Aftnr onn AHnein rr an agreement with the Rappahannock County Health Department to administer the inschool vaccines, School Superintendent Robert Chappell told the county School Board at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday that there has been only one confirmed case of H1N1 (swine) flu - at the high school. But both the ele We are treating all suspected flu cases as if they are H1N1. Robert Chappell School Superintendent j uiju iiigii school have had several “suspected" cases since, he said - though these have not been confirmed And, because the H1N1 flu is the most likely cause of flu svmptoms at thi^ point in Virginia, the cases might never be* confirmed. “We are treating all suspected flu cases as if they are H1N1," he said, “and following the CDC 'Centers for Disease Control) and Virginia Health Department guidelines for preventing its spread." These call for quarantining any suspected flu cases at the school until the students (or staff' can be sent home, steps already taken in recent weeks at the elementary school But, Chappell and state health authorities said, confirming the virus as H1N1 is a secondary concern.

Two Board of Supervisors' candidates, Terry Dixon and Tom Junk, were accused this week of bringing partisan politics into a county that has avoided party affiliations in its elections, and for the most part in its political process, for generations. The document that began the uproar was a letter sent in September by local Republican Committee member Walter Longyear to invite supporters to an Apple Harvest Wing Ding See CANDIDATES, Page A10 I Terry Dtxon Torn Junk Play the $5,000 draw down raffle at Lions’ fundraiser Nov. 7 It’s ‘a country-fried cross between a lottery and Deal or No Deal" By Jamks P.

Monday-Friday Member, Audit Bureau of Circulations —, . www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2009 Be aware The American Cancer Society estimates that 192,370 women will be diagnosed with new cases of invasive breast cancer this year. Another 62,280'will learn they have breast cancer in its earliest stage. About 40,170 women will die from the disease in 2009. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Initiated in October 1985, NBCAM was created by the American Academy of Family Physicians, Astra Zeneca Healthcare Foundation, and CancerCare, Inc. in an effort to “fill the information void in public communication about breast cancer” As it enters its 25th year, the NBCAM organization is comprised of several national public service organizations, professional medical associations, and government agencies and works year-round to raise awareness. Its Web site. wwvw.nbcam.org,offers a wealth of information to support women through their individual fights against the disease. And one could successfully argue that they’ve brought breast cancer awareness to the forefront. This month, the National Football League has supported the initiative with players and coaches donning pink gloves, cleats, and hats in an effort to raise awareness. Our own Rappahannock County High School Lady Panther volleyball team is holding a volleyball match On Oct. 22 to promote breast cancer awareness. Team members and attendees will be wearing pink. October also brings innumerable breast cancer walks and. locally, several residents took part in those events, raising money along with awareness as they stepped forward in search of a cure. That so many people are willing to donate their time, energy, and money to the cause is both remarkable and understandable. You'd be hard pressed to find many people who haven’t been touched in one way or another bv breast cancer. It is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. According to the ACS, chances of developing invasive breast cancer at sometime in a woman’s life are about 12 percent. The good news is that awrareness and advances in medicine are making a difference. After increasing for more than 20 years, female breast cancer incidence rates decreased by about 2 percent per year from 1999 to 2006. It is, however, still the second leading cause of cancer death in women, behind lung cancer. Fauquier Hospital is offering free screening mammograms to any woman who has turned or wall turn 40 in 2009, You’ll need a referral from vour doctor and must schedule the appointment before the end of the year. If you celebrate the big 4-0 this year, take advantage of the offer. If you don’t and are due, find the money to have it done. Soak up the educational resources out there. Do self-exams, see your doctor, and have a mammogram. Early detection is a valuable weapon in a battle we hope you'll never have to fight. Out of the attic BEST OF FRIENDS, “The Three Graces” posed for this picture in the early 1900s. From left are Jessie Harris Cox, mother of Dorothy Davis of Washington; Elizabeth Harris DeBergh, grandmother of James V. DeBergh, Jr., and John R. DeBergh, both of Washington; and Mrs. Mayes Dudley Campbell, formerly of Washington and now residing in Newport News with her daughter. The photograph was taken at Pleasant View, home of Mr. and Mrs. James V. DeBergh, Jr. (The photo and caption ran in the Aug. 1,1985 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Photo courtesy of James and Beth DeBergh Letters The county is surrounded by cheesy partisan politics; we hate to see it brought here’ Candidates for the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors have always run as individuals -? never according to political party This year, however, Tom Junk and Tern- Dixon, candidates in the Piedmont and Stonewall-Hawthome districts respectively, have turned their backs on county tradition going back generations, opting instead to run as conservative Republicans. By contrast, Chris Parrish, Dixon’s opponent, also a Republican, is running, not as a member of a political party, but as a neighbor, fanner, conservationist and lifelong resident of this county. Junk’s opponent, Mike Biniek, is running as a farmer and educator. In years past, the political parties of our candidates for Board of Supervisors were never advertised. Their party affiliation didn’t matter then and it shouldn’t matter now. In urging voters to support the straight Republican ticket, Dixon implies that Parrish is not a Republican. Dixon, chairman of the county Republican Committee, knows that this is not true. For years, Parrish served as a Republican electoral board official He was also Rappahannock’s delegate to state Republican conventions. We feel that chairman Dixon’s attempts to further his own candidacy by implying something less than true, hoping that people will think they are voting for a straight Republican ticket, should not provide him the route to his victory. We would like to ask Mr. Junk find Mr. Dixon how state and national political platforms impact local governmental policies? What does the Republican national platform say about our Comprehensive Plan, issues of easement, the School Board; the roof on the high school, spending on the library' or RAWL or the sheriffs vehicles? They don’t. These candidates are advertising their allegiance to the Republican Party instead of to Rappahannock County; this makes us wonder how fairly they will they deal with issues proposed by county residents who are known Democrats or . Independents? Will our Board of Supervisors become as divisive and partisan as Congress or our state legislatures? We can’t afford that — not here. This is a critical election for the county and impacts, not only the residents in Piedmont and Stonewall-Hawthome districts, but every Rappahannock resident. If Junk and Dixon are elected, they will control two-fifths of the votes of our Board of Supervisors, all local laws and regulations — including our zoning laws and the upcoming revision of the Comprehensive Plan. This is not an attack on the Republican Party. We would react the same way if Dixon and Junk were running as Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Whigs, Federalists, or in the Bull Moose Party. The county needs board members who wall support and lead Rappahannock into the future as we face issues that will leave an indelible imprint on our lifestyle and our local environment. County citizens have come here and/or never left here because most of us find that Rappahannock is the best place in the world to live. Let’s keep it that way. The county is surrounded by cheesy partisan politics; we hate to see it brought here. We must do better than that. The future of the county depends on it. Franklin & Esther Schmidt Woodville Our local elections have always been quietly ‘non-partisan’ and we should keep it that way’ It is with growing dismay that I have w atched our local Board of Supervisors’ electoral race deteriorate into partisan politics. Local races in Rappahannock County have, to my recollection, been conducted with the genteel understanding that our county elections are tacitly non-partisan without any need for undue sectarian pressure and/or influence from either side of the political party spectrum It is truly a shame that a “newcomer” of such recent vintage and so little grasp, feels the need to change our Rappahannock ways bv endorsing himself in his capacity as chairman of the Rappahannock Republican Party in a mail campaign In it he blithely ignores the fact that his opponent, Chris Parrish, is also a long time loyal Republican. Terry Dixon seems to have the kind of “take no prisoners” brashness that might be “de rigueur” in Northern Virginia, but here in Rappahannock we can surely do without such slick, heavy handed manipulations. This is in stark contrast to Chris Parrish who is seriously endeavoring to meet, and listen to, every one of his constituents. He must be on his second tour of the county by now. As a lifelong county resident he probably need not exert such efforts, after all most of us know him as a solid county citizen 1 for one, applaud Chris for making the effort to take his “true to Rappahannock County” views to. all who will spare him the time. Our local elections have always been quietly “non-partisan" and we should make every effort to keep it that way — party-sponsored (any party) events, yard signs and the like are not our “local" way. Those of us, who prefer to think for ourselves, see this as a serious “put off" reenforcing the impression that the candidate puts his political affiliation above the business and well-being of Rappahannock County and its citizens. Disclaimer with regard to the current political climate: I am a resident of the -Stonewall-Hawthom District, a Democrat and I am hereby endorsing Chris Parish, a Republican for the elective office on the Board of Supervisors for Rappahannock County. Louise van Dort Woodville I will be voting for Mike Biniek on Nov. 3’ I have enjoyed serving as the supervisor for the Piedmont District for the past three years. It is an important position because the actions and decisions of the Board of Supervisors bear directly on the residents of the county. This is why I will be voting for Mike Biniek on Nov. 3. ■ Mike is a hardw orking farmer, educator. and businessman He understands the importance of a high quality public » school system but he knows it must be run efficiently and cost effectively Mike understands that agriculture and tourism are the drivers of Rappahannock’s economy and he supports the Comprehensive Plan and actions of the Board of Supervisors in this regard. He is also a strong supporter of Rappahannock’s Land Use Taxation program. As a businessman, Mike knows the importance of technology, access to broadband Internet, and cell service for county residents. I believe Mike is open- minded>and good at building consensus. I believe he will be an excellent supervisor for the residents of the Piedmont District.

Stone walls ‘are a huge part of our Rappahannock heritage’ To my Rappahannock friends and neighbors, young and not so young. Please take time during this beautiful season here to notice, photograph, paint, write about or otherwise admire the historic stone structures that pepper the roads and off-roads of our county. These historic stone walls, gate posts, wells, foundations, buildings are a huge part of our Rappahannock heritage. Williamsburg has brick, we have stone, and it is equally, if not more spectacular because of its natural beauty and variety. I encourage you to share information on die stone structures on your property with Judy Tole and her tireless volunteers at the Rappahannock Historical Society. The variety of styles (dry stack vs. mortared for example) and designs are numerous- each very special and very beautiful whether covered in vines and showing wear or standing strong in spite of age. Each of them tells a story of the history of this wonderful place. If you happen to know that someone is planning to destroy one of these pieces of our history, please talk to them about it and encourage them not to, but at the very least try to photograph and document its existence for future generations. There are states, Kentucky for one, that consider it criminal to remove even portions of stone walls from your own property. That’s how important to their history they consider them to be. Perhaps we don’t need to go to that level, but we The reality is that $5 does not cover nurse and staff time’ For 12 years one of my responsibilities as a managed care medical director was to deny the “opportunity for physicians to profit at a staggering level.” - So it is with a certain sense of irony that I write to strongly refute the contention, expressed in the Oct. 8 editorial entitled “Shoot for a Lower Price,” that physicians profit at any level, let alone “at a staggering one,” from the administration of immunizations. The editorial states that nurse and office staff time are the only costs associated with vaccination and that $5 would cover that cost. The reality is that $5 does not cover nurse and staff time, given the costs of salaries and benefits. And there are other costs. To name but a few: office rent and maintenance, information technology, and malpractice insurance. Add to that the interest and principal payments from at least $100,000 in medical school tuition loans. And let us not forget, the physician’s time and expertise in supervising the vaccination program, including assessing the risks and benefits of vaccination for each individual patient. The editorial also ignores a larger issue. The family practitioners, internists and pediatricians who administer the vaccines are the lowest paid physicians and in shortest supply. These primary care physicians are crucial to any healthcare reform effort to improve quality and reduce costs. Finally, the innuendo of the editorial’s last sentence, that a physician would refuse to immunize a child because of parent’s inability to pay, is not worthy of a response. Dr. Thomas G. Storch Sperryville Todd s record as a delegate is so dismal’ A role in local elections has its difficulties. It’s easy to go after prominent candidates you know only through the media. It’s tougher if you know personally the guy you oppose. So it is with Todd Gilbert. While he’s aware I’m a political adversary, he greets me politely. But the issues are so pressing and Todd’s record as a delegate is so dismal that I gladly support his opponent. When Todd puts on his political cap, he’s not so nice. In his first statement about his opponent he wrongly called John Lesinski a liar. He refers * to him as “this guy." This guy, John Lesinski, spent 20-odd years serving his country in the US. Marines, retiring as a colonel. He’s an esteemed business executive and a devoted family man. Is he immune from criticism? No. Has he earned a measure of civility and respect? I think so. He’s not, after all. a criminal defendant. Lesinski has addressed serious issues. He moved to activate a state emergency agency to combat local unemployment. It’s an agency created by Gov. Mark Warner, not, as Todd erroneously claimed, by him and his colleagues. In another bold move, Lesinski proposed a one year income tax holiday for businesses creating at least 100 permanent new jobs, utilizing vacant industrial and manufacturing space. This compares with Todd’s vote to reject millions in national funds to give a hand up to the jobless, money now being used in other states. John Lesinski has also devised a workable plan for a rail system that would cost a fraction of expanding 1-81 without inflicting immense environ mental damage. A career of leadership has equipped Lesinski to put together common sense proposals to deal with real problems that affect us all. .If you would like constructive representation in Richmond that would enhance the House of Delegates, he’s your candidate. If a record distinguished by bills to allow college students to carry weapons on campus is acceptable, and if a “no” vote on every positive proposal is enough, then Todd’s your man. Bob Lowerre Woodstock uesperation is a stinky cologne Over the past few weeks Delegate Todd Gilbert’s Democrat opponent, John Lesinski, has tried to smear Todd with misleading attacks that have no basis in reality. Desperation is a stinky cologne. Since John Lesinksi just moved here from Fairfax two years ago into his $1.2 million estate, I would like to tell him that around here, if you can’t say something honest, it’s best to keep quiet. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Todd Gilbert for his principled, effective leadership in Richmond. Todd was one of only a handful of delegates to vote “NO” to bailing out Virginia's reckless spending habits with so-called federal “stimulus” money. He stood up against burdening our children with a mountain of unsustainable debt that is set to bankrupt this country. Todd has stood firm against new and higher taxes. He has passed legislation to exact harsher punishments on methamphetamine drug dealers as well as illegal aliens. He has upheld our shared traditional family values by co-sponsoring the constitutional amendment that ensures mar III take a principled leader... over a political chameleon’ I wonder how you think you can run for office and never really tell people where you stand on the issues. That’s what John Lesinski is trying to do. Months ago he told newspapers that he wouldn't answer questions about basic issues that are important to the people of this district. He said he would get back to us. We’re still waiting. I suspect Lesinski doesn’t want to reveal his Northern Virginia sensibilities that he brought with him when he moved out here a couple of years ago. He’s speht most of his campaign coming up with gimmicky proposals on “jobs" with numbers pulled out of thin air and without producing a single potential employer or business that is willing to say any of them are a good idea. I would love to know what this gentleman believes about things that are important to me. So far, Lesinski has refused to sign a written pledge that he will not vote to raise my taxes. He has avoided direct questions about whether he would vote to re-instate gay marriage in Virginia. He complained about high electrical bills, but for environmental reasons he opposes building new coal-fired power plants that will ensure a steady source of cheap electricity- tyWe still don’t know his views on our gun rights, on offshore drilling, on education, on traditional values, on stopping illegal aliens from taking Virginia jobs, on lots of things. He even talks about preserving rural culture, but he moved his commercial real estate business out to the valley so that he could profit from turning our family farms into townhouses and shopping centers for his fellow Northern Virginians. I don’t always agree with Delegate Todd Gilbert but at least I always know what he believes. He is a principled, conservative leader who is willing to take a stand on the issues. I'll take a principled leader any day of the week over a political chameleon who is constantly trying to hide his true colors. Abbey Schechtel Woodstock HUES EXPO CENTER ASCI CHANTILLY CCNTTR.

Fall is the time for caring for your lawn Now is the time to take a look at your lawn and prepare for the winter and next spring. The lawns have greened up nicely as the weather has cooled and we have gotten some rain. Most lawns can benefit from a core aerator. This process takes plugs from the lawn and places them on the surface to help to break up compacted soils and allow air to reach the roots. A professional can be hired to come out and do this job, or core aerators are available for rent at some of the places that rent equip Extension Experts Tim Ohlwiler ment in our community. Now can be a good time to add compost to your lawn. A compost application works best if the compost is broken down and crumbly. The compost is then raked in so that there is no more than a total of V* inch of compost on the soil in the lawn. The grass will be showing through. This can help to reduce compaction and add organic matter to soil over time. This would be especially effective in new construction areas. A contractor often takes away the top soil and a homeowner is left with compacted subsoil that is low in nutrients and organic matter. Now can also be a good time to add lime to a lawn where the soil is overly acidic. A soil test will let you know if lime is needed and how much to apply. You can get a soil test done through some local lawn and garden centers and through the Fauquier Extension Office. Most lawns in our area are cool season grasses with a Call TODAY for Special Pricing on Paving! 540.854.5606 • 540.809.3008 Office Chris'Cell mixture of Kentucky blue grass and some type of fescue. These grasses do best in the spring and fall and can look good even through much of the winter. They often go dormant in July or August when it is hot and dry. Now is the time to fertilize cool season grasses. Because nitrogen is mobile or transient in the soil, recommendations are made without taking a soil test. Extension recommends, based on research done through Virginia Tech and Virginia State University, up to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000 square feet of lawn in October and again in November. This means that a homeowner may benefit from applying up to, two pounds of total nitrogen per 1000 square feet. These applications should be about 30 days apart. When purchasing a fertilizer, Virginia Tech soil testing lab usually recommends a turf type fertilizer. This simply means that there is a high percentage of nitrogen and little MORE EVENTS ONLINE...

A turf type fertilizer is usually a slow release fertilizer as well. On a fertilizer bag there are three numbers, for example 25 — 3 — 7. These numbers mean that 25 percent of the bag by weight is nitrogen (N), three percent is potassium (P) and seven percent is phosphorus (K). N P and K are always listed in the same order. The remaining 65 percent of the bag is filler or inert material. If a homeowner had a 15,000 square foot lawn, which is just over one-third of an acre of lawn, and if they wanted to buy the above fertilizer and apply it to their lawn, then they would need 60 total pounds of this turf type fertilizer in the example above to do one application for one pound of nitrogen for 1000 square feet of lawn. Fertilizing in the fall is beneficial for the grass. It helps the grass to develop a strong root system. This will help the grass to be more tol erant of drought and insects next growing season. It is important that turf be fertilized at the proper rate. Over fertilization can cause excess nutrients to end up in ground and surface waters, causing pollution. Putting fertilizers down at the wrong time can also cause problems with pollution, and even be damaging to dormant or drought stressed plants. Fertilizer can be swept from sidewalks and drives to stop it from entering our waters. Over fertilization is also expensive. Take a look at that lawn. Most of our local grasses are cool season. Now is the best time to fertilize Kentucky blue grass and fescue. Now may also be a good time to lime an acidic soil or compost a compacted soil. Fall is also a great time to get the lawn aerated.

Flu Prom Page Al “We are no longer tracking influenza A H1N1 2009 by ‘confirmed’ cases,” said Dr. Dana Bradshaw, medical director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, “since we now believe it to be Svidespread’ in the state” Chappell said the school system’s revised RCPS Pandemic Flu Plan was sent home with students, emailed to parents and posted on the school system’s Web site Tuesday, and permission forms for parents who want their kids to receive the vaccine were also sent home this week. The permission forms are due back next Tuesday, Oct. 20 - and vaccines, according to Chappell, would begin in the schools sometime after that - though he, and Bradshaw, were not sure of the exact timetable. Vaccines for healthcare workers and other first-line responders, a state health department priority, are already arriving and beginning to be administered. School children and pregnant women are not far down that list, Bradshaw said. Superintendent search In other actions, the board heard from a handful of citizens with suggestions for its search for a successor to Chappell, who retires July 1. Those who spoke at a public hearing that preceded the board’s regular meeting Tuesday agreed the school system had improved under Chappell’s helm, but had different ideas on what the next superintendent should focus on. “Your choice of the next superintendent is probably the most important single act this board will take,” said Bill Dietel, a longtime supporter of local schools and such nonprofits as Headwaters, which operates successful programs in Rappahannock schools as the Farm-to-Table agriculture and nutrition courses and NextStep college preparation service. “The most important qualification of a superintendent is to provide academic leadership,” he said. Financial management, buildings and grounds, construction and renovation and budget issues - these are important, also, Dietel said. But they should be delegated to members of what he foresaw as a “first-rate team.” “In a small, rural school district like ours, it is unrealistic to expect a single leader to try to achieve all of your goals,” he said. Awards From Page A1 Supervisors, he quoted: • “Consensus-builder; has worked to make sure that every voice is heard;” • Member of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District Board (’74-’81) • “Unshakable integrity, diligence, and belief in doing his civic duty;” • Member of the Rappahannock River Basin Commission (’97-present); • Member of local Board of Supervisors for 20 years, chair for five; • “Two tour of duty, charter member of RRRC (1973-1983, and 1998-present).” With mention of Anderson’s elected service, it had become apparent who the forthcoming recipient was, and individuals began to applaud, rising to their feet in a standing ovation. “Effective regional planning is about building bridges and working together,” said Walker, “and we are grateful to both for their many meaningful contributions over the years.” The keynote speaker was University of Virginia professor John Quale, who provided an informative and timely presentation on the subject of Highly Energy-Efficient and Affordable Modular Housing Design. Requests for nominations for next year’s 2010 Regional Distinguished Leadership Awards will be sent out next summer. For more details, visit the Regional Commission’s Web site: www.rrregion.org. Raffle From Page A1 The evening’s main event, the draw down raffle, combines the excitement and tension of a TV game shpw with audience participation — sort of a country-fried cross between a lottery and “Deal or No Deal.” In the draw down, each ticket has an assigned number. All 150 numbers are posted on a big board on stage, and as numbers are drawn at random, they are pulled off the board — those folks are the losers. Tension builds as the draw down winds down to the last 10 uncalled numbers. The holders of those 10 numbers are called to sit up on the stage, and that’s where feelings of greed clash with the sentiment of sharing. The 10 finalists may split the grand prize, awarding $500 to each — but only if all 10 agree to that. As the audience hollers “Go for it,” unanimous agreement to share is rare. As additional numbers are pulled, the remaining contestants have more chances to split or go for the whole enchilada. This often continues on ddwn to the last two contestants, who may split $2,500 each or go for “all or nothing.” Last year, the big winners were Walter and Sue Longyear, owners of Fairlea Farm Bed & Breakfast in Washington, and a group of friends who entered under the name “The Sperryville Boys” — who agreed to split the pot at $2,500 each. “That was the second time we won the Rappahannock Lions’ draw down,” said lucky Walt. “Susan and I aren’t members of the Lions Club. But, we support it every way we can because it does so much to help our community. Plus, the draw down dinner is a lot of fun." In addition to the big cash drawing, the evening will feature a series of other raffles, offering donated prizes including: jewelry by Geneva Welch, a llama throw rug, an organic turkey, a Central Coffee Roasters gift basket, an ivory inlaid plaque, and more. Other prizes include gift certificates generously donated by Settle’s Garage, Thornton River Grille, Stonewall Abbey Cafe, Glassworks Gallery, Rappahannock Co-op and others.

Franklin Schmidt is a past chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee. Technically - meaning as registered with the county and state Board of Elections, the folks who print and validate ballots - all four supervisors’ candidates are listed as “Independent” — including Junk’s opponent Mike Biniek and Dixon’s opponent Chris Parrish. “Is it a secret plot9” said Longyear, a county Republican committee member who says the letter amounted to an informal endorsement. “Yes.

Thursday, October 15, 2009 www.rappnews.com When Tomorrow Starts Without Me Kim McKieman read this poem at her son's memorial service Saturday When tnmorrou starts without me. and I'm not then to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you u ouldn t cry, the way you did trelay, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know hou: much you lore me, as much as I love you. And each time you think of me. I know you 'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, that an Angel came and called my nanie. And took me by the hand, and said my place is ready. In heaven far above, and that I have to leave behind. All those I dearly love. But as I turned to.walk away; a tear fell from my eye. For all my life. I'd always thought. I dtdn t want to die. I had so much to live for; so much yet to do. It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. 1 thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while. I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile But then I realized, that this could never be. For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things l might miss come tomorrow. / thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked daten and smiled at me from His great golden throne He saui, “This is eternity, and all I’ve promised yow Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last. And since each day is the same day. There’s no longing for the past Because you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true Though there were times you did some things You knew you shouldn't do. You have been forgiven and now at last you ’re free. So won t you take my hand, and share my life with me So when tomorrow starts without - me, don't think were far apart. For every time you think of me, Tm right there in your heart.

Helping others, even in the smallest manner, is a w as of show ing appreciation for our many blessings. In Matthew 19:21. our Lord commanded. "... go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven." Kven if we don't sell our possessions, when we give, we instantly receive the gift of warmth and establish the kind of spiritual equilibrium that comes from putting others first. How do w e begin?

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan Ciatterbuck INSIDE TRAINING: Leslie Bowen, president of Monticello, and Arthur W. Arundel, publisher of the Rappahannock News, along with Arundel’s lab, Riley, watch horses cantering indoors at Morningside Training Farm’s grand opening Saturday. I RAINING From Page B1 “The new training center,” Arundel told a crowd, “is all about education and love of the horse, this quiet, beautiful, Thoroughbred friend who we share and have such a good time with, and who, with other friends, has led me here today to help build a long future for all who share this great common love of riding and competing with the horse.” r lying nigh For anyone wondering why a red balloon was flying over Little Washington Friday, Oct. 2, it was a test to show the height of a proposed 150-foot public safety tower that Rappahannock County has made application to the Washington Town Council for consideration, according to Richie Burke, Rappahannock County Coordinator, Emergency Management & E-911. The public safety tower is “seriously needed” so that the county’s emergency responders can effectively receive the alert page and voice when their fire and rescue departments are alerted for emergency calls in the county, said Burke. The old tower is over 25 years old and is only 80 feet in height and only a 20 foot section could be safely added to it for a maximum height of 100 feet and that modification really wouldn’t improve the signal that much, he said. The new proposed tower is 150 feet and both the county radio consultant CTA and repair service provider Inspiring Ttwugfits by Randy Minter DEATH IN THE DIGITAL AGE Death may be an eternal matter, but that does not mean that the consumers and funeral service pros iders are immune to cultural and technological influences. Perhaps it is inevitable that, in an ape when increasing numbers »>f people are turning to computer screens for information, funeral directors are increasingly showing their lines of funeral products and services online. The fact is that many consumers have grown more comfortable with being presented with information that they have the ability to review on computer screens. Whether it is a matter of selecting caskets in "virtual showrooms" or writing eulogies and obituaries at a computer keyboard, some see the future of the funeral home industry reflected on the computer screen. *%■ MOSER FUNERAL HOME is pleased to bring you topics of interest.

WtHiam Penn Motorola have agreed that the extra 70 feet in height will allow much better service and communications for emergency service and sheriffs office personnel. “We have some emergency service personnel who are currently missing calls because they aren’t able to receive the alert page and they don’t know there is an emergency requiring a response until well into the emergency” said Burke. In a time when trained emergency service volunteers are in shorter supply than years ago we really can’t afford to have a system that isn’t fully alerting the maximum number of responders in the time of an emergency when someone’s life is at stake, said Burke Birthday wishes Birthday wishes go to Skip Giles and Bill Scoggin of Washington. They celebrated their day on Oct. 4. Also happy wishes go out to my brother, Ray Burke. He celebrated his day on Oct. 9 and to Chris Keyser, who celebrated his special day on Oct. 11.

Visitors will be welcomed not only by Jimmy and his staff, but also by his golden dog, Moses, whose calm demeanor instantly makes you feel right at home. In addition to furniture and accessories, there is an interesting collection of studies of male and female subjects and still lifes. Jimmy selected Sperryville for his business because of the crossroads location and he feels “it is ready to pop " A resident of Rappahannock for five years, Jimmy is a financial services lobb\ist who commutes between Washington and New York during the week. An energetic and garrulous man. Jimmy brings energy and enthusiasm to the growing Sperryville business community. We welcome him and wish him much success. The shop will be open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a m - 6 p m, and by appointment- For information contact Jimmy at 540-987-8623 or at dexterlakeclubantiquesfe'gmail com Pickin’ Party The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary would like to thank everyone who has supported the Pickin’ Parties for the last four years. It has become increasingly difficult to get bands on a regular basis because so many organizations are now holding Pickin’ Parties in the region. Therefore, the auxiliary has decided to cancel the monthly events and, instead, hold a spring and fall “Battle of the Bands.” You will be notified of the spring event so that you can "save the date.” Did you know that... • Thornton River Grille is filling the restaurant and the rooftop and turning out excellent meals every single time. Hollow Bound Bluegrass Band appears on Oct. 17 at Stonewall Abbey, 7-9 p.m. Some 25 photography students with Blue Ridge Photography filled our hills and dales and our restaurants last weekend. They were last seen on assignment, each one carrying a large winter kale, creating tableaux throughout Main Street. Logan McKiernan We join the community in sending our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the McKiernan family at the loss of their son, Logan. Those who knew Logan will hold him in their hearts and minds forever. Hold on to what is good, even if it is a handful of earth. Hold on to uhat you believe, even if it is a tree which stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it is a long way from here. Hold on to life, even when it is easier letting go. Hold on to my hand, even when I have gone away from you. A Pueblo Blessing Quiet bustle Outstanding fall weather brought visitors to our village this past week. On the west end of town, Beech Spring Farm, Antique Emporium along with Bubba’s BBQ, Olde Way Art Center and all the roadside antique and fruit stands all along 211 had a steady stream of customers. Likewise, Main Street had more visitors strolling, shopping and dining than has been seen in ages. There was a quiet and peaceful bustle. One can speculate that increased Shenandoah National Park visitation, the new businesses on Main Street, the county’s increased marketing efforts and the attraction of fall colors drew an increased number of visitors to our village. It was lovely to see the vitality of our little village during this holiday weekend. CFC Farm St HQme Center Premium feed ... manufactured locally and so much more!
