Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Inn at Little Washington is a dream come true for two longtime partners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. Crafted with imagination and heart honed from years of personal and practical experience, O’Connell and Lynch have created a dining dynasty like no other in the country. With O’Connell as master orchestrator of the kitchen and culinary creations, Lynch has served as the manager and front man graciously greeting not only local residents but as the restaurant’s notoriety grew politicians and celebrities as well. While news of their personal falling out several years ago is not new news for many who know them well, the falling out of their business partnership breakup is. Since the opening of the Inn in February of 1978, the .two partners have purchased several other properties in the Town of Washington and it is the division of those properties that is now at odds. O’Connell filed papers on May 22 in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court asking that the O’ConnellLynch partnership (which was formed in 1977 with each as 50 percent general partners) be dissolved. According to court documents, O’Connell is asking that he be “appointed custodian to operate the business of the partnership in the ordinary course until a full hearing on dissolution can be held, that he be appointed receiver at such hearing, and that the Court set a date for a bulk sale by the receiver of the assets of the partnership (as a going concern) at public auction.” County and Town Meetings and Notice • On Monday, September 25, the Town of Washington’s Planning Commission will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall on Gay Street. They will begin consideration of an annexation of a portion of Piedmont Avenue by the Town of Washington. Immediately following the Planning Commission meeting there will be a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the ARB to continue the review of the draft Historic District Guidelines. • On Wednesday, September 27, the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals will meet at 7:30 p. m. the courthouse on Gay Street.

Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) In a separate suit, O’Connell is requesting that he be given the “authority to terminate. the employment of an employee, even though that employee is a director and 50 percent shareholder of the corporation.” Simply put, O’Connell would like to retain running of the Inn and fire his partner, Reinhardt Lynch. While the papers have been on file at the courthouse since May, it was believed by employees there that the papers had not been officially served to the defendant - in this case, Reinhardt Lynch. “It’s unusual,” said county clerk Diane Bruce. “There hasn’t been anything since these original documents. It indicates to me that they are working toward a negotiation.” But reportedly the papers have been served. “That’s not true,” said O’Connell’s attorney, David Fiske. “We took care of serving them ourselves - attorney to attorney who also added that Lynch had not filed any response. Fiske reiterated that “whatever happens, it won’t effect the Inn.” Nor is it likely to effect the ongoing roles that both partners have played in the community. Both O’Connell and Lynch reside in the Town of Washington where both of them have not only been key players at the Inn but have taken on roles in the town’s government. O’Connell is chairman of the Architectural Review Board while Lynch serves as the town’s ViceMayor. The Inn has consistently demonstrated support for community activities like the annual 10-K Fodderstack Race as well as numerous other cultural and conservation projects in the county. None of that is likely to change. “It is in the best interest of everyone that a resolution be reached, but it is hot in the best interest of the resolution that I discuss it in public,” said Lynch in a written statement delivered to the Rappahannock News on Wednesday *' • f Patrick O’Connell responded as well with an emailed statement saying, “Negotiations are moving swiftly and positively towards a resolution, which is in the best interests of all concerned and will preserve and protect The Inn’s future and ongoing evolution. I love what I am doing and I look forward to continuing it here. We appreciate the kindness our See INN, Page A2 One farmer s By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer Late last week, Recyc Systems Inc., of Remington, VA officially filed an application with the Virginia Department of Health for permits to spread biosolids or sludge On land belonging to two Rappahannock County farmers. Before a full week had passed, one of those farmers, Alfred Kummli, had already informed Recyc that he was not interested in having sludge applied to his 400 acre Flint Hill farm, Windsor Lodge. “This is not what I need to put on my land,” said Kummli. According to Susan Trumbo, a Vice President with Recyc Systems, the company will go ahead with their application on the behalf of the other farmer, James Manwaring of Red Oak Ranch. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, VDH will review Recyc’s application and formally notify the county sometime in the next sixty days. Alfred Kummli maintains that Recyc’s application on his farm’s behalf is due to a misunderstanding. According to Kummli his farm manager contacted Recyc about using sludge as a fertilizer on Windsor Lodge several years ago. “We were trying to save money. We were spending almost $40,000 a year on fertilizer,” said Kummli. Recyc Systems didn’t proceed on the application at the time, possibly due to Virginia’s shifting legal climate on the issue. According to Kummli, they had not contacted him for a long time before last Friday, when they told him that they were proceeding with the application. According to Kummli, his views on the land application of sludge have changed since his original contact with Recyc, and he no longer sees it as a viable fertilizer alternative. “I told them that we’re off, that we’re not interested,” said Kummli. In the few days since it was announced by McCarthy that Kummli and Manwaring were the applicants to Recyc, Kummli and even some of his acquaintances have already faced a negative backlash from some county residents. On the popular county electronic irlailing list “Rappnet,” the prospect of “shunning” for the two applicants was even discussed after their names were released. “It’s just out of the blue last week,” said Kummli. For his part, Red Oak Ranch’s James Manwaring remains firm in his decision to use treated biosolids as a fertilizer. f Blessed and baptized Rappahannock residents Katherine and Dick Bull were delighted grandparents as they celebrated the christening of their granddaughter, Alexandra, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Little Washington on Sunday. The cherubic baby is proudly held by her father Winston. Photo by Richard Lykes eeks^sludge “I certainly don’t want to alienate people, but I think that biosolids have a place in farming,” said Manwaring He became interested in sludge as a fertilizer when it was recommended to him by a fellow cattle farmer in a neighboring county. Manwaring thinks environmentalists that oppose land application of sludge are oh the wrong side of the issue. “Applying sludge to farm land is the best way to handle it. What else are {treatment plants] going to do with it? If you bum it, you are hurting the ozone layer, if you haul it away you’re just putting the problem in someone else’s yard,” said Manwaring. “What I’d like to see is the county taking responsibility and regulating it,” said Manwaring, a possibility that many who oppose sludge hauling will also support at the October 2 hearing. On sludge * The land application of sludge h$s been banned in Rappahannock County since 1994, but changes to Virginia laws in the intervening years have made that ban effectively illegal, and the use of sludge as a fertilizer is a common practice in many nearby counties, including Culpeper, Madison, and Fauquier. If Recyc Systems’ application to spread sludge at Red Oak is granted by the VDH, the county would almost certainly lose a court challenge to the ban. After a closed session at their September meeting, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors decided to hold a public hearing on possibly repealing the ban on October 2. Whether referred to as sludge or biosolids, sludge is mostly solid human waste left over after the wastewater treatment process. After it has been further treated and processed, it can be used as an effective fertilizer. It’s attractive to farmers because it doesn’t cost anything; Sludge haulers like Recyc are paid by municipalities to take their sludge away. The sludge that would be spread on Red Oak Ranch would come from the Blue Plains treatment facility in Maryland, and has its origins in the digestive systems of Washington D.C. and its suburbs. Sludge.. is unpopular in Rappahannock County largely for environmental reasons. Since it conies from the sewage system of an entire city and not just residential areas, sludge can contain industrial waste substances, heavy metals, and pharmaceuticals. Like any fertilizer, its presence in a water shed can imbalance ecosystems and pollute rivers. Virginia regulates these concerns through a strict permitting process, which requires testing to ensure safety and prohibits high concentrations of certain chemicals in loads of sludge. However, Paul Farmer, President of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, is not satisfied that the state requirements are enough. “The number of pollutants and potential toxic substances in sludge is enormous,” said Farmer. Recyc’s Trumbo disputes that Virginia’s requirements are not enough, and points out that larger facilities like Blue Plains test more frequently than smaller plants, are monitored 24 hours a day, and treat such large volumes of water that an> trace toxins are diluted beyond harm The BOS will hold a public healing to discuss the possible removal of the county ban on the land application of sewage sludge on Monday, October 2, 2006, at 7 p.m. in the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia, Email the reporter at mtayloe@timespapers. com Newsmaker Country Squire rhe 50th Annual Dried Flower and Home Tour is coming and the 3ruton Home is getting ready. 5ee Page A10.

From.I^age Wends aqd neighbors have shown in respecting our privacy.*: Local concern County administrator John McCarthy is empathic with the ongoing situation and the fate of the two partners that he has come to know well through the years. “The County is certainly distressed to see so prominent a local business undergoing such a leadership struggle. The Inn has been a remarkable engine for local enterprise and economic development both in the Town of Washington and the County for a quarter century. We hope that they emerge from this dispute stronger and more successful than ever,” said McCarthy Eugene Leggett is not only mayor of the Town of Washington but a patron of the Inn and good friends with the owners. Leggett has served together with both of them in the interests of the town. “The Inn has set the tone for the town for over 25 years, a healthy tone,” said Leggett who further elaborated. “To speak strictly in terms of revenue is too narrow as the Inn has brought a revitalized £7 energy with the people that it -Jjlflngs in that visit the shops ^4nd stay in the town at the numerous bed and breakfast establishments.” “I know that Patrick is intent on keeping the Inn a vital part of the community. It truly is his “baby” and he is very concerned that nothing mar the image that has been created over the years,” said Leggett who added, “I believe that they are in final negotiations over the properties that they share as business partners. The key question is, what will Reinhardt do?” “I believe that he wants to stay in the town and continue on as vice-mayor.” While they view themselves as relative newcomers to the town, owners of the Gay Street Inn in Washington Jay Brown and Kevin Adams are sympathetic and offered the newspaper their written statement, “The termination of any previously successful relationship, personal or professional, is sad, but few people other than those actually in the relationship can appreciate the full dynamic. We hope that each of them will be happier when the process is completed, and that the Inn will continue to be the leading business in this community and in the culinary world for years to come, not just for our own sake, but because the Inn is a very wonderful thing.” “The Gold Standard in Equestrian Construction” Toll-free: 1-888-GOLD-CUP (1-888-465-3287) OOUKOT lamp* ~ Marshall, Virginia ^affordablepric^ Fencing, Barns, Sheds ~Va.

Washington, Virginia 22747 Mary Ann Kuhn, owner of the Middleton Inn, has known Patrick and Reinhardt since she opened her bed and breakfast 11 years ago. “Of course many people are wondering what impact, if any, this will have on the town. At the same time, you have to be realistic and look at what Patrick and Reinhardt have achieved over the past three decades establishing a first class inn and restaurant that consistently wins every top award in the country and puts Washington, Va., on the map. A lot of hard work, sacrifice and diligence went into that effort all those years. They are not going to do anything to harm this special “child” they created or the town that they love. They have invested themselves in it so much, both personally and professionally,” said Kuhn. Keeping it private Gary and Michelle Schwartz own the Heritage House Bed and Breakfast on Main Street in Washington. Having witnessed what bad press can do to an establishment, they are concerned but confident that O’Connell and Lynch will work out their differences. “We have a great deal of admiration for both Patrick and Reinhardt. They have made “Little” Washington a tourist destination and their contributions to the citizens of this town and Rappahannock County are immeasurable. The Inn At Little Washington continues to thrive, as evidenced by their most recent Zagat award. This is a personal matter between just the two of them. We respect that and hope that everyone else will do the same.” Email the reporter at asherman@timespapers. com 14 Community Newspapers ServingOver 650,000Readers in Northern Virginia &The Greater Piedmont (limes Community Newspapers j| J NORTHERN VIRGINIA Citizen wins FOIA suit against Culpeper supervisors By Jason Peck Rappahannock News Staff Writer The state’s highest court on Friday sided with several area newspapers in a landmark case against the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. The Virginia State Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that county supervisors violated the Freedom of Information Act when they met behind closed doors to discuss alternatives to a 1,500-student high school. “It is the right decision,” said Lawrence Emerson, founder and former editor of the Citizen. “It should encourage Culpeper government officials and officials across the Commonwealth to be more careful and think more about the public interest than their own personal interest. This was an egregious violation of state law, no doubt about it.” Citizen attorney Craig Merit denied extensive comments, due to the ongoing nature of the case. “The opinion of the Supreme Court speaks for itself,” he said. The case began when supervisors declared a closed meeting Oct. 5, citing a FOIA exemption that permits government bodies to discuss negotiations before awarding a contract. But the meeting came after an architectural contract had already been awarded to Reston-based SHW for design work related to constructing a new high school. Instead, supervisors discussed design alternative to building a 1,500-student high school. Among the options was the aborted 2,400-student “mega high school” created by combining both Culpeper County High School and Culpeper Middle School. The Citizen promptly filed a petition against the board. The general district court initially sided with the supervisors. But newspapers around the state made donations toward legal funds that eventually mushroomed to more than $100,000. Daily newspapers The Culpeper Star-Exponent and The Freelance Star of Fredericksburg signed on as plaintiffs in the circuit court appeal. 1 Franklin and Virginia Miller’s Estate AUCTION by Roderick C.

Baldwin CA1, AARE, Lie #000681 For Info: 540-743-3889 Timeline The long road to Friday’s decision began two years earlier. • Oct. 5,2004: County supervisors enter into closed session to discuss additional options for the new high school. • Oct. 8,2004: White Dog Publishing files a petition in general district court that alleges county supervisors conducted an illegal discussion behind closed doors. • Oct. 22,2004: Culpeper general district court dismisses the Citizen’s petition. • Dec. 2004: The Citizenfiles notice of its intent to appeal the district court’s ruling to circuit court. • May 5,2005: A circuit court judge hands down a split decision, ruling that supervisors had a legal reason to meet behind closed doors, but broke the law when they failed to clearly identify the subject of the meeting. The Freelance Star of Fredericksburg and Media General, which publishes the Culpeper StarExponent, have signed joined as plaintiffs. • Nov. 25 2005: The Citizen and company appeal the case the the Virginia Supreme Court. • Feb. 15,2006: A panel of Supreme Court justices votes to send the appeal to the state’s highest court. • June 2006: The case is heard before the Supreme Court. • Sept. 15,2006: The Supreme Court rules in favor of the newspapers, creating a new precedent for the Freedom of Information Act. “As far as I know, that’s the first time in Virginia that something like this has happened,” Emerson said. “I don’t ever remembers a time when others newspapers were chipping in funds for a lawsuit.” The case continued after Emerson sold The Citizen and its sister paper in Fauquier to Times Community Newspapers in late 2005. TCN was among the papers who contributed money to the appeal fund. The Supreme Court finally sided with the newspapers in the landmark ruling last Friday. In ruling, the court determined the FOIA exemption did not apply to discussions about the scope or terms of a previously awarded contract. “Such an expansive interpretation... would be inconsistent with the General Assembly’s directive that an exemption to FOIA’s requirement of open meetings be narrowly constructed.” Many in the newspaper business believe the ruling will make officials across the state more wary of using FOIA exemptions. “Adhering to the law is an important aspect of their job as public servants,” said Ginger Stanley, executive director of the Virginia Press Association. “When they’re made aware they stop that practice. This will be a case we can point to explain the case for following the law.” Newspapers around the state had given their support to the case that would have a major impact on counties across the state. The case made use of the VPA’s First Amendment Fund to pay for legal costs. “I know that I get calls from reporters three to four times a week when they’re in closed meeting or about to be a closed meeting, and most the time it is for an illegal reason,” Stanley added. “Most cases I can work through the county and the meeting are opened. It’s not the norm that these meetings happen on a regular basis, but they do happen.” The suit has named super “We Love Highland \\ ^ ...We’ve made best mends for life!” Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 • Small classes w/individualized attention • Preparation for life beyond college • VAIS accredited school • Bus transportation available • ( ACADEMICS I ARTS I ATHLETICS “Those who learn, grow."

Supervisor Bill Chase (Stevensburg District) was absent for the closed session. The case remains ongoing. The Supreme Court also reversed the circuit court’s decision judgment that kept the county from reimbursing the publishers’ legal fees. The money will likely come, from insurance, rather than the general fund. The case returns to circuit court at an undetermined date. “It has been frustrating that it has taken two years to 1 get the proper decision in what should be a very simple matter,” Emerson said. “The Freedom of Information Act is written so average citizens can monitor their government and keep government honest.” County Attorney John D. Maddox admitted responsibility for the ruling, but admitted he wasn’t sure how to proceed in the future. “I’ve had two judges agree with me, I haven’t run into a lawyer yet except for the one with the Citizen who disagreed with my decision,” Maddox said. “But that’s why they have Supreme Courts.” You may contact Jason Peck at 825-9882 or e-mail jpeck@ culpepercitizen.com Corrections In the September 14 issue of the Rappahannock News, an article titled “Supervisors won’t decide on sludge” described the company Recyc Systems as being the same entity as Bio Grow, a sludge hauling company that had previously participated in a lawsuit against Rappahannock County. This was incorrect. Recyc Systems and Bio Grow are separate companies. In an article about September 11 services, contributor Jon Heddleston described Paul A. Poling as joining the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department in 1938. This was incorrect. Mr. Poling actually joined the McLean Fire Department in 1938. Mr. Poling is actually a long time volunteer of the McLean, Amissville and Jeffersonton fire departments, and a very busy man. In an article titled about Rappahannock County volunteers, a photo captioned “The Best” was labeled as a picture of Harriet Lewis. The baker in the photo was actually Sadie Norman. The Rappahannock News regrets these errors. *

Town reservoir completed By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer The new reservoir for the Tbwn of Washington is complete. Water was recently pumped into the tank filling it over the top. “100,000 gallons were pumped down the hill by Laura’s house,” Tbwn Mayor Eugene Leggett said with a chuckle, “however crews were able to bring it back under control.” Tbwn Clerk Laura Dodd said that the problem was believed to be the result of faulty gauges. “This is a major milestone for us,” said councilman Vice Mayor Reinhardt Lynch warmly. Wastewater project funding temporarily approved Herb White also reported that the town has been temporarily approved for a loan from the Department of Environmental Quality's (DEQ) Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund. The town expects to get a three percent rate for a 30-year loan. Police Briefs Cloniger pleaded not guilty in Culpeper Ira Wayne Cloniger, charged with first degree murder in Rappahannock County and the subject of a week long man hunt earlier this summer, pleaded not guilty to a charge of malicious wounding in Culpeper Circuit Court on Tuesday, September 19. The charge relates to Cloniger’s alleged stabbing of a 60 year old Culpeper man. Cloniger was out on bond for this charge when he allegedly murdered Edward Fletcher Jr. in Rappahannock county on July 2. Cloniger will go before the Culpeper Circuit Court for trial on Oct. 31. His trial in Rappahannock County will begin on January 22. Assault at Massies Comer James L. Fletcher, 30, of Washington, VA was arrested by Deputy Angela Deavers and Sgt. Mark Kearns of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office on September 17 for Assault and Battery and Brandishing a firearm. According to the RCSO, Fletcher became upset when his Lincoln Navigator was repossessed earlier that week. On September 13, Fletcher allegedly beat his wife multiple times, chased her with a hammer, and threatened to kill her with a loaded rifle. According to the RCSO, witnesses saw Fletcher hitting his wife by the side of the road at Massies Comer, came to her aid, and called police. This incident is still under investigation. Trouble outside Blue Rock Inn Timothy Treantafellow is currently wanted by the RCSO for peijury and DUI. The charges relate to a a traffic accident that occurred on US 211 outside the Blue Rock Inn on September 9. This incident is still under investigation. Other considerations for a loan included the Virginia Municipal League (VML) and the USDA Rural Development fund. Interest rates offered by those loan programs were around 4.64 percent. Piedmont Avenue proposal returns to the table Council member Claudia Mitchell returned the attention of the Council back to the proposal to include Piedmont Avenue within the town’s borders. “It is important that we hear these people and move forward with this issue,” Mitchell said. Town Attorney John Bennett advised the council to proceed with caution. “No government should expand its boundaries in a haphazard fashion,” said Bennett. “The issue should be set forward in a comprehensive plan.” The town’s current Comprehensive Plan was voted into effect in April 2006 after several months of debate. While not actually having the force of law, the Comprehensive Plan is intended to act as a mission statement for the Tbwn Council and the future councils to follow when deciding Washington’s future. The Piedmont proposal is not in the comprehensive plan which would require a thorough revision. The proposal was made by Piedmont Avenue residents in July. Piedmont property owners William and Jessica Metcalf hired former Town Attorney Doug Baumgardner, to represent the proposal. “Piedmont Avenue looks like Washington, it’s contiguous with Washington, and the features of the individual properties are consistent with the rest of the town,” Baumgardner said at the time. “It suggests to the beholder that it is part of the town.” Jessica Metcalf gave the council a letter signed by fourteen owners requesting the town to consider expanding its borders, including the citizens of Piedmont Ave. Since the proposal, the Tbwn Council has given it minimal attention, as it remains preoccupied with the town’s water reservoir and wastewater project. Adjusting the border Bennett said that if the town council votes to adjust its borders to include the Piedmont residents, both the town and the county would have to be in agreement together with public forums gauging public opinion. “The Tbwn of Washington’s boundaries have historically been very consistent,” said Bennett. “Any decision to change the borders should not be taken lightly.” Mitchell responded that the comprehensive plan has always been considered as a living document and that the council should not be afraid to take up the issue. “I know that it will slip through the cracks if it’s not in the forefront,” said Mitchell. “We have been very busy with the wastewater and reservoir project.” Proposal sent to Town Planning Bennett said that the Town Council's first step would be to have the Town Planning Commission review the proposal and submit recommendations back to the Council. During discussion of the proposal, Planning Commission Chairman Gary Schwartz reminded the council that the commission was in the process of finishing the Historic District Ordinances, the Historic District Guidelines and the specific changes to the zoning ordinance as a result of the comprehensive plan. “In order to dedicate time to this issue we might have to schedule more meetings during the month,” he said. At this point the Town Planning Commission is working on documents to get the entire town recognized as a Historic District. Piedmont Avenue, has not been considered as a historic district in the process. The Council voted to send the proposal to the Town Planning Commission reminding Schwartz that the Town Planning Commission had a year to consider the proposal before action would be required from the council. During this time, the Town Planning Commission will look at whether the town should act to include Piedmont and if so, under what circumstances would it proceed. Schwartz said afterwards that the proposal will be AUCTION 5:00 PM FRIDAY.

The complete text of the Ordinances to be deleted from the County Code is available for inspection at the County Administration & Zoning Office, 290 Gay Street, Washington, VA 22747. The sections to be deleted are §170-38 A. (7), contained in the Zoning Chapter, and §111-1, contained in the Health Chapter. Further information is available by calling (540) 675-5330. All interested persons are invited to attend and to make comment on any or all of these amendments or to mail such comments to the County Administration and Zoning Office, PO Box 519, Washington, VA 22747. brought up for the Town Planning Commission meeting on Monday, September 24. Metcalf speaks During the public forum, William Metcalf approached the board and said that the citizens of Piedmont Avenue have adjusted the proposal to apply only to the houses that are connected to the town’s water system. He also encouraged the council to take a hard look at the proposal. “I don’t think that a boundary line is sacred and we’ve been consistently ignored,” Metcalf insisted. “It is an injustice and it’s time that we get the chance to be recognized as part of the town and have the right to vote as part of the town.” The Piedmont group includes fourteen property owners that are petitioning to be included within the Tbwn of Washington. Mt. Salem water cleanup Don Hearl, of the Environmental Systems Service (ESS) approached the board with a graph showing what was wrong with the town’s water system causing yellow water for residents of Mt. Salem Ave. He reported that the water system on Mt. Salem consists of new 8-inch PVC pipe that runs along near the old 4-inch castiron pipe. He said that the citizens who have rusty water are possibly connected to the old one. “There is debris in the line that we can’t get out using our current method of flushing,” Hearl said. Hearl reported that there should be other flushing valves further on down the line. These valve were rumored to have been paved over by the VDOT. “If we can find the valves and flush the 4-inch line we should be good,” Hearl said. The Council voted to allow the ESS to relocate the valves and re-flush the system. Water rate survey completed Project engineer Herb White reported that the water rate survey had been completed. The council was able to review before voting it into effect. Current rates show the bill that was around $12.00 for someone below 0-5,000 gallons use with an estimate that it will have the next bill go up to $13.80 for the first year. The highest use of water in the town will be about $30 dollars while the lowest usage will run about $.50 cents. The water rate survey charges more for those using more than 5,000 gallons. For the first four years the rates will be adjusted for an increase of 15%. Over a period of 30 years the town must raise $600,728 dollars for the water project with a $100,000 dollars for debt services cushion. The town voted to put the proposal into effect. This marked the first time that the town has raised the water rates for nearly fifteen years. “It’s been a nice picture that you’ve been able to paint for us,” said Council member Claudia Mitchell to White, “Thank you so much.” Pamela J.

It will continue undiminished and unblemished as a premiere eating establishment. While certainly contributing over the years to the town’s coffers, it has done much more than that. It has energized and revitalized not only the town but the entire county with its elegant and magical spirit. The growing reputation of the Inn as a “go to” destination for gourmet tastes has brought overnight guests, visitors and diners to Rappahannock County from cities, counties, states and countries around the world and there is nothing to say that this will change. As with any parting of ways, the two principles involved are in the process of negotiating the numerous properties that they currently share. What happens with those is news yet to come. But, as far as the Inn at Little Washington, it was created out of a labor of love, time, emotion and huge talent on the parts of Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch and their legacy to the world of fine dining will continue intact. Their Creation from a once former country store has grown into one of the finest restaurants in the world taking guests on a fabulous food journey amidst an atmosphere of pure whimsy and delight partnered with impeccable service. That legacy will live on. Down Memory Lane Our View Anchored From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 28 YEARS AGO. . . French Country Restaurant Opens in Washington The culinary history of Rappahannock County added a chapter last w eek with the opening of a French country restaurant by Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch - The Inn of Little Washington. For Patrick and Reinhardt it was the fulfillment of a dream that’s been five years in the dreaming. During that time the two partners have spent hundreds of hours planning and refining ideas as to what a country inn should embody. They visited, studied and worked at similar operations throughout the area. At the same time, they continued consultations with an architect on THE perfect design for their restaurant and settled on the building which formerly housed the Country Store of Washington, Virginia as first choice for a location. Neither Patrick nor Reinhardt are strangers to the county. Both of the partners have lived in the Sperryville area for the last six years. Patrick, who will direct the Inn’s kitchen as Master Chef, is originally from Washington, D.C. and discovered the “First Washington” as a child on family excursions to Skyline Drive. He attended Catholic University, George Washington University, Moy Institute of Oriental Cooking, L’Academe de Cuisine and the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Reinhardt, the Inn s "front man” and manager, is an Indiana native, who attended the University of Brussels in Belgium and Indiana University. He cultivated an interest in French food and wines while in Europe and worked for a catering cbmpany in the Midwest before making his home outside Sperryville six years ago. WTiile wanting to fulfill their mutual ambition to own and operate a country inn, the two men ran a successfully catering service throughout Rappahannock, Fauquier, Loudoun, and adjoining counties getting to know the area and the people. Patrick and Reinhardt credit part of the inspiration for their Washington Inn to L’Auberge Chez Francois, a highly successful French country inn and one of the District’s finest French restaurants. They insist they can keep charges reasonable and stay in business. We re doing a great deal of the work ourselves,” Patrick explained. Most places start out with the expense of paying a chef and then they have to pay a manager - big chunks right off the top.” By filling these two roles themselves, the partners hope to keep their expenses, and more importantly to customers, their prices down in a range that most Rappahannockians can afford. Although offerings change daily, entrees will generally average between $6 and $8 per person. Patrick and Reinhardt have great hopes for the success of their enterprise. The community has been keeping up with the progress of work at The Inn, watching with interest for signs indicating the restaurant would soon open. As renovation neared completion, prospective customers practically laid siege to the new Inn. fs.LETTNS SEASON BE6IM.., ..te-Wst-CtousT wuHM'eibwirrtmTiL WK' — y< jiT.WSEKTW.. /4IUU1NCE I TIW low Usr y mMy Letters Amissville boasts winners The jig’s up-the mystery is uncovered. The winners of the Amish quilt given away by Amissville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company was William Ryan. Mrs. Ann Me Whirt was the recipient of the wagon. Both are from Amissville. The sponsoring company extends thanks to all who donated, and who helped with the event. Thanks is also given the newspaper for the publicity. John L. Pearrc Project Chairman Amissvillc Concerned over Internet access It may be a lot harder for Virginia’s rural communities to get high-speed Internet access if the full Senate passes the Sen. Stevens (AK) telecommunications bill. While the bill allows for much needed competition among phone, cable, and Internet providers, it also wipes out a lot of protections for rural consumers. The two most important protections that rural communities lose are ‘build-out’ requirements, which require Video Providers to provide service to every community in their franchise area, and the ‘equal-pay* principle, which requires companies to charge the same price for the same service, no matter where the consumer lives. In practice, I’m concerned that rural communities would be hit the hardest, as video and Internet providers could raise prices or even withdraw service for rural areas. As the Internet becomes ever more important in the classroom and to the success of small businesses and local economies, we should make sure that both rural and urban communities are given the same advantages in term! of Internet access. As this bill comes before the Senate this month, I hope that Senator George Allen, who is campaigning on his allegiance to rural Virginia, supports adding protections for rural communities. His committee vote for the weak bill — which also fails to preserve Internet freedom by failing to ensure net neutralii ty— was disappointing. Ben Brennan Washington, D.C. Shutting out the public: Government behind closed doors The ugly topic of sewage sludge was on the agenda for the public meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors that met on September 6. Several citizens including this writer attended that meeting to hear how our elected officials felt about the prospect of having sludge spread on county land, and what they might do to regulate it. The ugly outcome of the day was that th^ Bo^rd of Supervisors decided against discussing their <dews on sludge in public, and against allowing the public at that meeting to express their views on the topic. Instead, they voted to take up the issue in closed session—after the public was dismissed— and in that session they decided not only to abandon the county’s ban on sludge, but also to take no action on a draft ordinance to regulate sludge that had been sitting before them for nearly five years. It was a swift and unexpected about-face in county policy, decided behind closed doors. The public was denied a chance to hear what individual supervisors may think on the subject, and denied any input in their considerations. This is not democratic government in action. This is a throwback to the old way— where the “good ole boys” met in the back room without any nosy voters hai^flfe around, to make decisionP&nd announce the outcome later. Virginia has a “open meetings” law designed to deter local governments from behaving this way. That law requires elected bodies such as county boards to meet, deliberate and make decisions in public, unless one of a few very specific exemptions from open meetings are met. Under the law, public bodies may hold closed meetings only for a few specific purposes. These include some personnel matters, such as interviewing job candidates, considering disciplinary actions, The Forum James P Gannon or evaluating the performance of public employees. Meetings may be closed to discuss purchasing or selling real estate, or investing public funds, or discussing an industry’s plan to locate in the area. The law also includes a possible loophole for real or threatened lawsuits. “Consultation with legal counsel and briefings by staff members or consultants pertaining to actual or probable litigation” can be a justification for closing a meeting, if open discussion might jeopardize the county’s legal position. However, a general worry that the county might be sued by somebody does not meet the law’s requirement, because “probable litigation” means litigation “specifically threatened” or expected soon from a “known party.” At the September 6 meeting, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke suggested that the supervisors discuss sludge behind closed doors because he believed it was probable that litigation might occur. The board swiftly seized upon Luke’s suggestion, voting to deal with the issue in private. That got them off the hook of having to express their views and possibly make somebody mad. Was the board justified in closing the meeting? I am not a lawyer, but I have read the law and I have my doubts. Only a court could decide. Luke acknowledged, in a telephone conversation this week, that he knows of no specific threat of a lawsuit against the county on the sludge issue. He said he based his recommendation to close the meeting on the fact that there have been lawsuits in Rappahannock and other counties over this matter in the past. It’s doubtful—or at least arguable—whether this general fear of getting sued meets the open meeting law’s requirement for “actual or probable” litigation. If the county board of supervisors can close a public meeting any time its legal counsel gets nervous over possible litigation, they will have created for themselves an easy way out of discussing controversial issues in public. That kind of loophole might be applied to any number of issues that come before the supervisors. The public has a right to hear what its elected officials think about controversial issues. Did any of our five supervisors argue behind closed doors for adopting an ordinance to regulate, test and monitor sludge applied in the county? Did any of them argue for the draft ordinance they have sat on for years? Did anyone dissent from the policy of lifting the ban and substituting nothing in its place? Voters ought to know, but they were not allowed to listen, or to give the board their views. Now that they have secretly deliberated and decided on their preferred course, the supervisors plan to hold a “public hearing” on sludge on October 2. This gives the pub lie a chance to sound off on the issue, but it’s after the fact, not before. It’s rather like allowing a defendant to make a public statement after he’s been sentenced to hang. Thanks, but I’d rather have made my case before being sentenced. The Virginia Supreme Court last week ruled that Culpeper County’s Board of Supervisors violated the state’s open-meetings law in 2004 when they met in private to discuss their differences with the county school board over a high school construction contract. The court ordered the county to pay attorney’s fees of over $100,000 incurred by local newspapers that sued to challenge the closed meeting. The court ruling indicates the state’s Supreme Court takes the meaning of the open meetings law seriously, and will closely scrutinize public bodies’justifications for closing meetings. The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors should bear this ruling in mind before closing future sessions. The public’s “right to know” is not just an empty slogan—it’s the law.

k/S/l t— | , £.VVU Panthers lose home game to Freedom Eagles By Charlie Spieremg Rappahannock News Staff Writer In spite of high spirits and an impressive opening offensive drive, the Rappahannock Panthers were unable to win last Saturday’s first home game on the new football field. The Panthers lost to the Eagles 1745. “We started off good and we were beating them in the first quarter, but we just fell apart,” said offensive coach Tim Pullen “It doesn’t matter how good your team is when you give them the ball eight times.” Of the ten turnovers in the game, eight of them went to the Freedom Eagles. In the first quarter, the Panthers started off strong with a 38 yard pass from quarterback Jonathan Butler to Bobby Czekaj. Following the huge gain the Panthers instantly led the team up to the end zone scoring their first touchdown with Butler handing off to Adam Gessner on a running play. The Panthers then proved that they were able to stop the Eagles offense, however, shortly after the turnover, the Panthers fumbled the ball. Following the fumble the Panthers were unable to stop the Eagles strong drive that scored 6 points, however they managed to stop the two point conversion play after Panther Steve Dodson (#16) caught the ball in the end zone. As the Panthers began returning the ball, a fumble by the Panthers caused the Eagles who immediately returned it for a touchdown, making the score 7-12. The Panthers tried again, working together successfully for a pass to Dean Hogan who lateraled the ball to Czekaj for a touchdown, making the score 14-12. In the following Eagles drive, they fumbled the ball with Corey Hitt recovering. The Panthers were unable to drive the ball any further which led the Panthers to make a punt attempt. During the punt attempt a high snap overshot the kicker sending the Eagles deep into Panther terri This allowed the Eagles to make another touchdown taking the score to 14-18. Hogan, made a 25 yard reception during the Panthers drive forward, however the Eagles broke up a reverse play which injured Bobby Czekaj. Czekaj sat out while the team was unable to pick up the first down. The following snap was too low which put the Eagles into Panther territory once again. In spite of the Panther’s defense attempt to stop the Eagles on their following drive, the Eagles pushed up to the 5 yard line and the 1/2 yard line Independent Termite Treatment Company Why pay so much?

The half ended with an interception by the Eagles making the score 32-14. Second half action When the Panthers returned after half-time it was clear that they had lost all hope as their return drive resulted in another fumble, which the Eagles picked up for another touchdown. The team was able to block the extra point, however the Eagles score rose to 38 against the Panthers 14. The Panthers return to the 39 yard line resulted in a hit in the stomach of Czekaj resulting in cramps that put him out of the game. Although the team was able to make a first down with Hogan, the subsequent passes went incomplete resulting in a pass to Adam Gessner being intercepted by the Eagles.

This matter will be a topic for discussion at the next State Board of Education meeting. If there is to be consideration of eliminating 6-7th grade math results from this year’s accreditation computations, the State Board meeting will be the forum for that discussion.

Treasure seekers on the hunt Annual CCLC Fall Auction and Party set for November 11 By Debbie Donehey Special to the Rappahannock News Amid the dusty, vintage finds at auctions, yard sales, shops, and bams - both local and far flung - a diligent and enthusiastic group of volunteers is busy rounding out and sprucing up the treasures that will be up for bid at the Child Care and Learning Center’s (CCLC’s) Eleventh Annual Fall Auction and Party, set for Saturday, November 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue. CCLC’s only fund raising event of the year, the auction takes a full year to plan, coordinate, and execute. This huge undertaking is spearheaded by the Friends of CCLC, a volunteer committee chaired by Debbie Donehey. The $25 entrance fee helps to cover the cost of the lavish spread of food and drink that is part of the evening’s festivities. Mary Arthur’s RCHS Culinary Arts Program is responsible for the food preparation, giving her students a real-life experience in catering a large event. Guests will be invited to browse through the Sursum Corda Shoppe for priced antiques and collectibles; sign up for any of the 50+ items and services for bid at the silent auction tables in the Boardroom; and get a close look at the impressing array of furniture, local art, and quality items that will be auctioned off beginning at 7 p.m. Doc Mitchell, auctioneer and part-time stand up comedian, is sure to put his own spin on the evening’s fun! CCLC will accept cash, checks, and credit cards. Live and silent auction items will be available for pre view at the Washington School on Friday night, November 10, from 6-8 p.m. Absentee bids will be accepted that evening, but nothing will be sold in advance. Auction proceeds will go toward CCLC’s Scholarship Fund. Completing its 29th year of serving families in our community, CCLC provides high quality preschool, day care, and after-school programs for local children at as low cost to families as possible. Via scholarships, CCLC is able to mainstream economically disadvantaged and developmentally delayed children with those who can afford full tuition. A not-forprofit institution, CCLC serves a representative cross-section of Jill children from our community. The Center also provides Rappahannock County’s Head Start program for 18 three- and four-year olds. “I cannot say enough about the CCLC Board, the CCLC Friends, and the dozens of loyal donors who support us year after year. When you come to this event on November 11 and see the beautiful furniture donated, the silver, the art, the jewelry, the services, the hours and hours of time donated by volunteers coordinating this event, you will realize what a wonderful community we have here that truly cherishes children. I am so proud to be a part of it!” If you’d like to make a donation, or have quality items to donate, please contact Rose Ann Sharp at 675-3237.

Special Education Advisory Committee to meet On Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 3:45 p.m. at the high school library we will hold the first meeting of the 2006-07 school year for the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC). This was formerly known as the Local Advisory Committee (LAC). Present Committee members include Marsha Thompson, Marrieta Verrill, Karen Alexander, Sherry Hamill-Huff, Edith Clark, Linda Clark, Janet Jenkins, Elizabeth Lee-Harris, Jennings Hobson, Ester Settle, Katie Massie, Fran Krebser and Nancy Reeve. December 5 - 9 is National Inclusion Week. The purpose of this week is to recognize the ever-increasing diversity among student population and to celebrate the work performed on behalf of all children, particularly those with disabilities. In anticipation of this, our topic of discussion for this meeting will be Inclusion in the General Education Classroom. The philosophy of Rappahannock’s Special Services Department is one that provides opportunities for learning for a diversity of learners. Ideally, our schools are places where children are valued and differences are seen as opportunities, not obstacles. The inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education, curriculum plays a big part in this learning opportunity. The September 28th meet ing win organize ior me upcoming year with appointment of officers, discussion of goals for the upcoming year and planning for National Inclusion Week. SEAC is open to any and all parents, teachers, community members that wish to attend and learn more about inclusion and participate in the discussion of how we can improve each Rappahannock student’s classroom experience. Please RSVP Fran Moore Krebser at the School Board Office (540.987.8773) if you are interested in participating in this year’s SEAC. r DON’T REPLACE YOUR 1 I OLD BATHTUB...

Certified Arborist Peer Repellent That The escalating deer population means trouble for local landscapes. While they look harmless enough, deer devour plants, foliage, and shrubs, leaving gardens barren. Reducing deer damage to your landscape is now possible. Bartlett Tree Experts has developed a new deer repellent program that can be customized specifically for your property. Extensive research conducted by scientists at our 350 acre Lab means we only use the most effective products which pose no risk to people, pets, or the deer. While deer feed all year long, they cause the heaviest damage to shrubs and trees during the winter. That is why it is important to take advantage of this valuable service now. Treatments applied in autumn will help repel deer from plants before they develop feeding patterns and before their browsing becomes damaging. For more information on deer repellent programs, or any of the tree and shrub care services I can provide for you, please call me at 1-877-Bartlett (1-877-227-6538) or email me at jwood@bartlett.com. Remember, this sen/ice is most effective when performed in autumn, so please contact me today! BARTLETT TREE EXPERTS Schools From Page A6 Superintendents’ conference on Monday, September 25. RCPS to add Bus Route to congested Amissville Area Before the end of September the RCPS plans to add a bus route in the Amissville area. Superintendent/ Transportation Director Bob Chappell and Bus Shop Supervisor Tim Beahm are meeting with bus drivers to determine the best way to implement the change. Details of the new route should be finalized early next week. The bus drivers of students on the routes affected by the change will hand out written notices for students to give to parents. Savings Through Energy Management (STEM) recommendations adopted by School Board. The Board has approved these “No Cost” recommendations. We ask that all employees implement these as soon as possible: • Blinds and curtains should be closed to conserve heat in the winter. • When classes are not in rooms, lights should be turned off. • If teachers do not have task lamps already, the lamps should be considered (These are not budgeted for 06-07. I brought in a spare lamp from home for my desk. It has a small fluorescent bulb.)*. • When only the teacher is in the room, task light use should be maximized. Natural lighting should be optimized (open blinds and curtains where feasible)*. • Windows should remain closed when rooms are being heated (or cooled)* to conserve energy. (Windows can be opened for ventilation when HVAC systems are not on during periods of moderate temperatures.)* • All unused appliances should be turned off to conserve electrical energy. • Computers should also be unplugged when not in use. • All outside fixtures should be turned off during the day (These are on timers).* • All light fixtures should be turned off whenever there is sufficient light already entering the classroom. • Supt. Chappell added comments in parentheses above. Also, we are taking steps to address through the construction project some thermostats that are not operating properly at RCES.

School Superintendent Dr. Robert Chappell, Principal Roger Mello, and several other program coordinators exhibited several of the RCHS programs to the visitors giving them a flavor as to how the rural school operated. After greeting the guests at the entrance of the school, Mello ushered the group onto the auditorium stage where the Culinary Arts students served a delicious lunch. Following the main course, Mello introduced Amy O’Leary, who spoke about the federal grants given to the school for the new health and fitness center. Dr. Chappell used this as an example of how the national government sponsors programs in schools. He said that the grants had been sponsored by the government upgrading physical education to produce more fit, healthier students. Chef Mary Arthur gave a presentation on the Culinary Arts Program and introduced her current team of students. Following coffee and dessert, Headwaters chairperson Helen Williams gave a speech to the guests explaining how the Next Step program enables first generation students to go to college. “It doesn’t sound like much but we managed to get 12 first generation students to go to college,” said Williams proudly. Mello then led the visitors on a tour of the school’s programs leading them outside to view the Farm-Tb-Table program. Trista Scheurlein mentioned how the program taught children to love and appreciate farming. As the visitors viewed the tomato plants and various herbs, Scheurlein talked about how the program had been sponsored by local citizens, mentioning the Cole Family Foundation, Bill and Mitzi Young’s Farmland Fund and the Rappahannock County r EAGER TO START: A group of visitors from regional South Asia listen to Dr. Chappell’s opening remarks. Farm Bureau. “Farming is important to the youth,” said Erivagama Suranimala as she smelled some of the herbs, “I am veiy pleased to see it.” A shop tour led the group to see the hands on atmosphere created by Scott Scholosser, the shop instructor. “We teach them a lot just by getting them to do it themselves,” he said. Scholosser also explained how the program included construction on various projects throughout the community helping the kids to learn. “It’s important to give something back to the community as the students learn skills,” he said, “we run it like a business so it teaches them business practices as well.” Scholosser showed the visitors the computerized mill and exhibited several picture frames that the class had been working on. One of the visitors, Mohamed Rashal, took great interest in the program. He said that it was good to see that students were trained to do things at home. Bruener Newton, an educator from Pakistan, also examined the woodwork and talked at length with Scholosser. The group followed Dr. Chappell and the team to see Technology Teacher Ron Vickers.

War dominates Senate debates By Kali Schumitz Rappahannock News SUIT Writer It is often said that “all politics is local,” but, in this week’s two debates in the Virginia Senate race, all politics was national and personal. At the two forums, Republican Sen. George Allen and Democratic challenger Jim Webb were asked about the war in Iraq, their comments in the recent and distant past that have offended some, their vices and their opinions on immigration and health care. During a nationally televised debate on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday and again during a debate in Tysons Comer Monday, hosted by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, neither candidate had much to say about issues affecting Northern Virginia, where both currently live. During the chamber debate, the candidates bickered over who has spent more time in southwestern Virginia and explained their policies on voting rights for Washington, D.C. The candidates were asked about the ongoing debate over transportation funding in the Virginia General Assembly, the result of which will likely have a significant impact on Northern Virginia commuters. Allen and Webb both responded by expressing support for publicprivate partnerships and toll roads to help fund major road projects. Allen highlighted some of the projects that have received federal fund during his tenure, such as the Dulles Airport rail extension and widening Interstate 66 inside the beltway. Webb said Virginia gets back only 91 cents for every $1 its citizens pay in federal gasoline taxes, adding he would try and improve that ratio. Aside from those brief departures, discussion of the war in Iraq, the economy and Allen’s and Webb’s past foibles dominated both debates. Allen was asked again to explain his use of the word “macaca,” which is an ethnic slur in certain countries, that he directed at a Webb campaign volunteer who is of Indian descent. He maintains that he made the word up and meant no offense by it. Webb offered a partial apology for a column he wrote in the 1970s arguing against full participation by women in the military and tried to put it in context. He said he apologizes if anyone was insulted by the tone of the column but said it was an important conversation to have at that time, adding that he opened up more positions to women while serving as Secretaiy of the Navy under President Ronald Reagan. Allen said he stands by his ‘Cooter’ to hold Webb fund raiser By Monty Tayloe Rappahannock News Staff Writer A fund raiser for Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Jim Webb will be held on Sunday October 1 at the Harris Hollow farm of former Georgia Congressman and entertainer Ben “Cooter” Jones and wife Alma Viator. Billed as a “Blue Ridge Rally,” the event will be a large yard party for Webb to “try to raise as much money as possible,” according to hostess Alma Viator. Webb, a longtime acquaintance of Johnson and Viator, will attend and speak at the event. “It’s a free event, and people from all the surrounding counties are invited,” said Viator. The event will feature barbecue, a performance by “Cooter’s Garage Band,” and an auction of US pobtical memorabilia. According to Viator, the auction will include old pobtical campaign buttons, tickets to Presidential inaugurations, and a print of a Norman Rockwell painting of John F. Kennedy. All of the proceeds from the auction will go to Webb’s campaign, and the Blue Ridge Rally will provide attendees with several opportunities to contribute to the campaign.

Webb, a decorated Vietnam veteran, did not outline any specifics of how he would improve conditions in Iraq but said the best hope for that country is to engage its neighbors to try and get them to help stabilize the country.

It says “Country Squire” on the sign at the gate, but Doug and Ginny Bruton want everyone to know that it’s been all work and no “country squiring” to make their new home in Rappahannock County exactly as they always wanted it. And “always” goes back quite a few years. Ginny and her family, the Terhunes, moved to Amissville from New Jersey in the 60s and quickly learned to love and savor life in this county. So when Ginny married Doug, they quickly got themselves a piece of property in Castleton. There was a old house, a com crib, a bam, dated 1802, and a summer kitchen. It turned out that the summer kitchen was once a little country store that was dragged over from the other side of county Rt 622. The Brutons took down the old house, saving timbers, floorboards and the like. They turned the old com crib into an antique/craft shop, and fixed up the summer kitchen to live in on weekends.

It seems that every piece of furniture, every painting, every platter and dish, every toy and memento has a story. Sometimes the story is from Doug’s family in Kinston, North Carolina, especially the fireplace mantel, with an 1885 Gilbert Grandmother’s clock atop it. Sometimes it is from Ginny’s family home in New Jersey, - where the church chandelier, Dutch dining room server and * chairs claim their birth. Otherantiques have been lovingly collected over the years to form a harmonious whole, as well as interesting combinations. The living/dining area, with brilliant swatches of red and blue upholstered furniture, features 19th century game tables, blue willow ware china, an antique fainting couch, and a beautiful oak armoire fitted with shelves displaying family pictures and other small family heirlooms. Scattered throughout the house are hand made rugs designed and made by, Ginny’s mother. The modern, white painted ! kitchen, is dressed up with handmade bird houses and other pieces of folk art that the ' Brutons have refurbished, designed, or copied. Ginny’s mother’s collection of cookie cut- * tors, and an old pie safe keep up ; the country theme. In the back - hallway, old fishing creels, berry baskets, crocks and an old barn. lantern are displayed. , There are three bedrooi one on the main floor and on upstairs.

It’s clear that Doug and Ginny Bruton have worked long and hard to make this little bit of Rappahannock County into the place of their dreams, a place where the values of family, of land, and of heritage are all cherished.

• Classifieds/B9-B12 September 21, 2006 •itt. Thornton timber telling of new season Opener prep for rich autumn Engagements , By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer SPERRYVILLE — Providing a preview of the lucrative sanctioned timber stakes circuit this fall, Saturday’s Thornton Hill Hounds Ppint-to-Point turned into a jumping showcase. , The open timber feature brimmed with luminaries, headed by last year’s winner Fields of Omagh, who used the score as stepping-stone to International Gold Cup victory fiye weeks later. Two-time Pennsylvania Hunt Cup winner Dr. Ramsey also lined up for the 2 1/2-mile prep, as did three saddled by veteran trainer Richard Valentine — Loughbeg Rambler, Te Akau Five and High Watermark. At the wire, though, recent timber convert Father Paul overshadowed the star-studded field. Father Paul dragged rider Robbie Walsh away from the start to lead by the first, holding steady as the closely bunched group circled the steeply rolling Thornton Hill Farm course “He didn’t quite settle,” said an understated Walsh, 30, a native of County Kilkenny, Ireland. “I think the smaller fences and the downhill runs got him a little revved. He’s got quite an engine.” Father Paul, 8, is a son of sprint record holder Binalong, from the speed family of In Reality. ’ Fields of Omagh loomed closest in the early running, with Dr. Ramsey and Loughbeg Rambler just behind. Tom Foley, who came out of a short-lived retirement to race this fqll, moved Fields of Omagh to challenge with a half-mile to go as the leaders jumped the second-last. Walsh said that Father Paul seemed to get a second wind with the fresh challenge. He said trainer Janet Elliot had actually been uncertain “if the horse would get the distance,” longer in timber races than hurdle races. Trainer Bay Cockbum sent out flat winner I’m Telling. Far from wilting from Fields of Omagh’s assault, Father Paul dug in, swinging inside after the last and zipping to 2 1/2-length victory. “I think going just that ‘step’ slower in timber suits him,” Walsh said of the win, which in 6:04 was the fastest of three at the distance on the day. Father Paul converted to timber this spring after two modest seasons over hurdles. He broke his timber maiden at the Potomac pointto-point in May before being put away for the summer. Fields of Omagh finished second, with Loughbeg Rambler third. All three are expected next in National Steeplechase Association sanctioned races later this month or in October. The maiden timber winner, too, looks like a future ‘chasing standout. Straight Gin, who started in the 2002 Preakness Stakes, is the first steeplechaser for owner Kim Zito. Husband Nick Zito, who trained both Straight Gin and sire Go For Gin — 1994 Kentucky Derby winner — gave Straight Gin to Kim after the colt broke down in the Preakness. Kim Zito tried Straight Gin, soon a gelding, as a show jumper, but he proved too tough for the arena, and the horse was sent to trainer Richard r Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Betsy Parker SATURDAY SCENES: Fields of Omagh, left, briefly led eventual timber victor Father Paul. Valentine to convert to hurdles. “I could tell, the first time we ever schooled him, that he was a Maryland Hunt Cup horse” in the making, Valentine said, referring to the four-mile spring marathon over five-foot fences. “He is an incredible jumper. Of course, Kim said, ‘what’s a Maryland Hunt Cup?* She had no idea.” After three uninspiring starts over hurdles last summer, Valentine spent the winter and spring schooling Straight Gin over timber. In his debut Saturday, jockey Chip Miller settled off a steady lead set by veteran Reverse Acquittal, taking command coming off the mountain last time around. Miller asked for a big effort at the last to withstand a late return by Reverse Acquittal’s and Floor Play to win by two. “When Richard Valentine calls and tells you he’s got a good one for you to ride, you listen,” said Miller, 1996 U.S. champion rider. “This horse has all the talent in the world.” In the day’s hurdle events, Middleburg’s Kinross Farm dominated, winning both divisions of the maiden, with Defrocked and Haggard, and the open hurdle, with Extra Check.

Adams has captured the spirit of landscapes both abroad and in Rappahannock County. Rappahannock artist has show in the District By Jean Elizabeth Special to the Rappahannock News Having moved to Rappahannock full time just a year ago, local artist Kevin H. Adams is back in the District this month - or at least his artwork is. Last Saturday, Gallery Plan B opened a solo exhibition of Kevin’s paintings, which include many familiar Rappahannock landscapes, as well as scenes from Kevin’s travels around the world. From cityscapes to paintings showing the warm spectrum of fall colors, this exhibition communicates as a personal journal the artist’s love of places he has been. “These are all paintings of places that have haunted me since I first saw them,” said Adams. “They are all places I would like to return to again and again, but I won’t have that opportunity with many of them. Painting them helps me to cement my personal relationship with these places.” From paintings of Old Rag and White Oak Canyon, to the River Seine through Paris, the canals of Venice, and See ADAMS, Page B7

Daddy’s last days Loved and m issed by Florine, Wayne, Jack, Bobby, Connie, Becky and the rest of family. The last words I heard that you said, “I’m going to bed.” They still echo in my head. The most ominous thing, Was when my phone rang, It was mama saying you were dead. “Wayne, get up here now your Daddy’s gone,” These words hit me like stone... But when we arrived and saw the EMTs, My heart stopped...Oh, God please... Thoughts rushing back to a few hours before, I never guessed I wouldn’t see you alive anymore. They tried to constrain what I was to see, But I wouldn’t let them, I broke free, This was my Dad and maybe they were wrong, I knew he wasn’t well, but he was strong. He’d survived many set r ImpuingsY Tfwugfit& | by Randy Minter I JEWISH TRADITION According to Jewish tradition, the body of the deceased should be buried within 24 hours, although exceptions are made when the body must be transported great distances or family members live far away. Embalming is waived, and there is no viewing, as it is preferred that the deceased be remembered as he or she was in life. There is a traditional washing of the remains, after which the body is dressed in shrouds. The white linen garments help to illustrate that we are all equal in death. The body should also be accompanied at all times between death and burial. At the cemetery, family members and close friends toss the first shovelfuls of dirt on the casket, followed by others. We honor the practices and rituals of all traditions. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we're here to personalize your services as you wish and prefer. We're at 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton. Call 347-3431. Plane send your questions or comments to my office or e-mail me at: moserfh@blackhawke.net ",-t yood name i.s hetter than precious oil and the <la\ of death than the day of one's birth." -Solomon backs many times before, He’ll be all right I was sure. I’d just seen you, and we had been talkin’ And I showed you what I’d bought at that auction. You made comments and kind of grinned, I had no clue that your life would end. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t pushed you to get those tests done, Maybe you’d still be with us at home. I still go over all the events of just two days preceding, That Thursday night when Sissy called about all that bleeding. The heart catheterization, the surgery at UVA, The doctor said you’d be all right with an overnight stay. Yet, you came home the same day and seemed you’d be all right, Then things started going down hill on that Thursday night. In February when you were in your hospital room, And the doctors were all talking in words of gloom. You refused to have the test they wanted to perform, Even though you promised your last bom. Yet you were afraid and I told you it was your decision to make, You opted not do it ...was it a mistake? Wayne Baldwin Culpeper Explore the “Way of the Dreamer” ‘Healing Through Dreams” “Active Dreaming for Soul Recovery” By Robert Moss Special to the Rappahannock News Our dreams show us what is going on inside our bodies and what we need to stay well. When we do become ill, our dreams give us fresh and powerful imagery for self-healing. By working with personal imagery - and changing the images in positive ways - we can actually create a new blueprint for the body. When we learn to go back inside our dreams and dream them onward, we open paths of healing for others and ourselves. Dreaming is central to soul recovery - reclaiming vital energy we lost through pain or heartbreak, guilt or addiction. In this exciting, high-energy program you’ll learn: • How to improve your dream recall • How to seek healing and guidance through dream incubation • How to build creativity and intuition through dream journaling • The Lightning Dream work technique - a fun, highenergy way to open a safe space to share dreams, receive helpful feedback and move towards creative action that you can practice with intimate friends or complete strangers in a few minutes just about anywhere • The Dream Reentry technique - how to go back inside your dreams to clarify messages, move beyond fear, talk to dream characters and have wonderful fun in a larger reality • How to work with your personal “dream doctor” and use dreams for self-diagnosis and as sources of powerful imagery to aid in healing and recovery Who was King Carter?

[MC & VISA .V* Acim N*| NO BEYERS PREMIUMS By Robert Moss Special to the Rappahannock News In our practice of Active Dreaming, we have learned that when we help people to open the dreamgates, work with the spontaneous gifts of their dreams and travel Consciously into the dreamspace, we often facilitate soul recovery. Shamans understand that soul loss is the root of much illness and confusion in our lives. It may be caused by pain or trauma or heartbreak, by wrenching,life choices, or by wimping out on our best and bravest dreams. It can reduce us to the condition of the walking dead, passionless and dreary, forever trying to fit in with other people’s needs and expectations, lost to our pwn deeper purpose. i , Soul retrieval is a shamanic operation in which tne practitioner journeys to Dnng Daqk lost soul-parts and puts them into the client’s body (typically by blowing into one or more of the energy centers, most often the heart or the crown of the head). Soul recovery is a practice in which we help each other to become self-healers and function as our own shamanic practitioners - to gather and integrate oqr own families of selves and bring wholeness and vital energy into our lives. Dream reentry frequently opens the road to soul recovery, because our dreams show us where our missing parts may have gone, and invite us to reach in and bring them back. When we dream again and again of the “old place” (maybe »a childhood home, maybe a space we shared with a former partner) we may be learning that a part of ourselves - a part scared away by trauma, or a part that resisted a choice we made' - is “stuck” in that place, or went missing at the time we lived there. By going back inside the dream of the “old place” we may be able to locate that lost aspect of our own identity and energy and find the way to bring it back into our hearts and our lives. Typically, soul recovery of this kind will require reassurance and negotiation. Our younger self may need to be reassured that she is not going to be hurt in the way she was hurt before. She may need to be convinced that we will include things in our lives that she will enjoy and will engage her passions. . • In the practice of soul recovery, we support each other without necessarily playing shamanic practitioner for each other - since, again, the heart of this practice is to assist everyone who is able to become a self-healer. The core technique is Dream Reentry and Tracking, with the focus placed on locating and reclaiming lost aspects of soul energy that may have surfaced in a dream or a life memory. The tracker may be required to play an activist role - for example, by helping the dreamer to move beyond a fear, by running interference if there are negative entities in the field, by bringing in the tracker’s own animal guardians, or by negotiating directly with some of the dreamer’s younger or “other” selves. Before undertaking the soul recovery journey, dreamer and tracker should try to reach a clear agreement on how far the tracker should go (or not go) in assisting the healing. What do we do for a person who has suffered soul loss and does not have a dream? This is of course a common condition The Iroquois say that if we have lost our dreams, we have lost our souls - at least, the part of our soul-self that is the dreamer and remembers the deeper life. Dream Transfer is the core technique to practice when we are trying to help someone who has lost his or her dreams. We journey for them and grow a dream for them that they can be helped to enter and can provide an authentic portal for self-healing. Soul Recovery is a central theme in the Robert Moss book Dreamways of the Iroquois. It also is the theme of a weekend workshop he will lead on Oct 7-8 offered at Hearthstone School near Sperryville.

Governor Kaine visited Little Washington Governor Tim Kaine and his wife Anne Holton visited Little Washington over the weekend. They stayed at the Middleton Inn on Saturday where they had stayed three years ago for an anniversary. They were joined by Governor Rhine's childhood friend and his wife from Kansas City, Missouri. - They dined at The Inn at I^ittle Washington and spent Sunday walking through the village stopping at different shops including R.H. Ballard and the Middle Street Gallery Vhere Governor Kaine’s friend purchased a large sculpture by artist Janet Brome. 1 Members of their party Stayed at the Heritage House on Main Street. f J Sunday morning’s lovely weather found them having a delightful breakfast on the porch of the Middleton Inn overlooking the Blue Ridge mountains. It was particularly special as it was prepared by our own Mary Arthur who heads up the Culinary Arts Program at the Rappahannock County High School. According to Arthur, Kaine is the third governor that she has. cooked for and there may be. plans in the works for the pulinary students to pay a visit to the executive mansion. t Mayor Eugene Leggett greeted Governor Kaine and his wife after breakfast. ^ “He was interested in the history of the town,” said Photo by Jeanne Brown FIT FOR A KAINE: Governor Tim Kaine and his wife Anne Holton stayed at the Middleton Inn on Saturday and visited with Mayor Eugene Leggett on Sunday morning. Leggett who found him extremely personable. Cooler weather coming September is a beautiful month. The weather will be cooler, the humidity will finally pack up and leave us and the leaves will start to turn yellow, orange and red before crumbling into a brown heap in October. The geese are already flocking over. Fall is the season when many travelers come to the country to enjoy the colors and Some things change • • • * I hope you have been enjoying the change in the weather as much as I have. Temperatures in the 60s and 70s are much more to my liking than when they were in the 80s and 90s. And the rain finally came back for a visit. It was getting a bit overdue. Do you remember those first lettuce and tomato sandwiches of early summer? Fresh out of the garden, and you thought you would always have that for lunch. Then the weather cools a little and we see another sign of the changing seasons when we begin to prefer a bowl of hot vegetable soup or chili to the lettuce and tomato sandwich. Homecoming And the big carnival is over, and the place has been cleaned up spic and span, and the apple harvest begins. And homecoming is at the Flint ■Hill Methodist Church this Sunday.

September 11 And, finally, I hope you spent a moment or two on September 11, to remember all those who perished or were injured when our country came under attack 5 years ago. Somehow, some way, this country will prevail, but we live in a different world now, and it will continue to be a rough road for some time to come. Some folks say that because of the actions we took following those attacks, we have become the most hated country in the world, and we should just quit and go home. Maybe so. I think their memory is short and their logic is faulty. Somebody hated us before those planes flew into the twin towers in New York and into the Pentagon. Speaking only for myself, I am thankful somebody had enough testosterone left to do something about it. fruit harvest.

After a 30 year career with the government, Ivan had retired from a position at the US Post Office and built a home in Sperryville. Mr. Hall was bom in 1923. Like so many others, Mr. Hall’s family had become impoverished during the Depression and moved from a comfortable life on 1000 acres in Illinois to live with family in Hillsville, Virginia.

He worked for Dan River Mills, later did railroad mail work, pnd ultimately worked his way up to being in charge of general accounting for the US Post Office. He was awarded a White House Fellowship, but was unable to accept it when USPS became a quasi-corporate entity.

Where everybody knows your name You know there’s something to be said for a place where when you walk in they call you by name and ask how you’ve been doing. The Chester Gap Grocery is one of those kind of ' places, a place where it just sort of lifts your spirits when you ■ ’ happen to stop in. Sonny and Mary Williams are the owners and spend much of their time there manning the register and supplying that one thing that most big box stores can’t, a personal interest in their customers. Sonny and Mary know most everyone who comes in their door by their first name and always ask how their day is going. You know I have to give l ’ I my wife credit for pointing out * *to me that we should make it a » point to stop in at the store ■■ .• «whenever we need only one or , • !tWo items instead of driving all l * ,’the way to town. If we don’t *) support such local businesses - * like Chester Gap Grocery then ’ • one day we’ll find ourselves *1 wishing we could stop in and l' just pass the time. * * * I personally have many •I'memories of stopping into the * • l store as a child with one friend '•Jor another to get a coke and * t ‘then sitting on the porch to »**drink it while listening to the *, *! older men talking. I learned a ’ • *lot from those gentlemen. I learned that at even at what I then considered to be old, Albert Cameron still had a grip as strong as an ox and must have been a heck of a guy when he was “coming up’ as they say. ’ Albert’s brother Delaney Cameron was there too along with Billy and Bradley Pullen, also Billy Wines and Leo 1 Williams and of course Bradley ’ Williams who I thought then would always be there. They 1 always had something funny to say or would try to pull one over on us, sometimes we’d see it coming and sometimes we’d gain some valuable experience 1 that did indeed come in handy later on in life. Some of these gentlemen have passed on to better places and fortunately some are still with us yet, still sharing that insight and wit that helped shape my on life in one way or another. Thank you Sonny and Mary Williams for giving us all powerful memories and for providing Adams From Page B1 the vineyards of Italy, Adams has a lot to tell us about these places, and also about his experiences there. Adams has a convincing ability, with brush and paint, to portray the breezes that hit him, the shadows he watched shift while painting on location. His perspective ranges from ' expansive panoramas to inti' mate slivers of the landscape built of sparkling moments of color, shape, and shadow. Interestingly, some of the largest works (2x4 feet) have the most intimate subjects - a segment of giant redwood trunk in the foreground, a few yards of a stream, while some of the small. est pieces (measured in inches) ' contain a full horizon. Adam’s love-affair with the ' landscape and his choice of composition communicate a strong reaction to what he has seen, and its attraction to him. The viewer knows what colors a summer sunrise over Venice presents, and can identify the same patterns in the randomly stacked hay of a Rappahannock field that caught the artist’s eye. The exhibition makes for a journey to the other-worldly hills of Meteora, Greece, and back ■ again to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Trained at the Minneapolis College of Art and design and at the American Institute in Southern France, as an officer in the United States Marine Corps Adams was recognized for his artistic ability and assigned as a Combat Artist. In 1992 and 1994, the Department of the Interior commissioned two significant collections of work from Adams who painted the back country and remote areas of the Grand Canyon National Park and Glacier National Park for their respective 75th and 85th anniversaries. Many of his paintings also have been chosen by the Department of State to hang in American embassies around the world through its “Art In Embassies Program.” Adams currently lives in Washington, VA. where he and his partner Jay Brown own and run the Gay Street Inn. Long View Gallery in Sperryville represents Adams locally. His show at Gallery Plan B will be up through October 15, and some of his work can be seen on the gallery website: www.gallery planb.com.
