Commission OKs auto sales west of Sperryville By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer . The owners of the former site of Cooler’s Place west of Sperryville have a new autooriented idea for the 3-acre property. Willie and Cathem Smith hope to sell classic cars from the 1950s to 1970s to drum up more business activity on the property, which already includes a snack bar. The move will requires amendments to the county’s zoning ordinance. The Rappahannock County Planning Commission backed those changes at its monthly meeting on May 16. If the amendments are approved by the County Board of Supervisors on June 4, the ordinance will allow automobile sales, repair and service in the Highway Commercial zone. The area stretches from Sperryville west to Shenandoah National Park along U.S. 211. County Administrator John McCarthy supports the amendments. He said there is no justification for not allowing such activities in the Highway Commercial zone. Some businesses, such as B&B Service Center, already are allowed to perform such services because they existed before the ordinance was written. The omission of auto sales in the zoning code may have simply been an oversight, McCarthy said. Robert Weinberg, who represents the County Board of Zoning Appeals, said he thinks vintage car sales are a good fit for the tourist-focused strip. But other types of auto sales may not be as appropriate, he said. Willie Smith said he plans to focus on selling classic cars, but wants to be able to sell other types of cars if he needs to increase revenue. Smith does not plan to perform any major work on the cars. Waxing, washing and minor detailing would be inside on the site, he said. Weinberg said the commissioners should not assume that the omission of auto sales in the ordinance is an oversight. He proposed readvertising the matter to make the auto-sales amendment specific to vintage cars. But he received no support from the other commissioners. Stonewall-Hawthorne District commissioner Tom Tepper said the zoning ordinance should not differentiate between types of cars. He also said more business will be good for that part of the county- tyThe recommendation for the Board of Supervisors to approve the amendments carried 6 to 1. Weinberg was the only dissenting vote.

Virginia 22747 School security catches suspected gang member By Charlie Spiering Rappahannock News Staff Writer Christopher Lynn Minor Jr. of Warrenton, Va has been arrested by the Warrenton Police Department shortly after he attempted to enter the Rappahannock County High School. He was stopped by School Resource officer Captain Jeff Brown. Minor, 21, was entering the school on May 8 with another student when Brown stopped him and asked him for his identification. Upon examining the ID, Brown told Minor to leave the school grounds and took down the license tag number of Minor's vehicle. “I knew he didn’t belong there,” said Brown, “That’s one of the advantages of being in a small school.” Afterwards, Brown ran the I.D. information and the tag number in the Sheriff database and discovered that Minor was wanted in Fauquier County for a gang related incident that occurred in Fauquier County in October of 2005. The charges included abduction, attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and assault and battery. Brown contacted the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force about the incident at the high school. The following week, Minor was arrested on May 17, after officers found him hiding in a crawl space at a Mend’s home, according to Warrenton Police Chief Connie Novak. Minor is being held on $200,000 bail.

The Panthers played a fast paced first half as freshman Huck Pace scored the first goal for Rappahannock assisted by Gary White. Pace scored with a one touch shot into the upper comer of the net. Rappahannock was able to keep the ball under their control, as the defenders stopped short the few break away attempts made by the Eagles. A hard charge for the goal by Alex Ramey resulted in a penalty and a yellow card in the last part of the first half awarding the Clarke Eagles a penalty kick. The ball was blocked by Panther keeper Arne Utne, who leaped in the air, pushing up the ball that was headed for the top of the net. Utne swatted away another well aimed comer kick from Clarke County, allowing Rappahannock to breathe easy again. Utne blocked a total of 16 shots by Clarke County during the game. During the second half a strong effort by the Eagles was once again dismantled by the Panther defense and mids as Rappahannock made a few break away charges for the Eagle’s goal. The Panthers had a total of 18 shots on the Eagle’s goal during the game. Will Sonnet scored the second, and winning goal, with a diving header after Davy Torrence sent the ball in his direction. Sonnet’s game winning goal solidified their victory. Clarke came back hard following the Panther's goal, however, their shots on the goal were all stopped by Utne, much to the delight of spectators. Utne bowed to the crowd during the game which resulted Schedules Congratulations to the baseball, softball and boys soccer teams for their wins Tuesday in the semi-finals of the District Tournament Their schedules for the finals are: BasebaNRappahannock at Strasburg 7 p.m. (they are both in the Region Tournament winner is #1, loser is #2) Baseball enters the Region Tournament for the first time since their State run over 30 years ago!

Members from the church reportedly protested at the funeral claiming that Falwell was a “friend of gays.” Uhl is a freshman at Liberty University the Christian institution founded by FalweU, who referred to it as a “Bible boot camp.” Boot camp would not be a new experience for Uhl, who was a cadet in Liberty High School’s JROTC program, according to sources.

Condo plan received with skepticism By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Paul Stevenson’s concept to convert the Sperryville Antique Market into 24 condominium units seemed to be well received on May 16 at the monthly meeting of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission. But commissioners and audience members expressed skepticism about whether demand and infrastructure are sufficient to make the project viable. Stevenson’s proposal is not a formal application. His idea was on the commission’s agenda to gauge the county’s receptiveness to condominiums in Sperryville. “If it’s something that’s a nonstarter, then I can’t really afford to spend a lot of money” on the surveys, studies and other requirements of an official proposal, he said. Stevenson said the condo idea was born out of many conversations he has had with county residents about the need for affordable housing in Rappahannock. “What is your definition of affordable housing?” asked Stonewall-Hawthome District commissioner Tom Tepper. Stevenson said he plans to sell the condos for $200,000 to $300,000 and charge a monthly fee of $200 to $300. The units would likely be marketed toward persons over 55 years old. He said he would like to be able to sell some units to teachers, sheriffs deputies and other public servants, but he is not sure if that is legally practical. Tepper, who is an architect, told Stevenson he should approach the project “with extreme caution.” Unforeseen expenses on a 1940s-era building like the Antique Market may push construction costs well above the projected $175 per square foot, he said. Hampton District Commissioner Alvin Henry said similarly price condominiums exist in Warrenton and Culpeper and other areas that have hospitals, pharmacies, grocery stores and other amenities that elderly residents would need nearby. Henry also said he had worries about the impact of taking a 30,000-square-foot retail space out of Sperryville and overly stretching the volunteer fire and rescue services. “I think that’s going to have a spillover and affect the other commercial activity that has developed in Sperryville,” Henry said. “Is that going to put us toward having to have a paid person on the volunteer [fire and rescue] staff?” Henry suggested that Stevenson consider making a portion of the building into a lodge and maintain the rest as an antiques store. “I think the residential component is flawed,” Henry said. Commissioners also asked what Stevenson would do if the 24 units did not sell. He* answered that he plans to open a sales office and try to sell the condominiums before they are built. Unsold units would be rented, he said. Planning Commission representatives also asked whether the drilled well for the building could provide enough water for all the additional bathrooms, sinks, fire sprinklers and washing machines the development would bring. “I’m hesitant to talk too much about this before we know how much water it would use and how much is available,” said Ron Frazier, who represents the County Board of Supervisors on the commission. County Administrator John McCarthy said water availability will ultimately determine how many units can be built there. He also pointed out that for years the structure was an apple packing shed, which used thousands of gallons of water every day. “We want housing in the villages, we have to have housing in the villages,” McCarthy said. “We have teachers and deputies and other public employees ... and our children who are having a hard time finding a place to live.” But the county administrator said 24 condominiums is pushing the market. Adjacent property owner Alex Sharp said he favored Stevenson’s concept. Sharp’s building houses Copper Fox Antiques. “I can see where that area could go to a residential use,” Sharp said. “I agree that it would be nice if Sperryville had more commercial but that is kind of difficult” in the neighborhood around Water Street and River Lane, because it does not have direct access to the highway. Sharp added that he thinks his building “may be a candidate somewhere down the road” for residential use. Rick Wasmund, who runs the Copper Fox Distillery next to the Antique Market, expressed clear opposition to the condo project. He said he does not think the neighborhood is suitable for such a high-density development. “Twenty-four new units basically quadruples the population in that section of Sperryville,” Wasmund said. He also questioned the fire safety of the Antique Market, said elderly residents would be better served by a newly constructed building and challenged the claim that there is a high demand for affordable housing in Rappahannock. “People who don’t live here don’t want to live here, because they want to be closer to city things,” Wasmund said. “It’s not because they can’t find a place to live here ” E-mail the reporter at kallen@timespapers.com V Look for signs on Rt 211.

MORE news online...rappnews.co II Centex expects first homes built by spring By Jason Peck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rumors spread that a slowing housing market has stopped the mammoth Clevenger’s Village project in its tracks. The development planned on Rt. 229 is just miles from the Rappahannock County border line as you head west on U.S. 211 out of Fauquier County. The rumors apparently are wrong. Officials with developer Centex Homes say the first homes will likely appear next spring. “We’ll try to record first 70 or so .lots,” Centex spokesman William Neville said. “We feel that gives us a good start, the plan takes care of being able to build homes.” Construction of water and sewer plants is under way, at a cost of $17 million. Construction equipment dots the Stevensburg site, where workers are grading the land in preparation of the first houses. The project comprises a total of 776 lots - along with commercial buildings and a Main Street community. Officials expect to build in seven phases within the next several years. But first the company must build the plant and get approval from the county supervisors. The board has approved the zoning, and will view plans for the first phase of the project. Director of Community Development Dave Gratew said their subdivision would be “very consistent” with plans they submitted earlier. ' “It’s just what the county requires,” he explained. They require preliminary plan to be submitted and approved.” The final plan will appear before supervisors within a month. The real estate company is limited to producing only 120 homes each year. A slowing housing market last year forced Centex out of communities where its application was pending. But Centex already bought land in Culpeper, and signed contracts to build an expensive sewer plant for the county. “Quite frankly, it’s one of their high-profile projects,” company lawyer Butch Davies said. “They are committed into the sewer plant. It’s a huge project - a multimillion dollar project. They’re not going to walk away from that.” Original plans for the project predicted prices ranging from $300,000 to $400,000. Davies predicted the price would likely rise to $500,000, and claimed the development would benefit the county. “Remember, it’s upscale housing,” Davies said. “It’s going to more than pay its way. Plus, you have the commercial component. We’re getting constant calls from banks and wine shops and realtors asking to be part of our village.” 5:30 pm FRIDAY, May 25, at the gallery Rt. 211 (10 Maddox Lane), Amissville, VA Featuring a complete workshop of tooLs. plus furniture, corns, and much more make plans m>u- to he here TOOLS - Woodtek dust collector 805-9^0; Ridgid chop saw on stand; Dewatt planer; Intergram drill press; Craftsman spindle sander; table saw; Craftsman wrenches, screwdrivers, etc,; toolboxes; router &. stand; workbenches, stands; Ip. vise; clamps; long' handled tools; power hand ttxils; much more.

A newspaper in Rappahannock County has been around since 1877 when it carried the same name as it does today - however, only for one year. Then it became The Blue Ridge Echo and later “The Call.” In 1886, the masthead read The Blue Ridge Guide and there are some copies floating around the county from the early 1900s. There was even a period of more than 10 years where no newspaper existed in the county. Arthur “Nick” Arundel purchased The Rappahannock News in May of 1977. The Times Community Papers have grown over the years to now include a cadre of more than a dozen local, weekly papers reaching over 650,000 readers in Northern Virginia and The Greater Piedmont. The Rappahannock News nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is the furthest west with The Alexandria Times to the east, The Culpeper Times to the south and the Clarke Times Courier tn the north. In between, there is the Fauquier Times Democrat and its latest addition The Fauquier Weekender, The Gainesville Times and the Loudoun Times Mirror. The Fairfax Division rounds out the chain with papers serving McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Herndon, Chantilly, Burke, Reston and more. The staff of the Rappahannock News currently includes the editor, Anita L. Sherman, two writers, Kevin Allen and Charlie Spiering, our ad consultant Stephanie Heflin and our loyal and hardworking office manager, Jan Clatterbuck. John Toler is the Executive Editor for the Warrenton Division which includes The Rappahannock News. John is also one of the original writers for this paper and originally served as its general manager. In addition, the Rappahannock News' has a host of neighborhood columnists and freelancers who regularly contribute to these pages. By far the most prolific photojoumalist is Flint Hill’s Richard Lykes whose prose and photos grace the paper nearly every week. Rappahannock businesses continue to support The Rappahannock News with their advertising dollars and for the third year, the Rappahannock News will again publish their Rappahannock Guide during the summer. It is with great pride that the staff and owner of the Rappahannock News celebrates this 30-year birthday and looks forward to many more years serving the community of Rappahannock C6unty. Tapping the top ten The Rappahannock News would like to do a little boasting about some of the brightest stars out there and plans to feature ten in upcoming weeks.

Letters Relay breaks new record The committee of the Rappahannock County Relay for Life wishes to thank all who contributed to the very successful Relay held May 19-20, 2007. I personally credit our success to a dedicated, hardworking committee, 37 committed teams and everyone who donated their time and money to this worthwhile cause. The committee consists of: Becky Atkins, Ben Atkins, Beverly Atkins, Carolyn Leake, Camden Littleton, Bette Mahoney, Cindy Robinson, Bubby Settle, Ester Settle, Tamara Settle and Ellen Timbers. I have said it before and will say it again. This county amazes me! We raised $84,457.67 to date for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life! From testimony heard at opening ceremonies we’ve learned first hand how the American Cancer Society has assisted survivors in our community. We also learned about research drugs and how important they can be in our fight. These are just two examples of all the services provided by the American Cancer Society. This year we were honored to have the Rappahannock County High School Band play at opening ceremonies. Also, all the young people enjoyed the roping lessons given by Jay Miller, Camden Littleton and Peter Hitchen. Thank you again for all your caring support of the Rappahannock County Relay for Life. Ester Settle Team Recruitment Chair 2007 Rappahannock County Relay for Life. Photq by Ricfiard Lykes Beverly and John Sullivan were gracious hosts as guests gathered at The Meadows for this year’s garden party. A truly great spring garden party! The Trinity Church Garden Guild wishes to thank all who participated in any manner in the enormous success of our annual fund raising Great Spring Garden Party. There is no lovelier place for such an affair in all of Rappahannock County than the home of Beverly and John Fox Sullivan and surely no more splendid hosts than they. Our hardworking committee succeeded in producing, as usual, a magnificent and bountiful buffet, causing many appreciative comments from our guests, numbers of whom also eagerly bought up all the table decorations donated by Donna Brune of Persimmon Spring Farm. The whole operation ran super-smoothly thanks to the tireless efforts of Edith B. Dortha, Betty Sue Sisk and Flordeliza Cezar. It was truly a grand evening, and the Guild surpassed our goals and expectations. As has always been the case, all profits will go into our endowment fund to ensure the continuing maintenance and enhanced beautification of Trinity Church’s - gardens for the pleasure of future generations of residents and visitors alike. Kudos to all who made this possible. Nancy Weitx and Catherine Stark Bull Co-Chairwomen of the Garden Guild Washington Thank you for your support! The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank the community and everyone who supported our carnival. Special thanks to the Queen contestants and to Sue Baldwin, Betty Grigsby and Margaret Ann Wayland and to all of the businesses who so kindly donated to our fire department. It is your cooperation and interest which enables the services of a volunteer organization to the community to be as successful as it is today. _ God Bless SVFD and Auxiliary Powerful connections few weeks ago I received ilun email message from a United Methodist pastor in San Felipe, Texas. His small church was so moved by the Virginia Tech tragedy that they sent 100 cards of condolence and support to the Wesley Foundation — a United Methodist Campus Ministry that provides pastoral and spiritual support to students. Upon learning that the first victim was from Rappahannock County, the pastor did an Internet search and found the online edition of the Rappahannock News that featured Richard Lykes’ article, “Rappahannock Celebrates the Life of Emily Hilscher.” The pastor was deeply moved by tl^e article and in particular, he was touched by the part that mentioned Emily’s boyfriend, Karl. The pastor also lost a love to death when he was about the same age. He has been praying for Karl and his family in the wake of this tragedy. I wanted you to know how our local newspaper has impacted others far beyond the borders of this county. There is indeed a Power that connects all of us, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Pictures tar fejstration purpose only Offer ends 5/31/07 Going to regionals! By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News The last time that Rappahannock County High School’s baseball team went to the Region B tournament: • Gerald Ford was President. • A gallon of gasoline was 32 cents. • Ice cream was red, white and blue to commemorate the upcoming Bicentennial celebration. “I think we fooled some people this season,” said Rappahannock County head coach Jeff Jenkins, who was a member of the junior varsity baseball team in the spring of 1976 when the varsity Panthers won the regional title and eventually finished as the Group A state runner up. “With all that we lost from last year . this is a good team, a good bunch of guys, a well balanced team.” The Panthers will face regular season district champion Strasburg Thursday night for the tournament title. The Rams scored a 6-2 win over visiting Manassas Park Tuesday night. Should Rappahannock defeat the Rams for the district tournament title, it would host the opening round of the regional tournament Monday at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Tuesday afternoon, the Panthers rode the left arm of senior Ethan Russell, who tossed a two-hitter and struck out 13 in Tuesday afternoon’s Bull Run District tournament semifinal 2-1 win over George Mason. Russell, who has been a major clog in the Rappahannock machine, shook off a thirdinning liner off the bat of fellow pitcher Bryon Mendenhall that bounced off his pitching arm for an infield single in the top of the third. The shot appeared to stun Russell who walked Alex Prewitt and hit Matt Dorr with a pitch to load the bases. “Ethan told me that his arm was numb,” Jenkins said. “I told him to walk around until he could feel every finger. Take all the time that you need.” Third baseman Mike Straub battled Russell, fouling off pitch after pitch before finally going down on strikes. In all, Russell needed 12 pitches before fanning Straub and ending the threat. After the third inning threat, Russell retired 12 of the last 13 George Mason players he faced. He got the side in order in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings, striking out all three hitters in the sixth. Russell threw 107 pitches. His teammates mobbed him near the first base line after he got Tim Hillegas to ground out for the game’s final out. “I was so sacred at the end of the game,” Russell said, “when (Jenkins) came out and said that I had to get (Hillegas). The top of the lineup was coming up, and those are the guys who can really hit.” George Mason managed just one more base runner, shortstop Jimmy Piscopo, who doubled down the left field line in the fifth. Piscopo stole third but was left stranded as Russell got Mendenhall to line out to first baseman L.B. Settle and Prewitt to ground out to second. Mendenhall allowed three hits in six innings. He fanned two Rappahannock hitters in tossing just 52 pitches. “(Mendenhall) is probably the best pitcher that we will see in single A ball,” Rappahannock MEMORIAL AY \'V Also Uplo *20% OFF InstockS Special Older Furniture Visit Our Sidewalk Sale • Friday-Monday May 25-May28 Cannot Be Comtanad With Any Othar SataaorSpaciali Bare Woods Furniture Chan^ Wetfwaday CL06E0 Ttusday 1M*Sa»ad«¥ Warrantor) Hours Mon, Is Wad, Ri 106 ThasdS 108 Saudai 105 SundeaOOSED • 165 West Ljs highway • 540341-3006 (Between Satoany and Sears) OwrtBy* 141506 WhrdRd«70M7H8Bi wwwbarewoodsfurn#ure.com County senior catcher Will Miller said, “but we stepped it up. Russell threw an awesome game. Both guys threw great games.” In three years, Mendenhall lost four district games, three to Rappahannock. Rappahannock rallied from a 1-0 deficit with its two runs in the third. With one out, Settle walked. Jonathan Butler followed with a single up the middle to put runners at first and second. Jenkins went to his bench and inserted C. J. Ray as a courtesy runner for Settle. Bobby Czekaj singled. On the play, Crawford was thrown out trying to score, while Czekaj and Butler moved to second and third, respectively. Russell then hit a bouncer to George Mason first baseman Derek Blodgett, who elected to go home with his throw, which was not in time to nab Butler. “That was a huge mental error” Miller added. Said Russell, “I turned and saw the ball bounce in from of the catcher. I was hoping Jonathan was safe.” With runners at the comers and Adam Gessner at the plate, Mendenhall caught Russell off first base. During the rundown, Czekaj broke and scored. Russell was tagged out, but Rappahannock had a 2-1 lead. The Mustangs scored an unearned run in the third. Piscopo and Mendenhall each reached base on infield errors. Prewitt’s sacrifice moved the runners in scoring position. A passed ball allowed Piscopo to cross the plate with a 1-0 lead. “We made three errors in that first inning, and I told our guys that no matter who starts this off and scores, it’s going to be a dose game,” Jenkins said. Smith jumps long to win By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Six Panthers are getting ready to run in Friday's regional track and field meet at Charlottesville’s Monticello High School After some big performances at the Bull Run District meet on May 16 at Manassas Park, four boys and two girls are heading to the Group A, Region B event. At districts, senior Irving Smith leaped to first place in the long jump with a distance of 20 feet, five inches. Smith also finished second in the triple jump and fourth in the high jump. The 400-meter relay team of Smith, senior Jesse Palmer and sophomores Brooke Stokes and Daniel Rollins picked up a second-place finish. Rollins also placed fifth in the long jump and Palmer finished sixth in the 400-meter dash. Palmer, Rollins, Smith and Stokes will be representing Rappahannock at the region meet. On the girls’ side, freshman Carly Day finished sixth in the 100-meter dash at the district meet. She will be running the 100-meter again at the region meet and sophomore Marie Scavetti will be running the 100-meter hurdles. Financial Problems?

Virginia emerging as polo mecca of 21st century Virginia International Polo Club sprouts at Llangollen Farm By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer Cognizant of her own tentative start in the sport of polo, when former show jumper Maureen Brennan decided to establish the Virginia International Polo Club at Llangollen, her family’s recently-acquired 1200-acre estate in Upperville, her first step was to set up its polo school. Brennan was an international level show jumper until seven years ago. She was invited to participate in an exhibition “Twilight Polo” match at Great Meadow involving show jumpers. She asked organizers for a polo lesson. That’s all it took. “I was hooked,” she said. Since then, Brennan has emerged as a driving force in organizing higher-goal matches and leagues in the area. Her Goose Creek team went to tiie finals of the US Polo Association’s 26-goal Gold Cup tourney in Aiken, S.C. last year, losing to New Bridge — a championship team anchored by 10-goaler Adolfo Cambiaso — by only one point. German Noguera, a Chilean 3-goaler, is VTPC manager and runs the club’s polo school. With two grass fields being put in and an arena slated for completion in June, Noguera looks forward to further expansion in the sport. “We’re looking to provide a venue primarily for various levels of grass polo,” he said. “The arena is just for rainy days and won’t be lighted. We’re not going to be competing for Great Meadow’s niche. “We understand that for any dub to be sustainable, it needs to continually feed new players into the system,” Noguera explained. The polo {Great Meadow / Virginia^sEp^cihterof^lo L J school bam is an airy 28-stall affair just yards from the stick-and-ball field. Currently there are 30 students signed up for regular lessons, ranging in age from 10 to 70. The school provides players for league play; they often graduate to regular play, and, when they are rated, often acquire their own string of ponies and become more involved in the sport. Noguera said he finds it fulfilling to introduce the sport to neophytes of any age and gender. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Betsy Parker LOOKS LIKE A LONG LIFE: Polo has taken root and exploded in Virginia’s horse country; there are more than 26 private fields in the region, plus the one above at Great Meadow, used for public matches such as the inaugural Courage Cup last summer. “Professionals with high-pressure jobs in DC come out to de-stress and they tell me that they go back to work in a more productive frame of mind. , It’s great to hear that It’s also great to see start kids out and see them develop not just riding and hitting skills but build character and discipline as well. “When they’re ready to graduate to actual play, we have several leagues and levels to accommodate them. We’re a very inclusive club. You don’t have to hire a pro to play in theleagues and have fun. Whether you have two horses or six, or need to lease your mounts, we find a way to fit you in,” Noguera said. Noguera maintains a string of 80-plus ponies for the school and for lease, many of which he bred at his family farm in Chile and imported to Virginia. Several other Chilean and Argentine pros will be basing out of Llangollen this summer, he said, with ponies — trained and green — available for use and sale. Eight teams are currently signed up for the VIPC 4-goal league and four are signed up for the 8-goal format. League matches will use the historic Phipps field at Goose Creek until Llangollen . „ „ 4 > - w < *■ , <* ' -r •' ' * ' - ■■ Polo on go • Saturday, June 2 - marks the start of Saturday twilit polo at Great Meadow In •> The Plains.

A recent epidemic has hit the area, spreading its contagious grasp over hill and dale — polo. From its exclusivity, rich and royal appeal, to the gritty, rough and weathered faces of seasoned polo pros, the addictive sport has gained in recent years to call Fauquier's horse country home. “Polo is undergoing a tremendous growth in the region,” said Phil Karber, president of the Great Meadow Polo Club, based out of Great Meadow in The Plains. “One indication of it is the 25 percent increase in playing infrastructure — fields and arenas — in the last five years.” With local fields popping up like springtime dandelions, the thirst for the sport can be quenched at ground zero of the Virginia polo scene: the Great Meadow Fblo dub. Home to several professional players, induding Doug Barnes, John Gobin and J.B. Olinger, Great Meadow has attracted recognizable names from other arenas, including actor John Walsh of “America’s Most Wanted.” Every summer Saturday night, Great Meadow will host doubleheader arena matches. These evening games bring polo to a new crowd who attend not only for sport but for a night of tailgating and socializing under the stars. “I cannot think of a better way to spend my Saturday night than being under the lights hanging with friends and watching great polo,” said Warrenton’s Lydia Reynolds, 21. “Its simply the best” Destination Polo, located at Willow Rim Farm across from Great Meadow, is captained by Doug Barnes, a 3-goaler from Texas. Destination Polo offers every level of instruction, including basic beginner riding lessons and sunset trail rides up adjacent Wildcat Mountain, to intense one-on-one training sessions for experienced riders on grass or in the arena. Not far from Willow Rim is another polo school with both a state-of-the-art arena and two regulation grass fields for league play and practice. Chetwood Park is owned by Dr. Charles Seger; 3-goal pro Martin Maldonado heads the club this year. Chetwood hosts games Friday nights. A third venue has been set up at historic Llangollen Farm in Upperville. The new polo mecca will have several regulation grass fields, including a championship field, boarding stalls for traveling teams and players, a mile oval exercise track to keep the ponies fit and more. The facility also will play host to high-goal play as early as this fall. Llangollen’s resident pro, German Noguera, said that league play and his polo school are already in operation. Polo offers exceptional aerobic exercise, superb muscular training, and an excuse to be out in the sun for an afternoon of fun, added the Chilean native. “Polo is veiy healthy. (It) keeps young people out of trouble. If they’ve got a string of ponies to care for, and games to play, they’ll stay off the street.” With so many options and opportunities, area polo fans have choices. Noguera and Karber agree that the clubs aren’t out to compete with each other, they aim to support the growth of a sport they both are passionate about “The idea is to grow polo,” Noguera said. “Llangollen won’t hurt Great Meadow and the other schools and regular games, it will help grow the sport.” Karber couldn’t agree more. “Great Meadow does not compete with local clubs, but gives them a place to play each other as well as a central gathering act to interact with others interested in the sport.” Information on polo games, lessons and more can be found online at www.greatmeadowpoloclub.com.

June 2: Hyperfitness Borders in Warrenton welcomes Sean Burch on Saturday, June 2, at 2:00 p.m. USA Today cajls Sean Burch “The undisputed poster boy of ultimate fitness.” National Geographic cites him as “one of the world’s top extreme adventurers.” His Hyperfitness program prepared him for his climb up Everest without supplemental oxygen, as well as his historic records in the North Pole Marathon and his run up Mount Kilimanjaro. Most recently, he scaled a record 63 previously unclimbed mountain summits in Tibet in just 23 days. What does Hyperfitness mean? It means setting goals and attaining them, in the process discovering that we are stronger and tougher than we knew. And it means taking the workout to a whole new level. As Sean explains, most exercise routines are based on isolation movements that won’t change your body or build real strength. His innovative exercises and explosive drills are designed to build the overall strength, quickness and endurance of a world-class athlete. And the exercises are fun and varied! But the physical training is just one part of what it takes to be Hyperfit. Sean's program focuses on three important, linked components - Hyperstrength, Hyperfare, and Hypermind. As essential as the workouts are, combining the workouts with the nutritional guidelines and mental conditioning techniques covered in Hyperfitness provide the building blocks to achieve all our physical and mental goals.

Inspiring, TnougfiU by Randy Minter OF FIRE AND FUNERAL PYRES Preparing the dead for memorialization by using fire is an age-old tradition. In the cradle of civilization, the ancient Babylonians were among the first to ritualize their cremation ceremony by wrapping the bodies of deceased loved ones in a combustible material and then encasing them in clay. This clay coffin was then placed on a funeral pyre that was set ablaze. Similarly, the people of ancient India also utilized a funeral pyre, which they referred to as the “Sacred Flame.” A considerable amount of artistry was lavished upon the urns in which their loved ones’ cremated remains were memorialized. It is notable that the world “funeral is derived from a Sanskrit word of northern India that means “smoke.” Should the decision to cremate be an option, we can assist you at MOSER FUNERAL HOME. We offer a wide range of options for those who have specific request for the commemoration of a passing. Whether you choose a traditional venue, or a more unique manner of honoring the deceased, we will be there to accommodate your wishes. Our facilities include an on-site crematory. Contact us whenever you need our assistance, at (540) 347-3431. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting when we will answer all of your questions. You are invited to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We have been serving your community with compassion for many years.

Ben Jones and Bill Harris, Rappahannock residents who are famous far beyond our county, are teaming up to provide the grand finale of the spring season at the Theatre at Washington. Ben will provide the vocals, Bill will play the piano, and they will be joined for this concert by David Jemigan on bass. The date for the concert by the Rappahannock Jazz Ensemble, as the group is called, is Saturday, May 26 and the time 8 p.m. Ben has appeared hundreds of times on stage, TV and in film but he is perhaps best known as “Cooter” from his role in the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard.

Jazz pianist Bill Harris has an outstanding reputation in the Washington, D.C. area. This will be first time he has played at the Theatre here in “Little” Washington. He will be joined by his long-time colleague, bassist David Jemigan, who will also be appearing at the Theatre for the first time.

One thing that makes the East Coast USA Pageant different than some of the other pageant systems is the opportunities that are created at their national event. Some former contestants have signed with New York’s major talent agencies from the contacts they made at the national pageant while others have been cast in national commercials and shows. Caitlin hopes that her pageant experience will lead to scholarships for college and medical school. Caitlin will join others along the east coast from North Carolina to New England at the East Coast USA National Finals August 10 - 12 in East Brunswick New Jersey. v Religious Notes Amissville Baptist Church has started a new study program entitled “Answers in Genesis” on Sundays at 9:15 a. m.

Horsin’ around and Hokie Spirit ride Howard Clark won a motorcycle and with it a chance to change the world. At least, that’s how he sees it! I won this motorcycle and I believe I should put it to good use! he told me. And so he is. Clark and Del Clarambeau have organized the Hokie Spirit Memorial Ride. The Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund was established to aid victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy and their families. The fund helps with expenses for gnef counseling, communications expenses, comfnrt expenses and incidental needs. But it’s major purpose is to raise funds for a memorial to the victims at Virginia Tech. Howard was in San Juan, Puerto Rico when he heard the news about the shootings. Maybe it hit him harder because he was so far from home. Whatever the reason, he knew immediately that he needed to help. And when he heard about the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund he knew he could put that together with his motorcycle and do some good! The ride will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3. Registration begins at 6 a.m. at Rappahannock County High School. The ride leaves from there at 8 a.m. sharp. There is a $20 donation per bike. But Howard emphasized that you don’t need to have a motorcycle. Anyone is welcome to stop by and make a donation! Or you can call Howard or Del directly. Howard can be reached on his cell phone at 540-219-0292 or at home at 540-987-9203. Del Clarambeau can be reached at 540-987-8503. Amiss ville Julie Emery 937-2315 Julie® JulieEmery.com Cinnamon Ridge This past Saturday I happened to stumble across an event right down the road on South Poes. Cinnamon Ridge Farm just recently hung out their shiny new sign and already they’re hosting events. The first event in their 2007 show series was held this past Saturday, May 19. It’s the first of six shows. The other dates are June 16, July 14, August 11, September 8 and October 6. These are VHSA and BHSA Associate Member Shows. The event began at 8:30 am. with 47 different classes. It was a gorgeous day for the event and I was glad I’d stopped by to watch the fun. There was even food available for purchase from Hog Wild BBQ. If you’re a local horse lover you might want to stop by some sunny day and epjoy one of these events. I met Sophie Hailey from Warrenton and her horse, Splashy Affair. Sophie and Splashy won the championship ribbon in the Pre-short Stirrup Equitation event. They were there riding with Picturesque Farm from Warrenton which fielded a large number of competitors. For information about upcoming events at Cinnamon Ridge, you can contact Kathi Jennings at 540-937-6535 or at 703-282-8727. Washington Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 jclatterbuck@ tffnespapers.com Longhorns in Washington? The Texas longhorn is a hybrid breed resulting from a random mixing of Spanish retinto (criollo) stock and English cattle that Anglo-American frontiersmen brought to Texas from southern and Midwestern states in the 1820s and 1830s Longhorns have incredibly long productive life spans. Many live past 20 years of age with some living past age 25 or 30. Praised for their elaborate horn measurements, Washington resident Roger Andrews likes his because they make good pets. Andrews started raising the Longhorns in 1998. He bought them locally from Ben Gravette of Warrenton. As far as he knows Mr. Gravette is still in business. Tbday, Andrews has three babies left. The Texas Longhorns come in a variety of colors and patterns. You’D find brown, black, white, yellow, red, speckles, patches, and solids. Except perhaps for the solid ones, no two Longhorns look alike. Andrews said, “ the best thing is waiting to see what color the babies turn out to be.” Some ranchers keep Longhorns for their easy calving. A Longhorn cow will often go off on her own to a safe place to have the calf then bring it home. They are also known to hide their calves in safe places to avoid predation. Most breeds of cattle fall into either beef or dairy. The Texas longhorn is more of a beef animal and is known for its lean beef which is lower in fat and overall calories than most beef Andrews said that his three cattle would never go to the slaughter, but will live there on his place rent free. They are quiet animals. They would rather eat from the trees than grass. The Longhorns would be in the field minding their own business and cars would go by and stop to watch them. However, they continue to represent the romance of the Old West and for Roger Andrews, his Longhorns retained for their beauty and attract the tourist that drive by in their cars. Andrews noted that these Longhorns never attempt to leave. “They have it made cm this place.” Birthday wishes Birthday wishes go out to a Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck CONTENT: Red and Bull are enjoying their day grazing in the field of Roger Andrews on Grand View Road. special lady, Thelma Jenkins from Sperryville.

How can we preserve Rappahannock County and increase revenue? How can we preserve our rural community, increase our business base and income without increasing real estate taxes? How can we avoid having Route 211 become an unbridled strip of commercial development? We urge all community leaders (supervisors, planning commission, BZA members) and all interested citizens to participate in the Living Towns workshop to learn from and connect with neighboring rural communities that have attempted to meet this challenge. We are very fortunate to have keynote speaker Joel Garreau, journalist and author, who is editor in charge of “cultural revolution” reporting at the Washington Post and senior fellow at the School of Public Policy at George Mason University. The Garreau Group, of which he is principal, is committed to understanding who we are, how we got that way and where we’re headed, worldwide. Don’t miss this opportunity to listen to and learn national Sperryvilue Barbara Adoffi adolfibarbara@ verizon.net (540) 987-8682 and local experts. To register call Sue Hromyak at (540) 829-7450. Space is limited. The Living Towns workshop is slated for May 31. VFW Memorial Dedication set This memorial is dedicated to all veterans who have honorably served their country. When my neighbor’s son was killed while sleeping in the barracks of Beirut, I remember being filled with rage and sadness at what seemed a senseless loss of a wonderful young man. During the memorial service the priest at St Anthony’s in Falls Church reminded all of us that this young man’s intention to serve with honor must never be demeaned or forgotten when we question, “Why?” We can all honor that intention to give service to one’s country, no matter what our individual political views. Come join VFW Post Memorial Dedication on Monday, May 28, at 9:30 a.m. The program will include: Honor Guard presentation of colors; welcoming by Post Commander Lee Hitt; Invocation by Post Chaplain Wayland; a poem by Aline Johnson; “Thank you kind soldier” sung by Bob Chappell and Brian Taylor; guest speaker Reginald Gray Armistead, NSN, Ret.; laying of the wreath; taps by Burt Brown and Heidi Rechin, RCHS; closing remarks and retirement of colors. Please join us for this first annual memorial service! Mt. Vernon Farm to host Stock Dog Trial The public is welcome to a unique event that is coming to Sperryville on Memorial Day weekend on both Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. until about 5 p.m. Cliff Miller and Mt. Vernon Farm are hosting the first Sperryville Stock Dog Trial. This event features Border Collies doing what they were bred to do - herd sheep. The Border Collie has been herding sheep on the hills of Scotland and England for a very long time. It is the most efficient way for a shepherd to gather and move a flock of sheep. The history of sheep dog trials goes back over 100 years. Handlers use voice and whistle commands to work with the dogs to move a small packet of sheep around an obstacle course. The course is intended to test dogs with work they would be expected to do on. a working sheep farm. The dogs will gather the sheep, drive them away from the handler and, depending on the class, move the sheep across the field, and put the sheep in a pen. The most experienced dogs must separate one sheep from the pack. Photo by Ray Boc ALL SMILES: Children at Baby Bear Preschool in Sperryville helped make cookies and brownies for the carnival.
