(Photo courts* rchsi By Stephen Dabbing Rappahannock News Staff Writer The athletic field lights on as the sun set last Friday, and the crowds were arriving early to inaugurate the new lights at Rappahannock County High School’s Panther Stadium. The high school's football team did not disappoint as it easily rolled over Massanutten Military Academy 38-6. The phrase “Friday night lights'* which could be heard by fans and seen on T-shirts* seemed to be a little cliche, but for a small community with no big-time sporting events - save perhaps horse races — it was a big deal. Not that football is the only game in town. The girls' volleyball team has been superb this year. But the new lights illuminated a whole new scene for county sports fans. The atmosphere was like an impromptu carnival - with face painting, vendors selling T-shirts and the concession stand busily flipping up burgers from Adams Custom Slaug|&er; a local Amissville beef business. Even the rain that misted in toward the end of the game could* n’t dampen spirits. Indeed, some spectators were also a little lit up in their own way as well. Democratic candidate for Congress. Anita Hartke, also came by to watch the game and work the crowd a little. Several sheriff’s deputies were on hand to keep things under control, and Sheriff Connie Smith made an incognito appearance, out of uniform.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.reppnews.com THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30,2006 Civility To paraphrase Thomas Hobbes - the 16th century English philosopher - this campaign has been nasty, brutish and long. Hobbes was speaking about what distinguished society from the state of nature; primarily a deliberate, dispassionate, and reasoned consensus called the social contract. In a word, civility More often these days we would rather reduce our participation in society to bumper sticker slogans and the emotions of entitlement, exclusivity, and isolation. No need to bother with the details, labels are better and whether it is left or right, liberal or conservative, the meaning behind the labels has long since become lost as they are shouted across a vast chasm of deliberate misunderstanding or willful ignorance. , Thoughtful consideration is nowhere present. People seem to cling to their own fear even in the face of overwhelming evidence of harmful repercussions affecting not only distant ‘others’, but their neighbors, their friends, their families.. .even themselves. Often it seems that America has become trapped by a cult of igfUntSGt fettf fear, of the blithely self-righteous, suecumbing to base emotion over often difficult and deliberate reason. The discord has reached screaming intensity, with each side hurling ever greater insults and aspersions including racist incitements, fear mongering in the extreme, violent threats alluded and condemnation of any view that is counter to whichever position one decides to retreat within. Everyone seems to blame the other for our present condition, but no one seems to be willing to yield their position. This is ridiculous. A representative democracy requires consensus and reasoned debate. It assumes differences, it does not exclude them. The only real America is the one in which peoples of all cultures, religions and races can deliberate together and reach a consensus. We are hoping that whatever the outcome of the election, that the real America will once again step forward and take a rightful place as the leader among enlightened nations. To do that, we need to realize that everyone counts, that none hold monopoly on truth and that abiding together with our glorious differences is the only way forward. ‘Strongest reason not to vote for John McCain is his running mate selection’ Your Oct. 23 editorial was interesting; but I didn't entirely agree with it. I personally believe that about the strongest reason not to vote tor John McCain is his running mate selection. Given McCain’s age (same as mine) and medical histury (happily for me, mine is better), a vote for Mr. McCain might in fact turn out to be a vote for Sarah Palin at* at least Acting President if not the whole deal. Does the Rappahannock News endorse Sarah Palin for President? Robert T. Dennis Flint Hill Out of the Attic This cartoon ran in the October 26. 1969 edition of the Rappahannock News. 1 r you'IL ts-'m Hft/E TO_ WAIT UNTIL NOV. TTH-WE.«[ MAY ®t 4X°c /CL) -- to some tricks then/ Letters Poll of 70 countries shows Obama is preferred candidate I understand McCain’s appeal to the publisher of the Rappahannock News. However, the supportive editorial leaves out one very important challenge to be faced - the conduct of foreign affairs. In an increasingly interconnected world, America's future depends on our ability to carry out an effective foreign policy that will advance our national interests abroad. We can do so only if we improve America's currently very low standing in the world community. According to a just-released Gallup poll of 70 countries, Obama is the preferred candidate by a margin of 4 to 1. Also. The Economist online global election has McCain carrying only three nations: Cuba, Macedonia and Georgia. Clearly, if Obama wins, this country will be well on the way to repairing its image abroad. If the November verdict goes the other way, the opposite will be true. Norman Getsinger Foreign Service Officer. Retired Flint Hill ‘I believe there is only one choice" The preamble to our Constitution, created by James Madison, adopted by convention of states in 1787: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. My forefathers had been in America 57 years before the Constitution was written. I shudder to think what they might say when reviewing the current state of our country and American society in general. Freedom was the reason my forefathers left a relatively secure Europe and ventured to America to make a living from the land. They risked everything, including their own lives, to provide opportunity for themselves and for my family. As we face the decision of who to cast a vote for in this coming election, the right paid for by the blood of many courageous Americans, let’s look at these five points: 1. “In order to form a more perfect union.’’ A better, not bigger government. Not fat laden with earmarks and pork written into law, paid for by our hard-earned money, to promote the selfish causes of elected officials. 2. “Establish justice.” By choosing judges based on their ability to understand and interpret the constitution. Not to legislate from the bench. 3. “Insure domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense.” When the world altering phone call comes at 3 a.m., which candidate do you trust in answering? A war hero with a lifetime of experience in making difficult decisions; or one who has NEVER made an executive decision? 4. “Promote general welfare.” This isn't referring to Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s great society or the welfare state, which has proven to be an abject failure. It means allowing Americans the freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. On our own. not entitlements from the government. 5. “Secure the blessings of liberty.'* Allowing: all Americans the right to secure their future. Not class warfare, by making the financially successful, the entrepreneurs, or. Joe the plumber, “spread their wealth.” Do you want a most inexperienced presidential candidate, the most liberal voting senator. Barack Obama, to be our next president? A man who would sign into law all of the Felosi, Reid socialist, big spending, and high taxing legislation? What about our sacred liberties? The rights of the unborn? The right to protect ourselves and our property? The right to work hard and achieve success, without the government taking as much of our money as they see lit? If we consider our forefathers and what they would think of our current state of affairs, l believe there is only one choicer John McCain for President. Iterry Dixon Castleton ‘I am so proud of Barack Obama* The crux of the editorial endorsing John McCain ^ Oct. 23) seems to be saying that McCain would be leading in the polls if it weren’t for the worldwide economic crash. The Rappahannock News characterizes the collapse of the economy as a confluence of events, totally by chance - like a “perfect storm* that blew up over the horizon out of nowhere. In an 11-sentence piece, the newspaper refers to the financial meltdown as a “remarkable coincidence.* It describes it as “unpredictable.* The editorial said twice that it was “unexpected* and four times that it was “sudden* or happened “suddenly.* This observation is naive and simplistic. The collapse of the world economic market didn’t happen overnight or just by chance. It happened over eight years of President Bush letting Wall Street and mortgage lenders “self-regulate.* And John McCain is much to blame. He, himself has said that he voted with George Bush over 90 percent of the time. That doesn’t sound much like an “outsider* to me. How someone who spent his entire career as part of the Washington Establishment defines himself as an “outsider* is beyond me. Moreover, once again John McCain, himself said early in his campaign that the economy is not his strung suite. John McCain is not a victim of the economic collapse. He is much to blame for it. And he has no idea how to get us out of it So it should come as no surprise to the Rappahannock News that John McCain is behind in the □oils. This is a reflection of the tact that McCain is as much to blame for the near destruction of the American economy as President Bush and that, by his own words, he doesn't really understand how the economy works. As a general rule. Americans don't like it when you run their country into the ground. John McCain was complicit with President Bush - “fiddling while Rome burns." It is interesting that the newspaper didn't even mention Sen. McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin. McCain’s naming Palin certainly seems newsworthy and is an event that occurred since the newspaper's last endorsement of McCain. The twelfth amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that the only function of the vice president is to be “eligible* to be president. Does the Rappahannock News believe that Gov. Palin is qualified to be president? 1 don't. And I believe Sen. McCain's choice is reckless and disrespectful of the American people. As to John McCain's military service, “do we owe him a debt of gratitude?* You bet - just like all those men and women who have served or are serving, including the tens of thousands who have been killed or wounded in our unjust war in Iraq. We owe them all our gratitude - equally. There’s another thing that John McCain keeps saying that I just can’t reconcile. He keeps harping on his concern about Government (with a big “O”) intervening in the provision of health care. (And just to be clear, the government already provides direct assistance in the form of Medicare and Medicaid.) Why is it that he hus a problem with the government ensuring that Americans are able to get affordable health care for themselves and their families? He didn't have a problem with helping out Wall Street. Nor did he have a problem with the government - not just intervening in - but BUYING mortgage lenders and insurance companies. It’s pretty clear to me for whom he is watching out. Do you feel more financially secure than you did eight years ago? Is your dollar going further? Do you feel like more jobs are being created at home and not be outsourced abroad? Do you like the direction in which the country is headed? If you do, then you have the Republicans to thank (and, by the way, John McCain IS a Republican) and you should vote for John McCain. Or do you feel like me, that our country is perilously close to the edge and that we need a LEADER. We need someone who can not only lead us OUT of this financial disaster and restore our responsible standing in the world but who can lead us INTO a new way of thinking and a new way of building our economy. To a place where there is equal pay for equal work. Where there is an appreciation of our responsibility to the world to not act recklessly but with a moral sense of duty. Where we recognize the sanctity of the individual and embrace diversity (remember, we’re supposed to be the “Melting Pot.”) I believe Burack Obama is the person who will do this for our great country. I am so proud of our country and I am so proud of Barack Obama. Hal Creel Woodville 'If you elect Obama, you will pay for everything you receive’ “A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it” (Ben Franklin, September 1787.) This i« the government instituted in Philadelphia, which has allowed the United States to pros* per beyond the imagination of any in the history of the world. This natiun. so eminent that when it falters even briefly, the whole world economy shudders, was derived from a Constitution “to secure the Blessings of Liberty land responsibilities! to ourselves and our posterity”: not a Socialist State! I have re-read Article 11 of the Constitution, looking in vain tor the President’s charter to “be neighborly” and “spread it \ around.” Barack Obama is lying to you about the “taxes” (which include $t>4M in welfare re-distri butions) he proposes; he is tying to you about who he considers the “rich” (which apparently does not include the convicted Tony Rezco who helped him buy his $3M house); he is lying to you about the medical care you would be provided; and he certainly intends to lie when he swears to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America” (Article 11. Section 2) - because Obama has promised to exercise powers to which he is not entitled by our Constitution. His inspiration tor running things is Saul Alinsky's “Kules tor Radicals,” which he studied and practiced while working with ACORN; not our Constitution. And the world has repeatedly discovered that once a government has assumed dictatorial powers, they are not easily (and rarely non-violently) recovered. I have been proud of my country my whole life. Michele Obama: l did not carry a green military ID card tor ‘<25 years to defend socialism. I have uot agreed with everything that government did. but l upheld my oath to “support and defend* a system that devolved authority and responsibility to the people to choose right themselves, not to huve some bureaucrat decide how much of my “pursuit of happiness* is mine to dispense. I pray that our electorate realizes that there is no free lunch: if you elect Obama, you will pay for everything you receive, and tK n some; but it will be dispensed at the whims of federal bureaucrats.

Woodville donor says his campaign contribution omitted Thav© reason to contest Athe accuracy of an article on local contributions to the presidential candidates which appeared in the Oct. 23 Rappahannock News (reported by www.rappvoice.com.) Although I believe that one’s personal donations should be a private matter. I suppose, since they are a matter of public record, that there’s nothing other than good taste standing in the way of their publication. For whatever reason, or possibly through oversight, the Woodville Zip Code. 22749, was not included as a separate entity in your report. Strangely, the sole Woodville resident men tioned was included with the Boston donors, who are credited with grand totals of $1,445 for McCain and $3,600 for Obama. The Woodville Zip Code remains valid despite there no longer is an actual Woodville post office. Mail addressed to 22749 is delivered through the Boston post office, but by a carrier who has the Woodville contract. So, there is no reason to have included a Woodville contribution with those from Boston. Particularly so since at least one other Woodville donor was left out. 1 refer specifically to myself. My contribution to McCain's campaign was three times that attributed to the Woodviile area resident mentioned, and $55 more than the total of ail mentioned donations to McCain from the Boston and Woodviile areas combined (if they were combined. entirely). This brings McCain to within $655 of Obama in that territory, and would most likely have put McCain well ahead in Woodviile. had our postal zone been listed separately as others were. Furthermore, there may well have been Woodviile residents other than myself whose contributions also were omitted. John Cadwalader Woodviile Note from James P. Gannon. editor of wuiw.rap' pvoice.com: The Woodville Zip Code (22T49) was mistakenly omitted from the article through an oversight. The donor records reported by the Center for Responsive Politics report a single contribution of $501 made August 15. 2008. to John McCain from John Cadwalader Jr. The only other contribution to McCain from a person using the Woodville Zip Code is a $250 donation from Don R. Clay made June 19. 2008. As the article noted, the records included campaign finance reports filed up to Oct. 19 and do not include donations made in September or later Democrat Barack Obamas contributions from the Woodmlle Zip Code, according to the records, totaled $3,250. Included were two donations from Selma Thomas totaling $2,300. two donations from Monica Johnson totaling $750. and one donation from Cole Johnson of $200 — apparently from the same person, since both are identified in records as executive director of Headwaters. Had all of the donations reported from the Woodville Zip Code been included in the article, Obama s countywide lead in donations ivould have widened to a total of $30,650 vs. $14,947for McCain. Though Hobert Darby in Obama is ‘a harbinger of society to come* Eave something in comion with Barack Obama, and I am not speaking of political party preference. We both lived in Hawaii and we both graduated from Punahou School. My father was an Army officer stationed at CINCPAC (and I’ve forgotten the significance of the initials). But suffice it to say that our family had scored a four-year stay on the island of Oahu. We were assigned quar ters at Ft. Kamehameha which was a small residential area of WWII-era, termite-ridden houses nestled between Pearl Harbor Channel and a naval air base. Every weekday I would board an Army-green school bus for the ride into Honolulu and our drop off at Punahou. Set on a sprawling campus encompassing several city blocks, Punahou is a private. 12grade school established by Christian missionaries back in 1841 when Hawaii was still a native island culture. After spending my childhood in Caucasian enclaves including Ft. Sill, Okla.. and the suburbs of Chicago and Washington, D.C., I was in culture shock. My classmates were every hue from pale white to yellow, tan and brown. It was almost impossible to categorize anyone, because most students were a mixture of several nationals First football game under stadium lights was ‘awesome* The first “Friday Night under the Lights Football” game for Rappahannock County High School was awesome. Good job Rappahannock County School Sports Association, and many, many thanks for all who were responsible for making it happen, t hope that everyone who was them and epjoyed the lights will donate whatever they can to help the RCSSA with the costs. Congratulations Panthers on a great win and a great season. L. Tbrrance Ami Seville & II community to pull off undertakings' I would like to express my deepest and since rest appreciation to all the sponsors who so generously gave their financial support and to the many others who so generously gave their time and talents to the inaugural Lucy Grace 5K Race: Roy Wheeler Realty, Kreyling Construction, the Corner Store, Mount Vernon Farms.

The most status, however, was accorded to anyone who had at least £0 percent Hawaiian blood. But I adapted quickly. At 14 years old l was excited to be wearing sandals and 'hnuumuus" (waistless, flowered dresses) to class. On special occasions we wore leis (necklaces of flowers), and twice a year we were allowed to attend class barefoot. What really resonated with me and has shaped my adult life is the melting put of ethnic groups that thrived on that small island As teenagers we did not worry about the color of our friends' skin or the heritage of their parents. We took them for who they were as individuals. I had crushes on boys who l thought were cute, but I could not identify their race. They might be Polynesian and Chinese and Portuguese with a little Caucasian thrown into the mix. Who knew, and truly few cared. So when Barack Obama speaks of a global community, I know where he is coming from. He has lived it first hand. In the innocence of childhood, he learned to judge another person by how they behaved, not by their ethnic group. I can only imagine the jolt he experienced when he first encountered racial prejudice on the “Mainland.'’’ Obama has the unique experience of never living the typical AfricanAmerican experience until he began college. He is both multi-cultural and multi-racial and. in my opinion, a harbinger of society to come. However the election is decided. I am grateful that a man of humble beginnings in a melting-pot society has had the honor of running for president of the United States.

John Volk had bm driving on I-ong Mountain Road wham it intersects with Battle Run Road whan a dear ran in front of his truck causing him to swerve and overturn.

Homecoming From Page Ai ($&,000) _ which is used to pay for the football program — was double owr their previous single event record said Diley In fact, said Diley he missed the halftime show because they had to tire up another gnll to meet demand for more burgers. The crowd has been estimated at 800. but it certainly seemed like a lot more. The game was exciting and well-played, the band was excellent, the cheerleaders exuberant. At halftime the homecoming court was presented to the tans in the stands. School Board superintendent Bob Chappell said. “As predicted, tar more residents were able to come to the Friday night event than the typical Saturday afternoon crowd.'* Rappahannock scored on their first possession and dominated the entire game.

Africa - more than any other place — has defined Johns’ career and his life. It was in Africa that he met his wife. He wrote two books about Africa. The people who told him about Rappahannock County he met in Africa; Paul and Marti Henze who live in Rock Mills met Johns by chance in Ethiopia. And die experiences he had, the stories he told and the photographs he made about Africa are all what brought him to whine he is today vyu a com tau evening, with the sun setting over Old Bag, tar. far from the blistering heat of Africa — “Take your hottest day in August in Rappahannock and dial it up 15 degrees and you have some idea.* said Johns — he sat down to talk about his career as a photographer mid journalist. Johns, 57, looking fit and relaxed, and his four energetic dogs met this reporter at the top of his gravel drive which wound around his Hill from the highway; to talk about his life and experiences. As the sun set. and an October chill fell over the beautiful view, Johns recalled the experiences that led him to being recognized by his perns, editing a world famous magazine, and living the country life in Rappahannock. Dressed in jeans, fleece vest, western shirt and belt, and hiking shoes - granola western - Johns talked about his early career, his family, the importance of documenting disappearing cultures, and his dogs, but most of the time he talked about Africa.

Photo courtaqy Nottona* Gflogrtiphir MiQ&bn^ Johns, a native af Medford. Ore.. — a former railroad town now regional center sitting at the foot of the Cascades and within sight of ML McCloughiin. a 9,500 toot long dormant shield volcano — went to school to become a vet. One semester he took a journalism class and wrote a story an plant pathology Ha borrowed a camera to do the story but pathological plants are not where Johns aided UPHis junior year he started to work for the school newspaper Johns wait an to the University of Minnesota to get a journalism degree and began working for small newspapers. After years of covering: everything from high school football to the World Series, working for Time. Life Newsweek and the National Geographic — for which he collaborated on his “breakthrough story” on the famous western sculptor Frederick Remington — Johns got the assignment of a lifetime in 1985: lb photograph and document Africa's Great Rift Valiev The Rift is a geological trough of diverging continental plates, which runs from the Lebanon/Syria border in the north, through Ethiopia* Kenya and Tanzania to Mozambique in the south — a distance of over 3,700 miles. Along its course are some of the deepest and hottest places an the planet passing through hostile environments, past wars, bandits wad the aaati** sionai lust Frenchman. It is the birthplace of man, and contains the deepest and hottest places cm the Earth. and cultures untouched until recently by modernization, Johns h«r> read about these places as a youth — Hemingway and British explorer Sir Wilfred Thesiger — and had always dreamed of going there. "That camel picture.'* as he called it was one of the first pictures he took in Africa, in a tiny country an the Gulf of Aden wedged between Ethiopia and Somalia called Djibouti. Johns met his wife there - who winked for the USIAin Ethiopia - and both she ami her boss (the late John Burns of the US. Embassy in Addis Abbaba) were instrumental in getting him access to places like the Dunakil Depression. and the Rift Valiev Lakes where the salt caravans would cross the desert and dunes to ply their trade. The depression - which is 450 feet below the sea level — is filled by water seeping through fissures and cracks from the Red Sea and spreading out on the valley floor to become literally lakes of salt. Johns - and his two “minders” Mohamed and Mohamed - would spend weeks in the desert with the Alar people, desert pastoralists who traded salt and herded goats. “They were tall, thin and very handsome people.” said Johns who also remarked that they were very fierce and. “really good shots” with their AK-47s. Did he ever feel uncomfortable? “Well, you know, there were a couple of times.” begins Johns and one might expect a tale of bandits and daring escape. “You know it s really hot.” he said nonchalantly referring to the local climate. Where were the bandits? “I was mugged once outside my rental house in Johannesburg.” said Johns. Johns then explained about the short-cut across the salt lake with Mohamed ami Mohamed. There is actual water in these lakes - very salty water - which are covered over by a thick crust of salt. As he tells it. they decided that if camels could cross over the crust - as they had seen the Afar do - then so could their two ton Land Cruisers. Besides, it was an extra two days hot driving if they went around the lake instead of across it. One af the Land Cruisers fell through the crust. They did. uf course, eventually pull it out. but it illustrated how perilous the desert can be. Most of the time, they wouldn't travel during the day, but would dig pits aver which they parked the Land Cruisers and would spend the heat of the day reading books, playing chess or practicing bad French for the occasion of having to rescue “some French guy" who cradled his motorcycle in the desert (they did). Johns also spent time with the Afar. Uved with them in their portable huts, ate their food, ft was some of the most delicious goat he ever tasted, he said, as it was slow cooked in sealed earthen ovens and rubbed with Berber spice — a mixture of red pepper saffron, salt and other spices, Johns eventually traveled the length of the rift in East Africa from Djibouti to Malawi —spending two years in Kenya — and also into South Africa where he met Nelson Mandela and covered the transition from Apartheid. In 1989, Johns married Elizabeth in Nairobi, Kenya. Later that yean they moved to Rappahannock County where they have lived since. -,Their children have been ; bom and raised here, and Johns has settled in to the more measured pace of life in the country Asked why he chose to leave the adventure and excitement of field journalism and become editor - especially at a magazine like National Geographic — he said it was the separation from family that was the primary reason he could give that up. “The reality'* said Johns, “was that the carefree life of covering stories was difficult to sustain.-' There is a rootlessness and separation that is incompatible with family he said. You don't ever get the sense that Johns' career has been some well-intentioned and deliberate arc of success. He's just done what he found he had a passion foe; and that passion was cradled by hie family Both of Johns’ parents were educators - his hither was an elementary school principal - and his hither encouraged him to be as good as he could at whatever he chose to do. He speaks with a soft reverence when talking about his parents - they both passed away withing the last three years — and he realized that he needed to give to his children what his parents had given to him, and that is why — when he was approached to come in from the road to be picture editor in 2001 — he said yes. By 2003. Johns was responsible for the visual layout of the entire magazine, and when in 2005 then-editor Bill Allen asked if Johns would be interested in leading the he again said yes. Of the three-and-a-half years he has been editurdnchiefc Johns said he loves it. He sees the National Geographic as a bridge between cultures and as an opportunity to address the great issues of our time. Never did Johns dream of being recognized for his work as editor, but he is still pleased and honored by the award. Elizabeth, a graduate uf the University ofVirgima. and whose tiither and grandfather were both in the foreign service was asked if they ever planned to go hack to Africa. "Oh yes." she said. Tm sure well go bock...we both love Africa."

Countryside Library of Congress facility aims to ‘collect it alF By Skip Miller Rappahannock. News Staff Writer One day a man in New York City, name of Frank Schwartz, carried a tape recorder when he left home. He recorded street sounds, neighbors' complaints, conversations with policemen, everything. For who-knows-howlong he carried the tape recorder wherever he went. He accumulated thousands of tapes, filled with even more thousands of hours of New York City as he encountered it in his daily life. All of those tapes are lined up in orderly rows at the Library of Congress’ Packard Campus on Mt. Ftmy. which overlooks the town of Culpeper on the southeastern side, at the intersection of routes 3 and 522. The facility houses millions of audio and visual material that presents a sort of show-and-tell of more than a century of Americana. The purpose of the 45acre facility is to give people access to this vast collection of American history, Gregory Lukow explained. “We have three preservation labs that digitize copies from the originals.** he said. The copies are being made available for research, public showings, or additions to the libraries of the film industry. The copies also are sent to the Library of Congress in Washington and to a storage facility at an undisclosed site in Northern Virginia. That latter as a 911 induced safety precaution. Lukow said. Photos by Jamie Haverhamp John Sneisan, Rim Specialist at the Library of Congress Packard Campus, displays water-damaged nitrate film that is stored in a temperature controlled vault. Mike Mashon. who heads the video collection, said, “We're really about access. This is preservation for access. We have the original film - sometimes the only copy - from the 1890s all the way up to your favorite television show from a few years ago.” In many cases, preserving the material required preserving the machinery and technology with which it was recorded or viewed. The campus includes a 205-seat theater. The public can go there and. free of charge, watch classic movies from the 1930s, 40s. and 50s. Many of those movies were recorded on a nitratebased film that was not used idler 1951. Nitrate film is highly flammable and self-destructive if not properly stored. Projectors that can show that kind of film haven't been used in decades. No problem. Technicians went to work to rebuild the equipment that can show not only nitrate films, but the 35and 70-millimeter film formats. “We are one of five projection houses that can show nitrate film stock.'* Lukow said. Many of the films were from the silent movie era. That required building a replica of a 1929 Wurlitsser organ, complete with 40 speakers, housed in The Library of Congress’ Packard Campus on Mt. Pony overlooks Culpeper. its own pit beneath the screen stage. As with most of the material housed by the Library of Congress, copies of millions of films and audio recordings were stored as part of the copyright process. That, however, did not account for tilms made before 1912. “We have tilms such as the 1909 Great Train Robbery that were not covered by copyright,” Mashon _ said. many or me works in the nitrate film collection are “orphan films," he said. “We have the only copies of them. Some were made by defunct studios. Some ore B Westerns. Some ore educational and industrial films." Gathering them depends on the generosity of individual collectors. A man in Duck River. Term., for example, added to a collection that was begun by his father. It is called the Maddox Collection, and many of the movies in it are the Casdeton Theatre performance on Nov. 2 to benefit Krebser Fund The legendary English actress Claire Bloom returns to the Castleton Theatre with the internationally renowned flutist Eugenia Zukerman, famed also for her acclaimed work as a writer and television journalist, on Sunday, Nov.

Castleton. only known copies. Why collect and preserve modern-day work? “Much of it is on videotape,* Mashon said. “Videotape deteriorates with time. Nothing surpasses preserving on 35-millimeter film.* Deterioration is not a problem in the recording division of the campus. Much of the collection has extraordinary durability. The problem is playing material recorded before the record industry standardized groove widths and playback speeds. Once those problems have been solved, it is an easier step to make digital copies. The facility is seeking unpublished collections. It doesn't want a recording of Gene Autry singing Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. But it definitely wants an unpublished interview of Autry explaining how he came to write the song. To find that original work, audio engineers and technicians sift through the 100,000 recordings received each year. Storing the material requires an immense capacity. The result is what is The public can watch classic movies in the theater. believed to be the largest audio/visual digital storage system in the world. Its purpose. Mashon said, is not to go after popular or known material. The purpose is to go after all of it. “We don't worry about its downstream use.” he said. Getting to that point, however, required a trip down technology's memory lane. “We had to be able to play original material,” Lukow said. "Were designed to be the last place on earth that can play the obsolete formats.” Book Barn holds silent auction of collectibles By Anne B.
