No. 40 Phone (540)675-3338 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2006 Worldwide at timescommunity.com 50 cents Alter a pacKea courtnouse neanng on Monday evening, Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said on Wednesday morning that Recyc Systems had phoned him. “Recyc was called by Mr. Manwaring and then they immediately called me. The application has been withdrawn,” Said McCarthy who added, “certainly the time constraint has been removed and it doesn’t mean that another applicant might not pursue later but now the pressure is off.” Susan Trumbo of Recyc Systems confirmed on Wednesday that Jim Manwaring had withdrawn their site - Red Oak Ranch Associates, LLC, - from consideration for land application of sewage sludge. She declined, however, to say why Mr. Manwaring made this decision. “You’d have to ask him,” she said. James Manwaring was not reached for comment. He was the County’s sole applicant. At Monday’s public hearing, Manwaring, who had sat quietly while nearly 30 speakers urged the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors to either retain the county’s ban on sludge or put in tighter restrictions, was one of the last to speak. “I’ve been listening and I’m very concerned about our property,” said Manwaring who told the audience that he had visited a Mend’s farm in Madison County, seen sludge firsthand and was comfortably surprised that it didn’t contain condoms. “It was damp material and full of lyme,” said Manwaring who added that it appeared to come from residential properties rather than indus trial and he wasn’t overly alarmed. However, Manwaring reiterated that while he was considering application of sewage sludge he also shared the concerns of many of his neighbors and residents of Rappahannock County about its consequences. “I’d like everything to be done properly and I’d certainly encourage the local government to put tight monitoring in place,” added Manwaring. “I’m in no hurry to do this.” Legal constraints With the Virginia State Department of Health in the business of issuing permits for sludge application, Rappahannock County would be hard pressed to do otherwise even though sludge has been banned for land application since 1994. It is not banned from incineration or being hauled off to a landfill. Commonwealth’s attorney Peter Luke gave Monday’s audience a quick overview of the county’s history regarding sludge but emphasized, “The Virginia Supreme Court said the county cannot forbid what the State allows, or allow what the State forbids,” adding, “we may have won a battle in the past, but we lost the war.” One of Manwaring’s closest neighbors, Harold Creel, was the first to speak on Monday. “Heavy metals don’t break down,” said the Stonewall District 66 The application has been withdrawn. John McCarthy Rappahannock County Administrator resident. “Recyc didn’t address that.” Urging that the supervisors come up with heavy restrictions, Creel was open with his praise for Manwaring. “They don’t eat babies, they are honorable stewards of their land.” Another Stonewall District resident, Emeiy Lazar, stated his concerns that the Environmental Protection Agency wasn’t doing enough and there were inherent weaknesses in their rulings regarding not only human health but the welfare of wildlife. “No way to ban, well, being sued is not the end of the world,” said Lazar who reminded the audience about the original formation of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection established in 1970. “Remember, it was originally a legal defense fund.” Later in the evening, RLEP’s current president Paul Farmer read from a prepared statement. “The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection believes that keeping sewage sludge out of Rappahannock County is in the best health, safety, environmental, and financial interests of every county citizen. We oppose repeal of the County ban on the land application of sewage sludge at this time. We believe that removing the current sludge ban, without substituting strict regulation of sludge use, sends the wrong message to See SLUDGE, Page A2 County and Town Meetings and Notices • All Rappahannock County government offices will be dosed on Monday, October 9, in observance of Columbus Day and will reopen on Tuesday, October 10.

The momentum is building. Now is the time to stand up and be counted,” he urged Webb supporters. Ending his “pep talk” with a quote from Thomas Jefferson, Johnston prompted Webb’s supporters to remember, “One man with courage makes a majority.” Other speakers preceding Webb tried to delineate the differences between their candidate and the incumbent. Said Brian Moran of Alexandria, a Virginia state delegate, “There are striking differences on national security and the war in Iraq as Photo by Richard Lykes LIKE MINDED: US. Senate candidate Jim Webb stands' with Sperryviile resident and World War II veteran James Swindler. well as major differences on domestic issues, like running huge budget deficits to fund an unpopular war that has gone sour.” The rally, which attracted representatives from eight neighboring Blue Ridge counties, is another of Webb’s efforts to reach out to rural and moderate Virginia voters.

Conservationist buys Sunnyside Farm By Charlie Spiering Rappahanock News Staff Writer „ Sunnyside Farms, a local 400-acre organic farm, has been sold to the Lapham family for $7,500,000.00. The family is known throughout the county for its dedication to conservation. Anthony Lapham, a resident of Rappahannock County bought the farm together with his wife Burks. The two also received assistance from their son, Nicholas and his wife, Gardiner, and from another son, David Lapham, who lives and works in New York Conservation enthusiasts Nicholas Lapham works for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF.) The WWF leads international efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats. “I have been coming to Rappahannock County since I was a little boy,” said Nicholas Lapham. “I always thought of it as a wonderful place, I guess you could say that it’s actually where my interest in conservation began,” he said with a grin. Nicholas’ father, Anthony Lapham, is a member of the advisoiy board of the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation (KFRCC). A coalition of local organizations created the Krebser Fund to protect selected properties in Rappahannock County through the acquisition of properties and conservation easements. Nicholas will remain working in Washington, D.C., where he lives with his wife Gardiner sand his two sons ages 1 and 3. Nicholas and Gardiner plan to remain in Washington D.C., sending their children to school there. “We still want to spend as much time as we can exploring the property,” said the thrilled new landowner, “It’s a treasured piece of land in the county.” The Laphams worked with realtor Alan Zuschlag, of Armfield, Miller & Ripley, Fine Properties, LLC, who is also a member of the advisory board of the Krebser Fund. “I am personally delighted as a farmer that it will stay as an organic farm,” said Zuschlag, “The family has a long history of stewardship in and out of the county... it will be excellent for the local farm and the community at large.” Historic treasure Established in 1720, Sunnyside Farm is among America’s oldest farms. Nick Lapham describes his family as private people who want to maintain Sunnyside as an organic farm. “We have no intention of dividing it or developing it,” he promised. “We want to maintain the rural ethic of Rappahannock County with its agricultural background and its scenic beauty.” The previous owner, David Cole, put the farm up for sale in Arthur W Arurmi, 13T7^PtkCwi»» Rtf . 3— agi.

Cole had used Sunnyside Farms as the heart of numerous organic projects. Sunnyside Market in Washington, Virginia, sold many organic products raised on Sunnyside Farms. “Sunnyside at the Schoolhouse” in Sperryville, Virginia housed the “Flying Pig” pub and “The Burger Bam,” a grill that sold hamburgers done with Sunnyside’s organic beef. “Sunnyside at the Schoolhouse” was closed in June following the listing of Sunnyside Farms on the real estate market Cole had begun to lose interest in his Rappahannock County holdings after he moved to Maui, Hawaii and invested in the Maui Land and Pineapple CO. and became its CEO. Cole also helped found the Sunnyside Institute, a non-profit educational arm of Sunnyside Farms. The Institute is primarily concerned with education in sustainable organic farming. The Institute continues its work, and is among the founding supporters of the Rappahannock County High School Farm-Tb-Table Program. The Lapham family plans to lease the farm to the Sunnyside Institute for farming and education opportunities for the next year as they make future plans for the property. “We really feel very fortunate to own such amazing historic property,” Nicholas Lapham said. “We look to the community to learn all that we can about it.” Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers.com Sludge From Page A1 County landowners who might otherwise be unsure of the advisability of accepting sewage sludge on their properties,” said Farmer. One speaker got the attention of the audience as she had traveled from Christianburg. “I work for a non-profit agency and we can help you,” said Shireen Parsons. “You have not lost the war.” “The wind blows and the rain flows, just how much will you big corporations poison you,” said Parsons whose remarks brought a round of applause from the audience. In remarks made after the meeting, Parsons shared other concerns. “To my mind, the good thing that happened is that the Board of Supervisors tabled the matter of the ordinance rather than rescinding it. The unfortunate thing is that they didn’t pound the table and declare unequivocally that they’re determined to stand firm and develop a Mello wins Nobel prize By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Not the principal but his brother. Residents of Rappahannock County were surprised Monday as they discovered that Craig C. Mello, one of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, is the older brother of Rappahannock High School Principal Roger Mello. “Itll be good for him,” the younger Mello said with a chuckle. “He’s been down since I whipped him three straight games of Scrabble last summer.” Craig Mello and his colleague, Andrew Z. Fire, were awarded the prize for chscovering a method of turning off selected genes, an important research tool that scientists hope will lead to new treatments for HIV/AIDS, cancer and other illnesses. The process discovered by Fire and Mello is called RNA interference, or RNAi. It occurs in plant and animal life, including humans. RNAi is important in regulating gene activity and in fighting off viruses. RNAi has become a standard research tool since the two scientists published their work in 1998. Principal Mello is happy for his big brother. “Our whole family is very proud of his achievement,” he said. “We’re all talking about going to Stockholm for the ceremony.” The award ceremony will be held on December 10th in Stockholm, Sweden. Fire is from the Stanford University School of Medicine in California, while Mello is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts. Each Nobel award is worth 10 million kroner (US $1.4 million), plus a diploma, gold medal and a lavish ceremony. The two scientists will split the prize money. Craig Mello is four years older than Principal Mello, which leaves the school official with many memories of their boyhood. One story that he likes to tell people is when he shot his older brother with a rubber tipped arrow from a toy longbow that he got for his birthday. “Craig disappeared into the basement for a few days and came out with a working crossbow,” said Roger with a chuckle. Principal Mello is the youngest in the family while Craig is the second oldest boy. They also have one older brother, Frank, and their oldest sibling is their sister, Jeanne. Their father was once the the director of Smithsonian National History Museum. Principal Mello remembers his family’s dinner conversations revolving around science. “We would sit at the Craig C. Meiio table long after the food was gone and discuss science,” he said, “It was a wonderful family habit.” Principal Mello noted that his brother was always very tenacious in his pursuit in looking for answers, while other people would give up. “It doesn’t matter if it is genetics, Monopoly, or Scrabble,” he said with a chuckle. “He doesn’t like stopping something until he has mastered it.” Principal Mello lauded his brother as an excellent researcher. “He has the true humility of a real scholar," he said, “The more he learns the more about genetics the more he realizes that there are questions left to answer in that field.” Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers. com new,, effective ordinance to ban corporations from engaging in the land application of sludge. Despite everything that was said, they think ‘regulation’ will make it all okay,” said Parsons in an email to the Rappahannock News. What now? With Manwaring withdrawing his application for the land application of sludge, the county players have been given some time but it is the plan of county officials to move ahead. In a conversation with Board chairman Bob Anderson at the end of Monday’s meeting, Anderson, who said that he has known Manwaring for years, said, “Jim isn’t going to move forward on this until we have an ordinance in place that everyone is comfortable with.” “Fertilizers are expensive,” said Hampton District supervisor S.Bryant Lee as he was leaving Monday’s hearing. “I couldn’t afford to do it this year. I think the key thing is monitoring and if land application is allowed, “The Gold Standard in Equestrian Construction” Tolkfree: 1-888-GOLD-CUP (1-88&46S3287) mzmn ^Excellent qua*? \ ~ Marshall, Virginia^atanafforiMepace,) Fencing, Barns, Sheds -Va.

We could use some one who does it for surrounding counties.” At the end of Monday’s hearing, it was decided that McCarthy would put together a committee to look hard at the current regulations and bring that information to November’s meeting. “I’m confident that another applicant will eventually apply and so it is the plan of the board to proceed with a review,” said McCarthy.

Webb, Ben Jones pointed out, won the Navy Cross, a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, said two Purple Hearts for his service in Vietnam. He also was Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan Webb, accusing Senator George Allen of being a “rubber stamp” for the administration, laid out the political differences which separate him from the incumbent. Three areas stand out, he said: (1) support for the president’s war policy in Iraq and Afghanistan that even the Pentagon and CIA now recog Child Find Early Intervention Developmental Screenings Available to Children ages 2-5 If you suspect your child has difficulties in one or more of the following areas: Speech/Language, Thinking Skills, Body Coordination, Self Help, Vision/Hearing, Social/Emotional Behaviors, please call Patty Hottinger at Rappahannock County Elementary School 540.987.8259.

What’s a TMDL? There’s a public meeting Wednesday, October 11, where you can learn more By Kenner Love Special to the Rappahannock News A TMDL, or total maximum daily load, is the total amount of pollutant that a stream, lake, pond or other body of water can absorb and still meet applicable water quality standards. The MDL is part of a regulation describing specific water quality requirements. A TMDL is developed from a study that identifies the sources of pollution in a watershed, the contribution unclean materials from each source, and the reduction of fouled waters required to meet water quality standards. All sources of pollution are measured, including both point and nonpoint sources of pollution. What happens after the TMDL is developed? Developing a TMDL and the associated report are only the first steps in a process designed to restore water quality. The TMDL report tells how much reduction is necessary from each source, such as pastures, cropland, urban land, that will be needed to reach water quality standards. TMDL report, however, does not describe how those reductions will be achieved. This next step is to develop a TMDL implementation plan for restoring water quality. In 1997, the Virginia legislature passed the Water Quality Monitoring, Information, and Restoration Act (WQMIRA), which requires the state to develop plans to bring water quality up to standards. A TMDL implementation plan is essentially a watershed management plan or road map that describes and lists corrective actions to be taken in a watershed and the time period and resources needed to restore water quality. Corrective actions can include: stream restoration, riparian buffers, livestock fencing, more rigorous enforcement of erosion and sediment control regulations, public education and outreach programs, and many other practices and policies. How can stakeholders participate? Public involvement is a vital part of the TMDL implementation process. Every citizen and interested party in the watershed is encouraged to become involved in developing the TMDL IP. Public involvement ensures that the IP will be sensitive to local stakeholder concerns and will be integrated with other ongoing water quality improvement efforts. When developing an IP, public participation can occur at several levels: attending public informational meetings, or serving on the TMDL IP steering committee. The TMDL IP steering committee typically functions much like a board of directors, and includes representatives from each focus group. The success of the TMDL implementation effort rests with the watershed stakeholders. Stakeholder participation, in the form of implementing the corrective actions laid out in the TMDL IP, is what will ultimately restore water quality. What’s happening with TMDL implementation in Virginia? TMDL implementation efforts are currently occurring throughout Virginia in both rural and urban watersheds, with more TMDL implementation plans being completed all the time. Examples of TMDL implementation efforts in rural watersheds include the north River watershed located in Rockingham County (northwest Virginia), the Middle Fork holston River watershed located in Washington County (Southwest Virginia), and the Blackwater River watershed located in Franklin County (Southwest Virginia). All include stream segments contaminated by fecal coliform bacteria. TMDL implementation began in these impaired watersheds in 2001, and water quality is improving. Data from these watersheds shows a decreasing trend in fecal coliform concentrations, oversight and management for TMDL implementation in these watersheds is provided by local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). Land use in these watersheds is predominantly agriculture and forest, and livestock-exclusion stream fencing has been the primary corrective action implemented. other corrective actions include encouraging septic tank maintenance, eliminating straight pipes, repairing and replacing failing septic systems, planting cover crops, implementing nutrient management, installing vegetative cover on critical areas, establishing forested riparian buffers, reforesting, and constructing animal waste management facilities. The purpose of a TMDL Implementation Plan is to provide a road map or strategy for improving water quality. For water quality to improve, best management practices and other corrective actions must be implemented in a systematic approach. Implementing a* wellthought-out TMDL Implementation Plan - one that incorporates the ideas, wisdom, and vision of local stakeholders - can result in improved water quality. A public meeting is scheduled October 11, at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library.

Roop sighted the two bikers three-quarters of a mile ahead of him, but soon lost sight of them. After remaining in the area he spotted them parked next to the road. As he turned around to apprehend the fleeing motorcyclists, citizens in the area motioned towards state road 604. Roop followed them, catching up with them in a 15-35 mph zone traveling at speeds of 85 mph. The motorcyclists attempted to reduce speed in order to make a sharp turn, but instead lost control of their motorcycles striking the dirt bank near the road. Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue teams responded sending one rider to a hospital in Culpeper and another rider was flown to Fairfax County hospital for treatment. Injuries to the bikers were reportedly not life threatening. Charges are pending the subjects release from the hospital. The State Police is still investigating the identi ty of the third rider.

It was a time for good food, good music and good ol’ fashioned politicking at its finest. While not surrounded by a barbecue, Lt. Governor Bill Bolling stopped by on Tuesday to meet with local officials at Town Hall. Several of the supervisors were there and queried him about a number of muddy subjects including one that had just dealt with the night before - the county’s current ban on sludge. Mayor Leggett was there and chatted candidly with Bolling about the town’s upcoming wastewater treatment plant. At Sunday’s event and again on Tuesday, our elected county and town officials and other residents not directly involved with the county’s politics took the opportunity to share their thoughts about local issues. Rappahannock County has a citizenry that gets and stays involved. At Monday evening’s public hearing, the benches at the county courthouse were once again filled while others leaned against the walls or stood in the stairwell. No apathy in this county when it comes to certain issues and the potential application of sludge brought them in. It takes courage and conviction to be in the minority and for Susan Trumbo who spoke about the compahy she works for - Recyc Systems - and Jim Manwaring, the farmer who would like to spread it on his fields, they faced dozens who clearly had their noses in the air. And then there are the solution solvers - Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors, County Administrator John McCarthy and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. Their task is to face the populace head on and come up with answers that will address the community’s concerns and at the same time keep them within state mandated guidelines. It’s no easy job. For the moment, it’s been made easier as Recyc Systems phoned John McCarthy with the news that the application had been withdrawn. A late breaking development and one that will ease the pressure on them for now. The important thing to keep in mind is that everyone who cares - and they all do - were part of a process that proves once again that the folks here in Rappahannock County are committed to making a difference.

Letters Land transfer explained Further examination of two topics covered by your September 28th issue may shed light on a matter of recent discussion in Rappahannock County. First, your “land transfer” item reported that Katherine Evans has granted to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) tax map parcel 50-36, amounting to 325 acres. In fact, Mrs. Evans deeded to VOF a land conservation easement covering five tax map parcels which total 325 acres (50-36, 50-40, 50-40A, 50-41, and 50650. The easement effectively merges these five parcels into one parcel (now listed as 5036), which may never in the future become more than three parcels. Thus, Mrs. Evans extinguished two “development rights.” Her easement also prohibits any houses or other structures above the 700-foot contour, thereby protecting the top of Bessie Bell Mountain. I have no idea what Mrs. Evans plans to do next — but in extinguishing at least two develop ment rights and restricting mountaintop development, she most likely gave up some land value. This value could be morphed into tax credits which could be sold — perhaps in the neighborhood of $200,000. (Saleable tax credits offer landowners an attractive way to cash in some of their real estate assets without selling any land.) The problem is that not all rural landowners can generate tax credits because there is no one to accept their offers of easement gifts. Except in special cases, VOF will not accept an easement on less than 50 acres because each new easement becomes work load for a staff already stretched thin. And Rappahannock County has expressed reluctance to see properties under 50 acres given easement protection because “they can’t be divided anyway” under County zoning — and might also cause some drain on County tax revenues. But, see where that leaves a hypothetical couple — owners of two adjacent tax parcels totaling, say, 48 acres on a County river (and thus having intrinsic ecological value) and used for some sort of “exotic agriculture” — such as emuranching or specialty vegetables. Even if this operation is already taxed at “land use” values, and even if willing to give up a development right by merging the two tax parcels, this couple may be unable to find anyone willing to accept their gift of an easement. Which leads us to a second September 28 topic: the differences of opinion expressed by the three supervisor-candidates for the Piedmont District about the once-proposed Conservation Easement District, and its related twocent addition to the tax rate. This proposal drew vehement opposition from voters who felt it taxed the less-well-off to purchase easements from the more-well-off, and that — as in the case of my hypothetical couple above — it favored owners of larger parcels over owners of smaller parcels. It seems to me that the answer is to fix the basic problem here, rather than fight among ourselves because it exists. The State may help. A week ago, my wife Barb and I went to Monticello to participate in celebrating the 40th anniversary of Virginia’s historic preservation and land conservation easement programs. Governor Kaine gave a rousing, upbeat speech in which he again announced a goal of protecting an additional 400,000 acres of Virginia’s landscape during his four-year term. That’s a larger acreage than protected by easements during the last 40 years, and will, Kaine suggested, mean additional staff and new attention to owners of smaller parcels. Similarly, Rappahannock County could amend its Conservation District proposal to include smaller parcels — and, rather than rely on easement-purchase alone, assist owners of multiple parcels to convert them into saleable tax credits. Bob Dennis Flint Hill Candidate forum ahead In the special election for the Piedmont District seat on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors that will be held November 7, the people of the Piedmont District are fortunate to have three qualified candidates running. This gives the voters a real choice, and an opportunity to compare the views of the three candidates and choose the one they believe will serve the county best. Piedmont voters and all residents of Rappahannock County will have a chance to hear and compare the three contenders at a candidate forum to be held on Tuesday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium. The forum is sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and I will have the honor of being moderator for the event. The forum will explore key issues and challenges that face the county’s governing board. There are only five members of the Board of Supervisors, and one vote can often make all the difference in the decisions of that body. Thus this election is impor tant not only to the residents of Piedmont District, but to all the people of this county. I want to encourage Rappahannock citizens not only to come to the forum, but also to think about the issues they want to hear discussed. What questions do you have that you’d like to hear the candidates answer? You may submit a question in advance by sending it to me by mail or e-mail. Send questions to blackwaterpub@adelphia.net or to me at PO Box 595, Flint Hill, VA 22627. If you are concerned about county taxes or spending, land use and development, our public schools, emergency services, environmental issues or other concerns, here is your chance to ask for the candidates’ views on that issue. Questions from the public will enrich the forum. Then come and hear what candidates Eddie Wayland, Monira Rifaat and Kim Estes Baader have to say. We are lucky to have the freedom and opportunity to participate in democracy this way. James P. Gannon Flint Hill Overzealous referees I would like to congratulate the Rappahannock U14 soccer team for an overwhelming win over Culpeper on Saturday 30 September. I lost track of the score after it hit 24-0, but the Rappahannock team played very well, and deserved the win. That said, parents on both sides of the ball were dismayed over the performance of the referees during the game. A Culpeper player was red-carded early in the game for what appeared to be a self defense hand-ball near the goal (she appeared to be blocking the ball from hitting her face). The referee called it an intentional handball to stop the goal. They threw her out of the game, gave Rappahannock the goal, and then proceeded to make Culpeper play the remaining first half one player down. Even Rappahannock parents disagreed with this ruling, as it was quite extreme. When both coaches conferred with the elder referee, he was very defensive. None of the kids on the field Knew what was going on, and it was never explained to them until halftime when the coaches had a free minute to discuss it with their team. Having been involved in the recreational soccer leagues for over 10 years, I respect the refs and what they do. I realize it is a thankless job, but we have to remember that this is a “recreational” league, and it is being played for fun. We should be teaching the players by example and experience - throwing somebody out, granting a point for the blocked goal, and making a team play one-man-down for a half was very extreme for a “fun” league. Again, Rappahannock would have won anyway - they were up 4-0 before the controversial call. It is a shame that this great win by a very good team was overshadowed by two overzealous referees. Rodney Ritz Culpeper Ben says ‘thanks’ Alma and I would like to thank all the folks who attended the Blue Ridge Rally for Jim Webb this past Sunday. We counted close to 500 guests, and we raised over $40,000 for a great candidate. I would also like to thank our neighbors out in the hollow for their patience with the noise and traffic. I quipped during the festivities that this Political Analysis Ben “Cooter” Jones was the most traffic we have had on Harris Hollow since the recent Great Manhunt. And I think I owe some apologies. I have friends all the way over on Fodderstack who said they could hear the music. Can you imagine being a big Allen supporter trying to catch a nap in the backyard on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and being bombarded by a bunch of zealous Democrats? I can, uh, feel your pain. I truly am sorry if anyone was disturbed. It is a pretty good band though, isn’t it? I owe /all one, but I hope you can wait until after November 7th. We’re gonna be very busy right up through Election Day! Peace, Ben Jones Washington Language complaint This letter is in response to the article written by Ben “Cooter” Jones concerning his dismay with Senator George Allen. I personally do not support Mr. Allen; however, in reading the article and the wording that was used at the bottom of the 3rd column, I am quite surprised with the language being used by Mr. Jones. It is more than disgusting to me, and, I am sure, to most of the Rappahannock News readers. We all know those words, but when they come to find their way into the local newspaper, then I begin to question the quality and standards of our editor-in-charge as well as Mr. Jones. I have a very difficult time understanding why someone is willing to stoop this low to smear a person of the opposite political belief, when, in fact, using language such as this reflects not on the person being written about, but upon the writer! Therefore, I suggest that both of you, Mr. Jones and the editor of the Rappahannock News, apologize to the citizens of this county and refrain from using and publishing this “gutter” language in our newspaper. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion on this matter. Emiel K. Smet Amissville Wayland is my choice I would like to take this opportunity to tell you who I feel should be the next Supervisor of the Piedmont District. Eddie Wayland is my choice. Eddie was bom and raised in Sperryville and graduated from Rappahannock County High School. He is now retired from the computer business which he owned with his two brothers. He lives on Poortown Road with his wife Cindy, a retired Rappahannock County High School teacher. Eddie loves Rappahannock, would work hard to protect and preserve it, and doesn’t plan to move away. Since he is retired, he has the time to devote to the demands of this position and to studying the issues that come before the Board. He is knowledgeable and has a good business head. He would be fair and honest on all issues, he would listen to the pros and cons and not make rash decisions. He works well with others and is easy to talk to. Eddie would strive to do the right thing for the right reasons. These are only a few of the reasons why I feel strongly that Eddie would serve our district well, and why I support him for our next supervisor. Please consider him when you go to the polls November 7th. Strother T. Brown Sperryville Even the puppies say “thanks” Waggin’ Hearts Therapy Dogs would like to thank everyone who helped to make our 2nd Annual Horse & Dog Lovers Yard Sale a big success!

Infant braves chemo BY HALEY HUIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Codi Painter, an infant from Flint Hill, Va., cries — her parents don’t know if she’s merely unhappy or in pain as a result of her chemotherapy treatments. The blue-eyed baby has an Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid (ATRT) brain tumor, and is currently traveling to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md. for treatments. Locally, she is a patient at Piedmont Pediatrics. The rare, high-grade tumor is typically found in children younger than 2 years old, and the survival rate is less than 10 percent for someone Codi’s age. Her mother, Jessica Painter, had her brother, Jody Painter, die from lymphoma at 20 years old in 1995. Now she is facing the disease on another front. Codi, an 8-month-old, has been undergoing treatments since she was 4 months old, according to her mother. “You’ve got to be strong to get her through this,” Painter said. She admitted that she’s Atypical Teratoid/ Rhabdoid Brain Tumor (ATRT) • Condition: The aggressive, rare tumors are most often found in children younger than 2 years old. They frequently spread through the central nervous system, and are found in the cerebellum - a part of the brain that controls balance. The tumors occur in approximately 1-2 percent of children with brain tumors. • Treatment: Surgical removal is often the first step, and may be followed by chemotherapy. Radiation therapy depends on the age and condition of the patient. • Survival Rate: The survival rate for children younger than 3 years old is less than 10 percent. Older children have a higher chance - nearing a 70 percent chance of survival. • Source: St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital Web site www.stjude.org 66 Codi’s usually happy, but she gets sad after chemo. Madalyn Painter Codi’s older sister scared - but is hopeful about her daughter’s chances. The tumor is located in a portion of the baby’s brain that affects the brain stem muscles — which control the left side of her face. In photographs, her bright smile looks a bit lop-sided. Painter said she has had to drastically cut back on her schedule at work, mainly working on weekends, but her employer, Double “O” Good Alpacas in New ( Baltimore, stiH extends ' health insurance to the family- lyPainter also has Codi’s older sister, Madalyn, to help take care of the baby. The 9year-old is in the fourth grade at Rappahannock County Elementary School. According to her parents, Madalyn is the only one who can make Codi laugh when she is fussy after a trip to the doctor. “Codi’s usually happy, but she gets sad after chemo,” Madalyn said. Greg Wiles, Codi’s father, said the survival rate and information they’ve gotten from the doctors scare him to death. “I’m thankful we found it when we did,” he said. The couple lives with Painter’s parents in a log home that Wiles helped build. He pointed to Codi’s endurance as remarkable, and said that in spite of the chemotherapy she was able to gain two pounds - and the size of her tumor has shrunk. The ordeal seems surreal when he thinks about everything his family has been through. “In the blink of an eye, your life can just be totally turned around,” Wiles said. He described his daughter as a “fighter,” and said most nurses describe her as the happiest baby in the hospital. Painter said she will travel approximately four hours round trip with Codi each day to the NIH for treatments for six weeks. To help the family cover medical and travel-related expenses they opened an account at the BB&T branch in Flint Hill - called Codi’s Fund. She said a family friend has created a Web site dedicated to Codi at www.codisfund.com E-mail the reporter: hhuie@timespapers.com Times-Democrat Staff Photos/Yayoi Ayukawa BABY GIRL: Eight-month-old Codi Painter suffers from a rare, high-grade brain tumor.

The appearance of the marshmallow dragon By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Massachusetts artist David Costello, an illustrator and author of children’s books, recently shared his talents with the students of Wakefield Country Day School and Rappahannock County Elementary School. He spoke to the school students who take Wakefield’s Studio Art class about the “language of picture-making.” The young artists learned about illustrations, and the symbolism expressed in lines, such as how horizontal lines convey stability. Costello also touched upon the challenges of creating comics, explaining sequential art and the relationship between individual drawings. As an added treat, Costello visited with the first grade classes in the library and read Here They Come, a Halloween book he both wrote and illustrated. Accompanied by his easel, ukulele, and a rather-shy hobgoblin puppet, Costello thrilled his young audience. Squealing with delight, the students gave input and direction to the artist who, before their eyes, created a special two-headed, marshmallow dragon monster. Costello patiently answered question upon question that tumbled forth from his curious and energetic fans. He also has a new publication in the works - a three words-per-page book designed to help little ones learn to read entitled, I Can Help. Also in print is his Sangpan the Dragon King, which was published in Indonesia. Asked how he spends most of his time, Costello described his “day job” as one in which he paints scenery for theatre, motion pictures and television. He has worked on sets for the movies “Mystic River,” “Spider-Man,” and “Angels in America,” Broadway plays such as “Hello Dolly!” and television shows including “Conviction” and “6 Degrees.” Bom in upstate New York, Costello began drawing as soon as he “could hold a crayon,” drawing constantly and filling reams of paper. His specialty was creating characters, one of whom “lived on the upper-right-hand comer of (his) eighth grade assignments, and whose adventures were of continuing interest to the entire class.” Costello, under the auspices of Rappahannock Alliance for Arts in the Community (RAAC), also visited Rappahannock Elementary School throughout the week. “David entertained all students extremely well and left our Rappahannock students with a wonderful memory of their first author visit,” said Rappahannock Elementary School Librarian, Barbara Wheatley. “We really enjoyed having David here.” During his stay in Rappahannock, he was the guest of Kevin Adams and Jay Brown, coowners of the newly renovated Gay Street Inn. Kevin Adams is also a friend of Ms. Zylonis, and he will be visiting WCDS the week of November 6th to share his talents on landscape painting.

J Katrina survivor travels here to offer thanks By Jim Gannon Special to the Rappahannock News A Mississippi Catholic priest whose parish was devastated by Hurricane Katrina last year is coming to Rappahannock County this week to meet and thank the people of St. Peter’s Catholic parish here for their aid in rebuilding his church. The Rev. Truong Trinh, pastor of St. Ann’s Church in Clermont Harbor, MS, will spend the weekend here to express his gratitude to St. Peter’s parish, which adopted Father Trinh’s church as a “sister parish” about a month after the hurricane hit on August 29, 2005. In the past year, the people of St. Peter’s have sent substantial financial aid, plus several work teams of parishioners, to help restore the storm-wrecked St. Ann’s church, rectory and grounds. The area around Father Trinh’s church was flattened by Katrina’s winds and a tidal wave of about 25 feet high that reached three miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. Clermont Harbor is in the vicinity of Waveland, MS, generally identified as the epicenter of the worst hurricane to hit the United States in decades. Thousands of homes in the area were washed away or blown apart in the storm, leaving most of Father Trinh’s parishioners homeless refugees. With the help from St. Peter’s and other volunteers, St. Ann’s church has been restored, as was the parish rectory. A school building used for religious classes is in the process of being reconstructed. Several teams of St. Peter’s parishioners traveled the 2,000-mile round trip to Father Trinh’s parish to clear debris and work on reconstruction at the church. This weekend, the visiting Mississippi priest will con celebrate the Masses at St. Peter’s Church with the Rev. Robert DeMartino, pastor. He will be the honored guest at a Sunday social gathering in the St. Peter’s parish hall after the 10 a.m. Mass on Sunday. On Tuesday, Oct. 10, a farewell dinner for Father Trinh will be held at the Public House in Flint Hill, at 7 p.m. For information, call Jim or Joan Gannon at (540) 675- i 3657.

The winning entry, powered by C02, traveled nearly 30 meters. It was designed by Shane Parker and Kate Kevis. Rated “Most Efficient” was Ho-Sung Woo and Se-Youn Lims’s extremely lightweight car, which was powered by rubber bands wound up inside its axle, with compact discs for wheels. The “Safest” car honor was given to Jody Green and Ben LeBeau, whose sturdy little car of wood was also powered by rubber bands. Capturing the title of “Best Looking” was the entry created by Saawan Mehta and Dan Carrier, which was powered by string and mousetraps, and had a patriotic theme. Finally^ Amir Arsalan and Patrick Dale walked away with “Best Design” for their entry, which had an extremely fight frame and wheels and was powered by a mousetrap/fish line combination set-up. Students will reference their projects throughout the year as they study the many elements of the discipline of physics. Chappell’s Corner RCPS Crisis Management Two years ago we re-wrote the RCPS Crisis Management Plan. School administrators, Sheriff’s Office personnel, and County Emergency staff drafted procedures to follow in various types of emergencies. These procedures have been put in flip chart form and principals have provided training for staff on how to use them. Due to recent increases in violence at schools in rural areas, Supt. Bob Chappell is reconvening this same group this week to update the Crisis Management Plan. We take seriously our obligation to provide a safe environment for our children and employees. RCES and RCHS both Fully Accredited! According to the Virginia Department of Education’s website both schools are Fully Accredited for 2006-2007. This is the fourth consecutive year both schools have earned that distinction. Congratulations to employees, students, parents and volunteers who worked to make this possible. Sixty-three of 134 Virginia school divisions had all schools fully accredited. 7th grade Yard Sale, Car wash, Bake Sale and Cook-out At RCHS Saturday: Support the 7th grade class trip to Williamsburg.

The girl’s varsity volleyball team won 3-0 in last Thursday’s game against the Madison Mountaineers. The match scores were 25-22, 2518, and 25-21. Although the first match was close, the team was able to group together for a quick victory. “At first, we didn’t come out to the court fired up and ready for the game, said Varsity Volleyball Coach Jared Nieters. During Tuesday’s game against the Clarke County Eagles, the girls were on top of their game, as they won once again at 3-0 with respectable match scores of 25-11, 25-18, and 25-19. Elena Kritter remains the leader on kills. “She’s on track to have the highest season total of my coaching career,” Nieters said proudly. Elvira Yanez is nearing a personal record as she is on pace to have more assists than last season. Nieters also pointed out that Emily Carter continues to perform well. “She has been really, really consistent,” said Nieters. “She has only missed three serves in something like 250 serves.” Nieters wants to remain focused on winning as the girls round out the district games against Strasburg and Manassas Park next week. “They are busy kids and Vi i Photo by Ann Spieker GET SET: Sophomore Emily Carter sends one back to the opposing team. sometimes it’s tough to stay champion minded,” said Nieters about his team. “If they don’t, though, there will be some other crew of six girls who is.” Email the reporter at cspiering@timespapers. com | Ask ths > Arborist ^L^OHwSadMxvM The End off Summer Brings New Concerns ffor Your Landscape Inspect trees and shrubs now to prevent damage this fall and winter. Some of the most damaging landscape pests become active as temperatures cool in the fal. For example, all hemlocks should be inspected for adelgids. The hemlock woolly adelgid has been dormant all summer, but wi soon resume feeding. Inspect all conifers for spider mites. The spruce spider mite is most damaging in the fall and spring. An application of horticultural spray oil in the fall will reduce both mites and adelgids.

A small bridge leads over a stream, and from afar, the home dominates the view. An original brick center hall Georgian home, with additions on each side, Jessamine Hill speaks of another life, when friends came to visit on by carriage or on horseback, when the ballroom rang with the Virginia Reel, and when the formal dining room was filled with the scents of roast venison and wild turkey. It’s hard to believe that the current owner, John Anderson, a native of Rappahannock, had thoughts of bulldozing the whole edifice when he bought the property several years ago, but luckily for all of us, he persevered through the restoration of the home, and is still passionate about filling it with furniture, paintings and artifacts true to the period when Andrew Jackson was president.

John Anderson’s front yard is no longer decorated with piles of sand, and plaster dust no longer coats every surface. Instead, he proudly brings home 18th century English silver candlesticks to complete the dining table decorations, and finds time in his busy life to share his home with countless friends. Open for all to see Mr. Anderson opens the mansion to many charitable institutions in the county, such as the Historical Society, Headwaters’ Next Step Program, and Trinity Episcopal Church’s 50th Annual House Tour. The original building was begun by Thomas Fletcher in the 1830s; the addition on the right was originally a ballroom, now a spa- > cious family room, the addition on the left is now the library and formal sitting room. The center hall has the traditional sweeping central staircase. There are seven fireplaces in the home, with simple Greek revival mantelpieces. There are two dining rooms, the formal one, whose fireplace wall is dignified by a portrait of Fletcher, and a more informal one, for family meals. The formal dining room is traditionally furnished with sideboards, servers, silverware chests, and of course, a large table ready for guests. The family dining room has a smaller table, an oak sideboard, and an antique oil-oncanvas hunting scene over the mantel. The old brass chandelier over the table was found in the basement during renovation.

October 5, 2006 www.timescommunity.com s4ntcdt& 1Rafflui6<z*ufoc6: 0?ocu& <**t 0?Ci*t£ 0t¥iC6 Story and Photos By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News : This article features the work and experiences of four of Flint Hill’s best known artiste who are exhibiting in the 2006 RAAC “Artiste of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Tbur.” They are Benita Gowen, Nol Putnam, Cory Caulfield, and Sandra Forbush—each well known for their distinctive work in several different mediums and styles. 8'chUS* facet* ‘ZOattnctlonM ! Benita Gowen, a prolific and talented watercolorist, is once again a featured artist in the 2006 “Artists of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Tour." Interviewed in her home, Gowen’s euphoric personality is vividly reflected in the many water colors that line the walls of her studio and separate gallery. This remarkable peace and contentment, as she will proudly tell you, comes from the joy of living and working in Rappahannock County. Gowen’s greatest inspiration comes from nature, as she mostly paints landscapes and flowers. She watches the seasons and times of day as they affect her surroundings arid paints in every spare moment. She most often paints the “Peak" of the Blue Ridge Mouritains in her backyard as well as the nearby rolling and forested fields on her farm. Constantly aware of her surroundings, noting colors, shapes, lights and darks, Gowen remarked, “My art helps me go beyond myself and be at peace with the world outside.” Gowen’s childhood is far removed from where she is now. Her life as a small child in Latvia and then a refugee escaping Nazi Germany in World War II before she finally came to the United States as a young girl, is a moving tribute to the courage of children. Gowen studied architecture and design at the University of Washington-Seattle before moving east to Philadelphia. She returned to college in Hie late 1970s where she received a BA. in interior design from Mt. Vernon College in Washington, D.C. and began painting as a career. About six years ago, Gowen and her husband, Geoffrey, moved to Rappahannock Gounty where she took up her water color painting in earnest. ‘PutHOHL THaaten Siacfomit/l Among Flint Hill’s best known artisans is master blacksmith Nol Putnam. With some 30 years experience and some well-deserved fame for designing the beautiful wrong iron gates and ceremonial flower holders for the interior of the National Cathedral in Washington, Putnam’s work is highly treasured by those who have commissioned his works of art. Putnam’s creative work is in the classical European tradition and includes driveway gates, memorial gates, and balconies. Putnam was bom in Boston, Massachusetts and attended Trinity College, Harvard University, and . the University of Massachusetts. From 1959 to 1972, he taught high school history and creative writing. But in 1973 he decided to change careers completely and became a professional blacksmith. In his first foray into Rappahannock County, Putnam came to exhibit his small works at the 4th of July Fair in Little Washington in 1972. He was so enamored of the area that he returned a few years later, bought his first home, and has lived here permanently since 1982. His current home and studio are just a few miles north of Flint Hill near Huntly where literally hundreds of visitors came to see his work at last year’s RAAC Artists Tour. &vuf *£tfKK &uil£ielct KJatotcolonM A lifelong native and resident of Rappahannock County, Cory Caulfield is best known for her botanical watercolors of plants and flowers. Lately, she has returned to oils as well. Like other artists of this area, Caulfield says, “I feel so blessed to five in Rappahannock County and be a part of such a vibrant art community ” Her home and studio off Grimsley Road near Flint Hill is the perfect setting for her paintings, with flowers and woods surrounding her. This rural environment grounds her interest in botanicals, landscapes and subjects from the natural world. Cory sold her first painting at age sixteen and then began to pursue her career in fine arts at an early age. Although she is largely self-taught, Cory has studied privately with artists in the United States, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. She has been much influenced by American watercolorist. Winslow Homer as well as the Dutch and Flemish painters of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. “I am especially inspired by the life-like detail and the deep philosophical issues these earlier great artists raise about art and its relationship to nature and life,” she said. Much of Ms. Caulfield’s art is privately commissioned. However, she also has been represented by galleries in Washington DC., New York, Miami, Stockholm, Copenhagen and other cities. She recently was selected for several public art projects in Washington D.C. and Ocean City, MD.

S<utdna, 'TKeu&ie One of Rappahannock County’s best known and most popular artists is Sandra Forbush of Foxhill Farm near Flint Hill. Forbush is perhaps best known for her paintings of horses and steeplechases as well as dogs, but she is equally sought after as a portrait painter for her masterly techniques and life-like images. She is listed in Marquis’ Who’s Who of American Women. Forbush’s career began as a professional model in New York. Later she became a wife and mother and an active horsewoman. While recuperating from a car accident some years ago that ended her life in the saddle, Forbush felt drawn once again to the fine arts and signed up for classes at the Corcoran School of Art and Northern Virginia Community College. And her new “artistic” career took off for new heights. Since becoming a professional artist, her works have been selected for exhibit at the American Academy of Equine Art, the Dog Museum, the Beresford Gallery in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and the Museum of Hounds and Hunting. She also was named a Hall of Fame artist by the Virginia Thoroughbred Association, and has held one-man shows in Houston, Texas, Middleburg, Va., at the National Trust’s Montpelier, and the Farmington Hunt Club. For the past 13 years, Forbush has become an art professor and conducts small private oil painting classes in her home. This new twist in her career was encouraged by her husband, Gus, so that she could share her talents by teaching. Much to her pleasure and pride, some of her students—like the Burdick twins, Tyler and Austin—have won a number of awards lately. She exhibits her students work in a popular Fall Exhibit each year held in the English gardens of her old farm home. Kid Pan Alley returns to Rappahannock By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s hard not to get excited about music and songwriting when you talk with Kid Pan Alley founder and artistic director Paul Reisler. Reisler discovered years ago while working with children in rural Rappahannock County that partner' ing with their creativity and his songwriting and composing talents that great things can happen. Ajnd they did. With the recording of his CD Tidal Wave of Song in 2000 which featured musicians such as Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton, Cooter’s Garage Band and the Daycare Swindlers in addition to Reisler, it set off in motion a cavalcade of songs now totaling over 600 and involving over 12,000 children from all parts of the country. “It’s pretty remarkable really,” said an ebullient Reisler as he shared his plans for an upcoming two-week residency program in Rappahannock starting the week of October 16. Dividing his time between Wakefield County Day School, Hearthstone School and the Rappahannock County Elementary School, Reisler will be working closely with second through fifth graders to create some new songs. Set to the accompaniment of a 7-piece band, Reisler plans a January concert to showcase his and the children’s efforts. “Imagine the excitement of writing a song and then having it performed,” beamed Reisler. “It’s transforming. They can become creators , of music.” Paul Reisler Guiding the children through the songwriting process from the original idea to the finished song is a process that Reisler has fine tuned. “You never know what they’re going to want to write about,” he smiled. “It’s an amazing process, really, working in the classrooms, songs can come out of nowhere.” As Reisler journeys along his path of composing and music making, he can recall many mini-success stories of quiet students suddenly turned on by the opportunity to create their own brand of music. “I had one young man who really surprised his teacher,” remembered Reisler. “The experience lifted his self-esteem." When Reisler finds himself working in a school with kids, it’s not only those students who benefit. “It’s all about building comm uni ty,” stressed Reisler who mentioned the numerous organizations that help sponsor Kid Pan Alley among them Ki Theatre, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and the schools themselves. With partial funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Reisler is looking to raise some matching funds but is confident that it won’t be a problem. He recently learned that the county’s educational foundation, Headwaters, will be helping with the program. “We are going to support his 2 week residency with a grant, the amount of which is yet to be determined. Headwaters is very pleased to be able to support programs such as this which further our mission of fostering educational excellence in Rappahannock County,” said executive director Cole Johnson. While many of his residency programs are held throughout the country, it is Reisler’s intent to bring them back annually to the students of Rappahannock County. “This is where it all began,” stated Reisler who was quick to admit that his greatest joy is “working with the kids.” “I really enjoy what I’m doing.” Stay tuned in the weeks ahead to learn the time and place for Reisler’s January concert and if you’d like to make a contribution to this year’s Kid Pan Alley Residency Program in Rappahannock, phone Ki Theatre at (540) 987-3164, Email the reporter at asherman@timespapers. com Fingerstyle guitarist Laurence Juber returns to The Theatre Guitarist Laurence Juber will return to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia to give a solo concert on Saturday, October 14 at 8 p.m. He is one of the world’s foremost acoustic guitarists, and a celebrated practitioner of finger-style guitar playing. Juber was bom in London and started playing the guitar professionally at the age of thirteen. He quickly became a featured soloist with England’s National Youth Orchestra and while still a student at London University, he played in several of London’s West End musicals, including Jesus Christ Superstar. In 1978, Paul McCartney asked Juber to become the lead guitarist for his band Wings. He recorded and toured with Wings for three years. He won the “Best Rock Instrumental” Grammy award for the track Rockestra from the album Back to the Egg. After Wings folded in 1981, Juber moved to California and continued his career as a solo artist and arranger. His guitar playing has been featured in several major films, and he has numerous television credits. Among many artists and groups with whom Juber has worked are George Harrison, Ringo Starr, A1 Stewart, and The Monkees. Later this month, and in November, Juber will appear as special guest with A1 Stewart at concerts in England, including the Royal Albert Hall in London and at Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool. The latest of Juber’s many CDs is called “One Wing” and features fingerstyle guitar arrangements of some of Paul McCartney’s songs from the “Wings” Era. Juber has recently finished recording a new CD, “I’ve Got the World on Six Strings”, and it is possible that he will include some of the music from this CD during the upcoming concert.

Fee] NO BUYERS PREMIUMS Inspiring; Ttimigfits by Randy Minter PAYING FINAL RESPECTS If the decision is made to have a “viewing”, the casket will be open and the body of the deceased will be visible to mourners. Many grief experts believe that seeing the body helps surviving relatives and friends accept the fact of death in a most tangible manner. This paves the way for the grieving process to progress. Whether the casket is open or closed, a “visitation” involves laying the body out in a casket so that friends and family can pay their final respects to the deceased. A visitation can last for an hour or for days preceding the funeral. Depending on the family’s wishes, it can be restricted to immediate family or be open to the public. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave. Wanenton, we know that each family grieves and deals with death in their own way. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries.

Welcome Julie Emery! Welcome to my first column of Anussville news! My name is Julie Emeiy and I’ve lived in beautiful Rappahannock County about four and a half years now. It’s the most beautiful place we’ve ever lived. Of course, two of the other places we’ve lived were Kansas and New Jersey, so you have an edge! I was raised on a dairy farm in the Midwest and it’s been a joy to return to a rural area. Our most recent home before Amissville was Miami, Florida. While it was a wonderful place to live, there was nothing rural about it. And hurricane seasons are a lot more fun in Rappahannock County! But the best part about moving here has been the wonderful friends and neighbors who surround us. I’ve found the people here to be kind, generous and definitely very interesting. And that’s the real reason I’m so excited about the chance to write this column. While I’ve I Amissville I s Julie Emery 937-2315 Julie@ JulieEmery.com had the opportunity to meet many of you, I already know this will give me the chance to meet a lot more of you and hear your stories.

If anyone would like to make a donation for Hailey Childress please call American Road Motorcycles and ask for Ginger or Bill at (540) 937-9896. All of you are now my eyes and ears. I’ll look forward to hearing from you about what local activities are coming up here in Amissville. I love a good story and I can’t wait to hear what amazing exploits you’ve engaged in, what prizes you’ve won and who our newest neighbors are. Please let me hear from you. Sperryville boasts more great food Artist Reception October 26, 5-8 p. m. —in D.C.! Long View Gallery in the city will have a grand opening reception at their new gallery at 1302 Ninth Street, NW, in Washington, D.C. I previously wrote about the gallery which represents so many of our Rappahannock artists. For those of you who missed the July 20th reception, you are invited to attend in October. For additional information go to: www.longviewgallery.com Be sure to look at the list of artists which includes a substantial number from Rappahannock County. Hopkins Ordinary featured In July our favorite B&B was overflowing with furniture, Christmas trees and holiday d6cor. Plow and Hearth used Hopkins Ordinary as one of the sites to feature items for the Hobday catalogue, now in our mailboxes. Page 124 features the Blue Room. Some of the other pages used as background include: pp. 28-29 with blazing fires, p.79 with rugs on hardwood floors, p. 81 with fireplaces, p. 95 with Conestoga cupboards. This week, October 3,4, 5 Plow and Hearth is back! So don’t be surprised when you see all those trucks, fights and furniture on Main Street again. Rae’s will be open by October 8th Good food, palm trees, bright colors and cheeiy smiles will greet you next week at Rae’s on Main Street. Having overcome several last minute challenges (the oven was too big; incompatible gas hookups!), Rae is just about ready to open the doors! In addition to Davette Leonard’s incredibly joyful exterior mural, her sign will bring you to a screeching halt at the door. Welcome back, Rae! Taking a turn as chef Nate Yount is taking a turn at being the chef at Thornton River Grille. Everything that we tasted at dinner was beautifully presented and delicious! Although Nate credits experience he received from his chef-mentor who had previously worked at the Inn, Nate has created his own style of cooking. Continuing the tradition of excellence at the Thornton River Grille, you will be delighted with every meal that comes out of Nate’s kitchen! Wynn Ludwig’s report on the spaghetti dinner The Saturday night Spaghetti Dinner put together and served by Michelle Jenkins and her trusty crew of volunteers at the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary was wonderful. The atmosphere was like walking into a friend’s home and sitting at the kitchen table. Just like home, there was plenty for seconds. Spaghetti sauce, meat and vegetarian, garlic bread, salad with many dressings to choose from and home made cookies were the evening fare. Because I am the newest member of the Auxiliary, no one knew me from a hole in the wall. Yet I was greeted with smiles and warm welcomes. Maybe that was because I was the salad lady or maybe because everyone is just as nice as they can be! The biggest surprise of the evening was the Karaoke that followed dinner. While up to my elbows in soapy water with Sperryville Barbara Adolfi adolfibarbara@ verizon.net (540) 987-8682 pots and pans I heard Loretta Lynn belting out “Coal Miners Daughter”. I ran into the hall and saw a sweet young woman holding a microphone, staring, into an electronic box singing her heart out. WOW!

Remembering Uncle Willie I want to share a story with you about my Uncle Willie. His name was William Strother Brady, and his life spanned the years from 1874 to 1961. He and Aunt Bessie lived just out the road from our home in PuUentown. He had a bushy mustache, which, as a kid, I found interesting and unusual. You know how kids are. Willie and Bessie were married in Clark Hollow, on January 29, 1902, at the home ■ ' — '"•=- '• • “ ;'_. _ ■ _; y->; .- ' ; - .. "” .fUKfOTrry^soWL^i^j^i ||J|§*rI'm of Bessie’s parents, George Washington Pullen and Susan Catherine Clark Pullen. In that same cabin, in 1903, my father, Moffett Brady, was bom to Bessie’s sister, Delia, and Judd Brady. The chimneys are still there on the side of the road. Uncle Willie was not the brother of my Dad, who was an only child, but the brother of Dad’s father, Judd. Judd and Willie married sisters. So, Uncle Willie was my great uncle. He and Aunt Bessie had a son early in their marriage, Lyle, but he died in his youth. When I was a child, they were already in their senior years. For some period of time, they had worked and lived at Rose Hill, the Civil-war era home on the north side of route 211, just west of Massie’s Comer. Tbm Massie told me he knew of this, as well, and thought they may have been employed there caring for an older owner or relative. Those must have been good years for them, as I recall they spoke of them fondly and often. Uncle Willie never owned a car. They did have a carriage, or a horse buggy, but there was no horse to pull it, and I never saw it in use. Uncle Willie walked wherever he had to go, or someone gave him a ride. Uncle Willie wore gumboots almost all the time, the pull-on kind that comes up to just below the knee. His pants legs were always tucked inside the boots. Uncle Willie said a lot of things that, as a kid, I thought were funny. One summer, he had some big, green McIntosh apples from Mr. Keyser’s orchard, just out the road. We were sitting on a shaded bench in his yard, near the back door, Brady’s Clark Hollow Rambungs Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com where he could hear Aunt Bessie if she called to him. Aunt Bessie had a bad hip, and she rarely left the house. He gave me one of the apples, and, like any kid, I took a couple of big bites, and the juice was flying everywhere, and the apple would just crack when I bit into it. Uncle Willie, I think admiring my ability to consume the apple with such gusto, laughed and said, “Son, you sound like a hog cracking acorns.” I laughed with him. I can picture him on just about every Saturday morning, about 8:00 or 9:00 o’clock, walking slowly, somewhat humped over, coming out the road past Uncle Horace and Aunt Myrtle’s house, and past the old shop, and on to our house. He needed to go “to town,” to get some groceries and he would not leave Aunt Bessie by herself. He wanted me to come and sit with her. Many times I went willingly, because I liked Uncle Willie. He always had a twinkle in his eye. And he was a quiet man, and comfortable for a somewhat shy kid to be around. Other mornings, however, I had plans of my own, or I just didn’t want to hie bothered, particularly if it was during the school year, when every Saturday meant freedom. Sometimes, I would hide behind the big wood cook stove in the kitchen. Uncle Willie would come in, and say good morning to my Mom. And here, I must digress just a bit. Uncle Willie had a saying that \ye all remember today. When you asked how he was doing, he would almost always say he was doing OK. I never heard him complain. If you went further and said he looked well, he would smile, with that twinkle in his eye, and say, “Well, there never was anything wrong with my looks.” After exchanging a few morning pleasantries with my Mom or Dad, Uncle Willie would glance behind the stove, and see me there, but would not acknowledge me. He would ask my Mom, “Is Dickie-boy around?” And Mom would play the game and say, “He’s around here somewhere, Uncle Willie.” And Uncle Willie would say, “I wanted to see if I could get him to sit with Bess while I go to town. I have something for him.” The result was always the same. I came out from behind the wood stove, and went and sat with Aunt Bessie while Uncle Willie walked to Flint Hill, and got a handful of gro ceries in a white, cloth sack. Often, Dad would drive him, but Uncle Willie walked to Bradford’s store for his weekly groceries on many occasions. When Uncle Willie got back, and before I went home, I was presented, usually, with a nickel for sitting with Aunt Bessie, and sometimes a dime if I had helped with some simple chores, such as picking up sticks in the yard, sweeping off the porch or filling the water bucket from the spring. Like others in the area, their land had been cut into two pieces when the new road (522) came through, and their only source of water, a constant flowing spring by a huge poplar tree, was now on the other side of the new road. Uncle Willie and Aunt Bessie were laid to rest just behind the Flint Hill Methodist Church. But, like my great grandfather, Robert Brady, and his wife, Mary, I have been unable to find where Lyle was buried. Looking back on it now, I don’t know why I sometimes hid behind that stove. I wish I hadn’t. I should have gone willingly. But, you know how kids are. Rain or shine it was still a great time While the cold and wet weather that plagued the start of the day deterred many, the Chester Gap Vol. Fire Department’s Open House was still a success and a great time. Those who did brave the weather had their fill of cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, hamburgers, hot dogs, and yes, even the moon bounce saw some action.

Special guest Captain Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office was very popular with the DARE Program. Captain Brown was also hugely popular because he took control of the cotton candy machine and began to produce the stuff by the bag full! Needless to say he was everyone’s favorite from that point on. Also it needs to be said that Captain Brown was there for more much longer than asked and helped out in a variety of ways (he even manned the grill at one point) and on top of all that he was “off the clock” and volunteering his own time to help us out. So, on behalf of the Chester Gap Vol. Fire Department I’d like to personally thank Captain Brown for the time he spent with us and the many ways he helped to make the day just that much more enjoyable. A special fellow Also there’s another fellow who needs to be recognized for all of the hard work and effort he put into getting the fire station ready for the open house. Mr. Sam Tinsman has been very busy working to clean, straighten, rearrange, and paint the downstairs day room and office. Sam has turned out to be a painter of considerable skill and did a fantastic job which everyone appreciates. Sam has been a huge help all the way around at the fire station and will be greatly missed when he relocates at the end of the month. Sam, we all appreciate the hard work you’ve put in and you’ve been a huge asset to the department and you’ll be greatly missed! There are many other members who worked very hard to get the station ready for the open house and who work hard every other day as well.

Autumn is the time for fertilizing, sowing seeds Lawns and landscaping • Dig new garden beds for next spring. Incorporate plenty of organic matter, such as leaves, and leave the soil rough to allow good water penetration. Freezing and thawing will break up heavy clay soils. Plant a cover crop, also called green manure, to increase the soil’s organic matter content. • Do not retire the lawn mower when the growth of your lawn slows down this fall. As long as the grass continues to grow, it should be mowed. • Rake up leaves regularly -and don’t let them accumulate on the lawn. Store in a pile for use as mulch in your garden next summer. If leaves accumulate on your lawn and become matted down by rain, they may lull U1C gl OSS. • Early autumn is the best time of the year for the sowing of grass seed. Grass sown in spring is often killed by hot, dry summer weather. For more vigorous growth, spread a very thin mulch of clean straw over newly seeded areas. The straw shades delicate seedlings from the hot sun and helps preserve moisture in the soil, yet allows enough light through for germination. By the time cold weather arrives, the grass is fairly well established and ready to grow and thicken early the following spring. • Fall is usually cool and moist and a good time to plant trees and shrubs. Research has shown that roots will continue to grow until the soil freezes, which is about Thanksgiving in Virginia most years. This is true for both evergreen and deciduous plants. • Lawns should be fertilized in late September or early October. Consult your local Extension Agent for the most recent recommendations. Perennials • Fall is a great time to plant and divide perennials for next year’s garden. By planting in the fall, your plants do not endure the stressful summer heat during establishment and have time to form sufficient root systems before the onset of winter dormancy • Plant peonies now, but make sure the crowns are buried only 1 1/2 to 2 inches below ground level. Deeper planting keeps the plants from blooming. • Perennial phlox should be divided about every third or fourth year. Early fall and early spring are the best times to plant and transplant them. Divide big clumps into thirds. • Divide lily of the valley now and mix organic matter and fertilizer into the soil before replanting. • Mums can be transplanted while in bloom, which makes them useful for instant landscapes in early autumn. Water thoroughly the day before (or at least several hours before) digging plants, retaining as much of the root system as possible. Dig the new hole, and gently loosen a small amount of soil from the outer soil depth. Water thoroughly after placing the plants to settle them in. As with any transplanting, it is best to move mums in early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool. Monitor plants carefully for several days for wilting and shade briefly during the hotter part of the day, if necessary. Trees and shrubs • When planting ornamentals around the perimeter of a building, leave room behind the foundations plants to paint, put up screens, etc. A tree too close to the house may clog gutters with leaves. Roots can invade drain fields, crack walks, and pierce foundation walls. Leave plenty of space between buildings, houses and tree plantings. • Tb minimize the occurrence of black spot on roses, prune and remove infected areas. Be sure to destroy the clippings as the disease will carry over from year to year. * • Many balled and burJapped trees and shrubs are now cold wrapped in synthetic burlap that will not rot in the Ground, resulting in a root bound plant that does not grow well if the burlap is left in place. JSome of this material strongly resembles cotton burlap. Best to •remove all burlap before covering up the planting hole. “ • Wait until deciduous trees •end shrubs begin to drop their leaves before fertilizing them. ^This signals dormancy, when no n^w growth will be stimulated that might not harden off prior Jo cold temperatures. However, roots are active until soil temperature drops below 40 degrees T, so nutrients will be taken up and used by the plants to develop a stronger root system. Houseplants • Houseplants that have been outside all summer should be allowed to make a fairly slow transition to indoor conditions. Quick changes in environment can result in yellowed foliage and leaf drop, lb avoid injury, bring plants indoors before temperatures dip below 55 degrees F. Check for insect pests before you move the plants indoors. It is easier to get rid of pests while plants are still outdoors. Do not wait for frost warnings. Temperatures of 50 degrees F or lower can damage many tropical plants. NOTE: There will be a new Master Gardener training class starting in October.
