A-***' 75 c 131st Year ... No. 49 Washington, Va. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2009 (540) 675-3338 www.RArrstwvi. o\t No longer on the fence Farmers take sides on Chesapeake Bay cleanup By R(x;f,r Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer Would saving the bay mean losing Rappahannock cattle farming? Since the Obama administration made cleaning up the waters of the Chesapeake a high priority and re-energized the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPAi Chesapeake Bay Program earlier this year, the issue has troubled many farmers in the bay’s vast watershed - including those few dozen here who run mostly lowdensity, fitfully profitable livestock and hay operations amid the hills and headwaters of the watershed’s westernmost edge. Yesterday the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation tVFBF), meeting for its annual convention in Richmond, held a press conference to vow “to oppose unaffordable, one-sizefits-all federal and state mandates.” “Reauthorization of the Chesapeake Bay Program is a good thing, and this organization believes in it,” said VFBF lobbyist Wilmer Stoneman. "But when you add Total Daily Maximum Loads or give EPA the authority to regulate every molecule of water, that’s unacceptable" VFBF’s ardor yesterday seems to draw a line in the soil, so to speak, and thus evoke solidarity among its member farms statewide. Here in Rappahannock, however - and not surprisingly - solidarity is a bit more . . . diversified. Some farmers believe, as See FARMING, Page A10 Rappahannock News Statt Pnoic Roger P aniacics.

Rappahannock News Start Photo Roger PiantaOcs> Breathing room On Dec. 1, the first day of Virginia's indoor smoking ban. Flint Hill's Griffin Tavern found it could keep open the doors to the bar, formerly a smokers' haven. The restaurant, which has outdoor heaters on the deck for those who haven't yet quit, expects more customers will now want to have dinner in the pub says owner Debbie Donehey. Sheriff’s Office sponsors Shop with a Deputy program By Tow S:-k Special to the Kxippvihatinock NVw > The Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office is sponsoring its 19th annual “Shop with a Deputy" Christmas program on Dec 12 for some of the county'* most needy citizens. With the holiday season here, the goal is to make Christmas a very special time for children who would miss out on some holiday fun due to circumstances beyond a family’s financial-control. The Sheriff’s Office, in. conjunction with other county representatives, will select children whose families have little or no funds for the Christmas holidays. Once the participating children are selected, the parents are contacted for their approval and permission for their child to attend The children will meet at the Sheriff’s Office where they will be paired up with a uniformed officer who will assist the children with their purchases I he children will then be driven to k-Mart in brunt 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 at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department with the officers and visit with Santa Claus. While the children eat breakfast, volunteers w rap the presents the children selected. The parents will return to the fire department to pick up the children, their wrapped presents and a food basket for each family. This program has been an incredible success in the past and the Sheriffs Office hopes to continue this success. Citizens and business owners are asked to help by sponsoring a child. All contributions will go toward the enrichment of Rappahannock children’s lives. This is not a tax deductible contribution. The Sheriff’s Office is very excited about this project and hopes to involve at least 80 children this year The Sheriffs Office thanks everyone in advance for their support Mail contributions to: Shop with a Deputy.

Walsh Rappahannock News Staff Writer Tareq and Michaele Salahi might have been anywhere during the early evening of Nov. 12, but the one-time Fauquier couple’s presence was certainly felt in the meeting room of the Warren Green Building in Warrenton when the supervisors met that night to hold a public hearing. A new winery ordinance was on the agenda, and the passionate, sometimes contentious debate about what it should contain, and why, was covered with the Salahis’ fingerprints. Fauquier County deputies were frequent visitors to the Salahis’ Oasis Winery near Hume when it was in full swing before declaring bankruptcy Rappahannock News P.O. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540) 675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) early in 2008, responding to neighbors' numerous complaints (92 between January 2006 and the present) about noise, about fireworks and rock bands, about traffic, about parties lasting through the night in the otherwise serene northern Fauquier countryside. As the world has learned in the last week, Tareq and Michaeie Salahi don’t like to be ..constrained, so they went to Richmond to lobby for a change in the law spelling out how localities regulate wineries. They were successful, as evidenced by Fauquier County’s having to pen a new ordinance — and the travails the county has come up against in doing so. “On the positive side, Tareq was very instrumental in getting state law changed to reflect the underlying agricultural basis of wine production," said Brian Reeder, owner of Barrel Oak Winery near Delaplane. “While he may have had an abusive relationship with Fauquier County, he played a very beneficial role at the state level in identifying the core issue that wineries are agricultural businesses." Chris Pearmund, proprietor of Photo by Aiise Booze Troetscbei HARO TIMES: There was little sign of life on the vines when this photograph of Oasis Winery near Hume was taken last week. There's little sign of life at the winery during the rest of the year. Broad run’s FVarmund Cellars and a partner in Vint Hill Craft Winery, agreed. Two years ago Tareq Salahi was “directly involved," in the effort to change state law, "and basically was the one wfcio hand-earned (legislative changes] through" the Virginia General Assembly, Fearmund said "I spent a lot of time in Richmond, but he was definitely the head honcho." he added See SALAHIS, Page A6 Cup sponsors split on support of 2010 event Salahi 'under consideration' for cast of ‘ Housewives’ show By Lai ra Ri hy Rappahannock Nows Staff W riter It is not uncommon for athletes or entertainers to lose sponsors when they become involved in illegal or unflattering antics. In the case of Tareq and Michaele Salahi’s America’s Cup of Mo. however, it appears that at least two major sponsors abandoned the event even before news of the couples uninvited visit to the Whitt* House broke last week. Despite the fact that Land Rover and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company are identified prominently on a Web site promoting the June* 2010 America's Polo Cup World Championship, representatives from both companies said this week that their See EVENT, Page A8

Kramer takes first in 4-H Chili Cook-off By Jenny Kapsa Special to the Rappahannock News Good music, good food, and a spirit of community was enjoyed by all at this year’s fourth annual Chili Cook-off and Bluegrass Festival Nov. 15 hosted by the Rappahannock County 4-H Livestock Club. Bluegrass bands “Five of a Kind" and the “Courtney Hollow Band" played toe-tapping music in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium. The chili contestants set up their booths in the “commons” area of the high school where this year there were three chili contestants: Kevin Day, Peter Kramer, and Jenny Kapsa. Peter Kramer came in first place with the best chili. Apple pie contest The 4-H Teen Club hosted an apple pie contest and the winners were: First Place: Maybelle Smith; Second Place: Karen Bear; and Third Place: John McMahon. The 4-H Cloverbud Club sold baked goods and held a cake walk. Members of the 4-H Livestock Club sold hot dogs and drinks, and the 4-H Weavers’ Basket Club members sold beautiful reed ornaments made by their club members. Wanda Clatterbuck sold handmade jewelry and her daughter, Kelli Moss, passed out information about the Marriott Ranch.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com CAC THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2009 Person to remember When William A. Buntin left our world Nov. 21 at the age of 94, he left behind a void. For those who didn't know him personally, it may only be through a reading of the old newspapers in our library that one would get some idea of how much he contributed to the community - as a V irginia State Trooper for nearly three decades, and sheriff of our beautiful county for two terms. In the early days, he was the only trooper assigned here, and was responsible for law and order countywide. We at the Rappahannock News will miss his visits to the office and seeing him walk to the post office each day. When he retired from the Sheriff’s Office, we remember the photographs taken in the courthouse, and the proud smile on his face. We would like to remember him that way always. Fameball fiasco Tareq and Michaele Salahi have created their own reality show, but it may be more real than they bargained for. While making national and international headlines last week with their brazen crash of the White House State Dinner, they successfully upstaged Tiger Wood’s crash into a tree. Dick Cheney’s possible run for president and any focus on U.S./India relations. v\ nue introduced to the world tor the tirst time, neighboring Fauquier County is quite familiar with the Salahis and their contentious relationship with Tareq's parents over the dispensation of Oasis Winery in Hume, and their trail of lawsuits — many to do with various charitable foundations. Up as candidates for Bravo’s "Real Housewives of Washington, D C.,’ the Salahis have definitely marketed themselves as members of the world's “beautiful people.” and clearly they look the part. But they may have marketed themselves into criminal charges that could land them behind bars. It is lamentable that while our president sends more troops to Afghanistan, his own Secret Service is now being scrutinized for this clear breach of security in his own home. It is a sad day for America when the camera-hungry glitterati can capture more of our nation’s attention than the troops overseas, the healthcare reform debate or the travails of millions of jobless who are facing a less-than-happv holiday. Out of the attic The Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville is absolutely awesome in the evenings. Over a thousand lights are displayed on the tree which was donated by Moose Hill Farm at Slate Mills. (The photo and caption ran in the Dec. 1. 1999 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Rappanartnock News Photo Carl Eborn Letters Addressing what’s wrong with ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ We write in response to an Oct 29 letter to the editor in which Sean Cordani advocates for “Don’t Ask, Don't Tell," claiming it protects "homosexuals’ while "making those that are not [gay or lesbian] feel comfortable within the service.” It’s disheartening to hear this type of Jim Crow-reasonmg in 2009. While this form of discrimination may be different. the rationale is exactly the same as that used by opponents of racial integration of the military in the 1940s: that the presence of black military members would make white soldiers feel uncomfortable and that exclusionary policies were therefore needed to protect black service members. We will hear more of this rationale in the “Don't Ask! Don’t Tell” debate, as special interest groups hone their message to elicit the most negative feelings possible against gay people In contrast. we believe policy should be based on facts and the experience of military members, not fear or misinformation. Since its inception in 1994, nearly 13,000 men and women have been discharged from the military simply for being gay under “Don't Ask, Don’t Tell." Included in that number are at least 59 Arabic and nine Farsi linguists, who were providing critical sendees in our nation’s war against the terrorists. Countless others have been drummed out in witch hunts that have cost US. taxpayers nearly $400 million. At additional cost to our country, many more have left at the end of their terms because of the painful ethical dilemma this han imposes. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" requires gay military members to lie as a condition of military service - to their leaders, family members, close friends, doctors, even - one. For military members, who believe in the military’s core value of integrity, this is untenable. This ban also requires straight military members to violate their integrity by “looking the other way.' As Vice Adm Jack Shanahan, U. S. Navy, was quoted in a recent National Defense University article, “Everyone was living a big lie - the homosexuals were trying to hide their sexual orientation and the commanders were looking the other way because they didn't want to disrupt operations by trying to enforce the law" Mr Cordani sidesteps these inconvenient facts Instead, his opinion piece reads like the plavbook from anti-gav interest groups. In keeping with timeworn tactics that propound discrimination, he tries to justify “separate but equal" by painting false stereotypes of gay military members as “different" and suggests they are unable to put count ry and duty first. In fact, gay people have served in militaries across the world for ages and want nothing more than to be treated the same as straight military members. As we write, gay men and lesbians are shedding their blood in Iraq and Afghanistan to defend our country and the First Amendment right of people like Mr. Cordani to publish his opinion piece. What a cruel irony. The same men and women he believes shouldn’t serve — or. worse yet. who should sen e as second class soldiers — are dying on foreign battlefields to protect his right to deride their service and tell them they are not worthy. While history is bound to repeat itself, lagotrv shouldn't be recycled in any form. Michelle Benecke U.S. Army veteran Sperryville Jimmy Williams 1989 graduate of The Citadel (The Military College of South Carolina) Viewtown Hunters needed to donate venison to Food Pantry If you are a hunter and would like to donate venison to the Rappahannock food pantry, take your deer to Blue Ridge Meats just north of Front Royal. Tell them you want to donate the meat to the Rappahannock pantry. They will process the deer at no charge and call me when it's ready. Blue Ridge Meats is a member of Hunters for the Hungry, a state-wide pro gram that pays processing fees for meat that is donated to food banks. Last Tuesday I pickl'd up 750 pounds of venison. including some nice roasts. That goes with the 400 pounds I got just before Thanksgiving. Yours could be next. Blue Ridge Meats is at 2391 Guard Hill Road, also known as State Route 637, the firft left after you go across the bridge north of Front Royal and just before Interstate 66 Its phone number is 540-636-6050. If you aren't a hunter but would like to donate financial support, send a tax-deductible check to Hunters for the Hungry, P.O. Box 304, Big Island, Virginia 24526. Forty dollars will process one deer and yield 50 {xiunds of venison.

Michelle, Johnny & Hunter Jenkins Project Rainbow Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO December 4,1969 The Washington schoolhouse and property, sold at auction recently, was purchased by Col. Earl Holmes for the high bid of $20,500. The sale has been approved by the local school board but must be confirmed by Judge Elliott Marshall. Skyline Ski area, Washington, is rapidly gearing itself for the coming season. Under new ownership and management, Skyline Ski area has taken a new lease on life Work is proceed-. mg rapidly toward a vastly improved operation with improved mechanical facilities and an enlarged snow-making plant. Everything points to one of the best if not the best season Skyline has ever had. The area is under the management of Col. Evan A. McNear who invites Virginians to become skiers at Skyline. David L. Pullen of Washington proudly bagged his 499-pound black bear on Thanksgiving Day in Gid Brown Hollow He spotted the huge beast while hunting in the mountain on his father’s farm and fired once with his 270 rifle The animal went several steps and sat down then got up and started toward him. He fired the second shot and felled the bear. It was necessary to get the farm tractor and haul Bruin out of the mountain. 25 YEARS AGO November 22, 1984 Lottie Aylor recently found a surprise in Mrs. W. M. Fletcher’s garden to add to the Thanksgiving meal. Aylor picked about a pint of butter beans, and they will make a fine addition to the dinner. “Lottie is a garden wizard, and she can raise and find things in the garden that no one knows are there,” said Mrs. Fletcher. Aylor also operates a catering business with her daughter, Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bachi of WoodviHe discovered an appropriate note in their backyard on Nov. 15. the day of the Great American SmokeOut. A postcard, tied to a balloon that had burst and fallen onto their lawn, read: “1 don’t like smoking because it kills-you and gives you cancer. It’s very dangerous to your health.” The note was signed by Sue Allen, Grade 4, North Franklin School, Washington, Pa. There was no date on the postcard telling when the fresh-air message was launched. Mr Bachi promptly returned the postcard to the school, however Armssville Postal Clerk Eleanor J. Atkins has been promoted to a higher level postal clerk position at the Warrenton Post Office, Amissville Postmaster C. S. Munday announced last week. Mrs. Atkins will assume her new responsibilities on Nov. 24, according to a United States Postal Service (USPS) press release. 10 YEARS AGO November 24, 1999 Jerry and Sherri Mills opened the Amissville Consignment Shop on Saturday, Oct 30. The shop is located in what used to be a beauty parlor. On sale is what Mr. Mills describes as “antiques and collectibles " This is Mr Mills’ first foray into the consignment business Previously, he has owned an auto repair shop and still will operate his excavating business. The Rappahannock County Planning Commission met at the courthouse on Nov 17 to review four applications for approval The commission denied Elizabeth Lee-Harris’ application to rezone a 36.4- acre plot of land from agricultural to rural residential, with the intent to subdivide the property into five different plots of land in Sperryville. The commission decided to pass to the Board of Zoning Appeals the application from Harmon Lee and Joan F. Dyer to build a family apartment on their property In the Peyton Farms division of Washington. The commission approved Kevin Day’s application to convert an existing dwelling for use as a real estate office. Also it approved an application by Dave Gillis to amend a zoning ordinance to allow residential care facilities in a conservation zoning district. With all the villages in Rappahannock County and speed limits varying from 25 mph to 55 mph on major routes, Sheriff Larry Sherertz and his deputies are cracking down on speeding violations. Sherertz reports, “There is a ' problem as far as I’m concerned My deputies have idle or discretionary time during the day and they focus on problematic areas, for burglary protection and for speeding enforcement in the villages " Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

"The general opinion among wineries here is that those activities 'poisoned the well’ in terms of wineries’ relationships with their neighbors. In the time since, some people continue to fight to restrict winery activities, and in that sense, all [wineries] have been hurt by the Salahis.

Individually, she has been called a former supermodel, Washington Redskins cheerleader, and arbiter of style and fashion. He is referred to as an international playboy and accomplished polo player on the field and, as an organizer, a major player off it, as well. As the week progressed, many of the details of those characterizations have been called into question. No industrious reporters among the hundreds working the story’ of the Salahis' crash of a White House State Dinner last Tuesday have yet unearthed any evidence of a modeling career, certainly not one that could in any way be characterized as “super."

The polo that he plays and over which he presides, students of the game largely agree, is much more modest than a casual onlooker is led to believe, and its international bona fides are shaky. For Beautiful People with an apparently insatiable yearn for the limelight, the Salahis’ view out their rearview mirror is not a very pretty sight. It is a landscape that many another might want to keep out of the light of day and the glare . of the spotlight. Their view out the windshield is suddenly quite constrained. The latter first. Tareq and Michaele Salahi potentially face up to five years in federal prison See SALAHIS, Page A7 Fauquier County General District Court and Circuit Court records show that Tareq and/or Michaele Holt Salahi have been involved in numerous civil suits since 1999. However, only a handful are active. The details of those cases are as follows: • Salamander Middleburg LLC vs. Tareq Salahi (acting as an individual and as a representative for America's Polo Cup Inc.), filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court in 2008. The lawsuit, in which the catering group alleges breach of oral and written contracts, stems from the inaugural America's Cup Polo event in 2007. The plaintiff claims that organizers allowed too many people who hadn't paid for the privilege into areas where special catering services were provided. Market Salamander is seeking more than $300,000 in damages. In return, Salahi filed a countersuit in Circuit Court claiming the caterer breached the contract by failing to provide enough food. • Stanley W. Coffey vs. Salahi Family Ltd. Partnership. Filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court in 2008. The plaintiff (Coffey) is suing for breach ■of oral contract and enforcement of a mechanic's lien. He claims he entered into an oral agreement with Tareq Salahi while Salahi was a “duly authorized agent" for Oasis Winery. Coffey claims he performed “numerous electrical repairs and installations to the winery including heating and cooling system, lighting system and and various other winery machinery" at "Salahi's specific request and under his direction." He further claims that he has completed all of the work he agreed to do. and that he has billed the Salahi Family Ltd. Partnership do Tareq Salahi. but has never been paid. Coffey is seeking more than $17,358. • Jerome Farmer vs. Tareq Salahi. Filed in Fauquier County General District Court this year. A hearing is slated for 9:30 a m.

Salahis From Page A6 if they are charged with and convicted of lying to a federal official during last week’s apparently uninvited excursion to the White House. The view out the back window includes a ruined winery, shuttered and bankrupt; a long string of civil suits, some still awaiting resolution in Fauquier’s court system, many of them dealing with unpaid bills; cars and at least one boat and other playthings of the wealthy repossessed; a residence in foreclosure; an acrimonious public feud with his mother over the vineyard. Outstanding bills everywhere. Perhaps more seriously, there are nagging allegations that the causes that the Salahis and Oasis Winery supposedly support are mirages, that there is barely a dime left over after what can only be characterized as elaborate expenses associated with the fundraisers are settled. Or, as often seems to be the case with this couple when it comes to accounts payable, ignored or litigated. Because he is both a professional polo player and a lymphoma survivor, Charles Muldoon, who does promotional work for Morven Park, was asked by Tareq Salahi to help organize the inaugural America’s Cup Polo match at the park near Leesburg in 2007. He was hoping to generate some good publicity for the park, at which he was successful. and to raise money for lymphoma research through Journey for the Cure. "Journey for the Cure,” he said, “is Tareq Salahi's personal chanty; which I did not know at the time,” Muldoon said. From his close-up encounter with it, Muldoon has concluded that Journey for the Cure has serious problems. Not only did virtually no money go to cancer research, he claimed, but many of those who participated in the event were not paid for their work, for the supplies they had to purchase, for their time and effort Salahi. Muldoon claims, even went so far as to stiff the local civic club that provided for parking cars. The America’s Cup Polo match was held at Morven Park for two years. Salamander Public Outcry Centers on Secret Service Tareq and Michaele Salahi managed to make their way into a White House State Dinner on Nov. 24. The couple made it at feast as far as the receiving line, where they shook hands with President Obama. An unscientific survey of comments posted on the Web sites of the major news outlets reveals that much of the public comment on the escapade is directed toward the Secret Service, not the offending couple. There is no excuse for/ this failure,” one reader wrote on washingtonpost.com “Nonji Handling gate'T&Sners and probleips with a guest list are part of event planning 101, very predictable and very easy to manage.” Many believe that the Salahis were not a threat to the president. “Having bad taste is not a crime,” said one writer typical of this group. “Looking for publicity is not a crime. Seeking money is not a crime. This couple did not force themselves into the reception, they did not make any threats, and they were not armed with weapons. The Secret Service failed to do its job properly.” There are those who think the the Salahis should be congratulated for “revealing the weakness of the Secret Service," as one person wrote on cbsnews.com. “This is a wake-up call to review their security procedure.’’ The sentiment is, of course, not universal. "Please prosecute these two! And fire the agent/s responsible for allowing an unknown to approach the president close enough to iiyure or kill him. I'm not an Obama fan but he is the president and deserves better protection than this,* according to a comment on cnn.com. — Sydni Scrofani Marketing of Middleburg catered one of them, and it has not yet been paid. Its $300,000plus lawsuit is working its way through the system, as is Tareq Salahi's countersuit. Not welcomed back to Morven Park for a third year, the event moved to a polo club in Poolesville, Md., for the 2009 match, and Salahi contracted with a small-scale local caterer from Midland. Jerome Farmer, proprietor of Fresh Escape Catering, asked for half the money up front. It was hard enough to get that, he said, with the Salahis playing a game of keepaway for weeks before he finally secured a check. He has not yet collected the remaining $16,000 that he said he is owed and is having to pay 20 servers, who, typically, are paid separately by the client, out of his own pocket. The Salahis’ failure to pay has put his business in jeopardy. Fanner is suing, and a court date has been set for Dec. 16. “The event cost Morven Park money, which would have been fine if it were for an actual charity,' Muldoon said of the initial America's Cups. “It wasn’t, and the accounting that the board asked for. the accounting that Loudoun County, who also put up some money, asked for was so...shoddy...that there was no way to tell who, if anyone, had been paid.” Or what, if any, donations had been made to the purported beneficiaries. In May, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services issued a statement warning potential donors that Journey for the Cure, which ostensibly supports research into lymphoma and multiple sclerosis, was not registered with the commonwealth, as charitable organizations are required to do. According to Elaine Lidholm, YDACS director of communications, Journey for the Cure is now registered to raise money for charity, the paperwork having been completed just weeks ago, on Nov. 15. There are apparently different types of registration. Journey for the Cure’s is for an organization that raises $25,000 or less for charity annually. The Times-Democrat has filled a freedom of information request to obtain copies of the financial reports in support of the registration. In terms of registration, she could not comment on the status of America’s Cup Polo, Lidholm said, it is the subject of an ongoing investigation. When it comes to support of charities, the Salahis, Muldoon concluded, “are all hat and no cattle. “If they had actually been invited," to the White House State Dinner, “1 would think that they would now be apologetic," Muldoon mused. “We’re sorry, we actually thought we were invited, here’s what soand-so said,’ something like that. Instead,” he said, “the reports now are that they are trying to sell their story. They have pulled a lot of stuff, but this is ridiculous." The Salahis canceled an appearance on Larry King Live originally slated for Nov. 30 and are reportedly seeking a “six-figure" sum to tell their story. Their publicist denies the allegation, and the couple did appear on a morning talk show on Tuesday. Chns Pearmund said he is “not surprised, but disappointed,” by the whole escapade. “Tareq has always enjoyed being dose to or in front of a camera, with an audience, in his personal and professional life,” Pearmund said. “And this falls within that. Notoriety has always seemed important to Tareq.” His disappointment, Pearmund said, stems from the “belittling of our country" The Salahis, he said, “belit tied the office of the president and belittled the dignitaries involved." Tareq and Michaele Salahi had been living in a house in Warren County close to the Fauquier line. It was swarming with reporters last week and the couple left, it is widely believed, to take refuge with a relative in Puree 11 ville in Loudoun County. Pretty & Serene 16+ Acres, Sperryville.

Allison Sitch, senior corporate director of the public relations for Ritz-Carlton, said Monday that the hotel chain “has not been involved with America’s Polo Cup since 2007."

Calls to the America’s Polo Cup headquarters, a Front Royal telephone number, went unanswered this week and the voice mailbox is full. SiteWhirks, a Web development company in Warrenton, is also a sponsor and has been for three years, said co-owner Matt Carson. “Well continue to sponsor it because, in the end, I think it’s an interesting event, and, who knows, it might be bigger this year because of all of this,” Carson said. Other big-name sponsors, including American Airlines, would not comment on sponsorship of the event, citing confidentiality issues. ‘Housewives of D.C.’ How other sponsors will view continuing coverage of the Salahis remains to be seen, as does the impact on Michaele Salahi’s bid to be part of the cast of Bravo’s “Housewives of D.C.a spinoff of the network’s popular Housewives series that is set to begin airing sometime in 2010. As recently as October, Michaele Salahi was named by several media outlets in Washington as a top contender for a spot on the show. Bravo announced plans for the show in May, providing these casting parameters: “We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.'s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders — the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles" A Bravo spokesperson said Monday that the D.C. cast has not been finalized, but acknowledged that Salahi is “under consideration as a cast member. The decision as to who will be included in the series will not be made for several months.” The spokesperson declined to comment on whether Salahi’s visit to the White House would help land her a spot or ensure that she doesn’t. She also did not comment on the network's geographic definition of Washington, D.C. or how a woman who resides in Front Royal, at least an hour ‘outside the Beltway, qualifies as a Washington housewife.

RappNewsxorn t By Melissa Weeks Special to the Rappahannock News “We...we want it...a bask— et...Pan—thers!" The Rappahannock County High School gym echoed with this chant as the Lady Panther varsity basketball team tipped off the start of its 2009-2010 season against Wakefield Country Day School on Monday night. The Ladies suffered a disappointing loss of 29-30. The initial half of the game was evenly matched with a first quarter score of 77 and second quarter score, 11-11. Half time brought change to the atmosphere of the game and propelled Rapp into playing its best quarter The scoreboard certainly reflected the shift, 25-15. Coach Donald O'Meara said, “We played hard! Third quarter was good. If we play like that the rest of the season, we'll be fine." Energized Lady Panthers entered the fourth quarter with momentum that was quickly lost. Several traveling calls, some foul troubles, and difficulty under the basket robbed the Ladies’ confidence. The coach said, “Offense gave us a lot of open shots; we just couldn’t make them.” The final minute of the Photos by Bryn Sonnett DETERMINED: Haley Hogan shows the Lady Panther determination in a heated third quarter. game was the most intense w’ith Rapp earning an intentional foul call which presented a 2-shot attempt for Wakefield and returned possession of the ball to the opponent. In literally the last second of the contest, the Panthers remained determined to overcome the onepoint gap with a one-pass attempt to make a basket. The final buzzer stymied their efforts. In the nail-biter game, several players made laudable contributions to the team's effort. Joslvn Smith led the Lady Panthers with 11 points, followed by Lauren Settle with nine. Megan Lee with seven, and Shelby Thornhill with two. Coach O'Meara reflected on the Ladies' first game and said. “We didn’t put together four quarters, and we missed a bunch of free throws. However, it’s our first game, so we will only get better from here." Next week's paper will have the results of the games against Tandem Friends •Charlottesville) and also the Highland Invitational Tournament today and Saturday.

Farming From Page A1 the VFBF has said, that agriculture is being unfairly blamed for the water-quality problems likely to result when residential and commercial development grows in the sort of steep curve seen over the last century in the Chesapeake watershed - which, after all, includes the extended metropolitan areas of Richmond, Washington and Baltimore. One of them is Mike Massie - a former Rappahannock supervisor and Planning Commission member whose family has farmed the thousand or so acres where U.S. routes 211 and 522 meet - a Comer known as Massies - for going on five generations now. “If your goal is to do something about the deterioration of the Chesapeake over the last 100 years or so * says Massie, “you look at the watershed and say, ‘What changes have taken place in that time frame that made the bay worse.’ “1 can’t hardly imagine that livestock numbers have gone up in the region in that time - I mean, look at Fairfax County. It one time was the largest dairy farm area in the state, but not one is left. “So then you have to look at what has changed in those 100 years - the roads, parking lots, buildings, residences, commercial development. 1 mean, millions more people live here than years ago." Massie pauses. “I just can’t see how a reasonable person could come to the conclusion that the problem is with farms and livestock ” Fencing the streams The issue boils down to To make it mandatory is taking a sledge hammer to a gnat. We’re not affecting the bay adversely at all. . \ \ X Chris Parrish Viewtown farmer keeping livestock, and to a lesser extent fertilizer and other nutrients, out of the streams and rivers of Rappahannock - which, unlike areas downstream, has none of the highdensity feed-lot operations and dairy farms whose potential negative impact on water quality is well-enough known that tie state is already much more involved in their regulation.

All of them are voluntary. The VFBF and some local farmers wony that if the EPA starts enforcing a standards-based water quality program in the bay, fencing cattle out of streams would no longer be a matter of choice. “My neighbor across the river has told me that if she is forced to fence the streams on her property, she will just develop it and move to Florida,” said longtime Viewtown farmer and Supervisor-elect Chris Parrish. “If it’s not mandatory then we don’t have a problem,” said Parrish, who believes the waters leaving Rappahannock are significantly cleaner than what leaves the jurisdictions downstream. “To make it mandatory is taking a sledge hammer to a gnat. We’re not affecting the bay adversely at all. We’re helping the counties below us.” John Genho, manager at Eldon Farms - with roughly 1,000 head of cattle grazing 3,500 open acres, probably the county’s largest single concentration of livestock - said fencing every stream on the farm would more than double the cost of fence construction and maintenance. “I think we’d have no more cattle at that point,” Genho said. “Cattle in Rappahannock are marginally profitable, if they’re profitable at all, and a lot of times they’re not. If our fence building and maintenance costs doubled, I don’t think we could justify it.” Eldon Farms already has 75 acres of fence, said Genho, who also sits on the board of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District (CSWCD) - which administers many of the cost-sharing programs available to farmers who are willing (and financially able) to build fences and install livestock walls and cover crops in such a Way as they will get 75 percent of their costs back from the state. “I don’t really think we need to fence off all the smaller streams,” Genho said, “but, for instance, we have a calving area and it gets a lot of use and it's right on the Hazel River, and we probably should do something about that.” Hazel’s ‘impaired’ waters The Hazel River, in fact, has the longest stretches of “impaired” waters in recent Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) tests that also found primarily fecal bacteria levels too high in small sections of most of Rappahannock County’s major rivers. Since that report was issued last year, state cost-sharing programs along the Hazel now reimburse farmers up to 85 percent of their fencing, welldrilling and other costs, said CSWCD manager Greg Wilchens.

66 I’m probably spending too much on labor and doing things constantly to try to improve the farm.l guess the difference is I’m full of enthusiasm and hope, whereas I think a lot of farmers are full of despair. Cliff Miller Mount Vernon Farm . Farming From Page a 10 “The concept that this is all going to put people out of business is not a new line,” Wilchens said. “Frankly, I don’t see anybody being required to do anything for quite some time.” Instead, Wilchens said, he thinks the state - with the EPA looking more intently over its shoulder in the Chesapeake Bay watershed - will focus on tightening up on other standards, including regulation of stocking rates, foraging and alternative water source development. Some farm owners "have embraced riparian buffers and soil conservation - a veritable trend has developed, in fact, among the county’s smaller and/or newer operations which also, not coincidentally, are more open to the alternative business model that embraces so-called “niche” farming Though his 800-acre Mount Vemon Farm doesn’t qualify as a new farm - it’s been in his family for five generations - owner Cliff Miller is one of those who, a decade ago, he says, found the riparian-buffer and altemative-water-source cost sharing programs “helped me to be able to farm this land the way I wanted to farm it.” Miller’s Speryville farm and Dale Welch’s farm in Huntly were in fact singled out by the Soil and Water District last month when it handed out awards for Conservationist of the Year and Most Bay-Friendly Farm, respectively. Miller has more than 140 acres in conservation or riparian buffers. And his beef, lamb and pork is sold primarily direct to consumers looking for healthier, grass-fed and pastured meat. 1 gave up about 11)0 acres ot land, some would say really good land, to do this," Miller says. “But all I really did was put back into wetlands what we drained out about 150 years ago. “We’ve owned this farm for 180 years and it’s my turn, and as 1 looked at how I could farm in a way that would keep this farm in our hands and respect the property and this county for what it’s doing, it became clear that this was my way to do that," Miller says, meaning the move toward conservation and buffers, and more natural methods of raising livestock. “We’re in the midst of becoming financially sustainable,” Miller says. “I’m probably spending too much on labor and doing things constantly to try to improve the farm. I guess the difference is I’m full of enthusiasm and hope, whereas I think a lot of farmers are full of despair. "Our sales last year were up from the year before, this year we’re up over 20 percent yearto-date . . . That gives me hope that there’s also a possibility for other farms to do the same thing - being grass farms and selling healthy food to the D C. and central Virginia marketplace."

Rappahannock News Staff Photo Roger Piantadosi BANNER YEAR: Mark Reinhardt and Laurie Smith have opened a central storehouse/office in the former general store next to American Road Motorcycles in Amissville. and took to the ladders this week to erect a temporary banner to mark its opening. In Amissville, Local Flavor now has a local address Farm club opens central location for storehouse pickups, drop-offs By Rouer Piantadosi Rappahannock News Staff Writer Laurie Smith and Mark Reinhardt can finally stop living out of their truck. Actually, the co-founders of Local Flavor do live in a house in Rappahannock Lakes, but they are hoping that the storehouse/office they just opened down the road in Amissville will help cut down on truck time. Since April 2008, Smith and Reinhardt have been picking up local produce, meats and other products at area farms and delivering them to consumers - from Alexandria to Herndon to Fredericksburg - who’ve placed their orders on Local Flavor’s farmbuyersclub.com Web site. Smith said the storehouse - in the former general store next to American Road Motorcycles on US. 211 at Viewtown Road - now allows both suppliers and the most local of Local Flavor’s customers to drop or pick up goods at a central location. Smith and Reinhardt spent the last two months renovating and painting and have installed several refrigerators and chest freezers. They expect to have more cold storage soon. Smith said, including a walk-in freezer and fridge. “We’re really looking for 66 ...we are just trying to keep the food miles down - and keep the money local. It’s just great being able to promote such a wonderful county like this. Laurie'Smith Co-founder, Local Flavor ward to being able to service our customers here," said Smith, who said that one of the options after a customer orders online will now be to set up a time they can come by the Amissville location and pick that order up Since taking on Mount Vernon Farm's several hundred direct-order grass-fed beef, lamb and pork customers last year. Local Flavor now has an email list of some 1,700 customers. Smith said, and plans to double the frequency of its once-a-month deliveries to most of its dozen drop points early next year It has added suppliers steadily since and now delivers products from the Farm at Sunnyside, Belle Meade Farm, Waterpenny Farm, True Grit Farm, Windsong Apiaries, Central Coffee Roasters, Virginia Chutney Company and a half dozen others in Rappahannock and surrounding counties. “We were featured in The Washington Post in July, and after that we got lots of requests for deliveries in Maryland and DC ,” Smith said “But for right now we want to stay closer rather than farther. And we are just trying to keep the food miles down - and keep the money local. It's just great being able to promote such a wonderful county like this. “So far we’re plugging along, and expanding, which is very exciting." she said “And this space is 1,500 square feet - so it’s bursting with possibilities. Of course it’s not filled with a lot of other stuff yet, but that’s coming."

Although based on the biblical story of Christmas, the play has warmed the hearts of audiences of all denominations ever since it was written and performed by the villagers of the little town of Oberufer in Germany in the 16th century. In Rappahannock, the play was first produced by Ki Theater and directed by Julie Portman in 1992. Beth Levick was the music director. The cast included Joyce Abell, Mike Mahoney, Carol Lucking, Sean Kilpatrick, Sid Gottlieb and Peter Hornbostel, director of this year’s production “1 must have played Gallus, the senior shepherd, seven or See PLAY, Page B6 Pf’Oto Dy t Ray^onc B<x ON THE SCENE: Members of the Shepherds' Play' cast get practical field experience.

Meet the Dodsons, four generations of farmers It seems only fitting that we feature a farming family, the Netus Dodson family, in our search for home-based businesses in Spenyville. “We just achieved our current goal of 200 head of cattle this year... but our hopes for the future are to increase die herd to 500,” said 24-year-old John Dodson in a recent interview. Unlike many young men and women from farm families, John sees the future of his family solidly rooted in continuing the tradition of his great-grandfather and his grandfather whose farm was part of what is now Shenandoah National Park. Netus Dodson and his sons, Netus Lee, 30, John and Will, 21, raise cattle and grow hay not only on their own farm in Sperryville but also on land leased on five other farms. Their mother, Hope, is the secretary for the business and does most of the bookkeeping and billing. They have customers in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Both Netus Lee and Will also are employed at Brown Tractor Sales in Culpeper John is available to do just about anything that needs to be done on a farm, including building and fencing. me uoason men sen wen over 100 of their cattle at Farmers’ Livestock in Winchester every fall and spring, keeping their best heifers behind each year to improve and expand their herd. They offer a variety of types of pesticide-free hay including square bales, horse quality round bales (a combination of alfalfa, timothy and orchard grass) and grass hay for cattle or for those who want less rich hay for their horses. Our comprehensive plan identifies fanning as our major asset in Rappahannock County. Our hope for the future is to support young farmers who have the enthusiasm and work ethic so evident in this family.

Church hosts ‘Hanging of the Greens’ Holding to tradition the annual “Hanging of the Greens” service was held at the Chester Gap Baptist Church Sunday as a part of the evening service. The main part of the service was an explanation of the significance and history of different traditional items used in the Christmas celebration - such as the meaning of the evergreen, the significance of the candles, the history of the poinsettia and the significance of the star. Some of the most wonderful and beloved hymns were sung like “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” “The First Nowell,” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” The service was followed by a time of fellowship enlivened with an ornament exchange along with finger foods. It was truly a delightful service enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be able to attend and will be looked forward to next year. A special thanks to Stacy Majors for all of her hard work with the setting up of the greens which are very lovely and inspirational.
