in nearby counties. McCarthy emphasized the critical importance of conservation easements in this complex struggle to preserve the county’s rural character and still get its fair share of state funds for county programs. Supervisors, consists of Hampton District Supervisor Bryant Lee, Planning Commission board member Alvin F. Henry, Dr. Monira Rifaat, Charlie Sher, and Phil Irwin. Similar programs McCarthy said that Fauquier County and Clarke County had similar programs that were successful and that the average development rights there went for about $20,000. McCarthy used a 100-acre farm as an example to explain the basic premise of the program. “Presumably you are already using one 25-acre development right for your own house,” McCarthy said. “That would mean you have three development rights for the remaining 75 acres. That could mean something along the lines of $60,000 for the landowner without harving to sell the land.” The landowner maintains ownership and use of the property. Rollback taxes McCarthy said the program was currently being funded by the county’s pool of rollback taxes, which he placed at about $80,000 to $100,000. The county collects about $25,000 to $30,000 in roll back taxes per year McCarthy said. “Basically, a landowner agrees to keep using the land for agriculture, usually for six year terms,” McCarthy said. “Under this agreement, the land is taxed at its agricultural value, which is lower than its value as residential property.” McCarthy said that if the land is sold, or the landowner decides to do something different with it before the six-year term is up, then the land is retroactively taxed at the higher value. McCarthy said the county hopes to receive additional donations and grant money in the future to help finance the Farmland Preservation Program. “We’re probably going to have to beat the bushes to get the first couple of applications,” McCarthy said. “Then we might get some word of mouth going.” The Farmland Preservation Program applications are available in the County Administrator’s office and are due by Dec. 30, 2004. “We have to show that the program is working before that will happen,” McCarthy said. “You have to have a couple of victories before you say you’re ready to play the game.” McCarthy said the farm program lets people keep and use their land. “But it could mean they or their heirs would have limitations on it,” he said. “Our land has got value because of scenery,” McCarthy said. “What we have for sale is landscape, basically.” DURING A 21-YEAR CAREER, HE’S TAKEN A LOT OF WALKS OUT NONE AS IMPORTANT AS THIS ONE.

Tuning in tc vintage radios j Photos courtesy/ Paul Farmer RADIO RESTORER: Paul Farmer at home with a few of his 800 vintage radios. r 1 Photo by Richard Lykes New exhibit Sandra and Gus Forbush, who live near Flint Hill, share a moment at the opening of her show, “Horses and Hounds,” last Saturday at the Long View Gallery in Sperryville. Forbush is well-known in the art world for her luminous oils of animals as well as portraits of people and children. The gallery show will run through Nov. 22. By Briar Suzanne Bogin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock resident Paul Farmer has tuned his interest to vintage radios, radio history and radio collecting. “It started when I was in high school studying for my amateur radio license,” he said. “I used to do the audio for the school dances and such, and I really enjoyed it.” Time passed however, and college and family life became Farmer’s focus. Then in 1995, he said, “I realized thousands of other people across the country had an interest in saving and restoring these artifacts. I just dove right in.” Since that time, Farmer has joined several clubs that specialize in the collection and restoration of vintage radios, and he opened his own business as well. He runs Time out of Mind Radio, a leading vendor of vintage radios, vintage electronic equipment, and radio collector books. As part of his business efforts, he offers restoration work through The Radio Workbench, and appraisals through Time out of Mind Appraisers. “I maintain a diverse inventory of antique radios and a large library relating to vintage radio history and equipment,” said Farmer. “I recently renewed my interest in restoration as well. I want to help people learn about grandma’s radio so they understand the history behind it and want to keep it rather than get rid of it.” Farmer was recently the lead author in the Antique Wireless Association’s 17th annual review publication. His piece, entitled “The Regional TR-1: 50 years later,” was a 30-page story of the first transistor radio ever built. “It’s one of the most important radios to collectors today,” he said. Farmer noted that the collecting community surrounding vintage radio is not as big as stamp or coin collecting, but numbers in the tens of thousands and boasts about 40 clubs nationwide. “The vintage radio community is very active,” he said. Of course, Farmer hopes interest in vintage radio will rub off on others. “Lots of people have memories of old radios,” he said, “and when you bring them out in a public venue and talk about the history behind them, people are impressed and want to learn more. That’s important to me.” See RADIOS, Page B2 RADIO HISTORY: The Regency TR-1, the world’s first transistor radio, dates back to 1954. Farmer is a student and collector of the earliest American and Japanese transistor radios. Federal Jazz Commission band comes to The Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News A six-piece band called the Federal Jazz Commission returns to The Theatre at Washington with more of the Dixieland style of jazz which proved so popular last year. The concert is on Saturday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. The program is titled, “New Orleans Jazz—And Then Some!” The Federal Jazz Commission (also known as the FJC) is a Washington, D.C., based group specializing in classic jazz as it was performed by various small bands in the 1920s, particularly those of King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong. Established in 1976, the FJC has performed for several major institutions in the national capital area. Humorously describing itself as “scrupulously apolitical,” the FJC has been heard at the White House, Season opens at the Ki Theatre FROM THE CAST: Playwright and Rappahannock resident Joyce Abell receives a bouquet of roses from the cast of “Children of War" Saturday night. Stephanie Mastri and Cydria Manette present the flowers to the playwright-director. FULL HOUSE: A standing-room only crowd at Ki Theatre rewarded the actors and playwright of “Children of War." By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahanock News More than 100 people helped launch the Ki Theatre’s new season last Saturday by attending a play called “Children of War.” The performance, based on an oral history taken down and written as a play by Rappahannock resident Joyce Abell for Ki Theatre’s “No Ordinary Person” series, enjoyed a full-house with a standing room only crowd. The play marked Abell’s debut as a playwright. Abell took the story of four women who grew up as children in Europe during World War II and turned their reminiscences into an original play. In addition, two monologues by Emery Lazar (an Hungarian refugee) and Rene Ruffner ( an American) as children affected by the war, were riveting — particularly Lazar’s piece where he shed tears on stage as he remembered his Jewish friends being taken away by the Nazis. It was powerful and memorable. A taped DVD is being made of the play. The stories of the children were portrayed by four area actresses: Cydrie Manette, Stephanie Mastrie, Sallie Morgan and Patty Hardee. Photos Dy P.ichard Lykes BRAVO!: Taking a bow at Ki Theatre’s production of “Children of War,” are, from left, Stephanie Mastri, Patty Hardee, Cydria Manette and Sallie Morgan. Not pictured are actors Emery Lazar and Rene Ruffner who recalled their own experiences as children affected by the war and its aftermath. Congress, Supreme Court, Smithsonian Institution, Kennedy Center, and a number of foreign embassies. Its repertoire includes rags, stomps, marches, blues, cakewalks, hymns, fox trots, and one-steps. The group comprises Marty Frankel, cornet and leader, Henning Hoehne, clarinet and saxophones, Steve Welch, trombone, Donn Andre, banjo, Tom Gray, bass, Sonny McGown, drums. They all have long and notable careers with various bands before coming together at the FJC. The Federal Jajjt Commission travels widely. The band appeared at the Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival in Davenport, Iowa and the Ocean Shores Dixieland Jazz Festival in Oceans Shores, Wash. It has performed at the Sonoma County Dixie Jazz Festival in Santa Rosa, Calif., the Arizona Classic Jazz Festival in Mesa, Ariz., and the Cedar Basin Jazz Festival in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The group also has traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark, and played for appreciative audiences at jazz clubs there. Shortly before coming to Little Washington they will be playing for the Potomac River Jazz Club. The Federal Jazz Commission has been featured in an article in the Mississippi Rag, a national periodical devoted to traditional jazz and ragtime, in several articles in the Washington Post, Washington Times, and Washington Flyer, and on WAMU-FM radio in Washington, D.C. Its recordings have received favorable reviews in the Jazz Journal International and the Mississippi Rag. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Donations to 2004 United Way campaign increase Donations to the current Piedmont United Way (PUW) campaign are slightly higher this year than last. Executive Director Warren McKeen said, “we are currently about $17,000 ahead of last year and that figure is due to the generosity of existing donors and new donors.” The Piedmont United Way funds 36 agencies that provide services in Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange and Madison Counties. The public portion of the annual fund-raising campaign began Sep. 1 and ends Nov. 30, but the PUW continues to raise money throughout the fiscal year. The overall goal this year is to raise $615,000 by June 2005. The group hosts several special events to attract new donors and keep the public aware of what PUW and its partner agencies do in the community. The annual Madison County yard sale, held in October, raised over $12,000. Last spring, an annual golf tournament was initiated at Somerset Golf Course in Orange County and that event will be held again on March 19, 2005. This year a Carnival Cruise has been added as another venue through which people can donate to the Piedmont United Way and have a great time in doing so. The new event is called “Cruise for a Cause” and is done in conjunction with Battlefield Travel and Carnival Cruise Lines. The cruise that is scheduled to benefit PUW is a sevenday cruise in late June 2005. A special group rate has been created and a block of rooms has been reserved. In addition, a $35 per person charge has been added as a donation to PUW which will be matched dollar for dollar by Carnival Cruise Lines. For more information on the cruise, contact Bill Ooten at Battlefield Travel, 540-8251393. Tb become a donor or to learn more about the Piedmont United Way call 540-825-7615, stop by the office at 118 East Piedmont Street in Culpeper between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or visit www.piedmontunitedway.org. Game warden teaches safety and hunting basics course By Alexandra B<3gdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer Virginia game Warden Matt Miller’s easy-going smile vanished from his face as he addressed students in a hunter education program on Saturday. “The press loves to use this phrase — but there is no such thing as a hunting accident,” he told his audience. “If one hunter shoots and kills another hunter, it is a homicide. If you (are hunting) in this county and you shoot and kill someone else, I will charge you with murder.” The game warden was just as adamant about another topic: Hunting and drinking don’t mix, he said. There is zero tolerance for it.1 “Go out and (have a good time) hunting and then go home and have a couple of drinks (with your buddies),” he advised. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with swapping exaggerated stories about the day’s activities, he said. During his presentation, Miller taught about 90 students about general aspects of game law. Some of the topics included how and when to obtain different types of hunting licenses, and where hunting is permissible and where it is prohibited. Licensing Virginia law stipulates that everyone “must purchase the proper licenses before hunting or trapping.” Landowners and their immediate families are exempt, however. So are tenants who receive the landowner’s permission to hunt on the land where they live. The exemptions also apply to residents age 65 and older; and children up to 11 years old who are accompanied and supervised by a licensed adult. Youths (ages 12-15) or anyone 16 and older who has never received a hunting license must complete hunter education courses in order to obtain a license. The two-day courses, such as the one held at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds last weekend, are sponsored by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Upon successful completion of the course, participants obtain a license that allows them to hunt “small game,” Miller explained. Additional licenses are necessary in order to hunt different types of game, such as deer or turkey. Hunters must carry their licenses at all times, Miller stressed. “If you forget your license (at home), go back and get it,” he said. “The one time you don’t will be the time you get that buck with the rocking chair (antlers).” Do’s and don’ts Hunting on private property is OK as long as the hunters have the landowner’s permission, Miller said. Hunters must also have the landowner’s permission to retrieve game from private property. Posted properties are designated by aluminum-color stripes on trees, gateposts or fence posts; or by signs prohibiting hunting, fishing or trespassing on the property. It is illegal to hunt there without written permission from the landowner, Miller said. Doing so is punishable by a fine up to $2,500 and/or 12 months in jail. Hunting within 100 yards of a state maintained road and hunting from a vehicle are also illegal in Virginia, Miller said. Safety, etiquette and ethics In addition to teaching students about hunting regulations, instructors stressed safety throughout the first day. Specifically, students learned about different types of firearms and ammunition, basic shooting techniques and how to clean and care for the guns. The students also learned that exercising common courtesy is just as important as abiding by regulations. For instance, bad habits such as littering aren’t just illegal, they cast aspersions on all nunters, instructor Jennifer Miller said. ‘Tour appearance and what you do affect how (we are all) viewed,” she said. Radios From Page B1 Farmer characterized his interest in vintage radios as “an avocation in radio history, 20th Century artistic-industrial design appreciation, and communications technology and practice, and as a small business—rather than a hobby.” In addition to his vintage radio dealings, Farmer is also a director of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), a lead environmental group in the county with very broad interests. Farmer used his previous experience with the MidAtlantic Radio Club to help RLEP create a new membership plan. “I want the support for this group to grow and help increase our ability to do good.” he said. Red Cross offers pet first aid class A four-hour American Red Cross Pet First Aid course will be held Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Red Cross building, 146 N. Main Street in Culpeper. The course teaches individuals basic first aid techniques for dogs and cats due to common illness, injury, or a life-threatening condition. Participants will learn how to identify signals of breathing emergencies, including choking; identify signals of cardiac arrest and how to provide care; identify life-threatening bleeding and how bleeding can be controlled; when and how to move an injured pet; and much more. The American Red Cross/Humane Society Pet First Aid book is included in the $35 course fee. In order to enroll, course fee must be paid no later than Nov. 11.
