The case is finally "at an end," Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said this week, referring to the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision Sept. 23 to deny the Cloniger defense’s petition for a rehearing of his 2006 first-degree murder conviction and subsequent life sentence. Luke prosecuted Cloniger, who was found guilty of the July 2006 stabbing death of his friend, Edward Carlton Eletcher Jr , m Gid Brown Hollow in a trial that revealed dark tales of violence and betrayal.

According to the latest Virginia State Board of Elections’ campaign finance disclosure forms, required to he filed by candidates across the state Oct 15 for income and expenses through Sept. 30, Rappahannock residents spent more on Democrats ($18,548) than Republican candidates for state office ($13,600). The rest of the $35,204 donated by county residents — $3,056 — was spent on Board of Supervisors' candidates. For the supervisors’ election, a nonpartisan race made somewhat more controversial this year by partisan endorsements, the candidates together collected $4,056 — but only the $3,056 came from local supporters. Another $1,000 in support for candidates Terry7 Dixon and Tom Junk, who received $500 each, came from the 7th District Republican Committee in Richmond Dixon and .Junk were “informally'’ endorsed by the Rappa hannock County Republican Committee (of which Dixon is See CAMPAIGN.

Tower 4a necessary imposition’high above Washington Council votes unanimously for 150-foot tall emergency tower By Rikikr Piantadosj Rappahannock News Staff Writer After spending nearly an hour trying to find a way around it, the Washington Town Council gave the county its blessing on a new, 150-foot tall emergency-communications antenna tower last Wednesday. When it eventually voted on a five-year special use permit enabling Rappahannock ' County to erect a nearby replacement for its existing 90foot-high communications tower beside the county jail, the council’s vote was unanimous But getting to that point, at the council's regular monthly meeting at Town Hall, was hardly as unified a process “'This is an imposition — but it’s a necessary imposition." County Administrator John W McCarthy initially told the council. Most emergency voice communications are handled by an 800-megahertz system the county shares with Fauquier and Culpeper counties, which built the system. McCarthy said. The new tower is hoped to improve the in-county system used mostly to activate tht See COUNCIL. Page A7 ■...S

Volleyball highlights Varsity Lady Panthers, filled with grief, play away games By Melissa Weeks Special to the Rappahannock News In the midst of tremendous grief over the Oct. 4 loss of their friend and classmate, Logan McKieman, the Rappahannock County High School Varsity Lady Panthers endured two weeks filled with travel play and only one home game. In the first full week of October, the ladies succumbed to Clarke County and soundly defeated George Mason at Sports Schedule — Oct. 22 - Oct. 29 Varsity Football Oct. 23 at 7 p.m., Chincoteague High School JV / Varsity Volleyball 6 p.m., & 7:15 p.m. Oct. 20- Strasburg Oct. 22-Clarke County Oct. 29- Madison County Varsity Cross Country Oct. 28-4 p.m., at Bull Run District JP Soccer—Boys MS Tournament- TBA JP Cross Country Final meet is away JP Volleyball Oct. 20 Middle School Tournament 4:30 p.m. Randolph Macon Academy home. In week two, the team suffered defeat at Madison and celebrated victory at Manassas Park. With heavy hearts, on Oct. 6, Rapp traveled to Clarke County. Coach Jackie Settle commented, “I think it was the toughest moment of my coaching career. I had 10, teary-eyed girls in our first huddle looking for comfort and direction... .they dried their tears as best they could and played volleyball the best way they knew how.” Inspiration came from two sources: from the fans, who arrived to show support, and from the homemade tribute ribbons the girls wore in their hair during the game (“R.I.P #20, Logan”). After their 0-3 loss, the team shed many tears, but “they Sports Results Varsity Football Bye week last week Jr. High Football defeated RandolphMacon Academy 20-18 Volleyball defeated by Madison 3-0 JV Volleyball defeated by Madison 2-0 JP Volleyball defeated Mountain View 2-1 JP Soccer defeated Randolph-Macon Academy 5-4 took some comfort knowing that they will see Clarke County on the court again this season,” the coach said. For their only home game in the two weeks’ play, the Panthers were in "... a more stable emotional state.” On Oct. 8, they met the George Mason Mustangs in Rapp territory. In a dominating 3-0 win, “the home crowd had something to cheer about in Logan’s honor,” Coach Settle said. Hanna Kopjanski scored 12 consecutive serving points, while Megan Early “added her superb defense on the back row with four kills on the front row.” Along with Addie Swindler’s 7 kills and Dani Knitter's 9 kills, the team had “something to smile about at the end of a long week,” the coach said. The subsequent week’s play brought mixed results for the traveling Lady Panthers. On Oct. 13, Rapp fell to Madison in a 0-3 match. Illness and inconsistent offense plagued the team. Coach Settle reported, “It seems like ... when one piece of the puzzle is not present or not fully operating, the rest of the puzzle falls through.” Oct. 15 presented a revived team at Manassas Park. The ladies “swept MP without much effort” and celebrated a 3-0 win. Coach Settle added, “We are gearing up for an upcoming critical week.” This week will determine Rapp’s placement in the district.

After a slow first game of 14-25, the “second game was all Rapp ” Coach said that “the girls talked to each other, moved their feet, and never looked back en route to a strong 25-17” win. In the tie-breaking game, “Rapp jumped out to an early lead” but lost 12-15. “Once again, inexperience was a factor” as they “let themselves get rattled by an older team,” said the coach. Despite the loss, there were several strong Panther performances. The Paul sisters shined in the serving arena: Lyndie had “a perfect 8 for 8 evening” and Paige had “a 10 for 11 night.” Starter Shelby Burnett also “played an excellent game ... with some heads-up play on defense and some timely hitting,” the coach said. Rapp hosted the George Mason Mustangs on Oct. 8 and the “JV Vclleyballers dominated the contest from start to finish, sweeping the ‘Stangs in two straight by scores of 25-11 and 25-12, said the coach. Initially, the young team fell behind, but Maddie Kopjanski served 11 consecutive points. Coach Swindler said. “Rapp never looked back ” Once again, Shelby Burnett “turned m an excellent game” as a front-line starter, and Kaitlyn Jenkins “delivert'd some masterful hits " On Oct. 13, JV Panthers “faced top-ranked and undefeated Madison County ... and quickly found out why the Mountaineers are atop the Bull Rim District." Coach Swindler credited Madison’s “strong serving, powerful hitting and spirited defense” in Rapp’s loss of the match. He reported, “Madison was hitting on all their cylinders and Rapp was hitting on none ” Rapp JV got back “on the winning track” against Manassas Park on Oct 15. In a close first game, the girls “played well but could never quite take a large lead ” They won with a scon- of 25-23. Game two posted “a radical ly different lineup of players who had not started this year." Coach Swindler admired his team's “strong effort" that landed the Panthers a 25 19 victory Stand-out players of the match were Lvndie and Paige Paul, Kaitlyn Jenkins, and Peyton Bailey in her first game back from a severe knee injury. Haley Hogan and Lyndie Paul displayed excellent setting games, while Kaitlyn Jenkins racked up “some outstanding kills.” Coach was “very pleased with the win” and the contributions of every team member The team is back to the 500 mark w ith an 8-8 record. Rappahannock Varsity and JV have two home games this week Both games are re-matches against Strasburg and Clarke County. Its an important week for the Panthers in the Bull Run District.

Monday-Friday _— CAC Member. Audit Bureau of Circulations ——.■■■..■ - www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2009 Pick ’em Whether Bob McDonnell or Creigh Deeds earns the voters’ trust in 12 days will, no doubt, depend on how closely those Virginia residents align with their favorite’s views on a number of issues — jobs, the environment, education. But it is not going too far out on a limb to suggest that the candidate who takes the northern Piedmont vote will have struck the most resonant chord when it comes to transportation. We commute. We sit in traffic and stew. Driving in the general direction of the District is our own daily form of urban warfare. We need help. More’s the shame, it is easier to take potshots at both candidates' plans than it is to rally behind them. Republican McDonnell has proposed a number of options he says will create more transportation dollars, including using royalties from offshore oil drilling, selling about 330 state-run liquor stores, adding tolls on Interstates 85 and 95, setting aside a portion of sales tax collections in Northern Virginia, and using some general fund dollars. The overwhelming complaint about the plan is that it doesn’t come up with any new money to satisfy the insatiable and growing appetites for dollars that characterizes both Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. Beyond that, the sale of ABC stores, critics contend, is particularly short-sighted, since they would fetch about $500 million if sold, a sale that would result in a $100 million annual revenue loss. Deeds’ critics say he has no plan. All he has is a plan to come up with a plan. They have a point. He wants to put a bipartisan commission under lock and key, paroled only when they come up with a proposal that could pass the General Assembly. Some wags suggest that that amounts to a life sentence. The Democrat says that nothing is off the table when it comes to transportation funding, though robbing from the general fund has apparently been swept aside. What is squarely on the table, what takes up most of thejable, in fact, is a tax increase, likely a gas tax, to provide the $1 billion or so in new money that Virginia roads minimally require. In this economy, no one — no one who wants to be elected, at any rate — wants to raise taxes, not even a candidate whose opponent accuses him of being in the mold of the classic tax-and-spend Democrat. Deeds has variously suggested that a viable transportation plan might include business tax credits for telecommuting employees and flextime scheduling. We re not sure anyone ought to really be advocating for tax cuts such as this in this economic climate, either. “Neither candidate is addressing sustainable, longterm funding for transportation,” complains Richard McDonough, past president of the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance, according to a report in The Washington Post. He's right But even the gas tax that gets McDonough’s support doesn’t address those concerns sufficiently. Either Bob McDonnell or Creigh Deeds is going to be our next governor come January, and the transportation fixes that they have been touting for months during this long and arduous campaign are going to play a big part in which one it is. Both continue to embrace the idea of throwing more and more asphalt at our transportation problems. That’s a solution that no longer works. Neither candidate seems particularly cognizant of that, or, if they are, particularly willing to address what it means. That has something to do with getting elected, we suppose. American voters, Virginians among them, don’t particularly cotton to candidates telling them things they don’t want to hear. While the Rappahannock News normally recommends a choice in statewide elections, in view of differences with several important positions of both gubernatorial candidates, we have chosen not to indicate a preference. The only endorsement we will make is the importance of turning out to vote in an election that has become of such importance this year to Virginia, and, politically, to the rest of the country. Out of the attic Thomas Lee III has a booming pumpkin business on U. S. 522, and a spiel for his customers to go along with it: “One to four dollars. You give me the money- you’ve got yourself a pumpkin." (The photo and caption ran in the Oct. 19,1989 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Rappahannock News Photo/Cindy Mahan Letters ‘I hope my Republican friends will think carefully before we politicize Rappahannock County’ About two weeks ago, I received a letter from Walter Longyear, a member of the Rappahannock County Republican Committee, that solicited funds for “the Republican team ” This team included three Republicans running for state office .and two candidate's running for supervisor in Rappahannock County. I was quite concerned, and called Mr. Longyear to tell him that 1 believe that nothing good could come out of trying to involve the two national political par ties in Rappahannock elections 1 let him know how concerned my wife and I are, and asked him to remove our names from the county group We want to keep county elections non-partisan. We are voting for Republicans at the state level, but are not supporting Tom -Junk, who is the candidate for supervisor in our district. We have been involved and have followed — with interest — the activities of the School Board for the last four years, and have been alarmed at Mr. Junk’s constant attacks on every aspect of the school system including Board members and school administrators. We are very proud of the excellence of our school system and want to build on that excellence. Bob Chappell and others like him have brought our schools to this level, and we must continue to support their leadership My concerns extend to the entire county. 1 am particularly concerned about a rumor I have heard that Junk said in a meeting that if we couldn't get any reduction of taxes with what we have now that perhaps we should look at Land Use. We love Rappahannock and are pleased that it is Number One in many ways. It seems that Junk is satisfied to have our county be second, third, fourth or fifth - whichever is the cheapest. I hope my Republican friends wall think carefully before we politicize Rappahannock County. Gray Armistead SperryviUe ‘I believe Messrs. Dixon and Junk will help usher in a new era of accountability .. I was amused at the orchestrated letters in the most recent edition of the Rappahannock News decrying the introduction of “partisan politics' into our local elec tions. What a surprise - the two Board of Supervisors’ candidates with the most fiscally responsible views happen to be Republican! Sound management of our county’s resources is one of the most important attributes required of our public servants. I believe Messrs Dixon and Junk will help usher in a new era of accountability and fiscal responsibility that will beneficially serve all of the citizens of our county regardless of party affiliation Jeffrey E. Knight Washington Mike Biniek ‘will bring to our BOS a constructive approach to issues’ Mike Biniek has the right qualifications to represent us, the Piedmont District folks, on our Board of Supervisors. He is a hard-working farmer, with a successful business. He will bring to our BOS a constructive approach to issues and the ability to reason and to forge a consensus. Ho is concerned for the homeowner and the business owner and recognizes the need for fiscal restraint in these difficult economic times I plan to veto on Nov. 3 for Mike Biniek to be our next Piedmont District supervisor. Monira Rifaat Manor Farm, Washington Tom Junk makes our community a better place’ I have known Tom Junk for the past nine years. It was Tom that introduced me to Pete Estes when I first considered moving our enterprise to Rappahannock County. Tom and Pete were a big part of the reason our business is here today Tom is one of the most goodhearted, neighborly and kind individuals I have ever met. His spirit of service is inspirational Whether it is volunteering for the Boy Scouts, his years (12 > of sendee on the Rappahannock County Planning Commission or helping out a neighbor, a friend or a stray animal, this is a man of canng and compassion — he makes our community a better place. Most importantly Tom knows this county and he has spent the time to follow the issues that come before the Board of Supervisors. Hus work with the “Concerned Taxpayers" has lent a needed ear to those facing seemingly endless tax increases. We all want value for our tax dollars. Don’t we want someone to stand up and ask fur accountability? We have had a great Board of Supervisors over the years With Tom Junk on the board I fee) we are adding a sharp eye and a sharp pencil, and 1 am certain that he will always put the interests of the citizens of this great county first Rick Wa.smund Sperryville ‘I support Mike Biniek and Chris Parrish to be our new supervisors’ With our now Board of Supervisors, we need to maintain the traditions and open spaces that make Rappahannock County so special We also must do this economically and efficiently, especially in the current national environment. To this end, support Mike Biniek and Chns Parrish to lie our new supervisors. Both are special people. Foremost, they are farmers who appreciate the land As farmers, in the current economy, they have had to work hard to manage their operations in an effective, costconscious manner. These are attributes which are important to managing the county’s business. Further, Chris has for years shown his commitment to the county in working in various volunteer government positions. Mike, in addition to farming, has been involved in education, again working within budgetary constraints. Through the school on his property and his active partici pation in summer camp activities, he has demonstrated his understanding of the needs of our children Tht*se are two good men who love Rappahannock County and will work hard on behalf of all of us. Please vote for them on election day. Stewart Willis Sperryville ‘I believe Terry will make a great Rappahannock County supervisor’ Ah a Stonewall-Hawthome resident and a local minister, I'm writing to offer a different perspective of my friend, Terry Dixon, candidate for supervisor. For several years Terry has ministered to inmates at the Rappahannock County Jail, leading Sunday afternoon worship services Often Terry goes beyond this call in his life to attend to various inmates’ needs About seven years ago Terry was instrumental in founding, then promoting, an early morning worship service at our church in Sperryville to complement the traditional service there. Terry’s heartfelt concern for and the folks of Rappahannock and his deep desire to serve them has always been obvious to me. In addition, his professional background makes him a shoo-in for public office Terry has been an independent business entrepreneur, a successful Fortune 500 employee and, most recently, a local real estate agent Terry knows how to manage budgets and make positive things happen. Terry’s a pragmatic, highenergy, "let’s roll up our shirtsleeves and get to work" kind of person He is exceptional at everything he does Terry also is a devoted husband and father, an animal lover, conservationist and sportsman. I believe Terry will make a great Rappahannock County supervisor. Rev. Jon Heddleaton Sperryville More Letters, Page A5

‘Elect Terry Dixon - he will serve you, his neighbors and the county well’ I met Terry Dixon back in 2004. At that time a small group of six or seven Christian businessmen from the area were meeting once a week to share fellowship and give thanks for our many blessings. You see we were all at risk. We were all self-employed businessmen. While we never really talked about politics we did talk about values, business practices and local government and that is why I am writing this letter. Terry caught on very quickly. I have watched him and his family grow in Rappahannock County. Terry Dixon has done some things to benefit his community that people may not know. He has supported local businesses. He attends a local church. He has had a jailhouse ministry, where he went to the Rappahannock County Jail to encourage others. He has been a leader to children in need of encouragement and mentoring. Yes, he did join the local Republicans and took on a leadership role. He has built businesses and sold them and he currently runs his own business. You will find him to be a very capable person. He has learned local customs from his neighbors, gar deners, local farmers - both planters and cattlemen - hunters and families. He has great respect for following the rules. Terry taught my boys respect for firearms and how to properly handle them. While they had a blast shooting Terry always made it clear that there were rules of safety to follow and he kindly showed them how. Terry has grown to love Rappahannock County as so many others who find themselves as transplants here. And while I do not live in the county, I did get married here in 1985 down by the creek at my father-in-law’s farm, “Meadow Grove.” My wife grew up in the county and both of our family's heritage, includes many local and familiar names that have become part of the fabric of this county. Elect Terry Dixon. Let him become your new addition to the fabric of the community He will serve you, his neighbors and the county well. When you look back at this election in a few months or a few decades, you will be pleased for having elected Terry Dixon your supervisor John Marshall Cheatwood Warrenton Rappahannock County needs Terry Dixon on the Board of Supervisors’ It was astonishing to see the letters to the editor attacking Terry Dixon in the Oct. 15, issue of the Rappahannock News. Especially disconcerting was the accusation that Mr. Dixon is a “newcomer” and has “so little grasp” on the “genteel” traditions of “non-partisanship” in Rappahannock County. Perhaps the writers of these anti-Dixon screeds should be reminded that John Lesinski, their candidate for the House of Delegates 15th District has lived in the county for two years while Mr. Dixon has lived and worked in the county since early 2002. Unfortunately, I am a resident of the Hampton District where I am well served and represented by Bryant Lee, however Terry Dixon is a friend of mine, and a brother in Christ, so I have spent time with Terry discussing the issues facing Rappahannock County and his plans for addressing these multiple issues. What about real-estate taxes that have doubled in the past eight years? How does that affect residents countywide, especially those on a fixed-income? The plight of small businesses in commercially zoned areas that continue to fail in the county? Rappahannock County is located in the shadow of our Nation’s Capital as well as numerous information technology and communications firms in the Tysons-Dulles Corridor, yet our residents, students and small businesses have no access to broadband, DSL. high-speed Internet service or basic, reliable cell phone service. Even the land lines in the county are exceedingly unreliable. There have been three outages in the past 72 hours at my home. These are not partisan issues and Terry will firmly address these issues. When I suggested that perhaps this department in the county or that program in the county could use additional funding I received a polite and wellintended rebuke from Terry. His reply was “it is not an issue of needing additional funding; the issue is how wisely the county is spending the money it currently has in its coffers. Terry believes the job of a county supervisor is to be “a watchman on the wall” parsi moniously overseeing the expenditures of the county residents tax dollars as well as making Rappahannock County a great place to work and live, while adhering to the Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan. If you have not had the chance to meet or visit with Terry, make plans to do so. He has a keen sense of humor and always has the time and interest to listen and honestly try to answer difficult questions. He is an avid sportsman and can best be described by the Law of the Scouts: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful. Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Cheerful, Thrifty, Clean, and Reverent Rappahannock County needs Terry Dixon on the Board of Supervisors. Indeed, Terry is the '‘realdeal” and “the genuine item” for Rappahannock County Paul Hagstrom Washington ‘Who cares what some energized nut from over the mountains thinks’ For the life of me, I do not understand why the Rappahannock News prints political letters from people in other counties as if they were important to Rappahannock. Who cares what some energized nut from over the mountains thinks9 We should be hearing what the people of this county think. I, for one, support Marine Col. John Lesinski for dele gate. He is a moderate voice in a world of destructive extremes and has good solutions for a number of problems. Rick Kohler Amissville i m proud to vote tor Todd on Nov. 3 Recently, Democrat John Lesinski dismissed Delegate Todd Gilbert’s accomplishments in Richmond as things that voters don’t think are “priorities.” I’ve got news for Mr. Lesinksi: We think Public Safety is a pretty serious issue! It's unfortunate Mr. Lesinski doesn't understand this. Todd Gilbert has years of first-hand experience as a prosecutor and knows what it takes to keep our community safe. Delegate Gilbert has passed legislation to keep methamphetamine dealers off the streets and out of our schools. Delegate Gilbert passed a law that keeps illegal aliens who commit crimes behind bars until they stand trial. He also blocked Gov. Kaine’s plan to give early release to drug dealers, burglars, and child molesters. It's a shame that John Lesinski views the safety of our communities, families and schools as some kind of trivial afterthought. I don't want to see our valley turn into a crime den like parts of Mr. Lesinski’s native Fairfax. Delegate Todd Gilbert cares about the safety of our children and our commu nities; he fights for us to keep us safe and I appreciate his accomplishments in Richmond I'm proud to vote for Todd on Nov. 3. Jamie Heishman Edinburg, Va. It’s time to put a real leader in Richmond ... cast your vote for John Lesinski’ Todd Gilbert is obviously panicked about the upcoming election. You can see this whenever he’s in the same nx>m as his opponent - Col John Lesinski. Gilbert becomes visibly nervous, sweats profusely, and turns bright red. I’m not a psychologist, but I find these reac turns to be signs of general anxiety. While Col. Lesinski has been putting forward new ideas for creating jobs and growing our economy, Gilbert continues to spew hateful partisan rhetoric that is as offensive as it is irrelevant. Recently, Col. Lesinski pro posed a tax credit for small businesses that employ members of the National Guard and Military Reserves. This is clearly a good way to help businesses and support our troops. What was Gilbert’s response to an idea to help support our troops? He attacked Col. Lesinski for not addressing “key issues.” Apparently, Todd Gilbert doesn’t think supporting our troops is a "key issue” for our district (or anywhere else). Of course, Gilbert did point out that his campaign manager is a veteran. This might be the only job Todd Gilbert has created for a veteran (or anyone else' during his four years in office. In the 15th District, there is only one candidate with 26 years of military' experience. There is only one candidate putting forward ideas for getting our economy back on track and bringing jobs back into the District. There is only one candidate with the temperament and wisdom to represent even - one in the 15th District. That candidate is Col John Lesinski. It’s time to put a real leader in Richmond. Please- cast your vote for John Lesinski on Nov. 3. Maxine Roles Page County What about the future we want for ourselves, Mr. Lesinski?’ A few days ago I read on the Internet a shocking interview from 2006 with Democrat House of Delegates candidate John Lesinski At the time, Lesinski was still a Fairfax commercial real estate salesman In a Northern Virginia real estate magazine, he said that the Shenandoah Valley was ripe for the picking in terms of expanding the sprawl of the Northern Virginia suburbs into our area. In the article entitled “How Far Out Can DC Go?,” Lesinski laid out his plan to bring Northern Virginia-style growth to the Shenandoah Valley. He called the 1-81 corridor "Washington's future” and referred to the place he now wants to represent as “out there ” Washington's future9 What about the future we want for ourselves, Mr Lesinski9 Lesinski told all his developer cronies in that article that there were big profits to be made in the valley by selling off family farms and paving over the countryside. Then he promptly moved his real estate business here so that he could line his pockets by trying to do just that! And now he wants to represent us? I can tell Mr. Lesinski one thing, whether they grew up here or moved here to get away from suburban sprawl, folks in this part of the world do not take kindly to carpetbaggers who want to move out here and profit from mass rural development. That was a much different picture than the one Lesinski now paints since deciding to run for office. As a candidate, he talks about preserving rural culture, saving our farmland and preserving our scenic beauty. How shameless can you get? Just a couple of years ago, he was talking about turning our beautiful valley into just another cluttered suburb of Washington, D C. and now he says he wants to preserve our rural heritage! He moved his commercial real estate business here to bring about the sprawl he proudly talked about using one side of his mouth, and out of the other side of his mouth he tells the voters “out here" what he thinks they want to hear Mike Monahan Basye, Va.

Council From Page A1 pagers of fire and rescue volunteers. Increasing airwave congestion and newer pagers that are not as efficient as the old models were blamed for volunteer fire and rescue personnel missing calls over the past three years, McCarthy said, but particularly in the last six months. To cope with degrading signal strength in areas furthest from the tower — especially in Castleton and Amissville but also in parts of Sperryville and Woodville — McCarthy said the county has tried every other fix suggested by its consultant, CTA Communications. This includes replacing the antenna on top of the current tower and the cable between the jail (which also houses the Sheriff’s Office and its dispatch center) and the tower, McCarthy said. The $13,000 tower is being paid for by the county Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association, McCarthy said. “You will see the tower — you’ll see it from a lot of places,” McCarthy said. “We did do a balloon test in an effort to be responsible for what we were going to... inflict on the town.” Suggestions — that the antenna be moved to the treatment plant, or closer to U.S. 211 on the same former Carrigan property, or at the Washington Volunteer Fire Company — were put forth by Mayor Eugene Leggett and council members Gary Schwartz, Jean Goodine and John Sullivan and town attorney John Bennett. “All of these are options, they just cost money,” McCarthy said. “But they don’t get to the issue of security." He was referring to the requirement that the connection from the tower to the' dispatch center console be as short as possible — and visible from the Sheriffs Office. Told that a long-standing exemption for public safety structures meant the tower did not need Architectural ReviewBoard approval, ARB member Kevin Adams said: “No one is 150 0ft upon '.200 ft 100.0 ft 80 Oft eccft <0.0 ft 2001 00 ft County sketch of 5 foot wide tnangutar steel tower. arguing the need for this tower, but I would ask the town to take into consideration that ARB reviews and approves anything more than one and a half feet high, and this is 150 feet high.” Sharon Luke suggested the permit not be open-ended but be good for five years, and that the county agree to take down the tower even sooner, if technology advances make that possible. The council and McCarthy agreed. Finally, just before the vote, Leggett summarized: “I don’t see that anything is going to be gained by going through these gyrations,” he said, referring to suggestions that the county come back with feasibility studies for some of the other suggested sites. “In the end, since the town is just one square mile in size, you’re going to wind up with a site that’s just as intrusive — but not as secure, or convenient. “It’s a big tower, and this is a little place.” County emergency services coordinator Richie Burke said this week that construction of the galvanized-steel, triangular tower (which has no warning lights or guide wires) could begin in as little as two weeks, and would be completed in just over a month. Phase 1 Sewer Users Redefined In other action, the council approved changes to the town’s sewer ordinance and service district map intended to accommodate several additional hookups to the first phase of the new sewer system. The ordinance amendment redefined “existing users,” who pay $7,500 to connect to the new system instead of the “new user” fee of $15,000 — to include the few existing structures in town which do not have current sewer and/or water hookups, including the county-owned Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community <RAAC) theater (formerly Ki Theatre). All Phase 1 assessments and easement applications, the council voted, now need to be in and accepted by the town by Monday, Oct. 26. New facilities must be constructed and online by Oct. 1, 2010. Later in the meeting, the town agreed to waive water hookup fees for the Rappahannock Historical Society, which has paid to join the sewer system but, the society’s Judy Tole told the council, could not afford the required water hookup. The council voted to allow the small nonprofit soci- medical clinic next door, at least ety s museum and offices to con- until the use or ownership of tinue sharing a hookup with the either building changes. INFORMATIONAL HEARING: BATTLE RUN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT ON RICHMOND ROAD (RT. 729) POTENTIAL ROAD CLOSURE The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors shall hold a public informational meeting on Monday November 2, 2009 at their regular 2 00pm General Business meeting The replacement of the bndge over Battle Run is one of the highest pnonties of the County Six-Year Transportation Plan, but declining state revenues for road improvements have forced consideration of money-saving measures, including a temporary closure of the road rather than re-routing it saving the construction costs involved therein. The condition of the bridge may necessitate load limits and other restnctions over the course of time pnor to its replacement. The Virginia Department of Transportation has sought the Board's concurrence in a temporary closure of the bndge, likely in 2012, of from 90-120 days, in order for the bridge to be replaced.

Sawyer and charged him with a number of drug-related offenses. Acting on information from an investigator with the Blue Ridge Narcotics Task Force, Rappahannock County Sheriff Connie Smith said, local sheriffs deputies and members of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT) obtained a search warrant for the apartment rented by Sawyer at 14828 Lee Highway, above the American Road Motorcycles shop. The warrant was carried out at 12:05 a.m. The task force is a cooperative law-enforcement venture of 11 area jurisdictions and Virginia State Police. Undisclosed amounts of marijuana, crack cocaine and cash were seized in the raid, Smith said, which began when officers set off a series of “flashbangs" - small diversionary devices that flash brightly and feature a loud, fireworks-like report.

After spending a lifetime in this area, and 20 years with the department, the sheriff knows .. . a lot of people.” Other jurisdictions also pay Rappahannock County for inmates housed on their behalf, including work-release prisoners. County chief jailer Lt. Justin Brown and others in the department - including Smith - “worked pretty tirelessly for days and through the weekend to find him," Jenkins said. “And it was not so much because he was violent or dangerous but because he’s the only person who's done that in a year since we started the program.” Jenkins said cutting or tampering with the hard-plastic bracelet, laced with fiber-optic wire, sets off an immediate alarm that alerts by phone the jail duty officer and other deputies and gives the last known location of the bracelet.

A large group of WCDS students volunteered recently at the Children's Wellness Clinic in Manassas. One of the sponsors, Betty Diehl, wrote: The students of Wakefield Country Day School represented the school and themselves in the most noble and selfless way possible. Always smiling, being courteous, and full of energy, they painted children's faces, made crafts with them, played games with them, and made sure that all had a fun and exciting time.

Thursday, October 22, 2009 www.rappnews.com ‘A Square Deal’ exhibit opens at Middle Street Gallery Small paintings perfect for holiday gift giving By Gary Anthes Special to the Rappahannock News The Middle Street Gallery, a 20-person artists' cooperative based in Rappahannock County, will show original paintings, photographs and sculpture by its members from Nov. 6 through 29. This exhibition, one of several group shows put on each year at the gallery, comes with a special twist appropriate for the season (not to mention the state of the economy ). Called A Square Deal, the show will feature works of art that are all approximately 12 inches by 12 inches in si2e. In keeping with the diminutive size, the works' will be priced attractively for holiday purchase and will be available for immediate removal by the buyer. Member artists Janet Brome and Pam Pittinger are collaborating on brilliantly colored bug sculptures, with paper-mache bodies, coated wire legs and wings made of painted window screen. They plan to make “a bunch of bugs, all fitting into a 12-inch cube,” Brome says. Painter Thomas Spande will offer a brightly colored oil depicting a short stretch of the Hazel River. “Frequent walks along the Hazel River in the Shenandoah National Park yielded inspiration for this piece, which depicts dappled light falling on the river which meanders through nicks and boulders," he says. “In this picture I try to activate the picture plane with both illusionist ele ‘Bug. papier mache. metal screen and coated wire, Pam Pittinger and Janet Brome ments and abstract ones, to create a lively effect." Lively, indeed. His painting suggests a brilliantly sunlit stretch of river lined by dark growth along its banks. In one of Wayne Paige's futuristic pen and ink drawings, we see his trademark clothes pen-like figures under a sky populated by zeros and ones. “Technology as represented bv binary numbers encroaches on idyllic and mythological landscapes of hills, waterfalls, and forests," Paige says. “The inhabitants...are seen floating, flying and ‘Hazel River,'oil on canvas, Thomas Spande fleeing from untold events, portending everlasting change The nature of the work introduces us to the reality of a post-bucolic avalization and raises questions about contemporary life " Photographer Jo Levine will show a detail from a photo of leaves she took on a hike last December in Difficult Run Park in Fairfax County. “Early morning light made the leaves glow as if lit from within," she says. "Frost was just disappearing from the leaves as I took the picture." Photographer Gary Anthes will offer a pair of Leaves, photograph. Jo Levine images from beaches in the western US., made abstract by their square shapes and sensuous lines. Says Anthes. “I almost always shoot in conventional rectangular shapes, but these photos actually worked best cropped as squares. Perfect for this show" The gallery is located next to The Inn at Little Washington.

Smithsonian’s chamber music series begins 20th season at the Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock News The Smithsonian at Little Washington chamber music series begins its 20th season Oct. 31 with a concert by six members of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, celebrating “Haydn Year 2009.” The 8 p.m. performance at the Theatre at Little Washington commemorates the 200th anniversary of the death of Austrian composer Joseph Haydn The program is all great music by Haydn two trios for baryton, violin and cello; a flute-cello-piano trio; a violincello-piano trio; and Johann Peter Salomon’s 1801 arrangement of Haydn's “London” Symphony (No. 104) for flute, string quartet, and piano. The Smithsonian Chamber Music Society's artistic director Kenneth Slowik will play a stunningly beautiful new fortepiano recently completed bv Thomas and Barbara Wolf, whose workshop in The Plains continues to build instruments that are much sought-after by musicians throughout the world. This concert will be the first public hearing of the new fortepiano. Joining Slowik will be Massachusetts-based flautist Christopher Krueger, whose appearance on last season’s all-Bach series at “Little” Washington was much enjoyed, plus New York-based cellist Myron Lutzke, long a veteran of the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society's Washington performances and recordings. Lutzke last appeared at “Little" Washington in a 2004 concert by the Esterhazy Machine, the baryton-viola-cello trio. The Dutch baroque violinist Jaap Schroder also will be on hand to perform works by Haydn, a composer with whose music he has been closely associated throughout his career. Schroder is a long-time member of the Smithsonian String Quartet (and thus was a frequent performer in the early days of the Smithsonian at Little Washington series). Completing the roster will be violinist Linda Quan and violist Judson Griffin. The program will be repeated the following evening at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. The 2009 2010 Smithsonian at Little Washington series will continue in the spring, with concerts on Sunday, March 21 at 3 p.m , when harpsichordist Kenneth Slowik will play the Goldberg Variations in honor of Johann Sebastian Bach’s 325th birthday, which falls on this date; and on Saturday, May 8, when Kenneth Slowik at the fortepiano. will be joined by the acclaimed Dutch violinist Vera Beths in sonatas by Schubert and Mozart.

(Adults only.) The tradition of the clow n is rooted in time and culture Shakespeare so often used his clown or fool to speak the truth Other characters muddled through, not seeing reality, or the errors of their ways Yet the clown held fast to the ground beneath him while making our spirits soar The clown of circuses and vaudeville helps the audience look on the lighter side when the burdens of the world seem too heavy to hear And w ho can forget the delight of Marcel Marceau as his clowning mime, with the ultimate precision of movement, climbed an invisible ladder or coyly pickt*d a flower from a public garden See WORKSHOP, Page B2

Local artist donates paintings to county In preparing for this year’s Artists’ Tour Nov. 7-8, Stephen R. Wagner came across two remaining paintings of a series he did, and decided to donate them to Rappahannock County in hopes of both generating more interest in the Artists Tour and also to save them from the huge stack of paintings and art threatening to suffocate him in his own studio. In 1992 Wagner designed the Rappahannock County seal and in 2000 began a series of painting of historic county buildings, including the Town Hall, (which was once the Rappahannock County Library) and John McCarthy’s office. Attorney Doug Baumgardner owns Wagner’s paintings of the courthouse and adjoining treasurer’s office complex. The internationally-published illustrator now has turned his talents to exploring the wonders of nature. A recent series, “Basics,” are life studies of found objects. Samples of these pencil/gouache paintings are on the RAAC Web site. The artist is working on oil paintings inspired by nature and will be part of the artists of Rappahannock tour. Wagner is a 22-year resident of the county and has had shows at The Packing Shed and Long View galleries, among others. Annual House Tour The 53rd annual House Tour and Dried Flower Sale took place over the weekend. The tour was sponsored by the women of Trinity Episcopal Church. In the parish hall, dried flower arrangements were on sale. There were so many varieties of flowers, colors and sizes. The beautiful dried arrangements were truly works of art and to see the finished product, little does one realize the preparation and work necessary to complete them. Food Pantry Vegetables are still coming into the Food Pantry this month, 300 pounds worth, but fruit is the big story - nearly 1,800 pounds of apples. There also was a donation of 336 pounds of ground beef by a local cattle farmer who prefers to remain anonymous. The Pantry receives very little meat, so this freezer-stocker donation was a real bonanza for the more than 200 pantry users according to Kathy Eggers, Volunteer Coordinator for the pantry. Donations of food also included 84 quarts of milk, 98 dozen eggs, 46 pounds of butter, 1,286 pounds of canned and boxed food, and 254 pounds of pet food. The Pantry needs boxes.

As sad and difficult as they may be. funerals prov ide the opportunity for family members to share their sorrow over the loss of a family member and the chance to appreciate the bonds that tie families together This is especially true in cases where families are geographically separated and seldom see one another. While everyone would certainly prefer a joyous rx'casion to gather together with family members, a funeral is nothing less than a life passage that allows people to grieve and reaffirm their love and commitment to one another Most ol us plan ahead for special events, such as vacations, higher education and weddings Why not pre-plan the commemoration of our passing’ Making important memoriali/ation decisions now alleviates loved ones from dealing w ith those details w hen gnev ing.

An old litde cookbook brings back history... and memories Several years ago, Michelle Jenkins, who was raised on the Brown property in Jenkins Hollow, bought a very old cookbook (an old receipt book, #23, the back pages of which were used tor the recipes) at an auction during the estate sale of Mabel Gore, and kept it treasured for all these years. One of the recipes was bv Eleanor Deshazo, a schoolteacher from Sealston. Ya.. who married Maury Brown and raised seven children in the hollow. The oldest is Phyllis, the youngest is Jean. They, were inseparable growing up with Phyllis taking care of Jean most of the time, and to this day they are best of friends, living near each other in Chesterfield, Ya Sperryville Gail Swift sperryvillenews@ gmail.com (540) 987-8840 One Saturday recently Phyllis Brown Shirey and Jean Brown Koner were having lunch at the Thornton River Grille.
