D Z '■j u o J1 2 w t* W O o -u fO 127th Year ... No. 47 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2005 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 cents Local attorney convicted on appeal Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Circuit Court was crowded with witnesses and jurors Friday as local attorney David L. Konick lost his appeal. Konick was on trial for obscene phone harassment charges, which stemmed from a phone call he made to Combined District Court Clerk Patricia M. Davis last May. As Konick and Davis were the only witnesses to the actual phone call, both defense and prosecution pursued a “character” based strategy of calling numerous witnesses to testify on the reputations of the caller and callee. “Only two people were on the call. It’s a “he said-she said’ situation,” said Konick’s attorney J. Casey Struckmann. The defense strategy was altered just before the trial started by Judge Frank A Hoss Jr. “Evidence has to be related to the relationship between Konick and Davis,” said Hoss. Konick was first convicted of the charge in the Rappahannock county General District Court last August, but appealed that conviction to the Circuit Court. The jury of four women and three men came back with a guilty verdict for Konick’s second trial after about an hour of deliberation, sentencing him to pay a $2,000 fine. After briefly consulting with his client, Struckmann told Judge Hoss that “it is likely that the conviction will be appealed.” Bad call The charges originate in a phone call Konick made to Davis while she was at work at the Rappahannock County Courthouse in Washington on the morning of May 4. Both Konick and Davis testified that Konick called pretending jokingly to be interested in a job position as a deputy clerk. Davis and Konick have known each other professionally in the Rappahannock legal community for more than 20 years, and both have admitted that prior to this incident exchanges between them were often characterized by jokes and mutual “banter”. According to Davis, after asking about the position Konick made an explicit suggestion to her over the phone. Davis testified that she then Meetings & Notices • The BZA will not meet on November 23.

Konick’s version of the conversation differs. He testified that while he had intentionally used sexual innuendo in his phone conversation, it had not involved obscene language and had been intended in a joking rather than offensive manner. Konick also maintains that this kind of innuendo was not out of character for his relationship with Davis, while she testified that there had never been a sexual context in their banter. Davis has testified in the past that playful insults about her Italian ancestry and Konick’s Jewish ethnicity were common between them. Reputation Because of the unverifiable conflicting testimony of the only people actually involved in the phone call, both Struckmann and prosecuting attorney John T. Hennessy relied heavily on the testimony of character witnesses to convince the jury of their respective clients’ reputation for truth. Because both Davis and Konick are so heavily involved in the legal community, many of the witnesses called were prominent figures in local government. Witnesses for Konick included Rappahannock Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins, Deputy Commissioner Betsy Murray, and retired Washington Postmaster Carolyn Miller. Prosecutor Hennessy called retired Judge Raynor Snead,Rappahannock County Circuit Clerk Diane Bruce, and Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. For the most part, the testimony of the witnesses was confined to positive statements about the reputation for honesty of whichever side had called them, defense witnesses speaking about Konick’s reputation for telling the truth and prosecution witnesses affirming Davis’ reputation. However, there were exceptions. After testifying to David Konick’s good reputation for telling the truth, Postmaster Miller said that Davis’ reputation for truth “is not a good one”. The defense’s own witness, Beverly Atkins, testified See ATTORNEY, Page A3 iM.i... .a ^-1 ■... ■■ . •■ ' * ■ Photo by Ann Spieker PANTHER PRIDE: Matt Yonkey and members of the Rappahannock County High School band will provide big holiday sound for parade goers. 6 Christmas in Little Washington’ heralds the holidays By Anita L.

Framing the issue By Bill Kossler Rappahannock News Staff Writer Peter and Catherine Salvano’s application for rezoning has occupied the attention of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission for the last three months. The Salvanos want to have the house on the east comer of the intersection of the Fodderstack and Route 522 in Flint Hill changed from Village Residential to Village Commercial zoning. They plan to open a shop selling gifts, art and framing and they already have a similar store in Gainesville. Contrary to initial expectations, the Salvanos said the Flint Hill building would also be their residence if the rezoning is approved. Phil Irwin, Dwight Mathews, Bob Massey, Larry Jensen and other residents of Flint Hill spoke in opposition to the rezoning, as did several residents of other parts of the county. Opponents objected that the intersection was troublesome now, and should not have more traffic, that business should be clustered together, not leapfrogged here and there in the village and that the shop would cause noise and parking problems and alter the character of the village. County Administrator John McCarthy did not explicitly endorse the rezomng, but he noted the shop did not go against existing planning for the village and commented: “One of the Faustian bargains in zoning is that if you say “not out here” often you have to say, ‘okay here’” Commissioner Thomas F. Junk concurred: “McCarthy said we have to have places we put our businesses if w are going to have other areas undeveloped. I don’t see any reason to deny on the basis of the Comprehensive Plan.

Many of Washington's businesses will be having Open Houses that afternoon where the public is invited in for some afternoon treats and a chance to shop, meet local business owners and soak up holiday cheer. The Open Houses will run during a 2-4 p.m. time frame. Among those hosting Open Houses are: Geneva Welch, R.H.

Christmas in Little Washington has been in the planning^ stages for several months. Sponsored by the Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association, the members felt that it would not only be a fun event to hold but a way to revitalize the Tbwn of Washington during the Christmas season by bringing in residents from all parts of the county to kick-off the holidays with a parade. “We’re starting small this year,” said Diane MacPherson who is a member of the Christmas Committee. “We want to see how it goes. If it does well, then we can plan an even larger parade next year.” Keep in mind that if the weather turns nasty, the parade will have to be canceled but plans are still in place for children to visit with Santa and the Open Houses will take place on schedule as well as the events at the Washington Baptist Church The Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association has been recently formed to encourage tourism while preserving the historical and cultural character of the Town of Washington. Comprised of primarily Washington owned businesses, the group meets monthly. For more information, contact Michelle Schwartz at (540) 675-3207 or Diane MacPherson at (.540) 675-3757. Biohoustic From Page A2 “So much of it is about pushing through the door,” said Gross. “It’s about validation, making changes in your life and taking some risks to get there.” Gross looks forward to setting up shop. He’ll have an office above the store and can already feel the effect that “coming to the country” is going to do for him and for his clients. Speaking of a change “How can I be of service,” beamed Caren Wilson who will also be joining Lee and Gross at The Bioholistic Store. Wilson, who hails from California, has recently moved to Culpeper and on one of her outings discovered Lee and her line of products. It was mutual admiration from the beginning. Wilson combines art and science to help clients with their skincare treatments. “When I do initial assessments with people, I want to know about their lifestyles and what kinds of stresses they are dealing with,” said Wilson. “The skin speaks to that, it’s telling you something about how you are living and what you are eating or should be.” “I give my clients options to help them help themselves. Sometimes there are things that you can do to improve the quality of your skin that doesn’t require chemicals..there are natural treatments.” “This place has such good karma,” said Wilson who, like Gross, will have space above the store where she Can meet with clients and help them “take care of themselves.” In addition to Gross and Wilson, Lee wants the community to know that she has an herbalist on board as well - Dawn Story who will be at the Open House. Rappahannock Respite Lee is visibly thrilled to have these new faces join her as she expands her business. Being a visionary when it comes to seeing ahead the place where people can be, Lee sees Rappahannock County as providing a future site for wellness weekends. “I’m sure that if we connected with some of the bed and Attorney From Page A1 that Konick “sometimes tells a little bit more truth than he should.” Additional evidence Prior to the beginning of the trial Hennessy and Struckmann had lengthy discussions with Judge Hoss about what evidence was admissible. Defense attorney Struckmann filed a motion to limit “past bad acts”, primarily because of Konick’s involvement in the destruction of evidence relating to a Rappahannock County murder trial in 1983. Records from that case was cited as particularly damning to Konick the first time he went to court for the May 4 phone call. Judge Hoss allowed Struckmann’s motion, and limited evidence from the defense. The defense attorney had numerous witnesses intended to show that Davis had a habit of using profanity and a reputation for off- color comments, but Judge Hoss’ ruling made that evidence inadmissible. “In my opinion the recipient’s language habits are not relevant, and that’s how I’m going to rule” said Hoss.” It is expected that the Konick will appeal the case based the unheard evidence. “It’s highly unfortunate that a great deal of evidence concerning the complaining witness’ long history of using profanity and vulgar language in the clerk’s office, as well as her racial and ethnic slurs directed towards me and others was all excluded from the trial. Had the testimony of a number of witnesses been admitted the outcome would likely have been different.” Konick told the Rappahannock News after the trial. Davis declined to comment. Email the reporter at mtayloe@ti mespapers. com Planning From Page A1 On the contrary, it is a perfect example of something that fits precisely.” The Commission voted to pass the request with Commissioner Alex Sharp dissenting. “I came basically in support, and am usually fairly skeptical of neighbor complaints, they complain about most anything. But I’m listening and they seem to be well thought out. I don’t think I’m better situated than the folks in Flint Hill...” said Sharp. The Salvano’s request will now go to the Board of Supervisors for final approval. Sewer code hearings held In October the Planning Commission proposed changing the zoning axle to define the circumstances under which a , property owner could be allowed to operate a private sewage treatment facility rather than a septic tank and field. On November 16 the Commission held public hearings and on December 5 the Board of Supervisors will have a final public hearing on the proposal. The change would limit approval to cases where a conventional system at an existing residence no longer works. The resolution codifies the position the Commission and BOS took when turning down a request for a private sewage % treatment system in new construction this past summer. Bill Kossler can be reached at bkossler@timespapers.com breakfasts that we could hold therapy weekends for people to get away from the city, come to the country, and be refreshed and energized,” remarked Lee. “We have so much to offer,” continued Lee, “families could come, the children could go to nature or swim camps and the adults could take in therapy sessions or have facials or hike in the mountains. At the end of the day, they could come back to good meals and a comfortable place to stay.” Engram It comes as no surprise that Lee’s sensitivity to the spiritual realm has invited visits from a ghost that she calls Engram. “I’ve been ghosted,” Lee laughed as she recalled evenings when rooms rumbled and doors slammed. Lee plans a little “ghost story” session at her Open House that spirit lovers won’t want to miss.

Brown Captain The Rappahannock County Sheriff s Office will be sponsoring our TENTH annual "Shop with a Deputy" program this Christmas season for some of the county's most needy citizens. 3he date for this year’s program will be December 17th, 2005 With the holiday season upon us. it is our goal to make Christmas a very special time for children who would miss out on some holiday fun due to circumstances beyond the families financial control. Your Rappahannock County Sheriff s Office, in conjunction with other county representatives, will select children whose families have little or no funds for the Christmas Holidays. Once the participating children are selected, the parents are contacted for their approval and permission for their child to attend. The children will meet at the Sheriffs Office where they will be paired up with a uniformed officer who will assist the children with their purchases. The children will then be driven to K-Mart in Front Royal, where they can purchase a $ 100 worth of merchandise for themselves or their families. Once the shopping is completed, the children will have an opportunity to eat breakfast with the officers and visit with Santa Claus. While the children eat breakfast volunteers wrap the presents the children selected. After breakfast and some fun entertainment, the children will receive their wrapped presents and a food basket for each family. This program has been an incredible success the last nine years, and we hope to make it even better this year. We are asking you. the private citizens and business owners, to help us by sponsoring a child. You can do so by sending a tax-deductible contribution to "Shop with a Deputy”. All contributions will go toward the enrichment of our Rappahannock County children’s lives. The Rappahannock County Sheriff s Office is verv excited about this project- we hope to involve at least 80 children this year. With your help and support we know this program will continue to be an annual event that is a huge success.

We'll be feasting sumptuously whether slaving in the kitchen is involved or someone else slaving in a restaurant kitchen . We will be serving or being served, prayers may be said and some families may take turns going around the table and verbalizing the many reasons they have to be thankful for their lives. When the last bits of stuffing are stuffed away in a thousand stomachs and the crumbs from a myriad of pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies have been swept from the tablecloth, there will be a countywide sign of contentment that will echo gently through the surrounding hills dulling the senses into a sweet slumber. For most of us, life is good. But as we prepare to enter the last month of the year with more festivities ahead, it would be worthy of our contentment to think of those who are not able to share in life’s fickle distribution of wealth and happiness. There is no reason to recount in detail the devastation that a domino-like series of natural disasters has plagued our country of late. Social illnesses have not abated leaving a host of our countrymen low on money and low on hope. We have troops stationed all around the world supporting us in causes that are real and some thought to be imagined. 1 here are also many programs that have been started to preserve and protect Rappahannock’s scenic beauty, its artists and musicians, to protect and support its elderly and youth. Residents of this county have proved themselves to he generous time and time again. Digging deep is something that seems to come naturally to a county that is blessed in many ways. Shop with a Deputy is soliciting funds now to enable county deputies to give a boost to families. Speaking of boosting, the two county boards are putting their collective creative energies together to make an upgraded football/track/soccer field with lights and bleachers a “can do” project for the public school system in Rappahannock County. Perhaps balancing the county coffers with county sponsorship from private folks and organizations will make their plans a reality. Building campaigns and fund raisers have a way of taking on a life of their own and making things happen that may have been discounted as impossible. The human spirit is a mighty factor. It’s like the energizer bunny - it just keeps going and going. As we come away from this Thanksgiving table of plenty hopefully refreshed, rested and ready to take on December, let’s keep in mind that all of our bodies, minds and souls need to be fed and nourished so that together we can do great things. Human potential is a scary and wonderful force. When fed properly, it gains strength and there is no limit to what can be done. It’s something to be thankful for. Stay which course? It occurs to me that in his vow “to stay the course”, President Bush may be referring to some of the auxiliary 'benefits’ that were announced at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq. Among '.hem was a new United "’•lates Embassy to be built in U.'ghdacL It was to be the largest United States Embassy in the world. Also, 17 military airfields were to be built in scattered locations all over Iraq. Do we know if these projects are ongoing? Started? Finished? In the budget9 Ruth Cotterill Richards , Sperry ville Letters Bush’s critics are the liars Congressman Murtha: “O emper Fidelis”: “Always U Faithful”. I want to believe that your speech last week was the considered, rational analysis of a friend to our servicemen (I am retired, but two of my brothers are still active in combat arms), which sought the right thing to do for our country and our armed forces. I regret that many Republicans have chosen to respond with personal, ad hominem attacks, instead of examining your statements on their merits. I, and you, I am sure, also know that their rebuttals are motivated by the systematic ad hominem attacks by the Democratic Party and the media on our President, which your remarks fueled. I know that when Teddy Kennedy accuses President Bush of lying, he is himself lying for political advantage, or else simple to a degree not credible. I recall the speech where President Bush discussed the “imminent threat” of Iraq: what he said was that September 11th had demonstrated that we could not wait until a threat was imminent. I know that when the administration presented their case for going into Iraq, the whole world “knew” Sadam had WMD; it was a component of the administration’s argument, but an honest one, not a “lie to deceive the American public.” I personally believe that Saddam’s WMD program, funded by Oil-for-Food abuse and technologically cultivated to portability by ten years of playing games with U.N. Weapons Inspectors, is in Syria. We probably know that, but do not say it because the administration understands that until it could be irrefutably proven to partisan demagogues (if then), the result will only be more accusations of deception. Hitler’s Propaganda Minister said that a lie repeated loud and often enough will be believed, and our media and the Democratic Party are exercising that theory. Your conclusions, unfortunately, align themselves with those propaganda efforts; it is reasonable, even if it is untrue, to conclude that your remarks are the consequence of your party affiliation rather than your logic. I wish we could have a reasoned discourse on the whether our troops should remain in Iraq. I would like to hear your responses to arguments that A1 Quaeda is now meeting us on Iraqi battlefields instead of New York streets, and we are slowly but inexorably defeating them. And the huge propaganda advantage they would gain by “defeating” the Great Satan. I would like to know how you envision the future of Iraq, the Middle East, and the Islamo-fascist movement, if we pull our troops out on a timetable that A1 Zarkawi can patiently watch, counting down as easily as Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore can. But I will have no opportunity to hear your arguments, because the cacophony of distortions to attack the Republican President will drown out any reasonable discourse; a cacophony you have unfortunately amplified. I was among those reluctant for the U.S. to invade Iraq, specifically because I do not believe we can police the whole world and because our troops, as you observe, would become proximate targets for suicidal wackos. But I am weary of the media nightly dreaming up more ways to report the death toll to bolster their thinly-veiled anti-war, anti-Republican sentiments. (We have, in “reverent” silence, photos of the slain; we have the drumbeat of the statistics of how many died today, this week, this month, “The 2000th”, since the invasion completed, since the war began, etc..) I am more weary of listening to transparent politically-motivated attacks, which our “responsible” media will only report “evenly, to be bipartisan”, instead of-examining. I would prefer to raise the entire discourse to an objective consideration of the FACT of where we are now, and the merits of the options open to us, rather than blind attack OR defense of current policies. But, Congressman, I do not believe you have furthered that discourse by your untimely, and incomplete, remarks. I do not believe a political solution, that is, one inspired by gain for either the Republican or the’Democratic parties, will serve this country well in the long or the short term. Robert Klaus Amissville Unfair assessment Let’s set the record straight on Bob Dennis’s statements. Mr. Dennis, as chairman of the Board of Assessors, stated that the BOA had reviewed all assessments on the BOS, BOA, Planning Commission and all elected and appointed officials. This means that the BOA reviewed properties owned not only by the above citizens, but also the Commissioner of Revenue, the Clerk of the Court, Treasurer, School Board Members, Sheriff and Commonwealth’s Attorney. I was shocked that the BOA would red flag any particular group of citizens to test the validity of the assessments. Furthermore, if they want ed to test the accuracy of the assessments, a random sample of every 10^“ or 15™1 property would be correct. The article never stated whether any assessments were changed based upon this review, which meant that these property owners, because they were either elected or appoiiited officials in Rappahannock County, were denied the right to know their original assessment. Now Mr. Dennis has stated that no properties were changed. However, ' changes are possible with a stroke of the keyboard with no paper trail. The BOA serves at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors, and their job is to insure that all properties are treated equally and fairly. The BOA should not have an agenda outside of insuring •a good correct assessment. Mr. Dennis served on the Board of Equalization for the last assessment. Numerous people appealed their assessments to the BOE. Mr. Dennis used his position to push landowners to put their land under easement. I hope Mr. Dennis as Chairman of the BOA will give all landowners, large and small, good fair consideration and not used the BOA as a platform to only push landowners to easement. People should decide independently based upon their personal circumstances if an easement is the best course for them, not be pushed into an easement by a large assessment. The end result is that this assessment will be the most contested assessment ever in Rappahannock County. The county needs a BOA with a very professional and understanding approach to hear the concerns of the citizens. I would advise landowners to start preparing for the assessments by obtaining any copies of appraisals prepared for any reasons over the last two years. This will be good information to supply to the BOA for an appeal. Landowners should request a copy of the work sheets and review to insure the accuracy of property facts.

They just havefi’t had that little extra spring in their step. I assumed it was because they, like many of us, were just getting older. And suddenly like magic, the answer was as plain as the nose on my pretty face — right there in this week’s Rappahannock, News. In a letter to the editor, the author stated that the county supervisors “...drug their feet...”. Drugs? Drugs in the board room? Who authorized the use of these drugs? And if feet are being drugged, isn’t it safe to assume that other body parts will soon follow? Who other than this educated author was aware of this problem? Thank goodness we still live in a country where selfappointed watchdogs are willing to expose this type of outrage and make it their business minding ours.

Tapp’s Ford Bridge: The end of an era By Don Audette Special to the Rappahannock News During October of this year, Tapp’s Ford Bridge was dismantled, ready to be cut up for scrap, to disappear off the face of the earth. It had begun its life brand new in November 1882. It was part of a three-span, single-lane, iron truss bridge across the Rapidan River at Madison Mills in Orange County. When that bridge was replaced by a new, two-lane modem bridge in 1934 (no longer in existence), the three spans were split up and scattered to three different counties. Eventually, one of those spans made its way to Rappahannock County to serve as Tapp’s Ford Bridge. It took a long time to get here and it has been difficult to trace its travels. First off, though, it is known that the old bridge sat at Madison Mills for some time, only 150 feet away from its 1934 replacement bridge. And as early as August 1933, the Orange County Board of Supervisors had their eye on it. At their meeting that month, they requested that when the Virginia State Highway Department abandoned the bridge, part of it would be used across the Rapidan River at Wilhoit’s Ford, and, according to a local newspaper account, the rest was to be used across another local ford. People knew that old truss bridges, with all their nuts, bolts, tumbuckles, and pieces and parts, could be taken apart like an erector set and rebuilt elsewhere. In October 1933, Madison County joined in the effort with its Board of Supervisors supporting the Wilhoit’s Ford move. But when the Orange County Board learned that it would cost $8,000 to move the bridge, they lost interest, rescinded their Wilhoit’s Ford request, and asked that the bridge be put across yet another local ford. t ollowmg the ford It is here that the trail runs cold. The only clue is from a VDOT publication of December 1975 entitled, “A Survey and Photographic Inventory of Metal Truss Bridges in Virginia, 1865-1932, Part III, The Culpeper Construction District.” In discussing the 1882 bridge at Madison Mills, the document notes that, “rather than abandon the three older spans, each was used as an individual bridge at a separate location.* Regrettably, the one remaining truss [Tapp’s Ford Bridge] was denuded of its once elegant and decorative ironwork when it was moved to its present location on Route 645 crossing the Rappahannock River between Virgil Lee Atkins" i ■ m A Tribute to my Father r<l who left this life a year ago K November20,2004 Pop, although you are no longer with us here on Earth, you will live on in the hearts and lives of your children and grandchildren. Our family was blessed to have such precious loving parents as you and Mom. You labored long hours year after year suffering heartaches and tears along the way, but you never gave up. You and Mom stuck together and made a warm loving home full of joy and happiness. Your hearts were filled with an endless love for each one of us. You taught us the things that mattered most in life. To love God and love one another. You taught us right from wrong. , Growing up money was little but we had all the riches in the world. We had two precious parents that loved us and provided for our every need. As we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, we thank God for being blessed so many years with a precious Dad and Mom like you. Missing you until we meet again, Betty Lou, Billy, Jean & Jimmy and families S—___f Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties.” The asterisk above refers to a footnote [corrected] telling where the three spans went. “One was moved to Page County, Route 654 (since replaced); another to the Caroline-Hanover line, Route 603 (since replaced); and the third to the Madison-Greene County line, Route 230 (since replaced). One of these was again moved to the last remaining span’s present location.” It is likely we got the Page County span because the Caroline-Hanover span, Route 603, seems too far away for a subsequent move to Rappahannock County; and the MadisonGreene spam, Route 230, was put in place in 1941, possibly across Middle River in Greene County, too recent for a second move. The span that went to Page County was erected across the Hawksbill Creek along Route 654 at Samdy. Hook, just east of where a 1908 truss bridge stood. But it was washed off its abutments in the great rainstorm of October 12-16, 1942, which caused the worst flooding in Page Valley since 1870. Luckily, the span was relatively undamaged. In a phone interview, Jack Cullers, currently the owner of property nearby, remembers as an eight year-old child the 1882 bridge sitting in the water for some time. It apparently was finally taken apart, carried over the mountain, and put together again as Tapp’s Ford Bridge. Certainly the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors was ready for a bridge at Tapp’s Ford. At a March 7, 1940 meeting, they “recommend[ed] to the State Highway Commission that it construct a bridge over the Rappahannock River, on Route 645, at a point known as Tapp’s Ford, and that one-half of costs of constructing said bridge be paid from funds allocated to Rappahannock County, and that the other one-half of said costs be paid from funds allocated to Fauquier County, provided it meets with the approval of the Board of Supervisors of Fauquier County and that said Board enters a resolution of like character.” Unfortunately, Fauquier County did not come through. Rappahannock rescue So at their April 18, 1940 meeting, Rappahannock County’s Board noted that “it appearing that there has been no demand from citizens of Fauquier County for such as a bridge and that the road engineer is spending considerable amount for the road leading to the ford,” they laid the resolution aside for the time being. Undaunted, the Board at their June 20, 1940 meeting said if it finally was decided to build the bridge, Rappahannock County would kick in $2,000. At the Rappahannock County Clerk’s office, in going through a box of old supporting material for the above meetings and others, the writer ran across a Department of Highway budget document for July 1,1940 to June 30,1941. Money was there foi; a bridge over the Rappahannock River at Tapp’s Ford. The bridge and its approaches were to cost an estimated $2,000. Work was to start work in March 1941 and finish by the end of June 1941. They did not make it. The same project appeared in the next annual budget document, but now included improving the road from the bridge to Route 211. Here, there was an inked annotation that said, “Comp. Tapps Ford Br.” Tbtal cost was estimated at $2,919.83, and everything was to be done by the end of September 1941. Was the schedule met this time? Other things have to be considered. Maybe there was more slippage. Maybe a bridge project on Route 621, to be finished by the end of 1941, took precedence. Maybe WWII, starting for the US on December 7,1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, changed things. It also appears that the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors was having trouble with the Department of Highway’s Resident Engineer for the Culpeper District at the time. In a letter to Richmond dated Januapr 1, 1942, they said he had failed to appear when called and they had not seen him since the summer of 1941. Richmond responded by saying he would appear. And he (fid. He told the Board at their March 5, 1942 meeting that he had inspected all 96 bridges in the county, found 10 in good condition, that most others would need repair Photo courtesy of VDOT ' Dave Cubbage LAST LOOK: October 18, 2005 was the last day of old Tapp’s Ford Brdige. A large crane on the left lifts the remaining half of the bridge, which was fabricated in 1882. Part of the other half, bent and twisted, is shown in the foreground. Photo was taken from the Fauquier County side along Route 645. in the near future, and at least 12 needed repairs as soon as possible. The Board then said, in effect, take the road money and fix such roads and bridges as in his judgment most needed it. A May 1942 letter from the Highway Department confirmed the situation. In turning down a citizen’s request for a road improvement, it stated that 50% of the county’s bridges were in bad shape. And in June 1942 came news of a fund reduction, that only 25% of projects could be done; that steel and iron were war restricted materials; and that the U.S. War Production Board was allocating steel plate for bridges on a month-to-month basis. At this point, Tapp’s Ford Bridge disappeared into Umbo. The water is wide The great rain of October 12 16,1942, a northeast storm that is still remembered by many people in Rappahannock County, seems to have provided the needed bridge at Tapp’s Ford. It was the same storm that had washed the 1882 span into the Hawksbill Creek along Route 654 in Page County. Maybe old timers in Rappahannock County can remember when the bridge finally arrived here and help solve this mystery. One thing is certain, the rain damage caused by the 1942 storm saw the Department of Highways and the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors devote all road funds, without exception, to bridge repair and replacement work well into 1945. However it got here, the old bridge held its head high for another half-century at least. A delicate, lacy bridge, it had seen it all since its start in 1882.

For some surviving spouses, time does little to lessen feelings of disbelief, bitterness and loneliness. In recent years, mental health experts have made strides in identifying and treating those who have severe difficulties after the death of a spouse. With one new strategy, called “traumatic grief treatment”, a therapist helps the bereaved spouse identify thoughts or situations that trigger intense emotions, such as recollections of the death itself or shared activities, and then develop practical ways to cope with them. According to one study, this therapy significantly reduced acute grief symptoms, as well as anxiety and depression, among patients who completed four months of weekly treatment. Finding new paths to heal after a great change is a challenge for us all. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we’re here to help you in any way we can when you face a loss of a dear one.

Wakefield Country Day School Hosts International Celebration This past week, Wakefield Country Day School (WCDS) held its annual international celebration of the many cultures and customs that our country embodies. Thursday, the school hosted an educational music concert in the Leonard M. Cowherd Auditorium, attended by students from first through twelfth grade. This special musical presentation, organized by the school’s Spanish and Music departments, featured the talents of the group, Solazo, a musical ensemble that teaches while performing. The group gave a musical tour- of Latin and South America, showcasing some of the unique instruments from that region. They incorporated the sounds of Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador into their act, and finished up with a popular number from the island of Cuba. Joining the group on drums during the Cuban segment was Gali Sanchez, who is not only Wakefield’s upper school Spanish teacher, but also a talented musician and former percussionist for the band Santana. Solazo’s finale featured cameo appearances on-stage by several band students from Rappahannock High School: Evan Espinola, Jason Wiese, Josh Makela, Dos Allen, Brandon Lee, Andrew Treanor, Patrick Treanor and Matt Wiese. The audience showed their AMIGOS: Juan Fiorentini, resident of Flint Hill (and Mexico) with lower school Spanish teacher Silvana Ruckman of Amissville. approval by dancing in the aisles, with young and old alike joining hands and swaying to the beat. Earlier in the week, WCDS held panel discussions led by students from five different countries. The Wednesday assembly served as the venue for a power-point presentation prepared by the computer technology class which focused on each of the eleven WCDS international students - their homes, families and past-times. The week’s festivities culminated on Friday with a whirlwind “tour” of over a dozen countries, each displaying its own international cuisine, cultural and geographical characteristics. Lower school students YOUNG TEACHER: Seventh grader Brittany Sasse of Flint Hill, who lived with her parents for nine years in Viet Nam before coming to Rappahannock County, had much to share. enjoyed international crafts and games, and upper school students tried their hand at salsa dancing. The final event of the day was a soccer match, with the students divided into four teams: Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America. Wakefield Country Day School has in place a strong international student program, and according to head of school, Kathleen Grove, “WCDS looks for opportunities such as these to “encourage respect for, and communication and understanding among, varied cultures.” Custom built 4 bedroom, 2 and 1/2 bath on nineteen fenced acres Attached 2 car garage, terrace, deck w/balcony off the MBR.

Both Boards are concerned that bids received in March and in November exceeded $600,000. This is substantially higher than the approximately $350,000 currently available for this project. It was decided that we would work to engage the services of a professional fundraiser to raise the balance plus additional funding needed for lights, bleachers, etc. Also discussed was a strategy to seek corporate sponsors or other benefactors who would have the field, the track, or the stadium named after them. The group expressed a desire to have the two boards continue to work together to achieve a quality facility for the children and citizens of Rappahannock County.

The squad performed twice in the tournament, once to be within the top five qualifying teams, and a second time to determine the final champion. Although this is the third year in a row that the Panthers have been to the State Tbumament, this is the first time they have placed so high. “I am so proud of them and it has been my pleasure and an honor to coach such an outstanding group of young people.” wrote Pullin after the match.

A reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, December 3 from 2:00 to r 6:00 p.m. This show works like a storyinstallation, while adhering to classical and historic principals of fine art. Steven Kenny’s paintings, which have achieved a lustrous fluidity, are both heralded by and reflect the mysteries of Donna LaPre’s extraordinary figures, paintings and poetry. l The inter-working of the multi-media presentation is a metaphor for the two artists’ relationship, but not in a haphazard sense. It figures, of course, that what you create is an indication of where you are in life, but Kenny and LaPre’s art leaves a spiritual and retinal after-image of a beautiful place and time. Hie paintings of Steven Kenny Steven Kenny’s painting style, as those who’ve followed his very successful career will note, has gone from a more seamless technique to very painterly brushwork. Admirable skin tones, for example, are created by laying down strokes of a true spectrum of colors. Kenny’s paintings in this instance span the years 1994 to the present.

Fiddle Banjo Duo play ‘Southern Summits’ at The Theatre Dec. 3 By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News On Saturday, December 3 at 8 p.m., Alan Jabbour and Ken Perlman return to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia to give their second concert here playing old time fiddle and banjo music of Appalachia and beyond. Jabbour became interested in folk music and folklore while he was a graduate student in North Carolina in the 1960s. Traveling throughout the mountains of North Carolina, West Virginia, and Virginia, he recorded instrumental folk music, folksong, and folklore on tape. He regards fiddler Henry Reed of Glen Ly, Virginia, as his mentor, and credits many of the tunes which are now well loved among the devotees of fiddle playing to , Reed. The collection which Jabbour assembled as a student later formed part of the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress, where Jabbour worked for many years before retiring to take up full time his love of old time fiddle playing. His early training as a classical violinist is put to Photo courtesy of The Theatre Alan Jabbour and Ken Perlman superb use in the intricacies and challenges of the music. Some of the music to be heard at the Theatre is drawn from the duo’s recent CD “Southern Summits” which Jabbour has described as “a conversation or negotiation between the banjo and fiddle as musical equals - a summit See ThtATRE, Page B2 1 as aa*aKas*g&aaaBasE; <& Photos by Raymond Boc Sperryville splendor What’s the big attraction here?

Hospice is a program that provides compassionate care and attends to the emotional and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families at an inpatient facility or at the patient’s home. Hopsice of the Rapidan, a leading not-for-profit provider of high quality hospice services in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties has teamed up with local libraries to increase public awareness of hospice during November. Information on Hospice of the Rapidan in recognition of National Hospice Month is on display at the Rappahannock County Library throughout the month of November. It is a time for our communities to celebrate this caring community of individuals. Hospice of the Rapidan enables individuals and families to receive high quality, compassionate end of life care from a team of professionals specially trained in pain management and end of life concerns - usually while remaining in the comfort of their home. Hospice of the Rapidan is a licensed, nonprofit hospice organization providing skilled medical care and compassionate support to terminally ill patients and their families in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Hospice care is available to terminally ill people with a life expectancy of six months or less, regardless of ability to pay. To learn more about hospice care, grief support, or becoming a volunteer call Hospice of the Rapidan at 540-825-4840 or visit online at www.hotr.org.

Wolfelt, Ph.D. Theatre From Page B1 in the diplomatic sense, and also an artistic challenge to scale the heights of each time - a summit in the mountain climbing sense.” Banjo Newsletter, reviewing “Southern Summits,” described the playing of Perlman and Jabbour as “poetry for two musicians who deliver the good in their own personal and very competent style. Their intention is not to mimic anyone’s traditional playing technique, but to give us a good listening experience while respecting the tradition from which this music was passed on.” The journal Sing Out! Stated that “what makes “Southern Summits” an unusual delight is the fact that Jabbour and Perlman are among the most articulate musicians that old-time music has to offer.” Banjo player Perlman is a master of the melodic clawhammer style - an approach that has transformed clawhammer from an accompaniment to a solo style of banjo playing. This is the last performance scheduled at the Theatre for the year 2005. (The Theatre has announced with regret that Cooter’s “Blue Ridge Christmas” show, originally scheduled for December 17, has had to be canceled.) Tickets for the performance on December 3 are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Visual references to artists as far back as the 15th century are clearly evident. His broad-ranging influences and sources of inspiration express a truth and grace that should resonate with gallery goers Donna LaPre’s mixed masterpieces Because of our human natures, and because art is created in the context of things we all experience, all art can be described as derivative. Having said that, however, I have to say that Donna LaPre’s works on paper, mixings of collage, drawing and painting, are very highly original. They are also courageous in the refined risks that they take through their juxtaposition of startling images; to merely describe them, as LaPre does, as “suggestions of a dreamworld or liminal state of consciousness” does not begin to do them justice LaPre feels that, “The touching-off points this body of work encompasses are: the emerging yet constrained 19th century feminism; the energies and forms of nature, especially of the plant kingdom; spiritual thresholds and the Christmas Mystery from an anthroposophical reference.” LaPre’s figures, which in some cases feature “tweaked renderings of meticulously fashioned 19th century garments” reflecting not only the angst but the incipient liberation of that age. It is clear, as LaPre has stated, that “the figures in the show, constructed of fabric, leather, paper mache, are dolls only in the very ancient meaning of the word, as figures of sacred representation unlike the modem concept of dolls as playthings.” There is a startling and edgy quality to these figures that I would prefer not to dilute through a description; I’ll leave that as a reward for openingday show attendees. The show also features Donna LaPre’s gifted poetry, meant to be absorbed as a part of the whole. Again, as with her graphic and figural works, this poetry gives a lot of credit to viewers/readers. They’re allowed to make their own assumptive leaps from one elegant expression to the next, creating their own view by closing the synapses between disparate images. LaPre’s flowing poetry puts me in mind of the textural expressions of Theodore Roethke. Tb quote Steven Kenny, “All together, the works in this exhibit hint to a spatial reality that is more complex and dimensional than the temporal.” The tension between the related pieces of art in this show creates its own feeling and message. While the show has to come down on January 9th, and co-displayed pieces will suffer a kind of deconstruction for it, you can take away a great purchase, or fascinating after-image of a sum greater than its parts.

McCoy Special Events Center located inside the Alson W;M Smith, Jr. Technology Center on the Middletown Campus, located at 173 Skirmisher Lane in Middletown. The event is free and open to the public. “LFCC values diversity,” said Douglas Cumbia, director of student success at LFCC. “This event is designed to explore our diverse culture and learn more about others in support of LFCC’s strategic goal of creating a learning environment where every individual succeeds.” Landrum, who at the age of 23 is one of the most recognized gay • celebrities in the nation, will center his presentation on the following: • It’s “Okay” to be Different! •Stereotyping • Self Expression • Deflecting Hatred Three years ago Landrum left the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to become a cast member in MTV’s Road Rules - Campus Crawl. Landrum also starred in The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Battle of the Sexes, Battle of the Sexes 2 and The Inferno. His brief reality stint turned into a life-altering experience, leaving Landrum with the desire to share the positive experience of the show with college students across the country. On Road Rules, Landrum was able to overcome the homophobia that surfaced within the cast.

father wasn’t bom in this iuntry. He came from the Philippines in the early ‘30s with, I believe, one intent in mind - to embrace America as his own. By the time I had memories of Thanksgiving, he was well ensconced in this truly American tradition and celebrated it with customary gusto. He would rise early to put the bird in the oven. From the doorway of the kitchen I would watch him washing the turkey. He was a designing engineer by trade and his craft didn’t leave him as he meticulously closed the cavity with artful crosses of butcher’s string. For most of the year I rarely saw my father in the kitchen save for Sundays and the holidays. Those were his to shine and my mother knew better than to intrude with his culinary undertakings. 1 My father really took great delight in preparing the turkey. On this day of traditional thanks, I feel that the larger bird he had to prepare, the happier he was. Thus, we would usually have turkey for many days. While my mother baked pies and side dishes and set a very fancy table, my father would tend to the turkey for many hours, basting it religiously. The aroma on Thanksgiving day was heavenly as the smells of Dad’s bird wafted throughout the house. But, it was my father’s dressing that was the true masterpiece. He would start the day betore cutting and toasting bread cubes. Peeking through the kitchen doorway again, I’d see him chopping onions and celery, melting butter in a large pot, pouring in some liquid, tasting, seasoning and stirring. When we were finally all seated at the dining room table, it was my father’s dressing that was always the biggest hit. I hadn’t developed a taste for mushrooms yet and would always query him if he had put any in the dressing. “No,” he would say, “just eat it.” It was never dry. Rather, it was very moist and comfortable feeling and it left me smiling and reaching for seconds. As the years went on, the reputation for my father’s dressing spread among our family members and each Thanksgiving it was the one dish that everyone looked forward to the most - Dad’s moist stuffing with unmistakable From Where I Sit Anita L. Sherman good flavor. My father passed away 10 years ago. The first Thanksgiving that occurred after his death, my sister was in Oregon and I here in Virginia. I can’t recall which one of us called the other but it was with the same question - Do you have Dad’s stuffing recipe?” “I think he may have put some soup in it,” said my sister. “Well, I do know now that he used mushrooms,” I replied. In our long history of living with this man who migrated to America from an island culture, we never thought to preserve this recipe that I believe was never written down. Since my mother stayed clear of him when he was preparing this dish, she didn’t recall how he did it only that it was very good. Every year or so one of us will lay claim that we’ve replicated Dad’s dressing but I know it is not so. This year as I prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving I have stuffing on my list. It is one of my children’s favorites and while I’d like to say it’s a recipe refined by their grandfather I cannot lay claim to that, I can only savor the memory. aroun d die kolbws to arandmotker s kouse we eeks before La_/ Thanksgiving my heart warms with anticipation as I look forward to the family and grandchildren that will squeeze around the table, chairs and sofas in my home joking, laughing and eating together this Thanksgiving. After the turkey and dressing, the family will scatter: some will begin a football game, others will go shopping and some will play games \ :th the children. All will gather later in the day to grab a sandwich and then embrace as they say their goodbyes. Let’s all take a few minutes in the coming days to think about what’s important in life. What a precious gift it is to have a day set aside to offer thanks, to turn our thoughts away from work, financial concerns and national hot topics and toward the people and things that bring joy into our lives. Frying your turkey this Thanksgiving? Southern cooks have been deep frying turkeys for . Washington 1 Jan Clatterbuck 1675-3338 jclatterbuck@ timespapers.com years. Thanks to some popular chefs, juicy deep fried turkey is now a popular tradition across America especially at Thanksgiving. But remember turkey fryers can be dangerous and often consumers fail to read and follow directions carefully Turkey fryers should be used outdoors only and a good distance from buildings and other material that can bum. This is a No! No! Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or in garages. Make sure the fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping. Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you don’t watch the fryer carefully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire. , Never allow children or pets near the fryer. Even after use, the oil inside can remain dangerously hot for hours. To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer. Use insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter. Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water don’t mix, and water causes oil to spill-over, causing fire or even an explosion hazard. Remember: Keep an all-purpose (ABC-type) fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease or oil fire. Remember to use your best judgment when attempting to fight a fire. If the fire is manageable, use an all-purpose fire extinguisher. If the fire is not manageable, immediately call 9-1-1 for help. Enjoy your turkey! The staff at the Rappahannock News wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Every year TV shows, radio shows and newspapers do pieces on different Mindful Musings Bill Kossler ways to ceieDrate i namtsgiving- now to mix it up ana try something new. In this case they were interviewing some Spanish chef who suggested serving lobster. When he referred to lobster as the “turkey of the sea” I wanted to punch my radio. Don’t get me wrong; the chef’s recipe for a lobster and citrus salad sounded delicious. I understand too that those in the media all have an imperative to seek out the new and different. It’s hard to say something new and different about Thanksgiving and easy to echo trite, cliched and oft repeated sentiments. Who wants to do the same old bit about turkey, football and dysfunctional families getting together for an evening of conflict? But holidays are about tradition. Each holiday has its own set that defines both the holiday and ourselves as a nation. The way we celebrate these days is a part of who we are, a part of our collective consciousness. We have many “holidays” but I don’t think many would disagree that the real ones, the big ones are Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Christmas has its traditions, Halloween is about trick-or-treating, jack-o-lantems, costumes, Fall, spookiness, night time and sugar. Thanksgiving is about a gathering together of family and friends, and having the peculiarly Thanksgiving Day feast. If you’re going to substitute lobster for turkey, why not substitute going to a movie instead of having a feast? Or celebrating it in July and working the fourth Thursday of November? For a tradition to have meaning, for it even to be a tradition at all, it must be composed of cyclically repeated rituals. Whatever you might read or hear about the origins of the holiday, or the slightly religious tone of the idea of giving thanks, we all know what it’s really about: Eating Thanksgiving dishes with friends and family. There must be turkey, stuffing, cranberry, sweet potatoes and stuffing. You’re vegetarian? Okay, I’ll forgive you for not having the turkey.'But that’s the only good reason. Plus you still have cranberry in some form, stuffing and sweet potatoes. You don’t like cranberry? Eat a little bit anyway. It’s Thanksgiving. And nobody really likes sweet potatoes all that much, but we all make believe we do for the holidays. That’s why we bury it in butter and brown sugar. A tennis shoe would be okay cooked like that. Some of my friends claim to like it, but I’ve never actually seen them eat it except on a holiday. I’m a traditionalist with stuffing too: You need bread, celery, onions, rubbed sage and maybe stock and butter. You don’t need: Oysters, apples, sausage, nuts or water chestnuts. Why not just skip the bread and sage and put in a lobster? Com bread stuffing is no match for regular stuffing either. Com spoon bread, on the other hand, is great. But I’ll reluctantly leave each to his own with the stuffing. Go ahead, express yourself. Put in some black truffle and chestnut if you must. Just know that you aren’t improving it any with your changes. Let’s everyone get together, quietly tolerate your drunken, obnoxious uncle, enjoy the spirit of the day, and fall asleep watching football in a room full of friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving! Bill Kossler can be reached at bkossler@timespapers.com Wianh the £ord for your blessing s now an cl in the fi mure By John Burke Special to the Rappahannock News Ik (VI give thanks unto the Lord, for He is \y good for his mercy endureth forever. Thanksgiving day is a wonderful time to give thanks unto the Lord for all his blessings bestowed upon us. Not only just this one day, but every day. As a born again believer it is our duty to be thankful, many scriptures in the Book of Psalms command us to be thankful. We are to thank the Lord for our past blessings. May we pause from time to time and take inventory of the good things God has given us and done for us. We that are saved, there have been times He protected us from certain danger, thank Him for answering our prayers, and suppling our needs. He give us comfort when going through dark hours of life. The next thing is we should thank the Lord for our present blessings. H? is still the same God who answers prayers, works miracles and controls nature and rules the universe. We also should thank the Lord for his future blessings. He will continue his great work in us. Philippians 1: 6. One of these days He is coming in the clouds of glory, to take us to heaven, if we don’t go by the grave first. I Thessalonians 4: 13-18. Are you ready, if not you can get ready. Just believe that Jesus died for your sins. Repent and call upon the Lord and ask him to save your soul and give you a home in heaven. Romans 10:13. If you will do this from the heart, the Lord will save you. Please do that today, for tomorrow could be to late. Social Security Disability Claims • Disabled?

Original founder Phil Irwin is on track with the environment By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News lb celebrate its 35th year helping protect the scenic and natural resources of the county, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) recently , honored its founder and long-term board member, Phil Irwin, with a special award. At the organization’s wellattended annual meeting president Paul Farmer praised Phil Irwin as ‘‘perhaps the finest example of environmental activism in the history of the county for his leadership in the long effort to protect Rappahannock’s natural, cultural and historic environment.” Those attending the annual meeting gave Irwin a standing ovation as Farmer read the citation presented to RLEFs founder. RLEP began in 1970 when a group of young environmental activists in the county challenged a giant utility’s plans to erect huge towers and 138,000volt transmission lines through the heart of Rappahannock County. RLEP led a 15-month fight that forced the utility company to withdraw its plans. Since that early battle, RLEP has confronted and blunted other threats to our community and is one of the region’s most respected conservation groups. RLEFs current efforts include a number of initiatives vitally important to protecting Rappahannock County’s scenic beauty, rural character, and priceless natural resources. These include: • Encouraging donations of conservation easement to protect open spaces; • Protecting the Hazel River for its beauty and importance to the region’s threatened watershed; • Encouraging the use of alternative energy sources; • Helping preserve biodiversity in the county. RLEP is also working with others in the county to help preserve and protect the Washington Courthouse grounds. RLEP has been instrumental in educating the public about the county’s first Comprehensive Plan and subsequent revisions. They stress responsible management and farming, and operate from the perspective that subdivisions spoil our land and generate high service costs. RLEP is a not-for-profit, taxexempt 501(cX3) corporation staffed by volunteers. Donations are tax-deductible. The League, is nonpartisan and does not support political candidates. It also works with the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, the Rrebser Fund, and others to promote shared goals. Further information on RLEP and membership information is available* at its web site.
