Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Jan Clatterbuck On top of the world The Inn at Little Washington ranked #1 hotel restaurant By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News StaffWnter For Chef Patrick O’Connell his latest accolade, perhaps his greatest, couldn’t have come at a better time. On this, its 30th anniversary. The Inn at Little Washington, has been voted "Best Hotel Dining in the World.” Travel + Leisure magazine ranked the inn as the #1 hotel restaurant in the world in its August issue. "This is a great and well-deserved recognition for the restaurant,” Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine told the«Rappahannock News when he learned about the award. “Not only is Virginia the best state in which to do business, it also has the best restaurant in the world. “Congratulations to Patrick ” the governor said. “Anne (Holton, his wife) and I have often enjoyed our meals there.” The magazine also selected as its “Top Dish” one of The Inn at Little Washington’s first courses consisting of shavings of Virginia country ham with See INN, Page AS County ‘disappointed’ over backing for power line By James P. Gannon Special To the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County's efforts to forestall building of a new, highvoltage electrical transmission line across the eastern portion of the county received a serious blow Monday as a state hearing examiner recommended approval of Dominion Virginia Power Company’s controversial project. The recommendation of the State Corporation Commission hearing examiner goes next to the full commission, which may accept, modify or reject the recommendation. The commission relies heavily on the hearing examiner’s report and the case record to issue a final order. In a report filed Monday, Hearing Examiner Alexander F. Skirpan Jr., found that the construction of the transmission line on company-owned right-of-way “is necessary to serve northern Virginia and resolve overloads projected to occur on an existing 500 kilovolt transmission line beginning in 2011,” according to an SCC news release. Rappahannock County, the Piedmont Environmental Council and other opponents had intervened in the case to oppose the proposed transmission line on grounds that it was not needed and would damage the environment and property values. PEC said it was disap pointed at the hearing examiner’s recommendation and would urge the lull SCC to reject it. Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said he and the Board of Supervisors were “disappointed but not terribly surprised’’ at the official’s recommendation. The county formally opposed the project and hired outside counsel to argue against its construction through Rappahannock in the SCC hearings. McCarthy said there is one aspect of the hearing examiner’s recommendation that is somewhat “gratifying,” however. In his report, Skirpan recommended that the SCC locate the new transmission line “partially or wholly within existing transmission right-of-way for the entire path in Virginia.” If the SCC embraces that recommendation, McCarthy said, it may mean that Dominion will take only 60 feet of additional right-ofway along the existing line, rather than 100 feet. That narrower rightof-way may require the utility to remove the existing lattice-work towers and replace them with two parallel lines of tall monopoles, which are less visually intrusive, McCarthy suggested. Skirpan, who presided over a lengthy series of public hearings on the proposed line, accepted the utility’s basic case that the project was needed to serve the growing appetite for electric power in Northern Virginia and that the best route for the line is a meandering, southerly route along existing utility right-of-way through Warren, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier and Prince William counties. The hearing examiner concluded that “the use of existing right-ofway will have less of an impact on historical and cultural assets,” the SCC said. The southerly route is 28 miles longer and would cost $60 million more to build than a direct route paralleling Interstate 66 through the more populous areas of Northern Virginia, where the proposal stirred strong political opposition. Building the transmission line through Rappahannock County would involve constructing a second set of 120-foot tall transmission towers along an existing right-ofway that cuts across the eastern portion of the county. This would be part of a 93-mile segment of the high-voltage line that runs from the Virginia-West Virginia border in Frederick County to a substation in Loudoun County. . This Virginia segment is the eastern end of a proposed 240-mile line that originates in Southwestern Pennsylvania and continues through West V irginia and Virginia. The SCC hearing examiner recommended that the Commission condition approval of the Virginia segment on approval of the line in those states also. PEC said it was “disappointed in the recommendation" and will urge the SCC to reject the proposed transmission line. It asserted the hearing examiner gave “every benefit of the doubt’' to the utilities proposing the line. “If the SCC Commissioners follow the Hearing Examiners recommendation, Dominion will be able to condemn private land and public values and pass on the costs to ratepayers for a project that is more about increasing utility profits than meeting reliability needs efficiently” PEC said. “This matter has always been a David v. Goliath challenge for PEC,” said Christopher Miller, President of PEC. “We fully intend to pursue all of our opportunities for comment and appeal.” Another local opposition group, the Powerline Landowners Alliance, vowed to continue to fight the proposed transmission line. PLA “is deeply disappointed with the hearing examiner’s ruling," said Gale Johnson, Chairman of the PLA Board of Directors, “But the hearing examiners report is not the last word on t he issue of the power line. The PLA will continue to participate as the matter goes forward with the goal of defeating the power line.” PIA is an unincorporated association of landowners and their supporters in Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Whatever happens, there is likely to be more litigation even after the full SCC rules, McCarthy predicted. "I don’t believe this is over by any stretch of the imagination,” he said, suggesting that PEC is likely to appeal the SCC decision in the courts. Janies P Gannon is editor of rappvone.com Lyme disease on the rise in Rappahannock County By Alexander Sharp VIII Special to the Rappahannock News Two weeks ago, Mark Pruntel thought he had a head cold. He was battling headaches and a fever while building a stone wall at his father’s house in Middleburg. Pruntel made sure to drink lots of water, eat healthy and get plenty of sleep. In a week, the 42-year-old Rappahannock resident was feeling better. “After dropping my daughter off at daycare last Monday, I came home and took a nap," he said. “When 1 woke up, the left side of my face was completely paralyzed.” Pruntel, a building contractor, drove from his home in Viewtown to Fauquier Hospital where he received a spinal tap and a numr 1 Rappahannock News P.(). Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-333S (540) 675-3088 (fax) ber of blood tests. He was quickly diagnosed with Lyme disease, a bacterial infection transmitted by the blacklegged tick, commonly known as the deer tick. His facial paralysis, called Bell's palsy, is one of a long list of possible symptoms of the disease. Since starting on antibiotics, Pruntel has witnessed signs of improvement. “It’s getting better,” he said. “I’m grateful to get better, but I still can’t drive, can’t blink, and> I’m just now being able to hold a conversation again.” Pruntel is one of an increasing number of Rappahannock residents to come down with Lyme disease this year, especially this summer. The Virginia Department of Health already has five reported cases from Rappahannock which is one less than last year’s total of six confirmed cases. Overall,the state has 300 confirmed cases so far this year. Last year there was a total of 958 cases, according to health department officials. “We’ve already had twice the number of Lyme cases this summer as last summer,” said Dr. John Mcl’ue of Mountainside Medicine in Washington. “Usually the bulk of Lyme sufferers come to me in the late summer early fall, so we’ve already started at a rapid pace.” Since the beginning of spring, McCue has diagnosed more than 20 Rappahannock residents with the tick-borne illness. He attributes the recent increase to high moisture levels due to rain this spring and summer. "It s quite a diagnostic challenge," McCue said. “The problem is that we are in a high tick area. In this area, if you have fever or flu symptoms in the spring or summer, call the doctor." Authorities within the Shenandoah National Park relate the high rate of Lyme disease in Rappahannock to its proximity to park boundaries - an area with an extremely high deer population. Rolf Gubler, park biologist and Forest Pest Manager, relates high numbers of deer ticks to high deer densities in the area. “Where there are deer, there are deer ticks," he said. State health officials who track the incidence of Lyme disease explained there is a lag time from when a person gets a test and the doctor reports the results to the health department, if the Rappa’ianno.'.H Nuwi S;a" P->oto Jan CiatterOuck LYME VICTIM: Kaitlin Krometis. 18. of Sperryvilte with her dog, Gizmo, waits for good days to come without pamful joints. doctor reports it at all. "It doctors want the cases to be counted, they need to report them to the local health department," said David (laines, entomologist with the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Epidemiology. Most of Met’ue’s patients receive doxycycline to combat I,yme disease. Mcl’ue emphasized that about 2 a percent of his Lyme cases in tlu past few years did not have a history of a tick bite. Of the 20 Lyme sufferers this year, only five had the characteristic hullseye rash commonly affiliated with See TICKS, Page A3

Ticks . Prom Page A1 the disease, he said. Carol and Bob About a month ago, Carol Lucking of Sperryville began suffering from flu-like symptoms. After a week of little improvement, she went to McCue who put her on doxycychne, an antibiotic commonly used to treat Lyme A few days later, Carol's husband, Bob, felt the same symptoms - headaches, joint and muscle soreness, fatigue. He pulled off a deer tick three days before while finishing construction on his house down Old Hollow Road. “I wasn't going to waste any tune," Bob said. “I immediately started taking Any, cycline. I know what can happen if you let Lymes go for too long” According to the Virginia Department of Health, initial symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic bulls-eye rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, the spirochetes that cause the infection can infiltrate the joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Kaitlin Krometis Kaitlin Krometis, a 2008 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, did not catch hers right away. In February, she began suffering from flu-like symptoms. She was constantly fatigued, sore and achy and had a fever and frequent headaches. After a week, Kaitlin went to Dr. McCue who diagnosed her with a flu-like virus. Three days later, she could not walk. She was in excruciating pain and every joint in her body ached - her knees and ankles were the worst. Kaitlin went back to Dr. McCue and he immediately diagnosed her with latent second stage Lyme disease and prescribed doxycycline for 30 days. She was diagnosed on symptoms alone said her mother, Kathy. Kaitlin said she never saw the tick. Dr. McCue ran blood work which confirmed her Lyme disease (the Elisa blood test came back positive and Western Blot, which was run five days later, showed two positive antibodies). After two weeks on doxycycline, Kaitlin was not responding and her condition worsened, according to her mother. She said she drove her daughter to the University of Virginia Hospital to' meet with the Head of Infectious Diseases. He suggested mononucleosis and/or ParvoB-19 both of which she had had as a. child and had developed immunity to, according to Kaitlin’s mother. The doctor ran blood work and both tests came back negative, said Kathy. She said the doctor dismissed her daughter's symptoms and her own concerns and went on test results alone. “I’d think I was better and then a couple days later I felt worse,” Kaitlin said. “I could barely move. Getting out of bed every day was a chore.” Kaitlin was in and out of school for the next few weeks. After negative tests for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, Kathy spoke to a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore by phone who suggested Kaitlin had chronic fatigue syndrome and needed to get more exercise. He said her symptoms were all in her head, said Kathy. Graphic courtesy/ Centers ter Disease Control and Prevention According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the blacklegged tick, known commonly as the deer tick, is responsible for the transmission of Lyme disease. More than 80 percent of reported cases are caused by the nymphal blacklegged tick that is found between April ami September. “Again his opinion was based solely on two test results which did not coincide and not her symptoms. I hung up on him,’' said Kathy “I know my daughter; and she was vary very ski,” Kathy said. “And that makes you start thinking, ‘Does she have cancer? What is wrong?”’ Kaitlin’s condition continued to worsen. At the aid of 30 days of doxycycline Kaitlin could barely move from the couch. Kathy said she called Dr. McCue cm a Sunday night and he immediately called back. He conferred with a doctor in Northern Virginia and by the next morning Kaitlin was set up at Fauquier Hospital to have an intravenous PIC-line surgically inserted into her inner bicep that ran up her arm and into her chest Strong antibiotics were pumped daily into the PICline for 28 days, said Kathy. Her daughter finally began to feel better within days. Kaitlin missed the last three months of her senior year of high school. “When I got Lyme’s, I never saw a tick, I never saw a bulls-eye, and it was in the middle of winter;” she said. ... Had Kaitlin started an antibiotics sooner, Dr. McCue said much of this may have been avoided. Had she gone much longer without intravenous antibiotics, her condition may have become irreversible Misdiagnosis after misdii- i led to a series of complications over that three - month span. Months lata* Kaitlin still suffers “post-Lyme syndrome" days with painful joints; headaches and fatigue, according to her mother. No accurate test “A big problem is that there is not an accurate test for Lyme," said Brooke Miller M.D., head of a private practice in Luray. “We usually prescribe antibiotics based an the symptoms, not necessarily a positive blood test." According to the National Lyme Disease Association, the tests most doctors rely on miss 44 out of 100 patients suffering from Lyme - a disease nicknamed the “Great Imitator" because its symptoms mimic so many other conditions. The Food and Drug Administration has published articles about the potential for misdiagnosis of Lyme disease based on the commonly marketed blood tests that detect antibodies to spirochete organisms that cause the disease. A positive test result does not necessarily indicate infection, and a patient with active Lyme may have a negative test result. Edward Wilman Edward Wilman fell victim to misdiagnosis in July 2004.

Two days latex: Wilman came down with a fever of 102 that lasted four days. He went to the doctor and was given a two-week prescription of amoxicillin. A month later he woke up with severely hlurred vision in his right eye. “I went to an ophthalmologist who said I had a blood clot in my right eye. a hemorrhage of the retina that would go away in a matter of weeks,” Wilman said. “Luckily, my wife and I searched the Internet to see if Lyme disease had anything to do with it and found dozens of articles about it. “I called the ophthalmologist and told him about the correlation and, since he had never heard of it, referred me to Connie Smith who was a specialist in infectious diseases in Winchester” Smith ran an MRI and found that spirochetes were eating away his optic nerve. In a matter of days, Wilman would have gone totally blind. A surgeon immediately installed an intravenous PICline that pumped antibiotics into his bloodstream. He witnessed signs of improvement within a couple days. It turned out that the amoxicillin had not successfully eradicated the spirochete bacterium transmitted by deer ticks. As a result. Wilman lost most of the vision in his right eye. For three years afterward, he battled swollen joints, stabbing knee pain, and chronic fatigue - all the result of ineffective medication. In all. Wilman spent $26,000 in medical bills, of which his insurance company paid half With proper awareness and a speedy diagnosis, this all may have been avoided. Wilman gives advice to others that experience tick bites: “Anyone that suffers from flu-like symptoms in the summer should automatically assume that they've got it." he said. ‘Assume it’s probably Lyme and deal with the antibiotics from day one." McCue gives advice to residents for the prevention of Lyme disease. “Use common sense. Wear long sleeves and pants when in thick woods or high grass." he said. “Don't hike in bathing suits. No bare feet. If you do find a deer tick, pull it off immediately and observe the area. If the bite gets red and itchy or develops a rash, call the doctor and schedule an appointment."

Audit Bureau of Circulations ^6 At the top What's good for The Inn at Little Washington is good for the town of Washington. It keeps it going. The inn brings in more revenue to pay town bills than any other business and attracts tourists to the county and its offerings. We benefit from the inn's presence, now, in another way. The latest validation of the Inn at Little Washington, as if it needed any more, came this week when it was announced that the inn is the best place to eat in the world. Travel + Leisure magazine readers voted it the top hotel restaurant in the world. And the “Top Dish” in the world is the inn’s Virginia ham and Parmesan cheese dish. For Chef Patrick O’Connell the award may have a special significance because it came at a time when he was flying solo, after his longtime business partner, Reinhardt Lynch, and he parted ways. There had been speculation among some would-be dinner guests about whether the inn would be as good as before. Travel + Leisure magazine and the readers who took its survey answered that question to anyone who didn’t already know how good it was. Those in the hospitality and restaurant business know the demands of trying to not only live up to, but exceed, guest expectations. When a restaurant already is considered one of the best it is even harder to stay on top. Guests are expecting perfection and when there is even a slight mishap, it is magnified for more than it is. For the elated team of chefs, the wait staff and other inn employees, this award is bound to make each of them proud and rightly so. For O’Connell it is a chef's dream come true. For us we can bask in the inn’s achievement and feel proud, too, that our neighbor has attained this honor. ‘Going above and beyond the call of duty’ The family of Robert H. Jenkins, Jr., would like to extend our sincere thanks and deeply felt gratitude to the members of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department for their extraordinary care and effort in going above and beyond the call of duty during die recent tragic lose of our loved one. Janice Jenkins and family Washington Out Of The Attic -AM) Courtesy oft ^ CamtU K*h*eil A FARM HOME sits surrounded by carefully tended gardens and fields on the Resettlement Rood in the 1920s. Letters ‘I applaud the Board of Supervisors’ I would like to correct the editor of the Rappahannock News or the party responsible for the “Slippery Slope” editorial in the » July 24 edition of the paper. The Board of Supervisors did not make a decision to install lights on the fields; that decision was made four years ago when the football stadium was proposed. The BOS made a decision to co-sign a note for the Rappahannock County School Sports Association. I did not realize that Mr. Arundel had hired the editor of this paper to have her own personal column, and that newspaper personnel were allowed to open the back door to the county funds. The writer of this editorial is obviously very bitter about something and not a supporter of Heudwaters or the school system. Headwaters has raised more money than any other organization in our community, and they do so year in and year out. To imply that Cole Johnson or any other member of Headwaters would ask for a computer for every child is abstfrd. The RCSSA has been around for quite a long time and they have raised their share of funds as well. The Lions Club has built dug outs, scoreboards and given scholarships. I have not seen or heard of them coming to the BOS for anything. To imply that the parents of the children in our school system would not support the fundraising efforts of the RCSSA is ridiculous. I have worked at many of the fundraising events and everyone that attends is more than happy to do their part. And they have fun along the way. I did not want the BOS to give $50,000 in actual funds to fight Dominion Power, but I did not get my own column to complain about it. And that was our hard earned tax dollars that were given away. All they did was cosign a note, not one dime was given to RCSSA by the county. Does anybody realize how much money this county would have to spend if we had a real parks and recreation department? Putting the lights up not only helps the students at the school, but it will help the Relay for lafe groups and their event. Those participants have been walking in a parking lot that has been in need of repair for years, maybe the 50K could have been spent on that. As far as the Virginia Broadband is concerned, I was at the meeting when the gentlemen explained how it would be installed and I never heard anything about “tall poles.” The people that need the VABB, to work from home to save the environment. to try to bring more revenue to the county, are entitled to the same service that I receive. Just because they don't live on Route 211 or in the Town of Washington on a hill, doesn’t mean that they should not have service. Just because it is a risk, doesn't mean you don't take it. Life is full of risks, you have to be willing to take some because if we didn't we would still be eating by kerosene and driving wagon trains. I applaud the BOS and I feel very confident that it will be a risk that was well worth taking. Maybe now is the time for the BOS to consider business licenses for county residents. Do I hear money going back into the treasury? ‘ ^ ' Amy Hitt Amissville RCSSA thanks community The members of the Rappahannock County School Sports Association (RCSSA) would like to thank the Board of Supervisors and county government, the School Board and the community for their vote to support our endeavor to provide lighting at Panther Stadium and the baseball/sottbull complex.

RCSSA is an organization comprised of citizens dedicated to helping the Rappahannock County public school system. We support academics as well as athletics; our members are the same people who are involved with The Headwaters Foundation, CCLC, PTO, CEP, Band Boosters and other volunteer organizations in our community. We donute time, money and hard work to fund and support Rappahannock’s public schools and would embrace any and all assistance in helping us reach our goals.

Down Memory Lane FIrom Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 Years Ago August 1,1968 The new poet office at Sperryville opened for business Monday morning, July 29. Though the interior of the facility is not completely finished and furnished, all postal services are available. Mrs. Mary Quaintance was the first customer in the new post office. Business activity in Rappahannock County was in high gear during the past year, according to a national economic report just released. It shows that it was due chiefly to heavy spending on the part of local consumers, who had more money at their command than in other years. The Rev. and Mrs. Charles F. Glaenzer were guests of honor at a farewell dinner Friday evening at the Parish Hall, attended by a large group of parishioners and other friends. Mr. and Mrs. Glaenzer were presented with gifts from various organizations in the church and received the good wishes of all present. Five youngsters from the Amissville Methodist Church and one from Oak Shade are attending camp this week at the Methodist Camp near Boston, Va. Those at camp are David James, Connie Holmes, Vicki Settle, A1. Harrup, Junior Pullen and Jean Hitt. They were accompanied by their minister, the Rev. W. A. Layman. 25 Years Ago August 4,1983 Representing all the landowners between Ben Venue and Flint Hill, John Ralph petitioned the Rappuhannock supervisors on Monday to lower the speed limit on the five mile section of Route 729 from 55 to 35 miles per hour. "We have a very serious situation. It's a narrow, winding road, Traffic has gotten increasingly heavier and faster. .. .We’ve had some very, very near misses," said Ralph. “The water is hdre to take care of all the gardens in town - and our lawns - but I don't have the means to deliver it,” William Carrigan told the Rappahannock News this weekend, offering water from the lake at Avon Hall to Washington residents who can haul it. Carrigan sunk a pump into his lake this weekend and has solicited assistance from the Washington Volunteer Fire Department in delivering water to town gardens. The Woodville Homemakers Club held their annual picnic at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice O’Bannon on Thursday evening. Members and friends had an enjoyable evening with good food and fellowship. Swimming was also enjoyed. William “Eric” Bear, 111, received scoutings highest honor, the Eagle Scout award, in ceremonies held July 3 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 10 Years Ago July 29, 1998 Mr. and Mrs. Ray Frazier and Christopher accompanied by Mrs. Alvin Atkins of Sperryville attended the Clarke County Fair and Tractor Pull in Berryville on Friday and were surprised to see some of our local country folk competing in the tractor pull. In an interview last Friday, officials of the U. S. Postal Service confirmed that a new Amissville Post Office is still being actively pursued. “Unfortunately." said Richard S. Thompson, USPS Northern Virginia District Manager of Administrative Services, "our first choice location has fallen through, but we made a commitment to the community to explore every possibility. We are going to look at another property in the village , area." On Friday Andrew Burke participated in the Flint Hill parade* with Boy Scout Troop 200. The boys won a trophy, for the Best Appearing Youth Group. Please help us reach our goal of 200 registered kids this week at Amissville Baptist Church's Vacation Bible School so Rev. DeLong will not have to kiss a pig! Compiled by Timothy H. Thompson

Elder Forest Atwood Meets second Sunday at 10 30 a m. headed for her first Olympics. Replacing White will be Virginia veteran Karen O’Connor and Joan Goswell’s Mandiba. O’Connor, 50, will be riding in her fourth Olympics. She competed in Seoul in 1988, Atlanta in 1996 (team silver) and 2000 in Sydney (team bronze.) O’Connor is based in The Plains, where she trains at Jackie Mars’ with husband, and fellow Olympic vet, David O’Connor. The ‘96 medal marked the first husband and wife on the same Olympic podium at a summer games. Karen O’Connor moved to Virginia in early 1977 to train with another Olympic three-day eventer, Jimmy Wofford of Upperville. In May; O’Connor lost her first-string Olympic horse when Theodore O’Connor (no relation) bolted when out hacking with a groom near the training farm and severed tendons and ligaments in a hind leg. The Pan American Games champion was subsequently euthanized, leaving O’Connor with the young Mandiba, at 9 the junior” team horse, as her only Olympic hope. The bay gelding - by Master Imp out of Hello Dolly - was named one of four traveling alternates for the U.S. squad, and has been training in England with the four-man team since late June. When Northern Spy was pulled from the team early on Monday, selectors and veterinarians made a quick assessment of the alternates and chose Mandiba as the fittest, most qualified horse - and the experienced O’Connor a natural pick-up rider — to join the team. In the Olympic three-day event, five team members compete; the top three scores count for the team total. The team now consists of Amy Tryon on Poggio, Phillip Dutton on Connaught, Gina Miles on McKinlaigh and Becky Holder on Courageous Comet. Holder, riding then in her maiden name Douglas, was an alternate for the "96 team from her former base in The Plains. Another of Virginia’s hopes for the 2008 squad. Gordonsv i 1 le- based alternate Bonnie Mosser, pulled her horse Merloch from team consideration due to a minor injury that will return the pair to the U.S. prematurely; traveling alternates that did not get to make the trip to Hong Kong were going to remain in England to compete in the international Burghley three-day event in r Want more?

Horses arrive at Hong Kong's Olympic venue After a half-day journey from Amsterdam, the first batch of 27 horses arrived July 26 at the Sha Tin racecourse in Hong Kong in preparation for the Olympic Equestrian Games that begin Aug. 9. A record number of horses will participate in the Olympic equestrian events in Hong Kong, with about 229 horses from some 40 countries. The horses came from Belgium, Denmark.. Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada and Germany. American horses ship later this week. “I am so pleased with the reports of our veterinarian staff when I visited the stables that all [horses I had traveled well,'’ said Lam Woon Kwong, who is in charge of the equestrian events. “Our experience from last year’s trials has been useful as we are prepared for all conditions...periods of heat or wet weather conditions.” “The accompanying grooms have told us that [the horses! behaved well during the 11-hour flight from Amsterdam." said attending veterinarian Dr. Christopher Riggs. “1 am sure that all horses will etyoy a good roll in the shavings, and have a small feed or light exercise before settling in.” The U.S. three-day event team horses ship from London’s Stansted Airport Wednesday direct to Hong Kong; the dressage team horses also ship Wednesday, direct from Aachen. Germany. Show jumpers ship Aug. 5 from Aachen. October. Merloch will return home soon, according to Messer's Web site.

Rajapaftannoc* Nows Staff Photo/ Jan ClattwOucK BURPLESS: Elizabeth Switzer, 87, at Castietan picked a t6~*nch seedless burpless cucumber from her backyard garden. ‘My garden is my pride and joy9 By Jan Clattkrbuck Special to the Rappahannock News Having a vegetable garden has always been Elizabeth Switzers passion in life. “My garden is my pride and joy* the 87-year-old Castleton resident told a visitor one summer afternoon this week. Visions of red ripe tomatoes and sliced cucumber dance through her imagination as she prepares lunch. And nothing tastes better than hot. buttered summer squash with a dash of salt and pepper, she said. Her vegetable garden has supplemented her table for years and also has spruced up her back yard. Switzer always has had a vegetable garden throughout her life. Five years ago her daughter, Lois Alther, began helping and taking it over, planting it each year and keeping it clear of weeds. Just because her daughter took it over did not stop Switzer from going out ana gathering vegetables from the garden when needed. She still claims it as her own garden. She is a woman with a heart of gold and gladly shares her vegetables with her family, friends and neighbors. The 16-inch seedless burpless cucumber went to a lucky person - her pastor. John K. Burke. Along with her vegetable garden. Switzer er\joys her flowers. “Give me my flowers while 1 am living; not when I gone “she said.

All Thursday. July 3t. 2008 Countryside Rappahannock News Local company wins awards Building houses one step at a time By Barbara Anout Spwvttki to thw RapM«i'<>ani«.k N#w* As a boy Mike Puskar was always in the woods building dub houses and tow torts near his home iia Annandaie. Va. Today, the 44-yearold Rappahannock resident has an awardwinning construction company in Flint Hill that over the past six years has won top awards in Washingtonian Magazine's Residential Design competition, and this year was no different. M. T Puskar Construction Company working with three different architects, won three out of 11 of the 200B Washingtonian Residential Design Awards. 'Hie company which consistently places in a pool of up to 140 entries, was featured in the June issue of the magazine. The awards were sponsored by the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and Washingtonian. Last year, Puskars company which is located at the old Adeen factory site, was named one of 2b top contractors in the DC. metropolitan area and the company has been published in over 20 hardcover hooks. “Building is the process of creating,* said Puskar in a recent interview. “We are never doing the same thing twice. It is always different.* One of Puskars award-wuuiing homes is a contemporary addition - joined harmoniously with a tracktional home - in Rappahannock and featured on Hi.*TV iVeam Builders. It is the home of Robert and Elizabeth Haskell in 'Tiger Valley. 'The Haskells speak highly of working with Puskars company during the construction of the addition. “They were great to work with and subsequently we have become friends with several of them." staid Robert Haskell. "We interviewed builders and selected this company because of their vitpvmKV with glass* and metuL and felt they were the beet mutch tv mwt the needs of this job." he said “They did all the metal tabneat ton themselves. The addition took a little longer than either of us expected, but they met dene lines* and the work was* of excellent quality." For Puskar construction. no project is too large or too small, and the company's motto it* that there be ALA award-winning quality in every project they undertake. l\iskar construction purchased the Aileen tactorv site from the county three years ago when it relocated from Alexandria to expand its capacity. County administrator John McCarthy said that the county hud sold the site hoping that the purchaser would both improve it and bring economic development and employment to the county The construction company seems to have done just that. It has invested over $300,000 in building improvement, including roof demolition, creation of otfree space* with air conditioning and site improvement The company is preparing to improve another part of the old feretory with the goal of manufacturing trusses and wall panels. Twenty of the 34 acres remain agricultural with fish ponds and two-acre deer plots on the property In terms of economic development. the company has completed eight projects in the county, with several others in process. They have employed up to U county residents, depending on project needs. A strength ot the company is client satisfaction and low employee turnover rate, according to Puskar wwhwv M t K'usMi CwtuttygtiQfi Company WM> *it* RENOVATION: M.T, Puskar construction renovate an histone tog house m Castleton while maintaining the integrity Qt the anginal structure and layout. _ Phyttt e>v It HitymonU got DYNAMIC TWO: Mike Puskar, president. left Mark Primeeu. vice president and general manager, and Chris Stanton, senior vice president are the top officials of the award-winning M.

Editor's Remarks in this, our fourth annual issue of the Rappahannock Guide, we want to celebrate the beauty and bounty of our land. The acres upon acres of scenic pastures, rolling hills and mountain views provide a landscape that many of us reverently call God’s Country." All one has to do. whether a tourist or a native, is drive west on Route 211 and look at the beckoning heavens above Massie’s Comer to know that this is a paradise worth preserving from the development that knocks on our borders. The land provides farmers with bounnful fruits and vegetables, a lot of which is organic. Orchards abound where families can pick their own apples, cherries, peaches, strawberries, blueberries and com. The land is well suited to grow grapes for some of the best wines Virginia has to offer. Beautiful vineyards dot the landscape in Rappahannock bringing visitors from the cities to wine-tastings in the county on weekends. i nere is a movement in aappanannock to buy fresh. buy local and have a community food system. One of its proponents is Kenner Love. Rappahannock's agent with the Virginia Cooperative Extension office. He says a community food system would include farmers' markets, community and school gardens, community supported agriculture farms, U pick operations and roadside farm stands, community kitchens, small scale food processors and decentralized storage facilities. Some of these items already are in place in Rappahannock, including a school program teaching students how to farm and grow vegetables which eventually wind up on lunch and dinner rabies. There is also a movement in Rappahannock by the Virginia Organic Producers and Consumers Association to encourage more people to farm the land. This is a result of consumer demand for more food to come from local farming communities. When you visit our section on farms, orchards and nurseries you will see some JO listings, including nine orchards, three nurseries and over a dozen farms that raise everything from dairy goats to llamas. There's even a farm that raises beautiful white doves for spectacular releases at such events as weddings, graduations and funerals. One of the nursertes is said to be the East Coast's premiere source of Japanese maples. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy locally grown foods in any of our restaurants, ranging from a cozy family-style restaurant to the world renown Inn at Little Washington. Rappahannock County is a treasure located 67 miles west ot Washington. D.C. Many of its residents belong to organizations with a common goal - keep Rappahannock open and green. We salute those who have this vision, who strive to keep Rappahannock's rich heritage, its beauty and its bounty. . Mary Ann Kuhn, Editor Rappahannock News About the cover Rappahannock resident Richard Lykes. a freelance photographer for the Rappahannock News, took the stunning landscape photograph of Rappahannock County on the cover of this year's guide. It was taken on Kogg Mountain looking towards the Blue Ridge Mountains and The Peak. ’ Both he and freelance photographer E. Raymond Boc provided us with photos from their remarkable private collections to show the beauty and bounty of the land as well as the animals that graze it. Graphic designer Kerry Stavely created the cover to complement this year’s theme celebrating the bounty of the land. Interior pages were designed by senior page designer Michelle Burdette. Alexander Sharp VUI. a freelance reporter, helped coordinate the listings for each category in the guide Castleton artist Tom Pepper created the intricate village etchings found throughout the guide. Lastly, editorial assistant Ian Clatterbuck helped in researching and proofreading the guide Rappahannock Quick Takes 7,203 Rappahannock's population in 200b. according tq the U.S. Census Bureau.
