THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2009 (540) 675-3338 WW'X'.RAPPNEWM '( >M 75 0 Thieves break in restaurant By Roger Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office is investigating several leads this week in connection with a break-in at a popular Sperryville fast-food restaurant. Thieves broke in to Burgers N Things, a family-owned takeout spot at 12000 Lee Highway at the U.S. 522 turnoff at 2:30 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11, according to Lt. J.C. Welch. “Hopefully it’ll lead to an arrest soon,” said Welch of the investigation into the burglary, in which an undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the restaurant’s cash register, which had to be replaced, along with several windows and a door. Burgers N Things owner Steve Butler said the burglars broke one of the two glass-and-steel entrance doors to get into the front orderand-pickup area, where they damaged an ATM while trying unsuccessfully to get to its cash drawer, men apparently Drone a sliding glass window to get into the kitchen where money was taken from the register. Butler said he and his wife, Rebecca, and daughter Stephanie Shaw co-own and operate the restaurant, which he said has been broken into “numerous" times since opening 11 years ago. He couldn’t say why, other than it being at one of the county's busiest crossroads, and “maybe it looks like an easy target, though it isn’t.” Alarms set off during the break-in were relayed by private security to the Sheriffs Office, but by the time he arrived, Welch said, the perpetrators were gone. Welch also said there was an attempted break-in at Burgers N Things in early October. The restaurant was closed the next day for repairs, Butler said, but reopened Thursday. The Sheri fif s Office asked anyone with information in the case to contact Lt. Welch at 540-675-5300. Happy Thanksgiving!

This year's event is sure to be a crowd pleaser with a special guest appearance in the parade by the renowned U.S. Army’s Old Guard Fife & Drum Corps It will be marching and providing spirited entertainment along with the Caledonia Bagpipers and the award-winning Rappahannock High School Marching Band. The parade begins at 1 p.m. and threads its way through the picturesque village around Main and Gay streets. The Grand Marshal of the parade will be a hit with children young and old and a true mini-entourage will accompany the flag bearer and his steed. Beautiful horse drawn carriages, antique cars, llamas, dogs, 1 riesen horses, numerous other animals of all sizes and shapes, and colorful floats will lead the way for Santa. Additional festivities include See PARADE, Page A9 Rappahannock tourism group traffics in hard data BY RiXiKK PlANTADOSI Rappahannock News Start Writer If traffic estimates mean anything, then the best place to put a Rappahannock County visitor center may he next to the library on U S. 211 For it is there at Avondale farmhouse - one of the spots being considered - that 6,200 cars pass daily, more than anywhere else in the county. Traffic - or patterns of travel within and around the county - emerged as a key issue for the Rappahannock Tourism Group at its first meeting Fnday to come up with a place to put a county visitor center. The need for hard data was, 66 The majority of visitors are coming from the east side of the county, and are often headed into the park. - Aleta Gadino Gadmo Cellars among the many opinions expressed at the Washington Town Hall, perhaps the most notably agreed upon by all. “There’s a very strong view that it’s not sufficient to have only the single visitor center,” said Jay Brown, representing the Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association < WHVA ) on the ad hoc Tourism Group committee, as he cited the results of an informal sur vey of WHVA members. “Because of the physical layout of the road systems in Rappahannock County . . . if you put it in one location, what do we do about people who come into and exit the county without ever getting to that location?" Traffic volume estimates for 2008, the most recent available on the VDOT Web site, indicate that the highest average volume of traffic in the county - about 6,200 cars per day - is along a two-mileplus stretch between Massie's Comer and the eastern edge of the town of Washington. That stretch passes directly in front of only one of three proposed See CENTER, Page A9 State agency investigates power spikes SCC responds to service complaints in county By Roger Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer The State Corporation Commission has assigned an investigator to look into complaints of power spikes, outages and unreliable service for some Rappahannock County customers of Allegheny Power The investigator, associate utilities engineer Neil Joshipura, said he is still collecting information on the handful of “reliability” complaints he has received from Allegheny customers in the county this fall. He said it’s the responsibility of SCC’s energyregulation division, where he is assigned, to determine whether electric service is being provided reliably - and if not, to work with the power supplier to make the improvements needed to make it so. He has heard from three Allegheny customers, he said, after one of those with a reliability complaint posted his name and office phone number (804-225-3201) on Rappnet, the local email list-serve. But he also is looking into an Aug. 8 incident, primarily in Little Washington and nearby points west, when several Allegheny customers said a power surge knocked out utilities and caused, a spokesman for the group of 14 customers has said, “thousands of dollars" in damaged appliances, electronics and switches. Allegheny has denied any responsibility for the damages. Joshipura said such investigations are common and usually involve matching information provided by power company customers with reports the company must provide to SCC about specific “circuits” during the times when service is alleged to have been unreliable. He said the Washington complaints all stem from Allegheny’s Sperryville substation and could be related to the fact that several of the lines leading from the substation are “overbuilt” - meaning one power line is strung directly above another. The SCC is specifically investigating the reliability See POWER, Page A8 Board approves Hospice Plan Bv Don Df.i, Rosso Rappahannock News Staff Writer Hospice of the Rapidan can begin raising money next summer for a care house near Sumerduck for terminally ill people from Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Clearing the way for the Culpeper-based organization to go ahead with the multimillion-dollar project, Fauquier’s board of supervisors has unanimously approved three special permits for a planned two-story residential-style, 20,000-squarefoot building on Royalls Mill Road. Besides up to 10 beds for patients, the building would include offices, a kitchen, dining room and meeting spaa1 for counseling family members of clients Bob and Betty Niles, who live near Sumerduck, will donate a 14 6-acre site for the project Bob Niles, a re-tired lawyer, serves on the hospice board of directors. Hospice of Rapidan officials say the plannt-d house could cost $3.5 million to $5 million The project's worked its way through the county review process largely without a hitch Both the supervisors and the county planning See HOSPICE, Page A8 William Buntin 03700 23050 2 Rappahannock News P.O.

At a small, but powerful and heartwarming ceremony next to the pedestrian bridge at The Link community center, descendants of Sister Caroline Terry and members of the community gathered Nov. 17 to dedicate the Civil War Trails Memorial in her honor.

She witnessed the end of the Civil War, eventually became a free woman, land and homeowner in Sperryville and founded the Hopewell Baptist Church. In “Beyond The Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County” published in 2005, James Russell, Sperryville resident and great-grandson of Terry, recreated the life that his greatgrandmother lived and described his own experiences growing up in a segregated society. The publication of the book was instrumental in renewing interest in Sister Caroline. At the ceremony, Russell, 89, gave “Thanks to the good Lord for giving me the longevity to contribute to this little bit of history . . . .This is one more in a series of man’s efforts in making this a more perfect union.” Russell’s cousin, William Lee Jackson (his mother and Russell’s mother were sisters) sounded a particularly poignant note about the location of the marker. His family lived just across the river in Sperryville, but he and his siblings were not allowed to attend the then segregated school house. He experienced the dedication on the school grounds as “a great day for his family.” His sister, Caroline Patterson, recalled looking into her great-grandmother’s face that was without bitterness and filled with her “love for all.” Judy Tole gave a brief history of Terry’s life and described the level of proof needed for a marker. John Tole reminded us that freedom from oppression, remembrance of all slaves, redemption with the removal of slavery and movement toward forgiveness were all symbolized by this Civil War Trails Marker. All speakers expressed gratitude to those who contributed to the realization of the marker and to Cliff Miller for granting permission for its installation. Evergreen Shade (John Tole and Ann Howard) sang Civil War era songs. Rev. Anna Allsberry from the Hopewell Baptist Church gave the invocation . and the Benediction and noted “...somebody cared enough to create a memorial in her (Terry’s) name.” The Rappahannock News and the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL) present Your Next Best Friend: Shane I am a three-year-old mix of German shepherd and cattle dog just waiting for you to tell me what to do.

I am bright enough to know the movie, “Shane,” was released in 1953 and Joey— the kid who kept yelling, “Shane come back, Shane come back”—was played by Brandon de Wilde.

People are losing homes, people are losing jobs, people have seen their investments fade away. While many of us have had to adjust our lifestyle, tempering our prosperity should not mean tempering our thanks. If anything, the thanks we give this Thanksgiving should be heightened. These difficult times bind us together in observance — not to lament how much we have lost, but to acknowledge how much we have. Let’s consider what we have to be thankful for. Time with family. For all their foibles, we can’t live without them. Time with friends. They calm us down when things go right and pick us up when things go bad. Time with good neighbors. Like family, we didn’t choose them. But they help make life better and give us a sense of community. Time with our co->vorkers. We spend more of our waking hours with these people than anyone else. They enrich our lives and give us enormous pleasure and satisfaction in the workplace. Those with whom we worship. Regardless of the affiliation, there’s something soothing about spending time with spiritual kin. They remind us that we’re not alone. And offer a hand in a time of need. The strangers we encounter in our day-to-day lives. Those who rush to hold an open door for you, the driver who slows down to let you into the lane, the delivery person who carries a package up the stairs, the cheery store clerk who helps you locate a difficult-to-find item. Newspaper readers. We at the Rappahannock News continue to be thankful for the opportunity to come into your home every Thursday. We also recognize people in harm’s way. Young men and women in military uniforms. Police, fire and rescue people. Because they’re out there, we’re more safe. An elderly friend recently said she begins every morning by giving thanks for another day. We should all, no matter what our age, give thanks for the blessings we take for granted and be thankful for another day, especially one in beautiful Rappahannock. 2009 Citizen of the Year We are thankful to have as many citizens as we do who give so heartily to make our county a better place in which to live. They volunteer their time and expertise, give service to those in need, improve and protect the environment, mentor children, protect neglected pets and do whatever is needed when they see a need. We ask our readers to email or write us the names of citizens they feel should be nominated for Citizen of the Year and tell us why. The award is given annually by the Rappahannock News. This is a person who has gone above and beyond to contribute to the betterment of the county. Email the editor, Mary Ann Kuhn, at mkuhn@timespapers.com. The deadline for nominations is Dec. 10. Letters Plant a Row and The Pantry feed eight percent of the county MEALS-TO-WHEELS: As Food Pantry manager Mimi Forties checks in another car, volunteer Grade Tegler, a college student, loads in a 'turkey box” — enough turkey and fixings for the appropriatesized family, its contents donated by businesses, organizations and individuals in the county. The Food Pantry distributed some 180 of the boxes Monday and Tuesday in a »makeshift drive-through lane at its headquarters on Mount Salem Avenue in Washington. Rappahannock News Staff Photos Roger Piantadosi HELPING HANDS: Rappahannock Food Pantry volunteers (from left) Sarah Morgan, Erin Pollack, Pat Grigsby and Jed Duvall transfer donated frozen turkeys Monday afternoon from the cold drizzle on the front stoop to the freezer inside of the Food Pantry located on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington. The economy may be recovering but the jobless rate keeps going up. As a result, more and more Rappahannock residents are signing up for the food pantry. On Oct. 1, the numbers were 534 individuals and 192 households. That’s 7.52 percent of a population of 7,100. And the numbers continue to rise. We are surely over eight percent now. The response by the rest of us has been gratifying, bordering on overwhelming. More than 300 volunteers have contributed time at the pantry, produce from their gardens, meat from their lockers, or items purchased at retail stores. Financial donations have topped $10,000, including $1,000 from the Rappahannock National Bank for 200 Thanksgiving baskets, and proceeds from the Evening with Mark Twain. Churches and Sunnyside and Waterpenny farms are major contributors. 1 he pantry recently joined the rotation of food banks receiving venison from Hunters for the Hungry, and we will receive $400 on the sale of each desk reproduced from an antique desk in the courthouse. Looking to the future, Plant a Row acquired a 28-by72-foot commercial greenhouse to extend the growing season. (See http://PlantaRow. Rappahannock.com for weekly Plant a Row updates.) The future also presents serious challenges. Federal stimulus money that helps subsidize the pantry disappears on July 1. We will need to find $20,000 for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. Working together, I’m sure we can do that and more. Hal Hunter Amissville Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects. WRITE: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747 EMAIL: mkuhn@timespapers. com New community project: Senior Angel Tree Rappahannock County folks have another wonderful opportunity to give back to their community A new program has been launched called the Senior Angel Tree modeled after a similar, successful program in Culpeper. Participants at the Rappahannock Senior Center at Scrabble School, recipients of the RRCSB-AAA Home-Delivered Meals, and additional seniors recommended by Social Services will be given a designated “angel” to be hung on one of three trees throughout the county The angel will be assigned a number and will disclose only basic pertinent information about the senior; it will provide a wish list of ideas for a Christmas gift the senior would like to receive These “paper angels,” representing a real-life senior, can then be chosen by those in the community who would like to bless a senior this holiday season. A family or individual can adopt as many “angels” as they would like, shopping for each from the wish list included on each “angel.” No names pass hands, so it is a gift of love, later to be received by the senior assigned to that number angel. That way, each of the program’s seniors will receive a special gift, whether they have family or not. The trees are located at the Rappahannock Library, the Rappahannock National Bank, and Reynolds Memorial Church in Sperryville. Angels are available and will continue to be available until all of them have been adopted. Gifts need to be purchased, wrapped with the paper angel attached, and returned to any of the three tree locations, the Social Services office or the Rappahannock Sefiior Center at Scrabble School no later than Thursday, Dec. 17 to ensure delivery before Christmas. If you know of a Rappahannock senior that would truly benefit from a special gift this Christmas but does not attend the Senior Center, please contact Darcy Canton at 540-987-3638. Thank you, in advance, for your wholehearted support of the seniors. Darcy Canton Senior Center Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO November 27, 1969 A community Thanksgiving Day Service with the joint churches, Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist participating will be held Thursday, Nov. 27 at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville at 10 a.m. The Rev. William M. Hargett, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, is the main speaker. Amissville Run tan members who have eight years of perfect attendance with the organization are Roy Mills, John Lawrence, Edward Lawrence, Aubrey Curtis, Charlie Priest, Gilbert Lawrence, E. R. Hitt and Eddie J. Hitt. These men have either not missed a meeting, or if they did, made it up by attending a meeting of a neighboring club Mrs. Ruth Ann Eastham and Mrs. Rachael Frazier were hostesses to a housewarming for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Frazier of Washington on Saturday night, Nov. 15. Approximately 25 friends and relatives attended Mr. and Mrs. Frazier moved into their new home on the Fodderstack Road three weeks ago. 25 YEARS AGO November 15,1984 The Cabbage Patch Kids craze again is sweeping the country just in time for the holidays, and Rappahannock County also is being brushed by the phenomenon. Cabbage Patch Kids, registered and manufactured by COLECO, are dolls that normally retail between $29 and $35 “if you can get them,” says France* Foster, a former Rappahannock resident who sells Cabbage Patch Kids when she has some to sell. Joan St. Clair, proprietor of the Black Kettle Restaurant and Motel in Washington, is upset over the quality of the television reception at certain times in the town and the surrounding area. She was upset enough to begin a petition to send to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requesting that someone be sent to Washington to determine the cause of the problems and how to solve them. Janet Yancey of Viewtown accepted for Rappahannock the 1984 Challenge Award from Jane Roberts, state campaign chairman for the American Heart Association, during ceremonies in Richmond recently. Representing thousands of outstanding volunteers and hundreds of localities in Virginia, 65 Heart Association volunteers accepted the awards for “Over the Top," “Challenge," and “Special Achievement" in ceremonies at the state headquarters of the American Heart Association. 10 YEARS AGO November 17,1999 Michael T. Brown passed the board exam this past spring. Now he is becoming an associate attorney in Washington at Douglas Baumgardner’s law office. Brown feels that practicing law in this setting will be vastly more interesting, because he will be able to practice many different kinds of law. After an eight year run, Mary Carlson will close her bed and breakfast, Blue Knoll Farm, the week before Christmas. She has had a long successful career with her B & B. But the business has kept her away from seeing her grandchildren grow up. Carlson’s decision to close has been difficult as she has enjoyed it so much. She says, “There’ll be days I’ll felt I shouldn’t have closed. But my gut feeling is that it’s time to do it. The real reason is I am prioritizing and my family is my top priority.” Pursuing the issue raised by Council member Alice Butler at its October meeting, the Washington Town Council discussed the possibility of regulating helicopter landings within town boundaries. Town attorney John Bennett presented relevant portions of the Culpeper town and county codes for reference. Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

Lady Panthers on the prowl as basketball season opens Monday By Melissa Weeks Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Varsity Basketball Lady Panthers are on the prowl for a great season. With their new coach, Donald O’Meara, the girls are anticipating an exciting time of growth. Two seniors, three juniors and three eighth graders will be dribbling for varsity Rappahannock County High School. “We are a young team, but this is exciting for the future,” said O’Meara. “Yes, we will have growing pains because we are young and because we are changing a lot of things.” One of the changes is to work on “mind set and mentality.” The girls are definitely energized by the coach’s lessons. O’Meara presents inspiring concepts like: “Set your expectations for yourself. Don’t let others set them for you!” These maxims will drive the psychology of play for the Panthers and help them confront the court pressures to achieve their victories. Practice is on full power for its second week. The Ladies are giving their all every weekday for an hour and 45 minutes each session. OMeara said that “prac tices thus far have consisted of fundamentals and defense. The most important things for the team to be successful are: playing smart, taking care of the ball and developing a strong defense. We hope to get some plays in the book this week and get ready for our first game.” In addition to the mind set and the fundamentals, the Lady Panthers await news of their starting line-up and their appointed captain. “Leadership roles and starting positions are all up in the air. Every girl is working hard to find her spot, said the coach.

Hospic? From Page A1 commission, a land-use advisory panel, endorsed the project the night of their public hearings. The supervisors’ approval came Nov. 12. In September, the planners unanimously recommended the project’s approval. It can take many months of review before the commission and board act on a land-use proposal. But hospice’s planning consultant, Carson/Ashley of Warrenton, seemed encouraged that the planners and the supervisors would move the proposal through the process in prompt fashion, the nonprofit’s executive director Kathy Clements said. “I had listened to people who have gone through this, and they said all the signs looked good,” Clements said. “'But you never know. I hoped the decisions would be made quickly.” “It will do wonders for this organization” and the community it serves, Supervisor Ray Graham (Cedar Run District) said of the proposed care house. Tm really grateful for what you mean to our community,” board chairman Holder Trumbo (Scott District) said. Hospice of Rapidan annual ly cares for about 300 people, half of whom live in Fauquier. Besides Rappahannock, it also serves residents of Culpeper, Orange and Madison counties. Terming the board’s decision “huge,” Clements said the organization still has “a lot of work ahead” of it. Hospice next will seek county approval for its site plan, a series of detailed documents that, among other things, deal Compassionate & Dignified End-of-Life Care % ire^A Hospice Of the Rapidan 18th Annual Tree of Lights Celebrations Rappahannock County November 30th 6:30 PM Rappahannock National Bank 7 Bank Road, Washington Fauquier County December 7th 6:00 PM The Fauquier Bank 10 Courthouse Sq., Warrenton Culpeper County December 9th 5:30 PM StellarOne 102 S.

Before it can launch a capital campaign in mid-2010, Clements said the organization must prepare itself for the fundraising effort. “This will be something new for our organization to do,” the executive director said. “It will take a lot internally to make sure we’re ready.” Hospice probably will hire a consulting firm to help start the fundraising campaign, Clements said. Partly because of the reces sion, she said it would be difficult to say how long it might take to collect $3.5 million or more, she said. “I think once we get started we’ll have a better idea" about a time line for achieving the fundraising goal, Clements said. The planned hospice house at Sumerduck would employ eight people, including two around-the-clock workers. Founded in 1983, the hospice employs about 35 full and part timers at the Culpeper office, which it will continue to maintain. It also has about 110 volunteers. Power From Page A1 claims over which it has jurisdiction and enforcement powers, Joshipura said. It does not have the same jurisdiction over damage claims - specifically, that of the 14 customers gathered into a loose alliance called ZAP (Zapped by Allegheny Power) by lawyer Allan Rexinger and Foster Harris House owners John and Diane MacPherson. Damage claims often turn up reliability problems, Joshipura said, just as a reliability investigation can turn ■up information useful to damage claims. But since the SCC has no formal role in settling damage claims, he said, the most he can do to help damage claimants is to provide the information he’s found and counsel the customers in using it to pursue any civil suit they may pursue.

Center From Page A1 sites for a county visitor center - the empty but county-owned Avondale farmhouse next to the library on U.S. 211/522, site of a newly paved parking lot and lighted tourist kiosk made possible by a matching grant for the Civil War Trails program. According to the VDOT estimates, traffic along 211/522 decreases steadily to 4,900 as it approaches The Link community center in Sperryville, at which point about half the volume is heading to or from Culpeper on 522. Average daily traffic volume along 211 between Sperryville and Skyline Drive is about 2,500, according to VDOTs 2008 estimates. However, a private traffic count conducted along 211 just east of the Sperryville Emporium for about a month ending Nov. 8, proved that for certain events and during serendipitous weather, those numbers .can change dramatically. in ngures submitted by bob Bridges to the Tourism Partners group after last week’s meeting, the count showed that on Oct. 25 - a beautiful Sunday that followed a rainy and cold Saturday at the peak of foliage - the average daily traffic count going to and from Shenandoah National Park was 8,388. Park spokesperson Karen Beck-Herzog, who also serves on the tourism committee, said the gateskeepers at Thornton Gap that day eventually had to give up on collecting admission fees and just let cars drive through, to alleviate a backup that stretched some distance down 211. “It was the first time anyone who works there could remember us ever having to do that at Thornton Gap,” she said. A suggestion by tourism committee member and Washington Town Councilman John Sullivan - that someone should check with VTX)T for traffic counts - came toward the start of the meeting chaired by county tourism consultant Laura Overstreet. Overstreet said after site visits next week and another meeting, the group would try to formulate a recommendation on visitor center sites for the Board of Supervisors before the end of the year. “This is good news that we're all here to talk about a visitor center," Overstreet told the group. “Wherever it is, it needs to be highly visible ... it should be handicapped accessible and should have ample parking, restrooms . .. and the mission is not just to have a place for brochures, but really this is a concierge service. It’s important that whoever the staff are, maybe volunteers, or a combination of volunteer and paid staff, whatever works - but these people need to have a hands-on familiarity with the county.” County administrator John McCarthy, who wasn’t at the meeting, has said there is no money in the budget for visitor center construction or staffing, at least not for the next year or two. The supervisors asked the Tourism Partners group for a recommendation after it received two proposals by others to build and host a visitor center. ihus the group heard sitespecific presentations by Rappahannock Non-Profit Center (RNPC) board chairwoman Alexia Morrison and Rappahannock Natural Foods Cooperative owner Jerome Niessen. Both are willing to make room for a visitor center, the RNPC at its Link community center at US. 211 and 522 in Sperryville, Niessen at the retail/arts center he’s planning to open in the spring at the former Sperryville Antiques Market building a few’ blocks away off Water Street. Besides the location issue, two “themes” that Brown said were evident in responses to his quick email survey of WHVA members, were: the visitor center should be located at a “neutral, non-business location," and management of the center should be by some impartial board, association or committee, “so that all businesses to be served by a visitor center are confident that they're going to be treated equally.” Sullivan added that not just getting traffic volume but pattern information, possibly from B&B and other tourist businesses - such as how many visitors come from the east, how many from the north or west, Parade From Page A1 the unique Artisans’ Market, from 10 a m. - 4 p.m., where more than 30 Virginia craftsmen and artisans wdll show and sell their creations at the Washington Town Hall and the RAAC Community Theatre. The market is a wonderful place to do holiday shopping for those important people on your list. Professional magician Steve Kish will provide 45minutes of highly energetic entertainment, interactive comedy and wondrous magic at the “Magic Show” held in the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church at 2 p m. - For tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Santa will be on hand at the Stoneyman Gourmet Farmer gazebo, between Main and Gay streets from 2-3 p m. to hear their Christmas wishes. Each child will receive a toy from Santa. Delicious food will be available throughout the town including Brunswick Stew at Washington Baptist Church, Etlan Bar-B-Q at the comer of Gay and Warren streets and goodies from Stoneyman Gourmet Farmer.

Gadino also said Gray Ghost Vineyard, further east in Amissville, has been surveying visitors for many years and that - as Gray Ghost co-owner Cheryl Kellert confirmed in a phone interview yesterday — “they are almost always headed somewhere else, either to the park, or The Inn at Little Washington, or Luray ” MOXM; Center Premium feed ... manufactured locally and so much more!

• Classifieds/67-8 Thursday, November 26, 2009 Has 21st century agriculture arrived in Rappahannock? Niche co-op founder Alan Zuschlag thinks so By Roger Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Co-op” is not a new word in farm country. On the other hand, words like “natural,” “organic,” “grass-fed” and “sustainable” are all relatively new but growing fast around the world, in both popularity and actual implementation. And when combined with the old-reliable cooperative concept, some say, the result just might spell the future of agriculture in Rappahannock County. At least the local farmers and businessmen behind Rappahannock Natural Foods Cooperative - and Rappahannock Farms, the grass-fed lamb co-op it grew out of - are betting a bit more than the farm on it. * When he bought his first 25 acres off South Poes Road 12 years ago, “I was just a naive city boy from D C.,’' says Alan Zuschlag, a local realtor and owner of Touchstone Farms, the niche farm that this year begat the four-member Rappahannock Farms grassfed lamb cooperative. Though naive about the realities of farming, however, Zuschlag had spent many years at the World Bank specializing in agricultural economics. “I decided that it would be good if I began a little experiment for myself.” The experiment has proven profitable thus far, he says; the two Clun Forest sheep Zuschlag started with have grown to a herd of almost 100, rotationally grazing across 110 acres. Zuschlag says he now prodifees 150 to 200 lambs per season. (The grassfed lamb selling season gener RappahannocK News Staff Photo. Roger P:antadosi CO-OP SHEPHERD: Touchstone Farm owner Alan Zuschlag visits with his “guard donkey," Phoebe, who keeps stray dogs, coyotes and foxes away from his herd of 100 Clun Forest sheep on his Amissville farm, one of four farms that make up the Rappahannock Farms grass-fed lamb cooperative. ally runs from early spring through late fall.) “My idea was to work within the county’s comprehensive plan and with what I saw as 21st-century agriculture for small farmers," he says. “Small farms are dying out everywhere - though it was one of the last big sections of the U.S. economy to be ‘rationalized,™ he says, using the economist’s term for what became Big Agriculture - mechanized, mass-produced food. What this opened up, he says, are specialty markets - niche products that mass-mar ket agriculture doesn't offer. He was lucky on two counts, he says: first, that the market for natural, humanely fanned meat would expand eponentially beyond what he thought was an already sophisticated local market in Rappahannock; and second, that Clun Forest sheep, a hill breed which originated in Britain’s Shropshire region, would be “the perfect breed for this area" They eat grass, he says, and so the economies of “minimal input” - economist-speak for no additives, hormones, feeds, antibiotics, etc. — would not make the operation less costly but the products more attractive to those who can afford to pass up the mass-market alternative.

Middle Street Gallery celebrates ‘light’ Special holiday show begins Dec. 4 The Middle Street Gallery, a 20-person artists’ cooperative based in Rappahannock County, will hold a special holiday group show from Dec. 4 - 27 at the gallery in Washington.

Reflecting the diversity of gallery remembers, works of art will include oil paintings, watercolors, mixed media collages, photographs and sculpture. Member Linda Tarry, for example, will offer a brightly colored and highly whimsical 'Reflection' by Gary Anthes picture-sculpture made mostly of pieces of china and tile. It shows a young woman rising happily out of a tea cup filled with feathers. “The blissful look on the woman’s face, with the daisyon her hat, inspired the celestial theme of the piece,” Tarrysays. “I dug around in my studio and found pieces of blue ceramic flowers, stars, ceramicchickens, a duck, plastic arms 'New Wave' by Joanne Levine and a teacup. As a final touch. I added the feathers, and there it was, Daisy in the Sky With Feathers.’ Perfect ” Photographer Joanne Levine will show a stunning abstract piece called “New Wave,” in electric shades of blue, green and aqua, that started out as a wall hanging in a restaurant Gary* Anthes will offer a photograph taken at Kentuck Knob, Pa. The image, called simply “Reflection,” shows a brilliantly lit yellow maple branch overhanging a dark pond and reflected in it. Says Anthes, “1 approached this very dark pond late in the day and this one branch had Daisy in the Sky With Feathers by Linda Tarry caught the final rays of the sun and was just glowing It was magical " Come see the light, at the gallery, which is located next to The Inn at Little Washington Hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a m. to 6 p m For more information, visit the Web site at www middlestreetgalleryorg or call the gallery on weekends at 540-675-3440 Jazz guitar duo returns to The Theatre in Washington Dec. 5 By Wendy Weinberg Special to the Rappahannock New a After a long absence, the jazz guitar duo of Frank Vignola and Gene Bertoncini returns to the Theatre at Washington, Virginia to perform a concert Saturday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. Each of the musicians is individually popular with the Theatre’s audience and, together, their concert appears headed for a sell out. The guitarists gather plaudits from the press wherever they travel: Mike Joyce, writing in The Washington Post, about a Blues Alley concert on one of Bertoncmi’s “all too infrequent visits to town" noted that he “combined great artistry with good humor, moving from the sublime I pieces by Bach, Chopin, Jobim, Billy Strayhom, Richard Rodgers and Hoagy Carmichael I to the ridiculous (jokes plenty) and back again;" “Bertoncini is the ultimate in good taste, “ L A. Jazz Scene; “It seems that only beautiful sounds emanate from Gene Bertoncini’s guitar," says The New Yorker. Of Frank Vignola, The New York Times said “[he] is one of the brightest of the young guitar stars;” a review in The Boston Globe commented, “How versatile is Frank Vignola? He's collaborated with Lionel Hampton and Madonna, covers Mozart and Black Sabbath on the same record and is one of Les Paul’s favorite guitarists.” Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. It is already heavily subscribed and reservations are suggested. For reservations, or to obtain a copy of the Theatre's schedule, phone (540) 6751253, send an email to TheatreVA@aol.com, or write to The Theatre, 291 Gay Street, Washington, Virginia 22747. Frank Vignola Blue Ridge Chorale brings Christmas music to Theatre The Blue Ridge Chorale will bring its annual Christmas celebration to The Theatre at Washington, Virginia on Dec 4 at 8 p m It will be the chorale’s fourth Christmas concert there Under the leadership of Virginia Erwin. Chorale Director, a talented group of 28 singers will bring a magical blend of traditional Christmas music. After an instrumental prelude where the keyboard and wind accompanists will shine as soloists in their own right, the men, the women, the Youth Choir and the Chorale Chamber Chorus will make their separate entrances, combining and separating again as the program unfolds. In the latter part of the evening the audience will be invited to add their voices and enthusiasm to those of the chorale in two familiar carols. From a 16th-century “Sanctus" to Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride," from traditional English carols like “The Holly and the Ivy" and “What Child is This?" to French, Irish and Trinidadian melodies, the spirit of Christmas resounds. Of course. J S Bach and G F Handel are well represented. See THEATRE, Page B6

Psalm 23: J must have comforted them on their arduous journey "... He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for He name's sake.” Because those brave men and women paved the way for our religious freedom, we need only walk down the street or drive acre* town to worship.

When it feels appropriate it can also help to punctuate sympathetic words with a hug If small talk helps a visitor feel more comfortable, it should be kept to a minimum.

Community mourns passing of former sheriff, state trooper Our sympathy goes out to the family of William Buntin, 94, of Washington. Mr. Buntin passed away on Saturday after a lengthy struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. Buntin served as a Virginia State Trooper for over 29 years. Following his retirement from the state police in 1975, he won the election for Rappahannock County sheriff' that year and was elected for a second term in 1979. After officially retiring he continued to help Sheriff. John Woodward with bailiff duties for several years.

Funeral sendees were held at Trinity Episcopal Church on Tuesday with the Rev. Jennings Hobson III conducting Interment was followed in the Washington Masonic Cemetery He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Lunch Bunch Ben Jones, known to many of us as “Cooter," recently hosted his Lunch Bunch buddies at his home in Harris Hollow with lunch catered by Stoneyman Gourmet Farmer of Little Washington. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal. The Lunch Bunch meets daily at local restaurants. Ben underwent surgery last week and is recuperating in D C. Shop with a Deputy The Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office will be sponsoring the 14th annual“Shop with a Deputy" program this Christmas season for some of the county’s most needy children. There’s still time for you to contribute to this very worthy program which affords a special time for children who would miss out on some holiday fun due to circumstances beyond a family’s financial Washington Jan Clatterbuck 675-3338 |^jclatterbuck@ timespapers.com control. Once children are selected and permission is received they will be paired with a uniformed officer who will assist the children with their purchases The children will be driven to K-Mart in Front Royal where they can purchase $100 worth of merchandise for themselves or their families. Once the shopping is completed, the children will have an opportunity to eat breakfast with the officers and visit with Santa Claus. The program has been an incredible success the last 13 years and hopes are that it will continue in that fine tradition and be even better this year. Town party The Town of Washington will have its Christmas party potluck on Sunday. Dec. 13 at the Town Hall on Gay Street at 5:30 p.m. The party is for the town businesses and residents.

Co-op From Page B1 Farms partners are Brindabella Farm, a partnership of Bruce Vaughn and Patty O’Brien and farmer Jonathan Neill-Dore; Sharon Pierce’s Oak Forest Farm; and Stoney Meadows, the 147-acre farm owned by Jerome Niessen and Lucille Wampler Niessen. It is Niessen who plans to_ open the Rappahannock Natural Foods Cooperative retail store as part of the Farm and Art Market he’s now building in the former Sperryville Antiques Market off Water Street in Sperryville. “Jerome wanted to take it one step further and offer other products,” Zuschlag says. This includes both organic and grassfed beef, poultry and locally grown produce. Niessen has said he plans to open the retail store next spring as part of a complex he hopes will include artist studio space, a cafe and possibly a small brewery. He has also offered to build and staff a Rappahannock County Visitor Center there. Meanwhile, the Rappahannock Natural Foods Cooperative plans soon to open its retail Web site - which, like Zuschlag’s original Web site, is how the co-op reaches customers outside the area, principally in greater Washington, D.C., where customers can schedule home deliveries or convenient pickup points. The www.raf.coop Web site is being built by Tobey Wheelock of Sperryville’s Wheelock Web Works. The lamb producers’ Web site is www.rappfarmsva.com. Theatre From Page B1 the latter with not just one but two “Hallelujah’s.” The melody of Pachelbel’s Canon in D will sound familiar to many but here beautiful prayer words have been added, ending again in an uplifting “Alleluia.” And the audience can test its familiarity with the music of many ages, as the chorale romps through “A Musicological Journey through the Twelve Days of Christmas." The Youth Choir, expertly and lovingly prepared by Cathy ter Weele, will delight the audience with “Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming” from the 17th century, as well as two songs by currently active composers. Tickets are $10 per adult, $5 per child, family tickets for two adults and any number of children over five are $25, and can be obtained at the door, by calling 675-3502 for reservations, or via Paypal at www.brcsings.com.
