Seventh graders get surprise audience with Gov. Wilder By WILLIE EASTHAM tiwilimiKt N«w» Contribatlnf Writer Early March 12 approximately 65 seventh-grade students from Rappahannock County Elementary School left for their annual trip. They knew Virginia history was their destination; they didn’t know a meeting with Gov. Wilder was too. They were all excited at the great opportunity that lay in store on the trip to Williamsburg. On the way to Williamsburg, some of tried to sleep in order to pass the time. It was a four-hour drive to the first destination, the Virginia Marine Science Museum. After about a two hour tour, the seventh-graders left and had a picnic bag lunch at a small park near the museum. Next, they headed to the old Cape Henry Lighthouse and to the beach. The first event in Williamsburg was music, which lasted well into the night. The trip continued the next day with a visit to Jamestown and Jamestown Festival Park. They toured the original site of the first permanent fort in the new world. Then they went to J amestown Festival Park and looked at reconstructions of the settlers’ fort, an indian village, and the three ships used by the settlers to cross the Atlantic ocean. After dinner that night they left for a part of the trip that was one of the favorites, the Lanthron Tour, a tour of Colonial Williamsburg at night. It was a very interesting and fun part of the trip because the atmosphere of the colonial area was very pleasant and kind. The people were very pleasant and would answer any questions that asked them. The next day the students toured the town again. All of the shops were open and students could go into all of them to see how they were in colonial times. They toured the Duke of Gloucester Street, the Main Street in Colonial Williamsburg, for five hours. That night they went to see See WILDER, p.A-3 _ ■r «/'' Three redistricting plans are approved by the supervisors By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New« Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors tentatively approved three plans for adjusting the boundaries between voting districts. The boundaries must be adjusted every 10 years once new Census numbers are available. Each district is supposed to be no more that 5 percent over or under the ideal number. In Rappahannock’s case, that number is one-fifth the total population of 6,622. So the districts have to contain between 1,258 and 1,390 people. The Census showed that Jackson District has 1,448 people in it, and Piedmont District only has 1,189 people. Jackson District has too many people and Piedmont District has too few. * The other three districts fit within the guidelines. Hampton District has 1,279 people, Wakefield District has 1,363 people, and Stonewall-Hawthome District has 1,343. It is not possible to move people from Jackson District to Piedmont District because those two districts are not contiguous. So all three plans involve moving district lines to move See REDIST, p. A-8 Connection with Allison denied by Fauquier cops By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Ncw« Staff Writer An internal investigation by the Fauquier Sheriffs Office did not find any connections between deputies and accused cocaine kingpin Kenny W. Allison, 36, of Marshall, according to Maj. Warren Jenkins. Jenkins said, “I don’t know of anyone here that’s connected with him, and I’d be surprised if there were any. But he’s a local boy, so I’m sure a lot of [the deputies] knew him.” According to unsealed court records, the FBI was concerned during its investigation and subsequent arrest of Allison that Allison “may have informational contacts with local law enforcement.” Allison is in jail in Alexandria awaiting trial in April for the socalled Kingpin Statute: operating a continuing criminal enterprise employing five or more persons. He also stands indicted by a federal grand jury on a variety of cocaine, money-laundering and weapons violations. Others in the ring have already entered guilty pleas. Jenkins said rumors of Allison’s supposed contact with the Fauquier Sheriffs Office had reached him. “I’ve heard people say that Kenny’s See ALLISON, p. A-8 Buyers' Agency formed to help the purchasers By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Realtor and land broker Butch Zindel of Amissville realized something during his years selling properties in Rappahannock and surrounding counties: although he was hired by the land seller to represent them, he generally preferred to deal with the buyers. So, following a national trend, he founded the Buyers’ Agency in June, and now works full-time as an advocate for the buyer. “I found I liked working with the buyers more, and it was about impossible to have a good relationship with the buyers and not be 100 percent loyal to the seller,” See BUYERS, p.

Couple 'retires' to active life in county By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer Donald and Katherine Sills moved to Washington to “retire” in November, but their retirement hasn’t slowed the dynamic Dr. Sills very much. A minister for 34 years, Dr. Sills’ resume reveals the active lifestyle he brings to Rappahannock County: • President of the Dallas-based Family Entertainment Network. • President of the Coalition for Religious Freedom inD.C. BLUE RIDGE NEIGHBORS • Executive vice president of the American Parents’ Association. • National director of the American Freedom Coalition’s Religious Freedom Taskforce. • Board member of the Presidential Commission pn the Bicentennial of the Constitution. That is only a sampling of his board memberships, present and past, and the wide range of experiences “the Lord has allowed an Oklahoma farm boy to have.” His resume goes on to list “major TV appearances,” including spots on Donahue, Larry King Live, the 700 Club and hundreds of other appearances. Dr. Sills’ passion is the delicate, always changing balance between religion, the U.S. Constitution and the courts. He’s known nationwide as an expert in the field See SILLS, p.

Planners pass home-care facility, Washington-area bed and breakfast By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county Planning Commission recommended approval of a residential care facility north of Flint Hill and a bed and breakfast at the edge of Washington last Wednesday. However, they recommended denial of Matthew Iten’s application for a special use permit to build an efficiency apartment over an equipment storage building in the Viewtown area. Wilma and James Burke applied for a special exception to run a residential care facility for 10 older people in five bedrooms on the first floor-of the former Bru Wood property on the west side of U.S. 522 just north of Flint Hill. The Burkes plan to live in the top floor of the house: Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser left the room before the planners took up the Burkes’ application because he is a co-owner of the property the Burkes want to buy to house the facility. However, he submitted a letter supporting the Burkes’ application, citing the need for a place for older people to live so they won’t have to move out of the county when they become unable to to take care of themselves in their own homes, and he praised the care older people have received at the Burkes’ curSee PLAN, p.

“MARK JENKINS of Flint Hill got to meet Gov. Wilder in Richmond last week on the seventh-grade trip. r Wilder Continued from page A-1 colonial dancing and had the opportunity to dance with the experts. The last day they packed and loaded the bus after breakfast, and headed for Richmond, the third Capitol of Virginia. In the past four days they had visited the first and second capitols and then they went to the third. They started their stay in Richmond at the state capitol, where they toured the building and then had a very pleasant surprise. Teacher Arthur Neufeld noticed that the governor was going to have his picture taken on the steps of the building. He had the group wait on the steps for about 30 minutes and sure enough they had the opportunity to not only see the governor but to spend about 10 minutes with him asking him questions and taking pictures with him. The next stop was the church where Patrick Henry gave his famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. They then headed to the next stop the Virginia Science Museum. This was one of the best stops on the entire trip. 1 Ready to steal mniHim Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan JUSTIN FERRENCE, No. 11, has a healthy lead from first in the baseball team’s loss to Strasburg Friday. Baseball and softball both dropped games at Page County Tuesday. SUSAN PARKER’S kindergarten class wrote letters together to a Gulf soldier. Kindergarteners learn writing through letters to Gulf soldier By LINDA M. WELK Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Students in Susan Parker’s kindergarten class at Rappahannock County Elementary School are looking forward to a special day in April. They are finally going to meet the pen pal with whom the whole class has been corresponding for four months. They have been writing letters to Lt. Rich Fawcett of the U.S. Navy, stationed in the Persian Gulf. Lt. Fawcett, a Sea Hawk helicopter pilot, is assigned to the USS Nicholas, which is known as the “Nasty Nick.” The main purpose of the USS Nicholas is to provide anti-air protection to various other U.S. Navy vessels as well as to patrol waters in the Persian Gulf. Lt. Fawcett, an acquaintance of Ms. Parker, looked forward to receiving their letters and sent letters as well as pictures of the Sea Hawk helicopter and the USS Nicholas back to the class. Anything he sent was a treasure in itself, according to the enthusiastic response of the children. Writing these letters proved to be a special part of the whole-language curriculum now in place at the elementary school. Students learn when the writing has a purpose in lieu of word lists and labels that have very little meaning to a young child. When Ms. Parker suggested they write another letter to Lt. Fawcett, it was met with an eager response. She asked what they wanted to say as she wrote it on a large ruled sheet of paper for all to see. From writing other letters, the students already knew to start with “Dear Lt. Fawcett.” As a student suggested a line, Ms. Parker wrote it word for word while the students watched and learned. When the word “helicopter” was used, she indicated she wasn’t sure of the spelling and immediately these 5-year-olds knew to reach for the dictionary. Prior to the closing, Ms. Parker read the letter back to the students and many of these knowledgeable young people joined right along in the reading. When the letter was finished, each child proudly came forward to sign their own name. The following is a copy of one of the letters sent to Lt. Fawcett: Dear Lt. Fawcett, We are happy you sent us a note. We like your helicopter. We like your boat. We play with animals in house. We like playing in centers. We hope there will not be a war. Thank you for protecting us from the bad people. We love you! Signed: Joshua A., Joey, Katie, Gregg, Deanna, E.J. Joshua S., Jason, Noah, LeAnne, Rachael, Allyson, Sara, Heather, Lesley, Whitney, Bruce, L Ashley, Adam, Matthew, Shannon, Zach and Jamie. Lt. Fawcett plan^ to visit his young friends in April but a definite date has not yet been set. He will also visit with Amy Stone’s sixthgrade class From Lt. Fawcett, they also received a letter listing Ms. Stone’s 21 students by name and telling them he appreciated their letters citing that each was a unique treasure. He also sent pictures of the USS Nicholas and the Sea Hawk helicopters, which the students have kept displayed on their classroom door for all to see and as a reminder that not all of our service men and women have yet come home. Therefore, one day in April, these Rappahnnock County Elementary School students will be very excited as one of their hereos stop by for a visit. After all, he is a very important person to them, not only because he has protected us from the “bad people,” but also because he has showed he cares.

The Audit Bureau Editorial Clean industry Much has been written about preserving the Northern Piedmont, and no doubt there is still a great deal of work to do. Those looking for direction in the battle for our countryside should probably examine the findings of a new survey, “The Fall Visitor in Virginia,” recently released by the Virginia Department of Tourism. Tourism is a clean industry, one that brings in a good deal of money without harming the environment very much. In Rappahannock we are fortunate to have several regionally and nationally known restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts. They enhance retail and tax coffers without polluting our streams and they don’t demand a great deal in the way of government services. The horse industry has also pumped up local economies, especially during steeplechase season. And the leaf peepers, as we all know, do spend money here on their way to the Drive. The Department of Tourism cites research that indicates that about one-fourth of all travel through Virginia by outsiders occurs during the fall, while summer accounts for about half of all visits (the beach attracts many). The median amount of money spent per travel party was $483, about the same in fall and summer. Statewide, the average expenditure per night was $77, and it varies depending on size of party, length of stay, type of lodging and transportation. The Williamsburg area and our own Blue Ridge Mountains were the top rated attractions, with 41 percent and 40 percent of respondents saying they planned to visit those sights, respectively. Skyline Drive was the destination for 33 percent of fall visitors to Virginia, a figure with local impact. Tourism doesn’t require new subdivisions, doesn’t bring on acid rain or other industrial side-effects, and provides regions that encourage it with an economic shot-in-the-arm during the tourist season. There aren’t many industries that have as many advantages and so few negatives'} Regionally the Drive, apple season, hotels-^estaurants and the horse events are the biggest attractions. Tn Rappahannock we might try to develop a fewjE&opept may help save our beautiful countryside. ^ c> ( pTHl SPEED ^ LIMIT SIGN IS FINE BUT WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED IS A LITTLE \HORSE SENSE- a WASHINGTON, VA. PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY 'Poor judgement' To the Editor: Last week’s fine letter from Phil Drevas has prompted me to voice my complaints regarding Lou Hatter’s poor editorial judgement. Last year my friend Sam Vanneman was voted the Multiple Sclerosis Society Man of the Year for all of Virginia. He and his family went to Richmond and received the award from Gov. Douglas Wilder. I was, and am, very proud of Sam, so I took this information directly to Lou Hatter. Although he now lives in neighboring Culpeper, Sam had lived and worked in Rappahannock for many years, and has many friends in the county. Certainly, his award was of local interest. Lou agreed, and said he would interview Sam that afternoon. When I told friends about my visit with Lou, their response was “The only way Sam will get in the paper is if he’s in a car wreck.” I reminded my friends that the editor said he was going to do the story that afternoon. Well, there never was a word about Sam or his award in the Rappahannock News that week or any week. What did make the news that week was the story about an out-ofcounty wreck in which an out-ofcounty woman and two out-ofcounty children were killed, and, you guessed it, several twisted metal photos. I grieve for the woman and children, but could have been spared the photos. I would rather Lou had gone to interview Sam instead of ambulance chasing for tabloid photos. Put me on the list of those who want more good news of local interest and fewer photos of twisted metal. ERWIN LESH Amissville Lessons of life To the Editor: Last year, when I learned that my cousin Beth had cancer, I felt surely something could be done. She was only 33 years old, healthy and athletic. And she had such a cheerful, caring disposition. How could this happen? At first I thought there must be some mistake, but it was confirmed. Some of the cells in her body had begun to multiply wildly, and this unchecked, unregulated growth was consuming other cells in its path. The disorder had been misdiagnosed for years, and now her body was overrun by the marauding horde of cancerous cells. In her anger, she sued and won, but she was only weeks away from death. Last week I sat in my living room listening to news from the Persian Gulf. Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, referring to some carefully color coded maps, was giving a blow-byblow account of how the Allied war plans had been formed up and executed. It was a campaign that will be relished for years to come. The nations of our world, led by the United States, joined together in order to decisively crush the military power of one of its members. The world gathered in the desert and surrounded a cancer that was wildly growing out of control and killed it. War is so terrible. It erodes the soul and can destory a nation’s spirit. So violent an event. So much death. was all tnis necessary; As a nation, we struggle for meaning and order during such unsettled times. When one cell in the body begins to grow rapidly in an unregulated fashion, it must be stopped quickly or the body will succumb to it. I will never forget the look on my cousin’s face as I listen to the echo of her words, “If only the cancer has been discovered earlier, we could have done something about it. ” And now, so much blood in the desert. Wasn’t this same desert part of the world where Jesus wandered some years back? It is reported that he only lived to be 33 and was killed. This too was a violent event, and it has provided salvation for countless millions. And remember what happened to Jesus after his baptism, how he wandered in the desert and was tempted by evil? Remember how he was first tempted to relinquish all responsibility for his life? And remember after that, Jesus was tempted to go to the other extreme, to be the sole conqueror and ruler of all the kingdoms of the world? He was tempted to have complete and absolute power over everything all for himself. And once again Jesus rejected the voice of evil. Jesus teaches us so well that a careful balance between letting go and over controlling is what is needed. Life requires a healthy environment in which to function. And we who populate this planet require Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage THREE MEMBERS of the Proper family of Washington cuddle the family’s sheep, particularly fitting as Easter approaches. From left: Jeremy, 8; Eve, 12; and Shiloh, 7. a certain degree of peace and stability; an environment of freedom, within appropriate limits, to live out our lives as God would have us live - celebrating love in caring relationships, sensitively, with respect and dignity. My cousin’s body had a right to try and stop the violet unregulated growth taking place in her system. So too, does the body politic of our world have a right to stop any one group who would engage in such violent unregulated growth, and like any cancer, the earlier the better. Jesus held up his hands to stop the spread of evil. As a nation, let us pray together, that what we have done will be received well by the one who has created us all. REV.

POLLYJENKINS CHRISTY MILLS TAMMY ATKINS Tape Coordinators What the hospice does To the Editor: Hospice is not a place but a system of care providing physical and psychological comfort for dying people and their families. Hospice care differs from traditional hospital care in that emphasis is on making the patient as comfortable and content as possible, not on attempting a cure. Hospice care usually takes place in the patient’s home. In hospice care, emphasis is on practical, emotional, and spiritual support for patients and families. Hospice workers are experienced in giving comfort to people with lifethreatening illnesses. Hospice people are there to assist not to take over. A patient’s relative or friend has the responsibility of day to day care. In contrast to traditional hospital or medical care, the basic treatment unit in hospice is not the individual patient but the entire family unit. What affects one affects the other. The caregivers need help, too. There are tremendous physical and emotional stresses involved in caring for a loved one at home. Hospice of the Rapidan, a Piedmont United Way agency, continues to care for survivors following the death. Working Through Grief is a support group open to hospice families- and others who have suffered a loss. The grieving process may take months or years to complete and is unique for each individual. Working Through Grief classes will be held for eight consecutive Thursday evenings beginning April 4 at the Madison United Methodist Church. The sessions are free and require pre-registration. To request hospice care or to register for Working Through Grief, call Hospice of the Rapidan at 825-4840. TINA H. WEAVER Executive Director Hospice of the Rapidan Yellow ribbons (cont'd) To the Editor: Mr. Fitzsimmons (“Ill-conceived argument,” March 14) and Mrs. Francine Nadler (“Appropriate Symbolism,” March 7) both took exception to my letter of March 1 that questioned the Administration and its policy in the Gulf. Mrs. Nadler, after expressing a few of her feelings, takes exception to my choice of words. At the end of her letter she does rise to express her point of view and thereby starts the process where opposing viewpoints are shared, dialogue begins and perhaps some differing ideas are better understood. Mr. Fitzsimmons, however, chose a different route — humiliation. His approach does violence to the free exchange of ideas, to the democratic process, and most basically to the respect for another human being. It is an increasingly familiar tactic: if you don’t agree with them, attack their person, find a shibboleth and beat them bloody with it, all the while ignoring the issues raised. But why should I expect Mr. Fitzsimmons to act differently than many of our politicians? So, let’s try again. The issue is the love affair our country has with violence and our passivity in the face of violence; the ever-escalating violence done by the state, done by our institutions, and done by us against one another. It is the issue of the violence in each of us. This is a terribly complex issue and one letter to the editor can hardly solve it. But the purpose is to raise the issue, to raise some questions, to raise the level of thought, to consider possible alternatives. When I wrote my letter, we were in the midst of a most lethal war. The coalition had unleashed incomprehensible devastation upon Iraq, compounding the Iraqi devastation of Kuwait. And after we had used and shown on TV all our our latest weapons: “Patriot,” “Peacemaker,” “smart-bombs,” and I have forgotten the sanitized name of the gasoline bomb that asphyixiated people. . . .you remember, the terrible anti-personnel bomb that only the dastardly Iraqis could use, until it turned out sometime later that we not only had the same bomb, but were quite willing to use it. The bombs were then turned upon the people: “collateral dam Despite all our words and pious hand-wringing to the contrary, we have institutionalized violence as an acceptable instrument of policy. Indeed, it has become so common that we cannot recognize it in ourselves and thus do not demand its rejections in our nation. We insulate our minds, our ears, our eyes so that we will not have to be aware of the levels of daily violence. We do not see the homeless on the street; we cluck our tongues at people who pass us by mumbling to themselves; we turn away from the parent hitting the child; we know nothing about the conditions of life in our prisons; we ignore the hopelessness in the inner city or the very back roads of the country. This ignorance becomes institutionalized; we do nothing to alter the institution. It escalates to national policy. A few short years ago, Noriega was our staunch ally in Central America — indeed, on our payroll; his military trained by our military. Less than a week before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, our government was sending arms and electronics to Hussein. We, the United States, in the name of economic stability, are the greatest supplier of arms in the world. What kind of thinking is this? NOL PUTNAM Flint Hill

Advice to Sen. Robb: Join the GOP By JOHN GOOLRICK R*PP»J'»nnock New. Special Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson once said of a man, “The more he talked of his honor the faster we counted our spoons.” That certainly is the case when U.S. Sen. Jim Sasser of Tennessee keeps insisting the only reason Sen. Charles S. Robb of Virginia was removed from the Senate Budget Committee was a need to reduce the size of that group. Sasser’s assertion certainly is believed by no one, least of all Robb, and further increases the notion among some members of the public that all politicans are liars. In case you haven’t tuned in, Sasser, the chairman of the highly influential Senate Budget Committee, recommended to the Democratic Steering Committee that the size of his committee be reduced. The Steering Committee dutifully went along, which meant that Robb, its junior Democratic member, got the ax. Though Robb appealed the move, it was to no avail. Robb’s version was that he was cut because of his fiscally conservative ways. He said his views that spending had to be reduced even more to chop the deficit was contrary to that of Sasser and other fellow Democrats on the Budget Committee. Robb was one of a few Democratic Senators who voted to give President Bush authorization to commit U.S. troops to war. He asserted on television that he did not T Old Dominion Politics believe the decision to take him off the powerful committee was in any way retaliation for that vote, though not many people believe that contention either. The prevailing theory among political observers seems to be that Robb was removed both because of his fiscal conservatism and his belief that the war against Iraq was right and proper. Certainly, the president’s skillful handling of the war with a minimum loss of life raised his standing greatly and may come back to haunt Democrats in Congress who voted against it. Perhaps Robb will learn a valuable lesson from the latest slap in the face directed against him by members of his own party. For years he has been contending that he wants to export the conservative ways of Virginia Democrats to the national party and halt its steady drift to the left. He was a founder of a Democratic Leadership Conference, composed of moderates and conservatives who said their goal was to get the party back to the middle ground. Yet another founder of that group, and one of Robb’s mentors — Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia — cut and ran when it came time for the crucial war powers vote and sided with the vast majority of Democrats who opposed it. That left Robb in a very distinct minority in his own party. And, of course, he is apt to remain in that very distinct minority in times to come because there is no indication that national Democrats are going to become more moderate on fiscal and defense issues. As a group they continue to believe in bigger and bigger government, higher taxes to finance more spending and deep cuts in national defense. The national Republican Party has problems and divisions of its own, but in point of fact Robb’s philosophy is infinitely closer to the GOP philosophy than that of his own national party. A Richmond newspaper that took Sasser and Democrats to task for removing Robb also wondered aloud why the Senator doesn’t just go ahead and turn Republican, as Gov. Buddy Roemer of Louisiana recently did. His efforts to turn the Democratic Party to the right are obviously doomed to failure and his conservatism can only alienate many of his liberal colleagues in the Congress. As a Republican, Robb would be in step with his own party and positioned well to become a major player in that party. Though his father-inlaw was Lyndon B. Johnson, the architect of the “Great Society,” and Vietnam War, that was long ago and far away and Robb could justly call his decision one of conscience. He could say, as thousands of others before him, that he did not leave his party, his party left him. His entry into the other party would help make possible a Republican recapture of the Senate in 1992 and Robb could undoubtedly get restored to the Senate Budget Committee or just about any committee he wanted. At the same time he would demonstrate that the man who has become his arch-enemy, Gov. Douglas Wilder of Virginia, is also bound for failure in his own quest to take the conservatism he has demonstrated as a Virginia Democrat to the national stage. Wilder is still expressing an active interest in running for president next year, but the liberals who control the party apparatus — particularly the nominating process — may look askance at a man who has taken a meat-ax to the state budget, cut the salaries of teachers and state workers, pledged no new taxes, reduced the scope of social programs and supported capital punishment. Think it over, Chuck. Many thousands of Demcrats of the liberal persuasion already regard you as a Republican. Why not show them how right they are?

Track team focuses on individual goals / By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Rappahannock High track coach Doug Hunter expects individual performers to do well this season, but “the numbers just aren’t there” for the team to be competitive overall. Nine boys and seven girls have been working out since Feb. 26 in preparation for the opening tri-meet April 3 at Strasburg. Distance runner Matt Eidson, who finished seventh in the state last season in his distance category, is among those Mr. Hunter hopes will do well this year. “He’s really been looking good,” said Mr. Hunter, adding that other distance runners showing promise for the boys are sophomore Randy Earley in the 800-meter and freshman Jason Waters, who is expected to finish strong in the mile and twomile events. Junior Ryan Welch and senior Bobby Jenkins are going to compete for the Panthers in the long-, tripleand high-jump. Mr. Hunter said Jason Fox, a junior, “shows some promise in the 400 and 800. He may run the mile instead of one of those events. ” Jeremy Tole, another senior, will run the middle distances. Buyers Continued from page A-1 said Mr. Zindel. The idea of buyers’ agencies is nothing new — they’ve been in existence for about 10 years. They have been particularly successful in the commercial real estate market, but have also been cropping up more and more in residential sales, he said. Mr. Zindel views his role as helping the buyers get what they really want. “Most buyers aren’t looking for a real steal. They don’t want to pay more than the property is worth, but their major concern is usually finding the right property for their needs,” said Mr. Zindel. “We try to determine what they want and screen out the properties that aren’t suitable.” Although the idea of a buyers’ agency is still somewhat new to most people, Mr. Zindel said it has a lot of appeal. “The more sophisticated buyers, who have been through one or two deals, like the idea of a buyers’ agent. The first-time buyers often have no idea what’s involved, so they can see its value too,” he said. Buyers’ agency is still so new that it has come up against some opposition by the real estate industry, but Mr. Zindel said they are becoming more open to the idea. “Even though a lot of conventional real estate agents don’t completely understand buyers’ agency, most are now accepting it,” he said. “We’re not really in opposition. Even though we share the commission, it’s all done fairly,” he said. Mr. Zindel operates the Buyers’ Agency Inc. with Uli Maeyer and David Welch in Washington. Mr. Zindel’s company is a member of the Real Estate Buyers’ Agency Council (REBAC), based in Boulder, Colo. When REBAC was contacted by U.S. News and World Report last month to do a story about the phenomenon of buyers’ agency, REBAC gave the magazine Mr. Zindel’s nanje. They called him two weeks ago and interviewed him for their consumer “News You Can Use” section, and even sent a photographer out to Washington. Look for Mr. Zindel posing by a fence along the Rush River or at the gates of the Willis property in Washington. Buyers’ agents are paid by either dividing commissipns with the listing broker or are paid directly by the buyer, to keep the price of the property from increasing. Where most conventional sales result in a split commission, between the listing agent and the selling agent, with buyers’ agency the com mission is usually divided between lister and the buyers’ agent. “Where other real estate firms list and sell, strictly representing the seller, we strictly represent the buyer. Usually buyers aren’t represented at all until they obtain a settlement attorney. By then the 4 contract’s a done deal. We represent l the buyer, but still try to be fair to' the seller,” he said. Their major objective, put simply, is to make sure the buyer | doesn’t pay too much. Mr. Zindel said many home buy-' ers work closely with the listing agent, and some have come away with the mistaken idea that the listing agent is working for them, when in fact he or she is hired and paid by the seller. “There have been lots of lawsuits over the years, where buyers were led to believe the agent was working for them, when in fact they are representing, the seller,” said Mr. Zindel. The Buyers’ Agency Inc. primarily operates in Rappahannock, but also handles properties in Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, and Warren counties. Mr. Zindel’s office is in Peter Kramer’s building at the comer of Gay and Jett streets in Washington. Culpeper Farm Co-op holds meeting Nearly 1,000 members, patrons, and friends of Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative, Inc. attending annual membership meetings during the week of March 19 received positive reports on the cooperative’s 1990 operating year. The meetings were held for the cooperative’s members served by retail operations in Culpeper, Remington, Warrenton, Marshall, Sperryville, and Maurertown. T.E. Gore, the co-op’s executive vice president and general manager, reported that 1990 sales were $20 million. Net savings of $635,000 enabled . the cooperative’s Board of Directors to declare a patronage refund of 3.54 percent. Mr. Gore reported that during 1990 $927,000 in patronage equities were revolved back to the Cooperative’s patrons, making a total of $8.6 million in cash returned to patrons over the life of the cooperative. In the field events, baseball player Jamie Finchum will throw the shot put and returning senior Chris Stringfellow brings experience to the shot put and discus events. The girls’ team is very young, with only one senior, Sarah Bartlett, and she is expected to miss three weeks with a knee injury she sustained on the senior trip to Pennsylvania two weeks ago. When she returns, however, Mr. Hunter hopes she will score in hurdle events. Freshman Amber Earley is a middle-distance runner, competing in the 400- and 800-meter dashes, and another freshman, Sherri Thomas, “is going to do well” in the mile, said Mr. Thomas. Two eighth graders have been running well, M.E. Bailey and Jessica Arnold, and although they will compete, any points they score won’t be counted, said Mr. Thomas. The first-year head coach said that the small number of team members makes him focus more on individual accomplishments. “Our goals are going to be mainly individual,” he said. After the opening meet in Strasburg, the track teams compete against George Mason and Manassas Park in Manassas on April 10, home against Page and Manassas Park on April 17, against George Mason and Central in Woodstock on April 24 and against Page and Clarke in Berryville May 1. to see Hew * ENRICHING ! .■ RETIREMENTCAN Be, Join us for a Stirring experience. * Be our honored guest for lunch, compliments of our community.

Dog's killing of pig leads to court case; owner acquitted iflilMIIIMlIMI By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer David Nuttle was found not guilty of “shooting another mart’s dog” in General District Court two weeks ago. On Feb. 6 Mr. Nuttle, who rents his house outside Sperryville from Elmer Atkins, shot and killed a black labrador dog that belonged to James E. Swindler Sr., also of Sperryville. He said he shot the dog to protect his pigs. At the trial Mr. Nuttle first asked for a court-appointed attorney and then decided to represent himself when Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, pointing out that all the witnesses had come to court prepared to testify, said the Commonwealth would not seek jail time if Mr. Nuttle was found guilty. Mr. Nuttle first tried to have the case dismissed because he said it was not clear that Mr. Swindler owned the dog since he hadn’t bought a license for the dog. District Court Judge Charles B. Foley refused to dismiss the charge, saying that Mr. Swindler did not r-‘have to own the dog to swear out a warrant to arrest Mr. Nuttle for killing it. ' Mr. Swindler testified that he ■’had been given the dog two weeks before it was shot. He said he kept the dog on a chain to keep it from going out in the road and took the dog off the chain twice a day to run. He said he walked with the dog '■■around cows and calves and it never bothered the livestock. He said he also owned a small dog and cat and II ’ that the labrador played with them 1 without hurting them. “Did the dog show any vicious ‘.i tendencies?” Mr. Luke asked. “No,” Mr. Swindler replied. He said he got a call from Mr. “ Nuttle at 2 p.m. that the dog had ->i been shot. He said he went to Mr. Nuttle’s house. He asked him if the c dog had gotten irtto the pen and if „ the dog-had bitten the hogs, and Mr. Nuttle had said, “No.” “He told me he shot him and wounded him and then had to shoot ’. again and kill him,” Mr. Swindler M, said. He said Mr. Nuttle told him he had shot the dog at 3:30 a.m. “That was a rainy dark and* k cloudy night,” Mr. Swindler said. “I found the dog 288 feet from the pen.” “Did you find any blood at all?” ” Mr. Luke asked. v-1 “I didn’t see any blood except “where the dbg was laying,” Mr. Swindler said. He had photographs of the pig™’pen and the dog with its collar and III tag. He said the dog had gotten loose but the latch on the chain wasn’t broken. “Did he said the dog had attacked him?” Mr. Luke asked. “No, he did not,” Mr. Swindler said. “He just said the dog was barking at his hogs.” Mr. Swindler said he had returned later with dog warden John Ray Pullen and measured the distance from the dog to the pigpen. When Mr. Nuttle questioned him, Mr. Swindler said they had only a brief conversation with Mr. Swindler asking a few questions. “Did the dog resent being chained?” Mr. Nuttle asked. Mr. Swindler said the dog did not mind being chained and he had guessed that when the dog broke loose it was trying to return to its previous home. Mr. Pullen testified that he had gone to the site with Mr. Swindler to measure the distance from the dog to the pen and look for blood. He said that where the dog was laying, it was facing away from the pen and that the dog appeared to have been shot twice. Mr. Luke asked him if he had spoken with Mr. Nuttle. “He told me the dog tried to get into the pen,” Mr. Pullen said. “He said he fired into the air first and that the dog attacked him and he fired at the dog.” Mr. Pullen said that when he saw the pen the dog couldn’t have gotten into it. Mr. Nuttle showed Mr. Pullen pictures of the pen with a large hole in it. “It wasn’t like that when I got there,” Mr. Pullen said. Phyllis Swindler said she had gone with her husband when they first found the dog dead. She said her husband had knocked at the door and Mr. Nuttle opened it. “He said the dog was barking at the pigpen, and I shot him and wounded him. Then I shot him and killed him. He did not say the dog attacked him; he said he was barking at the pigs. He didn’t say he was sorry. He didn’t say anything,” said Mrs. Swindler. “You and I didn’t really have a conversation,” Mr. Nuttle said to Mrs. Swindler. “After you said you shot him and wounded him...” “You didn’t ascertain what had happened,” Mr. Nuttle said. “When I asked you did you ask him to sit, you didn’t answer me.

He didn’t say anything.' — Phyllis Swindler Killed dog's owner had given the dog to Mr. Swindler. He said he had owned the dog^fej* three or four months. He said he had moved into a house that did not allow dogs and had tried to find the dog a good home. He said the dog was often around other animals and “never bothered anything.” Mr. Nuttle asked him if he had kept the dog chained. Mr. Garcia said he sometimes let the dog in the house, but most of the time he kept it chained. Mr. Nuttle called his own witnesses. Elmer Atkins said he wasn’t involved witlj, the incident with Mr. Swindler’s dog but he was aware of problems with dogs. Raymond Thompson said he had paid Mr. Nuttle when his dog was aparently involved in an earlier attack on Mr. Nuttle’s pigs and that Mr. Nuttle returned two puppies unharmed that had followed their mother that night. Karen Nuttle testified that in the incident in November two days after they had bought three pigs, she awakened her husband when she heard dogs near the house and their dog in the house was barking. She said that she heard one of the pigs “screaming. It was being pulled apart by dogs.” She said her husband went outside and tried to scare the dogs off by making a racket. When he came inside, he said, “I’m going to need a gun,” she said. She said that on Feb. 6, she again awakened her husband when she heard barking. She said her husband went to the pigpen with a flashlight and gun. She said she saw her husband fire into the air and then heard another shot. She said later she saw the shape of an animal in the field and told her husband the dog had not gone away. She said he went back out and she again saw him fire into the air and then heard more shots. “My husband is not the kind of person who would hurt an animal unless he believed it would hurt him or our animals,” she said. She said that they had strengthened the pigpen after the first attack, but they used weathered lumber that could be broken. Mr. Nuttle said when he first saw the dog it had broken a hole in the pigpen and had its head and neck through the hole. He said he fired a warning shot but the dog “did not cease. I wasn’t surprised. Once a dog is close to the kill it’s hard to get it to break off.” Mr. Nuttle said he shot at the dog and it ran off. He said he photographed the hole in the pen and then repaired it and went inside. He said his wife told him the dog was still around. He went outside again and tracked the dog. He said he was experienced at tracking and had tracked and hunted man-eating tigers and leopards in Vietnam. Mr. Nuttle said he tried to frighten the dog off and fired another warning shot, but it didn’t leave. Then he said he walked along the fence and the dog “made an attack run at high speed directly at me. I had no choice but to shoot and kill the dog.” Mr. Luke asked Mr. Nuttle why he hadn’t told this to the Swindlers. “They were upset and angry,” he said. “Mr. Swindler asked me three questions. I would have been glad to go over the details and say I was sorry, but they did not allow me that opportunity.” During final arguments Mr. Nuttle said that under Virginia law a man is allowed to shoot a dog if it is attacking his livestock, even if the dog does not bite the livestock. He said that since November there had been three separate attacks on livestock. “Dogs are a menace in Rappahannock County,” he said. “The county does not have a leash law or a fund to recompense livestock owners. I understand how dog owners feel. When their dogs to out at night, they don’t know what the dogs do. They can’t accept that a loving, kind obedient dog would go out at night to kill. “Occasionally dogs will revert and kill for fun.

His pig was killed, but we can’t say therefore it was open hunting season on every black dog that somes in the vicinity of the defendant’s house,” said Mr. Luke in final arguments. “This dog had no propensity to do anything to people or livestock. The dog left and went over to the hilltop. The animal had broken off whatever it was doing. At the time he killed the dog there is no question, it was not chasing livestock,” said Mr. Luke. “When he was first confronted, he didn’t say anything about the dog attacking him. Had the defendant remained near the pen, this would not have happened. It was not necessary for this dog to die,” said Mr. Luke. Judge Foley said, “These are emotional cases. At times it was a nice dog, a good companion. This is tragic. Did you have a reasonable belief that such killing was necessary to prevent iiyury to your animals? “If the dog had come at me, that would have been the first thing out of my mouth. You’ve testified under oath that the dog made an attack run at you. The Swindlers probably don’t believe that,” he continued. “Had you killed the dog at the pig pen, we wouldn’t be here today,” the judge said. “I have to determine if you’re guilty of a criminal act. I cannot determine that from this evidence. I find you not guilty,” Judge Foley ruled. i Awards open year as Inn's fame grows In a snowballing of unprecedented accolades, The Inn at Little Washington has become: • The first establishment in the Mobil Travel Guide’s 34-year history to ever receive two Five Star Awards in the same year — five stars for its restaurant and five stare for its accommodations. • One of only four United States properties to ever receive two Five Diamond Awards from the American Automobile Association for both its restaurant and lodging facilities. • The highest rated resort in America in the just released Zagat U.S. Hotel Survey. • The top-rated U.S. restaurant in the Zagat Restaurant Guides. Allen E. Murray, CEO and president of the Mobil Corp. congratuled The Inn at Little Washington on making Mobil history. Mr. Murray noted that the “attention and dedication to the consistency of excellence outstanding service, distinctive facilities, gracious hospitality, and above all, the pursuit of perfection, make The Inn at Little Washington one of the best places to visit in America.” The prestigious AAA Five Diamond honor is being given to 47 lodgings and only 15 restaurants this year. “Five Diamond status is reserved for only those facilities that reach the very pinnacle of the lodging and dining industries,” according to the AAA Director of Inspections. “These establishments set the standards by which all others are BEST TIME TO BUY Pines, Spruces and many other trees and plants OUR SPRING THINNING SALE Each Spring we dig the trees and plants which are crowding.

The Zagat U.S. Hotel Survey calls The Inn at Little Washington the “best, bar none . . . exqukite . . .imaginative,” and its food, “perfection . . . can’t compare to anyplace else.” The Zagat 1991 Washington D.C. Restaurant Survey calk The Inn at Little Washington “an out-of-this world contemporary American place where stratospheric expectations are consistently gratified.” Alone, these honors are rare. But for the same establkhment to win a grand slam sweep of top honors during one given year is unprecedented in the U.S. Hotel and Restaurant industry. “Our goal,” said chef Patrick O’Connell “was to offer every amenity of a world class hotel, with all the personal and eccentric charm of a private home.” The Washington Post’s critic, Phyllis C. Richman, recently said, “The Inn at Little Washington is no longer our secret. The world knows about it. And it k quickly becoming a legend in its own time.” In 1986, The Inn at Little Washington became a member of the Relais & Chateaux Association, headquartered in Paris, France, further enlarging its reputation internationally. Of the 375 members in 37 nations, The Inn has become one of only four establishments in North America to be honored with the Relais Gourmand designation for its cuisine in 1988. “The formula has always been the same,” says Mr. O’Connell. “Everyday we try to make it a little better than the day before.” VDOT holds pre-allocation hearing April 11 Top state and district transportation officials will conduct a public hearing on the 1991-92 fiscal year interstate, primapr and urban highway construction allocations in Culpeper on Thursday, April 11.

mm CHRISTOPHER ANTONY ma,.:pots azaleas as part of production line. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Seeking dream, couple grows Azalea farm is the result of years of work Richard Antony, an electrical engineer, and his wife Sandra, a former contract specialist and Montgomery County elementary school teacher, lived in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, but dreamed of living in the mountains. In 1978 they purchased 26 acres on Long Mountain, in the Virginia foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains for their “retirement.” Within a year, the industrious couple in their early 30s, decided that age 66 seemed too far off to realize their dreams. They hoped to have a family soon and wanted their children to be reared with the oldfashioned country ideals of hard work and close family ties. After years of reading books on homesteading and home construction, Mr. and Mrs. Antony began considering a move to Long Mountain outside Washington, Va., sooner rather than later. But how would they make a living in rural Virginia? Bill Barker, their close friend and neighbor, suggested that since they had just successfully propagated a few dozen azaleas to landscape their yard in Adelphi, Md., they could grow and sell azaleas. At first the idea seemed rather far-fetched, but after several weeks of serious consideration, the couple decided that it sounded feasible. The Antonys, who were avid gardeners, immediately began a small experimental nursery on their quarter-acre lot. They joined the azalea and rhododendron societies and Mr. Antony read a dozen books on the nursery industry. They wanted to learn the business of growing firsthand so that the inevitable mistakes could be made while their nursery was small. Mr. Antony hoped that at the eftd of the experiment he would have developed a foolproof, systematic approach to growing azaleas. The couple was to learn that horticulture involves a little science, considerable experience, and an awful lot of backbreaking labor. In 1979, they had a water well drilled and a small pond constructed on their property. In 1980 they felt confident enough to build a bam that would be the base of their operations. Mr. and Mrs. Antony, Mrs. Antony’s dad Raymond Spencer (a former carpenter), and several friends and family members built a 20-by-36, two-story gambril-roof bam. As soon as the bam was under roof, Mr. Antony installed a pump in the well and turned it on; miracuously, water flowed. Not a lot, but enough to keep the nursery going for several years until Mr. Antony installed a water system from the pond and a second well was drilled. In 1981 they built their first 50by-100 growing zone: a flat area covered with black polyethylene, topped with gravel and surrounded by an overhead irrigation system. Mr. Antony bought the hoops and constructed a 100-foot polyhouse that would be used to overwinter their stock. Each year the couple added one or more new zones and the necessary hoop houses. In 1983 they built a jig on the back of a shed so they could save on construction costs by bending their own hoops. For several years, Mrs. Antony ; and their son Christopher (born in 1981), spent the spring and summer at the nursery while Mr. Antony worked weekdays as an electrical engineer in Maryland. Between the experimental nursery, a house in > Maryland and an ever-expanding nursery in Virginia, the couple was ! burning the candle from both ends. | In order to continue the nursery, • they realized that they needed to I move to Virginia fulltime. But that would require a house. One of Mr. Antony’s co-workers suggested that the bam could easily be converted into a house. The house would be small, but the Antonys liked the idea. Slowly, with a lot of help from Mrs. Antony’s dad, the conversion took place. Where the tractor bay had been, a living room appeared. Windows become doors and doors became windows. At about that time the Antonys got the real break they needed: Mr. Antony got a job about 35 miles from the nursery. The family sold their house in Maryland in 1985 and moved into their renovated “three-stall barn.” They next focused on reducing the labor required each spring to mix their growing media, fill the containers and plant the rooted cuttings. Although soil mixing and potting machines were available, they were quite expensive and well beyond the reach of this fledgling business. Mr. Antony’s youngest sister, Annette, recommended that what they needed was a real “production line.” Mr. Antony immediately developed a multi-year plan to build such a production line. A 40-year-old grain elevator was purchased nearby for $100. Mr. Antony’s 88-year-old grandfather constructed a four-foot diameter mixing drum to add to the line. Slowly, year-by-year, Mr. Antony, a Rube Goldberg devotee, put together a production line made up of old furnace blower motors, used washing machine and sewing machine parts, a second used grain elevator and even a few new parts. The production line now consists of four basic positions. Mr. Antony became “dirt man” and works the soil making part of the line during his annual “vacation” in May. At the second position (the dibble positon), an operator places a plastic pot below a chute, presses a foot pedal that pulls a cable, releasing a lawn mower clutch, which drives a gearbox, turning an eight-inch auger that drops soil down the chute. When the pot is full, the operator presses an old sewing machine pedal that operates a series of solenoids, relays, switches, clutches, transmissions and cables that lowers an old washing machine motor rigged up like a drill press, drilling a two-inch diameter hole in the center of the filled container. A measured amount THE CONVEYOR belt was modeled after Rube Goldberg.

The dibbled container is placed on a rubber belt conveyor (recently built from the frame of an old grain elevator) and the pot moves to the third position, where a rooted cutting (called a “liner”) is placed in the hole and a descriptive label is attached. The pot then continues down the conveyor, trips a microswitch that operates a used washing machine solenoid and the rooted cutting is watered just before the container reaches the homemade roller conveyor (made from one-inch PVC pipe) where the containers stack up. The plants are then loaded into a flatbed trailer at the fourth position and taken to their first-year home in one of the liner zones. They are moved from the trailer to the zone using one of several homemade nursery carts. The nursery is still a family affair. Mrs. Antony manages the nursery and her young family. When not doing housework, preparing meals or using the computer, she is outside pulling plants for shipment, pruning or supervising the workers. Mr. Antony helps evenings, weekends and holidays. He makes most of the plant deliveries in March and early April before he starts his full-time job in Warrenton. Christopher (now 9 years old) does all the mowing and helps his dad with all construction and repair projects. Allison (3 years old in April and the reason a fourth stall was added to the bam) helps with weeding, picking up her own toys and occasionally letting Mrs. Antony work on the taxing paper work. Long Mountain Nursery is three miles from Washington and about 15 miles east of the Shenandoah National Park. On Fridays and Saturdays in May you can see the production line in operation.

Those people are north and west of Rock Mills where Piedmont, Hampton and Stonewall-Hawthome Districts all come together. Under the old district divisions, the line between Piedmont and Hampton came down Route 622, The Shade Road, to the Covington River and then followed the river past where it intersected the StonewallHawthome District line at Route 621.

These people live north and east of the Thornton River and south and west of routes 640 near Viewtown and on Route 729 between routes 618 and 640. The three plans differ on how many and which people would be moved from Stonewall-Hawthome to Piedmont District. Plan 1 would move all the people to the west of Route 231 and north of Route 707. This would move 159 people. Plan 2 would move people from the west side of Route 231 north of a line that follows a farm road on George Miller’s farm to Route 681 and those north of Route 681 from that point to the Madison County line. It would also move people on the east side of Route 231, west of the Hazel River and north of Route 618 from Stonewall-Hawthome District to Piedmont District. This plan would move 111 people. Plan 3 would move the same people as Plan 2 and, in addition, those north of Route 618, south of 621, east of the Hazel River, and west of an old road that connected 618 to 621 at old Route 609. This plan would move 163 people. In all three plans Wakefield District; represented by Hubert Gilkey, would remain unchanged at 1,363 people. In all three plans Hampton District, represented by Mike Massie, would have 1,294 people and Jackson District, represented by Ellis Bingham, would have 1,354 people. In Plan 1 Piedmont District, represented by Charles K.“Pete” Estes, would have 1,333 people and Stonewall-Hawthome District, represented by Robert Anderson, would have 1,278. In Plan 2 Piedmont District would have 1,285 people and Stonewall-Hawthome District would have 1,326. In Plan 3 Piedmont District would have 1,337 people and Stonewall-Hawthom District would have 1,274. The Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing in late April to hear what the voters feel about these three plans. They will probably indicate which plan they prefer. Then the three plans will be sent to the U.S. Department of Justice for approval. After Justice Department approval the supervisors will formally adopt one of the plans and send it to Richmond. Voters whose voting place is being changed will be notified by the Board of Elections that their registration is being moved from one district to another. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan DONALD SILLS wants to help Russians learn about our Founding Fathers and the government they left behind. Sills Continued from page A-1 of religious freedom, but that’s only one of his fields of expertise. Donald and Katherine Sills moved to Washington to “retire” in November, but their retirement hasn’t slowed the dynamic Dr. Sills very much. 0 A minister for 34 years, Dr. Sills’ resume reveals the active lifestyle he brings to Rappahannock County: • President of the Dallas-based Family Entertainment Network. • President of the Coalition for Religious Freedom in D.C. • Executive vice president of the American Parents’ Association. • National director of the American Freedom Coaltion’s Religious Freedom Taskforce. • Board member of the Presidential Commission on the Bicentennial of the Constitution. That is only a sampling of his board memberships, present and past, and the wide range of experiences “the Lord has allowed an Oklahoma farm boy to have.” His resume goes on to list “major TV appearances,” including spots on Donahue, Larry King Live, the 700 Club and hundreds of other appearances. Dr. Sills’ passion is the delicate, always changing balance between religion, the U.S. Constitution and the courts. He’s known nationwide as an expert in the field of religious freedom, but that’s only one of his fields of expertise. The Coalition for Religious Freedom, of which he is president, is in the process of distributing a 900page textbook on the United States’ founding fathers and principles, “The Making of America” by W. Cleon Skousen, to Communist Bloc countries thirsting for information about our democracy. His Family Entertainment Network is making religious and historical films, and the staff includes six animators hired away from Disney. Previous films have been religious, but the next one, about Christopher Columbus, “moves us out into the realm of classical heros,” said Dr. Sills. The network has stores in 34 shopping centers across the country, Allison Continued from page A-1 bragged about this,” but an internal investigation did not reveal any corruption, said Jenkins. He also said that the ‘‘smaller fish” in the alleged Allison cocaine distribution network in Fauquier are currently being investigated by the Sheriffs Office, and that “hopefully” more indictments will be forthcoming in Fauquier Circuit Court. Jenkins also disclosed that there are supposedly pictures of a former county deputy at Allison’s house. U.S. Attorney Jay Apperson has said multiple photographs were seized during the November raids at Allison’s Marshall and Washington, Va., residences. “This office initiated the investigation,” said Jenkins, a statement corroborated by the FBI’s own statements in court documents. In another Allison case development, an attorney for Jennifer Jackson of Warrenton, the real estate agent named in court documents, says his client had no participation in the alleged drug ring. Alan Oilman, the attorney, said Ms. Jackson has not been charged, and although her house was searched by federal agents, “I don’t believe they found anything at all.” He said Ms. Jackson has never handled any real estate transactions for Allison. Apperson was unavailable for a response. Clarification A Fairfax attorney has written Arundel Newspapers that his client, Joseph F. Claffy Jr. of Prince William County, has never had any connection with the Kenneth Allison drug conspiracy case. Lawyer Jerry M. Phillips states that Claffy and his wife, Sue, have been approached by many persons about a story in the March 21 paper regarding the case. The story cited an FBI affidavit in the public record at U.S. District Court in Alexandria stating that Joseph F. Claffey Jr., 75, of Hilton Head, S.C., as being involved in the alleged conspiracy. On this point, the story and the document refer only to a person named Joseph F. Claffey Jr., 75, who lives in Hilton Head, S.C. and plans are to expand into 75 by the end of the year. The Sills’ moved to Rappahannock from D.C., because Dr. Sills can operate out of his home using just a phone, a computer and a fax machine. His various companies and organizations are so diverse that he boasts of offices in every state and even in Geneva, Switzerland. The distribution of “The Making of America,” he said, was the brainchild of an Iowa farmer named Zelden Nelson. Mr. Nelson had helped finance the publishing of the book, and was left with thousands of copies in his bam. As Dr. Sills puts it, “I’m not someone who just gets involved in a project. I get involved.” He started contacted foreign embassies to see if they were interested. The response was staggering. The Soviet government wants a copy of the book in all of the country’s schools and libraries. There are 160,000 schools and 360,000 libraries in Russia. The book is going through its third printing of 30,000, and the biggest problem the coalition is running into is finding corporate sponsors to ship the books overseas. “What I’m saying to the American people is, here are the requests from around the world. It is happening, let’s build it even further,” he said. Another of Dr. Sills’ memberships is on the national Day of Prayer Committee, a White House sponsored observance that will be held May 2 this year. His role is to coordinate church participation nationally. The theme this year is “America, It’s Time to Pray.” A Baptist minister, Dr. Sills’ last church was in California in 1984. He had criminal charges filed against him back in 1969 in Los Angeles for a “zoning violation:” holding Bible study in his home, he said, an example of how government and religions sometimes don’t mix well. He has witnessed Jesus Christ to thousands of Hare Krishnas in West Virginia after befriending them through his campaign for religious freedom, and still gets calls from around the country as a result. Dr. Sills at age 64 isn’t having a very peaceful retirement. Plan Continued from page A-1 rent, smaller location in a house next to the F.T. Valley Grocery. In recommending the application be approved, the planners suggested they hoped the Burkes would one day come back before the commission asking for permission to expand to care for more than 10 people. The planners also recommended that Walter and Susan Longyear’s application for a bed and breakfast at the edge of Washington be ap- ‘ proved pending approval from the highway and health departments. Susan Longyear said the application was for two rooms to be expanded to four later. “I have some Matthew Iten’s application to build a two-story garage that resembled a bam with equipment for taking care of trees stored on the ground floor and an efficiency apartment on the top floor ran into a buzzsaw of opposition. The motion to recommend denial passed unanimously. At the end of the meeting the planners expressed concern about a number of private roads being built for access to mountainside house sites. The driveways are eroding badly.

ijoumaf • “Reai estate Roundabout Rob McDugald at Woodsmoke Appearing this Friday at The Woodsmoke Cafe in Sperryvilie will be Rob McDugald, solo guitarist and singer. A native of D.C., a rare breed indeed, he has spent the last 10 months living in the Culpeper area on the Hazel River, as he puts it: "reducing stress from my life and developing new ideas." "I just had to get out of that town," he said of D.C. Having grown up in the '60s and early '70s, his music is a blend of country, folk and period sound. "My grandmother was a opera singer until she was 70 years old, and I'll always remember her singing the scales as I practiced them on the piano as a small boy and was lucky enough to have inherited her singing and listening ability." Mr. McDugald has been entertaining folks at The Caprice Cafe in Warrenton on a weekly basis, as well as in Charlottesville and Middleburg. “Playing and singing music is a God given talent which needs to be nurtured. It's one of the best releases for tension and anxiety. I know of and being able to take someone away from their own day to day hassels and just for a little while listen to the pictures flow across the room into your mind they'll go. It's my way of sharing," he said. He will perform from 8:30 p.m.-l 1 p.m. at The Woodsmoke Cafe in Sperryville. There is a $2 cover and the regular menu is available. Performance art sought The Middle Street Artists' Cooperative announces a call for entries for “Celebration of the Spirit," an evening of stories, songs, dance and/or music to be presented May 17.

Rehearsals began two weeks ago. The play will be performed over two weekends in mid-June. . "Strange Snow," said Mrs. RainboltKren, "is a play about coming to terms with a devastating past - in one sentence.” Pruning workshop slated Rappahannock forester and arborist |_yt Wood will hold a workshop on "The Art of Pruning," 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday March 30. The workshop will be held at the Ki Arts Center in Washington's Town Hall. Those attending will get an introduction to pruning all kinds of trees.

Photos courtesy Wakefield Medieval feast WAKEFIELD SCHOOL held its annual Medieval banquet last week, celebrating the winter festival of Candlemas and providing students with a lesson in Medieval history. In addition to the banquet and costume contests, the evening was filled with numerous games and activities that were characteristic of the period. By far the favorite event of the evening was the pancake races. Students competed according to grade level and the subject was to run the course while balancing a pancake on a spoon, no thumbs allowed to hold the pancake. Clockwise from left: Melissa Yowell of Amissville’s face was painted, Levi Campbell of Bentonville won best costume and Rusty Vicars of Warrenton heralded the event. ' Maggi Morris takes reins of Middle Street co-op By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer President Tanya Richey stepped down Monday night at the regular monthly meeting of the Middle Street Cooperative Art gallery, passing the leadership position to Castleton sculptress and vice-president Maggi Morris. “I’m real proud of the job we have done in the last year,” Mrs. Richey said of her position, adding, “I had a strong executive board and now is a good time to turn things over to Maggi.” Mrs. Morris’ position of vice-president and president-elect made her the obvious choice to replace Mrs. Richey. Mrs. Richey was elected president in June 1990 and has held the position for the last eight months. Prior to her president standing, Mrs. Richey was vice-president for the gallery. She has been a member of the cooperative for two years. “I am just getting busier and busier,” she said of her reason for stepping down. Mrs. Richey is director of Windflower Fine Art Gallery in Washington, where her work is exhibited. From the Clopton House gallery she conducts art classes on Thursday nights. Mrs. Richey also exhibts in Germany and several local shows, annually. At present she is preparing for a show in Arizona. Originally from Northern Virginia, Mrs. Richey has traveled to various spots around the globe studying and painting. She lives with her husband and daughter in Amissville. Tanya did a fantastic job as president She accomplished many things besides placing the gallery in a better financial position.' — Maggi Morris Middle Street president The gallery’s new president, sculptress Maggi Morris, is a familiar face among Rappahannock County artists. She has been an active memeber of the cooperative since 1990. “It’s going to be hard for me to be a president like Tanya,” Ms. Morris said, adding, “Tanya did a fantastic job as president. She accomplished many things besides placing the gallery in a better financial position. ” As the new president, Ms. Morris said her main goal is to “increase membership and to come up with new ways to make money for the gallery, to make us more self-supporting and more active in the community.” SHEEP AT LINDA Dietel’s farm were visited by Spring Mountain School students last week. Kids visit sheep farm Spring Mountain School celebrated the first day of Spring, March 20, with a sunny visit to Over Jordan Farm. Owner Linda Dietel escorted the combined kindergarten and nursery classes with faculty members Bethany Craig and Paige Noel through the farm. The children petted sheep, held three-day-old lambs, and weighed themselves on the sheep scale. The field trip was part of the curriculum intended to end winter and herald spring. Teacher Paige Noel has been washing and carding raw wool with both the kindergarten and nursery classes. Last week Janet Kerig visited the kindergarten and, with her help, the children “felted” the wool — that is, made the wool into felt which they used to create colorful balls and pictures. After Easter, the children will begin weaving with woolen yam and pieces of wool. In existence since 1987, Spring Moutain School now has a kindergarten and a nursery class.

Rappahannock resident Julie Portman will perform “Katie Malone,” the irresistibly charming story of the life and marriage of her mother. Ms. Portman plays all of the roles of her family members, and Paul Reisler’s music fills out the picture of a vibrant woman.

Hinging on that cross on Calvary, He died a slow, torturous death, bleeding from the mocking crown of thorns and the nails that pierced His hands and feel “But He was wounded for our transgressions... and by His wounds we are healed." (tsaiah 53:5) Jesus prophesied that in three days He would rise from the tomb, appear in the flesh, and then ascend to His Father in heaven. “And behold there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone. .." and proclaimed: “He has risen, just as He said.” (Matt. 28:6) Do you bear a cross? Do you feel entombed by doubt and fear? Ask Jesus Christ to help you to rise above the darkness of sin and death. As we worship this Easter and each Sabbath throughout the year, let us remember that we need not bear our cross alone. We have only to ask in faith, and the Lord w>ll share our burden and walk by our side. Copyright 1991. Ke*ter-Williams Newspaper Services. P O Bo« 8006 ChartottesWIe. VA 22906 FMI.

Make it easy - make it beef By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Afent When I attended the 1991 Virginia Home Economics Association - conference recently, one of our exhibitors "was the Virginia Cattle Industry Board. Cynthia Boggs, , Director of Education and Beef Promotion, shared some information on using beef to make time-saving and easy meals which I’d like to share in my column this week. Quick, effortless cooking is the goal for most cooks during the workweek. They want to get dinner on the table in a hurry, with as little fuss as possible. The streamlined recipes and tips that follow are designed especially for time-pressured cooks who want to create great-tasting, well-balanced meals with fresh, readily available ingredients — in just 30 minutes or less. Bring your kitchen up to speed: By putting your kitchen in order, you’ll have the equipment and food staples on hand for quick cooking. Designate a place for each piece of kitchen equipment, so you can reach for it automatically, almost without thinking. The three main work areas in an efficient kitchen are within the triangle formed by the refrigerator, range and sink. Stock each area with the equipment most used at that work station and you’ll immediately begin to save time and extra steps in the kitchen. Also, take time to streamline your kitchen and get rid of the clutter of equipment you are not using, or at least get it out of the mainstream of everyday kitchen tools. Make notes and written plans: Y ou can save time on meal preparation and grocery shopping if you plan your menus and keep a ready reference of quick recipes. Here are some specific time-savers: You’ll save both time and money when you plan your menus and go to the store with a written list in hand. Jot down foods you need to buy as you run out of them. Encourage other family members to do the same. File your favorite, quick weekday recipes together and highlight any fresh ingredients you will need to purchase to prepare them. Prices in this ad good Monday, March 25 thru Sunday, March 31,1991. House Of Raeford & Cuddy Farms Food Lion wishes you a "Safe & Happy Easter".

Developing shopping savvy: Get to know the markets where you shop regularly and be aware of the special services and conveniences they offer, then follow these shopping tips: Use weekly ads to help plan menus around seasonal foods and featured beef items. Make out your shopping list by food categories and according to the layout of the store so you can quickly check and refer to it for easier shopping. Take advantage of the convenience beef products at your market, such as thin-cut steaks, smaller roasts, beef strips for stir-frying or microwaving and individually packaged steaks and beef patties. If these cuts are not available at the meat counter, you can ask the meat retailer for them. When you get home from the store, put your groceries away as soon as possible, especially perishables. If you are freezing meat, wrap and store in portions you will use at one time. For example, shape ground beef into patties. Wrap and freeze small steaks and patties individually for quick cooking from the frozen state. Sharpening your culinary skills: Here are some special tips for fast, flavorful beef cookery: Look for cuts that can be cooked quickly. Often these are described on the meal label or identified by special symbols. Learn which cuts can be broiled or panbroiled, or used in quick stirfry dishes. Suggested beef cuts are: chuck top blade, cubed, eye round, flank, rib or rib eye, round tip, sirloin, tenderloin, top loin and top round steaks and ground beef. Make individual beef loaves rather than one large loaf. And to save more time, cook them in the microwave. Practice complementary cooking. Use the microwave for one recipe or a part of the preparation and the range top for another. For example, microcook the potatoes in the microwave while you prepare a quick beef topping on the range top for Beef and Salsa Topped Poatoes. Mix up and keep handy some customized seasoning mixes that go well with beef. Recipes for three blends, compatible with beef, are given below. Serve quickly cooked steak strips over your favorite microcooked vegetable medley for a delicious, fast and colorful meal. Sherried steak strips Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes 8 ounces beef round tip steaks, cut 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick 2 tablespoons each dry sherry and reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1 green onion, sliced Cut beef steaks into 1-inch wide strips.
