ON TOUR: Scrabble School is a place that brings back memories and hopes for a brighter future.

Good old Scrabble. Always will be known, Long remembered to those that are gone..”. Forty years ago last month, just two years before Rappahannock County’s schools integrated and the old segregated Graded Schools closed forever, Scrabble School student Lucy Coleman Jackson wrote those lines as part of a poem about her school in the Rappahannock News. Last Saturday the Scrabble School had its first homecoming celebration since those days; the first annual Scrabble Homecoming. From North Carolina and Delaware, from local areas and from Rappahannock County, former students of Scrabble School came to the school site to share their memories and see what has happened to their old school building. Eighty alumni and friends of Scrabble School ate hamburgers, hot dogs, heard gospel music and toured the building on Saturday, October 29. They enjoyed the fall weather, saw old friends and made new acquaintances, all through the common bond of an old derelict building that once was their school. “This is truly a remarkable day,” said beaming Dorothy Warner, wife of the Scrabble School See SCRABBLE, Page A2 sneers The RCHS Panther Cheerleaders flipped out with first place at the Bull Run District championships in Falls Church on November 1.

Musical charity rocked By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sunnyside Farms @ The Schoolhouse played host to a benefit concert for the Rappahannock Hurricane Disaster Relief Fund on October 29. The concert was sponsored by a group of local churches led by Rev. Jon Heddleston of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, who was also the event’s Master of Ceremonies. The event featured a great selection of local musicians, including, Rappahannock’s own ! Smiggy, Carla Theodore, the Men’s choir of the Promise Land Baptist Church. Photos by Richard Lykes REVEREND RUN: Rev. Jon Heddleston welcomes the singers to the stage. Also included were Joyful Noise, Lorraine Duisit, Judy Reidinger, Nancy Peacock, Donnie Carter, David’s Heart, John Tole, Ann Howard, Ginger Jarrells,King’s Travelers Three Generations, and David “Scratch” Clanagan & Company. Through the efforts of these artists, Sunnyside was filled with the sounds of gospel and folk music, including some historical civil war songs. The benefit’s location at the popular tourist stop meant that even travellers who had initially pulled over for a Kobe Burger got to listen to the music and give for Katrina releif. The day of excellent music was a success, raising close to $2,500 in donations for the Katrina Relief Fund. The concert was part of Rappahannock’s continuing efforts to aid the victims in the Gulf Coast.

Polic%j& Court Briefs Lights out for’sex offenders The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department and the Virginia State Police participated in Operation Porch Lights Out this Halloween. The multi-state initiative prevents registered sex offenders from having their porch lights on or leaving their homes between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. on the night of Halloween. In addition to their porches being dark, registered sex offenders are also prohibited from displaying Jack O’ Lanterns of giving out candy under the law. “We’re working in conjunction with probation and parole officers,” said Major Chris Williams of the RCSD. State troopers and Rappahannock deputies will be checking the residences of registered sex offenders in Rappahannock County throughout the prescribed hours. Failure to comply with Operation Porch Lights Out could result in parole violations and jail time for affected individuals. “We just want the community to know that we’re doing our part to keep Halloween safe,” said Williams. The on-line database of registered sex offenders in Virginia is available at: http://sex-offender.vsp.state.va.us.

He could face up to eleven years in prison, which would be added to the year in prison he already faces for crimes committed in Fauquier County. According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Edwards is also facing similar charges in Roanoke for incidents alleged to have occurred there between Edwards and one of the victims from Rappahannock County while on a basketball trip. Accidents 4:00 a.m. Sunday, October 30, Alex Judson Hammer, of Amissville, fell asleep while driving his black 2002 Chevrolet S-10 on US-211. The 19-year-old’s truck drifted off the right side of the road, causing Hammer to awaken and over correct. The truck ran off the road a second time and struck an embankment, launching the vehicle into the air. The vehicle struck a tree before landing on its driver side, facing westbound 211. When State Trooper Derrick Mauck responded to the scene of the accident, Hammer was not present at the scene or at his residence. He was not located until he turned himself in to the State Police at 8:30 a.m. and he was then charged with Failure to Maintain Control by Trooper Mauck. Hammer sustained only minor injuries. The S-10 was totaled. 5:48 a.m. October 29, Sunday Deputy Gary Jenkins witnessed a vehicle driving in the wrong direction on US211 near the intersection with Schoolhouse.

Virginia 22747 I Photos by Richard Lykes Miranda Hope chats with the student representative from Rappahannock County High School. Scrabble From Page A1 Preservation Foundation’s founder, the late Frank Warner. Stories gushed from the former students as they entered the building for the first time since the thirties for several and the sixties for others. “It seems smaller now,” exclaimed one visitor. Another pointed to the various rooms announcing what they were during her tenure. Others reminisced about their teachers and the playgrounds and carrying coal and wood and water. Former student Thomas Lewis of Sperryville recalled that there were two teachers, and where there is one big room today, you can see in the center of that main room where there was a sliding divider separating the building into two classrooms. Each room had a big slate chalkboard covering the length of a wall, where today you see a band of bare wood contrasting with the painted wall. “We sat in rows, facing the teacher, and each row was a grade. You would listen when the teacher was speaking to your class, and try to ignore him and work when he was teaching the other classes,” recalled Lewis. Lewis and another former student tried to recall when indoor plumbing was added to the school, estimating that it was in the early to mid 1960s, in the last few years before the school closed. They recalled the desks, the wooden kind with a metal rack underneath where you slid your books in when you sat down. Mrs. Bingham and later Mrs. Austin were Lewis’ teachers at Scrabble. Many of these stories were recorded by audio and video means as the beginning of the “history harvest” that will be continuing under the direction of Scott French and Scott Mathews of the Woodson Center for African and African-American Studies (UVAj. Bob Lander, President of the Foundation, announced that he signed the memo of understanding with the Center for this research to continue for the foreseeable future. All the information collected will be given to the Foundation for the Scrabble School archives. Lander remarked, “This day is the culmination of about two CHARGE: County administrator John McCarthy leads the way as residents line-up to tour the old Scrabble School. THERE: A former alumna points out areas of the school that she remembered. years work by the Foundation’s Directors, a truly grassroots operation. I’m really proud of their work and prouder still to be a part of it. With help from the Center, we’ll be able to make Scrabble School a destination for scholars and tourists and others with an interest in history.” But the Foundation’s work is only beginning. The directors are scheduled to go before the Board of Supervisors on November 7 when they will present a report and their proposal for the future of the building and property.

It was built with funds raised from the parents of students, some from local white donors and seed money from the Julius Rosenwald Society. The Rosenwald Society helped • build schools for AfricanAmericans throughout the South in the early decades of the twentieth century. Scrabble alumna Molly Jackson-Slaughter recalled her class motto was “they can who think they can.” In keeping with that tradition, the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation hopes to rehabilitate the building, and with it the history and legacy of its students, and a new use that will benefit the county community.

It is not over yet. Contrary to what some erroneously printed calendars might show, and what some voters might have hoped for, the election was not the day after Halloween, the first Tuesday in November. According to the state constitution, general elections are held the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, which means you have another week’s worth of political hoopla to withstand. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. next Tuesday, Nov. 8. Virginians will be casting votes for a new governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and their local delegate to the state House. Fairfax County residents also will be asked to vote on a $246 million school bond referendum. This year, more than 610,000 county residents are eligible to vote. Fairfax County accounts for one in seven voters statewide and is the only locality in Virginia that has voted for the winner of every gubernatorial contest for the past century, according to local officials.

No one can say for sure how the turnout will be or who will win. Rappahannock registrar Nancy Newlin says turnout may depend on the weather that day as much as anything else. Our state elections occur on off years from national elections, which tends to suppress turnout. Statewide, turnout has been dropping steadily over .the last decade and a half. Our district for the State House of Delegates comprises Rappahannock, Page and Shenandoah counties, as well as part of Rockingham County. If recent statewide elections are any guide, vve might expect a turnout of around 55 percent here, with similar numbers in Shenandoah and Rockingham county and a bit lower turnout - maybe mid 40’s- Over in Page County. Turnout here tends to be a good ten percent higher than the statewide average. Rappahannock has a strong tendency to go Republican. In fact, over the last ten years, only once has a Democrat won in Rappahannock County. There is a strong Democratic contingent compared to surrounding counties to the west and south, and when the Republican is not running unopposed, a Democrat can bank on at least 40 percent of the vote. Governor Mark Warner received 48 percent of the vote here, even though the state party generally makes very little effort in Kappahannock. The one recent Democratic win in Rappahannock might be instructive about next Tuesday’s election. In 2002, the Democratic candidate for our district’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives was thoroughly trounced, 70 percent to 30 percent. But in Rappahannock, he won handily with 56 percent of the vote. That was Ben”Cooter” Jones, Political Analysis running against Republican Eric Cantor. Jones received very hostile press coverage. Time Magazine published a piece on Jones without contacting him or his campaign, that made fun of him as a Southern caricature. But Rappahannock rallied to Jones as one of their own. Jones was not a native. He had not even lived here all that long when he ran. But he had become a familiar and popular face around the county- tyJones had a certain pop culture status from his Dukes of Hazzard days, he exuded a certain Southern charm when you spoke to him, and he had been a member of congress before. But as that availed him very little outside of Rappahannock, Jones did very poorly in surrounding counties., getting only 30 percent of the total vote. It appears it was his status as local icon that swung Rappahannock over to his side. Comparing that election to our current contest for House of Delegates, Blubaugh has much deeper roots in Rappahannock than Jones did-26 years to Jones’ less than ten. Blubaugh has none of the negatives, the image problems and overtly hostile national press Jones had to contend with too. Helping Democrats too, Democratic Governor Mark Warner is riding high, with an approval rating of 66 percent - sixth highest among the 50 states. The approval ratings of the Republican presidential administration and Republican controlled Congress are both in freefall as well. Whether these factors will translate into a bump for the Democratic slate in Virginia is far from certain. - But unlike many recent elections, this one is shaping up to be a pretty tight horse race. This paper has endorsed Blubaugh for delegate, and he is in many ways better situated than any Democrat in recent memory to win our district. History makes it clear that it is nonetheless an uphill battle for Blubaugh. In Rappahannock County, though, Blubaugh has an excellent chance of a decisive win. Statewide, the Democratic slate may have a fail shot. A recent Washington Post poll gives Kaine a 3 point lead, and an even more recent Roanoke College poll shows an astonishing 8 point lead for Kaine over Kilgore. That poll has a margin of error of 5 percent, so the real lead could be as low as 3 percent or as high as 13 percent i very unlikely). There is less data at the lower levels. But a recent poll conducted by the conservative Richmond Times Dispatch suggests a toss-up for Lt. Governor, and a small lead for the Republican Creigh Deeds for Attorney General. Even if the Democratic slate were to sweep the state though, with the exception of Blubaugh, odds somewhat favor the Republicans in Rappahannock. Republican or Democrat, though, it is up to you to show up at the polls, and prove these musings right or wrong next Tuesday.

For those running it certainly matters and it should matter to all of us regardless of our political affiliations. The Kilgore-Kaine race will come down to the wire. For many, the choice is clear. For others, it’s a toss up between two attractive, mid-forties attorneys who both have held elected office and both say they want to do good and caring things for tiie people of Virginia. They’ve also both been politicking to death. It’s amazing they are both still vertical. Rappahannock has one of its own running for the 15lh. District House of Delegates - Jim Blubaugh. His bright blue pick-up has put on a lot of miles and while garnishing a strong Democratic following, Todd Gilbert hails from Shenandoah County where he has the backing of a hefty Republican stronghold. If you think that your vote doesn’t matter, it does. And if you think that you don’t have a voice in your government, you do. Voting is a privilege extended to citizens who live in a democractic land where they have earned the right to vote and are governed by officials who count on their votes. Don’t be shy on Tuesday. Subscription spirits Flint Hill resident Robert Welch stopped in the paper on a recent Thursday morning. It was a beautiful day. He was carrying an issue of the Rappahannock News and wanted to speak to someone personally about his concern. The paper has been going to his aunt, Viola Jackson, in Highland Springs, Virginia which is near Richmond. “I don’t want it, “ he said. “I already get one and I don't need this one.” Viola Jackson, Welch’s aunt, died nearly two years ago. When she passed on, Welch phoned the paper and stopped her subscription. ‘‘Everything was fine until a couple of months ago,” continued Welch. “Then the paper started arriving again." “I’m not being charged for it but there’s no reason for it to keep coming.” I apologized that the paper was being sent to a dead woman and explained to Mr. Welch about the series of corporate ladders that circulation requests and challenges go through and that I would certainly look into this matter. We continued chatting and I was glad for the opportunity to meet Robeit Welch and talk about his aunt and how she was born and raised near Huntly. When he left, we were both laughing about the matter. “Well, she always liked the paper,” he said. “Maybe she just wanted to start getting it again.” Gilbert has worked hard for the Commmonwealth ext week we will vote for our new Delegate for the 15th District. Todd Gilbert has worked hard for the people of the Commonwealth in prosecuting,all types of crimes in Shenandoah County. I was born in Shenandoah County and have close ties with the county through my family, business, and friends. Todd is well respected, and has earned the admiration of the people of the county through his works and community commitments. Furthermore, he has committed himself to,the Republican Party and has worked his way up through the ranks During his'vampaign, I have talked with Todd concerning the differences between the three counties that he will represent He recognizes these differences and will work on our individual needs in Richmond. Unlike, the Rappahannock News. 1 know that Todd Gilbert has the seasoned experience that may well make him the best Delegate ever to represent Kappahannock County Alvin Henry Amissville . .Thke Tyrants Vowt ®6UE« IK.... ....VouRMtoV^ff ?oi?cT L .MAKE'ftKg mi WE W0N6J Letters Lower your Virginia Taxes at the Washington Town Hall on November 13th No kidding. Some of your Rappahannock neighbors donated easements that made them eligible for Virginia tax credits. They have more credits than they can use and are looking for Virginia tax payers who would like to buy the tax credits at 70 to 80 cents on the dollar. That could be you. You may be able to lower your personal or corporate Virginia taxes by 20 to 30 per. cent by showing up at the Washington Town Hall on November 13. Here’s how it works. The Commonwealth of Virginia encourages landowners to donate conservation easements. One of the incentives is lower Virginia taxes, specifically, half the difference of the value of the land before and after the easement. Let’s say you have a 100-acre parcel — the minimum recommended size — and are thinking about donating a conservation easement. You hire a qualified appraiser who values your land at $800,000 before you donate your easement.(The example is hypothetical; an actual appraisal could be higher or lower!) Because you have surrendered your development rights by granting the easement, the appraiser now values your land at $640,000 after you donate the easement. The value of the easement is $160,000; half of $160,000 is $80,000. You now have $80,000 in Virginia tax credits. What are you going to do with them? Your own taxes average around $5,000 per year. Virginia tax law allows you to spread your credits over six years, but that still leaves $50,000 in tax credits you can’t use. Not to worry. The Commonwealth lets you sell them or give them away to other Virginia tax payers such as your children and your Rappahannock neighbors. Most prefer to sell their tax credits, but now they have a new problem. They can’t find buyers. True. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess tax credits go unused for lack of buyers. A new industry has sprung up to fill that need — people who broker tax credits. Lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, appraisers and others who match sellers and buyers for a fee, typically 8 to 10 percent. The Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) would rather not do that. We prefer a neighbor-toneighbor approach. A local hunt club, for example, matches landowners who have excess tax credits with others interested in purchasing those credits. Sellers are happy to find buyers because sellers pocket money they would otherwise lose. Buyers are happy to find sellers because buyers then lower their Virginia taxes. No fee is involved. If you want to learn more about easements and tax credits, if you have tax credits to sell, or if you’re interested in buying tax cred its, come to the RCCA annual meeting at the Washington Town Hall on Sunday, November 13. Snacks and socializing begin around 4:00; the program follows at 5:00. (The Town Hall is on Gay Street, at the opposite end from the Courthouse.) A panel of experts will explain the process and answer questions. You can also sign up to look for sellers or buyers. The panel includes local residents who have sold tax credits, others who have purchased tax credits, and professionals who provide legal advice, accounting services, and appraisals. You don’t have to be rich. Some Rappahannock residents of modest means have purchased tax credits for years. Bottom line: If you pay Virginia taxes, you can buy credits that reduce your obligation. You’ll also do sellers a favor and help keep our county scenic and rural. Hal Hunter Amissville Rappahannock’s Tsunami relief efforts Dear Editor, On behalf of the board of directors of Thailand Tsunami Relief Organization (TTRO), I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the people of Rappahannock County for their ongoing support of our adopted fishing village, Ban Pak Tream, which was completely destroyed by the Tsunami in December of last year. The citizens of our county have held fast to their commitment to this village and were able to witness the fruits of their support at “A little Thai in Little Washington", an event held on October 23rd at Trinity Church. Through the generosity of the Embassy of Thailand in Washington, DC, delicious Thai food was enjoyed by all. The program also featured live Thai music, a performance at The Theater by a traditional Thai dance troupe, a documentary film premier showing the rebuilding effort in Ban Pak Tream and an open-air bazaar featuring - Thai products. Special thanks go out to a number of people who made this event possible including: Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn; Mr. Chirachai Punkrasin and his staff at the Royal Thai Embassy; Former Ambassador H E. Kasit Piromya; Mr. Ed Piromya; Sally Cunningham; Marc L. Cugnon; Marc A. Cugnon; Linda Claymier; Victoria Gladstone; Richard Lykes; Fran Krebser; Stephanie Ridder; Martin Woodard; Albert Bechtold; and Brian Ross. We would like to recognize the generosity of Trinity Church in providing the venue as well as Wendy Weinberg for graciously opening The Theater for the documentary premier and dance performance. In addition we appreciate the round trip air tickets for two to Bangkok provided by Thai Airways and the donation of beverages provided by Singha Beer. The 121 surviving members of Ban Pak Tream have gone on to reconstruct their lives and livelihood, with the help of Rappahannock County. Our model of community-to- community support will now be extended to eight sister villages, which have joined together with Pak Tream to create a crossvillage support and enterprise structure, none of which would have been possible without the initial funding from our county. So, in this year of natural disaster and loss, Rappahannock citizens can be proud that our efforts have made such a tangible, measurable and positive difference in the lives of those so much in need. With sincere thanks, Alaina Love Cugnon Executive Director, TTRO Kaine’s the ticket In this year’s qlection for statewide office, the clear choice is the ticket of Tim Kaine for Governor, Leslie Byrne for Lt. Governor, and Creigh Deeds for Attorney General. They deserve your vote because they have the competence and experience to make the-government of our Commonwealth work in this time of unprecedented demands and challenges. Tim Kaine served as mayor of Richmond before spending the past four years as Lt. Governor under Mark Warner. Leslie Byrne has served in the House of Representatives in Washington and both houses of the General Assembly in Richmond. Creigh^Oeeds is presently a State Senator for Bath County, with a reputation for being able to work with all sides of the political spectrum. He is the first Democrat to run for statewide office in many years to receive the endorsement of the National Rifle Association. Altogether, they add up to an unbeatable combination of ability and skill. By contrast, Kaine’s opponent, Jerry Kilgore has run a campaign of hypocrisy and cynicism. Kilgore opposed the tax overhaul that Mark Warner and Tim Kaine helped enact last year, but he is more than happy to turn around and recklessly spend the surplus revenue the overhaul provided. Kilgore wants an amendment to the state 90m stitution requiring Virginians to approve or disapprove, by way of a referendum, any increase in sales, income or gas taxes. This is an abandonment of leadership and pure political cowardice, decisions on taxes are why we elect Governors and members of the General Assembly in the first place. Kilgore’s plan is also a recipe for disaster if there is a sudden downturn in the economy (caused by a natural disaster or terrorist attack) and there is not enough money for public health programs, education, and public safety. One more thing needs to be made clear: as Governor, Tim Kaine will not abolish the death penalty. He is a man of faith, whose churchy opposes capital punishment, but Tim Kaine respects the will of the people and will put his hand on the Bible and swear an oath to enforce all the laws of the Commonwealth. Kilgore says Tim Kaine is unfit for office because he has represented death row inmates in court.If Mr. Kilgore believes this, then Chief Justice John Roberts and former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr are also unfit for public office. On November 8th make your voice heard, go to the polls and vote for the ticket of Kaine-Byme-Deeds, and for good measure, be sure to vote for Jim Blubagh for Delegate also. Fred Schaefer Sperryville

Eminent Domain.cannot be a local decision The October 27 edition of the Rappahannock News reported on a debate in Luray recently between candidates for the 15th District House of Delegates’ seat. According to the paper, our local candidate, Jim Blubaugh, retired distinguished federal official, in reference to the recent Supreme Court decision in Kelo vs New London said: “There is a difference between us on eminent domain. The Supreme Court said it is not a federal issue and should be a local decision. That is right.” His opponent, Todd Gilbert, strongly differs. The eminent domain issue arises from the Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, specifically the phrase, “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” The first ten Amendments are known, collectively, as The Bill of Rights. They were enacted to limit the power of governments at all levels. Why should, how could eminent domain be a “local decision?” Do we want our County Government deciding what the Rappahannock News can print? Or have it rule that only bornagain Christians can live here? Or turn one of our beautiful farms over to a developer because that would bring more tax money for the county? If one provision from the Fifth Amendment is subject to “local decision.” Why shouldn’t those from the First Amendment be? The need to restrain the inexorable growth of governments’ power is the issue here. Mr. Gilbert clearly understands that better than Mr. Blubaugh. Gilbert deserves our support and our votes. John L. Marocchi Sperryville Arlene Frye’s service to children Dear Rappahannock Families, It is with great sadness and tremendous gratitude that I write to tell you of Arlene Frye’s retirement from our InfantToddler program. After twenty-five years of nurturing our youngest children at the Child Care & Learning Center, Arlene has decided that October 31st will be her last day. She is busy settling into her new home in Culpeper, and anxious to spend her time sewing, reading, and gardening. My personal connection with Arlene goes back to her early years at what was then called “Sursum Corda,” when she was rocking my oldest daughter, who now has two children of her own! Arlene has played a major role in the lives of all three of my children, and has been a tremendous support .to me in my 17 years here as Director. Personally and professionally, I will miss having her in our building. The Board of CCLC will be recognizing her service to our children as the Guest of Honor at the CCLC Auction on November 12th. We are also dedicating our 29th Annual CCLC Children’s Christmas Program as a special tribute to Arlene on December 15th at 5:45 at the Washington School. We will be inviting parents in the audience who have had children in Arlene’s care to stand up at both of these public functions as a visual display of the number of lives she has touched here in Rappahannock. We know that there are many parents in the community who want to thank Arlene for being a part of their children’s lives. Natasha White is organizing a party hosted by the current and past parents that will take place in the latter part of November at the Washington School. She will be sending out information about the exact time and date later.

Certified Arborist Help trees lake shape: Prune Properly Why do people prune trees? People commonly prune trees to remove dead branches, remove crowded or rubbing limbs, or to eliminate hazards. Trees also are pruned to increase light and air penetration to the inside of the tree's crown or to surrounding landscape. But in most cases, mature trees are pruned as a corrective or preventative measure Since each cut has the potential to change the grow th of the tree, no branch should be removed w ithout a reason Pruning Techniques rhere are specific ty pes of pruning that help trees stay healthy, safe and beautiful ■Cleaning removes dead, dying, diseased. crowded, weakly attached and low-vigor branches from the crown of.a tree ■Thinning selectively removes branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown and reduces weight on heavy limbs to retain ihe tree's natural shape. ■Raising removes lower branches from a tree to clear space for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians and view s. ■Reduction trims the height or spread of a tree by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to lateral branches that are large enough to assume the terminal roles (at least one-third the diameter of the cut stem). Compared to lopping, this helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree. Pruning large trees can be dangerous - i usually involves working above the ground and using power equipment.

" ~ Appreciating our local leadership The nomination by the State Water Control Board of the Hazel River as an “Exceptional State Water” is a good opportunity for us to reflect upon the many ways in which our local leaders and citizens have been protecting and preserving Our rural way of life and environment over time. In 1962, the County’s first Subdivision Ordinance was adopted, followed in 1966 by the adoption of the County’s first Zoning Ordinance. In 1975, the County adopted an Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan was first adopted in 1973, and was revised five times including the latest 2004 revision which strongly reaffirms our County’s commitment to “the careful nurturing of these natural resources.” Through these and many other local policies and procedures — such as land use taxation, agricultural and forest districts, land use planning, encouragement of conservation easements and agricultural preservation, consistent implementation of policies - our leaders and citizens have protected our streams and water quality as well as the many other aspects of our environment that we so enjoy. It is appropriate at this time to express our appreciation to past and current leaders of our county for their diligent efforts that make it possible in 2005 to have the Virginia State Water Control Board honor our Hazel River with the Exceptional distinction. This distinction will be a strong recognition of Rappahannock County’s past and present leadership. Beverly Hunter Amissville Jackson District Will the reassessment be perfect? Thank you for “Wherefore Cometh the Taxman” in your October 27 issue. I hope every Rappahannock taxpayer has read it carefully. I personally would like to stress a few points made by the author, Bill Kossler, and add a few comments of my own.First, I appreciate that Mr. Kossler made clear that the current reassessment is required by the Commonwealth of Virginia, and that neither Blue Ridge Appraisal nor the Board of Assessors plays any role in setting the future tax rate. Our joint role is to make the reassessment as equitable as possible — a difficult job in the face of rising property values. State law requires that real estate assessments be closely consistent with actual sales prices. The tax rate will be set next year by the Board of Supervisors, which is where property owners should state their views about tax policy. (Since about 3/4 of Rappahannock land is in the “land use” tax system, the reassessment may turn out to have little impact on tax bills.) As reported, the Board of Assessors and Blue Ridge’s Mike Didawick have been spot-checking field work done by the paid staff. We have paid particular attention to assessments of properties owned by members of the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, the Board of Assessors, and other County officials. We have wrestled with sales records that seem to demonstrate that property values of neighboring properties can differ markedly, while similarly-sited properties can sell for similar mices wherever they are located in Rappahannock County. Will the reassessment be perfect? We hope so. If readers think the reassessments they will eventually receive are inaccurate, we hope and expect they will utilize the formal appeals processes so well described by Mr. Kossler.

Individuals in the Commonwealth of . Virginia serve the community in which they live through participating in community activities, volunteering for local organizations or financially supporting a nonprofit entity. These contributions may sometimes go unnoticed by the larger public. However, these individuals and their donation of time and money are the lifeblood of nonprofit organizations throughout the area. In an effort to bring attention to and focus on the significant assistance individuals give to community-based organizations, National Philanthropy Day was instituted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals to be held each year on November 15. This special day is set aside to recognize individuals who donate their financial resources for the enrichment of the community and the world in which we live. The Lord Fairfax Community College Educational Foundation, like other nonprofit organizations, would not be able to change the lives of the individuals it serves without the generous donations and financial support of the citizens of the Commonw ealth. Helen Keller said it best: “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” National Philanthropy Day is significant, because it recognizes this motto. When individuals pull together to support a cause, their impact is much greater than if they were acting alone. To everyone who contributes to the Lord Fairfax Community College Educational Foundation or any other nonprofit organization in the area, thank you! Thank you for helping to make Virginia a better place to live. Thank you for helping others achieve their dreams. Thank you for giving of yourselves! Anne C.

Polling Rappahannock By Monty Tayloe Koppahonnock News Staff Writer This past Tuesday the Tappahannock News conducted in unscientific and informal poll of' the public on the upcoming lection. County residents were accosted at gas stations, post offices, and walking in the -treet, and asked about their noting plans. This survey is not intended as a forecast of the Caction, but as a brief illustra1 it m of how some of Rappahani lock votes, or at least how they respond to questions about voting. While 27 people were approached, only 14 of them turned out to be Rappahannock residents. Of these, three said they were not voting, two said they could not vote, presumably for legal reasons. Of the remaining people questioned, four said they would vote for Democratic candidates, and three said they would vote Republican, one w'as unsure. Notably, no't one respondent said they would split tickets. voting Republican for some posts and Democrat for others. Although some residents were willing to be identified and photographed speaking about voting, others asked to remain anonymous. The overwhelming majority of those approached were at least familiar with the election, and most seemed especially concerned with the races for governor and less so with the House of Delegates race. Despite this, not all of those askc J were planning on voting. “1 just don’t vote,” said Evelyn Thompson of Flint Hill. Jennifer Tumblm, of Washington, wasn’t sure that voting mattered. “I’m so poor, it doesn't matter how I vote. It’s going to come out the same," she explained. Even so, Tumblin does have a preference in the race for governor. “Officer Timbrook was shot thirty yards from my front door,” said Tumblm. speaking of the murdered Winchester police officer. Timbrook’s story and widow have been featured in commercials for the Jerry Kilgore Campaign attacking Democratic candidate Tim Kaine's stance on the death penalty. “I’m very much for the death penalty,” said Tumblin. “If I vote. I would lean towards Kilgore.” Tumblin was not alone in believing that policy issues and party affiliation were more important than the candidates' individual personalities, identifying their chosen candidates by party rather than name. “I’m planning to vote Democratic," said a Flint Hill woman. “I don’t think any of [the candidates | are that great,” said a Flint Hill man who asked not to be identified, “but I’m going straight Republican across the board.” Another Flint Hill resident demonstrated her focus on party affiliation when she said that she was planning to “vote for Gilmore," the Republican who preceded our currei, 1 governor. However, she quickly realized her slip, and clarified that she meant Kilgore. In contrast, some Rappahannock residents focused more on the candidates and less on Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Monty Taytoe UNDECIDED: Rick Nawrocki is still deciding which candidates to vote far. their platform. “I’m going to vote for Kaine and the one with the name that’s hard to say. . . Blubaugh. Kilgore? I just can’t do that,” said Jeff Hazel of Castleton. “They come up with these off the wall candidates. He’s too far right. I feel like when candidates are just a little far right, they usually win.” Dorothy Hawkins of Washington tries to ignore party affiliation all together. “I’m not Republican, Independent, or Democrat.

Representatives from grades four through ten gave brief remarks to the student body on the significance of the school’s honor code, which was established to promote the development of personal integrity and mutual trust among studehts. Each student then took the pledge, “As a Wakefield Country Day School student, 1 understand that I am expected to behave with honor and honesty at all times. I pledge'to abide by all the tenets of the Honor Code. I shall not lie, cheat, steal or show disrespect for the property of others; nor shall I tolerate those who do. I understand and acknowledge as just the punishments for violations against the code.” Students also were given an update from WCDS parent Alaina Cugnon on how funds they had raised last year for Thailand Tsunami Relief were specifically used to improve the fives of 128 families in one small fishing village who had suffered total devastation to their homes and livelihoods. A video was shown of the village in its rebuilding process, allowing students to see firsthand the results of their efforts, and to feel a personal connection to the families. Head of School Kathleen Grove congratulated senior, Dorian Matthews on his recent achievement of the rank of Eagle Scout. Dorian joins the ranks of a select-group of boy scouts (only about 4% of the total membership) who, since 1911, have, earned this highest advancement rank in scouting. In order to attain the rank of Eagle Scout, Dorian was required to fulfill specific requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills, while advancing through the various scout ranks: Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and finally Eagle. He earned over 21 merit badges, in areas that included First Aid, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Communications, Environmental Science, Personal Fitness, Personal Management, Camping, and Family Life. A talented wood-working artisan, Dorian chose as his eagle scout project (requiring a minimum of 80 hours - to which he devoted over 120) the planning, design, and creation by his local scout troop of the beautiful sign that graces the north and south entrances to the town of Flint Hill on Route 522. Last year, over 3,000 taxpayers saved millions of dollars by paying their Virginia income taxes with Land Preservation Tax Credits. The savings result from buying the credits at less than their full tax paying value. For instance, $5,000 of tax credits can be purchased for $4,000 saving you $1,000 when you pay your Virginia income tax.

Families from the School and the Rappahannock Community gathered to watch as Hearthstone parents and teachers acted out The Princess and the Pea, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Rapunzel, Peter Pan, Cinderella and The Fisherman 's Wife. The Rappahannock 4H Performing Arts Group also performed Hansel & Gretel with a fun and unique twist (it was the parents who ran off and got caught by the witch, and not the children). Lyt Wood, dressed as the Green Man, led the audience to each fairytale with his talented recorder playing. Children received healthy and fun treats after each performance, ranging from home baked cookies to packets of pumpkin seeds for planting in 2006.

Festival under autumn skies By Jan Clatterbuck Rappahannock News StalT Writer Apples are falling along with the temperatures, and the leaves are starting to color the mountainsides. The Blue Ridge Mountains were outlined against the October sky and the air was crisp at the Sperryville Fire Department Fall Festival last Saturday at the Sperryville fire house. The event was sponsored by tne Sperryville Fire Department Auxiliary. For locals and davtrippers, it was a splendid opportunity to shop from a colorful array of craft and specialty items and enjoy the fresh air, good food and community atmosphere. A windy Saturday didn’t keep residents and visitors from browsing the booths. There were about 13 vendors displaying wares. One of the vendors that caught my eye was the Second Time Around booth, manned by Debbie Brown from Tiger .Valley. Brown had some of ner decorative painting and custom reproductions that must have been long hours in the making. WAGON RIDES: Danny Baldwin of Sperryville gave the children an extraordinary ride. Danny Baldwin of Sperryville took the kids on a wagonride, pulling them with a Big John Deere tractor all around the fire house. There were smiles on the children’s faces. It was enough to make grownups wish they weren’t too old to catch a ride! Chrissy Jenkins of Etlan gave face painting and temporary tattoos- unique and exceptional artwork which made them feel important and special. It was not only fantastic to have your face painted, but also exciting to watch. Hot dogs, chili and candy apples coming up The aroma of hamburgers, hot dogs and chili served by Linda Baldwin, Michelle Jenkins and Chrissy Jenkins, welcomed visitors. These ladies worked hard. As the saying goes: “In Washington State, they grow apples for looks, in Rappahannock, we grow 'em for taste”! Fresh candy apples fitted the season deliciously. Music was provided by The Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan Clattertuck FACE FUN: Chrissy Jenkins of Etlan painting Waverly Yowell’s face. Faith Yowell looks on.

Cub Scouts hosted third annual pancake breakfast By Jax Clatterbuck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Cub Scout Pack 123 had their third annual pancake breakfast fund raiser on Saturday, October 22 from 7-11 a.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School cafeteria. It was a sumptuous breakfast. Parents had clearly outdone themselves as they decked plates with hot pancakes, eggs, bacon, omelets, biscuits and gravy, and sausage. Coffee, tea, milk and juice was also available. At $6 for adults, children 4-12 for $4 and children under three free, it was a deal not to pass up. Dan Bailey, Cub Master Pack 123 said he would like to ‘thank the supporters and all the parents that gave a hand in making this event a success”. Almost everything served was donated by local businesses and individuals. The businesses that made contributions were: Sunnyside Market, Central Coffee Roasters, The Comer Store, The Country Cafe, Giant Foods-Warrenton, Safeway-Warrenton, and Martins supermarket in Front Royal. There were also many contributions from individuals and our “Pack Family”. “We had a very successful fundraiser and are looking forward to keeping this annual tradition going for many years” said Bailey.

Another matriarch has passed on I am sony to report that on Wednesday, the 26th of October, Alice Pullen passed on to a better place. Alice and Wade Pullen were always welcome guests in our home when I was growing up. Wade and my Dad, Moffett, were double first cousins, and, as Dad was an only child, there were times they were almost like brothers. My Mother worked hard in our home, keeping everybody else happy and raising a big family. But, the light would sparkle in her eyes when Alice and Wade and the girls were coming for a visit. Two great ladies named Alice Alice and Mom were close. If Mom ever had a sick day, and there weren’t many of them, Alice Pullen - was the first one there to see what needed to be done. Mom was only about 7 years older than Alice, and although they were good friends Alice mostly referred to Mom as Mrs. Brady. And, funny thing, when Alice talked to my Dad she generally called him Mr. Brady, but not all the time. My father liked to tell stories, and when he did, he often embellished them a bit, for the sake of a good story. When Alice and Wade were there and Dad Flint Hill Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com would tell one of his stories, Alice would look at him, and stifling a grin or a chuckle, sr j would say rather smartly, “Now, Moffett, you know better than that.” A hard worker Some of you will remember when the Aileen plant came to town. We called it the sewing factory. Alice Pullen was there ready and waiting for a job when the doors opened. And, if memory serves, was there until retirement age. No one ever said Alice Pullen wasn’t a hard worker. She had been a faithful, hard working member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the fire department here in Flint Hill since its inception. And this year, when the carnival was held, Alice was there in the cook tent every night. The community service organizations that Alice worked with over the years are too numerous to list. She made it to church at ESTATE AUCTION Sunday, November 6, 2005 • 12:30 PM Tillett’s Auction Barn. Ashburn, VA Directions: From Leesburg.

In her later years, the unselfish, tireless efforts of a loving family made these things possible. The rhythm of the rain One of my favorite tales that was told on Alice . . . and in truth, I don’t know if it actually happened . . . was when they moved to the house on 522 in what we called Pullentown, ■bout 2 miles south of Flint Hill When they moved there, the roof of the house was asbestos and tar shingles. Apparently, where Alice and Wade lived before that, the house had a tin roof. It was always said that the first time there was a big rain, Alice got one of her galvanized wash tubs and turned it upside down under the edge of the roof near her bedroom, so she could hear the rain. If you have ever slept under a tin roof during a summer rain shower, you know that Alice had a very good idea. Alice Pullen lived to be 93 years of age; Mom made it to 94. The impact these two wonderful women left on their families and on so many others, not by who they were or what they said, but by the way they lived their lives will, thankfully, be felt for many generations that come after them.

Mrs. Pullen was widely recognized for her tall bearing and large flowered hats. But she is remembered most affectionately by the community of Flint Hill because of her extraordinary devotion and hard work with the Ladies Auxiliary of the Flint Hill Fire Company. She in fact helped organize the Flint Hill fire and rescue service in 1954. According to her daughter, Mary Frances Bywaters of Flint Hill, Mrs. Pullen was buried with her new pink Easter hat with big flowers as she wished. In a typical picture, Mrs. Pullen appears here (left, front row) in one of her many large hats with members of the Ladies Auxiliary at the fire company’s 50th anniversary in April, 2004. Bear killed with crossbow When Chris Hetzer and his friend Mark Harper went hunting in the Boston area Friday morning, they met up with some large company, a big black bear. Harper killed the bear with a crossbow and had to use a four wheeler to get the animal to the road. There, Harper and some friends loaded the bear into a truck and headed for Culpeper and to the County Farm Service, where the bear was weighed, tipping the scales at 540 pounds. Harper’s plans are to have a taxidermist preserve the bear, and it sure will be something to see, a memory in years to come. Boston remains on the map! Condolences are extended to the family of Mr. Fred Busewell, a former resident of our area who passed away at Culpeper Baptist Retirement Community on Thursday. Sympathy is extended to Mark Eagle and his family here in Boston upon the passing of his mother, Mrs. Margaret Eagle, which occurred at her residence in Madison on Saturday. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Trenton who recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with the party being held at their home on Dutch Hollow Road. Mr. and Mrs. Jake Robinson have sold their house on Castleton Ford Road and plans are to move to Florida in the future. Prayers go out for Mrs. Ona Smith, a surgical patient in Fairfax Hospital. Come out and join friends and help support the Castleton Fire and Rescue Department, as they meet for their shooting matches on Friday evenings.

When you have diabetes, your body either produces too much insulin or is unable to use its own insulin to breakdown sugar and starches. This causes sugar to build up in your body which leads to life threatening consequences. There are several types of Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs in children and young adults and normally results in life-long insulin dependency, 'type 2 dia betes occurs in adults who usually have a family history of diabetes, who are overweight or physically inactive. Type 2 diabetics can usually control their diabetes with medication and by participating in a nutritional program. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that only occurs in pregnant women. If it goes untreated it can cause significant problems for the mother and unborn child. Many people do not realize they have diabetes.

That’s what everyone keeps telling me about writing for the paper pretty much everywhere I go these days. I was forced to stop writing due to packing up the old house early. We just didn’t know for sure when we’d have to move out and then my family and I had to stay over in Warren County for about 4 weeks waiting for our house to be finished. We were all glad to get back over here and it couldn’t have been any sooner either. But then the unpacking monster emerged and almost finished me off. It was a close fight what with him having help from my wife and all, but in the end I was able to fend them off, sort of. Anyway this all adds up to several weeks when I just couldn’t write but for all of those who keep reminding me how much you enjoyed it, “here goes”: I’ve been out of the loop up here for a little bit so I’m kind of short on goings on, but then again that’s one of the reasons I love it here - “there ain’t much going nn”. ’ We all got a taste of what’s to come the other week when there was roughly an inch of snow on the ground, a little more here and a little less there.

Photo courtesy of The Theatre ‘Federal Jazz Commission’ Jazz it up at The Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, November 12 the popular classic jazz band known as the Federal Jazz Commission returns to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia with New Orleans and Dixieland style music. The concert begins at 8 p.m. The band’s principal focus is on music of the 1920s, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong. Its repertoire includes rags, stomps, marches, blues, cakewalks and more. Leader Marty Frankel, who plays the cornet, has been with the band since 1978, just two years after its inception. Marty is joined by fellow members of the FJC Henning Hoehne, who plays clarinet and sax, trombonist Steve Welch, bassist Tom Gray, and drummer Sonny McGowan. Despite its inspired name, the Federal Jazz Commission lacks any affiliation with the federal government. It has performed for most of the major institutions in Washington, D.C., including the White House, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the Smithsonian Institution, the Kennedy Center and several foreign embassies. The FJC also performs at jazz festivals, such as the Suncoast Dixieland Jazz Classic in Clearwater Beach, Florida, where it will be going shortly after performing in Little Washington at the Theatre. Speaking for the Federal Jazz Commission, Mary Frankel said, “we’re very pleased to have been invited back for our third visit to the Theatre. Of the many places where we’ve performed, the Theatre remains one of our favorites. The setting is perfect for our music, and the enthusiasm of the audience makes it a special occasion for us.” Tickets for the performance on November 12 are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. For reservations, or to obtain a copy of the Theatre’s fall schedule, phone (540) 675-1253 or send email to TheatreVA@aol.com. Smithsonian at Little Washington Music of Johann Sebastian Bach for cello and harpsichord comes to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia this Saturday, November 5.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. For reservations and information, phone 675-1253 or email TheatreVA@aol.com. RAAC Library Series presents Merry Foresta and Andy Grundberg By Sallie Morgan Special to the Rappahannock News On Friday, November 11 starting at 8 p.m., the Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) Library Series is pleased to welcome back Merry Foresta and Andy Grundberg, who share not only a life together, a farm near Old Rag, and a home in Washington D.C., but also share parallel careers as curators and writers on photography. The couple recently volunteered their time to serve as jurors for the group art show which will be the centerpiece of RAAC’s Artists of Rappahannock festival this weekend (November 5 and 6). At the library on Nov. 11, Foresta and Grundberg will draw on their backgrounds in American and contemporary art to present “The Salon, the Gallery and the Firehouse,” perspectives on art shows, jurying, and artists in Rappahannock in particular. Foresta, Director of the Smithsonian Photography Initiative, organized the landscape exhibition “Between Home and Heaven” for the Smithsonian American Art Must..m, as well as more recent exhibitions on the history of American photography. Grundberg, a former critic for the New York Times, is author of “Crisis of the Real: Writings on Photography” since 1974 and the curator of the traveling exhibition “In Response to Place: Photographs from The Nature Conservancy’s Last Great Places.” He is also Chair of the Photography Department at the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Foresta and Grundberg spoke to an overflow crowd at RAAC Library series in 2002, using the photographs of artists from Ansel Adams to William Wegman to explore the relationship between art and nature in recent landscape photographs. The Artists of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Tour will be held on Saturday and Sunday, November 5 and 6. Tour headquarters and the Group Show will be housed at the Washington Fire Hall , from 10 am to ! pm both days. For more information visit www.raac.org. Garden Club taking orders for Christmas The Rappahannock County Garden Club is taking orders for its 2005 Christmas Greens. This year the club is offering two styles of decorated wreaths, Colonial Christmas and Rappahannock Holidays for $75, plain boxwood wreaths for $25, mixed green wreaths for $20, decorated swags at $25, table centerpieces at $30 and garland at $4 per foot. All products are hand made by garden club members and feature the freshest local greens and natural decoration.

The Greens Workshop has been an ongoing effort for over 27 years. Orders should be placed no later than November 28. Those wishing to place an order, or to obtain further information may call Lois Kerchner at (540) 675-3905 or via email at whitcairn® aol.com All orders will be available for pick up at the Washington Fire Hall on December 7th. Gap From Page All Luckily that isn’t the case here and the department will supply the gear, pager and training for those willing to step forward and “become heroes”. I know it sounds a little funny referring to the local volunteer firemen as heroes but if you’ll stop and think about it, they sire exactly that. These men and women will rush to a fire or accident whenever they are able (remember, they’re volunteers which means they have other jobs and their families) and they will risk their lives to save yours. You may disregard their risk, but how many of you would be willing go into a house that’s on fire with only a 30 minutes (if your lucky) supply of air to save a person you don’t even know? As is always the case in volunteer departments, they are looking for new members to lend a helping hand. If you don’t want to fight fires, there’s always help need- v ed at fundraisers or the administrative side of running a fire department. Maybe you want to help but don’t—well let’s be frank, maybe you don’t like someone who is there already. It’s a lesson I had to learn, one of thousands my wife says I need to learn. But you need to get out there and help because if that person is willing work toward a common good then you should be too. It’s just like an old gentleman at the local store once told me; “it’s a God given right to be able to vote, and if you don’t get out there and vote then you have no right to stand around and complain about who is running things”. What that means is just what I tiy to teach my children; that if you won’t help make something work then you have no right to complain when it doesn’t, and also if you don’t like the way something works you need to get in there and fix it. 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Automatic, Silver, 3.4 liter 6 Cyl., SUV 4x4, Miles 9,779 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE 1500 Z71 Automatic with Overdrive, Dark Green Metallic, Tan/Neutral, 5.3 liter. 8 Cyl., SUV.

As such, each year the Tbwn of Washington plays host to many of the county’s trick ‘n treaters. This year was no exception as crowds of goblins, princesses and sword wielding masqueraders roamed Main Street in search of sweets. Local business owners joined in the fun.

Another annual event is the Inn at Little Washington’s pumpkin carving contest for their employees. Clever hands crafted pumpkin creations that ranged from grizzly to glamorous. One intricately carved carriage was definitely Cinderella inspired. White pumpkins turned to a feathered swan and distinguished snowman while some gnarly squash morphed into an alligator.

Donors offer amazing vacation possibilities On Saturday, November 12 at 5:30 p.m., the doors will open at the Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue for the 10th Annual Fall Auction for the Child Care and Learning Center. ) The proceeds from this benefit support scholarships for CCLC and will also help to fund the roof replacement for the gym at the Washington School that houses the CCLC After School Club. The $25 entrance fee will help to cover the cost of the lavish buffet spread, with wine and beer included. “We have some new and exciting things at this year’s auction,” reported Amy Burnett, co-chair of the CCLC event with Debbie Donehey. “We are very excited about Kathy Shumate, our new auctioneer from Culpeper, who is donating her services to help us. In addition to her auctioneering business, Mrs. Shumate has lots of experience calling auctions for many charities in the Northern Virginia area. We are so pleased that she is allowing us to use her web site to advertise some of our auction offerings! Be sure to look that up at kathyshumateauctions.com.” Vacation opportunities Along with incredible art, antiques, rugs, silver, and collectibles, this year’s, auction will feature three amazing vacation opportunities. Dean Morehouse — former CCLC Board member and former mayor of Washington, Virginia - and his wife Linda are donating a vacation home of theirs in Myrtle Beach for a week. This town-home is designer- furnished, has 3 bedrooms and 3 Yi bathrooms, and is located 1 block from the beach and 1 block from the boardwalk. This would be an ideal location for a family holiday, as there are lots of things to do for children of all ages at Myrtle Beach. The Morehouses are also donating their one-bedroom condo on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, for a week-long romantic getaway. This Sapphire Beach condo has a large deck overlooking the sandy beach with beautiful palm trees and views out over Sapphire Bay to the other islands. There is a great snorkeling reef at the beach, and access to a large swimming pool and bar area. There is a dining room with a lavish breakfast buffet every morning. launch and dinner is also available in the dining room, but it would be a shame not to explore some of the restaurants in the Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie! Louise Goddard, current CCLC Board member, has convinced her mother to donate her 3-bedroom ski house in Park City, Utah for a week. - This wonderful house is located in Old Town and is in walking distance to all the shops and restaurants as well as within walking distance (two short blocks) to the town lift for Park City Mountain Resort. It is also a short r ,ve to Deer Valley Resort and The Canyons. Other ski i "as nearby are Alta and Snowbird. The house is available only for the 2005-6 ski season, (ulackout dates January 19 to 29 and President’s weekend). “We are so pleased with the wonderful donations we have for this year’s auction,” said Rose Ann Sharp, Exec. Director of CCLC. “I am continually humbled by the staggering generosity of donors who support our charity for children. I hope we will have the biggest turn-out ever for our 10th Auction.

She See DEATHS, Page B5 r Inspiring; TiwiigfiU by Randy Minter HEBREW INSCRIPTIONS Genealogists may take particular interest in the tombstones found in Jewish cemeteries. Not only do their Hebrew inscriptions contain the date of death and, sometimes, the deceased's age or date of birth, but they also are likely to include the name of the deceased’s father. This information enables interested parties to go back a generation. The dates inscribed on Hebrew headstones are representative of the Jewish calendar, which starts its year one with the Creation of the World. This was probably calculated by the patriarch Hillel II, who arrived at the age of the world by computing the literal ages of biblical characters and other biblical events to draw up a Calendar that begins 3,760 years before the Christian calendar.
