War briefs Prayer service times change Due to the beginning of Lenten services, the times of the weekly prayer services for peace at two local churches will change, effective this week. Each Wednesday at noon an interdenominational service will be held at Washington Baptist Church. Each Wednesday at 7 p.m. a similar service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church In . Washington. On Feb. 20 and 27, the evening service at Trinity will be proceeded by an interdenominational potluck supper at 6:15 p.m. The public is invited to attend. The services are led by the Rev. Jennings Hobson III and the Rev. Darrell Bare. “This is something that we offer to the entire community,” the Rev. Hobson said. The services will continue as long as the Gulf war continues, he added. Old Rag Bulletins Students save sweethearts The RCHS chapter of the National Honor Society is organizing a "Save a Sweetheart" campaign at the high school this week. The campaign, introduced by the American Heart Association, is designed to stop students from smoking or prevent them from starting. Students are asked to pledge not to start smoking within the year, or to stop smoking for Save a Sweetheart Day, which is Valentine's Day. Students who make the pledges receive pencils and buttons which say, "I'm Kissable, I Don't Smoke." National Honor Society members will distribute pledge cards during all lunch shifts at the school this week. Posters have been placed in the school and announcements are being made talking about the dangers of smoking and " hints on how to stop. "Since smoking has been linked to death and disability due to heart disease," a member of the Honor . Society said, "we believe that it is important that our students and our community are aware of its dangers and are given opportunities to learn how to prevent these dangers from affecting their lives." Chapter I Council meets The Parents' Advisory Council of the public schools' Chapter I program will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the RCES library. All parents whose children participate in the Chapter I math or reading labs are invited to attend this meeting. Teachers will make brief presentations and there will be a discussion of how to increase parental involvement in the education of their children. For more information, call the School Board office (703-987-8773).

Churches offer prayers for peace Concern over Gulf war permeates dailu life By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The tensions associated with war hang over the county like a pall, weighing the shoulders of Rappahannock residents as they face the uncertain outcome of the Persian Gulf conflict. A sadness and fear is associated with this tension — fear of what may occur next in the war against Iraq and sadness that some soldiers serving in Operation Desert Storm may be injured or killed. There is concern for theii* neighbors too, especially those with relatives serving in the Gulf. Sometimes a quiet place, a quiet time, a quiet prayer can ease these feelings and pressures. Two Rappahannock churches offer solice with services each Wednesday. Until Lent, Feb. 15, services at noon are held in Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, located on the comer of Gay and Middle Streets in Washington, and at 7:30 p.m. in Washington Baptist Church on the comer of Porter and Gay Streets. Beginning with Lent, the service locations will switch and the evening service conducted at 7 p.m. “It’s a quiet time,” Washington Baptist Church pastor, the Rev. Darrell Bare said, addihg w'hile numbers of those attending these services since the war’s beginning on Jan. 17 is not high, the response is steady. “It’s a brief 15 minute service with quiet prayer,” he said, adding the presiding minister may offer an opening prayer and a closing word, but mostly there are silent prayers for and of the people. It may be a family member prayed for, a friend, a colleague, an associate or business partner, but Rappahannock residents are demonstrating their concern and care with prayer. And while peace is prayed for, support for the war effort, the troops overseas, and the nation’s participation in the operation remain strong. “There is mixed support in the community,” the Rev. Jennings Hobson III of Trinity Episocpal Church said, adding while sentiment is mixed, there is still “the strongest support for the war effort.” Not only is this support echoed in See PEACE, p. A-6 Additional indictments handed down against seven in Allison case By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer ALEXANDRIA — Seven people from Rappahannock and Fauquier counties were arrested on Friday, Feb. 8, the day after 32 previously-sealed federal indictments were handed down in the cocaine distribution and conspiracy case surrounding Marshall resident Kenneth Warren Allison. f Among those arrested was Henry Payne, 42, of Route 1, Box 172, Washington. Payne was charged with conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine. He was the caretaker of Allison’s property on Route 625 in Harris Hollow, just outside Washington. That property was one of seven raided by federal authorities during a raid in November, 1990. In addition, more and detailed charges were brought against Allison, including the so-called Kingpin Statute, charging him with operating a continuing criminal enterprise involving five or more persons. That crime carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years without parole, and the maximum is life. A total of 32 indictments were unsealed after arrests that followed the grand jury’s ruling on Feb. 7, superceding and including Allison’s two previous indictments in U.S. District Court in Alexandria for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Allison was in jail last week when he and six of seven co-defendants were all indicted for conspiracy to distrubute five kilograms or more of cocaine, among other charges. Allison was also indicted again for the two gun charges, operating a continuing criminal enterprise, possession with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine, nine counts of money laundering, distribution of cocaine to someone younger than 18 years old, and two charges of using a firearm during a drug transaction. In addition, the government is asking the court to confiscate assets it claims are drug-related, including the property in Harris Hollow. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Apperson, the prosecu* See ALLISON, p. A-6 All county officials plan to run again By SHARON KILPATRICK v Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With the 1991 election almost nine months in the future, all Rappahannock constitutional officers say they will run for reelection, and four of five members of the Board of Supervisors say they also will be condidates for reelection. Robert Anderson, supervisor from Stonewall-Hawthom District, said that because of his location on the edge of his district, he will wait until the county has redistricted before making his decision. Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Clerk of the Court Diane Bruce, Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins, and Treasurer Frances Foster all said they would seek another term. Wakefield District representative Hubert Gilkey, Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes, Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham and Hampton District representative Mike Massie also announced they will seek another four-year term. At this time only Sheriff Woodward has announced opposition. Roger Cordani, of Amissville said he intends to file as a candidate for sheriff as soon as filing papers are available. Mr. Cordani said he wants to run be sheriff in order to promote more drug awareness in the schools and community, and to make the sheriffs department more responsive to citizen complaints. Normally candidates would be required to file by June 17, but this year because of the need to redistrict the filing deadline will probably be pushed back until Sept. 3. A bill to set that date as the filing deadline is working its way through the Gneeral Assembly. , Mr. Massie pointed out that this means that an incumbent will have to campaign as though he faces opposition not knowing if he indeed does until September. He said that might be a good thing “because it forces you to get out and hear your constituents’ concerns.” Western bypass now in doubt By BURKE DAVIS III Anindel Ncwgpapcn Staff Writer The proposed bypass around Washington suffered blows last week in both Maryland and Virginia. In Maryland, Transportation Secretary James Lighthizer said that plans for the longest eastern route for a bypass have been put on hold for an indefinite period, although shorter local routes remain possible options. In the Virginia General Assembly, a resolution designed to support the controversial western routes of a bypass has been so altered that if it wins passage it could stall the project for years. Ray Pethtel, Virginia’s Commission of Transportation, says that the $2 million study funded jointly by the two states will go forward. Beyond that Pethtel is not ready to speculate on the impact Lighthizer’s position will have on the project. “As I understand what Mr. Lighthizer said, he thought that the eastern bypass wasn’t a financial possibility for at least five years. I obviously have not looked in detail at what impact that might have on the western bypass or other projects under consideration here in Virginia," Pethtel said by telephone on Monday. He noted that “the first tier impact study is not complete. We are looking at the public input. . . figuring out what is needed in order to complete tier one and meet the requirements (set out by federal statute). I don’t fexpect the statement that Secretary Lighthizer has made will have an impact bn completing this part of the study effort. It could but it will be several months before we even know what we need to do to complete tier one.” The tier approach to impact studies is part of the National Environmental Protection Act. The act requires that in large projects the impact be taken in stages, first on the “systems level” and then on the “project level. ’’ Resolution not needed to assure fiscal austerity By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors is trying to avoid large tax increases for the coming budget in the face of severe pressure from declining funds from the state. At last week’s monthly meeting Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham submitted a resolution for the supervisor's’ approval. The resolution would have called for reducing or eliminating cost of living salary increases, holding down “merit pay” increases (although Rappahannock has no employees covered by a merit pay system), maintaining operating costs at or below current costs, and implementing capital improvements only after thorough review. When County Administrator John McCarthy had finished reading the resolution, Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked Mr. Bingham, “Where did you come up with this?” After some prodding Col. Bingham said he had taken it from resolutions adopted and considered in other localities. ‘This board has been very prudent,” Mr. Gilkey said. “We haven’t had to have a resolution to balance the budget. Personally I don’t think I need to sign a resolution to adhere to this.” ‘‘The intent of this,” Col. Bingham said. “We go through three months of agony. I think we should give definitive guidance to department heads and the schools, so when they come in, we don’t have to. We have to set the tone before they start thinking.” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Rete” Estes said, “The chairman isn’t goinjflp tie his hands before the budget hearings.” “You’re making this personal,” Col. Bingham said. “It’s not meant to be personal.” County clerk Diane Bruce said, “Those of us with salaries set by the state compensation board have already gotten letters saying there will be no cost of living increase.” Mr. McCarthy said he had sent letters to department heads asking them to hold the line on spending. “Of course, any capital expense has to be justified.

Wilder, Assembly lock horns over Va/s $2.2 billion deficit By JEFF NELSON Arundel Newspapers State Writer RICHMOND — Senate amendments to Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s budget proposal would restore many of the cuts aimed at Northern Virginia but will face challenges from House lawmakers and a veto threat from Wilder. Wilder this week chastised Senate amendments that take half of the governor’s $200 million “rainy day” fund and include some projects Wilder has termed unnecessary. Wilder threatened to “use all the powers of (the governor’s) office,” including a veto to keep the rainyday fund intact. Northern Virginia lawmakers were quick to point out, however, that the Senate amendments are the least painful to localities in the region compared to House amendments and Wilder’s proposal. Sen. Clive DuVal, D-Fairfax, determined that the Senate proposal would restore $43 million in cuts to the Northern Virginia region mostly in schools funding. The House made predominantly minor amendments and managed to keep the rainy day fund with the proviso that it be used before any state workers are required to take an eight day furlough. The House also took a stab at Wilder by requiring that passenger lists and fight logs for all trips on stateowned aircraft be made public. The amendments further require that Wilder pay for any trips that are not made for state business. Wilder has been widely criticized for his reported use of state aircraft for private trips. Wilder has argued against the disclosure amendment, claiming that it would hamper his ability to negotiate with businesses interested in locating in Virginia. Neither house of the General Assembly has accepted the other’s budget amendments, creating a situation that requires a joint conference committee be formed. As House and Senate money committee members gather for the joint session on the budget they will be confronted with substantial differences in amendment proposals. According to DuVal, who will sit on the joint committee, the Senate reduced Wilder’s plan to slice $43 million from Northern Virginia projects and agencies to a $29 million cut. The House amendments propose Northern Virginia cuts to be approximately $34 million. The Senate reductions could face serious challenges in the joint committee because of Wilder’s veto threat. Wilder also will have the power of a line-item veto that would allow him to nix certain projects restored to the budget by lawmakers. The joint committee reviewing both the House and Senate budget amendments, called a conference committee, is meeting this week to hammer out a compromise to send to Wilder for final approval or veto. Lawmakers could vote to overturn a Wilder budget veto in a special session in April but such a move is unlikely. “We’ve never overturned a gubernatorial veto before and this won’t be the year for that to happen,” Waddell said. Both houses of the General Assembly passed their respective money committees’ recommended budget amendments following several hours of debate Feb. 7. Politics came into play on the House side especially as a slew of Republican offered changes were shot down by the Democrat-controlled body. Republicans in both houses chastised Wilder’s proposed amendments and lawmakers’ changes as a “smoke and mirrors” approach to correcting a $2.2 billion revenue shortfall. v The shortfall is the largest in the state’s history since the turn of the century and is caused by the current recession according to the Wilder administration. Wilder has asked to retain the rainy-day fund to counter any further downturn in revenues. Baseball registration planned Feb. 16, 23 The Rappahannock Athletic Association will be holding their registration on Saturdays, February 16th and February 23rd from 10 a. m. until 1 p.m. at the Amissville fire hall and at the Rappahannock Elementary School.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. t The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1991 A brazen move The attempt by building and real estate interests to defeat legislation aimed at allowing local governments to enact ordinances regulating transferable development rights (TDRs) should be seen for just what it is: a blatant attempt to protect their own interests at the expense of others. TDRs have been studied and debated by the General Assembly as a whole, and most recently by a committee composed of interested parties from across the political spectrum. Building and real estate interests were represented, as were local government &nd preservationists. * But last week, in Richmond, the pressure was put on legislators to defeat the proposed TDR bill. According to reports from the state Capitol, the word was passed that legislators voting in favor of the TDR bill would suffer the consequences this fall when they face reelection. The implication was clear, according to people who were there: a vote for TDRs would mean a loss of campaign support, especially monetary support, in the fall. We realize that the job of special interests and their lobbyists is to influence the course of legislation as it passes through the General Assembly . That is a legitimate function in a democracy. , However, when those interests find themselves frustrated by their opposition and turn to threats of economic blackmail on the floor of the General Assembly, we think that is going too far. To their credit, both Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. and Sen. Kevin G. Miller, Rappahannock's representatives, resisted the pressure and voted in favor of the TDR legislation. We applaud them for standing firm and voting for their constituencies at home — instead of the special interests in Richmond.

'Bottle bill' can work To the editor: Your editorial in last week’s Rappahannock News on the recently rejected bottle bill is the focus of my attention here. Granted, that there are pros and cons on this issue. In my view, unlike the one you expressed, the pros have a decided advantage. I’ve lived in a state with a bottle law. I’ve seen it work. Before its enactment, I used to jog, and to occupy my mind as I sped (a euphemism!) along, I would count the number of Bud, Schlitz, Narragansett, Coke, Sprite, 7-Up, and other bottles and cans to determine which in each category was the most popular. They were all there. Then, the bottle law was enacted. The next summer, there were no more cans and bottles on the roadside. None! Compare our Rappahannock roadsides. But you concede that a deposit is good for our roadsides and landfills. You cite “higher consumer costs and manufacturer inconvenience” as disadvantages. The higher consumer costs are of course reclaimable at the place of sale, with only slight inconvenience to the consumer. The grocery stores, as sellers, complained bitterly at first, mostly because they had to adopt new procedures for handling the returnables. By the second summer, when I returned to this bottle-and-can-free paradise, their procedures were in place, the returnables and refunds were handled with an absolute mini r, HEY FELLOWS./,, A VALENTINE.// HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAV TO ALL mum of inconvenience to anyone, and the complaints of the storekeepers had subsided. Furthermore, the roadsides were still pristine. I never heard anything about manufactures’ inconvenience, and if I had I would reject their complaints, if any, out of hand. Why? Because they, like most industrial concerns in the U.S., have been permitted (unwisely) to externalize the costs of their pollution of the environment. That is, they do not include the cost of roadside pollution in their cost of doing business, but transfer such cost to the public at large. The deposit for returnable bottles and cans is merely the cost of removing the source of pollution created by the manufacturers in the first place. Finally, you ask, “if the concept is so effective elsewhere, why have only 10 or 11 states adopted such programs?” In the light of the discussion so far, the question answers itself. Bottle bills fail in the General Assembly because of the determined opposition of the bottling industry, which wants to continue to externalize the costs of dealing with the pollution it causes, and transfer them to the general public. The states that have adopted bottle laws include the New England states, Oregon, and several Middle Atlantic states. In each case, tourism and the vacation business is considered to be of great importance. Greater, even, than the bottle business. Tourism and vacationing are important in Virginia, too. They produce substantial revenue. I submit that the enactment of a bottle bill in Virginia would enhance overall revenue as well as environmental esthetics. Incidentally, the landfill I patronize in Massachusetts, which is one of the bottle law states, maintains an aggressive recycling program. That program, coupled with the operation of the bottle law, has reduced the volume of waste at the landfill by more than 50 percent. LEE BIRD Washington Schools need help now tv Our Rappahannock County school system needs help. First, Rappahannock children are penalized by the state via an unfair formula which is supposed to determine a county’s wealth and establish an equitable distribution of state educational funds. Second, it seems that we might lose another $250,000 from an already strapped budget, due to belt tightening by the state government. Third, classes are full with enrollment on the rise indicating a need to bmld a new middle school. Even though Superintendent David Gangel has been artfully juggling shrinking resources against increasing requirements, it is inevitable that our children are going to suffer if he doesn’t have enough funds to run the school system. I believe we have a crisis in the making which requires attention now. I urge our Board of Supervisors to set a special public forum with our elected representatives, the School Board and Dr. Gangel, specifically to discuss the future of public education in Rappahannock. This is a matter which impacts on all county residents and taxpayers, whether they have children in Rappahannock schools or not. Let’s get together and exchange facts and opinions. GREG ROBERTSON Viewtown Soccer, baseball leagues begin joint sports effort To the editor: The Rappahannock Athletic Association and the Rappahannock Soccer League are happy to announce their intentions to work together in order to improve youth sports within the county. It is the goal of our separate organizations to work in unison with one another, in order to expand and improve on these beneficial programs for the youth of our community. In these days when the youth of our country are faced with ever increasing, and in some cases, harmful distractions, we feel that sports can serve as a vital and stabilizing role in young lives. Providing an outlet for youthful energies, enhancing the ability to work with others through teamwork, and strengthening their character by the lessons taught in both victory and defeat. , These are only some of the important attributes that sports activities have and will continue to provide to our most important resource, our children. Scouts say 'Thanks!' To the editor: . Cougar Cub Scout Troop of Pack 123 would like to thank the following people for their help raising funds to aid homeless children: Mayhughes, Cabin Fever Book Store, Old Hollow Grocery, Rappahannock County Elementary School (Ms. Boerio’s class, in particular), Middle Street Gallery, the Rappahannock News, Burke’s Store, Jason Gain’s family and Mountainside Market. A total of $155.50 was collected in the house-shaped boxes that were put around the community. This money will buy windows and doors for a family working to own their own home through Habitat for Humanity. Thanks also go to Phillip Strange for providing the wood used in the boxes, and Troop Leader Mike Dunnigan for his skill helping the Cub Scouts build them. The idea for this project was inspired by Jeremy Slack, second grade, when he learned from a UN report that there are 90 million children living on the streets in the world. The generosity of the community is very appreciated. COUGAR CUB SCOUT TROOP OF PACK 123 Although our community may be small, our dreams need not be, and and we of the R.A.A. and the R.S.L. intend to set our goals high. With the continued support of the community and our local county government, it is our ambition to provide a first class sports program for the youth of Rappahannock County. The R.S.L., in order to expand upon the already successful soccer program, is introducing a spring schedule. Although this spring soccer season will somewhat overlap with the R.A.A. baseball practice season, it will not interfere with the season schedule of games. Therefore we encourage all those that wish to participate in both sports to do so. The R.A.A. is going to institute the policy of reduced fees for families with more than one child. The new rate will be $15 for one child, $25 for two children and $30 for three or more children. This continues to be the fee structure for R.S.L. Registration for the 1991 baseball season will be held Saturday, Feb. 16 and Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Registration forms for soccer will be passed out at RCES and are also available at Cabin Fever Books. Please return to RCES office or CFB by March 1. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to a very successful spring and summer of youth sports in Rappahannock County. VINNIE CARNEY Commissioner, RSL J^RRY BROWN President, RAA

More budget 'smoke and mirrors' By DEL. ANDY GUEST Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Last week was the “Crossover.” We were in session this past Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Feb. 2, 3 and 4 late into the night, considering hundreds of pieces of legislation to be sent to the Senate. So far, over 800 House bills have been sent over to the Senate with the remaining 300 or so killed. This past Thursday, the budget was presented to the House Floor for debate. As I predicted, this year’s budget bill would be the most amended budget ever. More debate took place on this budget than in recent memory. As was expected, the Republican floor amendments were continuously voted down by the spendthrift Democrats. The battle lines were distinct, when we offered amendments of real fiscal soundness. Delegate R. Cranwell (D-Roanoke), would raise in opposition and cynically speak of partisanship. This budget session it became clearer than ever that the process of good fiscal management is flawed by Gov. Wilder’s protectionists democrats. Away from the lime-light and TV cameras, in smoke filled rooms, the Democrats admit they don’t like Gov. Wilder’s budget. Yet like cows being lead to the slaughter, these same Democrats in the House of Delegates follow the “Dukakis of Virginia” to the chopping block. Governor Wilder was quoted in the Friday Richmond Times Dispatch that he would “have to raise taxes” to balance the state budget. The “shell-game,” smoke and mirrors, and public deception continues. The budget passed the House with a 64 yea and 34 nay vote, a first in the last 12 years that the budget wasn’t just rubber stamped. This budget, as passed by the Democratically controlled House, is fiscal suicide and mandates local tax increases to maintain educational effort. Opportunities to make real cuts in state government were placed on the table just to be chopped up and discarded. The most significant growth was in adding more state personnel to the pay roll. If the personnel growth proposed in the budget could have been stopped, there would have been enough monies to fully fund the Direct Aid to Education. This action will now mandate tax increases by the local boards of supervisors or the reduction of the quality of education. The House budget is better than the governor’s, but it is not good for the citizens of Virginia. This budget bill will be compared to the Senate budget version and any dissimilar items negotiated out. The budget will then be sent to the House once again for a vote. Rhetoric does not make sound budgets - reason does. Any citizen wishing to express their views to me on these or other issues can do so by writing me at 614, General Assembly Building, State Capitol, Richmond, Virginia 23219 or by calling (804) 786-7395. Del. Guest, a Warren County Republican, is the Minority leader in Virginia’s House of Delegates. He represents the 31st District, including Rappahannock County. Hectic day makes for bad bill By SEN. KEVIN MILLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Last week included the most hectic legislative day so far this session. Monday, Feb. 4 was “crossover” day; the day that each house must complete action on all their regular bills and resolutions introduced this session. There were 176 Senate bills and resolutions on the calendar that had to be acted upon. After several committee meetings, the Senate convened at 11 a.m. and did not complete the calendar until after 8 p.m. Unexpected, and sometimes undesirable results come about while acting on so many pieces of legislation against a deadline. For instance: a Senator who is chairman of the safety sub-committee that oversees correction facilities, approached me with an amendment that he said was an arrangement that had been worked out with the Culpeper “people” that would resolve the Camp 11 issue. The amended language would close Camp 11 and provide funding authority for an 825-bed prison in Culpeper County. Within 10 minutes the amendment was adopted and the bill was passed and sent to the House of Delegates. The good news is. . .Camp 11 Regular Sales Every Tuesday !

Peace Continued from page A-1 the community of adults, parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles of Operation Desert Storm service people, but it resounds in the long corridors of Rappahannock County High School. “Not in all of my six years of teaching, have I seen a single event sober the entire student body, as this event has,” English teacher Jon Heddleston said, adding while other events may have affected and reached a single class of students, this has touched each student. “The students are very aware and concerned,” he said of many of the 400 young people in the school. Mr. Heddleston teaches various sections of English from eighth to 12th grade and through his years of teaching has had many of the students several years in a row. In cooperation with the guidance department, the Rappahannock County High School English classes are participating with Operation Desert Storm Letter Writing Campaign. Guidance counselor Joyce GoodEwing became familiar with the campaign and offered it to the English teachers. ‘We mailed 34 letters on Friday,” February 1, Mr. Heddleston reported, clearly proud of his students. “I had several classes on Friday writing personal letters to the servicemembers in the Gulf.” Writing letters is often a difficult task for young students. Writing letters to the unknown can be even more a chore. Mr. Heddleston said the dedicated youths set forth a great effort. “They were very serious about the entire ordeal,” he said, adding the “eighth graders were most industrious” asking questions on possible topics and appropriateness of their letters. “I had one girl write a four page letter,” he said. Mr. Heddleston, himself, wrote to ex-student Richard Dodson, now stationed in the Gulf. “I told him it was about the length of one of his old essays,” Mr. Heddleston said with a laugh, adding it was “very brief.” While the English teacher encouraged the students to write letters “to make a GI laugh”, the students took their task with seriousness and concern. “There was absolutly no joking with any of the students. It was very serious.” Mr. Heddleston the letters were personal, unread by faculty and mailed at the end of the day. Some of the students wrote to service members, some wrote to names of personnel obtained from a list which appeared in an earlier edition of the Rappahannock News. “One girl even brought in the addresses for the Marines and the Army personnel,” Mr. Heddleston explained. “They are very serious about the matter,” he,repeated, adding the students are not “naive or foolish and the things they repeat about the war are as accurate as the news reports,” he said. “They seemed to be informed” and are demonstrating “very patriotic feelings” with full Prices in this ad good Monday, Feb. 11 thru Sunday, Feb. 17,1991.

Proof of this support can be seen each Friday as Rappahannock County High School students exhibit their patriotic feeling by wearing red, white and blue or by wearing a yellow arm wrap. “This was by unanimous vote,” science teacher Tom von Fange said of the students’ decision to wear the national colors or yellow. Though, while feelings of support are strong, feelings of fear and anxiety are real and near for teenagers looking at a world at war. “It’s probably hardest for the seniors,” Mr. Heddleston said, adding he can relate to their questions of possible draft reinstatement and losing friends and family. The draft of 1973 ended just weeks before Mr. Heddleston would have been forced to leave his student position at Kent State University in Ohio and report for a tour of duty in Vietnam. “I know what the seniors are feeling with the,.threat of draft,” he said, though he feels those students who made the decision to join the armed forces before the war began, have not changed their plans for after graduation. “The ones who were considering the military as an option, still are,” counselor Good-Ewing said, adding even a few other students have shown an interest since the war’s beginning. “But they feel very strong about it one way or the other, there is no lukewarm,” she said. Feelings of war, the possible threat of losing a family member or friend, the idea of the draft, create many anxieties for young adults. “I’ve seen about eight students,” Mrs. Good-Ewing said, Allison Continued from page A-1 tor for the case, has said more charges will probably be coming out of the ongoing investigation. Apperson also said he intends’to oppose granting bond to any of the defendants. An affadavit by FBI agent David Larson, released following Allison’s arrest on drug charges in November, stated there were more than 50 co-conspirators. Apperson said the grand jury has been hearing testimony for almost four months now. “Some [co-conspirators] have agreed to enter pleas with this oL fice. Others have entered pre-indictment pleas that have been sealed by the court,” said Apperson. Two of the alleged co-conspirators pleaded guilty this week and three more are expected to do so by the end of the week, according to Apperson. All of those who plead guilty to the conspiracy charge will have their other charges dropped, but they are signing statements that the other charges are all true, and that will affect their sentences, said Apperson. They will also testify against Allison if needed, said Apperson. After a bond hearing and arraignment later this week for those who don’t plea guilty, a trial will be scheduled. ° Indicted and arrested this week were: Thelma Lou Allison Knolton, 35, of Route 2, Box 527, Marshall.

Apperson said the charges are only the “tip of the iceberg,” and that Allison had “dozens and dozens” of additional dealers in his organization, all in Fauquier, Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Those dealers would presumably be the subject of the FBI’s ongoing investigation. The indictment outlines 87 “overt acts” that support the various charges in the indictment. Apperson also listed dozens of other specific allegations of cocaine packaging, distribution and conspiracy by Allison and alleged co-conspirators. Supervisors Continued from page A-1 only budget item that is going to increase across the board is postage.” “It’s not because this is an election year,” Col. Bingham said. “That doesn’t bother me at all. I’d like to see taxes come down. ” “The situation could get worse,” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said. “We need to look at long term spending cuts.” Mr. McCarthy said he would recommend that routine maintenance be delayed. “I’m going to place my bets that this is a short term problem.” “You don’t want to try to save five cents this year to pay one dollar next year,” Mr. Massie commented. Mr. McCarthy agreed but said, “You can delay something six months to put it into another budget year.” “This requires a zero increase in the budget,” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said, “circumstances may dictate otherwise.” Col. Bingham said he would withdraw his resolution. Mr. Massie said, “It was a good idea to talk about it.” tEfje fcappafjannock iHetos offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00-first sheet $2.00-each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00-first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet ftappafjannock Detos Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 Sale Ends Feb. 23,1991 Supply Co. 948-3062 Division of Madison Wood Preservers Rt. 634, Madison, Va.

Desserts that love your heart By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Are you looking for a new “hearthealthy” dessert to make for your loved ones for Valentine’s Day? Well, low-cholesterol desserts are now yours with some simple recipe adjustments and a little imagination. And what better time than February - Heart Month - to try them. Many desserts made with whole eggs can be made by using egg whites or frozen egg substitutes. Either alternative works well in the following recipes. But egg substitutes can’t be used in every recipe. For example, souffles, meringues, and mousses need beaten egg whites for higher volume. Some manufacturers do not recommend egg substitutes for recipes calling for more than four eggs or for use with packaged mixes, so read the label to be sure. You can also replace dairy products with low-cholesterol ingreidents. Margarine is a good substitute for butter in most cases and low-fat yogurt can be used in place of sour cream. And finally, don’t feel guilty for serving fresh fruit or a small scoop of frozen yogurt or sherbet with fruit on top for dessert. You can dress it up by serving it in a stemmed sherbet dish or layering in a parfait glass or adding a teaspoon of liqueur to flavor the fruit. If your loved one needs to cut back on fat/cholesterol/calories, you’re actually doing him/her a favor by not making the rich, gooey desserts to tempt them. If you pack a lunch, dried fruit and/or raisins are a good choice for dessert or a snack. They’re higher in calories than fresh fruit, but they’re loaded with vitamins and they travel well. The following recipes for Pound Cake and Black Forest Bars turned out well. Note that the Black Forest Bars have a meringue dollop on top in place of a whipped cream topping. Pound cake Vegetable cooking spray 2 1/2 cups plus 1 teaspoon sifted cake flour, divided 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup margarine, softened 3 egg whites or 1/2 cup frozen egg substitute, thawed 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1 (8-pounce) carton low-fat vanilla yogurt Coat bottom and sides of an 8 1/2x 4 1/2- x 3-inch loafpan with cooking spray; dust with 1 teaspoon flour, and set aside.

Spoon mixture into decorating bag fitted with a large star tip; pipe 16 meringue dollops onto pie filling. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned.

Pour into a 9 x 9-inch oiled and floured square cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 40 minutes. Yields: 12 servings. Frosting: 1/2 cup soft margarine 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons sherry Cream together the margarine, confectioners’ sugar and sherry until fluffy. Use to frost cooled cake. This recipe for Williamsburg Orange-Wine Cake is from the Heart Association Cookbook. The icing almost doubles the calories, so I’d garnish it with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar and a twist of orange rind. Also, note how small the serving is - 12 servings from a 9 inch square cake. This is another point to remember for helping people to eat wisely - give small servings, eat slowly and savor every bite. And no second helpings! We can and should enjoy a variety of foods - even desserts - when eaten in moderation. On February 14, there will be a “Be Kind to Your Heart Fair” at the Rappahannock County Health Department from noon to 4:30 p.m. Marion Facchina, Public Health Nurse, and the Health Department staff will be conducting cholesterol, blood pressure and weight checks for people. The Extension Office and Extension Homemaker Clubs will have an exhibit on nutrition as part of the Heart Month observation. I invite all county residents to stop by and learn how to "Be Kind to Your Heart.”

It was Lencten, shortened, in time, to Lent. So the name Lent was given to that springtime period of forty fast days from Ash Wednesday until Easter. Lent came to mean a time of penitence. And it is. But it is also a time of preparation, and of promise, For because Lent means Spring, it heralds good things to come. It forecasts the glorious message of Eastenjt is the dawn of the most beautiful season of the year. The bare branches of these trees will burst into bud and leaf with the touch of Spring. Our thoughts during Lent, our personal preparations, also will reach fruition when the forty days are through. Lent is the time for prayer and self-examination.
