Fine wine! The fruits of volunteer labor VIDAL-ITY: Plastic crates, or lugs, that were filled by volunteers with Vidal Blanc grapes arrive at the crush pad, where they’ll be pressed into juice, and are lifted off by Stephen Horvath, left, and Chris Adams By Roger Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer At 6 a.m on a Saturday along U.3. 211 in central Rappahannock County, there are few passing traffic sounds. This means you can clearly hear roosters in the distance. The sky is just starting to lighten to a pale yellow-blue over the Amissville Volunteer Fire Hall across the highway as a lone driver turns into the Gray Ghost Vineyard driveway and follows it around back to the “crush pad,” the concrete dock where grapes are crushed before the juice is pumped into the big tanks inside. Here at the pad, however, no one can hear roosters - because there’s a full-blown party in progress. Under the bright pad teers in caps, jeans and longsleeved layers, holding coffee cups, donuts, muffins and apples, are chatting loudly, smiling, telling stories, buttering toast and pouring orange juice. Welcome to the Gray Ghost volunteer harvest program. Three times a year for the last 12 years, Gray Ghost’s owners AJ and Cheryl Kellert, along with their daughter lights, more REACHING FRUITION: Al Kellert, co-owner of Gray Ghost Vineyard in Amissville, checks on the progress of his raw materials — Vidal Blanc grapes picked by volunteers — as they head up the elevator ramp into a de-stemming machine and begin their trek toward bottled wine. Amy Payette and son A1 Kellert Jr., will contact up to 75 customers and friends from a pool of almost 1,000 who’ve signed up over the years. They’ll ask each one if they’d like to drive out in the; dark the following Saturday or Sunday morning and pick grapes until about lunchtime. And just about every one of them says, “Yes" • Or “Oh, absolutely,” as one young Arlington woman puts it, asked if she and her mother would be back to do this again after the volunteers had picked, cumulatively, more than 18,000 pounds of Vidal Blanc grapes and were enjoying a lunch of burgers, hot dogs, pasta salad and their choice of wine on the patio. Her mother adds: “This is our sixth or seventh time." Other smaller, familyowned wineries 'and vineyards similarly forgo harvesting machinery and paid workers and rely on volunteers, A1 Kellert says, "but everyone who comes to Gray See WINE, Page A6 Rappahannock News Staff Pr.oio Roger Piantados' Chris Parrish is a candidate for the StonewailHawthorne seat on the Board of Supervisors.

Bom and raised "just over the hill" from his current home at Thornton River Farm m Viewtown. Parrish, 61, says he would use his deep knowledge of the county’s character - and its intrinsic value as a home to both agriculture and beauty - to find creative way's to keep anv oi that from changing. . “Open space, and darkness at night, are both parts of our viewshed," says Parrish, whose farm mostly produces horse hay and cattle. "And ti maintain that, you need to keep it easy to own raw lahd. So I’m a proponent of land use to make it easy to keep that open space.” He says these beliefs, w hich include standing behind the county's comprehensive plan, a!-. make him a proponent of “incentives for easements, conservation easements, to retard (level opment" He and his wife, Caroline, currentlv have 400 acres in conservation easement He also thinks there should be some kind of incentive for “people who wouldn't otherwise qualify for land use. because they don't have the acreage, to help them use their land to grow local produce. You know, buy fresh, buy local’ it's a real movement, and we're in a great location for it,” he says. Parrish mentions, as an example, an article he read not long ago of two counties in the same midwestem state, one of which was deeply in debt and the other healthy and growing The county in debt had “invited the growth, the la;. , tones and whatever The one that was doing wen had given tax breaks to organic fanners, ,->.o had a little organic-farm Mecca there ” On his decision to run, Parrish first says 1 See PARRISH, Page A5 H1N1 (swine) flu vaccine expected within the week By Bill Walsh Rappahannock News Staff Writer H1N1 flu vaccine could be available locally within the next week or so, and initial doses will most likely go to emergency services personnel and health-care providers, Rappahannock County Administrator John W.

The organization’s mission and resources will be on display at its annual meeting on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 3 p.m. at the society building at 328 Gay St., in Washington. The event, to be held rain or shine, will include tours of the facility and museum plus a picnic. Meat, drinks and paper goods will be provided. Please bring a dish to share and a lawn chair. Jean Dwyer Morris and Ruth Dwyer Kiger will present a program on the lives of many families who helped shape the county: names such as Ambrose and Edward Atkins, Bowen, Cornell and Dwyer, along with allied families of Baldwin, Beahm, Bolen, Clatterbuck, Frazier, Johnson, Waters, Woodward and Yates. These folks won’t want to miss this. The society’s first meeting was in the county courthouse; a permanent home was identified when the telephone company offered its old building that had to be moved to make way for a new facility. The brick edifice is one of the oldest structures in the county. It was originally used as an outbuilding for Thom’s Tavern that sat next door and has served many purposes: first county Treasurer’s Office, law office, doctor’s office, girls’ school, telephone exchange, bar to name a few. In 1974, restoration of the foundation, roof and floor helped to preserve the integrity of this wonderful old building. An addition was erected in 2000 to meet increasing need for space. A steady stream of visitors and research requests, such as historical property searches, keep the volunteer force quite busy. Library holdings include family files, birth, death, marriage, and will records for Rappahannock and surroundings counties where many, of our residents found work, married and settled. The museum contains artifacts of the county, some of which are prehistoric, donated by descendants and generous benefactors. The Rappahannock Historical Society is a 501 (c)3 organization relying solely on memberships, donations, sales and grants for income.

Training From Page A1 adjacent 25-acre piece. The farm came complete with a house that has since been converted into an office, a 5/8-mile training racetrack, an indoor riding ring, turn-out paddocks, and stabling for 40-plus horses. Terri Smith, operations manager for the training center, said more stabling is being added, at least of a temporary nature, and a state-of-the-art outdoor show ring, a crosscountry jumping course for three-day horses and steeplechasers, and a polo field complete the facility. All of the additions are for training, Smith stressed last week, not for events. The polo field, for instance, will be for stick-and-ball training, public matches will continue to* be down the road at Great Meadow, she said. Horses will be able to come to Momingside and train for events, potentially world-class events, but neither jumping shows nor dressage nor racing events of any description will be held at the site, Smith said. The only possible exception might be that someone could potentially use the facility, in whole or part, for a day or two to host, say, a small fundraising show in the ring. There are now some 15,000 horses in Fauquier County alone and tens of thousands of others around the state. Nationwide, the equine industry in all its manifestations is a multi-billion endeavor. Yet there is no single training center where equine and human athletes from the different disciplines can come together to train in one facility. “There is not one place like this in the United States today,” Smith said. “The owners and trainers in this sport all have their own stables, their own training facilities. But when they are going to go to...the Olympic games or a big horse show in...New York or California, they don’t have any place to ‘school,’” she noted. All this is being designed. Smith said, with training in mind; this is, she said “part of Mr. Arundel’s long belief in the value of education and, in this Meetings and Notices : . _ . .. . i. • On Thursday, Oct. 1 the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the county courthouse on Gay Street. • On Monday, Oct. 5 the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. for a public hearing at the county courthouse on Gay Street.

Letters High Noon in Afghanistan The war in Afghanistan, which has over the years closely touched many Rappahannock families, must now have a major change of course. If I were now' in President Obama’s position, faced with the strategic decision on America’s role in Afghanistan after nine years, the longest American war in modem times and acknowledging hard lessons learned from defeat of the British Empire and Soviet Army over the past century in that large roadless mountainous country, 1 would soon announce a new strategic decision along this line. I Arthur (Nick) Arundel The United States will now support the people and government of Afghanistan in a determined effort to defeat the common enemy through a counter-insurgency of special forces and weapons in that region Our uniformed forces will be withdrawn on a carefully monitored schedule working with our allies. This I believe to be the best means of politically, militarily and culturally finally winning this long and costly war and bringing peace to the region. As something of a student of history and having been in such war-torn places as a young Marine special forces combat officer attached to the CIA both in the Korean and Vietnam wars and later as a journalist before the United States was finally thrown out of Vietnam, I am entirely convinced that this is the right path to defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and F’akistan I hope- those now close to the president will urge him to take this course of action Arundel, u ho founded TimesCommunity News after pioneering the first all-news radio station in the United States in 1963, was a decorated US.

Farm Tour weekend ‘was a time for education and community’ Last weekend something important happened in our county Twenty three farms, wineries and farm-based school programs welcomed visitors onto their properties and went to significant efforts to educate the visitors about their operations and how and why their products are produced. The sheer variety of participants was inspiring And at The Link, which . housed the starting point of the tour. 24 organizations and vendors offered educational information and products. This was not a weekend focused on sales or competition; it was a time for education and community and that it happened is exciting and encouraging and should be repeated and expanded In November and December last year a conversation began on RappNet about having a tour of Rappahannock farms. That grass roots discussion grew, with I. the support of the county administration and the county agent’s office, to a core group that met frequently for about nine months to guide the recruitment and creation From its inception, the program was voluntary and guided by volunteers. All agricultural operations on the county’s list were invited to participate and ultimately 23 volunteered to participate in what they knew would take extraordinary time and effort on their part Environmental, educational and agricultural groups and willing volunteers joined and gave generously of their time and resources to make the weekend possible. And other complimentary' programs - the Flavor sponsored filming of “Fresh” and the RLEP Homecoming Barn Dance - added to the education and community of the weekend This was a first attempt, one that certainly calls for repetition, and has great promise for being one more way we can come together annually as a community and also educate the larger community to the beauty and richness of our agricultural base As a participant, 1 met many neighbors and learned of the diversity of their farms and vineyards- some of which I did not know existed Unfortunately, 1 did not get to tour these venues but I expect one of the products of the weekend is we will all find time to get to know better the farmers, their products and each other. The commitment of the many volunteers who made this possible is awesome and I have renewed confidence that through them we will fulfill the spirit of our Comprehensive Plan in sustainable ways into the future. You are our greatest asset and I applaud you all.

Commentary & Opinion ‘Thank you Delegate Gilbert for your leadership and ... political courage’ Last week. Democrat John Lesinski criticized our Delegate Todd Gilbert for voting against a state budget that was packed with Obama stimulus dollars. Lesinski has called using these borrowed federal dollars, the bridge to Virginia’s financial future.” I think it is more like that famous monument to government waste—the bridge to nowhere. When Virginia uses borrowed federal money to plug gaps in our budget, the only thing it ensures is that Virginia taxpayers will have bills to pay long into the future. Todd Gilbert believes that the politicians in Richmond should make the hard budget decisions now and not just kick the can down the road. Politicians in Washington and Richmond are spending our tax dollars like drunken sailors; I applaud Delegate Gilbert for telling them enough is enough Thank you Delegate Gilbert for your leadership and for the political courage to stand up against the big spenders who are bankrupting our country. The federal government can only print money for so long before we are all in trouble Virginia should have no part of it. It will be because of leaders like Todd Gilbert that Virginia will avoid the fate of other states like California and New York that are already on the verge of bankruptcy •John Lesinski. who just recently moved to this district from Fairfax, is trying to sell us on the merits of his big-city big-spending world view I ve got news for him: That dog won't hunt in these parts. Marcia Bryan Luray ‘Let’s focus our anger on the ones who caused the mess’ In response to Angela Deavers’ Sept. 24 letter to the editor: If you find yourself in need of assistance from a local worker bee who wears a gun to work, pray that Angela Deavers answers the call. There may be others equally caring and dedicated but it is hard to imagine that anyone could be more so. I share her feelings of anger and frustration. All of us should be angry but let’s focus our anger where it properly belongs. On Jan. 20, 2001 George Bush inherited a budget surplus, booming economy and no wars. Richard Clarke wrote to Condoleezza Rice five days later: “We urgently need such a Principals level review on the al Qaida network." That request was summarily rejected as the new administration bumbled down a path of unprecedented incompetence. Eight years later President Obama inherited two wars, a national debt that had doubled in just eight years, our first budget deficit in excess of a trillion dollars and an economy crashing downward like a lead balloon. Lending had come to a halt. Our most prestigious remaining financial and manufacturing institutions teetered on the verge of collapse threatening to join others already in a pile of dust. Let s focus our anger on the ones who caused the mess. As our sons and daughters were serving four and five tours of duty in Iraq, Virginia Democrat Sen. Jim Webb proposed that active duty troops have at least the same time at home as the length of their previous tour of duty overseas. Time needed to reunite with their families, stem the rising tides of divorce and suicide, repair or replace equipment and receive the latest training. Despite support of 56 senators, a Republican filibuster killed the proposal. Democrats proposed an extra 0 5 percent military pay raise above what President Bush requested last year. Bush threatened to veto even that pittance until it became obvious that his veto could not be sustained Republicans urged us to wear red on Friday Democrats offered real support. That's why one with a military career might support Democrats Let’s focus our anger on those who insult our troops with gimmicks like wearing red on Friday. The first Republican stimulus bill handed individuals up to $600 in tax rebates. Many squandered the windfall as the economy spiraled downward. The last Republican stimulus bill, better known as The Wall Street Bailout, funded multimillion dollar bonuses for the ver> ones who helped create the mes> Republican outrage was silent until the new Democrat stimulus package attempted to restrain outrageous executive pay and bonuses, help those unemployed through no fault of their own, cut taxes for working folks, fund local school projects, offer a lifeline to the American automotive industry and more. Let's focus our anger on bailouts for billionaires. This November we have a choice between those who caused the mess and those offering ideas to clean up the mess. Let s hope we make the right choice John Dile\ Flint Hiil Col. Lesinski has ‘proven record of strong character, impeccable leadership’ ost Virginians, as we wake each IVAmorrung. are not first met with the thought “I'm a Republican” or "I'm politically Independent ” Chances are that our first morning thoughts are the same as those that kept us awake the night before: “What if the price of heating oil goes up this winter?” or “How wall we afford new school clothes for our children9” or “What if I get sick and can't work my hourly-wage job?” I don't know a family >. - Republican or Democrat - who has not been touched by this recession. As we select a new representative for Virginia’s 15th District House seat, those same questions come to mind - not just for ourselves, but also for our neighbors. But when we hear about Todd Gilbert's grandstanding to keep rest areas open, it rings of “let them eat cake!” and the question is then, “How CAN an elected official be MORE out of touch with his constituents?" Like most Virginians were doing personally. Gov. Tim Kaine was onlytightening the state's belt when he asked to have some of the rest areas closed. Now private businesses can benefit from traffic leaving the interstates to avail themselves of refreshments at their establishments. Retired Marine Corps Col. John Lesinski. on the other hand, is addressing practical, common-sense problems that everyday working pei >pie in our depressed area endure. At the same time as the rest area debacle, he contested a proposed rate hike by Allegheny Power, something that could make a huge difference to our working poor. When it comes time to vote, no doubt most Virginians want someone with common sense, leadership experience and integrity. Col. Lesinski has proven those characteristics both in the- Marine Corps and in his private sector endeavors <>ur military doesn't promote a lady or gentleman to the rank of colonel without his or her proven record of strong character, impeccable leadership, top-notch fiscal and personnel management and the most important task of all - taking care of soldiers I know - I'm married to one! Pam Flasch Luray The best choice, the right choice ... is John Lesinski’ On Tuesday. Nov 3 the citizens of Rappahannock County will journey to the polls and choose who will go to Richmond and be their voice in the General Assembly. By any measure, that choice should be Rappahannock's own John Lesinski What are John’s qualifications for such a high office9 Well, for one, John has already had a long career of public service having spent 26 years in the United States Marine Corps, including being called up for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. before retiring with the rank of colonel in 2006 Those years of service to others have given John a true appreciation of this country and this community, plus a lifetime of invaluable experience to bring with him to the House of Delegates. And let my friends on the far right take note, the United States Marines are not exactly known for turning out “liberal activists” What will John Lesinski do in Richmond9 For one thing, he'll stand up to big corporations like Allegheny Power when they want to punish us citizens of Rappahannock with onerous rate increases simply because. we’re too small and too rural. He would support tax incentives and breaks for businesses and industries that relocate to the Shenandoah Valley, an area hard hit by unemployment in the past year due to the recession. Let it be noted that when those hardest hit by the economic downturn needed someone to stand up for them, John’s opponent, incumbent Todd Gilbert, sat down and voted against extending unemployment benefits to those who had lost their jobs, leaving them suddenly with no way to put food on the table or keep a roof over the heads of their loved ones. John would make sure that the commitment Virginia has made to its veterans is honored, something dear to his heart. He would vote to refurbish and upgrade Virginia's railways so that more freight could be sent by rail and ease the tractor trail er congestion on our highways. With John Lesinski in Richmond. Rappahannock will have a delegate who is willing to do the hard work tc make sure the Commonwealth meets its obli gations to education and law^ enforcement as well as to transportation Parrish From Page A1 would never run against Mr. Anderson [Robert Anderson, who decided this year not to run for a sixth term). The county was very lucky to have him, and he did a conscientious and diligent job for 20 years." Now that Anderson is gone, Parrish said, “there’s just a void to fill." Pamsh is running against Realtor and county Republican Committee chairman Terry Dixon of Castleton This is a nonpartisan election. Asked if budget cutbacks and difficult choices ahead made it a tough decision to run, Parrish says: “First of all, well . . I’ve been farming for the last three decades. It's a challenge to make a living off the land. And in my earlier years, I would buy and sell real estate to make ends meet But now I run a profitable farming operation The point of this is to say. I’m a frugal person I would be very, very careful about putting the county in debt." Such as with Amersco’s multi-year performance-contract proposal to make the county school buildings more energy efficient? “I’m getting ready to go up to the school for another tour with Amersco," he says “I’m inherently suspicious of large companies and complicated contracts. And I would rather do the repairs on a pay-as-yougo basis. But, you sep - I PHOTOS RappNews.com mean, it could be that this is the best thing to come down the pike I just have no way of knowing. “The job of a supervisor is a balancing act between the real estate taxes, which is the vast majority of our revenue, and the school budget, which is the majority of our expenditure. So I need education on the school budget, but as far as our revenue, I probably understand the process as well as anybody” Parrish, who is president of the Rappahannock Farm Bureau, also has served on the Rappahannock County Board of Assessments fur every one of its property-tax reassessments - except the one currently underway. Parrish’s son, Isaac, the youngest uf the couply's three children, graduated in June from Rappahannock County High School, and the candidate says he’s been “impressed with what such t small school offered, and with the atmosphere of the school. And I believe that it's the teachers that make the school, and you need to pay them well to keep them " On the other hand, he says, should anyone doubt his frugality: “1 would like to say that, so far, I have spent $70 on my campaign That's $33 I paid for the list of voters, and the rest of it is for these fliers I leave on people's doors that 1 go to visit. And 1 am not accepting any contributions to my campaign." Then, with the same taciturn smile, the candidate mentions his long-ago Army career as a translator and radiointercept specialist and interests and studies since that have taken him to many places around the world, as well as brought degrees from UVA and Virginia Tech f the latter in animal science).

"That.’’ he says, slowly, “is in case anybody doubts that I have stamina or tenacity." And unlike the Republican candidate for governor, John Lesinski believes the government’s business ends at the front door, that every lawabiding citizen's home is his castle and that inside his own four walls he has a God-given right to privacy.

Wine From Page A1 Ghost knows they're going to get the best cookout. and wine, and be treated right.' In fact, this particular Saturday, the volunteers are apparently treated so right - the sunrise breakfast buffet, a second coffee-and-carbs break at 9. free T-shirt, lunch and wine - that they finish picking before 11. an hour earlier than expected. “Seriously, you have been the most wonderful group of harvesters!" says Amy Payette, who is also the winery’s marketing director, standing on a chair to address the volunteers after .collecting the shears and work gloves she'd handed out earlier “You’re not only fast, but you are thorough.

For the bigger crops - the Vidal, Chardonnav and Gray Ghost’s consistently award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon - volunteers are the next best thing to family.

Relea says later the experience was way more than cool “Next time, I think we'll have probably 20 of us here.” The Kellerts were married 38 years ago, not long after a college chemistry professor in Illinois, whose family operated a winery' in Germany, invited A1 out to the countryside to see how the stuff was made — and he was hooked, he says. The Kellerts moved here from Northern Virginia, transplanting the vines they’d started there at home, they produced their first commercial-label wine in 1993 and opened the winery a year later Kellert retired from the Postal Senace and stopped commuting 11 years ago, when he realized he could actually make a living doing something that he completely enjoys. “I love it," he says.

Flu From Page A1 changed two weeks ago, and the state’s problem is now “widespread” rather than “regional.” Local health professionals are preparing for the worst as the possible flu pandemic approaches, including recruiting and training volunteers, contacting retired physicians who might be able to pitch in, developing plans for possible satellite treatment centers and developing other contingency plans for the hospital. One of the biggest fears as the contagion gets closer to the area is illness in the healthcare community, and health care workers top the list of those who will initiate the vaccination program. Part of the problem is the different protocol for returning post-illness health care workers to their jobs. The current recommendation for most of the population is to return to work 24 hours after the non-medicated disappearance of fever. Health-care workers are being told to stay off the job for seven days after the onset of illness; significant illness among health-care workers could cause problems in health care delivery. Flu and You What are the symptoms of the novel H1N1 virus? Symptoms are similar to those of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Who is most at risk from the novel H1N1 virus? • Pregnant women • Those who live with or care for infants less than six months old • Healthcare and emergency services workers • Anyone younger than '24 years old • Those 25-64 with chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems What special steps do I need to take to protect myself and my family? Get the novel H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available. If you have flu symptoms, you should stay home until free of fever and signs of fever for 24 hours without feverreducing drugs.

The JY girls played “well, talking and moving their feet " The result? They found “themselves with a five-point lead and only two points from victory.’ said the coach. Unfortunately, the older East Hardy team rallied and “rattled" the young Rapp team to bring the disappointing Panther loss, 25-27. In the away game, JV Panthers faced the Highland Hawks. Coach Swindler described an initially timid Rapp team playing “against a well-coached and solid hitting” opponent. The girls suffered defeat in the first game by a score of 22-25. However, coach said. “Rapp roared back in the second game” of the match. They took a 10-point lead “en route to a 25-21 victory.” Finally the JV Panthers “again took a large lead in the third and final match on their way to a 15-10 win'The end of the week brought their season record to 5-5. Coach Swindler provided some impressive highlights from the week's play Kaitlyn Jenkins earned 23 serving points, “including nine aces” Shelby Thornhill earned a total of 13 serving points. In the spiking arena, Maddie Kopjanski, Shelby Thornhill. Shelby Burnett, and Katie Leake "contributed some outstanding hits” while Haley Hogan and Lyndie Paul “consistently anchored the team with their steady setting ” Coach Swindler continued to be “impressed by the maturity of the JV squad as they manage to play with far more poise and teamwork than anyone would expect of such a young team." Football coach at a loss for words By Christine Krapf Special to the Rappahannock News A 45-7 loss to Southern Garrett High School left Rappahannock County head football coach Bob Czekaj at a loss for words. “We looked good the first two series," he said, “but what happened after that, I couldn't tell you. From that point on, nothing went right” The Panthers (1-31 could not mount any type of an offensive threat all evening. The defense suffered breakdowns. The situation was not helped by the losses of quarter back Justin Fitzmorris and running back Matt Fletcher to injuries. They are questionable for Friday night’s game against Pope John Paul the Great at Panthers Stadium. Game time is 7 p.m. Without Fitzmorris and Fletcher in the lineup, the Panthers will run the offense by “committee." Czekaj said. The two Rappahannock players also start on defense. “There is nothing that one can say," Czekaj said. “Southern Garrett totally outplayed us."

"It does not matter what the other team does," he said. “It matters what we do. We have to fix what is wrong with us. We cannot have a totally team letdown.

The team had 17 ares and 17 kills.

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 (and probably very inefficient!) furnace arid air conditioner (heat pumps also) as a package for up to $2,700 off. Let me explain... 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 of 2009. Mv Problem Is Your Opportunity A cool summer means that we did not install all of the brand new, high-efficient cooling systems that we planned on installing this summer. This is Excess Inventory that has to be sold before the winter heating season begins! So, I decided to drastically discount 87 Air Conditioner systems (I also have heat pumps). This way I can pay all of my overhead, move this excess inventory and insure my technicians stay busy. I refuse to let my technicians (who 1 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 installing 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 How7 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 anyone 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 By 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. I 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 with 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 If 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. 1 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 coming 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 ONElJHOim HEATING &Allf CONDITIONING™ Always On Time~.Or You Don't Pay A Dime! 540-827-4637 PS.

Last Thursday the pantry served a record number of households: 32 shoppers visited. Pantiy rolls continue to grow. Nine households joined last week bringing total pantry enrollees to more than 170 households. This is obviously both good news and bad news. The pantry is definitely serving a need but it’s unfortunate that such a need exists. Please continue to encourage folks who need the pantry to use it. Last week’s update failed to mention the generous donation of canned and boxed goods brought in by Esther Settle of Settle’s Grocery in Flint Hill. Alert volunteer, Kaye Johnson, caught this oversight and also mentioned that Esther brought in coffee, an item the pantry hasn’t carried but is much desired.

A black and white picture, donated by one such visitor, shows the home in the 1950s featuring a tiny sign that advertises “Rooms for Guests.” The visitor asked that the picture be placed where it hung when his grandparents owned the house, and you can find it there right now, on the front wall, inside the door. Gary and Michelle, then, are continuing an old tradition of hospitality in Heritage House, which sometimes brings excitement, as they have several times hosted At a Glance The 53rd Annual House Tour and Dned flower Sale, sponsored by the women of Trinity Episcopal Church, is Oct. 17 and 18, Three houses will be open to the public, with tickets available at each house, and at Trinity Pansh Hall in Washington where dried flower arrangements will be sold.

The distinct “manor house" look of Heritage House B&B. with its four large columns extending two floors from the front entry to the roof, situated at the comer of Main Street and Piedmont Avenue, is familiar to all in Rappahannock County. However, this landmark house didn't start out looking that way. When, in 1837, Henry Johnson built it for his bride Eliza Ann Grove, it was on the early American cabin scale, a modest, two story frame house, just 16' x 32’. Over the years, it has expanded out the back and on the sides, an upstairs front porch has been added and then dismantled, doors have become windows, and windows have turned into doors. A serious fire left charred beams in the roof and attic area. Each change has somehow been able to improve the property and make it conform to its owners' needs and wants - from the tailor, weaver, and artist who had their shops there, to the comfortable bed and breakfast it is today, with a purported headquarters for Civil War Confederate General Jubal Early in See HERITAGE, Page B6 ON SITE: Russian artist Michael Ombish-Kuznetsov, left, and local artist Kevin Adams, right, paint in the Russian landscape while an unidentified man looks on.

Ballard Gallery in Washington On Oct. 3 a stunning exhibition of paintings by two Russian artists, Michael Ombish-Kuznetsov and Alexander Belaiev wall open at R H Ballard Gallery in Washington. This wall be the first time these artists and their works have been exhibited there. The artists have very different styles and create an interesting juxtaposition. OmbishKuznetsov paints primarily realist oils and acrylics, with explorations into cubism. Belaiev has a more ethereal approach to his subjects using watercolor and oils. Belaiev was bom in Siberia in 1950 From a very young age he was interested in both drawing and painting and from 1971 to 1976 he studied painting and graphics in Omsk. In 1983 he was voted into the National Soviet Artist Union, which made him eligible for government commissions and many other benefits •.allowing him to start working full time as an artist Belaiev works in both w atereolors and oils creating images of cityscapes or crowds of people that possess and generate energy. His work tends more to the abstract, and nature is a jumping off place for his expression. Ombish-Kuznetsov was Alexander Beiaiev. Disturbed Dream.

The Pollack-Krasner Foun Ballard From Page B1 space changes, thus creating suggestions of past and future events. The two artists have received numerous awards and have exhibited widely and both continue to paint in the postSoviet Russia. The works in this exhibition are, however, from the period prior to the collapse of the USSR. The group of work comes to the gallery through local artist Kevin H Adams who, with the support of a not-for-profit Sister City program in place between Minneapolis and Novosibirsk, was invited by the Soviet government to accompany a traveling solo exhibition of his paintings to three cities in the USSR in 1989. The artists, while traveling and exhibiting, hosted him and they became good friends. They, in turn, came to the U.S., with Adams as host. The exhibition is accompanied by a short film by PBS of Adams and the two Russians, in Minnesota, painting and discussing their collaboration, which wall run every day. The exhibition is up through Oct. 25. On Oct. 17 Adams will give a gallery talk on the artwork and his experiences with the two artists. A reception follows. To see more of the work go to rhballard.com. The gallery is open daily from 10 a m. to 6 p.m. Call 675-1411 for information.

Ramsay From Page B1 where Ramsay began a 14-year career as an “art therapist” at a large psychiatric hospital. “I didn’t know what an art therapist was or what I was supposed to do - and my boss didn’t know either - so I invented the job description as I went along and loved it,” he said. “1 started off just encouraging people to draw and paint.

We would all get up and draw together, color together on this big sheet of Kraft paper on a 4 x 8 foot frame. And I got even more skillful on understanding what was being drawn there by the patients as well.” He also developed a new skill based on the very real need to defend himself from the patients, “because we got attacked once in a while.” So he began taking classes in Hapkido, the Korean art of selfdefense, and eventually he left the hospital and began teaching full-time until his retirement. By then, he had begun painting again in his preferred medium of acrylics and developing what are now his abstractions of mostly recognizable landscapes and interiors. “I loved to hike and would come out from my home in Fairfax and hike the Appalachian Trail and places like Harris Hollow. So I knew this area, knew' that I wanted to move out here. I became a member of Middle Street Gallery in the early 1990s and one day in 1998,1 saw an ad in the Rappahannock News for my future home in Harris Hollow, and 1 knew exactly which it was. having hiked past it many, many times,” he said. “What has changed over these 25 years and it continues to change is my aesthetics, what I think is beautiful, or what 1 think is the wray to go about making a picture, or when I think a picture is completed. ON EXHIBIT: Jim Ramsay's abstract painting, Lavender Blue,' is part of his exhibit Oct. 3-31 at Middle Street Gallery in Washington. Ramsay describes “Lavender Blue,” one of the 15 paintings in his October show as “almost the only abstract painting I’ve ever done in my life” and a precursor to what may be his future direction. He says it came to him in a “lucid dream” in which he entered a gallery and saw a beautiful painting, and he remembers saying, “I could do that!” And that has changed just very greatly. “I think my pictures an1 getting more and more abstract. From a painter's point of view, my hand is getting looser, I’m more willing to settle for what looks kind of scribbly rather than very carefully finishing and smoothing the edges,” he said “I always start working from exactly what I see, trying to reproduce what I see, but almost always in making those pictures, I guess, it’s ‘me’ that New to the Market Perfect candidate for Open Space Easement 80 Acres in two 40 ac parcels 80 Acres of mature woodland including the top of Jenkins Mountain near Washington, Va.

And I keep thinking.‘the tree limb goes this way. but if I made it with three branches and made them go this way. then 1 would like that, that would make a nicer picture. And the color over there is green, but'if I make it pink or orange or blue, that would be better” About six months ago, Ramsay said he went through an “epiphany” of sorts: “I was looking at a book of Greek sculpture, those magnificent Greek marbles and bas-relief on the temples, and it occurred to me that as beautiful as they are, they are not the most beautiful, it's just one of many different aesthetics from many different cultures’ Put another way, he says his epiphany was that no culture has the comer on the ultimate aesthetics perfection, “And so now, what I think is beautiful, Constable wouldn’t even look at. He’d just think it was trash and throw it out.” And that realization freed him to “make things that didn’t look like Gainsborough, Constable. and Italian Renaissance paintings. I can make art different from that, and that satisfies me completely" Ramsay describes “Lavender Blue," one of the 15 paintings in his October show as “almost the only abstract painting I’ve ever done in my life" and a precursor to what may be his future direction. He says it came to him in a “lucid dream" in which he entered a gallery and saw a beautiful painting, and he remembers saying, “I could do that1” So he woke up and immediately began a week and a half of feverish painting creating the three* bv four foot abstract painting. “I’ve tried all my life to make abstracts, but before now, 1 never could do them ” Gallery goers can view “Seen Scenes" and make their own judgment about what constitutes “representational" or “abstract" art from Oct. 2 through Oct 31 at Middle Street Gallery.

Gather the last of your harvest and save those seeds Fall is here. Summers splendor is winding down It’s time to take on9 last walk through the garden and collect the last of the tomatoes, peppers and herbs before an unexpected early frost gets them. Your questions this week were about how to quickly squirrel away the last of the harvest. Q. I’ve got tons of green tomatoes. How can I store them without canning? A. Wrap each green tomato (right from the garden without refrigerating, washing or removing the core) individually in a square of newspaper, covering the tomato completely. Make sure each and every tomato is absolutely blemish-free. No mushy, soft spots either. A blemish will rot the entire batch. Place wrapped tomatoes side by side without crushing in a corrugated cardboard box. Close box flaps or invert another box over the tap to make a lid. Stare box in a cool (not cold and not refrigerated), dark place. Your tomatoes will keep until Thanksgiving and with a little luck, until Christmas. As you need them, take a few tomatoes out of the box and unwrap, discarding the newspaper. Let them ripen on a warm, sunny window sill. Don't refrigerate until they are fully ripened. Q. Can I freeze tomatoes? A. Yes! Freezing tomatoes is my favorite way of storing a big batch of ripe tomatoes quickly. They’re not as recipe-friendly as canned tomatoes because the pulp gets tough, but for longcooking recipes like ' soups, stews, chili and pasta sauces, they work just fine. Here's how: Wash the tomatoes. Dram and dry well Cut away any blemishes, but there’s no need to core, peel or chop. Pack tomatoes into freezer bags leaving 1/2 inch head space to allow for expansion. Freeze. (The tomatoes will burst, releasing their juice so lie sure to ase freezer bags and not regular plastic bags. Freezer bags are stronger and wall resist tearing.) When you net*! tomatoes, simple remove them from the bag (along with some of the frozen juice* and thaw in a bowl or drop right into the pot. The ptel and core easily slip off both frozen and thawed fruit Q. Do I really have to blanch vegetables before freezing? It seems like so much work. Onions and green peppers aren’t Taste OF THE Piedmont L Karla Jones Seidita www.Cheesecakef arms.com blanched, so why do 1 have to blanch green beans? A. The purpose of blanching (cooking vegetables in boiling water for a minute or two, then cooling them quickly in cold water) is to extend the freezer life. Tire freezer life of most unblanched produce is 3-4 months. Produce with a high water content, like onions, green peppers and strawberries, lose so much of their texture with blanching that it’s not worth it. Produce with a low water content, like green beans and carrots, take blanching well. Blanching doubles their freezer life to 6-9 months. Do you have to blanch produce? No, not really, but you'll be able to store your garden produce for much longer if you do. Q. What’s better for freezing? Bags or containers? A. I like bags. They’re cheaper. You can pack them full and press out the air, which helps keep colors bright and flavors fresh. Plus, bags can be frozen flat so you can get more into your freezer. Be sure to use freezer bags and not food storage bags. Freezer bags are thicker and stronger. Some brands of freezer bags (like Glad) are tinted blue to protect colors from fading and have thicker, self-seal tops that stay tightly closed when the food expands dunng freezing. These bags cost a little more, but you can usually pick them up cheap at the dollar store. The sandwich-size bag packed full is the perfect meal-size portion for 2-4 people. Q. I want to save seeds for my next year’s garden. What's the best way to do that? A. I’m glad you’re saving seeds. It’s a very important thing hi do, and you’re selectively breeding for the characteristics you want to see in your garden next year. Every gardener has his or her own special way to save seeds, here’s mine: First choose the plant that has the characteristics you like. It may be the height of the plant Chateauville Foundation’s season opens tins weekend On Sunday, Oct 4, at 4 p m., the Chateauville Foundation will present an exceptional young Italian pianist, Alessandro Taverna, at the Castleton Theatre House. This w ill be the foundation's third collaboration with Britain's Keyboard Trust, which has previously brought to Castleton Farms two highly memorable recitals by Alexander Romanovskv in November 2008 and Giuseppe Albanese in May 2009 * Taverna, 25. has had a series of notable competition victories, most recently taking the first prize at the Minnesota International Competition in .July and the bronze medal at the prestigious Leeds Piano Competition in England He will be launching a U S. tour this autumn with his Castleton appearance His program includes Bach's English Suite No. 5, Mendelssohn’s Fantasy, Op 28, Stravinsky’s Three Movements from Petrouchka and virtuoso showpieces of Lizst, Scriabin and Ligeti. Tickets are $40. Further information is available online at http://chateauville.org or by calling the foundation’s box office at 15401 937-4969.

Check the plant’s health, too. The leaves should be well formed without mold or mildew. Pick the perfect plant. You want to replicate those characteristics and eliminate the ones you don’t want. For large seed pods that will dry before they rot (like zinnia blossoms and dill heads ), let the perfect blossom or seed head stay on the plant until it .starts to wilt, then snip it off into a large, brown paper grocery bag. One blossom or seed head contains hundreds of seeds, so what you’re looking for is the perfect seed pod, not an abundance of seed pods. Expect 50-75 percent germination from the amount of seeds you save. Fold over the top of the bag a few times and leave it to dry in a cool, dry place until planting time next spring. I hang my bags of seeds from a pole in my mud room so mice can’t get into the seeds and eat them. For seeds in vegetables that will rot before they dry (like green peppers or cucumbers), I scrape the seeds out of the (again perfect) vegetable and put them (without washing) onto a piece of paper towel to air dry. After a couple of days, I fold up the seeds in the paper towel and put the folded towel into a paper envelope and seal it shut. Never put seeds in a plastic bag or container. They will sprout or worse yet, rot. Most hybrid plants will not yield a true variety if you save the seeds and replant them, but it's fun to give it a try. Some seeds, tomatoes in particular, need to rot a bit in their fruit before drying or they won’t germinate next year. As you get more and more into seed saving, you can read up on different techniques and decide what works best for you. Got questions or local flavor to share?

Heritage From Pag^ B1 between. The Civil War legend has it that Early stayed there on June 10 and 11,1863, while moving his r troops' to Gettysburg. \ The t foyer is warm ancb inviting with two beveled mirrors at the far end and wallpaper of vines and birds. The deep burgundy trim, the,dark blue of the upholstered chairs, and the rich red of the Victorian settee provide a pleashnt^place to read and chat. Alj the original window trim is intact, although two windows have been removed for the gracious portal entry into the dining room Vhere a long cherry table, with tradi- % tional silver candlesticks and * ■■■;■ V’ flowers reminds^ us of days gone by. v Lace bedroom The Lace bedroom - the dining room of the original house - is dramatic and sumptuous, with its ^fintsLge waflpapar and Schumachew fabrics on windows and pillows. Red velvet bed coverings and headboard add to the decor. A marble top washstand and keyhole desk complete the feeling of being surrounded by luxury. Upstairs i%the bedroom named in honor of General Early, painted in a peaceful Williamsburg sage color with the original mantel. Down the hall is a suite with an The buttet yellow suite is furnished with white wicker furniture and flowered uphold stery and the porch provides a private space for reading and enjoying morning coffee and the sunrise. Not open for the tour, but interesting in its own right, are the remains of the slave quarters in the cellar, which had its own entrance, windows and two fireplaces. In the expanded cellar %now is the original hand dug‘well, 17 feet deep, and four feet in diameter. It was originally an outside well but enclosed when the back extension was built. (Yes, it has water in it still, and no, the Schwartzs and ■their guests don’t drink from it!) » Not all the fascinating things about the house are vis* ible. Gary boasts that “for an electrician, this house is a museum.” „ Like most old homes in Rappahannock, the electricity and plumbing are veritable histories of the development •f these utilities. And some current residents remember that one of the first telephone switchboards in the county was in Heritage House. Ice House The old Ice House next door, built in the 1870s, and now the studio of portrait artist Linda Lawler, is open for visitors. Outside, in the back and side gardens, fieldstone beds showcase a colorful perennial garden. The original stables and other outbuildings, pleasant seating areas, and grassy lawn areas afford many places to stroll, and enjoy the sunrises and sunsets in a typical Rappahannock setting. Photo courtesy Heritage House PARLOR: The parlor boasts the original fireplace, hearth and mantel surrounded by much of the 19th century rough plaster troweling and floorboards.
