With him is happy owner Clyde Humphrey. ‘Silver’ takes two Grand Championships At the prestigious Virginia Classic Llama Show last weekend in Lexington, Va., a llama from Rappahannock County's West Wind Farm named Silver Aspen won Grand Champion Halter (confirmation) and Grand Champion Advanced Performance (packing, obstacles and public relations competitions). The show, held at the Virginia Horse Center on March 14 and 15, had over 600 llamas and alpacas from 14 states. West Wind Farm owners Gwen Hays and Clyde Humphrey of Castleton took four of their male llamas to compete with the best the East Coast has to offer. Each of the four got blue ribbons and Silver went on to take the two Grand Championships - a very rare occurrence, according to Hays. Llamas often excel in halter or performance, but rarely in both. Silver’s stable-mate, West Wind's Perseus, finished close behind Silver and won Reserve Grand Champion in Advanced Performance. The other two. West Wind's Leo and West Wind's Bootes (Boo for short; he was born near Halloween) won Reserve Champion and Third Overall in their Novice Performance Division. Tempers flare with lawyers at council meeting By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer Building a state-of-the-art sewer collection and treatment system in the town of Washington seems to be easier than writing the ordinance to govern its use. While contractors dig away and make quick work of the newT sewer, town property owners, their lawyers, and the town council continue to hammer at each other over ordinance details, seemingly accomplishing little, case in point the March 11 joint town council/planning commission public hearing that lasted three and a half hours. Of the proposed service district - a special tax district which would apply only to sewer users in the first construction phase, and which was only recently introduced - David Fiske, attorney for The Inn at Little Washington, said, “This is a bad idea. I can think of no reason why you have to do it." Town attorney John Bennett fired back in a lengthy exchange between the two, with other lawyers joining in, for what seemed like most of an hour. “You want a service district because you w ant to make sure everyone pays their fair share," said Bennett. While tempers flared at the meeting, outside town hall some property owners have privately stated they intend to sue the town if their concerns are not addressed. An attorney, who has been retained by one property owner, was contacted by the Rappahannock News inquiring about potential legal action against the town. He said simply, “No comment" The contention is over three issues: The creation of a new tax district, an easement agreement that gives “carte blanche" to the town wnth little liability recourse to property ownei's, and certain sections of a sewer ordinance that make it unclear who will pay what once the ordinance has passed, according to attorneys involved in discussions with the town. In essence, these have to do with fairness, liability and taxation. There are some cooler heads. Peter Luke, town property owner and attorney, said, “I think there's been See MEETING, Page A8 Piedmont Broadband goes down; Tom Gordon removed from board By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last week, users of Piedmont Broadband - a wireless Internet service first introduced by former Rappahannock County resident Tom Gordon through his company eOffice, later reformed with new ownership - noticed they could no longer sign on. There were some baffled postings on Rappnet (the county’s email list serve or Internet bulletin board) about the loss of service. There was a message that was forwarded from Piedmont that cited “technical issues.” Another email said the issue was “due to a major electrical/ server equipment snafu.” Eventually, the Rappahannock News learned that the “technical issues” coincided with two events: Tom Gordon - a shareholder and member of the board at Piedmont - requested on Monday that the Sheriff’s Office enforce a stay away order to prevent Rich Shoemaker - president and majority stockholder — from gaining access to proper ty that housed Piedmont equipment here in the county. “One of the Internet connections in our Warrenton fet'd has been disconnected by Mr. Gordon,” s;iid Shoemaker in an interview Wednesday. “We will seek legal action to hook it back up." At a shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday, shareholders by majority vote removed Gordon from the board. James Merritt - a Rappahannock County resident and manager of the Hampton Inn in Warrenton - was appointed to Gordon's seat on the board. The board then removed Gordon of all officer positions he had held at Piedmont, according to Shoemaker. “Mr. Gordon is no longer on the board of directors nor is he an officer of the corporation,” Shoemaker said in an interview Tuesday. “He has no legitimate business dealings See INTERNET, Page A8 Case of the ‘phony9 vacuum salesmen By Stephen Darkinc. Rappahannock News Staff Writer Never underestimate the lengths some alleged burglars will go to actually sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door. It seems it would be easier to be a Wall Street cnxik like Bemie Madoffwith complex finance1 schemes involving billions. But selling vacuum cleaners while potentially casing a joint? That's tough. A story alxiut “well dressed" young men demonstrating “household products" and “forcing “ their way in to homes, showed up in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star on Sunday warning readers about potential Hoover bandits in Rappahannock County...60 miles away. By Monday, an avalanche of sightings, encounters and opinions regarding the men were posted on Rappnetthe county's email list-serve. Some reported that they had been visited bv said pushy salesmen, but that their dogs scared them off. A few said they were offend free air freshener for allowing a demonstration Some calks! 911. One suggested that any vacuum salesman that forced his way into his home would leave head first on a gurney. At the end of the day, and 74 emails later, Rappnet posters were congratulating themselves on being so vigilant. Readers may notice that “vigilant" is just one letter away from “vigilante" Tilings cooled down a little hit after the Sheriffs Office issued a press release' stating “the subjects were* stopped and identified by officers on Friday, March 13." A bit of bad luck for the potential posing thieves as they were all “identified " However, no arrests were made as no actual crime had taken place except the effrontery of, perhaps, being a little rude. “Consider the matter closed." said Major Scott Jenkins of the Sheriff s Office. In fact, one person approached by the vacuum peddling-alleged-potential-thieves liked the demonstration so much, he actually bought a vacuum cleaner. A Kirby with several nice attachments. Meanwhile, everyone is cautioned to kt*ep an eye out for suspicious door-to-door vacuum sale's behavior. Just in case, it’s a cast*. Happy 30th Birthday Happy birthday to Sgt.

It’s convenient to where I live, the benefits are great, and I like the people I work with.” - Karen Meadows Keeping the OR on track In order for surgery’ to take place, our clinical staff needs to have the right medical supplies on hand. That responsibility lies with Karen Meadows, the inventory manager for our hospital’s operating room. “To make sure our patients are taken care of, I have to make sure everything is ready on time,” Karen says. "I buy all of die supplies for the OR—everything from syringes to scalpels to monitors.” Karen just finished a major project that involved moving the hospital's sterile supplies to a new room to free up space for OR equipment. The project involved coming in on the weekend, but Karen didn’t mind. “I have a passion for inventory,” she says. "And I like being able to say I take care of our doctors, nurses, and techs when they need supplies.” Karen also has a passion for Fauquier Health. "For most people, a job is just a job.

We know it must be hard to give up all those unearned perks, that bringing your lunch to work is a hardship, and taking a taxi instead of a limo is really out of the question. It’s not that we really begrudge their arrogant and lazy sense of entitlement. It’s just that people out here are losing their jobs, having to take furloughs, going to the food bank instead of the grocery store, having to actually make sacrifices. All of the corporate idiotic excesses would be okay as long as everyone were chipping in. In the real world, people actually work for a living. We don’t have some glorified, pampered “job” for which we get paid millions for screwing up so bad, it not only takes down a company, but the rest of the country too. We talked to several county residents to see how they are faring economically in this climate. (See Page Al) One person said she shops twice a month rather than weekly, some have seen a drop in business, others lost their jobs. People have a right to be angry at these bailout companies. It would have been better to have let them fail from their own excesses. Letters to the Editor We welcome your opinions and comments.

As the person who originally suggested the idea to the Rappahannock County Lions Club, I must say I was extremely gratified by the enthusiasm and support shown by so many for this new community celebration. Participation in Saturdays parade though the town of Washington exceeded expectations, as so many local groups, individuals, fire and-rescue companies and others joined in the mygr^JDespifcg chilly, damp weather (typical of Ireland this time of year) there was no lack of spirit, color and enthusiasm among the marchers. Thanks to the Rappahannock County High School marching band for its participation, and to all the groups and individuals— and their wonderful animals—for taking part. Community response to the ticketed Irish luncheon, so capably provided by David Huff and his crew from the County Cafe, was beyond our capacity to fully satisfy. The Washington fire hall was packed to capacity with some 140 ticket-holders, and all appeared to have a grand time listening to the Irish band from Charlottesville, King Golden Banshee, and watching the energetic and colorful young Irish step-dancers from Warrenton dance the jigs and reels. Edmund Kavanagh proved to be an able stand-up comic (as .well as parade Grand Marshall) ^wjthhis Irishjokes and blarney. All tickets were sold out more than a week in advance and our only regret was that some who wished to attend were unable to do so, due to space limitations. Now that we know there’s such an appetite for Irish stew and shenanigans at this time of year, we can plan for an even grander celebration next time. Many who attended expressed hope this event will become an annual one, and based on the response, we see no reason why it should not. A special thanks goes to all the Lions Club members who pitched in to make the event a success, and to the local businesses and individuals who became co-sponsors of the event: Stonewall Abbey Cafe, Rappahannock National Bank, Washington Hospitality & Visitors Association, John M. Anderson, Bill and Linda Dietel, Rappahannock Title, Roy Wheeler Realty Co., Culpeper Endodontics, Griffin Tavern, Anilori Celtic House, Barbara Adolfi, Tom and Cheryl Taylor. It was a day for laughter and song, for fellowship and good feeling—a lift to the spirit in these gray days and troubled times. It left all the Irish eyes smiling, and what could be better than that? Thanks to everyone who took part. James P. Gannon Event chairman Lions Club Why is it everyday citizens knew ‘what a lousy idea bailouts were’ but most elected officials didn’t? This is what comes of taxpayer bailouts. Billions of dollars shipped overseas to foreign banks to make them whole. Hundreds of millions of dollars paid out as bonuses to the very executives who helped create the financial crisis. Cronyism and corporate favoritism is on a scale unseen at any time in our country or any county's history. Why is it the regular everyday U.S. citizen knew what a lousy idea bailouts were, whether called TAKP or by any other name, and a majority of our elected officials didn't? And why was it that in the late summer and fall of'08, when these bailouts started, our elected representatives continued to ignore the people, even when their constituents were raising their voices in opposition by as much as two hundred to one? It’s all very well and good to justifiably criticize the Obama administration for continuing this folly, for mortgaging our future to China and other lending countries. It’s important however, to remember where this all startedwith George W. Bush, Henry Paulsen and our own Eric Cantor. Last November, by the time election day rolled around, the Republican party had lost most of its credibility and all of its branding as the party of fiscal responsibility. If AIG, Bank of America, Wells-Fargo and Citicorp executives continue to rip off the American taxpayer why should anyone be surprised? Multinational corporations have long ceased to have any allegiance to our country or its citizens. Their only allegiance is to their international partners and their own narrow' interests. As the CEO of Ford Motor Company publicly stated at a stockholders’ meeting, “We don’t have to start our meetings with a pledge of allegiance to the flag because we’re a multinational corporation." The next time a Wall Street fat-cat or their elected political lackeys reaches out for another taxpayer hand-out, send him to the World Bank. Ronald F.

Some 50 men and boys, 41 of them Rappahannock County Boy Scouts, spent last Saturday picking up trash along the roadway and stream banks in the Washington and Sperryville area. The particular work areas were the portions of the Rush River, North Fork, Thornton River and Piney Branch that are stocked with trout. The scouts, representing all four Rappahannock County troops, this year as last, were the main contributors to this, a Rappahannock Jaycees project. The Highway Department must also be recognized for contributing a dump truck, and particularly Roy Atkins and Roger Atkins for driving and picking up trash from the boys. Terry Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emory Russell of Flint Hill received a “Superior Rating* award for his essay entered in the Future Business Leaders of America contest, awarded at the Madison regional meeting at Madison College March 22.

The group of children and parents traveled to the Virginia Horse Center, in Lexington, Va., and adopted two wild mustangs, originally from the Western U.S. from the Bureau of Land Management. They also did some volunteer work and held a bake sale fundraiser. This special project will involve working together to tame and train the yearlings. These horses will likely mature to about 13 - 14 hands and will make great riding horses, after proper training. When the mustangs are ready, they will find them permanent adoptive homes. With their exceptional training base, headed by Erin Pearson, they will make great kid’s ponies, ^pr Bony CluJ?, frail riding or endurance! , ‘ > Pearson owns two former wild mustangs that are ridden by her children, Clayton and Heather, and the 4-H Group members.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation or maybe donate some hay or other items of use for this project or the 4-H Group, please call Erin Pearson at (540) 987-9507.

With regard to Shoemaker’s charge of disconnecting Piedmont’s access to the Internet, Gordon said, “I haven’t lockea anyone out of Piedmont Broadband’s assets, but as far as access, Piedmont Broadband does not have access to assets it does not own.” Some may remember when Gordon first arrived in the county in 2005. There was limited broadband capability - cable and DSL served only Washington and Sperryville - and people were unhappy with satellite service. It was expensive and not always reliable. The Town of Washington hired Gordon, who then lived in the town, to update the town’s Web site. Several county residents hired Gordon to provide them with high speed access to the Internet. People were happy with the service and many gave Gordon high recommendations. But then things began to go sour. Once happy and excited customers began to report that services they had paid for and expected were not fulfilled. In November of 2007, Cory Koral of Flint Hill sued Gordon in Rappahannock County General District Put Your Talents to Good Use.

He was not the only one. L.D. Savage and John Colvin Wyatt both sued Gordon arid eOffice Experts in March 2008 to try and recoup their money. “I don’t dispute that there are people who have paid for the service that haven’t gotten it,” said Gordon at the time. Gordon explained that he was having “business capitalization issues.” Enter - Richard Shoemaker, an entrepreneur living in Amissville, who in June 2008, helped Gordon ease out of some of his troubles by investing in his business and renaming it Piedmont Broadband. Shoemaker repaid those customers (nearly $20,000 he said) who had already made payments to Gordon but had not received service. Gordon remained with the company, but was said to have only an advisory role, according to sources. Nothing much was heard of Gordon until this week when his name came up regarding the stay away order and his dismissal from Piedmont. Charles Chrosniak, a technical consultant hired by Piedmont to perform a security audit said Wednesday, “We modified passwords on all the network equipment.” “We still don’t have access to the radio equipment, Tom still has those, but we are working with the manufacturers to reset the passwords,” he explained. Shoemaker expected to have had the system back up Deal of the Month! Mention this ad and we will do this $129 roof inspection for only $49.

Meeting From Page A1 an effort to try to resolve these issues, and the town has tried to accommodate concerns. “But there are still other issues,” that need to be addressed, he continued. Other attorneys who have been involved all along were reluctant to get into specifics of what action they may take should the town not accede to their requests. Saying the town needs a sewer, that the project is already underway, and other jurisdictions have similar ordinances - using these statements as the de facto justification for not budging on certain issues is beginning to wear thin with an attorney who asked not to be identified. The hot button issue with the Inn seems to be the special service district and an assessment that would be made against properties with regard to hook-up fees. With town property owners, the issues are the exceptions provided for in section five of the ordinance referring to “special use,” or exceptions made for some properties with regard to the hook-up fees. Not many property owners seem to like the deed of easement as written. Nothing has been decided yet as council member Jean Goodine pointed out. “Various sections of the ordinance are going to be reviewed again,” she said. However, she continued, “We don’t want something so rigid that we don’t allow for special circumstances...On the other hand, we need to spell out how appeals will be heard, do people know what the process is. '**'*': “Fairness is what people are worried about,” she concluded. In other sewer ■ news... The town also has submitted an application for an additional $367,500 to the Department of Environmental Quality under the Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund, Special Federal Stimulus Application. The money would be used to begin Phase II of the wastewater project immediately pending council approval should funds be awarded, said Laura Dodd, the town administrative assistant. In addition, the town will be applying for stimulus money from the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Drinking Water to replace old pipes and meters in the town, and to review engineering proposals for a new well. - Mayor Eugene Leggett and council member John Sullivan also will be meeting with the U.S. Department of Agriculture about additional matching funds for water system projects. k tws -7——...— »-■ ■'.'I '■ READ YOUR ' COMMUNITY.

WCDS winter athletic recap By Michael Kenney fecial to the Rappahannock News The Wakefield Country Day School’s varsity girls’ basketball team won the first ever DAC Division II championship with a 34-23 victory over Fredericksburg Academy at Highland School ip Warren ton. -The two schools ended the regular season with identical 5-1 conference records and each advanced to the title game with semi-final wins. While FA was disposing of Quantico, WCDS raced past RMA 35-22 to reach the championship. In the final, 8th grader Hailey Miller provided some much needed offense, scoring 13 points and along with fellow classmate Brooke Addison, (eight points and six rebounds) allowed the Owls to break from a precarious four- point halftime lead. Miller, along with senior guard Rachael Carrier each nailed a three-pointer in the opening minutes forcing the Falcons to abandon their zone defense and play manto-man. In the final period, two buckets by Isabelle Eastham completed a 9-0 run and staked the Owls to an insurmountable 28-14 lead with 5:00 remaining. Eastham, saddled with three fouls in the first half, returned to score five points, pull down seven rebounds and block four shots after intermission. WCDS finished the season with a 9-10 record. Both Elida Opitz and Eastham were named to the ALL-DAC team. Varsity boys’ basketball The varsity boys’ basketball team advanced to the DAC division II finals. The squad finished second to Quantico during the regular season and the pair would both reach the championship tilt In the semi-finals Andrew Smith poured in a game-high 33 points to lead the Owls to a 63-45 victory over Tandem Friends. The teams had split their two previous meetings with eadi winning at home. In the finals the Owls had just seven players and dropped a 50-37 verdict to Quantico to finish the campaign at 9-11. Smith was named as comost valuable player in the conference and freshman Brian Shafran was tabbed as an honorable-mention selection. Saheel Mehta was the lone senior on the team but will be sorely missed. Varsity dance The varsity dance squad performed at most of the middle school and varsity home basketball contests. The squad consisted of five young ladies that competed in the DAC dance competition at Fredericksburg Academy. Sophomore Cynthia Rodriguez was once again named to the second-team All-DAC squad. Next week; Recap continues on Middle School girls’ and boys’ basketball teams Michael Kenney is director of athletics at WCDS. .Tfartte neats $**s.

An Irish lunch and entertainment followed in the Washington fire hall attended by 140 guests. ; Photo courtesy Wendy Weinberg Naoko Takao Piano recital at the Theatre includes Beethoven and Chopin By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock New* Naoko Takao, a lovely Japanese-born pianist, returns to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia, for what has become a keenly anticipated annual recital on Saturday, March 28 at 8 p.m. The first half of the program includes “the humorous side of Beethoven” as evidenced in his Sonata in A Major, Op. 2, No. 2. This will be followed, in Takao’s words, by “the light-hearted melancholy of Rachmaninoff transcriptions.” The transcriptions are Liebeslied of Kreisler-Rachmaninoff and the Scherzo from A Midsummer Night’s Dream of MendelssohnRachmamnoff. After the intermission, there will be four works by Frederic Chopin: Barcarole, Op. 60; Mazurka, Op. 50, No. 3; Nocturne, Op. 27, No.2 and Polonaise-fantaisie, Op. 61. Takao writes that this is her “all time favorite Chopin selection [and includes] three works from his late compositional period.” Takao enjoys an active career as recitalist, orchestral soloist and chamber musician in the United States and abroad. Since coming to this country in 1984 she has received many awards and scholarships, including the gold medal in the 2000 San Antonio International Piano Competition. Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. Seating is reserved. For reservations, or to obtain a copy of the Theatre’s spring schedule, phone (540) 675-1253 or email TheatreVA@aol.ann. RAAC Community Theatre new «% #* Theatre season begins March 28 By Joyce Abell Special to the Rappahannock News RAAC’s new Community Theatre, located in the former Ki Theatre on Gay Street in Washington, will engage in a broad range of performing arts, including theater productions, music, poetry and dance. RAAC, an acronym for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community, welcomes new participants whether or not a person has had experience in acting, directing or building sets. Opening event RAAC’s theater season begins with a gala March 28 at 7 p.m. to celebrate the opening of the new theatre. The program focuses on Rappahannock County and includes well known storytellers Nol Putnam, Donald Chandler and Peter Hornbostel, and exciting singers and musicians Linda Orfila, Lorraine Duisit, Linda Heimst'ra and Paul Reisler. It also features a performance of Chekhov’s short play, “The Bear in Rappahannock” (with a mea culpa to the playwright who called it “The Bear” and set it in Russia), starring Stephani Mastri, Norm Getsinger and Howard Coon.
