Soldiers return is anxiously anticipated By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer It’s going to be a glorious celebration. Sons, brothers, sisters and fathers are coming home. With the liberation of Kuwait secure, United States military personel, once fighting to preserve freedom in the Persian Gulf, begin their long journey home to military bases and waiting family stateside. And, while many feel jubilation upon their return, no one can feel more happiness than those families directly affected by the war. Rachel Aylor of Sperryville said in the past seven months she has “been glued to the television set for information” about her son, Marine Cpl. Vincent “Pops” Aylor. With relief and happiness, Mrs. Aylor and her family await the arrival of their son, a 1987 graduate of Rappahannock County High School and a popular basketball player. “When he called me on March 6,” she said with happiness in her voice, “I was just so happy to hear his voice.” Cpl. Aylor should be aboard ship en route to his home base, San Francisco, right now. During the March 6 phone call from Saudia Arabia with his mother, Pops said he was planning to leave for the United States on March 17. See WAR, p.

Old Dominion Hunt Ball selects Flint Hill restaurant By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Nm Staff Writer For the first time ever, the Old Dominion Hunt Ball will be held at a restaurant in Rappahannock County, the School House Restaurant in Flint Hill Hunt member Sheila O’Brien, proprietor of the School House, said she is “very excited about it,” and very busy with the preparations.

Two become citizens in centennial ceremony By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Teenage brothers Sam and Kevin Kilhefner of Amissville were sworn in as American citizens during a special ceremony in Arlington for the adopted foreign children of Americans two weeks ago. When they arrived at the Key School for the ceremony, they learned that not only was it the day they would become naturalized citizens, it was also a special program commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Sam, 14, and Kevin, 12, are students in the Culpeper school system. Their father, John, is the cartoonist for the Rappahannock News. Mr. Kilhefner met the boys’ mother, Hannah, while working in Africa. He adopted Kevin and Sam and the Kilhefners have three younger children together. Those three kids, Johnny, Freddie and Brenda, are already citizens. Sam and Kevin said thtey were caught off guard by the reporters and cameramen at the BLUE RIDGE NEIGHBORS school when they arrived. Mr. Kilhefner started the naturalization process in July by filling out the requisite form, then met with an INS official on Jan. 7 in Arlington. The official told Mr. Kilhefner that the family would be notified in about six months and Kevin and Sam would be naturalized in a® courtroom ceremony, as is the normal practice. Then, about a month ago, the family recieved a call from another INS official inviting them to participate in the ceremony for adopted children of U.S. citizens, but they never knew it was connected with the INS centennial. The head of INS spoke, as did U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, and the Key School students put on a musical presentation. See CITIZENS, p.A-8

Family Life sees high participation By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer The Family Life curriculum in Rappahannock schools is going {smoothly in its second year, teachers {and principals report. J Parents can choose to have their (children opt out of the program, but 'fewer than 2 percent have done so .this year, both principals report. • j This percentage is down from ‘last year, when about 2 percent .opted out, they report. I The Family Life Curriculum covers many topics such as drug prevention, developing good family and ;peer relationships, the influence of {advertising on purchases, and respecting differences between people {as well as sex education. < “Family Life Education has been {integrated into the curriculum, and {that has made it less controversial,” {elementary principal Bemie Chesjshir said. ' He said that many of the topics iare covered throughout the year as {they come up, but that for “sensitive issues” teachers wait to notify parents before they teach the material iso the parents can be prepared to {follow up at home. “It’s being very {well received by parents,” he said. * High school principal John Toth also reported no complaints from parents this year. “Everything is going fine,” he said. Third grade teacher Cheryl Mellott said that most of the topics for third graders are covered in the regular health curriculum. ;;; “Most of our topics are about forming friendships, getting along in groups, social skills, not sex ed,” she said. Recently her students have been discussing television ads to learn how the media influences purchases, she said. In third grade students learn that babies begin with a sperm and, an egg and grow inside the mothers body for nine months before they are B6m. Mrs. Mellott said that the curriculum very clearly states that teachers cannot go beyond what is included for each grade level “and we don’t.” She said that if children ask a question she can’t answer under those guidelines, she tells them to ask their parents. “I feel pretty good about our curriculum,” she said. “It covers a wide range of topics from the media to drugs.” Mrs. Mellott did say she wished more materials were available that were suitable for third graders. Fourth grade is the first year seme topics are covered in sexually s&'parated classes. Richard Smith, as the only male fourth grade teacher, teaches the boys. Layne Vickers teaches the girls, and the third teacher has those who have opted out of the program.

Day REALTOR IS YOUR MORTGAGE ASSUMABLE? A seller today has lots of competition. The competition comes from other homes available for sale. Therefore, tremendous advantage accrues to a seller with the foresight to make his home easier to buy than other homes on the market. You may have a big advantage if your present mortgage can be assumed by a new buyer - especially if it was made at lower than current L rates. A Supreme Court decision upheld the right of a Federal Savings and Loans to enforce "due-on sale clauses. This stipulates that the balance of the mortgage must be paid off if the house is sold, however, certain mortgages can still be assumed, such as some state-chartered SflrL mortgages. Fannie Mae permits assumptions of federal-backed loans if the loan was made by a federal SfltL.

" We re here to help. 7 was very impressed with the responsibility of the students. They had a mature attitude and were eager to leam. They paid closer attention to these lessons than anything elsq I taught last year/ — Richard Smith Fourth-grade teacher identify the parts of the mammalian reproductive system and learn about changes occurring in puberty. “But most of the emphasis is on self esteem, decision making, child abuse and neglect and drug abuse,” Mr. Smith said. The topics are covered one class per week for 10 weeks during the social studies period, he said. Mrs. Vickers and Mr. Smith both reported that the children are very interested in the topics covered and are emotionally and intellectually ready for the lessons. “I was very impressed with the responsibility of the students,” Mr. Smith said. “They had a mature attitude and were eager to learn. They paid closer attention to these lessons than anything else I taught last year.” The teachers said they encouraged students to write down any questions they had, and they answered their questions during the next lesson. “It relieves embarassment,” Mrs. Vickers said. “They will ask questions they wouldn’t ask out loud. I tell them if you didn’t hear your question, go home and ask your parents; I can’t answer it.” “We were both nervous initially,” Mr. Smith said. “But with the level of parental support and the maturity and interest of the students, we see this as a positive.” Many of the objectives are the same in fifth and sixth grades, and Margaret Lee said she had presented the material to sixth grade the girls this year that was shown to her fifth graders last year. Some of the students who opted out last year ' took part in the program this year, she said. She also noted that they asked fewer questions this year, and she believes it is because most of their questions were answered last year. Mr. James Fountain teaches sixth grade boys. Like Mrs. Lee he had priase for a film strip series that is used as part of the curriculum. “These film strips did most of our work for us,” Mr. Fountain said. “If I had to do it on my own, I wouldn’t be as comfortable with it,” Mrs. Lee said. “I wish it was something we really didn’t have to deal with,” she said. “I wish the parents did it. I feel a little sad that we have to do it. In the past we didn’t have to WE’LL COME DOWN IF YOU’LL COME DOWN APPLE VALLEY ISUZU/VOLKSWAGEN Throe miles south ot the •81 - Rt 50 Intersection on Rl 522 South Next to Honda Cycle Shop 665-0080 va dlh 667-1664 get into this.” “There is a greater need today with diseases like AIDS and. unplanned pregnancy,” Mr. Fountain noted. “I guess that’s why I’m said,” Mrs. Lee said. In the high school much of the material in the Family Life Education is covered by the physical education teachers. Gary and Renee Leake teach eighth through tenth graders. Some of the time that means they have eighth graders mixed with ninth graders or ninth graders mixed with tenth graders, and in that case they cover the same material with the mixed classes. However one period a day they have a mixture of eighth and tenth graders, and for that period they have to juggle to cover topics in the Family Life curriculum. Mrs. Leake might teach the eighth grade girls while Mr. Leake has the tenth grade girls and all the boys in the gymnasium. They switch off like that until each group has received the required instruction. “It is only three times a year that they have this separation,” Mrs. Leake said. The girls are very responsive, she said. “They have lots of questions.” Sometimes they sit around a table to have the lessons. “It’s less formal than a classroom,” she noted. Mr. Leake said the boys were responsive also. “About three days before the class starts they get the maturity speech,” he said. “Each year the kids seem more mature, more prepared.” They had high praise for the “Power of Choice” video series. Much of the material in the curriculum is normally covered in tenth grade biology.

Jon Heddleston said he tries to fit these topics into the regular curriculum. Recently he had a class doing a program like an interview show on date rape. “We talked about what’s happening on college campuses. We also talked about attitudes toward rape victims,” he said. Mr. Heddleston said he was teaching the same approach that is taught to younger children in dealing with “inappropriate touches. Say no, move away, and tell someone. We also talk about how to avoid getting into such a situation in the first place,” he said. “Obviously only a small part of the curriculum ha|| to do with such sensitive subject matter.” ' “It is difficult to keep up with this curriculum,” he said. “It takes additional planning and preparation. I think parts of it are burdensome. If I want to use a magazine article, I have to get it approved.” Mr. Heddleston was a mamber of the citizens group that developed the Family Life curriculum. “Thirty people really hammered out a curriculum that is best suited to our community. “I agree with the curriculum totally, but that doesn’t make it easy,” he said. “The most challenging assignment I ever had in the classroom is to speak with students about the more personal issues of fidelity and chastity, but I’ve had a lot of success in that too. Some kids have said they appreciate it.” Mr. Heddleston said that sometimes the students want to argue. “Students sometimes play devil’s advocate, but they are getting more informatibn. Students need reminders from the other side, different from what they see in movies and on TV, but they should be getting that at home. Is it really the domain of the schools? I still wrestle with that question.” Station plans Easter special In celebration of the Easter season, WPRZ 1250AM, will once again feature an abundance of special programming beginning on Palm Sunday, March 24, and continuing through Easter Sunday, March 31.

There are currently eight runs for dogs, and the average population at the shelter is about 20, said Mrs. Clark. Younger dogs are able to share the runs, she said. Before the shelter was opened, the county had rented space at John Kline’s kennel, she said. As the space was rented, dogs were put to sleep after five days. “Now that more people know where we’re at, there has been more success at finding their original homes or adopting out,” said Mrs. Clark. At the new shelter, animals are kept on average for about a month. The shelter is expanding services: in the next month Mrs. Clark anticipates getting approval to vaccinate and worm the animals the shelter has been adopting out. Rabies clinics are being held every four months. Mrs. Clark also encouraged county residents who purchase large quantities of pet food to contact her. The shelter is able to purchase bulk quantities of cat, dog, rabbit and bird food at a discount twice a month. Dealing with stray animals all day, said Mrs. Clark, “we really emphasize the need to spay and neuter your pets. Any animals we adopt out we make the new owners sign a contract. Of the $25 adoption fee, $15 is refunded when they show us proof the animal has been spayed or neutered.” . Finally, starting next week the lost and found pet registry will run in the classified section of the Rappahannock News. The paper will run a box with shelter information as editorial content, however. The following animals have been picked up by Animal Warden Ray Pullen and are being held at the Rappahannock Animal Shelter in Amissville. Call Mrs. Clark at the shelter for more information, 937-3283 or 937-3336. Adult spayed female, very calm and loving, 5 years old. One-eyed Jack still here, needs home, please call.

Audit Bureau Citizens' rights The swearing-in as American citizens of Amissville teenagers Sam and Kevin Kilhefner two weeks ago was a clear demonstration that the system of immigration that built this ' country is alive and well. The Kilhefners were born in Africa and lived in Liberia and Siera Leone, a part of the world where elections are quite different and democracy takes much different forms. Sam and Kevin said one of the things they most looked forward to is voting when they are 18. Their father John, who married the boys’ mother in Africa and adopted them, said that their early memories of Election Day are fearful ones. Here in the United States, the scenes at polling places on - the first Tuesday in November are almost always congenial and polite, even when opposing politicians are doing lastminute campaigning outside. ' It’s too bad that the Kilhefner boys will learn that in the United States voting freely and safely is not only taken for - granted, most citizens don’t even bother to do it. It sometimes takes the fresh perspective of those who weren’t born into all of the wonderful rights we have here to make us all realize that they didn’t come easily to our founding fathers. There has been tremendous progress in the area of voter registration in the past 10 years, but much needs to be done. Voters in Rappahannock would do well to remember Sam and Kevin Kilhefner when it’s time to vote for constitutional officers and supervisors in November. I GUESS THE PUBLIC APPROVES THE BUDGET.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the Editor Fire fighters arrived in the nick of time To the Editor: I’m writing this letter to thank the Amissville and Flint Hill volunteer fire departments for their quick action which saved my house from disappearing in a cloud of smoke. About midnight, Thursday night (March 14), my wife and I had just finished watching a movie (“Blaze,” starring Paul Newman, of all things), when we smelled smoke. We checked the woodstove and, at first, didn’t detect the source. Then we spotted smoke coming in through an electrical outlet which clued us to the location of the fire — the inside of the wall between the tile hearth and the vinyl siding was burning. Woodstove sparks had somehow ignited a fire. We grabbed our son, dogs and cats and evacuated the house, then called the fire department. While waiting for the fire engines, we used garden hoses and a fire extinguisher to slow the fire. Soon thereafter, the fire engines arrived and the volunteers quickly went to work to terminate the blaze. They stripped off the vinyl siding and cut through the hearth and moved like Gen. Schwarzkopf to kill the fire. Soon, there was nothing but a hint of smoke in the air and the fire was out. The firemen then covered the hole in the wall with plastic, plus replaced the siding as best as they could to prevent further damage from the elements. Then, after making certain the fire was dead for good and that no other hazards were lurking in the shadows, they shook hands with us and bid us good night. One of the men said, “God was watching over you tonight.” I just nodded, but thought to myself, “God and the Volunteer Fire Department.” PATRICK M. VAN LUVEN Amiss ville Horse and rabbit stew To the Editor: In last week’s Rappahannock News (March 14), a good article explaining the increase of some $8,000 in the ’91-’92 budget for the Rappahannock County Library appeared under an unfortunate headline. The headline erroneously and, we are sure inadvertently, implied that the Rappahannock Library’s new building would “drive up” the coming year’s county budget. This is like saying we have a horse-and-rabbit stew, 50-50: one horse and one rabbit! The rabbit, which represents our county library, could not affect the financial budget mix substantially any more than the rabbit could affect the stew. MARY JAMIESON Sperryville Miltonic response To the Editor: Once again Rappahannock News reporting is off in its very own unimaginative and erroneous little world. Reference the article on the John W. Miller House, several errors were noted. The document provided to Lou Hatter was the work of independent consultants which I hired and was submitted to the Department of the Interior through the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, i.e. references such as “according to the department’s historians” are incorrect. The barn mentioned dates from 1925 and not the same era as the ice house and summer kitchen/servant quarters (1840) as stated in the article. The “I” form and the central passage relate to the same, not separate, characteristic. Furthermore Miller did not construct the Slate Mills Plant, he took it over from previous owners. With the lack of attention to detail Hatter combined the lack of effort to put the facts in more readable form. He simply lifted verbatim excerpts which were in essence technical descriptions from the document, this was combined with a failure to delve into the personal side of the history of the Miller property, for example - John N. Miller and O.D. Miller served with Mosby’s Rangers or the last of the Millers laid to rest in the family cemetary was Mary Virginia Miller (1868-1963) who might have been known to some News readers. An overabundance of quotes from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources contributed little or nothing. In essence what could have been an interesting perspective on the history of Rappahannock County became instead a pasting together of excerpts from a hacked up document. PHILIP S. MILTON Slate Mills There was no 'waste land' To the Editor: While not wishing in any way to belittle the contribution RAAC has made to our community since 1982,1 want to answer Sid Gottlieb’s statement that eight years ago “Rappahannock county was a cultural wasteland. There was no organized group to support the arts and entertainment in the county.” Since 1963 the Rappahannock Library has sought to support the arts and artists in the county and to provide informative, “cultural” programs for the public. All library functions are free and open to all. A sampling from the library’s scrapbook 1963-1984 reveals: 1966: Slide show, “Wildflowers,” photographed in Rappahannock County. 1968: Reception honoring local authors, including Ed Harris. 1969: July Fourth Exhibit of carvings, pottery, paintings, needlework, metal and leather work, books by local authors, and band music. Dom Bernard Theall, Catholic University professor, discussing “literature dealing with the problems of universities and the youth movements.” r oik song concert Dy Woodville residents Chuck and Nan Perdue. 1970: Helen Gahagan Douglas reading Emily Dickinson’s poems. Monthly programs by local residents. Topics included planned parenthood, ecology, and the stock market. 1971: July Fourth Musical Day, featuring “The Graven Image” rock group; spiritual singers led by Mrs. Rachel Aylor; a folk guitarist; a square dance demonstration; and a crafts exhibit. Program “a foxhom-blowing contest" and foxhunting tales with Jane Mcllvaine McClary. 1972: James J. Kilpatrick on the election. 1974: Kenneth Clark’s film series “Civilization.” 1977: Art exhibit, featuring local * artists. Carla Eugster reading her poetry. Music by Michael Krueger, Judy Bomberger, and Brad Fisher. 1978: Programs included Elizabeth Taylor’s film “National Velvet,” Senator Eugene McCarthy reading his poetry and discussing politics, Bryon Schumacher’s tripleimage slide show ‘The Face of Rural America,” naturalist/photographer John Trott on Virginia birds and other wildlife, Joseph Scherschel’s Australian slides, and Diana Bird’s China slides. 1981: Exhibitions of bookbinding and medieval stained glass techniques by Sally and Ed Sharp. 1982-84: Local zoologist John Rood on the Serengettis. Joy Luke’s demonstration, “The Magic of Color.” An evening with Ramsay Wood, story-teller, with local residents participating. Andy Klopp’s slide presentation of her travels. Throughout these years there were also book fairs, book review contests, Christmas parties, story hours, and film series for the children. Several times Maggi Rogers entertained with her puppets, as did “Puppets by Pizzazz.” There were art exhibits oL House Tour Weekends and other times. Shows included Charlie Tompkins’ photographs and the Wyeth collection of a friend of the library. The library has offered seminars on novels, short stories, plays, and poetry; knitting, and Ikebana, all taught by local residents. The Rappahannock Players’ famous first hit “HMS Pinafore” was sponsored by the library. A bus trip to see the film “Amadeus” was arranged. Recently there have been humanities programs on novels and poetry, sometimes accompanied by films or videos, as was the popular series “Modern American Poets, their Voices and Visions.” The last was made possible by a grant from the American Library Association and the National Endowment for the Humanities and by the much-appreciated cooperation of the local high schools. Was Rappahannock County really a “cultural wasteland” until 1982? GRACE SIMS Washington Loved visit, will return To the Editor: My family and I visited friends in Rappahannock County last week and visited Washington several times. I must say that I was truly delighted with the town (and county). The shops were extremely charming, the gallery most interesting, the “Inn” what I had hoped it would be and lunch at the “Cafe” was great - and on Saturday, to complete our list of activities, we attended “Murder at Howard Johnson’s” at the Theatre of Washington. The community is so very fortunate to have such talented people and such a wonderful facility such as the theatre. It is unusually attractive - both in the lobby and exterior. Hurrah for all of you in Rappahannock County! I plan to visit often. A contented guest. ANDREA LEECH Chapel Hill, N.C.

War Continued from page A-1 “He just sounded so cheerrui and everything,” his mother said, adding she could not help being happy, too. Though while the war rampaged through the dessert sands, Mrs. Aylor said she did “not have her heart in her throat” concerning her youngest son’s welfare. “Oh, I was worried, but he was in the Lord’s hands,” she said with pride and belief. “My heart was not only for my son but for all those other sons and daughters, too,” she said. For nearly two months, the family did not speak with Pops as he stood ground in the gulf. “He called us on Dec. 21,” his mother said, adding a Valentine arrived on Feb. 14 and a birthday card for his father, Feb. 8. “I knew he CPL. POPS AYLOR was alive because other people were gettirig cards and letters,” Mrs. Aylor said, adding she knew if the Marines did not show at her door, her son was safe. “No news was good news,” she said with laughter. On March 6, Pops called to tell his family he “was packing things up” in preparation to leave the dessert sands. “I just wish we could all get together and be with him and see him,” the Sperryville mother said, adding waiting for his arrival home are his older brother Nils and his sister-in-law, Sheri and their children, Nils and Monica, and his father Russell “Sam” Aylor. “It’s just we don’t know when he will be here,” she said, adding that although his arrival date is unknown, he does hope to be back in the county by the end of the month. 1ST LT. CHARLIE Hyde had to conceal his Christmas tree from the Saudis. He’s ‘stuck’ in the gulf until summer. While serving in the gulf, Cpl. Aylor worked with doctors and medics at Marine headquarters, though first aid wasn’t his only responsiblity. His battalion was one of the first to cross over into Kuwait. “I asked him if he had fired his gun,” his mother said, adding he answered “yes.” He also said he had seen “action” on his front line base. “I didn’t ask him anymore,” Mrs. Aylor said, adding he probally would not have been able to say much more. Communication is limited with soliders serving in the war. Letters from home could take a month in arriving; letters from a solider could take two weeks to a month to reach their destination, stateside. “He told me when he called that Old Pops is not forgotten,” Mrs. Aylor said with pride. Letters from home poured into his gulf postbox, keeping him posted on current social events at home and giving him a temporary escape. “The kids sent him pictures they made. People from the schools, the churches, friends and neighbors all wrote to him,” Mrs. Aylor said, adding she could “go on for hours” concerning all the people who had corresponded with Pops. “It makes me feel real good, too,” she concluded. ‘Things like that help me to survive,” she said, adding “the support she received from the community helped to keep her spirits up.” Marine L.Cpl. Steve Roland “is there and can’t get home,” his father Gary Roland of Chester Gap said with some sadness. “He called about two weeks ago and said he was going to be home the following week,” Mr. Roland said. L.Cpl. Roland has been in the gulf since early September. Before leaving for the Persian Gulf conflict he was stationed in Japan on maneuvers. “Come April, he will have been Four-laning of U.S. 211 expected to start in June Construction on the first part of the four-laning project of U.S. 211 should begin about June 1, Virginia Department of Transportation resident engineer Robert Moore said. Mr. Moore said he had scheduled a meeting for contractors for March that had to be cancelled because clean up work on contaminated soil at the former location of B and B Service Center is not completed. Mr. Moore said the delay was caused enitrely by the problem with the soil, not by lack of funding. “We have to satisfy State Water Control Board requirements,” he said. Mr. Moore expects this work to be completed this month. He said he expected the meeting to be rescheduled for April and bids to be submitted by the end of April. The work on the first section will continue the four-laning from where it ends just west of Washington to the Covington River bridge. Mr. Moore said he expects the work on the second section, from the Covington River to just east of Sperryville, to also begin this summer. Originally the highway department had expected work on the first section to be nearly completed before work on the second section began, but “the first project was slowed enough so the second caught up,” Mr. Moore said. “It looks like they will pretty much be going on simultaneously.” He said he expects the entire project to be completed sometime in the spring or summer of 1992.

Not only has his departure date been moved once, but twice and now a third time. The family doesn’t expect him home until summer. “He was supposed to arrive on March 21 but that also has fallen through,” his father said with some disgust, adding that not only does he anxiously await his son’s arrival to base in Jacksonville, N.C., but his son, Tommy Roland of Rappahannock, and his daughter-in-law, with the solider’s first child, a daughter, four months old, are also waiting. “He’s not seen her except in pictures,” the proud grandfather said of his son’s child, adding his son joking says at the rate he is arriving home, his “daughter may be college age before he does see her.” Taken from a maneuver in Japan, L.Cpl. Roland joined the 3rd Battalion in the gulf and was the 17th vehicle to cross the boarder into Kuwait as the liberation of country was at hand. “He said he has 11 rolls of film,” Mr. Roland said, adding his son’s partner has 19 rolls of film. “Steve drives the huge thing that tows the tank, called an 88,” he said, The young Marine’s division was the one of the ones “that took Kuwait,” said Mr. Roland. As with Mrs. Aylor, Mr. Roland said the family knew little of their son’s activity while he was on duty in the gulf. “He couldn’t say much,” Mr. Roland said, adding they “knew the division and they would listen to the news and pray for his safety.” “We did not speak to him until he returned to Saudia Arabia,” Mr. Roland said, explaining he contacted the family just before air strikes on Iraq began. “Once the ground war started, we did not hear anything, not for those first few days,” he said, adding this was one of the hardest periods. “I just want to get him home,” he said. “We would write often,” the father said of correspondence with his son, saying a high school class in Connecticut adopted his son and wrote letters often. “That’s one of • Rear tines, powered wheelel • So eeey, you guide II with JUST ONE HAND®/ • Models shed for every garden/s • Factory-authorized sales and servlcel Richard's Engine Sales & Service Rt. 29, Leon, VA • 547-2121 Whirlpool Chest Freezer Model EH150FXN • 14.8 cu. ft.

The ambiguity of a loved one’s whereabouts can be the hardest thing to deal with. Jeff Ehrhart of Scrabble knows this feeling. His brother, Army Chief Warrant Officer Steve Ehrhart, has been floating around spots in the gulf region since the conflict began. His military intelligence position keeps his location and task confident tial, leaving only questions for the family. “The last phone call was to let us know his plains had changed,'‘ again,” Mr. Ehrhart said, adding often the family would worry about his brother’s situation, only to find out later he was not with the batallion or unit struck. “Right before the ground war began, he sent his personal belongings home,” Mr. Ehrhart said, adding his brother told his wife in Fort Bragg, N.C., that he was moving. The family thought he was with the 11th Battalion, a unit fighting the Iraqi Republic Guard, but, later learned he was not. “He does not talk much L.CPL. STEVE ROLAND on the phone, just changes the subject,” his brother said, adding that for news the family has resorted to the media, both television and newspapers. “I felt no news was good news, so... ” he said with a hint of sad laughter. Rose Anne Sharp of Washington feels the same way. Her family awaits word on her brother, 1st Lt. Charles Hyde. “He’s not home, yet,” she said with saddness, adding “the family SEAMAN JULIAN GROVES has not heard directly when he will arrive.” “He could still be inside Iraq,” she said, explaining her brother was stationed with the 24th Infantry, a large tank unit which swept around Iraq. “The last time we talked to him was on January 16 around noon,” she said, adding it was the afternoon before the air raid began. “He couldn’t say much of anything and we were all excited and talking at once,” she said, adding her brother’s wife was present for the call with their newborn daughter, 7 months old. “We know there is still a contingent of the 24th in Iraq blowing up bunkers and ammunition sites,” Mrs. Sharp said of her brother’s possible location. “We get all our news from the television and newspapers,” she said, explaining while her family ususally does not watch a great deal of television, during the past seven months, they have spent many evenings watching CNN News. “I started making my brother a quilt of red, white and blue with stars and stripes and eagles,” she said, adding it started with “tears of sadness and has ended with stars and stripes of happiness.” While news is limited coming from her brother, the family has written often. “You could say my mother is on pins and needles and that would put it lightly, but my father is taking it better,” she said. Her brother attended military schools as a youth, was an active member of ROTC and graduated from a military college. “He is very professional about this. He said he just wants to do what needs to be done,” she said. His attitude is shared by Navy Seaman Julian Groves of Washington. A 1990 graduate of Rappahannock County High School remembered for his basketball skills, he was taken right from boot camp to the gulf region. “Thank God he was on his way when the cease-fire was announced,” his father, Julian Groves, said. “He left March 6 and is stationed on the USS San Francisco.” The young sailor joined the Navy in November. “We talked with him about it for awhile,” his father said, adding the young seaman “felt it was his duty and when the time came he packed his things and went. ” Today, he could be on his first tour of duty in the Red Sea. “We miss him a great deal,” his father said, adding the family feels only relief the cease-fife was announced before his tour. “He may be home in a week or six weeks,” the father said, adding CPL. RICHIE DODSON the family really did not know, as many troops were leaving but many were still assigned to duty in the gulf. The parents of Marine Cpl Richie Dodson, Ronald and Anti Dodson of Viewtown, said the 1987 RCHS graduate saw action on the ground in Kuwait. “He was in the ground war at the airport and at the oil fields around Kuwait City,” said Mrs. Dodson. He called last week and told his parents he hopes to be back in the States this weekend. Cpl. Dodson lives in Culpeper, and was called up with a reserve unit from Richmond. “They were the only reserve unit that saw any action,” said Mrs. Dodson.

Wakefield School students also participated in the Harvard Model Congress that was held in Boston, Mass. Seven students attended the conference, accompanied by sponsor and faculty member Margaret Doyle. The Harvard Model Congress was founded in 1984 to help secondary school students gain a better understanding of the important issues facing our society and how these issues are addressed by the various in stitutions in our political system. The conference provides students with an opportunity to act the role of members of Congress and key players in the Executive Branch. Students are given a selected set of issues and crises to research and then they spend four days in Boston immersed in the substantive realities and intricacies of our political system. The Wakefield students attending the conference and their assignments were as follows. Locke Bell of Fauquier County was assigned the role of a liberal lobbysist on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Lee Daugherty of Clarke County was a member of the National Security Council. Justin Harrell of Haymarket was a Democrat from Arkansas serving on the Commerce, Science, Transportation and Energy, and Natural Resources Committees.

Lyt Wood to conduct tree pruning workshop By LAURIE ANNE BROWN Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer Lyt Wood, local forester and arborist, will present a one-day workshop on “The Art of Pruning” at Washington’s Town Hall on Saturday, March 30. Mr. Wood, who has conducted similar workshops at Virginia’s State Arboretum at Blandy Farm, says that participants “will approach the task of pruning as a creative process.” “A tree is a living being in its own right,” Mr. Wood explains. “It is striving towards its own ultimate form and it has its own needs that are quite apart from our own desires. Willfully changing its shape is something to be undertaken very seriously and respectfully.” Mr. Wood asserts that the tree itself “has nothing at all to do with our own whims and prejudices. It is not easy, but absolutely important that we avoid projecting these things onto the living plant during the pruning process.” Yet it is possible to prune in this way, he says, without any sacrifice in fruit production or other practical benefits. Truly successful and creative pruning begins with the effort to perceive exactly what the tree really is. This approach will allow the tree to develop a form that appears more natural than the average orchard tree. The objective of the artist who is pruning, he says, “is to enhance the tree’s own natural tendency to develop a form that is sturdy and functional.” An examples that illustrate the effects of conventional pruning which he describes as “reactionary,” Mr. Wood draws attention to the hundreds of trees around the county in lawns, in orchards and under power lines that have been “topped.” ‘Topping is one way to i control tree height,” he says. But this method of height control is only temporary; trees that survive this treatment will invariably sprout and grow Upwards, more vigorously than before. “A tree wants to grow up!” he says. “If you try to force it in any other direction, you'll always have to come back and cut more upright growth. It will continue to grow upwards until the day it dies.” The result is that a tree can become “addicted” to frequent pruning - “It needs to be headed back every year to keep its height down,” Mr. Wood explains. “Thinning out, not heading back, is the best way to control height growth. It is possible to prune so that a tree’s height growth slows down of its own accord. It is even possible to prune so that height growth stops altogether.” And as height growth diminishes, he adds, the need for more pruning in future years also diminishes. Mr. Wood, formerly Rappahannock’s county forester, has been a resident of the county since 1976. He is owner of “Tree Works,” a private business based in Washington devoted to tree care and forest management. This workshop will be an introduction to pruning all kinds of trees. It will focus initially on apple trees, as a means of familiarizing participants with procedures and concepts related to pruning; then other tree species will be compared with apples. Topics will include: objectives of pruning; tools and techniques; how to prune safely; heading, thinning and other pruning cuts; how a tree responds to pruning; summer and dormant pruning; and other tree care practices, such as fertilization and tree protection. Everyone will have the opportunity to prune apple trees. There is a fee of $20 for the workshop ($26 after March 26). Those who register early will receive materials for advance reading. For information, contact the Tree Works office at 675-1088.

THE SENIOR trip was ‘never dull,’ said Becky Smith. Seniors hit slopes at Seven Springs for their class trip By LINDA JENKINS and MICHELE RAYNOR Rappahannock News Contributing Writers A senior tradition has once more been fulfilled at RCHS. Thirty-three seniors and five chaperones spent three nights and four days last week skiing at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, Pa. After long months of fundraising events, which included selling refreshments at Homecoming and selling about 3,600 candysticks and 7,800 candybars, the date arrived. Each person had paid the $241 fee and packed their bags in anticipation. The seniors were to leave at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, and everyone was excited. That is, until the snow fell. Because of the bad weather conditions in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night, the trip was put off until Thursday. The seniors were furious and muttered how ironic it was for a skiing trip to be postponed because of snow. But, Thursday dawned clear and snow-free. The seniors and their chaperones were en route by approximately 7:30 a.m. that morning. The chartered bus chugged along for about four hours, arrving at Seven Springs around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday night’s lost lodging had been exchanged for another ski lift ticket good on Sunday. Departure time would be later than originally planned, and the Andrew Carnegie Museum stop was scrapped. Four chalets awaited the seniors, with at least one chaperone in each chalet at all times. Chaperones were vice principal David Smith, secretary Kelly Settle, teacher Vicki Eastham, guidance counselor Joyce GoodEwing, and school board member Bryant Lee. After the seniors bundled into many layers of clothes, they headed Literacy offers reading tutor training Emmanuel Church and Literacy Volunteers of Fauquier County will host an English as a Second Language Tutor Training at Piedmont Parish Hall at Emmanuel Church, Delaplane, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27.

The training is based on bran new ESL material from Literac Volunteers of America and will bt led by Barbara Greco of Warren County LVA and Sandi Wheeler of Literacy Volunteers of Fauquier County. Training has been offered to 10 surrounding counties. Past experience with English as a Second Language is helpful but not required. Throughout the workshop, several active students and tutors will tell of their learning and teaching experiences. There is an $11 charge for materials. Once trained, a volunteer is matched with an adult or young adult who wishes to learn or improve English speaking and reading skills. Call 349-8142 to register. Baseball sign-up to be March 23 Youth baseball sign-up will held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March at the Amissville Volunteer Fire Company and Rappahannock Elementary. The league, which runs from April 27 through June, sports 18 teams for baseball players ages 6-18. Call Cheryl Digges at 937-5157 for more information. JS S3.i out to the ski lodge to get their skis. Those who had skied before had no trouble with their boots and skis. On the other hand, the newcomers spent several minutes staring at their boots wondering how in the world they buckled. Seven Springs features 27 slopes, ranging :/om beginner to double degrees of difficulty. Most everyone started off on the beginner slopes, except for the newcomers, who paid $8 for a ski lesson. The lesson taught the basic concepts of sidestepping up a hill and wedging, a technique that helps a skier stop. The one thing the lesson didn’t teach was how to get up once you fell down, which everyone did at one time or another. Skiing was the main attraction at Seven Springs, but it wasn’t the only thing to do. Many seniors spent time in the heated indoor pool and in hot tubs. Not only was this fun, but it also helped relieve aching bodies from skiing. Other big attractions included indoor racquetball and volleyball courts, an 18-hole miniature golf course, work-out room with s^tfna, bowling alley, roller skating rink, and game rooms. One favorite in the game room was air-hockey. When tired of athletics, the senior stayed in the chalets either listening to music or watching TV. When the chaperones left, the seniors had to leave too, so some of them watched the slopes from the ski lodge or browsed in the shops and restaurants found in the main lodge. Most meals were included in the $241 package, which also included breakfast buffets and a Saturday night Grand Buffet. Most of the seniors brought tons of junk food, including sodas. As Jan Herman noted, “We drank so many cans of sodas that we probably could have paid for our trip if we had recycled them.” “It was a lot of fun, even though skiing wasn’t my favorite thing to do. Thanks for everything, guys,” said Holly Moffett. “The chaperones gave us a lot of room to plan and do the things We wanted,” commented Zack Allen. “The senior trip was never dull,” added Becky Smith. “Whether skiing, playing volleyball or racquetball, or just horsing around, there was always something to do. The bus rides were adventurous and I had a great time.” “You got to know people again that you had known but lost touch with through the years,” Michell Grohs said.

SMITH Home Extension Agent The sale of eggs will skyrocket just before Easter as families prepare for the traditional egg hunt. Here are some tips for cooking eggs followed by recipes to help you use them up. Never boil an egg. High temperatures toughen them and cause an ugly - but harmless - green ring to form around the yolks. Follow this simple hard-cook method instead. Place the eggs in a saucepan with enough water to come at least 1 inch above the egg. Cover and bring rapidly to a boil, then remove them from heat immediately. Let the eggs stand in hot water 15-17 minutes for large eggs, adjusting the time by 3 minutes for each size larger or smaller. Then quickly cool the eggs under cold running water. Refrigerate hard-cooked eggs as soon as decorating is completed and again immediately after the hunt. Use them within a week. They’ll taste great in some of the following redoes. Saucy eggs 6 hard-cooked eggs 8 slices bacon 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup milk 1 (2-ounce) jar diced pimiento, drained 1 tablespoon chopped chives Paprika (optional) Chopped fresh parsley (optional) 1 (3-ounce) can chow mein noodles Slice eggs in half lengthwise; place in a lightly greased 8-inch baking dish. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon, and set aside. Saute mushrooms in drippings until tender; drain well, and spoon over eggs.

Citizens Continued from page A-1 “It won’t happen again for 100 years now,” said Sam. After the ceremony the boys were caught by a Channel 7 cameraman and interviewed by Paul Berry, which didn’t go unnoticed by their friends in Amissville and Rappahannock. Johnny was even zoomed-in on, which took the family by surprise when Brenda pointed it out. The Kilhefners saved the news broadcast on videotape. Sam said Liberia, where the family lived until four years ago, was beautiful but he’s not anxious to go back, especially given that part of Africa’s unstable politics. “I think the reason they understand and appreciate what voting is, is that in Africa voting days are days when you want to lock your doors,” said Mr. Kilhefner, who travelled extensively in the continent while working for the International Affairs Department of the AFL-CIO. Both Sam and Kevin said they looked forward to voting in a few years and enjoyed their new lives in Culpeper. Allison Continued from page A-1 closed in the affidavit is that a socalled pen register was kept by the FBI of all of the numbers of all incoming and outgoing calls from both of Allison’s residences dating back to a court order in U.S. District Court on June 26, 1989. According to court documents, a wiretap was needed because investigators believe that “the fact that Allison may have informational contacts with local law enforcement would . . . jeopardize physical surveillance,” according to Larson. U.S. Attorney Jay Apperson, the prosecutor in the case, would not comment when asked which law enforcement agencies were thought to be feeding information to Allison. “I know for a fact tha^ it’s not Rappahannock,” said Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward. In another Allison case development, a sixth person, David Moore of Upperville, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution and investigation of Allison, said Apperson. Others who have already pleaded guilty are Henry Payne of Harris Hollow, Ronnie Kendrick of Marshall, Randy Shirkey of Marshall, Ian Nicholson of Marshall, and Jimmy Melvin of Front Royal, now in prison on a cocaine conviction in Warren County Circuit Court. Two others, yet unidentified, have entered pre-indictment sealed pleas and are cooperating with the government, said Apperson.

Only Allison and his sister, Thelma Allison Knowlton, have not pleaded. Apperson said he expects the trial, which begins April 19, to last about four days. He said it looks as if the case will go to trial. Pre-trial motions are April 12. In requesting the wiretap back in October, Apperson testified and named several people whose names had not previously surfaced in official court documents as being involved in the alleged conspiracy: Wayne Leonard of Sperryville, Jen.nifer Erdley Jackson of Warrenton, Christine Rebecca Smelser (Melvin), Joseph F. Claffey Jr. of Hilton Head, S.C., Angela Celeste Allison (Allison’s daughter) and Laurie Beth Jones, Allison’s girlfriend. According to Apperson, they “and others yet unknown have committed, are committing, and will continue to commit offenses involving the distribution of cocaine . . . the possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, . . . use of a (phone) to facilitate the commission of narcotics felonies involving cocaine, . . . interstate travel in aid of narcotics distributions, . . . and the laundering of money derived from narcotics distributions.” An new revelation from Larson’s affidavit is that one of the government’s anonymous sources, “Confidential Informant I,” was at the Fauquier County residence of Sally Bolton when he or she “observed Allison store a green plastic garbage bag containing what CI-1 estimated to be five to ten pounds of cocaine at Bolton’s residence.” Phone calls to Ms. Bolton Tuesday were not successful in contacting her. Larson told the court that Allison “usually carries approximately three grams of cocaine for personal use in a maroon leather pouch which Allison usually keeps in his left shirt pocket.” CI-1 also told Larson that Allison “obtains a new supply of cocaine approximately every two weeks.” He described Allison as driving around on back roads and changing cars several times in the course of a day. Apperson said Allison would drive the back roads to avoid police surveillance. Larson said that CI-1 also “stated that Jennifer Jackson of Long and Foster Realty, Warrenton, Virginia, had handled the purchase of at least one of Allison’s real estate acquisitions.” Ms. Jackson could not be reached by phone Tuesday. “CI-1 also stated that Allison has economic interest in the Comer Garden, Middleburg, Virginia, which ik a flower shop owned by Ms. Bolton.' CI-1 also advised that Allison has invested in a jumping horse owned and trained by Martha Sifton Jackson of Hume,” according to court records, Mrs. Jackson could not be reached by phone Tuesday. Another allegation Larson makes in his affidavit is that CI-1 claims that he or she has “personally observed Allison sell retail amounts of cocaine to at least 50 different people.” Another informant, CI-2, told Larson that Allison paid Jimmie Melvin’s wife Christine Smelser between $5,000 and $6,000 “for Melvin to retain an attorney to represent him” after being arrested for cocaine charges in Warren County. Apperson would not comment on that allegation. According to Larson’s statement to the court, three people in Fauquier County accrued substantial debt to Allison for cocaine: Delia Myers of Hume, Jeannie Ritchie of Bealeton and Kevin Muncy of Warrenton. Efforts to contact them Tuesday were not successful. Town Continued from page A-1 and would like to donate an easement protecting the facade. Council member Ray Gooch will focus on coordinating town celebrations with community groups (the Fourth of July and the Colonial Christmas Weekend), Susan Parrish will examine planning for future parking needs, Janice Moffett will work on a house numbering system for the 911 Emergency system, and Brad Fisher’s subject is finding new revenue sources for the town budget. Mark Bailey will explore new street lights and Newbill Miller will oversee protection of the historic setting of the town, including open space preservation. Other legislative and planning items on the agenda, items that will be worked on with the Planning Commission, are: revision of the subdivision ordinance, the five-year review of the Comprehensive Plan, revision of the Zoning Ordinance, revision of the Historic District Ordinance, the cable TV agreement, the five-year capital improvements plan, contracts for the town well and water system upgrades, the solid waste management program and towncounty boundary adjustment. In other council business last week, Mrs. Parrish suggested that town attorney Franklin B. Reynolds Jr. ask the Virginia Department of Transportation to post 25 mph speed limit signs on Blue Ridge Avenue at the town limits. Mrs. Parrish said other roads leading into town are clearly marked at the town limits. “We have four houses right there with small children,” she said. Speeding has been a problem coming into town from Harris Hollow, making a sign needed, she said. She also asked Mr. Reynolds to question VDOT about a problem with illegal parking on Piedmont Avenue. Mrs. Parrish suggested the town ban the sale of alcohol by the fire department on the Fourth of July, but Washington Fire Chief Roger Roach said after the meeting that the department stopped selling beer at the Fourth of July a few years ago. Chief Roach said the fire company stopped selling beer at functions altogether after a problem with fighting during a “street dance.” At the meeting Mr. Morehouse announced the appointments of three people to the Capital Improvements Committee: Mr. Fisher, Diane Bruce and Edward Barton. The committee will develop a five-year plan for the town. An item that had been on the agenda for the meeting, adoption of a joint resolution with the county on the town-county boundary, will be acted on in April. Fauquier sheriff gets help for admitted alcoholism By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer WARRENTON — Fauquier County Sheriff Ashby W. Olinger has taken a medical leave and hospitalized himself for treatment of alcoholism. Maj. Warren L. Jenkins, the department’s chief deputy, made the announcement Monday morning, releasing a written statement from Olinger. “This is to inform all the people of Fauquier County that, effective March 17, 1991,1 have admitted myself into a treatment center for medical reasons to treat my disease of alcoholism,” the statement began. Olinger, 42, appointed Jenkins to “assume the duties and responsibilities of Sheriff” in his absence. Jenkins said he expects Olihger to be on leave for “about a month. ” OlingeFs statement continued, “Mjyor Jenkins has served in the Sheriffs Office for 22 years and has been chief deputy for over seven years. The citizens of Fauquier County can have complete confidence in his leadership.” Jenkins declined to identify the treatment center. “Saying where he is won’t do anybody any good,” he said. He said that Olinger has not indicated that he has changed his plans to seek a third term as sheriff in November. “That, obviously, is the decision of the sheriff. He hasn’t told me anything different,” he said. The sheriff’s statement concluded, “I ask for your prayers and good wishes for my complete recov Jenkins said he will conduct the department’s operations in a “business as normal” fashion. “I have a lot of experience with the office, and 1 can run it.” Although he can contact the sheriff in an emergency, Jenkins added, he does not intend to do so unless absolutely necessary. Olinger was elected sheriff in 1983 after serving as a deputy sheriff for 15 years. He joined the Sheriffs Office as a dispatcher while a senior at Fauquier High School. After graduation he became a deputy and was later promoted to investigator. He resigned from the department in March 1983, when he announced his candidacy for sheriff against incumbent Luther Cox. Olinger defeated Cox in the Democratic primary, then beat Republican Charles Cooper in the general election that November. Olinger has faced other personal problems in the past, including a bout with cancer in 1985 and the bankruptcy of his part-time dairy farming business, run with his brother, John, in 1989. Olinger is a native of the Bealeton area, where he still lives with his wife, Carolyn. They have one grown daughter. Jenkins is also a Fauquier County native who was graduated from FHS in 1965. Following a stint in the Air Force, including one year in Vietnam, he returned to Fauquier and joined the Sheriffs Office as a dispatcher in 1969. He became a deputy sheriff later that year and was made a shift supervisor by Sheriff Luther Cox in 1973.

Dawn Dugan wins old-fashioned race on Oliver's Tiger By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer It appeared that Dawn Dugan couldn’t wait to untack. “When she crossed the finish, her saddle was two feet behind the normal position. She had about ridden the saddle off of him,” said Oliver Brown, owner of Rappahannock’s old-fashioned winner Oliver’s Tiger. Dugan rode Brown’s horse to victory March 17, when the Rappahannock Hunt staged its old-fashioned race at 10 a.m. at Thornton Hill farm. The field was a small but elite group of five runners: Dawn Dugan on Oliver’s Tiger, Pete Aylor on Marlboro Prince, Robin Bateman on Top Rock (Harvester), Bud Stewart on Shelby and Bill Prime on Shell Out. Oliver’s Tiger ran the four-mile course in 10:52. Marlboro Prince finished 36 seconds later, taking the heavyweight trophy and the opposite sex one. Top Rock was another minute behind Marlboro Prince, with Shelby galloping fourth. Shell Out and Bill Prime did not finish, falling at a fence after rounding the third beacon. Brown said Dugan had the best route of the competitors. “I said the worse thing you can do is to run in your own backyard because you don’t look at it as objectively,” he added. Dugan must have taken his words to heart. “She took a separate way and saved 30 seconds,” said Brown. All riders, whatever route they chose, had to cross the Thorton River twice in their trek around the beacons. “It (the course) was set up with several options in mind,” Brown said. According to Brown, Dugan carefully rated her horse, saving his energy for a run at the finish. “She started slow, and he’s a hard horse to keep together—he drifts. But she was into him today. I was surprised how much faster she was than Marlboro Prince,” said Brown. Flint Hill-based group to sing gospel music Gospel vocal groups from Flint Hill and Front Royal will be raising the rafters at Washington Baptist Church this weekend. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) is presenting a gospel concert at the church at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 24. The concert will feature The Brothers, a Southern Gospel trio based in Front Royal that is nationally recognized as one of the finest Southern Gospel groups around today and The Voices of Inspiration, a gospel choir from the Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill. The Brothers consists of two brothers, Danny and Roger Figgins, and Benny Roach, lead singer. Backing them up is Randy Simpson on drums and Larry Daniel on guitar. The Brothers formed in 1980, although they have been singing together for almost 14 years. In 1982, they performed at the White House for President Reagan and in 1983 they won the gospel contest at the Jamboree USA in Wheeling, W.Va. and were named the official gospel group for the Jamboree. They have opened for many of the big names in country music including Loretta Lynn, The Statler Brothers, Ronnie Milsap and Lee Greenwood. The Brothers currently have seven albums to their credit. The Voices of Inspiration gospel choir has been based at the Macedonia Baptist Church for many years. The nine-member choir consists of all brothers and sisters, so it is truly a family group. Accompanying themselves with tamborines and with Carl Brooks on piano, The Voices of Inspiration live up to their name. Other group members are Gloria Myers of Flint Hill, Mary Frye of Huntly, Kesley Russell of Huntly, Helea Russell of Huntly, Lillian Taylor of Front Royal, Dorothy Brooks of Front Royal, Deborah Burrows of Front Royal, Darlene Green of Hume, Brenda French of Marshall and Gloria Jackson of Dale City. “We stay pretty busy travelling around playing for different churches,” said Mrs. Myers. “We just hate to turn people down.” Tickets for this special event are $5.50 for adults and $3 for children under age 12. For ticket outlets and information, call RAAC at 675-3193 or the Arts Hotline at 67S* 3073. Ki Theatre hosts dancers 'Exchange' features choreographers The form, style and dance of three local artist are featured in the last of the series “The Exchange” at 7:30 p.m. April 7, at the Town Hall in Washington. “Dancers and Choregraphers” is the final selection in this four part series. Artists Sally Nash, Sharon Wyrrick and Denise Read are featured. While each of these artist is well-known in their own circles, they may be unfamiliar to the Rappahannock audience. For this reason, they were to conclude “The Exchange” series. “It was called “The Exchange” because it has been and is devoted to dialoge between the artist and the audience,” Julie Portman, director of Ki Theatre in Rappahannock, said, adding not only is it a question-answer session but a means to show the audience how important it is to the art as well as making the audience familiar with the numerous disiplines of artists in our community. “Too many artist in this community do not have their works presented at home,” she said, and while these three women have performed on stages around the United States, some have not performed for a Rappahannock audience. Sally Nash of Sperryville is well-known to Rappahannock readers. Her Last Minute Wood Company Dance Company has performed in Washington, D.C. and New York as well as other major cities and her pieces have become a familiar part of the Rappahannock art community. She will perform, as well as others working with her, a new and original piece. Denise Read, although she is not a Rappahannock resident, is a familiar face to the area. She is an active member of Ki Theatre and divides her time between Rappahannock and Charlottesville. Sharron Wyrrick of Woodville is a newcomer to the county but she is a familiar face on stage. Her Full Circle Dance Company has performed in various cities around the United States. Tickets for this event are $6 at the door or $5 in advance. Tickets-in-advance can be purchased at Mountainside Market or by calling 703-987-3164 or by sending $5 per person for reserve seating to Ki Theatre, P.O. Box 203, Washington, 22747. RAAC changes include finding new venues By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) has been an integral part of the artistic and cultural development in this county. It has brought famous musicans, ethnic dances and dancers, comics and storytellers, movies, plays and musical productions to entertain and educate young and old Rappahannock residents. It has grown in its eight years of activity and as with any organization, it has changed. After their recent review by the RAAC Futures Committee, RAAC has undergrone several changes. “We’re still percolating” on issues pinpointed by the Futures Committee — a group of eight persons that gathered to organize and compile a community review of RAAC — RAAC president Charlie Tompkins said, adding soon after the report was filed, “the theatre crisis occured.” Over the past eight years, RAAC performances, productions and weekly weekend movies have often been presented in the newly renovated Theatre at Little Washington, once known as the Gay Street Theatre, located on Gay and Jett streets in Washington. With cost of productions, performers, movie rental, and theatre rental increasing, RAAC was forced to set aside many of the issues brought forth by the Futures Committee to deal with the theatre situation. “The sudden increase in rent at the theatre” brought about many changes for RAAC and will continue to do so in the near future, president Tomkins said. “RAAC members were ambivalent about getting into a situation where we would be forced to produce events twice a month,” in order to meet rent costs, Mr. Tompkins said, sitting in his Washington office. “We do not want to become a tourist attraction,” he said of RAAC’s goals, explaining that in order to meet the cost of rent at the theater the arts organization would be forced to increase the number of events presented. He said this not only would cost residents more, it could drain energies from people who attend events as well as volunteers who support them. ‘We are here to support local entertainment,” Mr. Tompkins said with determination ringing in his voice, as he said increasing the number of events sponsored by RAAC could force the group to advertise in the Northern Virginia region for support as well as find artists from other places to perfiaom or exhibit. A move of this sort would be opposite of what the 4Everyone is full of ideas_We have a bucketload of suggestions and what we need are people willing to help make them happen.' — Charlie Tompkins RAAC member Futures Committee found necessary. Their summary states RAAC needs “...To involve itself more than it has in the past in presentation of the products and performances of local artists . . . stimulate discussions and presentations of the process employed by local artists . . . help with grant proposals, publicity and administrative problems of local artists.” With community interest in mind, Mr. Tompkins said after several weeks that “the negotiating with theater owner Wendy Weinberg fell through and RAAC was forced to change its movie offerings” as well as find other sources for productions. “Sunday night is the only night we (RAAC) can afford to rent the theater,” he said, adding as of March 17, movies are offered to the public on Sunday only. Times will vary according to the movie, but projected time for movie curtain is 7:30 p.m. Matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $3 for children and $4 for adults, at the door. “We have several good movies booked for the season,” Mr. Tompkins said, adding he hopes the public will continue to support the movie program. The movie program was one of the several topics covered by the Futures Committee. While no one expected such a change, the committee found a change was necessary. In the summary, one film per month was suggested creating a total of 12 per year or offering a thematic series annually. In the compromise, RAAC will offer about 50 movies annually, one per week. Foreign films, childrens’ movies and box office favorites are all in the lineup. “Our biggest fear is that people will not think of us if we are not using the theater,” Mr. Tompkins said of RAAC’s feeling concerning leaving the theatre, altogether. “But, we have held several things in the community with a positive response,” he explained, referring to the recently held events at Wakefield School, Washington Baptist Church and at the home of Sid Gottlieb. “Now, we are looking at changes like these,” he said. A change of this sort correlates to the summary filed by the Futures Committee stating, “...RAAC needs to develop more intimate and cooperative relationships with other arts and community organizations in the area.” It also calls for a community calendar maintained and produced by RAAC members. “This is one thing that is a direct result of the committee,” Mr. Tompkins said, adding at present, Mr. Got' tlieb and Page Smith are compling a community calendar, a monthly log of events by various organizations in the communuity, printed by the RAAC office and distributed throughout spots in the community. “We want those with imput or request to contact the office so the calendar can be complete,” Mr. Tompkins said, adding deadlines and details for the calendar and its usage can be obtained by contacting the RAAC office between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Wednesday and on Friday, at 675-3193 or by stopping by the office located at the end of Gay Street in Washington. “We will send copies of the calendar to groups who participate and from that point more copies can be made,” he said of the calendar’s circulation. Cost is the determining factor for calendar distribution. As with any non-profit organization, cost is the determining factor in many aspects of production. “RAAC is attempting to do too much,” Mr. Tompkins said. This statement reflects those made by the Futures Committee, while stating “...RAAC should continue to provide a modest level of support in the arts to the schools in the county,” The summary also recomends fewer movies, fewer monthly programs, more volunteer assistance and new fund-raising techniques. Opening the review, the committee stated “... RAAC activity needs to be balanced against the available human and financial resources of RAAC.” “Everyone is full of ideas,” Mr. Tompkins said of RAAC’s development and projection.

Sunday Luke 17:20-27 Monday Isaiah 26:1-19 im When each new experience springs forth like a jack-inthe-box . . . and your fondest possessions are toys. . . and your chief concern is to squeeze out of every hour the last ounce of amusement—then it's fun to be surprised! But when you've grown too old for toys. . . when life is laced with serious challenges. . . when happiness depends on a thousand social, economic and moral decisions—then surprises can be devastating! It is elementary that our early education must prepare us for the later surprises. The knowledge, habits and skills we acquire must be adequate for meeting the unexpected as readily as the expected. And because religious faith and moral fortitude are our chief resources in the unheralded crises of adult life, we must nurture their development in our children. Support encourage, serve God's house in its vital efforts to mold the character of today's youth—tomorrow’s adults.

Mr. Bunch was bom June 28, 1924 in Rapidan, the son of the late Walter C. Bunch Sr. and Elsie Hartsook Bunch. He was the owner and Family Focus adds counselor By SUSETTE RITENOUR Arundel Newipapen Staff Writer Families are falling victim to financial anxiety as economists speak ever more loudly words of recession in the ’90s. More than a few families will be forced to seek help in dealing with the additional pressure. At Family Focus, a counseling service with an office in the Rappahannock Medical Center on Gay Street in Washington, the added financial pressure for families during a recession is being taken very seriously. John Borgens, the director, said he is seeing a definite increase in financial stress-related family problems. And, according to Mr. Borgens, who is a licensed clinical social worker, effects of a recession aren’t just felt by individuals, but by the entire family. “A couple will come in for marital counseling and it can often be related to family finances. It causes them to argue and snap at the kids,” he said. Mr. Borgens has expanded the £taff at Family Focus by hiring a new financial counselor, Timothy O’Roark of Midland. The addition, according to Mr. Borgens, is in direct response to the money anxiety among today’s families. Mr. u noarK agreea. ne said, today “most economic forecasters believe we are in a recession and with the news about S&Ls, banks, layoffs and bankruptcies, it is a time to take a hard look at our personal finances.” “Especially, if the money problems are causing a great deal of stress, worry, anxiety and depression.” The stress stems from employees running scared — too afraid to make a chancy move such as buying a home. Employers are just as frantic, hoping to make it through the next 18 months without losing customers. They then take the stress they feel home. Mr. Borgens said the symptoms of financial anxiety are when couples become more and more ‘“maxed out.” They often have less patience and are more irritable, snapping at spouses and becoming apathetic or withdrawn. Other symptoms are exhaustion, significant weight loss or See FAMILY, p. B-7 operator of G & M Auto Sales and a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II.

From left: Mrs. Timothy Pagano, Melissa, Mrs. William H. Wetsel and Mrs. Thomas L. Eastham. Four students presented scholarship at DAR tea By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, honored four area 12th graders from Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties at a tea Sunday afternoon, March 10 at the Culpeper Methodist Church in Culpeper. These four received from Mj-s. William Wetsel, Chapter Good Citizen Committee Chairman, the 1990-1991 DAR Good Citizen Award which is a yearly nationally sponsored contest conducted by the DAR and consists of cash scholarships to the college of each student’s choice, a certificate of merit and a Good Citizen pin. In addition, Mrs. Janet Reed, District VI Good Citizen Chairman, personally presented to each student a bond in loving memory of Virginia Rucker Crigler, past Regent, who passed away last November. These four were: Reginald Gil more, Madison County High School, Madison; Carl Kincheloe III, Culpeper County High School, Culpeper; Melissa Pagano, Wakefield School, Huntly and Jeremy Toley* Rappahannock County High School^ Sperryville. J After the awards were pre£ sented, each student spoke of his/her" post high school plans and future* ambitions. A special award was presented tdj Mr. Rohald B. Hutchings, teacher dfcj Ameri/an History to the seventh| grade (at Culpeper Junior High* School hi Culpeper who received the -A-mericflife History Teacher Award,an honor awarded each year by the* DAR which promotes nationally thf» month of February as National His« tory month.

Thomas. , ^ Family Continued from page B-5 gain, nervousness and insomnia or irregular sleeping habits. “These are the red flags that signal something is going on, that there is stress, and that counseling is necessary,” said Mr. Borgens. “Tim and I have been talking about this for a few years. Now is a good time to get this service started,” said Mr. Borgens. He said families are finding themselves having to rework the family budget. Mr. Borgens said, “There have been so many years where families ADVERTISING DEADLINES LOCAL DISPLAY ADVERTISING Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 12 Noon Combo Ads (One or more papers) Monday, 3 p.m. Real Estate Combo Ads Friday, 3 p.m. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rappahannock • News ’ Tuesday, 12 Noon Horse & Farm Monday, 12 Noon Combo Word Ads and Classified Display • Monday, 3 p.m. * have over extended themselves — primarily with credit. There are families still doing this.” “Dealing with budgets scares people,” said Mr. O’Roark. However, he said it is vital for families to have a family financial plan. Mr. O’Roark is going to help fam* ilies organize and establish this plan. The first step on the road to orga* nized finances, is getting the facts. * “Each couple has got to gather their data. Figure out what excessive debt they may have and then we sit down together and determine in what direction the family must go," said Mr. O’Roark. He said most of the debt is incurred by heavy use of credit cards, which along with a mortgage and car payment, can mount the debt repayments. “We have a plan that has the couple working with creditors. If they can’t meet the payment, they talk to the creditor and work out a special arrangement. If for some reason the creditor won’t work with them, we’ll join negoitations and try to help,” said Mr. O’Roark. But, he stresses the importance of having the heads of the household do a majority of the “legwork.” He said, “If I did everything for them, they wouldn’t learn anything.” “Most have never spoken to a creditor, they need to learn how to do that,” said Mr. O’Roark. He said most young couples have not had any training in how to handle a household budget, even though they may have been through high school and college. Mr. O’Roark also said, each case is different, but that families must take the burden of hard times, including the children. “Some people are being forced into layoffs and cutbacks. Especially in the construction business, important to Northern Virgina economy. When this happens, the family can’t ignore it and continue on the same route,” said Mr. O’Roark. “In financial counseling, usually two problems surface more than any other — lack of communication between marriage partners and the lack of a plan,” he added. Family Focus figures out costs for counseling on the needs of the customer. The initial visit costs $65. 0

RAAC Continued from page B-1 ing to help make them happen,” he said with determination. Volunteers make an organization like RAAC mature and develop as the eommununity does around it. Volunteers are always needed. ‘‘The time required of you for an event depends on the event,” Mr. Tompkins said, adding some events take weeks of preparation, others take a few hours of taking tickets or providing drinks. “Volunteers do so much for us,” he said, using Dot Mank and Pat Fillebrown as examples. “They provide the food — drinks and snacks — at events. They always need help and they do a wonderful job,” he said with pride. Besides addressing the pros and cons of volunteers, the Futures Committee addressed RAAC financial situation, calling for a computer and better filing of volunteer skills and availablity. “We would love a computer,” Mr. Tompkins said of the arts association. The group will take a donated item, IBM compatible. Anyone interested in assisting the group should contact the office at the above number or Mr. Tompkins at 6753142. The most obvious change RAAC has made in response to the Futures Committee report is the restructing of committees. In summary, the committee stated “...each memeber of the board should be willing to either chair or co-chair one of the seven or eight committees through which a major part of the volunteer work necessary for RAAC’s functioning would be accomplished.” In response, the group has an executive committee made up of Mr. Tompkins and Frank Reynolds; a president, Mr. Tomkins; a physical vice-president, Mike Mahoney; a treasurer, Sara Shorter; and a secretary, Beverly Atkins. Floating committee members are Bob Scott, Tinker Lyman, Sally Morgan, while volunteer in charge of volunteers is Diana Bird. The local artist committee, whose goal is to promote and assist local talent as opposed to bringing in outside artist, is comprised of Carl Coon and Bob and Virginia Scott. Marie Davis and Frank Reynofds are chairing the facility committee while Vincent and Dinah Day are program chairpersons.
