Q Board unhappy with school figures By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the start of school just a few weeks away, superintendent of schools, Dr. Robert Chappell, is already facing huge math challenges. With time running out on revised bids by the Lantz Construction Company of Winchester, Va. for a new auxiliary gym, band room and track, an unhappy Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors peppered Chappell with sharp questions Monday afternoon. Due to ballooning cost estimates, more than half a million dollars in excess of the amount originally borrowed and budgeted, Chappell was in the difficult position of having to stand before the board and present alternative construction proposals for their consideration. After hearing Chappell’s presentation, Wakefield District Board member Roger Welch expressed displeasure about the single bidder on both current and planned school construction projects. Welch suggested it put them at the mercy of the contractor. Opining that another, specialized contractor might be less expensive than the Lantz Construction Company of Winchester, Virginia, Welch mentioned the General Steel company and offered. “I feel we could do this for half, the price.” Chappell responded that he Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Bill Kossler CONTEMPLATING: Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes considers county’s construction concerns. would investigate General Steel that very day, but about the current proposal he said. “This is a preengineered steel structure” for the most part and the part that isn’t, “the masonry walls, the architect says we need.” This brought forth an impassioned response from Jackson District Board member Ronald Frazier. “Our problem is this architect. He low-balled this project. The architect, he’s put the people of Rappahannock into a very serious situation... we’re here because the architect screwed up. That’s why you’re standing here today. We borrowed the amount of money you asked for, and now we don’t have enough,” lectured Frazier. Oliver, Webb, Pappas and Rhudy, the architectural firm in question, is based in Blacksburg, Virginia, and specializes in projects of this nature. Unhappy not only about the financial shortfall, Frazier went on. “If you compare what we spend on 4-H to what we spend on football, baseball, basketball, track, soccer and so on and so on, it’s so much more (for sports). I wonder about our priorities here”. The board then discussed various potential cost-saving alternatives.

Sixty children participated the first week and 47 the seccmd bringing the total to 107 in all. While camp fees were on a voluntary basis, any contributions by the families of those attending were greatly appreciated. “These contributions help to offset the costs of the Summer Workshops,” said Headwaters Executive Director Paige Coombs, “and we are truly appreciative to all who helped to make these workshops the huge success that they were again this year.” No child was turned away and bus transportation was provided as well. Wonderful opportunity Special focus was placed on children within the community to be provided encouragement and excitement about learning in the summertime One of the goals is to provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating selection of workshops to get children away from TV, and lounging on the sofa during summer break. These workshops provide a wonderful opportunity for children from very different socio-economical backgrounds to be together. Some of the county’s top artists and professionals along with several interns have developed an extraordinary menu of classes that was sure to enrich the lives of all who participated. These workshops were offered at various indoor and outdoor classroom locations. Each workshop ran during the morning from Monday to Friday. There were 15 exciting workshops in all.

: The Alice Glass and Charles Marsh years This is the first in a series three articles focusing on the history of the Longlea Estate. By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Longlea has a story to tell. The vast estate, with its 18th century English-style manor house, lies about a mile and a half beyond Rappahannock County along Route 522 going toward Culpeper. It was the 1930s creation of a very beautiful woman, Alice Glass, and a very rich man, Charles Marsh. Both were idealists and Longlea was their Shangri-La. Later, in 1966, idealism played a continued role when Longlea became part of the American Security Council Foundation; a powerful coldwar organization dedicated to upholding American ideals against Communism. Still later, in 2002, Opus Dei, part of the Catholic Church, purchased the property, establishing a center where people, both Catholic and .non-Catholic, could grow in , holiness and improve society. A worthy, idealistic pursuit. Currently, Opus Dei may sell off, . over time, parcels of Longlea for commercial, light-industrial, and residential development. Alice Glass i But we begin with Alice Glass and Charles Marsh. Alice Glass was bom on October 11, 1911 in Lott, Texas, and attended Texas Christian University and Columbia University. In 1931, at age 20, she was working as a secretary for a Texas state senator in Austin. Robert Caro, in his books about Lyndon Johnson - Alice Glass and Lyndon Baines "Johnson had a long-running love affair - quotes people describing Alice as a beautiful woman, intelligent, independent, and idealistic. She was said to have stood almost six feet in her bare feet; was graceful, slender, with large blue eyes, and blonde hair with a reddish tinge. A noted New York society photographer, who had done portraits of women the likes of Greta Garbo, said she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. When she entered a room, people would stare and sometimes fall silent. Photos of Alice in one of Caro’s books do not do her justice. A photo in Philip Hopper’s book on Charles Marsh, “Anonymous Giver/’ comes closer to capturing her beauty Photo by Richard Lykes Longlea today When she entered a room, people would stare and sometimes fall silent. Kopper and Caro recount how Charles Marsh entered her life in 1931. While attending a dinner party in the Driscoll Hotel in Austin, they were very strongly attracted to each other, even though he, at 44, was over twice her age, and married to boot. Within weeks he left his wife of 11 years, Leona, and their two children, and made Alice his mistress, an arrangement that Alice desired and preserved for nine years, even while bearing him two children. They moved to New York City, Washington, and finally settled in Virginia at Longlea, with Alice designing and overseeing the creation of the manor house in 1932. Longlea is said to be patterned after a similarly named manor house they had seen in Sussex County on a visit to England in the early 1930s. But, according to an historian recently contacted in Sussex by the writer, although there were a number of such manor houses, none were named Longlea. Charles Marsh Charles Marsh was bom in 1887, in Hartwell, Ohio, on the outskirts of Cincinnati. He attended Haverford College in Pennsylvania, then transferred and graduated from the University of Oklahoma. He became rich in the newspaper publishing trade, acquiring as many as 50 newspapers, and Frazzled by College Pre|>? we can help with our SAT Prep & College Essay Classes Regina Knight 12th Grade Seton School Caitlin Hadley 12th Grade Fauquier High Advantages of our classes are: Y Very Small Class Sizes Creates teaming & Engaging Atmosphere jfjbji/* ] ® Prawn Curriculum I Aowwment Cans AbBey Achievement Center, lnc,_ Taking Learning Steps Above and Beyond 220 Culpeper St., Warrenton VA 540-351-0826 Yes! □ Please enter my new subscription to: Rappahannock News Subscription Rates By MailT'*^ Rappahannock.*21 Elsewhere in the U.S.*27.°°/year Name __ Address __ Cirv__ 'on State Zip_ M-ul subscription arc payable in advance.

Washington, Virginia22747 invested in oil wells, real estate, and banking. Charles Marsh knew Col. Edward House, who was Woodrow Wilson’s silent partner on matters of state, and Marsh quickly grasped the power of someone working behind the scenes with no publicity, while being at the center of political intelligence matters. Marsh’s engagement in politics followed this rule, and Hopper’s book details how Marsh, his friends, and his home were used to facilitate desired policies. By the late 1930s, Marsh took a great interest in the political potential of Lyndon Baines Johnson. In the autumn of 1937, Marsh invited LBJ and Lady Bird Johnson out to Longlea. At the time, Lady Bird was 24, Lyndon Johnson, 29, Alice Glass, 26, and Charles Marsh was 50. Longlea: Alice, Charles, and LBJ Robert Caro, in his book, “The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Path to Power,” describes the Longlea the Johnsons saw in 1937 and many times afterwards. LBJ, captivated ' by Alice, and she with him, made many solo trips to Longlea as their love affair grew. “Longlea,” set on a thousand acres in the northern Virginia hunt country, was named for the eighteenth-century Sussex manor house on which it was modeled, but it could have been named for its setting. The roads toward it, toward its blue-slate roof and great chimneys that rose above the soft Virginia hills, led across long, rolling meadows, and the meadows before it were nothing to the meadow behind it. The broad flagstone terrace at the rear of Longlea - a terrace 110 feet long - was bordered by a low stone parapet. Beyond the parapet, the land dropped steeply down to a narrow river. And beyond the river, before the first of the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a vast, empty meadow (or “lea”) stretched for miles. But, however appropriate the name, knowledgeable visitors to the Charles Marsh estate did not refer to it by that Photo courtesy of Diana Marsh Alice Glass After her divorce from Marsh, Glass kept Longlea. name. They called it ‘Alice’s Place.’ The focus of life at Longlea was not its magnificent interior but the terrace behind it. Breakfast would be served on that broad, long expanse of flagstone, as the morning sun slowly burned away the mist from the great meadow and the mountains behind it. In the evenings, after dinner, it was on the terrace that guests would sit, watching the mist form and the mountain turn purple in the twilight. Life at Longlea was as elegant as its designer.” Kopper’s book describes Alice Glass’s entertainment style at Longlea as follows. “Here she held a salon of sorts, entertaining lavishly on weekends. Champagne was her preferred beverage. She employed a gourmet kitchen staff, served the finest wines, and discussed recent books with a parade of governmental official, journalist, Texas politicians, and an occasional celebrity. These were people Marsh favored.” The love affair between Alice and Lyndon may have reached a peak in 1939-1940. LBJ was willing to throw over his political ambitions, become a lobbyist, obtain a divorce, and marry Alice Glass. But when he started campaigning for a 1941 Senate race, Alice saw that LIU’S first love was politics. She finally married Charles Marsh in 1940 (he had divorced Leona, his first wife, in 1938). This did not last, as Alice divorced Charles in 1946, received Longlea as part of the settlement, and she went on to five more marriages. Her second was to Palmer Weber, but it was brief.

Richard J. Kirkpatrick in 1959. Alice Glass died in her hometown of Marlin, Tfexas, in 1976. Charles Marsh in Rappahannock County As to Charles, he turned increasingly toward his longstanding interest in community welfare. He founded a stillthriving Public Welfare Foundation in 1947, and incorporated it in 1951. Claudia Haines, his secretary, became the Foundation’s secretary in 1952, and his third wife in 1953. A Washington Post article of January 1952 notes that Charles Marsh was living in Washington, VA, and in 1960 the Foundation’s headquarters was moved from Washington, VA to Washington, D.C. Kopper’s book notes that “Marsh acquired an estate called Jessamine Hill, which would serve him and his charitable heirs.” Charles Marsh died at the end of 1964. Longlea’s close call What became of Longlea in all of this? The Washington Post notes in April 1965 that Alice Glass Kirkpatrick, then 53, contracted with a Virginia land development company, Estates of Virginia, Inc., to sell the Longlea manor house and its by-then 1,800-acre estate. The developer felt residents in the Washington, D.C., area would be interested in vacation homes or retirement homes in a spectacular rural setting. “Residents of the community would own the manor house and 400 acres immediately surrounding it in common under a condo LBJ, captivated by Alice, and she with him, made many solo trips Longlea... minium arrangement. It would be used as a clubhouse with dining and inn facilities for members and guests. Other community facilities for residents would include tennis courts, a swimming pool, trails for horseback riding, a show ring, paddock, stables, hunting areas, and a demonstration farm.” Half-acre lots would sell for $1,870 ($100 down, $23 a month). Each lot would have a 10-foot easement at the back to provide miles of riding trails for the community. A corporation, Longlea Manor, was organized on a non-profit basis to represent Longlea residents and to hold title to the common lands and the manor house. Alice Glass Kirkpatrick and her husband were among the directors of the corporation. Closing was set for July 4,1965. But another entity appeared on the scene and the Institute for American Strategy announced on November 9, 1965, that a Freedom Studies Center would be established at Longlea on a 671-acre estate with its manor house. Another era of idealism would follow under the aegis of the American Security Council Foundation. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently.

The need for speed increases cyclist risk By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer Steve Angelicas and his Mend Steve Johnson say they don’t believe in taking chances on their motorcycles. So before they jumped on their bikes on Sunday morning, they carefully plotted the 90mile route from Mechanicsville . to Bealeton. They decided to skip the highways and take the back roads to the Bealeton Flying Circus, where they had entered their sports bikes in the annual “Motorcycle Day” competition. After travelling scenic byways for a little more than two hours, the men reached the „ show grounds unscathed. “The two of us are very wellversed in safety,” said Johnson, a member of the Richmond BMW Riders Club. “We’re pretty selective about getting the right type of gear and protecting our whole bodies.” Still, he and Angelidis both know that all riders aren’t so cautious, and those who aren’t often wind up paying a hefty price for it. “I saw a bad accident on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina,” Angelidis said. “It was a guy from Chicago. They had to fly him out by helicopter.” What happened? Two lives were lost in motorcycle accidents in Fauquier County this weekend — one on Interstate 66 and one on John Marshall Highway. (See story, Page Al.) Last weekend, state troopers responded to five motorcycle wrecks. Of those, one occurred here and four were reported on the winding country roads of nearby Rappahannock County. The Rappahannock wrecks resulted in several injuries and one fatality. Authorities believe that three of the wrecks occurred when operators lost control of their vehicles. Three of the accidents reportedly involved groups of riders. The number of recent wrecks is cause for concern, but not necessarily cause for alarm, according to Virginia State Police Sgt. Franz Mahler. “It is unusual. Maybe it was a coincidence ... I don’t know,” said Mahler, who works out of the Area 12 Office in Warrenton. “You have to consider the number of people who are out riding.” Statistics provided by the Fauquier County Sheriffs Office show that deputies have worked 15 wrecks involving motorcycles here this year. The state police have worked 12, according to their records. Contributing factors Most people who do ride motorcycles are safe and responsible, Mahler stressed. Even so, riding a motorcycle has inherent risks. Carelessness, overconfidence or a lack of confidence can all contribute to motorcycle accidents, according to Lt. Cuno Andersen, a former motorcycle officer with the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office. “When you’re on a motorcycle you need to drive defensively all of the time,” Andersen said. According to Mahler, the crash that occurred at the intersection of Leeds Manor Road and John Marshall Highway last Saturday happened when a vehicle pulled out in front of the motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle and a passenger were both taken to the hospital, according to the accident report. “In a lot of the wrecks that I’ve worked involving motorcycles, the other driver says they never even saw it,” Mahler said. Inexperience and lack of proper training also lead riders to underestimate how powerful the machines are — and that results in plenty of spills, Mahler added. Rider Steve Johnson agreed. “Bikes today are much more powerful .than they used to be,” he said. Speeding to disaster None of the people involved in the weekend crashes appeared to be engaging in motorcycle racing at the time, Mahler said. But excessive speed often plays a role in motorcycle wrecks, he added. “Some of these bikes are very unforgiving, (so) you have to respect speed,” Mahler said. “If you make one mistake, you could die.” Excessive speed, coupled with challenging terrain like How TO GET A MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT According to Virginia State Police Sgt. Franz Mahler of the Area 12 Office in Warrenton, everyone who drives a motorcycle is supposed to have either a motorcycle endorsement on their regular driver’s license, or a separate motorcycle license. Riders who are caught without one face “stiff” penalties, according to Virginia State Police Sgt. Frank Ingham, also of the Area 12 Office. The offense is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a $2,500 fine, he said. In order to get a motorcycle endorsement or license, applicants must: • Pass the required vision screening. • Pass a “motorcycle knowledge exam.” • Pass a motorcycle road skills test. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles Web site, the “knowledge exam” consists of 25 questions based on information in the Motorcycle Operator Manual. Applicants must pass the exam before taking the skills test. The road skills test includes exercises that measure the driver’s ability to handle a motorcycle, including starting, accelerating, shifting, turning, braking and swerving. In order to pass, applicants must successfully complete all of the skills exercises. The DMV will waive the road skills test for riders who have completed a motorcycle rider training course. Riders who have completed such a class within two years should bring their course completion card to the DMV when they apply for their motorcycle endorsement or license. The DMV’s Virginia Rider Training program is offered at 15 community colleges throughout the state. The DMV and the Motorcycle League of Virginia Inc., also provide a mobile motorcycle training unit for people in remote parts of the state. For more information about the mobile unit, those interested may call the motorcycle Safety League at (888) 826-7584. To get more information about a motorcycle rider training course, call (800) 446-9227, (866) DMV-LINE, or (800) 435-5137. A list of colleges where the classes are offered may be accessed by visiting the DMV Web site at www.dmv.state.va.us. the winding, twisting roads in Rappahannock County, are an especially lethal combination, according to First Sgt. Gary Settle of the Virginia State Police. “Often we find that these crashes are caused by people exceeding safe speeds,” he said, noting that the roads simply weren’t built for the type of speed some motorcycle enthusiasts seem to enjoy. Settle said that state police and county authorities have teamed up with the Virginia Department of Transportation to crack down on dangerous driving in Rappahannock. Speed limits have been reduced on some roads, and speed bumps have been put on other roads, he said. Police are out in force whenever possible, he added “We’ve put a special operations team up there to try to make the mountain safe,” Settle said. “The county police have assisted us with visibility.” Ultimately, however, it is up to each motorcycle driver to ensure their own safety, Angelidis said. “By getting the proper training, paying attention to the road and wearing the right protective gear, you can minimize the risk,” he said. E-mail the reporter: abogdanovic@timespapers.com 211 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, VA 1 540-341-7031 Danger spots By Alexandra Bogdanovic Rappahannock News Staff Writer While driving west along Crest Hill Road on Tuesday, First Sgt. Gary Settle of the Virginia State Police couldn’t help but admire the scenery. “This is actually a gorgeous drive,” Settle commented as he continued, but looks can be deceiving. Although they don’t work a lot of motorcycle wrecks on the eastern section of the road, Settle said troopers at the Area 12 Office in Warrenton get plenty of complaints from citizens there who are concerned about noise generated by groups of bikers. Speeding is also an issue, he added. Generally, the motorcycle enthusiasts accused of creating the ruckus come from Spotsylvania County, Stafford County, Washington, D.C., Maryland and Pennsylvania, Settle said. For the most part, they are heading west to Rappahannock County, where they test their ability and equipment in treacherous errain. 1 he further you get toward Rappahannock, the windier and twistier the road gets,” said Settle, a Rappahannock native with 23 years of experience in law enforcement. Within a mile of the county line, the numbers on the yellow signs designating the “safe speed” limits on the twolane road drop from 45 to 35 mph. But a lot of riders simply don’t pay attention, according to Settle. “We work a lot of motorcycle wrecks all through here,” Settle said. From there, Crest Hill Road literally winds its way westward, presenting riders with switch-backs, S-curves and short straightaways. Some drivers have been known to take them at speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour, according to Settle. About 18 months ago, he said he caught the same rider traveling that fast three times in a three-anda-half-week period. The third time, Settle said the driver wrecked after failing to negotiate a turn, but emerged with “only” a concussion. “This is a racetrack,” he said. “You can actually stand in Flint Hill, which is about two miles away from here, and hear the bikes as they come through the hollows.” Once they reach the intersection of Route 522, many bikers will turn around and go back toward Fauquier County, Settle said. Others take Fodderstack Road — another winding, twisty route that is only Look out Crest Hill Road in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties N is a favorite route for motorcyclists. ■^■danger spots . <L M_<2 Thornton Gap t Crest Hill Road Fauquier County bource: Virginia btate Police Rappahannock News Graphic Damie Malone slightly less challenging than the first one. Generally, the packs of riders are fairly well-behaved before they get to Sperryville, according to Settle. But as they get closer to the mountain pass known as Thornton Gap, the group mentality can start to shift, he explained. “Based on the complaints that we get, the wrecks that we work and our other experiences in patrol, we’ve found that the mindset starts to change back through there,” , Settle said, after passing a small cluster of shops. “By the time they hit this straightaway, some of them are doing 100 miles per hour.” Many of these instances are videotaped as riders literally try to see who can get to the top of the mountain first, Settle said. A lot of bikes get wrecked in the process. Some riders get badly hurt and others don’t five to tell about it. “The first curve is a nice' curve,” Settle commented as he swung his unmarked Chevrolet Impala through it at more than 50 mph. “The next one is a ‘fatality curve.’ ” Riders who can’t make the turn usually wind up crashing into the guardrail, he added. The severity of the curves lessens as the ascent continues, but that gives the riders a chance to gain some speed, according to Settle. They only stop when they reach the Page County line at the top of the mountain, he said. “Usually there’s someone with a radio here and someone with a radio at the bottom,” he said. “They both have stopwatches.” Cracking down A number of tragedies in the past couple of years prompted officials to crack down on the “racing” in Thornton Gap. Settle said. They’ve installed rumble strips and stepped up enforcement. Now they’re getting even more help to combat motorcycle “racing” throughout the area. “The Special Enforcement Team is (a unit) comprised of about four to five troopers. All of their emphasis is on problem areas throughout the division. It’s been helpful and it’s been productive,” Settle said.

VA 22623 NEW ADVANCES IN Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery f vV.-ihia M Bc*.vs*>. MD Not long ago, most people with severe neck or back pain viewed spinal surgery as a last resort. Postoperative pain, scarring, and a long, difficult recovery period — a year or more — made traditional surgery a tough choice Now, new advances in endoscopic technology, coupled with the skill of an experienced orthopaedic spine surgeon, mean that many Culpeper Regional Hospital patients can benefit from tmy, "keyhole" size incisions. The results: shorter hospital stays, less pain, and a recovery period measured in weeks, not years Patients can be back to their da iy routine m much less time. Because surgical options depend on piany variables, consult vout surgeon to see if minimally invasive spine surgery is right tor you. Spinal surgery is just one of the new minimally invasive procedures available at Culpeper Regional Hospital, where patient-. centered care means more personal choice.

At issue are escalating costs for putting in a new track at the high school. The costs have gone up from what was originally projected. Risen to the extent that the pot may be dry and Chappell has basically been sent back to the drawing board. This scene is not unusual as far as county politics go. School administrators in counties across Virginia are lobbying their respective supervisors for funds. Money for this and money for that. It’s the nature of the beast but it doesn’t always leave a pleasant taste in your mouth. Chappell is a good man and so are the supervisors. They’re all on the same track as far as wanting what’s best for the children of this county. They’re also on track as far as knowing just what the limits are of their pocketbooks and what taxpayers can bare. They may be a bit off-track when it comes to tactics, but strategically they’re on the same page. Looking back, the track project has been on the books for a long time. No one seems to deny that a new, improved one is needed. Public comment has been taken, architects and engineers have looked at the project, initial funds have been established. Now, when the rubber is close to meeting the road, it has once again been stymied. Neighboring Fauquier County is experiencing similar pains but, in. their case, it’s a new high school at stake to the tune of $50 million. After getting the bond measure approved, their Board of Supervisors shot down the proposed site where it is supposed to be built. The third high school is sure to happen but lots of bad blood has been spilled along the way. S When their second high school was built in 1994, Liberty was without stadium bleachers. The field was there but no place to sit. The boosters along with a very active group of citizens rallied to the cause and raised the funds to put them in. They literally rose to the occasion and the field today is flanked by the shiny rows. There is already some money earmarked for the new track but there needs to be more. Perhaps instead of looking to make the new track less than it should be, the community needs to look at ways to make it happen and be what it should - a place for not only Rappahannock students to run but for all those students who come from other schools to share our resources. Chappell and the Board of Supervisors have a tough job trying to make good things happen. Hopefully, they’ll stay on track and perhaps the community will choose to run with them. Stacking shelves The school system could use some volunteers to help restack shelves before the start of school in a few weeks. Contact Dr. Bob Chappell if you’d like to help. Getting started The newly formed Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association has held a few meetings and is looking to add members from the Washington business community as well as those interested in preserving the historic character of the town. They’ve got lots of exciting things in mind. Contact president John MacPherson at (540) 6753757 to learn more. IN&FN lME„.N<5T EV6N ApAV 0I^ TO BEACH AMP \V6'&NX<o ScVocCbWml 'VassB* mr i Letters Spreading the good news An open letter to all business owners in the Tbwn of Washington, VA and Rappahannock County Dear Business Owner, The newly formed Washington Hospitality & Visitors Association (WHVA), formerly known as the Washington Business Council, has enthusiastically begun planning future events for the historic town of Washington. The mission of the WHVA is “to preserve and promote the unique cultural and historic heritage, retail and dining offerings, and local hospitality of Washington, Virginia, while creating a vibrant town atmosphere.” In keeping with this mission, committees were formed at the latest meeting to address special events and upcoming projects including: Christmas in Little Washington, Halloween, WHVA Website design and construction, drafting of the new WHVA Bylaws, and Co-op Marketing and Sponsorship with RAAC for the Artists of Rappahannock Studio & Gallery Ibur on Nov. 5-6. We’re confident these events and projects will benefit local businesses as well as the community, but we need your skills, talents, and knowledge to ensure our success. You can play a vital role by joining the WHVA. Here are some of the benefits that members will enjoy: Historic District Members: Businesses in or immediately outside of the historic district that rely primarily on tourism to historic district for income. 1. Voting Rights: Members will be principal architects in the economic future of Washington, VA. They will decide on how we spend our time and money to bring in tourism. 2. Marketing Benefits: A paragraph-sized promotional ad in new WHVA brochure and on new WHVA website (which will be extensively promoted and linked to other tourism sites on the internet). Members will have optimal visibility on the website, brochure and other promotional projects and events. 3. Enhanced Buying Power and Influence: Members will have opportunities to participate in cooperative advertisements-such as with other local business associations, sponsored Yahoo ads, etc...) and to act as a lobbying group to further the organization’s mission. 4.

We appreciate all the hard work and support! THANK YOU! Members of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO August 5, 1965 The metric system, which is presently in use by about 90 per cent of the world’s population, is something which the United States ultimately must adopt if it is to keep pace with the modem times and remain competitive in world trade, said the Virginia Department of Agriculture. The United States is now certainly in the minority with its old system of weights and measures — many of which can be traced back to the size and length of an ancient kin’s arm or foot. The British government recently announced plans to begin the conversion to the metric system over a 10-year period. This changeover would leave America as the only major nation in the world still clinging to the outmoded system of pounds, pints, inches, acres, etc. VDA, and especially its weights and measures section, realizes that the metric system is something that cannot be brought about overnight or without careful study or planning... Industries that would be hardest hit by the conversion would be automotive, appliance, and machine tooling. In these, all dies, tools, machine parts and gauges would have to be changed to metric units, and millions of plans, diagrams and designs would have to be converted. Before Congress now is a bill to appropriate funds for an intensive study to determine the approximate cost of conversion. Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., has joined in urging Secretary of Labor, W. Willart Wirtz to give further consideration to the need of Virginia orchardists for adequate harvest labor. The 7th District congressman pointed out that, while Virginia fruit growers were exerting maximum efforts to recruit sufficient domestic labor, it was clear that not enough qualified pickers could be drawn to the orchards from domestic sources, and that there would be a need to supplement them by experi• enced temporary workers from the Bahamas or elsewhere, if this year’s Virginia orchard crops were to be harvested in good condition. In urging Secretary Wirtz to use his authority to permit importation of sufficient additional workers, marsh pointed out that it was not a question of wage rates, as one of having on hand in thq orchards, sufficient qualified pickers. 20 YEARS AGO August 7, 1980 Motorcycle traffic mishaps have taken , the spotlight in Rappahannock the past few days. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, a single-cycle accident occurred Saturday evening or Route 2111 east of Washington. Thomas Lynwood Williams of Culpeper lost control of his 1973 Yamaha near Rose Hill, turned over and skidded down the highway. He was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital... a twocycle accident was investigated by the same officer Monday on Route 211 at Ginger Hill. Two cyclists, William Wilkinson and Kenneth Tomkins, both of Ft. Walton, Fla. were traveling east when Wilkinson made an improper turn in front of Tomkins. They collided and both motorcycles went out of control, said Baines, and slid into the median. About $50 damage was done to each machine, Wilkinson’s 1966 Harley Davidson, and Tomkin’s 1965 Harley. Wilkinson was taken to Fauquier Hospital Warrenton... Caught in the same economic crunch that has forced lay-offs and plant shut downs across the country, Aileen, Inc., Rappahannock’s largest single employer, has gone to a four-day week at their Flint Hill facility and will close the doors to their Strasburg plant at the end of August, leaving 190 workers without jobs. According to Wane Walker, manager of the Aileen Flint Hill branch, reduced sales in the garment manufacturer’s children’s line cause the closintr at. Strasburg. He emphasized, however, that the company expects no major cutback in Rappahannock. To date, said Walker, layoffs here have been very light, totaling only 15. “A few Photo Courtesy of Rappahannock News Archives Washington Apple Gro-. wers Coop, at Washington was burglarized..i (August 1965) The safe, which was chiseled and pried open, is examined by Trooper J.B. Willis, Nelson Nethers andSheriff C.K. Estes. more people have been off a few days at • a time when there hasn’t been any work,” he added... Walker anticipates that the Flint Hill plant will return to a full schedule in November. “That’s what we’re hoping,” he concluded. 10 YEARS AGO August 2, 1995 John and Denise Pearson have purchased the Flint Hill Public House, and will continue to operate the restaurant and inn with an added emphasis on con- - ference and meeting facilities. The couple have worked as chefs at the Flint Hill Public House since the fall of 1994, so when former owners Conrad and Robin Koneczny approached them -■ about buying the business, they welcomed the opportunity. John formerly worked for Sutton Place Gourmet, and Denise recently graduated from the professional cooking and pastry programs at L’Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda.

BOS From Page A1 member Robert Anderson, noted that professional mechanics, welders and such often actually work in fairly bare bones pre-fabricated steel structures, and asked why such buildings shouldn’t suffice for classes in automechanics and welding. . Both Chappell and County Administrator John McCarthy briefly suggested that such buildings have too short a lifespan for the purpose. * As the discussion moved on to new track plans, Chappell was asked about alternative tfack bids. Chappell explained that he needed a clear directive from the BOS concerning what they were likely to finance before soliciting bids. McCarthy proposed a simpler tact. “Take a pared down project, something where it is close to just earth moving and asphalt, and I believe we would get more bidders” because more companies would be readily able to do the project. Sensing consensus, Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes brought the discussion to a close and asked the board if they agreed to authorize Chappell to solicit bids for a pared down track. Hampton District Board member Bryant Lee offered. “I’d be willing to do a motion if we don’t have to take a bid.” On that basis, Frazier moved that the BOS authorize Chappell to solicit bids for a pared down, simpler track, and for an alternative steel modular structure for the band room. The motion passed, with the proviso that the BOS may refuse any and all bids. Spending that does not exceed the previously approved budget is already within the purview of the School Board. So Chappell was able to accept the current bid on the auxiliary gym while soliciting other bids on modular buildings and a pared down track. For more details, see Chappell’s own update, in Chappell’s Comer,'on page A6. Work at the elementary school Chappell briefed the BOS on progress with current roof and HVAC work being done at Rappahannock Elementary School. He expressed confidence that “barring unforeseen problems, we should be done August 15, or sometime that week”. While predicting timeliness, Chappell cautioned that a severe heat wave slowing the pace of labor, or a severe, prolonged wet spell, complicating labor could both delay completion. Chappell is also looking lor volunteers to help the school put books back on the library shelves as soon as the roof project will allow. If you are available, email him at rchappell@rappahannock. k 12. va. us. Conservation grant Representing the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Sharon Pierce and Susan Strittmater presented the BOS with a check for $15,000, earmarked for conservation and preservation within the county. Groundskeeping dissent Several ladies from the Washington Garden Club, speaking as private citizens, were at the meeting to oppose proposed courthouse groundskeeping plans. The Garden Club helps maintain the courthouse grounds on a volunteer basis. All urged simpler, plain lawn, slow growing boxwood and maybe magnolia trees, as being truly the lowest maintenance. Hence, they argued, such plants would provide the best appearance for the cost. And be more likely well maintained. Mrs. Richard Kilby, implored: “I can’t get my beds weeded. How in the world will I get to this?” McCarthy responded that the plan is merely a long term goal, subject to change with input such as this. McCarthy suggested the BOS make no changes for now, and continue gathering input. Shenandoah Park gets new superintendent The BOS welcomed and spoke with newly installed Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Chas Cartright. Cartright, recently from Dinosaur National Monument, a park straddling Utah and Colorado, emphasized a desire to be a g6od neighbor. He expressed sensitivity toward the history of the park and its impact on people. Cartright also declared a goal of establishing a yearround visitor center for the park, and a commitment to expanding current mutual assistance pacts with surrounding counties. Fire levy approved The BOS unanimously approved this year’s fire levy. Estes commented that the several fundraising carnivals are really more a public service than a real source of revenue, and publicly thanked the county’s fire and rescue squads for their many public services.

Headwaters From Page A1 for themselves and families at home. At the end of class, students received a cookbook to take home with them. Drumming:Instructors: Wendi Sirat and Michael Phillips. Drumming was a great team building workshop, which, encouraged self-expression. This workshop allowed a creative and productive way to release stress and aggression. They also got to make rattles from recycled vitamin bottles and aquarium rocks and they made drums from five gallon buckets. The rattles and drums are decorated with collages from magazines collected from the Flatwood Recycling Center. Mask Making:Instructor Margaret Schadler demonstrated the use of clay, papier mache, paint and lots of individual craft materials, the children created their own masks. One of the interns, Billy Rechin, painted a big slug that was made out of paper mache by Margaret Schadler. Rechin said, “he was reminded of how much talent you can find in a young child, and was looking forward to next year.” Drama: Instructor: Jean Elizabeth. Children wrote, directed and perform d in their own plays and musicals. Tile Makipg:Instructor: Monica Bracken. Children were taught to express themselves through the use of clay and paint, along with intern Rocio Loya, who said, “she liked watching the children work .with tile making and enjoyed making things herself.” This workshop was also responsible for producing products which Headwaters will auction at the Taste of Rappahannock annual fundraising event in the fall. Basket Weaving: Instructor: Harriette Rosenblatt. The children learned to design and hand weave their own baskets. Working with Therapy Dogs:Instructor: Sally Petty. Children learned how to train, handle and use therapy dogs in our community. Activities included: Safety around dogs, grooming and bathing dogs, clicker and agility training and learning just “what is a therapy dog?” Children also learned about the “Books and Barks” reading education assistance dogs program (R.E.A.D.) and pet care with vet tech Vicki Wilkinson from Rose Hill Vets. Rappahannock’s animal wardens also paid them a visit. Incredibly talented children There are a lot of incredibly talented children in the community and given the chance to express themselves, they do. Headwater’s summer workshops give them that opportunity to shine. All of this could not have happened without the countless hours of work provided by the Summer Workshops’ instructors , volunteers, interns and many members of the community who all helped to make the Summer Workshops such a huge success. , As the current committee chair for Summer Workshops, Lucille Niessen said, “I can’t express how amazing all the children are, and what talent they are have! Our instructors put together interesting, fun and educational programs for their workshop. All of us who participated feel the programs are very worthwhile.” The Headwaters’ mission is to foster educational excellence by cultivating the cooperative spirit and resources of the whole community to benefit all students. They have lived up to this mission. Headwaters summer workshops are open to all children of Rappahannock County from grades two to eight whether from public or private schools or home-schooled. Headwaters’ summer workshops are made possible by the generous financial support of our community: businesses and private donors and Headwaters. For more information, or if you’d like to make a donation to keep these summer workshops going for years to come contact: Headwaters at P. O. Box 408, Washington VA 22747 or call (540) 675-1819. I Chappell’s Corner At a special meeting this morning the Rappahannock County School Board approved the facilities plan listed below. This plan will serve the needs of students in the fine arts and athletic programs, both important parts of our instructional program. This plan addresses the needs for space for a) the RCES Band, b) additional RCES Physical Education (recommended in the strategic planning process) for our children in grades K-7 to reduce childhood obesity, and c) additional winter practice space to prevent students practicing until 9:00 PM or later. Approved Build the auxiliary gym-" This price eliminates brick on exterior, bleachers, paving, etcetera. Estimated cost: $1,200,000 1) Replace just the undersized band room with a new 28 X 60 modular unit- Estimated cost:$ 70,000 2) Explore locating the band room unit adjacent to the new auxiliary gym. We will continue to use the existing three modular units at this time. 3) Re-bid track per the action of the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 1. The Supervisors Estimated cost: $350,000 4) Authorized County Administrator John McCarthy to work with me to re-bid the track with the proviso that the Board could reject any and all bids. Note: There are $51,000 in Common Ground funds plus some anticipated additional interest funds of about $50,000 (revised est.) on the VPSA loan that can be dedicated to the track. $50,000 has been shifted from purchase of modular units to the track project. As an alternative to the track as originally designed, we are looking at constructing an asphalt track without the acrylic surface as a cost saving option. We are looking at other changes in the project specs that have the potential to reduce the cost of the track to $350,000. Under that scenario, additional funding needs are estimated to be $200,000. Students head to Sweden to participate in ‘Play for Peace’ A group of four Rappahannock County high school students will represent the United States and attend a two-week youth camp in Trogen, Switzerland to experience peace building through sport and play at the world famous Pestalozzi Children’s Village from August 13 through 27, 2005. The UN Special Advisor to the Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace, Adolf Ogi, in conjunction with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation are organizing this year’s event in cooperation with the internationally recognized humanitarian organization “Right to Play”. Switzerland will host 200 youth from 20 countries, ages 13 - 17, from Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The students will experience first hand, the social values of play and sport through opportunities for intercultural exchange dining their stay. Joint workshops will focus on tolerance and acceptance, intercultural bridge building, personal rights, and learning from others. Preparing for their trip Rappahannock County students who will be attending “Play for Peace” include students from both public and private schools. They possess musical talent, athletic ability and are advocates for non-violence and peace. J.L. Gardner, previously of Hearthstone School, is a rising 11th grader at RCHS this year. He has been a talented member of the Hearthstone band as a saxophonist and is an avid snowboard enthusiast. Osha Kondori will be a 10th grader at RCHS, is on the girl’s varsity soccer team, plays piano and is a member of the competition cheerleading squad, taking time out with permission from her rigorous practice schedule for this event. Both students are hum Washington, VA. Vanessa Dunn from Hearthstone School is a Sperryville resident, is a seasoned violinist with the Hearthstone band and recently attended an “Emissary for Peace” mission to Costa Rica. Windham Lucking, also from Spenyville, is a rising senior, a talented drummer and President of Virginia’s first 4-H snowboard/ski club. He will attend Lord Fairfax Community College in Warrenton as a dual enrolled student at RCHS in the fall. He hopes to finish his senior year in Norway as an exchange student. Excursions planned Tb make for a more exciting experience, personalities from the international world of sports, politics and business will be in attendance at the opening and closing ceremonies. A trip to the Zurich World Class Athletics event on August 19th is planned. Other excursions to area communities in the Alps that include St. Gallen on Lake Constance will provide opportunities for sight seeing. Tb round out their intercultural experience, Rappahannock County students will be housed at the Village with students from the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. Other participating countries include Sri Lanka, Indonesia, South Africa, Ethiopia, Palestine, Israel, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Serbia. Preparations for the trip are being organized by Ms. Kitty Keller-Keyser, nursery and kindergarten teacher of Hearthstone School in Sperryville, who was invited to lead the delegation. Her husband, Joe Keyser, local contractor, has been assisting with organizational matters. Miranda Hope, RCHS drama instructor, “Next Step” Advisor and previous Hearthstone teacher, assisted the students in refreshing their knowledge of the game and instructed them in how to teach ultimate frisbee to 25- 30 teens. She has offered to lend her athletic equipment. Music producer Steve Van Dam assisted in writing an arrangement of the song they will be performing live. Sports News Fall Baseball Central Va.

Aside from having anxiety about leaving the onl^ existence of which we air certain, dying also poses th£ question of whether our consciousness continues. Religions such as Judaisd*, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others teach that life on earth is merely one stage of existence and that death is not necessarily the end. What matters, then, is not how long we live, but hqty well. If the soul continues to exist, then the actions at)d choices made on earth can be judged after death. With th$ in mind, avoid doing anjharm that cannot be atoned for in this life. ; Finding significance in the present through committed actions to support others provides meaning for many.

Flint Hill celebrates four days of old-fashioned festivity and fun By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News The usually quiet little village of Flint Hill came alive with celebration this past week , as it hosted four days of family fun and good times at a lively carnival and a small-town ' parade. There were pretty youijg ladies riding on convertibles and on top of fire trucks, beautiful horses and Shetland ponies, grand antique cars, marching bands, and talented majorettes tossing flaming batons. For the farmers and truck enthusiasts, there was a wealth of farm equipment paraded as well as the latest high-tech firefighting vehicles. According to Bob Metcalfe, . treasurer of the sponsoring Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company this year’s car! nival and parade—its 51st annual event—was among their most successful. Nancy Jones, a consummate volunteer for this organization, outdid her previous records and sold nearly $22,000 of tickets for the raffled red Chevrolet pickup truck, won • by Julia Mahoney of Front Royal. Other winners included Bill Jarrett, Jr. who took away the black heifer donated by W. R. Welch and Sons. Also, there ' was the crowning of local beauty queens and honorary Miss Fire Chiefs. At the top of the list ' was Miss Honorary Flint Hill Fire Chief, Sherri Woodward (who also serves as the reigning . '‘MissRappahannock2005”) In ' addition, Brittany Atkins was chosen Miss Honorary Fire Chief with first runner up Alexandra Phillips. Karli Wharton was chosen as “Little Miss Honorary Fire Chief.” Despite the threat of storms, the rains came and went before the festivities began and hun. dreds of folks came out to have fun at the 4-day carnival and watch the parade which, as always, drew a large and enthusiastic crowd of children and adults. The annual Flint Hill Parade began with a patriotic showing of the colors with an impressive honor guard from the Fraternal Order of Police in Front Royal. Following in I their footsteps were dozens of cars, floats, trucks, wagons, vehicles of every kind and class, marching bands, beauty queens, and more. A special treat were the vintage antique cars from the collection of Robert Claymier at Desert Rose Ranch near Huine, including a 1937 Duesenberg rambler and a 1957 Classic Fairlane Club Sedan. Dressed in a flowing Middle Eastern robe, Claymier himself rode an Arabian gelding in the parade. The carnival’s many attractions included a very popular dunking booth (celebrity night on .Wednesday), great music (including our very own Richard Brady and his “Shenandoah Travelers” playing country, western and gospel). There also were fun rides, games gadore, pony rides for the kids, the best chicken barbeque around prepared by Bruce Vierling, and delicious homemade cakes and pies prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary ... and so it went! But, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Let’s celebrate again with those who entertained and those who were entertained at this four-day festival as friends and families came out to have fun at a small town extravaganza. W.C.

American Film Institute professor and author Patti Bellantoni will travel from Los Angeles to present the two-day festival, showing how the choice of color in film can influence audience mood, reaction, and interpretation of a film’s plot. Lively and entertaining Bellantoni will illustrate her talk with vivid examples from films, and encourage group dialogue throughout the festival. Friday, September 23 at 8 p.m., the 2004 critically acclaimed drama “Dear Frankie” will be shown, followed by a talk and group discussion led by Bellantoni. Saturday, September 24, Bellantoni will continue her talk and discussion from 10 until noon, and over lunch (starting at noon) with box lunches provided by Sunnyside Market. Bellantoni’s recently published book, “If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling,” guides filmmakers in making the right color selections for their films, and helps movie buffs understand why they feel the way they do while watching movies that incorporate certain colors. Copies of Bellantoni’s book will be available for purchase throughout the two-day film festival. Conversations with the author’s colleagues, including two-time Oscar winning Production Designer Henry Bumstead (Tb Kill A Mockingbird, The Sting, Unforgiven, Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby) reveal how color is often used to communicate what is not said. Says Bumstead about Bellantoni’s book, “A wonderful idea and very impressive! Patti’s book shows the importance cf color in developing both character and story.” Another Bellantoni colleague Judy Photo courtesy of Betsy Hille Patti Bellantoni, Author, “If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling.” Irola, ASC, Head of Cinematography, USC Cinema-Television, said, “We see color—Patti Bellantoni feels color. She is passionate about how we (the audience) are affected by the use of color as an emotion in film. Bellantoni’s book pulls me back into my favorite films and helps me look at them in a new way.” Bellantoni has spent twenty five years researching the effects of color in film, having studied under the renowned color theorist Joseph Albers. Her faculty credits include The Conservatory of the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, the world’s premier film conservatory. Now a well respected authority on the power of color in film among film industry leaders, Bellantoni teaches how certain colors trigger certain emotions. For example, she shows how the use of red in films is tied to themes and characters that are powerful, defiant, anxious, angry or romantic, and she shows how the use of purple is tied to death. This festival is a must for film students, artists, designers, educators, healers, interior decorators, psychotherapists and scientists, but will also be invaluable to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the visual experience. Admission to the festival is as follows: RAAC members: $10 a day or $18 for both days; for attendees who are not members of RAAC (general public): $15 a day or $25 for both days. Box lunches will be available Saturday, September 24 for $8. For information call 540-675-3193 or visit www.raac.org. Early registration is recommended as seating is limited. Registration forms are available at the Theatre at Washington or online at . Please mail in your registration and check made payable to RAAC, P.O. Box 24, Washington, VA 22747. V * Schmidts launched their latest book in New York On Thursday afternoon, July 28, Studio Dante, New York City’s latest refurnished landmark theater was filled with press and guests to launch the city’s sale of Pennsylvania will hold a similar launch and book signing at the Peter Herdic House, a 19th century building now the ho ae of a small, elegant, __ four-star restau Victorian Kitchens & Baths” written and photographed by Rappahannock residents Franklin and Esther Schmidt of Woodville. “We were delighted to see so many of our friends and clients in the newspaper and magazine press come out to help us celebrate our latest book,” said Frank H«4JM * Mk-< I Whnttfc •4fcf •» U«» *; .***<•» I r"fc 1 rant. While photography for “Victorian Kitchens & Baths” was created throughout the nation, much of it was done in Williamsport and the community felt it would be an appropriate venue for a launch event. Similar events are planned in Atlanta, Georgia; Washington, D.C., New lin bchrmdt. All afternoon and into the evening, old and new friends came to drink wine, eat some great Italian food and enjoy each other’s company. “We spent the afternoon signing books and talking to people, many of whom we hadn’t seen in years” said Esther Schmidt who added, “we are especially proud of this coffee table style book and it has already made Book-of-the-Month Club.” Studio Dante, the once rundown and now elegant theater, located near Madison Square Garden, was bought and rehabbed by Emmy Award winning actor, Michael Imperioli and his wife, interior designer, Victoria Imperioli. Victoria, an expert in historic design, contributed a chapter to the book and felt that their 19th century theater would make the perfect setting for this particular book launch. The Imperiolis, who hosted the book launch and signing, had their New York City home photographed by Franklin and Esther Schmidt for a cover feature in “Architectural Digest” in 2003. Next launch Friday, August 5, Williamsport, Orleans, another in New York at Rizzoli’s Bookstore and here in Rappahannock. "Were not sure exactly where and when, but we’re definitely planning to have one here in Rappahannock,” said Ester Schmidt, "perhaps in the fall” The Schmidts have resided in Rappahannock County since 1979 and have done architectural interior, food, product and portrait photography locally and throughout the United States. While continuing in their magazine work and negotiating on their next books, the Schmidts are also working toward having a show of their photography at a Washington, D C. gallery. Third publication “Victorian Kitchens & Baths” is the Schmidts’ third book, the other two being "PreFab Home”, the companion book to a Bob Villa television show and “Cabin Kitchens & Baths.” All were published by Gibbs Smith Publishing and are available at many bookstores nationally, on Amazon, com, on VictonanKitchensAndBaths com, and at Barnes & Noble.

Homer in 1876 with 45 members, all of whom were baptized in the Rush River the same day. This group was allowed to hold services in the former Episcopal Church which stood on Wheeler Street until August 28, 1880. At that time the congregation purchased a lot on Main , Street, about 325 ft. from the comer of AWieeler Street, with the lot aescnDea as Demg at tne ena ot tne stone fence in line of road leading from Washington across Fodderstack Mountain, corner of land knowti as ‘old school house lot’.” The church grew both spiritually and physically under each succeeding pastor. Each one furnished leadership for the organization of church clubs and church groups, and for improvements in the building and facilities. Although spoken of as the First Baptist Church of Washington, this name did not become official through the county courts until December, 1969. Information has been taken from the book “Fact, Fiction, Foolishness and Fairfax “by: Elisabeth B. and C. E. Johnson, Jr. The First Baptist Church began her 101st year with the Rev. Wendell R. Grant as the tenth pastor. He was installed on May 15, 1977.

The goat cheese Maragos is getting is sweet, creamy and fresh, with just the right, light touch of goaty bite to it. It’s creaminess and faint bitter hint make a nice counterpoint to the crisp, sweet and sour flavors of the beets. Another artistically elaborate dish is an Appetizer Maragos does of Maine lobster and avocado salad, in little morsels wrapped in paper thin slices of Zucchini. Four little bundles mark the four comers of a square white bowl, resting in a light tomato broth that complements the lobster without overwhelming it. It’s quite good. On the simpler, more straightforward side is a cedar plank roasted brie with peppers and dried tomatoes. He’s found a really nice brie, and roasting it on the cedar imparts a slight woodsy smokiness to the warm, gooey cheese, and the pepper and tomato elements round out the tastes and textures of the dish beautifully. Also pan seared sea scallops with citrus and chili beurre blanc is similarly well composed and balanced in its simplicity. The sea scallops are large, sweet and fresh, with a sweet tender inside and tooth some, crisp seared extenor. They carry just a hint of a light marshy, salty sea note, counterpointed with the citrusy, sweet and spicy notes of its butter sauce and orange salsa. A roast rack of tender, delicate Colorado Lamb, encrusted in goat cheese and rosemary, highlights Greek notes. It has a cool, summery cucumber and sour cream tsatziki, and a crisp salad of “ouzo spiked” cucumbers, that seem to be an unusual blond heirloom variety. Salmon with a sweet and tart tamarind crust is succulent and flavorful too. All the desserts are good, but the best are warm crepes and lemon custard ice cream, ladled with hot, fresh bing cherries sauteed in a sweet and nch, freshly made pan sauce. If you want to eschew the sweets, they also have a plate of several very nice cheeses, with a different fresh compote complementing each. Local inclinations Looking around for good local produce, one of Maragos’ favorite suppliers is the Whipple farm. They are devoted to heirloom vegetables, and have a “bio-dynamic” style. Biodynamic is a term of art for foods and methods which strive toward the organic, using as few chemicals as possible, but which are not certified organic. It’s a statement of philosophy and an advertisement of their methods. “All their produce is heirloom. Sicilian zucchini, six varieties of eggplant, wonderful cucumbers. You order, they pick it and bring it.” It stays fresh on the vine and branch until the last moment- not stored, so it’s as fresh as is humanly possible.' Maragos also gets what he can from the farmer’s markets in Culpeper and Charlottesville. Two Fotis, two eras The name “Foti’s” has two meanings. Foti is a nickname for the greek name “Foteos”. It is Maragos’ middle name. But the name is meant as a tribute to an older Foti as well. Bom and raised within the small, close knit Greek community in Minot, North Dakota, Maragos comes from a long culinary line. Maragos’ father was a butcher and ran the dining room of the family restaurant in Minot. On the wall in the dining room are two photos in one frame. They are crystal clear black and white photos that could have been taken yesterday. But they are from 74 years ago, in 1931. v,apiunng a continuity, a family history in the restaurant business, and a feel for a certain immutable character to the restaurant life, the picture shows a gentleman in waiterly garb perfectly typical today as well as yesteryear, with apron and collared shirt, holding a baby. The man’s name is Foteos, and the baby is Maragos’ father. A close friend of the family, Foteos, (nicknamed 'Foti’i “was the person who introduced my grandmother to my grandfather” explains Maragos. Storied surroundings Looking around you’ll note the interior is sparse but elegant, with dark wood floors and brick walls. The most conspicuous decorative touch is a niche with a neo-classical statue, which predates the current establishment, but seems quite in keeping with the Mediterranean tone Maragos is seeking. Maragos says the building “felt like home when I first stepped in here. It had a Mediterranean feel to the hall, with the wrought iron, the open space and the brick and stone”. Ask bartender Jonathan Minas, who has remained a constant in the building through several incarnations, and he’ll tell you the history of the building. He will point out the original pressed tin ceiling tiles, typical of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’ around Virginia. When you look in at the front of the building, the big picture window with ‘Foti’s’ written in gold letters is surrounded by frosted glass bricks and framed by two small doors. These architectural details, Minas will tell you, speak of the building’s origins as an earlier twentieth-century ABC store. The glass bricks served as a kind of sign, and the doors provided a separate entrance and exit for the package customers, just as ABC stores have today. In that old style of ABC store, like those today, there were two separate doors in the front, one to go in, one to go out. You’d go to the counter and place your order, and they’d go get it. The glass bricks around the main window in front help identify it as a former liquor store. In one of the building’s prior renovations, large, rustic antique beams were incorporated into the ceiling around the bar. The beams come from an old candy factory in Warrenton. And here and there are examples of wrought iron work, which Minas will tell you, were all salvage materials. The service As you walk into Foti’s, you’re likely to be met by the bright red locks, crisp English accent and smiling face of maitre d’, Sue Wilson, who will guide you to your table. Wilson, recently engaged to Maragos, runs the dining room. Wilson hails from Malvern, a small town in Worcerstershire, in the Western Midlands of England. She received her degree in hotel and restaurant management in Switzerland, where she lived and worked in a couple of small towns on Lake Lucerne, near Interlaken. She worked at a fine dining establishment at Disneyland, then was a restaurant manager back home in England. Although fairly settled, with a house and career, five years ago Wilson came across an opportunity to work at the Inn at Little Washington. Wilson was at the Inn for four and a half years, where she met Maragos while working as a senior server. She overseas and trains the wait staff, who are young and eager to please. Wine service Once sat, Packwood will approach you with a wine list and offer his suggestions based upon your taste, price range and menu selections. Packwood was cellar master and a sommelier at the Inn at Little Washington, where he worked for half a decade alongside their director of wine service. From *94 to 2000 Packwood was in Munich, Germany, running the wine department of Opus One, an American cuisine restaurant named for the highly regarded Bordeaux style California red wine. Packwood tells us: “The birth of our wine list came from Frank’s (Maragos’) menu. I took what was on the menu and did a wine pairing of possibilities for each item on the menu and that was the original list. “ Initially, the list of 17 reds and 17 whites were spread all over the world, with only a couple regions represented more than once. Since then, he’s been working to slowly expand and deepen the list. Foti’s is located at 219 East Davis St., Culpeper, VA 22701 Appetizers range from $9 to $15 and main courses from $18 to $35. They are open Tuesday -Saturday, 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The restaurant has a live pianist on Fridays and Saturdays.

Battle of Cedar Mountain will be remembered On the sweltering afternoon of August 9, 1862 Confederate forces commanded by “Stonewall Jackson” defeated Union soldiers under John Pope in what would become the deadliest day in Culpeper County’s history. By the time Jackson called a halt to the battle after dark, 3800 wounded and dying covered the battlefield while parched survivors lapped up the precious water in Cedar Run. The Friends of Cedar Mountain Battlefield and the Culpeper Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy are planning two days of activities August 6 and 7 to not only remember the soldiers in both armies who fought, but to also educate the public about the battle and current preservation efforts for the battlefield.

After the service, the United Daughters of the Confederacy invite participants to a reception in the fellowship hall until 11:30. Then activities move to the battlefield where the UDC, a Union representative, re-enactors and a cavalry honor guard will place wreaths at the monument in honor of both Union and Confederate soldiers.

Don’t rain on my parade...the carnival is over Carnival week has come and gone, and it was a lot of work and a lot of fun. At this point, I haven’t heard how we fared in the fund raising department, but we will hope for the best. The weather was a bit gloomy and probably kept some people home, but, for the most part, a good time was had by all. A nice crowd turned out for Saturday’s finale. A big round of applause to everyone who worked so hard this year, no matter the job. You are each and every one a winner. And, of course, thanks to those who came and helped to support the fire and rescue company. Couldn’t have done it without you. And congratulations to Julia Mahoney of Front Royal who won the brand new little red pickup truck. Julia grew up in Flint Hill, and attended Flint Hill Elementary School, as did I. Enjoy the truck, Julia. Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com Changing times Heard somebody say the other day how much and how fast the times are changing. They said, people don’t have gardens anymore. As I listened to that, I wondered why my back hurt so bad from digging four bushels of potatoes. But, it is true that things are different. Consider this: Our friend William (Bud) Smoot just hit the lottery. I forget the exact numbers, but it was something like $2.6 million, and Bud took the $1.5 million payout. Linda and I were talking about what we would do with a cool $1.5 million, and one of the first things that comes to mind is to buy or build a nice house. Then we read the Rappahannock News and realized that most of the places we would like to have, we couldn’t buy with $1.5 million! Oh well, I guess we could make a nice down payment on our dream house. Vegetable gardens As for gardens, however, I have to admit that when it’s weed pulling time, I wonder why in the world I am still doing this. I am blessed with the resources to be able to buy a few beans and ‘taters. But then, I sit down at the table, to fresh new potatoes, boiled with the skin on them, buttered beets, com on the cob, sliced tomatoes, fresh green beans, and crook neck squash with onions and cheese, a big chunk of combread with butter and, well, maybe it is worth it after all. The real pleasures in life are few. I’ve seen a lot of summers come and go, but my taste buds still work really well, ~ ^d, for the time being, I’ll proLmly be out there next year, plowing and planting, and weeding and spraying, and picking and shucking, and canning (we’re up to 21quarts of string beans, so far), and enjoying nature’s bounty, God willing. New neighbors in town After church on Sunday, we ran up to Settle’s to get a paper. On the way back, just before we got to the Public House, out of the driveway strolls a little bear. Walked right across the road, just as unconcerned as could be. We slowed down to watch him, and when he got to the first big tree, he paused, stood up and put his front feet against the tree. Then he looked at us, and probably figured we weren’t much of a threat, and he continued on his way. He couldn’t have weighed over 75 pounds. We looked carefully to see if there were others, but there were none. My guess is he was about the size they get when mama runs them off to fend for themselves. He probably hasn’t gotten the hang of being on his own,yet, and is still checking things out. Last week it was a cormorant; this week we have a bear in town. Flint Hill seems to be turning into a wildlife sanctuary. Rolling rabbits Linda and I have been watching a little rabbit in the yard for several weeks. We call him Racer Rabbit for the way he runs in and out of Linda’s flower bed. This week he showed us something new. Where our driveway meets the grass, there is a small area , of very fine sand. Early Sunday morning, Racer decided that was a nice place to roll. Linda said he rolled in the sand just like a dog or a cat. I didn't see him, but I figured he must have picked up a flea or a chigger, somewhere. Sunday evening we drove to Charlottesville with some friends to get a bite to eat and catch Randy Kohrs at The Gravity Lounge. We were a little later getting up on Monday, and to our delight, Racer was there, rolling in the sand. It was quite a sight. I will have to admit, I have seen more rabbits this year than I have seen in a long time. And that’s a good thing. Get well list I mentioned last week that Bill Welch had fallen and broken his leg. Bill has undergone surgery twice at Fauquier Hospital for this injury. Please keep him on your prayer list until we can get him up and around and back to his old self.

Watermelons were often placed in the burial tombs of kings to nourish them in the afterlife. • By the 10th century, watermelon found its way to China, which is now the world’s number one producer of watermelons. In China and Japan, watermelon is now a popular gift to bring a host. • Southern food historian, John Egerton, believes watermelon made its way to the United States with African slaves as he states in his book, “Southern Food”. • Watermelon is now grown in over 96 countries. Over 1,200 varieties are grown worldwide. • Watermelon’s official name is Citrullus Ianatus of the botanical family Cucurbitaceae and it is a vegetable. It is related to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash. • Early explorers used watermelons as canteens: • Watermelon is 92% water. • A watermelon was once thrown at Roman Governor Demosthenes during a political debate. Placing the watermelon upon his head, he thanked the thrower for providing him with a helmet to wear as he fought Philip of Macedonia. • In 1990, Bill Carson, of Arrington, Tennessee, grew the largest watermelon at 262 pounds that is still on the record books according to the Guinness Book of World Records. • Watermelon is the ideal health food because it doesn’t contain any fat or cholesterol, is an excellent source of vita mins A, B6 and C, and contains fiber and potassium. • The first cookbook published in the United States in 1796 contained a recipe for watermelon rind pickles. • In Israel and Egypt, the sweet taste of watermelon is often paired with the salty taste of feta cheese. • By weight, watermelon is the most consumed melon in the U.S., followed by cantaloupe and honeydew. In 2001, over 4 billion pounds of watermelon were produced in the U.S. • Every part of a watermelon is edible, even the seeds and rinds.

Slow down...we move too fast now We live in a fast-paced world, always doing something, talking, reading, listening to the radio, planning what next. Our minds are kept naggingly busy. What lengths will we go to keep away from ourselves! We have such an inability to relax. There are always just a few more tasks we have to get done. Sometimes it almost seems that we are afraid of what might happen if we let our minds be idle for even a moment. We fill in every crack and crevice with activity.

We have become addicted to busyness, and if we are not busy we feel worthless, at a loss, and even frightened. Sometimes we feel that if everything isn’t perfect, we cannot be grateful for anything. We easily fall into all-or-nothing thinking. When we do, we miss the beauty of the sunrise and the other forms of goodness that surround us each day such as the big blue mountains with their soft spirit. Sometimes we take life for granted from day to day. Life can be short, let’s take time out from our busyness, to enjoy the beauty of life that surrounds us. August is SMA Awareness month Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease. The motor neurons affect the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, and swallowing. It is a relatively common “rare disorder.” Approximately 1 in 6000 babies bom are affected, and about one in 40 people are genetic carriers. SMA affects muscles throughout the body, although the proximal muscles (those closest to the trunk of one’s body - i.e. shoulders, hips, and back) are often most severely affected. Weakness in the legs is generally .greater than in the arms. Sometimes feeding and swallowing can be affected. Involvement of respiratory muscles (muscles involved in breathing and coughing) can lead to an increased tendency for pneumonia and other lung problems. Sensation and the ability to feel are not affected. Intellectual activity is normal and it is often observed that patients with SMA are unusually bright and sociable. Patients are generally grouped into one of four categories. based on certain key motor function milestones. . Speed limit raised A little reminder for all of us who travel on Route 29 to Albemarle, Greene, Madison, Culpeper, and Fauquier counties. The Virginia General Assembly mandated the speed limit increase under legislation earlier this year. Following a traffic study by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the law directed that the speed limit be raised to 60 miles per hour, where there is unlimited access, and multilane and divided highways.

A review of ‘The Poisonwood Bible’ by Barbara Kingsolver It’s hot outside. These sweltering days make even the normal Rappahannock county tasks of wrestling bears, choosing between produce stands, and hoping/fearing that Paris Hilton will drop by the Inn at Little Washington exhausting. That’s why you should stay inside and be amazed, disturbed and entertained by Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible instead. Kingsolver gives us the story of the Price family, who move from Georgia to The Congo as Baptist missionaries in 1959 and are destroyed and changed by the struggle between their former Leave it to Beaver meets Polyanna existence and life in Africa among poverty, revolution, and ant invasions. The Poisonwood Bible is a former Oprah selection, but you shouldn’t read too much into r BookRapp Monty Tayloe that. This book defies classification, managing to talk about religion, love, marriage, colonialism, race and just about every other complicated polarizing subject I can think of. Even if you don’t agree with Kingsolver on every issue ( and believe me, you won’t) you will find yourself thinking very hard about why she might be wrong, and that’s usually a good thing. While she’s stirring up your brain, Kingsolver forces you to care about what happens to her characters. The villain is Nathan, a self righteous Baptist Minister , and the only Price who doesn’t narrate his own chapters in the book. Nathan brings his family to the Congo tb convert the Congolese into Christians, but is from the beginning frustrated because he’s too stubborn to adapt to Africa or people that are different from himself. Nathan’s attempts to baptize people are seen by the villagers as a scheme to feed children to crocodiles, and when he tries to proclaim the greatness of Jesus in Congolese he accidentally tells his flock that Jesus is poisonous. He’s mean and uncompromising and sees his wife,four daughters, and all the trials of The Congo as burdens sent by God to test him “as Job was tested,” the key point there being that the biblical Job was blameless in the tortures God visited on him. When Nathan finds out that two of his daughters are academically gifted, he gives his thoughts on the matter in the form of a folksy saying: “Sending a girl to college is like pouring water in your shoes. It’s hard to say which is worse, seeing it run out and waste the water, or seeing it hold in and wreck the shoes.” Kingsolver has described Orleanna, the mother, as “absolute paralyzing guilt” and as a late 1950’s mother in Africa, she has no control over her husband or the safety of her children, and in the wider view, she has no control the actions of her country. This connection between Orleanna’s control over life and country is important because there is a strong political element to The Poisoniccxxi Bible. Woven in with the story of the Prices is the story of the Congolese struggle for independence. The Congo was one of the many lesser developed nations that served as a battleground for Superpowers during the Cold War, and Kingsolver has said that she wanted to write this book because of her feelings about American interference in Africa. “I live in a society that grew prosperous from exploiting others,” Kingsolver explained on her website. Her political stance has been in the news recently, as she made #73 in Bernard Goldberg’s current bestseller The 100 People who are Screwing Up America. Whatever your feelings about her politics, Kingsolver’s narration of America’s involvement in the Congo is fascinating and informative, and at the least would make a good starting point to further explore African history in more academic sources. The Poisonwood Bible is a book for people who like to find things out while they are entertained. Readers will learn about life in The Congo and the King James Bible, about army ants and mangwansi beans and a million other things that will grab your brain the way they must have grabbed Barbara ‘ Kingsolver as she wrote. Read it and learn while you laugh, grimace, and occasionally throw things , possibly at Paris Hilton. If you'd like to comment on or contribute to BookRapp, either by suggesting a book for me to read and review or possibly to review one yourself, please contact me at mtayloe@ti mespapers. com. _ t Call to Advertise! 540-347-4222 : .
