Warner touts bipartisanship in U.S. Senate run B\ Tara Si ate Donaldson RuppnhmuriH k N**wm StulfWnter A self-described 'unemployed job-seeker.' Murk Warner is once again approachin>r politics from a businessman's point of view, Warner, a tiirmer Virginia governor and current Democratic candidate tor US. Senute. sat down with a Rappahannock News reporter and other Times Community reporters lust Thursduy to talk about Virginia politics, oil prices and the business of government. “My view of* a fiscal conservative is someone who pays your bills on time and meets your obligations.' he said. 'You don't punt that to the next guy' It was one of many digs at his opponent. Republican Jim Gilmore, who preceded Warner as governor. As governor. Gilmore made good on his campaign promise to phase out the car tax but the endeavor proved to be tar more expensive than predicted. The massive car tax cuts, coupled with .spending increases, resulted in a huge hole in the budget that didn't materialize until utter Warner took office in 200SL Warner successfully pushed tor what he calls tax reform' and what Gilmore supporters call the hugest tax increase in our history' Over the last few weeks. Gilmore has been traveling the state, hammering away at his primary message that Warner raised taxes. Energy Asked about his top prior' ities if elected. Warner said Americans need to see their government actually accomplish something - anything. At the top of his list is energy. While we can't just turn our backs on oil. it's time to start looking at alternatives, he said, arguing that it is counter-productive to buy oil from countries that hate us. In the next century; the oil that is left will be harder to get to. more expensive and in places that aren't friendly to America. “Why ore we funding the guys who are attacking our troops'.* he asked. The best thing we can do in terms of showing support for our troops is stop funding the bod tfuys/ Drilling in Anwar, an idea supported by Gilmore, isn't a viable alternative. Warner said, partly because it would take 10 years before any oil coukl be obtained. Working to position his op* ponent as behind-the-times, Warner stud Gilmores pro* postils for more drilling are totally 20th-century solutions to a 21st-century problem.' We should concentrate, he said, on "doing what this country dues best: investing in innovation and then letting the market drive it.' In the short term, industry needs to invest in new research and development aimed at higher-mileage vehicles. The newest hybrids will get upwards of UH) miles to the gullon and could be ready to roll within 24 months, stud Warner, who drives a Lexus hybrid. In the king term, biofuels may be the wav to go, he said, but added that he doesn't think ethanol is a good idea, in port because sales of the corn-based gasoline additive affect the price of food. On that, he and Gilmore agree. Gilmore is also opposed to ethanol, though he has been painting Warner as a supporter of the additive. Warner did mention switchgrass. which grows abundantly in parts of Virginia, as a possible biofuel for the 21st century. That puts him firmly in the camp of President George W. Bush, who touted switchgrass during his State of' the Union address two years ago, But the Democratic candidate doesn't mind siding with Republicans.

Warner's track record on bipartisanship is well known and as he talked, he was still flying high from the recent endorsements of two of the state's most prominent Republicans: former state Sen. John Chichester and former Delegate Vince Callahan, the two must powerful men in the General Assembly under both Gilmore and Warner. Building on the Republican support he had as governor will be important if he wins the US. Senate seat. Warner said, pointing out that even if Democrats make a clean sweep of the White House. Senate and Congress in November, they won't be able to govern without the support of Republicans. “There needs to be a group of bipartisan radical centrists.' he said, suggesting that Americans are tired of the partisans on both suies who refuse to compromise or work wtth the opposing party. “1 think people are absolutely yearning to be part of sumothintr biggor than thotftsolvos.' ho said.

Audit Bureau of Circulations efenprappniwi.com THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 2008 Shed more light To light or not to light the athletic Helds—that is the question before the School Board and the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County. The Rappahannock County School Sports Association is putting on a full-court press to persuade the county government to sign on to a $511,000 deal that would finance the installation of lighting for night football, soccer, baseball and softball games at the athletic fields at the high school and elementary school. RCSSA argues that night games would increase . attendance, generate more ticket and concessions revenue, avoid exposing student athletes to playing in excessive heat, and answer objections of visiting teams that don’t want to cut into school time to come to Rappahannock to play during afternoons. Those benefits need to be balanced against the risks of the proposed deal, and the larger question of priorities in spending on school programs at the county's public schools. The School Board and the Board of Supervisors need to ask many probing questions before obligating the county to a 10-year-contract with its inherent risks. Here’s what RCSSA is proposing: The contractor, Musco Lighting, would erect towers topped by downshielded lights at the high school’s Panther Stadium, and at the softball and baseball fields behind the elementary school. The system would cost $395,000 if all three fields are included. The association says it will pay the full cost with donated funds. But it does not have $395,000 in hand, so it wants Rappahannock County (read: taxpayers) to sign a 10-year lease-purchase agreement guaranteeing payments to Musco. Under that deal, the cost would be financed over 10 years at an interest rate of about 4.9 percent, producing annual payments of about $51,000, or more than $511,000 total. These favorable terms—no money down, low interest rate—are available only if the county government signs the contract. If RCSSA itself is obligated, it would have to put 25 percent down (which it does not have) and pay a higher interest rate. Don’t worry, officials of RCSSA say, we’re going to raise all the funds needed for the payments; it won’t cost the county taxpayers a nickel. Excuse us, but we can’t help but worry about such promises. And wp think the School Board and the supervisors have a duty to scrutinize this deal carefully, and ask a lot of questions, before signing on the dotted line. If RCSSA falls short of its ambitious fund-raising goals, the county would be obligated to make the payments. What assurance is there that the association can raise that kind of cash—consistently, and over a full decade? The association claims it has an anonymous donor promising to give $22,000 annually over 10 years. But who is this generous person, and how sure can we be that the money will keep flowing for a decade? Even if it does, that leaves another $29,000 to be raised every year, in good times and bad, by RCSSA. Is that plausible? Beyond money matters, the proposal raises other issues. Will light pollution from the sports fields spoil Rappahannock’s famous dark night skies? Will large crowds generate noise, traffic, parking problems or rowdiness that would bother neighbors? What’s so bad about playing sports in the afternoon, anyway? During a year in which the county trimmed the school budget, squeezed teacher pay raises and eliminated jobs, what kind of message does it send to spend a half-million bucks on sports lights? Even if it isn’t the county’s money that’s spent, it looks like athletic programs are getting higher priority than teacher pay and school basics. We urge the School Board, which will take up the lighting plan June 27, and the supervisors, who likely will consider it July 7, to put this deal under a bright, searching light before obligating the county to it.

Priest From Page A1 parish. ^ In Renata Chapman's 25 years at St s. she has seen six pnests come and go. “Every tune a priest leaves it's a little sad because vou get to know him so well, and he gets to know you and vour family^ Chapman said. “But Barrels From Pago A1 . wanted U* said Stephanie DoNtcola-Tumer. Education and Information Coordinator for the CSWCD. The waiting oat is currently up to over 215 people in the tive-countv region. Sperryville residents Jim and Liz Blubaugh are some of the lucky ones, they have sis rain barrels collecting water from their root using the rain for watering Lia s vegetable and flower gardens. “We re trying very hard to minimize our carbon footprints, what we do. what we use, what we reuse, and recycling. We use very little water* said the couple. “We've always collected rainwater, but we used to do it in buckets. We were trying our very best to conserve, so it seemed the rain barrels were a natural connection.* Likewise. Lisa Crosley, who attended CSWCEfs rain barrel workshop in April at Mt. Vernon Farm, will use her rain barrel to conserve water, which otherwise could not be spared from her well. “Were starting a garden and wanted to have extra water for that." she said. “We’re on a well and we frequently run out of water at our house when it gets dry This way we could still have water for the house and water our plants, plus its environmentally friendly* Although the area has received ample rain from a string of recent storms, the Virginia Drought Monitoring Task Force reported that lower* than-normal ground water is “still cause for some concern as the growing season progresses.” “My sunflowers wasted away last summer because we were concerned about water. Rather than to use it on the flowers, we let them go,” said Mrs. Blubaugh. “I rally anticipated another hot, dry summer, and now my plants have a chance.” “We have to all think about this,” said Helen Williams. “If you live on a well and have a drought summer, you think about it. “My rain water will be for the gardens, but it wouldn't do anything for my 55 acres," she said. In 2007, the northern Piedmont received little over half of its normal rainfall totals, suffering through 12 r months of below-uverage precipitation. In October, Virginia Gov Tim Koine designated Rappahannock and other Virginia counties as drought disaster amts due to reductions in form production caused by drought and high temperatures. Tb conserve water and protect Virginias drying streams and ponds. Clean Virginia Waterways, a nonprofit organization based at Longwood University started the rain barrel program through a partnership with Mt. Olive Pickle Company of North Carolina. “They pickle in India and the U.S. says they can't use the barrels again, so they are basically a waste product. They either throw them out. or recycle them, or put them in storage* said DeNicolaTurner. “Mt. Olive happily said they would give us the barrels as long as we come to pick them up * The CSWCD got involved in the pickle barrel prqject last May, alter receiving a grant from the state, and gave away 100 barrels at its first workshop. The CSWCD held its latest rain barrel workshop on June 7 at the Madison County Fairgrounds. More than 35 Madison residents attended and purchased 67 rain barrels. During the workshops, each barrel is fitted with a faucet, an overflow adapter, and a screen for keeping out debris and mosquitoes. A hose can be used to connect barrels for overflow Depending on the sue of the roof the barrels can be filled to the brim with just a quarter of an inch of rain. A 1.200 square-foot roof could produce 700 gallons of water from just one inch of rain. “There's a part of the water code in the commonwealth that says that when water falls from the sky. if you collect it before it hits the ground, it belongs to you. If it hits the ground, it becomes property of the municipality and they con charge you for it." DeNicola-Tumer said. Besides saving money, there are a number of environmental benefits to using rain barrels. Runoff from outdoor watering can cause erosion. plus carry fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals into streams. Rain barrels manage peak storm runoff.

Artist Brown-Wing: Going with the flow Two-part drawing class in Spcrryvfflc to follow form, function By Betsy Parker Rappnhannuek Nhw, Staff Writer Give the dead monkey credit. It was a most unusual assignment: illustrate the layers of a scientific dissection ot a small monkey for a doctoral candidate at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, But it was that particular series of sketches that built artist Kate Brown-Wing’s “foscination with structure.” something that’s led her around the world and. most recently, to a Sperryville studio. And here, she is exploring yet another facet in the beauty of form — horses. What better place to set up shop as an artist, illustrator and teacher. Brown-Wing figures, than in the heart of Virginia’s horse country. Brown-Wing, an illustrator since 1986 — starting with scientific work for museums and foundations, then moving to book illustrations before taking on private commissions — will offer art classes at her new studio at the west end of town, including a two-part “drawing horses” class next month. The first course, she said, introduces “foundation drawing.” Part two takes an analytical approach < to equine anatomy. Brown-Wing has turned a concrete-floored commercial space — former home to Cooter’s Garage — into something with heart and personality: The 20-by-4Q space bursts with color, point pots and brushes Littering every surface, while artwork — some complete, some halfbegun — hangs from every wall. Everywhere there are sijps of the nature that drives Brown-Wing’s creativity — here an orchid nearing frill bloom, there on interesting rock. Outside the picture windows lies a verdant riverside meadow. And over in the corner stands her miniature horse Firefly chestnut ears atwitch as he earns his keep as a living model for BrownWing's student this rainy day "He's small enough that we can just bring him inside the studio," Brown-Wing said as she leads the tiny horse — just 30 inches tall — into the jumbled space. “He’ll be fine. Just give him a carrot." Mini carrots, sized right for the mini horse, keep the gelding occupied os student Amanda Harry assembles paper and pencils to prepare for doss. Firefly peers over the tall drafting table where Harry works, but otherwise Rappahannock Nairn Staff Photo/Batay Parker TALKING POINTS: Artist Kate Brown-Wing reveals the literal form of her equine subject Firefly. She paints his skeleton to show a student how to draw structure. BrownWing began her art career as a scientific illustrator. stands at attention while Brown-Wing traces his body to show Harry “where to start” her pencil drawing. “To be an effective artist, feel the horses bone structure, literally if you am, to determine his form,” BrownWing said, placing sticky notes at the point of Firefly's shoulder, and hip, and dotting the bones of his neck and spine with white tempura puint. “That gives you an indication of how he is put together, gives you a flow of movement. “I want you to look. Really look at that horse’s head. Don’t think about what you ‘know’ about hone heads, but really see what’s in front of you. Breathe. Really breathe. It helps unclog your brain.” Harry sketches away tracing then erasing the lines of Firefly’s hind leg as BrownWing lilts his hoof to show her changing form with movement. “Start with the simple shapes,” she said. “For the head, maybe a rectangle. Then, later, you chisel it away and reveal the form of the horse’s face. Get the bask structure and architecture first.” Horses & People Morven plans Historic Morven Park in Leesburg will host a Civil War re-enactment camp this weekend, June 21-22.

Steeplechasing and steroids — new rules The National Steeplechase Association approved a rule banning the use of all androgenic and anabolic steroids, with the exception of four therapeutic medications. The NSA follows tin- path of the Delaware Racing Commission, which adopted a similar steroid policy in advance of the opening of Delaware Park's 2008 season April 18. The use of steroids in the racing industry has come under increased scrutiny of late, particularly in light of Big Brown’s surprising Triple Crown loss in which his trainer publicly stated that the colt had been taken off regular steroid injections. “It’s really unavoidable at this stage said NBAs director of racing Bill Gallo. “With all that is going on in the world of Thoroughbred racing, we just folt the need to follow suit and be proactive. The rules are based on the MidAtlantic guidelines, and when they made the move we felt it was the right thing to do and follow them. We actually use the same testing lab as Delaware Park and we typically follow their lead, so this made a lot of sense."

It enhances your observational skills, and when you spend time with your horse you'll begin to understand his experience.*’ Bribing Firefly with another carrot, the teacher steps around the table. “How’re you doing over there,” Brown-Wing asked Harry; bent in concentration over the drafting table. “I think he needs more...” Harry pauses. “More what?” BrownWing asked, peering over Harry's shoulder to see the pencil sketch. “More booty.” Harry looks up at Firefly’s red rump. “Definitely more booty” “Yeah,” Brown-Wing said with a Laugh, circling the table to place another sticky note on the top of Firefly’s rump. “He’s pretty round. You’ll do a lot of that — draw something that you think’ is right (in a horse sketchl, then you’ll look, and really study the horse in front of you and you’ll realize the proportion is wrong. That’s what art is all about. Observation.” The horse-drawing course begins July 5, running Wednesdays 6-8 p.m. and Saturdays 5-7 p.m. Brown-Wing’s studio is at 11692 Lee Highway.

Much of this reluctance can be traced to early Christian funeral practices. which generally regarded cremation as an affront to the hope of the resurrection of the body. This notion is largely based on the Jewish precedent of the earth burial (including Jesus' own entombment) and Greek notions of liberation of the soul from the body. This anti-cremation stance hardened into doctrine and was enshrined in liturgy and canon law. Today, however, most Christians now regard cremation as an alternative to earth burial. This changing stance reflects evolving ideas about death and adapting American lifestyles. Cremation may be your choice. However, whatever your decision may be.

More than 120 people attended this first-time event which the sponsors plan to make into an annual affair—like the wellknown and highly-popular “Taste of Rappahannock.” Saturday evening's event held at The Link in the old School House in WINE LOVERS: Aleta and Bill Gadino offer samples of their wines from Gadino Cellars in Washington at the Scrabble School benefit. Sperryville attracted a large and lively group, despite earlier heavy rain and storms. The community stepped up to support this benefit for the Scrabble School Foundation which was set up in 2001 to save the historic Scrabble School building and establish a repository for the history and legacy of African-American students who attended the school before schools were integrated in the mid-1960s. The building is being rehabbed and will serve a dual purpose as a Senior Center and a Heritage Center when it is reopened next year. The sponsors of Gourmet Rappahannock chose to serve “tapas” - appetizers and other goodies as the mainstay of their menu.

Adult and children actors, singers needed for ‘The Three Kings’ play Spark! (formerly Ki Theater) will hold auditions on Sunday, June 29 at 3 p.m. at the Ki Theatre on Gay Street in Washington for the December performances of “The Three Kings’' play. “This may seem a little early," said director Peter Hombostel, “but we thought the actors and singers might have some fun thinking about the play and their parts over the summer. They might even get started on the songs.” “The Three Kings” is one of a cycle of three plays performed at Christmas by townspeople in Germany in medieval times. Ki Theater presented it once several years ago. The cycle also includes the beloved “Shepherd’s Play” which Ki performed for the community many times over the years. “The Three Kings’ involves the journey of the three kings to Bethlehem, the wise men (or women) and the evil King Herod. The play includes a chorus and a good bit of singing; many of the songs will be familiar to the audience since they are the same as in “The Shepherd’s Play.* “This is a community play,* Hombostel said, “and we have changed the script a little to make sure that everyone who wants to perform gets a part. We’ve added a whole bunch of kids’ parts, and at least some of the wise men may actually be women. We may even have some sheep. The idea is for everyone, cast and audience alike, to have a good time.” The auditions on June 29 will be important for casting and in planning the play. Interested persons are urged to attend. If you cannot be there, please call Peter Hombostel at (540) 987-9620 and leave a message, or Stephani Mastri, the associate director, at (540) 341-7570. Rehearsals will start in September. And please call if you would like to help with designing and building sets, making costumes or props and/or other backstage activities. ‘Drinks and Grazing5 evening at The Meadows to benefit CCLC John and Beverly Sullivan of Washington and the board of the Child Care and Learning Center are inviting everyone to “Drinks and Grazing” on Saturday, July 12 at 7 p.m. at the Sullivan’s home.
