He is running against Chris Parrish for the StonewallHawthorne District seat being vacated by longtime Board Chairman Rbbert Ajiderson. Dixon, a Realtor, owns and operates Castle Realty after spending more than 20 years in the copier industry in California. To be closer to east coast-based family, he moved to the county eight years ago wuth his wufe, Mary, and their daughter,, Jaclyn, a freshman at Virginia Tech. As a candidate for supervisor, he says he has three priorities: No new taxes, limited growth in the current commercially zoned areas of the county and cell coverage and broadband Internet access within the county.

Message is same: Support sustainable fanning Rappahannock’s farms on tour this weekend By Lai ra Overstreet Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County will host its first farm tour in nearly 20 years this weekend and the timing couldn’t be better. Sustainable farming, which has come to the forefront of Rappahannock's agricultural way of life, is in the national news almost daily. Last week First Lady Michelle Obama opened the newest Freshfarm Market in Washington, D C., just blocks from the White House. And who was there to greet the First Lady and offer her the freshest organic produce around? Rappahannock County’s own The Farm at Sunnyside located in “Little” Washington. All across America, folks saw the familiar Sunnyside logo as the backdrop for the evening news report that ran nationwide. Supporting sustainable agriculture is the message that Rappahannock’s farmers, vintners and horticulturalists will share with visitors from around the region who are coming to experience and learn from Rappahannock’s stewards of the land. Students from Headwaters Foundation’s Farm-toTable Program, Belle Meade Farm School and Mountain Laurel Montessori Farm School, who represent the future of sustainable farming, will also present informative, hands-on demonstrations and tours throughout the weekend. “We welcome everyone from the county and encour At a Glance • What: Rappahannock Farm Tour • When: Saturday, Sept. 26 and Sunday, Sept 27, 10a.m.-5 pm. • Where: Tour begins at The Community Link in Sperryville. • Admission: $5 per person, ages 16 and older, good for both days. • Supports: Rappahannock Farmland Preservation Program age local residents to invite friends and family from outside the county to come for this uniquely Rappahannock weekend,” said Cliff Miller, honorary chair for the Farm Tour, and owner of Mount Vernon Farm, a leader in producing quality grass-fed beef, lamb and pastured pork.

The town issued a public notice for the newspaper at press time yesterday. It said the county will place a balloon 150feet high on Oct. 1 in the location of the proposed tower so that residents can see where it will rise.'An application for a permit for the tower will be submitted by the county to the town council at its regular meeting on Oct, 14. McCarthy said the new lower is for the county's secondary emergencycommunications system used for pagers and intra-squad communications. Planners to hear Hospice proposal By Dun !> i K.

Page A10 Public House restaurant building may get new look Plans call for quadrupling of space into office building on 4.6 acre Flint Hill site By R<x;kk Piantawisi Rappahannock News Staff Writer A plan to significantly enlarge and convert the former Flint Hill Public House restaurant into professional offices was moved forward by the Rappahannock County {Manning Commission at its regular monthly meeting Sept. 16 at the county courthouse. The commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that a rezoning request, originally granted years ago to Sheila VVolk to operate a restaurant and bed and breakfast on the site, be amended to include professional offices and retail. Wolk, longtime owner of the 4 fiacre Flint Hill property and its schoolhouse-tumed-restaurant, which closed last year, told the commission she has plans to sell it - and an adjacent small residential tract with a house on it which was also recommended by the commission for rezoning to village commercial - to an unnamed company represented at the meeting by John Hanback of JefTersonton. The expansion. Hanback said, would increase the building's total square footage from about 5,000 to more than 19,000, but that includes almost 7,000 square feet of basement for storage and some lab use. Three additions will be added to the rear and right and left sides of the existing structure. Though Hanback said later he See PUBLIC HOUSE, Page A10 Rappanannoc* News biatt Pnoto jar ClatierbucK NEW LOOK?

Tiffany Wayland graduates from Governor’s School Tiffany Wayland of Sperryville graduated from the 2009 Governor's School of Agriculture held at Virginia Tech this summer. Wayland, a junior from Rappahannock County High School, was one of 96 rising junior and senior high school students from across the Commonwealth selected to participate in the month-long summer residential program for gifted students interested in agriculture and natural resources. The program was developed in 2001 to provide hands-on, cutting-edge, scientific, and academic instruction to future leaders and scientists to promote their understanding of the scope, opportunities, and challenges, through academic and scientific rigor of the broad fields of agriculture, human health, natural resources, and veterinary medicine. Students received instruction from Virginia Tech professors in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Natural Resources and the VirginiaMaryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, agricultural education teachers from school divisions around the state joined the school’s faculty. The curriculum was designed specifically to provide a balanced and diverse* learning experience for gifted learners, said Tom Broyles, assistant professor of agricultural and extension education in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and director of the Governor's School. Each student chose from sets of classes concentrating on animal science, natural resources, veterinary medicine, agricultural leadership, plant science, and agricultural economics. Each student was assigned to a “major,” a class made up of about 17 students, based on his or her interests. Students in each major completed the same* specialized course designed to pnivide major-specific instruction and to prepare them to work on a major-specific project. Each major was divided into work groups to undertake a group research project that culminated in a symposium and poster session on the last day of the school. Students also participated in a variety of recreational activities, field trips, and industry tours during the 28 days. The schixil will be held next year, June 27 to July 24 Interested students should contact their high school guidance counselor or Richard Rateau (rrateau@vt.edu), site director for the Governor’s School of Agriculture, at (540) 231-6836. Nationally ranked among the top research institutions of its kind, Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences focuses on the science and business of living systems through learning, discovery, and engagement.

Monday Friday ' -' Member. Aud't Bureau of Circulations —-— www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 Prime Time First Lady Michelle Obama’s nationally-televised visit to a new farmers’ market a few blocks from the White House last week was the latest sign that the local/sustainable farming movement is ready for prime time. The fact that she was seen and photographed at the stand staffed by Rappahannock’s own Farm at Sunnyside, talking tomatoes with farm vegetable manager Emily Cook - brings these issues about as close to home as you can get. Much as it means to the lives of so many in our purposefully still-rural, still-agricultural county, the importance of these issues - sustainable farming, eating local - may not be fully clear to others. What a propitious moment to be having the firstever Rappahannock County Farm Tour this weekend. If you have wondered what mhkes farming “sustainable,” your visit to any - or all - of the 22 participating farms, nurseries and vineyards, or the exhibits and Farmers’ Market at The Link and the screening of “Fresh” on Friday at the high school, will fill this picture in for you in great detail. If you have wondered why “eating local” was important - aside from the obvious health reasons and enormous savings of energy otherwise used to transport food over long distances - you’ll want to check out the region’s ever-growing number of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farms, co-ops, buyers' clubs and see how they make it easier to connect smaller and local farmers with larger pools of consumers. All will have exhibits and information at The Link. Mostly, you can be happy that Americans are coming around to caring more about where and how their food is produced - concerns that directly relate to the “sustainability” of this place we call home.

His long-term business experience provides him with an excellent basis for addressing the economic/unemployment problems in the 15th District As a candidate, he has offered initiatives that address real problems of real people in these difficult times He has advocated tax incentives to farmers and consumers who sell and purchase local products Given the sharp rise in powei rates in Page County and elsewhere, he spearheaded an effort to stem or reduce those increases. John has also addressed the severe increase in joblessness in the 15th District He has formulated a plan to bring up to 1,500 jobs by offering a tax holiday for firms creating 100 or more full-time jobs. His plan would include use of the many vacant industrial and business sites.

Landis Basye, Va. ‘Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it’ As we look forward to the November election, a look back wouldn't be amiss. Since the Great Depression, many improvements to the lives of most of us have been implemented. Affordable power has been brought to rural America Workers' health, safety and wages have been protected from employers who would exploit them. Insurance is provided for savers' bank deposits. Protections, when properly enforced, guard investors from Wall Street greed. Initiatives help ensure clean air and water Food stamps assist low income people and kids in getting an adequate diet in a land of plenty. Medicare and Medicaid offer health protection for many long denied it. Civil rights and voting rights laws correct centuries of injustice All of these measures were sponsored and enacted by a Democratic party concerned with the well-being of ordinary folks, minorities and the less fortunate. Almost all of them were bitterly opposed by a Republican party concerned with the well-being of the rich and powerful. Nothing better illustrates this than the stance .of the Republican party of Virginia An extreme example is the Republican dominated House of Delegates-last refuge of “No." Closer to home, the poster boy of "No" is our own Delegate Todd (filbert When you go to vote, remember: Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

football Highlights RCHS offense not on track in game against Roanoke By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High School head football coach Bob Czekaj did not want to be negative, but he just could not find much good to say about a 24-7 loss Friday night at Roanoke Catholic. “It was one of those nights when the line didn’t block, the running back didn’t non and the tacklers didn’t tackle,” Czekaj said. “We played a very sloppy football game. We were flat, and football has to be played with emotion.” Just a week earlier, the Panthers had a record-setting offensive performance in beating Montcalm (W.Va.) 53-40. They rolled up 600 yards. This time against Roanoke Catholic, the offense just could not get on track. Roanoke Catholic fumbled eight times. Rappahannock County recovered three fumbles, but it could not convert them into scores. The Panthers managed just 100 yards total offense. “We were in this game,” Czekaj pointed out. “We just could not execute.” Roanoke Catholic led, 12-7, at halftime. Czekaj told his players that the second half kickoff would be crucial to the outcome of the game. If the Panthers forced a turnover, they would swing the momentum in their favor, and possibly be able to drive for the go-ahead touchdown. But Roanoke Catholic took that second half kickoff and returned it to the Rappahannock County 15. Although the defense made a nice stand and prevented a score, the Panthers got the ball back deep in their territory and could not mount a successful scoring drive. “Instead of us having the momentum, Roanoke Catholic had it,” Czekaj added. Rappahannock County’s only touchdown came in the first half as Matt Fletcher hit Justin Fitzmorris on a 50-yard bubble screen. But Czekaj said that the scoring pass was botched, too. The pass bounced off Fitzmorris before he could recover and head for the end zone. The most difficult thing for the Panthers to comprehend was that they had the same personnel and game plan against Roanoke Catholic as they did against Montcalm, but could not enjoy the same success. “Like I said, it was a flat, sloppy performance,” Czekaj said. “They were no bigger than us, but they execute, and we didn't.” The Panthers travel Friday night to Southern Garrett (Md.). Volleyball Highlights Lady Panthers’ varsity team brings home one win, one loss By Melissa Weeks Special to the -Rappahannock News Rappahannock high school’s Lady Panthers' varsity volleyball players spent last week on the road. The team brought home one loss and one victory. On Sept. 14, the ladies had a long “one hour and 45 minute bus ride” to East Hardy, W. Va., for a tough five-game match resulting in a 2-3 loss against the Cougars: 25-11, 20-25, 2325. 25-18, and 12-15. Head Coach Jackie Settle reported that the team “played flat and couldn’t seem to get it together mentally in time to get a win.” Overall, they “missed a record high of eight serves total for the match,” she said. When the 18th of September rolled around, the Varsity Panthers were ready for a different kind of game. In a 3-0 sweep, they dominated Wakefield The Plains: 2511, 25-16, and 25-21. Coach Settle described a “team full of energy” that “communicated well...passed very well, and attacked the ball. Everyone had great stats with passing, hitting, and attacks.” Once again, the ladies showed how teamwork brings home the win. Junior Varsity In last Monday’s West Virginia away game. Coach Jimmie Swindler reported that the Junior Varsity Panthers “dropped a close match to an older and very talented East Hardy team.” He reported that even though the girls started with “an early 10-1 lead in the firsl game, the Panthers suffered a few mental lapses and allowed East Hardy back in the game.’ Even with the lapses, JV “kepi it close throughout until the} finally succumbed by a score ol 24-26.” A weaker start to the second game put the girls “in a hole, but they fought their wa> back to make it close, eventually dropping the second game b> a score of 18-25.” Coach Swindler gave the highlights of the game as “flawless scoring by Maddie Kopjanski and Katie Leake, and seven aces on serve b> Kaitlyn Jenkins. The entire team played together as a unit, playing well above their age and experience.” For the week’s final game, the JV team was missing two ol its starting players. Despite the deficit, the girls “took two straight games from Wakefield The Plains ” according to Coach Swindler. Qnce again, the coach was able to commend the young team. They “played well above their age and experience level, showing great promise for the future.” He went on to compliment a stand-out team member: “Haley Hogan showed why she was selected captain, leading the team to victory despite the absence of the two starters and keeping the team chemistry as positive as it has been all season long.” Top stats from the night came from “outstanding serve performances by Katie Leake and Shelby Thornhill, plus a stellar job as a first Recap of the week in athletics at Wakefield By Mike Costello Special to the Rappahannock News Varsity Volleyball The rivalry match was intense but the WCDS Owls dropped a CAC match to Wakefield School of The Plains 3-1 on Sept. 17. The scores were 16-25, 25-22, 10-25 and 6-25. With few overall service errors, the team played hard in game one, aiming from behind to take the second game, only to lose steam in games three and four. We played an exceptionally well organized and mature team who were able to find the holes for several earned points. Isabelle Eastham and Jessica Lester were able to slow them down with six blocks between them. Amanda Carroll's six kills and Jessica's five kills led the defense. We were able to play good volleyball at times but unforced errors and solid play by our opponent shortened the final two games. The team followed up this disappointing loss with a 3-0 win over Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy, a historically domineering team, in a nonconference match. The scores were: 25-18, 25-18 and 25-17. All members of the team contributed to the win. The statistical leaders were Cynthia Rodriguez and Christine Pankowr with 100 percent serving. Suzie Toske and Jessica Lester had six kills apiece. Sarah Hazel was on injured reserve, but expects to play in the Wakefield rematch. Varsity Soccer The team finished last week off with a hard fought 1-1 tie to state-ranked Wakefield School. Ian McCool netted the lone goal. They tied Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy on 9/21, 3-3 in a non-conference match. Ryan Won had two goals and an assist. Brian Shafran had the other goal and an assist. Cooper Weir earned the other assist. The team's record stands at 2-12 overall, 1-0-1 CAC and 1-0-1 in the I)AC. JV Volleyball The JV volleyball team continued its roll with a 2-0 win over rival Wakefield School on 9/17. The scores were 25-16 and 25-18,Our strong serves, several aces and kills lead to an easy victory. Shannon Weir had five aces, two kills; Sonia Mehta had three aces, one kill, one tip; Ashton Yamell had 100 percent serves. Middle School soccer WCDS beat Linton Hall on Friday, Sept. 11, 5-3.

During halftime. Goalie Alex Foster gave a pep talk. ■Teamwork is vital to playing good soccer,” he said. The team took that to heart, playing a stronger second half. St. Joe's scored nothing in the second half while Tim Johnson scored a goal to make the final score: 4-1. The team had a hard fought victory over R-MA in a VMSC contest on Sept. 21.

‘Your taste buds will never forget the first sip’ Chocolate wine pops its cork in the Piedmont Just when I think that this jaded, old palate of mine has tasted everything good there is to taste, I get broad sided writh something so wonderful and so flavor intense, that I could shout from the house tops. Or in the case of Fauquier County i we're horse country, you know), from the barn tops What I'm raving about is a little sleeper wine called "Noche" 'pronounced no-chav* from Cooper Vineyards in Taste OF THE Piedmont Karla Jones Seidita avav Cheesecake g Farms com Louisa.

People had been telling me about this mysterious chocolate wine for months, but I never got around to tasting it. Gimmick-y, I thought. Finally, after dozens of people brought it to my attention, I figured there must be something to it. Noche is chocolate wine. Yes, my dears, chocolate wine. No, not wine to drink with chocolate but chocolate-tasting wine. Now, I know you wine purists out there will be rolling your eyes at me (again) but to both of you I say, Noche will win more wine medals this year than even the creamiest, double oak-y chardonnay from California. Noche means night in Italian, and this gorgeously purple wine is as dark as a starless night. It’s rich and fragrant, but without that ubersweet taste and syrup-y texture that many dessert wines unfortunately possess. Noche is smooth as silk, mildly reminiscent of a wellaged port, although you wouldn't call it a port. Noche could. I suppose, stand in nicely for port when there’s none in the house and you're in the midst of a recipe that calls for port. What Noche calls itself is a sweet, Virginia table wine, but just like I wouldn't call it a port, 1 wouldn’t call it a table wine either, because its alcohol content teeters in at 13.1 percent, much more than table wines typically contain. Whatever it is, Noche is good. Very good In fact, it’s so gold that the first bottle goes down much too easily and much too quickly Noche’s taste is haunting.

Sprinkle crushed almond macaroons over the top. - Cherries Noche Put some dried cherries into a glass jar with a well-fitting lid. Don't fill jar more than half full with cherries to allow for expansion. Cover cherries with Noche, filling jar. Refrigerate at least a week to let the cherries absorb the liquid. Longer is better. Serve over plain cake, ice cream, rice pudding or custard. Keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator.

Gateau Noche Cut a loaf pound cake horizontally (purchased or homemade) into slices about 3/4-inch thick. Soften 16 ounces regular cream cheese. Beat with sugar to taste (about 3 tablespoons, more or less as you like). Add a little milk or cream (about 2 tablespoons or to taste) and whip to a fluffy, spreading consistency. Fold in (choose your favorite combination): 1/4 cup finely chopped candied fruit or 1/4 cup finely chopped, dried figs and 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Put bottom player of cake onto senring dish. Sprinkle generously with Noche. Spread top with cream cheese mixture. Repeat with remaining layers using up all • filling on cut slices. Place top on cake and press down lightly. Refrigerate, lightly wrapped, at least 4 hours. Overnight is better. Slice with serrated knife for serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream, if desired. richly decadent and oh, so sipable. It’s chic and sophisticated without being pretentious. I telephoned Robert Culley, marketing director of Cooper Vineyards, and asked for the whole scoop. “Owner Jeff Cooper got the idea for our chocolate wine after a trip to California where he first tasted chocolate port," he said. Back in Virginia. Cooper let his winemaker experiment with various chocolate essences until a final selection resulted in a perfect pairing with their 100 percent Virginia Norton grapes. “The chocolate essence," Culley continued, “is added after fermentation and just before bottling." It’s great when the bottle is first opened, but like most reds, it’s much better and much smoother after it’s been allowed to breathe. I like Noche best after it’s been opened, recorked and refrigerated for a couple of days. Not exactly how the wine connoisseur's handbook would have you handle wine, but then again, they probably never thought there’d be chocolate wine. Noche, by the way, took the top prize of a gold medal at the Virginia Governor’s Cup wine competition this year. Got questions or local flavor to share?

Plus, Uncle Sam is knocking up to $1,500 off of the installed price*. BUT, don’t delay because the 2009 tax year is quickly coming to a close! Dear Neighbor, Yes, it’s absolutely true. You can actually replace your old (andprobably very inefficient!) furnace and air conditioner (heat pumps also) as a package for up to $2,700 off. Let me explain... F y News headlines about the current economic climate have significantly impacted our industry. Rising fuel costs, unprecedented utility increases and the housing market slowdown certainly haven’t helped either. But, the biggest problem has been an unseasonably cool summer ot 2009. -- My Problem Is Your Opportunity A cool summer means that we did not install all ot the brand new, high-efficient cooling systems that we planned on install ins this summer. I his is Excess Inventory that has to be sold before the winter heating season begins! So, I decided to drastically discount 87 Air Conditioner systems (l also have heat pumps). This way 1 can pav all of my overhead move this excess inventory and insure my technicians stay busy. I refuse to let my technicians (who I have'invested a considerable amount into their training) go home without work. There are brand new, high-efficient models. They are factory-fresh, air conditioners and heat pumps and have a Full factory warranty These systems not only save you money on your utility bills, they come charged with the new environmentallv-friendlv R-410 refrigerant.. Plus, the Federal Government is willing to GIVE YOU up to $1,500 in tax credits to replace your old, unreliable, inefficient system*. In past years the incentive was $500, but now the government has TRIPLED the maximum potential tax credit for installine certain highefficiency units. Why would you wait and miss your portion of Uncle Sam's stimulus package?! There couldn’t be a better time to invest in a new heating and cooling system. In fact, if you don’t act now you may miss your chance to claim this credit on your 2009 taxes. Here’s How You Can Save Thousands By putting these excess air conditioner systems (heat pumps also) together with a matched coil and furnace (or air handler) and discounting the .installed price up to $2,700, 87 homeowners will receive the deal of 2009! A complete system for less than anvone should have a right to pay! : Call Now Just call us at 540-827-4637. She will have one of my Comfort Advisors come out and measure your home (to determine the proper size). The Advisor will show you the normal book price of the air conditioner (heat pump) that fits your home. Then, he will show you the substantial savings on installing a complete system now’. And, it will include all labor and installation materials. Nothing is left out. Don't forget, supply is limited! When these 87 systems are gone, this remarkable offer ends. The Idea is Simple Bv letting you win big now, I will still be able to salvage 2009. I’m betting that if my Comfort Advisor makes you an offer that is “irresistible" (at least it should be if your system is over 8 years old). I will accomplish two things: 1. I will move the excess inventory caused by our unseasonably cool summer. 2. 1 can keep my professional, high trained staff of technicians employed and providing for their families. Don’t Wait In case you hadn t noticed, 2009 is rapidly coming to a close. By installing a qualifying air conditioner and furnace or heat pump now. you can get your tax credit back in a matter of months*. We have all read about the^challenges car buyers have had w ith the “cash’for clunkers” program. Don't wait. Act now while Uncle Sam is still handing out tax credits of up to $1,500 on qualifying equipment. You Can’t Lose It you are not happy with the system I install, we will make any and all modifications to make you happy, even if it means total replacement of the system! YOU CAN’T LOSE! Why This Offer Can't Last You most act now. Here are three reasons why: 1. I am only offering 87 systems. When all of the excess air conditioner (or heat pumps) are sold.that’s it. 2. The 2009 tax year is quickly toming to a close! 3. You are already paying too much in utilities. Each day you wait is more money for the utility companies ad less money in your pocket! A new system can save you $40, $50 or more every month! Just call us at 540-827-4637 and she will set an appointment for your no-obligation survey. Thank you for reading this rather long letter. I hope you will profit greatly because of it. Warmly, Jared Dean PS. Six months from now, this Will probably be the most appreciated opportunity ever extended to homeowners in The Piedmont. Even one of the 87 proud owners will profit greatly from this special! HEATING Always On Timo~.Or You Don't Pay A Dime! 540-827-4637 * Consult your tax advisor. Only applicable to qualified units.

Hospice From Page A1 to build a two-story, residentialstyle center on Royalls Mill Road that would include up to 10 beds, offices, a kitchen, dining room and meeting space for counseling family members of clients. Hospice board membei* Bob Niles and his wife Betty have agreed to donate an agriculturally zoned 14.6-acre site for the center. A center would allow the hospice staff to provide patients a higher-level of care than is available to them in their homes.

Public Hearing • Topic: Proposed hospice care center • When: 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 24 • Where: First-floor meeting room, Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton • Agency: County planning commission • Applicant: Hospice of the Rapidan, Culpeper • Landowners: Bob and Betty Niles attract low-impact businesses, and working creatively to revitalize its village centers. “If we don’t do anything for those villages, in five to 10 years, we’re all going to wonder what happened,” he says. He is asked, in jest, if this i makes him “pro-development.” » “No,” he says. Then he r leans theatrically over tape > recorder on the table between his guest and him “We just have to be more pro-active,” he says. Cell coverage His third priority, Dixon says, is cell coverage and broadband Internet access within the county. “The StonewallHawthome district is very lacking in broadband and cell phone coverage. It’s a large district and we just don’t really have anything.” 66 I truly believe that your direct elected official is a citizen’s most important elected official. And so I do take this campaign, this run, very seriously. Terry Dixon, Stonewall-Hawthorne candidate for the i Rappahannock Board of Supervisors ' and speaks loud and slow. “No. NO. No residential growth." He leans back, grinning, and adds: “We leave the agricultural areas scenic, we keep promoting profitable farming, and food co-ops, and CSAs,” and businesses compatible with the county’s comprehensive plan, which Dixon thinks preserves the area's scenic beauty and agricultural nature with as much foresight as it envisions Rappahannock’s comi mercial districts. Dixon mentions one of the three current applicants for federal stimulus funds, which proposes to build a fiber-optic “backbone” through the county, which he thinks could be used to connect to wireless broadband access points, “which is probably the best solution for this rolling terrain.” “People need to work, they need to take classes, they’re on call, and . . . it’s time we got some high-speed Internet,” he says. Schools Asked about schools, Dixon says: “I think we all need to work harder at being more efficient with the dollars we get, at $13,000 or so per child .... “It’s a small school district, and when you compare a 900-something student population, K through 12, with populations in Fairfax County or Culpeper County or Fauquier, it’s tough to make that call. But I think there’s ways we can work with the School Board to be more efficient in operations.” Finally, asked if anyone should think turnover on the Board of Supervisors after this election would bring about “drastic change,” Dixon says: “I don’t have any plans to do anything... drastic. Just more controls, asking more questions, and - I’ve been managing people since I was 18 — taking those years of experience, and bringing them to the Board of Supervisors. “I truly believe that your direct elected official is a citizen’s most important elected official. And so I do take this campaign, this run, very seriously,” he says. “It's important for people, and unfortunately a lot of people don’t really pay attention to a lot of that stuff. And, really, there’s more effect on an individual’s life by a county official than by virtually anyone else.” products. Hanback said the company would start with closer to 20 employees, but be limited (by septic and parking regulations) to 34. Furthermore, Hanback told the commission, its cement and related “inorganic materials” research — does not deal with hazardous or dangerous substances. “If there was any kind of a problem where we needed fume hoods or anything like that, I would tell you,” Hanback said in response to a question at the meeting. “And there are not. Certainly not.” Comment on the main tract’s rezoning amendment was positive, both from commissioners and two Flint Hill residents who spoke. The only negative public comment came from Flint Hill resident Jean Lillard, who said: “I fully support the amendment for the schoolhouse building and the additions ... but my concern is with the house next door. To me that would be leaking commercial into village residential." MORE NEWS ONLINE... RappNevvs.com “This was advertised,” said commissioner A1 Henry, “and normally when we have an advertisement for rezoning, we get a big outpouring of comment. We only had one or two comments tonight, and not from a person who lives next door or up the street, so I think, in terms of the village of Flint Hill, the neighbors had an opportunity ... to voice their concerns. It appears that the neighbors are okay with this rezoning. . “I’ve always felt this house next door would be uncomfortable as a place to live for someone not connected with the restaurant,” Henry said, adding that the commerciallyzoned house would act as a kind of buffer, or transition, back to the residential area beyond it. “I’m happy to see things happening here,” Henry said. “I think this is something good we can do towards renewal of our villages.” The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the smaller tract’s rezoning be approved by the supervisors - but added a requirement that Wolk submit, before the next supervisors’ meeting Oct 5, a letter agreeing that the converted residential property would no longer share a right-of-way with its neighbors to the north but would only allow access to the house from the main commercial property. The Board of Supervisors will consider the rezoning requests at its Oct. 5 meeting, 7:30 p.m. at the county courthouse. Maazels’ Festival In other action, the commission unanimously recommended a special exception amendment be granted to Playhouse Corporation, operators of the annual summer Castleton Festival for young classical musicians. The amended conditions of the exception would allow the festival to increase the number of attendees on site at any one time from 200 to 400. The festival was put on for the first time this July by Lonn and Dietlinde Maazel’s Chateauville Foundation and by all accounts was a resounding success. The amended exception also explicitly permits festival organizers to erect “temporary' structures” such as the enormous tent where the festival’s largest concerts and operas were performed this year in a horse pasture off of Hope Hill Road. There were no objections to the plan among commissioners, and only positive comments from a few members of the public Anne Pallie, who lives not far from Castleton Farms, called the first festival “wonderful,” and said she and her neighbors had “not one problem” with traffic along Route 729 and elsewhere during the length of the program.

According to Michael Clune, director of Inspiring, [ TfiaiigfitA by i Randy Minter I HANDLING YOUR OWN AFFAIRS It is often said that mi one will take care of your money better than you. The same might be said of an individual's personal affairs. As unsettling as the prospect may be initially, funeral pro-arrangement can actually bring the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your affairs will be taken care of in the exact manner you desire. This includes matters such as what ty pe of service you want, the type of casket, the amount to be spent, and the tone and content of your funeral service. Otherwise, surviving family members may make emotional decisions in a time of bereavement, which results in spending more on a funeral than the deceased would consider to be wise. Should you be considering pre-need planning options regarding the commemoration of your passing, contact us At MOSER FINERAL HOME, we will arrange an initial, confidential consultation and provide you with a wide range of preplanning options based on vour taste, budget and desires Contact us at (540 ) 347-3431.

Keith Rowand, Washington, was in charge of roasting the pig. He prepared it above ground using a motorized spit donated by Sylvie Rowand whose business is Laughing Duck Gardens & Cooker^. With dinner set to be served around 6 p.m, Keith and Doug Exline, another WVFR member met at 6 a.m., at the fire hall to lash the pig onto the spit and haul it out to the outside pit. The pig came from Belle Meade Farm in Sperryville and was pasture-raised using no antibiotics nor growth hormones. “It’s succulent and needs nothing as flavoring: a pig that tastes like a pig, as several people commented,” said Sylvie Rowand. After roasting, the pig needed to be carved properly, Keith Ward, another member provided his butchering expertise to ensure that nothing was wasted. All members brought a. covered dish to share, including chief Ann Spieker baking her well-known moon pies and Jonathan Bankstbn Lincoln Maazel Lorin and Dietlinde Maazel, their children, grand children and their extended family on Castleton Farms mourn the loss of their Father, Grandfather, Friend and Mentor LINCOLN MAAZEL who passed on to his personal Afterland on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at the age of 106.

Bear encounter John MacPherson of the Foster Harris House B&B was driving along Fodderstack Road Tuesday afternoon on his way to pick up his son, Finn, at Wakefield Country Day School. John’s car was up to Fruit Tree Lane when a bear ran out from the woods. John swerved to avoid it but the bear continued on and ran into the passenger side front and rear door of the Nissan Maxima. When John stopped and looked around to see if the bear were injured, he could see it scampering into the hillside. Once at Wakefield, John looked at the outside of his car and saw both the passenger side and rear doors were dented. This was the third bear sighting, he said, in- the past week. A week ago Tuesday while riding bicycles on Harris Hollow Road with his Tour d’Epicure guests, he saw a bear. And a third bear was seen by his wife, Diane, on Hittles Mill Road coming home from Wakefield. Two weeks ago Stella, their yellow lab, chased a bear up one of the pine trees in their backyard. Food Pantry Rappahannock County Schools added Food Pantry information to students’ back-to-school folders according to Kathy Eggers, volunteer coordinator for Plant a Row’ for the Hungry. As a result, the last few weeks have seen a marked increase in new and mostly younger pantry households Last week, the pantry took in 232 lbs. of vegetables, 47 lbs. of fruit. 385 lbs. of canned and boxed food, 2 lbs. of butter, 5 dozen eggs, 12 qts. of milk, and 56 lbs. of pet food. The new owners of the Hillsdale Country Store, Jessica and Jeff Green, with Lisa Foster’s help, schlepped more than 200 lbs. of canned and boxed goods to The Pantry. The Greens plan to reopen Hillsdale in the near future. Taste of Rappahannock didn’t end with the fabulous dinner. The pantry reaped 151 lbs. of turnips, greens, cabbage, eggplant, and radishes — all of which had been decorations for the function. The turnips were a culinary challenge for some recipients. Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington is collecting coffee, tea, and rice for the pantry. Thanks to Denise and Donald Chandler and Susan and Jack Kirby for donating phone cards for pantry users. Thanks also to Chris Doxzen for the vacuum cleaner. PINK HOUSE The infamous PINK HOUSE near Shenandoah Nur'l Park on 5.15 acres awaits sour imagination and labor..

Historical Society’s Antiques Appraisal brings in treasures By John Tole Special to the Rappahannock News It was neither a road show nor a sideshow but those who attended the Rappahannock Historical Society Antiques Appraisal Saturday experienced a jolly good show. Laughter and surprises were in abundance as a cavalcade of treasures, some old, some “wellused,” and some of mysterious origin passed through the auditorium doors at the old Washington School on Mt. Salem Avenue in the town of Washington. Thanks to appraisers Carolyn Butler, Elaine Hawes and Philip Rosemond more than 100 such items were assessed and the owners provided with considerable insights about the value and provenance of their antiques. The pieces evaluated included jewelry, tools, artwork, furniture, pottery, silver, quilts, glassware, china, guns, musical instruments, cameras and toys. Highlights included a beautiful violin, Revolution-era pistols, a magnificent 1877 gold watch, a 19th century painting of Rappahannock resident Emma Fletcher, and some drafting instruments of possible Civil War vintage. Although the emphasis was on information, market prices, for collectibles is always of interest. The articles with the high mmUik M—I ■i.i.Jb.T'girTS__ Gene Fisher carries a huge glass jar to the evaluation tables. est “wow” factor in this regard were a wonderful 1800s vintage portrait of a gentle lady and two very interesting and quite large stoneware crock jugs ($1,600 each - double that, chuckle, if filled with fine old moonshine), Regardless of how each item fared on the trash-to-treasure scale, the smiles carried the day as all participants took away new appreciation for their various articles-de-attic.

Alpaca farm celebrates 10 years with tours this weekend By Jennifer Heyns Special to the Rappahannock News The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association is celebrating its third annual celebration of National Alpaca Farm Days this weekend and Morning Moon Alpacas in Remington is gearing up for the big event. “We’ll have alpaca wares — clothing and yam — as well as spinning, weaving and knitting demonstrations and full farm tours,” said Mike Six, owner of Morning Moon. In addition, the farm’s open house will include wine tastings from 3 Fox Vineyards of Delaplane and some light refreshments. The event, which is taking place at hundreds of alpaca farms across the U.S., is focused on promoting knowledge about alpacas and their wool. “There are currently about 8,000 alpaca farms across the nation and yet many people aren’t aware of what exactly an alpaca is," explained Six. Six noted that he’s had several people ask him if alpacas You’ll Fall for these CodOCash 1200 +*1500 CASHBACK T FEDERAL TAX ON SELECT COMPLETE ^DCniT CARRIER* SYSTEMS VKCL/II c«ienou»ua>a«oiDSYgBiii HURRY1 CALL TODAYS UMTfH)TWEOfFBa Turn to the Experts.

The alpaca, he explained, is a cousin to the camel and llama. They are docile and intelligent creatures which are cherished not only for their great personalities, but for their rich wool. “Alpaca wool is eight to 10 times warmer than sheep’s wool,” he said. “It’s softer than cashmere and is 99 percent hypoallergenic.” Alpaca wool does not itch like other animal hair because it contains no lanolin, which can irritate the skin to the point of making some people very uncomfortable or even experience allergic reactions. Excitement is high at Morning Moon farm. In addition to the tour, the farm will celebrate its 10th anniversary. “We began 10 years ago with just three alpacas: a mother and her baby plus another pregnant female,” said Six. Just this year he and his wife Dianne have had 26 baby alpacas (known as cria) bom on the farm, bringing their total to nearly 100. In reality, the Sixes began with the idea of alpaca fanning about two years before actually establishing Morning Moon. Six explained that he was tiring of the commutes and travel required of him for his engineering job. He longed to work for himself in a business that was more enjoyable, relaxing and allowed him to spend more time with his family. One day Dianne came home with a ball of alpaca yard and told Mike to feel it. It was the softest thing either of them had ever held. In search of more yam, the couple soon discovered an alpaca farm just six miles from their New Baltimore home. After meeting with the owners and seeing the animals, the seed was planted. “We did it right,” said Six, “we didn’t run right out and start buying alpacas. We did Read for Yourself...

Realizing that their threeacre property in New Baltimore would not be enough room to realize their full plan, the couple started looking for a larger plot and finally located the farm in Remington that is now home to Morning Moon Alpacas. When asked why so many alpaca farms have moon in their name Six chuckled and admitted, “We were the .first ones with moon in our name. We were sitting on our deck having breakfast one morning when our son, Dillon, was amazed that there was a full moon in the sky while the sun was out.” Dianne told her son that it was a morning moon and the phrase was forever emblazoned on Dillon’s mind. When the family started coming up with ideas to name the farm, the five-year old brought it up again and the matter was settled. “He’s just great at naming things,” said Six, who explained that Dillon, now 15, is mostly responsible for the names given the alpacas, like a pair of twins named Lucy and Ethel. The Six family invites the public to visit Morning Moon Alpacas this weekend from 1C a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday to take a tour and enjoy the celebration. The farm is located at 11763 Remington Road. Remington 22734. For more information, call (540) 4398704 or visit www.Morning MoonAlpacas com.

Rapp artist tour named one of region's best events By Laura Overstreet Special to Times Community Newspapers Recently voted as one of the Best Events in Virginia's Piedmont Region by readers of Piedmont Virginian magazine, The Artists of Rappahannock Studio & Gallery Tour turns five this year. This two-day, fall getaway event held Nov. 7-8 takes advantage of the beautiful autumn colors in scenic Rappahannock County to set the stage for showcasing the works of more than 50 professional artists. Many of the artists will display and sell their work at their private home studios which are scattered throughout the hills and dales of this scenic rural county. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) sponsors this fundraising event which fosters the arts through community arts-related programs. The Artists of Rappahannock Studio & Gallery Tour takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is $10 per person, which is used to support RAAC's community artsrelated programs. “Rappahannock County is rvejf SATURDAY A SUNDAY OCTOBER 10 A 11 lO AM - 6PM Noble alpacas, apple cider, roasted marshmallows, Full Moon Shop and more...oh my! 9247 Ramay Road • Marshall, Virginia www.alpacalullmoon.com privileged to have some of the finest artists on the Atlantic Coast," said Kevin Adams, president of RAAC, who is also one of the presenting artists. “Our invitation extends to lovers of all types of art throughout the Mid-Atlantic region." The artists participating in the juried festival will display their artwork either in their own studios or in a gallery setting at one of the many professional galleries in Washington, Sperryville and Flint Hill. Seventeen open studios will present a unique opportunity to experience the artist in his or her own creative environment. Some of the artists will be joined by other local artists at the studios. Seven galleries will also showcase a variety of artists and media. The great variety of media includes paintings, sculpture, pottery, glassworks, ironworks, jewelry, textiles, photography, and more. Visitors may pick up a descriptive map of the participating studios and galleries on the tour at the fire hall in Washington, which will be transformed into a gallery during the event, displaying examples of artwork by each artist who is opening his or private studio to the public. "One of the great features of this art tour is that it gives attendees the unique pleasure of visiting artists in their very own studios and seeing their works in progress,” Adams said. "After all, an artist’s studio environment can actually inspire the artistic process. With this studio and gallery tour, RAAC reaches out through the Mid-Atlantic region to introduce many others to the unique beauty of our county, both the natural beauty, and the beauty that has been created by so many local talented artists with regional and national recognition," concluded Adams. The festival can be experienced as a day-long event or a weekend stay. Brochures encourage patronage of local restaurants, retail shops and inns, many of which will plan special promotions or events for that weekend.

"The Smith's commitment to agriculture and their cooperative working relationship with the Buckland Farm Market is intended to keep this farm intact, viable, and productive into the future," according to farm tour literature. Visitors are encouraged to follow directions to Buckland Farm Market, park there, and take the hayride to the farm. One of the county's newest wineries will make its debut on the tour this year.

Culpeper Continued from Page B1 Office in Culpeper will again offer the Culpeper Harvest Days Farm Tour, file two-day event Oct. 3 and 4 will be the 12th annual edition of the farm four. Best of all, it's free. Carl Stafford, county Extension agent, said that since he works so much with local farms, agriculture is something he takes for granted. 1 le realizes, though, that not everyone has that perspective. "This is something where people can get up close with local agriculture,” said Stafford. "It's an open door to go and visit working farms on the tour.” This is the third full year that Stacey Brown, administrative assistant in the economic development office, has been involved with the farm tour. "When you do this you realize what is out there and how farms actually work," she said. "People even come from big cities and from out of state and bring kids who have never seen a real working farm. A lot of people don’t realize what an impact farming has on the local economy.

"When folks talk about local industry, agriculture doesn't always get included,” Sachs said. "But for Culpeper County it's one of the key industries, just as businesses like Continental Teves and Terremark are. The Board of Supervisors sees the farm tour as one way to let people know what's involved with agribusiness and the amount of effort people have to put in to produce food, which we take for granted." "Farmers have a real challenge to be financially solvent in today’s world. The farm tour sends a serious message as to the work involved in a way that's a lfftle lighthearted and fun for visitors," said Stafford who pointed out that farming is “revenue positive" for the county, producing more in benefits than what it costs the county. "You don’t have to educate cows or send cops to break up fights among pigs," Sachs explained. "And the beneficiaries are the homeowners in the county.

"It's definitely a family event They find it to be useful and enjoyable and we get good support from local businesses and individuals so we can provide door prizes and gift certificates." And, said Brown, a lot of private citizens contribute just because they want to support the event ''f armers spend a lot of time getting ready," Brown said. “And sometimes they are surprised by the amount of visitors they get." "Platinum Alpacas was on the tour for the first time last year and they were slammed. They were the most popular farm. By the second dav the owners Manny and (fail Jaume had called neighbors to come over and help them. Manny and Gail held the animals all day so people could touch them They were exhausted, but so happy, by the end of the day. And they were the first to sign up to be on the tour again this year."
