Helmerick is attempting to run across the United States. Farm intern to run across U.S. Runner hopes to encourage healthy lifestyles By Kkvin Ai.i.kn KatipiihimiUH'k New* Stntl'Writer It sounds like tin April Fool's joke, but it’s not. On April 1. Fiona Holmerick is going to lx>gin running across the United States. Her plan is to start Tuesday at the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach. Her destination is the Pacific Ocean in hurt hern California, some 3,200 miles away If she is successful, the 23 old Mount Vernon Farm intern says she will become just the 10th woman to achieve the feat. “I’ve been planning to do it since high school," said Holmerick, who ran track and cross country at North Carolina State University. She was still a sophomore in college when she completed her first long-distance run, from her front porch in Laramie, Wyo., to her grandmother’s house in Cheyenne, some 50 miles away. “I thought it would Ik? cool to get there on my own foot, so I did," she said. Holmerick estimates that her coast-to-coast trip will take* about three months. She plans to run six hours per day - a three-hour shirt in the morning and another threehour shirt in the evening. Depending on terrain, she probably will cover between 30 and 40 miles a day at the pace of 10 minutes per mile. She is not going to take any days off. Accompanying Holmerick on the trip will bo her boyfriend, Nick Ijchecka, and the couple’s two dogs. They have un KV that will serve as a mobile base for the run. lehecka will lx* the* one-man support crew. Holmerick is encouraging anyone who is interested in running with her, whether it Ik- for an hour or a day, to join her on the road. 1 ler Follow Elena Visit www.run3200.com to check on Elena Helmerick's progress as she Tuns across the united States.

Helmerick is also running with » cause: to promote more healthy lifestyles through exercise and eatin« local, naturally mined fexxis. The couple are planning to visit argunic, sustainable farms along the Toss-country route. ‘The main thing is to help bring them exposurelohecka said. “And to show people that local foods are available everywhere," Helmerick added. “(The run| is a grout platform to educate* people about it.” “Living in Rappahannock, it's easy to show [M*ople you never have to eat anything pnx'ossod. and we want to show people you can do that anywhere," Lehccka said. lehceka, who is a comp«*titive triathlete, said natural fixxl, like that raised at Mount Vernon Farm, ;*an give athleti*s a noticeable Ixxast. “For her training and the training 1 do, it. really makes a difTi*r t'luv,” he said. The couple plan to continue eating healthy, local food* by picking them up ut farms across the nation. Both Helmerick and tx*hecka say living at Mount Vernon Farm, where they have worked as interns since August, has helped them a great deal in training for the trip. One of the selling points for them when they first came to visit the farm was that Rappahannock is a great training ground tor runners. “.Just on this property, we have miles of trails on the mountain." Ix'hecka said. Helmerick says her favorite running spot in the county is where Old Hollow hits Shenandoah National Park. Lehecka’s favorite areas are Hawlin Road, Qunintance Hoad and 'Wotxlward Road. In addition to working on Mount Vernon Farm, Helmerick finds time to run two to three hours a day. She expects she will have the energy to run longer if she is not burning calories on farm chores. Helmerick said Mount Vernon Farm owner (Miff Miller has provided a lot of encouragement. “i Miff is really supportive," she said. “If things are busy, but we hnve to get a run in, he'll say. Then go get your run in.*" Ix'hecka said. Maybe that's Ixxnuse Miller can understand the runner's mentality. After all, he used to run a threehour, five-minute marathon in the 1970s. “I hnve no doubt that Elena’s gonna make it." Miller said. i leltnerick and I^efux'ka estimate it will cost about $10,000 - including gas, food and other expenses - to make the cross-country trip.

Brush fire burns within feet of house By Mait I’ki.kky Ku|>|Nihiiiirifx k Ni'wm .Staff Writer A 21-acre brush fire off of (lid Brown I follow Hoad crept within 20 foot of a neighboring house last Friday, said Washington Fire Chief Ann Spieker. No one at the residence was home at the time, she said. Five of the county’s six lire departments, jis well as the Virginia Department of Forestry, rescinded to the afternoon fire, which burned liar hours und sent a large plume of smoke into the sky that could Is- seen miles away. The fire squads parked their vehicles on nearby Pullens Bluff Hoad und cleared brush around the fire with a bulldozer and rakes to try to contain it. “It was not a fire that you put out with your t rucks,” Spieker said. “You had to uctually walk and rake a line to stop this fire.” Spieker said that rocky terrain and thick vegetation complicated efforts. She said that the squads arrived to find that the fire had melted a seal on a 500-gallon propane tank, which was spitting flames. The crews tunit'd off the gas and cooled down the tank to keep it from exploding, Spieker said. Spieker said the cause of the fire has not f>een determined. “It could’ve been as simple as a hiker going and smoking and dropping ash,” she said. “We don’t know” Tin* forestry department is looking into the.lire, but Spieker doubts the investigation will yield a cause. “I think if we would’ve tieen able to determine a definite cause, we would’ve known by now," she said.

Cheely said the aim of the program is to moke classes available to students who might not otherwise be able to take them. She said that in smaller schools there ore sometimes not enough students interested in AP classes to offer them. "We started off serving students in rural and underserved areas where they couldn’t get these courses any other way.” Cheely said. About 10 Rappahannock students ore taking online courses this year, an increase over the past couple years as interest has grown and more classes have been offered, said Chris Collins, the Virtual Virginia men* tor at the high school. About 3.000 students are taking online classes through the program, which is geared toward Virginia students but is open to those in other states and even other countries. “It allows n lot of our kid* other option* that the would not be able to take advantage of unle** they were at a larger school."

Rappahannock high school junior A.J. Collins said students are given the freedom to work at their own pace and according to their own schedules. He cautioned, however, that such free• dom requires self-control. Collins said he is planning on taking three online courses next year.

Audit Bureau of Cumulations tMahM.rappnaiwa.eom % THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2008 Confronting a harsh reality On Monday, Superintendent Chappell will pass on the school board's requested education budget to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, From there the supervisors will mull it over and in May decide how much money to allot the schools. As the school board members let go of the budget, they can also brush off their hands after grasping efforts to tame a looming financial crisis - at least for now. The education budget is by far the county's largest single expense, and as such is a target for residents concerned about rising taxes. At about this time last year, the school board was catching flak from the public for proposing a $660,000 increase to the budget. The budget hearing last week, however, had a remarkably different tone. Criticism was little and tempered. Most speakers expressed support for the board. If anything, they worried that the board might not be asking for enough money from the supervisors. And that was with a 3.5 percent pay raise for school employees written into the board’s budget. The shift in public sentiment might indicate at least an appreciation of the board’s efforts to adjust to the new reality facing Rappahannock schools. That reality is one in which everything is shrinking - student enrollment is dropping, and state funding is getting slashed. Maybe it was that the board's budget shrunk, too, that kept criticism down. Last Thursday, board members approved a bottom-line request of $12,063,799, or $33,135 less than the budget approved by the Board of Supervisors last year. Or it could have been that the board teamed with county officials and successfully pushed through legislation that would allow Rappahannock to seek additional state money. If the school board aimed simply to keep constituents happy, or at least happy enough not to complain, they did a good job. The rub, though, is that things aren't all that much better, and those up in arms about rising taxes as well as those pushing for education could still face disappointment. Next year, enrollment is expected to drop, costing Rappahannock state money in per-pupii funds. And Rappahannock’s “local composite index" <LC1>. which the state uses to assess a county’s wealth and determine how much it can put toward education, will increase. The school board’s requested budget reflects the larger problem. State funding is down and county spending is up, and overall, the schools will receive less money than they did last year. But there is hope that Rnppahnnnock schools will find some way to acclimate to the new landscape. Del. Gilbert’s funding bill that was signed into law earlier this month will cover barely half of the state funding that Rappahannock will lose next year - and that’s if Superintendent Chappell jumps through the prerequisite hcsips and the General Assembly chooses to appropriate the money. However, the legislation will probably bring some money to the schools and will also maybe serve ns a foot in the door for Rappahannock officials to seek more money in the future. The schools also may be able to attract more out-of-county students with the board's proposed reduced tuition rate, which could bring more money into the school system And Chappell’* $358,000 in cost savings in the board’s budget potentially could lie managed with out any layoffs and without compromising students’ education. These are steps forward, and if the schisil Ismrd keeps them up. education in Rappahannock may stay on its feet I Photo tty E Raymond Bog Jim Biubaugh offers Larry Hepinstall a Bud Light, while Dick Retdinger toasts them with one of many empty beer cans and bottles found dunng the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee's spnng cleanup of U.S. 2tt near Massies Comer. Trash tells a story By Jim Buhatoh Spmft] to thp Hj|jp»hnniiiKH Npw* “We un> beginning to see trends here, dust as in anything else, there is a story revealed in the pickup of trash.” Or so claim the stalwarts of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee, who conducted their spring cleanup of US. ill lust Friday. The Democratic Committee udopted a 2.5-mile stretch of the highway west of Massies Corner several years ago. and has been cleaning it regularly since then. Generally, they see plenty of beer and soda cans and bottles, and this year was no exception. “But there is less variety this year. The beer was almost all the less expensive brands." noted Dick Reidinger. one of the Democratic ‘pickup artists’, as they call themselves, “And. unlike previous years, there were very few fast food cartons and bags.” “We think it may reflect a tightening of the economy.” said Ray Boc, chairman of the county Democratic Committee. “People may be choosing to eat out lew), and choosing the lose expensive brands of beer* He noted that there was also a decided decrease in the amount of construction waste, and an increase in the amount of broken car parts found, both of which suggest a downturn in the economy. “People may be driving their cars longer without repairs, so we find more muffler sections and other parts that fall off the car." Bi>c said. “Every time Tm out here." said Yogi Bear of Flint Hill. “1 find a different mix of trash. But fm glad to see that there seems to be less of it than normal." Hank Gorfem. who started the program for the Democrats and who has been involved in nearly every trash pickup since then, agreed. That may be the best news. While it is not unusual for the Democratic cleanup crew to collect two dozen or more large orange bags of trash, there were only 16 bags this time around. "This is one trend HI be glad to see continue." said Gorteirt. Continuing debate These lrttrrs address an article about dog shootings that ran in the Feb. 28 issue of the Rappahannock Sews. Coyotes, don can cause great damage I have a reply to “Doit owners shocked, saddened by shootings.” Coyotes do pose a danger to other animals, cattle, pigs - even humans. They will eat small dogs and cats. ! lived out West for two years and I'm a tittle familiar with them. Dogs who are left to roam can do a lot of damage, too. Once they get a taste of blood, you almost can’t stop them. My parents had chickens when 1 was little and they had a problem with dogs a couple of times. There is a big black dog that comes in my yard and challenges me and my little dog to fight. He defecates around my door and urinates on my house. Also. I’ve had cows come in my yard, destroy my trees and landscaping and leave dung everywhere, t was informed they were owned by a certain person. I sent him two letters and a certificate letter asking that he replace the trees. Animals come on your property and do whatever they want and you are made to look like the bad guy. Doris Critaer Washington Pet owners need to protect animals This letter is in regard to Richard Brady’s column titled “Owner’s Obligations” that ran in last week's Rappahannock News. 1 feel like 1 want to put in a similar opinion. And I should have before now. I<et me start off by saying 1 am proud of him for doing it ami embarrassed that it took his step to get me to do mine. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and when I read the article nbout the dog that was killed in the trap, my first thought went to. Why was the dog running free17 Did he get off his chain’' Did he get out of his fence'' Was there ever anv fence’’ How long was the dog missing before anyone went to l<*»k for him’’ No one has ever broached those subjects. Kveryone has felt sorry for the owner, the child who lo^t the pet and has made the man who shot the dog look like a monster I)on't get me wrong. I am very, very sad for the loss of the dog I am a huge dog lover. I adore my dogs. I am a bet sitter, as a matter of fact. My dogs, mv clients, stay in my fenced yard, and in mv house* because I want 1 T to keep them safe. We are to protect our animals just like our children. They are not smart enough to do it for themselves. That is why we are to act like the adults. Now. t will be honest. I have chased a dog or two down the street because they have gotten out my back door. 1 am not perfect. When that has happened, it is a dead heat run. the whole family running for the dog. Are those the circumstances here? ♦Or any of the above 1 mentioned'7) If so. I will apologize. The first article mentioned there were other pets “lost* too. that creates a feeling of doubt in my mind that there were “owner’s obligations* not being met. Just because we live out in the country doesn’t give us the right to let our pets run free and be haphazard pet owners. They are still our responsibility. and we still need to keep them safe. Debrgjean Norris AmisaviUe Leg-hold traps should be banned I believe that animals feel both pain and emotion. With that said. I am against the use of leg traps in their entirety. If there must be some use, than let it be by special exception with all neighbors informed as to their limited duration This law that allows the use of leg traps is clearly in need of changing and. in my mind, is deeply connected to the open season on coyotes. It certainly was in Mr. Ludwig’s case Leg traps have been referred to recently as “coyote traps'* when, in reality, they are ‘anything that walks by’ traps. They are indiscriminating and inhumane, yet allowed, even with close proximity to homes, homes with children and pets who might dare to enter a neighbor's property, driven by a good day and a good nature. Could you mine your property with trnps just because you wanted to^ That doesn't make sense, but neither does killing coyotes or anything else because they have been labeled o nuisance by some outdated Virginia law A nuisance is a circumstance, not a species' Let's put site I leg-hold traps in our past where they belong They are immoral and should lie made illegal. (Jet the Virginia laws to reflect the values of our time Nan Reddick Hperryvllle Contract awarded for new fire truck/tanker TTTushmjtton Volunteer W Fir* and Rescue has entered into a contract with Slagle Fire Equipment & Supply, a Virginia dealer, and KME. a fire equipment manufacturer located in Pennsylvania for a new tire truck/tanker to replace the squad's hi- veor-old tanker. The new tanker/pumper should be delivered in December and will cost about $452,000. Tks nwiiM Russ Collins The old tanker has served Rappahannock County well, but can no longer do the job effectively. The engine is no longer strong enough to haul wuter up steep hills and driveways. The tanker is difficult to drive under the best of conditions, and the open cub is unsafe for carrying fire fighters. The new fire truck/tanker will solve these problems. It will have a powerful engine to navigate steep hills, on automatic transmission for ease of driver training and carry sis firefighters safely in an enclosed cab. The new tanker will also have a more powerful pump so the tanker can act as an auxiliary pumper at fires. It will also have compressed air foam tor fighting fires. Foam is important in Rappahannock as it effectively triples the amount of water available at a fire. Huw can a truck cost so much? Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue has promised a series of articles to help everyone who is interested understand what it takes to purchase and build a new fire truck for Rappahannock. But for starters, think of a truck strong enough to haul a 2.000-gallon swimming pool on rugged roads and up steep hills in all types of weather. Then add to the truck a 1.250-gnllonper-minute pump, air compressors, electrical systems. lights, sirens, digital monitoring systems and compartments for bringing all manner of firefighting gear to a fire, along with six volunteer firefighters. Before awarding a contract to Slagle/KME. Washington evaluated proposals from six contractors for cost, design, firefighting capability and delivery schedule. Slage/KME provided the best overall solution. They met the design requirements at the lowest cost. Slage/KME will custom build a tanker to meet the needs of Rappahannock County’s homeowners. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will provide a grant that will pay for slightly half the cost of the new tanker, but Washington will need to raise the remaining $214.(X)0 through a series of fund-raising activities and a loan that has been promised from the Department of Agriculture. Rural Development Agency. Admiration for Adolfi I would like to express admiration to Barbara Adolfi for her n<()ortinj; in Rappahannock County.

Students visit local community colleges and trade schools By Miranda Hops Dirwtur. Nt»\t Step The Next Step Program. Qi partnership with the Guidance Department at Rappahannock County High School tRCHS), recently took HO students on four field trips to seven different area community colleges and trade schools. All of the schools are accredited. affordable programs that provide excellent training for anyone looking to create opportunities in his or her life. On Feb. t4. a small group visited three cosmetology programs: The Graham Webb Academy in Rosslyn; Paul Mitchell: The School at Tyson's Corner: and Culpeper Cosmetology Training Center. Each of these programs offers 1,500 hours of hands-on instruction and academic course work, in preparation for the Stute Board exum. On Feb. ‘&7. £0 seniors attended tours of both the Wurrenton and Middletown campuses of Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC). Students gathered information about programs, financial aid und extracurricular activities. Almost all of them filled out applications to the college before the trip. They will take the placement test in the coming weeks, either ut RCHS or LFCC. On March 18. six RCHS students attended Lord Fairfax's “Career Pathways” presentations. Staff members and faculty gave 10-minute presentations m “Life After High School” und a wide variety of Lord Fairfax's trade offerings, from construction, electrical and HVAC apprenticeships to RN and LPN Nursing degrees. On March U. 40 students visited automotive, electrical and welding training programs. First. Brent WUsoh. the director of Gemumna Community College's two-year Automotive Program, gave the students an information session and tour of his shop and classroom. Next. Michael Bishton gave the students an information session and tour of the Union Electrical Apprenticeship in Munassas, a program that gives students a job. full benefits and a retirement package, while paying them to attend clusses and granting them a union cord. Our last stop was at Northern Virginia Conununi HEADWATERS Fostering educational excellence in Rappahannock County RCHS students Ashley Priest. Ashley Howard, Elizabeth Welch and Danielle Kirby examine surgical instruments at Lord Fairfax’s “Career Pathways'* day. ty College's Automotive and Welding programs, also in Munussas. Dr. Dee Martin. Ed. D. the Dean of the Science and Applied Technologies Division, showed the students a video on the different job .opportunities available to welders. He then had one of his staff fire up the engine on a dragster that was built in NOVAs facility. After a brief tour, we were back on the bus. heading home to Rappahannock. The RCHS Guidance Department and Next Step Program can help a student get started. Each program has different offerings and requirements and welcomes students to contact them directly. The good news is that all of the schools offer financial aid and are actively looking for students. The great news is that all of these trades pay a living wage or more, have job security. opportunities tor contribution and growth, and a desperate need tor trained and skilled employees.

Early season point-topoints are held on Saturdays; later meets vie with National Steeplechase Association sanctioned events in Virginia and, therefore, are most oftenv held on Sundays to avoid' conflict, Though there is no NSA meet in Virginia March 30, the popular Carolina Cup on March 29 often makes for a jockey shortage at both meets if they run head-tohead. Orange County went to a Sunday race a few years ago. The strategy has worked well, with full entries and a healthy rider population at both events since. The Orange County program kicks off with two junior field masters' chases (one for hilltoppers, one for jumpers), moving on to novice flat, maiden, restricted maiden, amateur and open hurdle, and novice and open timber.

Reading in Rappahannock County Haw you ever dknwwi that you haven't read a book that all your respected fnernb* consider superb' A friend loaned me “Crossing to Safety* saying “I can't believe vou haven't read this!" Seeing it on the back seat of my ear. another friend said. “I loved that book! You've read it. haven't youT Two days later, a friend paused by the kitchen table and exclaimed. “Crossing to Safety - thafk my all-time favorite bookT So. feeling a tittle ashamed, t added the paperback to my bedside pile. I'm glad 1 didn't read this book earlier in my life, t Am I Just rationalising?} The plot of “Crossing to Safety* concerns the evolving friendship of two couples over a lifetime. Charity and Sid Lang young married.** in the university town of Madison. Wise., befriend Sally and Larry who narrates the novel in first person. The two couples' careers rise and fall in the pressure cooker of college politics, their marriages grow in complexity and their friendships gain depth as they share the individual challenges of unemployment, polio and finally cancer. We all struggle with “couple friendships^ We like the husband better than thee wife or I like? thee wifi? but he doesn't cane for the husband. Or. we used to get atari* well but they've changed inot us>. As years go by we think and talk often about the other couple, worry about their relationship, their plana, their future. All these issues play ou t in Wallace Stegners brilliant prose. The reader accompanies the narrator through adult hie. witnessing the apparent roller coaster of the Lang marriage and its interface with the narrator and his wife. And. as in our own Bees, despite momentary discord. the long-term friendships mean the most, waiting there for us when times are tough, seeking us when support and nurture are needed. grown to know and love are not perfect, they have their admirable characteristics and their undesirable ones, but our time together has connected us in a way that cannot be unraveled, nor do we want it to be. Thus Stegner depicts the characters here, so that by the conclusion of the novel, we find ourselves knowing and caring about these imperfect people and feeling reluctant to leave them. The filter of RappahanThe BookRapp nock County highlighted the sotting of “Crossing to Safety.* Much of the novel takes place at the Lang family compound, in a rural area where the grandparents, siblings and grandchildren vacation each summer. The rituals and routines associated with their visits provide a familiar and enmfertahle welcome each year, regardless of the crisis. This recalls what many of us seek to create here in the county a refuge lor family events, surrounded by traditions that define what getting together with family means. . Wallace Stegner won the Pulit*er Prijse (or “Angle of Repose* and the National Book Award for “The Spectator Bird.* Written later. “Crossing to Safety* corroborates his incredible skill as a writer at the height of his powers.

DNA sampling and Internet access to information have made it easier for many to trace their ancestry back many generations. In the past, information gleaned front headstones in Jewish cemeteries helped genealogists make the same determinations. Not only do their Hebrew inscriptions contain the date of death and. sometimes, the deceased's age or date of birth, but they also are likely to include the name of the deceased's father. This information enables interested parties, to trace family origins back a generation. When several family headstones rest side by side, observers can literally trace back generations by following and comparing the inscribed information on consecutive headstones and. making calculations based on the Jewish calendar. Should you desire a traditional headstone, we can honor your request. No matter your religious or ethnic background, at MOSER FUNERAL HOME we are here to serve you. Contact us whenever you need to at (540) 547-3431. We will arrange an initial meeting and tour of our facility. We are located at 233 Broadview Ave.. Warrcnton.

Countryside ‘A little gem’ The Middle Street Gallery marks 25 years of struggles and triumphs By ( ;.\ky .VvruKs SpnciiU to thf Rappahiinnuck Mvws Rappahannock artist Steven Kennv has paintings in galleries around the world, but he says the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va„ is a special place for him. “I hke exhibiting there because 1 can really interact with the people who art1 seeing my work." said Kenny, president of the gallery. “And I like the camaraderie, being able to interact with the other members, hearing about what they are going through, their struggles and triumphs." The Middle Street Gallery — a 20-person, nonprofit artists’ cooperative — turns 2.r> this month, and it has had its share of struggles and triumphs. Members, most from Rappahannock and surrounding counties, tend to point to the triumphs — personal successes, skills learned, fond memories and gifts to the community. Christopher Stephens of Front Royal has been a member IS years. He said the gallery struggled to find its footing early on. not always able to realize the very high ideals of its members and plagued by high turnover. He said the gallery was like a “kid” when he joined, but over the years it has grown into “young adulthood.” Stephens, a landscape painter, fondly remembers driving into Washington one evening in 1989. before he was a member, and seeing the warm glow of light streaming from the gallery windows “a little gem sitting there " And he recalls he assigned one day a month tending the gallery at a time when Little Washington was essentially a ghost town. “It was kind i>t like a one-day retreat because it was so quiet.” he said. It was quite special because you were alone with your thoughts and other persons’ art works." Stephens said he has learned a lot from other' artists at the gallery .and has even incorporated some of it into his own works. “Something that has kept me a member." he said, “is that we have had consistently strong shows over the years, with few exceptions." Bonita Rauda Gowen, a painter from Flint Hill, said she "fantasized" about being, Photo by Gary Anthes Middle Street Gallery members, from left to right.

Now a member, she said, “The support of other artists means a lot, and the criticisms they give I take seriously. I'm not sure that I could be launching into a new medium and style - watermedia collage and abstract — without their encouragement.” Learning from others, helping others, pitching in to keep the gallery running — it's what distinguishes a cooperative from a commercial gallery, the members say. Barbara Heile, a painter from Washington. Va., put it this way: "Middle Street Gallery, as a cooperative, has given artists who are intensely individual a means to dialog and support one another in their individual work, while also creating something that the larger community can take part in.” And Heile added, “Being a non-profit gallery, we are free of the stress of believing we have to make a profit, and I would say this is very healthy. We manage to keep the heat and lights on. And for an artist and their guests, this can be enough. It is clearly about the giving and receiving of one’s art.” Dan Lewis of Woodville co-founded the gallery in the basement of Clopton House as a for-profit gallery in December 1981. In April 1983, he moved his gallery and framing shop across the street to its present location next to The Inn at Little Washington, in a building that dates to the 1740s and is thought to be the oldest building in the town. He converted the gallery to a nonprofit co-op in 1987 in order to free up more time for painting. “I'm surprised its lasted this long," he said. “It’s a tribute to the artists and the community. As long as the energy is there, I think it will go on indefinitely." The cooperative has taken its responsibilities to the community seriously over the years. It often opens its doors to non-member artists, giving some of them what would be their first opportunity to exhibit in a gallery. “And there have been many opportunities for schools to be involved," Kenny said. “Art classes come in for an hour or two and ask questions, and we talk to them about being an artist. I know that has been very helpful for some of them." Running a cooperative might seem a little like herding cats, except there is no cat herder at the Middle Street Gallery. FVesident Kenny insists he? is at most a coordinator, and he politely refuses, “except in an emergency,” to call the shots. -Janet Brome, a sculptor and painter from Bentonville, recalled. “After attending? the first few meetings. I remember thinking, Boy. this is loosey-goosey group! How do they ever pull off having? shows ' But, for an all-volunteer group, it works amazingly well. People always come through when needed." Appropriately enough, the works of member artists often focus on subjects from Rappahannock County, Piedmont Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains. But not always. Two years ago the gallery put on an exhibition called "TJn Rappahannock County, Virginia,” in which exhibited art showed the opposite of the county’s beautiful rural nature. Artists wishing to join the cooperative submit several works for review. Members debate the merit of the works and then give thumbs up or down. They look for artistic r excellence, of course, but they are especially on the lookout for people who show promise but are not fully mature artistically. Many members have long experience in the arts as hobbyists, art teachers or commercial artists. Often they already show at other galleries. ftaanter Laurie Marshall was a founding member of gallery in 1983. She said many of the original members were newcomers to the - county, part of the “back-tothe-land" movement of the 1970s. “Rappahannock, in fact the whole area, has attracted, per square mile, a very high number and caliber of artists,” she said. As an observer of the gallery these 25 years, she said, “It has struggled not having a full-time administrator and fund raiser. So it’s stayed a small, quiet gallery, but it’s maintained a caliber of work that is exceptional.” Small. Quiet. Exceptional quality. A little gem, you might say, and not a bad start on the next quarter century. The author, a photographer from Castle ton. is a member of The Middle Street Gallery. Audrey Andrist Classical piano recital Canadian pianist Audrey Andrist will play works by Schubert, Chopin, Schumann and Barber at the Theatre at Washington, Va. on Saturday, April 5, in a concert beginning at 8 p.m. This will be Andrist’s third appearance in Little Washington, and will be the first of two classical piano recitals to be held at the Theatre this spring.
