Town gets first draft of new guidelines By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The initial draft of what will become Washington's new Historic District Design Guidelines was unveiled by Cheryl Shepherd of Millennium Preservation Services at a joint meeting of the Washington Tbwn Council, the Tbwn Planning Commission, and the Architectural Review Board on Thursday October 13. Along with the new guidelines, Washington will be adopting a new Historic District Ordinance that uses the guidelines to support decisions that affect the historic appear ance of Washington. • “The guidelines will build on information gathered in an inventory of historic sites, not eliminate judgment. We need to have a framework for the new ordinance,” explained Warrenton attorney Hank Day, who addressed the council concerning the proposed ordinance.

The new fee is an interim measure, designed to be applied to in-town tap requests only until the town planning commission recommends a permanent fee for adoption by the town council. “It will cover us in the interim,” said Washington Mayor Eugene Leggett. The fee for a new tap hook-up in Little Washington was previously $1,000, but this number was low compared to surrounding towns. Culpeper has charged new tap hookups $5,000 for several years. The interim tap fee approved by the council on Wednesday is meant to cover the town's cost of installing the new tap as well as represent the new I I Meetings & Notices •The regular monthly meeting of the Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Watershed (RappFLOW) will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday October 20 at the county library.

Town From Page A1 the Architectural Review Board a concrete basis for approving . or denying proposed construction projects in the town. The draft of the guidelines presented Thursday is only the initial version, and along with the new Historic District Ordinance will be subject to changes dictated by an upcoming series of joint meetings and work sessions between the three bodies, along with periodic public forums in a format similar to the way Washington has been drafting a new comprehensive plan. “It s at minimum a several month process,” predicted Town Attorney John Bennett. Historic district guidelines The initial draft of Washington's historic district guidelines reads more like an in depth travel guide to Washington or a back issue of Architectural Digest than it does a set of building rules. The bulk of the proposed guidelines is an inventory of recognized architectural styles, such as Italianate or Ranch, and examples of these styles within the Town of Washington, including color photographs. For example, Avon Hall is listed as an example of Colonial Revival style, and the guidelines give a short history of the building and go on to list the Colonial Revival characteristics of Avon Hall. Most of Washington is listed in the guidelines in this way with varying degrees of detail. This inventory of the town is intended to provide a context for decisions made by future Architectural Review Boards, and could function as evidence in any ARB-related court cases. “You refer to the inventory in your review, and it gives you an extra edge of documentation,” explained Shepherd, speaking to the assembled members of town government. Non-syntjietic • ^ Following the inv'efltorjrof' Washington s historic buildings is the real substance of the guidelines, the actual rules governing what types of construction will be acceptable under the new ordinance. In their broad requirements, the new guidelines are very similar to the old ones. Generally, they emphasize the use of traditional building materials over synthetic ,urge property owners not to obscure historic characteristic of their buildings, and emphasise keeping historic buildings in good condition. The difference between these guidelines and those currently used by the Architectural Review Board is their specificity. For example, there is a section of this draft of the Historic District Guidelines concerning stucco. The guidelines not only explain the undesirable properties of synthetic stucco' substitute “Dryit” but gives a brief history of the substance's manufacture and composition. It is clear that specificity is the focus of this initial draft, intended to assist town government in making decisions that have a clearly defined foundation in the law. “These guidelines aren't more restrictive, they are more specific about what the ARB is supposed to do,” said Town. Administrator John McCarthy. Ed Barton, Chairman of the ARB, disagrees. Barton pointed out at the meeting that Washington's ARB is already viewed as too restrictive by many people in Rappahannock County, and that the proposed changes would further this problem. “I think these rules could be used in [Colonial] Williamsburg and this isn’t Williamsburg,” said Barton.

The historical information was gathered by Shepherd and Millenium Preservation Services by checking primary historical sources, physically examining town structures and interviewing property owners. “Washington is a very well preserved historic district. A very pristine setting, not blown away with urban sprawl.-’ The need for a revised historic preservation law with clearly defined guidelines became clear last year as Washington was in the midst of a court battle over the town's Historic District Ordinance. The lawsuit, brought against Washington by Sid. and Mary Catherine Worley when the town denied them approval to build their dream house with synthetic building materials, ended with Washington paying a $75,000 settlement and exposed weaknesses in the town's current Historic District Ordinance. Judge Jeffery Parker, presiding over the lawsuit, said at the time that the Tbwn's Historic District Ordinance “was on life support.” While several members of town government said that the Historic District Survey had been discussed before the Worley’s lawsuit, it was clear at Thursday's meeting that defending Washington from similar suits was the driving force behind the new guidelines. “If you deny something, there must be a rational basis for what decisions are made,” said Day on Thursday. Day represented the town in the Worley lawsuit. The initial draft of the Historic District Guidelines is available for public review at the Town office and the County Administrator’s office. Copies for private perusal are expected to be made available at a modest price in the near future.

The interim fee will be applied to new tap requests for single family homes and in the town limits who don't place unusual requirements on the town water supply. It was Sid Worley's tap request, filed a month ago,that finally prompted the Town Council to adjust the fee, which had been tabled for further discussion on two previous occasions. Because Worley's request was filed prior to the fee change, he will be the last applicant u, pay the older, cheaper rate. BB sized B&B The council granted Beverly and John Sullivan of Flint Hill a special use permit for their cabin on 132 Gay St,allowing them to rent the small house to guests. Subject to the Sullivan's getting approval from the Virginia Department of Health and VDOT, the cabin will be operated as a kind of miniature bed & breakfast, possibly under the stewardship of the nearby Middleton Inn. Other business According to Mayor Leggett, the Town Council should receive bids for the construction of the new reservoirs within the next two weeks. After extensive termite damage was discovered in Avon Hall in addition to the previous water damage, repairs to the building are expected to cost the full $75,000 that Washington received in an insurance payout for Avon Hall's bad flooding. Claudia Mitchell will serve as the town's representative to Peter Kreyling, who will be performing the repairs. The council voted to have a Christmas party for Washington on December 11.

Certified Arborist Healthy Roots MeanHealtvTrees Root and soil problems are the leading cause of premature decline of landscape plants, resulting in greater than 80% of early failures. A forest setting provides optimum growing conditions for roots. Leaves and twigs decompose providing nutrients and natural protection from the elements. However most soils in the landscape are heavily compacted, have little or no organic matter, and are nutrient deficient. This is why mulching, fertilizing and soil aeration is so important. The Root Invigoration Program is a new service developed to promote root growth on declining trees, construction damaged trees and newly transplanted trees. These treatments will produce up to a five-fold increase in tree root density. This leads to higher levels of water and nutrient uptake resulting in an overall improvement in tree health. In addition, Root Invigoration is an ideal way to prepare soil for shrub or bulb planting under existing trees without causing tree root damagt The Root Invigoration Program basically consists of the following steps: •Nbur trees and shrubs are evaluated for viability. • Soil samples are collected providing information about nutrient content, soil pH and organic matter. • The supersonic air spade is then used to cultivate the soil, organic matter,and fertilizer is then incorporated into the soil. • A layer of mulch is applied at a depth of no more than 2-4 inches and should not be piled around the stem. Typically, the next growing season the plants will have a much denser and vibrant crown.

Tapp’s Ford Bridge: About fords and the bridges origin VJU.HV! s i\oie: mis is the second in a series about Tapp's Ford Bridge by local writer Don Audette By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News Tapps Ford Bridge, fabricated in 1882, had a few adventures before ending up in Rappahannock County carrying Route 645 across the Rappahannock River to Fauquier County. Originally, the span was one of three in a bridge crossing the Rapidan River at Madison Mills in Orange County. It carried an old Piedmont-Fredericksburg trade route. But before the bridge was built there was a ford, and something needs to be said about fords to appreciate how lucky we are not to have to deal with them today. Fords In the old days, rudimentary roads simply led down to the edge of a stream. Animals, people, and travelers on horseback, or with wagons or coaches, made their way through the water to the other side as best they could. It was a risky business. A story in the Culpeper Exponent of January 20, 1882, tells of a new bride and her husband crossing a ford in a two-horse wagon. "When near the middle of the river they were washed by a dangerous current from the ford and down the dangerous stream." The husband lost his common sense, tried to leap into the river, but his bride, "caught him by one hand and with the other guided the horses to a point near the shore, where the wagon hung up." She then leaped into the stream, swam ashore, and walked a mile for help to save her half-drowned and half-frozen husband. Would a woman do that today for her man? ©electing a lord called for some thought. Usually it was where a stream widened so the water became shallow and moved relatively slowly. You did not want to be swept away by a rushing freshet of water after a rainfall or snowmelt. It helped to have the stream run in a straight line for considerable distance so water would not shift banks on curves. A hard, flat bottom, relatively free of rocks also was required so wagons would not sink into mud or have a wheel broken. A good ford often was used later as a bridge site. Along the Rapidan River in Orange County there were quite a few fords. Patricia J. Hurst, a meticulous writer of history in Rapidan, VA, notes many, such as Wilhoite's, White s, Willis, Liberty Mills, Cave's, Walker's, Barnett's (Madison Mills), Peyton's, etc. Traders crossed fords to get goods to and from markets. Travelers crossed to go about their business or pleasure. At times, fords became impassible and travel came to a halt. People, animals, and wagons of goods would have to wait next to fords for water levels to subside. They became a captive crowd for mills that r Photo by Richard Lykes TODAY: Taking a last look at Tapp's Ford Bridge on an autumn afternoon. sprang up to grind down certain products, separating the "wheat from the chaff," so to speak, thus lightening their loads. Taverns, inns, warehouses, wheelwrights, and other enterprises established themselves near fords to service tradesmen and travelers, their teams of horses, wagons, coaches, or animals being driven to market. But time was money, and bridge technology in the late 1800s allowed fords to be spanned by bridges, speeding up commerce. The 1882 Madison Mills Bridge The three-span bridge at Barnett's Ford (Madison Mills) was a joint venture between Madison and Orange Counties. Each county court appointed a Bridge Commission. They met jointly and subsequently reported in the July 1881 court term on the prospects for a bridge over the Rapidan River at or near Barnett's Ford. Three-fifths of the cost was to be paid by Orange County, twofifths by Madison County. The Orange County Board of Supervisors, at their November 29,1881 meeting, appropriated $100 to work on a road leading from Orange Courthouse to Barnett's Ford. The Orange County Clerk in January 1882, appointed a Bridge Commission to receive proposals for the building of the bridge, but this time the costs were to be split equally between Orange and Madison Counties. Their report was accepted at the Board of Supervisors meeting of March 21, 1882. Progress was evident by an Orange Observer news item of July 15, 1882, noting that; "The bridge commissioners met at Barnett's Ford on Wednesday last and received the masonry work, which has been completed. Everything is now ready for the erection of THOMAS MULLANY “Road Map” NEW PAINTINGS Oct. 22 - Nov. 13 Opening Reception Saturday, Oct. 22 from 4-8 pm 307 l^ain St., Washington, Va. 540.675.1411 www.rhbARTS.com Open Daily 10-6 the iron work. We understand the commissioners notified the contractors for the iron work some time ago, that the masonry would soon be ready, but up to this time nothing has been heard from them." Money was approved at subsequent Orange County and Madison County Boards of Supervisors meetings to pay for the bridge and roadwork leading to it. For example, on July 24, 1882, Orange County paid $500 and $30 respectively to two individuals working on the effort. On October 23, 1882, $1,000 was paid to the Columbia Bridge Works of Dayton, Ohio, as part payment for the bridge; and on November 16, 1882, payments of $765 and $800 to the Columbia Bridge Works were made to complete * Orange County's share of the bridge. And so the three-span, onelane iron bridge came into being at Barnett's Ford, to be later called the Madison Mills Bridge. Technically, it was a three-span through/high Pratt iron truss bridge, one-lane wide. In November 1903, the Virginia Bridge and Iron Company of Roanoke had to repair the bridge, but in gener 1 LARGE 12” 1 PIZZA ALL TOPPINGS NO EXTRA CHARGE” Only PIZZAS ALL TOPPINGS NO EXTRA CHARGE” Only ALL TOPPINGS NO EXTRA CHARGE” LOTSA MEAT PIZZA* PEPPERONI, BEEF BACON & SAUSAGE 'Only $8*9 AvailabU at p*rtn if>atift£ Lxjtu>n> CHEESE LOVERS JUST SAY.. “DOUBLE CHEESE IT”™ WE DOUBLE THE CHEESE!

In the background is the three-span, two-lane, 1934-replacement bridge (it looks white in the photo). The three 1882 spans were split up after 1934, and one span ended up in Rappahannock County after two moves elsewhere. al iron bridges had long lives, partly because they did not rust. Wrought iron also bent easily, so the bridge was forgiving if someone ran into the superstructure. The 1882 bridge is replaced The coming of the automobile and truck in the early 1900s was another matter. With a single-lane bridge there were right-of-way problem^ Many Madison Mill Bridge accidents were caused by inadequate signage noting that the bridge was one-lane. Iburists, unfamiliar with the bridge, were caught by surprise. For example, in April 1932, a car from Tennessee collided with a car from New York. The driver of the first car was "pitched through the windshield and a bridge standard is all that kept him from plunging into the river." He was fined $14.25. Lacking cash he gave his watch as security. In April 1932, surveyors from the Virginia State Highway Commission were working on a proposed location for a new bridge to replace the Madison Mills Bridge, but it was to be two miles downstream. This triggered a petition from some 500 local citizens who wanted the new bridge to be built near the old one. They got their way through donations of rights-ofway, plus the removal of a tenant house and some warehouses. Bids were opened on October 29, 1933, for the new concrete, two-way bridge located 150 feet downstream from the old 1882 iron bridge, and the Boxley Brothers of Orange won with a low bid of $41,687 The work was estimated to involve less than 50 unskilled laborers making 30 cents an hour, half the workers to be from Orange County and the other half from Madison County. By mid-February 1934, two concrete piers had been poured, abutments were in place, ten-feet of banking had been cut through on the Orange County side so new approaches could be made and two curves were straightened The new bridge of three spans was a low truss bridge, i.e., no top. Toward the end of April 1934, concrete, iron work, and excavations for the approaches had been completed, with the remaining work being the macadamizing of the new roadway on both sides, and painting of the iron work of the bridge. The new bridge was opened to traffic on Tuesday, May 15, 1934. In the meantime, people were angling to make use of the old 1882 bridge.

Their first president Phil Irwin is alive and well and continues to support the work of this organization that has grown in numbers over the years. He's keen on powerlines. You won't see any around his place. Certainly Caledonia Farm has power but the energy comes from buried lines. Saves the view. Paul Farmer serves as the current president and can count black bears as his neighbors and penning political forum pieces as a creative pastime. Paul loves the land as well and is carrying on a fine tradition. Come and help them celebrate on Friday, October 28 at the Washington Fire Hall. Naturally there will be good food and music but the company you'll find there is what keeps this county from looking cluttered. Speaking of protecting what we cherish, the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation is having a first-time event. It's a celebration of community and a kick-off to a major effort to find and preserve historical information about the school and its students. Once again, there will be good food and music and lots of historical memorabilia to share. Come on Sunday, October 29 and join the directors and community members as they sponsor this first annual event. It will be held at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Scrabble. Troubled times As if this country hasn't been rocked by enough hurricanes this year, Hurricane Wilma is now threatening the Florida coastline. Hurricane Katrina may not be making the headlines that captured our attention a few weeks ago, but the victims are most certainly still reeling from the devastation. The Rappahannock News has reported on several local efforts to help and will continue in that coverage. While possibly overshadowed by current events, the Thailand Tsunami Relief Organization is sponsoring an afternoon of food, music and dance from Thailand on Sunday afternoon at Trinity Episcopal Church. They have an “adopted village” near Phuket and through their efforts those villagers are enjoying a chance at a better life. While today's headlines are often tomorrow’s history, we need to keep all of these people in our hearts, minds and pocketbooks. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck Where’s the web? If you're driving east on US 211 be sure to look to your right as you approach Amissville. Added to the county's plethora of pumpkins are some pretty unique Halloween fixtures like this giant spider constructed by Perry and Kim Breeden. Wonder where the web is? Letters Thanks go out to Rappahannock Samaritans The Rappahannock Samaritans' buffet dinner on Oct. 8 was a wonderful, inclusive, heart-warming affair to aid victims of the Gulf coast hurricane disaster. This coalition of church and secular groups in the county raised almost $3000. More importantly, the evening ere ated a sense of unity and determination to help as a community. More than fifteen churches, the Boy Scouts, Lion's Club, Garden Club, Fire Department, Country Cafe, The Inn and many individuals participated. Many volunteered to make the evening a success but of special note are Charlotte Freeman and Louise Eastham, who handled food service. Judy Reidinger’s music program was outstanding. It included the Intrepid Jazz Trio's favorites from musicals, the harmonic hand-clapping Promise Land Men's Chorus and her own original Rappahannock composition, sang with guitar accompaniment. Planning is now under way to aid those in need. Watch for notices of meetings and other gatherings to help. Nels Parson Washington National Domestic Violence Awareness month Domestic violence touches all races, ages and economic groups. It happens to people of all educational and income levels regardless of mental or physical abilities or geographical region. It happens in dating relationships, new marriages and in longterm relationships. It happens in rural communities as often as in cities or suburbs. Eighty-five percent of the victims of domestic violence are women, but it happens to men as well. All too often we consider it none of our business and don’t reach out to help. Statistics show that in Virginia in 2004, a child died from abuse or neglect every 13 days. The number of women physically or emotionally injured is staggering. Domestic violence is the number one cause of emergency room visits by women. Our community should reach out to those adults and children in desperate situations and help them improve their lives. All people should be taught that love doesn't hurt and if it does then they should be guided to find the help they need. Virginia's Attorney General says that “domestic violence is one of the most destructive, yet preventable crimes our society faces ...we must do all we can to protect those who face violence in their homes, at the hands of their own loved ones.” Virginia has set up a series of programs throughout the Commonwealth to deliver a variety of programs to assist victims of domestic violence and their children. These programs offer services 24 hours a day at no cost to the victim. A great as these programs are, they pant do it alone. Only by spealdng out and offering our assistance can we hope to make a difference. Often victims of domestic violence feel frightened and alone. All of us can help by simply reaching out a hand and offering our assistance. Together we can make a difference. Together we can hope to put an end to this epidemic. If you think a friend or loved one is being abused, talk to them about it. Listen to them. Let them know you care. While many people are opening their hearts and wallets to aid the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, I would like to simultaneously congratulate them and ask them not to forget those in desperate situations in our own state. Incidents of domestic abuse are at epic proportions not only around the world, but in our own backyards as well. Nationwide a woman is beaten by her partner every 12 seconds. Statistics show that in Virginia every 5.5 hours a victim seeking shelter from a domestic violence program is denied for lack of space. There are a variety of ways that we an help. For the month of October wear a purple ribbon to show your support. Volunteer or donate items or money to our local domestic violence program, SAFE (825-8876). Donate old cell phones to your shelter so that they can be refurbished and given to those who need them most. Voice your concerns to your elected officials (encourage passage of the 2005 Violence Against Women Act). Buy prevent family violence stamps or stop the vio lence car magnets or bracelets. Encourage anti-violence curricula in schools (one out of five high school students report being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner). Participate in Domestic Violence Awareness month activities such at the SAFE house candlelight vigil on Oct. 25 at 5:30 p.m. in the Culpeper County Courtyard. Encourage your workplace to adopt a local domestic violence program by donating money and allowing employees time off to volunteer. Studies show that one in every three women will be abused in their lifetime. A high percentage of the men that abuse these women will also abuse their children. How can we stand by and do nothing? If you know someone in a violent relationship, be a friend and be there when they need you. Please make a stand. Show our children that love shouldn't hurt. Show our neighbors that we care. Do something about it. Don't make excuses ... make it stop. Michele Daniel-Shenk Warrenton Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 55 YEARS AGO October 19,1950 Forgotten but not gone in many homes at fall housecleaning time are carpet beetles and clothes moths, say entomologists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Spring has so long been the traditional time for the "moth campaign that many a housewife is unaware that spraying is needed because with modem heating these pests can thrive in winter. Before winter wools and furs are hung in closets, the closets should be cleaned thoroughly and then walls, baseboards, woodwork and shelves sprayed with a five percent DDT oil solution. Use a residual spray which leaves an invisible film of DDT on closet surfaces to kill pests coming in contact with it, even several * months after application. The so-called aerosol bombs or space sprays do not give lasting protection but do kill insects reached by the insecticide when the aerosol is released. DDT oil solution may be sprayed lightly on wool clothes without injury to the fabric or to the person who wears the clothes after the spray has evaporated. Use just enough to moisten the fabric. Apply lightly on both sides of heavy fabrics. Too much of the solutions may leave whitish traces on dark wool but these can be brushed or sponged off with dry-cleaning fluid. Clothes moths are blamed for much damage done by carpet beetles, the entomologists say. Reports from many parts of the country indicate that the damage caused by carpet beetles is increasing. It is the carpet beetle larvae that do the destructive feeding. These are hardier and move around more than clothes moth larvae, and are killed more slowly by DDT and may not die for several days after exposure to DDT. In spraying against carpet beetles, apply plenty of the solution to cracks in floors and around base boards where they frequ .itly live. A10 percent DDT dust blown into cracks gives added protection. 10 YEARS AGO October 21,1995 E. Franklin Warner has embarked on a project to save the Scrabble School with the blessings of the Rappahannock Historical Society. Enclosed with the current issue of the Rappahannock Historic Times is a one-page insert called "Scrabble Times.” Edited by James Gannon, the insert is an attempt to convince the community that a part of he county's history, particularly its black history, will be lost if the property is sold to the highest bidder once t^ie county no longer needs it for a dumpster location. The former two-room schoolhouse educated hundreds of black students in first through seventh grades who attended classes .there from 1922 to 1967 when it was closed. The land for the school was donated by Wood Grant, and a grant from Julius Rosenwald was used to pay for construction. Mr. Rosenwald was chairman and president of Sears, Roebuck& Co., and the Rosenwald Fund was used to build many schools in the south to educate black children including others of the "graded" schools in Rappahannock County. The "Scrabble Times" includes a survey form designed to learn how much community support there is for various options for the future use of the property, including using it for such community purposes as a senior citizens center, a community club room, a da> -care center, a museum of the county history and/or a branch library. Maybe I'll be a fireman when I grow up-- Delbert Costello of Sperryville tries on a fireman's hat during an inspection and demonstration given by Sperryville Fire Department last week at the school in that village. Wilson Atkins, engineer of the fire company who gave a talk and a demonstration, assists Delbert. (1965) Photo from the Rappahannock News Archives The Board of Supervisors' current plans call for selling this county-owned property to help defray the cost of developing a central location for collecting trash and recyclables. Mr. Warner and his Save Our School campaign is trying to generate community support for the county keeping the site for one or more of these uses or leasing or selling the property to a community group (that) would restore the building for one of these uses. Mr. Warner attended the Scrabble School as did many currently involved in the Save Our School campaign. The mailing of the Scrabble Times" is ,an effort to reach out to the larger community for support.

For 17 years, Alive & Kicking has helped members of the community take an active approach to monitoring their health and wellness, for free. This fall tradition will help residents improve their health through education and awareness. For the second year since the completion of the hospital's five-story addition, screenings will take place inside the new Tower. Participants are invited to take a peek around the new Conference Center, chapel, gift shop, medical imagining suites and the new cardiopulmonary gym. Visitors might also want to make plans to have lunch at the Bistro restaurant. The health screenings will take place from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 22. All screenings are free — the hospital's way of helping people get into the habit of taking charge of their health and well-being. Cholesterol Do you know your numbers? A simple cholesterol screening is the most important step you can take in understanding your risk for developing cardiac disease. The cholesterol screening includes total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and a cholesterol ratio. Fasting is not necessary. Blood pressure About one in every four American adults has high blood pressure. With high blood pressure, the heart works harder, arteries take a beating, and chances of a stroke, heart attack and kidney problems are greater. The good news is that once detected, high blood pressure can be treated and controlled. Height and weight High-tech? No. Important? Yes! These measurements can be compared to learn your body mass index. For adults who haven’t measured themselves recently, a change in height can be a good indicator of changes in posture or osteoporosis. Speech screening for children Speech can be affected by muscular coordination, selfesteem, developmental disorders, and even hearing ability. By the first grade, roughly 5 percent of children have noticeable speech disorders. A speech screening will help detect a speech problem and focus a path of treatment. ^Healthy offering^ Cholesterol check Blood pressure Height and weight Speech screening for children Pulse check Prostate screening Pediatric gross motor development screening Shoe wear assessment Balance Hemoglobin Blood sugar Ask the Doctor booth Body fat composition Foot screening Flexibility screening Skin checks Breast exams Smoking cessation Hearing screening Breast Cancer Awareness Month Hospital will offer free clinical breast exams and breast cancer awareness literature at its annual health fair Risk factors • Personal history of breast cancer. • Family history of breast cancer, especially in a firstdegree relative (mother, sister, or daughter), if the cancer developed before menopause or if it was in both breasts in any of those family members.* • Beginning your menstrual periods at an early age. • Going through menopause at a late age. • Having no children. • Having a first pregnancy after age 30.

Sudduth said that he enjoys working out at the LIFE Center because of the safety factor. 'My physician told me to exercise at a place where they'll monitor my blood pressure,' he said. 'Plus the staff here is very friendly.' The LIFE Center Fauquier Hospital’s best kept secret Finding an exercise facility where you don't have to sign a lengthy contract is almost impossible these days. And finding a facility where you don't have to fight off a crowd of bodybuilders to use a piece of equipment is just as hard. That's where the LIFE Center comes in. The Fauquier Hospital LIFE Center is a medically supervised exercise facility geared toward prior cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab, and physical therapy patients. The program is self-pay, self-referral, and it allows previous patients the opportunity to continue exercising with medical management. The LIFE Center offers: • The latest in exercise equipment. • Registered nurses to monitor exercises. • Certified exercise physiologists to design and supervise individual exercise programs. • A convenient month-tomonth payment plan with no At a Glance • Where: Located in the Warrenton Professional Center, 493 Blackwell Road, Suite 115 • When: Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. • How much: $60 per month — no contracts • More information: Call Physician Referral at (540) 349-0588. ---^long-term commitment. • A limited number of participants per session to ensure individualized attention. The LIFE Center is equipped with treadmills, stationary and recumbent bicycles, NuSteps, Precor elliptical crosstrainers, a rower, arm ergometers, free weights and a multi-station strength training system. The center also educates participants on a wide variety of topics such as weight management, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis and blood pressure management. Anyone who needs more than a “do-it-yourself” exercise program might consider giving the LIFE Center a try. Anyone can join the LIFE Center, but because the program is medically supervised and customized for each participant, it is especially beneficial for the following: • People at risk for heart disease. Their risk factors include hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, family history of heart disease and smoking. • People who have completed a physical therapy program for such conditions as joint replacement surgery, traumatic injury and back injury. • People who suffer from back pain, arthritis, deconditioning, stable stroke, fibromyalgia, or any other debilitating condition. Hospital offers expanded services for rehabilitation patients Anyone who struggles with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma or pulmonary fibrosis, or is a lung transplant patient, may be the perfect candidate for Fauquier Hospital’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Using physician supervision and individualized care, this program helps improve the quality of life for people with chronic lung disease. Services offered include: • Exercise sessions supervised by registered respiratory therapists. • Education and instruction. • Smoking cessation counseling. • Nutrition counseling. • Psycho-social support. • Oxygen therapy.

Heart health Fauquier Hospital recently remodeled its Cardiopulmonary Gym to allow more scheduling options for its cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation patients. The gym is open from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and can accommodate both types of rehabilitation patients at the same time. Photo Courtesy of Fauquier Hospital WALKIN': LeAnn McCusker, exercise physiologist, monitors Midland resident Jack Thompson on the treadmill as he listens to his favorite Alan Jackson CD. Thompson said ne enjoys the friendly staff at the gym and the variety of music played during his exercise sessions. Anyone who is recovering from a cardiac episode or has a chronic lung condition, and who thinks they would benefit from using the Cardiopulmonary Gym, may ask a physician for a referral. Many health care plans cover all or most of the cost of the initial part of the cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs. The hospital is committed to keeping the cost of the maintenance programs down to make it affordable for anyone who wants to continue a rehab program after insurance will no longer cover the cost. Renovated emergency rooms are now open Fauquier Hospital recently opened its newly renovated emergency department. Rooms were added to the existing ED, bringing the total number of rooms to 20. The staff is pleased with the extra space. Dr. Joseph Servideo, chairman of the emergency department, said, “The ED is bigger, it’s more flexible, and we're very happy with that.” As hoped, patient wait times have decreased with the additional space. Servideo said, “Efficiency has definitely improved. We re able to get people back to the pxam rooms sooner.” The ED has also been able to add a second physician to help cover the busiest shift. A second physician will be added for the 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Confident, strong & attractive... It's time to get the smile you deserve.

According to the find ings, respondents believe that emergency nurses are a crucial, yet often unrecognized members of the emergency department.

Cold weather has nothing to do with catching a cold. Many people become ill due to the fact that we tend to spend more time indoors in close contact with other people in heated homes. Because of the heated close quarters, germs are more easily passed from person to person. You can catch the flu from getting a flu shot. Fiction. The flu vaccine is made from an inactivated virus, so you cannot catch the flu from a flu shot. However, it's not uncommon to experience some soreness at the point where the injection was administered, and on occasion some people can feel a little under the weather for a few days. Starve a cold, feed a fever. Fiction and fiction. It is extremely important to stay well hydrated when yoil're sick. Starving a cold by not drinking plenty of water and juice could do even more damage. Likewise, overeating when you have a fever is not ideal either. It is important to eat, but you should not ovennauige. Herbal remedies are helpful for treating colds. Fact. An herbal remedy will not cure your cold, but in many cases an herbal remedy can alleviate many cold symptoms and allow you to feel better. For many people, head and chest congestion are the most irritating aspects of being sick because a stuffy nose and heavy head make it very difficult to sleep. Humidifiers utilized in conjunction with an herbal aroma can provide substantial relief from head and sinus conge ion as well as help soothe an itchy or scratchy throat. Chicken soup will help you feel better. Fact and fiction. It is true that warm chicken soup will make a sore throat feel better. However, chicken soup does not have any special medicinal healing power to cure a cold. Along with chicken soup, the notion that hot toddies will provide relief is absolutely false. When youre sick, it is definitely important to avoid alcohol. Beverages containing alcohol contribute to dehydration, which can compound the effects of a cold or flu. It's easier to catch a cold if you go outside with wet hair. And the answer is: Fiction! The only way to catch a cold or flu virus is if you come in contact with one. Having a wet head or wet feet w ill not make you more susceptible to catching a cold. Wet hair in chilly weather can sometimes lower body temperature and make you feel colder, which in turn can reduce resistance to a virus or cold, but you will not get sick purely from having wet hair in cold weather.

Every aspect of the state-of-the-art facility is geared toward better, more supportive health care. Washing hands is best defense against the flu Why wash your hands? • Hand-washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. • Good hand-washing technique is easy to learn and can significantly reduce the spread of infectious diseases. • Thorough hand-washing can help prevent diseases such as shigellosis, hepatitis A, e.coli, enterovirus, influenza, streptococcal disease, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the common cold. Correct hand-washing technique 1. Adjust water to a warm temperature and wet hands. 2. Lather a small amount of soup into hands. Using friction, thoroughly clean all surfaces of hands, including between fingers. 3. Pay attention to the nail and nail beds. Create enough friction to clean underneath the nails. 4. Rinse hands under running water. Hold hands in a downward position. 5. Dry hands thoroughly with a paper towel. When should you wash your hands? • After blowing your nose or wiping your nose. • After being around a sick person. • After any cleaning session. • After using the restroom. • Prior to eating meals or snacks. • Before preparing food. • After handling a pet. • Whenever hands are soiled. Flu shots available at nearby health departments As flu season approaches, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health district has released a list of flu shot clinic times and locations. Only those people at high risk of contracting serious health complications from influenza are eligible to be vaccinated at clinics prior to Oct. 24. After that date, however, all Virginians can seek a flu shot from their private medical provider, the health department, or one of the many businesses offering shots. “We encourage people to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from the potentially serious health effects that influenza can cause, “ said Dr. Lilian Peake, district health director. “Influenza can cause fever, cough, sore throat, head ache, chills and muscle aches, and is considered a severe illness.” High risk According to health officials, anyone can get sick from flu, but some people have a greater chance of becoming seriously ill. They are considered “high risk” and include: • Ages 6 to 23 months, and also 65 years and older. • Anyone between the ages of 2-64 with chronic medical conditions. • Women who will be pregnant during influenza season. • Residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities. • Children and adolescents on long-term aspirin therapy. • Health-care workers in direct patient care. • Out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of children under 6 months age. The best time to receive influenza vaccine is during October and November; however, vau ;.n ntion in December, or even later, :an still prevent the flu. January and February are typically peak flu months in Virginia, but increased flu activity can last into March. Protection from flu shots develops about two weeks after vaccination ana may last up to a year. A flu shot is just one of several prevention measures which help in keeping people healthy. Health department officials recommend the following: • Use tissues to cover y6ur mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. Throw away the tissue immediately and wash hands thoroughly. • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Rinse and dry hands with a paper towel. Use a paper towel to turn off faucet. Always wash your hands before you eat. • When you can't use soap and water, use an anti-bacterial hand gel. • Wash your hands before touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. • Don't share eating utensils, drinking glasses, towels, or other personal items. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Stay home when you are sick.

Senior Rebecca Oyster came in second place in the knife skills competition, while senior Tiffany Puffenbarger took the second place honors in the cake decorating competition. First time competitors Ashley Arnold, Ethan Russell and Austin Howard placed 7th, 8th and 9th respectively. A strong overall finish for the RCHS team.

The Virginia Association of Counties f quotes from a recent report by Fiscal Analytics, LLC, that the potential cost of a 1-percent reduction in assessment growth could be $58 million per year by 2009. A 20-percent reduction in assessed residential property through a homestead exemption may cost as much a $1 billion in revenue - by 2009. It would place an absolute stranglehold on localities.” On illegal immigration and day labor issues “It is a federal issue. I do not support illegal immigration. The federal government needs to address the bureaucratic red tape that delays, delays, delays legal status for those that are trying to go through the proper channels. “I have no problem with hard-working, law-abiding citizens entering our country, just as our forefathers did- I support work permits that additionally provide a safety net for our citizens in terms of tracking status. “What do we do with the children bom in this country, if we round up their mothers and deport them to their country of origin? We need an open dialogue with realistic solutions, and deporting all of them is not the answer by a long shot. “Nativism does nothing to solve the problem. “I support the Herndon Tbwn Council's decision (to create a day labor site near the Loudoun County border). People are very, very polarized on this issue. I despise the vitriolic dialogue that is taking place. “As I stated above, we need realistic solutions.” See POTTS, Page A11 INSURANCE FOR YOUR NEEDS Convenient New Location.

Kaine From Page A10 governments. They have got to own the transportation consequences when they make rezoning decisions. ... The law has to be clear in that you can turn down a rezoning if there is not ample transportation infrastructure in place or likely to be in place. ... (But) we wouldn’t do it in a way that compels local governments to turn something down. Tm open to discussion about whether or not more revenue is needed. [Editor’s note: But Koine has said he wants the Transportation Trust Fund protected before he will consider new revenue.] I’m not going to look people in the face and say, ‘Boy, there’s a huge urgent problem, and we’ve got to have more money from you,’ and then let you (the legislature) have the ability to take it out and use it for other purposes.” On property taxes “Home owners are saying, “Give us a break.’ Under current Virginia law, the only way to do that is to give everyone else a break, too.... I want to put into law that boards of supervisors, in times of dramatically escalating home assessments, could just target to home owners and exempt some portion of the value of the home from the tax bill, instead of a general rate roll-back.... This would be an optional tool to use in times of dramatic rising residential assessments, to target tax relief to home owners. It’s different from a cap on assessments ... it’s not mandatory.” On illegal immigration and day labor issues “(Referring to the Tbwn of Herndon’s recent creation of a • day labor site that is likely to be funded through a county grant) I wouldn’t vote for state dollars to go into a day labor site. I would oppose that... but here’s the challenge ... here we have a mayor and town council trying to deal with a hard problem that is not a problem of their own making.... The people doing something wrong are the federal government for not enforcing the law.... Have the INS (now Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) come set up a card table and check people’s bona fides.... If you did that four or five days, there wouldn’t be a day labor center in Herndon. But the INS doesn’t want to do that.” .On public and higher education “The first two priorities I will have in drafting a budget will be fully funding the K-12 formula and then fully funding the college base adequacy formula for higher education. I will first do those two things and then see what other money we have.... “We’re in a knowledge- and information-based world, and we’re'not competing against Baltimore and Charlotte anymore. It’s Munich, Shanghai and Bangalore. ... I’m not sure GMU (George Mason University) is happy with the way the formula treats them. But, before I change the formula, I want to be reliable about meeting the formula.” [.Editor’s note: GMU, now the state’s largest university, does not get the same funding per student that some others do.] un me aeam penalty “My position is this, I’m a Catholic. I’m against the death penalty and abortion. That’s my personal view.... But, like everyone in public life, I put my hand on a Bible and swear to uphold the oath of office ... So I’m going to uphold the law and, with respect to the death penalty, I’m definitely going to carry out the death penalty. HI use the clemency power like other governors have ... when there is grave doubt about someone’s guilt.

Kilgore From Page A10 they have toliave the courage to step up and cast that vote. That allows the citizens to get involved in the process. “You don’t have to take less services. If they want more money for the county government, then ask the people for it and cast the vote for it on the rate side.” On illegal immigration and day labor issues “What I see is that using taxpayer dollars merely encourages more illegal immigration into this country. “We’ve got to have immigration laws that are enforced. I will sign as governor within my first month the agreement... to empower our state police to enforce immigration laws. I would submit a budget amendment to hire an additional 50 state troopers for immigration issues. “It’s become a crime we ignore, turn our heads to, in this community and it’s serious. ... There are some estimates, 2001 estimates that we know have dramatically escalated, that we were spending $100 million a year educating children of illegal immigrants and $50 million on public safety [related to illegal immigration]. “Employers who employ illegals ought to have ramifications as well. We’re just asking people to follow the law. I don’t see how that’s being insensitive.” On public and higher education „ “I think we’re missing the boat on research opportunities. ... I want to bring tax credits to the table for private businesses to locate at or near a college campus and conduct their cutting-edge research right there. “Of all the companies in Virginia that conduct research, almost 60 percent of them conduct it outside of Virginia with another university. ... George Mason proba bly gets the least bang per buck because it gets less funding per student, and we have to deal with that funding. The General Assembly put in additional money last year, but we have to commit to closing that gap to help George Mason and JMU [James Madison University] — they’re the ones getting killed here because they’re taking more students.” On the death penalty “He [Tim Kaine] volunteered to represent death row inmates. It’s not that every criminal doesn’t deserve good representation, but Tim Kaine brought it into the public arena. He brought the debate to say it was cruel and unusual ... calling for a moratorium in his race for lieutenant governor. “And now he wants Virginians to believe that, in spite of his convictions in the past, his activism in the past, that he can carry it out as governor. That’s a critical issue for Virginians. It comes down to the trust issue.” Potts From Page A10 On public and higher education “My goals are to incrementally increase base funding through the general fund and non-general fund, and also to increase ' faculty salaries through the General Fund to keep Virginia competitive. Currently, we rank in the 45th percentile of peer institutions, I would focus on bringing us to the 60th percentile. “As governor, reining-in tuition costs will be a priority of my administration. Tbo many young people are saddled with huge student loans that thwart their ability to make a decent living upon graduation. “The charter universities legislation, which I spearheaded through the Senate Education Committee, gives schools more autonomy in fund raising. President Gene Nichol has already used it to create new scholarships for financially deserving students at William and Mary.” On the death penalty “I support the death penalty.” On major differences between the candidates “I am the only candidate with a proven track record of 14 years’ leadership experience in the Senate of Virginia, the last three as chairman of the Education and Health Committee, and a member of the Finance Committee — the two most influential committees within the legislature. “The Education and Health Committee addresses legislation that affects our citizens from the cradle to the grave, while the Finance Committee is the engine that rims state government and affects every facet of our daily existence. “I am not a career politician whose every goal has been politically motivated towards seeking the highest office in Virginia.

Finding his ‘Field’ of dreams in the Meadow By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer It came down to confidence. Although Michele Rouse had been told that the steeplechaser for sale had a propensity for refusing his fences in the hunt field, she told husband Randy she liked the bay gelding and wanted to give him a try HI get him to jump, said the former ladies’ timber champion. 1 want to try. Three refusals later, she gave up. Friend and champion amateur jockey Gregg Ryan assured Randy Rouse that he could get the horse to jump. Not a problem, Ryan said. Two refusals later, it was back to the drawing board for the now chagrined owner-trainer. Enter Upperville-based pro Jeff Murphy. I’ll get him to jump, he told Rouse. Watch me. One refusal later, Murphy kept talking softly, but out came the big stick. JUMP RIGHT IN: Fields of Omagh jumps cleanly in the fall-riddled International Gold Cup to win the $35,000 feature. Far left, center, Jody Petty jumps with first-time starter Bulawayo to win the maiden claimer. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Betsy Parker “He hasn’t refused since,” Randy Rouse said. That was just in time. Saturday, Fields of Omagh faced the big timbers at Great Meadow and handling the assignment with confidence. He deftly avoided five fallers throughout the 3 L/2-mile ‘chase, skipped over the sticky going and shrugged back a late rally from ‘03 International Gold Cup winner — and former stablemate — Lord Kenneth to draw off in deep stretch to capture Virginia’s biggest autumn timber prize. It was a popular local victory: Rouse, 88, has been master of the nearby Fairfax Hunt since 1961, and the ownertrainer and former amateur jockey maintains near-legend status as 11-time winner of the Mi :W. %|g ' % Financial Problems?

Rouse trains in Lenah and with wife Michele, herself a multiple point-to-point champion, they make steeplechasing a family affair. Fields of Omagh was bred in Virginia by the late Paul Mellon; the gelding, now 10, started his jump race career with Middleburg’s Kinross Farm. Irish pro Tbm Foley handled the reins in Saturday’s feature, having picked up the mount when subbing for an injured Murphy back on Sept. 17. Foley won the timber feature that day aboard Fields of Omagh, telling Rouse “that’s our Gold Cup horse.” One prep later — easy victory in the Chronicle Cup Oct. 1 — the Virginia-bred faced his toughest task yet in the $35,000 stake. The full field of 10 included two prior race winners (Lord Kenneth ‘03 and Kinross Farm stablemate Chinese Whisper ‘04) plus 2005 My Lady’s Manor winner Pleasant Parcel and ‘04 Manor winner Sham Aciss. “I wanted to stay handy, but I thought there’d be plenty of pace,” said Foley, 25. Plenty of pace put Fields of Omagh far back early, as Sham Aciss led Ghost Valley and Pleasant Parcel through the first mile. Plenty of pace then unraveled the race, with an unprecedented five fallers. First, Salmo fell at the sixth fence when taking off awkwardly, followed by Sham Aciss at the 11th, Chinese Whisper and Mr. Bombastic at the 15th, and Ghost Valley at the 17th. “Tbm was pretty much out of trouble,” without interference from the aufetVme fallers, Rouse said. ‘Three from home, he sort of had to duck outside to avoid collision, but he didn’t have any problem.” Foley inherited the lead with Ghost Valley’s exit left, and he held steady for the final three of 20 fences. Lord Kenneth loomed at the 19th, but Fields of Omagh drew off to win by six with a big jump over the last. Lord Kenneth was second, with Fast Steppin Man, the only other finisher, third. Pleasant Parcel and Chef Bear pulled up.

-—_________ * i nursaay, uctooer 20, 2005 A13 Scrabble School Homecoming and ‘History Harvest’ scheduled By Bob Lander Special to the Rappahannock News The directors of the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation will sponsor the First Annual “Scrabble School Homecoming I and History Harvest,” to be held at the Mount Lebanon Baptist Church in Scrabble on October 29, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Activities will include a picnic at Mount Lebanon with entertainment Photo courtesy of Kaye Kohler Seen any? Sixteen-year-old Andrew Kohler is working on an Eagle Scout Project. He is going to put a plaque and small flower garden around the rock that is located in the comer of Mt. Salem' Avenue near the Washington Baptist Church. This rock, through oral history, has been identified and confirmed to be an original "mile marker" for the county...perhaps the "zero" mile marker. Senior Research Historian Ann Miller from the Virginia Department of Transposition is will be in Washington on October 31 to speak to a small group of people who are interested in the history. She will be meeting County Administrator John McCarthy, Rappahannock Board of Supervisors Chairman Pete Estes, Andrew and others at 4 p.m. that afternoon. Miller is very excited about the project and has a wealth of information about these markers. Andrew is wondering if others in the county have seen such a stone on their property. The original US 211 ran on Fodderstack Rd. It is rumored that there is a person living on Fodderstack that thinks they may have one. The county confirms the existence of one other at this point. The historian has confirmed the existence of about three dozen in the State of Virginia. The dimensions of the rock are 12" by 13 1/2" with 20" above ground here and 20" also below ground. There are no engraving marks on it, but that was the norm. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently.

Tburs of the old Scrabble School building will be conducted. With the assistance and collaboration of the Center for the Study of Local Knowledge at UVA’s Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies, the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation has undertaken a project to research and document the history of Scrabble School. Alumni of the school are asked to bring in their photographs, certificates, report cards, letters from teachers, and any other artifacts representing the history and life of the school and surrounding community for tiie “History Harvest.” These items will be scanned on-site, labeled as to their origins and meaning, and immediately returned to the owners. In addition, alumni who are willing to be interviewed for the history project should brush off their memories and come ready to share them. No oral or printed materials will be used publicly without the express written permission of the interviewees, who will have a chance to review their transcripts before giving final permission. The Center for the Study of Local Knowledge is a Ford Foundation grant-funded initiative that seeks to bridge the traditional divide between universities and local communities by creating new models for intellectual and social exchange between academic and lay scholars. “We are thrilled to be working with the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation on this project,” said Scot French, principal investigator and codirector of the Center for the Study of Local Knowledge. “Tbgether, we can preserve the living memory of the old Scrabble School and write the next chapter of its remarkable history.” Research staff from the Center will be present to record oral histories and to begin to explore the role of Scrabble School within the broader context of African-American education in Virginia after the First World War. “Rosenwald Schools were not just school buildings, but almost always centers of African-American life,” said Craig Barton, a professor of architecture at the University of Virginia whose practice focuses on assisting African-American communities to preserve and interpret their significant cultural resources. “They were essentially civic buildings for a community that didn’t have access to the typical civic realm.” Professor Barton, who will also be present on October 29, led his senior architecture students in a 2004 project to develop design strategies for the revitalization of a Rosenwald School in Emporia, Virginia.

Environmental Protection celebrates 35 years By Emery Lazar Special to the Rappahannock News The Board of Directors of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) cordially invites all readers to help celebrate the organization’s 35th birthday. The event will be held at the Washington Fire Hall on Friday, October 28, at 7:30 p.m. There will be brief presentations by former president Phil Irwin and current president Paul Farmer on RLEFs past accomplishments and future challenges. Also, the attending members of the organization (including visiting friends of RLEP who decide to become members that evening) will elect several new candidates to the Board of Directors. However. the major portion of the evening will be devoted to socializing among the many citizens who have at least one thing in common: a vested interest in helping to preserve Rappahannock County’s wonderful rural environment. There will be complimentary food and beverages. The food will consist of delicious appetizers and desserts supplied by various Rappahannock eating establishments. Looking back In December 1970, a group of concerned Rappahannock County citizens gathered for an organizational■■ meeting at the Courthouse, to oppose the application of the Potomac Edison Company (Peco) to construct a 138,000-volt powerline through Rappahannock County. The proposed high-voltage transmission line would run in a northsouth direction from Riverton to Boston and cut an ugly scar into the landscape over a 22-mile stretch parallel to the Shenandoah National Park. The powerline with the cleared swath of land would cut smack through the center of our county, so as to utterly destroy its scenic beauty. This historic Photo by Ray Boc Williams Orchard Photo by Richard Lykes Beautiful Rappahanock County sunset meeting at the Courthouse marked the birth of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, better known by its acronym RLEP. The chief organizer of the meeting was Phil Irwin, who became RLEFs president, guiding the organization for the first 17 years of its distinguished history- ryOver the past three and a half decades, RLEP has had eight other capable and dedicated individuals at its helm, but even to this day Phil has remained heavily involved in the organization’s efforts to protect and preserve our beautiful rural county’s environment (in addition to running his widely acclaimed B&B business, the Caledonia Farm). It’s amazing how citizens of a locality can coalesce to wage an effective campaign against corporate giants when facing a serious threat to their environment. The people of Rappahannock County mobilized and rallied behind RLEP in an unprecedented way to thwart the construction of Peco’s high-voltage powerline. They filled numerous public meetings to capaci ty in order to have their voices heard, inundated the local newspapers with letters to the editor, produced and displayed anti-powerline bumper stickers and, last but not least, donated generously to help RLEP with effective legal representation. In March 1972, Peco formally withdrew its application for building a high-voltage powerline through Rappahannock County, after losing a legal challenge mounted by RLEP before the Board of Zoning Appeals. In its press release, the company stated that it had decided to purchase the needed electricity from its neighbor utility, the Virginia Electric and Power Company (Vepco), thereby obviating the need for additional powerlines. More power plans The withdrawal of Peco’s application did not end the battle over the construction of highvoltage powerlines in Rappahannock County. The other giant electric power company, Vepco, was pushing its plans to build a 500,000-volt transmission line from Mount Storm, West Virginia, to Morrisville in Fauquier County. The proposed powerline would cross Rappahannock County over its northern end, between Warren and Fauquier Counties. Unlike the 138,000-volt transmission line proposed earlier by Peco, this powerline would be among the largest in the world at that time, necessitating huge steel truss towers and a far wider cleared strip of land that would be visible from much larger distances. RLEFs position was that this new powerline was unnecessary since Vepco could add circuits to its already existing transmission lines. Vepco’s main argument for building the new transmission line was that the capacity of existing ones could not be enhanced without the demolition of many buildings located adjacent to the lines. Appealed In May 1975, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) ruled that the company could proceed with its proposed plans. RLEP mounted a major fundraising effort to raise money for an appeal, and the people of Rappahannock County generously donated over $100,000 for the cause. Tbgether with several other environmental organizations and the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, RLEP appealed the SCC ruling before the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, but in March 1976 the court ruled in favor of Vepco. The unsuccessful outcome of the appeal was not a surprise since the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals had never before ruled against a power company. Although the battle over the construction of the high-voltage powerlines took up most of RLEFs energies and resources 35 years ago, the organization was also working on other issues that, not surprisingly, very much resemble the environmental problems we are confronted with today. These included land planning and zoning, with consideration of their environmental impacts; farmland protection; environmental education; and improvement of the county’s local telephone service to enable direct dialing. Another hot issue was a proposal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build the Salem Church Dam on the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers, upstream from Fredericksburg. RLEP and numerous other conservation organizations were concerned about the dam’s potential negative impact on water quality and the proliferation of development in the Manassas and adjacent areas. Alive and well and living in Rappahannock Thirty-five years after its inception, RLEP is still alive and well as an effective advocate for our county’s environment, under the guidance of Paul Farmer (the organization’s ninth president), who is supported by a Board of Directors that makes all policy decisions. At the most recent count, RLEP has over 300 current members, defined as persons who during the past twelve months have made a financial commitment to the organization in any amount. Perhaps the most pressing environmental issue in our days is how to manage land use and development in light of increasing population pressures ap* preaching Rappahannock County from the east. Thus, RLEFs priority is to encourage wise public decisions by our elected local officials to keep Rappahannock green, rural, and serene. Just recently, RLEP created a Biodiversity Task Force under the leadership of Pam Owen to study and protect wildlife populations, their ecosystems and habitats in Rappahannock County. Also, RLEP has recently embarked on an effort to support the nomination of the Hazel River to Tier HI status and thereby protect the river in both Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties. Another current RLEP-sponsored activity, led by Jill Duvall, is to promote environment-friendly, renewable energy sources in the county, through information dissemination to the public.

Ballard is proud to present the new paintings of Washington, VA artist Thomas Mullany, from October 22 through November 13, 2005. An opening reception for the artist will take place Saturday, October 22 at the gallery on Main Street in Historic Washington, Virginia from 4-8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited. Among Mullany’s many accolades, the Wasnington Post once stated that he is “one of Washington (DC)’s most inventive artists.” Now the “other” Washington is lucky enough to have continual access to this artist’s new and exciting works. In this exhibition, entitled “Road See MULLANY, Page B2 Photo courtesy of R. H. Ballard ‘Roswell JSeed Company;’ Oil on panel; 9x12 Photo courtesy of R.H. Ballard 'Homed Calf;’ Oil on panel; 11x14 Miniature masterpieces to be ‘Scene and Heard’ at Packing Shed By June Jordan Special to the Rappahannock News The Packing Shed Gallery is pleased to announce its fourth exhibition of etchings and watercolor by master printmaker Viviane de Kosinsky. ‘Scene and Heard’ will run from October 27th to November 29th, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 29th, from 2 to 5 p.m. The title piece, a line etching smaller than a postcard, shows a guinea fowl perched on a Rappahannock fence. The artist’s tour of a year of illustrations is soon taking the viewer on travels along US 211 through Sperryville, with glimpses of foxes, visiting black bears, local dogs, protective cats, and afternoons in the vineyards, before arriving in London by moonlight or in front of a French flowershop. A violin in its case may be waiting to be played, and notes may still be echoing from a piano in a Paris apartment. There is even a bit of a boar. These detailed drawings are executed in the traditional painstaking manner, using a steel needle to build up linework through an acid-resistant wax varnish that covers a zinc plate. Each etching requires many hours of meticulous drawing, as the final print will be the opposite or mirror image of what the artist drew, transferred from the plate Photo courtesy of The Packing Shed Fairlea Farm; Etching with Watercolour; 4x3 inches; Viviane de Kosinsky onto handmade French paper. Between every drawing stage and printing stage — usually 4 or 5 previews before the etching is complete -- the plate takes a bath in nitric acid. Only when the final proof is approved does the hand-coloring begin, using many layers of brilliant watercolor and many miniscule sable brushes. In October of this year, Ms. de Kosinsky was honored with the Dorothy Barberis Memorial Award by the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club at The National Arts Club in New York. This organization was founded in 1896 in honor of the only woman among the 106 subscribers See MINIATURES, Page B2 Kenny Davem plays a mean clarinet Razzmatazz and all that jazz at the Theatre Oct. 29 By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News Clarinetist Kenny Davem is featured among the five outstanding musicians from “The Statesmen of Jazz” who will play at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia on Saturday, October 29 in a concert beginning at 8 p.m. The group comprises in addition to Kenny, James Chirillo on guitar, Tbny DeNicola on drums, Rufus Reid on bass, and Richard Wyands on piano. The “Statesmen of Jazz” was established in 1994, initially with the sponsorship of the American Federation of Jazz Societies, “to utilize the skills of master musicians . . . whose creative achievements have contributed to the ever-evolving new horizons of jazz. All of the Statesmen are musicians who have outstanding careers in music, are able to perform brilliantly and who have a keen interest in perpetuating jazz traditions through their performances at concerts . . . .” Each performance by the Statesmen is an ensemble drawn from the pool of Photo courtesy of the Theatre these musicians. Kenny Davem has been described by Will Friedwald in The New York Times as “probably the finest clarinetist playing today.” He started playing professionally at age sixteen and in 1954, at age nineteen, made his first recording, with Jack Teagarden. He is now in his sixth decade of performing and was recently inducted into the American Jazz Hall of Fame. He has appeared on numerous recordings. “Breezin’ Along” was selected by several critics as one of the best jazz records of 1997. “Bom to Play,” on which he also appeared, was selected in 1999 See JAZZ, Page B2 Phantom of the forest — it’s Walkingstick time Photo courtesy ot Jim Lawrey Fertile Northern walkingstick (IJiapheromera femorata) Camouflage, cloning and elaiosomes! Sound familiar? Certain topics just have a way of popping up in our columns. But it turns out they’re all connected with walkingsticks, a big favorite of ours. We’re seeing more of these funny-looking insects now, and we want to squeeze them into a column before we finish up our year and pass the torch. Stick and leaf insects are assigned to the insect order Phasmatoptera, a group of approximately 3000 named species worldwide. The name comes from the Greek word “phasm” meaning phantom. This is fitting since most of these odd-looking creatures look remarkably like twigs or leaves, which makes them nearly invisible in their natural habitats. Phasmids are related to grasshoppers, crickets, mantids, and cockroaches. All but a few are tropical and only a dozen or so can be found in the United States. They are unusually large insects and include the largest present-day insect known to science, a walkingstick from Borneo measuring over 13 inches in length. The most common phasmid in the United States is the northern walkingstick, Diapheromera femorata, I which we have here in the county. Skinny Northern walkingsticks are thin and tubular, around 3 to 3 Vi inches in length, with long, slender legs and antennae. They are most active at night when they feed on the leaves of tree leaves, mainly oaks, hickories, locusts and cherries. A century ago they were more numerous in northern forests and considered pests, but outbreaks are rare now and they are generally viewed as mere curiosities. They are slow-moving, graceful creatures. Incapable of flight, they walk around mainly at night in tree canopies munching on leaves. During the day they rest quietly, sticking out forelegs and antennae to more resemble the surrounding twigs they mimic. As the tree branches move in the breeze, they make swaying motions also. Hard to find Finding walkingsticks during the day is a matter of chance. We can sometimes see them by training binoculars in trees where we can hear eggs dropping. But we know we’re missing most of them. Since they’re active at night we’d probably have better luck with spotlights, but we’ve not tried this yet. Our walkingsticks have been active all growing season, but wf RappNature Sara and Jim Law ray rarely see them until late summer or fall, and then usually only after they’ve fallen out of trees. They overwinter as eggs deposited by females on the forest floor the previous fall. In April or May these hatch and tiny, greenish-yellow nymphs begin feeding on host plants nearby. At this stage their green color blends in well with the lush spring plant growth. Nymphs resemble small adults, and as they grow in size they molt several times and move higher into tree canopies. If caught by a predator, nymphs are capable of self-amputating limbs and then regaining them at the next molt. At the last molt, adults are usually a grayish-browm color, which blends in with their woody surroundings. Males are smaller than females and have conspicuous rear-end See NATURE, ^age B2

Some for Autumn might be of walking about in the cool fall air, hands getting chilly as twilight slowly gathers, dusky hues of long sunsets and long shadows echoed in the browns, reds and oranges of the autumn leaves, bonfires and pumpkins. Remember picking up black walnuts and smelling the spicy green aroma of their staining husks? And apples, mottled red, green, yellow and brown. And the muddy dark brown of freshly made apple cider. If ever a flavor captured the feel of Autumn, it is cold fresh apple cider. lb get good cider in Rappahannock you can stop at one of the roadside stands, or go to one of the orchards or farms, like Roy's, Jenkins, or Muskrat Haven. Sunnyside Farms has an excellent cider. Unpasteurized dder is a bit harder to get, and has an even better flavor. Williams Orchard in Flint Hill has local unpasteurized dder right now. And for something rarer yet, Smokehouse Winery on Ashby Road outside of Sperryville has fresh, lightly fizzy hard dder. Crisper and less sweet than regular dder, it packs a punch on the order of beer. John Hallberg gets his dder from Williams Orchard and spikes it with a dose of wine yeast After only a few days, a portion of the sugar has turned to alco: hoi and fizz. At first, the dder is still sweet and the alcohol ^ light, but in only a few days or week, it becomes less and less sweet and correspondingly stronger, ending up bone dry and ,v as strong as wine. Unfortunately, you can’t take jugs home with you, but if you stop by the Smokehouse Winery and visit vintner and brewer John Hallberg, you can -grab a quick pint before or after a fall hike up the nearby Hazel River Trail. Fresh hard dder is a highly perishable product only at its peak for a few days, so Hallberg cap’t stock it up for later sale. But there is some this weekend, and if people express an interest maybe he can be persuaded to brew some more of this hard to find , autumnal elixir. If you call and order ahead, he could brew you a five gallon mini keg you could use tor a fall gathering too. Call the Smokehouse at (540) 987-3194 and arrange to drop by. He’s usually there during the day. lb get to the Smokehouse, take Route 231 South to just past the F.T.

He also inteijects glimpses of Ireland. He and his family explored Ireland last year, and then traveled throughout the U.S. this past summer. Throughout each trip, Mullany was continually inspired and ultimately brought back an array of thought-provoking images and stories that possess new subtleties and strengths. A range of small and medium size works will be on exhibit. Mullany says this about his “Roswell Seed Company5, painting: “While passing through Roswell, New Mexico this last summer, I had to stop and take a look at this proud old store on the main street through town. I occasionally enjoy making a simple documentation of interesting architecture. In this case, I had to clear the site of extraneous visual baggage like other signs, cars, and trees that obscured the view. I love the way this building screams "Seed" to the street and the arid climate of southern New Mexico has preserved its colors well." Displayed in all of Mullany’s work is a mastery and an advanced understanding of paint and light reminiscent of a number of his historical mentors, e.g. Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School, as well as such 20th century American masters as Edward Hopper and Grant Wood. A graduate of the Corcoran School of Art, Mullany moved to Washington, VA, a decade ago, and lives here with his wife Kerrie (also a Corcoran graduate and an accomplished artist) and two boys, Will and Sam. The couple center their thriving decorative arts business, Mullany Art Studios, in Washington, VA, and are continually sought-after throughout the region and United States for commissions, murals, sculpture, and faux finishing. Mullany has been represented by R.H. Ballard’s gallery for several years, and he has also exhibited throughout the U.S. in numerous one-person shows in Washington, D.C., New York City, and Charlotte N.C. He has received a wide range of public commissions as well, in Virginia, Washington D.C., Maryland, New York, and his work is included in numerous public and private collections. The show runs for three weeks only. The Ballard galleiy is located at 307 Main Street in Historic Washington, VA, open everyday, 10-6. lb schedule an appointment, please contact Robert Ballard at the gallery, 540-675-1411.

Jazz From Page B2 as a top ten jazz recording by Jazz Journal International, and by The New Yorker as one of its six favorite jazz recordings. Guitarist James Chirillo was a charter member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. As a member of Benny Goodman’s last band, his performances include the PBS television broadcast “Let’s Dance.” Other outstanding features of his long career include his performance with Bob Wilber and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, and with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Rufus Reid is one of the major bassists in international jazz. He is also wellknown as an educator and composer. The BBC Big Band in Great Britain has recorded three of his jazz standards arrangements. He has performed and recorded with Andre Previn and Kathleen Battle, among others, and has many other recordings to his credit. From the early 1960s to the present time, drummer Tbny DeNicola has enjoyed a close friendship with Kenny Davem. He has performed with several of Kenny’s groups, and joined him in a number of outstanding recordings. Richard Wyands started out accompanying Ella Fitzgerald back in 1956 and Carmen McRae, before moving to New York in 1958 and shortly thereafter was playing with Roy Haynes and Charles Mingus. He continues to play with individuals and with his own trios. Tickets for the concert at the Theatre on October 29 are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. The concert is already well subscribed and reservations are suggested. For information and reservations phone (540) 675-1253 or email TheatreVA® aol.com. Nature From Page B1 claspers they use to grasp females during mating. Northern walkingsticks are typically sexual, but like many phasmids they are capable of producing eggs parthenogenetically (by cloning with no male involvement, like aphids), especially in captivity. At this time of year, females are depositing shiny, seed-like eggs as they move around in the trees. The eggs fall randomly to the forest floor where they remain untended until they hatch, sometimes several years later. The eggs of many species bear a fleshy appendage called a capitulum that is attractive to ants. Ants take the eggs back to their nests and feed the capitulum to their babies. The eggs are discarded in ant refuse piles where they can hatch safe from predators. This behavior is remarkably similar to that of many flowering plants, which produce fleshy elaiosomes on seeds that are harvested and dispersed by ants. So in addition to mimicking plants as adults many walkingsticks mimic plant seeds as eggs! Unfortunately, adults won’t survive much longer as it gets colder and leaves fall completely from the trees. So now is the time to look for these remarkable insects as they spend the last few weeks of their existence. Let us know if you spot any at rappnature@aol.com.

Belated birthday wishes go out to those area folks for last week, including Sheree Mills, See BOSTON, Page A6 The old ways still work Last week, while driving a friend home who lives way back in the mountains, I got the urge to grab my old Jennings compound and have a go at a deer. My supply of venison has been getting pretty low. Quick story: When my bride wants to let me know we are running low on venison, she goes to the grocery store and buys five pounds of ground beef, and leaves it on the counter so I can see it. That’s all it takes. Where are my cammies? Preparation is everything About two,weeks ago, I had gotten out all the paraphernalia it takes to go bow hunting, and my brother-inlaw gave me an old foam target he had made a number of years ago. It had been laying out in the woods, and it was still good. Believe me, that stuff is not biodegradable. So, I had been slinging a few shafts and had limbered up the bow arm a bit. I felt the capability was still there. I found a handful of good, straight arrows and sharpened some broadheads and I was ready. Last Thursday was a bit windy, but it began to lay about 5:00 p.m., and I struggled with my climbing tree stand to get myself up into a nice straight ash tree, about 15 feet off the ground. The doe made her appearance about 5:30. She was fat and sleek, but did not present a decent shot for some time. Rappahannock County MOUNTAIN VIEWS Hy-ftOC; TV ' -*±SFTrm-FJMZ- "TT. i • i %£TV,..

Pick a spot.” In bowhunting, the way I do it, concealment and stealth is everything. The deer was about 20 yards away, by my estimation. But, you can’t just shoot at the deer. You must pick a single, small, vital spot. When it was possible to make the shot, I prayed my silent prayer for a good hit or a clean miss. And, then, you do not release the string; you relax your back muscles and the string escapes from your fingers. I was rewarded for my efforts. I am writing this on Monday. Since Friday morning, the venison has been aging in an extra refrigerator, and I will work it up today. There will be no more store bought ground beef in this house for awhile. Get well soon You may have heard by now, but last week one of our favorite people, Alice Pullen, suffered a stroke. She is in Warren Memorial Hospital. I am told she has had so much company that the receptionist doesn’t have to look up her room number, anymore. Alice, we love you, and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Police & Court Briefs sports car collides with sport bike on US 211' The Virginia State Police are still investigating an accident involving a Porsche and a motorcycle that occurred on a sharp curve on US-211 west near Turn Bridge on Sunday afternoon. According to Trooper KerriAnne Corbett there are several conflicting accounts of the incident, complicating the investigation. What is known is that 28year-old Michael Azzarello and his 2000 Honda Motorcycle collided with the 2005 Porsche driven by William Trevillian, 69, of Charlottesville. Police are still investigating whether Azzarello crashed his motorcycle before or after both were struck by the Porsche. Trevillian was not injured but Azzarello was airlifted to UVA hospital following the accident, where he is listed in good condition. The investigation has been complicated by the lack of witnesses, and even the participants in the accident have been unable to provide police with details. ns: ' iSmesK Community Newspapers northern Virginia ? Call 540-675-3o49 with your news tips. According to police Trevillian was not sure if Azzarello was on the motorcycle at the time of the collision or not. Rescue personnel at the scene attempted to find out from Azzarello what had happened but reported that he seemed confused by a possible concussion and did not even know that he had been riding a motorcycle. According to police there is evidence that both parties in the accident were travelling at excessive speed prior to the crash. The posted safe speed for the curve where the incident occurred is 25mph. Underage drinker hits tree 7:30 p.m. October 19, Monday. Nineteen-year-old Max Haynes, of Front Royal, was traveling on Rt. 640 when he lost control of his 1999 Dodge pick-up, running off the road and striking a tree. Haynes told State Trooper KerriAnne Corbett that he had swerved to avoid an oncoming car! Haynes admitted having consumed alcohol prior to driving but tested below the level that would have merited a DUI charge. Instead, Trooper Corbett charged Haynes with underage possession of alcohol in addition to reckless driving. Trespasser arrested 6:51 p.m, October 14, Friday. A female complainant on Fodderstack Road called the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department to report the violation of a stay away notice. Howard Jones, 53, of Flint Hill was tinder a stay order authorized by Sheriff Larry Sherertz to keep away from the complainant and the complainant's property. The complainant reported that Jones was on her property and appeared intoxicated. Jones was charged by the RCSD with trespassing and failure of recognizance to keep the peace. —Monty Tayloe Sperryville Realty 540-987-8088 • Sperryville - Historic 7 room and bath home on town lot with public sewer.

Parents don’t make it any easier for them, either. Then again, we don’t make it any easier on ourselves. As not so responsible teenagers, we tend to shirk what little tasks we are given. We ‘forgot’ or we ‘didn’t feel like it’, then we are shocked when our parents say that we can’t borrow the car to go out for the weekend. How dare they? The main reason for not lending us the car, besides them being strict buggers, is that we aren’t ready for that sort of responsibility. This seems preposterous to us, but it’s true. Very true. Almost infallible in its truth. I’m probably the new Benedict Arnold of the teenaged community, but I feel that since I am a teen myself, I may be more aware of our problems and may be listened Teen Talk Emily Welch to more aptly than if an adult was giving this same advice. In order to receive certain privileges, teenagers need to show some level of responsibility. You know, the usual: taking out the trash the first time your dad asks, unloading the dishwasher without your mom yelling at you, maybe even volunteering to do a few other little jobs around the house. Expecting your parents to hand over the responsibilities you want while shunning the others isn’t going to end well. Just try sweet talking them a little...that always...no...no, it doesn’t work out, does it? Just be responsible, kids. That’s all the advice I have.

Everyone is welcome! r i impirmy % Randy Minter rEKSONAL RECOLLECTIONS According to Maori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) funeral custom anyone present at a funeral is invited to say a few words. This is undertaken in the belief that the more stories that are told, the better for making sense of our memories of the dead. Collectively, these recollections tell the story of a person who once graced our world. This story settles in the congregation’s collective unconscious and ensures that the memory of the deceased will live on forever. While cultural practices vary widely, there is a universal truth that can be taken from this practice. Anyone can offer to add his or her thoughts to the funeral proceedings simply by asking to do so. Sometimes we are shy in the face of death, when actually everyone benefits when memories are shared. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we’re here to help you and your family in any way we can for logistics to compassion. We’re at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Call us at 347-3431. “Life is too brief between the budding and the falling leaf" W.M. Vorics
