NX'WW.RAITNEWS.Ct )M 75 < Recognizing Rappahannock’s History ‘My Rappahannock Story Book’ republished By John Tole Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Historical Society invites the community to a reception and booksigning in celebration of the release of the 2009 reprinting of the classic work “My Rappahannock Story Book.” .The special event will be held Sunday, Nov. 22 from 3-6 p.m. at the Middleton Inn on Main Street in “Little" Washington. The Historical Society is pleased to be able to offer this fine new printing of a work that has long been out of print and is considered to be a collector’s ite'*' Anyone with an interest in the heritage of Rappahannock County will find this book to be an essential addition to his or her library. In the late 1940s Mary Elizabeth Hite (“Miss Dolly’* assembled a rich combination of factual records, oral histories, and local lore to create the book about Rappahannock County. The result was a detailed snapshot of the people, places, and attitudes of her times. Many of the homes, the families and the landmarks that Hite described remain fundamental to the life of the community. All areas of the county and iconic residences such See BOOK, Page A6 A book, Civil War markers tell county story CIVIL WAR VICTORY: In front of the Confederate Monument on the courthouse lawn In Washington. _ Rappahannock Historical Society's John Tole poses with the first of the roughly 30 Civil War Trails markers that he helped create. Workers began installing them throughout the county this week. Rappahannock News Staff Photo RooePiantados: Civil War Trails markers go up at historic sites By Roger Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though it was the site of no major battles or storied incidents, Rappahannock County’s experience of the Civil War was no less deep or noteworthy than it was anywhere else in 19th-century America. And soon there will be up to 30 signs and markers throughout the county to remind folks - including “a whole new category'” of visitors - of this truth. The first five »f the steel, glass-encased markers were installed by Civil War Trails workers Tuesday, two on the Rappahannock County Courthouse lawn and one each in Amissville, Ben Venue and Sperryville. More markers, and highway signage directing visitors to the trail will appear in the weeks and months to come. The Rappahannock Historical Society’s John and Judy Tole accompanied the crew to the installation sites Tuesday. John Tole, who did most of the research, writing and documentation gathering over the past three years for the markers, said: “Rappahannock County was not a hotbed of military action throughout the war. but the stories these markers tell encompass the entire range of what people experienced during the war " Those stories, Tole said, include the sacrifices and hardships suffered by all, active soldiers and otherwise, including: local farmers and merchants who saw livestock and livelihoods confiscated by Union troops who occupied the county in the summer of 1862; typhoid and other life-threatening diseases and wounds suffered by those Union troops and. a year later, by the Confederates who passed through on their way to and from battles in Gettysburg and Manassas. The markers and highway signs art* part of a federal Transportation Enhancement Project administered by the state and the private nonprofit Civil War Trails organization (www.civilwartraveler.com), which builds and installs the markers and offers comprehensive Civil War tourism information - trail maps, event calendars, historical narrative and more - on its Web site and at visitor centers nationwide. The county paved a parking lot at the county-owned farmhouse next to the library on U.S. 211 just east of town, to be the site of a lighted Civil War Trails information kiosk (not yet lit but already standing, and built by students at Rappahannock High School >, plus a'trail map, a yet-to-be-installed marker and space for general county tourism information. By paying for this and other related projects, "the county met its 80-20 financial obligation to participate in the program,” said County Administrator John W McCarthy, who put the grant total at approximately .. $110,000, “eighty percent of which comes from the state ” McCarthy said Tole’s research, and the work of collecting historical documents, maps and photos, made the project possible. "I've just been the bureaucrat connecting state funding to local funding ” Tole. on the other hand, said: "Please don't make a big deal of that - the point of this whole project is to tell the stories of the people who lived through this era, and the truly American story that is told here" Of the five markers placed this week.

See MARKERS, Page A7 Visitor center: topic to be revisited Nov. 20 By Rookk Piantaixisi Rappahannock News Staff Writer The topic of a visitor center for Rappahannock County - what it’s for, where it lives, who should pay for it and how - will be much discussed in the weeks to cojme. Only one of these discussions will be official, howev-* er, and it will start Friday, Nov. 20 at the Washington Town Hall, when a group known as the Tourism Partnership meets and - at the specific request of the county Board of Supervisors - begins the discussion. The board voted a week earlier to table a request to denote a specific visitor center location - an act required for state assistance, including highway signage - after it turned out there were two competing proposals. The proposals came from The Link, operated at the former high school site in Sperryville by the Rappahannock Non-Profit Center (RNPC), and from Jerome Niessen, who is building a natural-food coop and associated arts center in the former Sperryville Antiques Market a few blocks away on River Lane. As other possibilities are now being floated by a number of interested parties, it’s clear that after years of languishing, the issue of a county visitor center has See CENTER, Page A6 Photo by Foster Harris HouSr PRICELESS: Cyclists in one of Foster Harris House's Tour d'Epicure gourmet bike trips make a stop to take in the view of the Blue Ridge.

Page A6 Engineers vie to examine Rappahannock County’s public schools’ energy systems By ROGER PlANTADOSl Rappahannock News Staff Writer Representatives of 21 mechanical engineering firms showed up for a preRappahannock News P.O. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) bid conference last week, hoping for a chance to examine the school system's heating, air-conditioning and related systems, according to School Board president Wesley Mills. Speaking at the School Board’s monthly meeting Tuesday night. Mills said that after evaluating the bids received bv the Nov. 14 deadline, the ad-hoc County and School Funding Team will narrow the field to four at a Nov 19 meeting. Shortly thereafter the team will choose an engineer to look into the workings of the high school’s and elementary school’s heating, cooling, windows, insulation and lighting systems, Mills said. “This team seems to have morphed into the Energy Team," Mills said He was referring to the committee of county and School Board officials (including Mills, Superintendent Robert Chappell, County Administrator John McCarthy and supervisors Ron Frazier and Roger Welch ) and other volunteers formed after the Board of Supervisors refused to approve borrowing $2.5 million to allow the schools to enter a performance a in tract with Ameresco to overhaul the school’s energy efficiency When it started talks w ith Ameresco last year, Mills said,, the School Board’s goal was to look at creative wavs to reduce the schools’ energy-related costs “without issuing a bond or increasing the tax rate." The process of negotiating with Ameresco now that the supervisors decided to seek alternatives, he said, "has fallen apart at the seams" “It’s kinda sad. and kinda exciting," he said “In the end, hopefully w ell w ind up with some more efficient buildings * Chappell presented the board with reports from the state Department of Education showing estimates of the county’s 2010-2012 Composite Index - which determines the level of state school aid - will remain where it has been for the last several years, at .80. This index value 'calculated from the value of pniperty in the county, average household mamie, sales tax paid and school populations' means the county must pay for about 80 percent of the annual school budget, the state contributing 20 percent. Meanwhile, the budget planning process for next year. Chappell said, also begins in the coming month. Chappell, who is retiring in June, will have a pmposed budget for 2010-2011 ready for the board by Feb. 9 The budget wall be submitted to the Board of Supervisors'by March 31.

Amissville church bazaar celebrates 29 years on Nov. 14 By Sarah Boelte Special to the Rappahannock News Twenty-nine years ago, the Amissville United Methodist Church found itself in need. The church had become a “station” church, which meant having its own pastor; previously the church had “shared” a pastor with another church. This was a happy time, because it meant the church was growing, but it also meant it needed a parsonage. Thus the annual bazaar was bom. The women of the church decided to have a small bazaar in the fall of 1980 to help raise funds to build and furnish the parsonage. Although the parsonage was completed in 1983, the bazaar’s growth and success each of those first three years led to the decision to make it an annual event dedicated to missions. What began as a couple of tables of small handcrafted items, 29 years later has grown into an anticipated community event. The now expanded social hall bursts with beautifully crafted items, white elephant items, and baked goods, and lunch is served to eat in or carry out. The year’s bazaar is Saturday, Nov. 14, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Amissville United Methodist Church Social Hall. Many customers return every year to purchase the fresh pecans which are shipped in literally days after they are harvested. A line at the door forms rain or shine of loyal customers hoping to purchase one of the exquisite egg ornaments crafted and donated by Gerty Poling. The bazaar’s success is measured not only in dollars, but by seeiiig the warmth and fellowship people feel when they walk through the door. Although the bazaar requires months of work to prepare for each year, the United Methodist Women’s group feels it is important to try and maintain these too often fast disappearing community events from the calendar. “Yes, you can go to the dollar store and buy things produced overseas for less,” comments UMW President Sarah Boelte, “but in this online, hurry-up world we live in, there is just something nice about going to a church bazaar and coming away with a handmade ornament or homebaked Courtesy photo BAZAAR: UMW members Pat Sher, standing, and Ann Simmons help with the baked goods table at a previous Amissville United Methodist Church bazaar. loaf of bread, and knowing you are supporting a good cause at the same time.” The purpose and function of the UMW is to support missions. Proceeds from the bazaar are used for missions in Rappahannock County such as the food bank, community food baskets during the holiday season, angel tree gifts for local families, Vacation Bible School, and the Community Easter Egg Hunt, as well as wherever needs Series of thefts occur in county Five apparently unrelated thefts took place in Rappahannock County last week, Sheriff Connie Smith said Wednesday, calling it “an unusual week.” The most significant item stolen was a 2004 Honda Recon all-terrain vehicle (ATV), which disappeared overnight from the yard outside a home near the Notices & Meetings • Any person interested tn being appointed to the Washington Town Council to fill the remaining term of council member Jeff Benson - which ends July 2009 - and is a qualified registered voter and a resident of the Town of Washington, should submit a letter of interest to the mayor and Town Council by close of business Dec. 1.

An investigation into the theft of the ATV, red with black trim, is being conducted by Deputy Gary Jenkins. The Sheriffs Office has suspects in this case, Smith said. On Friday, Nov. 6, a purse* was reported stolen at lunchtime from an unlocked car in the parking lot of Rae's Restaurant in Sperryville. The day before, a black 30-gigabyte iPod was reported stolen from an unlocked vehicle parked at a home on Indian Run Road in Amissville. Smith said investigations continue but there are no suspects in either theft. Also on Thursday, Nov. 5, two 100-pound propane tanks were reported missing from a property on Countryside Lane in Amissville. Finally, a Sperryville resident reported on Monday that someone had entered his (unlocked) home while he was away and took prescription drugs (oxycodone) and DVDs. An investigation continues.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12,2009 Farmers, streams If experience is any guide, there is going to be bluster aplenty, much posturing and tons of huffing and puffing from groups representing farmers as Congress takes up The Chesapeake Bay Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act of 2009. If experience is any guide, farmers themselves won’t be nearly so overwrought by the legislation’s mandates. They are much more willing to entertain the notion' that agriculture isn’t exactly the benign, family-centric occupation enshrined in our popular mythology, and that, indeed, farming may bear some responsibility for problems in the bay and its tributaries. Our sense is that many Rappahannock farmers are already adhering to the majority of the items on the bestmanagement practices short list as suggested in the legislation: no-till; stream buffers; winter cover crops; nutrient management plans; and fencing livestock out of streams. In discussions about farm cleanup, the last-named always seems to be a sticking point, though there is no good reason why it should. That the water will be cleaner if you don’t have a bunch of cattle stomping around in it is a no-brainer. Money isn’t that much of a problem, either. For many years, funds have been available through a variety of state and federal environmental-protection grants. The money is there to assist farmers in putting up the fences and for building alternative watering systems once they do. What are the chances that a tough new bay cleanup program will become law? Pretty good, it seems to us. There are a lot of senators and representatives who will be voting on a feel-good bill that, unless they represent Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New York or West Virginia, won’t really affect their own con stituents. Even though it does affect their constituents, we’d like to see Rappahannock’s representative Eric Cantor (R7th' get on board, and senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb take a leadership role in shepherding this legislation into law. ' While recognizing the importance of political maneuvering that a Republican representative would likely have to do in supporting the bill, foundation Federal Affairs Director Doug Siglin argues that the bill is as Republican as it can possibly be. ‘Right now, we have hundreds of millions of dollars going out the door, but there are no standards,” Siglin said. “What this bill is going to do is set federal standards and say to the states, ‘you figure it out yourself but you have to meet the federal standards.’ “Based on state rights and market forces, I can’t imagine a bill that is more Republican than that,” he said. The second concern, Siglin said, “is with the farm constituency coming out to get them.” The farm lobby is a little bit more difficult for our representatives to duck, Siglin suggested. Farm Bureau and other ag lobbies wield considerable power on Capital Hill, and that’s usually good news for the declining number of people who still work the land. The news isn’t so great, as is the case here, when the lobbyists are so completely out of touch with those on whose behalf they speak. mrv « f'H Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Roger Piantadosi Core Group Among the 29 volunteers who showed up at Rappahannock County Elementary School Tuesday afternoon to peel and core apples and prepare other produce for yesterday's “Local Food Day" lunch at both county public schools are, from left: Supervisor-elect Chris Parrish: Headwaters' board member Ashleigh Cannon Sharp; school Farm-to-Table Program director Trista Scheuerlein: Virginia Cooperative Extension Service community viability specialist Matt Benson; Caroline Parrish; Headwaters' executive director Toni Egger, and Mitzi Young.

Kevin Adams President RAAC board Trail ride benefits Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company Again this year, our wonderful friends and volunteers held the second annual trail ride to benefit the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company. It is difficult to recognize everyone who volunteered their time, effort and resources, but we need to do the best we can. The prime movers in this effort were Deborah Miloslavich and Janet Borden. This year, Audra Dickey joined them and was responsible for the dinner. The Lions Club loaned us a tent, as did Anne and Ken Pankow. Fire department members helped with tent set up, delivery and set up of tables and chairs, traffic control, and also manned rescue equipment and took photos to document the event. Bob Day and Bob Miloslavich worked tirelessly on getting the trails and trail signs ready. The trails were located on Hard Rock Farms, Red Fox Run, Patria, Wakefield Manor and Bolton Branch Farm. Chili was provided by Stephani Johnson, Kitty Lou Day, Deborah Miloslavich, Janet Borden, Richard Brady, Jenny Knapp, Fran Krebser and Sue ClafTy. Corporate donors included Lee’s Orchards, Martin’s Grocery and Settle’s Garage and Grocery. Food preparation was by Sargeant Heinz and his friends, who prepared a wonderful meal of beef and chicken. The Shenandoah Travelers entertained with bluegrass music during the dinner. Other efforts were supported by Ginny and Gail Nellis, Lisa Hooff Kitty Whitemore, and Jackie Mercer (from Delaware*. Karl Heltibridle led the sendees at cowboy church on Sunday morning. How blessed we are to live in a community with such spirit and enthusiasm for helping our volunteer fire and rescue operation. Plans are already underway for next year, with the event tentatively scheduled for Oct. 22-24. Thank you. one and all.

At the regular meeting of the School Board held Tuesday night, the sale of the SperryviUe property was approved and that of the Washington property was rejected and must be resold The Spenyville school building and land was sold to Clifford Miller III for $13,600. This has been approved. Douglas Bywaters of Flint Hill has assumed the duties of Maintenance Superintendent of the Virginia Department of Highways in Rappahannock County. He has been employed ' with the department for eight years and fills the vacancy by the retirement of M. H. Brady, which becomes official in January.

' 25 YEARS AGO November 1,1984 Rappahannock supervisors will attempt to purchase 100-plus acres soon for the county’s first landfill Supervisors convened in special session Oct. 26 to discuss purchase of property presently up for sale. The supervisors did not reveal the location of the proposed landfill site. According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, another party also is interested. Emergency Services technician Mary Bailey and shock-trauma technician Teddy Hannon discussed life-saving drugs and emergency procedures Oct. 26 when they met with four sixth grade science classes at the elementary school. The Town of Washington should have as many as eight water shut-off valves operative soon. Work began Oct. 25 to correct the nagging problem of no water in Washington when even minor leaks occur in the system. According to Brad Fisher, vice mayor, town officials recently discovered six shut-off" valves already exist in the town’s water supply network. The discovery was made when going over maps of the town's nearly 50-year-old system. All six valves had been paved over and forgotten years ago, Fisher said. Working on the project were Steve Critzer and Thurman Whorton, who uncovered two of the valves last Thursday. 10 YEARS AGO November 3,.1999 Larry C. Sherertz had a landslide victory over John H. Woodward in a hotly contested race for Sheriff of Rappahannock County on Tuesday, Nov. 2. Sherertz received 1,660 votes, while Woodward only garnered 864 votes.

McCarthy noted that the apparent low qualified bidder, Samuel James Construction of Culpeper, had tendered an offer of $106,262.82 for the work. Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

Commentary & Opinion Helping small businesses While our small businesses often lead the nation out of recession, that has not been the case this time — and least not so far. The national unemployment rate jumped to 10.2 percent in October from 9.8 percent in September, and economists say a big reason is that small businesses continue to struggle. Small businesses are the life-blood of our economy and are key to leading us on the path toward recovery. Businesses with fewer than 20 employees account for 25 percent of all jobs but generated about 40% of the job growth in the last recovery, according the U.S. Small Business Administration. While Congress took unprecedented action last fall to help stabilize big business and big banks on Wall Street, we should do more to support the small and independent business owners on Main Street who will create the jobs that fuel recovery beyond the stock market. In dozens of discussions with hundreds of entrepreneurs and hometown bankers across Virginia, I have learned of their significant frustration Over the The Forum Senator Mark R. Warner limited availability of credit and the slow-moving federal programs that are supposed to help small businesses. Many banks, for instance, have tightened the availability of credit in anticipation of future loan losses in commercial real estate and home mortgage loans. Others have clamped down generally in an effort to improve their balance sheets while they wait for Congress to complete work on financial re-regulations that might require them to put aside additional capital reserves or submit to tougher regulatory oversight. While the Obama administration has taken steps in recent months to loosen the clogged credit pipelines overall, these programs have done little to unlock credit for small business owners and retailers. Many of these business owners have told me, for instance, that the credit crunch has limited their ability to hire seasonal employees for the upcoming holidays. Late last month, President Obama announced new initiatives to spur lending to small businesses, including higher caps on loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. This is a good first step. However, I believe we can and should do more to help responsible, creditworthy small and midsize businesses access the credit they need — in many cases, so they can maintain payrolls and inventories. That’s why I have put forward a sensible proposal that would reallocate a portion of the unused funds in the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, combined with the resources of regional and community-based banks, to create up to a $50 billion small business loan fund. On Oct. 21,1 sent a letter to President Obama signed by 32 of my Senate colleagues — onethird of the entire Senate — urging the White House to consider this proposal, and we continue to have meaningful and productive conversations with c. Loss leaders make Thanksgiving cheapest meal of the year Thanksgiving is the one holiday we all celebrate in the same way. We gather family and friends together around a table piled high with traditional fare. It’s turkey we crave for Thanksgiving, served hot from the oven with cranberry sauce, green bean casserole and marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes. Adding a ham to the feast gives a nod to our southern heritage. Pie is the dessert of choice for Thanksgiving — pumpkin, sweet potato and pecan. No matter how gourmet your cooking style, at Thanksgiving, the menu never seems to change. As we cling to home and hearth in these troubled economic times, it’s comforting to know that there’s at least one constant we all share. Thanksgiving is only two weeks away, so now’s the time to get busy planning your meal. Going out is always great, but cooking a Thanksgiving feast at home is the most economical meal of the year This year, the average cost for a home-cooked traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, green beans, sweet potatoes and pie to serve 10 comes in at around $40. That’s only $4 per person. You can’t beat that. Surprised? At Thanksgiving, stores battle each other for your grocery business, pricing traditional foods way below cost. Whole turkeys are always priced too cheap to believe. Canned green Taste of THE Piedmont Karla Jones Seidita www.Cheesecake Farms.com beans, canned pumpkin, refrigerated pie crusts, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes are Jill priced rock bottom. This marketing technique is called a loss leader in the trade. By deliberately pricing certain items ridiculously low, they'll tempt you to shop at their store. Once you're in, you’re going to buy lots of high-profit items to make up the difference. You'll buy beer and wine, artisan breads, ice cream, salad fixings, paper plates, aluminum foil, butter, fancy hors d’oeuvres, centerpieces, and more. Frugal shoppers will stick to their grocery list. Good for you! Got extra freezer space? Take advantage of the savings by picking up an extra bird or two. You’ll use them at Christmas or later in the winter, when the prices won't be as cheap. Ditto for cans of green beans, mushroom soup and anything else you like that’s on sale at Thanksgiving. Let’s talk turkey Many people are intimidated by the idea of cooking a turkey. It's typically the biggest cooking project modem families face in a year. Then there’s always the question of should you or shouldn’t you stuff your turkey. It’s enough to drive you crazy. Relax. Think of a turkey as a big chicken. You cook chicken all the time with no problem. Everyone can make Thanksgiving dinner and you can, too. Here’s some FAQ’s from my mail bag. Q. My mother always stuffed our Thanksgiving turkey, and I love it that way but I’m always reading that it’s unsafe. Is it or isn't it OK to stuff a turkey before roasting? A. It’s OK to stuff a turkey, providing you handle the bird safely and remove the stuffing immediately after serving so it doesn’t cool down in the bird. The problem with stuffing a turkey isn’t the stuffing but the way the bird is handled. If you’re uneasy about stuffing a turkey, the best rule of thumb is "when in doubt, leave it out." For peace of mind, bake your stuffing in a casserole instead of in the bird. Q. I’ve always read that you shouldn't salt meat before cooking because it draws out the juices and makes it dry, but every celebrity chef talks about brining. What gives? A. Brining means soaking in salt water which, yes, will draw out the moisture and make your turkey drier. Here’s why they recommend it. Thanks from Mike Biniek Supervisor Elect, Piedmont District Dear Piedmont District Residents, 1 am very appreciative of your trust and confidence. We had a good, clean and close race and 1 would like to say “Thank You.” Thank You to all the people w ho voted for me. I appreciate your support. Tluink You to the many friends and neighbors who helped make my candidacy successful. All of you were a invaluable to me. Tluink You to Tom Junk, my opponent w ho ran a clean, spirited and admirable race. 1 agree with Tom that a contested race gener ates more good ideas. I think we all know that Tom is an important voice in the Piedmont District. I am looking forward to scrv ing as your Supervisor and I will work hard for you. Please feel free to contact me w ith your questions and concerns. / . Sincerely, Mike Binick A \ Authorized f>\ Mike for Supervisor the administration about how to implement this proposal. The overwhelming majority of our regional and community banks had absolutely nothing to do with the poor decisions and excesses that swept Wall Street in recent years and helped trigger our economic meltdown. And communitybased banks have extensive experience in evaluating and managing small business loans. My initiative would require these local banks to put up some of their own money and assume some of the risk because I believe it is important that they have some “skin in the game.” For instance, I have suggested requiring banks to contribute at least 20 percent of their own money and assume “first-dollar loss.” This will ensure that banks do not relax their credit standards, or offer loans to otherwise uncreditworthy customers, simply to access federal dollars designated for small business loans. We also propose that these TARP funds should remain off the balance sheet so banks cannot use the funds simply to bolster their own capital. Additionally, funds should be time-limited, which will ensure Most commercially raised and processed turkeys are infused with salt water or a butter/margarine, water and salt solution. You may think this is to keep the meat moist during cooking, but it’s actually added to prevent spoilage of the meat. Turkeys with added water give off a lot of liquid as they roast. Chefs suggest brining to remove the added water prior to cooking. After roasting, a brined turkey has a richer, game bird taste and a firmer texture. Natural, organic or locally raised farm turkeys typically have no added liquid, so brining will make them horribly dry and the meat stringy. Read the label or ask the farmer to find out if your turkey was injected with a salt solution. If it was, you can brine it if you want. If not, then stay away from all salt until after cooking. that the funds quickly reach those business owners who need it most. This proposal provides a responsible plan for targeted, short-term loans that will not require one additional taxpayer dollar. But even this relatively modest program could help jump-start the economic recovery at the community level. We see this as a constructive step — one that unlocks frbzen credit to our small businesses, and one that will provide a short-term lifeline so these small businesses can survive until we see a more robust economic recover}'. Let me be clear. We are not suggesting a bailout. Rather, we are simply recommending a responsible way to re-boot the credit markets serving our independent businesses, retailers, and entrepreneurs. f AUCTION :30pm Friday, November mg?#*;;’#Holiday Closings The Rappahannock County Sanitary Landfill will be closed to the public all day Thanksgiving Day (November 26).

The 2009 edition of “My Rappahannock Story Book” is completely re-mastered from the original and is available in both standard and deluxe bindings, the latter in handsome leather and limited to 100 numbered copies. Hite was the daughter of Elizabeth C. Starke Hite and Cornelius Randolph Hite, Sr. The senior Hite was the grandson of Major Isaac and Eleanor Madison Hite who built “Belle Grove Manor" in Middletown. Eleanor Madison was the sister of President James Madison. Elizabeth C. Starke Hite was the daughter of Revolutionary War Capt. James S. Starke. Starke and his wife, Elizabeth Botts, purchased the parcel of land now known as Mont Medi in 1838. Capt. and Mrs. Starke lived on the property until their deaths with ownership transferring to Cornelius Randolph Hite Sr., and Elizabeth C. Starke Hite who continued the farming operations. C. R. Hite, Jr. married Marie Kilby and together they worked the land establishing successful orchards during their tenure.

Center From Page A1 made it to the top of the mosttalked-about list. It was discussed at Monday’s Washington Town Council meeting. It was discussed at the county’s Economic Revitalization Advisory Committee meeting Monday afternoon at the county library - after which some committee members walked over and toured the empty, county-owned house next door. The house was mentioned by the supervisors as a third possible location the Tourism Partnership should consider. Others have mentioned the Rappahannock Historical Society’s headquarters and museum in downtown Washington; supervisor Ron Frazier, who represents Amissville, half-kiddinglv suggested looking at sites further east. “I think it’s safe to say there are a number of moving pieces, and trying to get them all aligned correctly is somewhat complex,” said Jay Brown, president of the Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association (WHVA), speaking at Monday night’s Washington Town Council meeting, where the subject of a visitor center came up during the public forum portion of the meeting. “It’s been talked about for many years,” Brown said, “and suddenly, on the horizon, there are a couple of apparently viable proposals.” Speaking directly to the Town Council members Monday night, Brown said: “If the town is interested, the time to act is now.” The county’s tourism presence was stepped up last year with the help of a grant from the Virginia Tourism Corporation, which allowed creation of an Office of Tourism, a county tourism Web site (www.visitrappahannockva.com) and a yearlong consulting contract for Laura Overstreet, who became the county’s tourism coordinator. That grant required the county to have “partners” in the effort; hence the Tourism Partnership was bom. Some of the volunteer partners contributed money - $3,000 from the town of Washington, and $1,000 each from the WHVA, the RNPC and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC). And there was an initial $15,000 investment from the county itself. Other members of the partnership include McCarthy, representing the county; the Rappahannock Historical Society; Shenandoah National Park; The House on Water Street in Sperryville (represented by Barbara Adolfi) and three other representatives: Bill Gadino of Gadino Cellars, Debbie Donehey from Griffin Tavern and a vacant slot for a representative from the agritourism industry. Overstreet said the Nov. 20 meeting will cover a presentation on the intended mission and purpose of a visitor center with current successful examples. Though it’s not set up to be a formal public hearing, she said, the public is welcome to attend.

Markers From Page A1 said, three deal with local African-American history and its complex and often generation-spanning connections to the war; another tells the story of a minor skirmish that took place at Corbin’s Crossing, just south of Amissville. And the first marker installed - facing the Confederate Monument on the courthouse lawn in Washington - provides an overview, listing (as does the monument) the Rappahannock residents who died in the war. It includes a century-old photo of two of Mosby’s Rangers posing in front of the monument shortly after it was placed. “I really hope this will become a source of pride for the whole community,” Tole said. “That and the publicity offered by Civil War Trails, and the whole new category of visitors this will bring to the county - hopefully that will benefit us for many years to come.” THIS YEAR, STUFF THEIR PIGGY BANKS INSTEAD OF THEIR STOCKINGS, Long after most holiday presents have been forgotten, a gift of an investment from Edward Jones can still he vallied by those who received them.

Garden Club keeps decades-old tradition going Designs ‘gorgeous’ arrangements of fresh holiday greens By Sylvie Rovvand Special to the Rappahannock News If you are looking for lovely all-natural fresh decorations for the holidays, look no further than the Rappahannock County Garden Club’s holiday decorations. Not only will you be participating in a tradition several decades old, you will be getting a gorgeous competitively priced arrangement and you will help support the good works of the garden club. Proceeds from the garden club’s one and only fundraiser are used to send several Rappahannock children to two different nature camps. One is a two-week stay-over academically-challenging camp run by the Garden Club of Virginia in Vesuvius and the other is a two week-long Rappahannock nature camp. Proceeds also provide scholarships to county high school students and help fund other garden club projects such as the courthouse plantings in the spring and the Farm to Table Program. What’s available this year? Two kinds of undecorated wreaths, two gorgeously decorated wreaths (one with magnolia leaves and the other full of blue cedar berries), fresh garlands by the foot, a door swag and centerpiece/table top arrangement in white or in red. Prices start at $25.

But it really goes into intense production in late October. A small team of talented women with a good eye for flower arrangements gather to design and construct the prototypes that will be made for the current season. Intense discussions follow’ over color schemes, types of pine cones, balance, proportions, contrast and appeal. You’d think you were attending a serious meeting if it weren’t for the homemade cinnamon buns and the laughter. Photographs are taken for the brochure and Web site display — an effort to give everybody a chance to see the selections before ordering. The arrangements are displayed for a few weeks at select retail locations throughout the county. In mid-to late November, all able garden club members fan the countryside to cut greens — from the gardens of members or from other people's gardens who generously let us trim their hedges and shrubs. It’s a win-win situation: the club gets an abundance of fresh healthy greens (boxwood, fir, spruce, magnolia leaves, arborvitae, pine, cedar, and suitable other greens) and the owners get skillfully trimmed evergreens.

We remember their losses: of time with growing families, and of health, both physical and mental. ' eterans, many of whom still suffer the ill effects of their injuries, regularly offer volunteer support and inspiration for each other. Though, in I Corinthians 12:25*26. Paul speaks about the bodv of believers, our body of veterans share this connection as well..."that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” As we worship during this time of reflection, let us pray for our veterans and offer them and their families our support.

While we may have read references to these hurial places for unknown and indigent people, most have no personal awareness of anyone having to face such dire circumstances. Others are not so fortunate. It is a regrettable fact of death during these challenging economic times that several large counties across this country are reporting unprecedented increases in the number of unclaimed deceased individuals. Some were either unidentifiable or estranged tram their families. For all. there were not .sufficient funds available for burial. These extreme circumstances contrast with the good fortune that most of us enjoy to make choices. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we understand that grieving is a unique challenge for each person who suffers the loss of a lined one. We are here for you. 24 hours a day, whenever you need us at (540) 347-3431 We will meet with you, and handle each and every detail regarding your choices for commemorating the deceased.

Sports Volleyball Highlights Lady Panthers end varsity season with 13-9 record By Melissa Weeks Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock County High School Lady Panther Varsity Volleyball team ended its season with an overall record of 13-9. The final week of play came in the form of the Bull Run District Semi-final Tournament. The Ladies placed fourth in the district with special congratulations going out to the players who earned All-District slots. Danika Kntter made First Team All District and Natalie ■ve-i-ft? ^irtiwHwWWiniB* Sysi#m uptol SOft, 99* GUTTER .TiTi Tupper made Second Team All District. In the last match of the semi-finals. Rapp traveled to Strasburg for its final battle with its arch enemy, the Rams, Coach Jackie Settled reported, “We played on our heels the first two sets of the match, and Strasburg did a good job of keeping us out of our offensive system." Settle credited her seasoned team with being relentless and pulling together to run its traditionally effective offense in the third set to defeat Strasburg. Coach said. “In game four of the match, we were more consistent with our attacks.”’ The final scores of the match were 15-25, 10-25,25-22, and 17-25 for a 1-3 Panther defeat. Special moments of season Lady Panthers were proud of their season and their teamwork this year. Some of the players had special moments that will remain memorable. Lauren Settle’s favorite play was “when our rookie. Joslvn, blocked this year's player of the year from Strasburg and the ball went all the way to the right back position.’ Danika Kritter echoed that same sentiment and added. “It sounded like a cannon going off’ The other stand-out night was the first time Rapp played Skyline at home. Lauren and Hanna described it as the most “intense’ match of the season. “We went to five games, and we won’’ Beyond all the stats and the adrenaline of competitive play. the girls believed their coach to be the best part of the season. Lauren described Coach Settle: “She is like my other mom" Danika said, “It was cool that we won the game on the day she announced her engagement. She was so happy.” Finally, Hanna summed up the feelings about their roach with four, simple words that reveal Coach Settle’s courtside nickname. “Gotta love Chan Chan!” The Rapp Volleyball Team is looking forward to next year’s season. They will miss senior Natalie Tupper but are optimistic since no more than one player is retiring. As Lauren Settle said. “We are going to miss Natalie, but we hope next year we will be going to VCLT” for the state tournament.

Varsity football rallies with 36-14 win By Christine Krap-f Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High School's varsity football team found the perfect prescription to what has been a difficult season: A 36-14 victory Friday night at Hundred High School near Morgantown, WYa “It’s nice to see these kids be successful,” Rappahannock County head coach Bob Czekaj said. “A lot of the kids are playing out of position. A lot of kids are making major contributions ’ Senior wing Bennett Eastham and eighth grade running back Billy Hogan each had two touchdowns for the Panthers, while sophomore back Josh Frye added another score. Ben Hale and Julius Lucas each had an interception and Aiden Demolh. Daniel Clement and Logan Vest all recovered fumbles. The performance, which snapped a six-game losing streak, helped to ease the pain of what has been a tough season lor the Panthers. About five weeks ago, junior Logan McKieman, a starter for Rappahannock County, was killed in an automobile crash. Two of his teammates suffered injuries. Even before McKieman's death, the Panthers had several players injured, so Czekaj had to adjust the lineup to plug the holes. Despite* the setbacks, including being outscored by opponents, 222-26. in those six consecutive losses. Czekaj has been impressed with the work ethic that his Panthers have displayed. “For three or four weeks after Logan’s death, we were mentally drained," he said. “It's hard for everyone to deal with, but I give them credit for sticking with this, and we have improved." The Panthers led twice in the first half before the Panthers took control of the game to hold a 28-14 margin at intermission. While Rappahannock County scored just once in the second half, it controlled the line of scrimmage. “We moved the ball a lot in the second half" Czekaj said. The Panthers close the season Friday night at Carson Long Military Academy in Harrisburg, Pa.

Neighbors Fire House Cafe offers lunch to visitors, residents during tour Washington Volunteer Fire & Rescue members offered lunch and snacks to visitors and- residents attending the fifth annual tour of artists’ studios and galleries this past weekend. The so-called “Fire House Cafe’ was set up in the front bay, complete with tables, chairs, cloth table cloths and a shade tent. It was indeed quite warm, especially on Sunday. Members Hope Huff, Danny Huff and Sylvie Rowand ran the cafe. Austin Huff, who is too young to be a member, also helped The volunteers served complimentary beverages as well as three kinds of sandwiches including pulled pork sourced from Belle Meade Farm with yummy chutney donated by the Virginia Chutney Company. There were three soups, fresh organic mixed salad greens donated by The Farm at Sunnyside, local apples from Roy’s Orchard, and a selection of home-baked sweets including chocolate chip cookies, brownies, coconut bars and Cornmeal Thyme Rosemary Cookies. The Country Cafe was very helpful in helping them source the bread, deli meat, cheese, and two of the soups. Tomato tortellini soup was a big hit said volunteer and chef Sylvie Rowand. Some visitors sat at the tables outside - a convenient spot to spread their tour maps - and plot their course before visiting the open artists’ studios, and others took a lunch box with them. WVFR is delighted that both out-of-countv visitors and residents stopped by for a snack or for a full lunch each day of the tour. The volunteers thank everybody for their patronage and estimate that, in addition to snacks and beverages, they served about 75 lunches, netting approximately $600. All proceeds benefit the ^WFR and are used for its operations or needed equipment. Sympathy Sympathy goes out to Judge Paul Brown’s family. Judge Brown from Washington passed away on Friday, Nov. 6.

It’s About Thyme for a fish market and raw bar By Ray Finefrock Special to Rappahannock News John Yamell thinks it’s about time for a fresh fish market and raw bar in downtown Culpeper. Yamell, who opened the iconic European-themed “It's About Th\-me" restaurant at 128 E. Davis Street in 1995 and Thyme Market and three Thyme Suites at 134 E. Davis St. two-and-a-half wars ago. is working with business partner Dave Young to remodel a space at 140 E. Davis. The new business wall offer seafood selections, and more. "The concept is to have fresh seafood in cases at the front and customers can pick out what they like and take it home to prepare* themselves or have it cooked at Thyme Market next door," said Young “In the back we will have an upscale raw bar where customers can enjoy, for example, oysters and wine while the food is being cooked.” The restaurant, to be known as “Captain Dave’s” is scheduled to open in Apnl or May, according to Yamell. “We want the place to have a market feel working with Thyme Market to meet the needs of customers," said Yamell. “I see a scenario where a customer comes in to "Captain Dave’s’ and orders a bass.

They wait in the back, shuck some oysters and enjoy a Sauvignon while it’s prepared. Then their cell phone rings and they find out some of their kids’ friends are staying for dinner so they also order a pizza from Thyme Market. We want the two to work together. There’ll be a lot of crossover ” Yamell also mentioned serving lobster in the courtyard outside Thyme Market where lunch guests now enjoy the lunches they ordered from the market. “We're looking for a reasonably upscale, fun atmosphere.” Yarnell said “I have had a lot of comments from customers who have to go to Northern Virginia or someplace else out of the area to find something like this. We wanted to offer the experience locally." And, with the limited size of Thyme Market, Yamell said, some current guest requests cannot be met. ‘We want to have the ability to filet whole fish for them and to offer shellfish," said Yamell. “We will be able to offer suggestions as to how to prepare the dinner at home or we'll do it. Well have flavored rubs available for the seafood and somebody on hand with recipes." For his part. Young, who previously worked in the defense industry, is excited about the new opportunity that awaits him and future customers of Captain Dave's. “I've been a customer of John's for seven or eight years and have come to admire and respect what he does with food," said Young. "We think this restaurant is just a natural expansion to what is already available in downtown Culpeper. “This is also an opportunity for me to start a second career and to get into something I enjoy. It will be a way for folks to be able to enjoy good seafood and wine that they either pre Living In Virginia’s Hunt Country HIDDEN HOLLOW 119+/- acres located close to the Village of Woodville in Rappahananock County.

Greenery From Page B1 tedious work — especially with regards to boxwood. They have to be pruned so you won’t even notice that they’ve been pruned; but they appreciate the skilled cuts that let sunlight reach into the shrub to promote stronger growth next year Other collected materials include nandina berries, staghorn sumac, magnolia seed pod. cedar berries, and pines cones. Because the arrangements are all natural, you can just throw them on the compost heap or the burn pile when you are done. Just take out the bo%v from the wreath. Once cut. the greens need to be properly conditioned to ensure that the arrangements remain fresh for as long as possible. It’s a crucial step that the “Greens Intake Manager” takes very seriously. November busy month With all arrangements made to order, November is a busy month for the marketing and sales team If you are interested, place your order as soon as you can - but no later than Nov. 27. Finally, the week following Thanksgiving, all garden club members gather at the Washington Fire Hall to transform the hall into “Greens-Making Central" complete with wreathmaking machines, tally sheets, a quality control manager and lots of coffee. For three days, they'll be busy lugging bags of greens in and out. trimming, pinching, bundling, tying, gluing, sticking, spraying, making flows. decorating and getting their hands really dirty. It will take several days for all the sap to wash away. This year, decorations will be available prior to Washington's Christmas parade Dec. 6. Orders will be ready for pick up at the fire hall on Wednesday, Dec. 3 (although the club says that it’ll try to work with you if you can't pick-up on that date). Don’t forget: they make great hostess gifts. To see photos along with descriptions and ordering information, go on-line to: http://www.laughingduckgardens.com and click on the wreath photo on the right. The club also can e-mail a flier if requested. If interested, contact Susan Hornbostel (987-9620), Nancy Kevser (675-3310) or e-mail bsmah@stoneledge.net or Info@LaughingDuckGardens.com.
