This grant is the second part to a planning grant which was received in July in the amount of $3,500. That portion is being used to explore other localities that already have a classic model for college access to lowincome students in operation. The grant is a result of a considerable amount of public input during community meetings that began in See GRANT, Page A10 One of the major issues being faced at Rappahannock County High School is the fact that many students are the first generation in a family to attend college. Lt. Gov. suggests giving regions more control Kaine to focus on economy, education in 2005 race for governor of Virginia By Dominic Bonaiito Rappahannock Nows Staff Writer The concept of regionalism pops up frequently in Lt. Guv. Tim Kaine’s vision for Virginia’s future. Recognizing that the success of the commonwealth’s cities and counties is tied so closely to their regional economies, Kaine wonders what would happen if the state started approaching other important issues—like education funding, for example, or transportation and land use planning—from a more regional perspective. "In every way in which we send money back to localities, we ought to be encouraging regionalism,” he told See KAINE, Page A6 Notices & Closings • Rappahannock County public schools will be closed for students from Wednesday, Dec. 22 through Friday, Dec. 31.

School bus drivers take to the roads • • • All for the love of the school children By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News StafT Writer Traveling the backroads of Rappahannock County with two preschoolers, 10 first graders, 10 second graders, 11 other elementary schoolers and 15 high schoolers at 7:30 each morning could prove to be a challenge to most, but for local bus drivers, it is, for the most part, a pleasure. “I just love kids,” said Bertha Jacobs who has been driving a school bus in the Viewtown area for the past five years. Ask drivers in most school districts and you will not find them saying it is a joy to transport children back and forth from home to school. In fact, most counties are in short supply of bus drivers. However, Rappahannock county is not an average school district. With 22 full time drivers and five substitutes, Timmy Beam, transportation supervisor, does not have a shortage of drivers this year. Drivers have many different reasons why they want to drive a school bus. For Jacobs, she and her husband James both drive buses and the ben Rappahannock News Staff Photo-Jeanne Spatt LOVES DRIVING: Rappahannock County school bus driver Chris Keyser. 31, has been driving since he was 18 years old.

Mary Anna and “Buster” Hitt RCHS’ quiz bowl team is 3-3 By Anna Kreyling Special lo the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High School’s quiz bowl team went head-to-head against Clarke County, Manassas Park and George Mason last week, defeating Clarke. The first match of the evening went well for the Panthers as they answered eight questions to Clarke’s three, giving Rappahannock an early 80-30 lead. They lengthened their lead in the directed round, gaining another 20 points. Going into the third round, the Panthers were ahead 15080. Clarke made a good showing, but was unable to make up the large lead held by Rappahannock. The match ended 165-130 with Rappahannock winning. Rappahannock then matched up against Manassas Park. The Cougars took an early 50-30 with the Panthers being slow on the buzzers in the first round. However, they made up this 20-point deficit in the second round by answering eight questions to Manassas Park’s six. In the last round both teams performed well, answering four questions each. This tie score moved the teams into a “sudden death” tiebreaker round. Rappahannock was again slow on the buzzers, allowing Manassas Park to interrupt on the first question, correctly identifying Turin, the Italian city in which the shroud thought to be wrapped around Jesus is located. In the last round, George Mason made a stronger showing than they had the week earlier when the Panthers upset the regionally-ranked team. Rappahannock stayed close, but was unable to topple the Mustangs again. The final score was Rappahannock 135, George Mason 160. ' High scorers for the evening were Anna Kreyling with 12 questions answered, Clay Vickers with five questions, Tbm Gillis with four questions, and Forrest Marquisee with one question.

Discussion tabled on new roadway to subdivision . Meeting to be held with attorneys, other parties involved By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council reviewed an application to vacate Wheeler Street at its Dec. 8 meeting. Local residents Jimmy DeBergh and Diane Bruce made the request to council to ailow a new roadway to go through the Pleasant View Acres subdivision that has been proposed by DeBergh. The property lies at the intersection of Gay Street and Wheeler Street, adjacent to Bruce’s property. The issue was referred to Town Planning Commission Chairman Gary Schwartz who requested consultation with Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy before decisions were made since the property does partially lie within the county. In a public hearing regarding subdivision of the DeBergh property, council member Jean Goodine was concerned with construction that would take place on the property. Her main concern was how heavy machinery would navigate through Gay Street as it is too narrow to accommodate large trucks. Michael Brown, attorney for DeBergh advised that the trucks could come in by way of Wheeler Street and turn at the corner of Wheeler and Main. Questions were raised by Goodine as to the town’s subdivision ordinance with regard to right of way. The proposed right of way is 50feet, which includes a 20y2Dfoot right of way and 20y2Dfeet for the street width, leaving an additional 10-feet. Council member Alice Butler raised questions regarding the lot sizes and if they did in fact conform to the town’s ordinance. Schwartz advised that the lots, which are each just over two acres, do conform to the town's ordinance. After much discussion, Mayor Eugene^ Leggett moved to table discussion of the subdivision until a meeting with all involved parties — including attorneys and administrators — could be held to discuss the right of way and water taps. Carriage rides In other business, the Shenandoah Carriage Company made a request to the council to continue offering carriage service to the public. The council will allow the company to operate in the same manner it has in the past. Shenandoah Carriage owners told the council they would be doing more marketing to make their business more successful within the town. New Business The town council apprmed a proposal to consult with Milton Herd, a property planning consultant who has worked with the planning commission in the past, to update the town's comprehensive plan Council also discussed bringing an additional well online for the town's drinking water. At this time, the well would be used as a reserve source. The proposal has been tabled until further research.

The accident happened on Route 231, seven miles from Sperryville. According to State Trooper Lee Felts, Greene was transported by Sperryville Rescue to Culpeper Hospital where he was treated and released. Sperryville Fire Department also responded to the call. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath Town ARB approves applications By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town of Washington Architectural Review Board met last Thursday with four applications on its agenda. The board approved replacement of an existing sign at 189 Main Street, the Foster-Harris House bed and breakfast. An application was approved for partial reconstruction of Kim and Janice Abraham’s house at 537 Main Street. The addition, which is located on the north side of the house, will include one and one-half rooms. The materials that are slated to be used in the building will be compatible to those existing in the dwelling. Also approved was a request by The Inn at Little Washington to build fencing at the first house just south of the Post Office in Washington on Main Street where the shop, Rare Finds, used to be. The fence will be located between the pillars on the front wall.

A door had been placed there temporarily during renovations and the owners decided that they would prefer a door instead of a window there permanently. After much discussion, a motion was made by board member Susan Babcock to approve the replacement. The motion was not seconded, therefore the application was tabled until the Jan. 13 meeting. The board tabled an application made by the County of Rappahannock for fencing around the emergency generator behind the TYeasurer’s Office on Gay Street due to lack of representation.

Game day comes and goes and often no one is there to capture the event for the newspaper. People are there to watch. Parents are there, family and friends are there, students are there supporting the home team. Unfortunately, we do not have a large staff which can cover each and every event for the paper. And although we now have a new part-time sports editor and a separate page devoted to sports we need more input from our community. This is a community newspaper. We need parents, students and coaches to become more involved by sending in sports scores, photos, high scorers of the game, many of the things a community wants to know about its student athletes. It is important to give our athletes support and have their name in the newspaper, a place where they can find pride in their efforts. These are the newspaper clips that will be found years to come in scrapbooks and shown to grandchildren. We need everyone on our team. S r Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

Thanks for contributions to the Blair Crossman fund I would like to thank all who contributed to the fund for Blair Crossman, the daughter of our school system’s physical therapist, Stephanie Loos. I believe Stephanie was able to pay off one medical bill which was a great help. If anyone still cares to contribute, please send a tax deductible check to Project Rainbow, 140 White Rose Mountain Lane, Sperryville,Va. 22740. Please make it known that it is a contribution to the fund for Blair Crossman. Stephanie is a single mom of three children, Caitlin, 16, and twins Taylor and Blair 15. The twins, Taylor and Blair were bom nine weeks premature and were unable to breathe on their own at birth. This resulted in permanent brain damage in the form of cerebral palsy. Blair has had numerous operations and is confined to a wheelchair. Stephanie may never make it out of the sea of medical bills, so any help is appreciated. It is a great time of year to think of others in need, and get a tax deduction as well. Thanks so much. Mary Riggleson Sperryville ' v*** ..QLLZMt; ..THEY doTtA VO 5oket^»j6 About , rwi6 rm \c [ ms u rV .HWSBCL*— Letters ‘I believe that Jesus did (have a sense of humor)’ This is in response to those critics of Patrick O’Connell whose letters appeared in the Rappahannock News on Dec. 9. While I have profound respect for their faith, I have to think that in this instance they are more eager to find fault than they are to understand. One writer comments, “fi^d your story omitted the several references by Mr. O’Connell to himself as ‘pope’ or his book as ‘bible’. . . .” Actually, Mr. O’Connell did not refer to himself as pope nor his book as bible, nor did your reporter say he did. The inn manager did use these words and I believe he was quoting Gov. Mark Warner. More to the point, any ordinary desk dictionary lists purely secular usage for the words, “bible” and “pope.” No one need take offense because an authoritative book is described as a “bible” or an authority figure as “pope.” Another writer called O’Connell’s entrance “a mockery of the sacred symbols. . . .” If O’Connell was mocking anything, it was himself. He did this with a brief, visual joke which lasted no more than 10 or 15 seconds. In fact, it was more self-deprecating humor than it was mockery of anything. Dressed in his usual and unique chefs outfit, he entered the classroom from a side door, and walked over to the cook table. He was preceded by a boy who was dressed as a choirboy or acolyte and who was carrying a lit censer. That was it. It was so soon over that I suspect not everyone in the room even saw it. There was no pretense of celebrating a religious ceremony. I don’t know whether the Pope has a sense of humor or not. I believe that Jesus did. I suspect both would be more amused them offended by O’Connell. It is also important to remember what Chef O’Connell was doing that afternoon. He was generously donating his time and the resources of his inn for the benefit of the Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community. He was giving to the community, as he and his partner often do, and for that he should be thanked. Mike Mahoney Washington ‘Refreshing inspiration on the editorial page’ It would be difficult to put a positive spin on the “cooking class” episode, yet I was exceedingly impressed, educated, and found delight in the very eloquent letters from Father DeMartino, Ms. Bowerman, Ms. Curley, and Mr. Hagarty that were printed in the Dec. 9 Rappahannock News. Even though I am not a Roman Catholic, I was raised in St. Paul, Minn., where a large percentage of the population is Catholic and most of my friends were Catholic. To this day a good friend of mine is pastor of a large parish in suburban St. Paul. As a matter of fact, I am an evangelical Protestant and thought I had a good knowledge of the doctrine and catechism of the Roman Catholic Church. After reading the four letters I realized I had more to learn. Each of the letters so clearly and articulately explained the meaning of the sacred signs, symbols, and liturgy, as well as their significance in The Church and our relationship to God. And even though the letters were intended as criticism of the “cooking class” debacle, I found the scriptural truths mentioned in the letters a refreshing inspiration and so appropriate during this Christmas season. Who needs Christmas cards when we can find inspiration and truth on the editorial page? It is my hope and prayer this controversy can be put behind us as we enter into this Yuletide, but I sure would like to know the source of the ecclesiastical vestments and incense censer used for the cooking class procession. Over the past few years it has been my pleasure to become acquainted with Mr. O’Connell, and have been warmed and refreshed at the hearth of his and The Inn at Little Washington’s hospitality. He is a kind, generous, benevolent gentleman and a great neighbor. I can only speak for myself, but it isn’t hard for me to imagine his sadness, regret, and disappointment in having caused this offense to the wonderful Catholic community here in Rappahannock County. Paul Hagstrom Washington A thanks to the supporters of Wakefield’s art show, Wakefield Country Day School recently held its Third Annual “Art from the Heart” Art Show and Auction, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the patrons, sponsors, supporters and participants. We received help and support from so many quarters that it is difficult to name all those in the community who played some part in making this event not only an enjoyable evening but also one that supported our school and our community artists. The Flint Hill Public House provided a beautiful venue and delicious food for our opening reception, and John and Denise Pearson also let us keep the artwork on display throughout their hours of operation for two additional days. This allowed the school to increase exposure of the artwork to the general public and, ultimately, the sales. I also wanted to specifically thank Farfglu Vineyards, Gray Ghost Winery, Oasis Winery and Rappahannock Cellars for their support. Other sponsors and supporters included Angler Environmental; Mr. and Mrs. Zohor Ben-Dov; Martha Buchanan and Jose P. Lucero; Candace Clough Estate Gardener; Sacred Springs Farm Lusitanos; Dr. and Mrs. James Dale; Hampton Foundation; Dr. and Mrs. Harry Heard III; Lester’s Pharmacy; LPL Financial Services; Pamela Lynn-Tucker; Mr. and Mrs. Peter Luke; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pearl; Smitt/s Building Supply; Mr. and Mrs. James W.

Wiley, II Real Estate. And, once again, we are grateful to Alaina Cugnon, chair of the “Art from the Heart” Art Show and Auction, and her organizing committee. Thanks to the talented artists who participated, and of course a special note of appreciation to everyone who bought art. It is through their kindness and generosity that we are able to offer and expand innovative teaching methods like our Art Department’s Monart Method to our students, while at the same time helping to showcase our student artwork and support the arts in our community. We hope to see everyone again next year. Kathleen F.

Two “Coffeewood” trees were stolen, one from a farm near Castleton and the other from a farm near Huntly. On Sunday afternoon two cases of wine were taken from a car trunk shortly after the owner had bought them at Gray Ghost Vineyard. Three Christmas trees were cut and taken from Spring Hill Tree Farm in Gid Brown Hollow, Sheriff Woodward reported, but the thief only got away with two because one tree fell off the truck.

Opinion Anna Wolfe’s new CD is a treasure Slate Mills resident Anna Wolfe, with producer Wendy Waldman, has just completed her new CD, “My Treasure.” I am trying to decide what kind of album this is. Is it the kind you want to curl up with on a snowy, introspective day, contemplating every line of soulful lyrics? Or the kind to listen to in the company of friends, with all the dials cranked up, reveling in the alluring melodies and fast-changing rhythms? It is definitely not the kind of music that you will want to play as background. You won’t, I’m afraid, hear much of it on the radio. -This music will demand your attention. You will need to sit down and listen! Anna’s acquaintance with Rappahannock County began and ended with what she calls “profound experiences” at Ki Theatre. (She and her husband Philip Vaandrager will be moving soon to Nashville.) In the spring of 2002 she attended Paul Reisler’s songwriters camp, where I heard her perform, “Ballad of the Nameless Son,” and was immediately her fan. The couple moved to Rappahannock County shortly after that. Anna s other profound experience” at Ki was as director of music for The Shepherds’ Play this year. This is a medieval Nativity play with about 20 musical pieces, many of which are songs based on the original folk melodies. You will not find this recording in any stores, local or otherwise. It will not be released until April 2005. But you can find instructions for obtaining an advance copy (or copies) at annawolfe.com. I am not a qualified music critic who is up to date on current recorded music. But herie are some thoughts on Anna’s music from some who are: “Like Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde and even Jewel, all of whom know the value in singing with feeling, local singer/songwriter Anna Wolfe follows tradition with the same boldness of voice. Wolfe’s anger, love, passion and desperation are so clearly expressed in her tone that you don’t even need to know what she’s saying.” (Sarah Meadows) “Anna Wolfe’s music seems to come from a very pure and supremely original place. In a world of cookie cutters and franchises, her evolving journey as a songwriter should be wonderful to watch.” (Beth NeilsenChapman) “Anna Wolfe is one of the most gifted young songwriters I’ve met in many, many years. She has this remarkable ability to weave a story. Anna is a real original with a totally unique voice.” (Paul Reisler) My own very personal impression is that Anna’s compositions speak to me more deeply than anything I have heard for a long, long time. Is it because I have known and worked with her personally, or know some of the people and events (and even houses) that she sings about? I don’t think so. I have never met Joni Mitchell (whom Anna cites as an important influence). But Joni’s song about the “constant stranger” (aka r guardian angel I still brings tears to my eyes. And in that same song are words that I find to be the most terrifying of all: “LOVE IS GONE.” Anna’s songs about her grandmother or great great uncle or the ghost in that house make us all part of the same family. And the mystery that is Christopher, her “treasure,” strikes very deep indeed. The music itself is simply elegant. Besides Anna’s singing and guitar and piano, there are strings, a pennywhistle and other instruments on selected songs. But the instrumentation is sparse. Every note shines like the shooting stars she is singing about. My favorite example is the exquisite cello passage (played by Emily Wright) on the title song. Just a few notes, a few seconds long, so perfectly placed and played so simply and sensitively, they touch our very hearts. That is what I think sets this music apart: It is completely unpretentious. A true treasure in these seemingly mindless, fearful, superficial times. Which brings me to mention the wonderfully uplifting concluding song: “Goodbye pirates, You are sailors now, And the desert's much too far from the sea. Raise up your sails And the wind will know how to carry you along to Photo Restoration Rescue and protect your family's most precious photographic treasures. Your digitally captured memories will be restored and archived for future generations to enjoy. Carl Zitzmann Photography 540-937-6430 your dreams. ” Thank you Anna and Philip, and best wishes on your new venture.

It is a notion that is still being refined but expect to hear more about it in the coming months from next year’s Democratic candidate for governor. “We ought to be sending these monies back saying we’ll give you your share of the formula plus 10 percent if you engage in a cooperative provision or planning of services within your [region], and you get minus 10 percent if you do it on your own,” Kaine said. That does not mean radical changes, like consolidating school districts, but Kaine said the prospect of additional money might be enough to entice school districts or local governments to work together in providing similar services more efficiently. He suggested taking it a step further to address Virginia’s transportation troubles by turning over some of the decision-making responsibilities to the underutilized regional planning district commissions. Kaine said the state is “constantly playing catch-up” because there is little coordination between the local governments, which are responsible for land-use planning, and the state, which is responsible for planning, building and maintaining all roads and railways. Giving local officials more control over both might result in better planning overall, Kaine said. The planning district commissions were created in the late 1960s to encourage more cooperation between local governments and the state. Comprising local elected officials, they handle issues of of Woodbridge; four sisters Mary Helen Jenkins of Florida, Lola Mae Jenkins of Woodstock, Bonnie Faye Potter of Front Royal and Barbara Ann Easton of Huntly; seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. A funeral service was held Dec. 6 at Maddox Funeral Home in Front Royal with the Rev. Michael Reid and Pastor Eugene Lillard officiating. shared importance, albeit minor ones, but have not really tackled major topics like growth. Conceptually, Kaine foresees letting each region plan and prioritize how to spend its share of state transportation dollars. “You, in a region, will know you have this much money over a number of years, and you choose the array of transit versus roads and the timing and phasing of where it is,” he said. Recalling his days as Richmond mayor, Kaine acknowledged that getting local officials to agree on a course of action will probably prove no easier than persuading state officials. “This is easier said than done,” he said, “but we know it’s what needs to be done.” Looking at next year’s race against Attorney General Jerry Kilgore, the likely Republican nominee, Kaine said he is ready to defend Democratic Gov. Mark Warner and his successful push for a historic tax restructuring earlier this year. Kaine said the increases in some taxes were balanced by reductions in others and the overdue investment in statefunded education, public safety and health care. “For the first time in 15 years, the pro-investment argument beat out the no-taxes argument,” he said, adding that he hopes the victory of the tax package in the traditionally conservative House of Delegates is a sign of growing bipartisanship in the legislature. Kaine also addressed the regional gang issue in his hourlong discussion with The Times, saying he is mulling a juvenile companion to the successful Virginia Exile program he helped launch while mayor of Richmond. Virginia Exile uses mandatory minimum sentences to target illegal gun use.

Either they’ve shot someone or they’re on a slab because they’ve been shot.” Kaine said he is not calling for stiff minimum penalties, but he would at least like to see judges given the option of sending juveniles who carry guns to jail. “You’re not going to turn a bad person into a good person, but if you make them think twice about carrying a weapon, you’ll have less stuff happen on the streets,” he said. Drivers From Page A1 bus driver. And now, well, it is great to work for the county and the benefits are really good,” he said. Discipline on buses “We’ve had problems on some buses, but nothing really bad. A lot can happen when a driver doesn’t face the kids like a teacher does,” said Beam. On buses where there have been more problems, cameras have been installed. In Rappahannock, most of the drivers know the parents of the students they transport, which is a benefit when it comes to discipline on the bus. “I have some isolated incidents on my bus, but I usually deal with them myself. Of course, I have a close direct relationship with the parents,” said Keyser. Keyser attributes his lack of problems to having a good rapport with the students. He has driven the same route for 13 years and said he is very fortunate to have a good group of students. On Jacobs bus, she said the children have gotten used to her and her rules. “If they don’t follow the rules, they can come sit at the front of the bus. The high school kids don’t like that,” she said, laughing. “No seriously, these kids are my neighbors, they know I know their parents and they don’t act up a lot.” A typical day Keyser begins his day at 7:05 a.m. traveling Shade Road to Rock Mills, then Long Mountain, then Tiger Valley to the town of Washington where he picks up most of his riders.

'f" Rappahannock News 'fi part of the starting >P injured, the Rappa' '/v- Cady Panthers start1'- game against Central y * v. hool-Woodstock in the '• -;3-t week. i he Rapp team began iy.r.g with great intensity ’ ‘ nded up losing to Central - ■ ytl i he Lady Panthers ■-•.owed a lot of hustle, getting rebounds and fast break opportunities. During one fast oreak Samantha Brown went ’.he distance herself, crossing jver the Central defense in ’he process. The crowd erupted after she went behind her back and converted the lay up. Once the second quarter got underway, the Lady Panther's execution broke down. The girls ha.d trouble connecting on many ill advised passes and overthrows forced turnovers for tort against Central the Panthers. Central was strong offensively using lots of motion to confuse the Lady Panthers. Central’s players had mostly open shots due to missed defensive assignments. By the end of the first half the score was Rappahannock 11, Central 38. Central pulled away in the second half. With a weak inside defense Rappahannock allowed Central to make the majority of its shots underneath the basket. Due to recent injuries on the Panther bench, coach J.D. Almond brought in two junior varsity players to give the team depth. Kim Hutcheson and Jessica Lee helped to fill the bench. Lacking experience on the court, Rapp players pushed up the court only to hesitate and allow Central’s defense to get into position. Central fans made their presence known as they stomped their feet and yelled, “defense" throughout the final moments of the game, while the Rappahannock fans were much quieter. Coach Almond said, “We had to make some changes since player Noel Johns was injured. The team still hasn’t found a leader but we are still working hard. We played one good quarter but it’s a fourquarter game. We will get it done.” High scorers were Jessica Lee with seven points and Samantha Brown with six. JV Lady Panthers The JV Lady Panthers played a very competitive game but lost 34-22 to Central High School-Woodstock. Having given up two players to the varsity team, they too were under added stress and even had to pull a player from the Junior Panthers’ basketball team. Depth and experience were also a critical factor in this game. The game started off close but steals, turnovers and offensive rebounds gave Central the upper hand. Rappahannock's confidence appeared shaken when players would hesitate and give up open shots. Central had a tight defense and made it very difficult for Rappahannock to score. The Lady Panthers didn’t have many open looks on this night. One of most applauded plays of the night occurred when Amanda Smoot hit a big time three-pointer. Coach Stephanie Shaw said, "This is our second game in which we are missing two of our players. We could have beaten this team but mentally we were out of the game. I am still proud of the girls and they are still giving 110 percent no matter what the circumstances.” High scorers were Amanda Smoot with 10 points and Ella Miller with 8. The girls host Brentsville Thursday and travel to George Mason on Friday.

The Bison, who were the Shenandoah District champs last season, downed the Panthers 63-18. While there, they faced another Bull Run district team, Madison County in a heartbreaking 36-34 loss. Rapp also fell to the Indians from Northumberland High School 48-36. Although the Panthers did not win as a team, individual wrestling went head-to-head in competition. “We win more matches than we lose when we actually wrestle,” said Panther head coach Eric Spath. Forfeits in the line-up resulted in team losses for Rappahannock . 145-pounder Dos Allen continued his winning streak with two pins and one major decision on the day. Allen faced Gap’s Robert Night, pinning him in 1:15 and then went on to post a :51 pin using a headlock against Northumberland’s David Eder. Madison’s Jevar Blakey took Allen the distance, but Allen prevailed in the 14-6 major decision to increase his season record to 6-0. Also putting up W’s on his record was Johnathan Miller at 160 pounds for the Panthers. Miller was unbeaten for the day, pinning all three of his opponents.

Town & Villages Sperryville Business Alliance is working to promote businesses The Sperryville Business Alliance (SBA) has completed the first stage in promoting businesses in the greater Sperryville area with the publication of a beautiful new Sperryville brochure. It discussed future plans at a meeting held on Dec. 5 at the Glassworks Gallery. The group proposed several agenda items to be considered in the first six months of 2005 to support the local business community including adopting a Mission Statement, incorporating or otherwise officially structuring the SBA, developing a new, more expansive brochure, developing a wdb site, creating a calendar of events, planning fund-raising events /opportunities, exploring non-profit incorporation, providing opportunities for cooperative advertising and promotions, and researching possibilities for educational and entrepreneurial programs. General membership in the SBA is available to any interested business with a 987 telephone exchange. Associate membership will be offered to businesses outside of the 987 Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@iglide.net exchange that are considered immediate “neighbors” of Sperrywille.

Inspiring; Tfoaugfits by Randy Minter PROVIDING DIRECTION TO THE LIVING Regardless of religious affiliation, funerals everywhere share the common thread of being communal events that feature the life-affirming rituals of remembering the deceased and comforting surviving family and friends. These traditional practices help to counter the isolating emotion that comes with grieving. Few people are more experienced in guiding the grieving process and directing the rituals surrounding death than the funeral director, who can offer advice in all such matters. When the grief-stricken must confront death without the support of inherited faith or liturgy, they may turn to the funeral director for guidance during this most disruptive period in their lives. By affirming the transcendence of life, we allow grief to find expression. A funeral is a celebration of a life even as it is an acknowledgement of a loss. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we honor the life of the family member or loved one with respect and compassion. Sharing funeral services with loved ones helps everyone negotiate the loss with greater peace. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. Call 347-3431 .

Town & Villages Bagpipes are ‘a first’ for church’s Christinas service Forest Grove Church is planning a 1920s style Christmas service on Dec. 19. This service is held without electric lighting. The old original oil lamps are used in the lighting. Several different musicians and singing groups are scheduled. One of these individuals is going to perform using a Scottish bagpipe. I believe the bagpipes will be a “first” for Forest Grove Church. There will be a potluck dinner after the service. All are invited.

John Jenkins was well enough this week to visit the new Slindy’s indoor flea market in Culpeper. Raymond “Red” Hitt is recovering from his recent illness. Christmas years past With the approaching Christmas season, Dan and I thought it would be interesting to talk to some of our senior citizens concerning how their parents or grandparents handled gift-giving. These interviews give us an insight into those years from about 1890 to 1940. This is what we found. For the most part, there were little or no factory manufactured goods or toys used in gift-giving around the turn of the century. Children of this era could look forward to receiving an orange, some candy and occasionally a hand made toy made by a family member. Dan’s grandfather, the late C. A. Smith, told him that as a child they received some citrus fruit along with a few firecrackers and Roman candles with which to celebrate. Most individuals we interviewed remembered hearing that one of the most important pastimes was sharing meals with friends and family. A tradition of many was to take at least one drink of hard whiskey called “a Christmas toddy.” I am told that many did this and would not drink anymore until the next Christmas rolled around. As the century progressed into the 1930s it seems that middle-class children could expect to get just one present. One individual we questioned was a small child in the late 30s. She said it was unheard of to receive more than one toy. With the less unfortu nate, the one gift would not be a toy. A pair of shoes or some clothing would be presented instead. In recent times, it is not unusual -for children on Christmas morning to receive more presents which they c,ari open in a half hour of aggressive ripping and tearing. In my opinion many are building up a Christmas present immunity. Each season people need more and more presents to keep things “interesting.” I think we all need to remember the true, meaning of Christmas. Shop for Christmas gifts in Woodville It is that joyous season of the year when everyone is frantic about the right gift for that special friend or family member. Well, maybe you should come to Woodville. There really are two businesses in Woodville that may just be your answer. First there is “Mary’s Little Shop.” This is a great stop for just a “little something” like McCutcheon jams, jellies, etc. There are also knives, candles and whatnots. This is also the place to purchase your Christmas trees and wreaths. Mary’s trees are all fresh cut locally grown Norway spruces and white pines. The wreaths are also fresh and locally made of mixed greens. All the wreaths and Christmas trees are $20. l also made a discovery that took me back to my childhood. There is an old- fashion pot bellied stove. So, for those of you who have finished your purchasing and decorating, stop by and visit with Mary around the pot-bellied stove the way the people of Rappahannock did in the past. Then there is BlueRidge Mac, your complete Apple computer sales and service center for the region. You still have time to custom build and order i Macs and i Books in time for Christmas if your order is completed by noon on Dec. 20.

Grant From Page A1 2002. “The foundation was really impressed by the community involvement,” said Amy Silver of Headwaters, who prepared the grant. The bulk of the money that was awarded on Dec. 9 will be used to hire a part-time guidance counselor to work with Rappahannock County students who are college and/or vocational school bound. Although statewide only 53 percent of the 18-24 year olds who have a high school diploma attend college, Rappahannock County High School currently has 72 percent of its high school seniors planning to further their education. Presently, the job of college and career counseling falls to the guidance counselors who are already working extra hours at the high school. According to Koger Mello, principal at Rappahannock County High School, the two counselors at the school now are often working until 9 p.m. after putting in a full day at school. “RCHS guidance counselors Jason Gochenour and Dani Pond do a fine job, including providing information for students going to college,” said Rappahannock County school superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell. The new guidance counselor will be hired by Headwaters specifically for the position to work one-on-one with the students and their families. This means they cannot be pulled to do other jobs within the school and can focus on the “college access program.” National College Access Network While the program is not new within the United States, it is new to this area. Three other Virginia areas already have National College Access Network programs: Patrick County, near Bristol, Va., the City of Alexandria and another in the Tidewater region. In its goal to establish “college access programs” throughout the state, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation awarded $966,613 throughout the Commonwealth. Warren County and Fairfax were also recipients of a grant in the amount of $90,000. One of the perks with the Cooke foundation involvement is that it will be working closely with each program. It is unusual for a grant provider to provide training, but the foundation will actually be training the new counselor. Local need Shortly after the planning grant had been received, a local student who was graduating from RCHS was brought to the attention of Headwaters. “This student had everything ready,” said Paige Coombs, Headwaters director. All of a sudden the student found that she was over $2,000 short and she would not be able to go to college. Headwaters was able to quickly find resources in the area to hind the money needed, but according to Coombs, the real problem often lies in , those “last dollars” that are needed for college expenses. This situation confirmed to Coombs the need for college counseling where an adult will sit down and explain the application process as well as assisting with applications for financial aid. College costs are going up and need-based financial aid is going down. The gap is widening,” said Silver. The result is that high-achieving students from low-income families are missing opportunities to further their education. According to Mello, one of the major issues being faced at RCHS is the fact that many students are the first generation in a family to attend college. “A larger part of the responsibility is falling on the schools now,” he said. Importance of college education According to the Cooke foundation, “A college graduate typically earns $1 million more over a lifetime than someone who never advances beyond high school.” Paige Lysaght, a Rappahannock county senior who is pursuing a college education after graduation, has relied on the Internet and her parents mostly for help in college applications. “I have stopped by Mr. Gochenour’s office off and on, but he is so busy, it is hard to get in to see him,” she said. Lysaght said she would have used a counselor to specifically help her in her application process if it had been available. She added that many of her friends have talked about the confusion of the actual process. UVa interns Included in the “college access program” will be University of Virginia interns who will serve as student guides as they assist the college counselor. These are graduates who are pursuing their masters degree and will be taking one year off from college themselves to do an internship with the program. The Cooke foundation has designated 20 intern positions for this year, one of which will be assigned to Rappahannock County High School. “We are so enthusiastic about the results we will see from this program,” said Coombs. Also pleased about the program coming to the county is Chappell who said, “The School Board approved the application for this grant because the program has the potential to broaden opportunities for our students.” (Contact Jeanne Spath: jspath@timespapers.com) Drivers From Page A6 often called on to drive for field trips and then finishes up his route at 4:30 p.m. At times, he spends evenings driving the bus for athletic activities. ‘1 really like driving for soccer, wrestling and cross country,” said Keyser. One of the most interesting things for Keyser is that he drives the same route that he rode during his last years attending Rappahannock County High School. Jacobs has enjoyed the special activities as well, including taking pre-schoolers on field trips to the llama farm or long trips spent with the competitive cheerleading team. The most difficult time for Keyser is during the summer break. Although he drives summer school routes and for summer camps, he misses the children oh his regular route. “They tell me about things they enjoy, about their families. I really have a friendship with them,” he said. Safety concerns One of the biggest concerns for Beam is the winter weather in Rappahannock County. When bad weather is expected, Beam monitors it closely on the weather service. When snow falls overnight, he and school superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell are out by 5:15 a.m. checking the worst roads in the county, Gid Brown Hollow, Rock Mills, the Chester Gap area—if these are in too poor a condition to travel by car, they don’t want buses traveling them. “Really it is not as much buses getting stuck in the snow, it is more what will slide into the buses,” said Beam. Keyser agreed. “Tiger Valley, now that one is steep. I remember one time I started down that steep hill with ice everywhere and there was a car turned sideways in front of me,” he said. Keyser was able to cut his bus into a ditch and stop about 12 inches from the car, his first concern being the safety of the children on his bus. The school bus drivers in Rappahannock have many reasons to want to drive buses. The hours, the pay, the benefits, but the biggest reason seems to be the joy of being with the children.

From left preparing breakfast are Nancy Crawford, Pat Jenkins and Diane Freeman. Christmas comes early for children of needy families By Richard Lyres Special to the Rappahannock News Before dawn and with bright police lights flashing, a 16-car caravan turned into the parking lot of K-Mart in Front Royal on Saturday. One could easily imagine Santa arriving in his reindeer sleigh and hear the familiar refrain, “Here Comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus,” as Rappahannock County Sheriff Department deputies and state troopers escorted 42 joyous children Saturday morning on a shopping spree that has become a tradition in the county. Nine years ago, Capt. Jeff Brown, head of the D.A.R.E. program at the Rappahannock County High School, took on one of the most rewarding assignments of his career—organizing an annual “Shop with a Deputy” program of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department to provide children from needy families in the county the opportunity to shop for Christmas. He’s been doing it ever since. With undisguised enthusiasm, Capt. Brown’s eyes light up as he talks about a program that has become ingrained in his being. “It is not about me, please understand,” he insists. “It is all about the kids that we help . . . the joy that all of us at the Sheriff's Department and volunteers alike feel as we help these children from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds to have a merry Christmas, too. “Rappahannock is a very generous and giving community,” Capt. Brown continues, “and so many here-and even as far away as Illinois who have heard about the program, eagerly donate money, time and talent to make the annual ‘Shop with a Deputy program a rousing success.” Program began in 1995 Started in 1995 with only five children, the program has grown to 42 children who are given the opportunity and joy of shopping with a deputy for “what they want to buy for themselves.” In addition to those who took part in the shopping spree, the program now expects to help an additional 40 children with new resources and contributions. There is a rough guideline that suggests 70 percent of the children’s $100 gift certificate be used for clothes and another 30 percent for whatever pleases them, including gifts for their loved ones. In addition to the gifts chosen by the children for themselves, and gifts for their families, Capt. Brown initiated a “food box” for each family participating in the “Shop with a Deputy” program. And to help stretch their dollars as far as possible, K-Mart made extra discounts available for this program as well. Sheriff Larry Sherertz thanked the volunteers at K-Mart who raised funds of their own to provide “gift bags” of various fun things for the children: “This is the highlight of our year. We wouldn’t miss it for anything. And we are grateful to all the volunteers everywhere who made this possible.” Local businesses, churches, and individuals contributed to this program. Christmas contributions can still be made to the program in care of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, P.O. Box 47, Washington, VA 22747. K-MART: Capt.

Our first year of being bookstore owners My tippabiiMck Ittry Ink MAtV KM2AUTH MIT* And the best-sellers of 2004 By Nancy Ostinato Special to the Rappahannock News Today’s bookselling environment is highly competitive. Challenges arise from many sources- not only from other bookstores, but also from non-book outlets such as mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, supermarkets and the internet. The Old Sperryville Bookshop has faced all of these as well as challenges of a different sort including a lightning strike, a propane leak, a plague of flies, a charging deer, a cat roundup, and Birds! Birds! Birds! The first year The fun began on our very first day as the new owners of the bookstore. Anyone who has been in the store on a rainy day has heard the soothing sound of the raindrops as they hit the wonderful tin roof on ihe building. As we sat in the store enjoying the rain, the calmness was rudely interrupted by a crash of lightning that also played out on our tin roof. My husband looked ,up as a ball of lightning shot down through the center of the ceiling. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, except for our computer which was completely fried resulting in a total loss of our inventory list. All of the titles, ISBN numbers, and prices wiped out in a second. Propane leak A few weeks later, we almost lost more than our inventory list when we discovered that the propane fireplace was leaking. There were leaks on the outside and on the inside of the building. The man who came out to check it said that it was a miracle the whole place hadn’t blown up. The electric heat pump went in the very next week. ‘Living creatures’ Living creatures also made for some exciting days. When we returned in March from our winter break, we found the store filled with flies. There were live flies, dying flies, dead flies, by the hundreds.

Greg and I were working late, rearranging shelves. I opened the door to go outside, when cats ran past me and into the store. The chase was on as we attempted to get these wild kitties herded back outside before they could do much damage. The cats weren’t nearly as bad as the birds. It was as though we had stepped into a scene from Hitchcock’s film “The Birds.” There were starlings flying menacingly around in the store leaving their lovely calling cards all over the floor. One had gotten into the back where we stay on weekends and made a mess on the headboard of our bed. It was amazing that they missed all the books — except for one. There was a biography about Kruschev with his photo on the cover tnat got nit. tne Diras aim could not have been better as Kruschev got it right in the mouth. I’m not sure if the bird was trying to make some kind of commentary. I thought I had gotten all of our feathered friends out of the store until I reached under a table to clean and put my hand right on a dead bird. I’m sure my scream could have been heard by my children all the way back in Fairfax. Thank Heavens for Tom Sullivan, who came and removed the deceased for me. Despite these many challenges, despite the fact that customers seem to assume I have read every book ever written and know exactly what they want when they ask for “the book written by that guy that was on some television show last year,” and despite having to answer the burning question asked by tourists at least 20 times a day: “Did this used to be a church?” we have enjoyed 2004 very much. We have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people, speak with terrific local authors, and provide books of local interest to the communitv. 10 Top Bestsellers We would like to share with you the 10 books our customers enjoyed the most this year. Local authors and subjects dominated the 2004 list of bestselling books in Rappahannock County. Here, based on the number of copies sold, are the top 10, in order: 1. “My Rappahannock Story Book” by Mary Elizabeth Hite ($23.95) In 1950 Mary Elizabeth Hite decided she would write down the stories she knew about Rappahannock County and its people. In 2004 the owners of the Old Sperryville Bookshop decided to reprint this book. The result is a nostalgic look at the natural beauty, old homes, churches, and above all, the people of Rappahannock County. The book is illustrated by photographs- some made especially for the book, some found in treasured snapshot collections, and some loaned from priceless old albums. Readers who are attracted to Virginiana, who have ties to Rappahannock, or are just plain interested in people and their stories have reported that they enjoy this book. It also makes a wonderful introduction to newcomers to the county. One customer suggested that area realtors should pass out copies to folks who move to Rappahannock. 2. “Beyond the Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County” by James D. Russell ($13.95) This unique work of black history tells the true story of “Sis-tah Cah-line” Terry, who toiled as a slave on Rappahannock County plantations, saw the Civil War, bore the children of a white slave master, and lived to the age of 108. The story is told with humor and insight by her great-grandson who heard these stories firsthand from Caroline. Author and Sperryville resident, James Russell is a natural storyteller. In the book, Mr. Russell also looks back on growing up in Sperryville, attending a oneroom “colored” school during the Roaring 20s and the Great Depression. His memories include meeting First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and ' his near brush with death in World War II. 3. “Flint Hill” by John Browning ($30.00) Former Rappahannock County resident, John Browning, takes readers on a trip down memory lane in the form of an autobiography (actually a diary) that covers the golden years of 1940-1964, the first 24 years of his life, including the events occurring in his boyhood town of Flint Hill. Life in Flint Hill where the most exciting event of the year was the annual fireman’s carnival, was usually simple enough, but once John entered college and then the U.S. Army, he discovered that change was a daily challenge and almost nothing followed his rules. Armed with a diary, and a wry sense of humor, he kept a wistful eye on events that were occurring in his hometown- Flint Hill. The book details a lot of people who are still living in the county today. You will also enjoy it if sandlot baseball games, traveling circuses and carnivals, class trips, first loves, enlisting in the Army, and other passages of growing up hold some special meaning for you. 4. “The Age of Sacred Terror — Radical Islam’s War Against America” by Steven Simon and Daniel Benjamin ($15.95) From two of the world’s foremost experts on the new terrorism, this is the definitive book on the rise of AlQaeda and America’s efforts to combat the most dangerous terrorist group ever. Author Steven Simon, who is a resident of Woodville, made an appearance to discuss and sign his book at what turned out to be the most highly attended event of the year at the Old Sperryville Bookshop. Drawing on their years ot counterterrorism work at the National Security Council, the authors provide essential insights into the thinking of Usama bin Laden and his followers. They analyze why America was unable to defend itself against the revolutionary threat on September 11, why bin Laden’s creed is gaining ground in the Islamic world, and what the United States must do to stop the new terror. 5. “In the Shadow of Ragged Mountain — Historical Archaeology of Nicholson, Corbin, & Weakley Hollows” by Audrey Homing ($16.95) If you stand on the top of Ragged Mountain- today called Old Rag- you’ll look out over the hollows known as Nicholson, Corbin, and Weakley. For almost 200 years before the establishment of Shenandoah National Park in 1935, families lived in these hollows. This book tells their story. Author and archaeologist, Audrey Horning wanted to know the real story and spent nine years finding it by unearthing the materials they left behind, searching through archival records, and talking with their descendants. In compelling prose, highlighted with numerous photographs from the past, Homing brings these people to life again, challenging ToSg-held stereotypes. Homing establishes a new history, richer and more balanced. The story she tells is as real as the toy truck she unearthed, as the land deed in the courthouse, as the granddaughter remembering her years on the mountain. It is a story that has long been waiting to be told. 6. “Best Easy Day Hikes- Shenandoah National Park” A Falcon Guide by Bert and Jane Gildart ($7.95) This little guidebook includes concise descriptions and detailed maps for twentysix short and easy-to-follow trails that lead to some of the parks most scenic destinations. It leads readers to ideal spots for bird-watching, into open meadows, to waterfalls, and through some of the parks oldest and largest red spruce trees. With hikes varying from half-hour strolls to full-day adventures, there is some thing for everyone in this guidebook. 7. “The Cabin- Inspiration for the Classic American Getaway” by Dale Mulfinger and Susan E. Davis ($24.95) This book presents 37 inspirational cabins from all over the country; complete with beautiful photographs and floor plans. Based on design, shape, age, and material, the cabins are divided into four distinct styles: rustic, traditional, modem, and transformed. The book celebrates the appeal of this unique form of retreat, providing inspiration and practical ideas for realizing your own cabin dream. 8. “Time for EverythmgA Six-Year Adventure on the Appalachian Trail” by George Meek ($9.00) George Meek (trail name “Poet”) is a grandfather of 11 who tells his story of sectionhiking the whole Appalachian Trail. He gives concrete tips for planning what to take, where to stay, what to eat, even how to cope with bears. His poems and photographs complement the text. 9. ”Fandex Field Guide to Trees” ($9.95) This handy and easy to carry “fan” opens to provide a field guide that includes visual keys such as a die-cut leaf, bark pattern, flower, nut, or seed, and a photo of the full tree to help you identify trees found in both the forest and the backyard. There is also a written description of habitat and other facts that give a complete picture. The section about the cultural history of each tree is especially interesting. 10. “From Rappahannock County” by Eugene McCarthy ($12.95) This collection of Rappahannock stories, musings, and reminiscences continues to sell well, despite the fact that the book has been around a few years. Illustrated with photos of local country store, mills, and landscapes, the book is a good read written by the man the publisher describes as “the last American politician with more than an ounce of poetry in him.” All of these books, as well as our best-sellers in children’s books, fiction, nature, horses, cookbooks, Christian books, and Civil War are available at the Old Sperryville bookshop or they may be ordered via e-mail at oldsperryvillebookshop@iglide .net.

The afternoon was not going at all well. I was nearly frantic... “It's almost time for our guests! There is so much left to do before they arrive. Why, I still must wash the good china and put those tree. Wait, was that a knock... already??” Yes, there was a tiny tapping, as five-year-old Jimmy, my neighbor and star Sunday Scnool pupil, ran in, all smiles, and scrambled into my lap. Wifi excited hugs, he waved a homemade-crayoned card in front of me, with a precious scrawled “I LUV YU. MARY CRISMUS” at the bottom. That was the year I remembered what the joy of Christmas was all about. ornaments on the This holiday season, won't you choose to concentrate most of your focus on the honorea Guest?

0j mnkwvkm uvnn Wheelbase communications w e’ve patiently waited for more than a decade and it’s finally here. The new 6 Series is a first-class feast for the eyes and a refreshing neat for fans of those speeding Bavarian beauties with the propeller logo proudly attached to their hoods. Not that BMW has been sitting around doing nothing all this time. Quite the contrary. Over the past few years we’ve been treated to a proliferation of more new models — everything from sports cars and sport-utility vehicles to luxury sedans — than you can think of. Everything, of course, except some sweet looking high-end, high-performance two-door stunner to gush over. Sure, the ‘entry-level’ 3-Series includes a hot-looking coupe and convertible, but what if you wanted to crank it up a couple of notches? inere nave been only vague memories of the exotic 8 Series coupe that faded to black in 1997, or tne previous 6 Series that bowed out way back in 1989. Yes, it has been a long wait, but based on first impressions of the 2004 645Ci, BMW has totally redeemed itself. Visually, the new 6 Series more than does justice to the 6/8 branded coupes of old. It's also available in a gorgeous four-place convertible, a first for this series. The coupe version’s low-slung fastback roofline appears to have been influenced by the Ferrari 575 Maranello, while the rest of the body, especially the rounded front 1 fascia and none-too-subtle rear deck, takes a page from the the latest 5/7 Series sedans. It sounds like an odd combination, but all the pieces appear to work in harmony. In true BMW fashion, the bulging wheel openings are barely able to contain the car’s 18-inch multispoke wheels matched with 45series run-flat sneakers that elimi- ■ Mte the need to carry a spare. \ 2004 BMW 645i ♦Two-door, four-passenger luxury sport coupe/convertible. ★44-trter DOHC V8 makes 325 honepomr and 330 Ib.-fl of torque ♦Six-speed manual transmission, six-speed sequential manual (the driver doesn't push a clutch), or six-speed automatic ♦The return of the 6 Series is a longawaited treat and an important addition to BMWs assortment of driving machines. ♦The availability of three six-speed transmissions gives buyers plenty of choice to 'build' a 6451 that closely matches their driving styles. ♦BMW$ standard and extracost features serve to enhance the pleasure of driving the 6 Senes, not take away from it. ♦Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; head airbags (coupe); stability control; traction control; rollover protection (convertible). ♦MPG (city/hwy): 17/25 (MT) ♦Base price: $69,300 (coupe); $76,300 , (convertible) The interior brims with typical BMW attention to detail, including beautifully trimmed leather seats and, of course, every power-operated control you can think of. Also featured is the latest version of iDrive, BMW's single rotary control knob that works in tandem with a video screen to display and operate a variety of onboard systems, including stereo, climate control and navigation. Stability and traction control are part of the standard suspension package as is Active Roll Stabilization, which reduces body lean during cornering. The sole powerplant is a 4.4liter double-overhead-cam V8, an engine that sees duty in BMW’s 545i and 745i sedans. With 325 horsepower and 330 Ib.-ft. of torque under your right foot, the company claims the coupe will scoot to 60 m.p.h. in 5.5 seconds (a half-second longer for the heavier convertible). There might be one engine, but customers can pick from three different transmissions: a traditional six-speed manual; a six-speed pad dle-shifted sequential manual that works without a clutch pedal; or a six-speed automatic with a manualshift mode. Options are limited to a head-up display that projects speed and other vital information onto the windshield, wood interior trim (dark or light birch), premium surround-sound system and heated front seats and steering wheel. As with most BMWs, a art package is also available, en your wallet and upgraded seats magically appear as does exterior brightwonc, 19-inch wheels and an active steering system that adjusts the ratio according to vehicle speed. The return of the 6 Series brings with it a strong dose of high-end spice and sizzle that has been absent from BMW’s lineup for far too long. With the new coupe/convertible 6 Series, the excitement level is off the scale. The wait is over. All is foroven.
