Toler Rappahannock News Staff Writer The National Park Service recently added a new Rappahannock County historic district and a well-known local property to the National Register of Historic Places. According to a recent press release, the National Register is “the official fist of structures, sites, objects and districts that embody the historical foundations of the nation.” There are currently more than 60,000 properties fisted in the National Register, including more than 2,300 in Virginia. Laurel Mills Historic District Laurel Mills is located along the Thornton River in Rappahannock County on Route 618 (Laurel Mills Road), between Viewtown and Rock Mills. It was officially established as a village in 1847, although a sawmill and a gristmill were known to operate there beginning in the late 18th centuiy. Laurel Mills is important for its cohesive collection of mid-to-late-19thcentury architectural resources associated with the Rappahannock Woolen See SITES, Page A2 .

Day celebration By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 76th birthday was observed on Sunday at The Theatre in Little Washington, with the Rev. Donald Simpkins of Flint. Hill’s Macedonia Baptist. Church serving as master of ceremonies. After listening to one of the most moving renditions of our national anthem ever heard anywhere, Simpkins observed, “It was hard to keep my composure!” Indeed, there were few who were not deeply moved with joy and pride among those 120 who came to celebrate Following an invocation by the Rev. Jennings Hobson of Trinity Episcopal Church, soloist Laura Walker Nelson of Culpeper sang our national anthem a cappella to an See CELEBRATION, Page A2 “DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE”: Accompanied by pianist Alfreda Dean, members of the Macedonia Baptist Church “Mass Choir” sang at the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Sunday.

Council applies to DEQ for wastewater treatment facility By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer One thing is certain — the Tbwn of Washington is going to have a wastewater treatment facility. It was reported at the town council Meetings & Notices • On Monday, Jan. 24 the Town of Washington’s Planning Commission will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall on Gay Street. Of interest • On Monday, Jan. 24, the Culpeper Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on Clevenger’s Comer starting at 7 p.m. in the County Administration Office, North Main Street, in Culpeper • On Wednesday, Jan. 26 the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse on Gay Street.

According to Tom Faha, water permit manager of the Northern Virginia Regional Office of the DEQ, a draft permit will be ready for review by the end of March, with a public notice prepared by May 1. The earliest a permit could be issued for a wastewater treatment facility would be by June. River flow deemed adequate Faha advised the council that the nearby Rush River will be adequate for wastewater discharge. Concerns had been voiced that the stream is limited in its flow at times. “The DEQ has issued many permits for discharge similar to the Rush River,” said Faha, “It is common to issue permits when a stream is dry, the only flowing water coming from the actual discharge.” While the DEQ is working on a permit, WW & Associates of Lynchburg, Virginia will be working on the first stage of its proposal — waste collection. Herb White, engineer with WW & Associates, reported to council that there would be a series of collection pumps throughout the town, with wastewater moving from the houses to underground pipes in the streets. In the coming months, staff from WW & Associates will be seen around the town, studying lots to find the best placement of sewer pumps. “This will be at least a 12-month process,” said White. In a roll call, the council voted unanimously to accept WW & Associates’ proposal for wastewater collection and a conveyance system.

ARB admonished in decision-making process By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer While applications for property structural changes were being reviewed by the Tbwn of Washington Architectural Review Board last week, the question of the board’s true purpose loomed even greater than the applications themselves. “We are here to make decisions about the architectural appropriateness of the town, not to make decisions based on the personalities of the people applying, or to decide if the person applying is in violation of ordinances,” said Ed Barton, chairman of the Architectural Review Board, who admonished board numbers for taking a stand on issues other than decisions relating to the architectural design of property located in the town. Request to retain alteration During renovations of a house located on Main Street next to the Country Cafe which is owned by The Inn at Little Washington, a window in the structure was replaced with a door, in order to allow easier access during the renovation process. In their application, the owners stated that this was a temporary change, and that their original intent was to put the window back in place However, as time went on, the owners liked having the door there, and made application with the ARB to See ARB, Page A9 Newsmakers Care for the soul Dorothy Slaga and Rev.

Sites From Page A1 Mills. The compact village took advantage of local geographical features, including the Thornton River, which provided water power to run the mill. A large bluff on which the mill owner’s large dwelling was located overlooked the village below. With its turret and wide porches, this old mansion is now home to a young family. The old, red-frame general store continues to serve the neighborhood, offering groceries and other necessities as well as self-service fuel. The dominant forms and styles within the new historic district, often vernacular in interpretation, include Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate and Gothic Revival. In addition, a row of three workers’ houses dating to the mid-19th century features several vernacular forms, while the impressive mill ruins represent early 20thcentury industrial architecture. Laurel Mills appears to^tey much as it ilid when the mill closed in 1927, with its buildings lining a single road that follows the topography, curving sharply near the western edge of the district at the bluff. Sunnyside Significant as the location of the first commercial apple orchard in Rappahannock County, Sunnyside is comprised of 421 acres. Sunnyside Orchard Lane, a long gravel lane, leads from Harris Hollow Road past the farm complex to the main house, which is sited in one of the numerous hollows in Rappahannock County. The property was purchased by Henry Miller in 1780 and then deeded to his son, Henry, in 1785. This appears to be the date of construction for the main log dwelling on the property. Between 1780 and 1996, Sunnyside was continuously owned by members of the Miller family and its descendants, including the Wood fam ily, beginning with Charles Wood. The property has been continuously used as a commercial apple orchard since 1873, when Charles Burrell Wood planted the first orchard. The improvements are architecturally significant as a large collection of domestic and agricultural buildings, with the historic resources ranging in date from circa 1785 to 1940. Considered by the National Park Service as “significant architectural sites,” Laurel Mills and Sunnyside were already listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register, the state’s honorary designation for such historic properties. John Toler may be reached at jtoler@timespapers.com Celebration From Page A1 enthusiastic and cheering audience. The music rolled on with heart-felt “Amens” heard from all corners. Numerous old-fashion gospel songs moved the audience in rhythmic clapping and foot-tapping. The first musical selections were by the Shiloh Baptist Church of Woodville. Later, the Macedonia Baptist Church’s Mass Choir sang two additional songs, with a memorable rendition of “Down By The Riverside.” Student essay awards A special highlight of the afternoon was the presentation of awards by Nan Butler Roberts for the Student Essay Contest. These essays were written by Rappahannock County public school students on what inspired them in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. Sponsored by the Rappahannock National Bank, gift certificates and savings bonds were awarded to these students, by class: • Fourth to sixth grade: Grand prize to Amy Cooper and honorable mention to Carolyn Vickers, both from grade four. * Seventh to ninth grade: Grand prize to Paula Raney (9th grade at Rappahannock County High School); second place to Jacob Rosenbaum; and honorable mention to Noel Johns — all of the ninth grade). The guest speaker was Larry M. Rogers, the first African-American mayor of Harrisonburg and a business executive who helped establish Shenandoah Engineering Services Inc. Rogers heralded the advent of a new day, and urged people to “Share in the bread of hope, faith, and love.” While earlier speakers had poignantly noted the differences between “then” and “now,” and praised the progress of reaching Kings’ hopes for equality in our national life, Rogers put special emphasis on the positive by giving credit to those whites who shared Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dreams and vision for a better tomorrow. “Just look at this mountain hillbilly from Bluefield, Virginia — and a Democrat — who with bipartisan support from both Governor Warner and Senator Allen, became mayor of the fastest growing city in Virginia, with a largely white and Republican majority!,” said Rogers. “Things are improving and indeed have changed,” he concluded. “Just look over this audience if you doubt that Martin’s dream is not alive and well.” Council From Page A1 Capacity for existing town While many questions were raised by members of council and town attorney John Bennett, the issue causing the most debate was how zoning ordinances will affect the plans of the facility. “A 10-acre tract in town with only one house on it now could potentially become 10 one-acre lots, once the sewer pipes go in,” said Bennett. “Are we going to be prepared to handle that?” “The plan is being engineered for what is here now, the existing homes and businesses in the town,” said \Vhite. Currently, the plan would provide for approximately 200 homes and businesses in the Town of Washington, allowing for an 80,000 gallon monthly maximum for collection of waste. With zoning issues being of great concern, Gary Schwartz, town planning commission chairman, pointed 4,500 SQ FT.

Council member Claudia Mitchell requested a joint meeting of the town council and the planning commission, which Schwartz agreed will be announced. It is hoped that the public will attend and provide input. More bids needed Mayor Eugene Leggett reported that the council had received only one bid on the proposal to put a 200,000 gallon reservoir online, and members of the council agreed that one bid was not sufficient. Therefore, members of the council voted unanimously to accept a proposal to have Don Hurl of Environmental Systems Service, Ltd. (ESS), of Culpeper, secure at least three bids for a basic design which can be approved by the health department. The bids are expected to be in by late February. Regarding the reservoir, Ann Critzer of Washington requested in a public forum that the council look into the straightening of the road leading to the reservoir. Critzer advised that her husband Steve could have a valve installed in the pipes that forces air from the piping in an area where there is a bump in the road. However, it would be more cost-effective for the town to straighten the road, keeping within the 10-foot right of way and eliminating upkeep of the valve. Council members voted unanimously for the Critzers to negotiate in the name of the town to proceed with legal matters to accomplish this.

Gary Schwartz goes back to school for planning commission By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer When two-year Washington resident Gary Schwartz became involved with the town planning commission, the last thing he expected was to become chairman. However, Schwartz feels that in a small town, everyone must be a part of the solution. Schwartz quickly became an involved resident of the Town of Washington. In an attempt to learn more about his new post, Schwartz volunteered to enroll in the Virginia Certified Planning Program, a 10-week course offered by the Virginia Citizens Planning Association — and earning certification in the course. Back to school Once the town endorsed his participation, Schwartz headed to Richmond for his first two days of class. “The class provides a comprehensive overview of a planning commission, including community planning, the legal foundation of planning and zoning and the duties of a planning commissioner,” said Michael Chandler, director of education with the association. The following nine weeks, Schwartz had several texts to read, including Planning the Built Environment by Larz T. , Anderson. The book is technical in nature dealing with water systems and sewer planning. “The best part of the book is that it makes a planning commissioner aware of infrastructure planning,” said Chandler. Schwartz said that the course will be of great use to him as the town updates its Comprehensive Plan. “There is a big interdependency between the town council, the architectural review board, the planning commission and the citizens,” remarked Schwartz. As the town develops the updated Comprehensive Plan, Schwartz looks forward to getting input from the public. “The planning commission makes decisions based on the feelings of everyone,” Schwartz said, “we have direction on applications, advice on decisions and then make decisions independently as a consensus of citizens and town government.” Chandler began teaching the course at Virginia Tech 20 years ago, before the Virginia Citizens Planning Association picked up the program. “We have taught nearly 2,000 people across the state; helping government agencies develop tomorrow today,” said Chandler.

People Reaching for the hand at heart By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Many view illness and death as something that happens to the elderly, or to someone else. Others try not to think about bad things happening. However, when it hits close to home, people are forced to face the reality of how a loss or illness can affect lives. It’s at those times when thoughts become cloudy and blurred. For those questioning where to turn for support, Spiritual Care Support Ministries, Inc. (SCSM) of Warrenton is offering help to al1 surrounding areas. “Our motto is ‘Reaching for the hand, touching a heart,’” said the Rev. Elizabeth Danielsen, founder of SCSM. Danielsen’s ministry While living in New Jersey, Damelsen spent 14 years ministering as a hospital and hospice chaplain, serving those who were facing lifes’ most difficult challenges — illness and death. Danielsen moved to Warrenton five years ago with her husband Arvid, and continued her hospital ministry as chaplain at Culpeper Regional Hospital. Currently, Danielsen is the chaplain for the Hospice of the Rapidan — which serves Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Orange, and Fauquier counties — as well as the founder and president of SCSM. “I am privileged to be able to meet people in their most difficult moments of life,” said Danielsen, “As we journey together, we are all changed. There is nothing I would rather be doing.” Devoted to providing support, education and a biblical perspective to those who are ill, dying and bereaved, SCSM is committed to being a non-profit, non-denominational organization. “I have found in my years working in New Jersey and Virginia that people are not turning to the faith community, but to the secular community,” Danielsen said. “Spiritual Care Support Ministries wants to change that.” The center, located at 76 West Shirley Ave. in Warrenton, began serving the community in May, 2004, but the official opening did not happen until September of last year. “We are hoping people from all of the surrounding areas will use the center,” said Dorothy Slaga, public relations chairman for SCSM. While most of the focus for the center is on those who are sick or dying, a clergy breakfast is also offered to encourage pastors who deal with members of their congregations who are in need. Volunteers The center offers support groups for children, teens and adults who are experiencing grief and loss, as well as individual support by trained staff members. Volunteers make up the majority of the staff. One volunteer, Jenny Peltzer, has recently experienced loss in her life. Peltzer has benefited personally from the training she has received. “It is wonderful working here, and since having the grief training, I am more effective dealing with others,” Peltzer acknowledged. Danielsen stressed that volunteers are needed, especially those who know God is part of the healing process. Tb encourage those who are ill, dying or grieving, the center offers Bible studies and retreats. “We need people to volunteer to help at the center,” said Slaga. “There is something for everyone who wants to help.” Rappahannock News Photo Jeanne Soath ’SPIRITUAL CAREGIVERS: Dorothy Slaga (left) of Spiritual Care Support Ministries and the Rev. Elizabeth Danielsen offer guidance to those suffering from illness, death and bereavement. The ministry is located in Warrenton serving those in need in the surrounding areas. Training is available for anyone who is interested in supporting those who are going through difficult journeys. Danielsen is dedicated to this ministry. “Only eternity will reveal the impact of what this ministry will do.” she concluded. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers. com Mentoring makes a difference for communitys’ youth By Carol Lucking Special to the Rappahannock News January is National Mentoring Month, a time for communities across the country to celebrate the benefits received from mentoring relationships. A recent national survey showed that half of American adults had an interest in becoming a mentor; a trusted, supportive adult in a young person’s life. While all youth can benefit from having a relationship with a caring adult outside the family, statistics show that “at risk” youths’ lives are especially enhanced by having a mentor. Rooted in history Mentoring dates back to 700 B.C. The ancient Greeks developed mentoring because they understood that quality time with adults could positively shape the future of its youth, benefiting the whole community, as well. Tbday, in the United States and throughout the world, trained, caring adults volunteer to be matched with youth through local programs that are designed to meet the needs of its communities. Starfish Mentoring Program Starfish Mentoring Program, Rappahannock’s one-on-one mentoring organization, has been serving county youth since 1997. Starfish has grown to hold an important place in our community in helping youth develop to their fullest potential. Young people who have mentors enjoy improved family and peer relationships, show improved school performance and better attitudes about learning. Experts say self-esteem is greatly enhanced as mentors allow youth to feel important and that they are worth spending time with. They feel listened to and are introduced to new Volunteers needed to help Hospice of die Rapidan Hospice volunteers share a gift of time and talent. A special training class for new Hospice of the Rapidan volunteers is being held at Leed Episcopal Church located at 4332 Leeds Manor Road in Markham. The class will meet on Monday and Thursday afternoons at 1:30 p.m., beginning Thursday, January 27th. Anyone interested in volunteer activities with Hospice of the Rapidan, whether in direct patient or non-patient assistance, is encouraged to participate. The comprehensive training program helps people determine where their talents can best be put to use, as well as providing a soli4 background on the unique opportunities of being a hospice volunteer. See the Volunteer Services page at www.hotr.org for examples of volunteer services and activities. Call Ruth Pavlik, Volunteer Coordinator, at Hospice of the Rapidan for more information or to register for the class (540825-4840); or send an e-mail inquiry to rpavlik@nexet.net. ideas and activities. . Mentoring instills a sense of hope for the future. One local parent said, “I was hesitant at first to sign up my daughter with an adult I didn’t know well but I trusted Starfish to make a good choice and they did. After a short time, I saw how much fun she was having and now my other two daughters enjoy mentors, too. They look forward to it every week.” Financially supported by Headwaters since 2001, Starfish has served over 40 children in the county, with the majority of these relationships lasting for several years, well beyond the required one year commitment. Mentors meet regularly to share activities, hike, build things, read together, bake, go to museums and movies, fish, do homework, but mainly just be together. As trust grows, so the relationship is allowed to deepen. It is not intended to replace a parent or be therapeutic. Mentors around the country are told to just be themselves. This genuine relationship allows a young person to feel free to explore being who they are, explore their own interests and make plans for who they would like to become. Bush encourages more mentors In an effort to set youth on the path to success, President Bush has made a plea this year to engage 10,000 more volunteer mentors across the United States, promising an unprecedented amount in grants to encourage the development of mentoring programs in all states. National statistics validate the fact that being a mentor can make a difference. Surveys show that teens who have mentors are 46 percent less likely to begin using drugs, 53 percent less likely to skip school, 27 percent less likely to begin using alcohol, and 33 percent less likely to engage in school violence. Statistics bear out the truth that these rewarding relationships have benefits not only for the youth but for mentors, as well. Personal success stories Retired resident and Headwaters board member, Steve Carroll, reports that one benefit of being a Starfish mentor is “being able to act young again. Among other things, my mentee and I shoot our potato cannon and build pinewood derby cars for Cub Scouts together.” Carroll reports that his greatest feeling of pride and satisfaction came when his mentee made the honor roll for the first time in his life this last grading period. Beneficial results may not always be apparent immediately but, time and again, youth who are mentored report never forgetting the experience. Mentors become part of a youth’s history, carrying the memories of the unique rela tionship, the shared experiences, well into their adult lives. Cliff Miller can tell this story well. He has chosen to mentor for many years, not only through Starfish but when living in Richmond. Even though the first youth he mentored is now in his forties, they remain close. “We have made a difference in each others’ fives. He has a fairly of his own now and his girls call me Grandpa Cliff. I was best man in his wedding and present when each of his children were bom. He is ready whenever I need his support,” reported Miller. Become a mentor! Starfish currently has 29 trained mentors participating in the program. Mentor training opportunities exist each year as new applicants apply, with one scheduled in late January. Matches are supported and supervised by a volunteer executive committee with professional consultants always available. For the protection of youth and mentors, thorough screenings, interviews, and background checks are completed with references required. All school-aged youth who reside in Rappahannock are eligible to apply for a mentor. If AUCTION Friday, January 21, at 5:30 pm at the auction gallery, Rt. 211, Amissville, VA.

By the time you crest into Culpeper County there are more and more glaring headlights and once in Warrenton you are now officially in early morning rush hour. Transportation is the number one issue facing this year’s General Assembly and the Virginia Association of Counties is one agency that has long lobbied for the necessary funding to invest in the Commonwealth’s transportation infrastructure. The General Assembly hasn’t made serious attempts to address the state’s transportation needs since the late ‘80’s. Studies over the years have never failed to produce significant findings and warnings coupled always with the Commonwealth’s shortfalls in necessary revenue to help transportation woes. Action has been deferred repeatedly to the future once too often. Now, traffic congestion and ill maintained roads and bridges have caught up with us in dramatic fashion. Let’s take into consideration some key statistics provided by the Virginia Association of Counties: Since 1986, • The number of licensed vehicle drives in Virginia has increased by 34 percent. • The number of vehicle miles traveled has increased by 79 percent. • The number of registered vehicles in Virginia has increased by 54 percent. • Transit ridership has increased by 64 percent. • The purchasing power of Virginia’s 17.5 cent per gallon fuels tax has decreased by 40 percent. Maintenance costs are projected to increase at an average rate of 4 percent. This projected increase will leave less money to pay for new construction of roads and public transportation facilities. The longer our government officials wait to tackle the transportation ills that plague this state, and they aren’t just in Northern Virginia, the more difficult a burden it places on all localities. The Virginia Association of Counties has shown, and continues to show, its’ commitment to working with the General Assembly to look for solutions. This is the year to strike a checkmark next to “transportation” as being the number one, high priority issue to tackle.

Thanks again. Sara Carroll Viewtown Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Jan. 21, 1965 All dressed up and no place to go — that’s the situation which Miss Annie Miller Almond of Washington and Mrs. James E. Settle, Flint Hill, found themselves in last week. They were scheduled to embark Wednesday on a 10-day Caribbean cruise abroad the Moore-McCormick line’s S.S. Argentina. Sailing of the Argentina was canceled by the longshoreman’s dock strike. Although the vessel had already been stocked with supplies and there was the possibility that passengers might carry their own luggage aboard, a last minute meeting of the union prohibited anyone crossing the picket line, so departure was canceled indefinitely. Not to be completely outdone, Miss Almond and Mrs. Settle did have the opportunity to go aboard the Argentina for a tour of the ship and to meet the crew. They also toured a bit of New York and were dinner guests of Capt. and Mrs. C. G. Reid, alternate skipper of the vessel, before returning home. Capt. Reid is a former resident of Rappahannock. On Sunday, Jan. 17, the Rev. Charles F. Glaerizer of Bromfield Parish and the Rev. James Grimmer, with charges in Huntly, Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville exchanged pulpits. Mr. Glaenzer conducted services at the Washington and Sperryville • Methodist Churches and Mr. Grimmer preached the sermon at Trinity Episcopal church. Additional book shelves are being constructed to accommodate the goodly number of books having been acquired by the Rappahannock Library. Other construction is being done this week as well. The balcony floor is being finished to provide extra room for books and tentative plans call for an area for quiet reading and research. The work is being done by George W. Hawkins of Sperryville. The Skyline Ski Area was a buzz of activity this weekend as nearly 1,700 people visited. Miss Carolyn Gates Turner of Washington and Richmond and a group of friends from Richmond had a pleasant day on the slopes. Eugene Burke of Washington enjoyed time off from his work with the highway department to help out at the slopes. Vince Cary ran the food concession at the ski lodge, with the help of Mrs. Frederick Jenkins, Mrs. Rena Mae Pullen, and Mrs. Janie Pullen. 25 YEARS AGO Jan. 17, 1980 In an effort to control drug use in school, the Rappahannock school board will seek the help of canine narcotics sniffers to ferret out illegal substances i at the county high school. I As part of the long debated drug policy approved at last Tuesday’s meeting, the school board directed superintendent William Bloomer to contact the head 1 of the U.S. Custom Service training i center in Front Royal and request that narcotic detection dogs periodically check RCHS for drugs. The motion read by Robert Eastham emphasized that no prior notice of the random inspections will be given to school board members, administrators or faculty. RCHS principal Dennis / Wingfield is to warn students only that drug dogs will make inspection visits periodically throughout the term. Over 100 students and parents participating in the fourth annual Wakefield Ski Program enjoyed their first day on the slopes of Bryce Mountain Resort Monday. The six-week course will be held each Monday. It is an elective course to bolster Wakefield’s winter physical education program and is designed to lay the groundwork for a competitive ski team for the school. Students in groups of six receive one and a half hours of ski instruction from professionals and spend the rest of the day practicing learned skills. Attendance at scheduled lessons is mandatory to ensure that students learn fundamentals on how to ski safely- lyRappahannock elementary school faculty celebrated with wild abandon Saturday night after soundly defeating the seventh grade team in a fund raising volleyball game to benefit the annual Williamsburg trip. The teachers came decked out and ready to spike in all the colors of the rainbow—red tights, blue tights, lime green shorts, yellow tshirts, and red, white and blue sweat suits. The seventh graders never had a chance against the likes of Lyn “The Lip” Baines, Susan “Dead Eye” Henry, Becky “The Hawk” Hawkins, Mike “Monster” Connefee, Janet “Red Legs” DeRoo and the “Terrible Twin,s” Cathy and Donna Lowe, just to name a few of the teacher all-stars. 10 YEARS AGO Jan. 18, 1995 Bob Ryan, weatherman with WRC TV in Washington, D.C., arranged for the local school to be included among the 90 schools that are part of the 4-Winds network of weather stations. The station can call in on the school’s modem and download information directly. The weather station collects information on wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and rainfall. Students are already noticing the display. During last Wednesday’s icy weather, many came in and watched as the air pressure dropped — but they could see that the temperature was ris ng, so they knew they were unlikely to jet out of school early. .t was a busy weekend at Country Manor store in Sperryville; time to do he fashion photography for the sumner catalog.

George Allen brings senate office to county Allen says local presence provides opportunity for citizen input and assistance U.S. Senator George Allen (R-VA) announced recently that his regional representative for Western Virginia will hold local office hours on January 26 in Rappahannock County. Chaz Evans-Haywood will be in Washington at the Rappahannock County Library, 4 Library Road from noon to 1:30 p.m., to discuss issues facing the area with constituents and to help anyone having problems with a federal agency. “One of my top priorities as United States Senator is to bring my office to the people of Virginia, whether through my regular Listening Tours or by sending my regional representatives to conduct office'hours in communities across the Commonwealth,” said Allen. “If you’re having problems witji a federal agency or want to express your opinion on issues facing Virginia or the nation, I’d urge you to come down and talk to Chaz in Washington. Through these local office hours, we can bring some good Virginia common sense back to Washington, DC.” For more information, constituents may call Chaz Evaiis-Haywood at 540-4211394. Governor Warner launches long-term care Governor Mark R. Warner announced recently a public education campaign that encourages Virginians between the ages of 50 and 70 to plan now for the impact of aging. The campaign, called “Own Your Future,” was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USHHS) in cooperation with the National Governors Association, and the National Conference of State Legislatures. The “Own Your Future” initiative includes targeted direct mail, televised public service announcements, and distribution of a “tool kit” containing useful consumer information on long-term care issues. Virginia is the first of five states to partner with USHHS in championing long-term care planning, and similar efforts will be launched in coming days in Arkansas, Idaho, Nevada, and New Jersey. “The ‘Baby Boomer Bulge’ in population is quickly moving toward retirement age, and it is estimated that one-in-four Virginians will be over the age of 60 by the year 2030,” said Warner. “The fact is, the federal Medicare program will not help most older people pay for their long-term care needs, and not preparing for the financial, emotional, physical and mental aspects of aging can have a devastating impact on families.” The “Own Your Future” campaign features several elements: • In the coming days, more than 650,000 Virginians between the ages of 50 and 70 will receive a letter from Governor Warner alerting them to the availability of the free longterm care “tool kits,” which contain information about agencies, organizations and resources that can assist in planning a fulfilling life in retirement. • A public service announcement featuring Governor Warner will be aired in the Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Hampton Roads, Richmond and Roanoke/Lynchburg television markets promoting the program. USHHS, which requested that governors serve as spokesmen for the ad cam paigns, is paying $194,704 on the media buy in Virginia. * Individuals who call the toll-free number 1-866-PLANLTC will receive a long-term care “tool kit” listing resources available to them, including contact information for the Virginia Department for the Aging, their local Area Agencies on Aging, the State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Insurance, a Virginia LongTerm Care Guide, and other resources. Residents also will receive a follow-up reminder postcard sometime in February, urging them to order the “tool kit” if they have not already done so. • The Virginia Department of Aging will dispatch two Long-term Care Specialists to local Area Agencies on Aging to assist Virginians with financing questions and to provide other assistance related to long-term care. The positions are funded through a grant from the USHHS. “Planning in advance offers several advantages,” Governor Warner said. “It gives consumers greater independence and control over their care decisions. More importantly, it gives consumers the peace of mind that they will be able to pay for their long-term care needs without going broke, or without putting a huge and unexpected financial burden on a spouse or children or other family members.” In 2001, the Commonwealth included long-term care in its package of benefits for some 60,000 classified employees, who can also purchase additional insurance through the state employee health care program. In addition, approximately 47.000 Virginians claimed a state income tax deduction in 2003 to help offset the cost of long-term care insurance premiums, up from approximately 24.000 taxpayers in tax year 2001, the first year the deduction was available. “The government has an obligation to help our most vulnerable citizens, but for the rest of us, we have an obligation to plan for a safe and secure future,” said Eldon James, executive director of the Virginia Association of the Area Agencies on Aging. Delegate Louderback reintroduces legislation to create pilot program for privatization of liquor sales Bill would require Virginia ABC Board to franchise to private owners when opening new stores The General Assembly went into session January 12. Rappahannock’s delegate, Allen L. Louderback (R-Page) has reintroduced his legislation to create a pilot program for privatizing liquor sales in Virginia. If enacted, the legislation, House Bill 1498, would require Virginia’s Alcoholic Beverage Commission to issue franchises to private owners as a requirement for opening new stores. “First and foremost, there are some of us in the General Assembly, and thousands across the Commonwealth, who believe it is not a proper function of state government to be in the retail business generally, and particularly promoting and selling liquor to consumers,” commented Louderback. “On the one hand, the General Assembly regularly passes legislation to lower the allowable alcohol levels of Virginia drivers and to enhance penalties for driving under the influence, while it is the Commonwealth itself which puts much of the problem-causing alcohol in the hands of the offenders.” Under HB 1498, the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control would maintain responsibility for the distribution of alcohol as well as the enforcement of alcohol-related laws and regulations. The Department would also establish strict franchise standards to be followed by those awarded a new store franchise and maintain' rigid control of the number of franchises issued. “The vast majority of Virginians are strong supporters of the American free enterprise system, which has built the largest and most creative economy the world has ever known,” noted Louderback. “My modest bill will allow for a comparison of the efficiency, overhead costs, and ultimate profits to the Commonwealth between the free enterprise franchisees and the existing state retail monopoly. In no way will this bill lead to uncontrolled liquor store growth, nor will it loosen the grip of distribution and enforcement the ABC Board now controls. HB 1498 is a simple, common sense approach to determine if the free market system can do a better job than a state retail monopoly. The private sector currently handles beer and wine sales and the ABC Board is responsible for enforcement. Why not the same structure for spirits?” Louderback is beginning his sixth year representing all of Page, Rappahannock, and Shenandoah Counties, as well Students stumped by German words By Ruth Purnell Special to the Rappahannock News Sixteen teams from area high schools attended the 24th annual “Pop Quiz” show Sunday Jan. 16, which aired on PBS. Four students from Rappahannock County High School competed in a match against Parry McCluer High School of Buena Vista, which they ultimately lost 200-175. Seniors Anna Kreyling and Morgan Blubaugh, junior Tbm Gillis, and sophomore Clay Vickers made up the Rappahannock team, with David Naser as their coach. ‘Top Quiz” consists of three rounds, with each round com prised of several categories of questions. Host Bob Wright described the quiz as a format, “where teams of local high school students match wits in lightningfast competition.” The first round consisted of See QUIZ, Page A6 Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

The FAFSA Form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) By Miranda Hope and Jason Gochenour Here’s the good news: “Students received over $122 billion in financial aid for undergraduate and graduate study in 2003-04” (College Board, Trends in Student Aid, 2004). Here’s the bad news: Filling out forms is no fun; this is just the beginning of finding the money to pay for college. Here’s the drill: It’s free. It’s the first step in getting many kinds of aid, so even if you think you won’t qualify for federal aid, you still may want to send it in. (The rate for unsubsidized loans - and anyone can get these - is usually better than most banks.) You can fill the FAFSA out electronically (takes 1 week to process) or on paper (4 weeks.) The Department of Education will check your eligibility, calculate your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC), provide you with a Student Aid Report (SAR), and send that report to the schools (up to 6) that you select. Ten tips on the FAFSA form and Federal Student Aid: 1. Before you file online you will need a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Go online to: www.fafsa.ed.gov to get your PIN. 2. Parents, get your income taxes done early. (If parents refuse to provide information, the student cannot apply for any aid.) 3. For FAFSA on the Web, you can go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. You can get a paper FAFSA from your: • High school guidance office, • RCAP office across from the auditorium • College financial aid office, • Local public library, or • The Federal Student Aid Information Center by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-4333243).

Men aged 18-25 must register for selective service. Go to the • Selective Service website, www.sss.gov, the guidance office, or call 847-6886888. If you don’t, you are not eligible for aid. 8. Start a Financial Aid folder ' and make copies of everything that you send and receive. 9. lb keep your financial aid, you need to1 keep your grades up in college. Don’t overload your schedule the first semester, talk to your professors if you are having trouble and get tutoring if you need it. 10. The form is not as scary as it looks.

Sperryville Business Alliance (SBA) gives local support The Sperryville Business Alliance (SBA) held a general membership meeting on January 5, and a Core Council meeting on January 12. The group focused on approving a mission statement, releasing the results of the election to name members of the Core Council, future plans to move forward, and the development of committees to work on a new brochure and a re-working of the Sperryville.net Web site hosted by Chris Salmon at Third Level. The approved mission statement for the group is as follows: “The Sperryville Business Alliance (SBA) is a communitybased collaborative organization Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@iglide.net established to support businesses in the greater Sperryville area. Through educational, entrepreneurial, and technological development, SBA focuses on providing opportunities to our community and its businesses while preserving the integrity of our rural environment.” The newly formed Core - Council was set in place with elected members Eric Kvames, Maggie Rogers, Jim Offutt, Kim Bealle, Elizabeth Lee, and John Hallberg. A seventh member for the Core Council will be solicited. Committee chairs were also selected at the meeting to focus on brochure development, Web site development, calendar of events, advertising and promotions, and community development through education. The position of chair for fund raising and events has not yet been filled. Brochures to be updated With several Sperryville businesses presently changing hands and the arrival of new businesses expected in the next few months, the SBA decided to put out new brochures every six months with up-to-date information. Once the new businesses have settled in, the group plans to go to a yearly reworking of the brochure. They also discussed moving to a booklet form for the brochure with additional space to be used for paid advertising for those businesses that want greater exposure. While there has been a recent decrease in tourist traffic due to a substantial drop in Shenandoah National Park attendance and higher gas prices, the group hopes that promotional efforts in the form of the new brochure and expanded Web site will help draw more people into the Sperryville area. “With a population base as small as we have here, tourism is important to the survival of small business in Rappahannock County,” said Core Council member Eric Kvames. Future activities Other items discussed at the meeting included new Sperryville signage and a kiosk, as well as street beautification, including flowers and maintenance of landscaping. A possible River Clean-up Day was also suggested. The SBAis open for input on these and any other items, comments, and ideas at the Sperryville Business Alliance Online Forum. The forum also includes minutes and reports from meetings. The address is www.oldway.net/ sbaforum/ The date of the next general meeting, planned to be held quarterly, has not yet been announced. In a related story on promoting tourism, congratulations to both Sharp Rock and Smokehouse, which were included in a very nice article entitled, “Winter Wineries” under Escapes in the Style section of the January 12 issue of the Washington Post.

Headwaters taps Miranda Hope as college access adviser Bv Amy Silver Special to the Rappahannock News Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, is pleased to announce that Miranda Hope has been hired for the position of College Access Advisor for the recentlylaunched Rappahannock College Access Program. Hope, who has lived in Rappahannock County off and on for the last ten years, recently returned to the county from Maine, where her husband Andrew Smith attended The Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design for the past two years. Hope formerly taught chorus and drama at Rappahannock High School, and English and guitar at Hearthstone School in Sperryville. She was listed in Who’s Who Among American Teachers as a result of Rappahannock students voting her “the teacher who made a difference in their lives.” While in Maine, Hope worked as a grief counselor at The Center for Grieving Children. She was also founding director of the Young Actors Institute and artist in Residence at Old Orchard Beach High MARKET LEADERS Since 2002, we have handled 25% of all real estate sold in the county, more than twice as much as any otherfirm.

Hope graduated cum laude from Stanford University and pursued graduate studies at Columbia University. “Headwaters is thrilled to have Miranda on board and to be a part of this. phenomenal new program at the high school,” said Headwaters executive director Paige Coombs. “As many people know, college and financial aid applications can be very intimidating. Not knowing how to negotiate the many steps involved in the process can prevent a student from attending college. “Miranda will be there to work in partnership with the guidance department, providing students with that necessary knowledge and helping their families with this important, life-changing process.” Mary Anne Biggs, former assistant superintendent of Rappahannock County Public Schools and current chair' of Headwaters, added, “With a number of highly qualified applicants, this was an extremely difficult decision to make. Miranda connects with kids in a way that I have seen only a few times in my career.” “Advising students who are at turning points in their lives is an awesome responsibility,” said Roger Mello, principal of Rappahannock high school. “Miranda Hope is the type of person who can meet that challenge with compassion and wisdom.” New partnerhip The Rappahannock College Access Program (RCAP) is a new partnership between Headwaters and the Rappahannock County Public Schools. As the RCAP advisor, Hope will work one-on-one with students and their families to help them navigate the process of selecting, applying to, and securing financial aid for attendance at a college or trade school. “This county has amazing students, parents, and educators,” said Hope when asked about the new position. “It is an honor and a pleasure to be able to serve again in this community that I love.” Hope will work closely with the high school’s guidance department to provide these and other services to students and their families. College tuition and fees are on the rise, while financial aid for needy students wanes, according to a recent study by the Center for Community College Policy. At the same time, demand for a highly-educated workforce is projected to grow. RCAP is one of several new pilot programs created in Virginia with support from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to help address this new reality. RCAP will provide services to all students, with priority to lowincome and “first generation” students (those who would be the first in their families to attend higher education). In addition to setting up regular and by-appointment hours for advising students and their families, Hope will be able to use grant funds to establish a College Access Resource Center at Rappahannock High School; the Resource Center will also be available for use by the Guidance Counselors. RCAP will also raise scholarship funds to help close the gap between need and available financial aid for qualified students. elementary school students. Based on evidence such as test scores, dual enrollment, and successful participation in Advanced Placement courses, Rappahannock County students are achieving at increasingly higher levels and graduating better prepared for higher education. The new RCAP program will help to ensure that no Rappahannock student who works hard and achieves will be denied access to higher education due to lack of financial resources. “My goal is to help students and parents navigate the system and to ease what fears I can,” said Hope. “What to do after Rappahannock High School?’ is a huge question and the way students answer it will change the course of their fives. I hope to help each student and each family make choices that are right for them and their futures.” Amy Silver is a contributing writer and the Coordinator of Grants and Partnerships for Headwaters. Quiz From Page A5 three categories of questions. The first category was language. Knowing German was key to answering these questions. Parry McCluer. clearly had the upper hand answering seven of the 10 questions correctly. The second category was History of the 17th Century. Rappahannock did well, outscoring Parry McCluer 50-40. Rappahannock dominated in the third category —Algebra. Thanks to the help of Anna Kreyling, the Rappahannock team was able to put 60 points on the board, while Parry McCluer trailed behind putting up only 20. By the end of round one the score was Parry McCluer, 135; Rappahannock, 115. Toss-up questions The second round was a team category game.

RCHSJV girls’ basketball team is hot See More Sports, Page A8 By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer The weather may not be hot right now, but the Rappahannock High School JV girls’ basketball team is heating up the courts at home, posting a win against Luray last week 51-16, and also against Strasburg, 37-33. “We played awesome and were able to break Luray down with our defense,” said Rappahannock Coach Stephanie Shaw. The Lady Panthers managed to hold the Bulldogs scoreless the entire first half, despite having only six players. High scorers for the game were Ella Miller with 17 and Amanda Smoot with 10. Later in the week, the JV Lady Panthers applied fullcourt pressure, giving the Strasburg Rams a difficult time getting the ball down court, for a 37y2D33 win. “We have been working on our defense, which is key,” said Shaw. Good motion and inside shots gave Rappahannock the lead throughout the contest. In the final two minutes of play, Strasburg hit three fireethrows, one field goal and a 3pointer to narrow the gap. However, it was not enough, with the Panthers rtiaintaining their lead up to the final buzzer. “We knew coming into tonight that Strasburg is always tough,” said Shaw, “They (Strasburg) just had two players pulled up to varsity, and that threw them mentally. We wanted to capitalize on that from the beginning.” The team’s goal was to make 60 percent of their free throws. Rappahannock exceeded that goal at 64 percent, making 9:14 baskets. High scorers were Kim Hutcheson with 18, and Miller with nine. RCHS Girls’ Varsity The Rappahannock girls’ varsity basketball team started off well against the Rams, but were unable to keep the momentum going, falling to Strasburg 64-32. “We played a real good first quarter,” said Rappahannock Coach J.D. Almond. Rappahannock played well — good passing, rebounding and team communication were keys to the home team keeping up with the Rams. A 3-pointer as the clock ran out at the end of the first quarter, extended Strasburg’s lead, 13-9. The home teams’ game deteriorated in the second quarter. “We lost our focus,” said Almond. The Rams hit the second quarter opening points, followed by another three-pointer to up the score to 18 for Strasburg. Taking outside shots, Strasburg was able to put 26 on the board by the end of the Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker PINNING COMBINATION: RCHS’ Isaac Raney cradles George Mason’s Ray Packe for the 1:12 pin. RCHS grapplers fall to state-ranked Strasburg By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School wrestling had its hands full when thf' faced the state-ranked Strasburg Rams last week, falling 47-26. “I am really proud of these guys,” said Panther coach Eric Spath. “They held their own against a really good team.” Rappahannock’s Isaac Raney pinned the Rams Robbie Packer in 1:12 to put six on the board for the Panthers in the 152-pound division, followed by a 20-18 minor decision by 171pounder RCHS’ Justin Robinson against Brian Streicek. Taking the match near completion, 215-pounder E.J. Estes pinned Shane Walker in 4:43 with a headlock, leaving the remainder of the Panther points earned by forfeits by the Rams. While not putting points on the board for Rappahannock, a head-tohead match-up took place against two state-ranked grapplers, Rappahannock’s Dos Allen and Strasburg’s Jeff Musterman in the 145-pound division. Currently Allen is ranked sixth, while Musterman is ranked first in the state. Allen survived two near-falls early in the match, taking him into the third period against Musterman. Musterman chose bottom position to start, getting the 2point reversal which set the tone for the period. Reversal for Allen, reversal for Musterman, reversal for Allen and then an escape for Musterman ended the match, 13-5. The loss is the first for Allen this season, his record 18-1 with 11 pins. Also facing a first-ranked grappler for Strasburg was Rappahannock’s Tim Robinson. Robinson, a firstyear freshman faced senior Brandon Holbert. Holbert has been a stateplacer for the past three years, taking first in the state in A division last year. Robinson escaped his way into the second period where he was pinned in 2:07 by the Ram’s Holbert. “We are gearing up for districts, regionals and states,” said Spath, “These guys have faced number one and number two in the state in the past two weeks.” The Panthers are on the road again Saturday, traveling to Waynesboro to compete in the Daily News Leader Invitational. first half while Rappahannock trailed behind with eight. Fans could be heard yelling for the girls to “Shoot the ball,” begging the Lady Panthers to take open outside shots. “At least we are having good quarters now, as opposed to in the past when we were only having good two-minute runs,” Almond said, “The girls are working very hard.” High scorers for the night were Courtney Hutcheson with 13 and Noel Johns with 10. The Lady_ Panthers fell to the Luray Bulldogs, 47-23 earlier in the week. By the end of the first half, Rappahannock was down 2710. In the second and third quarters Luray went on a 28-6 run. “It was obviously our downfall,” said Almond. Johns was high scorer with 15 points, and Samantha Brown and Hutcheson were top rebounders with eight each. The Panthers host George Mason High School on Friday.

The National Geographic Bee consists of three levels of competition: school, state, and national, and is open to students in grades four through eight who are under the age of 15. Each individual school winner is in turn entitled to take a written, multiple-choice Qualifying Ttest, with the highest scorers competing at the state level, and the state winners going on to compete at the national competition. This is the second year that WCDS has participated in this event. The National Geographic Society is the organization that provides the questions and answers for the Bee, which is designed to test students’ knowledge on a broad range of geographic topics. Questions cover such material as physical regions, cultures, populations, cultural characteristics, topography, religions, economic characteristics, and map details of different countries. The participants in Wakefield’s Bee were the two top students in grades four Patrick Brown through eight who had competed in their individual class competitions. The class winners were: 4th grade: Daniel Chadduck and Rachel DuMez; 5th grade: Will Mullany and Ryan Ochoa; 6th grade: Patrick Brown and John Holsinger; 7th grade: Vincent Paul and Abigael Whitaker, 8th grade: Jim Hennessy and Andrew Schaus. Each of these ten students competed in Wakefield’s competition, which consisted of seven preliminary rounds and a championship round. Students were asked one question in each round, and allowed 15 seconds in which to answer his or her question. In this final round, students were eliminated after answering two questions incorrectly. Excitement mounted as sub sequent rounds went by, and students begem to be eliminated one by one. Finally, it came down to the cheimpionship round between Patrick Brown of Flint Hill and Abby Whitaker of Front Royal. The championship round started with three questions, each read eiloud twice by moderator Lori Perry, the 5th and 6th grade geography teacher. The competitors each wrote their answers down on paper, and at the conclusion of this phase of the round, both students had the same scores, so the competition then shifted to “tie-breaker” questions. After four additional questions had been asked, Patrick Brown was declared the champion of the 2005 Wakefield Country Day School National Geography Bee, with both students receiving a warm round of applause. Moderator Perry noted that all of the students really seemed to enjoy the exercise, and that the competition had spurred “interest in a subject that is becoming increasingly important, in this 21st. century world of instant communication and shrinking borders.” Head of school Kathleen Grove added, “anything we can do to foster students’ curiosity about other nations is something we definitely want to encourage here at Wakefield Country Day School. Hopefully a greater sense of international understanding and cooperation will only increase by such exercises.” Rappahannock junior panther boys’ basketball post successful season By Joy Rollins Special to the Rappahannock News The junior Panther boys’ basketball team is perhaps the best-kept secret in Rappahannock County.

The t?am entered the season with a coach who is new to basketball. With one game left in the season, the team stands proud of its 4-7 recoi^l. Although he had never coached basketball before, Rich Hogan wanted the players to have a chance to play basketball so he agreed to be the coach. Hogan has encouraged physical conditioning, playing hard and fast, with their head in the game. As the season has progressed, both coach and players have learned together, combining past knowledge with good basic skills. As for the key to the team’s success, Hogan said, “Team work, the boys work together and pass the ball. Thpy don’t worry about who is scoring the points.” The Panthers posted a win last week against Luray, high scorers for the team Daniel Rollins, Dean Hogan, Gavin Forrest and Patrick Hanberry each scored 10 points.

William E. Pullen Chester Gap resident William Edward “Billy” Pullen, 65, of Chester Gap died Jan. Mr. Pullen was bom Aug. 29, 1939, in Rappahannock County, son of the late Dudley Quamtance and Julia Virginia Dulin Pullen. He worked for Sorensen Construction Company. Mr. Pullen is survived by one brother Charles Pullen of Chester Gap; eight sisters, Grade Himes and her husband Butch, Barbara Morris and her husband Ronald, and Sandra Pullen, Eleanor Ryan, Elsie Wines and her husband Jerry, Sue Taylor and her husband Ronald; and Ann Williams and Ruby Reid and her husband Stanley of Culpeper; and a special friend Bonnie Shipe of Front Royal. A funeral service was held Jan. 13 at Maddox Funeral Home in Front Royal with Rev. Malcolm Cadd officiating. Interment followed in Williams Family Cemetery in Chester Gap. Police Brief Virginia State Police are pursuing warrants against three 13-year old males — two from Fauquier County and one from Culpeper County — for shooting into an occupied vehicle around 9 a.m. Sunday, just outside Amissville. A 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was westbound at the junction of State routes 613 and 211 when the Amissville couple in the vehicle saw someone wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt standing in the woods line, pointing a long-barrelled weapon in their direction. A shot was fired, shattering the passenger window. State Police Trooper Bill Lyle of Culpeper County responded to the call, quickly requesting back-up units hum Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department, the Culpeper K-9 unit and State Police helicopter to secure the area. Following a house-to-house search in the area, the three youths were located and taken into custody. A Daisy model BB gun believed to be used in the incident was collected as evidence. While there were no injuries reported, damage to the vehicle is estimated at $500. ARB From Page A1 retain the change. The request was heard last month and tabled because board member, Charles Kevis, decided to abstain from voting. Last week, Kevis voiced his point again that he did not like the way the application was made by the owners and could not approve the application. Finally, after much discussion and after Patrick O’Connell — one of the owners of The Inn who is also an ARB member — recused himself, a roll call vote was taken resulting in a 2-2 tie, and the application was denied. 2-2 becomes 2-1 Barton asked the two members who had voted against the request to explain their reasons, and once again Kevis, said he could not approve the change made, since the application was made after the renovation, “I am abstaining my vote on principle,” said Kevis. Barton asked Kevis if he intended to abstain from the vote or to vote nay, to which Kevis said again, “I am abstaining from voting.” “Mr. Kevis is abstaining. We now have a 2-1 vote. Application approved,” said Barton. Also present in the meeting was John McCarthy, county Impiring Tficugfite by Randy | Minter I THE CYCLE OF<JRIEF During the 1960s, Dr. Elizabeth Kiibler-Ross, a Swiss psychiatrist, performed landmark research that identified the “grief cycle.” Upon learning of their imminent demise, each of her subjects reacted with shock. The universal first reaction upon hearing the news was, “No”. The second stage, which quickly followed, was denial - “This can’t be happening to me.” The third stage was anger, which was usually directed at God, nature, or luck. This needed to be understood by the family because the anger usually became directed at them at some point. The fourth stage was bargaining in which patients typically hoped that God would spare them in exchange for promised behavior. Next came grieving (the longestlasting stage), followed, finally, by acceptance. Grief evokes an odd set of reactions in us all - all the more so because we cannot predict how we will feel on any given day following a loss. At the Moser Funeral Home, we know what helps is to have others take care of the details and support you in your decision-making so your burden is lessened, and we’re good at that.

"Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and 1 w ill measure w ith mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people..." ~ Sir William Gladstone administrator, who attended at the request of Barton. McCarthy advised the board that provisions have been made in the Tbwn ordinance for the Tbwn to sue an individual if it is found that an applicant has made a civil violation. Therefore, denial of an application made to the ARB would only be in the event that the change does not adhere with the architecture of the town.

• Upcoming Events/B3 * Classifieds/B4-B8 January 20, 2005 Building a world of ifra. By George Rowand Rappahannock NeWB Staff Writer The glass came out in a great, hot glob that carried the color of the heat from the 2,000-degree furnace. Glassblower Eric Kvames twirled it on the end of his pipe, like it was a wad of cotton candy at the fair. He explained, “This is called ‘the first gather.” I’m going to put a tiny bubble (of air) in it and then get some more.” Kvames handled the pipe with the skills developed after 31 years of doing the art, blowing a small bubble into the glob of glass and then heading to the furnace — one of three that were fired up and running at the time — to get another bit of glass to keep the project moving forward. “This cools very quickly. This is already solid,” Kvames said, hitting the glass on his pipe with a piece of - metal. He hung the pipe witn tne glass upright \ Tm going to make a plate, 'A and I have to open this up," h e S explained. Then he got another gather o f glass and started applying the color. Tm going to swirl this color some, to give it some artistic flair,” he said. “I try to capture the flexibility of glass, so that when it freezes, people can still see that it was once a fluid.” [Ed. note: Kvames was referring to the idea that glass—like some other substances — is a liquid in its natural state, but becomes solid when the temperature is reduced below its “freezing” point.] The color applied, Kvaraes rolled the hot blob on a metal surface, to smooth it out. “It takes 25 years to become a master glass- ^ blower,” Kvames said. / traditional “That’s the standard.” After adding green and then white colors,. Kvames fired the gather again. Then he added the blue color, all the while working without gloves and with only goggles to protect his eyes. “The temperature near the furnace can get to 150 degrees,” he stated. “It’s easy to get dehydrated working in here. I have to drink an eight-ounce glass of water for eveiy piece I create.” After adding a fined gather of molten glass, Kvarnes continued explaining the process. “The inner core is really cold and the outer core is really hot... they don’t know they’re the same piece of glass yet. I lose about one third of my pieces ... you never know. And the ones that die, they’re always the gorgeous ones.” Now the pace of production quickened. “It goes very slow in the beginning and very fast at the finish. It’s hard to imagine that it’s going to be a plate right now, isn’t it?” Kvames said about the blob that looked more like a dull red balloon being blown up rather than a flat plate. He attached a small piece of molten glass at the opposite side of the blow rod and then cracked the rod off from the piece. Then he fired it again. “The thinner it gets, the faster you _ have to go,” he explained. “It loses its heat veiy quickly.” lne glass now had a diameter of about 1 foot. Kvames pulled it out of the furnace and started opening it up with a piece of wood from a tree on the gallery property. “Now we’re just about ready to spin it open, and it will take whatever shane it’s S / going to take,” he said, spinfc»* ning the rod quickly as the glass opened up from something that resembled a round vase to some•* thing that was as flat as it was x supposed to be. “And there you go,” he said, successfully breaking off the piece from the rod. “Now it goes into the annealing oven, where it will cook overnight and gradually cool.” Two decades of work Kvames works out of the galleiy that he established almost 20 years ago, after buying the piece of property in Sperryville from Pete Estes, now chairman of the Board of Supervisors in Rappahannock County. In addition to the glass works Kvames he sells, other works of art are available. “This center comprises three businesses,” Kvames explained. “First, there’s the Oldway Art Center, where we have local artists, musicians even a massage therapist, and where we have two music studios. “Then there’s the Glassworks Gallery, where we sell the pieces we make. And there’s the glass-blowing business.” Kvaroes enjoys teaching glassblowing classes at the center. “People can come in with no experience at all and learn to blow glass,” he said. “It’s been very popular. We have students from Warrenton, Culpeper, even Washington D.C. “People like to learn something new, and this brings them a lot of satisfaction. A lot of people can’t get satisfaction out of their day-to-day jobs, and they want to do something exciting on Eric Kvarnes creates luminous masterpieces in his Glassworks Gallery located in Sperryville.

Rappahannock News Photos/Randy Litzinger the weekends. “One student said he’d go insane if he didn't have this to do on the side, and he was very serious about it.” Kvames can make just about anything in glass, from plates, bowls and vases to decorative items. One thing he made years ago on a whim realiv paid off for him. “I made these sun-catchers,” ' . he said, holding up a blue disk about the size of a drink coaster. “I started doing them to have something under $10 to sell, and one day Sherry from Faith Mountain (company) came in and decided to put them in the catalog. “The first 50 I made went the. SwV. first day, and the second 50 went tne second day. Over nine years, we sold 92,000 of these, and that’s what , built this art center.” ' Glassworks Gallery is located at 11794 Lee Highway in Sperryville.

This is a great motion picture and fans will celebrate the result — a classic showdown between simple men and evil tyrants against a backdrop of panoramic beauty. Sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, the film is showing at The Theatre in Washington, VA, at 8 p.m., Friday, Jan. 21. tt’s 1882, and the Old West is gradually being modernized. The frontier is becoming a relic of the past. The post-Civil War race westward is wiping away the Indians and populating the land with towns where the rule of the gun is more important than the law. Free grazing, in which roaming cattle are allowed to feed wherever they roam, is still legal, but it is increasingly looked down upon by property owners who don’t want their prime acres stripped clean. The conflict between a group of free grazing cattlemen and a wealthy, unscrupulous rancher lies at the center of “Open Range.” The story is about a pair of affable but vaguely anti-social cowpunchers with dark pasts (Costner and Robert Duvall) who, while driving their herd across eastern Montana, run afoul of a greedy Irish American land baron (Michael Gambon). It’s the old homesteaders versus cattlemen formula, only this time it reverses the premise so it’s the cattlemen who represent the higher qualities of free-spirited individuality, and the evil squatter who embodies the forces that want to ruthlessly fence in the open range. Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) has ridden with Charley Waite (Kevin Costner) for a decade. Recently, they have taken on two apprentices, gentle giant Bose (Abraham Benrubi) and the orphan Button (Diego Luna.). All is going well until they reach a town “owned” by Denton Baxter (Michael Gambon), who doesn’t like free grazers and wants Boss’ herd. So, with the help of the corrupt local marshal, Poole (James Russo), he contrives to have Boss and his fellows murdered. Things don’t go exactly as planned. Mose is killed and Button is badly injured, but Boss and Charley escape unscathed and with an appetite for vengeance. They take Button to the local doctor’s house, where Sue Barlow (Annette Bening), the sister of Doc Barlow (Dean McDermott) cares for him. Then, with the connivance of a local named Percy (the late Michael Jeter), they plot their first move against Baxter and Poole. Fans of classic Westerns will find much here that’s comfortable and familiar. Costner’s casting choices, including himself are just right. Robert Duvall is very natural and relaxed and is a delight to watch. He is as much at ease with the character as he is on a horse, and brings out many facets of Boss’ personality — his toughness, his hidden vulnerability, his sly humor and his desire to settle down. Costner’s laconic style works for Charley, who is intended to be someone who doesn’t show a lot of emotion. Costner’s best scenes are the ones in which he fumblingly tries to express his feelings for Sue. Annette Bening is an excellent choice for the only significant female role. Although Sue never develops hfl TRIO OF GOOD GUYS: Costner, Duvall and Luna star in ‘Open Range’ which will be shown at 8 p.m., Friday, Jan. 21 at The Theatre on Gay Street. into much more than a love interest for Charley, Bening beefs up the part by doing a lot of acting with her eyes and expressions. Michael Gambon plays an evil villain and Michael Jeter, in one of his best (as well as his last) supporting parts, steals several scenes. Cinematographer James Muro deserves major credit for the breath^ taking look of the film, which lingers over the open skies and rolling contours of Alberta, Canada. The film is rated R- 1.

Mark Kramer will join him at the piano, as he did last year. Bruno has several recordings out on the Concord jazz label. Most recently he has released his first solo guitar CD, titled simply “Solo,” on Mel Bay Records. In the liner notes to his new recording, Bruno says “. . . my father taught me each time on this CD. Although I didn’t play them the same way I did when I was ten years old, the spirit of the music — which he taught me to respect — is still in each tune.” From the age of four, Mark Kramer was classically trained on the violin. In his late teens he shifted to jazz piano, on which he is entirely self taught. Besides performing with Jimmy Bruno, Kramer frequently plays with bassist Eddie Gomez and the Mark Kramer IVio. He may be heard on Itelarc Records and other labels.

Mosby Heritage Area Association plans lecture The Mosby Heritage Area Association is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2005 beginning with its annual winter lecture series. The lectures will be held each Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm throughout the month of February. This year’s theme, “A Sense of Place,” explores the unique heritage that John Singleton Mosby maxes up tne MosDy tientage Area. The series begins February 6, at Wakefield School in The Plains, with “Shenandoah: An American Icon” presented by Robert Jacobs. Jacobs is the social studies coordinator for the Frederick County School System and an adjunct professor at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. His illustrated slide presentation focuses on the Shenandoah River and its influence on the history, development and future of the Shenandoah Valley into which the Mosby Heritage Area extends. The presentation will include incidents involving Confederate Col. John Singleton Mosby and Fauquier County native T\imer Ashby that occurred in the northern Shenandoah Valley. On February 13, at Highland School in Warrenton, David Edwards will give a slide presentation entitled “Architectural Treasures of the Mosby Heritage Area”. Edwards, an architectural historian, is the director of the Winchester Regional Office of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and has extensive experience in the architectural history of this area. His presentation will, focus on historic structures and their influence on defining this area’s cultural and social heritage, its’ — “sense of place.” The third lecture will be given February 20, at Oatlands Plantation near Leesburg. Dr. Warren Hof stra will speak on aspects of his latest book, “The Planting of New Virginia: Settlement and Landscapes in the Shenandoah Valley. ” Hofstra is a nro fessor of history, specializing in American social and cultural history, at Shenandoah University in Winchester. He is also director of the university’s Community History Project. His presentation will concentrate on how the settlement of the Valley helped shape our “sense of place.” On February 27, the village of Atoka will be the setting for an innovative and exciting Mosby Heritage Area program. Under the creative direction of Rich Gillespie, MHAA’s new Director of Education, the Grey Ghost Interpretive Group will present a program entitled “Cavaliers, Courage, & Coffee: The Night Belonged to Mosby.” The program is designed to interpret that moment in time at which Loudoun, Fauquier, Clarke, Warren, and Prince William counties were at the peak of their national attention — the days in 1863-65 — when they were part of Meshy’s Confederacy, the most dangerous, bloody, exciting, and divisive moment in their history. The Lecture Series is an educational program of the Mosby Heritage Area Association that is offered free to the public. For further information, contact the Mosby Heritage Area Association at 540-6876681 or by email at info@mosbyheritagearea.org.

We are delighted to offer this resource to the citizens of the county and surrounding areas and look forward to identifying other life long learning programs LFCC can offer in the region.” The Center for Civil War History will be under the direction of Jonathan A. Noyalas, a history professor at Lord Fairfax Community College. Noyalas, a Civil War historian, author, consultant, and lecturer, has published numerous articles and book reviews about the Civil War and just recently published his first book, Plagued by War: Winchester, Virginia, During the Civil War. Noyalas will deliver a lecture after the luncheon, entitled “Southern Women: What They Meant to the Confederacy.” “Rappahannock county is an appropriate location to launch the Center,” said Noyalas. “The County was frequently used as a pathway for armies moving between the Shenandoah Valley and Northern Virginia, and the region witnessed many skirmishes. Prominent Civil War. figures that passed through or operated in the area include Thomas J. ‘Stonewall’ Jackson, George Armstrong Custer, J.E.B. Stuart, and John S. Mosby.” Rappahannock students prepare for science fair By David Naser and Patti Waddell Special to the Rappahannock News Students at both Rappahannock high school and Rappahannock elementary school are putting last minute touches on their projects for this year’s local science fair, which is slated for Wednesday, Feb. 2 and Thursday, Feb. 3 in the RCES gym.

Kaite Payne is preparing her project on conditions and additives for marigold seed germination. Eve Nealon is investigating fossilized micro organisms in Paleo-wetland environments. Lisa Maloney will solve the question of whether storing seeds at particular temperatures affects their germination. Caitlin Waites is investigating the effects of soft drinks, milk and distilled water on bone mass. Ibm Gillis is determining the best combinations of digestive enzymes for chicken digestion. Lucy Fogle is studying the effect of age on one’s ability to follow directions. Many interesting junior division projects are being submitted. Megan Wheatley is entering her project entitled “ Don’t B flat, Don’t B sharp, always B natural.” Zack Wayland is investigating potential energy, kinetic energy and mass in “Bowling Bottles.” Madison Herbert is studying synthetic vs. natural dyes. Conner Miller is studying the effects of barometric pressure on calving rates. Huck Pace is investigating the effect of population on pollution. Kendra Settle is studying the effect of age on geographic knowledge. Joe Vickers is determining the ultimate tower design. Austin Burnett is investigating “The Monte Carlo Effect: Can you predict the outcome of controlled scenarios?” The Science Fair allows students to apply the scientific method to a unique research question which they have developed and researched. Plan now to enjoy the Science Fair by viewing the displays created by our students. The displays will be open to the public from noon until 7 p.m., Thursday Feb.3, at RCES.

Public Notices STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT AND PUBLIC HEARING WATER QUALITY STANDARDS AMENDMENTS- EXCEPTIONAL STATE WATER DESIGNATIONS ISSUED: January 24, 2005 COMMENT PERIOD CLOSES April 1, 2005 at 5:00 P.M. Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007 and § 62.1-44.15:01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Water Control Board seeks comment on proposed amendments to the State's Water Quality Standards regulation as they relate to Exceptional State Water designations. Summary: The State Water Control Board (Board) is proposing amendments to the Antidegradation Policy section ofd the State's Water Quality Standards Regulation to designate seven surface waters as Exceptional State Waters (9 VAC 25-260-30.A.3.c). Basic: Statutory authority for promulgating these amendments can be found in §62.144.15(3a) of the Code of Virginia. The federal Clean Water Act at 303(c) mandates the Board to review and. as appropriate, modify and adopt water quality standards. The corresponding federal water quality standards regulation at 40 CFR 1316 descnbes the minimum requirements for water quality standards, including an antidegradation policy. Purpose: This rulemaking is intended to provide special protection to these ten waters to maintain their current exceptional status. By ensuing that no water quality degradation is allowed to occur in waters with exceptional environmental settings and either exceptional recreational opportunities or exceptional aquatic communities, the Board is protecting these special waters at their present quality for use and enjoyment by future generations of Virginians. Substance: The amendments to the Antidegradation Policy of the Water Quality Standards would designate portions of Big Run, Doyles River, East Hawksbill Creek, Jeremys Run, East Branch Naked Creek, Piney River, and North Fork Thornton River for special protection as Exceptional State Waters Issues: Upon permanent regulatory designation of a water body as an Exceptional State Water, the quality of that water body would be maintained and protected by not allowing any degradation except on a very short-term basis. No new. additional or increased point source discharge of sewage, industrial wastes or other pollution would be allowed into the designated water In addition, no new mixing zones would be allowed in an Exceptional State Water and mixing zones from upstream or tributory waters could not extend into the Exceptional State Waters sections. Localities Particularly Affected: Counties of Albemarle, Page, Rappahannock, and Rockingham. Public Participation: In addition to any other comments, the Board is seeking comments on the costs and benefits of the proposal and on any impacts of the regulation on farm and forest land preservation. Anyone wishing to submit written comments for the public comment file may do so at the public hearing, by mail or by e-mail or fax to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) staff contact person below. Written comments must include the name and address of the commenter. In order to be considered comments must be received by the close of the comment period at 5:00 p.m. on April 1,2005. A public hearing will be held on March 7, 2005. at 2:00 P.M. at the Luray Fire Station, 1 Firehouse Lane, Luray, VA 22835. Both oral and written comments may be submitted at that time. A question and answer period will be held one half hour pnor to the beginning of the public hearing The hearing will be held at a public facility believed to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Any person with questions on the accessibility of the facilities should contact Jean Gregory at the address or phone numbers below. Persons who wish to request interpreter services for the deaf must notify Ms. Gregory no later than February 7, 2005. The Board will hold a formal heanng at a time and place to be established, if a petition for such a heanng is received and granted. Affected persons may petition for a formal hearing concerning any issue of fact directly relevant to the legal validity of the proposed action Petitions must meet the requirements of § 1 23(b) of the Board's Procedural Rule No 1 (1980), and must be received by the contact person within 30 days of date of publication in the Virginia register. Other Information: Additional information is available on the DEQ web site at http://www.deq Virginia.gov/wqs or from the contact pcson below.
