Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Drew Anthony Smith 2008 budget vote set for June 24 By Jason Peck Rappahannock News Staff Writer Within three weeks the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet to approve their budget — and possibly a tax increase. But supervisors are still arguing over whether they’ll raise the real estate tax from $.59 to $.60. On the one hand, Supervisor Bryant Lee said that supervisors could avoid the tax increase if they delayed some of Rappahannock's construction projects. “I think it would be nice to have one year where we had no increase,” Bryant said at a public hearing Monday night on the proposed fiscal year 2008 budget and tax rate. On the other hand, other board members questioned how much such a move would actually save taxpayers, since the county Next step The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will vote on their budget and the tax rate on Tuesday, June 24 at 6 p.m. in the county courthouse. would still pay thousands in rent. “One of the problems is that the federal government has cut back funds to Rappahannock County,” Supervisor Roger Welch said. ‘‘The state government has drastically cut their funds, and we don’t have any more money to work with.” The one -cent increase would raise about $165,000. If approved, those new funds would go toward See BUDGET, Page A6 Gala benefits Emily Jane Hilscher award fund By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer The essence of Emily Jane Hilscher will live on if the guests who attended a lavish benefit dinner Saturday have anything to do with it. Some 140 Rappahannock residents forked over $100 each to dine on an elaborate four-course dinner which was cooked and catered by Rappahannock high school's current and former culinary arts students. The festive evening featured Rappahannock wines paired with each course and an auction of items appealing to horse lovers and gourmet buffs. It was held at the old Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington. The dinner was the idea of chef and culinary arts teacher Mary Arthur who said, simply, she wanted to do something for Emily. It cleared $25,000 for the Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Award fund which already had $15,000. The award was named after Emily, a 2006 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, who was the first of 32 victims in the shootings at Virginia Tech in April a year ago.

Stonewall Abbey cafe opens in Sperryville By Drew Anthony Smith Rappahannock News Staff Writer The folks over at Stonewall Abbey, the new cafe and gift shop on Main Street in Sperryville, have taken their new business one step at a time, and they don’t see their journey ending anytime soon. This past Saturday was its grand opening in a 105-year-old building that originally was the Episcopal Church in Sperryville. But the cafe had been open for business for the previous week. “[The opening has gone] pretty well, pretty busy. Last weekend was exceptionally busy with the long weekend,” said Donna Compton, who is in charge of the kitchen. She and her husband, David, and son Brian, 28, of Amissville have followed their dream to open the cafe in the old church. The Comptons purchased the building in January 2007, a few weeks after the Old Sperryville Bookshop closed at the end of the previous year. That was step one, with a timeconsuming next step to follow. The church shell that houses the cafe is an historic building, which makes for a slow renovation process. “Most of what we did is under the building,” said Donna Compton referring to the wiring and plumbing for the redone kitchen and bathroom. The most obvious additions on the outside include a new front entrance where the original door to the church was, a wheelchair ramp, and a patio for outside dining. Inside, the bright, open loti of the chapel still About Stonewall Abbey Cafe Open: Seven days a week Hours: Mon-Thurs 7 a.m.-5 p.m.; FriSat 7 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun-noon-5 p.m. Phone number: 540-987-9875 Photo oy E Raymond Boc GRAND OPENING: Colorful balloons signal the formal opening Saturday of the Stonewall Abbey Cafe in Sperryville owned and operated by the Compton family - Donna Compton, left, son, Brian, and his father, David, not shown. remains. Coolers and counters inhabit one end of the single room and a small stage for perform ances on the other with tables, chairs, and a row of computers for public use in the middle. Served at the food counter are an array of pastries, sandwiches, ice creams, salads, and. of course, coffee drinks. Keeping it local, most of Stonewall Abbey’s coffee comes from Central Coffee Roasters, a company that roasts the beans just down the road. The ice cream, called Blue Bunny, is a big hit. It comes in several flavors from Iowa where David Compton was raised on a farm In addition to made to order food and drinks, the store has also filled some space with packaged food and small gifts made by various artists. “The reaction is positive, people are very thrilled about it,” said Donna Compton. Even after the long road it has been to the grand opening weekend. Stonewall Abbey cafe is not slowing dow n. "Were gonna expand as we go along, see what the needs are," said Donna Compton. Yes, it seems the Comptons are going to go the extra mile.

Faces fRappahannock Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Drew Anthony Smith Sheriff Connie Compton Smith By Drew Anthony Smith Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most know Amissville’s Connie Compton Smith as simply Sheriff Smith. However, she is a lot more than the badge she wears. This reporter, who is no relation to Smith, had the privilege of sitting down with her this week and finding out more about the woman who keeps Rappahannock County safe. • Age: 40 • Birthplace: Castleton, 2.5 miles from where she now resides • Family: Seven brothers and sisters in the immediate area with two more in Florida; married for five years; three grown-up step children • Favorite movies: “Gods and Generals,” and “Cold Mountain” • Favorite music: Now, the country stations. Back in high school, rap and Michael Jackson. • Last book read: Let’s Roll’ by Lisa Beamer. • ftirwrite television programs: Lots of sports and reality shows. Last weekend, Women’s College Softball. • Favorite breakfast cereal: Raisin Bran • Hobbies: Volunteer EMT firefighter, spending time with family, and watching kids play softball. • Bad habits: (With a laugh) “Well say none, no one ever likes to admit those.” • Brings a smile to her face: Kids...and my husband. • First waking thought: What’s gonna happen today? • Hero: My mom. She was a good woman, a good Christian woman and everybody loved her. • Job: Obviously, Sheriff for Rappahannock County • Why interested in law enforcement: In school, we had a career day and some law enforcement agents were there. I talked to them, then after high school, I got a dispatcher job and worked my way through the ranks. • Favorite part of the job: The kids. I try to stay close with kids in the community, which may inspire them to do the right thing. • Worst part of the job: Having to deliver death messages. It’s never easy. Any police officer you talk to, they’ll agree. • Funny story from the field: Another officer and Smith witnessed a truck go through a stop sign. They pursued, which consequently made the truck speed off and eventually pull into a parking lot. The two passengers of the truck jumped out to run away and the two officers followed. Smith followed her suspect through a pig path. She stepped in a hole, fell, and got “pig crap all over [her].” For a job that can bring incredible stress and tragic and dangerous situations, Connie Compton Smith has been able to handle the responsibilities and stay dedicated to her community. After speaking with Smith and hearing how much time she devotes to duties, meetings, calls, and her staff, the position she acquired last November was the next step in helping the community in which she grew up to prosper. Next time you see ,4, Sheriff Smith on the street, say ‘Hello.’ You may find you have more to talk about with her. DRIVE IN... DRIVE OVER...

He is required to do service projects all along the way, culminating in a final project specifically to benefit the community. Because of a long-standing association with die Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company Robbie chose to refurbish a storage room in the basement of the Fire House as his project. Along with help from fellow scouts, scout leaders, members of the fire company, and his parents, Robbie built shelves, improved the lighting, and organized fire department equipment and training materials. He also sorted mid made easily accessible the paraphernalia necessary to put on the Fire Departments annual fund-raising carnival. The 19-year-old 2007 Rappahannock High School grad started in the scout program as a Tiger Cub in 1st grade. Since then he has earned 25 badges, spent several summers at Camp Rock Flnon, and participated in numerous scout-sponsored trips including an allnight hike up Old Rag, a weekend trip to the Naval Yards in Hampton Roads, three days at Niagara Falls, and many, many camp outs at Col. Dickey's in Huntly. He has been a regular attendee of the weekly scout meetings; has parked cars for the Trinity Episcopal Church House Tour, both Washington’s and Sperryville’s Fourth of July celebrations, and Flint Hill Fire department’s carnival; has represented the scouts in several parades; and has been part of the Color Guard at the High School’s Veterans’ Day Celebrations.

They were expecting to see gushy remarks about why the editor returned and how much she missed being away. That is all very true but we want to take note in this space of something we found to be extraordinary. Sappy or not, here goes. This is about Mary Arthur, who has cooked for two governors and in her past life was the personal chef for the governor of Alaska. When she came to Rappahannock, she started the culinary arts program at Rappahannock High School and begged and borrowed the equipment to set up a commercial kitchen for her students. She held a benefit dinner to get funds for the exhaust hood. Prior to that, she was a top chef at the Inn at Little Washington. As much as we Rappahannockers love food, whether it is pigging out at a covered dish supper or dining on tiny morsels at our famous inn there was anmething quite remarkable about the dinner Arthur and her RCHS culinary students created, cooked and catered at the Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Award benefit over the weekend. It was a stunning event and perfectly orchestrated. In addition to Chef Arthur, some 45 students and teachers worked the event including 15 former students, 14 current ones and 15 current and former faculty members. Imagine producing this event and plating a four-course dinner for 140 persons. It would take 560 plates, 280 wine glasses and 140 water glasses. The numbers are boggling. The students prepped and cooked the food in the high school kitchen and brought it over to the old Washington School in warming trays. The idea* for this dinner was Arthur’s. Why? She says she wanted to do something special for Emily Hilscher who was a friend and former student. Arthur and her students and volunteers gave our community and the Hilscher family something that may help make some sense out of something senseless, the tragic loss of Emily Hilscher’s life in the Virginia Tech shootings last April. Unexpected visitor Michelle Williams of Chester Gap took these photos of a bear in her back yard recently. mr*rm ■JSmiiM aSaaeSiaiiy Photo courtesy at Paul Henze Easter 1996, Rock Mills As of June 7, graduation day, seven grandchildren of Paul and Martha Henze will have graduated from Rappahannock County High School.

Sara, Albert, Ellie and Emma are the children of Martin Henze and Laura Dodd; Daniel and Ben are the sons of Libet Henze and Roger Pierson; James Henze is the son of Alex Henze and Candy Wroth. Back in the late '60s, Paul and Martha Henze and their six children would head for the hills of Rappahannock almost every weekend from their home in Glen Echo, Md. Soon, they fell in love with an old, crumbling farmstead near Rock Mills and bought it. Since then, the Henzes and three of their children have chosen to make Rappahannock their home. , Letters ‘Thank you all for your contributions’ Late in 2007 when a dinner to benefit the Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Award Fund was first envisioned, I had no idea what we were starting. The Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Award was set up by the Hilscher family to honor Emily’s memory and is given to spirited young people in Rappahannock county who are excited about pursuing their dreams - the kind of people whose special spark Emily shared and would have recognized. The outpouring of support for this benefit event held last Saturday has been overwhelming, from the Girl Scouts who folded the napkins, Emily’s classmates and friends who came from as far away as Arizona to assist with the event, and many others who contributed to the success of the evening. Thank you to Beth and Eric Hilscher for giving their blessing and trusting us with the execution of this event. I am eternally grateful. And to Headwaters for their support and assistance with the planning and organization of the dinner. To Sally Cunningham who donated and provided the beautiful flowers for this event and Terri Lehman and Epicurious Cow for donating ingredients and beverages for the dinner. Thank you to Tommy Pendelton for providing the amazing artwork for the program; to Amy Silver O’Leary for all her work on the invitations and the program; and to Anita Raiford for her administrative support and wine expertise. Thank you to Roseanne Sharp and CCLC for allowing us to use the Washington School and Richard Lykes for his spectacular photography skills. Special thanks to event “Benefactors” Griffin Tavern, The Hampton Foundation, Carl and Merle Hilscher, Rose Hill Veterinary Practice, and Rappahannock National Bank. I would also like to thank all the businesses and individuals who contributed their services and products to the auction. And, of course, no event can take place without the many volunteers who showed up to set-up, polish glasses, check-in guests, park cars, prepare food, serve food and wine, plate, do dishes and clean-up. Many, many thanks to ail those community members, current and former RCHS teachers, administrators, RCHS alumni and current students, and dedicated horticulture and building trades students who made all these components of the event take place. And to my culinary arts students who prepared food, set tables and put up with my manic personality in the days leading up to this event. And a special thank you to Cole Johnson for her phenomenal organizational skills, her tireless dedication and attention to the details I forgot and for making this event a reality. I am overwhelmed and grateful for the contributions of all who made “An Evening for Passion” a resounding success and contributed to the Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Award Fund, an award allowing young people of Rappahannock County to follow their dreams. My sincere apologies if I have overlooked anyone and thank you all for your contributions. Mary Arthur RCHS Culinary Arts Teacher ‘Only news that makes the papers is news of the wealthiest residents’ I have been a resident of Rappahannock for seven and a half years now. I read the paper each week with hope for some interesting news. I must honestly say as the weeks go on, I feel as if my 50 cents is being wasted. For one thing, the only news that^makes the papers is the news of the wealthiest residents. With that aside, one peculiar example of why I am disappointed is because of our school news. Where I was raised the A, B honor roll students always got recognized in the local paper. The many times my daughter made the honor roll I never found the recognition that she worked for. She is now in high school and she worked very hard to achieve straight As. My son who is also in high school made As and B's for his whole first semester, I am very proud of my children. Now this wouldn’t be much of an issue to me, except for the fact about two weeks ago, while reading the paper, I read about the A and B honor roll in the elementary school. Where was the high school students accomplishments, my daughter had straight A’s and first semester my son had A’s and B’s. If you are going to mention one school’s accomplishments, isn’t it fair to mention both. Not to mention the sports report. This paper covers very little on our sports. Come on, maybe a little more support would give more moral. To balance out the boring news. I would also like to hear from our children. I would like to hear their views and thoughts on our current events, their feelings from the war to the presidential campaign, their thoughts on earth day and saving our world, from the youngsters to our oldest. Why not give a column just to our children. It's their future and it would be worth my 50 cents. From what I’ve read lately our paper has been full of who cares news and less of what we should be caring about, our future, our children. . Crystal Ramey Castleton j-SSSS!*®* We had a great time at the “Fourth Annual Community Conversation on Aging" on April 24. The Link in Sperryville was a perfect setting, and the hard work and efforts of many people helped us recognize all the accomplishments of the past year and focus on the work ahead. I would like to thank the hardworking members of the Elder Care Coalition who helped set-up and clean-up.

Budget From Page A1 the county’s General Fund and upgrades to the radio system. The public hearing drew only one commentator. Tom Junk of Sperryville, who said that he approved of the board action overall, but urged supervisors to consider the needy when arguing over the tax increase. “There’s a goodly number of people not attending these meetings that are having a hard time with any increase at all. with fuel increases and things tike that** Junk said. The budget comes to little more than $22 million, about $2 million more than last year. County Administrator John McCarthy said. Much of the $2 million increase comes from one-time capital projects, including: • $500,000 to close a cell in the landfill. • $500,000 for the Scrabble school project. • $885,000 for upgrades to the radio system. • $95,000 for the Civil War trails project. However, most of that $2 million would be paid through grants or savings, added McCarthy. The budget has no new positions or programs. However, it does include a three percent pay increase for county employees. "Two million dollars is a substantial amount of spending for a county of this size,'' McCarthy said. “We d rather not have had all in one year; it just all came through at once."

Rappahannock’s treasures discovered by The Washington Post Some of what we all treasure in Rappahannock County has been discovered by The Washington Post. On May 14, the Shopping Cart of the Fbod section featured what many of us know so well, that famous Virginia Chutney, of the company of the same name, in ‘Little* Washington. Available at all East coast Whole Foods stores, we just need to go to Sperryville Barbara Adolfi adolfibarbara# veriron.net (540) 9878682 Roy’s in Old Hollow or to Mt. Vernon Fann to buy this tasty treat. It is available in plum, rhubarb, mango, sweet peach and hot peach flavors. riy 5 acres in the center of sold separately! $425,000 On May 15, the Home Section featured an article entitled, ‘A House Handmade and Eco-Harmonious,’ which gave readers the history and took them on a photo tour, of Jeanne Drevas’ home built in 1972 on a foundation of 10 fallen locust - trees erected without heavy equipment. The house is ‘eco-friendly, and eccentric, a singular shelter inspired by artistry penury and, by 1989, matrimony’ Jeanne’s marriage to Carl Aplin heralded the installation of indoor plumbing into this hippie house and even more creativity in the unique sinks and tiles made by Jeanne. In more recent years Carl’s talent as a fine woodworker has added another dimension to the home as seen in the exquisite Jupunese style inlay wooden table that rises up from the floor. If there is anyone in Rappahannock who has not yet visited this home, be sure to go there on the RAAC Art Tour in November or for the Christmas sale. To read the entire article about this house, go to the Post Web site and search for ‘Drevas eco-harmunious.’ The May 14 food section feature article on wild food foraging and cooking in Lexington could equally have been about our own expert on wild food foraging in Rappahannock. Theresa Boardwine is a licensed clinical herbalist, who has foraging workshops in April of each year. The end result is a tasty meal and an appreciation for free, organic food in our forests. How many of us have cursed the proliferation of garlic mustard greens in our yards and gardens? If you saut£ some in early spring, you will have an entirely different view of this plant — guaranteed! Theresa is a teacher who conducts workshops and classes in her 30- foot yurt on Rock Mills Road.

MainStreet renaissance continues The grand openings of Stonewall Abbey Cafe and Gift Shop and the corporate office of Flavor magazine on Main Street on Saturday were yet more evidence of the vitality and diversity of our little village. The entire Compton family at the cafe? served quite a crowd all day and Ruby Dwyer marveled at the light and beauty of the restoration of the old church. Just across the street Melissa Harris served several varieties of locally made goat cheese, meatballs from the Miller farm and Sherri Fickel’s artisan bread, all in keeping with the theme of the magazine to celebrate the products of the Piedmont. More quietly, both the Shadowrock Guest House (www.vrbo.com/176928) and Mr. Pumphreys newly renovated ‘Summer Kitchen’ house (www.vrbo.com/183436), both on Main Street, have begun serving visitors to Sperryville. The Friday sampling of Sabre’s exquisite French custard swans, tiramisu and baklava at Fellegatta’s introduced another quality Main Street service. Yet, Main Street still has many family homes, and it is that mix of business and residential which makes it such a special place. The annual Sperryville Volunteer Fire department parade along Main Street on Friday brought the community together to enjoy a perfect late spring evening.

It also plays an every increasing important role in the deaths of those same individuals. While funerals used to he solely associated with solemn organ music, many people who preplan their funerals are making personal choices about the music that will be played at their services. This is done with compl te understanding of music's ability to affect mood. Pre-planners choose to utilize this mood-altering ability to shape the way that people will remember them and their final day together. This is but one of the many ways that people can personalize their funerals, which should reflect the individuality that they exuded during their lives. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we will honor your wishes regarding the specifics of the commemoration service. Music can be a powerful addition to whatever sort of remembrance you desire. Let us review the wide variety of options available to you when pre-planning. Contact us at (54(1) 347-3431. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting. We are located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. No detail is too large or too small for us to Iwndle. "/ thank God for my handicaps, for. through them.

Barbara Heile’s exhibit is Slot to be missed* By Robert H. Ballard Special to the Rappahannock Now# Barbara Haile, a well-respected Rappahannock artist, opens a show of new work entitled “Grounding in Open Space* on June 6 at the Middle Street Gallery in the town of Washington. An opening reception tor the artist will take place Saturday, June ?, from 3 to 6 p.m. The public is invited. This is the artist's first show at the Middle Street Gallery though she has exhibited widely throughout the county for aver a decade. It runs through June 29. This current group of paintings concentrates on the landscape around the artist's home outside of “Little” Washington. The work that will be on view consists of small to large paintings that interrelate to each other, the smaller pieces often being studies for the larger ones. Heiles work has taken many subject-related turns over her careen but her bold use of color applied with brush or palette knifo is always exuberant and intuitive. These new works have an even more specific and structured relatedness that illustrates the artist’s concern with space and color and how the two work together to create a whole. Though some works, like “Magenta Winter,'* verge on abstraction and the simplification of forms and color, other works^hold a firm grip on a readable landscape as in “Our Tbwn." an image from the hill above the artist’s home looking toward Washington. 'Phis work owes a great deal to the artist Paul Cezanne, as do others, but the use of color is her own. Other paintings, such as “Evening with Gustav Klimt.” has the titled artists color influence with a little Pierre Bonnard. That said, the works are not mere pastiches of the above artists, but intuitive referential expressions that cany her vision forward and thus make her work stronger. Most of the smaller works were done “plein air,” while the larger pieces, uften referencing the smaller ones, are worked in the studio, sometimes being taken outside for a check on nature's light, color and space. The artist’s puinting “Morning Walk.” a powerful work, has large dominate color forms, with what she terms her neigh' bor s bullet-like morning stroll with his dog, a daily event she captures with grace and strength. It is an example of real action caught in color and form. The beauty and color of these works can be experienced close up as color and textural events, or from a distance as landscape inspired structures. 'Phis is a beautiful and complete group of paintings that has allowed Heile to establish herself in her new landscape and foel grounded but still able to paint intuitively. 'Phis is an exhibition not be missed. OUR TOWft: Barbara Heile's painting is from the hill above her home looking toward “Little Washington." It is featured in her exhibit beginning June 6 at the Middle Street Gallery. BELOW RIGHT. “Magenta Winter - An Evening with Klimt" 24x24; oil on panel.
