Usually, the fare is canned, frozen or dry, and often stale. This bothered Rappahannock resident Hal Hunter. Why should those facing tough times eat less healthy than the rest of us - at least the rest of us who consider healthy eating to involve more than starches and canned beans, he asked. ^ Beginning Tuesday, June 2 at the old senior center on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington, those receiving aid will also have access to fresh food and eggs courtesy of Hunters “Plant a Row” program he began earlier this year. “It’s great, but we’ve still got a long ways to go,” said Hunter in an interview Wednesday. A big problem is that nobody’s coming yet to pick up food, but they are already getting donated fresh food, said Hunter. “Sunnyside Farms has already donated 70 pounds of fresh, mixed greens,” said Hunter, but most of it had to be given to the Fauquier Food See FOOD, Page A10 ‘Gardens of Rappahannock’ Photo by E. Raymond Boc WATER STREET GARDEN: Against the backdrop of the old walls of a factory and a series of charming old VDOT buildings, Ray and Pat Wood have created a spring showcase of flowers at their home and property on the east end of Water Street. What was once a tannery and later a pin factory for telephone poles, has been transformed. Pat's grandfather used to work in that tannery and now his descendant has honored his memory and those Sperryville residents who worked there. — Barbara Adolfi The Rappahannock News is featuring the ‘Gardens of Rappahannock.'

Council considers rezoning properties By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer As with many of its previous meetings, things didn’t get interesting at the Washington Town Council meeting last Wednesday until late. That was when discussion - led by town attorney John Bennett - turned to the possibility of including most of Phase II wastewater users in Phase I instead of adding more customers at some later time. The rationale was that these properties were along streets or avenues in which the opposite sides were in Phase I so it made sense to just include the other side as well. Citing that it was a “win-win” for everybody, Bennett said the proposal to rezone these properties from rural residential to village residential would allow for “better land use,” and allow the town to collect more money for the sewer up front. The other reason given was that including these properties See COUNCIL, Page A6 Taylor Light It’s all about music.. .and helping a friend By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Taylor Light. 16, will get by with a.little help from her friends ... and they just might garner enough donations to send her to Europe this July. Members of the Rappahannock County High School concert band, along with several musicians in the community, plan to host a benefit dinner and concert June 3 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. to help Light, a junior who lives in Woodville, raise the $5,000 needed for her 25 day concert trip with the prestigious Sound of America Ilono. Baud and Chorus. Light’s good friend and fellow hand member, senior Ryan Benyo of Castleton, organized the dinner and show. “This is not like any other music event. It's very personal and meaningful," Benyo said. “Taylor’s a real community-minded person, and she’s done tons in this community. We just want people to come out, enjoy a good meal and some music. It’s all donations. People can come in, support us, and you’ll be amazed how fast the money can come in” The Sound of America Honor Band includes two musicians from each state. After spending four days in early July learning the music. Light and the other band members will head to Europe where they will present 10 performances in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Luxembourg. While it is an honor to perform classical and patriotic music in some of Europe’s finest venues. Light and the other Honor Band members are responsible for all costs involved with the trip. “I thought I would have to do something for this benefit, but Ryan has organized everything," said Light, who will play the flute for the Sound of America Honor Band.

Jennings Hobson, III, (Jenks) holds the Blessing of the Animals. It is a short ceremony honoring our bond with animals - mostly pets. Rarely bears. This year, around Mother’s Day, all three bird feeders behind his house on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington were ransacked by a hungry bear. Rappahannock News P.0. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) Did he bless the bear? “Well,” Hobson laughed, may have had a few words for him. He was messing with my birds” Hobson said the bear preferred the one with sunflower seeds, didn’t much care for the finch food, and sucked all the suet of a third. He’s hanging the bird feeders from the house next year, he said. Hobson wasn’t the only one visited by this ursine stray. On the next street over and a few nights later on Main Street, Mary Ann Kuhn, owner of the Middleton Inn, was carrying one of her cats into the old summer kitchen where they sleep. She was startled to see the screen on the door pulled ofT and smashed, lying on the steps. In front of her was a big, brown bear paw on the white storm door. The bear obviously could see through the glass to a bowl of cat food sitting inside, only a couple feet away. “I didn’t know bears liked cat food,” she laughed. “I’m lucky I didn’t meet him in the dark.” Across the street, and a little over the way are the Sullivan’s - John and Beverly. “Once again, bears prove they can destroy to smithereens any bird feeder that exists,” said John Sullivan. About a week ago, he said, they came home to one tom to shreds. The next day, they came home and saw a bear racing away through the bushes. “I drove 'wildly aroun^ the property trying to chase it with the car,” he said. The bear got away. / See BEARS, Page A6 Photo courtesy Sharon Starr DINNER TIME: A fairly good- sized black bear cases the bird feeders at Sharon and Rick Starr's house in Harris Hollow looking for food. A large bear recently has been sighted several times in and around Washington, with several bird feeders having been destroyed.

Dean Hogan signs with UVA-Wise By Christine Krapf Special to The Rappahannock News Being patient pays. Just ask Rappahannock County High School senior punter/placekicker Dean Hogan. “Schools don’t like punters and kickers much, I guess,” he said with a laugh, “so you have to just sit and wait. There was one point that I was a little worried, but you let the chips fall into place.” In this case, Hogan will cash in those chips this fall on a partial scholarship at the University of VirginiaWise, an NAIA school in Wise County, Va., with a rich football tradition. The Cavs finished 19th in the postseason football coaches poll with an 8-3 record in the Mid-South Conference. “During (the last two years), Dean worked at improving his weaknesses diligently. His technical skills showed a vast improvement along with his conditioning and strength,” Rappahannock County athletic director and head football coach Bob Czekaj said. “There are very few high school athletes that are willing to work as hard as Dean worked. As his strength and skill improved, so did his confidence.” A four-year letterman on the Panthers’ varsity football team, Hogan, who lives in Amissville, averaged 40.1 yards per punt over his career. He attended the Ray Guy/Prokicker.com Kicking Academy where he earned the 48th spot on the national rankings list for punters. Besides serving as Rappahannock County’s punter, Hogan also handled the placekicking duties and .

During his four-year varsity career, he caught 86 passes for 1,297 yards and 12 touchdowns. His main job at UVAWise, however, will be as the team’s punter. Randy Hippeard, who handled the punting chores as well as starting at quarterback, just graduated. “I love the stadium and the field,” Hogan said. “It’s good for punting and kicking. You can get really good traction on the turf they have, and it’s only three or four years old. It’s like a cushion under you.” NAIA athletic programs, which number about 300 in the United States and Canada, are on par with NCAA Division II competition, as they offer athletic and academic scholarships to student athletes.

Traditionally, college football programs do not offer punters or placekickers any scholarship money until they sign such skilled positions as quarterback, wide receiver, linebacker and running back. Hogan garnered plenty of interest from Division III schools Shenandoah, Bridgewater, Emory & Henry and Ferrum, Division II schools Clarion (PA), West Liberty (WVA) and Division I-AA VMI. Even the University of Virginia and N.C. State liked what they saw on a DVD. Clarion gave Hogan a spot on its 2009 roster with the promise that he could compete for the starting kicking job.

RCHS students make lifelong gifts for children at orphanage By Joy Sours Special to the Rappahannock News Art students at Rappahannock County High School, under the direction of teacher Joy Sours, have joined the Memory Project, a nationwide initiative in which advanced, high school art students create original portraits for children living in orphanages around the world. Given that children who have been abandoned, orphaned, abused, or neglected usually have few personal keepsakes, the purpose of the portraits is to provide them with a special memory of their youth, to honor their heritage and identity, and to help them build a positive self-image. The project also provides an opportunity for young Americans to open their hearts to children who have endured many hardships, and to promote the value of sharing kindness with others. The Memory Project has been featured on national television several times, most notably when Katie Couric concluded her very first broadcast of the CBS Evening News with a story about the project’s success at an orphanage in Nicaragua. The project also has been covered by major newspapers and magazines throughout the country, all telling the Home and land transfers These Rcippahanmx:k County home and land transfers were recorded in the Rappahannock County Circuit Court Clerk's office between May 8 and May 14.

To do this, the students receive pictures of children who are waiting for portraits, and then work in their art classrooms to create the portraits. Once finished, the Memory Project organization delivers the portraits to the children, and the children are then invited to create drawings or write letters to send back to the art students. In total, the students will make portraits for five children living at an orphanage in Burma. The Memory Project is a nonprofit organization based in Madison, Wis. This is the project’s fourth year of operation, and already more than 10,000 portraits have been produced by high school art students around the country.

Audit Bureau of Circulations ——rrrr, www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2009 Time to get serious Like two schoolgirls fighting over who’s a bigger fan of teenybopper Zac Efron from “High School Musical,” Democratic gubernatorial candidates Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran have gone off message and switched their platforms to a question most Virginians could care less about: “Who loves Gov. Tim Kaine more?” The state is facing real problems: traffic-choked roads with no money left to improve them, unemployment and foreclosures breaking families — and the state will likely face another bleak budget seasod next year. However, in recent months, McAuliffe and Moran have bombarded media outlets with he-said, he-said press releases supporting Kaine’s record as governor. A statement released in late April by McAuliffe’s campaign with the headline “Really?” — reads: “In their latest attack on Terry McAuliffe, Brian Moran’s campaign has deliberately misconstrued McAuliffe’s statements about the job creation record of Governor Mark Warner and Governor Tim Kaine. “In fact, McAuliffe has daily praised the work Governors Warner and Kaine have done to create jobs and stabilize Virginia’s economy.’’ This was followed in May bv a statement from Moran’s newsletter, the “Pinocchio Report”: “Terry McAuliffe consistently says that he, as Chairman of the DNC, gave $5 million from the DNC to then-Lt. Governor Tim Kaine’s campaign for Governor. According to news reports today, this seems to be another exaggeration.” Even Creigh Deeds is trying to get in on the action, biting at the ankles of McAuliffe, who is leading the three-way primary in campaign donations. As great and lovable as Kaine may be. he is not running for governor this year, and this type of petty bickering is a discredit to the solutions-oriented approach that Kaine and his equally beloved predecessor, Sen. Mark Warner '!)), have touted for the past eight years. With the Democratic primary just weeks away, it’s time to get serious. How can voters make an informed choice among these three hopefuls without knowing what they stand for? And will any of them be ready for a serious campaign against Republican candidate Robert McDonnell, who has been spreading his message unopposed for nearly a year, if they can’t get past the petty arguing? We’re sure Kaine would not approve. Out of the Attic REMEMBERING OUR HERITAGE: The honor guard of military veterans presents the colors before the memorial service Monday in Woodville. (This photo and caption ran in the June 1, 1989 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Rappahannock News Photo/Lou Hatter Letters ‘No wonder the public must remain vigilant at all times’ At a recent meeting of the Board of Supervisors, Ron Frazier made a motion to approve the school budget by category. This would enable the county to more efficiently oversee the spending of tax-payer dollars. The recent example of the Ameresco Performance Contract vividly demonstrates this issue. Left to their own devices, the School Board would have committed the county to spending 4.3 million dollars (including interest) to replace light Fixtures, windows, and upgrade the heating/AC systems in two schools. The question arises, w hy weren't the heating systems properly maintained from year-to-year, as thousands of tax dollars had already been appropriated for just that reason? The problem with the current funding system is that once the budget is approved, the School Board is permitted to move money around from category to category, at its own discretion, with accountability to no one. These aren't nickels and dimes - we are talking about millions of dollars. It’s been argued that a switch to Ron Frazier's proposal to approve the budget by category would amount to micro-managing. But how could that be true if it’s still the School Board that would designate the categories and put in the numbers in the first place? The state of Virginia has provisions to allow counties to approve school budgets in this manner - with the clear intent of allowing county governments to keep expenses within guidelines and under control. In Rappahannock County, Ix'cause of the School Board’s past failures in managing projects, the supervisors have had to take over these projects which otherwise would have cost the county a great deal more. For example, the supervisors were compelled to take over the athletic fields project that was veering out of control and way over budget, in this instance, saving the county tens of thousands of dollars. The vote on Ron Frazier's proposal was defeated 4 to 1. What’s going on here? Are the supervisors afraid of doing their job? If they have no desire to truly oversee the most costly part of the county budget, amounting to approximately 65 percent of the county’s tax burden, just exactly what are they doing? Here is an accounting tool expressly provided by the state of Virginia which the supervisors can be using hut won’t. No wonder the public must remain vigilant at all times. Roger Cordani Flint Hill County easements celebrated at RCCA fund-raiser What an amazing place-—this county of ours! Where else could you move an outdoor event for 270 people to an indoor facility at the last minute? Saturday, May 16, the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) hold its annual fund-raiser, “Rappahannock Evening View.” It was bv all measures the most successful "Evening View” in the event’s five-year history, with the most money raised, and, importantly, the most fun. We, of course, want to thank everyone involved, particularly the Lapham family who kindly offered their beautiful Sunnyside Farm to host this year's event. But we also thought your readers might find it interesting to give them a glimpse at just how many diverse "interests” come together to make an evening like this successful and support the RCCA goal of land conservation through open space easements. For example, the high school shop class made the birdhouses that were present'd to easement donors over the last year. With dangerous weather in the forecast, what had been carefully planned for Sunnyside took place at The Link (which proved to be a wonderful-if crowded-setting for the event.) The Farm at Sunnyside product*! the asparagus and radishes for the menu. The county's three fox hunting organizations had encouraged their members to attend and were well represented. And many of the county’s public officials came to lend their support. But support goes far beyond the Rappahannock county line. In addition to the locals who attended, there were people there from most of the bordering counties and metro Washington, D.C., (.both city and suburbs.) At the core is the RCCA staff board members and loyal volunteers. And, finally, and perhaps most importantly, a number of county fanners, recognizing the value of conservation easements, attended the event and supported the efforts of RCt'A and the county’s Fannland Preservation Program. Thank you to all who made this such an outstanding success. We encourage everyone to visit the Rt.’CA Web site, httpi/Avww.rccava. org, for a complete list of those who made this evening possible.

Commentary & Opinion This opportunity was a calling for me: Not a job, but a gift’ Miranda Hope gave the following speech - her final report to the Rappahannock County School Board - on May 12 as she steps down as director of Headwaters’ Next Step Program which has raised significantly the percentage of Rappahannock County High School students going on to college. Last week I became intimately familiar with a procedure called an “external version.” The purpose of this procedure is to turn a breech baby - a baby who is not headed in the right direction. The success of this procedure is somewhere around 55 percent. Now, how hard can it be to turn a 6.5-pound baby who is swimming in water? How tough can that be? I could turn a 200-pound man on a raft in a swimming pool with one finger. As it turns out, it takes a village to turn a baby - it - takes three experienced, focused doctors with their six hands applying an enormous amount of pressure; it takes two nurses and an ultrasound machine and an entire tube of green gel; it takes a baby w ho is the right size at the right time w'ho will stay put once turned. When it is successful, as it was in my case, it is life-changing and w-orth every risk, every leap of faith, every ounce of effort - just to get that one child headed in the right direction. It was a cause for the 10 people in that small room to gasp and quietly celebrate. Changing school culture Four and half years ago, Mary Anne Biggs . called me at 8 o’clock on a Monday night in late December to offer me the job of directing a College Access Program at Rappahannock County High School. I had to think about it. I knew that I would devote myself to the job; I knew that it couldn’t be done for the 20 hours/week that I was signing up for; I knew that 1 knew very little about The Forum Miranda Hope many things that I needed to quickly learn; and I knew that the main goal was to change the culture of the high school from a place where students wondered whether they would go to college to a place where they wondered where they would go to college. As I sat there on my porch on that cold December night, I also knew I would take the job. Rationally, my brain was busy weighing out pros and cons. Simultaneously, I watched my other life interests raise their eyebrows at me, shrug their shoulders, turn on their heels and head for that crowded and proverbial back-burner. Very quickly, I realized that this opportunity was a calling for me. Not a job, but a gift. And so, four and a half years after saying “yes” to Mary Anne Biggs, I find myself proud and sad to make this final report to you, the hard-working, problem-solving, occasional punching bags of the Rappahannock County Public School Board. Accomplishments With the help and encouragement of Headwaters and the dedicated Next Step Board of Directors, in partnership with the RCHS guidance department, administration, and faculty, and the funding from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, generous individual donations and you, the School Board, Next Step has: • Held 4,215 individual meetings with students and parents; • Written 16 articles for the Rappahannock News and 36 newsletters; • Created nine original brochures, a textbook, a comprehensive Web site, a Common Application for Hogan From Page A2 study halls, guaranteed scholarship money (with the promise for more, depending on how much playing time he has) and a pre-physical therapy/ athletic training major helped UVA-Wise lure Hogan. “This was a hard decision, but I had a gut feeling that UVA-Wise was the right choice," he added. “1 felt a little nervous when 1 had to call Clarion and tell them my decision, but 1 knew that I had to call." Now that Rappahannock County’s soccer season ended ( Hogan started four years as a sweeper), the workouts for college football begin. The UVAWise coaching staff already has put together a schedule for Hogan. It includes running, lifting weights and speed drills. “There’s a lot of variety in the work, said Hogan, who will report for training camp Aug. 5. UVA-Wise plays its season opener Aug. 29 at Seton Hill (PA). “There's enough stuff to do that I could stay a day in the weight room with all the things they gave me. I’ll punt and kick all summer to get ready for the season.” NORTH CAROLINA Duck, N.C. Beach Rental, 2BR, 2BA Condo, Sleeps 8, Pool/ Tennis, $1000/wk in season. Special.

This year, the Class of 2009 has received acceptance letters from 50 colleges and universities in 17 states. This includes such competitive schools as the University of California at Santa Cruz, The University of Miami, Berkelee College of Music, and full-ride tuition offers from McNally Smith College of Music and The University of Alabama. Four students were accepted to the University of Virginia, three to the College of William and Mary - also record numbers for RCHS. We have students planning to matriculate at Wyotech Automotive College in Pennsylvania, The Motorcycle Mechanic's Institute in Phoenix, Ariz., and Germanna Community College’s excellent two-year Automotive program. Senior Dean Hogan has been recruited as a football kicker at several Division II and III colleges.

More than any other class in the last five years, these students have already started pursuing their dreams - through college level classes, internships, jobs, and summer opportunities. In my opinion they have perhaps the best shot at attaining those dreams of any class that I have seen. ‘How hard could it be?’ And when I look back four and half years ago, I remember calling Amv Silver, our tireless and genius grant writer, and asking her, “What if this doesn't work and I blow the $90,000 grant?” and her telling me that even if I helped one child, the $90,000 would be wellspent. .Just one child, .lust turning one child, heading her in the right direct ion How hard could it be? How hard could it fie to turn the culture of one small rural school to a new direction? To turn it from “whether” to “where" every child would go to college. How hard could that be? In some ways, it lias been easy - like spinning a 200- pound man on a raft in a swimming pool. We have such great, kids and families, such excellent and hard-working teachers. guidance professionals, and administrators the talent and dedicat ion in that school are remark able. It also has been challenging - weighing risks, evaluating set-backs, living disappointments and dismantling myths and hurdles, In many ways, if a change in the culture has occurred, it has taken dozens of expert and nurturing hands exerting a great and focused and unfinished pressure to turn that culture this far. ' There is always more work to be done. And there is always the risk that if those hands are removed, that pressure released, the culture might slip back to the place in which it rested before. But here, at this juncture we are 73 percent of the way there and it looks like the baby is staying put. and that. I believe, is something about which to gasp and quietly celebrate.

After a long presentation by Bennett regarding reasons to extend Phase I primarily along two streets - Mt. Salem Avenue and Harris Hollow Road — it was also suggested to include council member John Sullivan’s lot (now in permanent conservation easement) along Piedmont Avenue as well. Sullivan said later in an interview the property his house sits on, zoned rural residential, would not be included in the rezoning.

Certified I Arborist What is Anthracnose? Anthracnose is a term applied Jo a group of foliar diseases that affect many hardwood tree species throughout the United States. It is most prevalent and destructive in early spring when cod, moist weather conditions favor disease development. On highly susceptible species such as sycamores, oaks (especially white oaks), maples, ash and walnut, anthracnose may result in leaf and shoot blight, defoliation and even twig dieback. Repeat infections can cause gradual decline in tree health. Foliar symptoms vary considerably. On sycamore, white oaks and maple, large irregular brown to purplish lesions (dead areas) develop usually along leaf veins. On ash, black oaks, dogwood and walnut, discrete curricular or angular lesions occur on leaves. Blight and defoliation usually occur in early spring when leaves are small and succulent. Crowns of severely diseased trees appear thin and scrubby. Removing fallen leaves and twigs to reduce overwintering fungi that cause anthracnose, and periodic pruning to allow optimum light and air penetration of the crown, will inhibit disease development High nitrogen fertilization will also suppress disease seventy, and properly timed fungicide applications will help control anthracnose. Once infection occurs, however, chemical sprays are ineffective in preventing further disease development.

There should be no net increase in cost, according to Sullivan, and they have the opportunity now to rezone and ensure no additional development on these properties save the one exception mentioned at the CCLC school. Amendments Two amendments to the sewer ordinance were also discussed: One to allow for users who may have applied for a health permit to install a bathroom but were rejected, and another to change the date for returning easement agreements. Four property owners had failed to file by the April 17 deadline, in which MORE NEWS ONLINE.... .0 RappNevvs.com case their assessments were doubled. The extension was to allow them to avoid paying the double assessment. Town Administrator Laura Dodd related that all remaining property owners had stated the intent to participate. These remaining four would bring 100 percent of the town participating in the sewer system. Earlier in the meeting, the council voted on some of the appeals of sewer assessments, voting down Dr. Jerry Martin’s request as well as Skippy and Pat Giles’ in both cases citing “separate uses” of buildings or parts of buildings. Trinity Episcopal church had its assessment reduced based on past usage as did council member Gary Schwartz’s Piedmont Partners which owns the Heritage House.

Historic Hundand hosts Land Trust Garden Party You know how I love to meander the lush lawns and rose gardens of our Piedmont hoping to sneak a peak into a stately home that sits graciously in a bucolic meadow. Well, my dears, if you can’t get enough of our fabulous hunt country homes with their drop-dead, gorgeous gardens either, you won’t want to miss thb annual Virginia Land Trust Garden Party. Each year, The Virginia Land Trust strives to raise public consciousness about the need to preserve our all too rapidly disappearing (and never to be replaced) countryside. The best way to do that, they feel, is to tempt you with a scrumptious estate and a glass of white wine. This year’s chic soiree is being held on June 21 at Huntland, near Middleburg. ; ! Huntland is a stately Piedmont country manor ; circa 1830. Students of Aiherican architecture are chomping at the bit to get an up-close* and personal look at this picturesque estate that’s been chronicled in more books than Taste of THE Piedmont Karla Jones Seidita www.Cheesecake Farms.com anyone can count. The main house has the distinction of being constructed from locally made brick. Up until now, Huntland has never been open to the public. To get in, you had to be invited to one of the fashionable country parties attended by Washington dignitaries. President Lyndon Johnson’s name often comes up when folks talk about a Huntland party. The first resident of Huntland was renowned builder William Benton, who built Oak Hill in Loudoun County, the Virginia country estate of President James Monroe and his wife, Elizabeth. Over the years, Huntland has changed owners and, at times, like many great homes, has stood empty and in disrepair.

VA 540 3475126 EORMALAFFAIR.US Georgetown artist Christian Platt moves to Sperryville "I selected Sperryville because I love a small town with lots of culture and near a big city,” said Christian Platt who now lives on Main Street. The 22-year-old artist is represented by the Susan Calloway Gallery in Georgetown where he recently completed a show. He will open a new show in Kirchberg, Austria, on Aug. 1 in a gallery owned by one of his collectors. Platt grew up in Georgetown and began his study of painting in early middle school in weekend classes at the Corcoran School of Art and at the Maret School, from which he graduated in 2005. He 1 Sperryville I Barbara Adotfi i adolfibarbara@ * verizon.net < (540) 987-8682 attended Denison University for one semester before deciding to move west to work. He spent three years on the Switchback Ranch, a 200,000-acre ranch in Red Lodge, Montana. Painting full-time since the summer of 2008. Platt focuses on large-scale oil landscapes, often inspired by his time in the Montana and Wyoming wilderness, as well as his Christian Platt childhood spent in the Virginia countryside. He also dedicates himself to large-scale still lifes. h m ^pgttdjL}- ' f-W^ *®*llpF pjssjPs ■ "^p ^ ^ ;- “r i ' j ' - W ^ i igr*; v ~ '^ ^ ‘ =*^ - j. 3 1 Vj '< - .,■ : -V ■ . v ?i. :'., - ; . . ixM - : v f Rlrili 5; V# fr i sfi :$ («o \'\«t i *(*Pw} ? . r'/'’ . \H Valley Health Warren Memorial Hospital Warren Surgical Associates 1077 N.

Several of them are now mainstays of our creative community and include Jeanne Drevas, Eric Kvarnes, Nina Moore, Patty Mullan, and Janet Kerig. Among the newer members of the Sperryville art community are Suzanne Zylonis, Susan Dienelt, Anne Georgia McCraffray, Sara Schneidman, Hans Gerhardt, Martin Woodard, Ray Hoc and Steve Wagner. We are delighted to have Christian Platt join this eclectic group 'of Sperryville artists who work in a variety of media. Sperryville for a Day Trip Bob Tagart, publisher of the “Old Town Crier,” featured Sperryville this month as a day trip from the Alexandria area. This full page featun had lovely photos of Sperryville’s Main Street businesses. Wasmund’s and the Copper Fox. This man had done historical research and reminded readers that in 1911 “...the town boasted four churches, live general stores, one hotel, six mills, numerous shops and a population of 350.” This was an excellent article that has the potential .to bring day trippers to Sperryville rather than traveling farther from home.

\ Photo by Gary Schwartz ‘YES’: A plane flew over\the town of Washington on Sunday, May 9 carrying a banner, 'Trisha, will you marry me?’ Love is in the air - plane flies wedding proposal over town Can you imagine on a clear day seeing a plane fly high in the sky with a banner, popping the question, “Will you marry me?” What a way to say it loud, say it proud with a wedding proposal to beat them all. That’s what happened on Sunday, May 10 when a plane circled the town of Washington dozens of times pulling a banner saying, “Trisha, will you marry me?” The couple were staying at the Inn at Little Washington and the gentleman took it upon himself to ask his girlfriend to marry him in a special way Rachel Hayden, director of marketing at The Inn said, “The Inn did not know that this was going to happen. The gentleman took it all upon himself for this event to happen.” It had a happy ending. “The lady said, Tes,’ to the question,” according to Hayden. How could a loved one possibly refuse such a romantic gesture?

I wouldn’t choose to work anyplace else.* - Emily Mesick An extra pair of hands for our ED Things can get pretty hectic during the night shift in our emergency department (ED), but that has never been a problem for Emily Mesick. As a clinical technician, Emily draws blood, reads EKGs, inserts Foley catheters, and performs a variety of other services to assist the nursing staff with our ED patients. "When you work in an ED, you never know what’s going to happen next,” Emily says. "But I like that everything is always changing. That way, the job never gets boring.” Another part of the job that Emily likes is the camaraderie that develops among the staff while treating a patient with a difficult medical Condition. Whether they’re treating a teen who is intoxicated, hypothermic and unresponsive, or a heart attack patient who had to be shocked 14 times by paramedics on the way to the ED, the teamwork is amazing. “It doesn’t matter what is going on—when a patient needs help, everyone pulls together to get the job done. And helping the team during those types of situations is the part of this job that I like the most.” For more information about Fauquier Health go to wwwjauquierhealth.org or call Physician Referral & Community link at 540.316.DOCS (3627) or referral@fauquierhealth.org.

Countryside b • Classifieds/B7-8 May 21, 2009 www.rappnews.com A river runs deep in Rappahannock Local singer, songwriter takes inspiration from mountains, streams By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer There's a river deep in Ben Mason. The 58-year-old singer songwriter, who now lives in Rappahannock, is yet another talented ,soul who’s found refuge in a little comer of paradise. And it’s the rivers, and mountains, and forests, and the history of this place that seeps into his music. The title song of his third solo CD is called Loveland - about small town Sperryville. Later on is another song called “Rappahannock." On Saturday, May 30, Mason - and his 12-year-old son Henry - will perform songs from the CD and previous work at the Stonewall Abbey in Sperryville at 7 p.m. The music is soulful 80s rock - without the pretension and banal songwriting - but with lyrics that will grab you unexpectedly with their surprising intensity. One song, “Tough Love," is powerful and not for the faint hearted. None of Mason’s songs shy away from the truth of life. It is a melodious and melancholy drift down a sad river; the instrumentation redolent of Pink Floyd, but with Mason’s strong and steady voice backed by a chorus of dis-harmonic angels. The song is devastating, but beautiful, and it will leave its mark on the listener. Some people just have the gift, and this is Mason’s. His other job - Big Boy Repair - is an “artistic repair" business, as he calls it, which is almost as unique as his music. He repairs damaged antiques and artwork, and he had just come from fixing torn period wall-paper before the interview. On late Tuesday after noon, at a Vietnamese bistro in a Manassas strip mall - where a diminutive and kind elderly Vietnamese man served incredible dishes of simple food - Mason talked about divorce, death and loss; about fortunes gained, and fortunes lost; about life and when the real , love starts. Mason has the talent to have been a high rotation singer/songwriter - he was once approached, he said, to be the “next David Cassidy.” There’s but a fract ion of difference between that success, and what he is now - a singer/songwriter living in the rolling hills of Rappahannock writing songs about our place in the world and what it means to live. He got the better end of the deal. “My writing is about trying to dig deeper,” into life, he said. “It's about changes and how you get through them, the dark and the light and the interplay between the two,” he continued. Ultimately, we have to live both, he said, the light can be as blinding as the darkness. Instead of super stardom. he found balance right here in Rappahannock. He got lucky. What immediately came to mind listening to his latest CD were bands like Simple Minds, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd, and it would be easy to dismiss this, without listening yourself as a kind of 80s electronica with early 60s rock roots...but that’s what it is. And it is not cheap or shallow. It is the kind of mature and crafted music you wish you had heard back in that turgid decade. And Mason nails it. Rarely do the first notes of an album hook someone so well that they listen to the complete album non-stop. But that’s what happened with this. The Annandale, Va., native - who weaves a lot of Civil War history into his songs — is a wonderfully precise tenor, but he can also effect that gravely, down and out blues lament, and much of his songs have the understated backing harmony of a small gospel choir. By his own admission, a lot of this soulfulness didn’t See MASON, Page B5 Photos courtesy Ben Mason HOME GROWN: Top left, Ben Mason - in the background playing drums and singing - performs with his son.

Mason and his son will perform at the Stonewall Abbey in Sperryville on May 30 Ben Mason, above, is putting the finishing touches on his third solo album - Loveland' - which features him on several instruments in addition to vocals. Several of the songs were inspired by places in Rappahannock County.

Buckley. Hanny also served as a New York state legislator. “My position (as food and wine consultant) was a political appointment and I specialized in certain countries. I was called in whenever there was going to be a dignitary from one of those countries so the state dinner would be appropriate for the tastes of the guest.” Hanny hails from Buffalo, N.Y. and still owns a restaurant there called the Eagle House that was originally built in 1827.

Peter Winants dies on May 18 By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Rappahannock News Virginia lost a giant of the horse industry May 18, with the death of Peter Winants of Rectortown following a long illness. A native of Maryland, Winants, 82, was bom into the foxhunting-steeplechasing tradition: stepfather Bryce Wing was chairman of the Maryland Hunt Cup from 1938-’66. Winants attended Princeton and served in the Army during World War II. He and brother Garrett ran a photography business in Baltimore. In the beginning, photographing horses and equine sports was only a small part of their work, but soon Peter Winants added freelance jobs, including writing, fulfilling his passion for racing, especially steeplechasing. After watching Tommy Smith and Jay Trump win the 1965 English Grand National, a book brewed in Winants’ head: “Jay Trump, A Steeplechasing Saga,” a perceptively written story accented by Winants' photographs of the event. In 1972 Winants became writer, then editor, and later publisher, of the Chronicle of the Horse magazine in Middleburg, the heart of Virginia horse country. iNot omy aia winants take photographs and write articles for the Chronicle, but he also foxhunted around Virginia, as he had done in Maryland since age 12, rode timber races, and competed at dressage and three-day events. In 1991, Winants retired from the Chronicle and set about building the new National Sporting Library, moving it from the basement of the Chronicle building to a facility of its own. He was director of the library from 1991-’98. He served as director emeritus, then honorary director until his death. Winants also acted as field master to the private Bath County Hounds for 10 years. “Peter Winants embodied in his life much of what the National Sporting Library represents,” said Nancy Parsons, current NSL president. “A scholar and author on...foxhunting, steeplechasing and sporting art, Peter was passionate about country life and field sports. As the former director of the library, Peter played an integral role in the development and growth of the organization and his leadership continued through his service on the board. He was a fine gentleman, a respected colleague and a dear friend.” Winants wrote four other books, and was working ona fifth at the time of his death. Long-time friend and fellow journalist Arthur Arundel called Winants “one of the quiet giants of our times in local and national horse sports. His imprint both personally and through the internationally renowned Chronicle of the Horse and National Sporting Library is certain to have a lasting impact on the sports of foxhunting and steeplechasing which he most loved.” Throughout his life, Winants was fully immersed in the horse business, both as vocation and avocation. “There’s nothing like making a living with what you have a passion for,” Winants said in a 2007 interview. “[I’d] always been a horseman, and I had learned about photography, so I thought that this would be a good combination and a fun thing to do.” Longtime NSL librarian Lisa Campbell said that Winants was her inspiration. “It was an honor to work for Peter,” she said. Warren Menu WELC “He was always so positive, very encouraging, whether it was riding or writing. He was a remarkable leader for the library.” Winants is survived by wife of five years Mary Weeden Winants. First wife Rosemary died in 2002. Winants had four children — Jennifer Rose, Bryce, Peter Jr. and Garrett “Woods.” Winants had six grandchildren. Memorial contributions can be made to the Piedmont Environmental Council or a charity of choice. Funeral and burial will be private.

Quiet Desperation By Jean Sorensen Toward the end of a reeent^church service, a toddler a few rows behind me began to cry. I didn’t blame the little guy. After nearly an hour. I felt like crying too. especially when the only relief from stand ing was sitting in a pew that rivaled concrete in flexibility. The only things that stopped me from losing it were temporary dignity and eternal damnation. People who are intolerant of children who act like, um, children after extended stints at churches, museums or upscale restaurants should put themselves in a child's world for a while.

Flappanamock News Gainesville Times Culpeper Times cut you a break — try it for 20. I bet you’d bail within 5 feet, right after realizing the pain you just experienced would be the first in a series of excruciating muscle spasms. Coincidentally, that’s when security will have arrived. The point is, that is how a child feels when trying to endure a lengthy stay in an adult environment. So when the child in church started crying, I wasn’t surprised or angry. I simply sat and listened to his family’s goings-on. After all, I couldn’t hear any other goings-on, including the sermon, choir, monstrous pipe organ or my own thinking. The child’s father relied primarily on the old parental standby: he repeatedly said, “Shh.” Not surprisingly, it did absolutely nothing. No, that’s not true — it added to the family’s decibel output, successfully masking the moans I made whenever I rose from the concrete pew. Contrary to popular belief, “shh” is not a derivation of the word shush; it’s short for “shut up.” That’s why the sound is rarely made as a kindly reminder, but rather as a do-it-or-else threat. Many moms can “shh” through clenched teeth, sending their children into silence and bystanders to their cars to check for leaky tires. After many years as both shushee and shushor, I learned that “shh” works fairly well on children between the ages of 3 and 9. Prior to that range, it’s a distraction at best. You might as well be mooing, or humming the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” After age 9, “shh” becomes an invitation to join in, often creating a shushing tsunami. Many a school" assembly has been disrupted with a single “shh.” The small but powerful sound will awaken and energize preteens who ramp it up with increased volume, frequency, duration and saliva. “SHHHHH! SHHHHHH! SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!” Youngsters who have developed “shh” immunities are told to “quiet” or “settle” down. The twoword admonition is most often heard from substitute teachers, grandpas, and tour guides at historical landmarks. For the Jean Sorensen most part, this technique is successful until adulthood, when the majority of us have the social skills necessary to avoid being shushed in public. Those who don’t become lobbyists. This does not mean that on occasion adults (e.g., spouses) do not talk out of turn (e.g., nag). In grownup relationships, “shh” is replaced with, “Calm down.” Ironically, “Calm down” has the opposite effect, often baiting a “DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!” response. Next comes “shut up” (usually in question form, as in “Why don’t you?”), then, if there’s a chance others can overhear the exchange, “Shh!” And at that stage in the conversation, you might as well be humming “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Sophie’s From Page B1 available at Sophie’s and if Hanny is around - as he frequently is — he’ll be glad to sign it for customers, Schalestock said. “I was lucky enough to travel, especially with Kennedy and Johnson, and to witness a tremendous amount of history of the ‘60s and ‘70s,” Hanny said. Hanny has also written “Asleep at the Wheel” and “The Third Option,” which is due out later this year. He is at work on a fourth book tentatively titled “The Quiver of Allah,” he said. Schalestock says on his menu notes that Hanny “brings with him a brand new menu and an old style of cooking with many of his White House recipes included and as we move forward you will be able to enjoy more of them.” “I got to know Jerry when the place was the East Street Tavern,” Hanny said. “He was selling too much alcohol and SPERRYVILLE ACREAGE 16.25 Acres Beautiful site with mature trees, old stonewall, springs/ stream and mountain views.

He said he wanted to do something different. “I wrote up a business plan for him for a family restaurant. He loved it and we decided to move forward. There are some other really good restaurants on East Davis Street, but there was really no place for seniors, young families and those with a moderate income. We’re carving out our own niche in the midst of several well-known restaurants with fabulous chefs. I’m here as a consultant.” He said an “average” dinner at Sophie’s ranges from $10 to $12. Hanny has been busy training the chefs at Sophie’s and said that “just last week” he turned over the reins to head chef Maegan Partlow, 32. “She is really something,” he said. “She does an excellent job.” Linda Leavel is Partlow’s assistant and chefs Shanda and Isis also help with food preparation, Schalestock said. Hdnny also singled out Susan Spencer, manager of Sophie’s and former owner of A La Heart restaurant in Culpeper. “She does a wonderful job,” Hanny said. “She’s an excellent manager.” “I’m extremely happy here,” Spencer said. “I like the atmosphere. It’s quite a change from the sports bar. I like the people I work with And the people seem to like it, too. It’s especially nice ' to see repeat customers. It’s fun to see how people react that used to come in when it was a sports bar. They are completely surprised by the change in appearance “We have wonderful chefs. Jack has shown them what to do and they’ve taken over. I believe in this place. We’ve had nothing but good comments so far.” Server Jennifer Ragle said she enjoyed the change of atmosphere as well. “People are used to this being the tavern and it’s not that anymore,” Ragle said with a smile. “Of course if anyone wants some nice wine, we ll be glad to sell it to them. And people should really try the Reuben and the Rachel sandwiches. They are our best sellers.” Asked to name their favorites from the menu, Spencer opted for the lasagna and the chicken salad. Hanny chose the jambalaya. “I know (Chef) Paul Prudhomme very well,” Hanny said. “I was looking through one of his books and I tried the jambalaya recipe, but I didn’t like it. I called him up and said ‘I want the recipe for the jambalaya I had at your restaurant in New Orleans last time I was there.’ It’s very hot, but the heat goes away almost immediately. It features chicken and shrimp in a Creole sauce and it’s served with rice.” Hanny also spoke highly of the smoked salmon and lobster penne. Hanny said he plans to make himself available to Schalestock as he is needed. “I told him I’ll be around for probably a year, at least until the place is profitable, which doesn’t happen overnight. And if Jerry needs me for more than a year I'm as close as a telephone. I really want to see this place be successful.” STOP PREMATURE AGING...

Mason From Page B1 exist until Mason moved to Rappahannock in 2000. Prior to this Mason was performing 11-12 dates a month and running two businesses in Falls Church. He was literally dragged to the country by his wife at the time. When he first arrived, he said, “There was no trash pick-up, no Starbucks, no sushi.” But soon he learned that the undistracted life is definitely worth living. “I’ll never leave,” he avows, “but that transition,” wasn’t easy. Mason, fit and younglooking, has two sons: Henry, 12, (who he said shows a lot of promise on guitar), and Arlo, 9, who also shows musical inclinations but is a little more stage shv. Mason said he started playing in the 60s in a band called The John Wells Delegation. Their music at the time was very much influenced by The Byrds (which launched the careers of David Crosby and Gram Parsons among others), and Jim Croce. He then turned “Nashville” playing with the likes of Mary Chapin Carpenter, Poco, Rick Derringer and John Mellencamp. His first album, “River Deep in Me,” was released in 1992. In 1993, Mason won the Grand Prize at the Tenth Annual Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, and in 1997 he recorded his second solo album, “48 States of Love.” The lead song on “Loveland” — Love and the Truth - will be featured in the independent film “Recluse." Most recently, Mason found that he likes composing personal songs, and performing them, for events like weddings. In addition to the performance on May 30 at the Stonewall Abbey, Mason will perform at the “Tezfest" — put on by local musician Dontez - on June 27. His songs and other work will soon be available at www.benmasonsongs.com. I’ll never leave.

The event is sponsored by Culver Academy in Culver, Indiana." Varsity Softball - Defeated by Strasburg 3 - 2.
