Error in application forces Fletcher to withdraw proposal Miller Farm owner plans to reapply in January By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writar A controversial proposal to use a historic mansion in the F.T. Valley as a conference center has been put on the back burner. Bill Fletcher withdrew his application for a special-exception permit for the Miller Farm on Wednesday Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said Fletcher’s application had identified the 800-acre property as being in the Stonewall-Hawthome District, but it is actually located in the Piedmont District. The mix-up does not change anything about Fletcher's desire to use the 8,000-square-foot Miller House as a bed and breakfast and events venue. But the mistake mafa his application, an be wffl have to reapply with a corrected proposal. McCarthy said Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noticed the error Wednesday morning while the two of them were reviewing Fletcher’s application. The county administrator took the Maine for the mistake The district lines change every 10 yebrs to keep each of the county’s five districts with roughly equal populations. The Miller Farm was historically in the Stonewall-Hawthome District, but the Piedmont District’s borders were changed in 2000 to indude everything west of F.X Valley Road (Route 231). Fall back Rappahannock News P.O. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) On Oct. 17, the County Planning Commission recommended approval for Fletcher’s conference center. He will have to go before the planners again with a new application before his proposal can be considered by the Board of Supervisors. The planning commission is not scheduled to meet in November and Fletcher said he will not be available for the commission’s Dec. 19 meeting, so he is planning to go before the commission on Jan. 16. If that schedule holds, the supervisors will address his application on Feb. 4. The supervisors were scheduled to make a decision about Fletcher’s application Monday evening. They had anticipated such a large audience for the meeting that its location was changed from the County Courthouse to the auditorium at Rappahannock County High School. Now that Fletcher has withdrawn his proposal, McCarthy said the board’s evening meeting has been moved back to the courthouse. Roger and Sophie Scruton, the owners of Montpelier, are scheduled to go before the supervisors on Monday with a conference center application of their own. Montpelier is located across F.T. Valley Road from the Miller Farm, and is therefore in the StonewallHawthome District. The planning commission recommended approval for the Scrutons’ conference center in September. McCarthy said the Scrutons are free to proceed with their application, but he has asked them to table their proposal so the supervisors can consider permits for both conference centers at the same time. “It’s the same application in the public’s mind, it’s the same use, and they’ll affect each other,” McCarthy r said. If the Scrutons decide to table their application, the supervisors’ will not meet Monday evening. The proposals Reactions to Fletcher’s and the Scrutons’ applications have been mixed, drawing both criticism and applause from county residents. Some residents fear traffic, artificial lighting and noise associated with the venues will damage the quiet, scenic character of the area. “A second conference center on the Miller property permitted on the same terms as Montpelier will unalterably change the nature of this stretch of one of Virginia’s most scenic byways and must not be approved,” wrote nearby property owners Clare Lindsay, David Kennell and Joseph Svates in a letter to McCarthy, the supervisors and the planning commissioners. “We can hear a cow on Mr. Fletcher’s property. The sound carries there with incredible magnification,” said Anne Gray, who lives on Briar Ridge Lane on a mountain overlooking the Miller Farm. “There would be nothing happening outside the house that we wouldn’t be able to hear.” Other residents have commended both the Scrutons and Fletcher for renovating two of Rappahannock’s most historic homes and working to keep their large properties intact and undeveloped. Both landowners have said they want to open events venues only to earn money for maintenance and further renovations on their historic properties. “I don’t believe that it’s fair for fellow citizens to expect Mr. Fletcher to sit on his land and pay taxes, and in effect take a loss on his land every year,” said James Botsford, who lives in Hampton V’ Hawthorne districts. An application to use the Miller Home as a conference center was withdrawn Wednesday because it falsely identified the property as being located in the Stonewall-Hawthome District. t L J 1 Rappahannock Nam Staff Graphe/StCM* ttfftaat District. “It broadens the tax base without placing an unnecessary draw on county services,” said Hodge Miller; who also lives in Hampton District. Further outcry has come from the planning commission’s decision to recommend a more lenient set of limitations for the Miller Farm than for Montpelier. The Scrutons met with their neighbors and agreed on a set of conditions for use of their property as a conference center. The planners received their proposed conditions and approved them without any opposition. Those conditions included a limit of 12 outdoor events per year, with no more than two per month from May through October. Four of those events may have up to 300 guests and the remaining eight must have no more than 200 guests. Another condition of the Scrutons’ application is they will not be allowed to hire a firm to manage events on the property. Fletcher drove a harder bargain with the planning commissioners and the planners gave him more leeway. He also said he plans to lease the property to a company that will manage the events and bed and breakfast. The commission recommended that Fletcher should be allowed 24 events per year with up to 300 guests and an unlimited number of events with up to 50 guests. Part of the commissioners’ rationale for the difference was the Miller Farm is much larger than the 175-acre Montpelier property, and therefore should be allowed more events. The planning commission was criticized harshly on Oct. 17 for their treatment of Fletcher’s application. “Three people up there were nothing but mouthpieces for the applicant," Stephen Komblatt, a neighboring property owner, said of the commissioners. “I think you should be embarrassed by that," he told them after their Oct. 17 meeting. “If you’re going to serve on this commission, you need to ask real questions of the applicant and not be a mouthpiece or advocate." Alan Zuschlag, who lives in Amissville, agreed with Komblatt. He told the commissioners he was disappointed and said they acted like advocates for Fletcher. The commissioners will likely have to weather a similar show of disapproval if Fletcher reapplies in January.

Kaine urged localities to update water conservation and drought contingency ordinances and plans and begin preparations to implement those plans. The Governor also encouraged citizens and businesses to strictly follow all calls for water conservation issued by public waterworks or local governments. In areas where local water conservation requirements have not been initiated, citizens and businesses should voluntarily conserve water to the greatest extent possible. This includes minimizing non-essential outdoor water uses such as irrigation and vehicle washing as well as reductions in indoor water uses. “Assure that there are no water leaks in your home; limit showers to periods of less than 5 minutes; turn off the water when you brush your teeth; and only operate dishwashers and clothes washers with full loads,” Governor Kaine said. “These simple actions when perforated by millions of citizens throughout the Commonwealth can result in a significant reduction in the stresses placed on our water resources.” The entire Commonwealth is currently experiencing significant drought, which intensified in the six weeks preceding last week’s welcomed wide-spread rainfall. While last week’s rain addressed many short term drought impacts, the underlying long term precipitation deficit remains. Rappahannock goes commercial? Would you want to live next to a convention/conference center that includes a commercial game preserve and will host 24 outdoor events annually with a^ many as 300 people dancing to music until 10 p.m. and promotes shooting 24/7 (yes, including Sundays) from September 1 through April 30 18 months)? That is what Bill Fletcher's neighbors on Rt. 231 in the F. T. Valley may get if his application for a special use permit is approved. I quote a portion of section 170-52A, article VI of the Rappahannock County Ordinance that addresses special use permits “the proposed use shall be such that it will not adversely affect the use or development of neighboring properties. . .that the use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and/or use of adjacent or nearby land and/ or buildings or impair the value thereof’. Bill’s proposal violates all of these prohibitions. There is already a similar special use permit application pending directly across Rt. 231 from Bill’s property. How many convention/conference centers does the County need at that location? If these commercial uses are granted, will they set the precedent for more, perhaps even more dense and troubling, uses m the future? I fully support the right of landowners and their guests to hunt on landowner property subject to the regulations ol the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. However, there is a big difference between that kind of hunting which lasts less than two months and has no hunting on Sundays, and a feebased commercial hunting operation with a hunting season that allows hunting seven days a week for eight months of the year with no limit on the number of hunters. Does the County differentiate between the two? Will a commercial hunting operation pose a safety hazard to those on adjoining properties? Won’t the noise from the gunshots and music spoil the tranquility of the area and violate the County’s noise regulations? Bill’s proposal will create increased traffic on two lane Rt. 231, especially if he sponsors Civil War re-enactments that will be attended by thousands. What about traffic congestion and traffic safety issues? Those members of the Planning Commission who were most in favor of Bill’s proposal and other supporters do not live in the StonewallHawthome district. I wonder how they would react if I proposed a sewage treatment facility in their backyards? Furthermore, A1 Henry is a close friend and business associate of Bill’s-he should have recused himself Does the Planning Commission not have ethical guidelines? Most of Rappahannock County’s residents believe that the county is unique, especially in light of the urban sprawl and commercialization that surrounds it in Northern Virginia and other surrounding counties, and that the county’s natural beauty commands respect. This attitude is amply reflected in the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The essence of the County is rural agricultural and associated activities, not commercialization and development. Change seldom comes over night. Allowing this special use will encourage others. The future of our County is at stake. Stuart Fletcher Trope Richmond t . 2 ^ & ^tertfr candidates “Pin the star on the next Sheriff” Letters No harm in a sharp mind Imputing J.C. Welch. He came to my door and introduced himself I experienced meeting a crystal dear, mature, well prepared young man (though not as young as he looks). J.C. Welch is also an excellent communicator and an equally skillfill listener. The job of sheriff is something he has been dreaming of and preparing fear and his history shows this is the track he has been taking towards a leadership role. He embodies and wishes to support others in a healthy relationship with our law enforcement department. J.C. Welch offers something our county will benefit from in its law enforcement leadership: transparency, directness, and openness. And there is no harm in having a sharp mind that ran wrap itself around statistics and make use of them for the good. the pleasure today of Barbara Heile Washington Vote for Connie C. Smith We first came to know Lieutenant Connie Compton Smith as result of a break-in at our home. She did an excellent job and the man was brought to justice. We couldn’t figure out how he got in a locked house without breaking a window; she showed us how easy it was which resulted in our making our home more secure. We later came to know ho* cm a personal basis through the Fine Department. She has been a volunteer at the Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department for some time. Importantly, she’s intimately acquainted with the 911 system not only from the vantage point of the Fire Department but the Sheriff’s Office as well She knows the things that need to be upgraded to make us all safer. The kids in this county LOVE Lieutenant Smith. She’s a great representative of the Sheriffs Department to the kids in this County, not only do they respect her but consider her a friend. lieutenant Connie C. Smith volunteers her time to coach softball at Rappahannock County High School. She comes alongside the kids and in this day and age that’s extremely impor tant...they have a friend they can talk to. Fm a native of Washington, D.C. and I can tell you this for sure, Lieutenant Smith has street smarts. She is no-nonsense, and she gets the job done. You may not have seen her at your door campaigning because she is busy tending to business on our behalf so Fm asking you to vote for Connie. She’ll get the job done for us and for our kids. Marlene Dickey AmissviDe Support Chris Williams for sheriff I recently accompanied my brother, Major Chris Williams of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department, during an afternoon of campaigning. The time we shared together, even though only a few hours, was incredibly memorable. I was along to support him as well as to take advantage of the opportunity to hopefully see some of my old friends that I had not seen for many years. One of our first stops was the elementary school to leave some papers that my nephew, Andrew, needed. As we entered the office for our visitor’s pass, my mind was flooded by so many memories of my childhood. We proceeded to walk the halls looking for Andrew’s classroom while reminiscing of years we spent in this very place. We found ourselves recognizing classrooms and remembering the teachers that were ii each room, remembering book fairs held in the library, and recess time walking up tha huge hill to the ball fields and playground. Somehow those halls seemed much smaller today and that hill just wasn’t as steep as I remembered. Suddenly it all came back to me— this little boy that I took with me several tames on the last day of school, proudly wearing his pretend sheriff vast, badge, and cowboy hat, sitting in a chair beside my desk coloring pictures the teachers had given him. I even remember all the girls commenting an how cute he was as I watched over him as any proud big sister would. Then I realized that this httle boy dreaming to be a Sheriff was standing next to me as a handsome man hoping to became the next Sheriff of the community that he has lived in all his life. It was surreal As though the last 304years had turned into the future in just a matter of what seemed like seconds. At i that moment, I realized without a doubt, that law enforcement was a dream- turned t -reality for my brother lies, I felt very proud, especially that day, knowing that something so important to him for so long had actually become a reality. As we found Andrew’s classroom and gave his papers to him, I wondered if this cute little boy may some day follow in his father’s footsteps. We left the school and I was happy that I did see some familiar faces that I had not seen since my school days. We visited with several people the ^ nst of the afternoon. These folks were very welcoming, and they discussed a lot of issues with my brother. It was humbling to hear and see his discussions and witness his enthusiasm, positive attitude, and commitment to his career and the community. Again, I was very proud. I ask the voters of Rappahannock County to support my brother. Major Chris Williams, on November 6. I KNOW he is the best candidate for this position. My brother is a hard working, devoted, and trustworthy man that will make us ALL proud as the next Sheriff of Rappahannock County Donna Williams Murphy Front Royal Look to Connie Compton Smith s a lifelong resident and forx\mer dispatcher for Rappahannock County I, have had the pleasure of knowing all three candidates for sheriff While all three candidates are very well qualified to hold the position of sheriff only one can be elected. As a former dispatcher I had worked with Connie Compton Smith and Chris Williams. While I have not worked with J.C. Welch I have known him since he was a child. The one thing that has impressed me the most about this election is that I have not heard any negative comments or mud slinging from any of the candidates. For this I commend each of you. As, I feel Rappahannock County is in need of a change I will be supporting Connie Compton Smith in this year's election. I know Connie is a caring and a compassionate person and will carry this on to the citizens of Rappahannock County and her employees if elected sheriff I know she will treat everyone fair and equal. As I had worked with Connie, each shift was always exciting as she was always showing enthusiasm and desire to learn - whether she was on the radio as a dispatcher or on the road as a deputy As Rappahannock County’s first female road deputy she has always taken her job seriously, never letting her guard down no matter what she encountered. She was never afraid to ask questions or voice her opinion when it came to the sheriffs office or the quality, today as she did almost 20 years ago when she first started at the sheriff’s office. 1 believe Connie Compton Smith will make a change for the better of all Rappahannock County citizens and the employees of the sheriff’s office. On November 6,1 will cast my vote for Connie Compton Smith in hopes that she will be elected as Rappahannock County’s 1st woman sheriff Connie Huff-Harris Flint Hill Williams for sheriff e are going to be electing a Vf new sheriff of Rappahannock County on November 6. This is not a job to be taken lightly, we need a true leader that can effectively assume the many responsibilities of this office. I have had the opportunity to know and work with Mr. Chns Williams on various issues for many years and truly feel he is a candidate well qualified and worthy of representing and moving our county forward as sheriff Chris has been with the Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office for the past 19 years and has been the Chief Deputy (second in command of all divisions) for the past nine years. He has thorough knowledge of law enforcement, has completed advanced training which includes graduating from the National Criminal Justice Command College in 2006, and has performed the many administrative duties of the sheriffs office. His goals contm ue to be making our community a safer place to live and raise our children. I feel Chris is a well qualified candidate for sheriff and has proven his dedication and commitment to our county Please join me in support of Chris Williams for Sheriff of Rappahannock County on November 6. Ben Atkins Chester Gap Support Williams on Nov. 6 I would like to take this opportunity to ask the voters of Rappahannock County to support Major Chris Williams for sheriff on November 6. As Sheriff of Warren County for 28 years, I had the privilege of working with Major Williams both personally and professionally. He has always been committed to his community as well as his family. His leadership abilities, his integrity, and his dedication has proven to me that he is the right choice to be the next sheriff of Rappahannock County. Knowing Chris Williams for many years, 1 know that his goal in life was to serve his community in law enloreemeat. I was excited for him when he joined the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department some 19 years ago. Being the sheriff in the neighboring county; me and my staff have had the opportunity to work with Chris on joint cases and I am us with respect and professionalism. When he was appointed Major, l knew mat me Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office also saw that he was a true professional and a proven leader. Again, I am proud to have known Major Williams and his family for many years and encourage the voters of Rappahannock County to support him on November 6. Lynn Armentrout Retired Sheriff of Warren County, Va 1975-2003 Writing well done T^evin Alien and The X\Rappahannock News deserve the highest compliments for coverage and reporting of the Rappahannock County Planning Commission meeting on Oct. 17 The article which appeared in the Oct. 25 issue was an unbiased and accurate presentation of the pertinent facts, delivered without sensatknalism. It was complete coverage of a long and difficult meeting. Again, you are to be complimented on the journalistic excellence and high standard of professionalism exhibited by the article. Thomas F.Tepper Cadkteo Support J.C. Welch for sheriff am writing in support of JJ.C. Welch for sheriff of Rappahannock County. 1 was impressed with his experience and education in the held of Law Enforcement After living in Rappahannock County for over 65 years, I would like to say that this is the worst I record of any sheriff in the area of patrolling and radar check locations. Each time I drive through the county I thought about it. It is good for the criminals and speeders, not for the residents. He is friendly and outgoing. Join me and vote for J.C. Welch for sheriff Paul F. Butler

Vote Roles for state senate Among the offices the citizens of Rappahannock will be asked to cast a ballot for on Nov. 6 is State Senator for tire 26th District. With all the attention on local county races, it has been easy to forget that our representatives in Richmond are up for election as well. The best choice for State Senator is Democrat Maxine Roles of Luray. She will bring a welcome change from the status quo in the state capital, where the needs and challenges of small communities tifcp ours are often overlooked. Maxine Roles will also be straight and fair with her constituents, something our present representatives can’t exactly claim. A fine example of this is the Civil Remedial Fees die incumbent General Assembly tacked on to the latest Transportation Funding Bill. This ig the law that slapped additional fines of up to $3,000 on top of the current penalties already imposed on those convicted of reckless driving and other infractions, with the additional moneys going to fund badly needed road construction. At first glance, this all seems well and good, but consider this: these fines will be slapped against Virginia citizens only. Thurists from New York, New England, or even Maryland, heading south down 1-95 to play golf in Myrtle Beach, or spend a week in Disneyland, will get a free pass; the only people who will be expected to dig deep in their pockets are those who live and work in the Old Dominion. What is it about “equal protection under the law” that our current representatives don’t understand? Truth is, these so-called “fines” are nothing more than a ill disguised tax increase, foisted on us by cowardly lawmakers in Richmond; a tax increase whose burden falls the hardest on working Virginians, men and women who depend on an automobile to earn a living. And what about the dubious logic of making highway funding dependent on high rates of vehicular crime; shame on the people in Richmond, both Democrats and Republicans, who bought into this nonsense. If it is one thing we do not need, is to have our Sheriff's deputies and State Police officers become revenue agents for the Commonwealth. There is one sure way to set things right again, vote for Maxine Roles for State Senate on Nov. 6. She is the one candidate on the ballot who is committed to repealing this stupidity, restoring justice, and untangling law enforcement from road construction. Fred Schaefer. SDerrwille Stay with Mills The school board election in Jackson District is much more than a choice between new ideas and the status quo. Wes Mills has served the citizens of Jackson District ably for many years and he is actively engaged in considering how our school system can continue to improve during this period of declining enrollment. Wes Mills’ fictions on the board have been based on thoughtful consideration of the issues at hand, always keeping in mind his real constituency - the children of Rappahannock. During his tenure on the school board, the school system has fully embraced the Cambridge Program of advanced studies, continued the excellent AP program, and welcomed and encouraged the Next Step Program - fostering first generation college attendance among our students. The schools have both consistently maintained accreditation and the sports programs have expanded immensely. Our school system is being attacked by people with one agenda - lower taxes. At this challenging time it would be unfortunate to lose a person of immense experience and strong personal integrity who has a clear vision of what our schools can he. I’ll vote for Wes Mills next Tuesday. Kathryn Treanor Amissville mmm mm Am* ExOmtm * Gjummmt; • Gri't Gins .WD ITEMS THAI HELP TO MAKE EVERYDAY LIFE A LITTLE EASIER AND...

Fletcher’s proposal threatens Rappahannock way of life 'want everyone to know this is .Lnot about a family feud, but about what is rigbt for Rappahannock County. I sincerely believe Bill Fletcher's request for a Special Exception Permit will be the beginning of the demise of Rappahannock County and what it’s all about. There is such controversy about this permit use that the adjacent landowners are the ones that really should be heard. I believe the noise from the shooting on F.T. Valley will do nothing to enhance the coun ty*s tranquility. The “By Right Law” should be amended by th< Board of Supervisors before eveiyone in Rappahannock wants a shooting club. I also think what would be really fair to everyone in the county is for Bill to put the shooting club at his home, Thornton Hill, which is not a scenic byway or a valley with State Licensed * Insured • Est.1971 Lignum, Fauquier & Culpeper Counties Since Plan Ahead For the Holidays!

Sat. 10am - 3 pm mwmmmmmmsmm w echoes. The people who don’t object to the shooting club who have adjacent properties to Thornton Hill, or live in other parts of the county, I am sure wouldn’t mind living next to the club and hearing the gun fire, sim up to sun down seven days a week. There are many questions that should be asked about Bill’s Shooting Club that have not been asked,such as, How many days a week will the members shoot? How many people will be in the club? What hours are they going to shoot? and how much will it cost to be a member? These are just a few of many questions that need to be answered. With all the concerns of the adjacent landowners, which include the devaluation of their properties,we need to think what the ramifications will be. If Bill Fletcher’s request is approved, it will set a precedent for more shooting dubs or other undesirable uses in the county. For these reasons, this Special Use Permit should be denied or at a minimum, be tabled for at least six months so everyone can really understand the impact this will have on the entire county. Is this going to be a “shooting dub” or a “shooting preserve”? These are two entirely different clubs. Because of the many concerns people have concerning this issue, I feel that the Board of Supervisors meeting scheduled for Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. should be changed to start at 5 p.m. I would also hope that the Board of Supervisors meeting will be handled more professionally than the Planning Commission’s meeting was. Cathy Fletcher Littleton Hague,Va. Architectural board approves two new fences By Matt Pelkey Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Gay Street Inn, a bed and breakfast on Gay Street in Washington, received approval from the town architectural review board to erect a fence on its property bordering the Washington Baptist Church. “The church property rolls to the inn,” Gay Street Inn coowner Kevin Adams told the board at its Oct. Tl meeting when petitioning for the fence. According to Adams' application, the fence will stand two and a half feet tall, with wooden pickets sitting on top of a stone base. Adams also got the nod to put up a sign marking His studio across the street from the Gay Street Inn. It will be approximately two and a half feet tall and extend twenty inches toward the street The review board also approved a new fence to go up at 577 Main Street in Washington. Howie Swaim, owner of the property, said at the board’s meeting that he wants the fence to help keep his new dog away from tiie street. According to his application, the fence will span a now-open area between his house and his garage. It will be set back from Main Street and will mimic the design of a nearby fence. The fence will be seven feet tall and 20 feet long. Old-fashioned hygiene urged to combat Staph By Matt Pelkey Rappahannock News Staff Writer Officials from the Virginia Department of Health recommended old-fashioned hygiene to prevent staph infections last Monday night, speaking to an audience of about a dozen at an information session at Rappahannock County High School. Dr. David Compton, the health director for the Rappahannock: Rapidan district, briefed the smaller-th an-expected crowd of parents, school employees and journalists on the history of antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria, and ran through ways in which parents and schools can prevent infections. Compton said that thorough hand-washing is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of dangerous staph bacteria, which can live on a person’s skin and not just in an infected wound. And cleaning and properly bandaging staph infected wounds minimizes the risk of spreading the bacteria to others, he said. Compton said that children with bandaged staph infections can attend school without posing a risk to others, though participation in contact sports, in which a bandage is likely to fell off and cuts are a common occurrence, should be restricted. Rappahannock public schools do not limit a student’s participation in activities such as contact sports unless requested to do so by a doctor. At least two of the four students diagnosed with methicillin-resistant staph infections in October played on the high school football team. In a continuing effort to sanitize facilities, the schools fogged buildings last Friday after classes using a disinfectant designed to kill staph. Rappahannock County High School has hand sanitizers at the entrance to the cafeteria and staff and students at both schools are reminded to wash their hands. On Oct. 24, Governor Kaine approved an emergency regulation requiring health labs to report confirmed cases of methidllin-resistant staph to the Virginia Department of Health. April Achter, an epidemiologist with the Virginia Department of Health, said at the information session last Monday that she frequently bears of staph cases from parents and schools before she bears of them from laboratories. The department is also asking schools to report clusters of three or more methidllin-resistant staph cases, as they might indicate a common infection source. Achter said the the four cases of staph infection in Rappahannock schools this October most likely were not caused by a single source, as they occurred over a relatively long period of time.

November 1,2007 vmw.rappnews.com Photo by Richard Lykes Accolades for Putnam There may be some in the know but many who don’t know that one of Rappahannock’s resident sculptors was instrumental in the building of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. That would be Flint Hill’s Nol Putnam. -.. This year is the 100th anniversary of the laying of the comer stone for the Washington National Cathedral. Many festivities are planned throughout the year. The first one and going for the whole year is a show entitled “Builders of the National Cathedral” showing pictures, examples, quotes, progress, artifacts.

Hie concert is presented by the Theatre at Washington, Virginia and is the second of two performances by the OrkisHardy Duo covering Beethoven’s Complete Sonatas and Variations for Piano and Cello. The first concert was held earlier this spring at the Theatre. Lambert Orkis writes, “For our second and last concert of the cycle of works for Piano and Cello by Ludwig van Beethoven, the Orkis-Hardy Duo will present masterpieces from the great composer’s earliest and most mature repertoire. The program will include some of the master's most profound and moving utterances as well as works of youthful exuberance and utter joy. It is music of timeless beauty for any audience.” The concert starts out with Beethoven’s 12 variations on “See the conqu’ring hero comes” from Handel’s Oratorio “Judas Maccabaeus”, in G Major for Piano and Cello. This will be followed by the Sonata for Piano arid Cello in g minor. After the intermission, the Duo wifi play the Sonata for Piano and Cello in C Major, and the program will conclude with the Sonata for Piano and Cello in D Major. The Kennedy Center Chamber flayers, of which Orkis and Hardy are founding members, was begun in 2003 and comprises the principal players of the string and keyboard sections of the National Symphony Orchestra. Lambert Orkis has received international acclaim as a chamber musician. He has appeared in recital with violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter since 1988 and with cellist Mstislav Rostropovich since 1983. With AnneSophie Mutter he has frequently Orkis-Hardy Duo recorded for Deutsche Grammaphon, winning a Grammy Award for “best Chamber Music Performance” for the Beethoven Piano and Violin Sonatas. David Hardy achieved international recognition in 1982 as the top American prize winner at the Seventh International Tchaikovsky Cello Competition in Moscow. He made his solo debut with the National Symphony Orchestra in 1986 with Mstislav Rostropovich conducting. In 1994 he was named Principal Cellist of the NSO by music Director Leonard Slatkin.

Box 322, Washington VA 22747 Come to “Avenue Montaigne” By Claudia Mitchell Special to the Rappahannock News Do you ever want to go to the movies and just sit back and relax? Maybe just spend part of an evening watching a charming, comedy-drama that doesn’t require you to contemplate life’s crushing issues? Are you tired of movies with bomb blasts that rock your seat, car chases that leave you woozy, fist fights that make you flinch, and just general mayhem that leaves you tired? How many blood and guts movies do you have to see? Why not come to the movies Friday night and share an enjoyable 101 minutes just chilling out? Avenue Montaigne is a warm wonderful story which takes place in contemporary Paris. It follows a young ingenue who goes to Paris because she has heard her grandmother tell her for the one hundredth time, stories about her own youthful adventures in Paris. She wants to see it all for herself Admittedly, most of the story is implausible. How can one explain how this young girl from the country gets intimately involved in the lives of a world famous concert pianist, a famous French television/movie star, one of France’s richest men, his rich and handsome son, a famous movie director (played by real life movie director Sydney Pollack) and a myriad of other characters who work on the Avenue Montaigne? By today’s standard of super fast paced, “I can’t keep up with the scenes anymore,” films, this movie slowly opens up and shows us snippets of the lives of its characters. It draws them together around the common denominator, Jessica, played by Cecile De France, whose incredible smile and openness enchants them all. Throw in a little sex and profanity and you get a PG-13 rating. It’s fun to watch Americans trying to speak French (badly) and just as ■ I IWH IMHf •_ much fun to see Frenchmen torturing our language for a change. The movie is subtitled to keep us on track and the subtitles are always on a contrasting background so we can actually read them. Why not come and have a nice relaxing evening? The movies are still $6 and where else can you get popcorn for $2? Hope to see you Friday Nov 2, at 8 p.m. at the Theatre in Little Washington. See for more information.

Her paintings are a reflection of her deep interest in the human spirit and its connection to the perceived world, fainting primarily in acrylics, Phyllis captures the multiple levels of human emotion in her abstract renderings.

Maryland hunt controls local hound ‘performance’ trials By Betsy Parker Rappahannock News Staff Writer The hosting Bull Run Hunt club just missed winning the Masters of Foxhounds Association Virginia foxhound performance trials last week, losing out to Maryland’s ElkridgeHarford by less than 100 points over two days. Held at Bull Rim’s premiere Culpeper County fixture, The Preserve, the two-day hound trial had been postponed from March due to an outbreak an an infectious horse disease this spring. The subsequent quarantine all but shut down horse sports in Virginia for nearly a month. “We finally pulled it off” said Rappahannock Hunt master Oliver Brown. Rappahannock and Bull Run co-hosted the event, which attracted hounds from four mid-Atlantic packs. Dry weather and high temperatures conspired for difficult scenting conditions, Brown said, but Bull Run master Joe Kincheloe said that The Preserve — several thousand acres of undeveloped farmland with vast forested sections — is a superb fixture, “full of foxes.” Day one held full promise for a Bull Run sweep as Bull Run Rascal earned top marks from all five judges for “full cry” and “endurance.” Hounds are also judged for hunting, trailing and marking. A guest huntsman, Tony Leahy, handled the horn for the pack that combined entrants from each of the clubs participating. Rascal’s kennelmate Bull Run Baldric was judged tops for “marking” — first in at the earth when the fox went to ground, giving Bull Run the nod on day one. Day two dawned even warmer than the first hunt, with hounds working hard under Leahy’s guidance but having a difficult time under the arid conditions. They found readily in a small covert just north of the main farm road in The Preserve, with hounds working the line to the farm’s feedlot near Cedar Mountain, but they lost again in the open, and Rappahannock News Staff PhctesBetey Pailw CALL HIM MASTER: Rappahannock Hunt’s Oliver Brown visits with hound trial judge Liz McKnighL judges did not score for mark- ^ ing. Bull Run’s Beezer earned top marks early in the day for his hunting ability (mostly, judges say, for helping “find” the scent, initially). Rappahannocks’ Bishop got top marks for his trailing ability, but Elkridge-Harford’s Resolute was best in full cry (scored for voice and speed) and endurance, giving the northern Maryland dub top placing cm day two. Combined totals from both days found EH up, both as overall hunt winner and for top hound, Resolute. Bull Run Sam was consistent both days to earn second overall, with Rascal flagging under the hot weather on day two to drop all the way down to sixth place overall. Bull Run was second overall, with Deep Run third and Rappahannock fourth. The performance trial closes out a full year of activities surrounding the MFHA’s centennial celebration. Other events induded field hunter trials for horses, jointmeets around the nation for a sort of foxhunting exchange program, and other hound performance trials.

In the years following the Swiss-bom psychiatrist’s death in 2004, researchers have refined Dr. Kiibler-Ross's grieving model. Using data from interviews of more that 200 grieving aAihs who lost a loved one to natural causes, researchers found that gnef begins with disbelief, followed by yearning, anger, depression and acceptance. This modified version of Kiihkr-Ross’s model shows that there is a surprisingly high, and steadily increasing, degree of acceptance throughout the grieving process. Yearning was found to be the most commonly reported psychological response to bereavement, which lasted an average of about six months. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we understand that the gnevmg process is unique to each one who has suffered a loss. We arc here to assist you dumg that most difficult tune. Contact us whenever you need us.

Heartfelt thanks from the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary That indomitable group of women that comprise the Sperryville Fire Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary rounded up six groups of musicians that played from 4-10 p.m. at the fire hall last Saturday. All of you who filled the hall, made donations, and bought supper and raffle tickets, have brought these women closer to achieving their goal of renovating the kitchen. Of course, the musicians who donated their time made this six hours of music and fundraising possible. Thank you! Holiday shopping Each week I will try to highlight the businesses in Spenyville where you can do your holiday shopping.

Correction: I learned a valuable lesson about taking information from my phone mail without double checking. I apologize to Thelma Atkins for incorrectly hearing her message regarding her daughters: Cathy celebrated her birthday on the 24th and Rhonda celebrated her 50th birthday on the 25th. Barbecue by our Assistant Postmistress Ray and I could not resist driving up to the park late Sunday afternoon to enjoy the light and leaves. We stopped to get a barbecue at Beech Spring Farms and were delighted to see the woman we see almost every day at the Post Office, Eileen Barrett, and her husband Gene. Eileen had asked Phyllis Swindler if they could set up one weekend and Phyllis invited them to stay weekends through Veterans Day. So if you have a hankering for a good barbecue, homemade potato salad and cole slaw, stop in, next to that mural of quilts on the truck. While you are at it, take home a jar of their own Bubba’s Backyard Barbecue Sauce for yourself or for a holiday gift basket for a friend. Blind hog goes hungry Last year, when I ventured to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to tiy surf fishing, it was the first week in December. What the locals consoled me with was, “You should have been here in October.” Two weeks ago, when I walked into the bait and tackle shop on that narrow stretch of sand that separates the 25mile wide Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean, I said, “What do I need to do to catch a striper in the surf.” I expected he would sell me this and that, and I would go on my way. Instead, he said, “Come back the end of November, or the first of December.” I have heard it said that only a fool will keep repeating the same actions while expecting a different result. I think I am going to have to modify that somewhat to include my attempts at surf fishing. Or, maybe they are already included. By now, you have probably guessed how the fishing progressed. I fished for three days in the surf. I used finger mullet. Fishermen all around me were using the same, or squid, or cut bait, or bloodworms. In three days, I saw one fish caught. He was a little bluefish about a foot long. On the positive side, the weather was wonderful, the beach was clean, the water reasonably warm for October, we had a couple of great seafood dinners, and the missus had a lot of good books to read, so I could fish all I wanted. All I wanted turned out to be three days, and that was a gracious plenty. The people were nice. Even the non-fishermen would stop and talk and ask how you were doing. One nice couple walked up to me as I was rebaiting my rig. The lady Brady’s Cuw* Hollow Rambunqs Richard Brady 675-3754 richardtoradyl® juno.com said, “How is the wishing going?" (That is not a misprint.) I told her with my straightest face, “Well, when I catch this one that I’m after now, and one more, I’ll have two.” The fellow laughed, and the lady looked at him rather quizzically and said, “What? He’s doing better than anyone else we’ve talked to.” Then, I grinned, and he took her by the arm and they walked off. About ten feet away, she stopped, looked back, and laughed. They were nice folks. Heavenly Blue Now, just for the record, the picture of that beautiful heavenly blue morning glory that was in the paper a couple of weeks ago, wasn’t in just any body’s garden in Flint Hill. That garden belonged to my bride. But, then again, she could make a desert bloom. And, speaking of my bride, as I am writing this, 30 years ago, almost to the hour, my life partner had just completed 17 hours of labor, and presented me with a bouncing baby boy, and life has never been the same since. But, as Martha would say, that’s a good thing. Now, we await the arrival of a grandchild. And life goes on. And it is good. Concert to Benefit Washington O Volunteer fire and Rescue Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue is sponsoring a concert on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Theatre in Washington at &00 pjn. The concert features two performers from our area, local favorites, Rips Walker and Brooke Parkhurst. Their musical talents appeal to a wide range of music lovers. The concert will feature the acoustic hlues and slide guitar of Rips Walker and the crowd-pleasing banjo and award winning vocals of Brooke Parkhurst. Pops Walker, of Luray, has been entertaining fans with acoustic hlues guitar music for over 20 years. He’s performed in various venues around the world. Closer to home, he’s performed at Rappahannock’s Gadino Cellars, Luray’s BB&T Center for the Rrfarming Arts and Massanuttan Mountain Resort. Brooke P&rkhurst moved to Rappahannock several years ago. She has been a caring and involved community member since arriving here, contributing her talents to several fundraisers including RAWL and the Sidney Dodson Fund. Proceeds from the concert will go to a fund to replace Washington Fire Department’s 35 year old tanker. So, what does a new tanker cost? Somewhere in the neighborhood of $425,000. Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue is hoping folks will come out and show their support by joining them for an exciting evening of acoustic blues and Appalachian music. Tickets are $15 at the door, or in advance by calling Washington VoL Fire and Rescue, 675-3615.

Rainwater Runoff 10 ways to conserve and protect rainwater on your property By Beverly Hunter and Mary Katherine Ishee Special to the Rappahannock News Rain benefits us in many different ways. The recent drought reminds us that we rely on rainwater to keep our vegetation green and to help recharge our groundwater, which among other things helps keep our wells from running dry. Heavy rainfall, however, can create stormwater, which can be a destructive force if not properly managed. Unchecked stormwater runoff can tear up our roads and driveways, flood our basements, scour out stream beds, and wash pollutants into streams and drinking water supplies. Changes in land use are the main reason for damage from stormwater, where rain water is prevented from penetrating into the soil. This can be caused by changing the slope of land during construction, creating hard, impervious surfaces such as roads or driveways, or creating bare soil when stripping vegetation away from the land. As a property owner, therefore, it is worth taking the time to consider such changes carefully. The ten suggestions listed are ways you, the landowner, can manage your property so that stormwater runoff works for you, while at the same time saving you money and time in the care of your land. Watch the water during a storm One of the most valuable things you can do up front is also the easiest: make careful observations and notes of what happens on your road and property during and after a rainstorm. Pay close attention to where the ground gets soggy or temporarily ponded; where the water from your roof goes; where the muddy runoff forms; and what happens to the creeks near your house. Use landscaping to your advantage The next important step is to limit runoff. Having rainwater absorbed into the ground provides many benefits. It helps fill your well; it can prevent potentially damaging torrents from racing down your road or driveway; it can keep wetness out of your basement and away from your foundation. It will also hold your lawn and field chemicals where you want them - on the vegetation, and not somewhere down the Thornton River, off to join all kinds of other chemicals in the Chesapeake Bay. Here are several ways to improve your control of runoff from your yard or property: • Avoid having areas of bare soil. Plant grass or other ground covers; put straw or chip mulch over newly-seeded areas; • Mow your grass higher and less frequently, and utilize shrubs, trees and flowers, particularly on hillsides (but not on top of septic drainfields, which must be kept clear of water-loving shrubs or trees). This will save you time and effort, and will help the water soak into the ground. • Arrange for downspouts and for roof runoff to drain into vegetated areas rather than flowing down roads or driveways or into storm drains. Limit impervious surfaces Limit where possible the use of hard, impervious surfaces such as pavement, concrete walkways, solid patios or compacted gravel, which are major contributors to runoff When you have a choke, consider alternative materials such as loose gravel, wood chips or open, porous patterns. Maintain vegetation beside streams Tall grasses, shrubs and trees in the buffer area along a stream may provide many benefits to water quality, fish and wildlife, the stability of stream banks, and groundwater. It can also greatly reduce the severity of floods. Allow as wide a vegetated buffer as you can. An easy way to do this is to stop mowing near a stream or pond. A buffer as wide as 100 feet on each side of the stream is best if you can manage it as studies show this width is necessary to contain Second In a «aH— large volumes of runoff and the pollutants they may carry. Protect areas during new construction Whenever carrying out any new construction, protect bare soil from erosion by using straw or other ground cover, and use silt fences as appropriate. Ensure that you or your contractor maintain best-management practices and adhere to State and County codes. Consider rain gardens In some places, it makes sense to build a “rain garden” to capture stormwater runoff and allow it to percolate into the soil, filtering pollutants from the water. To see this in action, come visit the rain garden constructed in Sperryville by RappFLOW to capture stormwater from the large parking area at the Schoolhouse beside the Thornton River. Harvest rainwater for re-use Thousands of gallons of rain fall on a typical house or bam roof here each year. You can design your landscaping to take advantage of this runoff, or capture the water with rain barrels or storage cisterns to use in gardening or for other purposes. Certain structures may also be appropriate for “green roofs” which are planted with vegetation for both temperature control and to capture runoff. Reduce pollutant runoff Homeowners can help lessen polluted runoff into waterways by: • Storing chemicals in waterproof containers away from rain. ' , j _ | • Keeping pet and animal wastes away from paved surfaces, bare soil, or mowed grass. • Maintaining cars and trucks in good repair to prevent leakage of oil, antifreeze, brake fluids, etc. onto roads and driveways. • Using only as much fertilizer or chemicals on your lawns, fields or gardens as you absolutely must. Pesticides, the nitrogen and phosphorous in fertilizers, and other chemicals are major sources of pollution in streams and rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. Build and maintain private roads and driveways to avoid erosion, pollution, and costs. We have more than 400 miles of private roads and driveways in Rappahannock County. These private roads are a major contributor to stormwater runoff, land and stream bed erosion, and sedimentation and other types of pollution in streams. By properly designing and maintaining your private road or driveway to handle rain runoff you will be repaid many times over in the avoidance of future costs and damage. ideally, road runoff should be discharged uniformly off the road surface, resulting in sheet flow into a grassed or wooded area where it will gradually percolate into the ground without creating channels or causing erosion. If that is not what you are seeing on your road or driveway during a heavy rain,, make notes and correct the problems as soon as possible. Keep the road crowned and graded smoothly. Keep road ditches stable and vegetated. Use the right gravel mix for your situation. Do not allow the runoff to go directly into a stream or pond. Instead, make it spread into a vegetated area which can absorb it and cleanse it of sediments and pollutants. Our local Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District offices offer free, professional advice on the best ways to construct and maintain roads and driveways to handle runoff and protect against damage both to your road* and to downstream areas. Getting help Various free resources are available to the home or property owner interested in better managing stormwater runoff on his or her land.

Dodson qualifies for regionals By Kevin Allen Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County played host to the Bull Run District’s cross-country teams on Oct. 24 as runners from six schools descended on the rolling hills behind the Blue Rock Inn for the annual district meet. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the home team did not seem to have much of an advantage. Neither the boys nor the girls teams qualified for the regional meet. The boys squad finished sixth at the district meet; the girls finished fifth. Only the top four teams from each district move on to regionals. One Panther, however, still has at least one race to run before her season ends. As one of the top 15 finishers at the district meet, Brittani Dodson earned a spot at the Group A, Region B meet, which was Wednesday in Charlottesville. Despite a sore knee, the ninth-grader ran the 5-kilometer course in 22 minutes, 33 seconds. She placed 15th out of 37 runners. This is Dodson’s first year IMT M Ti i ITv ?I li'l Photo by Ann Spieker Jake Rosenbaum was Rappahannock County’s top male runner at the Bull Run District meet. He finished 20th overall with a time of 18:55. running cross country. She also plays basketball and softball. “She has a huge heart, she is a fierce competitor,” Coach Dave Gillis said. “If she sees someone ahead of her, she will pass them.” The top runner for the boys team was Jake Rosenbaum. The senior finished 20th out of 40 runners with a time of 18 minutes, 55 seconds. Senior Will Boelte finished 21st overall, three seconds behind Rosenbaum. Photo by Ann Spieker Brittani Dodson was the Panthers’ top female runner at the district meet. She finished 15th overall with a time of 22:33 and qualified for the Group A, Region B meet, which was Wednesday in Charlottesville. Gillis said the team’s performance at the district meet was a bit disappointing. Based on their other meets with district teams this season, he expected them to finish among the top four teams in the Bull Rim. “We expected to send the girls and boys teams to regionals this year,” he said. Despite the disappointing finish, several Panthers ran personal bests at districts.

Panthers fall to Rams By Matt Pelkey Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock fell 37-7 on Monday to the Strasburg Rams. The defeat came on the heels of a crushing 42-6 loss to George Mason a week and a half earlier. “They dominated all three aspects of the game today,” Rappahannock coach Mike Williams said. Indeed. The Rams’ offense tromped down the field, brushing off tackles and pushing through for break-away runs. The defense shut down the Panthers at the line of scrimmage. And the special teams doled out poor field position with long punts and swarming coverage. Rappahannock couldn’t keep up. Things started badly for the Panthers. On the second play of the game, the Rams intercepted quarterback Jonathan Butler’s pass, putting them within 20 yards of a touchdown. The Rappahannock defense held the Rams at bay, giving up only three yards and forcing a field goal attempt that went wide to the right. But on their next possession, the Rams scored the touchdown the Panthers’ denied them. Butler answered with a 24yard pass to wide receiver Dean Hogan, but meager running gains and unfavorable penalties thwarted the Panthers’ rally. The Rams then thundered down the field, running 21 yards on second down after the punt. They quickly picked up another first down and then ran the ball in from midfield for a touchdown. With the score at 13-0 at the beginning of the second quarter, the Rams picked of! another pass. Tackles by Robert Falls, Hugo Ramirez Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Matt Petkey UNE UP: The Strasburg Rams bullied through the Panthers’ defense on Monday. and Mark Kidwell slowed the Rams’ march, and a fumble returned the ball to Rappahannock’s possession. A seven-yard run by Tim Fitzmorris brought the Panthers within close reach of a first down, but the Rams kept the ball at the line of scrimmage and Rappahannock had to punt. Nearing the end of the first half, a fumble recovery by Fitzmorris set the stage for a 25-yard pass to Dean Hogan. Two penalties killed the Panthers’ momentum and the first half ended without Rappahannock on the scoreboard. The second half began with the Rams tearing down the field with a 20-yard run and a 20-yard pass. Strasburg then ran the ball to Rappahannock’s 10-yard line. A huge sack by the Panthers’ Ramirez pushed the Rams back 10 yards, and they settled for a field goal. The Rams marched down the field to score a touchdown and bring the score to 23-0 in the beginning of the fourth quarter. Another touchdown on a break-away run made it 30-0. The Rams then racked up seven more unanswered points, and with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was 37-0. Picking up an unsuccessful on-side kick, the Panthers gained possession at their 45yard line. Steve Dodson ran the ball for a few years, and Butler scrambled for a few more. Butler then faked another run attempt but pitched the ball to Fitzmorris, who ran it in to Strasburg’s eight-yard line. On first and goal, Fitzmorris ran the ball up the middle and into the end zone, avoiding a shut-out with a score of 37-7. After the game the team huddled up. “Gentlemen, we have a chance to win out the next two games,” coach Williams told the players, They broke the huddle with a shout of “Madison,” their next opponent. E-mail the reporter at mpelkey@timespapers. com. Panther’s Scholastic Bowl looks to promising season By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Just one more correct answer. That was what Rappahannock County High School needed last Monday night against George Mason in the season-opening tournament of the 2007-08 Scholastic Bowl season at Manassas Park. Senior Adam Gann hit the buzzer a split second before Rappahannock County junior captain A.J. Collins, gave the word, “vaccine,” as the right answer and George Mason a 190-180 win. “We lost by 10 points,” Collins said, “but it was more like one milli-second.” Monday night’s match between the Mustangs and the Panthers is the closest the teams played in three seasons. TTie two played each other seven times during the 2006-07 season, with George Mason winning all the matches. The Mustangs went on to capture the Group A state championship last February. But Monday night’s match started a new chapter in the Rappahannock-George Mason log. Rappahannock returns just one starter, Collins, from its team that finished fourth in the state last year. George Mason counters with its lone returning starter, senior captain Peter Davis. “If we can average 220 points like we did Monday night, we’re going to win a lot of matches this season,” Rappahannock County head coach Dave Naser said. “We have new talent that is still developing.” The season opener also marked a major change in the Scholastic Bowl format. All six Bull Run District teams play each other on the same night. In previous years, the Panthers played just three teams. This is also the first year that Madison County has entered a team. “The team did well considering the new format* Naser added. “ It was grueling to play five matches instead of three, but I was pleased. We were highly competitive. If we keep it up the way we are, I predict great things for this season.” Each match consists of 50 questions. A correct answer is worth 10 points. If a player interrupts the reading of the question and his guess is wrong, the team loses five points. The Panthers rolled through their first four matches, defeating Strasburg 22570, Clarke County, 255-80, Manassas Park, 230-70 and Madison County, 240-70. “We were tired at the end,” Collins said, “but no one was mentally exhausted.” In the win over Strasburg, sophomore Brittany Clatterbuck came up with two answers in the opening round as Rappahannock County jumped out to an 85-10 lead. Junior Chase Tupper’s two answers in the final round help to seed the win. Against Madison, the Panthers closed the directed round with six consecutive correct answers from Collins, senior Alana Cloud and juniors Kristin Williams and ' Samantha Schwar. Then, sophomore Joe Vickers started the fined round with a quick answer to extend the lead to 220-30. Said senior Colleen Daly, “We had a lot of people to sub it, so that helped us, and we used eveiyone’s strengths apd. weaknesses. Rappahannock County has one of the largest teams in the district this year with 15 players. Most teams carry just six or eight. The Panthers had to wonder if their match against George Mason was going to be a rerun of previous competitions when they went down, 75-30, in the first toss-up round. But they put on a furious rally to keep pace at 15510 after the directed question round. “During the first round, we were so far behind,” senior Nancy Herbert said, “I thought we were going to be pummeled again.” Senior Alana Cloud’s answer about poet E.E. Cummings to open the last round of toss ups Rappahannock County’s going. Three consecutive rect answers from Collins and a George Mason interruption gave the Panthers a 180-175 lead. “The 25 points that they lost on interruptions throughout the match didn’t help Mason,” Herbert added. The Mustangs went up, 185-180, before being penalized on an interruption. That set the stage for the final question. “Everyone in the room knew what was going on,” Herbert said. “You could see it.” The Panthers host the Bull Run District teams Nov. 5, starting at 5 p.m. cor Clank: wto views.

Betsy Murray has retired. She moved to Rappahannock County in 1973 and worked at the Rappahannock County Farmers Cooperative for nine years. She began her service for Rappahannock County at the Circuit Court Clerks Office in 1983. After three years she moved down die sidewalk to a full time position in the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office, which she called home for the last 21 years. Word on the street is it’s very quiet without her singing and whistling “Rappahannock County will always be dear to my heart and I thank everyone for their wonderful friendship,” said Murray who will be missed by everyone. Sheila Estes weds Thomas Haun Sheila F. Estes and Thomas C. Haun, Jr. were married August 11, at the Wonderful Lighthouse Worship Center in Rixeyville, VA. followed by a reception at the Flint Hill Fire Hall. The double-ring ceremony was performed by Pastor Jack Rutherford of Rixeyville, VA. Pastor Jim WiRianis of Chester Gap, VA and Pastor Eddie Simpson of Spotsylvania County, VA added special readings and prayers. Mrs. WTanda Rutherford and Ms. Ashley Rutherford performed two songs for the couple. Miss Tamara Estes and Miss Lacey Lane dedicated special poems for their parents. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Anna Deavers of Front Royal, VA and the late Terry W. Fritts, Sr. of Front Royal, VA and the granddaughter of Mrs. Jessie Corbin of Culpeper, VA. The groom is the son of Mrs. Martha Ann Haun of Castleton, VA and Mr. Thomas Haun. Sr. of Culpeper, VA. The bride s sister, Mrs. Tammy Ricketts of Washington, VA was Matron of Honor. Miss Tamara Estes was Junior Bridesmaid for her mother and Miss Lacey Lane of Culpeper, VA, daughter of the groom, was the flower girl. Mr. James Haun of Culpeper, VA, brother of the groom, was the best man and Mr. Roger Haun of Orange, VA, brother of the groom, was the usher. The couple will reside in Rappahannock County.

According to their standards, all bulk deliveries of firewood for home heating must be measured in cords, or fractions or multiples of a cord. Section 15.2 of VDACS Regulation 115-04-04 specifies that wood for use as fuel in bulk form shall be advertised, offered for sale and sold only by measure, using the term 'cord' and fractional parts of a cord, or the cubic meter.Virginia law prohibits the use of terms such as face cord, rack, or pile when advertising, offering ter sale, or selling wood tor use as fuel. If the buyer visually inspects a truckload of wood and agrees to a selling price tor that load, the term truckload may be used. A standard pick-up truck usually holds about twothirds of a cord.The Regulation defines a cord as the amount of wood contained in a space of 128 cubic feet with the pieces ranked in rows touching and parallel to each other, stacked compactly. A standard cord measures 8 feet long by 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. The Regulation also requires presentation of a delivery ticket or sales invoice stating Quantity and price upon delivery by the seller to the purchaser Failure to comply with this Regulation is a Class A misdemeanor.The law also requires that the seller present a delivery ticket or sales invoice upon delivery of any nonSSwfilbScKjSiSttonlo the seller's name and address. the ticket must contain the purchaser's name and address, the date of delivery, the quantity delivered, the quantity upon which the price Is based (if It differs from the delivery quantity). and the total price of the amount delivered.
