Local artist plans outdoor kiosk By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer Hidden away in Gid Brown Hollow is the home and studio of Davette Leonard one of Rappahannock County’s many talented artists. “My passion is creating art,” expressed Leonard. Although Leonard admits her pri ority is being a mom, art is something she knew she wanted to do since age five. “I centered my work around being available for my children,” she said. A realist artist, Leonard loves to work from life, painting people, flowers and vegetables. “Because of the time frame, I sometimes have to work with photographs—especially when painting flowers because they wilt,” said Leonard. Another reason Leonard is forced to work with photographs is that she loves to paint exotic flowers.

During their meeting, Chappell answered questions that Board members had about the proposed budget. Reading specialists One concern questioned the value of adding two more reading specialist positions at the elementary school. Board member Rosa Crocker asked what was the demonstrable value for the students by adding these positions and were they a luxury rather than a necessity? Quick to respond, Chappell suggested inviting someone to come talk to the Board members and explain the nature of the work of the current reading specialist at the elementary school Barbara Wheatley. He also said that Wheatley’s work has shown a marked improvement in the reading of students in grades one and two and that adding more specialists like her would allow for the third and fourth graders to benefit by working to maintain their reading skills.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Ruth Parnell Free Clinic celebrates four By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Free Clinic in Washington, Va. is proud to announce that it is going into its fourth year. “I am most happy about beginning our fourth consecutive year which proves we are quite established here in the community,” said volunteer and Rappahannock Services Advisory Board member Philip Strange. Opening in January of 2001 the clinic is comprised of a staff that is almost entirely volunteer. Providing free medical assistance to those in the area that qualify, the clinic meets the first and third Wednesdays of every month. Patients with acute and chronic illnesses, and those diagnosed with diabetes can all receive treatment. Dental care is also available for those in need of fillings or extractions at the Fauquier Free Clinic in Warrenton. See CLINIC, Page A2 Rappahannock Cancer Unit plans active spring By Bette Mahoney Special to the Rappahannock News The months of February through May are a time of intense activity for members of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society and their many supporters. This year it is especially so since in addition to the regularly occurring events, Daffodil Days and the Relay for Life, the Board will also be presenting a Community Health Fair. Don’t forget your daffodils The first event, Daffodil Days, is a fund raiser in support of the American Cancer Society’s programs of research, public education, advocacy and patient services. The daffodil is known as the “flower of hope” and symbolizes the triumph over cancer and the hopeful spirit that cancer patients exhibit in their personal battles against the disease.

Rappahannock high school students fill ‘Empty Bowls’ for charity By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Beautiful handmade bowls were filled for charity last Thursday as students of Rappahannock County High School raised over $800 for the Center for Hunger and Poverty. The Center, whose local chapter is located in Charlottesville, promotes policies that improve the lives of low-income children and families.

Adam Hoss Moore Jr. It’s a boy! Adam Moore Sr. and Renee Gordon from Chester Gap are proud to announce the birth of their son, Adam * Hoss Moore Jr. Adam was bom on Jan. 10 at Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. He weighed 8 lbs. 8 ozs. and was 20 inches long. 'Maternal grandparents are Elizabeth Gordon of Winchester and Diane Gordon of Martinsburg, W. Va. Paternal grandparents are Jimmy and Jane Williams of Chester Gap. Leonard From Page A1 walls of her studio come alive with the many colors of nature. Leonard explained that she has a completely different relationship with a piece of work she paints from life rather than from a photograph, but says in the end,” It’s the creating that is the gratifying part. “Paintings of people and even miniature pencil portraits are part of her repertoire. At one point Leonard said she even went through a “dessert phase” and had a friend make her several pies so she could paint them. “I don’t like to eat desserts, but I love to paint them,” she said. Hearthstone School in Sperryville has benefited from Leonard’s contributions throughout the years and another artistic treat is underway. Leonard is currently working on an exciting new project there. What she hopes to create with the students is an outdoor kiosk that will contain two large hinged panels displaying 18 different illustrations of flowers that can be found in the Shenandoah National Park. The piece will be called Wild Flowers of Shenandoah National Park and will hopefully educate people on the need to preserve the park’s natural treasures. “You don’t have to walk away with something to possess it,” said Leon’ard who wants the illustrations to discourage people from picking flowers that are currently on the nations ‘At Risk’ list. Leonard said she was grateful for the help provided by Pine Phillips, Wendy Sirat and Jesse Reynolds. Back to school Agreeing to substitute as the art teacher at Rappahannock County High School, Leonard made a very important discovery about herself. “I realized that even if I had all the time in the world to paint, I would still want to take a little of it to teach.” Leonard is currently going back to school and her end goal is to become a certified teacher. Her wish is to teach art and she said, “art can be so healing and in high school life can be very rocky. It is great when you can give a child a tool to make life easier.” Leonard currently assists the art teacher at Rappahannock Elementary School, Harriett Rosenblatt, with special art projects. “I have so much fun collaborating and brainstorming with her,” said Leonard. Leonard’s background is steeped in art. She attended the Art Students League in grade 6 and by grade nine, Leonard’s school allowed her to major in art. She also took many private lessons. Two years after graduating from high school Leonard attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, majoring in fine arts/painting. Twenty-five years of residency and three daughters have made Leonard an invested part of the Rappahannock community. Those interested in Leonard’s work should be sure to visit the Rappahannock County Library where her work will be on display during March. 1,500-4,600 sa ft. Office 1,500 4,700 sa. ft.

Clinic From Page A1 The Rappahannock site is a satellite of the Fauquier Clinic. Before the clinic was established in Washington, Rappahannock residents were driven and at one point even bussed to Fauquier. “That was a disaster,” admitted Strange. Strange, along with two other members of the Rappahannock Services Advisory Board, Jean Lillard and Jennifer Matthews, decided something had to be done about bringing a clinic closer to the residents of Rappahannock. The three went to the Fauquier establishment with a written proposal for starting a similar clinic in the Town of Washington. With the Rappahannock Health Department offering their building as a home for the clinic, plans began to form. The clinic is now thriving with the help of many volunteers and funding from the county. There are those who volunteer their time to checkin patients and review paper work to establish eligibility, while nurses and doctors donate their time to examine and care for patients. Strange commented, “we could not do this without the incredible amount of volunteer help from the citizens of Rappahannock County.” Seventeen patients arrived on the first Wednesday the clinic was held in February. “We usually have to stop at ten because we don’t have enough staff,” said Strange. Luckily for the extra seven who came, a second doctor was on hand for the evening and all 17 patients were treated. Strange went on to say that thanks to the help of Dr. Patricia Daly, the second Wednesday of every third month will now be entirely devoted to patients diagnosed with diabetes. Eligibility criteria dictates that patients must be residents of Rappahannock or Fauquier County, have no health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, and be from low income house holds. Patients should arrive between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. for registration and to establish whether or not they qualify to attend the clinic. They must also try to be one of the first 10 patients present in order to guarantee an appointment with the doctor. “We are very honored to work with these patients,” said volunteer Jennifer Matthews. For more information about the Rappahannock Free Clinic those interested are welcome to call 540-347-0394. If necessary this call may be made collect. Ruth Purnell may be reached at rpumell@timespapers.com Relay From Page A1 Lois Kerchner, the chair for Daffodil Days, has been taking orders for fresh cut flowers and potted mini bulbs. While orders should have been placed by February 20, there will still be daffodils available around the community during the week of March 14-20 and at the upcoming Health Fair. For more information, call Lois Kerchner at 540-675-3905, or e-mail her at whitcarin@aol.com. Free screenings The next activity is a Health Fair, which will offer a wide variety of free health related information and screening exams. It will be held on March 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School and is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. However, a number of other organizations and individuals are assisting and will be present. For example, the Culpeper Regional Hospital will be providing cholesterol screening for the first 50 participants and will also be screening for depression, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Fauquier Hospital will be providing breast cancer exams, body fat analysis and flexibility, rangeof-motion, and foot screening. The Rappahannock Lions will have their Sight and Hearing Van available for sight and hearing screenings. In addition, there will be chair massages, nutrition information, oral cancer screenings, EKGs and other screenings and lots of information provided. And, of course, no Rappahannock event can occur without refreshments. Plan to attend. More information will be available as we move closer to the event. Relay for Life gets new co-chair The final activity is the Relay for Life, which has become a' Rappahannock “tradition.” The relay will take place at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on May 21-22. Relay for Life is a community event in which teams of 8-15 people (15 maximum on one team) take turns in the relay. One or more team members at a time walk or run the track in shifts during the night. Teams are asked to raise money in advance of the relay so that everyone can enjoy the food and fun while knowing they have already helped in the fight against cancer. Being on a team is your opportunity to get involved and make a difference in the battle against cancer. The first meeting of the Relay for Life Team Captains took place on February 10. Almost twenty people were in attendance and they represented both old and new teams. Tamara Waldo was introduced at this meeting as the new cochair of this year’s relay. Tamara will assist Ben Atkins, the current chairman, this year and become the new chairperson for next year’s relay. She will also lead a new team from Sunnyside Farms. The next meeting of team captains takes place on March 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Washington Baptist Church. While team registration will continue until the day of the relay, those team captains who register their teams by this meeting will be assured that their team names are on the back of this year’s shirts. Team packages will be available at the next meeting or at the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office in Washington before that. A good way to join in the fight against cancer is to join or sponsor a team or generously contribute to a team. For further information about being a team captain, serving on a team, sponsoring a team, or about the event, contact Ben Atkins at 635-2377 or Bette Mahoney at 675-3446. Budget From Page A1 Technology Resource Teacher Another question that arose was on the job description of the state-required Technology Resource Teacher. What exactly would this person be doing at the school and while they are state required were they really necessary? Chappell responded that while the Technology Resource n teacher would be able to do some teaching he or she would also be available to help students and staff with questions or problems with school technology. This teacher would be shared by both the high school and elementary school. Currently the school has a group of four in the staff development program that help with the school’s technology issues. They work after school. The advantage of having the technology resource teacher would be his/her availability during the school day. “I think having this position (the n Longaberger® Basket »BINGO r to benefit C.M.

Smile..you*re on camera Questions on the school bus surveillance cameras came up during the evening. Did the price of new buses include preinstalled cameras? The answer was, “No,” but Chappell stressed the importance of the cameras in that they were helpful in maintaining orderly behavior on the bus. Drivers who experience difficulty with a child can ask the principals to review the tapes and take further action. Realizing that misbehaving could be caught on tape, students are less apt to cause trouble explained Chappell Increasing salaries? Salary increases were also a topic of discussion as Board members were interested in the rates of salary increases in competing counties. The only reported increases were 5.4 percent for Culpeper County. Not only increases in teacher salaries, but increases in coaching stipends . were brought to the table. Currently Rappahannock County coaches are paid less than other schools in the district and in contiguous counties. “Even if amounts are boosted we will still be below other areas because they are boosting as well, but we want to remain competitive,” said Chappell. The one issue that was not about the budget was a request from Bob Chappell to the Board to approve a field trip to be taken by the culinary arts class. Teacher Mary Arthur wants to take students to Vermont and New York to expose them to schools available in the field of culinary arts. While it will'be a somewhat long trip, Chappell thought it would be a valuable one, and the Board seemed to agree, approving the request unanimously. The Rappahannock County High School Honor Roll printed on 2/17/05 contained the wrong marking period, and should have read “First Semester 2004-05.” The Rappahannock News regrets the error, and inconvenience this may have caused. Notice of Public Hearing Establishment of Public Road The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County proposes to adopt an ordinance which will establish a public road, at no expense to the State or to the County, across the County property upon which the Flatwood Refuse and Recycling Facility is located. This road will replace a portion of the old Rock Mills Road previously abandoned, so as to allow property owners’ access from the current Rock Mills Road to their properties. This ordinance will amend and replace a previous ordinance adopted on 24 June, 2002. Copies of the proposed ordinace and of a plat showing the location of the proposed road are available for inspection at the County Administration Office at 290 Gay Street from 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday. A public hearing on said ordinance shall be held at the Board Of Supervisors monthly meeting on March 7, 2005 at 4:00 P.M. at the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia. All interested persons are invited to attend and to make comment. By Order Of: John W. McCarthy County Administrator

Rappahannock was home to Virginia’s first winery By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer With Virginia wines growing in popularity nationwide, it is no wonder Rappahannock County has become home to some of the top wineries in the state. According to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, wine production in the state has more than tripled since 1979, producing Over 285,000 cases of wine in 2001. In our area, 11 vineyards have combined for marketing purposes, making up the Blue Ridge Wine Way. Five of the 11 are located in the Rappahannock County area, including Farfelu Vineyards in Flint Hill, Gray Ghost Vineyards and Unicom Winery, both in Amissville, Oasis Winery and Rappahannock Cellars, both in Huntly. An additional vineyard in the county is located at Bleu Rock Farms near Washington, Va. Wine made from this vineyard is processed and bottled at Oasis Winery. Focus on Farfelu Farfelu Vineyard, founded in 1967, is considered Virginia’s first modem-day winery. Traveling off Rt. 522 onto winding Crest Hill Road on the way to the winery is a scenic treat in itself. However, once arriving at the 86-acre estate, wine enthusiasts get more than just a taste of Virginia’s finest fruits. “People tend to stay longer here to get the broad spectrum of our winery,” said Farfelu’s general manager Steve Duty. Like most vineyards, the winery offers tastings, but visitors can also enjoy a three-andone-half mile hiking trail along the Rappahannock River,playing horseshoes, and strolling around the vineyard. No longer eccentric The word “farfelu” comes from the French language, meaning “eccentric.” While not necessarily thought of as eccentric today, being the first to try making wine in the state after many years gave some people a reason to believe the concept was indeed eccentric. Tbday, the venture has increased to producing 3,500 cases of wine per year in a beautifully renovated 1860s dairy bam. “We keep things simple here,” said Duty. “Our motto is ‘Serious wine for unserious people’.” The vineyard has grown from a small winery to mid-sized operation since Caroline and John Osborne, of Cleveland i Park, Washington, D.C. P bought the business in ^ 2000. usDome nas encouraged vineyard operations to become “green,” letting the land dictate the production of the grapes that are harvested for their wine. The staff at Farfelu is dedicated to sustainable agriculture, using no toxic chemicals on their vines. According to Duty, “the product is only as good as the dirt it is grown in.” During the winter months, the soil at Farfelu is continually nourished with compost around the vines. It is also during the cold winter months that pruning of the vines takes place, limiting the number of buds on each vine. This process allows the ' vine’s energy to be concentrated, producing a higher quality grape. - Duty explained that during the winter, “the vine stores carbohydrates in the roots, and waits for the temperature to rise, storing energy, waiting to spring back to life.” A cultured palate There is an art to producing wine that people love to drink, a craft that calls for the winemaker to have an excellent palate. At Farfelu, it is Duty’s palate they rely upon for award winning wines. While Duty is the general manager, he is also the winemaker, having cultured his tastes as a chef in the beginning of his career. Duty received his culinary Get A Head Start ^ on Spring Projects!

His favorite Farfelu wine Ik is Muse, which he describes A as “a European Bordeaux blend, a well balanced wine and probably our most well crafted.” Fou de Rouge is Farfelu’s best seller, described as a “red wine for non-red wine drinkers.” However. ibe wine Duty is perhaps the most proud of is Amour. “We just released this dessert wine on Valentine’s Day,” he said. “It is a very special iced wine blend.” Virginia wines When Farfelu first opened 38 years ago, many people questioned whether the business would be viable. But Virginia vineyards produce wines that compete well with some of the most popular wines in the world. Virginia wineries are finding the right grapes to grow in Virginia,” Duty explained. “It is a learning curve.” As for Rappahannock County, he said each wineiy site is different, and the final product depends on what the land gives its owners. Not only does the land define the product, but also the constant changing climate found throughout the mountainous region. With consumers choosing Virginia wines more and more, Duty sees a bright future for the vineyards in Rappahannock County. “We all work together,” he said. “There is a real sense of community, with plenty of room for everybody. Wine making is a budding industry in Rappahannock County.” Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com. Highland Center for the Arts i.

SWEET SPLENDOR: A bit of Rappahannock serenity was captured on film by local Flint Hill resident Trish Bartholomew. Photo by Trish Bartholomew Hold on to what we hold dear As I enter into my second year of real estate sales in Rappahannock, I am becoming more aware of what we truly have in our county. I have sold property in many surrounding counties. Though they are very beautiful as well, there is something very special about Rappahannock, it’s like an island in a sea of change. Some may say we have to go with the times and to some extent we will. But Rappahannock has a magic about it that one cannot put into words. I found a quote in an old book about Rappahannock that I love. The original book, My Rappahannock Story Book, by Mary Elizabeth Hite, is hard to find just like the county it was written about. The quote is as follows: “I would that all the world could see springtime in a small bit of itself called Rappahannock. The earth is carpeted over with deep green grass and the sweetness of apple blossoms is in the air. I said, “Thank God for the peace and beauty of the hills.” “A mocking bird outside my window, trilled a song of praise, as though in answer to my thoughts.” In these days and times we should do our best to hold on to with all our hearts this place called Rappahannock.

Admittedly Fauquier County is beautiful and also is billed as “business friendly”—actually “development friendly” of late and soon to be shy of enough schools to go around. Fauquier still ranks higher in private land easements than Rappanhannock but you wouldn’t know it by driving through. It is getting harder and harder to have a peaceful constitutional—just try crossing the street in Old town Warrenton. It was a nice compliment to have Fauquier County named the Best Place to Live in Rural America . But this sort of acclhim can have the unwanted hard result of setting off a daisy-chain of things not so welcome to our countryside way of life. There are those who would welcome some growth in Rappahannock, but not at the cost of sprawling unaffordable subdivision growth, which destroys this county’s way of life and drives the average homeowner’s taxes up as it has in Fairfax, Prince William and recently in Loudoun over the past half-century. Remember Oregon? After being similarly recognized not long ago, its well-meaning governor had signs posted on every highway entering the state, “Come, visit, but please don’t stay.” The result was a tsunami rolling in from across the nation to build in Oregon. The governor quickly, but almost too late, had the signs taken down. Fauquier County has done very well with its Comprehensive Plan in restraining growth to its service districts. Rappahannock County will undoubtedly struggle in the years ahead but to date the vast majority of its citizenry as well as elected and appointed officials believe that Rappahannock is a unique place to live and needs to be intrinsically protected. We should be quietly proud of our neighbor’s recognition, note the reason for this award and continue to look forward in Rappahannock to a policy of planned, controlled and affordable growth. Hopefully developers won’t be playing Centex Chinese checkers any time soon in Rappahannock.

Virginia today Pholp courtesy of John Reid Allen is pictured with troops from the 111th. Field Artillery. “During my visit to Iraq, I had the pleasure of meeting with members of the Virginia National Guard stationed in Iraq, including the 111th Field Artillery, the 129th Field Artillery and the 3647th Maintenance Company,” said Senator Allen. “It’s always an invigorating experience spending time with the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who risk and sacrifice so much to keep us safe and defend our freedoms. The patriots I visited with in Iraq are truly some of the finest that our nation has to offer and I’m so proud of the way they represent Virginia and America. These troops and their fellow soldiers throughout Iraq and Afghanistan are all American heroes and they’re leading the charge in the War on Terror. They have helped bring forth historic freedom to the long repressed people of Iraq and I told them all how proud we are of their service and dedication. I know that we all wish them Godspeed as they continue with their treacherous duty overseas.” Letters Communities will end up bearing costs of Medicaid cuts While advancing freedom worldwide has become a top foreign policy goal, here at home, millions of Americans face the loss of the most basic freedoms under budget cuts proposed by President George Bush. * The most devastating of those cuts would slash $60 billion from the Medicaid program, a federal-state healthcare program that serves, among others, those who have low incomes and experience mental illness. Untreated mental illness robs many people of the most basic aspects of freedom, freedom to participate fully in the community. Yet the administration’s proposal would rip apart the Medicaid safety net that now provides needed mental health treatment to millions who have no other sources of care, and would expose them to cuts in services or outright denials of care. For many with mental illness, such a policy choice could result in job loss, school failure, family breakup, homelessness, and even suicide. In addition to cutting federal Medicaid funding, the President’s budget calls for fundamentally changing the Medicaid program. Rather than meeting the needs of all beneficiaries, Medicaid — under the budget proposal — would retreat from its commitment to some of these people — many of whom have disabilities, high medical costs, and incomes at or below the poverty level. Administration spokesmen indicate that likely targets will be needy individuals they dismiss as mere “optional beneficiaries,” as though they have the option not to have a chronic illness or disability. These proposals would place many who have mental illnesses at profound risk. A Medicaid cut is tantamount to a cut in mental health services, because Medicaid is the single largest source of financing for mental health care. Medicaid provides over half of state and local spend ing on mental health services, covering critical services including hospital care, outpatient treatment, psychosocial rehabilitation, and prescription drug coverage. Cuts to Medicaid are not new. .But too often, mental health services are among the first to be slashed. Such cuts have reduced crucial benefits, increased out-of-pocket costs for the poor and near-poor, and restricted access to desperately needed medications. In urging Congress to savage the Medicaid program, President Bush is retreating from a key goal in his State of the Union Address — to provide “families greater access to good coverage and more control over their health decisions.” Plainly, the President’s Medicaid policies would have just the opposite effect. New federal policies that make it more difficult for those with mental illness to get needed care and hold employment surely do not advance the “ownership society” and individual liberties this adminis tration seeks to foster. In addition to being extremely cruel and unfair to individuals with mental illness and other disabilities, Medicaid cuts are fiscally irresponsible. Limiting Medicaid services would not reduce costs, but simply transfer them to already overburdened hospital emergency rooms, homeless shelters, or even jails. Clearly, our communities will bear the costs the federal government seeks to shirk. President Bush was right when he said the choices we make today'will determine the type o{ society we leave for our children and grandchildren. What kind of society is it that would turn its back on people who need care for a mental illness? Surely that is not the legacy we want to give future generations, or the vision of freedom we want to uphold.

Sperryville puts out the welcome mat for new attorney Attorney Kyra Howell is hanging out her shingle at 31 Main Street in Sperryville. The general law practice handles wills, trusts, real estate closings, civil litigations, and domestic cases. Howell, who received her degree from Fordham Law School in New York, has been practicing law for 8 years. She is licensed to practice in New York, Washington D.C., and Virginia. She moved to Sperryville 39 years ago after she and her husband, who had been living in Warrenton, visited the county and were immediately hooked. “We fell in love with the area,” said Howell. Since moving to Rappahannock County, she has commuted into Washington D.C. to practice law. The birth of her first child in October served as the impetus for her decision to move her practice closer to home. Besides wanting to be near her newborn son, Howell also saw moving her law practice to Sperryville as a way to get more involved in the community and to get to know her neighbors. Howell plans to bring workshops to Sperryville on topics such as “What you need to know about wills and trusts’ and ‘Starting a business- what kind of entity do you need to be.’ The location and time of these workshops has not yet been determined as they are still in the planning stages, however, Howell will announce that information to the public as soon as it becomes available. The new law office is open by appointment 9-5 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Please call 540987-8380 for more information Sperryville Nancy Ostinato 987-8444 oldsperryvillebookshop@igide.net or to schedule an appointment. Chester Gap community banquet is a huge success There was plenty of food and fun for all this past Saturday at the community banquet and fire department awards dinner. If you’re a lover of down home country cooking and good old time fellowship you couldn’t have asked for any better. Eveiyone had a great time catching up with family, friends, and neighbors among the near 70 people that came. Of those attending, there were a few honored guests such as Rappahannock County Supervisor Roger Welch and his wife along with Chief of the Flint Hill Fire Department, Bruce Wiliams and his wife as well as Deputies Heather Fadley and Neil Pennington of the Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office. Coming from the Warren County side were Warren County Fire Chief Richard Mabie and his family as well as Chief of the Front Royal Fire Department Junior Kisner and his wife.

Randy Simpson visits Chester Gap Baptist Church As the pastor and several other members were out of town this week the congrega tion was treated to some wonderful singing from Mr. Randy Simpson formerly of the group , know as the Brothers. Randy put on an outstanding performance and even brought the congregation to tears with his telling of the passing of the Pillsbury DoughBoy. Randy is a great talent and all look forward to his return to our little ^ church. Also worthy of mention was the small narration by Deacon Ronald Morris who portrayed the final hours and thoughts of Judas.

Salem Volunteer Fire Department welcomes young volunteers The Salem Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department has recently welcomed some young junior members to their squads. Heather Plemmons, a 15-year-old year junior member said there are reasons to be strict about new laws, but they do make it harder for young people to volunteer. Another young volunteer, 16-year-old Angel Hitt, said that younger volunteers need to understand there are certain calls coming in that are harder to deal with.The department has another junior volunteer, Trey Martin, also 16, who said that perhaps volunteering with the Salem Department will help him to decide on his career plans in the years to come. All of these young people are very active in the fund raising efforts and we wish for them and the department the very best, as there is no way to put a price tag on the work done by our emergency personnel. It was good to see Mr. and Mrs. Robert Van Nostrand out shopping at Wal-Mart last Thursday afternoon, especially Mr. Robert, who has greatly improved since suffering a stroke last year.

Neighbors and friends of Scrabble School meet On Saturday, Feb. 12, the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation hosted a public meeting at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Scrabble. A score of neighbors and friends attended, expressing their concerns and ideas about the structure and property’s future use. Mrs. Evelyn Dellinger’s comment best indicated the mood of the attendees, “I want the school to be like it was—a place we can be proud of. This is a very special place and should be so again.” Others suggested varied possible uses while noting the effort involved to make their ideas happen. Foundation president, Bob Lander, related the current Board of Supervisors’ consensus to allow the Foundation one year to develop and present a plan for the structure and property—reported in the “Rappahannock News”, Nov. 4, 2004 edition. The Foundation, for over a year, has been following the outline developed by E. Franklin Warner, alumnus of the school, to gamer support for the school’s preservation and reuse. Neighbor, and architect, Tbm Tepper made a preliminary survey of the building in 1996, finding it to be relatively sound and salvageable. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is consulting with the group in its effort to locate and preserve these structures throughout the south, which were so important to educating children before the civil rights laws enacted in the mid1960’s. Lander noted that although several alumni are serving as Foundation directors, many of our current neighbors attended Scrabble School over its 40 years of operation. “Hopefully the local alumni will contact us and offer their thoughts, time and talents to make this historic site viable again,” he said. The 2003 county sponsored survey of historic structures discovered the historic nature of the school. The school was built with a County Roadside and River Bank Clean-up set There will be a county wide roadside and river bank cleanup focus during the month of March, and all county residents and property owners are encouraged to participate in this annual effort to help main tain a clean and beautiful Rappahannock.

Inspiring by Randy Minter EXPLAINING DEATH TO YOUNGSTERS Children who experience loss need the help of adults to provide them with accurate explanations to their questions and to listen to their feelings and fears. Because grief in children is compounded by a lack of understanding, parents are urged to avoid euphemisms in their explanations and speak directly and frankly. This will help children, who think in very concrete terms, to come to understand and accept death. As far as attending the funeral is concerned, children should be given the option to do so as long as they a^e told exactly what to expect beforehand. While children may seem fine initially, their grief can be longlasting, with the experience of sadness and anger lasting weeks,* months, or years. Children need explanations that are appropriate to their questions and age level. Adults sometimes feel awkward so say little, but children understand sadness and also experience loss, so talking with them helps them deal with those experiences.

SILVER MEDAL: Below, Weasel Hill Farm cyser won the silver medal in the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out competition, held in Minneapolis. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck Amissville cyser wins Silver Medal By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Not many people know what cyser is, but it is being made right here in Rappahannock County. Cyser is a mead-like beverage with its roots in Scotland and Ireland. It is made from apples and honey, water and yeast, and has a light amber color. Weasel Hill gets their apples from local farms, and their honey from local stands in Sperryville. Jan Davis and George Farrar, the owners of Weasel Hill Farm in Amissville, never dreamed that their cyser would win the Silver Medal. This was the first competition they had entered, competing with about 20 other cysers from across the country. A month ago, Davis and Farrar decided to enter their cyser in the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out competition - in Minneapolis knowing it was only their second year of making the cyser. With the faith they had in their product, they won the silver medal. Weasel Hill Farm cyser is described as off-dry and crisp, gently effervescent with the scents of apples, citrus and honey. If everything goes right with the process, making a batch usually takes between three and four weeks. Then it takes almost a year of aging for it to produce the mellow flavors of cyser. It is served cold. Old fashioned apples Davis and Farrar are going to plant about 100 old fashioned cider apples trees on their farm this spring; George Wilson is helping them to select the right trees. This will include some of the same kind of apples Thomas Jefferson grew at Monticello. Cider apples are very different than , eating or “dessert” apples. Some apples that make good hard cider taste like ear wax. The best kind of apples are crab apples. Davis and Farrar may even get some beehives, and make their own honey on the farm. “That the whole process has been a lot of fun,” said Farrar. Weasel Hill Farm cannot sell their product just yet, since they have to go through the licensing process. Their goal is to start a smallscale commercial production within the next two years, hoping to sell to the local retailers and restaurants, marketing their cyser as yet another unique Rappahannock County product. Davis added that she learns something new about cyser eveiy day, and thinks it will be a great product for Rappahannock County. % EXPERIENCED Our agents have a combined total of over 100 years of real estate experience Frank Hardy, Inc.

Rappahannock tsunami relief efforts continue as schools, churches and organizations step forward By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News With their recent joint visits to South Asia, former presidents Bill Clinton and George H. Bush have refocused the global spotlight on the needs of survivors of the devastating tsunami of December 26. Joining in this effort with the belief that even their small contributions can make a difference, Rappahannock citizens are donating in various ways to this world-wide effort. Rappahannock students, in particular, are enthusiastic about helping other less fortunate children who became orphans and homeless because of the devastation. One school has “adopted” an orphanage in Sri Lanka to help it rebuild. Other’s are holding bake sales and other events to raise funds. Chinches have urged their members to contribute to general and specific funds, usually through their churches’ international missionary arrangements. One recent successful example is the variety show sponsored by the Washington Baptist Church that raised over $700 for this campaign. And, at least one recently-established volunteer organization has raised a substantial sum of money in our area to assist victims in Thailand. Wakefield County Day School Wakefield Country Day School began its efforts to help its students understand the tsunami disaster in South Asia and to raise funds for relief in early January. Seventh grade geography students even made a CD on the tsunami as part of a project to help other students understand where the disaster hit and the damage that it did. Tb date, Wakefield students with their paper Chain of Hearts, each heart representing a minimum donation of $.50 PENNYWISE: Fundraisers at Rappahannock County High School discuss the school’s ‘Tsunami Cents” campaign. Pictured from left to right are Clay Vickers, Allison Antony, and Paula Raney. cents, have already raised nearly $1,200 These funds will be channeled through the Rappahannock-based Thailand Tsunami Relief Organization which is planning to “adopt a village” in Thailand. Hearthstone School According to Jane Mullan, head of Hearthstone School in Sperryville, the student’s “Garage and Bake Sale” at the end of January raised almost $1,000 dollars for the tsunami relief effort. The funds raised will be donated to help rebuild an orphanage destroyed by the tsunami in Sri Lanka. Ms. Mullan proudly notes that “a long term goal of the students is to send representatives of the school itself to help in the actual rebuilding next year.” Rappahannock County Public Schools There are two competing student groups at the Rappahannock County High School working to raise funds for the tsunami relief effort, as well as an ongoing campaign at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. At the high school, the RCHS’s Student Council Association’s Tsunami Cents” campaign has placed large and brightly decorated water cooler bottles around the school to collect student dona Photos by Richard Lykes SWEET SUCCESS: High school student leaders Victor RogersPhilips (left) and Vanessa Dunn (right) helped raise nearly $1,000 at the Garage and Bake sale at Hearthstone School. tions. Another group of students in the “Leo Club,” sponsored by the Rappahannock Lion’s Club, has started a competing “Penny War” campaign to collect student donations throughout the month of F ebruary. In addition, there is an ongoing campaign in the elementary school to encourage its students to contribute to the tsunami relief appeal. A report on their efforts is expected soon. Thailand Tsunami Relief Organization A group of about 30 Rappahannock County residents met on Januaiy 18 for a meeting at the Tbwn Hall of Washington to learn more about the work of a new organization set up to channel funds to Thailand and help in its recovery efforts. A hands-on report of what that country is doing to cope with the tsunami disaster, and how those needs can be matched by donations being offered, was given by Songsak Saicheua, Minister-Counselor of the Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. Mr. Saicheua was invited to Rappahannock County by the Thailand Tsunami Relief Organization (TTRO), a group established last month by Alaina and Marc Cugnon of Flint Hill. The TTRO hopes to “adopt” a small fishing village in Phuket by providing seed money to get these villagers back on their feet economically. This may include helping replace lost housing, schoolrooms, and first aid facilities and other reconstruction projects. The Thai Ambassador to the U.S. who is traveling in the southern part of his country to assess what needs to be done, expects to issue a report shortly. As Ms. Cugnon told the gathering, “It is just a ‘drop in the bucket,’ but it is our drop in the bucket and an opportunity to participate in this very worthy humanitarian effort.” lb date, over $10,000 dollars has been contributed to this appeal. All interested individuals who would like to assist, either with donations or technical expertise, are urged to call Alaina Cugnon at (540) 631-0174. CARING QUILT: Children from Ms. Nixon’s elementary class hold up the quilt their class created to raise funds for tsunami relief. From left to right: Hana Salameh, Nikki Irwin, Dimitri Smith, and Emmy Boucher. Photo courtesy ot Mountain Laurel Montessori School Mountain Laurel Montessori Raises Over $2,800 for Tsunami Relief Efforts Students, parents, and teachers combined their talents. and resources to raise funds for tsunami disaster relief. Preschoolers decorated, collection boxes and donated their own savings. The elementary classes raffled-off a beautiful, hand-sewn quilt that the students and teachers created together. The farm school students auctioned-off pork products from one of their spring pigs. The PTO held a silent auction, cakewalk and lasagna dinner to raise even more funds. Such community support is not unusual at Mountain Laurel. According to Elaine Glier, school administrator, “As a school community, we have a responsibility to address the plight of those who are suffering. Children and adults alike have a spiritual need to reach out to those less fortunate, and a tragedy of this magnitude compels us all to act in an important, meaningful way.” After extensive research by Mountain Laurel’s farm school students, UNICEF has been chosen as the recipient of the school’s donation. Mountain Laurel Montessori School is a private, non-profit school. For more information, contact Elaine Glier at 540-636-4257 or mlml23@earthlink.net.

• Upcoming Events/B3 • Classifieds/B6-B10 February 24, 2005 Photographer Bruce Blundell premieres at Packing Shed Gallery By June E. Jordan Special to the Rappahannock News The Packing Shed Gallery of Washington, VA announces a new exhibition for the month of March entitled ‘Berlin Walls’ by photographer Bruce Blundell. The show explores Berlin’s evolving landscape through color photographs of memorial and historic sites in and around the city. The photographs, which focus on the sites that commemorate the tumultuous years between the Third Reich and the fall of the Berlin Wall, are accompanied by brief historical explanations. Intrigued by the impact of reunification and subsequent transformations in the cityscape, Blundell presents the viewer with powerful images of the material traces of political oppression, division and reconciliation over the past seventy years, and the profound ways in which walls remain an integral part of Berlin’s history and present. Blundell, a resident of Alexandria, Virginia, accompanied his wife, Professor Mary Beth Stein of George Washington University, for a year (2000-2001) to Berlin, where she conducted research on the legacy of persecution by the Stasi, or East German secret police. Professor Stein will give brief introductory remarks on the historical context of the exhibition’s photographs at 4:00 p.m. at the opening reception. In addition to ‘Berlin Walls,’ the gallery will also simultaneously present another exhibition by Blundell entitled ‘Natural Fairfax County.’ This series of large black and white photographs portrays intimate natural landscapes located entirely within Fairfax County, Virginia. ‘Berlin Walls’ and ‘Natural The Underground Library’ is part of Blundell’s Berlin Walls show. Fairfax County will be on exhibit at the Packing Shed Gallery from March 3-28, 2005. The public is invited to an opening reception scheduled for Sunday, March 6, from 2-6 pm. The gallery, located at Photos by Bruce Blundell “Gravel Bar, Pope’s Head Creek” is part of Blundell’s Natural Fairfax County show. the corner of Gay and Porter Streets, Washington, VA, is open Thursday through Monday from 12:30 to 7:00 pm. To contact the gallery, please call 540-675-3410. ONE/OFF returns to the Middle Street Gallery By Tucker Hill Special to the Rappahannock News The 23 artists of the ONE/OFF printmaking group are returning in March to the Middle Street Gallery to display their varied techniques, following well-received shows there in 2001 and 2003. “Visitors to the Middle Street Gallery show will have a chance to see how diverse and innovative the world of contemporary printmaking can be,” said ONE/OFF member, Mary Holland, Director of the Studio School at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. “Some of the printmakers combine such traditional media as etching with relief and photo-based elements to amazing effect.” The ONE/OFF Printmakers Show will be at the Gallery from March 4 through 27 with an artists’ reception on Sunday, March 6th, from 2:00-5:00 p.m. “We hope artists as well as art lovers will join us at the reception to meet the printmakers and discuss this large show of work,” Holland added. The Richmond-based group was organized in 1983 with the intention Photo courtesy of Tucker Hill “Native Sculpture” by Ephraim “Ed” Steinberg. Medium: Screen print of introducing the expressive possibilities of the various print media to a broader audience. Many of the artists are teachers at such Richmond area institutions such as the University of Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth University, Randolph Macon College, and their ages range from 30 to 70 something. The prints of ONE/OFF have been exhibited in England, Scotland, Canada, and South America as well as across the midAtlantic region. The Middle Street Gallery is located next to The Inn at Little Washington.

From the “About Schmidt” director Alexander Payne comes Payne’s latest effort in the film “Sideways.” Tbuted as perhaps the most talented director of his generation, Payne’s “Sideways” is bitter-sweet and full of humor that’s both gentle and raucous. Nominated in five categories for an Oscar including Best Actor and Actress in Supporting roles and Best Picture, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community is showing this film at The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday, March 4, 8:00 p.m. “Sideways” stars Paul Giamatti as Miles, a schoolteacher and failed novelist, who has not gotten over his divorce of two years, and Thomas Haden Church as Jack, a has-been TV actor, heading nervously into a marriage that should bring him much needed stability. Miles, a wine enthusiast with a nose for Pinot Noir and a distinct distaste for Merlot, takes Jack on a last fling the week before his wedding to the Santa Y. ez Valley for a tour of its finest vineyards, tasting rooms and restaurants. The two are as different as night and day. But the ex-college roommates have long ago bonded to form a prickly relationship in which sad-sack Miles brings a sense of responsibility and love for wine while the foolish Jack lends an irrepressible zest for life’s adventures. The pair picks up wme-sawy waitress Maya (Virginia Madsen) and Stephanie (Sandra Oh) ‘Sideways’ stars Thomas Haden Church, left, and Paul Giamatti, right, and will be shown at The Theatre in Washington, VA, Friday, March 4, 8:00 p.m. who is a single mom working in a tasting room who pours wine for tourists. Jack fails to mention his impending nuptials to Stephanie. Miles reacts so badly to news that his ex has remarried that he can barely concentrate on Maya, eager to forget her own divorce. Church, best known for TV’s “Wings” and “Ned and Stacey” takes this breakthrough movie role and runs with it, nailing Jack’s rude charm and quiet desperation. Giamatti, tops among American character actors, has never been better. He’s hilarious and heartbreaking. And Madsen is a revelation. The years have made her beauty richer and her grasp of character more subtle and affecting. Payne’s script is a beautiful example of writing on two levels at once. Much of the wine discussion is quite knowledgeable about viniculture, but it really relates to deeper emotional issues within the characters. When Miles expresses his love for Pinot Noir because it is “thin-skinned and temperamental and needs constant care and attention,” there is no doubt why he identifies with such a grape. When Maya waxes eloquent about why she loves the evolution of wine, she is really exploring the vicissitudes of life, its peaks and valleys. The location of the film is perfect. Payne depicts the Santa Ynez area, its hangouts, communities and wineries, in a way that captures the spirit of the place and how that spirit affects his characters. “Sideways” is rated R for violence, with extreme obscenity and sexual scenes, nudity and pot smoking. Run time is 124 minutes. Cello and Piano Recital I By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News The Theatre at Washington, Virginia continues its presentation of classical chamber music performed by fine professional musicians with a concert for cello and piano on Saturday, March 5, 2005 at 8 p.m. The program includes the Sonata in D Major for violin and piano by Franz Schubert, arranged for cello by R. Mushabac, Variations on a Theme of Paganini by Gregor Piatigorsky, and three short works by the nineteenth century Austrian composer and cellist David Popper. Award winning cellist Regina Mushabac performs as recitalist and soloist with orchestras throughout the United States, and in Europe, Central America and South America. She was winner of the prestigious Concert Artists Guild Award, and has received numerous other awards. She has trained with some of the most distinguished contemporary cellists at Juilliard with Leonard Rose and Bernard Greenhouse. Later she became teaching assistant to Janos Starker at Indiana University, who says of her “. . . a superb cellist and musician, a rare artist . . . among the most outstanding of her generation.” In addition to keeping up a busy performance schedule, Mushabac is professor of cello at the Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory of Music in Cleveland. Like Mushabac, Nancy Paddleford also studied music at Indiana University and teaches music at the university level, while continuing to give concerts both in this country and in Europe.

True to the billing, the “Master of OneLiners” entertained and charmed a sold-out crowd with one hilarious joke after another. Russell’s new and timely jokes figuratively covered the waterfront as he joked about politics and politicians, social and religious trends and taboos, and jesting about himself. The jokes and songs came so fast and were so funny that many were quickly forgotten as the audience began laughing at the next joke. Losing no time in warming up to , his audience, Russell declared, “It’s nice to be here in Washington, Virginia. This is, after all, the “First Washington of them all.” Poking good-natured fun at where he was, Russell quickly added, “Of course, it has been my life-long ambition to appear on stage at “The” Theatre in Washington, Virginia. Is there another?” Photo by Richard Lykes TRADEMARK POSE: Political satirist Mark Russell performed before a sold-out crowd at The Theatre. Working up to a second punch line, Russell speculated as to why people would drive two hours from Big Washington just to have dinner in this little town. He asked the audience, “Do you all have any good eating spots here?” When the hilarity died down (with Chef Patrick O’Connell and co-owner Reinhardt Lynch leading the laughter), Russell said in deadpan humor, “Oh yes, I remember now . . . you have The’ Inn at Little Washington, with its $32.00 croissants . ..!” Begging for more As he continued, Russell left his audience laughing and crying for more. The jokes came fast and furiously. Asked to remember some of them, most people drew a blank. It is all a blur now. Still, some of the jokes were remembered. With the disclaimer that no one could possibly remember all the jokes, much less accurately, here is a sampling of several of the funny stories that people remembered. Many of Russell’s jokes, of course, were purely political where he picked up on wellknown news stories. One example was a joke about the “Coalition of the Willing.” He noted that 43 nations joined our Coalition to defeat Saddam Hussein, including Poland that sent 1,000 troops, Great Britain that provided 10,000 soldiers, Bulgaria that contributed soup, and Guyana that sent a Steel Drum Band.” Half political and half dou- • ble-entendre jokes were de rigueur. Russell recalled the 1992 election between Dole, Clinton, and Perot. He confessed that, “I voted for Perot so I could have continuing good material for my skits. Never did I know . . .” Risky business Of course, there were a few risqu6 jokes that were only barely double-entendre and will not be repeated here. However, it can be noted that there was a “Monica” joke which some in the audience did not readily understand. Then, in a hilarious aside, Russell added, “I’m so proud of all you folks that didn’t get this joke!” And laughter broke out all over again. Theatregoer Gwen Hays summed up what distinguished this event for many of us in our small rural setting. “The unique experience of attending a Mark Russell performance without hassles is worth gold. No parking atten dants, no looking over your shoulder for a mugger, friendly greetings by your fellow theater attendees, walking to your car under the shine of Orion, it just keeps going!” Should Russell grace the stage at The Theatre again, reserve your tickets early!

Piedmont United Way seeks allocation volunteers In late January the Piedmont United Way (PUW) began sending out applications to agencies that will be requesting funding in 2005. PUW is asking for general public input into the distribution of funds. According to PUW Executive Director, Warren J. McKeen, “An Allocations Panel makes the decisions as to what organizations are funded and at what levels. The Allocation Panel will be comprised of PUW Board Members, major donors, and members of the public who are stakeholders in the charitable process. We are seeking a total of 15 volunteers from our communities in each of the five counties to serve on the panel.” The counties are: Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock. Participation on the Allocation and Budget Panel is one of the most important tasks a United Way contribu tor and volunteer can undertake. Each year many local agencies apply to receive funding from the United Way. This panel is responsible for reviewing those requests and making recommendations for funding to the Board of Directors. The criteria utilized for selecting programs for funding needs for the next year is based on: A. the agency’s mission (integrity, accountability, purpose) B. the service demand and assistance provided by the agency C. the service impact on the local community, and D. the outcome of that service By volunteering to serve on the panel an individual can help to provide community input. Volunteers will be assisting the Piedmont United Way in its mission of the stewardship of contributed funds. This experience gives insight into how health and human service agencies utilize donated funding in our communities. The assistance of volunteers is vital to Piedmont United Way’s collaborative efforts to foster an environment of ethical conduct and public trust in the organization. The volunteer commitment will encompass a morning training session to be held on Saturday, April 2, a severalday review process of agencies in mid April and a full session on Saturday, May 14, 2005. The commitment of time to participate may seem daunting, but the satisfaction of being part of an organization that does so much in the interest of community good is beyond measure. For more information or to volunteer please contact the Piedmont United Way at 540825-7615 or via email at: wjmckeen@piedmontunitedway.or g the organization does have a cut-off date of: March 15, 2005.

Kilgore looks to reunite Republicans in election year Transportation to figure heavily in bid for governor By Dominic Bonailto Rappahannock News Staff Writer Republican Jerry Kilgore says it is time Virginia starts investing in transportation like it does for so many other quality-of-life issues. Kilgore, the former state attorney general and leading Republican candidate for governor, wants to tap into the state’s general fund—that pot of tax dollars typically reserved for spending on such staples as schools, public safety and mental health services. State aid for those and similar programs has increased alongside general fund spending, which has nearly doubled in the last decade, Kilgore noted in a recent interview with Times editors and reporters. But transportation spending has lagged woefully behind. “I’d rather spend those dollars on something we can see rather than a new program,” Kilgore said. “Whether it’s a family budget or the state budget, it’s about setting priorities, and I want to make transportation a priority for this commonwealth.” Kilgore said the gasoline surcharge already collected to maintain the highway network is simply not enough to keep up with the growing demand. I He did not specify how .much money he is considering -or from where it might come ~from, but he said annual ^.growth in the general fund .should be enough to limit the ;pain of cuts or revisions to ^spending. - Former governors and leg islatures have tapped the general fund to supplement transportation spending, but only sparingly, saying it creates too much competition with other critical needs. Tackling the Techway One project Kilgore suggested moving quickly is the oft-debated third Potomac River crossing, better known in these parts as the Techway. He said Virginia needs to move now with a receptive, Republican governor in Maryland, “or I don’t think it will get done.” “We have just as many Marylanders working in Virginia and vice versa, and we all have to get around this region,” Kilgore said. If elected, he said he would work with the Maryland governor to pick a route “and say to localities, ‘We’re coming through. It’s necessary to this region. If you don’t want an exit ramp in your locality, fine. We’ll blow right over you, but we’ve .got to move people that are just going northsouth through this region more quickly.’” Kilgore said he would support tolls to help pay for the new roadway and bridge, which have been studied in recent years but proved too controversial to advance. Returning to Republican roots He said the Republican Party has come together, after last year’s messy infighting, just in time for the November elections, when voters will not IN THE RUNNING: Jerry Kilgore resigned his post as Virginia’s attorney general to campaign as a Republican candidate for governor. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Randy Litzinger only elect a new governor but also a lieutenant governor, attorney general and all 100 members of the House of Delegates. “Our party is back to fighting on its principles,” he said. “This has been a tax cutting session and not a tax increase session, and it’s all been led by Republicans.” He pointed to efforts by the legislature’s Republican leadership to accelerate a planned reduction in the sales tax on food and eliminate a controversial practice of collecting year-end sales taxes from certain businesses a month before they are due. There was even a brief attempt to revive the costly car-tax phaseout, which could once again become a campaign issue eight years after it propelled the last Republican governor, Jim Gilmore, into office. Ironically, the cost of that popular tax break, which ballooned three times the original estimates, led to last year’s rift between the party’s anti-tax conservatives and its fiscal moderates, who supported Democratic Gov. Mark Warner’s push to raise $1.5 billion in new revenue, mostly for education. He’s not alone Kilgore has already corralled support from Virginia’s big-name conservatives, including both U.S. senators and all eight U.S. representatives, not to mention the most recent Republican governor. Just don’t tell that to the two men thinking about challenging him in a June primary Warrenton Mayor George Finch; a businessman who Photo courtesy ot Thomas V Baldwin 2nd Lt. Thomas V. Baldwin 2nd Lt. Baldwin graduates Infantry Officer Basic Course 2nd Lt. Thomas V. Baldwin, son of Paul and Cucie Baldwin of Washington, recently graduated from the US Army Infantry Officer Basic Course on Sept. 28, 2004. The four month long IOBC School emphasized a wide array of military operations—combined arms tactics to include: tactical doctrine and operations, air assault operations, military operations on urban terrain, artillery, engineer, NBC operations, and field training exercises. 2nd Lt. Baldwin excelled in weapon marksmanship qualification (M4, M203, M249, and M240B), land navigation testing and leading a 40-man platoon in mock combat missions. The course culminated with a 9day field exercise that focused on urban/city operations to also include hasty ambushes, cordon and search, and a 20 mile tactical march to destroy an enemy strongpoint. 2nd. Lt. Baldwin was awarded the Infantry blue cord, the Army Service Ribbon, and the Army Physical Fitness award. He is currently an Infantry platoon leader with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division (Light Fighters) based in Roanoke, Virginia. Great Prices Every Day!

A professed moderate, Potts voted for last year’s tax restructuring package, which increased some levies and lowered others. Kilgore said he is not paying much attention to challenges from within his own party, focusing his attention instead on the likely Democratic candidate, Tim Kaine, the current lieutenant governor. “Anyone is welcome to run in the primary. It’s an open primary,” Kilgore said. “I’m not trying to discourage anyone from running, but I feel confidant at this point that I’m going to be the nominee.” Photo by Shamis Fatzinger GOING FOR GOVERNOR?: Senator Russell Potts (RWinchester) contemplates joining the race. Sen. Potts considers running for governor By Philip Bogenberger Special to the Rappahannock News RICHMOND — If you thought the campaign to be the next Virginia governor was only a two-candidate race, then you were mistaken. The presumptive Democratic nominee, Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine, and the leading Republican candidate, former Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore, have other challengers seeking the commonwealth’s highest public office. Warrenton Mayor George Fitch has already announced that he will take on Kilgore for the Republican Party’s nomination. Now, an independent candidate may be emerging: State Sen. H. Russell Potts, RWinchester, is looking at a possible gubernatorial bid. “I will have an announcement soon,” Potts said. Noting that he has a wife, children and grandchildren, Potts said the decision would be made in concert with his family’s desires. “It will be a family decision,” he said. “We have a lot to think about.” Potts, chairman of the Senate Health and Education Committee, is taking the steps toward a possible race for statewide office. He created the Vision for Virginia committee to explore such a bid. The committee has raised about $64,000 and has more than $42,000 on hand, according to the Virginia n Public Access Project, a nonprofit group that compiles campaign finance data. The Kaine and Kilgore campaigns each have raised more than $5 million and have more than $3 million on hand. Potts has retained Thomas J. D’Amore Jr., who has experience in running independent candidates’ campaigns for public office. He helped former Republican Lowell P. Weicker Jr. win the governorship of Connecticut as an independent in 1990. D’Amore also was an adviser to former Colorado Governor Richard Lamb in his run against H. Ross Perot for the Reform Party presidential nomination six years later. Kaine said he has a lot of respect for Potts. “I get along great with him,” Kaine said. “If he wants to join in (the race), I welcome it.” Kaine added that Potts' possible run for governor would not change the issues he will focus on. “This campaign is about fiscal responsibility and leadership,” Kaine said Carrie Cantrell, spokesperson for Kilgore, expressed similar sentiments. “We respect any individual who wants to participate in the democratic process,” Cantrell told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “But our opponent in this race is Tim Kaine.” I MARKET LEADERS Since 2002, we have handled 25% of all real estate sold in the county, more than twice as much as any other firm.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clevenger: A Remembrance Clevenger’s legacy ... from motel to metropolis By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News In the 1950s, Clevenger’s Restaurant was the place to be. In fact, it is the main reason why the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229 in Culpeper County is now known as Clevenger’s Comer. Locals from Rappahannock, Culpeper and Fauquier Counties would sometimes have to wait to get into the restaurant, where a statuesque Mrs. Clevenger would preside over her flock, meeting and greeting people, sitting down with them to catch up on the latest news, and introducing people to other people. Those of a “certain age” remember the good food and family atmosphere, and especially the personality of Mrs. Clevenger, also known as “Mrs. Clev.” But her husband, Charlie Clevenger, “Mr. Clev,” was the one who made it all possible. If his wife wanted a family restaurant, she shall have it. If she wanted a motel for travelers, one would be built for her. Charlie, a modest man, quiet and easy going, was forever sitting back, somewhat baffled at what Mrs. Clevenger would do with these entrepreneurial adventures. In a recent afternoon-long interview with people who knew the Clevengers well, it was evident that Charlie and Bertha Clevenger had made a deep impression on them. Rose Marie Martin, a young teenager in the early 1950s, and her mother, Marie Meadows, who worked as a waitress at the restaurant, were close friends of the Clevengers. So was • Rose Marie’s husband, William H. Martin. Harry Racey, a foster son of the Clevengers, and Harry’s wife, Shirley, who also worked for Mrs. Clevenger as a waitress, were full of stories about Charlie and Bertha. We all sat around a kitchen table in the Martin’s home in Culpeper, and they reminisced about things that happened 50 years ago, while looking through photo albums and sharing other mementos of the time. Served in WWI Charles A. Clevenger was bom November 22, 1896, and served in World War I in Company E, 19th Engineers, U.S. Army. He once mentioned to Harry Racey that during his service in France, he was a driver for then-Colonel George S. Patton (later General Patton), who by the end of the war was in charge of the U.S. Army Tank Corps. After the war, Charlie Clevenger spent most of his career with the Veteran’s Administration, retiring in 1948 after 28 years of service. First ‘weekenders’ Bertha, who preferred to be called “Jane,” was Charlie’s second wife. Bom in 1905, her father was a coal-miner in Welch, West Virginia. No one could remember how Charlie and Bertha met, or when they married, but they did move to Amissville about 1937, according the Harry Racey. A 1944 newspaper item mentions they had purchased the Isaiah-Corbin farm in Amissville a few years before, had made many improvements, and planned to spend weekends there. Charlie appears to have been one of Charlie and Bertha Clevenger would certainly be surprised to know how their name was being freely used a half-a century later. Amissville’s first long-distance “weekenders.” In 1946, he would make the drive to the city—all spiffed up in a suit and tie, in his brand-new Chrysler Windsor. After Charlie retired in 1948, he and Bertha operated the Cab Inn, along U.S. 211 west of Sperryville. It was then a complex of a gas station, restaurant, and.tourist cabins. The Clevengers next moved to New Baltimore in Fauquier County, and lived on a farm there, but eventually they zeroed in on the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229 in Culpeper County, as a good place to set up their own business. yju ivi <xy tilt; Clevengers bought Kilby’s filling station and four acres of land where the current Shell Station is located. They paid $11,500 for the property. It was here that Charlie let Bertha have her dream of running a family restaurant and motel. On the left, in a building no longer standing, Charlie would sit at a cash register behind a plate glass window that said “Clevenger’s Grocery Store.” He watched over the two Esso gas pumps out front and sold groceries, ice cream, soft drinks, cigarettes, and candy. On the right was the service station garage where Harry Racey worked as a mechanic after serving in the U. S. States Navy from 1949 to 1953. In the middle, behind a large plate glass window that said, “Clevenger’s Restaurant,” Mrs. Clevenger reigned supreme. Welcome to Clevenger’s One can imagine an evening meal back then, with soft music floating out from a jukebox—“Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “Autumn Leaves,” or “Moonglow” andthe theme from “Picnic” being popular at the time. Customers entered through an arched doorway ■from the grocery store, and Mrs. Clevenger—fashionably dressed, diamond rings sparkling, and her hair swept up into a French twist—would take them in hand, welcoming them to her domain. Mrs. Clevenger also had a penchant for white Cadillac DeVilles, getting a new one about every two years. The restaurant seated a little more than two-dozen people. There were threr redand-white leatherette joths along a far wall, and e on the inner wall next to the grocery store.

The waitress is most likely Marie Meadows. back. Mrs. Ramey and a Miss Weaver were in the kitchen, and Marie Meadows worked as a waitress and also made hot rolls and pies. The meals were excellent. Shrimp-in-a-basket, a cup of coleslaw, and French fries cost 99 cents. A favorite of Rose Marie Meadows was the Mountaintop Salad, consisting of two deviled crabs, coleslaw, Lima beans, and a tossed salad with cottage cheese and blue cheese dressing. It went for $1.25 (about $9 in today’s money). Another bestseller was the rib eye steak. At 5 p.m., the State Police would usually stop by, and they received a special rate for their meals. If the restaurant was crowded, people would wait at a table in the general store, visiting with Mr. Clevenger. They might even continue a conversation after their meal in the same place. Good food, good friends, no rush. A four-room motel was added about 1953, away from the restaurant area. But soon there were problems with the water and sewer systems, and the establishment was sold in the late 1950s. The Clevengers then moved to Culpeper and took charge of the dining room at the Lord Culpeper Hotel. Clevenger’s Restaurant, though, continued at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229 under new management by “the Duntons” or “the Duttons”—the names vary in ads in the Rappahannock News of 1959. On to Culpeper It was in the dining room of the Lord Culpeper Hotel in late 1959 that Mrs. Clevenger, the impeccable hostess, brought over a cup of coffee one evening and sat down with the Martins after they had finished their meal. She told them of her latest dream—opening a new restaurant in the Town of Culpeper. There was immediate enthusiasm for the idea, but she needed a catchy name. After many false starts, William (“Willie”) Martin, Rose Marie’s husband, suggested “The Pelham House,” for Major John Pelham, CSA (“The Gallant Pelham”), who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Kelly's Ford in March 1863, during the Civil War. Over the next week or so, Mrs. Clevenger tried this out on a number of people, and iCLEVENOEirs motel I OOD STOP OVER: The Clevenger’s Motel sign could easily be seen along Route 211. they all liked the name. With backing, The Pelham House Rest&urant was soon constructed and had a grand opening on Friday, April 15, 1960. Regular hours were 6 a.m. until 11 p.m. Virginia Racey began as a waitress almost immediately, and became a good friend of the Clevengers. . The restaurant flourished, but tragedy struck on September 14, 1960, when Charlie Clevenger died while at the restaurant. Mrs. Clevenger carried on for a while, but eventually sold the business. While under new ownership, the restaurant burned to the ground on August 14, 1971. A McDonald’s restaurant now occupies the site. About the same time, Mrs. Clevenger moved to St. Petersburg, Florida. She passed away there on November 5, 1989, as she was entering a nursing home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clevenger are buried in Hillcrest Memory Gardens Cemetery in Jeffersonton.

Culpeper County calls the intersection of U.S. 211 and 229 “the Village Center at Clevenger’s Corner.” Developers, businesses, Web sites, newspaper headlines, etc. all invoke the name Clevenger— and Centex Homes, in an early proposal, called its village Main Street “Clevenger’s Boulevard." But one thing is for sure. No future restaurant in the area will be a traditional family restaurant, like Clevenger’s Restaurant. Times have just changed too much.
