Valley Road, Route 231 and Slate Mills Road, Route 707. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan Clatterbuck F.T. Baptist Church: The church is noted not only for her history and meeting house, but also for her friendly members. CELEBRATION: Nearly 25 people gathered for the Historic.: Highway Marker Dedication Ceremony. Living history to be featured at F. T. Baptist Church By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer A recent Saturday afternoon was the setting for a new era for the F. T. Baptist congregatibn . Roughly 25 people gathered to celebrate the dedication of a historical highway marker placed in honor of F. T. Baptist Church. Ralph Yowell, Deacon Chairman, started the afternoon’s ceremonies with a warm welcome for those who had come to brave the heat and honor one of Rappahannock’s own. Dan Yowell, pastor of F. T. Baptist, opened with a prayer. Others who helped make the event possible were Mayo Yowell, Mrs. Lucia Kilby, A1 Simpson, Lanny Horton, Director of Missions for the Shiloh Baptist Association, and Julian Aylor from the Virginia Department of Transportation. Ginny Pegeow of Etan was eager to share her feelings about the historical highway marker. “It was wonderful to honor the church with a marker, and the church has a lot of history,” said Pegeow. “Our church is not a museum, but an active furnishing congregation with an interest in community affairs,” added Mrs. Lucia Kilby. Unveiling Once the marker was unveiled, smiles were evident on the faces of the congregation. After the closing prayer by Dan Yowell, refreshments were served at the church fellowship hall! This was a happy occasion for the members of F. T. Baptist Church. A day that they can remember for the next 227 years. Marking the past Concealed in the back roads of Rappahannock County is the little church, F. T. Baptist, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This church was founded 227 years ago, in 1778. According to the church records, the first meetings were held in the open on the banks of the Hughes River, under a grove of beech trees near Sharp Rock, upstream of Piola Mills. It was not until 1792 that three quarters of an acre were deeded to the Ragged Mountain Baptist Society by William and Judith Bradley, land intended for a meeting house for people to attend religious services. There is no record of whether a meeting house was actually built. However, what is recorded in the minutes of what is now known as the Shiloh Baptist Association is that in 1802 the church was referred to as “Ragged Mountain,” and the minutes of the Association’s 1804 meeting show the name changed to F. T. Baptist Church. “F. T.” comes from the initials of Francis Thornton, who received large. land grants in the region. In the beginning F.T. Valley’s first church records begin in 1805, and indicate that a meeting house had been built. By 1816 this building was in such bad repair that a committee recommended that a new structure be built in a different location. The site of the current church started as a piece of ground that was deeded to the church by John and Jamima Zimmerman, near Mr. Conyer’s store. According to the church records, the building committee completed See F.T.

Members’ goals in revising the Comprehensive Plan have been balanced between maintaining and preserving the historic nature of the town and providing utilities to town residents. “That’s the tightrope we’ve been walking for the last year and a half,” said Planning Commission Chairman Gary Schwartz.

They spoke as representatives of the local environmental research organization RappFLOW (Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Watershed).' RappFLOW has done what Hunter described as a “quick and dirty” rapid assessment of watershed conditions. In cooperation with numerous area organizations and with the help of field work by Rappahannock County High School students, they have mapped an array of water and land quality variables. By creating a ready body of hard scientific data, they hope to aid county planners and land owners in making decisions that protect and improve the quality of water flowing through our county and out to the Chesapeake Bay As one of many examples of what RappFLOW has produced; they have mapped the areas of the county in forest, in pasture and in development, overlaid upon a map of the county showing the several local rivers and the portions that are considered impaired or polluted by the state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Parts of the Rush and Thornton rivers are designated as 303d impaired by the DEQ. This means that tests find more than the acceptable amount of fecal coliform bacteria germs in the water. If the streams’ cleanliness does not improve, the state could impose strict requirements. State mandates could be more burdensome and expensive than actions we may choose to take on our own. RappFLOW’s data helps pinpoint the most likely sources of contamination- say, cattle in a stream or runoff from fields. Identifying the Graphic courtesy of RappF'OW correct sources will help lead to solutions. For instance, hypothetically, a farmer could be approached about keeping cattle out of streams, or allowing a section of stream to become forested. He or she could be steered toward federal grants paying for beneficial changes, like those See WATER, Page A2 Sweet Magnolia’s Sperryville has a new shop that you won’t want to miss.

School Board on track with track A By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer At a special meeting of the School Board Tuesday evening, School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell proposed that the School Board put the task of putting together a bid request for a long discussed new high school track into the hands of County Administrator John McCarthy. “1 think that this could help with support by the Board of Supervisors if we do this,” Chappell said. “It means bidding without acrylic. I want to bid an acrylic surface separately. at a later date. I think it is u portant for our students down the road. “ Last year, the School Board took a bid for a number of construction projects, including a track with a vinyl surface. Lantz Construction Company of Winchester Virginia bid $550,000 for the full, acrylic covered track. Because the bid for the several projects came in higher than originally estimated, the track has been separated from the rest of the package of proposed school improvements. The Board of Supervisors instructed Chappell to proceed with bids for a simpler, pared down track, without an acrylic increasing the numbwfcfxontractors able to mmpotSg W The School Board and Chappell favor an acrylic surface because the surface is much kinder to the runners’joints and bones, and it lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Spieker track fund Vice Chair and Piedmont representative Aline Johnson asked if the monies from the Ann Spieker Track Fund could be devoted later to the acrylic surface. That fund is named in honor of Washington Fire and Rescue Chief, former track coach and teacher, and long time supporter of Rappahannock Athletics, Ann Spieker. It is overseeing funds raised for the track through a “Men of Rappahannock” calender two years ago. The fund contains some $50,000. While less than ten percent of the cost of the track, it is a much higher proportion of the cost of an acrylic surface. The fund may expire as soon as February unless the Ann Spieker Track Foundation, over- ’ seeing the fund, modifies its Essential Health Core, Affordably Priced Jgj|j§ Introducing Individual Essential KeyCare Now more than ever, Virginians need protection against the rising cost of medical care, particularly those who don't have access to employer-sponsored health benefits.

Chappell said the use of that trapk/fund was something of Supervisors and the i«ma’s administrators. Several members of the School Board asked whether it would be possible to stipulate that all bids would be for a track that met the conditions needed to add an acrylic surface later. Once McCarthy embarked on the task of soliciting bids, Chappell explained, the Board of Supervisors was free to do as it pleased, so a stipulation would be simply a suggestion. The School Board voted unanimously to entrust McCarthy to organize the bidding process, and ask that bids be for a track that can be upgraded later. Fully accredited Chappell announced he received official confirmation from the state that Rappahannock schools were fully accredited by the state’, according to the », but that it was ultithe hands of both the requirements set out in the Standards of Learning program (SOLs). Girl not playing For an horn1 before the School Board went into open session, a mother with two children waited in the School Board office lobby. Young Erin Eton, a 5th grader at Rappahannock Elementary School, had a matter she wanted to air with the Board. Eton’s mother brought her to the meeting as an educational exercise, and to give her daughter the chance to speak her mind and state her case. While waiting for the board to end its closed session, Eton explained that she was concerned with effective use of the elementary school’s recreational facilities. She explained that the elementary school has two sets of recreational equipment, in two separate areas of the schoolyard. First through fourth graders use one close to the school, which has a deck, and a slide, and a number of structures, doors and areas to climb around or hide. But “All the 5th graders have to go up to the top of the hill, and they mostly don’t do anything” Eton explained. There is a variety of recreational equipment up where the older children have recreation time, including monkey bars and a sliding pole. But the equipment isn’t as amenable to such impromptu group games as tag or hide and seek. As a result there is more milling around and less play. If possible, Eton said, “we want a slide and a deck and a climbing wall.” If that is too expensive, or will take too long, she suggested allowing the 5th graders to use the same equipment used by the younger students, changing the current policy of segregating the areas by age group. When asked, Eton elaborated that there isn’t a conflict for the facilities, because “we don’t go out at the same time as the fourth graders”. She said she suspects the reason the areas are separate is because the school administrators believe the older kids find the equipment for the younger students too small and too childlike. Eton wants to persuade the authorities that their other benefits outweigh that consideration. After noting that the School Board was meeting in a special session with just one concern on the agenda, and that the board has open sessions for the public to see and to speak, but not debate, chairman Wesley Mills invited Eton to speak. The board listened to her make her case, thanked her and made several recommendations. First, that she should bring the matter up with elementary school principal David Covington, and second, that she should think about running for class office - and later, maybe Student Council Association representative.

Adolfi applied to the planning commission for a special use permit to operate a counseling practice on Water Street in Sperryville. The practice would occupy the same building which Adolfi recently adapted into a tourist home. Counseling would not overlap with the days the house is used for overnight guests. Adolfi ran the selfsame counseling service in the same location for some years before opening the weekend tourist house. Under the zoning code, because the counseling business was operating from her residence, Adolfi needed no permit so long as she lived in the house. But making the house a business and not a personal residence changed that legal status, and now a permit is required. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approving the permit, and the Board of Zoning Appeals will make its decision on the matter next Wednesday. Zoning change request postponed Peter and Catherine Salvano wish to open an art, gift and jewelry shop at the comer of Fodderstack Road and Route 522. The Salvanos want an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance approved by the Board of Supervisors allowing this use. The planning commission first must recommend approval or denial before the supervisors make their decision. The Salvanos asked to postpone the matter until the next commission meeting because they were unable to attend. The commission discussed the matter and let the public speak at this meeting, but postponed deciding their recommendation until next month’s meeting. The proposal is recommended for approval by the County Administrator John McCarthy. But both Sheriff Larry Sherertz and the Flint Hill Fire and Rescue Squad submitted letters to the commission expressing concern about traffic safety and increased congestion. Several residents of Flint Hill, including a number of business owners, spoke against the idea too. Opponents all cited concern that the shop would generate traffic, that the fairly large sign would obscure visibility at an already dangerous intersection, and that the parking may not be sufficient. Several commissioners and citizens said they were worried about spot zoning diluting the intent of the zoning code too. Not all agreed. “The comprehensive plan says we want to concentrate commercial activity in the villages. This is an existing structure, wanting an accepted use,” commissioner Alvin Heniy offered. Discussion will resume at the next meeting, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse on October 19th. Bill Kossler can be reached at bkossler@timespapers.com

Cottage sees three generations of Batchelders Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Bill Kossler NEW SHOP: Rush River Imports is a new place to find neat things in Washington.

If we haven’t been plagued enough by the blame game that is going on in Washington, D.C., soaring gas prices, and impeding real estate reassessment, Mother Nature has dished out enough misery to last us for years to come. There’s very little uplifting news nationwide. The hurricanes have everyone scrambling to help and giving most folks a chance to relish the gift of perspective. Now, the mornings are cooler. The leaves are signaling that they are ready for new dresses - more color than shades of green. Pumpkins have emerged seemingly overnight to sprinkle bright orange dots throughout the county. Football players can see their breath. Sweaters are coming out of closets and soon we won’t be seeing anymore open-toed sandals. We’ve entered the autumn equinox and we’re about to fall into a new season. Let’s enjoy its fleeting months before winter sets in. Let’s also embrace this time of renewal - for like the leaves transforming into brilliant colors — true change comes from within. Tapping out For those of you fond of old bridges, you haven’t got long before Tapps Ford Bridge as many have known it for years, will be gone.

Photo by Jim Caannon Beyond repair? Father Joseph Trinh stands next to his devastated St. John’s Mission Church in St. Louis where Castleton resident Jim Gannon recently visited. “St. John’s appears beyond repair, but St. Ann’s, which is a bit further from the Gulf shore appears repairable even though it took in eight feet of flood water and is mud-caked inside,” said Gannon.The purpose of Gannon’s mission was to look into how St. Peter’s Catholic parish in Washington and others in the community might be able to help Fr. Trinh and his parishioners. Letters Gannon returns from the Gulf Coast This is just a short note to tell you all that we—Bill Jarrett, Dave Kerr and myself—are back from the Katrina disaster area around Waveland/Bay St. Louis, MS. The area looks like a war zone. The scope and size of the disaster cannot be captured by a TV screen - wreckage is everywere. People are dazed, depressed, desperate for help. Nearly all lost homes. A month after the storm, there is no electricity, no phones, no water to use to clean up. FEMA is just starting to reach this area. A few people have been given trailer homes, which are showing up on lots adjacent to wrecked houses. About 70 people—amazing considering their homelessness and lack of communication—showed up for an open air Mass Sunday morning at St. Ann’s Catholic church. Tears flowed as Fr. Joseph Trinh saw his people for the first time since the storm, prayed with them, comforted them. A more moving worship service cannot be imagined. Fr. Trinh allowed me about 15 minutes at the end of Mass to explain our mission to help them anyway we could. This was met with enormous appreciation and thanks. After Mass, a woman came up to Fr. Trinh. “I have bad news, Father,” she said. “My husband is dead.” Tearfully, she explained that the family survived the storm, and while she and her two children were away staying at relatives, her husband returned to their property to clear trees downed by the storm. Working alone, he was killed weilding his chainsaw, as a tree fell on him. She is now a homeless, jobless, hopeless widow with two small children and no husband, and no idea what to do. This is but a taste of the human suffering, grief, and need that we witnessed. Every family has a sad story. Yet they are resilient, hopeful, planning to J/ recover and rebuild, and they cling to their faith and community. The trip was both depressing and uplifting. God forgive me if I ever again complain about some minor inconvenience in my comfortable, secure life. These people have lost it all except faith and hope, and love for one another. We must continue to ask ourselves what we can.do for them. I welcome your thoughts and prayers. In the coming days, we will have some suggestions for action. For now, I just wanted to let you know we are back. We have many stories to tell. Jim Gannon Castleton Leadership opportunities with RappFlOW abound Would you enjoy taking more of a leadership role in our community? Are you interested in preserving and protecting our environment, watersheds, water quality, and rural way of life? RappFLOW can provide opportunities for volunteers of many different talents and interests. We are expanding our activities in the study of “People, land, and streams of the Upper Thornton River Watershed”, as well as other watersheds in Rappahannock County. Through the past three years of eager and pioneering work by citizens and land owners such as yourself, RappFLOW has attained the support of valuable partners, volunteers, county and state government agencies, and a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. It is a good time to participate in one or more of many different roles needed to achieve our mission of protecting, preserving, and restoring the watersheds and water quality in Rappahannock county. Increasingly, people from surrounding counties are also joining in our efforts. Many different talents, personalities, and interests are needed. Tasks to be done range from doing research, to record keeping, to recruiting other volunteers, to writing reports and articles, to monitoring streams and doing other field work, to contacting land owners about the work, to organizing and publicizing meetings, to analyzing water quality and land use data, to preparing presentations to small groups in subwatersheds, to maintaining email lists, to taking photos at events, to providing updates to the web site, to coordinating with partner organizations, to training others in watershed assessment and stream monitoring skills, to calling government agencies to request data, to attending workshops, and many other tasks. You can make a big difference just by contributing a couple of hours per week, on average. RappFLOW especially needs a person to coordinate the efforts of volunteers. This involves recruiting and keeping volunteers informed, assigning tasks and schedules, setting up meetings,publicizing opportunities, and so forth. An investment of about ten hours per week could make a huge difference in the quality and quantity of work that gets done and progress that is made.This is a great opportunity for you to continue developing your leadership and networking skills and to get recognition in the community for your talents and commitment. This is an opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge concerning watersheds, land use, conservation, water quality,field studies, and more. Our grant can pay for a portion of the time spent by a committed volunteer coordinator over the coming year. Please see www.rappflow.org for more information about this exciting and pioneering work. Please talk with your friends and neighbors about these opportunities. Please contact mail@rappflow.org or call Bev at 937-4744. Beverly Hunter RappFLOW Coordinator Amissville A very special thank you I want to thank all those who dropped off clothing at the Flint Hill Fire House to aid in relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Your contributions enabled us to ship over 40 boxes of needed clothing to refugees who found their way to Alabama. Special thanks to Kathie Russo, Barb Dennis and my husband for devoting extra energy to labeling, packing and shipping the items within 24 hours. Many thanks! Jeanne Kauffmann Flint Hill Weiland Johnson of Woodville is appreciated Your issue of Thursday, September 22,2005, carried a letter from Dorothy Hawkins to the editor mentioning a Mr. Johnson from Woodville who had been involved with Washington Masonic Cemetery at Washington, Virginia. It may not be known to all your readers that this hard working individual is Mr. Weiland C. Johnson from Woodville. I believe that this addition should be printed so that he gets proper recognition for his dedication to the Cemetery and the residents of Washington. As a member of the Washington Masonic Lodge # 78,1 would also like to thank Daniel Keyser of Sperryville, Shirley Berry and others for their efforts to insure with Weiland that the cemetery is something in which the town can take great pride. George F. Harington Arlington, Virginia Haught-Howard family is grateful for support The family of Genia Lynne HaughtHoward wish to thank everyone for their thoughtfulness and generosity as we cope with Genia's sudden, tragic death.

It helps a lot to know that Genia touched so many people so positively. She wgs a generous and loving woman. From your response it is obvious that the family’s loss and grief are deeply shared. Thank you one and all. The family of Gcnia Lynne Haught-Howard Amissville

Virginia Education Association endorses Jim Blubaugh Regarding his recent endorsement by the Virginia Education Association, Jim Blubaugh, Democratic candidate for the 15th District House of Delegates, commented, “I am pleased to have the support of the men and women who face educational issues everyday.” Being married to a high school teacher of many years and having put three children through the public school system, Blubaugh truly understands the issues and problems facing the public educational system. “Our children’s education is the foundation for all the progress of our community and must be made a priority. In order to foster good jobs and support our agricultural industry in our own community, we must expand our schools, including our community colleges, to teach specialized training for skills to be used in jobs in the 15th district.” “Let’s Not Pave the Shenandoah Valley” Jim Blubaugh, candidate for the 15th District House of Delegates,recently blasted the plans to turn Interstate 81 into a vast truck corridor, saying “Let’s not pave the Shenandoah Valley”. Blubaugh denounced plans to add traffic, noise and pollution, pointing out that the STAR Solutions plan is opposed with virtual unanimity from Winchester to Bristol. “It is clearly a plan to provide a truck alternative to 1-95, and it would forever change the Valley,” said Blubaugh. Noting that the plan calls for 20-foot high sound walls in places, Blubaugh asked, “Is this all that we can come up with - more and more highway construction?” The STAR Jim Blubaugh Democratic candidate 15th District House of Delegates plan would make 1-81 more than eight lanes, twelve in parts, with half dedicated to trucks. The impact will be devastating to the areas directly near 1-81 but also the surrounding areas. Specifically, the volume of truck traffic that will divert onto US 11 and US 211 is estimated to drastically increase. Blubaugh added, “The idea should not be to make it merely more attractive to larger and larger trucks going faster and faster, but to make the highway more effective and less damaging to the environment. While we must make upgrades for safety purposes, we certainly don’t need to expand the entire highway into a truck behemoth.” Blubaugh also announced support for consideration of freight railway alternatives. The rail option, said Blubaugh, offers more opportunities for jobs for Virginia’s men and women, far less pol Council From Page A1 Washington’s Rural Preservation Area. As in past meetings, the largest area of concern was the extension of town sewer services. The most noticeable feature of this draft of the plan is the expanded role of “special use permits” which would be granted to potential town sewer customers on an individual basis by the Town Council, depending on the circumstances of the applicant. The increased role of special use permits is characteristic of a trend towards increased flexibility for the town in this draft of the comprehensive plan. Similar changes reinforce this flexibility, with new language allowing the town to increase the current 60,000 gallon capacity of the treatment system “if it deems it netessary ..and even to revise the new comprehensive plan early if needed. So you want a sewer The new draft of the plan retains the concept of prioritizing sewer service according to Washington’s zoning. Landowners would be provided with town wastewater service based on this hierarchy, similar to the previous draft of the comprehensive plan: 1. Failing Sewer and Septic systems regardless of location. 2. Existing structures within the Primary Service Area 3. Areas of Government use regardless of location. 4. Existing structures in the Secondary Service area.(if there is capacity available, including enough capacity in reserve to provide for new development in the Primary Service area.) 5. Undeveloped property in the Secondary Service Areas. Existing structures within the town limits, called the Primary Service Area (PSA), would get service first. Structures in the outlying areas of town, the Secondary Service area, zoned Rural Residential (SSA)would only get service after the existing structures in the PSA had been provided for, and then only if the Town Council determined there was enough capacity to provide for future “infill” development in the PSA.

Our entire transport system in this country relies on trucks and a handful of key highways. This leaves us vulnerable. For the sake of our national security, I would like to see a healthy, operating railway system in place.” “We can find solutions to the problems of transportation that do not challenge our rural heritage.” Blubaugh went on, “That is why I support greater law enforcement, widening for safety, more funding for safer on and off ramps, and alternative transportation.” “We have a beautiful Valley”, the Candidate said, “one that is known around the world and celebrated in song. We will never have enough money to restore it once we have destroyed this breathtakingly lovely place. Let’s keep it the way God gave it to us.” Gilbert reacts to VEA endorsement of Blubaugh Republican House of Delegates candidate Todd Gilbert today expressed his regret that the Virginia Education Association, a teachers’ union, decided to endorse his opponent, Jim Blubaugh. Gilbert gave the following statement: “It comes as no surprise that a teachers’ union chose to endorse a big-govemment Democrat. Very early in this election cycle, the VEA endorsed the entire Democrat state ticket. Education has always been an important part of my life. I am the son of a public school teacher of nearly thirty years. While working my way through college and law school, I spent countless days as a substitute teacher in our local public schools and went on to teach in Virginia’s community college system. I think it is sad that you have to be part of the Todd Gilbert Republican candidate 15th District House of Delegates tax-and-spend crowd to be perceived by the teachers’ unions as caring about education. I believe that our schools have to be accountable for the progress they make in educating our children. I join fellow conservatives who have stated for years that our tax dollars should be spent where they do the most good—in the classroom. Massive education bureaucracies in Washington and Richmond do little to help any child learn how to read. We should dedicate ourselves to spending our tax dollars on initiatives that will attract and retain qualified teachers while maintaining accountability to parents and to the taxpayer. The VEA hardly represents the political views of every teacher in Virginia or this district. I am proud to have the support of many teachers, both current and retired, whose years in the classroom have shown them that is where our precious tax dollars belong.” SAVE FRIDAY-SUNDAY!

Two Rappahannock Comity WCDS students earn AP scholar distinction This week, officials at Wakefield Country Day School were notified by the College Board that ten of their students had earned the distinction of being named AP Scholars in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advance Placement (AP) Program Exams. Approximately 18 percent of the more than one million high school students worldwide who took the AP Exams performed at a level high enough to merit recognition as an AP Scholar. Two of the students are Rappahannock County residents: Paul Beattie of Woodville is an AP Scholar with Distinction, having earned an average grade of 3.5 or higher (the maximum score is a 5) on all exams taken, and a grade of Paul Beattie Allison Russo at least 3 on five or more of these exams. Most recently, Paul scored a 4 on English Language and Composition, and a 4 on English Literature and Composition. Allison Russo of Flint Hill was named an AP Scholar, a designation given to students who have received grades of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams. Allison most recently scored a 4 in English Language and Composition, with previous scores of 4 in U.S. History and a 4 in U.S. Government. Caroline Marschner of Front Royal and Danielle Dombrowski of Rileyville were named AP Scholars with Honor, having earned a grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and a grade of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. Six other students were named AP Scholars: Kathleen Doss, Jessica Parker, Briana Stone, and Alec Toth of Front Royal, Aaron Marx of Strasburg, and James Nilan of Warrenton. Based on successful performance on the AP Exams, most colleges and universities in the United States award credit, advanced placement or both, and more than 1,400 institutions award a full year’s credit to students who earn a sufficient number of qualifying grades. News from Lynchburg College Richard “Ted “ Johanson, son of Dr. Richard and M. Page Johanson of Flint Hill, has been selected as a second year Connection Leader at Lynchburg College, a private college in central Virginia enrolling 2,350 students in professional, liberal arts and sciences, and graduate studies.

Wakefield Country Day School news At this week’s assembly at Wakefield Country Day School, there was a special presentation given on the Great 100 Historical Figures - a long-standing tradition at WCDS and an integral part of the school’s curriculum. Mrs. Lynn-Tucker, co-founder of the school and currently one of the WCDS history teachers., explained the idea behind the sequential study that takes place in grades four through twelve of 100 significant figures throughout history. The power-point presentation included a timeline, photographs and other graphics to help illustrate to the many new students the value and importance of studying historical events, and their interrelation with other parts of Wakefield’s curriculum, particularly in literature and science. The men and women on the list span 4,000 years, beginning with 2000 BC, and include the Ancient Egyptians, noted figures from the Greek and Roman Empires, the Barbarians, and also encompass the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the French and American Revolutions, up through the Industrial Revolution and ending with World War II. Head of School Kathleen Grove noted at the conclusion of the presentation how often graduates of WCDS have commented on the fact that their knowledge of historical figures has been a tremendous asset in their college studies.

The Artists of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Tour Autumn’s paint brush is beginning to color Rappahannock County to create the awe-inspiring annual masterpiece that we have all come to know and love. Just as nature prepares its masterpiece, the artists of Rappahannock County, in association with the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), and a dedicated crew of volunteers, are preparing for the unveiling of the masterpiece of all art events: The Artists of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Ibur November 5&6. This first of what is planned to be an annual event, the Artists of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Tbur, seems a “natural” fit for a county brimming with so many nationally and internationally known artists. The weekend event will consist of open artists’ studios and galleries throughout the county, and a juried Group Show exhibit at the Washington Fire Hall. The self-guided tour will begin at the Fire Hall where visitors will receive a map directing them to the various art studio and gallery destinations. The jurors, Merry Foresta and Andy Grundberg, have judged many nationally recognized art shows. Foresta is currently a consultant working with the Smithsonian on a major photography project and is liie former curator of photography at the Museum of American Art. Grundberg is the head of the photography department at the Corcoran Art Gallery. Both Foresta and Grundberg reside in Washington, DC full time and spend weekends in and around Rappahannock County. “The ‘palette’ of artists and galleries participating in this tour is so impressive and diverse,” exclaims Claudia Mitchell, President of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. “It amazes me that these are my neighbors here in the county. I regularly bump into them at the Farmers Co-Op and the post office. The level of professional ism is so great, and orchestrated by so many people! We even have a new Artists of Rappahannock logo thanks to local photographers Jane and Luke Wilson, a mother and son team who took the photo that is used for the logo. This logo will be our signature for this event for years to come. Well have commemorative t-shirts and tote bags for sale with the Artists of Rappahannock logo during and after the art festival.” Here is the list of artist studio and gallery participants: Open studios include: Jeanne Drevas (fiber sculpture, pottery); Sandra Forbush (portrait painter); Benita Gowen (watercolor painter); Lynne Homing (pottery/kiln); Nancy Keyser (landscape painter); Ann Georgia McCaffray (painter'; Lois Manookian (rural landscape painter); Nol Putnam (blacksmith, hot-forged iron work); Robin Purnell (realism painter); Stephen R. Wagner (illustrator); Linda and Leanna Witt of Misty Mountain Farm (spinning, weaving).

Council From Page A5 Special use These changes give the council increased flexibility within this priority list through the use of special use permits. In the new draft, the council could grant sewer service to properties in the SSA by awarding the applicant a special use permit, regardless of where a particular applicant stands in the priority list. The granting of a special use permit would be up to the Town Council’s discretion, although language in the new draft of the plan urges that they extend service to the SSA if it “better achieves the goals of the Plan.” We re not shutting the door completely,” explained Planning Commission Chairman Gary Schwartz. This increased flexibility could allow the council to alleviate concerns froip property owners near the borders of town, concerns which were raised at the meeting by the public. “We think its important to include businesses that people think of as being part of the town, no matter where they are,” said John MacPherson, owner of the Foster Harris House. MacPherson was speaking about the Middleton Inn, a prominent Washington bed and breakfast which sits just outside the PSA. The new draft would allow the council to approve sewer service for places like the Middleton Inn without weakening the entire comprehensive plan. “That is win-win for the town,citizens, and everyone.” said Schwartz. Power struggle Audiences at the comprehensive plan joint meetings have grown as the town nears a vote, and some of the public were concerned that the newest draft puts too much power into the hands of the Town Council. “It’s purely discretionary upon whoever is sitting on the other side of that table,” said Washington resident Jeff Franzen, gesturing at the Town Council. Some residents of Washington were concerned because while the plan allows the council to grant special use permits, it does not require them to, and landowners do not have a specific right to be considered for special use permits. “Special use permits will turn on the the strength of the project.” said Town Attorney John Bennett. “The special use permits are fairly arbitrary,” said Franzen. The town will hold the final public forum on the Comprehensive Plan on October 24.

Police and Court Briefs Identity theft The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department has become aware of possible scam artists operating in the county. On September 19, a complainant informed RCSD Deputy Breeden that two adult Caucasian men had come to his house on Ben Venue road and asked for his social security number. The men told the complainant that with his social security number they could arrange for him to receive a check for $80 a month. The men asked several questions concerning the dimensions of the complainant’s house. The men also offered the complainant a free rug and a free checkup from a nurse. The complainant refused all offers. After the men left, the complainant realized that approximately MUU was missing from his wallet. Madison County has reported a similar case. “Banks don’t do business like that,” advised Sheriff Larry Sherertz. “Under no circumstances give up personal information to unsolicited callers. This thing is still active,” added the sheriff. Edwards sentencing continued The Fauquier County sentencing of Waymond James Edwards Jr. for Taking Indecent Liberties with a Minor in a Supervisory Relationship has been continued until October 11. Edwards go to trial on similar charges in Rappahannock County in late October. The charges are related to events alleged to have occurred while Edwards was a basketball coach at Wakefield Country Day School. Shocking theft September 16, Friday. Workmen entered a home on Bear Wallow road in Flint Hill to do electrical work. After the workers left, the homeowners discovered that two expensive custom made rings were missing. Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Deputy Lieutenant Connie Smith investigated, and on Wednesday September 21 charged 37-year-old Victor Tomlin, of Bealeton, with Grand Larceny. “She did an outstanding job,” said Sheriff Larry Sherertz. Motoring misadventures 3:30 p.m. September 21, Wednesday. Charles Ross, 47, of Charlottesville, Va was driving south on Rt 522 in his 2001 Mazda when he observed a 2001 Buick heading north in the opposite lane run off the side of the road. After leaving the road, the Buick, driven by 73-year-old Thomas Canty of Warren, NJ, over corrected and swerved back across the center line, striking Ross’ Mazda. Both vehicles then lost control and ran off the road before coming to a stop, with Canty’s vehicle eventually striking a fence. Canty’s Buick sustained an estimated $7,000 in damages, while Ross’ Mazda sustained $1,000. Neither driver received serious injuries, and Canty was charged with failure to drive in the correct lane by Trooper CarrieAnne Corbett. 5:05 p.m. September 23, Friday. Forty-eight-yearold Santos Guevara, of Flint Hill, was driving south on Tiger Valley Road in his 1984 Chevrolet pickup truck when he spotted a tree branch fallen across the road. Guevara swerved to avoid the branch and lost control of his vehicle. His truck ran off the right shoulder of the road and struck a tree before overturning onto its right side. Guevara was not injured, but his vehicle sustained $3,000 in damages. 10:30 a.m. September 24, Saturday. Beatrice Meredith, 45, of Woodville was driving north on Yancy Road in the vicinity of Rt 522 with one passenger, 20-yearold Jessica Keck. As they approached a curve in a 1997 Mercury four-door, Meredith lost control of her vehicle running off the road and striking several trees. Meredith and Keck both sustained minor injuries. Meredith was charged with reckless driving by Trooper Don Corbin.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s. Fire Administration’s Assistance for Firefighters Grant Program has awarded $333,193 to local Virginia Fire Departments. U.S. Senator George Allen (RVA) recently announced the federal grants. “Improving the safety and security of Virginians and our communities is one of my top priorities. By enhancing the training and support of our emergency crews, we are making great strides in this irapor tant mission,” said Senator Allen. “I am pleased that Virginia’s firefighters will be better equipped and prepared. Our communities will be safer because of this assistance.” The Assistance for Firefighters Grant Program is administered by the U.S. Fire Administration and assists rural, urban and suburban fire departments throughout the United States. These funds are used by the nation’s firefighters to increase the effectiveness of firefighting operations and for firefighter health and safety programs, new fire equipment, emergency medical service programs, and fire prevention and safety pro grams. At Amissville, the grant will pay for emergency breathing apparatus that will protect AVFRC personnel working in situations were it might be hazardous to breathe. “This is equipment that we could use on a structure fire or something similar,” said AVFRC Chief J.B. Carter. The AVFRC put in for the grant last year. “It’s a competitive grant based on need. We got it because we needed equipment to protect firefighters, and that’s given a higher priority,” explained Carter.A similar grant awarded in 2003 paid for the AVFRC’s newest fire truck. Rappahannock Relief for Hurricane Katrina victims Rappahannock National Bank partners with local American Red Cross President Mike Leake agreed to match, dollar for dollar, all contributions made by its employees and directors to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief due to devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina to the Gulf Coast region of the US. The bank gladly donated a check in the amount of $2,020 to Board Chairman Bill Hicks of the American Red Cross Fauquier which serves Rappahannock County. “I appreciate the generosity of our employees and directors which enabled us to donate $2,020 to our local chapter of the American Red Cross. The bank matched, dollar for dollar, all contributions made by our employees and directors. This will enable our local chapter to fund their volunteers that are in Gulf Coast region assisting in the recovery efforts caused by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, said Leake. The Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross provides assistance for fires, tornados, and any other disaster that may occur in both counties. Their mission is to provide shelter and food whenever necessary in cases of emergencies.

Getting rich off inventory Sooner or later it had to happen. The gas prices are pretty awful and nearly everybody has to get in their two cents’ worth. Even ine. Here’s a bit of food for thought. I have friend who is practically addicted to the stock market and the little tickers that some of the business channels run across the bottom of your TV screen. I find them a nuisance and an intrusion into that time that I have already set aside to waste watching TV. But, he thinks they are wonderful. To each his own, I guess. Anyway, he tells a story something like this: If you hear in the morning that a barrel of crude oil has increased in price by a dollar overnight, or if there is the threat of another hurricane in the Gulf, by the time you get to the filling station, the price of gas will have gone up. If you happened to have studied business management, you know that the value of your inventory fluctuates over time. Not so much if your inventory is in hog bellies, but often, a considerable swing it your inventory happens vo be automotive gasoline. And, of course, it matters not a whit what you paid for the goods in your inventory. But, if you have 20,000 gallons of gasoline in the ground, and, when you bought it, you could sell it at a reasonable profit for $2.39 a gallon, and then the price goes up to $3.39 a gallon, you just made $20,000.00 ‘extra’ profit as a result of the increase in the sale price. All perfectly legal. It causes a bit of consternation and hand wringing among the general public and the politicians, but that blows over pretty quickly. However, if you have 500,000 gallons of gasoline in tanks at the distribution center, and the price goes up $1.00 per gallon, well, you just made a cool half million dollars additional profit. Perhaps that is why, in this time of scarce gas, we are told, ExxonMobil reported the highest earnings per quarter, ever. Now, let’s see, the gas is scarce, and you report the Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com highest earnings per quarter, ever. Is that right? Maybe it’s just the American way, and right or wrong has nothing to do with it. Maybe. Now, back to my friend who watches the stock market ticker. As I mentioned, he says that when crude oil goes up, or when there is threat to the oil supply, whether from OPEC or from a storm in the vicinity of well heads or refineries, that the gas price you pay will go up before you can get in your jitney and get to the pump. I think we all know that. More importantly, he also posits that from a rough graph he has made of the change in crude oil prices, overlaid with the retail price of automotive gasoline, that these two track hand in hand when the crude oil prices are increasing, but, when crude oil prices come down, amazingly, there is a lag in the fall of the retail prices to match the fall in the price of crude. I wonder if that is true. If it is true, I wonder why it is true. Could it be that there is some hesitancy, somewhere in the’chain, to lower the value of the inventory when the price of crude oil goes down? Could it be that the owners of inventory, at different points along the supply line, do not use the same dispatch to lower the price as they do to increase the price? That’s possible, I guess. Maybe it’s just human nature. Maybe all businesses want their inventory sold at the highest price possible As for me, I tend to lean somewhat more toward the theory of connectiveness when it comes to gasoline. This theory maintains that all things are connected, and everything impacts everything else. In the gasoline world, it goes something like this: In the jungles of Venezuela, an OPEC country, you will recall, there is a monarch butterfly. If that butterfly passes gas, the price of crude oil goes up, and there go the gas prices. It is about as understandable as anything else I’ve heard on gas prices. Gone forever, the old Viscose I was over at the Avtex site last week, when they blew up, blew in, and imploded the last remaining structure of the old Viscose plant. Saw some old friends there, including Frank Wolf, Manuel Pullen, Arland Welch and others., Met a nice fellow by the name of John Henry Ramey, who told me had worked at the plant for many years. As the day grew hotter and the political speeches dragged on, John Henry opined that if the politicians speechified any longer the dang building would fall down of its own accord. . The power house they were imploding looked to be a three story affair. After the second set of charges went off, the top floor crumbled, but the other two appeared, at least from my vantage point, to still be standing. Maybe everything went just as planned, but I thought that perhaps it was the spirit of all those who had worked there over the years, just refusing to give up and give in. • , Visit with the seniors Had a nice visit with the Rappahannock Senior Citizens a week or so ago. Enjoyed some fellowship, a bit of music, and some delicious deserts. Mabel Lillard was visiting from her new digs in Front Royal, and the mayor of Pullentown, Alice Pullen, was doing a mean job of keeping rhythm to the music with two plastic eggs with rice in them. Way to go, Alice! Until next time, do your best rain dance, and keep your gas tank full. Then, when (not if) the price of gas goes up, you can share in the wealth generated by the increasing value of your inventory. Salem Pickin Party to celebrate 10th anniversary The Singing and Pickin party held monthly at Salem Fire Hall on Route 522, will be celebrating their 10th anniversary on Friday, Sept. 30 from 6-10 p.m. The first party was held at New Salem Baptist Church with six people featured.

Famous in Rappahannock A portrait of Loring Anderson, local farmer and “snake catcher” done by Rappahannock artist Robin B. Purnall has been selected to hang in the U. S. Embassy . in Panama for three years. The new ambassador to Panama, Bill Eaton, specifically requested the work of Ms. Purnall having known her and her work since 1984, when they were both living in Moscow during the Cold War.

According to some accounts, the new structure was built in the shape of a cross. This building was enlarged in 1833 to make room for the church’s congregation, which had grown to almost 250 members. After the Civil War, the church fell into disrepair and its upkeep was beyond the financial means of the congregation. The building was finally torn down. By 1884, however, the church’s fortunes had turned around, and the minutes of the Shiloh Association mention that the F.T. Valley Baptist congregation had nearly completed their new house of worship. The new church’s pews were formed from one poplar tree, which was carried to the lumber mill by Charles S. Mitchell. Joseph Lewis Yowell donated the walnut wood which became the new church’s Duloit and pedestals. The new addition added something that F. T. Baptist had lacked for 210 years, bathrooms. The congregation’s new home also included a nursery, a kitchen, a storage and utility room, a fellowship hall and a central foyer connecting the old and new sections of the church. Most of the labor and equipment used in the improvements were contributed by members of the church, most of whom were farmers. Through the years, this church has played an important role in the social and spiritual life of Rappahannock citizens. F. T. Baptist is noted not only for her history and meeting house but also for her friendly members. There are approximately 70 active members with Rev. Daniel Yowell as their minister. A Sunday School program, a youth group and an adult choir are all part of the church and its ministry. Everyone is welcome.

Restored bungalow on Fall Tour By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News If you plan on restoring a vintage home, or are considering buying one, •> or if you just love old houses, you will ’ love Sid and Mary Catherine Worley’s • house in Flint Hill. It is one of three unique homes chosen for the 49th annual “Dried Flower Sale and House 'Ibur* scheduled for Saturday, October 15 and Sunday, October 16. The churchwomen of Trinity Episcopal Church in Little Washington sponsor the popular annual event that attracts visitors from near and far in the fall. The Worley home is a restored American bungalow of the “Roaring 20s” era with many style elements of the popular “Craftsman” house. Distinguished by its early 20th century architecture, but even more for its interior restoration and furnishings where each antique and work of art is more interesting than the one before, the Worley home offers visitors an authentic peek back in time. Unlike many older houses in the village, this unique dwelling stands some distance from the road, providing a large front yard and trees that frame the simple gable-roofed structure with its gracious front porch spanning the full width of the house. Upstairs, the house offer? a panoramic view of “The Peak” and the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. Reflecting the fashion of the times, the Worley house features large rooms, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, French doors, built-in cabinets, bookcases flanking the stone fireplace in the living room, and stained glass window hangings. Built on a stone foundation, the house stands out with its deep front porch—ideal for watching parades sitting on white wooden rocking chairs. Larger than it seems, the CRAFTSMAN: Above, the Worley house is a distinctive 1920s bungalow located in Flint Hill. REFLECTIONS: Left, there are many stained glass window hangings throughout the Wodey house. ELEGANT: Right, French doors open to the Worley’s dining room enhanced by period furniture. All photos by Richard Lykes multi-level house actually has three bedrooms and two baths, and a number of other rooms as well. Downstairs, in addition to the spacious living and dining rooms, there is a comfortable study as well as a guest bedroom and bath, a large eat-in kitchen, a laundry room, and a breakfast room with French doors leading out to a rear patio and terraced garden. One oustanding feature of the house is a gently inclining stairway that makes climbing to the second floor a joy. On the second floor, there is a guest bedroom and a master bedroom with its own sitting room. The Worleys also added a new bath with touches of the 20s in its large claw-foot tub but also with a large, modem tiled shower. Restoration project “It was a perfectly fine home,” explained Mary Catherine Worley. “We simply wanted to restore the lovely old house to its original style and update its electrical and plumbing systems, See TOUR, Page B7 Middle Street Gallery features Etlan printmaker and Sperryville artist , Photo courtesy of Packing Shed Gallery Above: “Popham Run below Old Rag Mt., May 23, 2005, 8:10 p.m;” Tucker Hill; Monotype; Printed on June 15, 2005 Left: “The Passageway;” June Jordan; Oil on canvas The Middle Street Gallery’s October show, “Outdoors & Indoors,” presents two very different artistic approaches to realism through the work of artist members TVicker Hill and June Jordan. Hill’s very small sepia monotype prints present the sweeping expanse of Madison County’s great river valleys at dusk, this summer’s extensive rains throwing up clouds of vapor into the evening light. In contrast, Jordan’s large colorful canvases depict the airy confines of interior rooms and hallways, daylight reflecting off of polished floors, doorways, passing through glass paned, doors and windows. “Outdoors & Indoors” will show at Middle Street Gallery in “Little” Washington, Virginia, from Friday, Sept. 30 through Sunday, Oct. 30 with an artists’ reception on Sunday, Oct. 2 from 2-6 p.m. June Jordan lives in Sperryville and is director of The Packing Shed Gallery. She has a BFA and MFA from the University of Georgia with a major in Ceramics. Between early years of being a professional potter, she taught three years at the University of West Florida. She gravitated from pottery to painting in the late 19.80s, studying See GALLERY, Page B7 Come to Bollywood! ‘Bride and Prejudice’ is a hilarious, romantic film By Joanne Hilty Special to the Rappahannock News “Bride and Prejudice,” a Bollywood musical from Director Gurinder Chadha (“Bend It Like Beckham”) is a bright, colorful and exhilarating romantic comedy. It’s an American/ British coproduction using many top Indian actors and the style is heavily influenced by the Bollywood approach famous for lavish musical numbers. Brought to you by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, the film is showing at the Theatre on Gay Street, Washington, VA, October 7, 8:00 p.m. Prior to the showing, all RAAC members are invited to the Membership Party at Sunnyside Square Terrace, also on Gay Street, from 6:00-7:30 p.m. If you are not a member, you may renew or join anew at the party. The story is influenced by Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” In this case, culture replaces class, but most of the essential story elements remain the same. The main plot focuses on the relationship between wealthy workaholic Will Darcy (Martin Henderson) and Lalita Bakshi (the “Elizabeth Bennett” role, played by Aishwaiya Rai), the second daughter of a middleclass Indian couple. When Darcy arrives in Lalita’s hometown of Amritsar, it’s contempt at -first sight, but as these two mismatched individuals get to know one another, love blooms. There are plenty of complications, not the least of which are Lalita’s pride and Darcy’s prejudice. There are also subplots: the romance between Lalita’s older sister, Jaya (Namrata Shirodkar), and Darcy’s best friend, Balraj Bingley (Naveen Andrews); the unwelcome advances towards Lalita by Mr.Kholi (Nitin Chandra Ganatra); and the more welcome attentions of Johnny Wichham (Daniel Gillies). For former Miss World-tumedBollywood actress Aishwarya Rai, this represents a first foray into American theaters. Rai has been described in some comers as “the most beautiful woman in the world.” She exudes the grace and ease of a woman who knows Brought to you by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, ‘Bride and Prejudice’ is showing at the Theatre on Gay Street, Washington, VA, October 7, 8:00 p.m. she is fun to look at and be around, not the seriousness of a woman who thinks she is being sexy. In this first Englishspeaking role, she proves she has talent to match her beauty. Will Darcy (Martin Henderson) is a rich young New York hotel man, visiting India because his old friend from London, Balraj (Naveen Andrews) is the best man at a wedding. TheBakshi family is friendly with the family of the See MOVIE, Page B2 ‘Brilliance of the Baroque’ is the theme of Smithsonian Chamber Players By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, October 8 at 8:00 p.m. at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia, the “Smithsonian at Little Washington” series, now in its fourteenth year, presents the Smithsonian Consort of Viols in a program of 17th-century English instrumental music spanning from the end of the reign of Elizabeth I to the time of Charles II. This period of British history was particularly eventful, marked as it was by the execution of Charles I in 1649, the 21-year interregnum period which followed, and the restoration of Charles II as King of England in 1660. Under Elizabeth, James,I, and Charles I, the art of playing chamber music on sets, or consorts, of viols was cultivated to a very high degree. The program for October 8 includes music for consorts of viols by William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Lupo, Thomas Tomkins, Matthew Locke, and Henry Purcell. If all but the last of these names are rather unfamiliar, it is only because Photo courtesy ot The Theatre Kenneth Slowik Treble Viol Artistic Director Chamber Music Program I • viol consort music is heard so infrequently.

Newman on her Salamander Farm last Saturday. The wedding was held in an extraordinary coun try chapel especially built just for the occasion within the farm’s indoor riding arena. It was for the day believed to be the largest church in Fauquier or Loudoun county history. The remarkable event was done by international wedding planner Preston Bailey who most recently did the marriage of Donald Trump in Palm Beach. Among some 700 guests were Middleburg Mayor Tim Demos, Virginia Governor Mark Warner and Lt. Governor Tim Kaine. Grammy nominee Patti Austin serenaded the couple at dinner with Cole Porter’s “True Love.” They plan to live between Salamander Farm and Judge Newman’s Arlington home. Religious Notes brance will be held from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. in the church sanctuary. There will be a covered dish meal to follow the service. Everyone is invited to attend.

A Kids’ Community Katherine L. Mason and Justin G. May Mason-May ceremony set for Nov. 12 Katherine L. Mason and Justin G. May, both of Midlothian, have made plans for a Nov. 12 wedding in the Church of the Epiphany in Richmond. The bride’s parents are Thomas Rhea Mason of Midlothian and the late Cheryl Magrini Mason. A 2002 graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a bachelor’s degree, she is an account manager for Bionicare Medical Tecnologies. The groom’s parents are Mitchell L. and Lauren D. May of Washington, Va. A 1994 graduate of Fauquier High School, he went on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from Virginia Military Institute in 1998. He is a recruitment manager for MeadWestvaco in. Richmond. Movie From Page B1 bride and Mrs. Bakshi (Nadira Babbar) hopes her four daughters can meet eligible husbands at the event. That strategy works immediately for Balraj and Jaya Bakshi (Namrata Shirodkar), Lalita’s older sister. For them it’s love at first sight. For Darcy and Lahta, it’s not. Darcy makes tactless remarks, disagrees with the custom of arranged marriages, is distracted by business, and creates the possibility that Lalita may have to follow her mother’s instructions and marry Hollywood mogul Mr. Kholi (Nitin Chandra Ganatra). “Bride and Prejudice” is a vivacious adaptation of a classic. The colorful costumes light up the screen and the musical numbers are catchy and well-placed. It’s an adorable and sweet comedy that will keep you engaged. Rated PG-13 with some sexual references, run time is 111 minutes. Music From page 31 of a cerebral beauty that makes this repertory one of the real “discoveries” of the Smithsonian’s “Brilliance of the Baroque” series at The Theatre. The viols differ from violinfamily instruments in having six or seven strings rather than , four, having frets, like a guitar, on the fingerboard, and being played with the bow held in an underhand, rather than overhand, grip. Viols were often decorated with various inlaid patterns and provided with a decorative scroll. The Smithsonian Consort of Viols is led by Kenneth Slowik, artistic director of the Chamber Music Program at the National Museum of American History. He is a founding member of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, the Axelrod and Smithson quartets, the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra, and the Castle Trio, appears frequently with L’Archibudelli, and has been a soloist with numerous orchestras, including the National Symphony. For this performance at the Theatre Kenneth Slowik will play treble viol, Jonathan Manson will play tenor viol, and Craig Trompeter, bass viol.

Consumers want to compare prices and services so that they can rest assured that all the right choices have been made. The death of a loved one is far more stressful for surviving family members if little or no advanced thought has been given to funeral arrangements. Without them, family members may wonder if the deceased wanted a traditional funeral with a burial, or a cremation service with scattered ashes. What music should be played? Where should the service be held? Who should preside? Funeral preplanning holds the answers to these and other important questions. Prearrangements offer the client a great deal of freedom in determining his or her funeral plans.

Tour From Page B1 add air conditioning, and install insulation to make it energy efficient. We also added a new bath and completely redid the kitchen and put in a central vacuum system.” In the process of the Worley s restoration project, the decor, but not the character, of the house gradually changed to reflect the taste of the new owners. The Worleys have taken their time meticulously searching and shopping for just the right items to not only reflect the history of their home but to reflect their own personalities as well. This entailed many hours on the internet for Sid and Mary Catherine, as well as scores of trips to auctions and antique shops. Much of the research was done online as the couple tenaciously looked for just the right light fixtures, just the proper material for the kitchen’s tin ceiling, or the most appropriate fabrics and colors. “We wanted to keep the integrity of the original house but bring it up-to date in a way that respected its heritage. It is a craftsman-style bungalow of the 20s and that is what we’ve sought to restore. And besides, we like antiques, especially those of the early 20th century and the Roaring 20s,” said Mary Catherine Worley. The Worley’s vision for the interior of the house extended to the outside as well. In keeping with the character of the house, they created a new side porch with a striking pergola for their side entrance that looks like it was part of the original house. Their good friend, Buddy Darden, an architect from Flint Hill, designed the pergola. Off the breakfast room at the rear of the house, the Worley’s built a new terraced garden with a stone patio that offers a quiet sanctuary for spending pleasant evenings ait outdoor cookouts. Maiy Catherine is an avid gardener and helped plant new trees and shrubs to compliment the spacious yard and flower gardens. Highlights of the tour Green is the Worley’s favorite color and each room is a variation of that hue. The rooms flow gently one to another each designed to complement each othe^ and yet each with their own unif ue character. 'rheir eclectic antiques and furnishings also stand out where every item in the house has been carefully selected to fit the decor and ambience they sought to recreate. This dedication to “restoration” and not “remodeling” makes the Worley house a very special place. Antique lovers will be interested in Sid Worley’s large collection of old clocks as well as paintings and memorabilia from Mary Catherine Worley’s life as a rider, trainer, and owner of race horses. There is even an antique silver set inherited from Mary Catherine’s South Carolina family, saved from an old plantation home near Charleston where it was buried during the Civil War to avoid being stolen by looters. Victorian and Early American antiques are found throughout the house. Among the more notable are: • an American Empire plantation desk with burl walnut in the living room; • an elaborate antique crystal chandelier in the dining room; 8 various chests and mirrors purchased at the Avon Hall auction in Little Washington; • an old copy of Rembrandt's ‘.'Girl with a Broom" (dated 1840 on back of canvas); and • a Seth Thomas grandfather's clock with wood movements at the head of stairs, personally made and signed by the wel'-known clock maker dating 'to 1813. Historically speaking, for more than 40 years, this distinctive property was known as the “Brady House,” its previous owners being the Moffett H. Brady family from whom it was purchased by the Worley’s two years ago. Built in 1920 by Dr. L. C. Haynes, the house had a succession of owners, including Otto Gilbert and the Nicholson family. The Dried Flower Sale and House Tour is scheduled for Saturday, October 15 from 11: 00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 16 from 1.00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tea will be served in the afternoon both days from 2:00 until 5 p.m. at the Middleton Inn in Little Washington.
