Gates open at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 4. 4th of July celebration to be ‘bigger and better’ By Alexander Sharp VIII Speoal to the Rappahannock News “Last year put Rappahannock back on the map for fireworks,” said Robert Glasker of Bobby G. and Friends. the band slated to play from T p.m. until the fireworks show ■July 4 at Thornton Hill Farm, three miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. “We expect another record turnout. I think this year will be better than last.” he said. Glasker is both singer and guitarist tor Bobby G and Friends, a well known local blues band which includes a drununer. bassist, and second jguitar player - all local musicians. The band describes itself as “a little^ mixture of Blues, R&B, and Soul" that specializes in old familiar tunes.

Hurt Hollow will play from 2 to 3 pun.; Ben Mason will play originals about Rappahannock from 3 to 4 p.m.; and The Shenandoah Travellers will play from 4 to 7 p.m., followed by Bobby G and Friends. “Last year was close to perfect,” said Bill Fletcher, owner of Thornton Hill Farm, some 100 acres of picturesque rolling pasture. “This year the event organizers are already doing a better job.” According to Fletcher, those in attendance should expect “more music, more food, more views, and better parking.” Fletcher attributes the improvements this year to a dedicated Rappahannock County Fourth of July Committee and the hard work of the Thornton Hill Hounds Hunt Ci^b.l iost of the event. “There has been more interest this year," said Richie Burke, cochairman of the committee. “Interest has peaked. There will be more vendors, and a lot more food." Those in attendance will not leave hungry.

See JULY 4, Page A2 Supervisors approve $22 million budget By Jason Peck Rapoahannock. News Staff Writer By a 4-1 vote. Rappahannock County supervisors approved a $22 million operating budget for the 2009 fiscal year which begins July 1. By another 4-1 vote, they approved a one-cent increase in the real estate tax rate, raising the amount from 59 cents to 60 cents' Supervisor Roger Welch voted against both measures at a meeting Tuesday, and suggested across-the-board cuts as a possible solution. But Supervisor Ron Frazier said that such a move came too late. “II we were going to do an across-the-board cut. we should have done it," Frazier said. • See BUDGET, Page A2 Bids due July 2 to build town’s wastewater system By Timothy R. Thompson Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town.of Washington hopefully will have a wastewater treatment plant in the next 18 months if there are no glitches. Construction bids are due by July 2; however, there will not be a decision on the winning bidder at the July 9 Town Council meeting. The town has up to 90 days to approve and award the contract. Mayor Eugene Leggett said in an interview this week that “once the contract is awarded work will start immediately, with construction scheduled to take no more than 330 days (providing no set backs).” There are many more steps once the bids are in including reviews by engineers and attorneys. “At the earliest, we are looking at August.” to determine the winning bidder, said Laura Dodd, town clerk. “Currently the town is on septic with many people wanting to get off of the current system,” said Leggett. Many of the town's septic systems are failing. Washington has been looking into a waste «. tinimi plant since 1991. According to Dodd, the first feasibility study was done that year, “with many more since then. This has been a topic of most monthly council meetings.” There has been a lot of work done on the system over the years, according to the mayor. “Some work has been carefully recorded, and some has not," he said. “If you have a water system you can get by without a sewage system, ami if you have a sewage system you can get by without a water system. But we are reaching a place where we need to have both,” said Leggett. The town has had a water system since 1930 and over the past two years “we have doubled the size of the reservoir from 100,000 gallons to 225,000 gallons." said the mayor.

Society £ _ From Page A1 final resting place inadvertently relocated to some other venue? Could be a bit ‘‘unsettling,'* leaving the departed to wish that some future traveler might return the monument to its rightful place. In a special event on Sunday, July 13 from 2-5 p.m., the Rappahannock Historical Society will fulfill one such wish at “The Meadows,' the home of John Fox and Beverly Sullivan, in Washington. Join us for an “other-worldly” experience, “An Afternoon lb Die For,” that will focus on the importance of historic cemeteries and will feature the return of a “misplaced” tombstone to a family plot on the property. In addition to tours of a portion of the historic home, the program will include: • The lives of the residents of the Porter/Almond and Strother cemeteries on the property; • Divining for Graves by Lory Fhyne; • The Historical Society's Cemetery Project (over 500 sites already identified) by Misty Wright; "• Cemetery Identification & Cleaning by Wayne Baldwin; • Tales Beyond The Grave, Rappahannock County ghost stories by various believers; • The History of Mourning Clothes, Jewelry; etc. by Susan Williams; • Debut of the RHS Blue Plaque Program, commemorative markers for historic homes (as well as ones that will become historic). A highlight of the afternoon will be the return of the tombstone of Ann Porter Almond with the Rev. Phil Bailey and a reflection on the lives of the Strother family at their cemetery by the Rev. Jenks Hobson. Music by Evergreen Shade and delectable finger foods will round out the event. Nestled behind Main Street, at the foot of fbrter Street, sits The Meadows, one of the oldest homes in Washington. This stately, ibistorjc home had its beginI I 1 nings as a IVfe-story log cabin built circa 1750. In the early 1800’s the addition of a 2Hstory weather boarded house created the grand residence that we know today. Divining technique Lory Payne, using the centuries-old technique known as divining, has located several graves on the property. This process is somewhat similar to that used in dousing when looking for water, however in divining there also seems to be a spiritual element involved. It is thought that the magnetism of the earth creates energy fields that can be detected via special divining rods. Some individuals, such as Payne, are particularly attuned to these energy fields. One of the graves that Payne has located is that of Ann Porto: Almond. Ann, the daughter of William and Sarah Porter, was bom in 1794 on the property that contained the home that was later named “The Meadows.” Ann married William Almond in 1842 at the age of 48 years. Shortly thereafter they became owners of “The Meadows.” Ann Almond died in 1850 and was buried in the family cemetery. Some years ago, Aim Ruter Almond’s tombstone was removed from its original sight and given to the Washington Museum who donated it to RHS. The Sullivans graciously agreed to allow the historical society to return it to the Fbrtez/ Almond cemetery. Judge James French Strother II purchased the property in 1872 and it remained in the Strother family until 1946. From the early 1800s, members of the Strother family have been involved in national and Virginia politics; and several were in the law profession in Rappahannock County and elsewhere. Evidence suggests that tombstones were removed from the Strother family graveyard and placed in the Culpeper Masonic Cemetery. Mourning in the 19th century meant many things to the social fiber of the times. Colonial America iPtumiii'Jin, t—iMWJit j ■ <111111 focused on physical death with images of skulls and coffins. By the 1830’s the interest was changed to the spiritual realm with symbols of angels and doves, becoming more about the living than the dead. Susan Williams will discuss and demonstrate clothing, jewelry, and other important aspects of mourning. The Historical Society is initiating the Blue Plaque Program, a new program that will make available very attractive building markers for both historic and modem buildings. This society fundraiser will allow residents to label their properties in a very unique foshion. Applications with description and requirements will be available on July 13. Tickets to this event are on sale at the Rappahannock Historical Society at 328 Gay St., Monday; Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a m to 5 p.m. They are also available by mail, phone or at the event Prices are $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Children 6-12 will be admitted for $10. A Lone Star double bed quilt is being raffled with chances at $5 each. July 4_ From Page A1 and iced tea from the Reynolds Baptist Church. The event is also open to for-profit vendors. Businesses interested should call 987-8124. “Weve moved vendors into the main field area where the entertainment is,” Burke said. Organizers want to make the stage for musicians the focal point of the celebration. Vendors will line the perimeter. A 20x30’ tent in the central area will provide shade. Gates open at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 4. Admission is $20 per vehicle, or $30 for tailgaters. Last year’s celebration was the first of many fireworks shows to come. This year’s event is expected to out-draw the 3,500 in attendance in 2007. “We’re expecting it to be bigger and better this year,” Bill Fletcher said. “We think an event like this can bring Rappahannock together to help preserve its rural character.” Budget From Page A1 Overall, the budget remained similar to the one presented by supervisors at their budget hearing held earlier this month. The only significant change was an additional $57,892 added to the budget for the Clerk of the Circuit Court for electronic records-keeping. However, the state will reimburse that amount. “Every month as I spend it, we get reimbursed,” Clerk Diane Bruce explained. “But until the budget was adopted last year, we didn't know how much it was going to be." The one cent increase to the real estate tax rate would raise about $165,000. If approved, those new funds would go toward the county’s General Fund and upgrades to the radio system. 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 onetime 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 th»* $2 million would be paid through grants or savings, added McCarthy The budget has no new positions or programs. However, it does include a 3 percent pay increase for county employEarlier this month, Supervisor Bryant Lee suggested that the board save money by delaying construction of the Bank Road building which would eventually house the county staff. On Tuesday he said that he had changed his mind; rising construction costs and rent payments on the county's current building would cost more in the long run anyway “Actually, we’d be going backwards," he said. “ We’re not saving the taxpayer." - - - . ■ Gates open at 4PM fireworks Set to Music and begin at DUSK THE PLAINS, \A GREATMEADCW&ORG (or Ticket Info. 9 Directions RECHJtID TICKET PRMJE COURTESY Op OUR (COMMUNITY PARTNERS ***■»■•»■ ®©gr fcuMwin—i-Qwrm TO BENEFIT THE SPERRYVILLE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT Thomtan HiU Race Coarse • 3 Miles South of SperryvMe on Rt. 522 GATESOPEN AT 1pm MUSIC Local Bands 2pm - 4pm, Shenandoah Travelers 4pm -7pm Bobby G. & Friends 7pm til Fireworks Food, Pubbc Safety & Local Nonprofit Displays, Jug^er, Children V Games, Face ftunting, Balloon Animals, Moon Bounce & More— FIREWORKS AT DUSK *n.knfc» wwtved iwriumi k« i«w vrhulr 4* Wijr M J .Vxil/ trill id thr uihrU S (.'vtwnl VJnn?*k,i 'Kkrt' u,l iprvuJ rrviipulmi ui rvrtil rKrnru^ July 1, 2008 to...

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Ciatterbuck BURN VICTIM: Marvin Pearson is recuperating at Ns Castleton home from severe bums. Planned brush fire [planned turn By Timothy R. Thompson Rappahannock News Staff Writer Marvin Pearson, 44, oi Castleton had plans recently to start a controlled brush fibre on his property. He had intended to start the fire by using diesel fuel but mistakenly grabbed the wrong container. The container he used was filled with gasoline. Both containers were unmarked and identical. Pearson says he “poured at least two gallons of gas on the brush and then lit it.” He says he “never saw the flame on the igniter he was using. “I just remember being knocked back with flames shooting off of my body,” he said recounting what hap pened that day, May 31. Erin FH?arson began driving her husband to the hospital but met the ambulance en route. Ambulance personnel saw the extent of his injuries and quickly culled tor Med Evac. F^arson was flown to the University of Virginia Hospital were he spent the next six days. * Mis. Ptearson said hei husband received second and third degree bums to one third of his body. Rappahannock Count> Sheriff Connie C. Smith said “units from Castleton and Sperryville fire companies responded to 88 Scrabble Road for an unattended burn.” She also said that “an EMS unit met the Parson’s at Sperryville Pike and Gibson Mill Rd ” For now Pearson has to make weekly visits to the doctor to monitor his progress and treatment. He has had no surgeries to date and doctors are unsure what surgeries, if any will be needed. He needs to use a wheelchair to get around since he cannot put much pressure on his legs, due to his usuries. FVarson is self-employed in the home improvement field. He has not been able to work since the accident and he says “the doctors don’t even know when I can work again.” Mrs. Pearson had to leave her job in order to care for her husband and two small children. ages 6 and 8, and now “the bills are piling up.” The family has lived in Rappahannock for more than six years. In the meantime a fund has been set up by Mr. Pearson’s sister, Shirley Faringer for anyone interested in lending a helping hand.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, JUNE 26,2008 Time is now These are character-building days for Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and others tasked with solving our Titanic-sized transportation problems with a PT boat-sized budget. Closing such gaps often requires tough medicine and, to Kaine’s credit, he appears ready to prescribe some. And it couldn’t be sooner for Rappahannock commuters and others who have to cope daily with bumper-to-bumper traffic no matter what time of day getting to a destination in Northern Virginia. Some spend almost as much time on the road getting to and from work as they do at the workplace. Just before this week’s special transportation session got under way in Richmond, Kaine laid out a plan that would generate roughly $1 billion a year for roads and mass transit. The most significant part of his proposal involved bumping the sales tax up by one cent in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads to build and maintain roads in both traffic-choked regions. Kaine is also pushing for a statewide $10 increase in annual vehicle registration fees, as well as upping fees for those buying new cars or selling homes. Beyond generating new dollars, Kaine’s proposal - revisits his pre-election vision of tying transportation funding to land use, rewarding jurisdictions who build “up” instead of “out” and factor mass transit into big development decisions. According to his pre-session press release, Kaine’s bill would: • Incentivize more efficient land use patterns by providing dedicated funding for transportation improvements in urban development areas; • Provide start-up grant funding to increase passenger rail service through the Transportation Change Fund; • Clarify local government flexibility to use secondary and urban road funding for transit projects; • Provide incentives for cities and towns to take responsibility for their road construction programs; and • Provide funds for innovative public-private technology projects to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion on existing roads. Not surprisingly, Kaine’s bill is already under attack from a handful of “no-tax” legislators who don’t seem to mind sitting in traffic for two or three hours each day. Fortunately, Kaine is more concerned with fixing a long-term transportation problem than winning a short-term popularity contest. Given current budget constraints, everything can’t be fixed this year, but Gov. Kaine’s plan is a good start for Northern Virginia. At the risk of sounding like a broken record on this issue, we don’t have much more time to get this transportation thing right. Ask any Rappahannock commuter. 25 years ago Rappahannock County residents gather on the lawn at Avon Hall in Washington to celebrate the Fourth July in 1983. After a brief shower, the crowds enjoyed games, picnics and pageantry while waiting for dark to bring the fireworks. Letters ‘What’s more important in the education of our children?’ How ever did we do it? More than a few years ago, when I played on a Little League team in suburban New Jersey we managed to play a whole nine innings, sometimes 10 or more before it got dark. I can remember one time when the game had to be called because it was just too dark to see the pitch. It didn’t really matter how the game was called — all I remember of the incident is that we had a good time. I can understand why some parents and coaches would want lights for “night games." Its more convenient ibr adults. But are night games the best for students? In spring and fall, during daylight savings time when school is in session, it stays light well after school hours. After dark, shouldn’t stu dents be at home with their families, studying and doing homework? Alter the setting of the sun. Rappahannock and Madison counties become an oasis of natural darkness. Visitors to my place in Flint Hill are actually stunned when they look up and notice the twinkling heavenly firmament. Beyond the boundaries of this part of the Piedmont, light pollution has steadily encroached in the five and a half years since 1 moved here. Looking south from my property. wherc» there were once' no lights, there are now dozens of light sources on the horizon and an all-night glow above Culpeper. The request for lighting the athletic fields should not be considered out of context. We. the citizens of* Rappahannock County, have a shared obligation to protect tne natural beauty, open space, wildlife and yes, even the natural rhythms of day and night, of light and darkness - the very quality of life already obliterated in our cities and suburbs. It’s one of th» basic reasons why we choose to live here and why we choose to rear and educate our children here. What’s more important in the education of our children? Playing sports later into the night - or instilling in them a deep and abiding appreciation and respect for the natural ways of the world, its quiet stirrings, its sunrises and ^ sunsets, and yes, its magnificent' " r night sky. Children lean\,npt by „ ‘ what we say, but by what we do. Ronald F. Maxwell Flint Hill How bright must the light be? Last ww'k’s editorial urged the School Board and the Board of Supervisors to put the deal to fund lights at the Rappahannock County public schools’ (RCPS) athletic fields “under a bright, searching light before obligating the county to it.” How bright must the light be? All of the questions raised in the editorial have already been addressed at three public meetings. Supporting documentation has been available on the RCPS Web site for several weeks, and more is available at the School Board office. Moreover, property owners in the vicinity of the schools have been contacted by mail and asked to make their concerns known. The editorial asks, “Will large crowds generate noise, traffic, parking problems or rowdiness that would bother neighbors?” For most sports. Rappahannock is in the Bull Run District with five other schools. Region B is comprised of the Bull Run and four The Forum John Diley Amissville other Districts. RCPS is the only school in the region without lighted competition fields. Had the author of last week’s editorial gone to a Friday night game at any one of these schools, they might have seen neighbors chatting. young children off to the side playing tag. blankets on the hillside with picnic baskets, babies, and proud parents. Are the people of Rappahannock less civilized? 1 think not! Over the last 30 years or so. I have seen many incidents of rowdiness. Without exception, alcohol was a significant component in every one of them. Our county otters numerous venues for adults to consume alcohol. Personally, I like the idea of a place free of alcohol and tobacco for families to go for local sports entertainment in the evening. The editorial asks, “Will light pollution from the sports fields spoil Rappahannock’s famous dark night skies?” The short answer is no. According to Mike Svetz, Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Director, an older generation of this lighting system has been installed at public tennis courts there. This is in an area where a light ordinance allowing only one-half foot-candles of spillover to ac^oining property is much stricter than Rappahannock's. Mr. Svetz reports that the lighting system exceeds the requirements and that there have been no complaints. In contrast, Rappahannock’s ordinance limits spillover to three foot-candles with a provision that it can be more if neighbors don’t Sm DILEY, Page A5 Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO June 27,1968 Chester Gap Fire Department and Rescue Squad will hold their annual carnival on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 3, 4. 5 and 6th with a gay slate of activities planned.

Diley From Page A4 object. This standard applies only to properties in a commercial or industrial zoning district. Funding of lights The editorial questions funding of the lights. The role being requested of the county is similar to the county's role in supporting broadband Internet service with several differences: the county is not required to advance funds; the county's interest is secured during the term of the lease by a lighting system of substantial value; funding is derived from pooled sources rather than a single company - a single source failure will not lead to default; and ownership passes to the county once the lease is paid off. There is a degree of risk in the broadband deal and I applaud the supervisors for taking that risk. Even if the Rappahannock County School Sports Association (RCSSA) defaulted, and the Band Boosters defaulted, and the donor who wishes to be anonymous until the deal is approved defaulted, and no one else stepped up, the county would have something of far greater value than the equipment that would remain after collapse of the broadband company. The odds of the broadband company defaulting are probably about the same as the odds that all the backers of the light deal would default: pretty slim. The editorial opines: “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.” If one had done any research, they would have tbund out about several organizations that fund the academic side. They might even have tbund out that the Academic Bowl team is governed under VHSL guidelines like any other sport. ‘Dumb quarterback* cliche Between the editorial lines, one can see the “dumb quarterback” cliche. Students are either athletes or nerds. Athletics and academics are at odds with one another. We’ve heard this prattle expressed in a thousand different ways. The truth is that one of our graduating athletes who performed with the concert and jazz bands, starred on the volleyball, basketball, soccer, and track teams, was also enrolled in the Mountain Vista Governors School (MVGS) and a member of the National Honor Society (NHS). Our quarterback was also enrolled in MVGS and a member of the NHS in addition to being the Class of 2008 Valedictorian. Just a little research will bring numerous other similar examples to light. Good coaches work with good teachers to ensure that students do well. This is true at our high school and it remains true for athletes in college. Missed assignments don’t just earn zeros. They can also earn laps around the track, wind sprints, push ups, bench time, and more. One group not mentioned in the editorial is the RCHS band. The previous editor of the Rappahannock News wrote, “reportedly there have been times when parents have lined up their cars and turned on their headlights so that the band would have enough light to see to march and practice. That’s pretty pathetic for a band that consistently brings home superior and excellent ratings.” What sort of message does private funding of lights send to teachers or perhaps parents who might consider sending their children to Rappahannock County schools? Children in Rappahannock are no less deserving than children of all the other Schools in Region B. There are people and organizations willing to donate time and money so that our children can have equal athletic facilities. There are other persons and organizations that donate time and money on the academic side. Donations also support the Next Step program to help our children make the transition to life beyond high school. If people art* truly concerned about money being donated to athletics, they should dig deep into their own pock ets and contribute to one of these other organizations. Collectively, these organizations, RCSSA included, work incessantly to provide an educational opportunity for the next generation that is at least as good, and in some cases better, than the opportunities in surrounding counties. If you’re truly concerned about the next generation. don’t be a bench warmer. Whatever your area of interest, there are persons and organizations that will be delighted to accept your help. The children of our county will appreciate it, and you’ll have a lot of fun along with a sense of personal accomplishment C O UJJ TRY F • L • O • W*E ■ !< G_A__ R D E JS obses* MftiiiB • noNus Daylilies Now Blooming!

Sherri is well known in the county as the queen of the 2003 and 2005 Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad Miss Rappahannock Pageants and was only one of 30 women accepted in the Miss VA-USA Pageant in October 2007. Sherri and her receptionist, Tara Craft, who share many common interests and are frequent participants in beauty pageants, met when Sherri served as the pageant consultant for Tara’s daughter, Madyson Gibson, age 7. Madyson and Sherri were participants together in Miss Northern Virginia Pageant on June 21 where Sherri was awarded first runner up and most photogenic, while Madyson won the title of Young Miss Northern Virginia. Now the shared interests between Sherri and Thra will take on another dimension. Tara will begin cosmetology school in the fall and will return to work with Sherri in the spring, 2009, when she will be a fully certified cosmetologist with a specialty in nail services. We welcome this well established business to Sperryville and wish these two young women good luck in continuing to grow with our community.

They are Jay Brown, Howie Swaim. Katherine Leggett Miller, John MacPherson “and Brad Schneider. The five town residents will serve staggered terms ranging from one to five years. The board hears appeals from zoning decisions within the town. The board’s decisions may be appealed to the Circuit Court. Although it has been years since the town faced a contested zoning decision, town leaders expect that such issues are more likely to arise after the new wastewater treatment system is installed in the next year.

Countryside Chutney business a family affair By Hilary lewis Rappahannock Nows Staff Wntor For Rappahannock's Turner family, making chutney is a family affair - and a sweet and sometimes sticky business. Nevill and Clare, along with 30 year-old son. Oliver, run The Virginia Chutney Company out of their Piedmont Avenue home in the Town of Washington producing jars of the savory condiment to be sold from Maine to Florida. Their goal is to spread the delicious taste of southern-style chutney throughout the U.S.. an idea that began as a simple hobby fur Clare. It all started in 2004. when Clare stopped working as a kindergarten teacher; Oliver moved buck to Virginia from New York; and Nevill retired from a career traveling around the world as a biochemist. “I found that the south has a great tradition of ehutneys and people always go cm about English chutney, so I though we could start making American-style chutneys,* said Clare. “What's the point of importing them?* Clare found the transition into the chutney-making business to be a natural one. In fact, chutney had been in the family for a long time. In 1932. a family member printed an English cookbook which included recipes for tomato chutney and several fruit preserves. “In England, in every pantry; in every cupboard, in every fridge, there! 1 be a jar of chutney* Clare said. “Indians have fresh chutney every day for lunch* The couple, bom and raised in England. lived in the Caribbean. Pakistan, and East Africa - all known for their chutney use. They moved to Virginia in 1982 and to their home in Rappahannock two years agtx “It turns out that they lived in chutney 'hot spots* ail along," joked Oliver The Turners eat chutney everyday, with sandwiches and cheese, and in the evening with meals, like Americans would eat ketchup. Wanting to bring the condiment into the American market in a similar way the Turners decided to become the H.J. Heinz of the chutney world. “We knew there was a potential market for it. because when you ask people what is chutney they don't really know," said Oliver. “What they don't realize is that ketchup technically is chutney and everyone likes that. Everyone likes the sensation of fruit with vinegar, sweet with that vinegar bite." Although there are many varieties, the Turners say chutney is different things for different people. “There’s Caribbean-style. there’s Indian-style, and there’s English chutneys," said Oliver. “All it is, basically is fruit, vinegar, sugar, and spices. It’s slow-cooked down to a concentrated reduction." Following the sensational trend that ketchup created in the 1960s and salsa (the number one condiment in America) has today the Turners’ chutney has done extraordinarily well. So far, their business has doubled each year since it began. Today the Turners pride themselves in making traditional. natural, southernstyle American chutney “Southern-style chutneys are sweeter, a little spicy and they go on ham and chicken." Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Hilary Lewis FAMLY BUSINESS: Mother and son. Clare and Oliver Turner, work in the family’s test kitchen of their home in the Town of Washington on new ideas for their southern-style chutney. Father. Nevili. was out of town marketing their product which is sold locally and in 99 Whole Foods stores. said Oliver. “In the south, people didn't have refrigerators, so they would go out and collect the fruit which had fallen to the ground or old fruit and cook it up.” What sets their chutney apart from others is that it’s made all-natural, with no preservatives. “There’s no high-fructose com syrup,* Clare said. “You could actually save money by making it with preservatives; to make it thicken much quicker. But by cooking it properly, it makes a difference in the taste and it's a little more expensive." » The Virginia Chutney Company currently offers five fruit chutneys, the most popular being spicy plum and hot peach. Other chutneys contain southern fruits like mango, rhubarb, and cranberry. Working with foods that had a regional appeal, the Turners also drew inspire tion from the “buy local” movement. The company was introduced in Whole Foods Market, a breakthrough the Turners describe as “getting into Princeton.” “It was that big of a break.” said Clare. “We got in because we were local, all natural, and we made it into their special cheese department and they wanted something to go with cheese.” Their chutney is currently being sold in 99 Whole Foods stores up and down the east coast. Locally, residents can buy it in Rappahannock at Roys Orchard, Epicurious Cow, Mt. Vernon Farms, and in Culpeper at Food for Thought. Each 10-ounce jar costs anywhere from $7 to $9.50, depending on where it’s sold. The business has expanded so quickly, production of the chutney had to be moved to a larger facility, now located in Lancaster, Pa. The iiiMnawYMi CHUTNEY BUFFS: Clare and Oliver Turner with the family’s yellow lab take a break from creating chutney recipes at their home on Piedmont Avenue in Washington. The Virginia Chutney Company currently offers five fruit chutneys. Turners hope to mow to a factory in the area soon. “We needed something a commercial kitchen that would be large enough to make 200 gallons of our chutney at a time,” said Clare. “We're in a transitional state right now, but we want to move production back to Virginia." Although they don't actually cook the chutney in Virginia, the majority of the work for the business is done in the Turners’ Rappahan nock home. While Clare comes up with new ideas for chutney in the test kitchen, Nevill heads up quality control and shipping, and Oliver does deliveries and abstract concept work. “I never once thought of all three of us doing it. I always thought it was something for me." said Clare. “But we love chutney and work incredibly hard and sometimes get obsessed with it, but there’s no other way to do it." ‘An inspirational story9 The Ben Jones we know ... and didn’t know By John Fox Sullivan Special to the Rappahannock News Many of us haw been fortunate enough to get to know our Rappahannock neighbor Ben Jones and his wonderful wife. Alma Viator. He is. of course, the famous actor “Cooter” from the TV show the Dukes of Hazzard; the former twoterm congressman from Georgia who aim took on Eric Cantor for Congress; the impresario of Coolers in Sperryville; and. of course, the man whose missives electrify political debate on Rappnet. Jones is a force of nature - high energy, magnetic, funny, provocative and in Itovtow your^face. Like so many of us. the couple drove west on Route 211 and succumbed to the enchantment of Rappahannock. fell in love with our peaceful Blue Ridge world, and settled not so quietly into their log cabin up Harris Hollow. But. my goodness, Jones' trip to Rappahannock was surely quite a ride. His just published autobiography, ‘Redneck Boy in the Promised Land." details a life of childhood poverty, alcoholism and drugs, constant fighting, thrashing about with his professional career and almost always carrying a big chip on his shoulder In short, he gives us a life history that gives new meaning to the word dysfunctional. As Jones writes, by the time he turned 36. he had “been through three marriages. and countless fractured ||> relationships .. .jailed for being drunk and disorderly, assaulting an officer... criminal trespass, resisting arrest and “failure to move on." He was broke, “on the verge of death . . . and had long been spiritually bank REGENCY • BF RICH •ANDERSON NORANDEX • HEARTLAND • ALCOA Visit our Showroom at: 102 Duke Street • Suite 101 Culpeper, VA 22701 .

Jones' candor, his “confessions" as he calls them, are direct, honest, no cutting of comers. In short, he was a very, very bad boy. And yet, this is a wonderfully uplifting, inspiring, and yes, absolutely fun, book to read. His “life is not a story about falling down. It is a story about getting up." It’s about a man. fighting every step of the way, who overcame his demons, found an r Ben Joimi will be signing Ills nsw book at a book party at tho Middleton Inn on Saturday, July S from S to 7 p.m. Tbs public Is Invited. inner strength and above all is a survivor. This is a story to be read, and eryoyed, by all. Jones’ story begins in a section hand house along the railroad tracks where electricity and plumbing belonged only to those living on the other side of the tracks. On the one hand Jones proudly introduces us to his hardworking, hardscrabble poor Southern family and, on the other, he is always looking across those tracks and imagining “a different life than the one 1 had.” In his twenties, he discovers a passion for acting matched only by his passion for drinking; lives on the edge through the 1960s and 70s at East Carolina College, the University of North Carolina and the theater circuit. He immerses himself in the civil rights movement (“it was time to take a stand"); lus life held together by rock, country and folk music (“If you see me there is a song in my head"). Jones saw himself as some kind of blend between a Marlon Brando tough guy, the writer Thomas Wolfe and Hank Williams. For me, the best aspect of Jones' book is his own emancipation from “a ‘Redneck’ Southern boy raised in the strict segregation of the times" who became a convert ... a man who not only chose to believe, but also to act on his beliefs, that “the South, my South, must thoroughly integrate . . .and to address the terrible legacy of Jim Crow." Overcoming alcoholism in 1977, Jones’ life and career take off ... or at least hit some new peaks. Fame and some fortune come with the unexpectedly successful TV series, the Dukes of Hazzard. Jones’ description of dealing with the Hollywood phonies is laugh out loud funny. After television success, there is a new stage for Coo ter, politics. Soon he is fighting all sides of the political establishment. A Redneck “Mr. Smith” goes to Washington kind of story - and a fun one at that. And then we have the Ruppatninnock years and the Ben Jones we know. What's fascinating and illuminating about this book is learning about, and from, the man we didn’t know and the helluva ride that got him hero. This is an inspirational story, a great nurd and a lot of fun. 1 Photo by E Raymond Boc Summer rides Thornton Hill Hounds huntsman, Billy Dodson, leads the hounds in training walks during the summer months with the help of his whips.
