By Monty Tayloe Special to the Rappahannock New* A trio of local women, calling themselves the “Chicks from Rappahannock,” took third place as a relay team in the Culpeper Sprint; Triathlon on August 7. “I guess we had county pride” explained Carrie Mowatt-Larssen, a 40-year-old mom from Gid Brown Hollow. Mowatt-Laissen, competed along with two of her friends , Mindy Alexander of Woodville and Susana Barnes, also from Gid Brown Hollow. The Culpeper Sprint triathlon consisted of a 750-meter swim through Mountain Run Lake, followed by a 17-mile bike ride and a 5K run. Competitors could either ...... ... HIM ■!»!« compete m three person relay teams, with each member taking a leg of the race, or complete the whole race solo. The “Chicks from Rappahannock” chose to compete as a relay team because they found out about the race late. Mowatt-Larssen first heard about the race from a - newspaper ad with only ten days remaining before the event. She is a practiced swimmer, but with relatively little prep time needed teammates who could compete in cycling and running. She phoned her friends Barnes and Alexander, and they spent the next ten days training. Even so, the “Chicks” felt that they were pressed for time to get See TRIATHLON, PageA2 .s ! •*vf ___ ‘ Photo courtesy o< Mindy Alexander.

Local attorney found guilty of obscene phone call By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Local attorney David L. Konick was found guilty of making an obscene suggestion with intent to harass over the phone te Combined District Court Clerk Patricia M. Davis and sentenced to 200 hours of community service in addition to a $1000 fine. The decision was handed down Tuesday morning at the Rappahannock County District Court. The case centered around unverifiable conflicting testimony from the victim (Davis) and the defendant (Konick). Recused Because both Konick and Davis are regularly involved with legal matters in Rappahannock County, Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke and Judge Burke McCahill had recused themselves on the grounds of knowing both victim and defendant professionally. Instead Substitute Judge Annie Lee Jacobs presided over the case while Page County Commonwealth’s Attorney John T. Hennessy represented the State. Konick was represented by attorney J. Casey Struckmann of Front Royal,VA At trial, both Konick and Davis, who have had a professional association of almost thirty years, testified that Konick had called her at the Meetings & Notices • The previously scheduled joint meeting of the Town of Washington Planning Commission and the Washington Town Council for Monday, August 22, has been postponed. They will now meet on Monday, September 26, at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall on Gay Street to review the final draft of the Comprehensive Plan. The public is encouraged to attend. • On Wednesday, August 24 there will be no public meeting for the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). • The opening of Rappahannock County Public Schools has been delayed.

According to Davis, Konick then made an explicit and obscene suggestion to her over the phone. Davis testified that she then asked if he had any court business, and Konick repeated his obscene statement. Davis then hung up the phone. A different take Konick remembered the conversation differently, and testified that while he had intentionally used sexual innuendo in his phone conversation, it had not involved vulgar language and had been intended in a joking rather than offensive manner. Konick and his attorney characterized the incident as a miscommunication throughout the trial. “I called to lighten up Pat's day with a little humor,” said Konick on the stand. Both Konick and Davis admitted that they had exchanged teasing See KONICK, Page A2 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Monty Tayloe Grid Iron Guys There's 30 of them and they've come to play football.

See schedule, Page A7. v'<& School opeiitflg delayed By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County Public Schools will open a week and a day late this year. After consulting with the construction company finishing up roof work at the elementary school, School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell and the facilities committee of the School Board made the call Monday to delay opening. Concern for the safety of students and staff around the last stages of construction apparently was the deciding factor. Chappell explained. "We knew that in order to start school on the 29th we had to get office staff in the building to set up the office before August. 22, the absolute latest date teachers and other staff needed to start preparations in the building for an Aug. 29 start. We could not get firm assurances that electrical and fire alarm functions in the building would be ready before the 22nd, so we decided to make the change to a Sept. 6 opening of school. Although the safety issue only affects the elementary school, • both public schools will have delayed openings. The School Board and Chappell feel that opening just the high school would create a hardship for many parents who rely upon older children to help take Care of younger siblings during the summer. It is also more cost efficient to open both schools simultaneously, for the sake of busing and other tasks spread across both schools. Additional information including other key dates is included in Chappell's Comer on page A6.

The driver went off the road into the left median, over corrected, began fish tailing, hit the embankment and the vehicle flipped over on the right shoulder coming to rest upside down. Crump and her grandchildren were transported to Fauquier Hospital for precautionary reasons. There were no serious injuries reported. “She was from Falls Church," reported State Trooper Derek Mabie. “Everyone had their seat belts on and they were on their way to Luray.” Crump was charged with reckless driving. -^ — — ■ —— -— - -i - Gadino debuted new wine Rappahannock’s wine producers and bottlers, Gadino.

ing an untapped resource , By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer An applicant's request for a new town water connection, could lead to higher tap feesVa Tie Washington Toj “ Council started discussior/ #f higher water tap fees posa being incorporated into updated comprehensive n at their August 10 meeting: me issue was raised Town Attorney John Bennett\ in response to the application of William Metcalf, who asked the council to grant a new tap for the house he wants to build on Odin Lane, which is outside town limits. This application prompted Bennett to raise the issue of tap fees. A new tap hookup in Washington currently costs $1,000, but Bennett pointed out to the council that in other .towns new hookup fees are much higher, especially for property outside the borders of the town. The Town of Middleburg, VA charges $8,500 for a new residential tap, and Culpeper currently charges $5,000 for taps in the town borders and $7,500 outside the town. The higher fees in many towns help pay for new or refurbished water systems. “Just about every jurisdiction is looking at ways to raise revenue to offset the costs of water,” said Bennett. Town of Washington council members are currently drafting an updated comprehensive plan, which will lay Corrections In an article entitled “Workers day in the sun” which appeared in the August 11 issue Anna is “Emma” Washington. “Sidra Hitching” is sitting next to Carolina Leonard in the carriage ride and human resource manager Kyle “Balsis” attended with his wife Bethany and son Mason.

Metcalfs proposed residence is a unique situation, because the property is surrounded on four sides by homes that already receive town water. This means that a potential tap hookup for Metcalf would be comparatively easy and cheaper for the town then a more isolated property. “My heart's bleeding for you, because everyone around you has town water,” Town Council mextaber Jeff Benson told Metcalf. Bennett expressed concern that granting a town water hookup outside the town borders, even in a situation as unique as Metcalf s, could create an opening for future applicants to challenge Washington's tap use policy. “We need specific guide lines that will determine whether or not people get new connections,” said Bennett. The council asked Metcalf to wait until a comprehensive plan had passed and more specific guidelines concerning new water connections had been created. Subdivision The proposed access road to the future site of the Pleasant View LLC subdivision in Washington could be constructed as a private driveway, removing it from the jurisdiction of the Town Council. The building of an access road to the future subdivision has been on the Town Council agenda for months, as the council and the property owner Jimmy DeBergh with his attorney Mike Brown tried to create a compromise that would work for the town and Pleasant View's future neighbor Diane Bruce. One of the key concerns of the Town Council and Town Planning Commission as they discussed the subdivision has been “keeping it with the grid” or maintaining the original look of Washington as it was originally surveyed by George Washington. The council had asked Pleasant View and VDOT to put stakes in the ground marking the proposed access road as it connects to the “stub” of Wheeler street, near the intersection of Wheeler and Gay streets. However, members of the council who saw the staked out, proposed road were very dissatisfied with how the road would look. “Any rational person would go and look at those stakes and say this is a mistake!” exclaimed council member Claudia Mitchell. This led to the proposal by Town Attorney John Bennett that Pleasant View LLC build and maintain the access road as a private driveway, stipulating that it have enough room to allow emergency vehicles to turn around. A private driveway would alleviate town concerns about Washington's grid, because private drives do not appear on town maps and do not have to be the same width as Washington's roads. “That might be the way to split the baby,” commented Brown. Private driveways are not regulated by town government, and the only way they are regulated is by their access points to VDOT controlled roads. “The big question now is what VDOT will approve,” said Brown. The previously scheduled joint meeting of the Town Planning Commission and the Town Council for Monday, August 22 has been rescheduled to Monday, September 26.

I was disappointed, angry, upset,” testified Davis. Credibility counts The charge brought against Konick required proof that an obscene suggestion was made as well as proof that it was made “with intent to coerce, intimidate or harass.” At the close of the trial, Judge Annie Lee Jacobs based her decision first on the credibility of Davis and Konick. Stuckmann called five separate witnesses for the defense to testify to Konick's reputation for truth. However, Judge Jacobs decided that Davis' version of events was more Credible. The judge based her decision largely on records from the 1983 Rappahannock County trial of Diane Kidwell. During that trial Konick publicly admitted to unintentionally wiping fingerprints from evidence associated with a murder case. Using Davis’s testimony as her guide, Judge Jacobs found that by repeating the obscene suggestion after Davis' had asked if he had any court business, Konick had crossed a line. Judge Jacobs stated that she might have believed Konick was joking “if conversation had stopped there. The only conclusion this court can draw is that he wanted to harass,” pronounced Jacobs. “I categorically maintain my innocence and an appeal is likely, but no final decision has been made at this point in time,” Konick told the Rappahannock News after the trial.

Diving in The Culpeper Sprint Triathlon started at 7:00 a.m. with the swim in Culpeper's Mountain Run Lake. The swimmers were released in waves of people, guided along the curving 750 meter course by floating buoys. The crowded nature of the start made for a frantic scene.. “It was dawn and misty, and you couldn't see the buoys. At the beginning, it was a scrum, like a mosh pit in the water, everybody's kicking you,” remembered Mowatt-Larssen, the group's swimmer. With her abbreviated training period, Mowatt-Larssen was concerned initially about how she would stack up against other swimmers but as the race went on she became more confident. Just when 1 thought it was bad, I saw somebody clinging to a buoy, and I knew I wasn’t doing so bad.” Cycling chick Following the swim was the 17- mile bike ride. Competitors not part of a relay team simply went from the water to their bikes, but the “Chicks from Rappahannock” had to exchange a “timing chip” first. This is a computer chip attached to an ankle bracelet that times and keeps track of racers oh the course, which MowattLarssen had to hand off to Mindy Alexander before she could begin the second leg of the triathlon. Alexander, a graduate of the College of William and Mary, is a 40year -old mother and avid bike rider who frequently tandem bikes around Rappahannock County with her nine-year-old daughter Grace. It keeps me m shape,it s a great family hobby,” said Alexander. By the time competitors began on the bike portion of the triathlon the participants were spread out further, and Alexander found the other racers around her inspiring. “There's a great energy with so many people together. . . the person in front of you drives you up,” explained Alexander. Last leg Following the cyclist leg was the 5k run, in which Susana Barnes represented the “Chicks from Rappahannock.” Barnes, 32, -./as in competitive cross-country in high school and is still a regular runner. Barnes also competes in the annual Fodderstack 10K every year. “If I stop running now, IH never be able to start again,” emphasized Barnes. Many of the runners in the triathlon were dismayed to discover that the running course was primarily crosscountry and that a long stretch of it consisted of tall grass. Barnes, however, had no problem with the rougher track. Rappahannock people are used to trail running,” explained Mowatt-Larssen. The run was the final leg of the triathlon, and non-relay competitors who had singlehandedly gone through the entire course were starting to tire by then. Nevertheless, Barnes found her fellow runners supportive and encouraging. Because the racers started in waves and were being judged by their individual completion times, it was impossible for competitors to tell who was winning or losing by their position on the course. “I felt pretty good. I was passing people the whole way,” said Barnes. Once the race was over, the “Chicks from Rappahannock” were pessimistic about their chances. They were amazed to learn that they had come in at third place out of a field of 11 relay teams. “When we were waiting around to hear the results, I thought this was sort of silly. So it was a great surprise! I was shocked,” exclaimed Alexander. The “Chicks from Rappahannock” won visors for placing in the race, but they have also all suddenly become very interested in further competition. “Ive been thinking we could do one here [in Rappahannock County]. I thought the high school could at least do a biathlon,” said Barnes. “We were the only all girl team that placed. Now our husbands want to do it.” Monty Tayloe may be reached at mtayloe@timespapers.com Stream monitoring volunteers are being sought The Upper Rappahannock Watershed Stream Monitoring Program in conjunction with Virginia Save Our Streams and Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Rivers (RappFlow) will conduct a one-day stream monitoring training workshop for new and experienced stream monitors on Thursday, August 25, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. No previous experience is required only a desire to learn and understand how land use activity effects local water bodies and learn one technique for monitor FREE INSPECTION nuieui your nume, Protect your home, family and pets against termites, fleas, ticks and other pests. 540-8294000 www.PermaTreat.com rermanenuy.

John Jackson marker to be dedicated at Millwood In last week’s paper there was an announcement for the unveiling and dedication of a state historical marker in honor of John Jackson. We were informed when, Saturday, August 20th at 3:00 p.m., but no location was given. First let’s clear up that mystery. The location of this event will be at Millwood, the birth place of John and current residence of the Robert Darbys on Rt. 522 at the eastern edge of Woodville. Following the dedication there will be an open barbecue. This event is open to the public and free to all. We know John Jackson the musician whose music is described as a combination of country and blues with older African-American and older European-American styles. John Jackson the recording artist who traveled the world sharing his music with appreciative audiences and the 1986 recipient of a National Heri Histories & Mysteries Fran Eldred tage Fellowship. He has entertained world leaders including two presidents and performed at both Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center. He was highly respected by fellow musicians and was even “pestered” by Eric Clapton requesting guitar lessons. Who was this humble but yet dignified man, once described as a “paradox of decency”? This man who maintained these qualities even after he was recognized in a business that can only be described as cruel at times? His roots are right here in Rappahannock County. Our earliest record at the Historical Society shows a James Jackson born about 1867 in Madison County. He married Molly (Mollie) Grigsby, bom about 1870, in Woodville. They were married on December 15, 1891. Two of their children were Minnie and Sutty. Suttie (Sutty) (Sudy) Jackson, Sr. was bom around 1888 in the Hawlin Districrt of Rappahannock County. He married Hattie R. Hanie (Hany) who was bom around 1893 in Peola Mills. They were married March 27, 1910 in Rappahannock at the bride’s home. John Jackson was bom on the farm at Millwood in Woodville on February 25, 1924. He was the seventh of 14 children bom to Suttie arid Hattie.. He married Cora Lee Carter. The only factual information we have on Cora is she died in 1990, John was not an educated man in the sense we think of education. However, he had a warm and loving family and parents who were musically inclined. His father played the guitar, upside down no less, and his mother sang. His father made instruments for his children. John’s first “store bought!’ guitar was purchased for $3.95 by an older sister. He exhibited an ear for music at an early age, his voice developing into a rich baritone. John went to work on the roads early on where he met a member of a chain gang known only to us as Happy. John credits him with showing him many techniques on the guitar. When Happy was released he even came home with John for a while after which he sim ply disappeared. In 1949 John moved to the then rural Fairfax where he secured employment on a dairy farm. It was here that he picked up his next profession, grave digging. With some encouragement he started, playing in some Honky Tanks < in the area. This is when he put his guitar down as there was a lot of drinking and fights in these places and he felt that he contributed to this situation. This truly exhibits the decency of this man that he would give up something he loved so as not to have any part of harming his fellow man. During this time John picked up another avocation that he dearly loved, metal detecting. He was known statewide by those involved in the search for Civil War artifacts. He was constantly combing the fields of Fairfax and Prince William County discov ering things that others had missed. It is felt that his ear for music helped him decipher the tones in his ear piece that others could not detect. In 1964 a chance meeting with Charles Perdue now professor of folk lore at UVA led him back to the music world. The rest we know. Come help us honor this gentle man who made it to the heights of the musical world but who never forgot the work ethics and Christian up bringing learned in his childhood in Rappahannck County. This information is based on what we currently have at the Rappahannock Historical Society. We would love to see other members of this family who can help us fill in the blanks. Come to the dedication and share your personal stories with me there.

P. Hill located in the rolling hills of Caroline County, Va., near the towns of Fredericksburg and Bowling Green from July 25 to August 3. Among these thousands, three scouts from Troop 36 in Washington, Va., attended the event: Gavin Forrest and Austin and his twin brother, Tyler Burdick. - Qualifications to participate in Jamboree These three scouts that participated in the 2005 Jamboree were selected by more than 300 councils in the United States and had to be first approved by their Scoutmaster or Varsity Scout Coach, and then by the local council jamboree committee. Each scout must have completed the sixth grade or be at least 12 years of age and a first class scout by July 1, 2005. His 18th birthday must not be before August 2. Participation in the jamboree required a pre-jamboree training experience, and each scout had to file a personal health and medical record form before that training event. In addition, the scount had to be active in his troop for at least six months prior to July 1, 2005. Twins brothers had unforgettable experiences Tyler Burdick, Star Scout with Troop 36 in Washington comented that the greatest aspect of the Jamboree was that there were so many great new activities to try and things to do. “Trading patches with other troops across the nation was popular at the jamboree. One of the most sought after souvenirs by Scouts are the five activity patch segments or “rockers”. Unlike other souvenirs, however, these cannot Rappahannock County and the lames River Rlues Society invites you, the public, to attend the Unveiling and dedication of a State Historical Marker in honor of , John Jackson Virginia Musician National Heritage Fellow and Piedmont Guitar Master Saturday, August 30 3:00 p.m. Route 522 (Sperryville Pike), south end of Woodville 5 miles south of Sperryville This event is free and open to the public.

A talented artist, Tyler's brother Austin Burdick was surprised that he won first place in the Jamboree art contest. During the Jamboree, Scouts practiced and demonstrated skills in archery, orienteering, obstacle course maneuvering, trap shooting, boating, canoing, rappelling, and a host of other activities. For five days of the 10-day event, the public was invited to share the jamboree experience and visit the Merit Badge Midway and the arena shows. Explorers such as adventurer and balloonist Steve Fossett, America's cupwinner William Koch, and the first American to summit Mount Everest, Jim Whittaker, were just a few of the world renowned explorers to visit the Jamboree. Sad time for the scouts Tragedy struck at this year's Jamboree when four adult Boy Scout leaders from Alaska were killed in an electrical accident during the opening day of the organization's 2005 Jamboree. The accident happened between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. while the leaders were setting up camp. One other leader from Alaska and a contract worker were hospitalized in stable condition following the electrical accident. All the youths with the Alaska group were fine. Those killed were longtime leaders with Anchorage's Troop 711, which along with another troop had brought 80 Scouts between the ages 13-15 to the event. “I was very sad about the PICK UP YOUR CIRCULAR Packed With Great Savings in Every Department! cmcutAM canu w rvcav noat MODELL’S aj Cotta Co Tb Mo's b| SQUIRT • l900 CuChc inches • S-Cutved S^ooKl8' Strops • 1 Morn Comportmw,. 1/2 J Comportment *v»fTi Ufifity Pockets & 1 SJosfi Pock1* • V-loft Pocket witfi Heodpfcone Port W i'Stf FOR A LOCATION NEAR YOU CALL: 1-800-ASK-M0DFLLS jiiSM istw** jus i.-ifjl ' DMOI Photo by Roger Pierson BANNER BOYS: Austin and Tyler Burdick assist in erecting Troop 1617's Gateway on the opening day of the Boy Scout's National Jamboree. tragedies. President Bush honored them by having all the scouts pray for the losses at the arena show,” said Austin Burdick. About 300 people, most of them Boy Scouts, were sickened by the heat when temperatures rose into the upper 90s. Soldiers carried Boy Scouts on stretchers to the base hospital, about three miles from the event arena, others were air lifted from the event. So cool to see President Bush Scouts had to go through a security screening to get a place in an open field facing the stage where the president planned to speak. Gavin Forrest from Rappahannock said, "that his group was in the 8th row from 4'.e president and that it was so cool to see President Bush in person.” Scoutmaster Troop 36 of Washington, Roger B. Pierson served on the Commissary Staff for Subcamp 16, one of the twenty subcamps comprising the Jamboree reservation at Fort A. P. Hill. Their job was to distribute the ingredients for the 9,000 plus meals a day consumed by the scouts and staff living at their subcamp. 1 “It was an amazing sight, to watch an open field become home for 1,944 scouts and 216 scoutmasters in the span of a few hours time,” said Pierson. “This involved the transportation of camping gear by tractor-trailer, and then by scout power to the subcamp and across much of the field. Tents were pitched, cooking gear setup, and gateways erected, all with a sense of purpose, and always in good cheer.

You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. . There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win. Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You’ve got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second. Kunmng a lootball team is no dmerent than running any other kind of organization — an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is. It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That’s why they are there — to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win. And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat. I don't say these things because I believe in the “brute” nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. Vince Lombardi They're young. They’re strong. They've got a lot of heart and they've got a good man as their head coach, Kemp Pullin. Go Panthers!

Letters Praise for new owners of Jackson House I have known Charity Sillero for the better part of a year. During that time he has established himself as a true friend and neighbor. He spoke about being reliable and his actions have proven this during the past year, Charity is absolutely reliable. During a visit to the Jackson House, he displayed a simple act of kindness and compassion by making the extra effort to go and say goodbye to Gladys Flippo a resident at the time. You can also hear this characteristic expressed in his gentle and expressive piano playing. Charity is a genuine caring person and as a medical caregiver I am sure that this is a defining aspect of his bedside manner. I believe another key characteristic of Charity’s success is how resilient and persistent he can be when the situation calls for it. During the purchase of the Jackson House, there were times when things progressed solely on Charity’s persistence, largely because he had his sights on the overall goal. He was resilient to every challenge. One final thought about Charity is that he is an eager and quick learner. Once, is all Charity needs to see or hear something to make it his own. This is a great skill to have as a business owner, ensuring that every experience will be leveraged to improve the situation. I look forward to seeing Charity and Violeta succeed with their operation of the Jackson House. David F. Gillis Boston Amissville resident offers solutions I cannot understand why the Board of Zoning Appeals turned down the request of the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company (AVFRC) for a zoning variance which consists of rezoning a one and a half acre parcel of land donated to the AVFRC. The AVFRC wanted the variance so they could sell the parcel for more money as a possible residential property. The property does not bring any revenue to the county in the form of real property tax now. For 52 years the AVFRC has been dedicated to serving the citizens of Rappahannock County and also other jurisdictions when called upon. Regardless of time of day or night and under adverse weather conditions, AVFRC will respond. They have also provided the Jackson District a place to vote and in addition a place to hold community activities of any description. They volunteer their services without any pay and sometimes without stated gratitude and appreciation. This is also true of all other fire and rescue companies in the county. All the Rappahannock County fire and rescue companies have to spend a lot of time and energy just to reuse funds for their expensive equipment, buildings, and overhead which is needed to serve all of us. A donated one and a half acre parcel of land capable of supporting a residence which contains the reasonable requirement for setback, well, and septic tank is worth the $75,000. According to the Rappahannock News dated July 8, 2005, Clyde Humphrey who owns land neighboring the parcel in question stated, “the only use this applicant has for the property is to sell it for cash to finance fire and rescue operations. Denying the requested variance does not restrict that use.” If county residents Clyde Humphrey and Gwen Hays do not want a house built across the road from them why don't they purchase the acre and a half at the $75,000 value. This would be a nice donation to the AVFRC. Since the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is responsible for cutting this acre and a half off of the original tract of land when they changed the roadbed of Route 729, maybe they could be persuaded to buy it and put a substation there. They do not have one on Route 729. They could build a highway shop, salt storage building. They could put a fence around the perimeter and store their snow plows and salt spreaders within. They could put up a couple of security lights to protect their investment from thieves. With the high cost of gas and it is increasing in price each day, this would be an ideal alternative since the BZA does not wish to grant a variance for a house. Vivian N. Yancey Amissville Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Augustl2,1965 Rapp-Chats by W.H. Lyne Of the twenty-eight commodities listed by the Virginia Crop Reporting Service under prices received,' but seven show to be selling at a figure equal or higher than the three year (1947-1949) price averages. Of these seven, only two could be thought of as being commercially produced in Rappahannock County: Wool and lambs. Our sheep population is at an all time low. Are you farmers turning your backs on a type of livestock consistently a sure fire moneymaker for the reasonably good manager? Swine is another one-out-ofseven item. Here again have you slipped? True there's hardly enough feed com produced to fatten a couple car loads, but man-o-man, what about feeder pigs? On Sunday, August 15, the Rappahannock Mills Committee of the Historical Society will hold its first meeting on the Court House grounds at 2 o'clock. At 3 p.m. the group will safari to at least two of the extant mills in the county. Arrangements will be made ahead of time to see that we can get in and around the old mills. A project study sheet will be ready for each participant to use in collecting data. This will be the beginning of the historical program of locating, identifying and photographing the thirty to forty mill sites known to have been in use in this county a hundred years ago. The society intends to collect all known data regarding these mills, and prepare a report for publication so that this area of our history may be preserved. Any persons in the knowledge of any activity relating to the mills of Rappahannock might do a real service by communicating... Construction and repair of county buildings, pupil placement, fire gchool and road safety measures were among subjects discussed and acted on at the August Meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors.. W.C. Campbell of Washington recommended to the Board that sufficient money from the f unds for upkeep and building be appropriated to repair the old frame building at the jail, which was formerly used as a kitchen. He volunteered to assist in supervising this work with Board Chairman J. Newbill Miller. This was approved by the Board. 25 YEARS AGO August 14,1980 The first Rappahannock open Cross Country Run was held on Friday, August 8th at Blue Rock Farm. More than twenty competitors braved ninety degree weather while covering the 2.7mile course. Vincent Day completed the course first with a time of 17:52 and Irene Spieker was the first female to cross the finish lipe in 19:20. Mike McKierman, who led during most of the race, finished second in 17:55 while Frank Reynolds was third with 17:59. Marc Wiley, the youngest competitor, finished seventeenth with a time of 29:54. The oldest runners were Mitchell and Sue Kapp who finished 12th and 16 respectively. 10 YEARS AGO August 9, 1995 Once again, The Inn at Little Washington has garnered one of the most coveted awards in the restaurant industry. The Wine Spectator chose The Inn as one of four Grand Award winners for 1995. "Everyone at the Inn is honored and delighted to have the Wine Spectator's highest international award. It is a special tribute to our talented sommelier Hugues Beaulieu and the efforts of our manager Tam Petot, "said chef and coowner Patrick O'Connell. The Wine Spectator, the most widely distributed magazine about wine, has a three-tiered award system for restaurant wine lists. Over the 14 years awards have been given, only 96 restaurants in the world have won the Grand Award. With the liner in place for the sewage lagoon at the elementary school, school can open on schedule, Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board Tuesday night. Dr. Gangel said he now anticipates the upgrade of the lagoon including installing a system to treat waste with duckweed will cost about $162,000.

Longlea (1966-2001): The American Security Council Foundation Years This is the second in a series of three articles focusing on the history of the Longlea Estate. By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News When notices appeared in newspapers in early April 1965 of half-acre lots being for sale at Longlea, the response was gratifying to the developer who had an option to buy the property. A Washington Post ad, showing Alice Glass's home, spoke of the "English Manor House of enormous proportions and aristocratic luxury and its 400-acre estate." A sidebar, in decidedly non-aristocratic wording, called on city dwellers to, "Chuck it...for a day, for a week, or forever," and enjoy country li\ing. Mid-April saw over 1,113 inquires being received, and 116 families had placed deposits on lots. By May 1, 1965, 300 sales contracts had been signed, and construction was to begin in July. At a lavish garden party for prospective buyers at Longlea on June 6, 1965, the sales manager noted that, "to date, 471 of the projected 700 half-acre lots had been sold...sales had gone far beyond expectations." The sales goal for the year had been satisfied in three months. But an early July closing date soon passed, and the developer next extended the option to purchase Longlea beyond the option s July 31 expiration date. On August 11, 1965, the Culpeper StarExponent noted the developer suddenly had withdrawn from the proposed development project and that all deposits onlots were to be returned. Alice Glass Kirkpatrick would not comment on the change, and other principals could not be reached. The American Security Council to the rescue While Longlea lapsed into limbo in August 1965, a Chicago-based organization, the American Security Council (ASC), was mulling over a move to be closer to Washington, D.C. The forerunner of the ASC, the MidAmerican Research Library, Inc., was founded in 1955, by General Robert Wood (retired), chairman and president of Sears & Roebuck. Now we come to John M. Fisher, an important individual. Bom in Fairhaven, Ohio, in 1922, as an officer in WWII, he flew 28 B-24 combat missions in the European Theater, then obtained a college degree and spent six years as a FBI special agent. In 1953, he was the National Director of Security for Sears & Roebuck, and then became part-time director of the above-noted Mid-American Research Library. Primarily, Mid-American did security checks for companies on prospective employees. It changed its name to the American Security Council in 1956. Simultaneously, Fisher was president of the Institute for American Strategy, incorporated in 1949, and also based in Chicago. The Institute held conferences on national security issues. In 1965, as president of that Institute he had a friend in the Washington, D.C., area search for property outside of the capital for use as a Freedom Studies Center. A realtor in Rappahannock County knew Longlea was back on the mar ket and contact was made. Fisher came in from Chicago in October 1965, saw Longlea, thought it ideal, placed a deposit, and returned to Chicago to persuade the Institute for American Studies to buy the property. On November 9,1965, Fisher announced the Institute had contracted to buy Longlea from Col. and Mrs. Richard J. Kirkpatrick, and the sale was completed in March 1966. Longlea underwent renovations, and in September, a dedication ceremony was held to mark the opening of the Freedom Studies Center. Longlea and the Cold War In 1973, on the death of Lyndon Johnson, the Center was renamed The Lyndon B. Johnson Congressional Conference Center. And, in 1975, the Institute for American Strategy became the American Security Council Foundation (ASCF). Its mission was to sponsor research, holds conferences and seminars, and prepare media related to advocacy programs on U.S. foreign policy, national security, and economic issues. The ASC was to lobby on these issues and disseminate information in a non-partisan manner. The Communications Corporation of American (CCA), founded in 1971, handled ASC/ASCF's massive direct mailing operation. For almost 50 years, Fisher was at the helm of the ASC and ASCF. His son, Steve Fisher, ran the CCA. Others soon dubbed Longlea the Cold War College. As a non-profit with a hawkish bent and non-partisan approach, its long-term strategy, unrelenting and uncompromising, was to bring down Communism wherever found, by fostering democratic principles backed by a strong economic, military preparedness, and defense program. This was a first class operation under Fisher. It was so slick it was even tfie envy of some on the Left. This is not the place to discuss the ASC/ASCF. Information and opinion on both, pro and con, with some of it strident and acrimonious, reside on Internet. Suffice it to say that the organization was a significant force, particularly in the 1960-1980s period, in shaping the national security policy of the United States. Its strategy of "Peace Through Strength" was supported by members of the military-industrial community and defense-minded members of Congress from both sides of the aisle. It attracted like-minded scholars, students, policy makers, and citizens. It helped bring about the end of the Cold War. Changes at Longlea After the sale of Longlea in 1966, things began to change. A new road off Route 522 was built and named Freedom Way, marked now by its large red brick entryway. A joke aboqt the place was that in driving out from Culpeper and turning into Longlea, it would be the last left turn one would make. Freedom Way led to Security Circle and Alice Glass's old home, renamed as The Henry and Clare Boothe Luce Manor House. Names of buildings and rooms were honorary.

New buildings went up. In the early 1970s, the Sol M. Feinstein Research Library, plus a residents dormitory with meeting facilities, Ogle Hall, were built. The Center was often used for classified briefings for high-ranking officers and government officials, with nine or ten helicopters from the Pentagon sometimes parked at Longlea. One cannot begin to list the notables who visited Longlea, nor the extent ofASC/ASCF activities. Older members of the ASC/ASCF had first-hand experience with totalitarianism from the 1920s onward.

Even the former owners of Longlea, Charles Marsh and Alice Glass [cited by the ACS as benefactors], were aware of totalitarianism. On a trip to Europe in 1937 to the Salzburg Festival, they took a side trip to hear Hitler speak and witness a Nazi rally. They brought word back of Hitler's theories, which were discussed on the terrace at Longlea. Marsh brought Hitler’s menace to the attention of his frequent guest, Lyndon Johnson. After WWII, Communism became the major threat to the United States, and the ASC/ASCF joined the battle from Longlea. Another close call at Longlea Alter the collapse of Communism and the end of the Cold War, ASC/ASCF funding fell off, See LONGLEA, Page A6 NOW THRU SUNDAY! 13.99!

Chappell’s Corner Opening of School The Facilities Committee of the School Board and I met with the OWPR Architects and Lantz Construction at RCES late this afternoon (Monday, August 15). There are a number of reasons that it is not yet safe for staff, students and community members to be in RCES, so we will not start school on August 29 as planned. We have decided to start school with students in attendance on Tuesday, September 6. New teachers will report back to work on Tuesday, August 23. Returning employees will report to work on Friday, August 26, starting at 8:30 a.m. for breakfast and at 9:00 a.m. for an AllEmployee meeting at RCHS. Other important dates Wednesday, August 31 6:30 p.m. - Kindergarten Orientation at RCES 7:00 p.m. - 8th Grade Orientation at RCHS Thursday, September 1 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. And 6:00 p.m. -8:00 p.m. - Meet the Teacher Night Make-Up Days To make up the fivd days missed, we will use the following days: Two “Built-in” days (we have 182 days in the school calendar instead of the required 180). October 20 - Dismiss at 1:00 p.m. followed by parent-teacher conferences from 2-5 and 6-8 October 21: Originally scheduled as a student holiday/staff development day November 23: Day before Thanksgiving had been scheduled as a holiday. Additional RCPS Initiative to Save Money Another way to save taxpayer dollars. We signed on during the 2004-05 school year with the State’s eVA — electronic procurementprogram - to purchase big-ticket items like copiers from the State contract. We also purchase school buses from the State contract. Dean’s List Local resident named to William and Mary Dean’s List (Willliamsburg, VA)~ Jeffrey Alexander Simeon from Viewtown, VA was recently named to the Dean’s List at the College of William and Mary for the spring 2005 semester. In order to achieve Dean’s List status, a full-time degree seeking undergraduate student in thp School of Arts and Sciences must take at least 12 credit hours and earn a 3.6 Quality Point Average during the semester. The College of William and Mary is the second oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Longlea From Page A5 and staffing was cut. One idea to raise money was to transform Longlea into a retirement community for ASCF employees and members. On June 7, 1994, the Culpeper Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning request by ASCF, CCA, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kelly for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). This was the first use in Culpeper County of the PUD concept and the idea of a Village Center. The plan involved 876 acres: 670 acres for 1,000 dwelling units, 30 acres light industrial use for a Technology Center, 78 acres for commercial use for a 140,000 square feet Village Center and a 160,000 square foot Conference Center, and 98 acres for recreational use. The residential areas were named, , symbolically, Northwoods, Village Center, Golf Course, Estate, and Kelly (the latter reflecting the name of a current 17-acre homeowner). Developers showed little interest. Longlea was ahead of the curve. In addition, according to a Soil Survey of Culpeper County, the soil, deeply eroded in places, was underlain with granite, and 150-acres were in a flood plain. Also, a curve ball came in from left field with a move to designate the Hazel River, running through the property, as a Tier III River, e.g., exceptionally clean, scenic, and thus requiring no change or increase in sewage effluents into it. On February 12, 2001, an anonymous donor purchased Longlea for Opus Dei, part of the Catholic Church, for $7.4 million, with the intent of Opus Dei using the property as a center for spiritual conferences and retreats. In the spring of 2001, ASC/ASCF operations relocated to the Lyndon B. Johnson Strategy Center at 201 North Main Street, Culpeper, a site used by them since 1965. The ASC now resides at 101 Constitution Avenue, and the ASCF at 1237-1239-1241 Pennsylvania Ave, S.E., in Washington, D.C. Opus Dei undertook some renovation work at Longlea in 2001, and opened for use by year's end. It will be the subject of the third article in this series on Longlea.

This can be an exhausting, exciting, and scary time for students and parents. Here are a few strategies for how to get through it. Students • Take a bit of home with you - photos, linens, a rug, a piece of your life. If you feel homesick, try to stick it out for a month without returning home. Some people that leave every weekend have trouble feeling truly connected. • Talk to your roommate before you get to school; find out who is bringing what. In general, communicate early and often with your roommate - tell them you don’t like to sleep with the radio on, you don’t want their friends hanging out on your bed or their half-eaten pizza hanging out in the closet - address these issues immediately - and don’t be guilty of them yourself. • Find all your classrooms before the first meeting. • Know about the campus resources: health center, student center, libraries, gym, financial aid office, academic offices, multicultural centers, etc. • Buy your books and supplies. Get organized. Save money by buying used books (amazon.com, Ebay.com, used bookstores, corkboard notices from other students.) • Research local banks - open a checking account. Read the fine print on credit card offers (you will be inundated with them!) - make sure the one you choose has no annual fee and a spending limit within your reach. • Join a club or activity. You can always drop it if you don’t like it, but getting involved is a great way to meet friends and to feel connected to a large school. • That said, don’t overload your schedule. Do your work, keep your grades up, meet your professors, get help if you need it. There will be no one to remind you about due dates. Get a good personal calendar and use it. • Eat well, sleep well, exercise, find private time and quiet. This can be a stressful time , and you’ll need your health and peace of mind to make the most of it. • Lastly, this is a transition. If you get lost or show up at the wrong class, if you miss a class entirely or forget to do something - don’t stress out. You and a million other freshmen around the country are all wandering around making embarrassing mistakes. Laugh it off and know that in a few weeks it’ll all be so routine that you won’t even remember this early, hectic, awkward time. Parents Many parents feel uneasy when their child leaves home for college. They don’t know what their child’s life will be like, they can’t imagine how their kids are spending their time, and what they do imagine, usually adds to the uneasiness. Some parents have trouble reshaping their daily lives without their child in the center of it. Here are some ideas that I hope will be helpful: • Take your child to school and get them settled, buy them some supplies, take a tour, meet their roommate, participate in any family events. There may be Parents’ Nights, plays and sports activities later in the year; come for planned visits and take your child and their friends out to lunch. • Encourage your child to get involved in activities or clubs. • Discuss finances with your child - help them create a budget that will work for both of you. • Discuss how £he freedoms and opportunities available at college can tempt even the most industrious students away from their class work. Talk openly with your child about your fears and expectations. • As far as your child’s safety, be sure that there is a smoke alarm in your child s dorm room and a lock on the door. If he or sh£ has valuables, you may want to look into getting a renter’s insurance policy. • If issues come up, remember that your child may be seeking independence like a fish seeks water. Try to be curious or concerned, but not intrusive or blaming. • There are books that can help, such as Letting Go: A Parents’ Guide to Understanding the College Years, that can help you to navigate this transition for both of you. • Your child still needs to feel connected to the family. As Mr. Gochenour says, “You will always be theii* Mother/Father and they’re going to always need you to be their Mother/Father. That’s your job. Your role changes, but the job stays the same.” • If you feel that there is something that is not right, there are people and support services at the school that can help. Contact them and get advice. College is a big step for everyone. So much focus is on the student’s needs that parents can neglect to plan for their own transition. To quote a web page from the University of Melbourne, “Now is the time to have confidence in the good work you have done as parents and give them the opportunity to fly (though there will be the inevitable crashes!) It’s a learning experience for all, but vital in enabling you, and them, to move onto the next stage of relating as equal adults.” Good luck, students! Good luck, parents! And congratulations.

Rappahannock’s Panther football season set to go The Rappahannock County High School varsity football team returns this year, competing for the first time with a full Bull Run district schedule. Last season was the Panther’s first varsity football team, and they went 3 and 7 last year playing only exhibition games because they had joined the Virginia High School League (VHSL) during its two-year redistricting cycle. “We came in the middle of that two-year cycle, and it was a rough road to go.” said head coach Kemp Pullin. That rough road had RCHS playing whatever teams they could find, and led to long road trips and lopsided losses, like a 54-0 loss to the Bassett Bengals on the team's second ever varsity game. “I’m glad that's behind me,” said Pullin. For the 2005 season, the Panthers will play closer schools like Clarke County and Madison. In addition, the team has a majority of home games this year, keeping them close to their fan base. There are 30 p’ayers on the Panthers this year,and all but two are returning players, including four sophomores who played freshmen football last year and have made the jump to the varsity team. While it is still early, Pullin has already started to notice some standout players. Bobby Czekajis a new addition to the varsity team, and Coach Pullin hopes he’ll add an element of speed to the team's running game. “We haven't had that speed,” explained Pullin. The coach is also impressed with senior Corey Voorhies, who played left tackle last year but is expected to start at both middle linebacker and fullback in the 2005 Season. “He's the standout on both sides,” Pullin revealed. With the improved schedule, and a team composed almost completely of veterans, Pullin believes the team can make a positive showing in 2005. “As long as we’re in the game, anything can happen. You just want to be in the game in the 4th quarter,” explained Pullin. Panther Schedule Date 8/26 9/23 9/10 9/16 10/1 10/8 10/15 10/21 10/29 11/04 11/11 Opponent Colonial Beach H.S.

They were always greeted by the staff at the commissary, and as the Jamboree passed, more and more of the scouts returned this good cheer, for some, the first' act of actual communication of the day. Each morning the cheer and banter came increasingly from the scouts, and the staff did thei best to keep the scout spirit growing. The closing Arena Show was incredible said Pierson, “President George W. Bush was well received by the 65,000 scouts and visitors. His speech concerned the val ues instilled by the Boy Scout program. In making his point, he recited the Boy Scout Law: A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent. President Bush also made sure to point out the benefits of Scouting in producing our future leaders, and in preparing many for service, some in the U.S. Military.” History Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Photo by Roger Pierson WAITING: Some of the 65,000 scouts and visitors patiently awaiting the arrival of President George W. Bush at the closing arena show. founder for the scouting movement, created the idea of holding a large encampment of scouts and leaders to celebrate scouting in England. He called it a Jamboree. Since 1937, the Boy Scouts of America has held a national Scout jamboree for scouts and leaders of Boy Scout councils throughout the United States. Since that time, 15 national Scout jamborees have been held, three locations in the western United States at Irvine ranch, California, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Farragut State Park in Idaho. Five have been held in Pennsylvania at Valley Forge and Moraine State Park. Beginning in 1981, Caroline County, Va., and Fort A. P. Hill have been the permanent site. National Jamboree is scouting's grandest tradition which allows scouts to participate in a variety of activities that reflect scouting’s commitment to physical fitness and conservation along with the spirit of brotherhood.

The driver went off the road into the left median, over corrected, began fish tailing, hit the embankment and the vehicle flipped ®ver on the right shoulder coming to rest upside doen. Crump and her grandchildren were «transported to Fauquier Hospital for precautionary reasons. There were no serious injuries reported. “She was from Falls< Church,” reported State Troop-" er Derek Mabie. “Everyone had their seat belts on and they were on their way to Luray.” Crump was charged with reckless driving. hiXpiosive situation August 8,11:25 p.m. A resident of Evergreen road notified the Rappahannock County Sheriff s Department that three male subjects in front of her : house were throwing fireworks in the road. When the complainant advised the subjects to leave, they informed her that since it was a state road they could do what they wanted. The subjects fled the scene before deputies arrived. Task Force busy Rappahannock County again received the special attention of the State Police in the form of the “In-House Task Force,” a method of redistributing the patrols and duties of local state police that allows greater vigilance on US-211 and Route 647, which are traditionally accident heavy areas in the summer. Over the weekend state police involved with the effort gave out 29 tickets, 15 to motorcycles and 14 to cars and trucks. Inspiring; Tfwiuifits Randy Minter The Reverend A. P. Bailey tells this story: A little girl was sent on an errand; when she returned late, her mother asked why. She explained that a playmate of hers had broken a doll. She had stopped to help her. “How did you fix the doll?” her mother asked. The little girl said, “I sat down and helped her cry.” How often we are at the same place in helping someone’s agony. We may not be able to correct an accident, but we can apply sincere sympathy. Since 1836, Moser Funeral Home and staff have offered caring and sympathetic services to Fauquier County and surrounding areas. We are conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Our telephone number is 540-347-3431. We manage Bright View Cemetery, also located near Warrenton.

Local youth enjoy 4-H summer camp By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Going off to camp is still an experience hard to beat particularly when it’s held at the beautiful and scenic 4-H Educational and Conference Center in Front Royal. Campers from Rappahannock, Culpeper and Shenandoah Counties ■ recently spent a week there and for many it will always hold a special place in their hearts. About 28 campers from Rappahannock County tried something different this summer that proved not only productive but engrossing and fun. The 4-H camp offered a variety of summer activities and kid friendly classes each day. Campers across the 229-acre grounds, began each morning with the raising of the 4-H flag. The white symbolizes purity and the green, nature’s most common color, is emblematic of life, springtime, and youth. Classes that taught archery and air rifle skills also stressed that shooting an apple off your best friend’s head isn’t a good idea. Safety was emphasized as they learned basic marksmanship skills. Campers also got to learn about Japanese history, language, and family life. Another class was filled with science challenges and surprises as campers tried their hand at making non-Newtonian fluids (fluids that have properties of both liquids and solids, reacting to stress with increased viscosity - runny in the bowl but solid when you hold and squeeze them), launch a lemon juice rocket, make a soap-powered boat, separate the pigments in colored candies, and design a breathpowered car or a cotton ball catapult. It doesn’t get much better than donning a life vest, grabbing a paddle and settling into a canoe on a warm afternoon. See photos, Page A10 Campers learned basic canoeing strokes, safety, and fun as they navigated one of the campground’s lakes. Giddy up and away we go The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers were almost as famous as the horses they rode. The staff equestrian showed the proper way to ride, explained different horse breeds and color patterns, riding styles, tack, showmanship, equine diseases and how to care for your horse. There was also time for campers to discuss their own horse experiences. On the last day everyone participated in an Hippology contest where they demonstrated what they’d learned. Watch that splash A significant time was spent daily at the Junior Olympic -sized swimming pool, which was a favorite of many campers, to cool off for the day. Each day provided a new agenda of things to learn and do. Campers had evening activities, such as International Night. This was truly a night to remember since you had to fill out a paper passport and get your name written in different languages like Russian, Japanese, and Finnish to name a few. You got to say “hello” and “Welcome to America” to exchange students. A talent show was one of the evening activities along with gymnastics, dances, and singing. Exchange Students This summer’s camp had eight exchange students from five different countries Valem Vlas from Moldova in Eastern k Europe said that he really enjoyed the camp. Anastasiya romyuK irom UKraine commented that she “liked it very much Ij. and that the camp was so different from their’s.” re ary time The closing ceremony proved very emotional for some of the campers. “It was hard to say goodbye to mends that may not be seen tor awhile, plus, camp is magical, and having it come to an end was sad, but there is always next year to look forward to,” said Jenny Kapsa, the 4-H coordinator from Rappahannock. If your child hasn’t experienced the fun and memories of attending a 4-H summer camp, make plans to send them next year.

Taste of Rappahannock Mill feature exceptional auction items By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Guests at the seventh annual Taste of Rappahannock benefit dinner, scheduled for Saturday, September 10, will have an opportunity to bid on several exceptional items during a special auction held before the dinner. For those who count themselves among the politcally witty and savvy, there is one item sure to draw many bidders. It's an evening with Mark Russell, America’s foremost political satirist. By popular demand, after his sold-out performance last year at The Theatre in Little Washington, Mark Russell returns to town on February 11, 2006. The winner of this entry in the “Golden Opportunities” auction and three guests will be invited to an entertaining evening of roaring laughter at The Theatre with the master of one liners. In addition, Linda and Bill Dietel will host a small private dinner for Mark Russell and his wife, Alison, including the winners on February 10 at Over Jordan Farm, their home near Flint Hill. A second “Golden Opportunity” item to be auctioned on September 10 is a Peter Garon painting. Garon, a popular artist from Warrenton, now has his studio in Little Washington on Middle Street, between the Middle Street Gallery and the Inn at Little Washington. An architect by training, he has found a new calling in the fine arts, with his paintings in private and corporate collections throughout the country. Garon is a painter of moods and feelings. As he writes in his artist’s statement, “The places and objects I capture are not real, but imagined. Form, color and texture play vital roles in capturing a mood, a time, or a place that is unique to each viewer.” The beautiful commis Peter Garon at home in his studio in Washington. Photo by Richard Lykes sioned work donated to the Taste of Rappahannock for this occasion is a watercolor on gessoed tissue paper. It is described as a work that expresses the feeling of the mountains and the night. The winning bidder also will be invited for a personal tour of Garon’s studio. Proceeds from the event will go to Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, to help support their many worthy programs that promote educational excellence in our county schools. The "Taste" will again be held at the beautifully-restored Belle Meade School House on scenic Route 231 near Sperryville. The cost of the event is $135 per person and patron tables for 10 are available at $1,500. Since the event traditionally is sold out in late summer, people are urged to mark their calendar and make early reservations. Please call the Headwaters office at 540-675-1819 or email Paige Coombs at headwtrs@shentel.net. The Inn to host ‘Savoring the Blue Ridge’ Sept. 13 On Ihesday evening, September 13th, The Inn at Little Washington will open its doors on a normal "day off' to host a very special dinner to benefit the preservation of open space in Rappahannock County. Thanks to owners Patrick O'Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, an extraordinary event—Savoring the Blue Ridge—will feature the best of cuisine from local farms. The party will benefit the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation (KFRCC), and is designed to increase support significantly for this important Fund, which is dedicated to preserving the open space and agricultural lands in Rappahannock. Chef Patrick O’Connell has been working diligently with the Krebser Fund to ensure that a memorable experience will be had by all who attend the event. Regarding local conservation, O’Connell says, Tve had the privilege of visiting some of the most beautiful places in the world, but nowhere seems as perfect as home—Rappahan Photo by Richard Lykes Inn at Little Washington nock County. Our region’s beauty has a healing power which never fails to soothe and comfort. Its wide open spaces offer plenty of room to breathe and dream. It would be a nightmare to see it spoiled.” Although priced at $1,000 per person, tickets are in great demand. Invitees from "Little” Washington and “Big" Washington and points in between have quick to respond, and the event is already more than half-way sold out. Nevertheless tickets are still available for what promises to be a stellar evening of exquisite foods and wines and a delightful mixture of Washington, DC and Rappahannock society. The Krebser Fund will use the funds raisedJby the dinner to preserve at-risk farm land and open space and place them in easement, including the purchase of easements and assistance to landowners with upfront costs associated with seeming a conservation easement. Funds raised at this event will be matched by a generous grant from a local private foundation, which has pledged to support the work of the fund by contributing $1 for every $2 raised. The fund has already completed its first conservation project: assisting a local farm family that wanted to preserve its agricultural legacy in placing an easement on their 100-acre farm, Belle Acres, last January. The Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation was created by a coalition of local organizations to honor Dr. Werner Krebser, who came to Rappahannock in 1961. Dr. Krebser served with distinction on the County Planning Commission for 22 years and was a strong and passionate voice for See INN, Page B4 “See Us For All Your Building Supply Needs’ 1418 Oranae Road Cufcoper (540)82SO937 Find your new home Withthe Rappahannock News 540-675-3349 If you have ever attempted to build or repair someth tig, you know that without the proper tools, your enthusiasm can quickly turn iato frustratioa.

A local life is remembered James Washington Pullen, or J.W., as most of us knew him, or, simply, "J," as his family called him, passed from this life Wednesday, August 10, 2005. He was 73-years-old, bom and raised just outside the village of Flint Hill and, for some years, had been a patient at Oak Springs nursing home in Warrenton, Virginia. J.W. had a special place in my life when I was growing up. His father, Clarence Pullen, was brother to my Grandmother Brady and, therefore, was my great uncle. So, J.W. and I were second cousins. But, that didn't really matter; everybody in Pullentown was related. Like all of us in this life, J.W. had his demons. He dealt with them as best he could. Often, when I think of J.W., I think of the words of the poet who talked about, "living lives of quiet desperation." But, J.W. had a wonderful gift. A gift that took him away from the toils and snares of everyday life. A gift that lifted him to another level, and a gift that he shared freely with those fortunate enough to know him and spend time with him. I was one of those fortunate people. J.W. s girt was music. He could play the banjo, or, as everybody called it, the "banja,” and, more important to me, he could play the guitar. Many people who knew J.W. will remember his love of music, and his ability to play. To that end, music helped define who he was. At the time, no one in my family played any kind of music. I was awed by the fact that J.W.’s brothers, Arthur and Moffett, could also play, and Uncle Clarence, too. I was very much impressed that the family would get together and play music. It seemed amazing to me. I longed to be a part of that Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com whole experience. I bought a guitar for $2.00, from Louie Miller. The ones I had before that were mostly toys. On my frequent trips to Flint Hill to milk Uncle Robert’s cow when he was on graveyard shift at the Viscose plant, I picked up pop bottles on the road, and took them to Bradford’s store. I finally got the $2.50 I needed for a set of real Black Diamond strings from the pawn shop in Front Royal. Dad said that was like putting a $10 saddle on a $5 horse. And, perhaps it was. Mom sewed up a white feed sack that middlings came in, and that was my guitar case. Many evenings after supper was done, I would carry that guitar in its feed sack up on the hill, to the little house where J.W. lived with Uncle Clarence and Aunt Lelia. Mow J. w. was able to stand the noise I made on that guitar, I will never understand. I didn't know how to tune it, much less how to play anything. After getting it somewhat in tune, if J.W. played a tune in G chord, I would just play G all the way through the tune. It must have been torture for him. But, he would just smile and keep on playing. Somehow, J.W. was able to see that the “Pullen” part of this Brady boy loved the music, too. I shall be forever grateful to James Washington Pullen for the legacy of music that he left to me and to all those who loved him. Rest in Peace, my friend. We will pick again.

A day with memories will linger on. The one class I enjoyed was the outside cooking, they made a grape flip drink out of this world. You take one half of grape juice, one fourth of orange juice and one half cup of Sprite, just stir and serve over ice. The best part of this class was that I got to sample the drink, believe me it was cool and refreshing, and a twist on a hot day. The recipe I would like to share with the readers this week came from the 4-H camp outdoor cooking class. No bake-um camp cookies 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup marshmallow fluff 1 cup chocolate chips Mix well and roll into small balls. Chill’em and eat'em!

Educators learn about ‘The Growing Connection’ By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News Robert Anderson, the senior liaison officer for the United Nation’s Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and Katy Moss Warner, president of the American Horticultural Society (AHS), made a joint presentation to educators in the county last Friday. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a successful pilot project sponsored by the two organizations in several foreign countries and in the United States to introduce children and older students to the concept of sustainable agriculture and horticulture. The guest speakers were invited by Katherine Bull, a leading horticulturist and gardener in Rappahannock County and the meeting was organized by Fran Krebser, an education specialist at the county schools and president of the Krebser Foundation. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss “The Growing Connection,” their jointly-sponsored program that links students, families, educators and communities in an intemationallyfocused effort to fight hunger, malnutrition and obesity by helping young people learn to grow nutritious food using water-efficient horticultural techniques and the latest scientific methods. This H effort harnesses the power and connectivity of the Internet to link students and food growers around the world to each other, to sources of information, and to online professional advice on growing food. “The Growing Connection” Introducing the subject, Katy Warner of the AHS pointed out that “The Growing Connection” is a program developed for middle school students and supported by the AHS and the FAO, along with a progressive coalition of private and public sector partners. Currently, students in the U S., Ghana, Nicaragua, and Mexico grow food plants using a uniform sustainable growing system with the help of teachers, extension workers, and community volunteers. Warner’s enthusiasm for the subject was evident as she emphasized the importance of sparking the interest of children in gardening by introducing food back into gardens— not just flowers. She recalled that as a child and even as an adult, “I get such a rush still when I see a field of crops, all lined up in a row.” Patterson presented a slide show with comments on what the FAO and the AHS are doing world wide, and in the United States, to further this pilot project. He emphasized that the two organizations have joined in an effort to find a practical and effective wav to provide food to rural communities and to foster in the process, ways to keep children interested in agriculture as they grow older and decide whether to stay in their rural communities or go to the city. Thirty demonstration projects are now underway, including a veiy successful program in Chicago schools where school' children are actually selling their produce to restaurants. Fran Krebser, who helped organize the discussion, offered a local perspective: “We are trying to incorporate a program within the Rappahannock County school system that will give students a better appreciation for the 'vncultural areas of business. Some students are i,o’ i nterested in further academic pursuits and we vant to expose them to alternative vocational areas that will broaden their scope and still be a rewarding career.” Krebser added, “we also want to show students—especially in the early grades-the relationship of this project to science, math, multi-cultural experiences and hopefully to the importance of preserving open-space in our count17 state, country and ultimately the world.” Participating in the meeting, among others, Photo by Richard Lykes PRESENTERS: Katy Warner, president of the American Horticultural Society, and Robert Patterson, senior liaison officer for the United Nation's Food and Agricultural Organization, share information with Rappahnnock school officials. were Roger Mello (principal of the Rappahannock County High School), David Naser (horticulture class teacher in the high school), David Covington .(principal of the elementar> school), Amy Silver (coordinator of grants and partnerships with the school and Headwaters), and Trista Scheuerlein of the Headwaters/Rappahannock Public School’s “Farm-to Table” program. • M ' to Call to Advertise! 540-347-4222 BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.
