131st Year ... No. 23 Washington, Va. THURSDAY, JUNE 4,2009 (540) 675-3338 wvi-w.rappne\x'vcom 75* RCHS students finish third in national academic quiz competition Rapp in top 25 percent of all teams competing By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Senior captain A.J. Collins offered a unique perspective on the Rappahannock County High School Scholastic Bowl team’s third-place finish in the National Academic Quiz Tournament in Chicago. “Finishing third at nationals is like getting the bronze medal at the Olympics,” Collins said. “It’s like we were Tuvalu. No one had heard of them before. No one will remember their flag. They just walked in, got a medal and walked out quietly.” Tuvalu is a nation, a former British colony located between Hawaii and Australia. And the explanation that Collins offered, well, it sounds like someone who played in many Scholastic Bowl tournaments would give. The 240-100 victory over Vermillion, S.D., early Saturday afternoon lifted the Panthers to their third-place finish and trophy in the small schools division of the 192-team tournament. Overall. Rappahannock County placed in the top 25 percent of all of the teams competing. Collins finished fifth in the individual scoring, averaging more than 77 points per match. The individual scoring champion, Ike Jose of Stow-Munroe Falls, Ohio averaged more than 85 See QUIZ BOWL, Page A8 P'-o'o Dy David Naser WINNERS: Rappahannock County High Schoo's Scholastic Bowl team celebrates its third-place finish in the small schools division in the National Academic Quiz Tournament rn Chicago.

Kramer building partnership seeks new businesses Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Clatterbuck FRESH PAINT: Monte Clinediast, an independent contractor based in Sperryville, adds a fresh coat of paint to the front of the Kramer Building on Gay Street in Washington. Ken Thompson - co-owner of The Sperryville Corner Store, Thornton River Grille and. Rudy's - refinanced Peter Kramer's mortgage on the building. They also formed the Kramer Building, LLC with the intent of attracting new tenants and businesses to Washington. By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock New? Staff Writer County voters may not have thought the Kramer Building in Washington was worth much, hut a local businessman certainly did. eliminating the possibility of the county purchasing - at a re-negotiated price - the building to use the space for county offices. Ken Thompson - co-owner of Thornton River Grille, The Sperryville Corner Store and Rudy's (along with his wife Mary, his son Andy, and his wife Dana* - has partnered with Peter Kramer to form the Kramer Building, LLC. The new corporation was formed to attract tenants and businesses to the town of Washington. *®4‘ “Pedple have been coming to me concerned that there is almost no traffic in Washington.” said Thompson in an interview yesterday. Thompson - who lent Kramer $779,767 to restructure* his mortgage - said they have alreadydone work on the building, sprucing up the grounds and painting the exterior. There are plans to renovate the building. The building has about 13,000 square feet of usable space, but is only one third occupied. “It’s a great space.” said Thompson, “and we are open to the idea of small businesses renting -pact at attractive rates." Including businesses such as a restaurant? "Were brainstorming,” said Thompson. As to he or Andy opening a new restaurant, he said it is unlikely. However, he said they would consider a restaurant as a tenant. “We have so much on our plates right now, we can hardly say grace." said Thompson. The building is also wired for broadband Internet, addressing one aspect that the newly renamed Economic Revitalization Advisory Committee is exploring as a need to attract new business to the county. Thompson, however, likes to defer the attention to people other than himself. This now partnership he saw as an opportunity to help Peter Kramer after the county purchase debacle. He will also stress that he doesn’t run those very businesses in Sperryville. Those are run by Andy and Dana Thompson. “I view my principle role,” he said of those businesses, “as selling newspapers on Sunday mornings.” Thompson said they will soon be advertising for new tenants, and hopefully bring some “revitalization" to the Town of Washington. Board approves smaller county budget, cuts taxes By Stephen Dareinc, Rappahannock News Staff Writer There were no surprises at Monday's Rappahannock County Board of Supervisor’s meeting as the board approved the county’s 2009/10 fiscal year budget of $2,141,089 - a $2 million decrease from last fiscal year’s budget. The property tax rate of 60 cents per $100 of valuation was also cut by 2 cents to 58 cents per $100. The schools - which held their funding request from the county to last year’s levels - received a little boost in federal stimulus money being allocated $294,312 in funds with an additional $79,360 that School Superintendent Dr. Bob Chappell said the School Board asked to be appropriated in October.

Washington puts new ambulance in service Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue has a new ambulance to respond to emergency calls. Its old 1997 ambulance has been out of service for two months due to prohibitive repair costs. The new ambulance cost just over $152,000. and was largely ' funded by a generous grant from the Jesse and Rose Loeb Foundation. After reviewing the number of emergency calls for Washington and the condition of the old ambulance, the foundation recognized the benefit to the Rappahannock community of replacing the old ambulance. Washington's new ambulance incorporates design features developed by Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue to care for seriously ill patients during the time it takes to transport them to emergency care. Photo Dy Ann Scxeker Planning Commission examines rezoning By Stephen Dareing Rappahannock News Staff Writer Seven properties within the Washington town limits are under consideration for rezoning from rural residential to village residential. The properties include three owned by the Inn at Little Washington along Harris Hollow Road, the Child Care and Learning Center apartments and building on Mt. Salem Avenue, Jimmy Debergh’s property adjacent to it, the Middleton Inn on Main Street, and Alice Butler’s property at the fringe of the town’s limits on the northeast side of town on Skyline Lane off of Harris Hollow. The Town Council and Planning Commission will hold a joint public hearing in July to allow for public comment on the proposed zoning changes. The July date will be determined at the June 10 meeting. Following a recommendation from the Town Council, the Tbwn of Washington's Planning Commission met Monday night to discuss the possible rezoning of the seven properties which an1 at the edges of the town core. Should these properties be approved for rezoning by the Town Council, they would be eligible to connect to the sewer system in Phase I. The arguments presented were that these properties are along streets that already have the sewer main installed, and that including them will amend “anomalies" which exist in the current zoning structure. All except one property an* either adjacent to properties that are currently zoned village residential, along a street that has sewer access or both. Why these weren’t zoned village residential prior to the sewer project no one can answer definitively. County Administrator John McCarthy spoke to prior ownership and councils that over time added parcels here and there to the town core. But, he also said, “there is a degree of arbitrariness about zoning lines." Generally, extending high density zoning (village residential) out from the core implies growth. Council member John Sullivan was, and has been, quick to point out that the council is trying to get assurances from the property owners that the allowed density under current zoning (rural residential) would remain unchanged. The Planning Commission discussed each of the properties in turn - supporting some, deferring or rejecting others - but in the end voted to recommend that the entire slate of seven properties be recommended back to the Tbwn Council to be advertised for a public hearing It was also noted that thtoe seven properties could include more if property owners made an See REZONING, Page AS

Caroline Massie recognized for outstanding achievement, community involvement Caroline Massie, a senior at Rappahannock County High School, was one of 12 students selected from 20 Virginia high schools to receive an award May 28 by the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) for outstanding achievement and community involvement. As a local cooperative, REC recognizes the importance of community involvement and student achievement. With the creation of its Literacy Education and Rural Networking or LEARN scholarship program in 1996, the cooperative began rewarding local students who excelled in these two areas. This spring REC awarded 12 of the $1,000 LEARN scholarships to students who are seeking to advance their education beyond the high school level. “The LEARN program recognizes students for their many years of academic pursuit,” said Ann M. Lewis, REC’s director of public relations. “As a member-owned cooperative, REC strives to be an integral part of the communities it serves. Investing in the future of local high school seniors is just one more example of how the Cooperative accomplishes that goal.” The 2009 LEARN Scholarship recipients were selected from a competitive group of applications received from nearly 20 high schools throughout REC’s service territory. The applications were reviewed by a committee and evaluated based on scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, community involvement, financial need and interest in rural affairs. “Since its inception, the LEARN program has helped many students pursue their career goals,” added Lewis. “This year's recipients will be attending colleges and universities across the country tackling a variety of career goals.” IT’S ABOUT SAVINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER... *1500 TAX CREDIT + ’1500 OFF NEW SYSTEMS S = *3,000 IN SAVINGS!!! * *1500* ALL PREMIER SYSTEMS *1566 TAX CREDIT IKHER YOU REPLACE YOUR EXISTING A/C, HEATING UNIT EVERY REPAIR, EVERY TIME Superiors annum U m h -V-.

Megan Wheatley pursues career in nursing Competes for spot on college volleyball team By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News You might say that senior Megan Wheatley is a natural to pursue a career in nursing. She certainly has seen enough nurses and doctors over four years of volleyball, basketball and soccer for Rappahannock County High School. “Once a season, I would be in the hospital,” she said with a laugh. “A broken finger, sprained both ankles, had a concussion, fractured my shoulder, Nurses did so much for me that I want to be the person to help others in their time of need.” This August, Wheatley will fill another need. She will compete for a starting outside hitter’s spot on the Randolph College volleyball team. The Wildcats compete in the NCAA Division III Old Dominion Athletic Conference. They posted a 28 conference mark and were 7-20 overall last fall. Division III schools cannot offer any students athletic monies, but Wheatley, who is ranked in the top five of the senior class, earned a nice merit scholarship to help her defray some of her tuition costs. A chance to study nursing, merit money and compete at the collegiate level made Randolph’s offer too good to turn down. “At the end of volleyball last fall, I still wanted to continue to play,” said Wheatley, who lives in Sperryville with her father Chris, mother Barbara and sisters Laura and Sarah. “I liked competition and the team concept.” She did not want volleyball, however, to be the deciding factor when looking at colleges. A school with excellent academics and a nursing imyor were priorities. Wheatley earned admission to five other schools - James Madison, George Mason, Eastern Mennonite, Shenandoah and Lynchburg. All have nursing programs. But only Eastern Mennonite, Shenandoah and Lynchburg offered her any feedback on playing collegiate volleyball. Lynchburg needed a setter, she said, so she would not be a recruiting priority. She spoke just once to Eastern Mennonite’s coaches. Shenandoah sent Rappahannock County High School senior Megan Wheatley (seated in the middle) will play volleyball and major in nursing at Division III Randolph College. Joining Megan when she announced her college choice are, seated, her mother, Barbara, and father Chris. Standing, from left: principal Adam Burket, RCHS volleybaU coach Scott Wilde',\sisters Sarah and Laura, and athletic director Bob Czekaj. Photo by Ethan Russell Wheatley a letter during the volleyball season, but did not contact her again. “I always thought about going to a small school, and Randolph will be similar to Rappahannock,” Wheatley said. “Most-people don’t know what Randolph is until I tell them, and then they know someone who has been there and loved it.” Located in Lynchburg, Randolph is formerly known as Randolph-Macon Women’s College. It first admitted males two years ago to bring its student population to 710. Among its alumni is novelist Pearl S. Buck. In an effort to attract more students, Randolph just completed a new sports complex for the soccer and lacrosse programs. “A lot of alumni really give back to the school,” Wheatley said. “They loved the school so much.” The nursing program will provide Wheatley with a tremendous opportunity, too. After three years at Randolph, she will spend two years either at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore or Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

Ask the Arborist By Jamie Wood I.S.A. Certified Arborist The Stings, Bites and Rashes of Summer Every newscast these days has a story about a new disease, many carried by insects or ticks. West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever make going outside a bit more treacherous than ever before. Ticks are a pest that continue to cause concern “Deer' ticks promote the spread of Lyme Disease that, untreated, can cause lifelong neurological problems. Ticks also vector Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis. Bartlett has a program of tick control based on inspections, barrier treatments, cultural practices and other methods to target tick populations. The basic rule of thumb is to remember that ticks are easily reduced by properly timed barrier sprays. It also helps to remove brush and woodpiles, dear around stone walls, prune and trim to increase sunlight and air circulation (ticks don't like dry, sunny areas), reduce habitats for any rodent populations and deter deer visitations.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com Is RAWL for the dogs? This week we learned that Sally Cunningham - a longtime volunteer and fundraiser for RAWL - was asked to resign as president of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League by its Board of Directors. We had heard indirectly that she was given an ultimatum with a list of grievances which, if she were being told to resign, seemed a little self-serving. All of this, we are told, because a project to renovate the two shelter buildings at the Amissville collection center had run into cost overruns. Several requests by the Rappahannock News for comment from the board went unanswered. That the board decided to make a personnel change is not unusual, but what followed was, and can be accurately described as the casual and flippant attitude that it was none of our business; it was a private matter. INot so. Although RAWL may be a private foundation, it is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation that operates on county property and receives county funding. RAWL receives about $60,000 annually from county taxpayers. As a consequence, the board is responsible and accountable to the public. For instance, we would like to know just what financial controls RAWL has in place, is there county oversight, and who is, or was, responsible for the shelter renovation project? Was there a project manager appointed, was there a budget and money appropriated, and are there firm guidelines and bylaws that are being followed; all actions that a Board of Directors would be held accountable to. Why the abrupt dismissal? Ms.Cunningham, over the past 15 years, has significantly improved the finances of RAWL through donations. In a letter to the editor several prominent citizens laud her efforts and contributions. We are left with the conclusion - without evidence to the contrary - that the board, at the very least, would rather everything be swept under the rug, that the lax oversight might continue, that they not be held accountable to the public that supports them - not only through tax dollars, but in donations and volunteerism as well. Those are not the actions of a responsible non-profit foundation board that depends mightily on community support. SeM, baby/way TO Qof you're- ACTUALLY suNAtm DOWN t yori'T STOP NOW! S~\ fcouNTrt !6UDG£L <&2-0o? 7T7u.<-l<WY' Letters ‘Sally Cunningham is one of these outstanding citizens’ We have just learned that Sally Cunningham will no longer be president of the board of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL). This strikes us as singularly unfortunate. We are truly blessed in Rappahannock County by having so many willing and talented people who volunteer their time, energy and skills for the needs of the community. There are, however, some among us who are truly extraordinary in their service to this county. Sally Cunningham is one of these outstanding citizens. Among her many other contributions to our common good, she has worked tirelessly for the benefit of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, getting us all to strut our mutts, hoe down for dogs, vaccinate our pets against rabies, and spay, neuter and adopt a vast number and variety of our canine friends. Through her leadership skills and vision she has made RAWL a first class animal shelter that is the envy of other counties, cities and towns in the surrounding area. So we are extremely sad to hear that Sally is leaving the RA\VL board. It is hard to imagine that they will find anyone as dedicated, knowledgeable, and competent as she is to take her place. It is with heartfelt thanks and gratitude for a job very well done that we wish her all the best. Stephanie Ridder John Beardsley Jane Livingston Barbara Lohre Mary Jane Cappello Chris Bird Nancy Dillon Congratulations to the Claffys!’ I looked forward to reading the lead article in last week’s Rappahannock News: “Rapp couple wins lottery.” The accompanying photograph, of Joe and Sue Claffy and their $19 million check, made me smile for their good fortune. I read the newspaper article itself, and was dismayed to find that two paragraphs had been devoted to an account of an incident that had happened in 2001. Did this subject have to be included in the story of the lottery Mega Millions win? Why didn’t the reporter write about Joe Claffy's good fortune, or his happiness and surprise when he won the prize? I think that would have been more to the point, not the “negative reporting.” I know that Joe and his wife will make good use of the money, for they are kind and generous people. Congratulations to the Claffys! Susan Achenbach Flint Hill John Lesinski ‘has the best interests of the folks who live in this district’ I am writing in support of John Lesinski’s candidacy for the 15th District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. His long-term business experience provides him with an excellent basis for addressing the economic/unemployment problems in the 15th District. John is critical of Del. Todd Gilbert’s vote refusing acceptance of $125 million in federal funds for unemployment benefits in Virginia. This occurred in the face of a Page County unemployment rate of 17.6 percent in February. Of the 100 delegates in Virginia, Todd Gilbert was one of only eight delegates who did not vote for Gov. Tim Kain&’s budget which contained recovery and reinvestment dollars that would aid our economy. It is clearly time to elect a delegate for the 15th district who has the best interests of the folks who live in this district. Del. Gilbert has demonstrated that he has lost touch with our needs.

She joined 325 senior citizens from five counties at a jamboree sponsored by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Area Agency on Aging. Susan Weinberg, daughter of Robert and Wendy Weinberg of Slate Mills, recently won the 1984 Antietam Review Literary Award for her short story, “Super- 8.” Weinberg, 24, is a 1982 graduate of Boston University, and currently is an MFA candidate at Cornell. Weinberg received $200 for “Super-8,” about teenagers dealing with a tragedy while filming an amateur movie. The story appears in the 1984 Antietam Review, an annual literary journal. Memorial Day services scheduled for outdoors last Monday weren’t dropped despite intermittent rain that fell during the holiday weekend. Reverend Jennings Hobson had announced a “serious rain” game plan prior to the event. Originally scheduled to take place in Woodville at St. Paul’s Cemetery, the Memorial Day service was moved one-half hour before its start-time to Trinity Church in Washington. 10 YEARS AGO June 2,1999 Ed Barton, president of the Friends of the Library, made another generous series of offers at the Rappahannock County Library Board of Trustees May meeting. On behalf of the Friends, he committed to the purchase of two new computers for the library, one to go to the director, with the director’s existing computer to be placed in the children’s reading room to help the library improve computer literacy. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office recently assigned three new road deputies: • Andy Berry, 24, of Washington. Berry is a graduate of Rappahannock High School, and was hired by the Sheriff's Office in December of 1997. • Mark Currence, 27, of Flint Hill. A graduate of Lord Fairfax Community College, Currence was hired as a jailer in February, 1997 and selected last fall to become a road deputy. • J.C. Welch, 23, of Sperryville. Welch was hired Jan. 4. He has a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from Radford University, and would like to pursue a Master’s degree in Forensic Science. The new deputies are all natives of the county. They graduated from the academy on May 7. The proposed move of Rappahannock Chiropractic Services to a location just west of Washington took another step toward becoming reality at the May meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals. All members were present, including two new members. Bob Harrema was recently appointed to fill the seat vacated by Martin Woodard, and Bob Weinberg was appointed to fill the seat previously held by the late Sid Gottlieb. Also present was County Administrator John McCarthy. Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

‘Primary election Tuesday is open to all registered voters’ On Tuesday, June 9, citizens of Virginia will have the opportunity to go to the polls and vote in the Democratic primary. On the ballot will be candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, all of them with a wide range of experience and strong convictions on where to take the Old Dominion in the next four years. Three men are competing for the Democratic nomination for governor. They are: Creigh Deeds, a state senator from rural Bath County and a veteran of 18 years in the state legislature; Terry McAuliffe, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, successful businessman, and close personal friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton; Brian Moran, a former prosecutor and delegate from Alexandria. There is little difference among the three contenders on the major issues. They agree on the need to boost the state’s economy, create jobs, fund roads and mass transit, enforce immigration laws and oppose legalizing same sex marriages. It’s more of a contest between styles and personalities: Sen. Deeds is a small town lawyer who nevertheless knows how to get things done in Richmond; Mr. McAuliffe is the man with big plans for the Commonwealth and the national connections to help make them happen; Delegate Moran is the suburban progressive in sync with 21st century Virginia. There are also three candidates on the ballot for lieutenant governor Jon Bowerbank, a self-made millionaire; Mike Signer, a national security consultant; and Jody Wagner, a former member of the governor’s cabinet. Mr. Bowerbank made his fortune in the energy business and has donated over $2 million of his own money to improve Virginia schools; Mr. Signor is a longtime political activist and campaign strategist, author, college professor and commentator on MSNBC and NPRr Ms. Wagner has much experience in managing the taxpayer’s money first as state treasurer and then as Secretary of Finance. All of these candidates are committed to continuing the fine work of their predecessors, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, two governors who have steered Virginia through a rough decade, bookended by the Sept. 11 attacks at the beginning and the Great Recession at the end. The last thing we want to do now is turn our fine Commonwealth over to the party of Rush Limbaugh. a man, who in these tough and dangerous times, believes “failure" is an option. The primary election next Tuesday is open to all registered voters, be they committed Democrats, intelligent Independents, or Republicans who have seen the light. All are welcome. Fred Schaefer SperryviUe Peter Hitchen abruptly withdraws from race A bare two weeks after announcing his candidacy, Peter Hitchen has withdrawn from the race for supervisor of the Piedmont District. Hitchen said in a telephone interview Wednesday that “it just wasn't time yet, people don't know me.” “I really want folks to know who I am,” said Hitchen and that it would take a little more time for that to happen. There were some people, according to Hitchen, who had been going door to door ahead of him as he collected signatures to get on November's ballot suggesting that “a vote for me was a vote for someone else in the county I won't name.” “I'm not bitter about anything,” said Hitchen, “but it was a premature run.” “This past election was bad enough,” he said referring to the elections last year, “and we just don't need that in our county.” Hitchen said he would like to run for office in the future, but after he's had a bit more time for people to get to know him. Rezoning From Page A1 application to the Town Council. The elephants in the corners are properties such as that owned by Jeff and Lisa Franzen across from the Middleton Inn, and other large properties at the edges of town that if rezoned could be subdivided to create several housing lots. All of these properties were originally slated for Phase II of the sewer project. Pulling (them in now does not increase the cost to the town Sullivan has said. But r what remains unspoken is the looming specter of development if the sewer were extended to these properties at the edge of town. Some of this has been addressed by both Mayor Eugene Leggett and Sullivan in conversations with the Inn at Little Washington, the CCLC and DeBergh, all of whom have in principle agreed not to increase density beyond what is allowed under current zoning, said Sullivan at the meeting. What remains to be seen is how property owners who are not a part of this initiative may react to these proposals. Meetings and Notices • On Tuesday, June 9 the Rappahannock County School Board will meet at 7 p.m. closed session and at 7:30 p.m. public session at RCHS band room. • On June 10, the Washington Town Council will hold a meeting at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall. Highlights from the agenda include: public hearing on an amendment to the sewer ordinance; wastewater update: consideration of the Goodine and Section 108 i hardship appeals of sewer assessments; approval of the FY 2009-2010 budget; consideration of the Metcalf water tap request; grant writer proposals; appointment of a Planning Commissioner, and a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance. • If you are a property owner in the Sewer Service District in the Town of Washington with an existing building that has previously been denied a drainfield by the Health Department and you would like the town to consider allowing your property to connect to the sewer at “Existing User” rates of $7,500 per tap or EDU, please apply by writing to the town by June 8. Contact Town Hall at 675-3128 for more information. • The June 17 county Planning Commission meeting has been canceled.

Bankruptcy auction brings ‘half price’ for B&B property Viewtown house, barn, acreage sells for $550,000 By Jed Duvall Special to the Rappahannock News Lantern Lane Farm, sold under court order, brought $550,000 at an auction last Friday. The well-known property, off Dodson Road in Viewtown, features a large plantation-style house and 11-stall bam - neither more than a few years old - and 10 scenic acres. The place is being operated as an equestrian bed-and-breakfast The home is 3,400 square feet with high ceilings, four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a full basement, and a two-car garage, all in excellent condition. The centeraisle bam went with the house. Auctioneer Mike Torrence of TRF Auctions of Lynchburg told the small crowd of bidders and onlookers that “this may be the biggest bargain we’ve sold this year.” Later, Torrence pointed out that the property was first on the market at $995,000 and that, after consultation with Rappahan nock area real estate agents, that price was reduced to $795,000. Eventually, bankruptcy court ordered last week's absolute auction. There were no reserve bids. As the bidding climbed toward the final sale price, Torrence told the crowd he was sorry to sell “at half price.” The auctioneer was later asked, “Are you disappointed?” “Yes,” he said. “Are vou surprised?” “Yes” The seller is riding instructor Debbie Craig, who was recently widowed. Torrence told the crowd that Craig could not be present because she is “in the hospital facing surgery for cancer." The auction firm revealed that the top bidder - calling in her bids over the telephone was identified as one Trenita Jackson-Stewart of Virginia Beach. Reached by phone an hour after the sale by the Rappahannock News, Jackson-Stewart said only that she was “not allowed to say anything.” The telephone number appears to be that of a law linn in Virginia Beach. Craig and her husband, Walter, opened Lantern Lane Farm in 1995 to give riders a “fun” place to learn and vacation. Over the years she conducted riding clinics at the farm, provided riding vacations and conducted dressage clinics. In 2005, she and her husband sold the charming 1840s colonial house and 15 acres mid retained 10 acres and built a plantation-style house and a new bam. Craig’s husband died a year ago this month.

Quiz Bowi. From Page A1 points each match. The third-place team finish caps an incredible season for Rappahannock County. In compiling a 26-1 record, the Panthers rolled to their first-ever Group A Bull Run District, Region B and state championships. Being the top small school at last November’s EQUINE Invitational at Auburn High School in Riner, Va., qualified Rappahannock County for a bid to the NAQT. “This season is going to be tough to top,” Rappahannock County head coach David Naser said. “No one can under stand what Quiz Bowl is like unless they are there to The 192-team field featured some of the (top Scholastic Bowl teams in the nation, including tournament champion Charter School of Wilmington, Del., Paul M. Dorman, (S.C.), State College Area, (Pa.), Detroit Catholic, Maggie L. Walker of Richmond, Brindlee Mountain,' (Ala.), Ottaw-a Hills, Ohio, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and Georgetown Day School (D.C.) “We were known before nationals,” Collins said, “but we weren’t famous like those schools. It’s one thing to go to tournaments like Cave Spring or Auburn or to go to states. When you go to a (regional) tournament and play the Maggie Walkers or Georgetown Days, they are the devil you know. It’s another thing to face teams 66 Coming out with a trophy, well, it’s amazing what Rappahannock can do. Brittany Clatterbuck Scholastic Bowl team member at the national level. To face a Bergen County, N.J., or see a Wilmington Charter play, they are the devil that you don’t know.” The Panthers embarked on a campaign to raise the monies needed to take Naser, assistant coach Lanie Vickers and team members Collins, Tyler Crews, Austin Burnett, Steven Nelson, Brittany Clatterbuck and Taylor Light to compete at the national level. The fundraising efforts included hosting two tournaments, one just for community members to play. Several other team members paid their own way to attend the tournament. “It was an amazing experience,” Crews said, “just watching the other teams and seeing how they play” During the two-day tournament, the Panthers played 17 matches. To qualify for Sunday’s 15-team, small schools tournament, a team needed to have at least a 4-6 record on Saturday. Rappahannock County finished 6-4, which also j ALL SUNSCREEN AND SUNLESS TANNERS 20% OFF qualified it for the regular schools tournament. Ottawa Hills, the eventual small school champion, was the only other small school to achieve such a feat. Three of Rappahannock County’s wins on Saturday came on the last question, including a 225-210 victory over Edmond Memorial (Okla.) to clinch a spot in Sunday’s competition. “You have to fight for a win there, so it’s more intense,” Clatterbuck said. The NAQT is different than anything that the Panthers experienced in Virginia High School League play. The 26 questions are much more difficult, and each match is just 18 minutes long. A quick answer to a question earned a team 15 points instead of the regular 10 points. Bonus questions could be worth as many as 30 points. “Some teams were easier to play than others,” Crews said. “There were teams that would get the answer off the first clue consistently.” Joe Vickers added that the reader of each match was most important. “The important thing is to have a good reader,” he said. “You have timed matches, so you want someone who is good but not too slow. ... Some rounds, you could be down 100 to nothing, but the bonuses went in our favor for the win.” Among the readers for two of the Rappahannock County matches was Ken Jennings, the all-time Jeopardy champion. He served as the reader in Russell’s 275-165 victory over Rappahannock County, which ended its quest for a spot in the small schools national title match. “As it turned out, at that point, I was wondering if we were going to make the plane to fly home,” Naser said. “Sunday was much busier than Saturday. We hardly had a break all day.” The Panthers closed out the tournament with the victory over Vernlillion to secure the third-place trophy. “Coming out with a trophy,” Clatterbuck said, “well, it’s amazing what Rappahannock can do.” Your Hometown Choice for AIlYour Personal and Professional Tax & Bookkeeping Needs!

Budget _a_ From Page Al Chappell cautioned in his report to the board that they still “have not received written assurances” for the money. McCarthy recognized County Administrator John McCarthy was recognized for his efforts in shepherding the Scrabble School project through to completion by Scrabble School Preservation Foundation Director Bob Lander. The resolution from the foundation’s Board of Directors expressed, “heartfelt thanks and appreciation” for “administration and management of the contracting process.” Committee renamed At the request of committee members, the supervisors agreed to substitute “Revitalization” for “Development” in the committee’s name to become the Economic Revitalization Advisory Committee. The request was made citing that many in Rappahannock County viewed the development as a pejorative, and that their task was oriented more to leveraging what was already in the county. Roger Welch, who represents the supervisors on the MORE NEWS ONLINE... RappNews.com committee, said they “got off to a good start.” Appointments Jean Lillard of the Hampton District was appointed to the Board of Assessors. She was the only one that had responded to the advertisement for applications published in the newspaper. McCarthy informed the Board that the Board of Assessors must have a minimum of three members. The new board must be seated by January 1, 2010. It was generally agreed that it was a thankless task, and that not many people really wanted to serve in that capacity. No new ads are being placed, but supervisors will be approaching potential candidates individually. Other items Private donations for Rappahannock schools will not be accepted by the county but may be made to the School Board directly. Ken Thompson of Piedmont District was appointed to the county Water Board. Virginia Department of Transportation budget cuts are beginning to have their effects on county roads. Medians are not being mowed except adjacent to the roadway on the major highways (Route 211) and most secondary roads are not having their margins cut at all. Ron Frazier, Jackson District, made the remark: “People say money is the root of all evil, but lack of money is the root of all problems.” The proposed regional jail has run into opposition in other counties. If it goes forward, said McCarthy, it will be a big agenda item in July. A controlled burning permit was briefly debated, but then shelved as setting up a permit system would have significant costs and liabilities that outweigh what was seen as a smaller problem of false alarms on controlled bums.

By Ray B<x: anij Jan Clatterbuck Sp<>ciaJ to the Rappahannock News For city dwellers, Memorial Day may mark the start of summer. But for local folks, it just isn’t summer until the colors of a traveling carnival light up the night sky. The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department held its annual carnival and parade this past weekend. It was a perfect evening for the several hundred viewers that lined Route 522 from the Sperryville Cemetery north to Main Street and then on Route 211 west to the fire hall and carnival grounds. The parade stepped off at 7 p.m., with more than 60 entries participating including fire and rescue equipment from Rappahannock and surrounding counties and as far away as Fairfax County. Other entnes included the Rappahannock County High School Band; a corps of majorettes; community floats; Miss Rappahannock and other contest winners on floats, in convertibles and on fire apparatus; the Rappahannock County Democrats with the state House of Delegate candidate John Lesinski; and the Desperate Horsewives on their mounts. On parade night, the price of admission was only a lawn chair. Little ones squealed and big folks cheered as dozens of gleaming fire and rescue vehicles passed by. Family and friends tailgated, they had picnics, and they socialized in a true spirit of community. After the parade, the carnival was in full swing with several children's rides, games of chance including bingo, and games of skill requiring a good throwing arm. good aim with a water gun, or accurate toss of coins at various pieces of glassware. Burgers, French fries, cotton candy, sumptuous baked desserts, and fried puffy pastries were available for the hungry crowd. For those who stayed home because of threatening weather, the next parade and carnival will be in Amissville on Thursday,June 25 followed a month later by the Flint Hill parade and carnival on Friday Aug. 7. These carnivals are major fundraisers for the volunteer emergency fire and rescue sendees that residents depend on during personal and community emergencies. Once a year, on a summer evening, the local entertainment creates the kind of cherished memories Hollywood can only dream of. ‘Interiors/Exteriors’ exhibit opens at Six Pack Gallery Linda Tarry, "The Mushroom Queen,’ 13” x 7” x 7," broken ceramics and beads The Six Hack Gallery in Washington invites the public to an opening reception on Saturday, June 6 from 2 - 5 p.m. This will be a chance to meet gallery member Linda Tarry and her guest, Jacob Stilley, who will share one room of the gallery for their two-person show, “Interiors/ Exteriors."

In the ease of youngsters, experts generally agree that they should be given the opportunity to attend the funeral of people close to them That goes beyond members of ihe immediate or extended family to include a neighbor or family Iriend. as well as a classmate This recommendation is based on the notion that the reality of the funeral and burial ceremonies is often less troubling than the fantasies held in the minds of children denied the experience.

Neuhaus has a Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago in psychiatric social work and a second Master's in art from Escuola des Artes Visual, Rio de Janaerio, Brazil. This dual training permeates her work. A review published in Americas Magazine, by Adriana Bianco, art critic, states, “In her journey as an artist, Neuhaus has moved from wood sculpture to painting and digital photography, but her vision continues to be faithful to her aesthetic, her minimalist style, and her theme of nature with its ongoing mysteries, the correlation between its signs and its significance” Her earlier work in stone and wood, are remi niscent of the work of Andy Goldsworthy. In the current photography exhibit, “ Luminous Silence," Bianco states: “In the magnolia photos, reminiscent of Georgia O’Keefe’s flowers, beauty emerges from the simple patterns, without technical interventions, close up, where the artist can penetrate the intimacy of the flower and learn its secret. It is the secret of a strange harmony that astonishes us; one that we too often transgress upon, violate, or destroy. “ I hose two petite figures in the woods, Margot and Julie, both giants of creativity, reflected the love and respect that we all have for this county and the harmonious mysteries of nature in an often mysterious cosmos.

The article about the Farmbuver's Club aptly illustrates that concept. The article about Cathal Armstrong from Restaurant Eve, a leader in the local food movement, connects Rappahannock as a source for D.C. metro area chefs for the finest locallyraised products.

Wineries Gadino Cellars goes green Gadino Cellars of Washington, Va., was recently certified as a Green Farm Winery. Virginia Green is the statewide program that works to. reduce the environmental impacts of Virginia's tourism industry. It is a partnership between the Virginia Tourism Corporation and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. The program awards Virginia Green Certification to tourismrelated business such as hotels, restaurants and attractions taking voluntary actions to reduce harmful impacts on the environment. In receiving the certification. Gadino Cellars met the established core activities for Green Attractions and has committed to communicate its activities to its guests. Core Activities apply to both their winery and vineyard operations and include categories such as Recycling and Waste Reduction, Water and Energy Conservation, Styrofoam/disposables minimization and sustainable Vineyard Practices. For more information on the program visit www.virginiagreentravel.org. As an example of its commitment to communicate Green Activities, Gadino Cellars would like to note that buying local Virginia wines is another wonderful Virginia Green Core Activity where everyone can participate. How so you ask? Recently, an article in National Geographic magazine titled “The Toll of Wine” provided the carbon footprint of shipping a bottle of wine from various locations. Not surprisingly, the largest carbon footprint (stated in pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent) is for wine shipped by truck from Napa or other locations on the West Coast to the East Coast. Shipping from places like Australia or Chile by ship also produces high carbon dioxide footprints because of the great distances involved. Hence, by choosing to buy local Virginia wines, you can help to reduce the carbon footprint and thus the negative impact on the environment. Gray Ghost takes 16 medals in California wine competition Gray Ghost Winery in Amissville won 16 medals - two gold medals, seven silver and seven bronze - in six recent California wine competitions. Gray Ghost wines have medaled in each of the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition, the Riverside International and the San Diego International for eight years. Gray Ghost swept the Lodi International held in March taking gold on the Reserve Chardonnay and Adieu, and silver on the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Gewurztraminer. Gray Ghost also swept the San Diego International held in April, winning silver on the Adieu and Reserve Chardonnay. With 10 additional medals awarded in the Monterey International, Riverside International, National Women’s Wine Competition and the Pacific Rim International, Gray Ghost continues to demonstrate that high quality wines can be produced in Virginia from Virginia fruit. The winery is located at 14706 Lee Highway and can be contacted at 540-937-4869.
