127th Year ... No. 16 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 2005 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 CENTS Photos by Joe King FIRST SIGHTING: When Joe King of Flint Hill was returning home from a bluegrass 'pickin session’ at McCoy’s store in Stanley, he came upon a pickup truck engulfed in flames on Route 211 East, two miles south of Skyline Drive. Truck catches fire on mountain above Sperryville By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer While driving across the mountain on Route 211, from Luray toward Sperryville just after dusk Sunday evening, Joe King of Flint Hill first saw a fire blazing on the Luray side of the mountain, proceeded west and came upon a truck that was engulfed in flames. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” King said, “first a fire on one side of the mountain and then another on the other side.” Sperryville Fire and Rescue quickly responded to the call that described an automobile fire going east on Route 211 toward Skyline Drive. Before units could arrive, the truck fire spread to the horse trailer that it was pulling. Two children and a horse were removed before the truck and trailer were fully engulfed. The fire spread into the nearby woods and up the mountainside. “The owners said they noticed a See FIRE, Page A3 BLAZE SPREAD: The blaze traveled up the mountain for approximately one-half acre while firefighters attempted to contain the truck and trailer fire. Coach accused of sexual abuse Waymon Edwards arrested on charges in Rappahannock and Fauquier By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Waymon James Edwards, who has been coach of a number of girls basketball teams in the area, has been charged with the sexual abuse of a 16year-old girl in Fauquier County. Edwards, 29, of Warrenton, was arrested April 13 on a charge of “animate object sexual penetration” by Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Det. Fulton Lucas. Edwards was held in the Fauquier County Detention Center until Monday, when bond was posted. On Monday, April 18, the defendant appeared before Judge H. Dudley Payne, Jr. in Fauquier County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Edwards’ attorney, T. Huntley Thorpe, III pleaded for Edwards’ release on bond. Thorpe said, “This man has a clean past, Your Honor, it is interesting to look at this charge in light of his past,” Thorpe said, following his opening statement which spoke of Edwards’ honorable discharge from the United States Army, the fact that he lives with his parents and is currently a college student, pursuing his degree at Old Dominion University, through Lord Fairfax Community College. In rebuttal, Fauquier County’s Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Mike Costanza reminded the Court that the defendant is a “coach and mentor with a relationship — an inappropriate relationship,” who “molested, for lack of a better word, this 16-year-old girl.” Costanza requested that, if Edwards were to be released on bond, the court monitor him through Adult Court Services. Payne ordered a $10,000 bond for Edwards and added further conditions. The accused: • May have no contact with the victim in the case. • May have no contact with any females under the age of 18 years. • Is not allowed on the grounds of any school except Lord Fairfax Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jeanne Spath BOND SET: Local basketball coach Waymon Edwards was released on a $10,000 bond in Fauquier County. He faces numerous sexual allegations between Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties. Community College for his own college attendance. • Must continue living with his parents in Fauquier County. • Must be supervised by, Adult Court Services. Edwards will return to Fauquier County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on May 2 for a preliminary hearing on this charge. Allegations first surfaced in Rappahannock Allegations against Edwards first surfaced when a teen-aged girl confided in Kathleen Grove, headmistress of Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill, Va. that Edwards had made sexual advances toward her. “I am so proud of her for stepping forward,” Grove said, “that took a lot of courage and I am so glad that she felt like she could come to me with this.” Grove contacted the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department with the information. According to a statement by Mqj. Paul Mercer of the Fauquier County 66 I wish it had been brought before the magistrate here instead. Peter Luke Commonwealth Attorney Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation in Rappahannock revealed that the “animate object sexual penetration” offense was alleged to have taken place in Fauquier County on March 31, while Edwards was in the company of a 16year-old female. Charges in Rappahannock While Edwards was being released on bond in Fauquier County on Monday, the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department was preparing warrants for his arrest in Rappahannock, following an .investigation by Lt. Connie Smith. “This is very disappointing for this to happen in this county,” Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz said, “but we will get to the bottom of this.” The Fauquier County Sheriffs Office served Edwards with wprrsr’t'' for seven charges placed through the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department on Tuesday, but the Fauquier County magistrate released Edwards on his own personal recognizance. “We don’t have any control of the magistrate’s decision in another jurisdiction,” said Rappahannock County’s commonwealth attorney Peter Luke. “I wish it had been brought before the magistrate here instead.” Through the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, Edwards is implicated See EDWARDS, Page A3 Meetings & Notices • The Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) Board will meet on Sunday, April 24 at the Rappahannock library beginning at 5 p.m. RCCA members and the public are welcome to attend. • The Board of Supervisors’ Public Hearing on the Proposed 2005-06 School Budget will take place Monday, April 25 at 7 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. • On April 25 the Town of Washington will hold a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the Town Council at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall to continue the Comprehensive Plan review.

Sperryville Antique Mart gets new owners By Ruth Purnell Rappahannock News Staff Writer In the town of Sperryville, down a little road and over a one lane bridge is the Sperryville Antique Market. A place that has been selling antiques for almost 25 years now, the market has new owners. Paul and Kristal Stevenson bought the business this past February and are diligently working to make it their own. Previous owners Arthur and Peggy Smith decided it was time to retire after 24 years of hard work. Eager to make some changes, Kristal can be seen moving furniture, and reorganizing the market’s layout. The couple has several plans to update the business. Currently all the store’s inventory can be viewed online at the store’s web site www.sperryvilleantdques.com. Paul explains that they plan to keep the inventory updated so potential customers can see what the store has and the kinds of items it has had in the past. If you have your eye on something in particular Paul advises you to get it while you can as 90 percent of the pieces sell in a matter of days.

New Planning Commission member appointed By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Tbwn Council met on April 13, unanimously appointing a new member to the town’s Planning Commission. Mary Ann Kuhn, of Washington, will begin her term immediately, filling a vacancy on the commission, with her term expiring on June 30,2006. Re-appointments were also made for the Planning Commission, beginning with the chairman, Gary Schwartz whose term was scheduled to expire on May 1. Schwartz’s reappointment extends his term until May 1, 2009. Two additional members, Mitzie Young and Jean Goodine, had been functioning on the commission with terms that had already expired. Young's term ended October 1, 2003 and Goodine’s expired October 1, 2004. Thus, Town Council reappointed both members, extending Young’s term to October 1, 2007 and Goodine’s until October 1, 2008. Remaining member, Robert Ballard’s term is not scheduled to expire until January 9, 2006. In addition to these reappointments, council found that Ed Barton, chairman of the town’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) was also serving under an expired term of February 1, 2004 and committee member Charlie Kevis’ term expired March 1, 2005. Therefore, with Mayor Eugene Leggett saying he had talked with Barton prior to this monthly meeting and the chairman wished to remain on the committee, council re-appointed him to the ARB as chairman, with his new term to expire February 1, 2008. Council agreed Kevis would be consulted prior to a decision on his re-appointment to the committee, making certain it was his desire to continue serving the town in this capacity: Budget review begins In other new business, members of Tbwn Council were presented with a preliminary budget for the fiscal year 20052006. A work session was scheduled to be held at Tbwn Kail on April 20 at 7:30 p.m. to prepare for a public hearing on the budget which will be held on May 11. Council was prepared to entertain a public hearing for issuance of a special use permit request made by the Inn at Little Washington to convert a building at 371 Main Street, which has been used as retail space, into a facility for overnight accommodations. However, at the proposal of the Inn’s representatives, the request was tabled until May 11. The public hearing, which was formally opened in the April 13 meeting, will be continued until the next meeting by a unanimous vote by council members present. Vice mayor Reinhardt Lynch recused himself from the vote, having a personal interest as an owner of the Inn. Town’s water systems Milt Herd of WW & Associates of Charlottesville reported to council that his firm has completed surveying of the town and will be prepared to present a proposal on the town’s proposed wastewater treatment facility within 30 days. Herd also updated council members on the redesign of its water reservoir, saying that the pre-final drawings would be ready within one week and he expected to receive bids for doing the work within 30 days. Town clerk, Laura Dodd, presented council with a proposal from Country Water in preparation to put an additional well online for the town’s water supply. According to Dodd, Country Water has advised her that the cost has increased from its initial quote of $4,233. In a unanimous vote by council, Dodd was given permission to proceed with negotiations with Country Water, not to exceed a cost of $4,500. New web site Council member Claudia Mitchell informed council that the town’s web site is nearing completion. She explained that Richard Lykes of Flint Hill has offered to provide photographs of Washington for the web site, which will be “tourist oriented, but the majority of the information will be about the government.” Mitchell also made a request to council to actively pursue ways for the town to have all utilities placed underground. Toggett reported that, with warm weather approaching, the air conditioning unit in Tbwn Hall is in need of repair or replacement. Having reviewed the issue with two vendors, Dodd reported that a new unit could be installed for approximately $2,200. However, one of the vendors gave a quote last September, therefore she was not certain if that amount would remain the same. Council unanimously voted to appropriate up to $3,500 for a new air conditioning system to be installed at Dodd’s discretion of vendors. Mart From Page A1 guest speakers, and wine and cheese events are also in the plans. Paul also explained that the store has upped its quality standards for items they choose to sell. While the ordinary customer would never be able to tell, the way the products are sold is unique at this market. Someone with an untrained eye might make the assumption that Paul and Kristal were the buyers and sellers of all the antiques. In reality a group of dealers have chosen this market as a home for their “Boutiques.” The dealers are the ones who gather most, but of course not all, of the antiques and bring them to Paul and Kristal to manage and oversee sales. Paul explained that this location is so wonderful because of the open space. Not only the open space, but the actual construction of the building is prjme for the selling of antiques. Paul explained the building was built as the Skyline Apple Juice Company in the 1930s. Made to store apples, the high ceilings and wooden construction make the climate perfect for both apples and antiques. The climate also makes the location a good place to store other things, and that is why there is also the storage part of the business. The Stevensons have 60 units, from closet to Fire From Page A1 flash under the hood and stopped the truck,” Sperryville First Assistant Chief Richie Burke said, “all of a sudden the truck caught fire.” The cause of the fire is not known since there was nothing left of the Ford F250 Super Duty Diesel pickup to distinguish the origin of the blaze. However, Burke suspected that a mechanical malfunction was the cause. .The family, who are from Page County, had been at a horseshow at Frying Pain Park, Frederick County and were returning home when the incident occurred. Within three hours Sperryville, Washington and Flint Hill Fire Departments had the blaze under control with approximately one-half acre of Shenandoah National Forest land burned.

Gy garage size, in which customers can store their goods. While the units stay pretty full, the couple explains they usually always have room for more as customers come and go each month. When asked why the Stevensons purchased the combined 33,000 square feet of space their response is simple. They were looking for a business the whole family could be a part of. Paul, a former management consultant, realized the travel his work required was taking him away from home too much of the time. Kristal, a dental hygienist had always nurtured a love of antiques, and actually has an educational background in business. The couple moved from their home in Mclean to Charlottesville with their 7year-old son Gregg. Kristal smiled as she talked about how much fun the family has when they are all at the store over the weekend. “Our son can hang out with kid’s whose parents are in the store shopping,” said Paul who added that his son counts how many friends he makes each day. “It’s a ball to hang around here. You never know who is going to walk through that door,” said Kristal. Luckily for the Stevenson family, they found the Sperryville Antique Market. A trip to Rappahannock was all it took and now the family is in love with the area. “The environment and the varied backgrounds of the people in this area drew us out here,” said Paul. So, whether you are looking to purchase some primo antiques, or just in the mood for a quiet stroll about the neighborhood, the Sperryville Antique Market’s doors are open Thursday through Monday from 10-6 and the Stevensons will be happy to spend the afternoon with you.

A total of seven charges were listed on the arrest warrant. Three of those charges stemmed from incidents that occurred in Rappahannock County with the 16-year-old Fauquier County youth. Those charges were one count of sexual battery, one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of taking indecent liberties. Four other charges were placed agqinst Edwards concerning incidents that occurred in Rappahannock County with a 16-year-old female from Rappahannock County. Those charges include two counts of sexual battery and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Luke was unable to comment on any dates when Edwards will appear in the Rappahannock County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court since he had not received copies of the served warrants, he had only spoken with authorities in Fauquier County where the warrants had been served. Edwards’ background According to Fauquier High School principal, Roger Sites, Edwards was employed for a period of time at the school. “I can’t recall just how many years ago it was,” said Sites, “but he was hired as the JV girls’ basketball coach when Rolando Bell was here. He later applied for the head coach position when that became available, but was not hired. After that he went over to Highland.” While at Highland School in Warrenton, Edwards began coaching the first girls’ varsity basketball team in the history of the school. He coached there for two years, then went to Wakefield Country Day School as an assistant girls’ basketball coach this past season. When asked about Edwards’ position at Highland School, Headmaster David Plank said, “It is Highland School’s policy not to discuss personnel related matters. It is also our policy to cooperate fully with law enforcement when called upon to do so.” According to Luke, the Commonwealth Attorney’s office has questioned Edwards’ previous employers, but the information they have received has been, “sketchy at best,” with no clear indication as to why Edwards left employment at any of the schools. v In January, Wakefield Country Day School announced that Edwards would be returning next season as the head coach for the girls’ basketball team. “We did background checks on him,” Grove said, “and they all came up clean.” Meanwhile, Edwards has been coaching the Extremes, a girls’ Amateur Athletic Union basketball for at least five years, coaching girls from Rappahannock and Fauquier counties as well as Manassas, Luray and Front Royal. The former assistant coach, Brooke Miller of Washington has taken over as head coach. ^ Lost N Foxhound REWARD Large, White, Male, Long Hair Coat #66 Written on Both Sides (which are s)mved) Brown Spots on Both Ears Please call Michael Brown 547-2466 • 825-0682 J Fully Insured • Bonded Commercial • Residential C.R.

Their efforts could eliminate federal income tax incentives for many conservation easements in this county and others. Incentives for those working farms and other properties that still qualify could be reduced significantly making it less appealing to protect your property for scenic purposes or ftiture development. Their recommendations for relooking at these tax incentives are based on a few cases where tax incentives were abused. Apparently some landowners worked the system to receive tax windfalls disproportionate with the value of their easements Now, it’s sort of like the rotten apple in the barrel. A few bad ones and lots of folks’ conservation efforts could be spoiled for the future. Conservation easements do provide real public benefit and they should be fairly appraised. The JCTs proposed recommendations which don’t discriminate between those conservation efforts which are abusive and those which are legitimate will only serve to harm everyone in counties where preserving the natural beauty of the land is a primary focus — like Rappahannock where more than 20,000 acres have been preserved. There are several conservation groups in Rappahannock and they should continue to support incentives that let and encourage people to protect their land. Speaking of input There is a public hearing on Monday evening at the high school where citizens can learn more about the proposed 2005-2006 school budget of more than $11 million dollars and the choices the School Board may have to make if there isn’t enough money to do everything they would like. There is also a joint meeting of the Tbwn Council and the County Planning Commission on Monday evening to continue their discussions on the town’s comprehensive plan — more houses on the horizon? Come and have your say so you can’t say you didn’t know anything about any future decisions. Backyard buddy This black bear regularly visits the backyard of Flint Hill resident, Joe King. King had been feeding corn to a morning group of squirrels but has attracted this fellow instead. Photo by Joe King Letters Thanks for turning out The Rappahannock County High School Band and Boosters sincerely thanks everyone who stopped by for a car wash on Saturday, April 16. We are grateful to the Rappahannock County School Sports Association for allowing us to participate at the car show. It was a wonderful day. Kathryn Treanor RCHS Band Boosters Conservation easements and the IRS Code As you know, the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation recently issued a report that included suggestions for drastically reducing the federal tax benefits of the donation of conservation easements. We are writing to explain why we believe proposals to limit the tax deductions for donation of conservation easements should be rejected. We are residents of Rappahannock County, Virginia and members of the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA). Rappahannock County’s Comprehensive Plan declares that it is a “scenic, rural county”, and we believe that in this it is unique among counties in Virginia and perhaps in the United States. RCCA is a charitable and educational organization whose purpose is to promote the preservation of the scenic and rural character of the county by protecting agriculture and promoting the permanent preservation of open space. In RCCA’s experience, the most effective means for preserving the rural character of our county has been to urge and persuade landowners to donate permanent conservation easements on their properties. By doing so, landowners are able to restrict subdivision and development of tracts of undeveloped land in perpetuity, hoping to preserve the scenic and rural character of our county as it is today. As we see in our neighbor county to the north, Loudoun County, zoning provisions enacted by one Board of Supervisors to preserve farming and rural values can be overturned by a prodevelopment successor Board in the blink of an eye. In contrast, the restrictions of a conservation easement (preventing, for example, any subdivision of a 50 acre parcel or restricting the subdivision of a 1,000 acre farm into parcels of less than 100 acres), placed by the landowner’s voluntary act, truly is forever. Conservation easements in Rappahannock benefit not only those of us who live here. Rappahannock is a principal gateway to the Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive. Thousands of visitors to those popular federally supported attractions pass through Rappahannock each year. Their enjoyable experience of nature’s wonders is enhanced by passing through the still open and rural scenery here. It is undeniable that the existence of tax benefits for the donation of a conservation easement has been an important incentive for many landowners. Although publicity about a few abuses of the existing provisions in the Code has fueled skepticism on the part of the Joint Committee’s staff, it cannot be doubted that a perpetual restriction preventing the carving up of a parcel of land into one-acre house lots, even if zoning restrictions are reversed, represents a real and quantifiable reduction in the value of the parcel, a reduction that is donated for a charitable purpose and that, as long as the Code promotes charitable giving, is as worthy of treatment as a deductible gift as any other. We are particularly concerned about two of the Joint Committee staff’s recommendations: to eliminate altogether the deduction for donation of a conservation easement on “personal residence” property, and to reduce the deduction for donation on other property to one third of the diminution in value. First, if the “personal residence” provision had been in effect, virtually none of the existing conservation easements in Rappahannock County, which cover about 15'/c of the privately owned land in the county, would have been eligible for a charitable income tax deduction; because virtually all the easements in place cover land on which the owner resides, many of them on working farms. For example, a family that has owned and lived on its large farm for generations recently donated a conservation easement restricting subdivision of some 1800 acres— an enormous benefit to all the residents of the county, preserving open space forever. Without tax deductibility, one questions whether such a donation for the public benefit would have taken place. Second, we submit that there can be no justification for discriminating against dona- ‘ tions of conservation easements by cutting the allowable deduction by two thirds of the loss of value of the affected property. The Internal Revenue Service has plenty of capability to prevent abuses of the deductibility provisions and ensure that appraisals of lost value are fair and accurate. The Service’s vigorous enforcement of the law against taxpayers claiming abusive tax shelters and those who facilitated and promoted such abuses is sufficient proof of that. In conclusion: we hope that, in considering amendments to the Code relating to conservation easements, your committees will not entertain the two suggestions of Joint Committee staff addressed in this letter. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Joyce Abell Bill Dobrovir Alan Dranitzke Judith Richards Hope Hal Hunter Fran Moore Krebser Dick McNear Cliff Miller Sharon Pierce Monira Rifaat Susan B. Strittmatter Cheri Woodard Mitzie Young Alan Zuschlag For the Board of Directors of RCCA, all listed above. Sharon Pierce President (Editor’s Note: This letter was sent to the Hon. Charles E. Grassley, Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance; the Hon. Max Baucus, Ranking Member, Senate Committee on Finance; the Hon. William M. Thomas, Chairman, House Committee on Ways and Means; and the Hon. Charles B. Rangel, Ranking Member, House Committee on Ways and Means U.S. House of Representatives. The letter was copied to the Hon. John W. Warner, the Hon. George F. Allen, and the Hon. Eric Cantor) Local resident urges ‘estate tax’ fix The other day the U. S. House of Representatives repealed the “death tax,” as the House prefers to call what has long been known as the “estate tax.” The legislation approved by the House includes a time bomb that in future years will probably prove very costly to every Rappahannock County landowning family. The House legislation contains a provision that converts the “stepped up” basis of current law to a “carry over” basis, “basis” being the value of an asset. My wife and I live on property that has been in my family for more than 50 years. We bought my father’s share of the farm in the 1970s, and he filed a gift tax return as well. In the 1980s, we bought some land from my brother. When my wife and I are no longer around, an “estate” will transfer to our son (Master’s Degree in tax law) and daughter (married to a Harvsrd MBA). I’ll bet that, working together, they couldn’t figure out the carryover basis of our property despite the fact that I have left a fairly complete record of what I t link it is. The stepped-up basis is easy — it is the value of an asset on the day it transfers to the next generation. So the House of Representatives has acted to convert an estate tax system that affects an extremely low percentage of families into a future capital gains tax nightmare for probably almost all families. I hope that Virginia’s Republican Senators will help fix the problem generated by the Republican House. Robert T. Dennis Flint Hill County preservationists seeking your help The central mission of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance is preservation of the Rappahannock County landscape. We seek your help. Specifically, we are hoping to compile (for private use only) a list of individuals and corporations in a position to purchase Virginia land preservation tax credits. A number of RCCA members, because they have donated conservation easements protecting their properties, have qualified for more tax credits they can use — meaning they have tax credits for sale, usually at a discount, to buyers who can use the credits to pay their own Virginia income taxes. RCCA is concerned about recent land use decisions made by governments and courts impacting counties in our region. We fear that these decisions will bring new pressures for change to Rappahannock’s world-class landscape, a county which has specifically defined itself as a “scenic county”in its Comprehensive Plan. We believe that voluntary donation of conservation easements is one of the best means available to protect The Forum Sharon Pierce our landscape. We believe that (private) identification of county-connected individuals and corporations interested in purchasing Virginia land preservation tax credits will stimulate additional easement donations here. RCCA members who have sold Virginia tax credits say there is virtually no risk in the process beyond the risk inherent in any contract — that one party will fail to live up to the agreement, a failure that may of course be adjudicated. They also report that finding buyers of tax credits is a challenge. The Virginia land preservation tax credit sale works as follows: 1) The landowner donates a conservation easement. 2) The landowner employs a qualified appraiser to determine dollar value of the easement donation. 3) The landowner completes U.S. IRS Form 8283, listing the appraised value of easement. The form is signed by both the appraiser and the donee organization. 4) The landowner files a “Form LPC” with the Virginia Department of Taxation to notify the Department that land preservation tax credits have been created (by donation of the easement). 5) The landowner qualifies for Virginia land preservation tax credits equal to one half of the appraised value of the easement. Tax credits may be used in the year the easement is donated and for five additional years thereafter. 6) If unable to use the credits, the landowner may sell them to taxpayers who can, either privately or through a broker who receives a commission. 7) The first step in the sale of credits is signature, by both landowner and would-be buyer, of either a letter of understanding stating what they are both agreeing to or a more formal “ Transfer of Virginia Land Preservation Tax Credits Agreement,” which is a contract. (The standard form of this agree ment contains a “Seller’s Indemnity” pledging that, in case the credit is disallowed, the landowner will return to the buyer the full price paid for the credits plus reasonable legal and related costs.) 8) The buyer gives a check to the landowner. (At this point, it would seem prudent for the landowner to invest the proceeds of the sale in some risk-free vehicle, and to maintain that investment until it is clear that the tax credit has been allowed. 9) The landowner files a second “Form LPC” notifying the Department of Taxation that tax credits have been transferred to another Virginia taxpayer (individual or corporate). 10) The State Department of Taxation sends a letter to the landowner providing a “Credit Transaction Number,” and warning that this letter “does not constitute the Department of Taxation’s approval of the amount” of the credits claimed. 11) The Department of Taxation sends to buyerrof the credits a similar letter to be attached to the buyer’s Virginia tax return. The buyer of the tax credit then deducts the credit from his state tax liability. In short, an official paper trail is created. There are perhaps gaps in the trail remaining to be filled, and the trail may end up leading nowhere. But any risk appears to RCCA to lie with the landowner. And RCCA has not heard of any land preservation tax credits being limited or denied in the county — not that we would, these being private matters, Tax credit sales prices are also private matters. Reports are that credits can be transferred through brokers — several operate in Virginia — with perhaps 70 cents on the dollar going to the landowner, the ultimate buyer paying 80 cents on the dollar and the broker taking 10 percent. However, the buyer’s tax credit against his tax liability is for the full “face” amount.One RCCA member has recently offered tax credits at $.75 on the dollar, thereby “splitting the broker fee with the buyer.” RCCA sees the tax credit sale system as an innovation that replaces land use regulation or use of public tax dollars with a voluntary system that operates totally within the private sector. This may not be the only way to go, but it is one way we can go in Rappahannock County. RCCA welcomes assistance in compiling a private list of willing tax credit buyers who would make possible voluntary easement protection Rappahannock landowners have already voluntarily donated conservation easements that protect 20,646 acres here — more than 15% of all privately-owned land in the county. Assurance of local funding dedicated to purchase Virginia land preservation tax credits HERE could be a major factor in future voluntary landowner action to assure that Rappahannock does not reenact the landscape destruction increasingly evident in nearby jurisdictions. We realize for many this is a new concept and this article may raise additional questions. If you are interested in pursuing this further,please email us at rcca 1 ©earthlink. net.

Republican Gilbert seeks 15th District House seat By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Although there has not been a formal announcement made, Tbdd Gilbert of Shenandoah County has made it known that he will seek the 15th District House of Representatives seat in the November election. “I am running,” Gilbert said via telephone interview, “there is no doubt I am in the race.” Gilbert, a native of Shenandoah County, first became interested in a political career while attending Central High School in Woodstock, Va. “I was inspired by key teachers who encouraged me to become involved in politics,” he said. Gilbert credits the school for opening up his world to government procedures, having served as president of the student body throughout his senior year of high school as well as a representative in the Model General Assembly for four years. These experiences led to him attending Boys State, an American Legion program for students who show promise in leadership, as a 17-year-old. The students form themselves into “cities” and then elect a General Assembly, thus electing a House of Representatives delegate. Gilbert was elected the representative to the house from r his “city,” allowing him an inside look at hands-on parliamentary procedures. He also served as the House minority leader in the exercise. While attending the University of Virginia, where he majored in government, Gilbert interned for George Allen on Capitol Hill and then worked on Allen’s campaign for the governorship. Gilbert then studied law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, graduating with his law degree in 1996. He was also the president of his student body there as well as the president of the bar association in law school and a member of the mock trial team. He returned to Shenandoah County as a prosecutor for the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office and is now Assistant Commonwealth Attorney. Gilbert’s platform In pursuit of the House seat, Gilbert is very concerned about taxes in the Commonwealth. “I feel strongly that Representatives in Richmond have to get the whole picture of taxes in perspective,” Gilbert said, “Virginia raised taxes at a record rate last year. We have to take a look at the tax structure and see how money is being spent by the legislature.” If elected to the House of 1 R.each over half a million Northern Virginia readers with Times Community Newspapers.

Warehouse ODce/Warehoose tolled ConditiaD 8 Read; for Immediate Occupancy Adjacent to Faeqaier Ties Democrat in the Heart of Warrenton Representatives, Gilbert has proposed that he will do all in his power to make the tax structure more fair for Virginians, especially families who live from paycheck to paycheck. With property tax assessments anticipated to rise anywhere from 50 to 100 percent in the next year, Gilbert said that he is aware of the Republican party working on ways to handle areas that attract people to places like Shenandoah and Rappahannock Counties, making them into “bedroom communities.” “In those situations, the localities take on the bi.rden of education and services, increasing the tax burden on low income and fixed income families,” he said, “We need to create a situation where people feel they are a part of the American dream — people making right choices and the government is not there to beat them down by misspending their tax dollars.” Another area of concern to the candidate is public safety. Living in Shenandoah County, Gilbert has become very aware of the rise in the “scourge of methamphetamine in the Shenandoah Valley.” Gilbert expressed concerns that if the increase in meth labs are not curtailed in Shenandoah County, the trend will drift across the mountains, going into Page and Rappahannock Comities. Time to devote As a single, 34-year-old man, Gilbert feels he has considerable amount of time to devote to the 15th District. “I am the right person to carry the message at the right time,” he said, further expressing a desire to fully devote himself to the needs of the citizens. Gilbert is currently the chairman of the Republican party in Shenandoah County. His affiliation with the party has afforded him considerable support already, bringing in $22,000 in donations toward his campaign prior to his official announcement to run in the race for the House of Representatives.

Freeman breaks Rapp discus record By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School senior Tymeyer Freeman not only threw a personal best in discus, but broke the school’s record when competing at Madison County on April 13. Freeman’s throw of 125 feet, 7 inches exceeded the record that B. J. Christian set in 2001 with a throw of 120 feet, 8 inches and also earned Freeman first place in the meet. He also placed third in the long jump. Rapp’s Corey Voorhies placed first in the shot put, throwing 39 feet, 11 inches. Voorhies’ discus throw of 98 feet, 3 inches put him in second place behind his teammate. In the high jump, Samantha Brown leapt to 4 feet, 6 inches, tying Rapp’s Kelli Maige for first place. Maige placed second in both shot (24 feet, 6.75 inches) and discus (52 feet, 5 inches). In the triple jump, Mattie Nawrocki’s 31 feet, 3.5 inches put her in the lead as well as placing first in the 110 meter hurdles and first in the 300 meter hurdles. Mawrocki took second in the long jump. - Panther Emily Raney ran her way into first place in the 200 meter with a time of 29.8 seconds, followed by third place in the 100 meter in 14.6 seconds. She also placed second in the triple jump with 30 feet, 6 inches and third in discus. Rapp’s Jesse Palmer took second in the 400 meter with a personal best of 58.02 seconds while teammate Josh Makela put forth a personal best of 11:42 in the 3200 meter run, placing second in that as well as second in the 1600 meter. Although he did not place, Steven Butler ran a personal best in the 1600 meter run in 6:37. With the girls’ team placing well in the events entered, it was not enough to defeat Madison County who won 7142. According to Rappahannock head coach Scott Stevens, the loss came largely due to the team not having contestants in all of the events. The boys’ score was also a team loss of 92-23. The Rappahannock County High School Track & Field team will travel to Clarke County on April 27 at 4 p.m. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com Rapp boys’ baseball post first district win The Rappahannock County High School boys’ baseball team was busy last weekend, pulling in its first Bull Run District win against Manassas Park, 7-6 on April 15.

Jim Blubaugh The delegate race is on Rappahannock resident throws hat into delegate race By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer Speculation has run rampant in political circles since the announcement that House of Representatives 15th District Delegate Allen Louderback (R) would not be running for re-election. With the dust settling, office-seekers are coming out of the woodwork, one right here in Rappahannock County. Jame3 K. Blubaugh, Sr. a 26-year resident of Washington, has announced his interest in becoming the next 15th District representative. As a member of the Rappahannock Democratic Party, Blubaugh has been active in political concerns within the county as the policy chairman. - He has served on the Child Care Learning Center (CCLC) board and has been the vice president of Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) when the group first started. He is currently the senior vice president of Zepeda International, Inc., providing short and long term professional level contractors to the federal government as well as to the private sector. Prior to this endeavor in 2002, Blubaugh was deputy chairman of the National Humint Requirements Tasking Center of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In making the decision to run for a political office, Blubaugh said, “We need to make sure people in a rural county are actively and energetically represented.” If elected to the office, Blubaugh has several areas of concern, including a rapid increase in the elderly population within Page, Shenandoah and Rappahannock Counties. “This is a hidden population in our communities — who are taking care of our elderly?,” Blubaugh asked. At the other end of the spectrum, schools are a major concern for him, “It is great how Lord Fairfax Community College has come into small high schools giving students an opportunity to get their first two years of college at a reasonable expense.” Blubaugh is further aware of the need to promote and support community control, especially in Rappahannock County, to avoid it becoming a “bedroom community.” “Counties don’t have home rule with the Dillion Rule,” he said, “being this close to (Washington) D.C., we could become a bedroom community.” With Rappahannock encompassing only 10 percent of the 15th District population, Blubaugh has begun spreading out to Page and Shenandoah Counties, learning of concerns in those areas. Thusfar what he has learned is the major concern for Shenandoah County is potential growth with business sprawl. Citizens in the area have expressed a desire to maintain what has been an idealistic area for families. The potential widening of Interstate-81 is also foremost on the minds of Shenandoah County residents, especially the environmental impacts this would have. Being a small businessman himself, Blubaugh wants to encourage small businesses in rural areas as well as finding ways to educate localities to become more small business friendly- lyOther issues important to Blubaugh are water quality and quantity as well as keeping the environment of the Shenandoah National Park as open land. “I’m not interested in politics from a career point of view,” Blubaugh said, “I’ve had my career. I am just doing this because it needs to be done.” While Blubaugh is aware that he will be sacrificing time with his wife, Liz and their business and family, he also feels, “It is important in a democracy to sacrifice for the common good of all.” The Democratic Caucus will be held on May 14 with the Democratic Committee coming together to elect a candidate on June 15. At this time, one other Democrat has publicly expressed a desire to run for the seat, Rodney Sheppard of Shenandoah County. Jeanne Spath may be reached at jspath@timespapers.com School News IxUjU lest uiven at RCHS in May For the first time in recent memory, Rappahannock citizens may take the GED test at Rappahannock County High School.

Wakefield Country Day School Students Bring Home Physics Olympics Awards Four prep school students from Wakefield Country Day School recently traveled to Richmond to compete in the “Physics Olympics,” an all-day event sponsored by the University of Richmond that tested students’ ability to practically apply their knowledge of math and physics. The team, consisting of Aubree Parker, Jordan Hammelman, Jin Han Cho, and Patrick Dale, competed against 21 other Virginia teams, in five events, and came home with three awards. The WCDS team won First Place in the exercise entitled “Linear Accelerator,” where each team member had to move with constant acceleration over 16 meters. When the judges compared team times to their calculated values, Wakefield Country Day School was the top team. WCDS won Second Place in the “Overhang,” assignment, which required the student teams to create a structure with bricks and rubber bands that had maximum overhang. In the “Float a Boat” category, the WCDS group placed rourth in completing their assignment, which was to create a floating structure that would hold the most weight from materials provided. On Wednesday, April 20, 2005, from 2:40 p.m. tr 3:40 p.m., twelve students in the third grade at Wakefield Countiy Day School (WCDS) in Flint Hill, Virginia, will participate in a live wax museum to convey their knowledge of particular historical figures, with this year’s theme entitled, Salute to the Military.

Hearthstone Hearthstone 5th and 6th grade students were invited to show off their musical talents last Wednesday at Wakefield Countiy Day School in Flint Hill. Students Smith Clifton, Lhani Abernathy, Andy Kiehn, Raven Durham, Dillon Freudenthal, Dane Wellemeyer, and Morgan Vaughan, members of the jazz ensemble, played a variety of pieces, led by teacher Dontez Harris. Wakefield music teacher, Evelyn Oyster, hosted a school assembly where Hearthstone students performed skillfully on trumpets, saxophones, trombones, flutes, guitars and drums. The audience enthusiastically received them with applause while several Wakefield students expressed an eagerness to further develop their own music program. All Hearthstone students begin in the early grades learning to play the recorder. Throughout the years, students are required to select an instrument and participate in music class where mastery of that instrument is encouraged. All instruments are available to students including string instruments, piano, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. Hearthstone’s stu dents have performed at a variety of community venues including senior cehters in Luray and the Plains, the “Rivers and Roots Festival” at Sunny side Market, the Coyote Cafe, and the annual Hearthstone Hootenany.

Washington Fire and Rescue to benefit by Quilt Show By Jeanne Spath Rappahannock News Staff Writer A lost art has been revived in Rappahannock County, the art of quilting. Members of the Rappahannock County Quilt Clpb are preparing for a community project where members’ quilts will be on display to raise money for the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. “Hidden Treasures of Rappahannock County Quilt Show” will be held on Sunday, May 1 from 12 noon until 4 p.m. at the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Hall. One of the oldest quilts that will be on display dates back at least 100 years, although the owner, Janet Eastham is not certain of the exact age. “My grandmother (Louisa King) made the yo-yo quilt for my mother,” Eastham explained, pointing out the details of the antique piece. Colorful tulips, appliqued by hand, adorn a Culpeper/ Madison/Rappahannock Farm Show blue ribbon winning quilt made by Katherine Riley, 91, of Amissville. “She can finish a quilt in about nine months,” said Mary Colliris of Washington of Riley. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jeanne Spath QUILT MAKER: Ora Ray stands in front of the quilt where she crocheted flowers and appliqued them on her beautiful quilt. pp-?ny 'w*'* Money for ambulance Collins, whose husband Russ is a member of the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, has headed this community project in effort to raise approximately $50,000 for a greatly needed new ambulance for the department. Donations to the Quilt Show will be used to offset a $73,000 grant which was awarded to the department in January by the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services. One of the stipulations of the grant is that the money given must be used within this year, which does not give the department much time to raise additional funds for the total cost of the new vehicle. In fact, according to Russ Collins, the new ambulance needs to be on order within the next month to have it in by the end of the year, enabling the department to use the grant money for the rescue vehicle. A piece of history One of the quilts that will be on display was made by Washington’s Ora Ray, depicting all of the black Baptist churches in Rappahannock County. “When I was young, my mother used to make me do it (quilt),” Ray laughed, “I said I would never do it again, and here I am making quilts with the club.” Ray added that she had thought of doing a quilt with all of the Baptist churches in the county, but it would be “one huge quilt.” She has also made another quilt which combines delicately crochet flowers appliqued on a machine sewn background, then hand-quilted. For each work of art on display, there will be a brief description of the technique used to make each quilt.

A -ffarai Photo by Roger Batchelder LOOKING LONELY: In 1999, the gardens of Trinity Episcopal Church and the parking lot were nothing more than a few flowers and flower beds. This was a picture taken from a balcony suite at the Inn at Little Washington. —.. I II III! I 11 mil—1 ai — M^MLLiUJ—Ml_MI Photo by Richard Lykes PRETTY PAY-OFF: By 2005, with the dedicated work of the Garden Guild of Trinity Church, the gardens had become formal and beautiful. In this picture taken recently, the tulip trees are beginning to bloom and boxwood and other plants are now mature and green. By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News The Trinity Episcopal Church Garden Guild of Washington will host the Guild’s Fourth Annual “Great Spring Garden Party” at Jessamine Hill Farm on Saturday, May 14, from 57 p.m. The work of the Trinity Garden Guild on behalf of the Tbwn center has been quite remarkable over the years, and the women of the guild hope to continue their efforts to enhance the beauty of the Tbwn of Washington’s historic center. Their accomplishments in a few short years of hard work and good planning is readily visible as blooming trees and plants have replaced once barren patches in the gardens of the historic church and the adjacent parking lot that serves both the church and the Inn at Little Washington. During the last six years, the Trinity Garden Guild has made significant improvements. In 1999, the unimproved gardens were taken to task by guild members in an effort to make the Tbwn of Washington a more beautiful place to live and visit. With each passing year, additional planning and plantings have yielded a consistently prettier place. Gala to be held at Jessamine Hill Considered one of the finest historic properties in Rappahannock County, Jessamine Hill in Tiger Valley was constructed by a master builder in the mid-1800s in a Virginia Jeffersonian style. John Anderson, a native of Rappahannock County, has lovingly restored the large manor house to its former elegance. Thanks to Anderson, guests attending this benefit will have a unique opportunity to stroll through the grounds and have a festive party at one of the truly grand homes in the Piedmont. All proceeds from the garden party See GARDEN; Page B2 ' /fSt’. .

This view of the fountain overlooks Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern and the Inn. The Frank and Joe Show By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News April is Jazz Appreciation Month throughout America. In Little Washington, the month concludes in a celebratory flourish of jazz with a new version of the Frank and Joe Show at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia on Saturday, April 30 at 8 p.m. The original Frank and Joe Show was an outstanding success last fall at the Theatre and throughout its tour across the U.S. The line up of musicians remains the same: it features virtuoso guitarist Frank Vignola and master percussionist Joe Ascione, joined by Ken Smith on rhythm guitar, Gary Mazzaroppi on bass, and Chuck Ferruggia and Rick Zukor both on percussion — known as the “merry band of New York music makers.” Their music is characterized by improvisation and outstanding instrumental flair and invites comparison to r the classic swing era of Les Paul and Django Reinhardt, especially in interpretations of such standards as “It Might As Well Be Spring,” “Manhattan,” and “Sway.” This music is included in the soon to be released album “66 2/3”, which will be previewed in the upcoming concert. The original show heard at the Theatre last fall celebrated the Frank and Joe Show’s debut album, “33 1/3”, which, in the words of a Washington Post review, was “a spirited, surprising and sometimes dazzling blend of gypsy jazz, southwest swing, dreamy pop balladry and off-the wall novelties.” Tickets for the concert at the Theatre on April 30 are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. The concert is already well subscribed and reservations are suggested. For information and reservations phone (540) 6751253 or email TheatreVA@aol.com Frank Vignola(guitar) and Joe Ascione(percu ssion) return with their 1 “merry band of I New York music makers”. to The Theatre on April 30. .

Washington Baptist Church will host a benefit for the American Cancer Society on April 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Since 911 many charitable organizations have found themselves creating new ways to secure funds for the needs of communities and research. The American Cancer Society is one that finds itself in that position. In their endeavor to maintain funding and provide the same quality services, they have chosen to streamline their fundraising process and unfortunately have cut back on staff. In 2004, cancer statistically beat out heart disease as the number one deadliest disease that kills more people than any other disease. Now, more than ever funds to support this cause are needed. Many Rappahannock residents have had their share of this disease and many have been taken from us. Cancer is so deadly and it comes in so many varieties, it does not discriminate, affecting young and old, rich and poor and all ethnic backgrounds. This year the Washington Baptist Church and some of the musical artists will give of their time and talent in support of a cure by presenting “Sounds of Rappahannock.” Please join us to enjoy your favorite performers: The Kings Travelers (Roger Rutherford), The Promise Land Men’s Choir, Sara Kepplinger, David’s Heart, The Reynolds Praise Team, “Scratch” (David Clanagan), Donald Keyser and the County Rhythm Boys, A+ (Alice Reeve & Tbm Guidice) and Rude Rock Family Donations can be made at the door at the time of the event or by mail to the Washington Baptist Church, for the benefit of the American Cancer Society, R O. Box 209, Washington, VA 22747. Proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society to provide research and support services, a portion of which will return to Rappahannock County. We look forward to this fellowship and we thank you for your support. For information, contact Evelyne Latham at evelatham@aol.com.

How to handle emergencies Radford University is sponsoring an intensive backcountry medical training course in Radford, VA. from May 8-16, 2005. This 72-hour, hands-on Wilderness First Responder course will enable students to deal with medical emergencies when they are miles away from help and dialing 911 is not an option. This course is recommended for all outdoor professionals and those who spend time in remote areas. Graduates will receive WFR certification by Wilderness Medical Associates, valid for three years, as well as BLS level CPR and anaphylaxis certification. Wilderness Medicine differs from traditional emergency medicine in three respects. First, transport times are measured in hours and days rather than minutes, so many phases of patient care that usually take place in a hospital must be carried out in the field. Second, severe environments dramatically increase the complexity of any emergency and heighten risk to patient and rescuers alike. Third, limited equipment makes improvisation and resourcefulness essential skills. Classes are fast-paced with an emphasis on practical skills. Mornings are devoted to lectures while afternoon and evenings are spent outside working on everything from Utter construction to full-scale rescue simulation. All simulations will be video taped and debriefed for enhanced learning. Call David Goodman 540/831-7720 degoodman@radford.edu for location & registration information. Garden From Page B1 will help build an endowment fund for the preservation of the gardens bordering the church and the most important intersection in the Town of Washington. “This year’s garden party will continue its tradition of serving its guests fine food, delicious drinks, and marvelous music,” said Katherine Bull, president of the Trinity Garden Guild that is overseeing this important preservation effort. Members of the Garden Guild assisting Mrs. Bull in planning for the benefit include Nancy Weitz, Lois Snead, Lucille Neissen, Joan Getsinger, Melinda Ameson, Carolyn Thornton, and Sandra Anderson. This year’s benefit will raffle trees and shrubs donated by Eastwood Japanese Maple Nursery, Goat Hill Farm, and Persimmon Springs Farm and Nursery. In an effort to further the group’s outreach to the community program, the guild will donate raffle profits from the function to this summer’s Organic Farming Workshop — a program organized by Headwaters for middle and high school students. Tickets for the “Great Spring Garden Party” are $75 and may be obtained from the church office in front of Trinity Church on Gay Street in Little Washington.

Folks are wondering how much longer this real estate boom can last? There has been a lot of talk lately about Real Estate babble. Is it about to burst? Prices have risen to an all time high. Where is the market headed? How much higher can prices go? It’s the old question of supply and demand. The best answer I can give you is that as long as supplies are short and you have ready, willing and able buyers who will pay the price we will continue to have a strong upward market. The first sign that this is about to change is a glut of properties on the market as the buyers gradually fade away. Is this about to happen? I don’t see it on the short term horizon! However, that could quickly change if gas prices and interest rates continue to rise as predicted. Stay tuned for further updates. Sam Snead, broker gri, CRS, CRB Locally owned and managed. Yuur Hometown Realtors 540-987-9243 • www.samsneadrealty.com Paid Advertisement Dear Rappahannock, Over the past six months Frank Hardy, Inc. and Justin H. Wiley have engaged in an aggressive advertising campaign designed to increase market share with claims of collective experience, market dominance and land preservation. By making these claims through advertising, Frank Hardy, Inc. and Justin H. Wiley hope to ingrain the image that Frank Hardy, Inc. is the “Firm” for high end real estate and conservation in Rappahannock County. We will no longer allow Frank Hardy, Inc.’s advertising claims to be accepted as fact. The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation for Real Estate, list the Initial Certification dates for eight Salesmen affiliated with the Rappahannock Office of Frank Hardy, Inc. to date, collectively at 38 years 0 months, not 100 years as advertised. Five of the eight Salesmen have less than six months experience, and one has less than three years. None of the eight have a Broker’s License. Rappahannock County Property Transfer Data indicates that of all the Real Estate Transfers, with consideration since 2002, Frank Hardy, Inc and Justin H. Wiley have participated in the sale of 3% (three percent) not the 25% advertised. As to their claim of participating in 56% of all properties over $700,000, the same Rappahannock County data indicates a 28% share. We do not know the data Frank Hardy, Inc. and Justin H. Wiley used to calculate market share, but it is flawed and the figures are wrong. We do not dispute the fact that Frank Hardy, Inc. and Justin H. Wiley advertise “In the past six years, we have helped our clients preserve Rappahannock County by placing over 1,700 acres in conservation easement”. However, we would like to point out that Frank Hardy, Inc. and Justin H. Wiley handled the sale that resulted in the subdivision of one of the largest farms in Rappahannock County in the past thirty years. After one day in the Metropolitan Regional Information Systems Inc. (MRIS) data base this property was under contract and then purchased by the Virginia Property Group. Subsequently, Frank Hardy, Inc. is offering the 1456 acre farm for sale in 23 lots. This information is based on a complete set of data from Rappahannock County Real Estate Transfers with consideration from January 1, 2002, to present; public information from the Real Estate Board of Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation; and the Metropolitan Regional Information Systems Inc.

The 80-page book documents Civil War activities in Rappahannock County along with analysis and expansion on the part of Hitt. The original copy of the manuscript was selfpublished by Hitt in 1998 and has sold over 1,000 copies. Further research has prompted Hitt to self-publish yet another version of the text. Described by Hitt as, “an expanded version,” the second copy includes several pictures of commanders, maps of where relics have been found and engagements fought, and of course more information. Discovering a diary account of a private in Custer’s command, Hitt said he was empowered to do even more research. Since then he has discovered that two Congressional Medals of Honor were won at Newbys Crossroads which is the current day intersection of Route 729 and Route 618. In his book, Hitt clearly differentiates between facts, which are printed in bold type, and his personal comments in regular type. Raised only two miles from the site of Battle Mountain, Hitt explained he grew up hearing legends of skirmishes that took place in the area. In 1997 Hitt said he was inspired to learn more when he found out the skirmishes were in fact full fledged engagements. “That sent me down a trail of researching any angle I could find,” said Hitt. His research has uncovered a mountain of information about events that occurred throughout Rappahannock County. “Almost every little village has something to say about what happened during the war,” said Hitt. According to Hitt a large engagement took place in Amissville in 1862, there were multiple skirmishes at Gaines Crossroads (now Ben Venue), Chester Gap, and Washington, Va., and the residents of Sperry-ville were at one point even forced to take an oath to the Union. On Dec. 23, 1863, a column of Union soldiers passed through Rappahannock on thenway to Page County to bum a tannery in Luray. Ib purchase a copy of the book, Battle Mountain Affair, send $9.95 plus $1.25 for postage to Danny Hitt P.O. Box 351, Amissville, Va., 20106. At times copies can also be found at the Laurel Mills store and at Hackleys Store in Amissville. Umpiring Tmugfitfr Randy Minter I THE SECULAR FUNERAL Civil funerals, of course, are not for everyone; however, there are those who stress that people have the right to compose funerals in line with their beliefs. In urban areas of Australia and New Zealand, there has been a cultural shift toward secularity that has seen funerals in a non-religious manner.. Fledgling movements in civil funerals have also risen in the U.S.A. and Britain. Funerals of this type focus primarily on the deceased, with personalized eulogies and tributes from family and friends. This requires meticulous preparation in interviewing loved ones, preparing a eulogy that is truly reflective of the individual, and carefully selecting music and quotations. We understand the need to make a service personal. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we’re here to do just that...and we offer a variety of plans and services to help you create a ritual that reflects your family’s values. For a tour. Call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries. “// endless morrows hod stretched before man’s vision, he would never have accomplished anything today." _ -George Eliot

Chester Gap columnist making it riffht in my community Well folks I’m a big enough man to admit when I’m wrong, and yes just a plain big man, but a big enough man anyway. Folks, while this will likely come as a surprise to my wife who thinks I never am, well she could pretend to anyway; I was wrong. I was wrong when I reported to all of you that those tires on the equipment were bald. I had a long and lengthy conversation the other night with several members who held positions in last year’s administration and to be fair it’s a conversation I should’ve had before I ever signed off on my last column. I was sure about my facts in my own mind and let some personal feelings bleed through as well and got a good bit ahead of myself. I broke a golden rule and while it Chester Gap | Chris Ubben 635-6094 bigshowl995@ ■ yahoo.com shames me to say it I didn’t follow up on my facts. Hindsight’s 20/20 and I will be the first to say that I was wrong and with that thought in mind I want to apologize to last years administration for not doing my job right and casting them in an unfair light over this. The tires are not as bad as I had believed them to be and had I done my homework I’d have caught it. The issue with the oil was also addressed but I can’t say we ever settled. I also feel the need to apologize to Mr. Roger Welch as well, whom I shouldn’t have put on the spot like I did; it wasn’t fair to him or right. I’m also ashamed that I betrayed your trust by passing on false information that if I just hadn’t gotten into such a hurry over I would’ve caught myself. So to you folks as well I feel the need to apologize because I feel that I have wronged you all by this mistake and that was never my intent at all. With all of these thoughts and considerations in mind I’ve reached the decision that it would be best for myself, my family and most importantly you thekcommunity, if I resign my position as President of the Fire Dept. I will effectively step down as of April 15, and will be leaving matters in the competent hands of your vice president, Wayne North. I thank everyone for the chance and experience and wish the dept and the membership the best of luck. Church and Cub Scout Pack 200 attend race It’s a little late to be relating this to you all, just like it was too late to get some sunscreen by the time I realized we’d need it, but several members of the church along with the whole cub scout pack attended the April 9th truck race at Martinsville, Virginia. Everyone gathered together at 4:00 a.m. bleary-eyed but ready to hit the road for the “5hour drive” to the racetrack. It was “take a kid to the races day” which is sponsored by “Raceway Ministries” who held and coordinated the event. We had our own special section of the stands to sit in, “turns 3 and 4” as well as being entertained by the country-christiap” band “Cross Country.” There were also some very moving testimonies from racecar drivers about their relationships with God. As for the sunscreen I mentioned before, well it was something I never even thought to bring but I can promise you this I will never, ever, forget it again! My son and I came home looking like we’d been force marched in the sun all day or were trying out for parts in a “Red Lobster” commercial! It was a highly enjoyable day for everyone and while I never thought I’d enjoy “Nascar” I find myself possibly going to the race in Richmond, VA next month.

Rappahannock County Retired Teachers Association made a return trip to school Ten Rappahannock County Retired Teachers Association members made a return trip to Rappahannock County High School on April 11 for a delightful dinner hosted by the Culinary Arts Classes. The community was saddened to hear that Min Jumak passed away on Monday, April 11, our prayers are with the family. The 15th Annual Sky Awareness Week (SAW) is from April 24-30. This year’s theme is “THE SKY — Where Meteorology Meets the Heavens and the Earth!” Since 1991, more than 40 states have supported this growing celebration. SAW will provide opportunities for teachers, students, parents, home schoolers, senior care centers, nature center staff, meteorologists and others to look toward the sky. In doing so, we can learn how to read the sky, first by learning cloud types and their weather, and then by forecasting from them, understanding the sky processes, sky color, and learning how rainbows are formed. Let’s appreciate the sky’s natural beauty. Late spring is the time when we experience the most dramatic and changeable skies. In addition to making our own weather forecasts, just as farmers and explorers used to do, let’s notice that the sky is not the same color blue every day. SITTING PRETTY: Former Rappahannock teachers were treated to a delicious dinner thanks to Mary Arthur’s culinary students. These changes, are often tied to the movement of weather systems and accumulations and transport of atmospheric pollutants. The list of “things” in the sky also includes birds, the sun, the moon and stars. And, we can appreciate all of these and often gain an upbeat feeling just by looking up! For more ideas and to learn more about SAW, check out the links below to explore “cloud and sky windows” skyweek® weatherworks.com or call 1-800-8256839.
