131st Year ... No. 17 Washington, Va. (540) 675-3338 WWW.RAPPNEW5.COM _Ji_ THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2009 RCHS Scholastic Bowl team finishes second on TV show Competes in national championship in May By Christine Kkapf Special to the Rappahannock News Junior Steven Nelson found himself a little in awe of his first-ever appearance on television. “During our first match," he said, “I found myself watching the TV (monitor) at one point. And I wasn’t worried about the question, but that my hair is sort of sticking out a little bit. I was paying more attention to my hair than the question” Nelson and fellow Rappahannock County High School Scholastic Bowl teammates - senior captain A.J. Collins and junior Tyler Crews - did focus on the questions asked by “It's Academic” long-time host Mac McGarry and finished second Saturday in the Central Virginia Tournament in Washington, D.C. “It's Academic” is a televised high school academic show filmed at NBC affiliate WRC 4. This marked the first time in the history of Rappahannock County High School’s Scholastic Bowl team that it made an appearance on the Washington. D.C.-based show. “This has been an endless Cinderella season for us,” Rappahannock County head coach David Naser said. The Panthers won the Group A State Scholastic Bowl championship in late February, after also capturing their first Bull Run District and Region B titles. They will compete in the High School National Championship Tournament May 29-31 in Chicago.

Lesinski seeks solutions in run for delegate seat ‘We need to build a bridge to get evenone across' By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock resident .John Lesinski may strike one as an unlikely Democrat candidate for 15th District Delegate - he's a businessman with his own successful commercial real estate company, a former Marine colonel who served in Iraq, and a former director of the Greater Washington Board of Trade qnd the Economic Club of Washington. But these are different times. “We are in the economic equivalent of a 100-year flood," said Lesinski, 50, in an interview Monday at his home on Grand View Avenue just outside of Washington. As he describes the current economic situation, it’s like standing on one bank of a flooding river and needing to get to the other side, he said. “In effect,” said Lesinski, Rappahannock News P.O. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) “Delegate (Todd) Gilbert is saying ‘swim for it,' if you make it across, .good for you, if you sink, that’s just the way it is." “We need to build a bridge to get everyone across,” explained Lesinski, and that means supporting Gov. Tim Kaine’s budget which keeps teachers and public safety officers employed, and seeking ways of helping everyone safely through this economic crisis. Lesinski announced he would be running as delegate for the 15th District - which encompasses Rappahannock, Page, Shenandoah and part of Rockingham counties - at a Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meeting on April 6. He is running against incumbent Gilbert, a Republican, who is seeking a third term in office. Lesinski, even in casual clothes, still dresses like a Marine - everything neat and pressed, belt buckle in line - and he has that earnestness of a successful businessman who’s discovered that making money isn’t all there is in life. He wants to do something to help, but he hasn’t quite figured out what that is yet except that perhaps it might be found by running for office. See LESINSKI, Page A15 Taxpayers revolt! By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer There seem to be two Rappahannocks, easily demarcated along issue lines that separate the wealthy weekend gentry class (always happy to throw fundraiser parties for private schools and charities), and the workaday residents who often struggle to get by, pay taxes and send their children to public schools. This line was no more clearly brought into relief than at Tuesday evening's meeting of Concerned Taxpayers at the Rappahannock County Library. More than 50 people attended including members of the School Board and Bryant Lee, a member of the Board of Supervisors. Looking around at the faces of many present, one could see the lined and craggy faces of farmers and tradesmen, people who work with their hands. This was not the “landed aristocracy" of Rappahannock. These folks hunt deer, not foxes on horseback with expensive costumes. They drink beer, not martinis land a few may even have worked up courage bv knocking back a few before showing up to vent tluur frustrations.) The topic of the meeting was a proposed “performance contract" wdth Ameresco to upgrade See TAXPAYERS, Page A15 Returning chef eyes return to glory days By Bill Walsh Rappahannock News Staff Writer Todd Eisenhauer hit the ground running when he joined Napoleon's restaurant in January. Many another chef might not have been so quick out of the gate, given the building’s quirky arrangement of levels and maze-like connections among dining rooms. But this is an encore appearance for Eisenhauer, who was last here when the 21st century was fairly new. One of his paramount goals is to restore the Warrenton restaurant to the popularity it enjoyed back then. Eisenhauer left Napoleon's for a five-year stint at Griffin Tavern in Flint Hill, returning when recent Napoleon’s Chef Tommy Adrian left for another opportunity. "This was one of the places w’here I felt that the owners...had done an injustice by taking it completely to fine dining,” Eisenhauer said last week. "It was always set up to have the two different restaurants,” he said, and the returning chef and now part owner has been determined to take advantage of the building’s challenging construction to restore two — actually, make that three — separate dining experiences. “When my wife ILiz] and I came in, we decided that we had to make a pub again [on the groundfloor level I, so we changed it to Josephine’s Pub.

The Fodderstack 10-K race brings out winners By Jean Lillard Special to the Rappahannock News It was not only a picture-perfect weather day for the Fodderstack 10-K race, but also a very successful one. The crow ds came out to cheer the runners, walkers, and baby carriage pushers. Guess what - no dogs on the race course this year - thanks to all participants. There were 338 folks who registered for the race. Some 315 of them started the race and 305, who were timed, crossed the finish line. We also had four delightful ladies from Washington, D.C. who were just out for a great walk and finished without a time. As far as we know, everyone showed up at the new 9 o’clock starting time Saturday morning, no one fell on the partially graveled streets of Washington and no mistakes were made in our See RACE, Page A14 OVERALL WOMEN WINNERS: Susanna McNear, left, is second overall winner and Lilly Strange is first overall winner and also winner of the Eva Smith Memorial at the Fodderstack 10K race Saturday.

The session, sponsored by the Rappahannock Eldercare Coalition and Aging Together, will offer suggestions ranging from the homey comfort of a cup of chamomile tea for stomach ills to high-tech, free online resources with local options for long-term care, respite, rehabilitation and personal services. “Everyone is affected in some way by the financial crisis,” said Sharon Pyne, adult services social worker for Rappahannock County. “We’re looking at a lot of common-sense solutions for older people and everyone who cares about them.” Pyne said the Rappahannock population she serves struggles at times to afford food and heat, let alone vitamins, prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications. “We want people to know there are resources out there,” Pyne said. Susan Seidler, who will speak at the gathering, said people don’t have to be computer literate to take advantage of the “Senior Navigator,” an online resource compiling local and national solutions to the concerns of seniors. “We’re lucky to have two great sites in Rappahannock County where trained volunteers will do the searching,” Seidler said. The Rappahannock County Social Services Department in Washington and the Rappahannock County Library just north of town are sites welcoming seniors to use the “Senior Navigator,” accompanied by an expert guide. “Some situations are just so complicated that we offer to provide a number of resources,” Seidler said. “Usually with the help of a family member, well try to assess all the needs. “ The resulting search might include pages of*ideas for Solving multiple problems. Anyone who’s searched for informations; on the Internet knows Bow frustrating it is to come up with outdated information, with no contact information for real people or agencies. “We update constantly, and we try to do this on a local level,” Seidler said. “We provide good, current information with valid phone numbers and current names and addresses.” Senior Navigator users are also invited to “Ask an Expert,” where a personal situation is addressed by a professional. “We usually See HEALTHY, Page A6 your Hmttown Chut % for My our FerscmL ix Frofisaowl M.

Perhaps more noteworthy than the celebration this year was that last week the Environmental Protection Agency published a finding that greenhouse gas emissions are a threat to public health. It is a finding that is being widely, if not universally, hailed as a positive step in combating global warming. The health of our planet and, until the last six months or so, the health of world economies had been moving in opposite directions. Seemingly, the more we had to spend, the more we choose to expend it on what the latest issue of Time magazine calls “the premise that more is better,” so that we have ended up with “houses that could hold all of our stuff but were too big to heat; ...cars that could ferry a soccer team but were too big to park.” As a consequence of this economic comeuppance there is increasing, and welcome, emphasis on making our buildings more energy efficient and Earth friendly. Unhappily, even that remains bound by economics. Much is made of the fast that if you build your home to green standards, you can recover the added cost within, oh, 10 years or so. That model only works, however, if you pay the additional expense of the green improvements up front, with cash. Not many of us can do that. If you are prepared to build, say, a traditional, bank-financed $300,000 home, and you then decide to go green, the cost will escalate to about $330,000, according to shoot-from-the-hip estimates. Over the course of a 30-year note, even at today’s attractive rates, vour $30,000 green investment will about double. And green things wear out, too, just like their energy-guzzling counterparts. Most of your green items and green technologies will need to be replaced long before they are paid off, and the cycle starts anew. In its current stimulating mood, Washington could make low-, low-interest loans — dare we suggest nointerest loans? — available to potential and qualifying middle-class home builders. The loans would be repaid from the energy savings that green technology would provide, just as those savings provide incentive to the more well-heeled home builder who can pay for them up front. Computer modeling can determine the benefits of most of the residential green technologies. We could turn for help to the banks, who are no doubt dying to show their gratitude for all we have done for them. In the $300,000/$330,000 example, why not make banks — at least those whose very existence on Earth Day 2009 is thanks to our collective generosity — get their 10 percent on the $300,000 loan, then collect the additional $30,000, without interest or with interest that is laughably low, from the homeowner’s energy savings? Foundations, many of which have environmental bona fides, could step up to help. Same deal — repayable grants, the money coming from the energy savings and other environmental advantages of green technology. Easy? Of course not. Doable? We think so, provided we have the will. Most of all, we want to look at this more closely because it is fair. » If we don’t get everyone involved in a green revolution, it’s more likely going to be a green bust.

Gilbert for ‘championing’ Rappahannock’ I saw a comedy of errors in the Rappahannock News' April 9 editorial, “Political Theater.” On the one hand, the newspaper criticized Delegate Todd Gilbert for not attending Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors' meetings, and on the other hand, it criticized him for attending the first BOS meeting John Lesinski attended. The Rappahannock News did not print Del. Gilbert's press release regarding running for a third term, but (on the other hand), it did break a 13-month streak of not mentioning him when it wrote that Mr. Lesinski wa - running against him. The BOS was right to thank Del. Gilbert for “championing” Rappahannock in Richmond. He fought Dominion Power’s plans for transmission lines in Rappahannock and VDOTs plans to change its maintenance standards in rural communities like Rappahannock. He secured funding for historic Scrabble School, and it was his HB936 that allowed Madison and Rappahannock to share costs and maybe receive an additional $250,000 in state funds. The newspaper gave credit to Gov. Tim Kaine for signing the bill but didn’t mention its patron, Del. Gilbert (“Madison, Rappahannock Schools Agree to Share Costs,” 4/9/2009). You would give me credit for reading your paper and not take credit for writing it? Lastly, Del. Gilbert should be commended for his efforts to save our rural landscape with legislation like HB1516 that restored Interstate 81 tolling authority to the people of Virginia, as opposed to Mr. Lesinski, who was (is) planning to profit from its ruination. (See “An Interview With: John Lesinski,” 1/31/2006, and “How ‘Far Out’ Can DC Go?” 10/27/2006, at www.bisnow.com) If the paper must support Mr. Lesinski simply because he lives in Rappahannock, that’s fine, but bear in mind that Del. Gilbert has been representing us, and well I might add, longer than his opponent has lived here. Angela Deavers Castleton ‘Who protects the employees?’ I did not think it possible but our delegate, Todd Gilbert, managed to add insult to injury. First, he was one of only 10 members of the House of Delegates to vot< to turn down the first federal stimulus package. This package protected tne jobs of 7,000 Virginia citizens. The package also will create thousands of new jobs, and it will bring an estimated $620,000 to Rappahannock schools over the next two years. He now has voted to turn down the second federal stimulus bill of $125 million that would have extended unemployment benefits to Virginia's full and part-time workers. Mr. Gilbert said it would hurt business. The truth is that Virginia provides some of the lowest unemploy ment benefits in the country. Virginia’s employers pay an average of $98 a year per employee for unemployment insurance compared to an average of $258 per employee for the rest of the country. The unemployment benefit stimulus, if it had been passed, would have cost employers an average of less than $2 per employee per year. That works out to less than four cents per week per year. If a business has 50 employees, it would cost the employer an additional “whopping" $100 a year to cover all 50 employees. Mr. Gilbert argues that once the stimulus money runs out there is no way for Virginia to curtail the program. However, the state has received a letter from the federal government which stated that while they could not put a sunset clause in the legislation, the state legislature could eventually repeal the law and still receive the money. By not voting for the second stimulus bill, Mr. Gilbert has helped to remove $125 million of purchasing power from the Virginia economy. How does that help business? Last week’s editorial in the Rappahannock News raises the question of who protects the employees? Who helps the over 300,000 citizens of the commonwealth who have lost their jobs? Mho helps the over 18 percent of Page County residents who have lost their jobs? Certainly it is not Mr. Gilbert. Hank Gorfein Washington ‘Show Wendy that we care, that we love good music’ We in Rappahannock are incredibly blessed that through the hard work and unremitting dedication of Wendy Weinberg the Theatre is able to lure into Little Washington classical musicians of the highest caliber. What a pity that on March 28 there was an unfortunate scheduling glitch which resulted in the gala opening of the new RAAC Community Theatre on the same evening as a concert by the incredible Japanese pianist, Naoko Takao, in Wendy’s Theatre. Because we are a small community the result, much to Wendy’s distress, was that the world-renqwned pianist performed before a partially empty house. On Saturday, April 25 the Theatre is presenting another classical concert. This time a violin and harpsichord duo will play works by Bach. Wouldn't it be heartening to use this opportunity to show Wendy that we care, that we love good music and are grateful for the beauty she makes it possible for us to bring into our lives. Let’s all go. Maybe we could bring a friend or a student along too. Rabbi Carla Theodore Sperryviile Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO May 1,1969 Miss June Jordan decided she liked the professional aspects of pot> tery rather than teaching after « receiving her bachelor of fine arts and master of fine arts degrees from * the University of Georgia, so in 1966 she opened her own shop. At the shop, located in the Blue Ridge foothills at Washington, Va., she produces and sells her pottery. Ben Venue Garage located on Route 729 was partially destroyed by fire Saturday morning. Downing Hitt, the owner,was welding when the fire started. In addition to damage done to the building, two automobiles, a motorcycle and much equipment were destroyed. Fire companies from Washington, Flint Hill, Amissville, Castleton and Sperryville responded. 25 YEARS AGO April 19,1984 Washington could become a bigger tourist miter if work is completed on several projects for which local citizens have sought special use permits. At the April Town Council meeting, officials received applications from Peter Kramer and from D. Patrick Foster and Camille A. Harris. Kramer’s application is for permis, sian to operate a guest house for short-term occupancy on Gay Street extended. Foster and Harris want to operate a bed and breakfast on Main ' Street. Washington Mayor Newbill Miller and Councilmen Brad Fisher and Ikylor'Updike met last week with f Supervisors J. R. Latham, Nelson Lane and Hubert Gilkey to establish boundaries for the town of Washington that will be submitted to Virginia’s General Assembly for official enactment. 10 YEARS AGO April 21,1999 As the capstone to this year’s Trash Free Rappahannock campaign, Dickie Gallihugh’s “unofficial secondary Rappahannock landfill” on Route 231 was cleaned out and officially closed. More than 30 truckloads -estimated at 50 tons-of tires, old appliances and furniture, lumber, scrap metal and unidentifiable rubbish was removed by a dozen volunteers and loaders, dump trucks and crews provided by VDOT. Led by John McCarthy, Peter Luke, Hunt Harris and Barney O'Meara, the team cleaned trash out of the brush while the loaders removed the piles of rubbish from the yard and the old road bed that parallels Route 231.

‘Our civilization’s future is at stake’ In December, I criticized the final report of the Governor’s Commission on Climate Change for disappointing “timidity on this matter of grave urgency for our planet.” The governor and legislature have now had a chance to address climate disruption. Sadly, their response is even more feeble than the commission’s. They have approved bills that: • Establish a voluntary goal to reduce electricity use by 19 percent by 2025. • Provide limited added incentives for power from renewable sources. • Encourage solid-wasteto-energy facilities. • Help finance clean, renewable energy installations. • Allow leasing of underwater land for offshore wind turbines. The governor’s Web site boasts of legislation to promote green jobs, and a dona The Forum Bruce Smart tion by power distributors of 4,200 compact fluorescent light bulbs for state parks; announces a nonspecific climate agreement with the United Kingdom; declares April as Virginia Green Travel Month; and reports that a state agency won an award for its Green Building Incentive Program. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with any of these minor actions, except that collectively they constitute a micro-excuse for avoiding the difficult major steps needed to save our fragile planet, leaving Virginia behind almost every other state in this respect. What must be done is easily stated: Greatly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (C02), to stabilize their concentration in the atmosphere. Failing that, most scientists believe the global climate will be disrupted, causing coastal flooding, shifts in rainfall affecting agriculture, starvation, population migrations and civil disturbances such as those already evident in sub-Saharan Africa. The latest projections for sea-level rise will average 3 feet by 2100. Virginia’s coastline, entire ecosystems, and all species (including our own) become at risk. To reduce C02 emissions we must reduce burning coal, oil and natural gas. Coal emits the most C02 per unit of energy produced, so it becomes the prime target. The most effective way to reduce emissions is to put a price on them, encourag ing efficiency and shifts to more benign alternatives. Either a cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax can do that job. The commission endorsed a federal cap-andtrade program for electricity generation, but stopped short of mandating limits on emissions or a halt to new coal-fired power plants. Politicians are very reluctant to impose change on voters. Excluding the minority of citizens who believe — for whatever reasons — that no significant threat exists (none of the 40 commissioners took that position), the reasons for inaction are some mix of the following: • Change has immediate costs, but delayed benefits • Many Virginians do not understand complex climate science, and effects of climate change are not yet apparent. None welcome the effect energy changes will have on lifestyles and budgets. “Green” has become associated with liberal politics, and thus opposed by some conservatives as socialism. Coal mining and coalfired power companies are politically powerful in Richmond. Reduced use of coal will depress their business. Politicians fear that explaining and supporting an unsettling program may cost them the next election. What should responsible citizens do? First, understand the subject. The more you understand, the more concerned you will become. Write Governor Kaine recommending vigorous climate-friendly initiatives such as: mandatory (vs. voluntary) goals; no new coalfired power plants without viable carbon capture and sequestration; energy-efficient building standards: lower-emissions vehicles and reduced miles traveled; shifting freight from trucks to rail. The 2009 elections present a great opportunity, starting with the June primaries. Pin candidates down on their positions on climate, on a carbon tax, on higher prices for gasoline and electricity, and on the ethics of allowing a regulated company to contribute money to its government regulators. Then support those who will do the right thing. Don’t be fooled by greenwash. Virginia needs a governor and legislature with the knowledge and guts to ensure a safe climate outcome. Our civilization’s future is at stake. Bruce Smart, a resident of Upperville, was undersecretary of commerce for international trade in the Reagan administration. ‘A third party with a different political attitude is needed’ The economical hardship we are experiencing is not new. Every third president has had to deal with a financial crisis of some sort. We are now witnessing the biggest transfer of wealth in history - your wealth, to foreign business and government entities; wealth hard-earned, much of it by our forebears over many decades. Existing nationwide debt is something on the order of $68 trillion dollars, which doesn’t include the latest spending by the government. It is estimated, that at 4 percent interest, it would take 433 years to pay that debt down. Many doubt that it is possible to pay down a debt of this magnitude based on current GDP figures. By design, middle class worker wages are stagnant or decreasing, largely resulting from inflation and taxation. A U.S. dollar is now worth $.10 measured in 1950 dollars. We are told our children will be the first generation in the history of the nation to break the cycle of an ever-improving quality of life with all that that entails. That is a sad legacy. In the race to globalization and free trade the American people have been under-represented and abused bv government. Many voted for change but change is not sufficient. Reform of government is sorely needed. This government, oft referred to as the “best government money can buy,” will not, cannot reform itself. A third party with a different political attitude is needed. Not just another third party, but one that can put accountability into the political equation. Ask around as to what people perceive as the major problem with government and you are likely to hear the “lack of accountability.” How might your politicians be held accountable for their actions? A third party with citizens’ oversight for elected and appointed officials is one possibility. Party members would have authority and responsibility, through membership, to cast their vote, over the Internet, for or against an elected or appointed official being of the same party. If the perceived wrongdoer receives less than a 66 percent favorable vote by members then that person is rejected from the party with no further party support for any future political endeavor. Accountability is through citizens’ oversight of elected and appointed officials. If people are still reading at this point they might also be interested in a flat (17 percent ) income tax policy versus the current regressive tax code that favors the wealthy. We know government legislators work to retain their constituents’ loyalty through manipulation of the tax code, making winners and losers in the process. The smart ones To those businesses that felt left out or offended: My back of the envelope listing of Rappahannock “local businesses that have stood the test of time" (Rappahannock News, April 16 edition) was intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive and not a ranking. The fact that the Sperryville Comer Store was not mentioned, or the Coop, The Rappahannock News, Country Cafe, Lombardy, Grey Ghost, FT Valley Store, The Trading Post and many others, was simply the result of my imperfect attempt to make a point: There are different ways to succeed but the vast majority of county businesses that have been around for 10 or more years do not depend on tourists as their life blood. They are the smart ones. John W.

While we wish that we could have come home as the Central Virginia champion, we were excited to win our first match and earn $500 toward our trip to the High School National Championship Tournament in late May in Chicago. Many of these same individuals assisted with the RCHS Rapp-Off on ‘Special thanks to the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’ All of us at Rejmold’s Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville wish to extend a special thanks to the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department for sharing their wonderful property with us for our annual Car and Truck Show held there on Saturday, April 18.

With a flat tax we can get the tax form down to one page, with instructions on the back. Each taxpayer simply pays tax based on income. But, you can’t expect a flat tax policy through this government. That would mean giving up much of the power to make winners and losers through taxation. A third party with a dif ferent political attitude can achieve reform of government, protect our sovereignty, our Constitution and our democratic principles of life.

Certified Arborist It’s that time of year again... j Like many insect pests, gypsy moth populations fluctuate greatly, and ! our area is seeing several isolated, j heavy infestations. Gypsy moths feed i on a wide variety of tree and shrub ! species. When infestations are heavy, entire trees may be stripped in just a j few days. Healthy deciduous trees can usually tolerate a single defoliation, j however, the loss of foliage will reduce i growth and vigor significantly. Two to three consecutive years of heavy defoliation will result in death of most! hardwoods, especially oaks. The caterpillars body is brown to’ dark grey and hairy. The dorsal surface is marked with 5 pairs of blue and 6 pairs of red raised spots. Egg masses are approximately one inch long and ■ covered with yellowish hairs from the j female's abdomen. These masses can j be used to identify an infestation before they hatch. Gypsy moth is now a permanent resident of the Northeast and will never 1 be completely eliminated. Several options are available to help minimize the spread of this pest and to help protect trees against ■ serious; l defoliation.

Determinate tomatoes, for example, are considered better for canning because the crop comes in all at once. But if you don’t have blocks of time to can a whole harvest, do a few jars when you’re able using indeterminate varieties of tomatoes which spread their yield over the entire season. Planning to grow green beans? As you’re deciding which variety of seed to buy, check the yield. Large yields, all at once may seem easier to can or freeze but if you’re short on time, beans that produce all season will give you smaller yields so you’re able to preserve them one batch at a time. Herbs are easy to grow and you can preserve them by drying, freezing or making flavored oils. Some garden produce doesn’t need anything other than a cool place to keep them garden fresh. Winter squash, apples, potatoes and onions can Ije stored in a traditional root cellar but any cool room will work just as well. Even a barrel of sand in the garage or a deep, lined hole in the ground can become a root cellar. Some vegetables, like carrots, can be left right in the ground all winter long covered snuggly with mulch. Whenever you need carrots, it’s just a matter of a trip to the garden. When planning your garden this, plan how you’ll preserve your abundance. Early Spring Garden Kale This is a very free form recipe. Kale, just like spinach, wilts quickly during cooking so a pot full is actually only a few portions. And just like spinach, the damp kale needs very little additional water for cooking. There are no exact amounts. A little more or less of any ingredient is OK. Grocery store kale may require a little longer cooking because it’s been sitting around a while but just be sure you don’t over cook it.

Pour in oil to :over. Cap jar. Refrigerate several days before using to let the flavors develop. Lasts indefinitely in the refrigerator. Do not store at room temperature. Karla’s tips: Olive oil becomes solid in the refrigerator. Make sure the jar you use has an opening wide enough so you can scoop out the oil with a spoon. Be sure to use a glass container. Plastic is porous if you use it instead of glass (which is not porous) everything in your refrigerator will taste of rosemary. If you have an extra “storage” refrigerator in the basement or garage (as many people do), you can make up enough rosemary oil to last you through the winter. Koasted tsutternut Squash and Cranberries Do you know butternut squash? Technically it’s a winter squash but we begin harvesting it from our Virginia gardens in late July. That’s pretty early for a winter squash Cooked, it tastes a lot like sweet potatoes but is much lower in carbohydrates. Walthum butternut squash is an easy variety to grow. The plants are prolific and give a hefty yield. My primary reason for growing butternut squash is that it keeps without preserving. Simply harvest the squash and put it in a cool place. Don’t bother to wash it until you’re ready to use it. I keep mine in a basket or card board box in my chilly mud room. Keep an eye out for blemishes which can start to rot. Use those squash up first. From harvest to spring, I have squash whenever I want it. 1 butternut squash (any f size) Fresh cranberries (washed, drained and stems removed) Vegetable oil Dash soy sauce Position oven rack so squash will roast in center. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a shallow baking pan with cooking spray. (Pan size is not important but an 11 X 15 X 1 inch jelly roll pan works well.) Peel squash. Cut in half crosswise. Scoop out the seeds and discard (or save for planting.) Wash well. Drain. Cut into random 3/8 inch cubes. Put into a bowl. Add cranberries to taste (about 1/4 cup for every 2 cups of squash cubes) and a dash of soy sauce. Toss with a little vegetable oil (not olive) - using about 1 tablespoon for every 2 cups of squash cubes. Spread out mixture in a single layer on prepared pan. Roast in preheated oven 5 minutes. Stir. (A pan cake turner works well.) Continue cooking until tender - about 5 minutes more. Do not over cook.

Quiz Bowl From Page A1 Finishing second in Saturday’s “It’s Academic” competition garnered the Panthers a much needed $500 from Giant Food toward that Chicago appearance. “It was $500 more than we had on Friday, and I was happy to take second,” Naser said. “I’m hoping that they will ask us back in the future.” The team still needs about $800 in donations to finance the trip, so they will host an Academic Challenge May 5 from 7-9 p.m. Naser said that the Panthers will play 20-question rounds against all-star teams from the community. The registration fee for an all-star team is $25. “I have been overwhelmed by the support this community has shown us so far,” Naser said. Saturday’s trip to Washington, D.C. is the perfect illustration of such support. Rappahannock County’s students had been on a week-long spring break. Still, Naser had most of his Scholastic Bowl team, along with members of David DeBoer’s Marching Band, teachers and other parents make the trip to the NBC studio. The Panthers did not disappoint their fans, rolling over Stuarts Draft and Robert E. Lee in the first round. They held more than a 100-lead going to the final seven questions against Charlottesville and Spotswood. But Charlottesville, which finished third in the Group AA state tournament, rang off a string of r SHOWING SUPPORT: The Rappahannock County High School Scholastic Bowl team, band members, faculty members and parents gather in front of NBC affiliate WRC-4 TV in Washington, D. C. before Saturday’s ‘It’s Academic’ taping. seven consecutive correct answers to defeat the Panthers, 540-505. “We knew the answers, but Charlottesville just beat us to the buzzer,” Collins said. The format for “It’s Academic” is very different than what Rappahannock County plays in Virginia High School League competitions. There are five rounds. One round is a particular theme such as books starting with the letter B. There is a visual round, with players looking at various pictures or drawings. There are also toss up and directed team rounds. “There are shorter questions than in a regular quiz bowl match,” Collins added. “There’s nowhere the difficulty that there is in a regular match.” Naser pointed out that “It’s Academic” is more for entertainment. “These are questions that people know the answer to,” he said. “The show is more about school spirit. Just watch the show, and-you will see.” Rappahannock County’s first appearance will be televised June 13 on Charlottesville station WVIR 29. Chef From Page A1 kept the umbrella of Napoleon’s...but we wanted to change the concept to let people know we were doing something different.” When he and Liz paid a visit late last year, Eisenhauer came to the ground-floor restaurant “in a T-shirt and jeans,” he said, “and I felt uncomfortable. It was all white linens, all preset tables. I sat down and asked for a draft. They didn’t have draft.” Josephine’s Pub now has a new $8,000 system to provide kegged beer, and it is decidedly more casual, Eisenhauer said. “It has a menu that runs all day long, a little bit of everything. And we made the food service faster, so people can come in, have lunch and get back to work.” Fine dining is still available, else it wouldn’t be Napoleons and there would be no return to the glory days of 67 Waterloo St. The white tablecloths are upstairs, in a section call The French Quarter. Over last weekend, Eisenhauer opened Waterloo Terrace, the upstairs patio bar which faces Diagonal Street. “It has a New Orleans theme,” Eisenhauer said, “with its own late-night menu,” based on New Orleans’ most famotis sandwich, the muffaletta, with an olive salad that can accompany almost every item on the menu. Liz Eisenhauer has created an original Hurricane recipe — another New Orleans’ bar staple, featuring gin, light rum and vodka with just a smidgen of fruit juices — and he makes a sangria that is “outstanding” the chef said. The outdoor bar will feature music on Friday evenings, with Steve Hagedom’s first set scheduled to start at 5 p.m. While he is revamping the various menus to accentuate his Southern, Creole and Cajun roots, Eisenhauer said he shares much of departed Gorden Ramsey-trained Chef Tommy Adrian’s philosophy about making everything in house, and doing so using the freshest ingredients possible. He maintains an ongoing relationship with a produce farmer in Rappahannock County, has opened discussions with a Fauquier pork producer, and is eager to talk with other local farmers, he said. Napoleon’s is open Mondays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., moving to 10 p.m. as the weather warms. Waterloo Terrace is open the same hours, with plans to extend even later as summer approaches. Even with three restaurant experiences under his direction, he and his wife may have more in store for Warrenton in the near future, Eisenhauer said.

Casanova owner ponders the power of having a Triple Crown favorite By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Rappahannock News As the clock ticks down to post time for the May 2 Kentucky Derby, we caught up with Edward P. “Ned” Evans, whose Quality Road is headed toward the Triple Crown kickoff as one of the early favorites. His runaway victory in the two-turn Florida Derby gives the Virginia-bred an edge. Evans, whose 3,000-acre Spring Hill Farm is located in sleepy Casanova, has long been a force in the Thoroughbred breeding industry. The farm foals more than 50 mares each year, keeping some and selling some. So far, it appears he kept the right one from his 2006 crop. - Q: Mr. Evans, you continue to foal all of your mares at the farm here in Casanova. There must be pressure for you to foal them in Kentucky [where most of the stallions you send mares to are located] or New York, both more prominent racing states. What keeps your foals in Virginia? A: We foal all of our mares at the farm in Casanova because we can do a better job here than in Kentucky, particularly because we have a disease-free environment and are able to devote our full attention to them. Q: Tell me what you remember about the Pleasant Colony years. Were you “on the Derby trail” with your father? How do you compare Quality Road's Derby quest to Pleasant Colony’s? A: Regarding Pleasant Colony, who won the Derby in 1981,1 can tell you that I was 28 years younger-at that time. Quality Road is similar in size to Pleasant Colony at approximately 17 hands. Probably what differentiates him the most from Pleasant Colony is his speed and ability to quicken at any time during a race. Q: Pleasant Colony ended Quality Road is surrounded by the best By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Rappahannock News The horse: Virginia-bred Quality Road looks to give sire Elusive Quality his second Kentucky Derby winner in six years, hoping to duplicate Smarty Jones’ 2004 romp. A grandson of sire of sires Mr. Prospector, Elusive Quality was a brilliant miler who set tw o track records for trainer Bill Mott — seven furlongs in 1:20 at Florida’s Gulfstream Park, and at a mile on the turf when winning the 1998 Poker Handicap at Belmont Park, in 1:31 3/5, a record that still stands. Other Elusive Quality standouts include Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Raven’s Pass and UAE Oaks winner Devotee. Elusive Quality stands at Darley Stud in Kentucky. Quality Road is the fourth foal out of 14-year-old mare Kobla. By standout broodmare sire Strawberry Road, Kobla is a full sister to 1997 champion Ajina. Ajina was known as a router, with five of seven wans at 1 1/8 or 1 Vi? miles. Quality Road is inbred to the two most influential strains in American racing, 4x4 to Raise a Native and 4x5 to Northern Dancer. Owner-breeder Longtime Casanova resident Edward P. “Ned” Evans graduated from Yale University with a degree in economics and earned his MBA from the Harvard Business School. Evans’ 3,000-acre Spring Hill Farm in Casanova, where Quality Road was foaled, has made its mark in the Thoroughbred breeding industry, earning Virginia’s Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders award in 2004. Evans is a son of the late Thomas Mellon Evans, who bred champion and 1981 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Pleasant Colony. Also a Virginia-bred, at the elder Evans’ Buckland Farm in Gainesville, Pleasant Colony missed winning the Triple Crown when he finished third in the Belmont. Ned Evans was honored with the Ogden Phipps Award as top breeder by the New York Turf Writers Association in 2002. Evans also bred 2005 Horse of the Year Saint Liam as well as Irish champion Minstrella. As an owner, Evans campaigned standouts Summer Colony, Gold Mover, Gygistar and Prenup. He captured the leading owner title at Aqueduct in 2001, 2002 and 2004, as well as taking home that same title at Saratoga and Belmont in 2000. Evans works in New York but spends a lot of time at Spring Hill. Trainer: Quality Road has had top handling since the start at the track. Conditioner James “Jimmy" Jerkens has a pedigree that might exceed the colt's: He is a son of legendary horseman H. Allen Jerkens. Allen Jerkens is widely known as “the Giant Killer,” so-called since he’s made a habit of beating the sport’s best horses, at the top of their games. His Beau Purple beat champion Kelso, his Handsome Boy beat champ Buckpasser, and his Onion beat champion Secretariat, rightly earning him the nickname. Allen Jerkens was the youngest inductee, at age 45, into racing’s Hall of Fame in 1975. Following a 20-year stint as assistant to his father in New York, the junior Jerkens went out on his own in 1987. While he has never saddled a Derby starter, he’s had some of the circuit’s top horses at his Belmont Park stable. In 2004, he won the Breeders Cup Mile with Artie Schiller, who finished his career with more than $2 million in earnings. Jerkens saddled Breeders Cup dirt mile winner Corinthian three years later. Jockey: John Velazquez was bom Nov. 24, 1971 in Puerto Rico. Small and wiry', Velazquez headed straight to the island nation's wellregarded jockey school as a teen, first riding on the circuit in Puerto Rico. Hall of Fame jockey and now jockey’s agent Angel Cordero Jr. lured Velazquez to New York in 1990. Subsequently, Velazquez has won or shared 20 meet titles in New York and was ranked as the state’s top jockey for four consecutive years, 2001-2004. In 2001, he became the first jockey in Saratoga history to ride six winners on a single card. A two-time Eclipse champion, Velazquez won the Eddie Arcaro Award three times, the Bill Shoemaker Award for the top performance by a jockey in the 2004 Breeders’ Cup, and the New York Turf Writers Association’s Fourstardave Award. Velazquez was elected chairman of the board of directors of the Jockeys’ Guild in July 2006. In September 2008, he won his 4,000th race. Velazquez has ridden in 10 Derbies, with his best finish second on Invisible Ink in 2001. TIME'S RUNNING OUT FOR...

Look ahead into a crystal ball: Do you think Quality Road has the pedigree to make such a big mark on bloodstock? A: Regarding Quality Road as a stallion, he has probably a better pedigree [more distinguished] than Pleasant Colony, and I would think has every chance to be a first-rate stallion. Q: Quality Road has shown great promise since his first start. When did you first see that athleticism? When did your trainer tell you he might be a Derby horse? A: Quality Road showed great promise in his first start running an astounding 101 Beyer [a numerical rating]. If you would like the first evidence of his athletic ability, [we have] a picture of him in flight at two days old. Q: What is the best part about the Derby trail so far? Is it fun to be part of the media circus, or is it more of a pressure-cooker? A: The best part of the Derby trail so far is staying on it. We now think Quality Road’s foot [quarter crack] will not be a problem. I can say that there is a quite a bit of pressure and worry about a pre-Derby favorite, but after all, in my generation, pressure was considered a plus. Note: Quality Road is due to ship to Louisville’s Churchill Downs from trainer Jimmy Jerkens’ home base in New York on Tuesday, April 28.

Taxpayers From Page'A 1 school and county buildings with more energy efficient improvements: a sophisticated control system, new thermal windows, new heating/cooling units. The perception was that county officials - administrator John McCarthy and the Board of Supervisors — were about to approve a $2.5 million contract with Ameresco without any public comment at all, that the taxpayers were about to be saddled with new debt, and as a consequence taxes were going to go up. The organizers of the meeting - Tom Junk and Roger Cordani - perhaps got more than they bargained for...much more. Nevermind that there was no pending vote on a contract. There was no contract written yet. Nevermind that three layers of accountability separated the beneficiary of this proposed contract — the county — from liability. Nevermind that the Code of Virginia specifically states that performance contracts do not represent a debt nor would they place any claim on the “full faith and credit” of the contracting entity - in this case the county. What began calmly with Junk saying, “everybody’s your neighbor here, please try not to get personal,” rapidly degenerated into accusation and counter accusation. The reaction to the Kramer Building was a warm up compared to Tuesday night - a situation in which a contract had already been negotiated and \^as pending approval. People were angry Tuesday night and fed up. But over what, exactly? McCarthy, sensing growing resistance, on Monday pulled the Ameresco contract from the agenda for tomorrow’s budget hearing at the high school (7:30 p,m. in the auditorium) citing that there wasn’t enough time to prepare documents in time for a Virginia Resource Authority deadline - the financing agency that would have underwritten the contract. Some had already claimed a victory on Rappnet (the email list serve that serves as a county public forum.) But that didn’t stop the flood of sentiment. Junk and Cordani remained calm and made very good points - they had obviously done some research — but they very nearly lost control of the meeting. Randy Smoot pressed School Board Chairman Wes Mills over and over to answer what percentage of local contractors would be included in the contract but he left little space for Mills to answer. “Are you one of these people who want to hire someone out of the county?” asked a clearly incensed Smoot. Cordani gave a good explanation about how he believed the baseline energy consumption - which would be used to measure energy savings in the contract - was inflated, that there were cost saving measures that could be implemented right now, and that these should be done first, resetting controls, monitoring thermostats. That led to a chorus of support, and one remark from someone at the meeting that sort of summed up the country wisdom behind the opposition: “You get a flat tire, do you buy a new car?” What had begun with the performance contract then mutated into what was seen as costly, but ineffective, administration of the schools. “This stuff has been going on for years,” said a man named Sam. “Where’s the maintenance factor? Who’s following up with what we have?” Getting by with less was generally seen as a primary value in these economic times, and people were wondering why the schools couldn’t do the same. Both Hank Gorfein and Mills tried to explain the reasoning behind redoing the entire control systems and doing the improvements all at once, but to little effect. Junk summed the audience sentiments in one word: Trust. “This is a trust thing,” he said, and for many of the people in the audience, it’s just not there when it comes to the Board of Supervisors and the School Board. Junk encouraged those in attendance to come to the public hearing tomorrow night on the county and school budgets at the high school to show the Board of Supervisors exactly how they feel. Lesinski From Page A1 “The House of Delegates is broken,” said Lesinski citing a main reason for running. “Nothing constructive is getting done and there needs to be a change. “My opponent is a part of what’s not working in Richmond,” he said. Lesinski said Gilbert’s focus has been on legislation that does not have immediate impact on people’s lives. He said his focus would be on jobs and the economy. “We re living that day to day,” he said. Lesinski said that Delegate Gilbert did not support the governor’s budget which included stimulus money, that his focus has been on issues such as the proposed “Triggerman Law” that not only have no immediate effect on the economy, but may actually end up casting the state more. “My focus is on those issues which will affect people today,” said Lesinski, “and my legislation would reflect that.” “When you have unemployment at 18 percent in Page County, that’s where the focus needs to be,” said Lesinski. Part of that stance is supporting Gov. Kaine on issues like extending unemployment benefits. The opposition says that this would add expenses to business owners with increased unemployment insurance premiums. But, Lesinski maintains, “1 can’t imagine that the individual business owners couldn’t afford that,” which would amount to an additional $4.50 per worker per year according to Lesinski. He also insists that nothing is permanent with regard to spending, stating that the legislation can change once the economy recovers. When asked a series of issue-specific questions, Lesinski replied more than once he was not ready to respond to specific issues other than Gov. Kaine’s budget which he supports. Lesinski said he plans to roll out a platform soon. Asked also about such “wedge” issues that drive a lot of support for his opponent - gun rights, pro-life, lower taxes, opposition to gay marriage - Lesinski responded, “I firmly believe t^it'-people arfe' willilig to look at other issues, that people are going to recognize that there are more important issues now.” Lesinski is a student of history. His father was a high school history and government teacher in California were Lesinski grew up. He loves to read history books. You get the sense that much of what drives him is that we are living in a period of great historical change and he wants to be a part of it somehow. His constant refrain is that there is a “lack of care and compassion” in government, and he wants to bring it back. Lesinski and his wife Heidi, 43, moved to Rappahannock in 2007 from Fairfax. This is his first run for political office. Heidi, he said, was not easy to win over to the idea of his running for elected office. “He had to promise me he would work for the people of this district, that it would not be just his own ideas,” she said. Lesinski said the support of his family is crucial to his success. His wife has gone from being skeptical to being his biggest advocate, and this summer his son, Daniel, 23, and his daughter, Emily, 20 will be joining him on the campaign trail. Brides to Be...

‘Animals are coming to JRAAC I neatre m May By Joyce Abell Special to the Rappahannock News Ducks and bears abound- not real animals, but two one-act plays with animals in the titles, both of which will be performed at the RAAC Community Theatre on Gay Street in the town of Washington. “The Duck Variations’' by David Mamet will be presented on May 8 and 9 at 8 p.m., and “The Bear” by Anton Chekhov on May 8 at 8 p.m. In “The Duck Variations,” one of Mamet’s early plays, two old geezers— George and Emil—spend their time in the park talking and watching ducks. “George and Emil’s conversations about the ducks reveal a lot about their own feelings about life,” said Patty Hardee, director of the play. “These men reflect the range of human nature and experience through their contentious, touching, insightful, and often hilarious relationship.” “The Duck Variations” features area actors Ray Holland and Mike Mahoney. Ray appeared in last season’s “No Ordinary Person” and was one of the wise men in the holiday show “The King’s Play.” Mike played King Herod in “The King’s Mumo t m oatmotmn touch Turn to the Experts" ASK ABOUT OU8: LOWKTPBK^ >SAnSfACT)ONGUAM^ES» 800.766.6216»Waronton,\A SAVE EVEN MORE MONEY WHEN YOU REPLACE YOUR HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM!!!

Classifieds/B7-B8 Countryside Section B April 23, 2009 www.rappnews.com A Sigh of Silence We welcome people and we give them their space’ Father Robert Barnes, Abbot, Holy Cross Abbey By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer Arriving late, at dusk, to Holy Cross Abbey’s guest house in Berryville, Va., for a retreat last Wednesday was like stepping out of a busy airport terminal and through a doorway into easy solitude, a cool spring to a parched traveler. A sigh of silence. Relief from a harried day and months of worry over the economy. The lights were subdued, a votive candle burned on the hearth, and in the kitchen I found the best lemon squares since mom’s. There was a list of guests including my name and room assignment. No concierge, no key, although I was greeted outside the door by an inquisitive tabby cat. Holy Cross Abbey rests among lolling fields that saunter down to the Shenandoah River about five miles east of the bustling village of Berryville. There in the fields, the Cistercian (also know as Trappist) monks keep what they prefer to call a “guest house” (not a retreat) for individuals wishing to find a place of silence to reflect. A sense of peace reigns over the entire 1,200-acre property. At night, the peepers were in full chorus rising up from the river bottoms. In the morning, there was nothing but the songs of Pnotos courtesy o' Holy Cross AoDey MANOR HOUSE: The main house of the former Cool Spring Plantation that now serves as the Abbey's reception hall and museum. The stone manor was built in 1784. uuus, annosi. occasionally the outside world would creep in - a distant train, a lawnmower. cramped airplanes flying over on their way to Dulles International Airport. The guest house itself is modern, and well laid out - the rooms reasonably apportioned. Not spartan, not extravagant. There are no telephones, television or radios. < “About half the people who come here aren’t Catholic," said Father Mark Delery - the former Abbot See RETREAT, Page B3 GUEST HOUSE: Located a quarter mile from the Abbey in the midst of open fields, the modern guest house serves as a retreat for individuals wishing to find some space and silence to recover from the stresses of modern living.

My Last Sunset By Will Hopkins When I'm out in Rappahannock and my working day is done I head out to the back porch to catch the setting sun It's a time for taking stock, a time for making plans For asking if I’m being true to who I really am Fifty years may pass before they carve my name in stone Or it could be tomorrow when I make my journey home None of us can know when we ll take our final breath So we’ve gotta make the most of every moment we have left And as a red sun fades and paints the western sky I wonder how I’ll feel when it's finally my time Will I have a sens*1 of peace or be haunted bv regret When I face my last sunset When I face my last sunset Then* are mountains to be climbed Dreams 1 haven't chased late's the sweetest wine and I've only had a taste But you only go round once, and the years fly by so fast Bv the time you're getting started, and it's over just like that And as a red sun fades and paints the western sky 1 wonder how I'll feel when it's finally mv time W ill I have a sense of peace or be haunted by regret When I face my last sunset When I face my last sunset As a red sun fades behind that'old Blue Ridge I know that I am blessed to be living where I live Oh it's here in Rappahannock you can lay me down to rest When 1 face my last sunset When I face my last sunset Pr’oto by E Raynona Boc Memorial service Songwriter and singer Will Hopkins, accompanied by Paul Reisier on guitar sings h s 3wn composition, "Sunset," during the celebration of Rchara Lykes' life Saturday at Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill.

Retreat From Page Bl who comes down to the guest house to speak with those who wish to talk. Not confession. Just someone to listen. There is a tiny room with comfortable chairs next to the small library where two people can speak without others overhearing. Father Mark has written several short books including “The Parable of the Cherry Blossom” — a very Zen-like poem about living and dying. Father Mark is 90 years old with a happy smile. Asked if he had any general advice to give he said, “Do what you can to get closer to God.” The Abbey sits about a quarter of a mile up a gentle rise surrounded by trees in an old plantation house not far from a spring from which the property gets its name — Cool Spring Plantation. During the Civil War, a battle was fought covering the entire plantation. One of the members, Brother James Sommers, collected not only Civil War relics, but many hundreds of native artifacts, arrowheads and other implements used by the natives that lived here long before the English. There is a small museum in an upstairs room of the main house where these are on display. The main house was built in 1784 by the Wormeley family. Ralph Wormeley did not agree with the rebellion against Britain, and so he “withdrew from the colony back to England”, according to a short Abbey history. The Abbot, Father Robert Barnes, greeted me in what was once the main living room of the old stone house. He is pleasant and comfortable to be around, looking a fit 50 or so. I was astonished to learn that he was 67. It s the tarming me, he said with a grin. “If you want to pray, you have to eat, so we work,” he explained. Work being a large farm, and a bakery operation that makes fruitcakes. The monastery also makes creamed honey (in different flavors), runs a small gift shop and, of course, the guest house. I asked Father Robert if the guest house were a part of their ministry. “No,” he explained, “we don't have an apostolate.” “Our lives as monks witness to others our faith as Christians.” His, and other orders, 'InspiringTfwiLjfltA by Randy Minter FUNERAL FLOWERS There is a long and cherished association between flowers, trees, and funerals that is steeped in symbolism across the cultural and religious spectrum. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the sacred flower known as amaranth imparted immortality. The A/tecs called their otherworldly paradise Xochitlican, the "place of flowers" Among many Buddhists, it is believed that a lotus flower transports the soul of the departed And Christians equate willows, cedars, and evergreens with death and everlasting life, which accounts for the prevalence of these plantings in American cemeteries. Those sentiments make it quite clear that those who send flowers to the grief-stricken are engaging in an age-old tradition that has proven itself able to bring comfort.

"Death ends a life, not a relationship " Robert Benchley Visitors to the Abbey have been steady, and the retreat is so popular with some that they have many returning guests. Father Robert said they have about 1,000 visitors a year. There is a limit of two visits per year, per individual, and there is no set fee, but there are suggested offerings which you can put in an envelope and place in a box when you leave. RETREAT CHAPEL: The chapel in the guest house offers a place of quiet contemplation and prayer. Guests are encouraged to practice silence while visiting the monastery. have kept guest houses for hundreds of years. He jokingly called the guest house the “equivalent of a Holiday Inn in the Middle Ages.” “We welcome people and we give them their space ” he said. The guest house, he said, is for the individual. It gives a person a taste of a life of living in community, in an atmosphere of silence. “Not absolute,” said Father Robert, “but a practical silence, a spiritual silence.” Visitors to the Abbey have been steady, and the retreat is so popular with some that they have many returning guests.

There is a limit of two visits per year, per individual, arnt there is no set fee, but there are suggested offerings which you can put in an envelope and place in a box when you leave. Father Robert came to the Abbey from Baltimore as a young novice in 1961 and has been there ever since — 47 years. He was elected Abbot in 1998 but there is a hint that it has worn on him. “I get no sympathy,” he chuckles. “It's hard being Abbot,” he said as he is the one responsible for the business affairs of the Abbey and it takes him away, into the outside world, from his life as a monk. The Abbey is also shrinking. Of the 22 members, 10 are over the age of 80. The youngest is 51. “Young people today are addicted to what society offers them, and they don’t want to give that up,” he said. “ “The idea of staying in one place, cutting down on communication and replacing it with silence,” just doesn’t appeal to many peo 17.9 AC ESTATE PROPERTY IN RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY VA PARK LIKE SETTING ADJOINING THE COVINGTON RIVER.

They aren’t getting any new vocations, said Father Robert. In a few years, the Abbey could be exhausted. “We expect that God will provide," said Father Robert. “There is ample evidence how this place can touch people’s lives ” Thirty-six hours later, after an overnight stay and a full day of silence and mediation, I emerged back into the world in a peaceful daze.

State health department confirms measles case The Virginia Department of Health has announced Tuesday that a Prince William County resident has measles, the first confirmed case in the Commonwealth this year. The announcement comes as Virginia health officials assist in investigating several cases of measles in the metropolitan Washington region. However, there is no known link between this case of measles in an adult and the other cases in the metro D.C. area. The source of the measles virus in the Virginia resident has not yet been identified. Measles is a highly contagious illness and health officials are taking precautions to prevent its spread. Initial symptoms of measles include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, which can last about a week.

Measles From Page B4 contact with secreting from the nose, mouth, and throat of an infected individual. The virus can live in the air for several hours after a person coughs or sneezes. While most people with measles will recover, 20 percent of cases experience one or more complications, especially among children under five years of age and adults over 20 years. People who think they may have measles or may have been exposed to someone with measles should first call their local emer gency room or doctor’s office before seeking care. That will allow health care workers to prepare the proper infection control measures before a patient’s arrival. People who think they have measles should also limit their exposure to others and stay home. Frequent handwashing and covering one’s cough will help limit the spread of disease. Measles vaccine, which has been commonly used for more than 50 years, can safely and effectively prevent this disease. This case indicates why it’s important for people to be protected against measles. People should have their health care providers review their immunization records and get vaccinated against the measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases as appropriate. Measles vaccine is available through primary care physicians and local health departments. To help identify those who were in contact with the infected individual and may be at risk, people who were at any of the locations listed below at the specified date and time are asked to call the Virginia Disease Prevention hotline at (800) 5334148: Prince William Exposure Sites 7-Eleven, 1445 Old Bridge Road, Woodbridge • Wednesday, April 15 - 11:45 a.m. - 7:15 p.m. Safeway, 2205 Old Bridge Road, Woodbridge • Wednesday, April 15 - 7:45 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. Fairfax County Exposure Sites Harris Teeter, 8200 Crestwood Heights Drive, McLean • Friday, April 10 - 9:45 p.m. - 12 a.m. • Saturday, April 11-12 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. • Sunday, April 12 - 9:45 a.m. - 6:15 p.m. • Monday, April 13 - 9:45 p.m. - 12 a.m. • Tuesday, April 14-12 a.m. — 6:15 a.m. IHOP, 6655 Arlington Blvd., Falls Church • Sunday, April 12 - 4:15 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. CVS, 9009 Silverbrook Road, Fairfax Station • Tuesday, April 14 - 4:45 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. If people were at these locations on these dates and during the specified time, they may have been exposed to measles.
