COM Williams out at sheriff’s office, hired in Warren County By Kevin Allen Rappahannock Nws StaffWritor It hasn’t taken Connie Compton Smith very long to make waves as Rappahannock County’s new sheriff In one of her first acts as the county’s top officer, she chose to give the boot to the sheriff’s office’s second-in-command. Smith said on Jan. 2 that Chris Williams, the office’s chief deputy since 1998, was not reappointed to his position. “I never thought I would lose my job for no reason, but anyone who works for a constitutional officer faces the same unjust actions," Williams wrote in an e-mail to the Rappahannock News. “There are many traits that a good leader must possess, but the two most important things are heart and humility. I hope Connie someday finds them." Williams did not remain unemployed for very long. On Monday, he started a new job as a road deputy for the patrol division of the Warren County Sheriff"s Office. Smith and Williams had worked with each other at the sheriff’s office for nearly 20 years. Last year, they faced off in a three-person race for sheriff after former Sheriff Larry Sherertz announced he would retire without seeking a third term. Smith won 43 percent of the vote on Nov. 6, while Williams garnered 34 percent and Culpeper Town Police Sgt. J.C. Welch finished third with 23 percent. After the election was over, Welch congratulated Smith and wished her well in an interview with the Rappahannock News. Williams, however, did not respond to a request for an interview at that time. Williams said he called Smith a week after the election to congratulate Rappahannock News File Photo Sheriff Connie Compton Smith did not reappoint Chris Williams, pictured, as chief deputy in the Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office. He is now employed as a road deputy in the Warren County Sheriff's Office. her. He said they also discussed his career. “I informed her I would be more than happy to continue in my capacity as chief deputy and 1 would assist her in any way I could," Williams said. “In a brief discussion, I told Connie my only focus was to provide for my family and to help provide a quality law-enforcement service to our community as I had done with the three previous sheriffs. My goal was to retire from Rappahannock County." He said Smith responded by saying they needed “to sit down and have a long talk" about whether they could work together. “I asked Connie to call and let me know when she wanted to talk,” Williams said? “I informed Connie it was imperative for her to let me know as soon as possible if she did not intend to employ me so I could seek employment to support mv family. I told See WILLIAMS, Page A3 Sheriff introduces new chief deputy By Kevin Allen Kttppahiinnix'k N«*ws Stuff Writer The Rappahannock County SherifFs Office has a new chief deputy. Sheriff Connie Compton Smith announced Tuesday afternoon that Scott Jenkins, a sergeant and investigator in the Culpeper Town Police Department, will succeed Chris Williams, who was not reappointed before Smith took office Jar. 1. “I think he has good qualities that he can bring to the sheriffs office, he has a lot of training,” Smith said. “I feel he and I can work together to provide the best service to the citizens." Jenkins began his law-enforcement career in 1990 as a jailer at the RCSO. Coincidentally, Jenkins said, that position was open because Chris Williams had moved from being a jailer to a road deputy in the sheriffs office. Jenkins served in Rappahannock until 1992, when he moved to the Culpeper County Sheriffs Office to be a patrolman and investigator. He eventually rose to the ranks of lieutenant, heading the investigative and SWAT teams and becoming a lead instructor for officer training. In 2004, he left the Culpeper Sheriff s Office to take a position with the Culpeper Town Police, where he has been a sergeant and investigator for the past three years. Jenkins ran for Culpeper County sheriff last year, losing the two-man race in November with 45.5 percent of Bio Name: Scott Jenkins Job: New chief deputy, Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office Age: 36 Hometown: Salem, Culpeper County Education: Culpeper County High School, Germanna Community College Family: Wife, Patricia; son, Bradley, 2 years; daughter, Brailey, 2 months the vote.

He is also happy to return to the county where he began his career and has family roots that go back several generations. “It’s a new challenge and experience that I’m looking forward to,” Jenkins said. “Rappahannock is a beautiful county and one where I can feel at Courtesy pnoto Scott Jenkins is leaving the Culpeper Town Police to be the chief deputy at the Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office homo" Jenkins and Smith havo known each other since his days at the Ht’SO See JENKINS.

Beloved band director to leave By Matt Pklkky Rappahannock Now* Staff Writer Beloved Rappahannock high school band director Matt Yonkey will be leaving after the spring semester. Beginning next fall he will be teaching band at the brand new Kittle Run High School in Warrenton. Yonkey, who is in his fourth year at Rappahannock County High School, said he applied for the position in early December and was formally offered the job later that month. The Rappahannock County School Board last Tuesday approved his resignation effective .June 30. “I love this place," he said. “I’ll never forget it." Yonkey, 2H, and his wife of a year and a half, Chnssy, who teaches at Rappahannock County Elementary School, hope to settle down and start a family. They had been looking to purchase a home in Rappahannock, Yonkey said, but had trouble finding something in their price range. "It's just unfortunate that mv wife and I are teachers and we can’t afford to live here," he said.

Adams Special to the Rappahannock New* With the onset of winter, the greens of summer and the brilliant colors of fall are memories. But with Jeanne Drevas' inaugural installation at the Six Pack Clallery's new solo artist space, we are given the opportunity to appreciate the richness in color, smell, and texture of nature at it fullest. The piece, entitled “Ovoid,” is a singular, 10x14', oval-shaped bowl. Suspended from the ceiling, it floats inches off the floor. “Ovoid” is best appreciated by sitting or lying on the floor i pillows provided*. Jeanne hopes that guests to the gallery will want to sit and meditate, and not judge, but enjoy seeing and being in the room with the ovoid.

An Amissville man was found guilty Tuesday in Rappahannock County General District Court of selling alcohol to an unauthorized person. The evidence presented in court showed that James Patrick Foresman sold beer to a man under 21 at Lombardy's Restaurant in Amissville on Oct, 25. Foresman was fined $250 and put on 12 months unsupemsed probation for the Class l misdemeanor. He was also sentenced to 90 days in jail, but will not have to serve any of the sentence as long as he does not violate his probation. Public defender Rebecca Wade said Foresman has bad vision and. found the customers drivers license difficult to read. He has three pairs of glasses and was wearing the wrong pair while checking the license, she said. Commonwealth's Attor^ ney Peter Luke said bad vision is not an excuse. The customer’s driver's* license is printed vertically, indicating that he is under 21, and the tact that he was underage is printed in red ink. Luke said. Marijuana possession William Robert Halko, of Huntly, was sentenced Tuesday in District Court to 20 days in jail and fined $150 for his second offense tor possession of marijuana. 43 over the limit Vincent Leroy Ryan, of Orlean, was sentenced Tuesday in District Court to spend a weekend in jail for reckless driving in U.S. 211. Ryan was clocked at 98 miles per hour on Nov. 18 in the 55mile-per-hour zone. The 18-year-old told Judge Charles B. Foley that he did not realize how fast he was traveling. Ryan said he was trying to catch up to another driver who had thrown a bottle at his truck. He planned to record the other car’s license plate number if he caught up to it. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said no one else, including the deputy who stopped Ryan, saw the car irom which the bottle allegedly had been thrown. Luke also said that if the other car actually was there, Ryan should have been able to see its license plate right away. Ryan was also fined $250 and had his drivers license suspended for 60 days. - Compiled by Kevin Allen Yonkey From Pago A1 in Fauquier County and we want to start to raise a family and try to just continue living and making sure we have the funds to do so.” Yonkey said. He said his wife does not have plans to switch jobs. During his time as band director at Rappahannock County High School. Yonkey led the Panthers to numerous distinctions. In the 2005 the concert band received top recognition at the H^rshey Park “Music in the Park” competition. At the 2006 Cedar Point competition in Ohio, all three of the high school bands — jazz, concert and marching — took home top marks. And last spring the Panthers traveled to New York City and again distinguished themselves. In April the band members will pack up their instruments and head to Bush Gardens for one last competition under Yonkey. “I try to bring forth as much energy as I can to the group and hopefully evoke enough energy from the kids and keep them on track and try to inspire them in every way, shape or form to get the best result.” he said. Yonkey said his approach to teaching draws from years of experience in the musician's seat. From that vantage point he learned first hand what methods worked best. “I can take what I like and take what t didn’t like and form it into the best overall director and try to follow those guidelines to improve what I’m doing with the kids,” he said. Yonkey started playing music early on. In high school he played saxophone, making first chair in the Pennsylvania .state band and performing at Carnegie Hall with a regional band that drew musicians from up and down the east coast. He went on to Bowling Green State University in Kentucky for the school’s topnotch sax program, but transferred after a semester to Shenandoah Conservatory to be closer to home. There he played in the wind and jazz ensembles. After he graduated from Shenandoah he took a job at Peter Muhlenberg Middle School in Woodstock. Va.. and started teaching private lessons in Rappahannock. He took on about 20 students, teaching a wide array if instruments — sax trumpet, trombone. percussion and flute. When he learned that Rappahannock County High School needed a new band director. Yonkey jumped on the opportunity. “1 formed a relationship with a number of the parents and faculty and students and chomped at the bit to get over here.* he said. The people he met in Rappahannock were part of what first attracted him to the county. They are also what he will miss most when he leaves. “The community support has been incredible.* he said. And he cannot say enough about his students. “Consistently a great group of kids.* he said. The students apparently can return the compliment. Band participation has more than doubled since Yonkey started at the high school. “I’m just always in amazement at how greatly the kids work for him." said Earn Nelson. Nelson is a member of the band boosters, a group of parent supporters of the band. Her lOth-grade son plays trumpet in the jazz, concert and marching bands. She said Yonkey's departure will be a devastating loss for the school. “I think Fauquier County is getting a tremendous gift of talent.* she said. Kathryn Treanor. who set up Yonkey s first private lessons in Rappahannock, knew that the conservatory student she brought in to teach was something special. “He's a natural bom teacher,* she said. Treanor has been arranging private lessons with Shenandoah Conservatory students for about seven years. She hoped to make it easier for county residents to find musical instruction. Her two sons played in the Rappahannock band before graduating in 2006. She said Yonkey brought his students to a higher level. “Kids were excited, kids were motivated, mid by the high standards that he set. kids know what they can achieve.* she said. E-mail the reporter at mpelkeylStimes papers.com. Drevas From Page A1 Jeanne challenged herself to make as “large and mussive” a piece as possible for the space. With this goal, the installation required a great deal of pre-planning and the help of seven volunteers, including Jeanne’s sister Nina (who has assisted with almost every Drevas installation) and her husband Carl. Jeanne also had the help of a Wakefield student, Jon Peters. “It was so great to have someone so young helping,” said Drevas who noted that Peters has crafted his own cardboard installations. Using split bamboo, fine mesh netting, plastic ties, loblolly pine needles and gravity, the Ovoid curves away from you from every vantage point. Seeing light dissipate down the length of millions of pine needles is both stunning and magical. Jeanne Drevas has lived in the mountains of Rappahannock County since 1972. Her life’s work has been her house, which she built using trees reaching through and supporting the frame, rush ceilings, and bamboo walls. She started out as a potter, and has danced with Sally Nash’s Last Minute Wood Company. Jeanne now feels at home here, after traveling -1 and studying in Switzerland and Thailand. “My work honors the cycles of birth, death, decay, and renewal. Ovoid is meant to return to the earth after the two months on display,” Drevas said. Gallery goers will be met by the aromatic smell of a forest floor or pine grove. “I have used loblolly pine needles because they are longer than white pine, and it was a loblolly grove that had the least debris from other trees. I have also learned a lot about working with bamboo on this project for the inner structure. I feel I have found myself with this piece.” Coming to see Drevas’s show will not only give you a visual and ethereal treat, but you can see the new look as the Six-Pack Gallery, which includes six members, is now housed in the first two front rooms as you enter The Packing Shed Gallery The back room is now designated for solo shows, currently Amissville's Jack Frazier, is showing there. When you visit this new solo artist space and this installation, you will see the grand commitment that Jeanne Drevas gives to her art. Her creative spirit will fill your senses while lying or sitting with “Ovoid.” The Six Pack Gallery is open 12:30 - 7 p.m. Thursday thru Sunday. An opening reception with the artist takes place Sunday, January 20 from 2-6 p.m. For information, phone (540) 675-3410 Home and land transfers These Rappahannock County home and land transfers were recorded in the Rappahannuck County Circuit Court clerk 's office between Dec. 28 and Jan. 3.

Fletcher asking for more leeway in second application By Kevin Allen Kuppuhunmxk N*ws StaffWhter James W. “'Bill** Fletcher is scheduled to return to the Rappahannock County Planning Commission on Wednesday with his controversial plan tor an events center on FT. Valley Road. And if Fletchers first application created a storm of opposition. there might be a humcane brewing against Ins second. Last talk the planning commission was strongly criticized by F.T. Valley property owners who said the group recommended an overly lenient set of renditions tor Fletcher. But now Fletcher is asking tor everything the planners were willing to give him anji more. In October, planning commissioners recommended approval tor a bed and breakfast and events center in an existing house at Fletcher's 800-acre Miller Farm, located about 5 miles south of Sperryville. That decision was thrown out a tew weeks later when it was found that Fletchers application had the property listed in the wrong voting district. The error in Fletcher's application forced him to withdraw his original proposal and reapply. On Wednesday, he will have his second go at the planning commission. The ongtnal application recommended tor approval allowed tor 24 events with a maximum attendance of 300 persons. This time around. Fletcher is also requesting to be allowed up to five events with up to 500 persons. mended originally thut amplified music at events be turned off no later than 10 p.m. Fletcher is now asking tor amplified music to be permitted until l a.m. Fletcher is also asking tor no limit on the size or number of churttable events held at the property, and thut such events not count toward other limitations on the number events. Fletcher's application in October also drew several supporters, who said the proposal is for a modest commercial use thut will help preserve open space in the scenic FT. Valley, ’fhey also said an events center is a preferable option compured to housing, which would cause permanent traffic on FT. Valley Roud and bring more costs tor infrastructure and services in the county. Fletcher, who does not live at the Miller Farm, has said agriculture on the property is' no longer profitable and he needs to tap other revenue streams to keep the property in his family. He has also puid tor renovations on the 8,000square-foot Miller House, originally built ui 1912. and needs to keep money coming in tor ongoing work ut the manse. Fletcher’s supporters also pointed out in October that one FT. Valley events center had already been recommended tor approval. In November, the Bourd of Supervisors approved a permit for Roger and Sophie Scruton to operate an events center in Montpelier, an 18-th century mansion located across FT. Valley Road than the Miller Farm. The Montpelier Conference Center permit met little opposition. but it was crafted to be tor a much smullervscale operation than what Fletcher hopes to do. The Sera tons worked with theirneighbors to agree on a set of 15 restrictions fer the 175-acre property. Among those restrictions is a limit of Li outdoor events per year, including tour events with up to 1500 persons and eight events with up to 300 persons. From May through October, no more thun two eveuts per month may be hosted at the property. Another key difference is the Scrutons are not allowed to lease their property to a commercial firm, which would book events. Fletcher said his plan is to lease his Miller Farm tu such a commercial entity. County Administrator John McCarthy has recommended approval fer Fletchers application. but with a different set of conditions than what Fletcher is proposing. He said he believes Fletchers submitted conditions are inadequate to protect the public's interest. McCarthy has based his recommended restrictions fer the property on conditions submitted bv FT. Valley neighbors. He suggests a limit of Li outdoor events per year, with no more thun two per month thrni May through October. Of those events, two may have up to 400 persons, two may have up to J00 persons and the remaining eight may have up to 100 persons. He also recommends that no special consideration be given as to whether the event is fer a churttable organization. He also recommends that amplified music at events be turned oft'no later thun 10 p.m. And he recommends that the county review the application two yours after operations begin at the Miller Farm. Fletcher's first application drew an overflowing crowd to the planning commission's October meeting in the County Courthouse. The turnout was so large that some people were forced to stand ui the buck of the room while others found seats ui the courtroom's jury box. To accommodate what is likely to be another large crowd Wednesday, the planning commission will meet in the auditorium at Rappahannock County High School. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. E mail the reporter at kullen<@tt mespupers.com. jatnes w. out metcner submitted tt suggested conditions with his explication tor an events center on his 800-acre Miller Farm.

"This is the last chance for citizens" to testily before the SCC hearing examiner, said Bri West of the Warrentoubased Piedmont Environmental Council. which has fought the proposal since its inception more than a year ago. “Ideally, they would have attended the summer hearings. And if they didn’t tile written comments, this is their last crack.." Dominion has been the target of relentless criticism during the hearings. The company also has its backersv Dominion spokesman Jim Norvelle said. "This is part of the open process," Norvelle said. "It's been very good for Virginians...Certainly, we have been challenged. And the challenges have made us stronger. It has made us a better company in that we’re out listening." In SCC public hearings and Dom minus-sponsored Mlktf v*. Illicit l pelvv k-tti 4lh l\u D.ut VO >40140 Ot> Classes Underway |oln Any Time information mootings, many have told tho company that Virginia needs "more electrtC' ity" and a "more reliable [transmission! system,* Norvollo said. Tho PEC has spoilt moro than million to stop tho lino. Dominion contonds tho lino is uoodod to moot Northern Virginia's growing oloctricity needs. Without tho luio. tho rogtou might export' once "rolling blackouts5* as ourly as ‘iOll, whon Donmnon wants tho lino in placo and operating PEC considors tho lino unnecessary. It would do irreparable datuago to tho Piedmont's historical, cultui*' al and agricultural resources. Tho lino would link a Winchester substation with one near Areola in Loudoun County. Dominion's proposed route parallels an wasting power line corridor through parts of Frederick,, Warren, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Prince WilUam counties. Dominion also has identiRed a possible route between the two substations that roughly tracks Interstate bt>. RFC believes Northern Virginia’s energy needs can be satisfied by a combination of alternative measures, including conservation, new technology and upgrades to existing infrastructure Fauquier County has hiicd special counsel to challenge the proposed line.

In fact, many Bab\ Boomers have expressed a desire that their families are friends celebrate their lives with a big party when they die. In accordance with their wishes, many would oschew organ music in preference for a jazz service. While not everyone's taste runs along these lines, the trend dives show that a funeral can be as individualized as the person being celebrated. To ensure that their particular wishes are followed, those with individual attitudes and tastes are preplanning their funerals. We plan ahead for the important events in our lives. Education, weddings and home buying are just a few. Why not preplan the commemoration of our passing? At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we can offer you a wide variety of preneed options.

Amissville’s Artistic Iron and Rigging Mark Hale never thought he’d be working in the same business as his father and brother. Sometimes life surprises you. After about a decade as a helicopter pilot in Special Forces it was clear to Mark that it was time for a change. He was looking forward to a life with a little less structure than the military. Metal work was what his father and brother did and he knew that it was something that would allow him to earn a living. That very practical outlook has grown into a love of craftsmanship and pride in his work that serves Mark well. His business, Artistic Iron & Rigging, started in 2004. He was working in the semi-conductor industry and kept getting special requests for metal Amissville ! Julie Emery 937-2315 Julie@ JulieEmery.com work jobs. But things really took off when his friend, Josh Craig, got a job at a company called Bognet in Washington, D.C. Josh was able to connect him to commercial jobs and suddenly the business took off. Soon, Josh left to join the new company and they were on their way. Last year Mark gave up the steady paycheck for the life of a full-time entrepreneur. After you listen to him talk about his work for Looking back on 2007 So much has happened in Sperryville this year in our village life. We celebrated the birthdays of those wonderful grandmothers like Lee Anna Whorton and Thelma Jenkins, who are so important in the lives of their grandchildren. A group of volunteers removed a huge rusting metal hulk from the Thornton River. Leobardo Reyes and his talented crew built a beautiful stone wall along the river and RappFLOW created a model riparian buffer project and a rain garden behind the SchoolHouse. Housing renovation and restoration continues to improve the village. The Living Towns meeting held at The SchoolHouse has launched a county-wide effort to improve broadband services and provided some of the impetus for a grant application for development of a county website for tourism. The SchoolHouse has undergone a metamorphosis and is now home to RappLink, a community center for grassroots programs and for shared office space for five non-profit organizations. The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s Fourth of July Celebration Drougnt mucn oi tne entire community together. Pickin’ Parties are an institution on those second Saturdays at the Sperryville Fire Hall. The Veteran’s Memorial was dedicated in the Sperryville Cemetery and soon thereafter the stairs were repaired and the gates replaced. We said good bye to Eileen and Lucky and welcomed Pelegatta’s Eatery to Main Street. Rae is back serving good food. The RAAC art tour filled our hills and hollows and Main Street with visitors buying art. Mike and Susan opened a new school at Belle Meade. Leap Start Day Care opened this past fall. Sperryville was featured in Southern Living and in Virginia Living magazines. Two excellent chefs , Bertukan Kassa and Hi Soo Shinn Heppinstall served over 65 Ethiopian and Korean dinners each this fall at Pellegatta’s Eatery. Monica Worth, RLEFs new president, opened her office on Main Street...and so much more! Looking Forward to 2008 The vitality and small town flavor of our village continues to be one of our most cherished assets. The Rappahannock Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors have critical decisions to make about special exemptions that will impact our community. The Corner Store will be expanding its offerings,..look for homemade bread and gourmet cheese later in the year. The Stonewall Abbey Cafe and Gift Shop will be opening in the old church/bookstore on Main Street. I look forward to sharing all the news from our village with you. Chasing away the January Blues at Rae’s This is a slow time of year Sperryville Barbara Adolfi adolfibarbara@ verizon.net (540) 987-868° for many businesses. To counteract the usual economic downturn in revenue, friends of Rae gathered at her restaurant for a lively party with music by Rappahannock’s own Rude Rock Band on Friday evening and the soothing sounds of Dontez Harris and friends all day Saturday. Good food, wine, beer, fun and companionship was enjoyed by the crowd both days. Pickin’ Party on Saturday In a smoke-free, family friendly atmosphere you can bring the kids for supper and let them move to the sounds of good bluegrass music at the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Hall, starting at 6 p.m. As usual, the Auxiliary will be cooking food. They make their money through food sales and the 50/50 raffle. Proceeds support the needs of the Volunteer Fire Dept and maintenance of the Fire Hall. All those wonderful musicians just show up to volunteer their time and talent for your entertainment. Yall come! Rebuilding of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad The current board of SVRS is determined to improve services for our community. If you go by the building you might get caught in the draft!

January birthdays I first knew him as my dermatologist in Alexandria many years ago and today I have the honor to wish Dr. Harold Berman, a 28-year resident of Woodville, a very happy 80th birthday. The official date is January 12, a landmark he will celebrate with a small group of friends. Dr. Berman is still in parttime practice in Alexandria and a model to us all. Happy Birthday, Dr. Berman! Leah Delong has sent us the names of these very special January birthday people: Jan. 2, Richard Antony; Jan. 10, Frank Coffey III; Jan. 13, Elizabeth Crawford; Jan. 15, Jim Swindler; Jan. 19, Ruby Dwyer; Jan. 19, Walter Kilby and Jan. 27, Ce Pike. As always, I invite you to send information that you want included in this column. I also invite feedback anytime about what you like and don’t like to see here. even a few minutes you become convinced he made the right decision. Some of the commercial projects he’s worked on include consulates and embassies in D.C. He’s working on an arena at an area horse farm right now. One of the challenges in commercial work is finding skilled, reliable help. There’s not a huge pool of iron workers in Rappahannock County! So, last year the company signed an agreement with the DC Ironworkers Local. The company is now able to call and request the help they need, when they need it. The flexibility is a huge benefit for a small company. The big commercial jobs may be helping the business grow quickly, but when you ask Mark what he enjoys the most he’s quick to tell you it’s the small jobs. “I like working with homeowners on railings and driveway gates. I like helping them find something that’s just right for them.” The creative part of these smaller jobs is being able to add the beautiful ornamental touches that people associate with wrought iron in places like New Orleans. “We don’t see as much of it here in this area,” Mark said. He thinks part of the reason for that may be that many homeowners are unfamiliar with wrought iron and how durable it is. The cost is similar to vinyl but it has a much more classic look and can be easily customized. And, for those worried about rust Mark says that there are newer products out there that are as maintenance free as vinyl. One of the smaller jobs that Mark is especially pleased with is the set of railings for Wakefield County Day School. They were specially made to match the old wrought iron chandeliers and turned out beautifully. With six full-time employees and plenty of work,' Artistic Iron and Rigging is definitely well established. I didn’t hear any talk about taking it easy though. Mark may not have planned this career path, but his enthusiasm definitely tells you he’s found work he loves. If you’d like to see more of Mark’s work or talk to him about a job, you can check out his web site at or call him at 540-222-0151. As an Amissville resident he’d be happy to do more local work! Photo by Julie Emery Mark Hale crafted these railings for Wakefield Country Day School .

Door locks and dial tones The two week fast from the Flint Hill News is over! We trust that our readers had a joyous Christmas and that the New Year is bff to a good start! Speaking of breaking a fast, you will be happy to know that the Griffin Tavern will reopen Friday. If you have been hankering for Fish & Chips or Bangers and Mash or some of Mary Frances’ pies, your waiting days are over. One of the joys of living in a small quiet town is that little things cause great excitement. My husband, Don, always stops at Settles for a cup of coffee before going to work. He called me as soon as he got to work one day saying, “You got to go to Settle’s and check out the new door knob!" When the new locking mechanism was installed on The Rappahannock News and the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWLi present Your Next Best Friend: Olive Photo by Lili Duvall' I’m a sister of Patch, the fellow in last week’s Rappahannock News. We re from over Rock Mills way. I resemble a fox more than I do my brother - who has always thought himself the cutest in the litter, by the way. I am now 13-weeks-old, learning more and more each day what it’s like to be around these two-legged creatures who feed me. By the way, is it true they have no sense of smell at all? Seems that way. This past week 5 dogs were joined with new owners. The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League is located in Amissville at 164 Weaver Road. They can be reached 7 days a week between 8 a m and 1 p.m. at (540) 937-3283. Check our their website at wwwrawldogs.org the door of Settle’s store, it caused quite a stir. And I had finally figured out, after twoplus years, the exact technique required for opening the old door - press, pull, press, push, wiggle, push. Thankfully, old dogs can learn new tricks. We love the door upgrade! I had an interesting day this week. After returning home from physical therapy, I did what I always do. I picked up the portable phone, pressed “Talk” and listened for a dial tone or the beeping signal letting me know that I had a message. But all I heard was silence. I hung up and tried again, but still no sound. About ten minutes later I tried the base phone in the kitchen - still no dial tone. A few minutes later I tried the portable again and got an annoying sound, like that of a fax machine. This happened three times and then I finally got a dial tone. Good. No messages. Then things got interesting. Within two minutes of hanging up the phone, there was someone pounding on my front door and ringing the doorbell. From the window I saw three cars. Two were brown and gold with lights on top and the other was “unmarked.” It is amazing how many things can run through the human mind in a matter of seconds. What did I do? What do they think I did? What did one of my parishioners do? Who died? What would bring three county sheriffs to the door of a 50-something clergywoman and grandmother? Smile when you open the door, Leah! Well, it turns out that there was a 911 hang up call from my residence and our law enforcement personnel dutifully responded. I explained that I did not call 911, but I was having phone problems. The good sheriff suggested I call the phone company, Flint Hill Leah DeLong and Ester Settle (540) 675-3252 flinthi I lnews@comcast. net which I did. I explained the situation about the 911 call that I did not make. The customer service lady said they would get on it right away and suggested that the problem may be with the battery in the portable phone. When batteries get low (and mine wasn’t), phones sometimes do things like dial numbers automatically. Have you ever heard of such a thing? If this makes sense to you, let me know! Help for the homeless The churches on the Rappahannock United Methodist Charge need your help. They will be going to Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Feb. 2, to take hot food and warm clothes to the homeless men who live on the streets. Specifically needed are men’s winter coats, sweat shirts and pants, boxer shorts, socks, and work boots. Clothing should . be size Large or XL. Socks and underwear should be new; other clothing and boots may be used, but clean. Gloves, knit caps and sleeping bags are also appreciated. Call Judi Burke (631-6103) to arrange for pick up before the end of January. January birthdays Jan. 10, Karen Beck-Herzog; Jan 20, Judi Burke; Jan 22, Janet Eastham; Jan 29, A.J. P&lmer; and Jan 29, Sue Nigh. Hunker down This is the time of year that should be called “hunker down.” We have been through the holidays.. .and I hope yours were wonderful.. .and now it is time for the weather to get cold and for the inhabitants to ride out the rest of the winter. The eggnog was especially good this year. I have made three batches, so far. The fruit cakes were good, but, for some reason, were a bit too moist. My brother told me that Mom used to use an old wooden spoon to hold open a crack in the oven door when she was baking the fruitcakes, to let the moisture escape. I may have to try that next year. We are finally getting some moisture in the ground, and a little more would be welcomed, in whatever form. The hunting season is over, and that went pretty well. I did hear of some miscreant scumbags who dumped a bunch of deer carcasses in the Jordan River, but nobody in their right mind would call trash like that hunters. Maybe we should offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of these scofflaws. We have received the first couple of seed catalogs. I find it • rather enjoyable to sit by the wood stove and plan my vegetable garden. Until that far distant day when the garden starts to produce again, I think we will be able to make it on the canned beans and tomatoes we put up last summer. And we have really enjoyed our crop of sweet potatoes. I set out nine plants, and they produced really well. I still recall how Mom used to take the little ones about as big as your finger and put them on a Brady’s Clark Hollow Ramblings Richard Brady 675-3754 richardbradyl@ juno.com cookie sheet and bake them in the oven of the old wood stove. A little butter and salt, and you had yourself a feast. And. for a feast for the eyes, our resident bluebirds have decided they like the berries on Linda’s home made wreaths. Those beautiful little birds, perched on the outdoor wreaths, next to a red bow, would have made a great picture for next year’s Christmas cards. And on my last hunting day in the woods, I got a very good look at a yellow-bellied sapsucker. They are not uncommon in this area, but you don’t see them that much. This fellow gave me a couple of good long looks, as he came twice to a young hickory tree not 30 feet away. Perhaps, he wanted to make sure I got the identification correct. Now it is time to put a big pot of stew on the stove, get in some of that dry locust firewood you have been hoarding, get a couple of good books, and hunker down for the winter. But, do get a bit of exercise and take some walks, because you are going to have to be working the garden again before you know it.

Countryside ‘ 1 By Amy Silver O’Leary » , Special to the Rappahannock New* It’s been two years since the Rappahannock News generously offered to spotlight Headwaters’ Starfish Mentoring program each January, to help the Rappahannock community celebrate National Mentoring Month. Two years ago, as Maryann Jenkins read the Rappahannock News series on Starfish, she began to realize it might be what she needed for her then 9-year-old son, Charles (“CAT). “I read about it in the paper, and I said, *this sounds like what CJ. needs,’ remembered Jenkins. She had moved to Rappahannock County when CJ. was five, and was struggling with being a single mother. "I was looking for an answer but I didn’t know where to look. I wanted help but didn’t know where to go for it—I wanted someone to see him the same way I see, him." Jenkins contacted Starfish Program Director Carol Lucking, and in August of 2006, C.J. was matched with Sam Fox, a retired attorney who moved to the county in 1988. It* the best decision Ive ever made, said Jenkins. “Sam allow* him to be who he is. He’s gentle but firm. He lets him be a kid, but if he’s done something wrong, he’ll have no problem letting him know. If C.J. gets frustrated about something, if he’s got issues built up inside him, Sam can tell. Samll say ‘okay, let’s talk about it.’ Samll be one of the first ones to get on him if he’s done some* * thing he shouldn’t, but he’s also his friend— there’s no pressure.” CJ., who is now 11, agrees with his mother's assessment. “At first,” said CJ, ”1 didn’t know what Sam was going to be like, but then later on 1 saw how he was and he’s nice, real nice.” C.J. enjoys the many activities he and Sam share during their weekly meetings. “We like to work in the workshop, and now we’re going in the gym to help me work out and get a lot stronger. Sam has a dog, *Gus,’—his real name is Angus. Gus likes to play with the Frisbee, and he loves to play tennis. If you throw the ball, he’ll try to catch it, then if it bounces he’ll go get it. Hell bring it to Sam and Sam will say: ‘sit,’ then ‘give.*” “Our activities run a pretty broad gamut,” noted Fox. “I always try to make sure that if he has schoolwork, he does that first. He’s usually pretty conscientious about doing his work. He’s a very good student, he’s meticulous in his attention to the work. He has the most amazing handwriting or printing for a young boy! His papers are classic. He does well academically.” Like his mother, CJ. approves of Fox’s gentle approach to discipline. “Sam corrects me if I do something real wrong. Like when we used to go to the diner, I would always rip my chicken tenders apart with my hands, BCki ■au> J PMoto courtesy ot Headwater* Susan Jones and Christene have been paired for many years. New friends Sam Fox and C.J. ^iflHi Photo courtesy of Headwaters Frank Bigelow and Josh and he telle me *00, that’s not very good man* ners,’ and now I use my fork and knife.” For his part, Fox has found the experience to be extremely rewarding. “It can be a challenge, but at the end of the day it’s an incredibly rewarding experience.” “Just before Christmas, we were riding down the road, talking about one of CJ.’s concerns, and I really connected with him. He talked to me so sincerely about the issue, went into detail about what wasn’t working. I just felt so good about our relationship.” “To have a moment like that is incredibly fulfilling and enriching. There aren’t lots of them, but 1 think as I get better at it and as I learn more about C.J., what his needs are and what he responds to, there will be more of them.” Mentor Marilyn Armor, who with hue* band David is the former owner of Sharp Rock Vineyards and Sharp Rock B & B in Sperryville, has been paired with 7-year»old Karly since June, 2007. She seconds Sam Fox’s assessment of the rewards of mentoring. “I get a lot out of it, it’s a two-way thing in terms of giving and also receiving. It’s a very enriching experience. I think the mentor gets as much back—if not more—than the mentee.” For example, explained Armor, “I’ve always been an artistic type, and now Tm painting for the first time in my life, Karly PI>010 of Mftddwafw* Artist Marilyn Armor and her new friend, Karly Rappahannock News Slatl Photo/Matl Pelkey Pholo courlety of Hsadwalvr* Markeith now towers over Steve Carroll, his mentor since he was 10. and I were at tiie Mini-Mart, and this woman asked, 'Oh, is this your grandmother?* Karly said, *No, she’s my very good friend, and she’s an artist!’ I have never used the word ’artist’ with Karly to describe myself She could say it when I couldn’t.” “A lot of us go into this at a time in our lives when we finally have the time to give back,” added Armor. “Everybody gives back in different ways. 1 happen to love children, so this was a natural thing for me to do. Early's just a delight. She’s a very interesting, inquisitive child in a very positive way— she’s interested in everything. She’s curious; she asks a lot of questions. She’s only 7years-old, but she has very definite ideas on things.” When they'd been paired just a few weeks, for example, Karly was at Armor’s house when Program Director Carol Lucking called to check in. “After speaking with Carol for a few minutes,” said Armor, *1 asked Karly, ‘Do you want to talk to her?1 Karly said, No, but tell Carol we’re a good fit.1* “Everybody needs somebody to confide in,” pointed out Maryann Jenkins. “People in general need that safe haven. That’s why I always want C J. to feel like he can tell anything to Sam, and I make sure he knows Sam doesn’t tell me every little thing CJ. tells him.” Both mentors praise the staff of the , Starfish program. Tm incredibly impressed with Carol Lucking and how the program is set up,” attested Armor. ‘They’ve got a lot of safeguards in place to protect the kids. I had to go through background checks. We’re accountable, there’s a whole network for dealing with issues, things are explained to us beforehand. I think people are very welltrained by the time they are paired with a PtXjIG COuflH';/ tjl MH.Whv.ltfcH Linda Wright and Lianna spent time during the holidays baking gingerbread men.

I know I’m better at what I’m doing because of that.” Sam Fox agrees. “The program provides wonderful help. If there’s an issue, I can talk to Carol, or if necessary they’ll call in another professional to talk it over with.” “It can be challenging to be a mentor,” added Fox, “because there’s a tendency to want to be parental in one’s approach to the child, and that’s not where we ought to be. What CJ. needs me to be is a buddy, a friend, a confidante, and be non-judgmental.” Asked what advice he would offer other children who might be thinking about having a mentor, CJ. Responded, “1 would say f they’re real cool to have, nice to talk to, it’| almost like they’re your best friend.” Headwater* thanks Starfish’t 2008 Business and Community Sponsors: Armfield Miller A Ripley, Kreyling Construction, Piedmont Property, Inc., Rappahannock National Bank, The Rappahannock News, Rappahannock Real Estate Resources, Reed Estate III, Roy Wheeler Realty Co., and Thomas and Talbot Real Estate.
