By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Centex Homes — part of the Centex Corporation — is a heavyweight in the nation’s home building industry. The parent corporation is a Fortune 250 giant, with an annual revenue exceeding $10 billion, and Centex Homes, one of its many subsidiaries, built over 30,000 homes last year. It is about to build 774 more homes plus 398,000 square feet of retail and office space at the southeast quadrant of Clevenger’s Corner at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229 in Culpeper County. Rappahannock County travelers will get a chance in the coming years to see a major home builder in action. But to jaded commuters traveling each day to-and-from Northern Virginia, the scene will be familiar. First to come will be cuts into the landscape from Route 229 and U.S. 211. Turn lanes will be built, followed by the clearing of trees, the roughingin of roads, loads of gravel being spread, signs going up, and a sales trailer put into place. Giant concrete pipe sections scattered about, and construction equipment, heavy duty gravel trucks, and trash trucks going to and fro. . The first things to be constructed will be a new water system and a new wastewater system. These might take up to two or three years. Once elements of the new water system are available, major pieces of houses will arrive on flatbed tractortrailers, and dwellings will go up in a surprisingly short time. When water and sewer are available, Centex Homes is expected to build 125 homes the first year, 150 homes a year for the next four years, and 49 in the sixth year — 774 in all. According to a fiscal impact study of last summer, houses will range in price from about $319,000 to $483,200. Commercial retail and office space will ramp up over 15 years, to a total of 398,000 square feet, with rental rates of about $100 and $150 per square foot for retail and office, respectively. But all of these prices are likely to change in the future — undoubtedly upward. The Centex Corporation Who, or what, is Centex? For one thing, it is a corporation that comes”loaded for bear.” Home building, financial services, construction, home services, real estate investment, you name it — the capabilities are there. Centex was established in Dallas, Texas, in 1950 and the corporation still has its headquarters there. It trades on the New York Stock Exchange, currently for about $60 a share. Centex is so organized that in many places, when you walk into a sales office you can buy a home, arrange a mortgage, take care of the title insurance and escrow matters. And also obtain a homeowner’s insurance policy, have settlement taken care of, arrange for landscaping, lawn care, and pest control, and arrange for security monitoring of your home. In addition, when it comes time for Culpeper County to build the elementary school, middle school, or the library at Clevenger’s Corner, Centex could bid on that work as well. ‘Clevenger’s Village’ So how is Centex Homes’ See CENTEX, Page A2 Jury sentences Marshall on second degree murder By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Peter Luke, Rappahannock County’s commonwealth attorney, stood before the nine man, three woman jury last week, pleading that they send a message to the community that Rappahannock County will not tolerate murder. r Meetings & Notices • Rappahannock County Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, Feb. 3 for parent teacher conferences. • On Monday, Feb. 7 the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Courthouse on Gay Street. • On Tuesday, Feb. 8 there will be a meeting of the Rappahannock School Board at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock County High School band room.

Rappahannock News P.0. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540)675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) After deliberating less than one hour in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court, the message was loud arid clear as the jury came back with a 30-year sentence for Joel “Puddin” Marshall in the Dec. 14, 2003 shooting death of Roy Frazier. “I commend the jury for the time and attention they spent on this case,” said Luke. “They deserve credit for a job well done.” The verdict came after the jury heard the account of Marshall’s life as the defendant recalled his youth. Born in Caroline County Va., Marshall grew up the second son of a “farmer, logger and moon-shining bootlegger”. Marshall told the jury that he took his first drink of moonshine at the age of eight, which began a life of on-again, off-again drinking binges for the defendant who had been found guilty of second degree murder just moments earlier. In the first sign of emotion from Marshall throughout the three-day trial, he recounted how he and his mother had a very close relationship. That relationship ended abruptly on Dec. 1, 1967 when police found her dead, the result of a gunshot wound inflicted by Marshall’s father, who later turned the gun on himself, ending his own life. Marshall went on to marry his “childhood sweetheart,” a marriage that ended in divorce after his return from two years active duty in Vietnam. In cross-examination, Luke pointed out that Marshall had left out parts of the story — parts that told of his felony convictions. The convictions began in 1967, just two weeks before the death of Marshall’s parents with the unauthorized Use of a motor vehicle.

Rappahannock News Statt Photos/ Jeanne Spath Smells of sweets spell success at Sperryville’s Apple Hill Bakery By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sitting in a cozy bakery with the pleasant aroma of doughnuts, muffins, pies and breads lingering in the air while sipping a cup of coffee is a wonderful way to spend a winter morning in Rappahannock County. . Local residents can have that comforting opportunity and experience at the Apple Hill Bakery in Sperryville. When Wayne and Dot Waller took a short vacation “getaway” from the Air Force in Oct., 1990, little did they imagine that 15 years later they would be getting up at 2 a.m. to make doughnuts and bread. However, mixing 50-100 lbs. of flour, two lbs. of yeast and close to 50 lbs. of sugar a day has yielded more than just doughnuts and bread. The Wallers have found a business that is not only profitable for them, but has been welcomed in FRESHLY BAKED: The aroma of baked doughnuts greets customers as they enter Apple Hill Bakery. Rappahannock County. The couple opened the bakery in November, in partnership with Lucky and Eileen Yilmaz, their daughter and son-in-law from New Jersey. “We took some of the recipes from the previous owner of the bakery (Mountain John's Wholesale Bakery), and tweaked them," said See BAKERY, Page A2 iNewsmaker Eastham oil the mend Local farmer Doug Eastham hopes to be back on the tractor this spring.

Centex From Page A1 “Clevenger’s Village” on the southeast quadrant of the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229 going to evolve? As noted, first to be constructed are the new water production, treatment system, water storage facility and wastewater treatment plant. The new water system will be able to handle 867,000 gallons per day, and is targeted to be operational in June 2007. The location of the water treatment plant has not been determined yet, but there will be two metal, golf-ball shaped water towers, each holding 400,000 gallons. The first water tower — 180-feet tall -— will be located on the south side of U.S. 211 near the Route 229 intersection or, alternatively, further l on, as the eastbound lanes of U.S. 211 start down toward the bridge over the Rappahannock River. The second water tower, between 150 and 180-feet high, will probably be at the southern end of the development, near Route 621. The wastewater treatment plant will be hidden on a 25-acre lot down by the Rappahannock River. It will be near the river’s edge, east of the South Wales Golf Course and on a line about half-way between U.S. 211 and Route 621. It is to handle 600,000 gallons of wastewater per day, and be operational in January 2008. A commercial area, with an entrance about 700-feet down Route 229, and on the left, will lead to a “Village Main Street” running parallel to U.S. 211 and shielded from U.S. 211 by a 100-foot wide buffer of trees. Some two-dozen or so shops with iwo-story facades will flank this “Village Main Street,” and there will be a grocery store and possibly a restaurant, bank, and library nearby. Further in will be office spaces, a commuter “park and ride” lot, and an access road from U.S. 211. Five ‘neighborhoods’ Housing will be clustered in five “neighborhoods,” connected together along a north-south “spine road” starting at U.S 21,1, and running down the middle of the development, parallel to Route 229, and exiting at Route 621, two miles away. One neighborhood, called “Village Residential,” contains townhouses and a few dwellings on the second floor over village shops. Partly within, but mainly south of the commercial area, the neighborhood has a village green. There will be a total of 188 units (priced $248,000$390,000), with a number of them built in each of the six years of residential construction. A second neighborhood, called “Golf Course,” has 155 houses (priced $390,000$471,510) next to, and in the middle of, the South Wales Golf Course area, with these being built in the last three years of the build-out of homes. A third neighborhood, called “Manor House,” has 126 houses (priced $390,000$448,500), and is located somewhat opposite South Wales, with many homes being built in the first year of the six years of build-out.

An elementary and middle school will be located still further south, close to where the north-south spine road links up with Route 621, Jeffersonton Road. A number of land preserves encircle the southern end, and a river buffer area along the Rappahannock River also preserves open space. More development coming , One thing about Centex Homes is that it has deep pockets. It will be able to fund the $21.5 million cost of the water and sewer facilities with payback from future connection fees. The facilities also cover the 343 homes currently at South Wales. After completion, the entire system will be turned over to the Culpeper County Water and Sewer Authority. Such a public water and sewer system will then allow other subdivisions within Culpeper County’s “Clevenger’s Corner Village Plan” to undertake their own development, paced according to real estate demand and their ability to find their own water and pay for the extension of the public water and sewer lines. Such development will bring on more residential and commercial construction. The Epstein property on the southwest corner of. the U.S. 211/Route 229 intersection is zoned for 157 homes and 35,000 square feet of commercial space. The northwest corner is zoned for 125 homes; and on the northeast corner, River Ridge is zoned for 125 homes — an overall total of 704 more homes. In the future, Route 622 Old Bridge Road, will be realigned to match up with the north-south spine road in the Centex development. Will there be traffics lights? Ultimately, two or three on U.S. 211; three on Route 229. I Amissville man recuperates from tractor accident By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Over the past 18 months, Rappahannock County has lost two of its farmers and nearly lost another due to serious tractor accidents. William “Doug” Eastham was spared his life. A tractor accident in December left him seriously injured but he is recuperating. In July of 2003, John Dwyer of Flint Hill was bush hogging when the tractor he was riding overturned on him. In August of 2004. Jim Lee of Washington was also trapped under a tractor when a tractor wheel had snagged on a rock causing the entire tractor to flip over on him. One of the things that Rappahannock County is known best for is farming. It is not at all unusual to see the tractors in the fields or even to see them riding down Rt. 211. The tractors are used for so many things such as bushhogging, plowing and planting the fields, feeding livestock, and carrying hay. These Eire just a few of their uses. Eastham spared On December 27 at 9:30 William ‘Doug’ Eastham a.m., 56-year-old William “Doug” Eastham of Red Hill Farm in Amissville, had started his day on a 55- horse powered tractor. Eastham would have normally used a larger tractor with a baler on it but it had a flat tire. Instead he used a smaller tractor with a round bale spike on the back, which just carries a big roll of hay. Eastham had carried the roll of hay to the field where he put if off and then stopped the tractor and got off to separate the hay. For some reason the tractor started rolling down the hill. Eastham thought he could run and try to stop the tractor. He managed to grab the seat of the tractor which broke, and the back wheel ran over his lower body. The tractor ran into a fence which stopped \ Eastham crawled aown to the tractor thinking he could still drive the tractor back. He pulled himself up by the fender over the back wheel but unfortunately he could not pull himself up on the tractor. Eastham turned the tractor off and tried hollering for help but no one was able to hear him because the wind was blowing so strongly. Eastham stayed leaning across the back wheel and holding onto the fender. He remained that way until the next morning when he was found by his wife, Mckie, and his sister, Lizzie. Neither of them had been concerned by Eastham’s absence because he frequently worked long hours on equipment at night. Eastham says that he was very fortunate that the Lord was with him and that one of the things that saved him during the 12-15 degree weather was that he wore many layers of clothing. With a cracked pelvis, the See ACCIDENT, Page A10 Bakery From Page A1 Dot Waller while enjoying a delicious mozzarella, basil and tomato galleto. Within five days of opening, the owners found that they would need at least one more person to help with the baking. That is when they hired a college student, Josh Fantaci. “He quickly learned about baking, and is really good,” confirmed Waller. Each one of the bakers has a specialty. For Wayne Waller, a flight test engineer in his “real” job, it is the doughnuts. “He is really good with thSh,” laughed Eileen Yilmaz. “It’s quite a stretch from airplanes.” As for Lucky Yilmaz, a business administration major, it is 1 CUPID’S INSTALMENT PLAN FOR MAKING HER YOURS Install gently in each of her bbes. And bingo! She’s yours! Petersen Jewelers 625 Meadowbrook Shopping Center Culpeper, VA. 540-825-6033 the lattice work on the pies that he has mastered. Listening to Eileen talk about Dot’s Strawberry Cointreau Cheesecake would make anyone drool. The layered cheesecake takes days to prepare, so it is made on a special order basis only. “Her hummingbird cake is the best,” said Dot Waller of Eileen’s speciality. Getting up at the wee hours of the morning is not enough for Dot Waller and Lucky Yilmaz. The pair are currently attending advanced cake decorating classes in Leesburg in the evenings. The bakery offers special order cakes for birthdays, wedding and any special events. Not all of the recipes came from the previous owner. Some have been adapted from Dot Waller’s collection of over 40 years. “Don’t forget Aunt Marge’s cake brownies and pumpkin brownies,” Eileen added in the list of goodies. Special requests One customer who could not eat sugar asked for pies made with a sugar substitute — no problem. Now there are sugar-free pies and doughnuts on the menu. Allergic to wheat products? Dot Waller is trying her hand at making breads using spelt flour. Spelt, an organic grain dating back to 5000-6000 B.C., is rich in amino acids and minerals, and is a substitute for wheat flour. Since this is their first ven ture with a retail bakery business, the group is ready to experiment with what the public wants to buy. Why Rappahannock? Ask the Wallers what drew them to Rappahannock County and Wayne Waller is quick to tell you — fate. The couple enjoyed finding out-of-the-way places, and were looking for a bed-andbreakfast in the mountains or near Williamsburg, Va. They made a two-day reservation at Blue Knoll Farm in Estes. The trip ended up being four days instead of two, and the couple flew back home to Lancaster, Calif, the proud owners of what would eventually be their own B&B in Sperryville. “Moving here was a culture shock,” admitted Dot Waller but her husband, Wayne, quickly inteijected, “a positive culture shock, we love it here.” Eileen Yilmaz graduated from Rappahannock County High School, and has returned home with her husband, Lucky, a native of 'Rirkey. “We just needed to come back here,” said Eileen, “we love it.” The couples are not limiting their efforts to bakery items. They also specialize in small to moderate catering — approximately 200 people.

Marshall also admitted that he had been in and out of treatment for the addiction.

This eight- year span is the least amount of time the jury could sentence Harrington’s client for the possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony — a crime which automatically carries a three-year sentence and the 5-40 years for the second degree murder conviction. Harrington pleaded with the members of the jury, saying, “this community needs to embrace him (Marshall) and protect him from himself.” . When it was all said and done, Harrington was surprised and disappointed at the sentencing verdict made by the jury. “Thirty years is a long time of a man’s life,” Harrington said, “I respect the process, but I am still disappointed in the decision.” Harrington said that he stands by the argument he made in his closing statement to the jury, “I still think this was an accidental shooting.” However, it was in the hands of the jury to decide the fate of Rappahannock resident, Joel Marshall, with the words of the commonwealth attorney ringing in their ears, “Sometimes we all have to be responsible for the actions we make.” While the jury did not give the maximum sentence for second degree murder, they did send a message for the county - committing a murder in Rappahannock County comes with a high price.

SperryviUe Business Alliance plans community events calendar ine operryville Business Alliance is requesting information about upcoming events. The group, which has been looking at ways to increase tourism and exposure for the Sperryville area, appointed John Hallberg of Smokehouse Winery to help plan and promote a community calendar of events for the upcoming seasons. The calendar of events will list concerts, classes, seasonal activities, etc. and will be included as an insert in the Sperryville brochure, which is expected to be updated in a new printing slated for spring. Events will also be listed on a website which can easily be Sperryville Nancy Ostinato i 987-8444 I oldsperryvillebookI shop@ig|ide.net updated to accommodate impromptu events or to give current information whenever an event must be rescheduled with short notice. The Business Alliance hopes that the calendar will help business owners coordinate their efforts so that times of major events won’t conflict and all area activities can be promoted. “People are realizing how special our area is, hopefully a community calendar will let them know how diverse and eclectic it is,” said Hallberg. The Alliance asks business owners to finalize plans as soon as possible for events taking place in the next year and to include information such as the date of the event, a short description, and any other details such as fees for the event. This information can be sent via email to smokehousewinery@earthlink.net or you may contact John by telephone. Also new to the brochure will be a listing of service people. Services include but are not limited to: therapists, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, trail guides, etc. If the person providing services is located within the 987 telephone exchange area, they qualify for membership in the business alliance and may purchase a listing in the brochure. These listings will not only be useful for folks in the area but will provide a great' advertising opportunity for the service providers. The cost of the listing depends upon the size of the ad and the number of service providers included. “This brochure will be a “keeper” with maps, trails, events and a huge printing. This should be a wonderful brochure that lasts for the year, with the events calendar being updated regularly on a separate page,” said Business Alliance Core Council member, Elizabeth Lee. Service providers interested in a listing in the brochure, contact Elizabeth at 987-1002. Historical handmade quilt will be auctioned this corning spring1 February is American Heart month.

Already there have been significant world changes. There have been elections in Iraq. There has been help for devastated tsunami victims. A president has been re-elected and there has been a host of cabinet changes. Here in Virginia our general assembly is tackling tough issues like transportation, taxes, education and health. Social security is looming as a not so safe savings plan. Or is it just hipe to help out private companies and lure vulnerable investors. One thing is for sure. Many baby boomers are relying on social security to provide a comfortable nest or a fresh start. Clevenger’s Corner was approved and easements in Rappahannock County are at an all-time high. The Rappahannock News has a new editor and the previous editor is pursuing a new journalistic path with another paper in Northern Virginia. Change. Hopefully, we’re all changing but we do so at different rates and we view change in different ways. While we can’t always control what happens to us or around us, we can control how we react to it. My Symphony of Life To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This will be my Symphony. —William Henry Channing Kudos to Centex and Culpeper Board Congratulations to Centex and the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors for completion of the rezoning of the Clevenger’s Comer parcel. Centex, as a private landowner, has a reasonable expectation of rezoning approval for a plan developed in accordance with Culpeper’s adopted Comprehensive Plan. Centex showed flexibility in reducing its proposed level of development and resulting impact. Culpeper was successful in negotiating a 71 percent reduction in residential units and a 73 percent reduction in commercial floor space as compared to the original Centex application. It would be difficult fpr Culpeper to realize its Village Center vision ivithout any village. It might be beneficial if the Rappahannock News could broaden its coverage of the development to include a more complete discussion of Centex’s proffered commitments, permanent open space preservation, proposed amenities, anticipated job creation, and the likely financial impact on Culpeper County. This balance would help the reader evaluate the total impact of the development. With regard to transportation, perhaps \DOT will 4 reserve one of the lanes on each side of Rt. 211 for Rappahannock County commuters only since we appear to believe we are more important than future Culpeper residents. It is also surprising to me that Culpeper County hasn’t required its Board to represent Rappahannock County citizen (or RLEP) interests instead of seeking guidance from its own adopted Comprehensive Plan. Perhaps in the future Rappahannock County will seek input from Culpeper County instead of looking to our own carefully developed Plan. For a county that is as politically conservative as Rappahannock, it seems inconsistent to be so liberal in our approach to land rights, especially other people’s land rights outside our jurisdiction. We have ours and want yours too. For those of us with children, we should acknowledge that our kids will eventually have to live and work outside Rappahannock County due to our desired land use restrictions. Perhaps we should require them to move at least 50 miles away so as not to inconvenience the rest of us. David Oliver Sperryville r Ott ...W6'l/61 CaoTTSN 60H£ I 6oooMlieA6£ 00ToFTH't6 um / Letters Supervisors — Downzone the Aileen plant right The former Aileen Plant near Flint Hill is under contract to be sold by Rappahannock County to M.T. Puskar Construction Company for use as offices, and contractor warehousing and storage. There has also been mention of the possibility of limited retail sales for lumber and other building materials. The county is in the process of changing the zoning from Industrial to Commercial General as part of this transaction. The proposed use and buyer can be a welcome neighbor and resident in Flint Hill in the county, provided the necessary restrictions are in place to protect our rural residential neighborhood. Last week the Rappahannock Planning Commission held its hearing on this application and recommended approval to the Board of Supervisors. I was in attendance at this hearing. It seemed evident from Supervisor Ron Frazier’s comments that the terms of the rezoning are a “done deal,” and there was “no going back” to change the terms of the contract with the purchaser to incorporate additional restrictions. In other words, the board predetermined the terms of the zoning at the time of the execution of the sales agreement. Concerns raised about use, traffic, etc. were not taken seriously at the Planning Commission hearing, yet this decision by the Board has immediate impact on the residents of Flint Hill. The county purchased this property to control its use and impact to the community. Although the existing Industrial zoning would certainly allow for uses and impacts that are greater than what is proposed, it is now very important for the Board of Supervisors to provide the restrictions in this rezoning to protect the Flint Hill neighborhood. The Board needs to take into consideration two primary issues regarding the pending rezoning as they evaluate the change of zoning. The two primary issues are: • Restrictions on use. In addition to the uses restricted by the sales agreement, there are additional incompatible . uses that should also be restricted as part of the proposed Commercial General zoning. The following uses will still be permitted at the Aileen plant: kennel, travel tr^ler park, motor vehicle impoundment lot, auto service station and repair garage, auto sales and service, truck and heavy equipment sales and service. All of these uses are incompatible in our rural residential neighborhood in Flint Hill and should be restricted as part of this pending rezoning. • Truck size. The proposed lumber/contractor yard could result in a high volume of large trucks that the area roadways and nearby intersections will be unable to accommodate. The intersection of Aileen Road and Route 522 has a very sharp angle, and the presence of a knoll to the south of the intersection severely limits sight distance. In addition, large trucks wishing to make the sharp turn between Route 522 and Aileen Road would find it impossible to negotiate the turn. The intersection of Fodderstack Road and Route 522 has a severe sight distance problem resulting from the presence of a house on the southwest comer. Limitations need to be placed on the number and size of trucks to be more compatible with the size and nature of our roads. Trucks larger than single unit (30 feet) trucks should be restricted as a proffer. Otherwise, a serious safety hazard will be created at these intersections. With a little more effort, the Board can do the right thing — put the Aileen plant back on the tax rolls, create new jobs, and protect the adjacent community. Joe Svatos Flint Hill Sentence was "disheartening’ I am appalled at the travesty of justice that occurred in the case of Ellis Smith (“Castleton man gets jail time in child sex case,” in the Rappahannock News, Jan. 27, 2005.). The sentencing that Judge Jeffrey Parker gave was not in “the best interest of the child” — or future children — and isn’t that how these things are supposed to be decided. I believe that Mr. Smith may be sorry; however, he will never be able to replace the innocence that has been taken from that little girl. It will take her many, many years to recover, and no one will be able to erase the memories she will have. Her fragile little soul and spirit will need to be healed, and that could take years of counseling. I know that recovery is possible, but it is such a long process. A $500 fine is an insult to the family. How do you put a price on the abuse of an innocent child? Many experts in the field of abuse — as well as recovering offenders — say that this type of abuse is calculated. The adults know what they are doing. They chose a trusting and vulnerable child and see how far they can take things. The sentence was a slap on Mr. Smith’s wrist, and a slap in the face to the child and her family. What is this teaching her about our judicial system? What child or former abused person would want to come forward with a sentence such as this? Who will explain to the next victim why this slipped through the cracks? This is a very serious crime. I believe that there is . forgiveness and healing for Mr. Smith. However, there is also God’s law of sowing and reaping, and that extends to every sin from lying to molestation to murder. This whole situation is very sad and disheartening for every person involved. I am especially disheartened by the lack of justice in this case. Sara Kleppinger Castle ton Proposed sewer system exceeds reasonable needs Since resigning as the Mayor of the Town of Washington, I have attempted to refrain from expressing my thoughts relative to town business. I believe that it is now someone else’s turn. However, I have not stopped caring about this very special town and have been startled by some of the figures published in the Rappahannock News about the town’s proposed sewer system. Admittedly, the information published in the paper is somewhat limited, but it’s what I have to work with. When I left the position of mayor, we were discussing a $1.7 million system; now we are talking a figure of $4 million. or more. The system that was proposed behind Avon Hall was to have a maximum capacity of about 45,000 gallons a day. We talked about that for more than a year. Clearly, the town’s needs can be argued, and I do not object to the proposed sys tern’s approach. However, the town should be concerned about the price. Further, as I understand from the paper, the proposed system is to have an 80,000 gallon a day capacity. During the eight-and-ahalf years I was on council, daily water use in town ranged between 25,000 and 35.000 gallons a day, with the average gradually increasing in that range. If I understand the proposed design, the 80,000 gallon a day proposal means there will be an increased capacity over current needs of 45.000 gallons a day. If an average house uses 200 gallons a day, that will support 225 new houses, probably tripling the population of the town. Alternatively, considering that The Inn at Little Washington uses roughly a third of the town’s water, 45,000 gallons a day could support four additional inns. I question whether either the houses or the inns are real near-term possibilities. Whether I have correctly understood the proposal or not, the implication of a large system is for major growth of the town at the expense of the current town residents. It was always my desire that the people of the town would participate more in town government and I hope that they will actively participate in the review of the proposed system. J.

House votes to speed up food tax cut By Holly Hobbs and Ali Khan Capital News Service With Fairfax County delegates at the forefront, the House last week voted unanimously to speed up a planned reduction in the state’s food tax. House Bill 1638, which now goes before the Senate for approval, would reduce the state’s 3 percent grocery tax to 1.5 percent on July 1. Under a law passed by the General Assembly last year, the tax wasn’t scheduled to drop to 1.5 percent until July 1, 2007. In addition to the state tax, local governments add a food tax of 1 percent. The chief sponsor of HB 1638 is Delegate Vince Calla-. han, R-McLean, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. Co-sponsors included Republican Delegate Thomas Rust of Herndon and Democratic Delegates Adam Ebbin of Arlington, Vivian Watts of. Annandale and Robert Hull of Falls Church. “It’s been a goal for years to get rid of that because it affects all,” said another co-sponsor, Delegate S. Chris Jones, RSuffolk. “It’s something people have been interested in for some time.” The reduction would take about $150 million a year out of the general fund, Jones said. Money from that fund is used Farm Credit returns over $18 million to area farmers Customers of Farm Credit who live in Virginia received patronage refund checks totaling more than $18 million during 2004. In a ceremony in Washington, Sen.George Allen and Sen. John Warner joined Farm Credit board chairmen from the three Farm Credit associations in Virginia to announce the distribution of the refunds to farmers and rural residents in the state. Greg Farmer, President of Colonial Farm Credit, explained that Farm Credit is organized as a customer-owned cooperative. “Our customers share in the profitable operation of their company through a patronage refund,” noted Farmer, “reducing their borrowing costs and returning money to the rural communities where they live.” Valley Farm Credit, Farm Credit of the Virginians and Colonial Farm Credit provide more than $1.8 billion in financing to nearly 18,000 farmers, agribusinesses and rural homeowners in Virginia. They loan funds for home purchase and construction, land and farm purchases, equipment, farming expenses, and horse and livestock purchases. Best managed state: Lt. Gov.

As delegates expedited the food tax cut, House Republican leaders also vowed to reduce another levy: the personal property tax on privately owned vehicles. In 1998, the General Assembly had planned to eventually phase out the car tax. But during last year’s legislative session, the Assembly froze the phasing-out process because of the soaring cost of reimbursing localities for the lost revenue. Now that the state has a budget surplus of more than $1 billion, GOP leaders in the House unveiled legislation to resume and finish phasing out the car tax. Callahan said legislators should honor the “commitment” they made to tax relief during the gubernatorial term of Republican Jim Gilmore, who campaigned on the slogan “No Car Tax.” “Last year’s budget agreement instituted a cap on this promised relief,” said Callahan, whose bill in 1998 initiated the phase-out of the car tax. “We need to pledge now to end this interruption and honor our commitment to the people of Virginia.” Under the proposed legislation, a series of revenue “triggers” would be put in place in the state budget starting in 2006. As state revenue increased to certain levels, the triggers would be activated, allowing the phase-out of the car tax to proceed. “By putting triggers back into effect, we will be keeping the promise made to our citizens in 1998, and doing so in a fiscally responsible manner,” Callahan said. House Speaker William J. Howell echoed those sentiments. Citing the “extraordinary strength” of Virginia’s economy, he said the General Assembly is “in a position to fulfill the commitments we have made to Virginia’s citizens.” “When we enacted legislation — with strong, bipartisan support — to phase out the car tax in 1998, Virginians rightly saw it as the fulfillment of a promise made,” Howell said. “By taking action now to ensure that promise is kept, we will be taking smother positive step forward to restore the people’s trust in their government and their leaders.” Virginia gets all A’s for state management By Amy Biegelsen Capital News Service “I call this straight A’s,” said Gov,. Mark Warner Monday as he proudly lifted an image of Virginia’s report card — enlarged to the size of a coffee table — off its easel so his audience could get a better view. The Government Performance Project assesses how well states manage their assets in five broad categories: overall, money, peo pie, infrastructure and information. The Pew Charitable Trusts fund the project. The group gave Virginia an A for money and A minuses for people, infrastructure and information — adding up to an A minus overall. Only Utah scored as high in the overall category.

On Tuesday, students in grades four through six presented their science projects at the 2005 WCDS Science Fair, i Back in the fall, each stu<Ient had been asked to choose a subject, conduct research, and then form and test a hypothesis over a three-month period. Guidance was given periodically ^during science classes, but the projects were completed entirely at home by the students. Projects covered a wide range of topics, and included questions such as: which chickens lay the most eggs, does •music affect the heart rate, and what type of truss bridge holds the most weight?

The following students were recognized for their outstanding projects: Grade 4: Henry Johnson, Rachel DuMez, Daniel Chadduck Grade 5: Ryan Ochoa, John Morgan Christoph Grade 6: Timothy Pressler, Luke Guyant, Sarah Hazel This week, WCDS third and fourth graders had a visit from Kelly Cauthom, a representative of the Smithsonian National Zoological Park’s Conservation and Research Center (CRC) in Front Royal, who gave a presentation on deer ecology and habitat fragmenta tion. This lecture was part of the CRC’s outreach efforts to help students in the area learn more about wildlife and conservation. Wakefield’s students were introduced to the ecology and biology of a variety of deer species. After learning the characteristics of animals with antlers versus animals with horns, they were able to examine individual samples, including white tail deer antlers and an extinct species’ horns. Ms. Cauthom explained to the students why food, water and shelter play such important roles in habitat conservation, and they engaged in a mapping activity which helped them understand the affects of habitat fragmentation on deer populations. She also shared with the students how ecologists at the National Zoo use radio and satellite telemetry to monitor the impact of fragmentation on deer populations.

Comments From Page A5 “Being named the best managed state is yet another validation that the bipartisan budget reform plan approved last year is moving Virginia in the right direction. Last year, Virginia’s sterling Aaa bond rating was reconfirmed and the Commonwealth had the nation’s second fastest job growth rate. “I am committed to maintaining our long-term view and our fiscal discipline as we work through this budget and future budgets. Today’s revenue news means that we can eliminate the last of the Gilmore gimmicks in the budget — the accelerated sales tax collections from Virginia businesses.

Panther boys’ basketball downed by Mountaineers By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock Times Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School boy’s basketball team went head-to-head against Madison County High School last week, losing the game 7143. With a starting line-up of all seniors, Madison County had the advantage as the Rapp team had only one senior and the rest juniors and sophomores to start. “We just didn’t match up,” explained Rapp coach Ibussaint Summers. From the stands, it was clear Madison also had the advantage in height as some players towered almost a foot above Rapp players. The Panthers started off well, putting three on the board to open the game. The Mountaineers stole the ball for a lay up posting two on the boards. Madison and Rapp traded treys in the final minute and a half, ending the quarter with the Mountaineers ahead 18-12. In the second quarter Madison’s height advantage was evident as the team continued to pass the ball under the basket easily increasing its score. Unable to defend against such height, Rapp’s defense was at a loss as to how to block Madison’s shots. Madison widened the gap, with dual three-pointers, upping the score at the end of the first half, 32-21. Encouraging the Panthers at halftime, Summers told his team to “Keep chipping away at Madison’s lead. Thke it. in four minute increments and keep your head up.” Madison went on a 19-point run in the third quarter with Rapp managing to put only 8 on the board. With 4:18 left in the quarter Madison had double Rapp’s score 66-33. The fourth quarter repeated much of the earlier game with Rapp unable to close the margin. “We are a really young team and they (Madison) just outplayed us,” said Summers. High scorers for the night were Irving Smith with 16 and Jacob Dodson with 10. Rapp JV Boys*’ basketball The JV boys’ basketball team came close to posting a win against Madison but were ultimately defeated 41-31. “I think we finally came out with intensity,” said Coach Judd Hanberry. At halftime Rapp was down by 13 with the score 20-7. Rapp hit the opening shot of the third quarter with Madison immediately turning the ball over, the Panthers putting up two more on the board. The Panthers dominated offensively in the third, gaining confidence against the Mountaineers. “You could see in their eyes that they (the Panthers) knew what they were doing,” said Hanberry. With fans cheering loudly, Rapp outdid themselves in the third quarter outscoring Madisdh by 11, closing the margin to two. Free throws were key in the game, valuable points won and lost at the line by both teams. In the final minutes of play, Madison was able to steal the ball making open shots under the basket to clinch the victory Hanberry was pleased with the .TV’s performance saying, “We are really coming together in practice.” High scorers for the night were Chase Tupper with 11 and Will Boelte with 10.

Rapp wrestlers post individual wins By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County High School wrestling team was on the road Saturday at Buffalo Gap High School, posting several individual wins. RCHS’ Alex Sharp went head-to-head against Gap’s Seth Talbott at 140 pounds, putting four on the books for the team with a 14-2 major decision. Sharp minor decisioned Riverheads’ Ben Brooks later in the day. In the 152-pound division, Rapp’s Dos Allen pinned both of his opponents, Bison Chris Coyner'in 2:50 and Gladiator Andrew Heizer in 1:05.

Munley, 24, of Warrenton, Va. to Fauquier County Hospital. Munley, who was charged with reckless driving and driving on a revoked license, was headed west on Route 211 near Route 640 with cruise control in operation on the vehicle when he saw two deer in the road. The driver swerved to avoid collision with the deer and the vehicle ran off the road and flipped over. Munley was transported by the Flint Hill Fire and Rescue Department.

Historically speaking: New column debuts The Rappahannock Historical Society is committed to serving Rappahannock County, its residents and visitors as an educational institution that promotes knowledge of the past for a better understanding of the future. We are in no way a political society and our only source of income is from membership dues, a couple of grants, donations, sale of books and maps and fees for , doing verified research for individuals in the fields of genealogy and property history. The Society is located in Washington on Gay St. next to George Washington the Rappahannock Clinic. Inside our building you will find hundreds of files, dealing with genealogy, property research, a library of family histories and research aids and a museum. Tracing our roots The Society was formed in December of 1964 when a group of over 50 citizens met at the courthouse after a small gathering of interested people had met at Avon Hall, the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan. This meeting, chaired by Judge Raynor V. Snead, subsequently elected Mr. E. M. (Ned) Jones as the first president. In July 1965, Mrs. George Davis was authorized to purchase the first research items: a book on the first Baptist churches and a first Baptist church register. She also photo copied the Quit Rent Roll for Culpeper County dated 1771. (Rappahannock County was a part of Culpeper County until 1833.) At this same meeting Mr. George Davis gave the Society its first Hotchkiss maps. These maps are still today our best selling authenticated maps. Did You Know? In the days of George Washington there were no AllA’s From Page A5 in the money management category, to the state’s six-year financial plan. Warner urged legislators to stick with his program. “Wouldn’t it be ironic if within a few weeks of receiving an A in financial management, we did something that takes us off a path of fiscal responsibilities?” asked Warner. This year, the state has a budget surplus, and Republican leaders in the House want the General Assembly to commit itself to a plan for phasing out the car tax. The Democratic governor doesn’t like that idea. He suggested that legislators use the surplus to speed up a scheduled reduction in the sales tax on food and to fund one-time expenditures, such as certain transportation projects. W.C.

Some Histories & Mysteries Fran Eldred Inspiring by Randy Minter DEATH PRACTICES AMONG THE ANCIENTS The ancient Greeks believed that the deceased must make a journey across the river Styx to the land of eternity. A coin was placed in the mouth of the deceased to pay passage over the river, and a honey cake was placed next to the body to appease the dog Cerebrus, who guarded the entrance to Hades. As for the ancient Romans, they would wash the deceased's body daily for seven days with hot water and oil. A group of slaves, called pollinectores, performed this ' function. Funeral processions were held at night to avoid defilement of the living. The procession was managed by a Designator, who functioned in much the same capacity as today’s modem funeral director. Having someone experienced in dealing with death can be a real comfort at a time of loss - and that’s where our help can be essential.

Black contributions to the American Red Cross By Kathleen Synder Special to the Rappahannock News African Americans have proudly shared in the humanitarian work of the American Red Cross since its founding. Despite the societal prejudices against them, and the obstacles they faced, African Americans have persisted in reaching out to help others. For Black History Month, we are showcasing some outstanding contributions of African Americans to the Red Cross. . Frederick Douglass (18181895) was among a small and select group of incorporators invited to serve the newly formed American Association of the Red Cross. After the War Between the States, Clara Barton sat at a dinner table with famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass and other acquaintances and discussed establishing a Red Cross association in the United States. Mr. Douglass supported Miss Barton’s efforts and continued to support the work of the Red Cross after it was founded in 1881. Douglass and Clara Barton first met in 1865. Barton’s assistance to African American soldiers during the war was well, known, especially her assistance to the allblack Massachusetts 54th Regiment, which had been recruited by Mr. Douglass. The bravery of the soldiers of the 54th Regiment was well documented and formed the basis for the 1991 film Frederick Douglass “Glory”. Miss Barton gained the trust of African Americans, and supported their achievements.. Clara Barton first learned of the International Red Cross while in France in 1870 during the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. Following her return to the United States, she lobbied and lectured for years to convince the public and Congress of the importance of the Red Cross. One of her diary entries from that time notes, “still depressed, invited to lunch with Frederick Douglass at Mrs. Taylor’s. I ask their opinion of my course, all decided I should go.” When Frederick Douglass was appointed U.S. Marshall for the District of Columbia in 1877, Miss Barton wrote him a congratulatory letter saying, “All the hours since I knew of PERFORMANCE Since 2002, we have handled 56% of all properties over $700flQO, more than ten times our nearest competitor. Frank Hardy, Inc. Realtors RAPPAHANNOCK OFFICE * \ 540-675-3999 www.farmandestate.net your appointment, I have longed to reach you with my shout of‘God be praised’.” In return, Frederick Douglass offered his support when Miss Barton sought assistance in her efforts to establish an American Red Cross. As one of the founding members of the American Association of the Red Cross, his name appears on the 1882 United States Ratification of the Geneva Convention, signed by President Chester A. Arthur. The United States was the 32nd. nation to sign the document, agreeing to protect the wounded during wartime. This ratification of the 1864 Geneva Convention Treaty gave the American Association of the Red Cross an official basis for inclusion in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. In 1893 the organization was legally renamed the American National Red Cross. In 1978 it became, simply, the American Red Cross. Frederick Douglass is also listed as a governing member of the Committee in the 1882 “Appeal to the American People”, which publicized the urgent need for financial contributions to American Red Cross. The continuing commitment of Mr. Douglass and other African Americans to the Red Cross has been chron icled in a special exhibit in the American Red Cross Virtual Museum, available on the Web from the American Red Cross home page, at http ://www. redcross.org.

So it seems fitting that the final easement of the year — granted on December 30, but not recorded at the Clerk’s Office until January 13 — is in Jackson District. Donated by John R. Jenkins (also signed by Elizabeth L. Jenkins), the easement protects 101 acres at the eastern base of Battle Mountain, allowing no future subdivision. As of the end of 2004, conservation easements have been placed on 20,346 acres in Rappahannock County — 14.95% of all private land. Accident From Page A2 doctor has said that hopefully Eastham should be back to normal within eight weeks. Eastham has learned his lesson and said, “when the tractor starts to roll, let it go.” Take it easy on your tractor With spring planting season right around the comer Virginia F arm Extension agent Kenner Love offers these tips for farmers. • Securely fasten your seat belt if the tractor has a ROPS (roll over protective structure). • Avoid operating the tractor near ditches, embankments, and holes. • Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces. • Connect the brake, pedals together when operating on roads. • Keep the brakes adjusted properly. • Check the condition and inflation levels of tractor tires before operation. • Always turn on the headlights and flashers when operating a tractor on public roads. • Make sure an SMV is visibly displayed on the back of the tractor or implement being pulled. • When jump starting a tractor, be sure it is out of gear and only attempt to crank it from the operator’s seat. Having avoided a fatality, Eastham plans to be back on his tractor this spring, more conscious of safety than in the past. hi' Take a closer look at Fauquier Hospital...

Storytelling has chronicled civilizations over the ages, long before there was the written word. One has only to reflect for a moment on the stories that we, as babes in their arms, heard from our parents and grandparents. “By creating stories from the material of their life experiences, participants in this series of workshops begin to understand that they are the creators of their life events,” said Portman. Portman’s workshops are part of a national story writing and story-sharing program sponsored by Ki Theatre that teaches participants how to shape personal experiences into memorable stories. Through a process of writing and sharing life stories, people learn how to listen and respond to each other’s stories, using images rather than critical judgment, thereby increasing understanding. Over 200 people in Rappahannock County and the surrounding area — and more than 500 nationally — have taken this course. In addition, over 10,000 nationally have either taken the courses or watched Life Stories live performances by Portman. Countless others have watched her performances on PBS television. The inspiration for these workshops is clearly evident as Portman explained, “I have always felt that our life stories are one of the most powerful reminders of the gift of life that we share. Every single person, regardless of their age or background or belief system, has a unique story to tell and the need for their story to be heard. That’s why I teach “Life Stories Workshops.” Portman emphasized that she is “inspired by the gift of creativity that every single person has and expresses when they write or tell their stories.” This inspiration is rekindled year after year in the creative stories told in the workshops Portman leads, as well as in the stories growing out of the workshops that are later adapted to vignettes in plays at the Ki Theatre — such as “No Ordinary Person” or “Stories Run Through Us.” Stories are everywhere for inspiration and learning. Portman remembers vividly the 9/11 tragedy and reading the hundreds of thumbnail obituaries that were published in the New York Times. She recalled that these “stories” set a new standard for such reports by focusing not on career achievements but on memories that are more personal. “Why, for instance, was ‘Suzie Vargas’ so important to her younger Schedule of LiEe Stories Workshops • February 25 * 27: Introductory Three Day • March 4-6: Advanced Three Day • March 11 -13: Three Day “Training the Trainer" for teaching Life Stories • April 23: One Day — Techniques and Principles of Performing Stories • April 24: One Day — Stories from Adventures in Your Life • June 24 - 26: Introductory Three Day brother?” “And, then there was the 75-yearold friend who talked everyday as he went to work with ‘Joe Demario’ — someone who will always be remembered.” Portman, Life Stories facilitator and master teacher is an “Obie” winning playwright, performer and director who has lived in Rappahannock County for the past 18 years. She is founder and artistic director of Ki Theatre and has written numerous plays inspired by life stories with hundreds of productions staged worldwide. Her forthcoming book. The Passion, Power and Promise of Story, will be published in 2006. “Life Stories Workshops” offers six unique opportunities for people in our area to awaken their creativity and give voice to the power of stories in their lives, their organizations, and in their communities. The schedule includes both 3-day and 1-day sessions, for beginners and advanced students, as well as people who want to learn how to teach the art of stories to others. The workshops cost $370 for the 3-day sessions and $130 for the 1-day course. A deposit check for $100 made to Ki Theatre (P.O. Box 203, Washington, VA 22747) will secure a place in the course that is limited to no more than 14 participants. Accommodations can be arranged for outof-town guests. Continuing Education credits are available for all workshops. For further information, please call Ki Theatre’s office at 540987-3164 or go to their website at www.kitheatre.com. QUEEN OF Kl: Julie Portman welcomes theatregoers o to Ki Theatre’s most recent play, “Children of War.” Photo by Richard Lykes Winterberry offers spritely splash of red color RappNature Sara and Jim Lawrey “Winter botany” sounds like a contradiction in terms, but Rappahannock landscapes can be appreciated just as much in winter as in spring and fall. Winter is actually the best time to see certain plants. For example, the fall and winter fruits of hollies stand out especially well now. The hollies (genus Ilex) number around 400 species, but there are many more cultivated varieties. The Holly Society of America is the best source of information http://www. Photos by Jim Lawrey SWEET TREATS: Birds are especially attracted to Winterberry’s bright color. hollysocam.org/ on both native and cultivated varieties. Certainly the most familiar of the hollies are the evergreen ones such as English holly (I. aquifolium) with dark green, thick, leathery leaves and red fruits Photo by Elijah Blanton SWEET SOUNDS: Carsie will be appearing this Friday at Mountainside Market in Sperryville. ‘Carsie’ sings Local singer and songwriter Carsie from Rappahannock will be at Mountainside Market in Sperryville from 8 to 9 p.m., Friday, Feb. .4. Carsie’s lyrically clever songs are folk with blues, funk, jazz and indie rock influences, infused with rhythmic guitar and soulful honeyed vocals. There is no charge, but contributions will be gratefully accepted to help with the cost for album production. RED SIRENS: Winterberry beckons visitors to the home of Bruce and Susan Jones. that can be fashioned into Christmas wreaths and sprays. Our native American holly (I. opaca) is very similar, though less frequently used in commerce. American hollies are common understory plants in most forest types in the county, and will be obvious even to the most casual observer this time of year. We tend to think of all hollies as evergreen, but most of the holly species in the county are deciduous, and they can be just as spectacular. One of these is Ilex verticillata, the winterberry or black-alder. Here’s a good example of dueling common names, and makes a compelling case for not using common names at all for plants. This native holly is common along streams and low woods throughout its range; wetland biologists use it as an indicator species for wetland delineation. In habitats with sufficient light it produces brilliant sprays of bright red berry-like drupes along stems that eventually lose their leaves, so that in winter it seems to beckon from a distance. A stunning cluster of these hollies can be seen at the entrance to Bruce and Susan Jones’ place on Long Mountain Road. But are these bejeweled stems really beckoning us? Probably not. It’s more likely they are beckoning seed dispersers, especially birds that are attracted to the red color of these and other fall and winter fruits — think of native species in Euonymous, Sorbus, Lindera, Amelanchier, Comus, etc. and aliens such as species of Celastrus and Berberis. The persistent field naturalist will eventuaily be rewarded with a sighting of many different kinds of birds feeding on these fruits. For example, we have seen hermit thrushes, Cedar waxwings and bluebirds. We have discovered that clusters of fruiting trees and shrubs are not only attractive to us and the birds, but useful stations for bird watching. Cultivated varieties of hollies are so popular we hardly feel the need to remind our readers that the group is almost entirely dioecious, that is, there are separate male and female plants in each species. Both sexes produce similar inconspicuous flowers in the late spring and summer, but a close look will reveal that the flowers on males have aborted pistils and those on females have aborted stamens. Female hollies have dominated this discussion so far—they’re the ones that produce the fruits that are so spectacular in winter. But males are necessary (yes, Virginia, this is a biological fact, at least for hollies) for fruiting to take place on females. They need not be very close to each other, but a male — only one — somewhere in the proximity of females is necessary as a source of pollen. Dioecy has fascinated botanists since before Linnaeus’ time, and a number of adaptive explanations for the condition have been proposed. Most modem ones are variations on the idea that separating genetic individuals during mating reduces inbreeding and the genetic problems that often accompany this. However, only about 10 percent of the flowering plants are dioecious, and it is an interesting fact that these are mostly species that produce fleshy, animal-dispersed fruits rather than hard or dry, wind-dispersed types. The adaptive argument for this is that animal dispersal is energetically costly and dioecy results in a reduced cost. For example, females can invest more in fruits if they don’t also invest in pollen. We don’t know. But it gives us something to think about while we’re waiting for Cedar waxwings at a bnght-red patch of Ilex verticillata! Send news items to us at: rappnature@aol.com.

RAAC welcomes Carleton Coon at the Rappahannock Library By Betsy Hille Special to the Rappahannock News Carleton Coon of Washington will talk about his new book, “One Planet, One People— Beyond Us vs. Them” on Friday, Feb,. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Rappahannock Library. The talk is sponsored by The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), as part of the Second Friday at the Library Series. Coon’s latest book is his most definitive statement about how his progressive humanist world view can illuminate contemporary world issues, as well as the age old questions of who we are, where we came from, and why. A central theme of Coon’s book is that societies have evolved over the last 50,000 years not only by adapting to environmental change, but by competing with each other. Throughout this evolutionary period, the “us versus them” syndrome has enabled successful societies to survive. But even our most successful societies have reached a breaking point. Global problems have emerged that require global solutions. In Coon’s view, in recent years we have witnessed a disastrous case of leadership moving the world’s most powerful country in exactly the wrong direction. “I draw on my experience as a diplomat to propose the broad outlines of a solution,” said Coon. “A coalition of countries that have achieved stable democratic systems of governance will have to cooperate closely among themselves and with a strengthened UN while they reach out to zones of instability and gradually deal with the roots of that instability “Eventually, our descendants will enjoy a world order that still contains and even rejoices in diversity, but human rights will be respected everywhere, the worst inequalities between rich and poor will be removed, and everyone will cooperate in meeting environmental concerns.” “Is this utopian and impractical?” continues Coon. “Not in the least, unless we lose our quintessentially human capacity to imagine things that have not happened yet — but could happen — if we cooperate to achieve them. “It is this capacity to imagine that hit our ancestors like a Promethean lightning bolt 50,000 years ago, and propelled us out of caves into megacities. We imagine, we set our goals, we achieve. That’s the progressive part. The humanist part is, we do it for all of us.” “One Planet, One People” is based on modern science in general, and evolutionary theory in particular. Societies evolve, as well as species, but the rules governing their evolution are somewhat different. To lay a foundation for this examination of how societies evolve, Coon describes the complex world of the human mind, which exists not just in separate minds alone, but in a continuum that represents the collective thinking of all people, past and present. Coon analyzes how creatures of the mind Carleton Coon are bom, evolve and die, drawing on the latest findings of evolutionary psychologists, linguists, anthropologists, and others. He establishes a new context in which we can look at many old questions, like: What is consciousness? Is there such a thing as a human soul? Is there life after death? Is God a creature of human imagination, or something more? Can there be ethics without God? What is the essence of democracy? What is the proper role of the scientific method in helping us judge emerging moral issues? “You won’t find all the answers spelled out in my book, but if you think about my views, you’ll almost certainly develop some fresh thoughts about them,” said Coon. “And what do you expect from a simple, clearly written book only 139 pages long?” About Carlton Coon Carleton Coon is a retired U.S. diplomat living in Washington, Virginia and Washington, D.C. He was bom in 1927, graduated from Harvard in 1949 (after serving briefly in the U.S. Army at the end of World War II), and joined the U.S. Foreign Service that same year. • During his 37 years of government service, Coon was posted in various countries stretching from Morocco to Nepal. Prior to his retirement in 1985, Coon served as U.S. Ambassador to Nepal. Coon’s main interest is in different cultures and different people. His second main interest is music — mostly western classical, but also non-western music. He has written many essays. To learn more, visit www.progressivehumanism.com. Copies of “One Planet, One People — Beyond Us vs. Them” will be available for purchase at the February 11 event. Admission is free. Record breaking acreage protected in the Piedmont In 2004, the peoy ,e of the Piedmont set a record by protecting 23,790 acres of open space through the use of conservation easements. The movement to protect privatelyheld rural land from development has been experiencing tremendous momentum in this area, with landowners placing an average of 19,000 acres under easement every year for the last five years. The record-breaking total for 2004 brings the total number of acres protected by easement in the nine counties served by the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) to almost 215,000 acres, an acreage that is larger than Shenandoah National Park “We’re immensely pleased at what communities in the Piedmont have been able to accomplish,” said Chris Miller, President of PEC. “When it comes to conservation easements, this is one of the most successful regions in the entire country.” The Piedmont region continues to lead the state of Virginia, while Virginia is among the top five states in the nation for protecting land through conservation easements. The nine counties of Virginia’s Piedmont—including Loudoun, Clarke, Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison, Orange, Greene, and Albemarle—have protected more land with conservation easements then almost any state in the nation. Landowners in Rappahannock placed easements on sixteen properties last year, for a total of 4,121 acres. The overall total in Rappahannock is now over 20,000 acres. Sarah Gannon, PEC’s Conservation Officer for Rappahannock County, said, “momentum for conservation has been steadily building in Rappahannock County, with the result that 2004 was a record year for land protection. Just over 4,000 acres of private land were put into easement last year, compared to 1,500 in 2003.” Among the properties placed under easement in Rappahannock last year was a 100-acre, multi-generational farm in the southern end of the county, which was protected by the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation, a PEC revolving fund created in honor of Dr. Werner Krebser. Gannon said, “This farm represents the Krebser Fund’s first conservation project and will be one of many to come.” PEC’S Director of Land Conservation, Catherine Scott said, “The number of acres preserved last year reflects the growing belief among Piedmont residents that open space is a valuable resource, worthy of protection. In fact, we couldn’t use easements to conserve land if people hadn’t affirmed through their elected officials—both at the state level and the local level—that rural preservation has real public benefits. In Virginia, easements must be consistent with the local Comprehensive Plan.” Bob Lee, the Executive Director of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF), said, “having worked as a County Administrator in the Piedmont for many years, I can attest that conservation of open spaces is definitely an economic win for local governments.” According to a 2003 study that was done by the American Farmland Trust in Culpeper County, farms and other open lands use only $0.32 in local services for every dollar of taxes paid, while homes require $1.22 for every dollar paid. Land placed under permanent easement also lowers the value used by the state to determine local ability to pay, which results in increased funding from the Commonwealth for schools and other county services. Easements also support two major industries of the Piedmont: agriculture and tourism. Like other landowners, farmers can gain needed capital by placing an easement on their land and earning a substantial state tax credit which they may either use or sell. Farmers also benefit from reduced appraisal values on their land, which lightens their tax burden. In Albemarle, Clarke, and Fauquier, working farms received money from publicly supported Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) programs. John Schied, who serves as Chairmar of the Review Committee for Fauquier’s PDR program, said, “some of the guys in the PDR program, if they weren’t in the program, would be at risk of losing their land.” A PDR program in Rappahannock received binding to begin conserving properties in 2005. The time-honored work of farming and the open, pastoral landscape that results from it support an industry that has been burgeoning recently in the Piedmont. Between 1990 and 2000, travelers’ spending in Piedmont counties increased by an average of 283 percent. If the region is to continue benefiting from this influx of money, it cannot allow the landscape that attracts tourists to be converted into housing developments, strip malls, and sheets of asphalt. “Conservation easements help us to take care of many of the things that people in this region care about the most,” added Larson. Among the most significant properties to be conserved in 2004 were three tracts that are vitally important for historic reasons: the Mine Rim Battlefield in Orange, a thousand acres of the Monticello plantation in Albemarle and Ben Venue, a historic landmark farm of 1,885 acres in Rappahannock County Landowners in Fauquier County led the region last year, using easements to protect 8,264 acres. Other totals were 6,753 acres in Albemarle, 4,121 acres in Rappahannock, 1,635 acres in Loudoun, 997 acres in Clarke, 769 acres in Orange, 606 acres -in Madison, 585 in Greene, and 60 acres in Culpeper.

Who’s got your beat? Learn the language of the drum By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock Times Staff Writer Rappahannock resident Janet Kerig is inviting people to learn the language of the drum in her Wise Woman Drum Call Workshop to be held from 2-4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 12 at the Town Hall in Washington. All levels are welcome to participate even if they do not have their own drum. In the workshop people can expect to learn many different drum rhythms including world beat, primal beat, trance, entrainment, belly dance rhythms, zills, and West African. Kerig will also help those who might be shy to become confident about drumming. “Everybody in the drum circle will get attention as well as a chance to drum on their own and in the group,” said Kerig. She believes this workshop will be particularly beneficial because participants will be able to take something home with them to practice. “People meet to drum in drum circles and then go home and forget what they did,” said Kerig. Along with being fun, drumming is also good for your health. Kerig explained, “one hour of drumming raises the immune system. It causes the lymph nodes to vibrate which makes them work better.” Not only does Kerig play the drums, she also makes them. When making a hand drum she begins with the base, which is made with ceramic, and then stretches the head of the drum, which is usually made of goat skin, over its top. “Drumming is a passion,” said Kerig who has been a dancer and musician for much of her life. As a child in an Air Force family Kerig spent three years in Damascus, Syria which she described as, “the land of belly dance.” The environment took hold of something in Kerig and she got her first drum at age nine. When the family moved, Kerig’s drum was lost and her father replaced it with a clarinet. “I didn’t really want to play it, but I did,” said Kerig adding, “they didn’t encourage girls to play drums when I went to high school ‘that’s for the boys’ they said.” It was roughly 30 years before she picked up a drum again. “I am attracted to the beat because the drums can move people to dance,” said Kerig. Kerig is now a very skilled drummer and she has studied diligently over the years. Darrell Rose, Olumide, Kevin Monroe, Madu, and Mamadi Dekeita have been some of her teachers. “When I study with master drummers they are passing on an oral tradition. It’s not like the written notes we have in Western music,” noted Kerig. Although some may think that drumming is simple, Kerig reveals the nature of its’ complexities. “You have to know your part and play your part,” she said about drum circles. She goes on to say that a lot of focus is required when playing in a large circle. If one drummer is off beat it can confuse everyone else. Kerig has played in drum circles of up to 75 people. “You are transcending reality when that happens,” she said. Kerig currently plays in the Charlottesville community drum choir and also with local group, A Thousand Faces, formerly named Friends of Gaia. While Kerig has held several drum workshops for adults this will be her first in Rappahannock. She hopes it will be one in a series of drum workshops here in the county. “As you get older I think it really helps to broaden your mind. Drumming is a challenge and it works both the left and right side of the brain. It is like learning a new language.” Ruth Purnell may be reached at rpurnell@timespapers.com) Kyle S. Robinson Local graduate now a soldier Air Force Airman Kyle S. Robinson has graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Robinson, son of Cynthia Robinson of Aileen Road, Flint Hill, Va., is a 2004 graduate of Rappahannock County High School. During Robinson’s six weeks of training, he studied the Air Force mission, organization, and military customs and courtesies. He also performed drill and ceremony marches, and received physical training, rifle marksmanship, field training exercises, and special training in human relations. Currently, Robinson is stationed at Charleston, S.C., attending school to become a crew chief. His graduation is scheduled for Feb. 24, 2005. Former Rappahannock graduate pays a visit to his old school Marine Cpl. Frank Paratore took time while home on leave to visit the filth grade classrooms at Rappahannock County Elementary School. As fourth graders, many of the students had written letters to Paratore and his fellow marines. Paratore’s visit answered many of their questions about the war in Iraq according to teacher, Layne Vickers. Paratore is a 2000 graduate of Rappahannock High School and has served two tours of duty in Iraq and will start a third tour in February. His father, Paul Paratore, is a teacher at Auburn Middle School in Fauquier County.
