Sherman ‘Oh Say Can You See’ By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer At 9 a.m. on Wednesday, September 14, over 600 Rappahannock County Elementary School students filed into the cafeteria and sang the national anthem. The day before, students vied for places in a contest of singing, instrumentally playing and artistically representing the Star Spangled Banner. All of this was done to commemorate the penning of the poem that became the anthem by Francis Scott Key on September 14,1814. This celebration of our national song was part of a nationwide effort called The National Anthem Project led by the Music Educators National Conference. Hundreds of other schools nationwide were singing the anthem at the very same time. Why? See ANTHEM, Page A3 New town taps take time By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Tbwn Council took steps toward a possible fee hike for new water tap connections at their September meeting. The council resolved unanimously to refer the question of a fee hike to the Town Planning Commission so that new tap fees will better offset the costs of installing new taps and help pay for planned improvements to Washington’s water system. The issue of tap fees arose in response to a request for a new tap by local resident Sid Worley, prompting the council to again point out that Washington’s current tap policies are inadequate. “The town really needs to develop a comprehensive plan for when to give out a tap,” said Town Attorney John Bennett. Although similar discussions have taken place at council meetings as recently as the council’s August 10 meeting, the issue of possible fee hikes was not on this month’s agenda, a fact that caused consternation to some council members. “We should have done this a year ago,” said council member Claudia Mitchell. The fee for a new tap hook-up in Little Washington is currently $1,000, but this is low compared to surrounding towns, as Bennett has pointed out to the council previously. Culpeper charges $5,000 for taps inside the town’s borders, and in excess of $7,000 for taps outside the town. The rationale for these higher costs is that they should cover the town’s cost of installing the new tap as well as represent thet new water user’s share of the cost of maintaining town water. “We need to adjust the tap fee so it’s fair for everyone,” said Bennett. The council voted to refer the question to the Town Planning Commission to calculate a cost representative of the town’s needs with the help of Town Zoning Administrator John McCarthy. - “I do not want to treat Mr. Worley differently than anyone else. We should make a referral to the Planning Commission to find what is the appropriate cost,” said Mitchell. Worley owns two contiguous lots in town and wanted to purchase a town water connection for one of them prior to building. Inn at Little Wasmfegton sold out for Krebser Fund Benefit By Richard Lykes Specif to the Rappahannock News At first blush, one might wonder why 106 guests would rush to pay $1,000 per person to attend a benefit dinner. But when it is for a worthy local cause supported by a large number of citizens—and hosted by the Inn at Little Washington—one should not be surprised. The worthy cause is the ongoing fund raising efforts by the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation, a nonprofit group of Rappahannock citizens committed to increasing private land preservation in our county. The Krebser Fund was formed in 2003 in honor of the late Dr. Werner Krebser, a highly respected physician and dedicated conservationist in Rappahannock County. Rappahannock enjoys some of the most beautiful vistas in the Commonwealth. It is also one of the principal gateways to the Shenandoah National Park. Despite protective zoning and significant private conservation efforts in Our county, many are concerned about the increasing growth pressures from See BENEFIT, Page A3 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Anita L. Sherman CERTIFIABLE: Mayor Eugene Leggett (on the left) presents Richard Lykes with a certificate of appreciation. “Based on my past history with the town it might be two years,” Worley told the council, referring to an earlier dispute between him and the town over construction in Washington which was settled only a year ago.

Amissville resident dies in ATV accident By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Saturday, September 17 at approximately 10:30 p.m. Amissville resident Eugenia “Genia” Lynn Haught-Howard, 41, was killed while driving an All-Terrain Vehicle on South Poes Road, near Amissville Haught-Howard was on her way to a nearby cookout, driving her single seat 2003 Polaris 330 Trail Boss ATV with her 2-year-old great niece balanced in front of her when she lost control of the 4-wheeler. The vehicle ran off the right side of South Poes Road, where the recreational vehicle overturned. Both Haught-Howard and her great-niece j were ejected from the vehicle. The young child received only minor i scrapes but Haught-Howard struck her head on the ground, causing , severe head trauma which resulted in her death. “They had no protective clothing or helmet,” said Virginia State Trooper Don Corbin, who investigated the accident. 'M Virginia law requires that ATV operators wear helmets, and prohibit driving on public roadways except for situations where the driver is simply crossing a highway or is using the vehicle for farm use. ATV safety According to Mark Wilson, who runs a Richmond based ATV club, most ATV drivers take the required precautions before riding. “The very few people who don’t obey safety laws can make it difficult for the other ninety-five percent,” said Wilson. In a June 16 article on the The University of Virginia’s website, UVA Children’s Hospital physicians claim that ATV related injuries to children are on the rise. According to the UVA trauma database, the UVA Children’s Hospital has treated patients for 98 ATV-related admissions over the past two years. The article includes a list of recommended safety tips for ATV riders that advise wearing helmets, and tell ATV drivers never to carry passengers or drive on public roads. Haught-Howard may have felt that j these concerns were unnecessary because of the expected shortness of j her trip. “From the driveway she left to the people she was visiting it’s not j very far,” said Trooper Corbin. “We are still investigating the incident ” Monty Tayloe can be reached at mtayloe@timespapers.com Meetings • The Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association will be meeting on Sunday, September 25th at 7 p.m. at the County Extension office, second floor on Gay Street. • The agenda will be: Previous meeting minutes Treasurers report Committee reports-Christmas and events Website report-URL address and content Old business-bytaws and articles New business • On Monday, Sept. 26, the Town Council and Town Planning Commission will hold a joint meeting at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall to continue the review of the Comprehensive Plan. • On Wednesday, September 28 the Rappahannock County.

Tipperary native Tom Foley, left, jumps to win the open timber aboard Fields of Omagh, while Wexford-bom Jeff Murphy, center above, romps home with maiden hurdle winner, Virginia-bred Duck Shot. A double sort of day at Thornton Hill Murphy, Horner, Foley control card at season opener By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer SPERRYVILLE — Two riders. Four races. Eight horses. Myriad results. Making the most of the Virginia fall steeplechase season kickoff at the Thornton Hill Hounds Point-to-Point, locally based riders Jeff Murphy and Ellen Homer traded wins, grins and spins at the hilly Thornton Hill Farm course Saturday. Between the two of them, Murphy and Homer controlled the card, winning four of eight races on the program. Murphy struck first. The 24-year-old native of County Wexford, Ireland, stretched out for 12-length victory aboard Leeds Racing’s Duck Shot. Bred, raised and trained in Hume, Duck Shot, Jeff Murphy aboard, stayed out of trouble early, taking the lead with a half-mile to go and drawing off for the easy score. “He jumped grand, just grand,” Murphy said of the talented 8-year-old bay son of Shoot Again. “He did it easy.” Homer’s result? A fall after an erratic jump from a firsttime starter. Unhurt, Homer suited up for the second race alongside the glowing Murphy. Though Horner is an amateur and Murphy a pro, the entire jockey community shares a certain camaraderie — Murphy ribbed Homer for her sudden exodus while they readied for their next go.

Virginia 22747 Homer: The 41-year-old Monkton, Md., native threaded another first-time starter, Unexplainable, through traffic early, to lead by the race’s midpoint and extend the winning margin to five lengths by the wire. “His jumping’s what won it,” Homer said of the 9-yearold gray son of El Prado. “He was quick, like a cat, jumping and turning, getting his feet.” Murphy’s result? Same fence as Homer in the prior race, a fall after his mount — another first-time starter — took a stab at the uphill jump. The pair renewed their rivalry two races later in the six-furlong turf dash. Murphy made his move early aboard Marine, edging away for a virtually unchallenged, fivelength score. Homer’s result? Safe home, but well back in fifth place. Next race, and yet another set change. Homer and Murphy dashed about with the other jockeys, swapping silks and wiping sweat from their brows on the warm, muggy afternoon. They had one final engagement, in the 1 1/4-mile open flat race. Partnering Randy Rouse’s Edited, Homer upped the ante on Murphy, aboard Leeds Racing’s Dance For John, pressing him for the lead throughout. Following a heated stretch battle, Edited found more at the wire, edging to a halflength victory and giving the friends each a pair of wins on the card. A 30-mile net captures all four of Murphy and Homer’s winners, as well as Murphy and Homer themselves: Duck Shot trains in Hume, Unexplainable in Flint Hill, Marine in Middleburg and Edited near Aldie. Murphy lives near Upperville, Homer in Aldie.

Entries for the Thornton Hill races were unbelievably strong, but many horses were scratched prior to race day due to hard footing because of the lack of rain.

Benefit From Page A1 the surrounding metropolitan areas outside the nation’s capital. Why the Krebser Fund matters to Rappahannock Watching what has happened in once semi-rural Fairfax and Loudoun counties, many concerned citizens in Rappahannock have joined together to support efforts to purchase land threatened by development or to aid in the purchase of development rights on parcels with a high conservation value. Examples of notable conservation efforts in our area abound, including purchases of large tracts of land to protect Monticello. In nearby Albermarle and Clarke counties, purchase of development rights has helped working farmers who, without assistance from the Piedmont Environmental Council (which administers the Krebser Fund), would have been at risk of losing their land. In Rappahannock, the Krebser Fund this year helped protect a 100-acre Jenkins’ family farm near Castleton r through the purchase of development rights. Closer to home, development pressures that are now affecting our neighbors in Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, and Warren counties also will have an impact on Rappahannock. These ominous developments present a special challenge to the Krebser Fund as it tries to influence open land policies and practices in our own county. Tb preserve agriculture as a viable economic activity which, in turn helps maintain our scenic beauty, easements assist hard-working farmers gain needed capital by placing an easement on their land and earning a substantial state tax credit that they can use or sell. Farmers also benefit from reduced appraisal values on their land, thus lightening their tax burden. In additipn to encouraging working farms, easements made possible by programs such as the Krebser Fund help protect our county’s growing tourism—an increasingly major “green” industry in Rappahannock. Currently, over 20,000 acres—some 20 percent of all privately owned land in Rappahannock County—is now protected from future development by easements. The Krebser Fund hopes to increase that amount significantly to ensure that Rappahannock maintains its pastoral beauty forever. Thanking the guests who attended the gala fundraising event, the Fund’s chair, Fran Moore Krebser, noted, “Prior to this event, we raised over $150,000 and with this event, we have raised over $200,000. On top of that, we have been awarded a matching donation from the Greve Foundation. For every $2 the Krebser Fund raises, the Greve Foundation will donate $1, up to $500,000. This will go a long way in helping us reach our goal of protecting Rappahannock’s beautiful views and agricultural way of life. This could not have been accomplished without the generosity of everyone here.” Another enjoyable highlight, of an already fascinating evening was an Art Show of well-known area artists especially mounted for the occasion at the Shops of the Inn at Little Washington. Sales from the show brought in another $5,000 for the Krebser Fund. The artists represented in the exhibit included Sandra Forbush, Chris Stephens, Barbara Sherwood, Lois Manookian, William Whiting, Robin Purnell, Patton Wilson, Geneva Welch, Antonia Walker, and Martin Woodard. The fund raising dinner at the Inn at Little Washington Those attending the Krebser Fund dinner on Tuesday evening were richly rewarded for their commitment. Every seat in the dining room of the Inn at Little Washington was taken and guests savored the world-class cuisine for which the Inn at Little Washington has become famous. Using locally-grown produce where available, the menu offered a variety of selections from “Sorrell Jelly with Lemon Cream and Osetra Caviar” to “Braised Veal Cheek on a Salad of Miniature Green Beans with Batons of Summer Truffle, Foie Gras, and Crawfish Tails” and other delectable dishes in between. Gifts to the Krebser Fund are tax-deductible and are used to secure options on property, to purchase property and/or easements, and to pay for the legal, due diligence, marketing and other costs directly associated with such transactions. For more information, contact Sarah Gannon at the Piedmont Environmental Council at (540) 347-2334 ext. 23, or sgannon@pecva. org, or Fran Krebser at (540) 631-0821. Council From Page A1 Worley that it would take at least a month to resolve the council’s questions, and he appeared dismayed to have his latest request of the council delayed. “I don’t understand why it has to be a town meeting,” said Worley. “It’s no different than going to the Inn at Little Washington, and the menu says ‘hot dog, $100’but when you order it from the waiter he tells you he has to get together with the other waiters and talk about whether you could order it.” Worley plans to wait a month for the council’s decision . “This is me speaking personally, but whoever gets a new tap should at a minimum pay their part of the town’s capital costs,” said Bennett later. ”Any government process takes a while.” Pleasant Drive The proposed access road to the future site of the Pleasant View LLC subdivision is going to be constructed as a private driveway. The road will have an I-shaped turnaround area for emergency vehicles because culde-sacs are prohibited by town ordinance. “The intention is to have something that’s as unobtrusive as possible,” said Mike Brown, the attorney representing Jimmy DeBergh, the property owner. Washington likes Lykes The Washington Town Council issued a Certificate of Appreciation to local photographer and frequent Rappahannock News contributor Richard Lykes. “This certificate is for his contributions to the town web site and outstanding photography,” pronounced Mayor Eugene Leggett. Housekeeping The Town Council decided to make only practical repairs to damaged parts of town property Avon Hall. The building was damaged when pipes burst in its walls and leaked for several days, causing an estimated $74,000 in damages. Insurance will pay for most of the repairs, but the Town Council decided to conserve money by not repairing parts of the house that would probably be renovated by future buyers anyway. “We should take the money out of the cosmetic stuff and put it on the practical stuff,” said Claudia Mitchell. The council also approved the payment of an additional $3,960.00 to Milton Herd of Herd Planning, the firm assisting the town with their new comprehensive plan. The money is to cover the additional time and labor that the new comprehensive plan has required since it was originally included in the budget. “We thought we would be done sooner, it’s gotten a lot more complicated,” said Gary Schwartz, Chairman of the Tbwn Planning Commission.

Shorman YOUNG AMERICANS: Students at Rappahannock County Elementary School leam about the history of the National Anthem. Anthem From Page A1 Elementary school principal David Covington said he supports “anything we can do to emphasize and encourage patriotism”. Elementary school band teacher and local event organizer Lynne Fournier valued the communal effort and fun spirit of the exercise. “We have started off with a very rough opening, a week late. This seems to bring them together. A lot of them dressed in red white and blue. They really got into the spirit of it.” . It was an exercise in patriotism, an educational exercise teaching a bit of history and a bit of music, and a school spirit exercise to unify the children and teachers. Aware that a photographer was in the room, a teacher asked all the students to sit up straight for good pictures, and a wave passed through the crowd of diminutive citizens as hundreds of children all sat up straight at" once. A few brief speeches were made and several hard working young folk were presented awards for their superlative performances in the contests of the day before.

It was one of those evenings best served with a cup of coffee and a comfortable cuddling position on the couch with a good book or the latest flick. There was a public meeting planned at the Rappahannock County library for citizens to come and share their comments about what this county can do to help with Hurricane Katrina relief. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. and by 7:10 p.m. it didn’t look too promising as just a few cars dotted the parking lot. Bob Lander was ready with a fresh easel to take notes and Jim Gannon who has been serving as an unofficial spearheader of community efforts was looking a little worried. But all that changed as the rain stopped and a seeming flood of folks poured in causing Gannon to set up more chairs and Lander to move his easel to a spot where it wouldn’t be in the way. The room soon became filled with folks wanting to know more about how they could help and what they could do. “We will stay in constant prayer, Hopewell stands ready,” said Rev. Anna Allsberry of Hopewell Baptist Church. “Lead us to do our part, Lord,” said Rev. Phil Bailey as he led the group in prayer before the start of the meeting. Lots of people spoke and reported various efforts that have already begun throughout the county. It was more than a community meeting, it was a meeting of heart and mind united to lend out a helping hand to those who are suffering elsewhere in the country. As this editor clicks away at the keyboard, Hurricane Rita is roaring toward the Gulf Coast and as nature does will most likely be fickle in where she decides to land. Already, thousands of Katrina evacuees in Texas are being relocated again as the impeding storm threatens the Houston area. Undoubtedly there will be more people left in a state of devastation. A data base of local resources is currently being compiled at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Perhaps we will be able to directly help one family or more. While Rappahannock County may be small and seemingly remote and sometimes not all that interested in what happens in other parts of the country, it definitely has heart and will quickly rise to the occasion when people need help. ..worn Weapon.. JWQ&lNlAteWWIT - TAX6JT5,. •VV /*L M Letters Let’s take a look at a skatepark Allow me to introduce myself. I am 12 and have a growing interest in skateboarding. These past few months I have been visiting various skateparks in Virginia and it has come to my attention how far skateparks can go. If you have been to the Rappahannock Park (across from the Town of Washington) you may have seen what is supposed to be a ' skatepark. Upon closer inspection you’ll see it is an asphalt pad (which is not the correct kind of pavement for a skatepark), a smashed ramp with nails that could seriously injure someone, a broken gutter with a sharp rusty edge and a wooden box splintered to bits. I appreciate the efforts that others have made in creating this place for skaters but I think it’s time we take it to the next level. Let’s improve our skatepark! A more functional skatepark would do a lot of good things for our county. It would help keep kids out of trouble. It would keep skaters off thetown streets by giving them a Photos Courtesy of Will Mullany V)/HAT A RIDE: These are the current ramps at the Rappahannock park for skateboarders. place to skate. Skateboarding has become increasingly popular for children and it provides exercise, fun and entertainment for many. A skatepark would also provide a place to meet others outside of school and make this county more tightly knit. Also, a local skatepark would save gas by not having to ask our parents to drive all the way to Culpeper or Fairfax for clean skating fun. I know some might say, “ Oh, it’s too dangerous, someone might get hurt”. But, I’m proposing that our skatepark break away from the average. We should make a “street” skatepark. This" would simulate street elements like curbs, ledges, low ramps and handrails. This is hardly more dangerous than the playground that is already there. Also, this would cost an impressively low amount of money compared to more involved set ups with high ramps and half pipes. So, I urge everyone to go and take a look at our skatepark as it is and consider the idea of making some improvements. And to all the skateboarders, bmx-ers, inliners, and all others interested in helping to make this happen, contact Will Mullany at paintbox@shentel.net. Will Mullany Washington ‘Savor the Blue Ridge’ a resounding success Can you imagine Rappahannock County fields and mountains dotted with homes and subdivisions? If that were to happen we would loose the peace and tranquility of this special little slice of heaven we call home. The mission of the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation (KFRCC) is to work toward preserving open space in Rappahannock County and toward that end we need to raise a significant amount of money to fund that cause. Last Tuesday evening, we held our first fundraiser at the Inn at Little Washington and I am happy to report it was a resounding success. This was no little feat and it could not have happened without the work and contributions of many within our community. First and foremost, a warm and hearty thanks goes to Patrick O’Connell and Reinhart Lynch for offering the venue, the spectacular menu as well as their strong support to this worthy cause. Many, many details needed to be attended to and the Inn’s Rachel Hayden, Simon Pound and Andrew Welch dotted every “i” and crossed every “t” to make it all come off perfectly. The event included a terrific art show of renowned Rappahannock Artists including Sandra Forbush, Genevia Welch, Antonia Walker, Chris Stephens, Martin Woodard, Patton Wilson, Lois Manookian, Barbara Sherwood, Robin Purnell and William Whiting. Thirty beautiful pieces of art donated to the event for a week-long showing were displayed throughout the Inn’s gallery and ballroom. We are extremely grateful for their contribution to our event. Thanks go to Martin and Cheri Woodard for arranging and hanging the show and to Alaina Cognoun for her assistance in hanging and assist ing in sales. Special thanks must also go to Richard Lykes who donated his time and talents to photographing the event for the Krebser Fund Scrapbook. His incredible talent and perfectly trained eye caught the excitement and success of every moment to perfection! Any volunteer organiza- , tion with a large mission generally has one big problem. That is getting everything accomplished in a timely manner. An extra special thanks goes to Sarah Gannon, Rappahannock Field Officer for the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC). Sarah worked diligently with our event committee as well as the Krebser Fund Board to get every detail worked out on schedule. With numerous “bosses” throwing things her way for this event and the Fund business in addition to her PEC work detail for Rappahannock and Clark counties, Sarah handled the tasks at hand with professionalism, detail and grace. Without her efforts this could not have been accomplished so well. On behalf of the Board of the Krebser Fund, I also want to thank the citizens of Rappahannock County for their support since we have started this effort in 2003. With the pressures of development knocking at our doors intently it is more important than ever to keep Rappahannock County just the way we all know and love. We can be successful at saving Rappahannock from the fate of Loudoun, Prince William and even Fauquier if we all work together. Thanks to all who have contributed time, effort and money towards this very worthy cause. Fran Moore Krebser Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation Thank you for people who care The Washington Masonic cemetery has been maintained and beautified by people who donated their time and equipment. Mr. Johnson of Woodville, a member of the Washington Masonic Lodge has transported his riding mower and mowed the cemetery sev eral times this summer. His interest was knowing the financial status of the lodge, unable to afford the up keep, and not wanting the property neglected. Daniel Keyser of Sperryville used his wood-eater to cut the high grass and brushes around the entire fence row and around the stones in the cemetery. He also cut low hanging limbs off the trees. His interest is the love for family members buried there. These two men labored in high humidity and heat for days. This past spring Shirley Berry transplanted perennials at the entrances of the cemetery, which helped brighten the area. For those of us who own a lot in the cemetery, we should commend these people for their sincere civicpride.

Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO September 23,1965 The Annual Dog Mart, sponsored by the Fredericksburg-Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America, Saturday, October 2, 1965. The mart revives a custom which dates back to 1698, when the colonists and the Pamunkey Indians were traders. The white man coveted the valuable furs, gold and other articles of the Indians. The Indians coveted the exceptionally fine hunting dogs of the white men. As a result the dog mart started. This is the only time in the history of man that he has laid down his guns for dogs. The Dog Mart begins with a parade through the downtown section of the city at 10:00 a.m. The parade consists of people and their dogs of all ages, sizes and descriptions.

It’s fun and invigorating,” he said. In “Albion” Mr. Coon will sing the baritone role as AjKtllyon, a satyr, half man and half goat. Mezzo Soprano Marilyn Boyd will play the Mad Furies. Richard Squires, the author and composer of the opera has been working on the piece for 15 years, Mr. Coon said. A CD has been cut of the Dickey Latham of Viowtown holds the 14 1/2 pound ground hog which he shot last week (1965) on their farm.

Certified Arborist Peer Repellent That Really JBerta The escalating deer population means trouble for local landscapes. While they look harmless enough, deer devour plants, foliage, and shrubs, leaving gardens barren. Reducing deer damage to your landscape is now possible. Bartlett Tree Experts has developed a new deer repellent program that can be customized specifically for your property. Extensive research conducted by scientists at our 350 acre Lab means we only use the most effective products which pose no risk to people, pets, or the deer. While deer feed all year long, they cause the heaviest damage to shrubs and trees during the winter. That is why it is important to take advantage of this valuable service now. Treatments applied in autumn will help repel deer from plants before they develop feeding patterns and before their browsing becomes damaging. For more information on deer repellent programs, or any of the tree and shrub care services I can provide for you, please call me at 1-877-Barttett (1-877-227-8538) or email me at jwood@barUett.com.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Bill Kossler HANDS IN THE SOIL: Trista Scheuerlein and her sixth and seventh grade agriculture class putting potting soil into Earth Box individual portable gardens. Learning to grow , By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer Supported by the Young Farmland Fund, set up by Mitzi Young, Trista Scheuerlein is teaching a class at the elementary school this year in the science of agriculture. It is an exploratory class for sixth and seventh graders running as part of the school’s Farm-to -Table program. Monday, Scheuerlein was outside with her students setting up Earth Boxes. These are biggish plastic planters with a water reservoir at the bottom, a tube to feed water to the reservoir without drenching the soil, and a plastic sort of shower cap on top, with holes poked in it for seedlings to sprout. These boxes are designed to keep moisture in but allow aeration of the soil and prevent root rot. The plastic cap both keeps out weeds and keeps in moisture. Having a screened off reservoir for the water at the bottom allows plenty of water without drenching the soil. These simple devices are in use in classrooms and in small scale gardening across the U.S., in Latin America and Africa.. Because they are interchangeable and identical, they are also useful for scientific study, by keeping a lot of the variables in classroom growing experiments identical, whether here, in El Salvador or in Ghana. Scheuerlein attended a presentation in late August where Katy Warner, president of the American Horticultural Society, and Robert Patterson, senior liaison officer for the United Nation’s Food and Agricultural Organization, shared information with school officials about “The Growing Connection” - a program developed for middle school students across the world where students learn to grow food plants using a uniform sustainable growing system.' While flowers are pretty, getting food out of gardens teaches children about agriculture and hopefully nurtures an appreciation for growing their own food and the land that is required to do so. Essentially little portable gardens, each box is being put together, planted and maintained by a team, \yho will chart the progress of their various crops over the course of the fall. Students will be able to compare growth and productivity rates with different crops, watering levels and so on. As a bonus, they will get some fresh produce in the bargain.

Farm-to-Table Program summer internship winds down as fall exploratory classes begin By Trista Scheuerlein Special to the Rappahannock News Watermelons burst out of their raised beds. Heirloom lemon cucumbers trail into the neatly mulched aisles. Cherokee purple tomatoes, Incan com, garlic, onions, leeks, peas, potatoes, and beans are just Some of the delicious vegetables that Nicole Gallihugh, summer intern with the Farm-to-Table program, has been harvesting to enjoy and to donate to the Rappahannock County Senior Nutrition Center this summer. Nicole, a former horticulture student, hopes to go to Lord Fairfax Community College to study landscaping after she finishes high school with the class of 2006. The summer internship has given Nicole an opportunity to learn the weekly rhythms of the garden, including seeding, weeding, harvesting, and delivering vegetables. Nicole has also been researching Lord Fairfax Community College’s esteemed horticulture program. mcoie uamnugh is just one of the many students who is reaping the benefit of hands-on learning through the F arm-to-Table program. Farm-to-Table was initiated in January 2004 by Janet Davis of the Sunnyside Institute (the non-profit arm of Sunnyside Farms) and Amy Silver, Director of Grants and Partnerships for Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Education Foundation. Funding for 2005 has been jointly provided through generous funding by the Cole Family Foundation and Jeff and Lisa Franzen of McLean, Virginia. Community partners with backgrounds in education and agriculture have teamed up to create a program that provides hands-on experiences and classwork in sustainable agriculture. Up to this point, the Farmto-Table program has worked primarily in the high school with classes such as Horticulture, Culinary Arts, Building Trades, Industrial Technology, Environmental Science, and Business. In the coming school year, Farm-to-Table will find a new place in Rappahannock County Elementary School as well.

I hope that some of these students will decide that they want to farm here while conserving our soil and our water. ” Elementary school students and their parents had a chance to meet Scheuerlein and find out more about the new Exploratory class earlier this month. Some of the plans for the new exploratory class include creating a design for an outdoor garden classroom at the elementary school, learning various plant propagation techniques, creating worm compost, and studying the origins of food.

Sports in Brief ■ By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Football: Panthers outnumbered 62-0 The RCHS Panthers lost to Loudoun County High School in Leesburg 62-0 last Saturday. At least part of the blame for such an overwhelming loss can be blamed on the size disparity between the two schools. Loudoun County has over 1200 students to RCHS’ 440, and 58 men on their football team to the Panthers’ 32. Aside from the numbers difference, Coach Pullin is still having problems with his defense. Loudoun scored almost every tnree plays, and according to Pullin the Panthers need to improve their tackling. In the Panthers favor, they didn’t give up despite being outnumbered. “Give those kids their credit, they don’t quit. They’re exhausted but they keep trying,” said Pullin The Panthers will face Cumberland High School in a home game on Saturday October 1 at 2:00 p.m. Cross Country: Bull Run District meet The RCHS Cross Country Panthers hosted a meet for the Bull Run district at their track near the Bleu Rock Inn on Wednesday September 14. The boys team finished 3rd out of five contenders while the girls came in 4th out of 4 teams. Alex Ramey finished second overall, Josh Makela finished third. Amanda Smoot was the best of the RCHS girls, finishing twelfth overall. Rappahannock County Soccer Association results Turtles rule The Rappahannock County U-12 girls "Titanium Turtles” had their first game at home, Saturday September 17, against Madison County. Caitlin Humbles scored the first goal. Bryn Sonnett. Cullen McCarthy, and Peyton Bailey scored with a final score of 6-1. Sara Henry was goalie first half and Danielle Boutte second. Haley Hogan Danielle Boutte Lauren Light, Sara Henry and Allison Stuart led the defense. The Turtles next game is this Saturday at Rappahannock Elementary School at 11.30 a.m. against Culpeper. Eagles still soaring The U-8 Eagles won another game this past weekend, with a score of 12-0 against another Madison team. Goals were scored by Kathleen Forrest, Teresa Lee, Tymbor Lee and Evan Marcus. In last week’s game, it was “Shane” O’Heir that scored one of the goals. PANTHERS ON THE HOOF: Panthers girls and boys cross country compete in the Bull Run District at the RCHS track next to the Bleu Rock Inn. The Cross Country team will face Stonewall Jackson High School in Quicksburg on October 1. Golf: Panther Golf drops two The golf team lost their last two matches to Luray 169-173 and Madison 172-178 respectively. In the match against Luray, Panthers Alex Sharp and Jacob Dodson played their best career games, but it wasn’t enough. The Golf Panthers sea son is drawing to a close with just one game left before the district tournament. They play Clarke County at the Bowling Green course in Front Royal on September 22. Volleyball: Undefeated Panthers The Panther’s girls volleyball team continued their undefeated run, beating Luray on the road 3-1. They face Page County at home on Thursday September 22. ^What Improvements to Your Home Add the Most Value? Upgraded kitchens and baths are a great start. Next comes the Master Bedroom, and finally, family living space. If you are plan' ning to sell your home, these are the areas to concentrate on for the best re-sale value. All other space is debatable as to whether you would actually recover the amount you put into it, If you are not going to sell your property anytime soon it may not matter.

These issues may be too upsetting for discussions with family and friends. With this in mind, experts brought over 50 terminally ill volunteers together to join in a group talk session. They met once a month for 75 minutes in a neutral space over the course of one year. Although preliminary, the trail showed that the meeting helped address depressive symptoms, deathrelated feelings, and better spiritual well being. As it turned out, the meetings helped the terminally ill overcome feelings of isolation and face death.” Facing death is a challenge for us all, but comfort is had in the company of others. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we're here to make a tough time easier by taking care of the details. We’re at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton Call 347-3431.

House tour to feature High Meadow By Helen Williams Special to the Rappahannock News The sign on Crest Hill Road sa. “High Meadow Farm,” and a long farm lane winds beside beautifully rebuilt stone fences, fields, some studded with hay bales and others with cows, an old log cabin, a pond, and bam. Finally this lane makes a right angle turn, and, in front of the visitor, is the manor house of High Meadow. Behind it the surrounding mountains and hills seem to enfold and protect it. On tour High Meadow Farm is one of the houses featured in this year’s Dried Flower Sale and House Tour, sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of Trinity Church in Bromfield Parish. The sale and tour scheduled for October 15 and 16, is the group’s only fundraiser, and monies are used for charities both in and outside the county. High Meadow history This fieldstone home was built in the 1790’s as a threestory structure, with chimneys at either end, and three windows on each floor. Its beauty is a tribute to the original builders and owners, as well as to Thomas G. Walker, Jr., the current owner, who has recently completed three years of extensive improvements, rebuilding, and thoughtful renovations to both house and property. His goal was not to change the house, but to return it to its original proud state. And as visitors take in the stone walls, patios, terrace, and swimming pool, they can imagine two hundred years of Rappahannock history. Two hundred plus years is a long time and the house has had some additions. In 1941, a wing and staircase were added, and Walker has just completed ' './r<4 * a larger wing on the right, which has added a library and sunroom on the main level. Both additions have matched the exterior work of the original expert stonemasons. The front entrance to High Meadow, reached by a new curving stone stairway, is a recently uncovered intricately carved wooden doorway and surround, believed to predate the house and to have come * from a rectory in Philadelphia. The entrance hall has an original fireplace, and the paintings and accessories mirror the owner’s interest in horses, hunting, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge area. In the living room, deep window wells attest to the depth of the stone walls. The original wood floor is now honored by a large Aubusson rug whose golden color harmonizes with the upholstery of the sofas and chairs. Old Herend china pieces accent the room, as well as interesting occasional tables and lamps. walKer nas continued the original house plans with fireplaces in every room. In the library, a dark needlepoint rug sets off brass accents, such as a whale oil lamp from a ship. A mahogany shotgun case on its specially built stand serves as a coffee table. Paintings by both Anthony and Anita Baams of Middleburg, continue the countiy theme. Beyond the library is a new sunroom/porch with a heated floor and a fireplace. Improvements On the first level, the dining room features a long, oval, two pedestal mahogany table with eight chairs. A server, highboy, and original fireplace complete the authentic colonial look. China and silver pieces accent the dark, highly polished furniture. A Sandra Forbush painting hangs over the fireplace. A new kitchen and office space are part of the renovations to this level. The master bedroom, on the third level, has an old dark pine floor, the planks just recovered in the renovating of an old log cabin on the property. Of special note is a real mouse hole, preserved for all to see. A casual seating area in the dressing room includes the original fireplace. A spacious staircase at the back of the house provides access to all three levels, and serves as a gallery for paintings, notably several Virginia views by artist William Whiting. Behind the house are the beautifully proportioned stables, filled with horses for riding and hunting. In front is a restored swimming pool, with new plantings. Visitors to this little piece of Rappahannock County will remember the grace and dignity of the newly decorated interiors, in which all elements are ordered harmoniously, and all reflect the taste of someone immersed in Rappahannock country life. And the exterior will continue the long history of keeping watch over the county’s fields, streams and hills. High Meadow was on the House Tour 45 years ago. At that time, it was the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Freer Willson. It was for many years after that the home of Admiral and Mrs. Josef Gardiner. The 49th Annual Dried Flower Sale and House Tour will be on Saturday, October 15 from 11: 00 a.m. to 5 :00 p.m. and Sunday, October 16 from 1:00 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tea will be served both days from 2 to 5 p.m. at Middleton Inn in Washington. Tickets per house are $10.00. Block tickets are $20.00 • For information, phone Helen Williams at (540) 9374279 Photo by Richard Lykes MANOR HOUSE: Built in the 1790’s, the beautifully restored field stone manor house at High Meadow Farm on Crest Hill Road near Flint Hill has been opened for the Trinity Episcopal Church’s annual Dried Flower Sale and Fall House Tour.

Louisa Barten is the new general manager at The Griffin Tavern. Executive Chef Matt Bauman features dishes crafted from Rappahannock produce. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Anita L. Sherman Mary Francis is The Griffin’s flower lady There’s a new accent at The Griffin Tavern Forget the scooper - this vanilla ice cream gets piped in. I By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Griffin Tavern in Flint Hill is a bit pubbier now. It has an authentic English born general manager in the person of Louisa Barten. “I’m having a lot of fun,” smiled the enthusiastic Barten who previously worked at the Inn at Little Washington and before that was in the hospitality. industry in England. She’s been in the United States for about five years now. “I don’t even think of England as my home anymore,” said Barten as she looked wistfully toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. “I have a home in Sperryville. It’s absolutely lovely here and the people are so warm. If s a wonderful community.” Owners Jim and Debbie Donehey have entrusted Barten with the daily running I of The Griffin Tavern which has made its mark not only in Rappahannock County but in several neighboring counties as well. It’s definitely a “go to” destination for many and Barten isn’t looking to change that. When the Doneheys spotted the building in 2002 -formerly the Bradford House - that was for sale they envisioned creating an Englishstyle pub, like the ones that Jim had become familiar with when traveling in England. Naming it “The Griffin Tavern” came easily as this mythological creature has many virtues and few vices. New colors for familiar rooms One of Barten’s first moves has been to redecorate those dining areas that aren’t actually in the bar area. “I want to extend that pub feel to the other rooms,” said Barten who has gradually seen to the repainting of walls and addition of draperies and new paintings. Now, there is the Rappahannock Room which boasts some of the drawings of local artist Tom Tepper. “I want to put some cushions on these chairs,” noted Barten as she surveyed her nearly completed project. “You know...warm it up a bit and cut down on some of the noise... probably put down some area rugs as well.” The Hunt Room has elegant hunter green walls and paintings of sporting dogs. “We’ve used colors that go with our Griffin Tavern colors,” remarked Barten who pointed out another room done in burgundy and with plenty of natural light flowing in from the windows. The Griffin Club There is another large room upstairs that is currently used for meetings and special gatherings. Barten has a special idea for tfcat space. “Tm thinking of starting a Griffin Club,” smiled Barten with a bit of a twinkle in her eyes. “We have a lot of customers that come here on a regular basis. This would be a place * e 1 I I 1 See TAVERN, Page B2 Patrons can choose to dine outside while the weather is fine.

Ballard Art, Rug & Home in Washington, VA, recently returned from a trip to the Alsace-Lorraine region of France where they explored the French Jacquard looming factories and discovered an area of the world that was both welcoming and beautiful. Driving through the mountainous Vosges region, they were struck by the similarities between Rappahannock County and the stunning vistas of the Vosges Mountains. Une could easily see the colorful inspiration that the French region brings to the designs that are produced by the Le Jacquard Francais tablecloth factory. Because the Ballard’s carry Le Jacquard Francais table linens in their shop, it was this looming factory that was the primary focus of their busy 4-day visit to the small town of Gerardmer, France. A brief history of Le Jacquard Francais company is in order here. This company was founded in 1888, in the north-east Vosges region of France where several other linen factories were also being established (Gamier Theibaut, Beauville - also carried in the Ballard shop). Le Jacquard Francais’ reputation spans over 115 years, including surviving two World Wars which resulted in twice destroying the looming factory and the town. The resilience of the town is definitely reflected in the artistry of each tablecloth. Le Jacquard Francais designs are unparalleled in the industry, capturing subtleties and artistry not found anywhere else in the world. The tablecloths are still produced on jacquard looms. Remember the old punch-hole cards of Photo by Robert Ballard TIGHTLY WOVEN: Joanie Ballard pot a chance to see just how their tablecloths are made on giant looms at the Le Jacquard Francais factory in France. WARM WELCOME: In the Ballard’s honor, the American Flag was flown atop the factory. the first computers? These types of cards were first created by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1790 who designed the first loom that bears his name. Simply put, he created the looming process that uses a complex series of up and down movements of threads that are triggered by the preset design of holes on expansive punch cards. Although most of the jacquard looms are now set up with a computerized system, they still apply the same process used for over 100 years and are carefully managed and repaired daily by factory loom workers. The Ballards were warmly welcomed in Gerardmer, France, by Stephane Lacroix, General Manager of Le Jacquard Francais. The factory even flew the American flag above the factory in honor of their visit.

Tavern From Page B1 that they could go, have a drink, sit and relax, use their laptops and have meals.” “There would be a membership fee but people could come in and go directly upstairs. I envision comfy leather sofas and couches with perhaps its own bar. I’m not quite sure when we’ll introduce this feature but it is a plan,” said Barten. The upstairs of Griffin Tavern has another feature that not many people may realize. The long, narrow hallway is perfect for an art gallery. Barten doesn’t look to change that attraction which currently boasts the works of several local artists. New tastes Barten has been at her new position since April but it didn’t take her long to acquire another new treasure for the tavern - Executive Chef Matt Bauman. Bauman previously worked at the Inn at Little Washington as a kitchen supervisor. Now Bauman stands, at the helm of his own kitchen and has a few menu changes in mind but not a dramatic overhaul of dishes that loyal patrons have grown to love and look forward to - like fish and chips, Shepherds Pie and English bangers and mash. “Matt is a professional but he’s also down to earth and he’s definitely passionate about his cooking,” said Barten. “We work very well together.” ’ Chef Ibdd Eisenhauer is still with The Griffin but is concentrating his culinary efforts on the catering end of their business these days. Barten and Bauman are very conscious about the wealth of local produce that is available in Rappahannock and want to feature that as much as possible. “We’re planning a line of jams and jellies as well,” said Barten who already has a display spot picked out for them. Bauman has already done several theme weekends where he featured fresh peaches, Virginia Ham, and most recently various dishes using apples. “I went to culinary school in Youngstown, Ohio,” grinned Bauman, “before joining the Inn.” Bauman likes to mingle among the customers as often as he is able to. “I want to know what they like and don’t like,” said Bauman who is currently offering their Caesar salad in two versions. One traditional and the other with the romaine lettuce grilled. “We’ve had customers who weren’t actually sure what they were eating,” chuckled Bauman so we’re offering it both ways. Several of Bauman’s new dishes are getting rave reviews like his fresh mussels and his summer scampi pasta dish. In that, the prawns are large, the noodles are bathed in a buttery but light sauce with red peppers and freshly chopped scallions. The dish is served with a small loaf of bread. “Eventually, I’d like to start growing our own herbs,” said Barten who is delighted with the range of fresh flowers that surround the building. Speaking of flowers, one change that Barten was forbidden to make by the Doneheys was any change with Mary Francis. Mary, Mary, quite contrary Francis appears with a bouquet of freshly cut flowers in lavender hues. “They're for a special arrangement,” she remarked. Francis not only does all the floral arrangements but her handiwork can be found in all the new draperies and curtains. “She’s also my resident grandmother,” laughed Barten. “I wouldn’t want her going anywhere.” Barten has a five-year-old son, Philip, who just started kindergarten this year. Francis is also The Griffin’s baker of pies and many are so popular that customers will order them ahead. Drink and entertainment The Griffin Tavern features an eclectic variety of beers - many of them on tap. ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Boddington,” said Barten, as a sleek golden colored cat walked beneath a patio table. “He’s named after one of our beers.” Along with fine beers there are dart boards, chess sets on many of the tables, several television screens and live music. “We’re so lucky,” said Barten. “Street Legal is performing again. The place will be packed and people start dancing. It’s great.” Live music has been a mainstay at The Griffin Tavern as well as regular events like Trivia Night every Thursday, and Sushi Night which is held every second Monday of the month. The seafood is flown over from Honolulu to make the fresh sushi and sashimi. “It’s very popular and the place is overflowing on those nights,” said Barten. Sunday is football watching day along with a bowl of delicious chili. Crafting his art in the kitchen “They're from Roy’s Orchard,” beamed Bauman as he proudly pulled out a tray of recently poached Honey Crisp Apples. Ib those apples, Bauman would add a glaze made from reduced red wine and apple cider and vanilla ice cream that he piped into the core of the apple. Bauman worked meticulously but with flair as he carefully spooned out the silken brandy-colored liquid and began drizzling a pattern onto the plate. “There’s no real science or art to this,” said Bauman as he hovered close to the plate but then added softly. “CheflPatrick O’Connell) always told us that it should look like it’s fallen from heaven.” That it did as he gingerly placed one of the just-right poached apples into the center of his glazed design. “We could serve them flaming,” said Bauman as he looked toward Barton with a sly smile. “There wouldn’t be time,” laughed Barton as she nodded with approval after tasting the tender apple with its hint of glaze and coating of vanilla ice cream. The Griffin Tavern is located at 659 Zachapr Taylor Highway in Flint Hill, Virginia.

Ballards From Page B1 After several meetings with Mr. Lacroix, the Ballards were given, for the first time at the factory, an exclusive night tour where they met with all of the factory loom workers and were invited to attend a worker’s meeting where the final prod uct of the new lines were presented and discussed. The looms run 24-hours a day, and the whole building vibrates as one walks through the upper floors. The following morning, Mr. Lacroix escorted the Ballards through the factory, beginning first with information on the factory’s use of flax and cotton, and then a walk through the huge “looming floor” to see the intricate mechanization of these looms. Mr. Lacroix generously introduced them to every aspect of the looming process, from start to finish, allowing them an up-close and personal experience with the creation and the intricate looming process. This visit reinforced the strong relationship that the Ballards have with the company and reinforces their continued commit ment of bringing the beauty and artistry of these unique textiles to Rappahannock County. Hospitality will now be returned by the Ballard’s as they host representatives of Le Jacquard Francais to Washington, Virginia this week. They are sure file charm and sweetness they experienced in Gerardmer will be returned ten-fold.

TOWNS & VILLAGES Cool mornings stir old thoughts of hunting These cool mornings are having a peculiar effect on me. Don’t know about you, but I’ve been wondering if the squirrel rifle is sighted in, and if I can find a handful of bullets and slip off one morning while my bride is still asleep. Talked to Ray Coffey the other day, builder extraordinaire from down Castleton way and a crack shot with the small bore. He advised as how he had been out one day, and though he and his friend had to hunt like the dickens, they did come back with enough for a good mess. Now, here’s a fellow who is busy all the time and he found time to go squirrel hunting.

I’m going to fix that problem. Uncle Clyde remembered My uncle, Clyde Lillard, was something of a legend in our family, particularly, when it came to hunting. The stories, sometimes told about Clyde, and sometimes told about his father, Jim Lillard, have been passed down for ages. Nobody tells them anymore. The people have passed on, and the wonderful stories seem to have died with them. For instance, it was said that Clyde could set up a strike anywhere match at 20 yards, and light it With a .22 bullet from his old open sight, single shot, bolt action .22. It was said that he could sharpen an ax to a keen edge, and sit it up in front of a 2 x 4 and shoot one time at the edge of the ax and two holes would show up in the 2x4, the bullet having been split by the edge of the ax. Nobody ever accused me of doing that. I started squirrel hunting with a shotgun. My Dad would give me two or three shells before he left for work. When he came home, he wanted the shells back, or some I As i single woman, I didn't think coupons would bo helpful. I found out thst a few minutes of clipping each weekend went a long way!

WValley Health Warren Memorial Hospital thing for the pot for every shell. I mean, you just didn’t miss a bushytail with a 12 gauge shotgun, and shells weren’t free. Nothing was wasted Dad and I skinned the squirrels, and he used his pocketknife. We didn’t waste much. Without getting into more detail than you probably want, I’ll just tell you that he liked the heads, cooked with all the other parts. There is a tiny little piece of meat on the jowls, and after he picked that off, he took his case knife and cracked the skull, and extracted a pea-sized piece of squirrel brains. I wanted to hunt squirrels like Clyde did. Not with a 12 gauge, but with the .22. When I was 18, and started working, one of the first things I bought was a .22 rifle. I practiced and practiced. Truth be told, I had to put a scope on it to get the kind of accuracy I wanted. But, I kept at it, and was soon bringing home squirrels for the pot. Clyde had told me to shoot for the head; you waste less meat that way. This was not my Dad’s idea. You see, the bullet would bust the skull, and the head had to be thrown away. My father did not cuss a lot, but when he helped me skin the squirrels that I had taken with my new rifle, before he pulled the hide down over the head, he would take his thumb and place it squarely on the skull, and if he felt any movement or looseness, he would say, “Damn, son, you busted another one.” And I was proud Clyde Lillard was my uncle.
