Rappahannock News, September 28, 2006

candidates for The Rappahannock News interviewed each of the three candidates running for the position of Piedmont Supervisor this November. The candidates were asked to give their opinions Kan^S’l&'Lfrwriter on issues important to the Piedmont District and Rappahannock County. Eddie Wayland According to Piedmont District candidate Eddie Wayland, being a supervisor is a way to maintain a long connection between his ancestors and Rappahannock“I love Sperryville and Rappahannock County. I’ve had family in this county for several hundred years , and it’s time for me to be a part of this county,” explained the soft spoken Wayland. Wayland is 54-years-old, born in the county, and has lived in Sperryville for the vast majority of his life. This year’s Piedmont supervisor race is his first flirtation with politics. He retired to the Sperryville area ten years ago after selling his successful software business, and he believes his business experience is an See WAYLAND, Page A2 Dr. Monira Rifaat Dr. Monira Rifaat believes that experience is the important consideration in electing a supervisor. Rifaat is the only candidate that currently holds political office in the county. She serves as elected director from Rappahannock and Chairperson of the Culpeper Soil and Water District, and has served on the county’s Farmland Preservation Committee and Water Quality Assurance Committee since their inception. She’s also served on the boards of Headwaters , the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance and the Rappahannock Farmer’s Association. “I have demonstrated my ability to serve the community. I See RIFAAT, Page A2 Katherine Estes-Baader For Katherine “Kim” Estes-Baader, being a supervisor is all about the people. “I think the most important thing a supervisor can do once they’re elected is represent their constituents. It’s important to hear the voice of the people, and I think would be representative of the people of Sperryville,” said Estes-Baader. If so, Estes-Baader would be following the family tradition started by her father, the late Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes. Estes-Baader said that her father always taught her to be involved in her community.

The Town Planning Commission is now looking into the possibility of expanding the town borders beyond the existing town boundaries thus including those residents of Piedmont Avenue who have requested to be included in Washington. The proposal was made to the town council after William and Jessica Metcalfe collected signatures from Piedmont Avenue property owners in June. The citizens group of about thirteen people wants the town to extend its borders in order to include their property in the town boundaries. The Metcalfes hired former Tbwn Attorney Doug Baumgardner to introduce the proposal to the Tbwn Council in June. “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 during the June meeting, “It suggests to the beholder that it is part of the town.” The proposal was referred by the Tbwn Council to the Tbwn Planning Commission to make a recommendation. Planning Commission takes limited action The Piedmont proposition only includes about thirteen residents who live on Piedmont Avenue and are connected to the town’s water system. These citizens have signed the petition and want to be part of the town. “For centuries the Piedmont Avenue section has been left out of the town,” said William Metcalfe during the Planning Commission’s public hearing. “Out of fairness, we think that it should be included into the town, especially as you move forward with the wastewater project.” Sandra Richardson represented other citizens from the “country” part of Piedmont Avenue, not included in the proposal. “It seems that nobody knows where the town begins and where the county begins,” she said. “I don’t want to be part of the town.” Piedmont resident Johnny Summers, one of those who signed the petition, spoke about his current sewage problem, aligning his plight with citizens of the town. “I drink the water from the town,” he said, “but I can’t vote for the people that control the water.” “The Planning Commission has the responsibility to make a recommendation on whether or not to expand the boundary of the town and how to incorporate these citizens if the motion will go forward,” said Town Planning Commission chairman Gary Schwartz. “We are going to explore all the ramifications on the wastewater hookups, the impact on the historic district, the town and the residences impacted by the See TOWN, Page A3 Photo by Linda Heimstra Ready for Rae Local artist Davette Leonard is drawing attention to the outside of Rae’s Place in Sperryville.

Virginia 22747 __ __ Wayland From Page A1 asset in the race for Piedmont supervisor. “I ran a company of several hundred employees for many years,” he said. Wayland’s stance on many important Rappahannock issues reflects his business background and he emphasizes fiscal responsibility and a slow growth approach to Rappahannock’s future. According to Wayland, growth is the most important issue to Piedmont District voters. “If I had to pick one issue over another, keeping Rappahannock as we. know it, and controlling the growth were most important to a majority of people,” said Wayland. If elected supervisor, Wayland wants to handle the problem by concentrating future growth on the edges of Rappahannock County’s villages. This would also be part of Wayland’s strategy for fixing another problem in the county. “There is definitely a problem with affordable housing for young people and older people on fixed incomes in this county,” said Wayland. He believes that the county should look to encouraging the development of small parcels outside the villages, to create cheaper real estate. “A young person just starting out can’t afford 25 acres with a house. We definitely need to look at growing our villages more,” said Wayland. Wayland’s emphasis on fiscal responsibility also shows itself when he talks about taxes in the county. “If you go back five years, there are people who had houses worth $75,000 then that are worth $4 - $500,000 now. . . This is a big issue, and the county needs to be very responsible with the way people are taxed,” said Wayland. For Wayland, the proposed two cent Conservation Easement district that galvanized the county last spring was not an example of being responsible. “I was against [the proposed Conservation Easement District]. I’m all for scenic easements, I think the county has done a good job with them. But I don’t think we should have all the citizens paying for them. That two cents in the tax rate can make a big difference to some of the citizens of Sperryville,” said Wayland. The question that currently occupies Rappahannock concerns the land application of sludge, up for discussion at a Board of Supervisors public hearing on October 2,. and Wayland weighed in on that as well. “I am definitely against sludge being used on land in Rappahannock County . I would like to see the supervisors do anything within the law they can to make it difficult to use sludge in Rappahannock,” said Wayland. Overall, Wayland believes that the current county government has done a good job, and can’t find much that he would change if elected. “I don’t know that I would change anything dramatically. I want to fight the fight for slow growth, I want to be fiscally responsible to the taxpayers. I’m retired, and I’m available,” said Wayland. Rifaat From Page A1 am a student of the issues, and that gives me a very strong platform,” explained the retired medical pathologist. Rifaat was bom in Alexandria, Egypt, but has lived outside of Sperryville for the last 26 years, farming a prize winning herd of Angus beef cattle. For Rifaat, the central issues of concern for Piedmont voters are development and high taxes. “People are telling me they want the county to remain unchanged, and they are talking about their t&x burden.” Rifaat believes that the county’s high taxes reflect a number of issues, including the high retirement costs for county employees, and the drop in state dollars going toward Rappahannock’s schools. “When there is less funding to the schools through the [Local Composite Index] the burden falls on the taxpayers,” said Rifaat. She believes that while the proposed two cent Conservation Easement District was the focal point forHhe public, it was just one of many factors that contributed to the high tax rate. “The budget is a multi faceted concern. The county needs to explore other avenues that don’t over burden the taxpayer,” said Rifaat She has a more focused opinion on the subject of affordable housing in Rappahannock County. “‘Affordable’ is an ill defined term. ‘Workforce housing’ is more accurate, but I would also like it to include elderly people living on a fixed income. They need this,” explained Rifaat. Rifaat feels that the current BOS has mostly ignored the issue of workforce housing. “It is a very complex issue and the supervisors need to put it on the table and discuss it. It is not on the agenda anywhere, and it needs to get put on the table for discussion and research.” Sludge is the next big issue that is about to be put on that table, and Rifaat has already publicly stated her views on the subject with a letter printed in the September 14 issue of The Rappahannock News. “I am asking the county government to take a stronger position against the proposed application of sewage sludge in the county,” wrote Rifaat. “We cannot rely on the Virginia Department of Health to regulate sludge, over here. At the [October 2 public hearing] I don’t want! to repeal the ban and walk out until the BOS and John McCarthy accept local regulation as an agenda item,” said Rifaat. On her race for supervisor, Rifaat for one is glad that it’s a competitive one. “It is a good thing for the county when so many citizens run for office. It gives > the people a chance to, choose. . . The desire to par-. ticipate and contribute tolocal government is impor-, tant to me,” said Rifaat. If elected, Rifaat promises to “put affordable hous-, ing on the table” and be vigilant in controlling the county budget and growth. “I would investigate other ways of creating revenue for the county,” said Rifaat. Baader From Page A1 “It’s always been something I’ve been interested in.” According to Estes-Baader, her father’s position in the county has meant that she was always well informed on county issues while he served, but was also a reason that she has stayed out of county politics until now. “With his position, it wouldn’t have ‘Tooked right if he was appointing me to serve on committees and things,” pointed out Estes-Baader. “I’ve tried to attend every meeting since my father passed.” Estes-Baader, a Director of Retail Inventory Control at Plow and Hearth, is the only candidate for Piedmont supervisor that is not retired, but says that she knows what the job requires from her father’s experiences. “I can never be my father, he was unique. But being my father’s daughter is an advantage to me,” said EstesBaader. From her campaigning around Sperryville and the Piedmont District, EstesBaader believes that the people she wants to represent are most concerned with taxes. ‘They’re concerned about their taxes and their real estate assessments,” said Estes-Baader. Estes-Baader believes that some of the tax burden on Rappahannock residents could have been “offset” by the current BOS during last spring’s budget discussions, by further lowering the tax rate or cuts. “Overall, there could have been a few changes. Within the limitations, there is always further tweaking,” said Estes-Baader.

Nowlin General Registrar 262A Gay Street Washington, VA 22747 _ (540) 675-5380 believes that the budget controversy was exacerbated by poor communication from the supervisors regarding expenditures and the proposed two cent Conservation Easement District. “There needed to be more information, the public was uninformed,” said EstesBaader. “You have to be the voice of the people and there has to be communication. If there’s a next time [for the Conservation Easement District], I hope there’s more information for the public,” she added. However, Estes-Baader’s search for a solution to the County’s tax problem doesn’t mean that she is against spending county dollars. “Affordable housing is definitely a problem here. I have a son who wants to stay in the county, and people are getting priced out. . .1 would be in favor of county spending on affordable housing,” said Estes-Baader. As a lifelong Sperryville resident, Estes-Baader remembers the past incarnations of the sludge controversy in, Rappahannock. She believes that the supervisors have been put in a difficult position by state laws. “They don’t have the power. Virginia doesn’t pass a lot of power down to local governments,” explained EstesBaader. “I am definitely in favor of the county regulating it,” she added. Estes-Baader also believes that the land application of sludge would affect the whole county, not just the land it’s applied to. “I think it’s wrong. You should be considerate of your neighbors, you’re affecting other people,” she said. Estes-Baader believes that the county is on the right track, and wants to keep it that way. “If you look at the counties around us, you can see that we’ve been protected. Rappahannock is special to me, . . I want to see Rappahannock grow but keep taxes down. That’s an ideal world,” said Estes-Baader. FREE INSPECTION Protect your home. Permanently.

Cleaning up the rivers ■Public meetings scheduled throughout . the Rappahannock River Basin By Matt Benson J Special to the Rappahannock News I/)cal river clean-up plan public meetings have been scheduled around the Rappa< bannock River Basin to discuss upcoming Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies. t Public attendance and participation is strongly encouraged Dy all residents, including cominunity leaders and county government. Input is needed to ' help shape these clean-up plans, which are scheduled for completion by April of 2007. A TMDL is simply one method to achieve water quality improvements. A TMDL study defines the amount of pollutant a water body can receive while still allowing the water body to meet state water quality standards. In other words, a TMDL is a pollution "budget." TMDLs must be created for each water body considered as “impaired” and are pollutant specific. In 1998, two organizations filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failure to comply with provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in Virginia (VA). In 1999, EPA signed a contract with the plaintiffs, which created a legally binding agreement that defines Virginia’s TMDL development schedule through 2010. The Commonwealth has agreed to abide by this contract and its provisions. Because of this, TMDLs are being written and implement ed throughout VA and are currently required for all waterways listed as “impaired”. A waterway (i.e. stream, creek, river etc.) is listed as “impaired” if it does not meet its designated uses, generally stated as being ‘fishable and swimable.” Many TMDLs are written related to excessive bacteria or excessive dirt or sediment in a water body. TMDLs include pollution from permitted point sources such as a straight pipe into the waterway, and nonpoint sources such as excess fertilizers from agricultural lands and residential areas or toxic chemicals from urban runoff and energy production. Besides point and non-point allowances, TMDLs must in elude a margin of safety, which is supposed to account for any uncertainty associated with estimating the pollution limits. Once a TMDL study has been completed, an Implementation Plan (IP) should begin. An IP is a document required by VA law detailing the type of pollution control measures needed to clean-up an impaired water body. In response to the CWA, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VA DEQ) has listed as “impaired” 16 stream segments in the Upper Rappahannock River Basin not meeting state water quality standards. Starting on October 4th, 2006 at the Mt. Nebo Church in Rochelle, VA, a series of public meetings will be held throughout the Rappahannock River Basin to discuss these upcoming TMDL studies. Engineering Concepts, Inc located in Fincastle, VA is the organization in charge of drafting the TMDL studies. Additional public meetings to follow will be at the Rappahannock County Lib Pesticide Disposal Program planned Virginia Cooperative Extension in partnership with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) invite farmers, pesticide dealers, and pest control firms to participate in the 2006 pesticide disposal program which collects unwanted, outdated, or banned pesticides and disposes of them in a safe manner. Rappahannock County was also selected to participate in a homeowner pilot project; homeowners are to bring their unwanted pesticides to the localities' regularly scheduled collection for agricultural and commercial products. The program is offered at no cost to participants. This year’s pesticide disposal program is scheduled for Friday, October 20 at the Rappahannock Farmers' Cooperative, 12645 Lee Hwy, Washington VA 22747 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants may register for the pesticide disposal program by contacting the Rappahannock Extension Office or by calling VDACS’ Office of Pesticide Services at /3718598 prior to the collection in each area. Participants should complete a registration form which may be accessed at the following web address: http:// www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pesticides/pdffiles/disposalregistra- cides/pdffiles/disposalregistration.pdfhttp://www.vdacs.vir- tion.pdfhttp://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pesticides/pdffiles/di sposalregistration.pdf.

Town , !From Page A1 expansion and other services provided by the town.” Historic consequences Following the Piedmont proposal hearing, the planning commission went into joint session with the Architectural Review Board who are nearly completing the Historic District Guidelines for the town. The joint sessions have been reviewing both the guidelines and the ordinances necessary to make the entire town into a Historic District. These joint sessions allow members to discuss the proposed guidelines with Cheryl Shepard of Millennium Preservation Services and propose refinements or changes to the documents. The area represented by the Piedmont citizens’ proposal is not currently included in the Historic District. Shepard explained to the ARB and the Town Planning Commission that if the town decided to extend its borders, the Historic District would not include the property represented in the Piedmont proposal. “It would not be part of the historic district,” she said. “We would have to conduct another survey of the Piedmont properties to see if they contribute to the historical character of the town.” The Town Planning Commission will meet twice next month. October 12 has been set as a temporary date for another joint session with the \RB to finish the town’s historic guidelines. The following meeting on October 23 will focus on the Piedmont proposal.

If you live in the Piedmont District and you’ve already made up your mind, you should come. If you live in the Piedmont District and you’re undecided, you should definitely come. If you five in Rappahannock County and you care about its future, you should come. These choices have county-wide consequences. Shouldn’t you be involved? Remember... ...to keep Bob Lander in your positive thoughts and prayers. He suffered a heart attack Monday evening just as he and Marti returned from a trip to England. He is at Fairfax Hospital. Bob is one of Rappahannock’s most stalwart community volunteers and his energy and enthusiasm have been focused on many projects. ... to keep watching for the re-opening of Rae’s Place in Sperryville and if you haven’t seen Davette Leonard’s own hollyhock garden coming into colorful focus on the outside of the building, it’s well worth a look see... ...and to come to the public hearing on Monday, October 2, starting at 7 p.m. particularly if you are sludge or anti-sludge minded. r i Photo by Richard Lykes It takes a band Saturday's car wash earned '$1,200 to help the band boosters.

Letters Repeal the 17th amendment While reading the article in your 14 Sept, edition regarding the Independent Green candidate for the U.S. Senate, it occurred to me that most Americans may not realize how the U.S. Senate lends itself to “special interest”, or why it is virtually impossible for an independent candidate to achieve office there. When the U.S. Constitution was ratified, Article I, Sec. 3 provided that all U.S. senators shall be chosen from among the various state legislatures, by the legislators, to serve at the pleasure of same for a term of six years. The reasoning behind this provision was to ensure, as far as possible, that U.S. senators would be chosen carefully by peers, according to the most diligent scrutiny of character and associations among a multi-partisan body politic. There were no expensive campaigns; and “special interest” influence was very limited, and under close observation. Then, along came the 17th Amendment. The 17th Amendment (notably ratified the same year as the 16th, i.e., “Income Tax Amendment”; and along with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913), provided for the popular election of U.S. senators; which invited the influence of special interest groups by way of the now-enormous expense of funding a senate campaign. In essence, the U.S. Senate was up for bids. Sold. People talk about “campaign finance reform” in endless and pointless debate without considering how it came to be an issue in the first place. The Founders set up our system so you could send your neighbor to the state legislatures. Then, you could go to your neighbors’ houses and ask why some dis appointing jerk was sent by them to the U.S. Senate. Hopefully, your legislators/neighbors would be very careful about who was appointed to serve. They, too, had a chance to serve if they conducted themselves with dignity and integrity. THAT is the “grass-roots politics” for which so many long for today. True senate integrity and a hamstringing of special interest could begin with a repeal of the 17th Amendment. Charles Stinnett Flint Hill Gillis gives inspiration My family would like to express our tremendous gratitude to Mr. Dave Gillis for his inspiration and encouragement to our county’s youth. Our son Tommy became Mr. Gillis’ pre-calculus math aide last spring at RCHS. After learning that Tommy’s college direction of interest was in animation, Mr. Gillis shared his idea with Tommy about how they could help explain “domain” and “range” to Algebra I students. He challenged Tommy to develop an animation that would teach this difficult mathematic model using the average Cat and Mouse and how they interact, a concept in which we can relate. When Tommy finalized the video, Mr. Gillis was so impressed with his work that he wrote a letter of recommendation to Tommy's college. He wrote, “What really defines Tom is his imagination. He is a dynamic creator and is well able to express his ideas to others. Hand in hand with his creativity is a solid work ethic. Tom will stick at something until he produces a high quality product.” Along with Mr. Gillis’s enlightening statements, Tommy submitted this animation for consideration of scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design as an entering student this fall. We were very excited to tell Mr. Gillis last week that Tommy was awarded the Artistic Honors Scholarship in the amount of $7,500 per year to attend SCAD! His motto, “Pursue Your Passion and Never Work a Day in Your Life....” Thanks, Mr. G., a teachers encouragement can go a very long way! Lisa and Tom Pendleton Hearthstone says thank you The Hearthstone School community would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to Sunnyside Farms and Mr. and Mrs. David Cole for their recent donation of computer equipment, black boards, library racks, office supplies and more. As a small, nonprofit organization, such donations assist our school and our students in so many beneficial ways. We sincerely appreciate the support of our community as we work to provide a wellrounded education that fosters academic excellence, creativity, self-confidence and integrity. The donated computer equipment will complete the set up of Hearthstone’s computer facility, which has been most eagerly anticipated by our high school students. The black boards, library racks and other materials will be put to very good use as well. We deeply appreciate Sunnyside and the Cole’s generosity in this most recent donation to our school, as well as their kindness through the years in welcoming our students to their farm to learn about organic farming, go apple picking and other activities. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Cole good fortune in all their future endeavors. ‘ The Hearthstone School Core Council (Jane Mullan, Jennifer Heverly, Monik Plonka, Penny Bridges, April Strickler and Kevin Weisgerber) Thank you for my life As I recover from my first life-threatening surgery for a perforated ulcer, I feel obligated to extend my thanks to many people. First and foremost, I owe my life to the doctors and staff of Warren County Memorial Hospital. Referred to the hospital by Dr. Jerry Martin of Rappahannock Medical Center, my case was taken by Doctors Robert Meltvedt and Barbara Walter, who operated immediately. The nurses and aides assumed responsibility for me in the ICU. Susan Laing and Louise Ellis served the Eucharist on Sunday, and the Reverend Phil Bailey and Larry Wingfield visited me. I have received dozens of cards and calls in the ICU and at home. My wife has taken over my care here in Flint Hill, and my priest, Jenks Hobson and my three sisters, all nurses in their own right, have been rocks. So I offer my sincere thanks to all my friends, personal and professional, who have done so much for me in this late summer. Sincerely, Robert E. Amos Flint Hill Up in the Hollow I’ve been following the Allen/Webb race very, very closely as a Webb supporter, and I’d like to throw in a few thoughts from what is obviously a partisan point of view. It seems to me that George Allen is coming apart from the unexpected pressure of going from being an “unbeatable” Senator and prospective Presidential candidate to a guy who is in a dead heat with a candidate who is running his first race. In that sense, Jim Webb has already won something. Webb is not only a combat veteran, but a combat hero, highly decorated for his valor as a United States Marine in the jungles of Viet Nam. He was steady under fire. To him there is no pressure in a political debate. That is just conversation. This guy brought real scars home. He does not lose his cool. Watching the Meet The Press debate was like watching a man and a boy, and George was “the boy.” And there was the difference also of style. Allen relied upon the classic spiel of “talking points” and platitudes. He is good at it. But it does not suffice under hard questioning. Webb on the other hand is a genuine thinker, an independent, and nobody’s boy. And since his thoughts are his own, they have a ring of truth, rather than Beltway baloney. So Webb won that round. If it had been a prize fight it would have been stopped in the second round on a TKO. And that “Macaca” business! I watched that video several times when the story broke. And I read a lot of the press around the incident. Rich Lowry of the estimable conservative magazine National Review commented that he didn’t think George was “racist,” but that he appeared “to have a mean streak.” Maybe*1 maybe not. I POUTICAL Analysis Ben “Cooter" Jones served with him in the House, and I always thought he was a wuss. What he does seem to have, however, is “a dumb streak.” Here he is staring at the only video camera at that rally, which is being used by his opponent’s “tracker,” Mr. Sidarth. Sidarth is hoping that the Senator will say something inconsistent, or something really stupid. So George looks right into the camera and calls Sidarth a “macaca”. Now the only two people at that rally who knew what that meant were the Senator and Sidarth. Then he insults Northern Virginia as somehow un-American. Making sure that gets videotaped, too. (As you know, I’m not making this up.) There is a word for this kind of behavior. It is “hubris”, and it is always followed by a fall. And George is taking one. It is what is called a “natural law.” It took him over a week to apologize. First there was the “Mohawk” defense. That didn’t quite fly, didn’t really get off the ground. But he stuck with that one for awhile. His new defense, launched on Meet The Press, is that he just “made it up.” Think about that for a minute. There are millions of names on this planet, even more words, and perhaps even more new sounds to just “make up.” And the one that springs forth is “macaca”, a . French slur for people of color. And George speaks fluent French. And Sidarth is a Virginian of color. That makes Bill Clinton’s did not have sex with that woman” sound like George Washington and the Cherry Tree. Hubris. It’ll gitcha every time. Now comes the Jewish business. A reporter says that it has been written in the press that George’s granddad is Jewish. What’s with that, she says. How come you never mentioned that in all these years? George flips out. His supporters boo. He says he has never heard that before. Two days later, he speaks with pride of his Jewish heritage. Which is it? He should be proud of his Jewish heritage. Great race of folks. I’m got some of that myself, a man named Jacobs from Charleston back in the nineteenth century. It fits in great with my Tuscarora blood, my Welsh blood, my Irish blood, my French Huguenot blood, and my just good ol’ redneck blood. One branch of the family was simply put down on the census for decades as “non-white.” The Feds couldn’t figure out what the hell we were, but they were certain we weren’t “white folks.” I’m more of a mix than my old dog Willie. It doesn’t matter, does it? And if it doesn’t matter, why hasn’t George ever spoken of it with pride before? Beats the hell out of me. Now, about this “Confederate” flag business. As some of you may know, I am a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I am also a life member of the NAACP. The symbols of the Confederacy have been misused by fools and bigots for over a hundred years, and nothing pisses off a thoughtful descendant of the “Lost Cause” more than a California twerp like Allen. using the Cross of St. Andrew flag as a symbol of whatever he thought it * meant. 99% percent of the display of that flag is benign, and I can’t account for the 1% of the racists and the dopes who desecrate it like George has. By the way, I put him in the “dope” category. It is a sensitive and nuanced issue, and jokers like him should keep his hands off it. And what is with this “Western Motif*?! Why is a grown man running around a Mid Atlantic Upper South State dressed like Gene Autry?? A couple of years ago I was down at the Labor Day Parade in Buena Vista, doing my “Cooter” thing and having a great time walking the route. And George was riding his horse behind me. And I swear to you, it looked to me like that time Michael Dukakis was riding around in the tank. Well, I’ve had a whack at Big George, bless his soul. And it’s been fun. But what this crowd of right wing wackos has done to the greatest country in the world is not fun. Allen has been an automatic vote for Little George, and that does not reflect the centrist views of the vast majority of Virginians. It is time to bring the boy home to his pony. The reason Jim Webb impresses me is that he is a Reagan Democrat, one of those folks who left the party in the seventies, but who is coming back to what he feels is his natural home. Yet he is still enough of a “traditional values” guy to appeal to a lot of folks who have been voting GOP. This is what frightens the Republican Party nationally. If Democrats can restore their resonance in the heartland of America from which they came, the days of Cheney and Rummy and Condi and Rove and Little George are numbered. Jim Webb is indeed George « Allen’s worst nightmare.

Cure for Cantor Independent candidate for the District 7 Congressional seat Brad Blanton walked through Rappahannock County on Thursday, September 21. The 66-year-old Page County psychotherapist plans to walk across the entire 7th district to spread the word of his candidacy. “It’s time that Virginians pulled their heads out of their a—ssaid the fiery Blanton, who was interviewed as he walked down Route 522, between Sperryville and Culpeper. Blanton is running on a platform of election reform, including full public financing of elections, and it doesn’t take much to get him going on the subject of corruption in government. “I am completely opposed to the war in Iraq. It’s a conspiracy of the military industrial complex, and the whole damn system is shot to hell,” said Blanton. On his walk to Richmond, Blanton wears a sign on his back proclaiming himself as “a cure for Cantor'’ referring to incumbent District 7 Representative Republican Eric Cantor. “Congress is just pathetic. We need an uprising, independent of corporate controlled media,” said Blanton. Besides opposing the war in Iraq, and supporting election reform, Blanton is also concerned about senior citizens. “I’m 66 years old, and I will represent senior citizens. I will get the multinational corporations off their backs,” said Blanton.

mo i hursday, September 28, 2006 Rappahannock non-profits create a base By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Three Rappahannock nonprofit organizations finally have office and conference space from which to base their operations. The Rappahannock Non-Profit Center (RNPC), the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA), and Rappahannock Friends and Lovers of Our Watershed (RappFLOW) joined together, setting up shop in Sperryville in the vacant building of the Schoolhouse property owned by Cliff Miller. The building is beneath Antique Tables Made Daily, and was formerly the home to Rae’s Place. “We wouldn’t have this amazing space without the RNPC signing the lease and putting everything together with a DSL Internet connection,” said Executive Assistant Susann Graham, as she and Sharon Pierce, the President of the group, spoke about their new office space. “This is a big step, because we now have a board room and an office that is very cost effective,” added Pierce. Conservation education The RCCA is one of the old est non-profit groups created in the county., It was formed six years ago. Pierce and Graham describe their mission to keep Rappahannock County scenic, rural, and country though the use of land conservation easements. A conservation easement is a legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust, such as the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, or a government program that permanently limits uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values.

Pierce recently presented a check to the Board of Supervisors for $17,500 as the organization’s annual contribution to the county’s farmland preservation fund. This program purchases developing rights from working family farmers. The RCCA will also be holding tax seminars in the spring and in the fall that explains the use of conservation easement tax credits. The RCCA board consists of fourteen area landowners in the county from old family farmers to lawyers and realtors. “Even though we are from different walks of life, everyone is committed to conservation,” said Pierce who loves living in Rappahannock but believes that citizens must be proactive in order to preserve the rural nature of the county. “We are not safe,” Pierce warns, “We have to earn it.” Graham works as a part time executive assistant to the board and is going to school for her masters degree. She attends classes at the University of Maiy Washington majoring in organization development and human recourses.

Kopjanski said that one of the main goals of the RNPC was to find a place where people could discover more about the County’s non-profit organizations. The RNPC’s primary mission is to help support non-profit groups within the county by assisting them with managing skills, human recourses, and financial fund raisers. “There are so many options for volunteers in this county,” Kopjanski said. She believes that the new office space will be a key step in further organizing Rappahannock Non-profits. “Now we actually have a work space for volunteers and a conference room for meetings,” she said proudly. “The best part will be the ability to spend time together in the same building throwing around ideas and brainstorming.” Return to Rappahannock Kopjanski was raised in the county, and graduated from Rappahannock County High School before leaving to attend college at the University of Virginia. After college she moved to New Jersey beginning a career with AT&T. It wasn’t long before she returned to Rappahannock County in search of her roots. “I really wanted to return to the county and raise my kids in the same place that I grew up,” Kopjanski said. She is the mother of four children who currently attend Rappahannock Public Schools. Since she returned to Rappahannock she has been involved in other non-profit organizations over the years before becoming the new executive director of the RNPC. “I like to say that I spent the first half of my career working in the profit sector and the second half of my career working Rappahannock News for the non-profit sector,” sht said with a smile. The board consists of Martin Woodard, Linda Dietel, Mar> Ann Biggs, Alexia Morrison Dorthy Warner, Mike Mahoney and Sally Cunningham. The RNPC will be holding a grant writing workshop for members of Non-profit organizations on October 19-20. (See related notice). The RNPC will alsc host winter lunches each month from November-February. Office hours are held during the week; Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Kopjanski is also available by appointment. The office phone number is: (540) 987-8011, Email: info@mpc.org. Watershed information center Bev Hunter is one of the original founding members of RappFLOW and a seasoned volunteer for the organization. She was veiy pleased with the space that she obtained in the new office building for the Rappahannock non-profit centers. “We now have a place where people can come and use our library of information and sample data,” she said cheerfully as she prepared binders for an upcoming meeting. Hunter was particularly proud that the office was in Sperryville next to the Thornton River, one of the main rivers in Rappahannock County. Hunter was raised in Rappahannock County next to the Rappahannock River in the Jackson District of Rappahannock County. Her team of RappFLOW volunteers work part time gathering data and educating citizens in order to protect Rappahannock’s watershed. “We will now have a place where volunteers can stop by and use the office computer, with a broadband Internet connection and be able to run programs,” Hunter said. The RappFLOW comer of the conference center contains numerous watershed maps, pictures, pamphlets, presentations and research material. RappFLOW is primarily a research and educational organization rather than a policy directed advocacy group. Tbgether the volunteers learn how to conduct tests of the water and improve the condition of stream buffers. RappFLOW’s program is highlighted on their website at www.rappflow.org.

iJMaJL rDAe Photos by Ann Spiker CROSS COUNTRY GIRLS: Freshman Savanna Booth (left) and sophomore Hannah Rosenbaum on the right press on during a match. Lady Panthers boast a dozen straight wins By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Lady Panther Volleyball team finished up on Tuesday beating the George Mason Mustangs for the second time in two weeks by 3-0. “I would definitely say that Mason was the best team that we have played this year,” said Head Volleyball Varsity Coach Jared Nieters. Mason’s strength lies in their strong hitting ability. Nieters said that he had spent practice time before the game focusing on passing the ball, recovering from hard hits. On the September 14 game against George Mason High School, the team won 30, although the opening match scores were very close. The Panthers squeaked by the Mustangs in the first match with a score of 26-21. “It was the best George Mason team that I have ever seen in the five years that I have coached,” said Nieters at the time. The team did well adapting to the challenge during the first George Mason game which further prepared them for last Tuesday’s showdown. The team was able to make adjustments on defense and expose holes in the offense. “We were surprised to see such a strong team this year but the girls have a lot of confidence, said Nieters proudly. “We went from a hard hitting offense, to a targeted offense.” The two subsequent match scores were 23-18 and 25-20. Last Thursday, the Lady Panthers had a wakeup call as they lost the first match of the season against Page County. This was the first time that the Panthers have lost a match all season. “I don’t think at any point the girls were concerned that we weren’t going to win,” said Nieters, “But we definitely realized that we couldn’t slack.” In spite of the rough start, the girls were able to win that game 3-1. During the previous week the team also won against the Stonewall Jackson Generals making it a second victory against that team. The match scores for that game were 25-21, 25-22 and 25-16. “Our communication fell a little bit, and we didn’t have the same intensity, although we executed well,” said Nieters. Nieters noted that the Lady Panthers served better in this match as opposed to the last time that they faced the Generals. He also noted that Emily Carter, an offensive player played very consistently in last weeks games. Carters serving record stands as the best in the team. The Panthers have eight more games scheduled prior to the Bull Run District Tournament. “We’ve had an excellent year so far,” said Nieters, “We’re just trying to be careful not to peak when the important part of the season hits.” The team will travel this Thursday to face Madison County High School. “This season has been great,” Nieters said, “All of the girls are great athletes, they have great chemistry, they are all friends, and they work together really well as a team.” Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers. com Kapp on the run By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High Schools’ boys and girls cross country teams have been working on their pace the past few weeks. Judging from their performance against four other Group A Bull Run teams Wednesday afternoon at Blue Rock, they are the right pace to be a huge factor in the late October district meet. Rappahannock’s boys outscored George Mason, Strasburg, Manassas Park and Madison. Senior Josh Makela led the Panthers with a secondplace finish. Fellow senior Alex Ramey and junior Jake Rosenbaum also ran well. On the girls’ side, Savanna Booth led a strong Rappahannock’s, fourth-place finish. “We’re on pace to do something,” Rappahannock head coach Dave Gillis said. “A lot of our kids did their personal-best times,” added assistant coach Pamela Chovnick. To continue preparing for the district meet, which also will be held at Blue Rock, the Panthers work daily on adjusting their pace so that they remain fresh for the finish. A cross country course is 3.1 miles. They also hope to cut their CROSS COUNTRY BOYS: Senior Josh Makela led the pack and finished second. “negative split times,” so that their miles are faster than their firsts. “You must see a finish to understand how exciting a race can be,” Gillis said.

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. School News from Around the County Wakefield Country Day School Two middle school students excel in Latin Latin teacher John McMahon recently announced the results of the 2005/2006 Exploratory Latin Exam. Two middle school students received national recognition for thenscores: John Morgan Christoph received a Magna Cum Laude award (score of 92%) and Will Mullany received a Cum Laude award (score of 80%). Focus on the Constitution This year, the 10th grade U.S. Government class has been studying the Constitution of the United States and, in recognition of Constitution Week, several students addressed the weekly assembly on that subject. Jesse Marsh gave a summary of the history of the U.S. Constitution, sharing’interesting information with the audience: the U.S. Constitution, which has been around for 219 years, is the oldest and shortest of all written national constitutions; that while it is an imperfect document, of the 11,000 amendments that have been proposed over the years, only 27 have been adopted; that the oldest signer of our constitution was 81 - Ben Franklin, and the youngest was 26; after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Constitution was moved to Fort Knox for safekeeping, and that our constitution was signed in Philadelphia. Then Rachael Carrier and Katie vonFange presented the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, with Ms. Carrier reciting the text and Ms. vonFange “signing” the words.

Preserving community www.culpeperhospital .com On Saturday, September 16, the Rappahannock County High School Panthers played their first game on the new football field. During pre-game and half time shows, the enthusiastic crowd was entertained by the Rappahannock County High School Marching Band, as they strutted out wearing their new band uniforms, accompanied by the color guard bearing flags of red, gold, and black. The band members were dressed in blue and white uniforms and crowned with gold helmets, each plumed with an impressively large blue feather. As the band made their debut onto the field, led by drum mayor Noel Johns and stepping in time to a simple snare beat played by drum captain Jonathan Hale, they captured the eyes of the audience and an excited murmur arose. “Don’t Chris Harris Rappahannock graduate receives football scholarship By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Chris Harris, son of Paul and Melissa Harris of Sperryville and a 2006 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, recently received a 4year, $17,000/year scholarship to play football at St. Paul’s College in Lawrenceville, Virginia. “We are very proud of Chris’ achievement,” said his mother Melissa. Paul and Melissa adopted Chris bringing him to the United States at the age of seven from Jamaica when his parents were unable to take responsibility for him. Chris entered third-grade with very little previous education. He was unable to speak English well and was enrolled in special education classes. By the eighth grade he got out of special education and went into high school determined to succeed. Once he became a junior he pursued an advanced diploma, graduating in 2006 with the rest of his classmates. “He is a great kid,” added Melissa, “even now, he is like 63. He grew way beyond Jamaica standards.” Harris was a star athlete on the RCHS football team and also competed on the Cross Country team. In spite of the fact that the Panthers were unable to win a game last season, Coach Keiser, from the Rappahannock Panthers team realized that Harris was an excellent athlete. He contacted Coach Bryant at Saint Paul’s providing him with football film of Harris’ performance. “Chris is very coachable and very smart,” said football coach Bryant of the Tigers. “He works very hard and is very determined.” Bryant said that Harris has a lot of work ethic which is probably due to his background. “He’s a diamond in the rough,” Bryant added. Harris is currently studying for an engineering job, with a math major and a computer science minor. He is a freshman at St. Paul’s College, playing wide receiver for the Saint Paul Tigers. He is 6-3 and weighs 200 lbs. Saint Paul’s College (SPC) is a historically black college, founded in 1888. It is a fouryear, private, liberal arts institute affiliated with the Episcopal Church. Saint Paul’s College provides a personalized education and an environment that fosters individual strengths and responds to individual needs. Its liberal arts, professional, and pre-professional programs prepare students for careers and graduate programs in humanities, social sciences, education, business, mathematics, and natural sciences. Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers.com they look wonderful!” exclaimed more than one onlooker in attendance. Kathryn Treanor, President of the Rappahannock County Band Boosters, smiled proudly as she expressed her gratitude to all those who contributed to the purchase of the new uniforms. “The Band Boosters are grateful for the huge outpouring * of donations from this community. Thanks to their generosity, we surpassed our goal of $16,000, bringing in over $20,000! This enabled us to purchase 65 uniforms.” The excess funds were especially helpful as the band membership grew over the summer, from 38 participants last year to 56 this year. “We have 24 eighth graders who have joined the band,” explained Yonkey. During the half time show, the band performed songs from the Rolling Stones, including “Brown Sugar”, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, and “Satisfaction,” much to the delight of the audience. During the game, they worked in conjunction with the cheerleaders to pep up the fans and support the team, playing a variety of song snatches. They will perform again at the remaining home game on Saturday, October 21st. They will also travel with the team to two away games on October 27th and November 10th. Another opportunity to see the band in their new uniforms will be at the Christmas Parade in Little Washington on December 3rd. *25,990 2006 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO Autostick, 15,991 Miles, Midnight Blue Pearl, Medium Slate Gray, 3.7 liter 6 Cyl., SUV 4x4.

Her ceramic cats have always been highly popular in the numerous galleries throughout the country where they have been shown. Their devious preoccupations are inspired by the real-life cats she keeps at home where she and Judy Goodkind are next-door neighbors. Working with found images, Judy builds witty, hiphlv sources. Seamlessly integrating cut-outs and paint, she creates what one critic has described as "logical presentations of illogical reality.” Although she lives most of the time in Alexandria, Judy and her husband’s family share an old farm house in Madison County where they spend many happy hours there. The cows who graze the pastures around the house have found their way into many of her works. This show is a collaboration of ideas from both artists and promises to be a lot of fun — something that is often in short supply at art exhibits in today’s world.

Kellertt • Special to the Rappahannock News • Why would 600 to 800 people per year sign Op to be one of a chosen few to get up before dawn on a Saturday and drive out to the countryside to do volunteer work? It’s called the volunteer harvester program at Gray Ghost Vineyards in Amissville and Tbm Sawyer has nothing on them. Harvest actually begins at Gray Ghost ^Vineyards the evening prior when A1 Kellert places yellow plastic bins called lugs beneath She rows of plump clusters of grapes. > pounds of grapes. £. At 3 a.m. the following morning, A1 and Cheryl, co-owners and wine makers, put on the •offee and begin breakfast preparation. ; The eager harvesters begin arriving at 6 a.m. to partake of the lavish breakfast buffet of pastries, bagels, croissants, donuts, orange juice, assorted fresh fruit, candy bars, coffee 'and tea. • When the volunteers’ eyes are finally open mid stomachs satiated, A1 gives instructions on how to pick the grapes in order to get them off the vine quickly while the grapes are still cool. Amy Payette, Director of Marketing and A1 and Cheiyl’s daughter, issues them picking shears and cotton gloves. Then the pickers are assigned two per row. A1 encourages them to change partners if the one they rode with to the vineyard is too “cranky” that early in the morning. '* The actual harvesting begins at sunrise which is usually about 7 a.m. this time of year. Z Usually the first block of fruit is picked in an hour or so. After a brief 15-minute coffee break the rest rthe fruit for that day is harvested.

By then, Cheryl has grilled the cheeseburgers and hot dogs. To round out the lunch there is pasta salad, chips, fruit and chocolate chip cookies. The Gray Ghost line of wines is poured to accompany the lunch. The grapes are then processed and harvesters may help with the processing, watch the processing or just relax in the Victorian Garden. All of this is usually accomplished by noon. At Gray Ghost, usually about 600 to 800 people do sign up to harvest each year beginning in February. Harvest season usually commences the end of August or early September and can go into mid-October with actual harvesting done on the weekends. Three to four of these harvests are done with the volunteers. Usually about 50 to 75 people help at each of these harvests. They come from as far away as Pennsylvania and California to be one of the chosen few. For more information please contact the winery at 540-937-4869 or www.grayghostvineyards.com. Above, While it may seem daunting, most of the harvesting is accomplished by noon with the help of many volunteers who were issued clippers and gloves for the task ahead. Garcia’s ‘The Lost City* probes Castro’s Cuba By P. Breckenridge Special to the Rappahannock News Set in Havana, Cuba in the late 1950s, a wealthy family, one of whose sons is a prominent nightclub owner, is caught in the violent transition from the oppressive regime of Batista to the Marxist government of Fidel Castro. Castro’s regime ultimately leads the nightclub owner to flee to New York. RAAC brings “The Lost City” to the Theatre on Gay Street in Washington, Virginia, Friday, October 6, at 8:00 p.m. As the story unfolds, attendance at the family dinner table dwindles, and the film’s central characters wander off into disparate (and inevitably unhappy) subplots. It is a tale of family affection and betrayal, brothers estranged, lovers separated, and frequent acts of violence from unexpected players. Andy Garcia uses music to paint an epic and passionate portrait of Cuba before and during the rise of Castro. Garcia stars as nightclub owner Fico Fellove, whose El Tropico showcases the latest singers and costumed dancers. Much of the movie takes place in Fico’s El Tropico where the viewer has the pleasure of enjoying some rather excellent Cuban song and mambo music reminiscent of scenes from the real Tropicana club that existed in Cuba. The story is told with an admirable sense of respect and affection for Cuba and its people, culture and music. Waldemar Kalinowski’s production design takes full advantage of the color, texture, and natural elements of the Caribbean including the crisp, clear light, the palm trees, the brilliant azure ocean with its breathtaking beaches, and the alternately romantic, violent nature of the moon. The filmmakers also showcase the architectural styles that were prevalent in 1950s Havana, from Spanish * Colonial and Neo-Classical, to Streamline Deco and Modeme. The rich botanical splendor in the city interiors and exteriors is also abundantly evident as are the open majestic countryside, tobacco farms, cane fields and sierras. Costume designer Deborah Scott brings the music, dance, and people to vibrant life through the characters’ elegant, colorful, and sophisticated attire. Bill Murray turns in a memorable, hilarious supporting performance as a washed-up comic forever planted on Garcia’s couch, mooching drinks and offering witty asides, and Dustin Hoffman makes a menacing Meyer Lansky, who wishes to establish a casino in Cuba. Che Guevara (Jsu Garcia) makes a brief appearance, but as a scruffy bully instead ol the heroic, selfless figure portrayed in “The Motorcycle Dianes.” Tht film is rat^d “R” for violence. Rur time is 143 minutes.

1/1 wwpiwl I lUol CU, cwu Classical piano recital Oct. 7 Katarzyna Marzec and Michael Tsalka are distinguished pianists who received their early music training in Poland and in Israel. They will give a recital of classical piano music at the Theatre at Washington, Virginia, on Saturday, October 7 at 8 p.m. Music by Schubert, Chopin, Scarlatti, Mozart, Brahms, Poulenc and others make up the program. Some of the works were written as piano solos, and each of the pianists plays some solos. But the composers also wrote works for “piano four hands.” This music by these famous composers is rarely performed but it has become part of the Marzec-Tsalka Duo repertoire.

A Piece of the Rock "These green hills and silver water Are my home, they belong to me, And to all her sons and daughters, May they be strong and forever free...” fmm These Green Mountains, the Vermont State Song, by Diane Martin Very likely you missed the news. An easy oversight; you may be and are forgiven. The event was wedged somewhere between the next Paris Hilton sighting, reports of cheap gas locations, a local sludge-fest, and admonitions that the great struggle for civilization is upon us; tough to keep anything in perspective any more, isn’t it? But the essence of the story is this, in case you missed it: A twenty-ton block of granite recently landed in the midst of a vast wooded area in Spotsylvania County. Sounds Idee one of those things that periodically happen in Siberia or some other God-forsaken place, not here in our geographic backyard. The local ordinances preclude such things, don’t they? Well, kind of.. .but had this rock originated in extraterrestrial territory, its impact, both figuratively and literally, would have been world altering. And despite any wishes to the contrary, no supervisor, administrator, or even Tom, Dick, or Harry could have taken any preventive action. Pesky dinosaurs or neighbor’s dogs trampling your garden?- No problem, they’ve all vanished. Treated effluent from the sewage plants of Northern Virginia headed our way? Poof, taken care of in an instant. Foreign affairs or political debates got you down? Not to worry! No headlines would have recorded the event and no conversations at the Quicke Mart or the Co-Op would have pondered its implications; even the Internet hlogs would be silent. For you see, (or actually, you would not be able to see), we would all be gone as well. But relax, pinch yourself, and check the hid mug in the mirror. All is well. The sun rises; the moon sets, the birds sing, and the tax (and other) bills will arrive on time. The giant rock had a soft landing in those woods some 35 miles east of ole Rapp’ County. The rocks to which we are locally accustomed originated in a time when dinosaurs were, indeed, a local nuisance. Over the geological eras, erosion has diminished, shaped, and molded the stone. A few of the more mighty edifices, such as Old Rag, Stony Man, and Mary’s Rock are now iconic landmarks, monuments to both the Earth itself and to the many, many people who have walked these mountains before us. Wander about these parts long enough and one will also find myriad immense boulders as well as smaller rocks, the latter shaped by the hands of men, protruding from the floors of the valleys and woodlands, commemorations on one hand to the forces of nature and, on the other, to the human lives that touched this land. If we notice any of these rocky monuments it is likely to be with but curious, passing abandon. But each, in its own silent, unique, and perpetual fashion, records some event, often personal, but sometimes cata Histories & Mysteries Judy and John Tole evrgreenl@earthlink.net clysmic and quite literally earth shattering, in the long march of time. Green Mountain granite The granite mass that appeared almost overnight in the Wilderness of Spotsylvania records one such event, one that shook the earth of its day just as certainly as the volcanoes that once spewed forth the lava that became the wonderfully curious green stone of the Blue Ridge. Several hundred yards away cars repeatedly halt for an instant at the four-way stop sign at intersection of the Brock and Orange Plank Roads, about a mile south and east of that testament to modem life, the Sheetz station on Route 3 about halfway between Culpeper and Fredericksburg. For the most part, occupants of those vehicles are now, and forever will be, oblivious to the great, transplanted stone sitting nearby. Too bad! The lives of each of them and of all of us were influenced by events at this confluence of roads and in the forest that surrounds this enormous rock. Future wanderers who take the time to park at the crossroads and follow a dirt path through what are now third or fourth growth woods will encounter a magnificent rendition of Camel’s Hump, a predominant feature of Vermont’s Green Mountains. The miniature ‘Hump’ crowns the top of the 40,000 pounds of granite carved from those same moun Farm-To-Table sponsors open house By Trista Scheuerlein Special to the Rappahannock News What’s green, abundant, full of kids, and supported by our wonderful community? The F arm-to-Table Program, of course! Students in the Farm-toTable Program (F2T) have been growing food, creating school gardens, and learning through field trips to local farms since January 2004. Now the F2T program, a HeadwatersRappahannock County Public Schools partnership supported by the Young Farmland Fund, the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau, and the Cole Family Foundation, is attracting local, national, and global attention. Mitzie Young of the Young Farmland Fund, Headwaters Executive Director Cole Johnson, and Program Coordinator Trista Scheuerlein will host an F2T Open House this Saturday, September 30, from 2 until 4 p.m. at Rappahannock County High School. All community members are welcome to come and see first-hand the gardens built and maintained by the students. “We hope to build awareness for the program,” explained Johnson. “We are looking for additional support for the program, not only financially, but for all the learning opportunities that our local farmers have to offer.” Preventing pests without pesticides Lynn Graves of Graves Mountain Farm hosted a field trip to his farm and processing facility earlier this summer. During the field trip, Graves held up a white piece of cardboard on a wire. “Does anybody know what this is?” he asked. One student was able to identify the object as a pheromone trap that confuses the apple codling moth and prevents it from finding a mate. Known as Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, this kind of tool helps to reduce the amount of pesticides that farmers use. Students in the F2T Program learn about such cost-efficient and sciencebased agriculture that keeps farming costs down while reducing the amount of pesticides in our environment. “One person can only know so much,” explained Scheuerlein. “We tap into Rappahannock County’s ‘agricultural knowledge base.’ There are people here who come from generations of farmers, and they are models of how to farm 'successfully year after year. After all, farming is not sustainable unless you can feed the farmer, take care of farmworkers, and leave your farm and your environment in better shape than you found them.” Students in the program get a taste of agriculture as a science, a career option, and a source of healthy eating. The program operates through the high school Horticulture class in x>iyunction with other classes, including Culinary Arts, Building Trades, Industrial Education, Geospatial Ibchnologies, Business, and Art. Student-grown food supplements the school salad bars and is donated to the Rappahannock County Senior Nutrition Center. Culinary Arts classes prepare ‘Seasonal and Local Food” tastings that introduce all students to healthy, seasonal food aptions. Business classes create point-of-sale materials to support the annual Horticulture plant sale, where students sell their wares first-hand. Industrial Technology students maintain the tools and equipment. The Growing Connection At the elementary school, agriculture studies have a global emphasis. This fall The Growing Connection will be piloted, an after-school program that connects students growing food in “Earthboxes” with children in other countries who use the same portable growing boxes. Co-sponsored by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and The American Horticultural Society, the program allows young people worldwide to communicate about issues of world hunger and sustainable agriculture. “Tve been working, picking up trash and planting plants around my house. I love planting,” said Ashley Crawford, one of 43 students engaged in hands-on agriculture at Rappahannock County Elementary School this fall. International connections F2Ts community partnerships and interdisciplinary aspects were among the attractions when delegates from Sri Lanka, Nepal, India and Pakistan visited Rappahannock County’s public schools on September 14. Visitors from India and Nepal crowded around a bed of tricolor pole beans, curious how the school garden could produce beans organically in light of the presence of bean beetles on the plants. “It’s a matter of timing,” replied Scheuerlein, who has Rappahannock County Great time to buy while interest rates are still low.

Rather it svas some of those of the present generation who, while recognizing their “poor power to add or detract”, sought to honor the 1,234 members of the Vermont Brigade who became casualties at this intersection in order “that (this) nation might live”. Heavy stuff! Easy to dismiss as sentimental hype amidst the cynicism of a time when honors are copiously afforded for actions whose merit may be dubious at best. But these Green Mountain boys, the import of their deeds, and the appropriateness of perpetuating their memory are the genuine article. The facts in brief, are these: Flag Draped Vermont Monument The date: May 5th 1864. The time: about 12 Noon. The event: U.S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac were in danger of being cut in two by A.P. Hill’s Corps of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, pushing relentlessly eastward, seemingly unstoppable along the Plank Road; in Hill’s path, 3,000 men from Vermont. Not the first time the Union Army was in such a fix, but it was however, together with a repeat encounter with Confederate General James Longstreet the following day, pretty much the last. The significance: Lee had forced any worked in the field of sustain able agriculture for nine years and coordinated the F21 Program at RCPS since 2004 “If the beans are already mature, then a minor infesta tion will not hurt the crop. If the infestation had happened earli er, we would have had to choos< a method of removal that woul< not harm our students or oui environment,” she explained The visit was arranged by staf of the U.S. Department o: State’s Bureau of Educationa and Cultural Affairs, wh( learned about F2T anc Rappahannock’s other commu nity-connected education programs through an article in the April, 2006, issue of “Rura Policy Matters.” Come see!

For the war-weary north, a repulse of Grant might well have been the straw that broke the Union’s back, permanently splitting the country in two. The future of the nation was at both metaphorical and actual crossroads as the New Englanders stood their ground... and held! Though it took almost another year, Grant was on to Richmond. What had seemed probable with Pickett’s repulse at Gettysburg was now assured by Vermont on the Brock Road. For the Army of Northern Virginia, in Benet’s words, “each dusty road led (inexorably) to Appomattox now!” But that assurance came at unthinkable cost. Historian Howard Coffin reports that there is no record of any Vermont veterans ever returning to this spot in the Wilderness; “it was just too terrible, too grim, too awful to relive.” No wonder, as Coffin recalls Bruce Catton’s description of the scene: “The fighting ... was simply brutal, amid the constricting trees and saplings, brush and brambles, vines and thorns, a dim and green hell filled with smoke and thunderous noise ... The bullets struck everywhere, smashing faces, disemboweling, shattering arms and legs, ripping through chests, blowing away brains and hearts, bursting through lungs, destroying hands, feet, private parts.” The mind’s eye looks away at even the thought of such a caldron. But despite the difficulty in reflection it is well to note that this was not some i Middle Eastern desert or Asian ' jungle and the participants were not Toreigners’, though in r fact nearly all were descen dants of ‘immigrants’, that great political bogeyman of today. The boys in the death struggle that day were from Vermont and Virginia and all the other places now united across this “the last, best hope of mankind. VT Sen. Jeffords Unveiling Monument None of those boys wanted to die in that forest. Like all of us, thoughts of home dominated their visions of and hopes for life. The Virginian’s may well have longed for the misty profile of the Blue Ridge or “to see that rolling river” in the valley to its west. Coffin reports that Vermont soldiers’ letters home are filled with references to a landmark in the Green Mountains of their home state: “I want to see Camel’s Hump again.” “Oh to be sugaring up by old Camel’s Hump.” Surely they had no intent of resting for eternity in the woods of Central Virginia, where some of them almost certainly still remain, unwilling, but most worthy ‘immigrants’ to the Old Dominion. Since they and/or their spirits cannot leave the battlefield, it seems most fitting that a huge chunk of the mountain they so longed for has been brought to them. As the magnificent blue Vermont flag dropped from the graven stone and the bugler played taps, one was reminded that wherever our origins and regardless of the strings that tug at our individual hearts, there are common, vital threads that link us all. We overlook and take so many things for granted. But, if you have occasion to travel the Brock Road, pause an extra moment at that stop sign in the forest to contemplate how the nearby piece of rock from Vermont’s Green Mountains, and what it stands for, transcend all the petty differences that sometimes divide us.

Butch Zindel, Broker, GRIABR butch@rapprealestate.com Brokerage since 1990 Buyer Representation since 1988 ■ Trish Bartholomew tbarU@earthlink.net www.RappahannockRealEstateResources.com G3 Designing upholstered furniture Are you ready to talk about custom designed 'upholstered furniture? Last time I wrote about the traits of a well made piece of upholstered furniture. I related the virtues of kiln dried hardwood, double doweled, glued and screwed frames for sofas and chairs. I talked of eight-way hand tied coils and cushions that had the right “feel”. This article will deal with aspects of actually choosing the design of the furniture, and the pros and cons of different types of upholstery fabrics available. If you go to a furniture store or a department store, it will most likely be that you will be able to try out a few sofa models on the floor. You will be allowed to wander the store and find a frame you like and then possibly leaf through the fabrics from which you would choose to have it upholstered. Depending on the store, there may even be several “grades” of fabrics that lois wercimer determine the actual price of the sofa. However, you are left to judge what will best fit in your room and how the sofa will look when it’s done. This works well for some people, but it takes some experience and the ability to envision the final product to make the right decision. Sometimes there is an in-store employee to help you, but, of course, a sale of their store product is the ultimate goal. These sofas (or other upholstered pieces) will be made to order and are considered “semi-custom” because you can choose the fabric and the frame. Regardless, they are usually made in assembly line fashion and will be delivered to you (at a price) from the store in a few weeks. When you work through an 'independent interior designer, not with a store, you receive a truly “custom” sofa or chair. One of the advantages of going this route is that you have an experienced “ally” with you during your search. Your choices are virtually endless. A good designer can help you narrow the various choices down very efficiently. I begin by showing my clients sketches and/or photos of sofas or chairs from custom furniture manufacturers I trust, and I observe how they respond. After a few images, I can tell that they are starting to show a pattern, whether they like a comfy, overstuffed look, something sleek and contemporary, or are drawn to the very traditional. . Together, we analyze an existing sofa they like (or don’t like) and determine what seat depth and back height works for them and others'in their family. Custom sofas can be made in various lengths. Details like whether the cushions on the back will be loose or attached, and whether they like one, two or three seat cushions will be decided upon. Will the cushions be boxed ! or not? Will there be tufts and buttons on the back, channels, or simply straight lines? We also select the arm style,! of which there are many, and we design the look of the base of the sofa; whether it will !be skirted or have feet or be ms|de with a completely upholstered base. If feet or. legs are preferred we choose a finish (stained, painted, or metal) that will work well with the other furniture in the room.; If a skirt is chosen, will the fabric chosen perform well as a skirt, and should the skirt be 6 inches, 9 inches or more? We review the proportions of the room, the scale of other furniture that will co-exist in the room, and create this new piece in a way that enhances already existing pieces. This all sounds very overwhelming, but you can be guided through this process very easily by an interior designer. The additional advantage is that you will be working in the comfort and convenience of your own home, where visualizing each element becomes more relevant. AAninrr ♦ Via fnkviA 4-Vi n i will suit the room and the lifestyle of the people living in the home is the next step. There will be many options available to meet the criterion of the room. Color and pattern are important design elements, but durability and wear are equally addressed. If a client tells me, or I see evidence that they wear out their furniture very quickly, we find a fabric that will be forgiving to stains and wear. There are very durable fabrics available that will lend themselves to all kinds of use. Many of the fabrics I show in the upholstery line have a “Wyzenbeek” number. Wyzenbeek is an industry test of how many rubs a fabric will endure before there are signs of pilling or color change or actual thinning of the fabric. Certain types of chenille fabrics and other soft textures are popular now and are very durable and available in lots of looks. Scotchguard or Teflon finishes are sometimes available for stain resistance. I would not recommend a solid colored fabric for a sofa used by children and pets unless there was a great deal of texture in it to absorb any mishaps. For dressier, less used rooms, the types of fabrics you can choose from include cotton chintzes, damasks and wonderful silks! Blends of synthetics and natural fibers often give the look of a dressy finish without the fragility. Good upholstered furniture will be “flow-matched”, that is the pattern will be matched perfectly from the back to the seat cushions, and then to the deck and the base of the sofa or chair. Creativity in choice of fabrics can be quite fun. Recent clients of mine asked for something unusual when deciding on four upholstered dining chairs for their eclectic, art filled dining room. The colors black and taupe seemed to be calling to them, but they were having trouble deciding on which fabric to choose. Spontaneously, the husband asked if we could use two fabrics; two chairs would be in one fabric, and two in the other. Then his wife asked if it would be okay to upholster each one in a different fabric. We worked through the process together and ended up with a herringbone, a swirled print, a geometric print and a textured tweed, all in contemporary, coordinated black and taupe colors. It will be outstanding! And unique! Delivery will take place next week and we can’t wait! So, it’s time to replace the old sofa or chair! Hopefully you have gleaned some information from this article that is helpful! Next time we will go over the options of reupholstering or slip covering, but until then, please call or email with any design concerns you might have.

COZY CORNER: An antique cupboard graces the comer of a /downstairs bedroom. Seaway House spreads its wings . By Helen Williams Special to the Rappahannock News “Seaway House” is the name of another of the three houses slated for this year’s House Tour in October. This uniquely designed home, named Southern Living’s 2003 House of the Year, is a “new take on a farmhouse.” Sitting on 20 acres, it was purchased about 15 years ago by owners RuSs and Polly Scoville. But their relationship with Rappahannock goes back much further, almost 30 years, when Russ served on the Board of the Virginia Association of Biologic Farmers (VABF) with Lyt Wood, Diana Bird and Richard Abell. When the Scovilles were ready to retire, they had a 'Community and a property that was already well known .to them. The architects were Reader and Swartz, a husband and wife team from Winchester. The Scovilles chose , Blue Ridge Timberwrights (BRT), from Christiansburg, whose house and designs they admired, to work with them on the house of their dreams. The plans included using 130year-old Douglas fir timbers the BRT had salvaged as the structure of the home. The result is a two-story, three level home whose interior spaces are dominated by the beautiful wooden beams, once afloat in the St. Lawrence Seaway as floating “cribbage” designed to keep logs from the shipping channels, and now providing both the structure and the soaring beauty of the interiors. fyluch of the actual construction work was done by L.G. Zindel, Inc of Amissville. Complementing the design and construction work are the family treasures and artifacts from both families: Russ’s from Ogden Utah, and Polly’s from Burlington, New Jersey; added to that are the mementos of two careers that began in the Peace Corps in Africa, and ended in a busy life in the If you go The 50th annual Dried Flower Sale and House Tour, sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of Trinity Church in Washington, is set for October 21 and 22. The Tour Headquarters and Flower Sale are at the Parish Hall in the Town of Washington. Tickets for all the Tour Houses are available there, as well as at each individual house. No tickets are sold before the day of the Tour. Cost is $20 to see all three houses, and includes tea. Tickets for an individual house are set at $10.00. Tea is available both days, served from 2-5 p.m. at Middleton Inn, an historic nineteenth century home in the Town of Washington. FINISHING TOUCHES: Beautifully grained and ready to stay organized, these two pieces are ones that Russ brought with him from Ogden, Utah. One of the drawers on the piece above still bears his grandfather's label - “Correspondence, 1912.” Washington D.C. Area. Handmade Windsor chairs, drop leaf mahogany tables, a mission oak sideboard and rocker, a wide glass fronted corner cabinet, and platters and china from the 18-19th centuries mix with an old prayer run from Iran, Ethiopian stools, a collection of Coptic crosses, and a yard tall Ethiopian olive wood pestle. There is a large tray, dated 1790, a wedding present to one of Polly’s ancestors. And Russ uses one of his grandfather’s unique homemade desk/filing cabinets that still has a drawer marked “Correspondence, 1912.” Set at the end of a long, hilly, curving driveway, Seaway House seems to perch like a bird on the summit of a gentle hill. Its three distinct wings and different roof angles are like the outstretched wings of a big seagull, and the view out over the trees to the top of Fogg Mountain would please an eagle. Russ has counted 110 dogwood trees abloom in the spring, visible through most of the generous windows. So both the exterior and interior of the Scovilles’ home is marked by beauty and nature, using the best of the past and the present to provide a perfect setting to experience and enjoy the future.
