Page A2 Supervisors see night-lights demo at high school stadium By Jambs P. Gannon Special to the Rappahannock New* Mike Riley punched some switches in a small control room just off a moonlit football field Tuesday night and tall banks of stadium lights slowly began to glow, reaching peak intensify in about 10 minutes. The football field became a brilliant green carpet surrounded by its bluck, oval track, bathed in the glow of "Friday night lights." The scene was the football stadium at Skyline High School, south of Front Royal, where Riley is director of maintenance. His guests from Rappahannock County were there to observe the sports-lighting system installed at the year-old high school by Musco Lighting, the same company that proposes to light three athletic fields at Rappahannock's public schools. On hand were County Administrator John McCarthy, Board of Supervisors members Eddie Wayland of Piedmont District and Ron Frazier of Jackson district, and a reporter. The point was to assess how the lights might look if installed at Rappahannock fields, and how visible or disturbing the lighting might be for residents of Rappahannock, famous for its dark night skies. The reaction of the Rappahannock officials, as judged by their comments during the County and Town Meetings and Notices • On Monday.

Four steel monopole towers, about 110 teet above the gridiron, each carried a bank of a down intense lamps, each care tully aimed at a specific point on the field. Riley apologized that one of the tour banks of lights was inoperable, due to an outage apparently caused by a recent, lighting storm. Even at three-quarters power, the light system seemed to illuminute the field well. After viewing the lights from the edge of the field, the Rappahannock visitors retreated to the periphery of the fenced stadium, behind the light towers, far a view from that distance. Beyond the immediate field area, there was relatively little light spillage from the down-shielded fixtures. "Ordinary stadium lights would put more light here than this," said Way land, impressed by the darkness of the periphery. "Are the lights bright? Yes, you’ve got to have it Rappahannock supervisors are expected to make a final decision Monday. July 21 on a proposal to install night* lighting systems on three athletic fields as proposed by the Rappahannock County Schools Sports Association. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. bright on the field," Wayland added, 'then he pointed in the distance beyond the stadium. “Look buck there," he said. “It looks pretty dark." Frazier, who arrived after the light show begun, observed tor a few minutes, then said: “It’s actually directed pretty well onto the field." McCarthy also made several favorable comments on the lights and their impact, noting the relative darkness of the urea beyond the playing field. Riley emphasized See LIGHTS.

MondayPrtday Member Audit bureau of Circulations anww, rappnews.com Rail proposal is a good start For those of us who got on the rood at 4 a.m. to commute to Big Washington and its suburbs, thotv is a proposal in the works that may make lib? easier. A proposed Piedmont passenger rail service that would make two stops a day in neighboring Culpeper is a ehance to have a piece of the future now. It is a proposal that should be made into reality as soon as possible. The proposal began in Charlottesville with a coali* turn that wants twice daily passenger service from Lynchburg to Washington's Union Station. The com* muter trains would make scheduled stops in Charlottesville. Culpeper. Manassas and Alexandria. The coalitions - there is one in Culpeper now - want to partner with Amtrak in this venture that would provide passenger service to Washington in the morning and service horn Washington in the evening. Kt*r all of us out here that means commuters would have a way to get to Northern Virginia jobs without dealing with the current highway gridlock. It is not a cheap proposition. A train set - loeomo* tive and passenger cars - needs to be purchased. Norfolk Southern owns the railroad on which this train will travel, so there is the annual tbe tbr rail use. That and general maintenance would run in the neighborhood of $1.4 million a year. There is another proposal to build similar passen* ger service IVom Hampton Hoads to Washington. That one would stop in Richmond, thus tying together the states three main business hubs. Build unit service* too* Take those steps into a future when we are not so overwhelmingly dependent on automobiles* Both Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads need relief than traffic congestion and gridlock* For years the response has been to build more highways or add lanes to existing ones* Both areas are virtually begging for the hinds to build onto this infrastructure with the hope of moving traffic at a reasonable pace* Building more is not the answer* No matter how much money is spent* or how detailed the study* these projects art* destined to be obsolete before they art' completed* The answer is mass transient, an affordable and dependable service that helps move the daily flow of workers from IVint A to !\>int B and hack again* this passenger rail serv ice won't free us from our automobile dependence* But it is the kind of cost effective start we need. Letters Jim Gannon: ‘The Rappahannock Decider’ Jim Gannon it* quoted in the July 3 edition of the WuppuAtirtmv* jNVuw “t plan to continue doing what l have dime oince t launched The Rappahannock Voice nearly two Years* ago- covering whatever t think ie* the moot important news* in the county and explaining what it meant*.1* Now lot's* look at coverage of the Hoard of Supervisor*' meeting in the Ally 10 edition of the Rappahannock Newsc Mr. Gannon begins* by Haunting the $5 11.000 coat of the project. He Avail’d that we didn't need to know that whatV milly on the table is* an agreement far &ih£\tK)0 plus inters eat. Mr. Gannon wonts* us* to know that the coat it* spread over 10 years*. He decided that we didn't need to know that it is the payment that's spread avw 10 mux, The curt is spmul owr the hie of the pnjject. There's 'JfW yeur tuUkoveruge warranty Mr. Gannon »unuiMria» what officers of the spirts-booster organi*atio i said He tells people that t said the system meets tight limits on light pollution in other aretes but lead's out the part about those limits being several magnitudes tighter thtm our own beeause he decided that isn't important. He decided that we didn't need to know about endorsement from the International Dark-Sky Association. Then Mr. Gannon minted opponents at great length: Monira Hilaat. l\iul Farmer. Rill God mo. Run Maxwell. Tom Junk and Monica Wurth. Others spoke in favor Jim Oyster. Ritchie Burke. Camille Racer. Hank Gurfein. Sharon Kilpatrick and others. Mr. Gannon decided to leave them nameless and summarised their input with just six lines. Mr. Gannon decided that they aren't important and their superfluous comments would confuse a populace that, having collectively just rolled off the buck, of a turnip cart, lucks the intelligence to sort things out. Do we really need our very own Rappahannock Decider to decide what we need to know and explain what it means? John Diley Amissville Story on lights ‘poorly reported, highly prejudicial’ I found tho artkk\ “BOS postpone* mvturn on athlotic lorht:* until July a l “ in tho July 10 edition of the h’trf*t*thunm.*'k iWas poorly reportoa Mrui highly prejudicial Mr Uannon. the reporter Sturts* the article by writing "Nearly every s*eat was* tilled and many stood at the buck oft ho room with « strong turnout of Rt'SSAV s* ports* boosters* mixed in with many opponents of tho sports-lights plan. This sentence suggests that tho only ones who woro thoro to support tho plan woro boosters, That was* not the ease. Thoro woro a go*xt number of Rappahannock citIsons thoro in support with no affiliation with tho boosters. Mr Gannon rotors* to tho leaseEurehase agreement as* “county - aeked “ This* suggests that county funds* tm> to be used tor the project. This* is not true. The entire expense wilt bo borne by RGSSA; it hsts a $ 100.000 down payment and a proven reeord of being able to raise funds. Last year the RCS8A contributed over $31,000 dollars it raised for capital improvements and equipment to our school system., Mr. Gannon states. “Eight spoke in favor of the lights, nine spoke against.“ He then devotes '20 column inches to those who spoke against and less than four column inches to those who spoke in favor. Two of those four inches were about the nuts and bolts of how it would be paid tor. Mr. Gannon in his reporting spent a large part of his article uuoting and paraphrasing those who spoke against but nary a word of those who 9poke in favor t personally am in favor of the lights and spoke at the mooting. I think it would be'great if members of the community, own if you do not haw kids* in tho schools, would cotno out in tho oarly owning to . moot noighbors that you would not ordinarily moot, buiki a sense of community and root tor tho homo toam. It is tho right of tho Rappahunmtck /Wa s in its editorials to raise questions and present tho pupenfpoint of view. The paper and its reporters do not have tho right to omit from nows stories one side of the debate to farther advance their own views. Henry R. (iorfein Washington ‘Our kids have one opportunity that no child in any neighboring county has’ Wo find this* latost brouhaha about lights* Ra* night gamoe* ami tho constant parental complain^ In*! about their kids* not having the i*anu' sports opportunities available as* those that exist in suburban counties troubling If wo an» going to cont|)are our high school with surrounding school* and suburban schools. we should als*o k*ok at comparable academic programs.

We're sure that parents are as* concermHi about tia'ir kids' tomial education as* they are about tia'ir opportunities to play sports. Wo just don't understaiai why tla»n' is loss outwani attention paid to thoso issue's. Of course. tla' impact of the lights ms tia> night sky is a nw\jor consideration. as is tho use of electricity and who w-ill be paying Rir it.

‘A good government looks out for the greater good’ Oeveral residents I have k^talked to laugh when I say some residents don’t want lights because of light pollution. Whether you think this is ridiculous or not. I believe a good government looks out for the greater good of a community. I'm sure some don't want to see any light glare, but where do we draw the line? Should we shut down the 211 Quicke Mart? I don’t think so because this community uses the Quicke Mart. That place is lit up well and is right next to the road near the fields that would be lit. Fbr three years. I lived next to the fire hull in Sperryville. The carnival came to town every summer and our skies were lit up with all sorts of neon and fluorescent colors not to mention the "noise pollution.'* I didn't have kids then so I rarely attended the carnival but I never thought about what an infringement that was on my lifo. I always looked at it for what it was - good, dean fun for the kids of this county and a fundraiser for the fire department. Now if you combine the four nights for that carnival and the other carnivals in Amissville and Flint Hill that is already 12 nights of so- called light pollution. The football team would average four or five home games a year. The baseball and softball teams ploy at the same time behind the elementary school. They have about 10 home games. That’s 15 nights that Rappahannock citizens will have to see a glare. It wouldn't be an everyday thing and again I believe you have to look at the benefit to the entire community. If you took a poll, in almost any school district the football program usually is the big money maker and provides enough funds through gate receipts to pay for some other programs that do not see many fans at games or meets such as golf How lights will affect the future of the county Rappahannock County is a unique place tor a variety of reasons. Fm sure residents would have difficulty agreeing upon what makes Rappahannock so special- its peacefulness, view, si*e or caring residents. 1 believe Rappahannock is unique because its residents are good people who ei\joy the simple pleasures of life. They ei\joy watching their children grow up and attend a safe, caring school, going to church, and talking with their neighbors about current events or reminiscing about the past. This is probably how the majority of residents who were bom and raised in Rappahannock feel as well. There is an issue before us that seems to have the county divided- putting lights up at the boll fields. I have resided in Rappahannock all my lift' and mid the pleasure ns serving the children of our fine county as a teacher and conch. 1 truly believe that when decisions ore made in the county residents should ask themselves this question- how will this decision affect the future of Rappahannock County? Well, lights at our ball fields will affect the future of Rappahannock in various ways. Our children will have the opportunity to play more sporting events and be sup ported by more fans due to later start times. Our indoor sports have better attendance than do our outside sports simply because of the games' start times. I would love to support our outdoor sports. But, getting home from work and having dinner before 5 pan. is impossible. Therefore, I am not able to support our athletes. I have traveled to Madison to watch sporting events there because their events start at 7 p.m. The huge disappointment here is that 1 am pitying to watch games at our rival locations, thus supporting their athletic programs and not my own. I also teel there is no community center in Rappahannock County where special events can be held. Wouldn't it be wonderfid to host Relay for Life on a ball held with tights and bleachers? What a special event for our community! This is just one example of many events or fundraisers that could be held at our fields if they had lighting. In addition to louking forward to gathering for yearly events, residents will have the opportunity to gather socially once a week to support our athletic teams. Watching sporting events is a source of entertainment for many residents. I understand there is always fear where money is Castleton Festival: ‘A tremendous opportunity’ We had a song wo used to do in my hand. Trapesoid - ‘In Beauty I Walk.” Lorraine Duisit adapted it from a Navtyo night chant. Wo walk in beauty here in Rappahannuck-tlte beauty of triends. id' community, id* nature. of art. The linos blur between what's art and what's tile when you live in a place like this. Of all the concerts I've ever attended as an audience member, almost all of my top 10 were at Lorin and Dietlinde Mound's Theatre Housc> in Castletun-lVpe Romero. Jose Camrras. Emanuel Ax. James Galway, the Britten operas and the astounding opening concert with Maestro Maazel. Yefim Bronfinan and David Frankel. In a county where the beautiful is our ordinary, the converts at the Theatre House are the most extraordinary of experiences. A tew weeks ago. I had the opportunity to experience the theatre from the other perspective—as a performer. There are only a handful of times in my whole career where I felt as completely connected to my audience and to the musk. It happened because we were performing for a crowd of friends, because of the gracious welcome of our hosts, the exquisite beauty of our ‘Touching words’ remember lives of Strothers and Porters The Rappahannock Historical Society!* annual fundraiser. “An Afternoon Tto Die KUr“ was held July 13 at The Meadows, the 2.WyearsUd Washinjfton luune of John and Beverly Sullivan.

Not long ago the Rappahannock News ran an editorial in which the newspaper basically stated that Rappahannock was a great community because it is a county of volunteers and we take great pride in our roles doing that. I am not affiliated with the RCSSA. I do know they are all volunteers. They are extremely hard working with a goal of providing the children of this county excellent equipment and arenas to play in or on so the county can put money toward education and not have to pay for most of the sports equipment. They have bought many years worth of uniforms for all the teams. When I was in school we wore the same uniforms in 1969 that had been used since the late 70s. The RCSSA also built a huge press box/food booth for the football field. They always come through. concerned, and I don’t pretend to know all the ins and outs about funding. But, I do know our RCSSA Booster Club has worked hard for many years to help fund our sports programs. My teams have received money for equipment from them and been supported by their members. Personally knowing many of its members, I have no reason to doubt their sincerity in this endeavor. I have great difficulty dealing with the fact that many who are voicing their disagreement with putting up lights at the ball fields are putting their wants before those of our children. The RCSSA works solely for the benefit of our children. How will lights affect the future of Rappahannock County? Families and friends will spend time watching our youth play sporting events. Residents will be able to attend games and share “remember when" stories of their glory days. Our community will have several locations to host special events that will bond the members of our community. And. our children will have even better “remember when* stories to pass down to their children. They deserve to share in the same pleasures as the children of our surrounding counties. Susan Campbell Sperryville surroundings, and because the stage had been anointed by the music of the masters who had previously performed there. Now the Manzels are proposing a yearly Castleton festival. It's a tremendous opportunity for our community. for the young artists that get to perform in the festival, and for this old guitar player to be inspired to keep reaching further. I trust we will all recognize the gift the Maazels bring to this community and that we will folly support the festival. Their commitment to bringing the world s finest music into the intimacy of small theatre is an extraordinary gift to us all. Paul Reisler Kid Pan Alley Washington I think we would be turning our backs on their volunteer efforts if we didn't take them up on their offer. Remember the plan is for RCSSA and private donors - of which $100,000 has already been offered up - to pay for this system without the county paying for it. The county basically has to co' sign for them just like maybe you have done for your children or your parents did for you. In last week’s Rappahannock News one resident was worried about the “social costs” of night games. Examples of these costs included extra security that will be needed and the increased amount of teenage drivers out on the roads at night. First, I have always seen at least one sheriff's deputy at every basketbull game and I am sure they are at every football game now. Second, you are definitely not going to stop teenage driving on a Friday night. At least now they would have a safe place to go hang out and socialize with their friends. My kids are only seven and four, but when they get to high school it would be nice to know exactly where they are on a Friday night—at school, having fun with their friends. These lights should be thought of not as something that will divide our community but as a way to make this community stronger. We can go to work, come home, get a good dinner, and go out to the fields at night to see our kids and our neighbors. Because I work on Saturdays, I have seen more away football games than home. It is frustrating to think I am supporting Madison. Luray and Strasburg athletics more than Rappahannock’s because I have to travel to see our teams.

Looking at the site, you can see how it fell fallow. Maintenance of the handstacked, dry-laid decorative stone wall surrounding the graveyard was long-ago abandoned in favor of less expensive and less laborintensive barbed wire. The wire more effectively kept stock out of the cemetery, but also made keeping the place up harder for the farm owners. A walnut tree took root at the north end of the graveyard — about 50 years ago by the look of it. An ash and poplar soon followed at the south end. Roots entwined, pushing over headstones, erasing evidence of foots tones and burying any artifacts left there. The stone wall finally gave in altogether, becoming just a heap of rubble as modern machinery — namely, tractors with powerful mower decks — replaced a horsedrawn sickle bar long used to tend the site. The cemetery was nearly erased. One piece of evidence remained, though, a sign that the site was once a beloved spot: vinca vine — also called periwinkle — persists to this day, and that’s what Thieriot noticed when she combed her new farm a few years ago. She saw the evergreen vine growing around a heap of rocks in the middle of her paddock, but did not recognize its relevance. The tough ornamental flowering groundcover is not native to the area, so it uad to have been planted there. gymkhana, (540) 347-5878 19 Summerpface show, Dondoric Farm, The Rains, www.summerplacefaim.oom 19-20 TWA shows, Spotsylvania, (540) 972-1342 19-20 Connemara pony Show; (540) 341-7104 20 Kelly’s Ford Equestrian Center show, Remington, (540) 899-1800 20 OOHPC combined test-dressage, Windsor Lodge, (540) 636-2344 20 Lake off the Woods hunter show, www.lowa.org, (540) 972-2238 20 Sandstone Jumpers, Millwood, (540) 837-1261 20 BBHSA western show, (540) 788-3375 20 Warrenton Hunt trail ride, Springview Farm, (540) 347-6083 20 Blue Ridge Hunt trail ride, (540) 837-1820 Vinca is often planted in graveyards; it is hardy and spreads easily. With little care required, the vine is an easy way to beautify a place. So even though the gravestones were covered by invasive wild rose and hidden by autumn olive bushes, even though the fallen stone wall looked for all purposes like a rock heap, the vihca spoke volumes: here was a sacred place. Hough was excited by the challenge. “It is our job to preserve history, to discover our past to protect our future,” he said. Nearly too late Hough met Thieriot in February in Aiken, S.C., where both spend time in the winter, escaping the midAtlantic region’s notoriously cold and damp weather. “I met Gene at a party,” Thieriot said, “and the cemetery connection came up quickly. I'm thrilled that he’s here, and I’m really excited about the work he’s doing.” Thieriot invited Hough to come to Re’s Rim, a farm she bought just a couple years ago, and see what he could make of the weedy ok! graveyard. Hough first cleared away decades of brush and thick weeds from the site, uncovering the rubble of a stone wall that formerly encircled the cemetery. Next, he gently reset what gravestones he could identify, putting aside fractured bits of others. Then, he marked out a grid pattern using white tape on the ground to delineate what he felt was likely the original layout of the burial ground. See GRAVES, Page A7

Lights From Page A1 the ease of maintenance on the system, saying, Tve had one set of (Musco) Fights in for 10 years (at another location) and I haven’t yet changed a bulb.” (Riley said Warren County schools did not purchase Musco’s maintenance agreement-as is contemplated under the proposed Rappahannock deal— because it was uneconomic Graves From Page A6 **11107 would have kept it up,” he said of the early residents’ care erf their family cemetery. Pbe descendant Melvin 87, stopped in when he heard about the project, saying he remembered many stories about the old Pbe place in Rappahannock. He grew up just a few miles away on the Fauquier side of the Rappahannock River. “I know they kept it up,* Poe said of the graveyard, “but, you know, people move away things get sold. It was just forgot.” Hough enlisted students at a local riding camp to help with the next stage of restoration. He gave each a short digging tool and told them to gently scratch away earth from the gravestones — a couple of dozen were visible — and carefully place any items they unearthed in a plastic bag beside it. Two of the girls uncovered broken pieces of a headstone; they placed the stone bits together cm the ground. “I think it says ‘Clyde Poe’,” Alyssa Thompson, 15, said as she tried to fit the broken edges of stone. “But Fm not sure, maybe ‘Claude’.” Other undamaged stones in the graveyard are marked in carved cursive script. “Elizabeth Fbe,” one reads. “Died 1855. Aged 1” Hough noted that many of the gravestones — the visible ones span from 1846 to 1860 — have identical script. “1 think probably an artisan came through here and did them all at the same time,” he said. “Not when the people died, but later, all at once. The family would have brought him down here and pointed to a flat stone marker and said, ‘Ok. This was Aunt Mabel, and this one here was little Charlie.’ Then he would have made the stones you see here today.” It is only after years of neglect, as properties change hands and relatives move away or die. Hough said, that considering the little maintenance needed.) Bulbs cost $300 to $400 each, he said, but when Musco put in the other system 10 years ago, the company gave him five extra bulbs and he still has four of them. He’s very satisfied with Musco Lighting both in performance and economics. There’s no doubt, based on the viewing Tuesday night, that neighbors with a line-of-sight view of any of the three football, softball and baseball fields in cemeteries of “a certain age” become unkempt. “It is our legacy” to restore them, he said. “We have to protect history” In particular, he said, he likes to involve kids in the project. “It lets you ‘live’ the history a little bit.” As well, passers-by often drop in and check out the work he does. “Everywhere I go to do projects like this, people stop in and see what’s going on,” Hough said. “And every time, someone will give me a nugget of information that helps tie the thing together. Like Melvin Poe here. He’s adding parts to this story that we wouldn’t have known otherwise.” Neighbor Frank Chapin stopped in to see what was going on at Foe’s Rim. After he heard of the relevance of vinca, he invited Hough to take a look at an outcrop of the vine on his Grunkle Farm just up the road. “That’s my next project,” Hough said with a grin. “I think it’s an even earlier cemetery,” one that was even closer to disappearing. Revolutionary and Civil War history abounds in Virginia and pre-colonial history too, is documented Still, Rappahannock-based archaeologist Dr. Pat Curry said there is much to be learned from any historic renovation, of any age site. “We can discover so much,” Curry said sifting through a pile of sandy soil Hough had piled alongside one of the gravestones. She looked south, towards the open river bottom. “I think this would have been a very likely hunting ground for Native Americans, just as it was a nice site for a home in Colonial days.” Curry said she hopes to find more about the area’s even earlier history through Houghs work. She said another neighbor, adjacent to the Poe’s Run site, found stone tools and spear points dated thousands of years old by Smithsonian scientists. “It’s very exciting,” she said of Mark C.

Wayland agreed that nearby neighbors, such as the Gadino winery near the baseball and softball fields behind the elementary school, or the Blue Rock Inn and homes the “living history.” The Rappahannock Historical Society is interested in Hough’s work. “Any new information found by Mr. Hough would be of interest to us to embellish our files,” said Judy 'Rile of the historical society Tole said the society provided Thieriot with information on the cemetery when she bought the property She said the cemetery was visited before 1989. “Only four tombstones could be read at the time since it was so overgrown and many stones were barely visible and were mostly handcarved fieldstones that could not be completely read,” she said. The historical society has had a cemetery project for many years headed by Misty Hitt Wright. Over 500 cemeteries have been identified in the county with over 11 residents in those cemeteries. “Anyone interested in information on any cemeteries in the county are welcome to visit the EHS and peruse our files, many with pictures,” said Tole. The hope is that the historic graveyard and possible earlier burial grounds might gain recognition by the National Register of Historic Places or other groups that can protect the area from future development. ftie’s Run is in conserva across Route 211 from the football/soccer stadium at the high school, would surely see lights directed their way. But he said he doubted the lights would bother residents a few miles away. RCSSA says it intends to raise all the hinds needed for the project through private donations, but it wants the county government to sign a 10-year lease-purchase agreement to guarantee the payments, because more favorable financing terms are available if the county is backing tion easement, but a nearby. threat looms: The Dominion Power line runs nearly within sight of the cemetery. The proposed increase in its breadth and height will affect the viewshed of the area, and any earthworks could erase the project with its credit. As originally outlined by RCSSA, the system for the three fields would cost $395,000 installed; with financing over 10 years, annual payments were to be $51,132, or over $511,000 total. However, because of a $100,000 up-front donation by a yet-unnamed donor, the amount to be financed is now projected at $285,000, resulting in 10 annual payments of about $38,000, or $380,000 total. In return for the large donation, the anonymous evidence of prior residents, Curry said.

Inspiring Tfwiujfits by Randy Minter COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING Prior to the need for one. it is easier to view a funeral as a commodity. That is to say. just as you would shop for any consumer item, it is possible to shop for a funeral. Because your surviving relatives are not so likely to view your funeral in such black and white terms, it behooves you to comparison shop for yourself. However, a recent survey by the American Association of Retired People shows that fully 79 percent of seniors report that they have not done any comparison shopping for funerals or burials. While no one is saying this is an easy responsibility to live up to, funeral ^directors are experienced at making the decisions involved as comfortable as possible We plan for many events in our lives such as weddings and home buying. Why not pre-plan the commemoration of our passing? This spares those left behind from making those difficult decisions at a time when it may be overwhelming to them. Contact MOSER FUNERAL HOME to learn more about pre-need. Reach us at (540) 347-3431. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting where we will discuss a wide variety of options available to you.

Rappahannock Rose dines at Blue Rock Inn Bt Rappahannock Robe to dine out. Bose km to enjoy a greet dining experience. What Rose doesn’t enjoy is having to write a negative review. So let’s start off with the good A Sunday evening dinner the Blue Rock Inn an a beautiful sunny day; shared with a deer friend had great hopes. That view! Wonderful window table. Great conversation. Let’s order. Jim McCullough, coowner and chef had already greeted us earlier with his absolutely wonderful, cheerful smile. You can’t help but hke this guy! Then he delivered the sad news: his sous chef his waitress and his bartender had failed to show up for work. He had a party of 30 in the pub and another tahk> in die dining room. Oh! Oh! This doesn’t look good for us. My dining partner and I both thought the menu was full of tempting things from appetizers to entrees. We wanted to experience as much as possible so we split two appetizers, a salad and a steak. For wine. Rose ordered-what else?- bat a recommended dry rose'. But instead of being poured at the table, my glass disappeared into the pub and came back full. I gave Jim the benefit of the doubt-he was running the place alone. (Later, I spoke to one of the persons attending the private party in the pub, who reported that Jim, drenched in sweat, kept running back-and-fhrth from kitchen to pub to pour drinks-for thirsty folks who had to wait for them.) The rose’ was one of the new ones coming back into favor .. crisp, dry and just a hint of fruit. Rose wanted to buy a bottle at a wine shop to try again, but Jim didn’t know the name of it.. .’one of those Australian ones with no vowels in the name.’ Good wine but no help there. The good news: Our first appetizer was Rose s choice, Commeal Crusted Oysters with a Cajun Remoulade Sauce ($11.95). Dusted lightly with commeal and sauteed to perfection, they were juicy and succulent and just crisp enough. Another plus was they were not overly seasoned and Jim had piled them high on a the tasty sauce. Yum! All gone in a few minutes. The salad arrived next - the house salad ($3.95) with cucumbers, tomato and raspberry vinaigrette- fresh greens, crisp and a nice flavorful vinaigrette. Again, we both approved and enjoyed it. Another positive was the basket of savory bread that accompanied the salad. But we had a lot to come so we went light on the bread. My dining partner had ordered a second shared appetizer which was a curried duck quesadilla with tomato, basil, salsa and sour cream ($9.95). Getting full from the big oyster plate, salad and the great bread and still having the steak entree to come, we asked Jim if it was too late to cancel the quesadilla. Thank goodness, he was so busy he hadn't prepared it .vet and appreciated our asking to cancel. Hmmmm. Now for the bad food issue. The steak entree, Grilled Marinated Beef Medallions with Raspberry Chili Glaze and Blue Cheese Crumbles that we ordered to share was expensive by Rappahannock County standards at $28.95, which didn’t include a salad. It came with two sides, mashed potatoes (Rose’s favorite comfort food) and broccoli. After a short period, our entree arrived. I wasn’t sure what we had ordered and the plates weren’t much help. The overdone steak was sliced, and fanned out under a very thick berry-colored sauce. Rose wasn’t sure what it was but her dining partner identified raspberries- “can’t you feel the seeds?” The broccoli was grilled and seasoned so highly with herbs that the shape was the only due that it was broccoli. But the very; very worst thing for Rose was mashed potatoes so full of “stuff” that they had no potato taste. A blind taste of anything on the plate would have come up a big UFO! Not to hurt Jim’s feelings, we pleaded too full to eat any more and took doggie bags home. Rose took her takehome plate to a neighbor's house just to get a third opinion. The friend agreed the plate had some unrecognizable things on it. Was the meat pork? Jim, you are too nice and too talented to try to run a place alone. Get some help. Tb advertise as a gourmet restaurant and charge gourmet prices you need to deliver. You need to get help in the kitchen, a dean-up crew to dean the dining room (trash and .a used spoon on the carpet, ugh!), a wait staff to serve, and a bartender in the pub. I have eaten your catered food at events and know you can do it. But what happened to Rose and her dinner companion that night was inexcusable and more importantly the same reports had come from various friends over the past few years. Help! You have the best view in the county. The most potential for improvement and a county full of foodies waiting for you to put the pieces together. Jim, please get some help and get back on track. What a great menu! What a fabulous view! What’s the problem? Rose gives the Blue Rock Inn Restaurant one rose. Hopefully a return visit will give cause for some more roses to bloom. Rappahannock Rose is a county resident and food lover who prefers to remain anonymous so she uon't be recognized by the restaurants that she revieu'S. Her column appears in www.mppvoice.com Society From Page A5 Church delivered a blessing at each gravesite and spoke touching words remembering the lives of the Strother and Porter families and their importance to Rappahannock County. Flowers were placed on each gravesite. The Porter family owned the property for 100 years. Ann Rirter Almond was bom on the property and died in 1850. She was buried in the family cemetery however her tombstone had been removed from the gravesite some years ago and spent a lengthy period in storage. One of the highlights of the activities on Sunday afternoon was the return of Ann’s tombstone to its proper location. We thank the Sullivans for graciously allowing this important commemoration. Many thanks also to the dedicated volunteers for helping to make the event a success: Lory Payne, gravesite diviner.

Special to the Rappahannock News This is eighth in an occasional series of reviews of books that may appeal to the Rappahannock reader. “A Slice of Organic Life* called my name when I saw it recently in the new book section of the Rappahannock County Public Library. Then I took it off the shelf and fell in love. I had to GROWING HERBS: ‘A Slice of Organic Life’ tells how herbs have been used for centuries to make relaxing drinks and for infusions to help relieve ailments ranging from headaches to sore throats and indigestion. share it with you. The book invites the reader to participate in the movement toward more environmentally friendly practices with gorgeous illustrations and easily read strategies. The editor, Sheherazade Goldsmith divides the articles of two to 28 pages into three sections: No Need for a Yard; Roof, Terrace, Ratio, or Tiny Yard; and Yard, Community, Garden, or Field. Within these sections you can find descriptions of foraging for wild greens, choosing safe bath products for children, growing salad leaves in a window box, collecting and using rainwater efficiently, starting a worm composter, making freshly churned butter, keeping honey bees or ducks or chickens or goats or a milking cow or geese or pigs, and using a glut of tomatoes. And this is only a small sample. Each article contains clearly written step-by-step procedures with accompanying photographs and diagrams. In addition, throughout the volume, full-page color photos of vegetables and animals and jams and cheeses and other organic products entice the reader’s eye. These pictures, suitable for framing, have led me to order the book for my own collection—finally, a picture book for adults. The book ends with a directory of resources, organized by topic, with Web sites, companies and organizations that support the operations described in the earlier three sections. An index increases the volume’s usefulness. Do I even need to tell you how “Rappahannock” this book is? Whether you are reading about WdWj-iV.:#*.
