The bird was a golden eagle rather than a bald eagle. It was found along with two other birds. Mr. Clark said, "The investigation on this case is just beginning." He said the dead birds were brought to his center, but he had not done a complete post mortem on them because a decision was still pending on "who is to do that." He said the incident was similar to the killing of a pair of bald eagles in Rappahannock County in that there was no effort to hide the birds. "There is no reason to exclude the possibility that these are connected," Mr. Clark said. He said the reward for information on the killing of the eagles in Rappahannock would be extended to the Madison County incident, at least the private money pledged to the wildlife center. Of $9,000 offered in reward money, $4,000 was pledged to the center. "I can't speak for the Fish and Wildlife Service," he said. "These are close enough to cause us to sleep less soundly at night," he added. Indian artifacts explored Bring treasured Indian artifacts to the Rappahannock Historical Society's next meeting at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 5 at the Rappahannock County Courthouse-in Washington and let anthropologist Carole Nash of James Madison University identify them. If they are authentic Indian artifacts, chances are Miss Nash will be able to fix the date when they were made. Miss Nash has spoken to many local groups, including the Rappahannock Historical Society in November 1990. She returns on May 5 for this special "show and tell" program. Society members, their guests, and the general public are invited to attend, and to bring any local Indian materials they have collected. County stickers due May 1 County taxes must be paid and registration cards must be stamped by the Commissioner of the Revenue by May 1 for the coming year. When transferring a sticker from one vehicle to another the owner must return the old sticker and receipt to the Treasurer's Office before a duplicate will be issued. The Treasurer's Office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week. Call 675-3334 for more information. Government at a glance The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on the three redistricting^lans for magisterial districts at 7:30 p.m. April 25 in the county courthouse.

Draft budget would add to county fund surplus Overage made up by 911 service By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors got its first look at a $7.2 million draft budget for the 1992 fiscal year this week. The proposed budget is down $66,500 from the current budget and will add nearly $188,000 to the county’s surplus if current tax rates are adopted. Actually $40,000 of that surplus is earmarked for the Enhanced 911 emergency system, and the two dollar surcharge on telephone bills is expected to generate much more than $40,000 in the coming fiscal year. On the expenditure side $400,000 is for general government administration, an increase of $9,800 over the current budget. Of that, $5,400 is for an increase in compensation for members of the Board of Supervisors. This will bring their pay to $100 per month with additional pay for the chairman and vice-chairman. County Administrator John McCarthy said he had included this in the budget this year because the supervisors can vote an increase of the board’s compensation only in an election year when they are approving the increase for a future board that will take office after the election. He noted that the board had not had a raise in 12 years and said that the increase might make it possible for members to be compensated for the gasoline they use travelling to meetings. Also in this portion of the budget, the Board of Assessors is due for a $15,000 increase to $40,000. This is to complete the reSee BUDGET, p.

Wilder vetoes Senate redistricting plan By JEFF NELSON Arundel Newspaper! Staff Writer Gov. L. Douglas Wilder vetoed the Virginia Senate redistricting plan because of its small number of new black-nuyority districts but signed the House plan April 19. The action requires that the Senate reconvene in Richmond next week to try again. “We’re basically back to the drawing board,” said Sen. Charles Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax). Sen. Waddell said that the veto was not unex pected, and that the next try by the Senate will likely change the district lines north of Richmond very little if at all. Wilder called for a Senate plan that creates five black districts but has not revealed how the districts should be drawn. The rejected Senate plan had three black districts, one more than the current number. “The tinkering (with the plan) most likely will stay in Tidewater and southeastern Virginia,” Waddell said. Sen. William Truban (R-Warren/Clarke) said that he sees the new redistricting session as a chance to re draw the lines in a way that is more favorable to his region. “We hope to be able to do something,” Truban said. The veteran Woodstock Republican was not optimistic, however, about his chances to change the plans much. Sen. Truban hinted that he may not run in the general elections this November if his district remains the one drawn for him by the Senate this year. The district extends from Shenandoah County through the center of See WILDER, p. A-2 Young and old athletes run Fodderstack 10-K By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer Each year, participants in the annual Fodderstack 10-K Classic seem to get younger. This year’s race begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27, in Flint Hill. Last year, one of the youngest to finish was Michael Fairbrother of Woodville. Taking off with the runners who spring forward at the sound of the shot, 5-year-old Michael and his sis ter, Meghan, 8, began the race in Flint Hill. “They were so proud of themselves,” when they finished, said their mother, Cheryl. “It was a great family experience.” Deciding at the last minute, the three set off for the event. “It was a great day and I said let’s go and they were set,” she said. The three went as a family. See RACE, p. A-6 County roads get new names for 911 service By SHARON KILPATRICK Rawahannock Newt Staff Writer Members of the Board of Supervisors have received a list of names proposed for all the roads in the county. Assigning road names is needed for establishing the Enhanced 911 emergency system. The list was prepared by the volunteer fire and rescue departments, which each proposed names for their own section of the county. The list covers not only state primary and secondary roads, but also driveways serving more than one house under right-of-way agreements. In general the fire and rescue squads tried to assign traditional names. jSee ROAD, p. A-2 Soccer practice _ .....

■Hi i. \ Police, court activity Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson sentenced 47-year-old David “Buddy” Pullen to five years in the Virginia Department of Corrections for possession of a sawed-off shotgun. The sentencing took place in Rappahannock Circuit Court April 18. All but 80 days were suspended, and they will be served on weekends. Pullen was ordered to undergo two years of supervised probation upon completion of the sentence. The gun was forfeited to the court. A charge of possession of a concealed weapon was dismissed. In police activity this week: • John Daniel Entley, 22, of Centreville, was charged with possession of marijuana and speeding on U.S. 211 in Amissville at 4:50 p.m. Saturday, April 20, according to Sgt. D.S. Adams of the State Police. Entley was stopped by Trooper H.A. Newlin after he went through a radar checkpoint at 66 mph, according to the police report. A consent search revealed a bag of marijuana, said Adams. • State Police also charged a 31-year-old Flint Hill man with possession of marijuana after a traffic stop on U.S. 211 at 3:25 p.m., according to Sgt. G.A. Morris of the State Police. Gary Jordan was a passenger in a car that was stopped for speeding by Trooper C. A. Moore, said Sgt. Morris.

JOINT PUBLIC HEARING INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN: COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK & TOWN OF WASHINGTON On Monday, May 6,1991, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, Va., the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors and the Town Council of Washington, Virginia, shall each hold a public hearing on the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission Intergrated Solid Waste Management and Recycling Plan. The plan, prepared by the consulting firm of Dewberry & Davis, will be explained by Mr. Albert Free, the Manager of the project, who will also answer questions concerning its findings and recommendations. Copies of the Plan are available for inspection from 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday at the County Administrator's Office on Gay Street in Washington. The plan has been prepared in conformity with VR 672-50-01 and is intended to guide the County of Rappahannock and Town of Washington in Solid Waste planning decision-making for a five year period commencing July 1, 1991, and to accomplish the recycling goals as required by §10.1-1411 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 (as amended).

Road Continued from page A-1 For example Route 622 north off U.S. 211 to the top of the mountain would be named Gid Brown Hollow Road, and from the top of the mountain to Washington it would be named Harris Hollow Road. However, south from U.S. 211 to Rock Mills it would be Shade Road. The fire and rescue squads have left some road names for the supervisors to select. No names are suggested for Route 670 south off 610 in Chester Gap, Route 613 north off U.S. 211 in AmissviUe, or Route 679 south off U.S. 211 between Massie’s Comer and Route 729. The Board of Supervisors will schedule a public hearing on these road names, probably next month. Once the road names have been approved the board will contract with an outside firm to do mapping and number the houses on the roads. County Administrator John McCarthy noted in a letter to the supervisors that the surcharge on telephone bills to pay for the E-911 system is bringing in $9,300 per month, which should enable the county to pay the full cost. Judge rules against insanity defense as Allison nears trial By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer U.S. District Court Judge Alben V. Bryan Jr. has ruled that Kennj W. Allison’s attorney can’t mount ai insanity defense when the trial be gins next week. Allison, 36, of Marshall, faces nu merous federal charges resulting from an extensive FBI investigatior of his alleged cocaine distributor network, the most serious being th< “Kingpin Statute”: operation of i continuing criminal exterprise em ploying five or more persons. H( also faces cocaine conspiracy, co caine distribution, firearms anc money-laundering counts. Also on trial next week will bt Allison’s sister, Thelma Allisor Knowlton, of Marshall. She has beer charged with conspiracy and cocairn distribution, among other charges. Eight co-conspirators have already entered guilty pleas to conspiracy to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine: Henry Payne, 42, of Washington, Va.; Jimmy Willard Melvin, 40, of Front Royal (now in prison); Ronnie Kendrick of Marshall; David Moore of Upperville; Randy Shirkey, 26, of Marshall; and Ian Nicholson, 27, of Marshall. Two anonymous witnesses have entered pre-indictment sealed pleas, agreeing to testify against Allison in court, according to Apperson. Allison’s attorney, Jonathan Shapiro of Alexandria, filed a notice in U.S. District Court on Monday, April 22, that he intended to raise an insanity defense, and under federal rules he must do so early on in the case. With jury selection and opening statements in the Allisons’ trial due to start on Monday, April 29, at 10 a.m., the prosecution objected. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Apperson filed a motion to strike the notice, which Judge Bryan granted. Other forms of the insanity defense, including “diminished mental capacity,” are also covered by the ruling, according to Apperson. Mr. Shapiro submitted a threepage letter from a Chevy Chase psychiatrist, Dr. David Pickar, who interviewed Allison in jail last week. According to Mr. Apperson, the letter was “inconclusive on the face of it,” saying more study would be needed. In accordance with federal rules, Mr. Apperson filed exhibits with the court on Tuesday, more than five days before the Allisons’ case is set to begin. Exhibits include some cocaine, about an ounce; numerous scales; records; photos and dozens of Allison’s firearms. Allison, an avid hunter, drywall contractor and Marshall native, was arrested in November when more than 50 federal agents executed search warrants on his homes in Marshall and Washington, Va., as well as warrants on other properties in Fauquier County.

His two homes have already been seized by the federal government, as well as several cars, two all-terrain vehicles and interest in two horses. Allison was arrested just before the raids during a hunting trip in Wyoming. A convicted felon, he nonetheless owned and hunted with an extensive firearms collection, according to court documents. He was arrested for drunk driving in Wyoming. In asking a federal judge for permission to tap Allison’s phones, the FBI said it was concerned about possible “informational contacts” Allison may have had with “local law enforcement.” Despite that and other indications in court documents that Allison’s network is thought to be much larger than just those already indicted, no additional indictments have been issued since February. Apperson would not comment on that and other aspects of the government’s ongoing investigation. Apperson has said he intends to call dozens of witnesses in the case, although he is not required by law to say in advance who he has subpoenaed. Allison’s attorney, Jonathan Shapiro, did not return repeated phone calls this week. Wilder Continued from page A-1 Fauquier County to the Potomac River in Prince William County. “At the present time, I don’t have the desire to represent (Prince William County,) Sen. Truban said. Del. Linda Rollins (R-Loudoun/Fauquier) said that she was disappointed but not surprised that Gov. Wilder signed the House redistricting plan. Under the new plan, Del. Rollins would represent half of the Town of Leesburg, most of rural Loudoun, all of Clarke County, parts of northern Fauquier County and two precincts in Fairfax County. “With all of his (Wilder’s) statements in the papers that he was going to look after the people instead of the party, he didn’t do that,” Del. Rollins said. She said that she believes the Republican Party of Virginia is going ahead with its plans to sue over the House redistricting proposal. The suit would likely allege that House Democrats drew the new districts in an effort to dilute Republican strength at the expense of keeping communities of interest intact, according to Republican lawmakers. The Senate began working on a new plan to submit to Gov. Wilder yesterday and hopes to convene in full session April 29 to vote on its second effort. In addition to the veto of the Senate plan, lawmakers were scrambling to play down the news that a coalition of rural school districts is preparing to file a lawsuit over inequities in state education funding. “I don’t think there’s going to be a suit,” said Sen. Truban. “There’s too many other things wrong (with education in the state). Money’s not going to solve the problem. Buildings aren’t going to solve the prob lems. You’ve got to be able to get the education to the students.” Sen. Waddell said he was hopefiil that the General Assembly could address the issue in the 1992 session with a revised formula that would include each county’s efforts at creating a good school system. “I’m hoping that cooler heads previal. I’d like to see us be able to address this in the General Assembly in the next session, after this redistricting. The suburban/urban areas are going to be in clear control of these issues in 1992,” Sen. Waddell said. The rural area representatives are pointing to a study commissioned by Gov. Wilder that showed a disparity in education funding that could cost as much as $400 million to correct. Cuts in education funding caused by the state budget shortfall of more than $2 billion made it difficult for the Assembly to address the disparity situation. Advocates for the rural school systems have called for a one-half cent increase in the state sales tax to remedy the situation. One other proposal involves giving less state money to the wealthier counties to leave more money for the poorer school districts. More acres put under easement Fifty-one more acres in Rappahannock have been protected by easement so far in 1991, according to figures supplied by the Piedmont Environmental Council. In the Albemarle-to-Loudoun region of the Piedmont, 1,687 new acres have been protected, bringing to 68,371 the total acres protected in the region. There are 4,779 acres under easement in Rappahannock.

Girls softball tearn^ rallies to beat Page By MARK SCOLFORO •UmmliMiiiock Newt Stuff Writer The Rappahannock High girls softball team poised itself for a bid for the district playoffs by staging an unforgettable final-inning comeback Friday to beat previously undefeated Page in a home contest, 10-9. The girls were behind 9-3 going into the bottom of the ninth inning before nine players in a row got on base, scoring seven runs. Heidi Maeyer started the rally with a lead-off walk, then advanced on a Marsha Freeman single. Both Maeyer and Freeman scored on hit by Heather Coffey, bringing the score to 9-5. Susan Payne walked, then a Bonnie Jewell single knocked in another run, making the score 9-6. Angela Pullen then smacked a triple, sending in two runners and leaving tlfc Lady Panthers only one run back. Ketrich Beaver hit a single, scoring Pullen, but Beaver was thrown out trying to steal. Emma Swatman came to the plate with the score tied and one out, getting a single. She advanced to second on another single, then stole third. The Page County catcher overthrew third trying to pick off Swatman, who was waived home with the winning run. “People were going crazy; it was unbelievable,” said Coach Renee Leake. “Beating Page, the first.place team, is going to help us out a lot.” Page went to the regional tournament last year. They had been 120 going into the game; the loss drops them to 12-1. The top four teams from the regular season advance to the district tournament. Last year the Rappahannock softball team came in fifth, narrowly missing a post-season berth. This week, about halfway through the season, the Lady Panthers are tied for fourth with Central, who they were slated to play Wednesday. Friday’s game is against Manassas Park. Both games this week are home and start at 5 p.m. The Lady Panthers are now 4-4 in the Bull Run District, 4-6 overall. Leading the team in batting average is Heather Coffey, who is hitting .512. Other leaders are Swatman (.500), Sherron Boddie (.480) and Pullen (.480). Baseball team wins, 11-10 The Rappahannock High baseball team got its first Bull Run District victory of the year Friday when it beat Page 11-10 in five innings. Page had been in second place in the district, but the loss to Rappahannock dropped its record to 10-3. The Panthers are now 2-7 overall, 1-7 in the district — with games against weaker opponents in the next two weeks. Ninth-grader J.C. Welch picked up the win by throwing only nine pitches in relief. The Panthers were able to make up for defensive lapses at the plate by collecting eight hits, seven for extra bases and two triples. Catcher Kevin Daymude, who leads the team with a .417 average, hit a deep double that knocked in two runs in the bottom of the fifth, tieing the score 10-10. Pinch runner Keith Gore scored from second on a passed ball and a single. Rappahannock is scheduled to play Central at home Wednesday, April 24 and against Manassas Park at home on Friday, April 26. Although the Panthers have just won their first district contest, several teams are tied with .500 records, and the top four teams advance to the district tournament. Coach Mike Tupper said the Panthers have an outside shot at making it if they can play more consistently. ‘We’ve got to win these two games this week,” said Coach Tupper.

Crop looks peachy, first time in 3 years Spring frost spared orchards By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock N«w« Staff Writer „ The days have been warm enough for bees to pollinate. The nights have been cool but not too cold. The rain has been plentiful and adequate. This year for the first in at least three, Rappahannock County peach orchards owners are looking at a bountiful crop. “I’ve never seen this many blossoms on a branch,” orchard keeper Leon Hutcheson of Washington said. His orchard, some 200 trees, sits high atop Jenkins Mountain, overlooking Rappahannock County High School and most of the county. “We are going to have to take off half of this bloom,” he said, his thumb flicking the tiny green peaches from the branch. “But, it’s nice having the choice to remove them,” he said with a smile. For the past three years, the warm January and February afternoons, often reaching 70 degrees, have forced the young buds to develop prematurely, leaving them susceptible to the cold that followed in March and April. Snow, ice, high winds and freezing temperatures have destroyed the crop the last few years, leaving orchard keepers with little to no profit and local consumers with empty crates. “I’ve just never seen it like this,” Mr. Hutcheson said, indicating the 10 small peaches growing in a span of six inches. “If you left all these on the branch, you would end up with peaches the size of marbles,” he explained. Mr. Hutcheson has kept his orchard for 10 years, planted on the slope to ward off settling cold. “There should be a peach every six or eight inches,” Rappahannock County Extension Agent Tommy Williams said. “The faster the peaches are thinned, the bigger the final product,” he said, echoing Mr. Hutcheson’s words on one of the most bountiful crops in years. “It’s a very expensive process” for the orchard keeper, Mr. Williams said of the peach bud removal. “There are no chemicals so it’s all manual.” He said many peach growers use new toilet bowl brushes, sticks with rubber hoses attached to one end to remove the excess. Or they use their fingers. Removal of the extra blooms allow for the peach to develop without removing an excess of valuable nutrients from the tree. ‘The bees have pollinated,” the trees in Louis Moore’s orchard, located on Fodderstack Road, said Mr. Moore. His 10 to 12 acres of peaches “are looking very good,” he said, adding this year it’s a “big bud crop.” He explained that after the tree Buffers a loss like the one last year, when 90 percent of the peach crop was frozen at bud stage, often the following year will bring a “bumper crop. Big bud is a colloquial term but it means there are more buds on the tree than normal,” he said. “The peaches are set,” he said, explaining that unless the county is hit with p sudden cold wave, the peachqfkmll survive. Mr Motire said “apples are in blossom and many have been pollinated, but they could be more susceptible to cold weather.” “I’d like to see a few warm days,” Mr. Williams said. “I’d like to see more bee activity” in the apple orchards, he said. “This year, as with others, we are running a couple of weeks ahead of schedule, but you can expect peaches — if all goes well — the first of July,” Mr. Moore said, adding his orchard should produce peaches until September. Mr. Hutcheson’s orchard is part of Virginia’s Finest, an agricultural standard established by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which acknowledges perfect produce, produces apples for his own usage, peaches, nectarines, roses and mums for retail. “We had to branch out to other things because you could not count on the peach crop,” he said. He has 300 long-stem rose bushes and 3,000 mums, available for fall planting. Besides fighting the cooling effect of Jack Frost, orchard keepers like Mr. Hutcheson fight nature’s own. “Bears love this fruit,” he said, adding the bears come down from the national forest that borders his property and “tear the trees to pieces. They can’t eat the ones off the bottom. They have to reach up to the tops and in the process, tear the tree to shreds.” Several trees in Mr. Hutcheson’s orchard are young, newly planted after older ones were damaged by bears. “The cubs don’t hurt the tree so badly. They can just climb up there and sit but the big ones pull it apart,” he said. l&appafjannocfe iJetos offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00-first sheet $2.00-each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00-first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet c l&appafjannocfeiJetosi Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 r koj# %t\C.

The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1991 A good cause People who donate to charities often want to help individuals better themselves and improve society in general. Unfortunately, we live in a time when far too many “charitable organizations” spend the vast portion of their donations either raising more money or paying administrative salaries. National charities, particularly, are usually so far away from the donor, both in distance and philosophy, that they tend to be inefficient, at best. The recent fund drive by the county chapter of Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA-Rappahannock), by contrast, deserves our attention and support. With the new library building nearing completion, LVA-Rappahannock has been offered basement space in the building, but the group needs money to finish and furnish their new teaching area. They need money to purchase a range of items from acoustic ceiling tile to carpeting, tables, chairs and telephone line, to list just a few of the things their plans entail. In fact, some of the furnishings have already been donated, and others, such as desks, are probably gathering dust in someone’s barn right now. But mostly they need money, which leads to a good question: Why should you donate to the LVA Rappahannock chapter, especially during a recession? Literacy is an investment that pays dividends to everyone. An effective adult reading program, for example, can do more to help whole families rise above the poverty level than anything else. Health care also tends to rise with education level. LVA-Rappahannock is relatively new, but members have been busy organizing, teaching and fundraising. There are 16 tutors and about 12 students getting one-on-one instruction, but more teachers and students are being sought. The group also conducts classes for those who want to obtain a general equivalency diploma (GED), a service that is desperately needed here. To donate to the LVA-Rappahannock building fund, or to volunteer, call Lee Bird at 675-3263 or write: P.O. Box 356, Flint Hill, 22627. Many programs set out to help the underprivileged, with varying degrees of success. Adult literacy has the advantage of attracting only those who are serious about improving themselves. When they succeed, we all win. / r there's something in THE AIR FOLKS/ I CANT POT MY FINGER ON IT BUT I HAVE THE feeling A MAJOR UPSET IS IN THE MAKING// L IS l tew: FODDERSTACF 10-K RAGE 1991 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock High baseball fans had plenty to cheer about — but not the weather0— during Friday’s win. 4 Letters to the Editor What we really do To the Editor: In response to “We Kill Eagles,” by Marilouise K. Bane (letters, April 18): Thig letter is to say that, like Ms. Bane, I deplore the killing of the eagles, and to introduce her to the real United States, where she will find life much better, I am sure, than it is where she is now. Here, we do help refugees from defeated countries, we do house the homeless, we do feed our children, we do pay to finance education, mental health programs, social services, and programs for the disabled. Naturally, as intelligent people, we do our level best not to hand our money over until we are satisfied that it will go to help the people it is supposed to help, and not the people who elect themselves to do the helping. It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. Dissension does ensue, wherefore the growth of an American institution called “Letters to the Editor,” one of the brightest jewels in Miss Liberty’s crown. As to emptying ashtrays in people’s driveways and dumping garbage by the side of the road, there are people who do these things, obviously a “he” or “she,” perhaps an occasional “they,” but a “we”? No. A “we” has to include a “me,” and my mother would rise and dismember me. Neatly. Probably recycle me too. Into a mop, probably, much as I would rather be a paperweight. But I digress. Yes, there are those among us who tried to run over a man carrying a replica of the cross on Good Friday, but even that’s progress. The first time, they caught Him and hung Him on that cross and tormented Him until he died. So we are improving. Let’s take consolation from that and look at each other with a kinder eye. For every one among us who will kill an eagle, there are many more who protect the lives of the most helpless as we would our own. Under the Constitution, that, as Ms. Bane points out, was written for all of us, we are all free to be our many different selves in our many different ways. Long live the difference! EDITH POND Sperryville Sad to say goodbye To the Editor: With much sadness and regret, I am writing to say goodbye. Although Rappahannock County has only been, my home for a little over two years, I consider it just that, my home. There are few places left where the uniqueness of neighbors actually still being neighbors, and friends actually still being there when they are needed, are a reality. Acting as the new county animal shelter manager for the past months has made this realization hit home. This is a great place, and I’m grateful to all the people who helped me realize that. I thank everyone in the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League for their help and friendship. I thank all the people who participated in the success of the shelter through volunteer time, donations, and their words of appreciation and encouragement. I hope for all the success the shelter deserves, community involvement is encouraged, necessary, and appreciated. And lastly, a special thanks to Animal Warden Ray Pullen, an excellent person for a very hard job. Thanks Ray and everyone for making my job and my time spent here so eryoyable and unforgettable. TRACEY CLARK Woodville Art show thank yous To the Editor: As my art exhibition at Middle Street Gallery comes to a close this Sunday, April 28, I would like to thank the many members of our community who helped me in my endeavor. My thanks go to my family for their sacrifices and good ideas; the members of Middle Street Gallery for making a professional exhibition space exist here; the administration and School Board of the Rappahannock public schools for funding my residency in the elementary school; the faculty and students of RCES, whose encouragement and enthusiasm made painting in the halls a pleasure; the Virginia Commission of the Arts for also funding this project; the members of Sunday Dreamers for their collaborative and dramatic skill (Tutt Harris, Cathy Dancing Reed, Chris White and Carol Lucking); the technical helpers - Mike Dunnigan, Tom Sawyer and Jensen Kvames; the parents of the child performers, especially Margaret Dunn, who handled mixups with great humor; RAAC for its support on many fronts; Sally Nash for donating rehearsal space at Workspace for Choreographers; Wendy Weinberg for her support of the benefit performance of “Dreaming and the Pursuit of Light” that raised funds for Save the Children; CCLC for rehearsal space; Janet Bouffard for her word processing skills; Linda Ramer for her curatorial assistance; Ozzie Pace for his skilled craftsmanship in framing my paintings; the Lyman family for their help carrying fishes and loaves to the opening; Rev. Forrest Freeman for introducing the performance; Diane Wood for her spiritual understanding; Chuck Partington, who enriched my perception of my work; and to the Rappahannock News, which gave this project coverage above and beyond the call of duty. I am fortunate to live in a community where I am free and safe to experiment and grow artistically and spiritually, knowing I will receive honest feedback and genuine support. LAURIE MARSHALL Washington Earth Day helping hands To the Editor: Many thanks to the individuals and organizations that provided assistance for the Earth Day activities scheduled here in the county this year! The local VDOT provided bags, safety vests, maps and pick-up, the Rappahannock News provided firstrate publicity, John McCarthy and Bet Gehringer were always there for advice and helpful information, and the Rappahannock High School Environmental Club, its sponsor, science teacher Patti Waddell, and principal John Toth, provided educational promotion by holding an assembly on Earth Day and declaring the week of April 22-26 Earth Week at the high school. The Piedmont Environmental Council’s Environmental Education co-ordinator, Cynthia Decanio, took time from her busy nine-county schedule to address the assembly on the topic of the delicate balance for our water on the planet, and offered to assist us here in the county with any water studies of rivers and streams we might be concerned with. And last but not least, a heartfelt thanks to those individuals who braved the wet and windy weekend to help pick up trash along the Fodderstack before the big race, in Old Hollow, and along U.S. 522 and Route 664 in Huntly, including Paige Noel, Kevin Weisgerber, Jane Mullen and son Erin, Bethany Craig and the students of Spring Mountain School, and Tutt Stapp-Harris and son Jamie. May we all be more attentive to the delicate and precious balance of life here on our mother planet, and behave responsibly in so doing. HUNT HARRIS Huntly Don't throw away appeal To the Editor: Through the pages of your paper I would like to tell the citizenry that each household in the county this week or next will get a letter in the mail addressed to “Postal Patron.” This may look like just another piece of junk mail but it is not; please don’t “file” it in the wastebasket. It is a plea from the Red Cross for help from the people, help in the form of people’s money and also, for sure, people’s interest and activity in Red Cross things. We wouldn’t send out a countywide blanket letter, except that we don’t have a computerized list of names to write to, and anyhow a letter to everyone is the only way to invite everyone, rich and not rich, young and not-so-young, to become a part of the great body that is the American Red Cross. Please use the envelope inside the postal patron letter, fill in the information requested, enclose money, as much as you can give, and send it in. Everyone knows the great work the Red Cross does; nothing happens without help from the people. Also please remember and come to the annual meeting at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 28 at Napoleon’s Restaurant, 67 Waterloo St., Warrenton. To those who have already given in this drive, many, many thanks; your gift is appreciated and will be acknowledged shortly. ROBERT DORNIN Fauquier-Rappahannock Chapter American Red Cross The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO April 22, 1971 Lt. General Daniel Noce has given the Rappahannock Library a rare and important set of books, War of the Rebellion, the official U.S. war Department records, authorized by Congress in 1867, to be distributed on a very limited basis including one set to each state.

The University of Richmond Law Review is a legal peridocial published by the law students under general supervision of a board and a faculty advisor. Membership on the Law Review is among the highest honors that can be attained by a student. 10 YEARSAGO April 23,1981 Eight elementary band students represented Rappahannock County for the first time in District IX’s annual Solo and Ensemble Festival held Saturday, April 11, at Seneca Ridge Middle School in Sterling. Several youngsters participating won superior and excellent ratings for their renditions and will receive medals at the elementary school’s spring awards assembly in recognition of their achievements. Two Rappahannock men both from Flint Hill, took top awards recently at the Elk’s Lodge in Front Royal. Ed Marcey was named “Elk of the Year” and Wayne Sutphin was the winner of the pool tournament.

Garden Club holds meeting Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club were the guests of Roger Jones of Sperryville at the April 10 meeting. Mr. Jones, an avid waterfowl and bird protector and conservationist, offers a safe haven for many species through a series of nine ponds, which are spring-fed. Nesting boxes, protected islands and numerous birdhouses are also offered. Members saw osprey, wood ducks, Canada geese, and an Eastern bluebird nest with eggs, during their walk around the ponds. The business portion of the meeting followed at the home of Judy Halle. Outgoing Garden Club president Breezy Gannon attended the state convention in Williamsburg. On April 16-18 seven members of the Garden Club attended the Virginia State Convention in Williamsburg. Mrs. Frank Gannon, outgoing president of the local club, and Mrs. James White, incoming president, were among those in attendance. _—A member of the staff of Colonial \frilliamsburg created lovely floral/arrangements, and a talk was given on Colonial attire for womenA Program offers victims help ‘After physical harm is over, a scar remains ’ By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Every day in our cities and towns, someone becomes a victim of crime — rape, murder, child abuse, spouse abuse, theft, robbery, drunk driving, sexual assault, stabbings, muggings or business crimes. , The list grows longer as the victims come forward. “Many victims feel they are forgotten after the rescue and the courts,” Steven Hill, director of the Victims-of-Crime Assistance Progam (VCAP) for Rappahannock and Culpeper, said. “After the physical harm is over there remains an emotional scar,” he said. “We want the victims to see we are here, we care, and we will listen.” For the first time in this area, VCAP is sponsoring National Victims of Crime Week April 21-28. “We want to recognize the victims are still there and we can help,” Mr. Hill said. Wearing, displaying or showing the purple ribbon distributed by the VCAP office volunteers demonstrates someone cares. “Petersburg was the first to use the purple ribbon,” Mr. Hill said. “Quite often the victim feels he has been neglected. The purple stands for royalty. It is a fine choice to represent a victim,” he said. On April 22 and 23, volunteers from the VCAP office distributed the ribbons around the town of Culpeper and in Rappahannock Social Service headquaters, the courts and in the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office. ‘We do not have as many clients from Rappahannock as we would like,” Mr. Hill said, adding his services are free and if clients can not arrange travel to Culpeper, he can see them in Rappahannock. “If I can not come myself, I will send a volunteer,” Mr. Hill said, adding his office can only help those that come forward. , Landscapes | fire Oar S Business We’re a nursery specializing in hardy, locally grown evergreen trees and landscape plants, custom landscape designing and installation including timber walls and terraces Call us for any & all of your landscaping needs.

Using state and federal funds, Mr. Hill and his 62 volunteers help victims in a variety of ways. “We facilitate on the behalf of the victim,” he said, explaining he or his volunteers help victims learn courtroom procedures, mediate with court and law officals and assist with correctional understanding. “We help those who have been victimized,” he said, adding his degree in psychology can aid in preliminary counseling while funds assist with paying for indepth counseling if needed. ‘We help with crime prevention and we act as an escort when clients are threatened before court appearances,” he said. While his office assists with getting people through the crisis, it also works with other social and private offices that may be affected by the crime. “If it was a case of domestic violence, someone may be injured, so we contact the hospital; someone may need a home, so we call SAFE; and the children’s work in school may be affected, so we contact the schools. Food can be obtained through Food Stamps at Social Service or clothing through another source,” he said. “Besides helping the victim, we assist those [to avoid] becoming a victim,” he said, adding his office provides crime prevention meetings. He explained it can cost a community over $200 for one policeman to come into a business or home for teaching crime prevention. “Besides that, he is off the street,” Mr. Hill said, adding his office can help with crime prevention. “Quite often, its just replacement of mirrors or moving the cash register or changing the locks,” he said. “We want to get out there and remind people there are victims and we recognize them,” he said. “But, we also want to remind people they can become victims. We don’t like to think we can become victims but it can happen to anyone,” he said. “The more alert and aware you appear, the less likely you will become a victim,” he said. “Our goal is to cut down on the victims and the defendants in our courts,” he said. National Victims of Crime Week has been celebrated for more than four years, nationally. And, while offices and support for victims of crime operate in large cities across our state and nation, only two the caliber of the Culpeper office exist in Virginia. “Halifax County has a rural based office,” Mr. Hill said. “Hopefully, next year this program will grow to include Madison and in the near future, all of Planning District Nine.” “I’d like to plan a picnic for next year, maybe even a speaker,” he said of planned events. “But, it takes victims and volunteers.” Mr. Hill is the only paid employee in his office. The rest is done by volunteers. “I’d like to make a public service announcement video on showing volunteers how much they are appreciated,” Mr. Hill said. “You see them for drugs and alcohol but what about volunteers?” While volunteers are always needed, Mr. Hill is looking for those interested in music, drama and publication. “I would like to make a video and rap song about being the victim of a crime,” he said, explaining such a video and song would be directed at school children. His office publishes a volunteer quarterly newsletter. “I’ve too many jobs and not enough hands,” he said. “I want to get the word out there that we are here,” he said. Moving acres of grape vines put family's mettle to the test By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer (Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series on vineyards and wineries in Rappahannock County.) When the Kellert family moved to Amissville in 1986, they drew a great deal of attention from the neighbors. First to arrive in a U-Haul truck were 110 100-pound root balls wrapped in plastic garbage bags and stored in the bam — once a bustling horse stable on U.S. 211, across from the Amissville fire station. As spring greened the county, the Kellerts drew even more attention. “People would stop and look across the fence,” Cheryl Kellert said, sitting in her Amissville living room. “Sometimes, people would get out and take pictures of the fields or picnic in the drive and point to the fields with suspicion,” she laughed, remembering the attention the poles strung with wire drew. No, they weren’t jumps for horses. No, they weren’t tobacco or dwarf fruit trees. The Kellerts were building a vineyard. “We were looking for the perfect property for years,” Mrs. Kellert said, adding they happened upon the place. “We knew what we wanted.” What the family from Woodbridge wanted was a home and several acres to begin Gray Ghost Vineyards. “We started with 60 plants,” Mrs. Kellert said with a smile. The start was in Woodbridge. Behind their suburban home, the couple cared for probably the first and only vineyard in Woodbridge. “We bought the plants from Ingleside Vineyards,” she said, adding this is something “we have always wanted to do.” That was 1981. The vineyard grew across the Northern Virginia backyard until it numbered 110 plants. The couple picked and tended their backyard vineyard and made wine in their kitchen. Before long, the plants were six years old and the family was looking for space to spread their vineyard. “When we sold the house, the buyers did not want the vineyard,” A1 Kellert said. “And, we did not want to leave them behind,” Mrs. Kellert said, adding the plants were like “our babies. We couldn’t just leave them there.” So the chore of digging the vine and transplanting began. A root of a new four-inch visfe* is nearly two feet long before planting. When planted, the planter cuts the vine to just 12 inches. For three years, the tender growing vines are pruned of their fruit to allow an extensive and powerful root system to develop. After six years, the system is massive. “It was a great deal of work,” Mr. Kellert said, shaking his head as he remembered digging and moving the vines. ‘We were told it could not be done,” he said. “Now, when people refer to us, they call us the ‘crazy ones who transplanted their vines,’ ” he said with laughter. Their success has been published in wine and vineyard guides. The couple moved the 100-pound root balls by truck and stored them in the bam. ‘We moved in Decemeber so we were unable to plant until spring,” Mr. Kellert said, adding huge balls of earth were stored lumped together to prevent freezing and kept moist to prevent from drying. “When we went to plant them, we were only able to move two at a time in a wheelbarrow,” he said, shaking his head and laughing at the memories of moving huge root balls with barely any obvious growth. ‘We cut them back for two years,” he said. Even though the plants were older, a new root system needed to be developed so the plants were pruned as new plants for two years. That was five years ago, and 3,300 vines later, the couple looks forward to another harvest. “There are five acres of handplanted vines out there,” Mrs. Kellert said, shaking her head. “Two acres have hand-dug holes.” Holes for the post are deep — the post reaching nearly eight feet into the sky. Holes for four-inch plants are 12 inches wide and 18 inches deep. There are 600 plants to an acre. “There is 18 miles of wire,” in the vineyard, Mr. Kellert said, explaining their self-made trellis system has five wires per row. While Cheryl Kellert manages and tends the vineyards full-time, sparing a few hours a week to work in Linden Vineyards where she apprentices, A1 Kellert spends just part-time in the fields. He works full-time and often travels with his job at the Postal Service in Washington, D.C. ‘We could not do this without our children,” Mrs. Kellert said of the work.

Campaign begins for 31st District By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Political buttons decorate the walls of Jerry M. Wood’s office in the back of his pharmacy. Active in the Democratic party since 1962, Wood has had a zest for politics for as long as he can remember. “I've done everything from putting up signs to knocking on doors to running campaigns,” said Mr. Wood, owner of the Fauquier Pharmacy on Main Street in Warrenton. This year Mr. Wood feels the time is right to be a candidate, announcing his plans to seek election to the 31st District seat of the House of Delegates, which includes all of Rappahannock and most of Fauquier. Gov. Wilder signed off on the House’s redistricting plan as he vetoed the Senate’s last week. Mr. Wood had already announced his intention to seek the seat. “I’ve always been a bridesmaid, but not a bride,” he said. Mr. Wood, who has long fought for the notion of a Fauquier resident representing Fauquier in the House of Delegates, said that he would run for the House if the state legislature created a district with mostly Fauquier residents. The redistricting session of the Virginia General Assembly earlier this month gave Wood his chance by placing the majority of Fauquier in the 31st House District with the exception of the precincts of Rectortown and The Plains. Rappahannock County and four precincts of Warren County are also grouped with Fauquier in the new 31st District. “It’s not that Fauquier hasn’t Jerry M. Wood Age:54 Birthplace: Roanoke Occupation: Pharmacist Politics: Democrat, threetime chairman of Fauquier Democratic Committee Member: Virginia Board of Health Professions, Fauquier Optimist Club, Fauquier Democratic Committee, Virginia Retail Merchants Association, Virginia Small Business Council, and the Virginia Board of Pharmacy Family: Divorced; four children, Gregory, Christian, Julie and Laura. been represented. It certainly has been, with (delegates) Andy Guest and Mrs. (Linda) Rollins and Mr. (William) Howell,” said Mr. Wood. “And I think they’ve done a job as well as could be expected with the way that the territory has been split up.” Mr. Wood said, however, that more direct representation would serve the county better. “It’s nothing like having your own delegate,” Mr. Wood said. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder gave his stamp of approval to the House district plan on Friday, April 19, which must now meet the approval of the U.S. Department of Justice. Pleased with the new district lines, Mr. Wood said they offer better odds for a candidate to be elected from within Fauquier County. “I’m happy that some 44,000 people are together in Fauquier,” he said, “but at the same time I’m a little sad that Rectortown and The Plains are not in this district.” Wood has considered running for the House for the past 10 years but, with Fauquier split into three districts, the odds of winning were not in his favor. “There’s no sense in running a campaign where you can’t win,” he said. The Democrat said the responsibilites of a legislator must include providing constituent service and state leadership for the area he represents. “The problem area where most fail in the legislature is that part of the leadership,” Mr. Wood said. Legislators and their constituents need to work together to come up with innovative ideas to address the problems related to drug abuse, the environment, law enforcement and other concerns, he explained. “Not only am I going to come up with these answers, but the people of the county are going to come up with these answers,” said Mr. Wood. In this way, he said, the 31st District area can really be a leader in Virginia. “We were a leader at one time under (former Del.) Tom Frost,” he said. “My job is going to be to see that Rappahannock and the four precincts from Warren and also Rectortown and The Plains feel that they can come to me and sit down and talk to me,” said Mr. Wood, “and we’re going to iron out the problems and come out with some good ideas and some good legislation.” Mr. Wood already has a button with his name on it to add to his collection of campaign buttons. He said he expects a lot of serious work and money to go into his campaign. “But at the same time, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have some fun doing it,” Mr. Wood said. “I’m learning how to be a good listener,” he added, “and I think that’s very important in a delegate.” Mr. Wood said that the motivating force in his pharmacy business and in his pursuit of a House seat, is his desire to help people. If elected, Mr. Wood said “people power” will be his simple approach to lawmaking. “I’m there to represent those folks. It isn’t always going to be my view on a lot of those bills,” said Mr. Wood, but rather the view of the majority of the constituents. His stance on various issues appears to have been well thought out. “I’ve been around these issues a long time and this is not something new,” he said. Mr. Wood said that education and the drug problem are chief among his concerns in the state today. He said that the state needs to provide quality teachers. “Children are our most important resource, and we’ve got to see that there’s proper funding for the right number of teachers to educate our children,” Mr. Wood said. He added, however, that “quality education doesn’t always mean more money.” VIRGINIA GOLD CUP _ 66th Annual Running L Official 1991 Painting, "Over the Water" by Fay Moore Enjoy a Full Day of Championship Steeplechasing SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1991 at GREAT MEADOW RACE COURSE The Plains, Vitginia With a Victory Salute to our Persian Gulf Troops ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY Tickets Available at the Following Outlets: Warrenton Horse Country 347-3141 Stable Door 347-2586 Erol's Video 349-9192 Hampton Inn 349-4200 Marshall Marshall Hardware 364-2944 The Plains Great Meadow 253-5001 The Corner Store 253-5440 Pail Ctnn OCQ UCLA A VIRGINIA Middleburg Dominion Saddlery 687-6720 Fredericksburg Erol's Video 373-7250 F Leesburg Erol's Video 777-9105 1 Culpeper Erol's Video 825-7595 Falls Church WOODWARD & LOTHROP, Seven Corners 532-4200 Alexandria WOODWARD & LOTHROP.

The work is time-consuming and often easily destroyed by rain, disease and pests. “Sometimes you wish the sun would never set” on the work needed to be done, and “sometimes you can’t wait for the sun to set,” Mrs. Kellert said. She once harvested in the rain, and the days even now stretch on and on. “It’s all trial by error,” she said of the work. Presently, the Kellerts have five acres in grapes. They hope to cultivate 15 acres of their 22-acre farm. Their grape variety is extensive.

This year, the March of Dimes has combined its annual Walk America event with the race, further inviting county residents to enjoy the course on Fodderstack Road. Pledge forms for the Walk America event can be found in most county stores, government offices and farm supply businesses. Walkers for the March Of Dimes event start after those participating in the registered Fodderstack race and conclude their trek on Jett Street in Washington. Walkers and runners for the 13th Annual Fodderstack Classic can participate in the Walk America event as well as the race by registering for the race, the day of the race and by completing pledge forms. The annual Fodderstack event, held each April, begins in Flint Hill and meanders up hill and down via the Fodderstack Road to end in Washington, in front of the historic court house. T-shirts for the first 300 to finish are provided by The Inn At Little Washington. Cold drinks for hot tired finishers are provided by Pepsi Cola in Warrenton. Trophies in eight categories are given. While the event provides a chance for family to stroll among the greening of spring, avid runners from miles around gather at the starting line in an attempt to conqure the Fodderstack Hill and win the $300 reward for breaking the record time. The record for men was set in 1986 by Steve Pinard — a winning 31.26. The women’s record is held by Kim Belyea of Winchester — an unbreakable 36.46. Registration the day of the race begins at 8:30 a.m. in front of the warehouse in Flint Hill, next to Settle’s Garage. The race begins at 10 a.m. Registration is $15 with proceeds benefitting the Rappahannock Recreational Authority.

Public gets chance to view town plan PD-9 official offered changes By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Mews Staff Writer A scant quorum of the town Planning Commission met briefly Monday evening and voted to readvertise the revised subdivision ordinance for a public hearing in May. The planners thought they had finished with revising the ordinance when they held a public hearing on it in February. They decided to submit it to a professional planner and continue the hearing until March. In March the hearing was again continued until April. Gordon Jones of Planning District 9 reviewed the ordinance and redrafted several sections. The planners met with Mr. Jones last Thursday to consider his recommended changes. Mr. Jones suggested language for the ordinance that would make it more like ordinances for other towns. The planners let him know they didn’t want to develop like other towns. His first suggestion was to rename it the “Subdivision and Development Ordinance.” Planning Commission Chairman Louise Van Dort said. “You used the D word; can you tell us your reasoning?” Mr. Jones said the language was suggested by the state legislation that requires localities to have subdivision ordinances. “It used to be the Land Subdivision Act. and it was revised and- renamed the Subdivision and Development Act,” he said. Mr. Jones had suggested that the prohibition on package sewage treatment plants be removed. The planners said it had to remain. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said package treatment would be allowed when an existing septic system failed, but the planners did not want any new lots with failing septic systems. Mr. Jones had removed the requirement that each lot have an approved location for a primary and secondary drainfield. He suggested they let the Health Department determine if a backup location should be required. “The Health Department has said it will be driven by our ordinance,” Mr. Reynolds said. The planners insisted that language go back in the ordinance. Mr. Jones had removed the requirement that there be a public hearing for subdivision approval. “I took that out because it is not required,” Mr. Jones said. “It will Streamline the process. However, if you want to make it more difficult, put it in.” “We have to have a public hearing,” member Mitzi Young said. The planners agreed to require a public hearing. The original ordinance had required that the two sites for drainfields be large enough to serve a three-bedroom house. Mr. Jones said that requirement was “exclusionary.” The planners left Mr. Reynolds with the responsibility to determine if the language changed the conditions of the ordinance so much that it would have to be readvertised. Late Monday afternoon Mr. Reynolds advised the planners that he felt the changes were great enough to require the ordinance be readvertised. Youth baseball season opens The Rappahannock Athletic Association officially begins its 1991 youth baseball season with opening ceremonies at 1 p.m. April 27 at Stuart Field in Amissville.

Steve Young to have marrow transplant Next week, when Steve Young undergoes the first nonrelated-donor bone marrow transplant ever performed in Virginia, it will be a milestone for medicine. For Mr. Young, a husband and father of two boys, the date will be a milestone as well. He hopes the painful procedure will lead to full recovery from leukemia, the debilitating form of cancer for which he was diagnosed in 1988. The transplant, to be performed at the U.Va. Hospital in Charlottesville, is the first in the state for which the person donating the healthy bone marrow is not a relative. . Mr. Young’s anonymous donor was a perfect fit. Because matches are so difficult, family members are often donors. Mr. Young and his wife, the former Melody Poehler, both worked at the Fauquier TimesDemocrat until recently, when he has been able to work only sporatically. They live with their two sons, 8-year-old Thomas and 5 year-old Daniel in Old Hollow. During the two and a half years since he was diagnosed with cancer, Mr. Young has undergone a variety of treatments. The transplant, however, is his best shot for a full recovery. “I’ve talked about it with a number of people who have been through it,” he said. “There’s quite a lot of sickness involved, that’s the main thing.” His body will be subjected to high-intensity doses of radiation and chemotherapy as doctors try to kill off his natural white blood cells. Recovery in the hospital will take six to eight weeks, he said, and even upon return he may have to remain isolated for up to two months out of fear of infection. “Even the common cold can kill you” when natural resistance is down, he said. Friends and supporters can write to him while he’s recovering following the transplant at: U.Va.

Don and Mary Neilsen requested the special use permit to build the kennel on a 26-acre parcel they plan to buy from Alfredo Pestana in Blue Ridge View Farm. The Neilsens raise schipperkes, pronounced skipper keys, a breed of small black dog that was developed in Belgium. Mr. Nielsen said they raise the dogs to show and sell some puppies, but he said his was a “hobby kennel.” He said he would not be taking in dogs to board or train and that he would advertise his dogs in breed magazines. The planners asked that the kennel be located over a hill from the road so that the sound of barking dogs would be screened from neighbors. Greg Clark, the Realtor handling the sale from the Pestanas to the Nielsens, said Mr. Pestana had been a “nervous seller. ” He said the Pestanas had checked the current location of the Nielsens’ kennel in northern Virginia and were “impressed that with 500 houses around him there had been no problems.” The planners next considered the problem of steep private driveways that wash out onto public roads. New driveways being put in Harris Hollow particulaf|y concerned them. County Administrator John McCarthy said he had talked about the problem with Robert Moore, resident engineer for the highway department. Mr. McCarthy said Mr. Moore told him there were regulations for private driveways that would take care of the problem but his department had not been strictly enforcing them. Mr. McCarthy said the planners should recommend that the Board of Supervisors write to Mr. Moore asking for strict enforcement of entrance requirements. With enforcement of highway department entrance requirements, builders may be required to put in tapers and will be required to put in culverts and to see that the driveway is relatively flat for the first 12 feet. This would make it easier for a car to pull off the road before starting up the driveway and for the driver to stop before pulling out onto the highway. “Mr. Moore needs an indication Rappahannock wants the standards enforced and is willing to take the heat for the increased cost of the driveway,” Mr. McCarthy said. He said the subdivision ordinance would also have to refer to these entrance standards. Board of Zoning Appeals representatives to the Planning Commission made the motion that Mr. McCarthy prepare such a letter for the Board of Supervisors, and the motion passed unanimously. Moms Continued from page A-1 rities and high academic expectations Wakefield has for its students. “You don’t have to be a genius to go to Wakefield, but you do have to be willing to work hard to be the best student you can be,” he said. Bethany Craig, founder of the Spring Mountain School, began by outlining the basic theory behind Waldorf education and how it influences the education she and her staff provide students. Her goals to expand include a first and second grade and one grade each year after, she said. The homeschooling option was creatively presented by Diane Wood, a homeschooling parent and Mothering Cooperative member. As the daughter of a Wakefield kindergarten teacher, and previous elementary school teacher herself, she embarks on homeschooling well prepared with curriculum and educational materials, which she shared with the group. “While it is not always easy, it has been a choice I’ve been happy with up until now. I’m always open to change in order to suit what I feel is best for my children,” she said. Many mothers and children lingered long after the presentation was over to enjoy the early afternoon and company. Mothers’ gatherings are held the third Thursday of every month at the park, or at Trinity Episcopal in case of rain. Next month’s speaker will be Theresa Wagg to talk about preparing nutritious, wholesome meals.

Top score Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Alex Sharp of Eileen Day Realtors was congratulated last week by the Virginia Real Estate Educational Foundation for his perfect score on the final exam before graduation from the Realtor’s Institute. Dropout rate lowered in last 2 years By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Virginia is making an effort to reduce school dropouts. In 1988-89 the statewide dropout rate was 4.8 percent. In 1989-90 the rate was 4 percent. In Rappahannock County at the same time the rate was reduced from 4.1 percent to 2.5 percent. In actual numbers this means that 18 out of 444 students in seventh through twelfth grade dropped out in 1988-1989 and only 11 out of 436 did last year. For the past two years the state has spent $15.9 million on dropout prevention grants to local school systems. Another $10.4 million has been approved for the next school year. Rappahannock received a $14,700 dropout grant this school year and is budgeting $8,800 for the coming year. In addition, the school system is applying for a grant from the federal government for the coming year. For the past, two years Susan Fox has been employed part time as the dropout coordinator. Mrs. Fox said that last year her efforts were concentrated on providing study groups for seniors experiencing troubles with certain required courses, chiefly government and consumer mathematics. She said this year she is trying to emphasize prevention by working with students in eighth and ninth grades. However, the after-school study groups continue, and students are particularly interested in taking advantage of the program the day before tests in government, Mrs. Fox said. For the younger students, and actually for any high school student with parent permission, Mrs. Fox and guidance counsellor Joyce GoodEwing have started an “incentive program.” Budget Continued from page A-1 assessment process started in the current budget. On the other hand, the budget for the electoral board is down $3,100, and the budget for the county administrator’s office is down $9,600 because no part-time help is included in the budget. The Commissioner of Revenue’s budget is down $1,100, and the treasurer’s budget is down $167. Actually the budget appears to show that all constitutional officers and their assistants will receive a lower salary next year than they have been receiving this year. In fact the current budget included money for a cost of living raise that was expected this past January. When the state’s budget ran into trouble the raises were eliminated, and these salaries will be the same I next year as they are this year. Also, the budget seems to indicate that less is being earmarked for the retirement system for county employees and less is budgeted for health insurance. In fact, the current budget miscalculated the amounts that would be needed for those funds. The health insurance premium actually will be increasing from $1,754 per covered employee to $2,004, but $2,117 was included in the current budget. The amount for judicial administration is nearly $9,000 lower in the proposed budget. Included in that is a reduction of $4,000 for the Circuit Court clerk’s office, and $3,900 for the Commonwealth’s attorney’s office. The budget for public safety is $90,000 lower in the proposed budget. This is chiefly because $105,000 was included in the current budget for the jail addition. The Sheriffs Office budget is down $21,000, but the Fire and ResJ cue Association is asking for an additional $8,700 from the county. The jail budget is down $73,000 because no funds are included for the addition, but an additional $41,000 is being requested for salaries for deputies and assistants. The budget for public works shows a $62,000 increase. Two large ticket items account for most of this difference. The current budget included $100,000 to purchase the town hall, but the new budget includes a $160,000 increase in the line item for improvement to sites at the county landfill. The budget for debt service is down nearly $4,800 because as money is repaid on loans to build the schools the interest on the remaining debt is lower. On the revenue side most local taxes are expected to bring in more money. Funds from the state are expected to decrease by $133,000, and funds from the federal government are budgeted at $17,000 less for next year. m SHADWELL, patterned Jefferson's first home. 5.25 acres, woods, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, garage, Turnkey price, $249,500...

They each receive a large red assignment book. In it they keep track of their assignments in each subject. Mrs. Fox explained that the students earn points when their teachers initial the assignment books indicating that they have completed all their assignments for the week. They receive extra points if a teacher includes comments praising the work of the student. Each grading period the students receive more points for their grades, four for an A, three for a B, and so on. If the grade is up one letter grade from the previous report period, they receive an additional two points, and if it is up two letter grades, they receive an additional five points. Students in remedial classes don’t receive any grades for their work, but their teachers can award them points. There is also a reading program with the students receiving points for reading books. Mrs. Fox reported that 50 students are participating in the incentive program. Some have already received gift certificates for McDonalds. At the end of the year there will be more substantial prizes for the three students with the most points. However, Mrs. Fox says, “The best prize is good grades. I don’t think there is any student at the high school who doesn’t get satisfaction from improving his grades.” Another program to help dropouts is the “alternative education” offered at Piedmont Vocational School. Students who are 18 or older and whose classmates have graduated attend Piedmont all day. TTiey study to pass the General Equivalence Diploma (GED) half of the day and take vocational courses the other half of the day. Mrs. Fox said two students have completed their education that way this year. Once they have passed the GED they are considered graduates. A related program is being offered through a “drug free schools” grant from the federal government. The county schools received $6,000 from this grant program in the current year and have budgeted $8,800 for the coming year. The money has been used to hire a counselor through the community mental health service, who has set up “stress management” groups of high school students. The groups meet once a week and alternate times for their meetings so they won’t be missing the same class each week. Students with similar problems that might lead to drug use or to dropping out are grouped together. Mrs. Fox said she was initially doubtful that the groups would do much good, but “they are benefitting a lot of kids.” She said that she and Ms. Good-Ewing are getting feedback from the parents that the groups are working. “They are learning how to handle, their problems without taking it out on teachers, the school or their friends,” she said. “They feel better about themselves when they learri they aren’t alone with these problems and that they can cope.” She said that if the grants continue “we can keep these groups perpetuating themselves. ” ", She said most of the teachers cooperate in letting the students out of class to meet in their groups. “If the teacher says there is a test that day,*' then the kid goes to class,” she] added. Sometimes the student is in; class part of the period and meets with the stress group for the rest of the period. “The drug-free schools and the dropout prevention go hand in hand,” Mrs. Fox said. “Often the same kids fall into both categories.” However, she added that in some ways Rappahannock is unique. “For many of our kids dropping out is a family tradition,” she said. Much of what Mrs. Fox does is not necessarily a part of any of these programs. “A lot of what I do is what a lot of parents should be doing,” she saijd. She concentrates on students considered “at risk” of dropping out. “I ask them, ‘Have you done your homework?’ or ‘Have you studied for the test?’ I do an awful lot of nagging around the building,” she added. This year she said four or five students have dropped out.

Bellydancer explores 'extension of worship' By TONI WHITE Rappahannock Neva Contributinf Writer Anthea Poole (“Kawakib”) is a performer, teacher, and choreographer of' Middle Eastern Dance who demonstrates in her work that the origins of Bellydance are ancient and sacred. Kawakib says, “My concept of the dance is a natural extension of the urge for worship: in both teaching and performing, my approach focuses on the healing and balancing energy of the dance and its ability to reflect the spiritual values of truth, beauty, and goodness.” All dance originated in religious ritual and in some religions it still plays an important part (for example, Sufi dancing). The rare and magical Egyptian “dance of the people” (what we call “bellydance”) originated in rituals that honored the Creator as female. In ancient Egypt, many women attended sacred festivals and danced in worship of Hathor and Bastet, goddesses who were invoked for their life-giving powers. in bellydance, connections with the Mother Earth are consecrated as beautiful and sacred. Body and spirit are one; life on earth, a sacred celebration. With beauty, grace, and an ability to entrance audiences, Ms. Poole re-births ancient movements and gestures into the modem world, combining authenticity with contemporary appeal. She has developed a personal style that includes a wide range of expression. She can be hypnotic, lyrical, solemnly priestess-like, folksy, impishly humorous and charming... all in the same dance! Intimately connected to the spiraling melodies and magical rhythms of the Middle Eastern music to which she moves, Ms. Poole performs improvisation as well as self-created choreography and traditional dances. As reviewers of the Washington Area Mid-East Dance Association have said, she is “a joy to watch.” A student of the dance for over 10 years, a teacher since 1986, Ms. Poole conducts ongoing classes for the Albemarle Community Education Department in Charlottesville. She is also co-artistic director of the Topkapi Dancers, a folkloric troupe based in Fairfax. Her talents also flow into the creation of delightful and inventive costumes. All of her costumes are handmade. Influenced by tradition, her costumes also reflect her originality of vision and clever resourcefulness in the use of materials at hand. Some in Rappahannock County will remember Kawakib dancing in Sperryville at craft festivals or at the foot of the mountain on the day of the Harmonic Convergence (August 16, 1987.) That day she danced a special dance, the Zar, Anthea Poole In bellydance, connections with the Mother Earth are consecrated as beautiful and sacred. Body andspirit are one; life on earth, a sacred celebration. designed to exorcise any of our dis-harmony with its swirling flow of movement. Anthea has appeared in a variety of contexts - from Greek restaurants and Middle Eastern nightclubs to spirit arts celebrations, RAAC talent shows, birthday parties, and multi-cultural dance concerts. Anthea will perform and speak about “The Roots of Dance” at the Town Hall in Washington, Va. at 7 p.m. May 17 as part of the Middle Street Gallery’s “Celebration of the Spirit,” one of the gallery’s “Spirituality and Art” exhibitions and events planned for May 1991. She will also be teaching “Introduction to Oriental Dance” at the Middle Street Gallery, 7 p.m. Wednesdays during the month of May. Along with teaching the movements of the dance, Ms. Poole will explore the dance’s place in women’s heritage. For more information you can reach Ms. Poole at 703-923-4030. (Editor’s note: Toni White is a Flint Hill writer and a student of Ms. Poole's.) Sporting art sale will aid the Fauquier SPCA By HILARY SCHEER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Cats, dogs, kittens and puppies promise to steal the show as the Fifth Street Sporting Gallery at 19 North Fifth St. in Old Town Warren ton hosts a special art exhibit that runs until May 4 to benefit the Fauquier County SPCA. The exhibition includes a wide array of prints, bronzes, watercolors and paintings of dogs, cats and other animals at a large range of prices. Twenty percent of all sales will be donated to the Fauquier SPCA “Humane Education” program. (The 20 percent is tax deductible.) A private preview reception will be held from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. April 20 at the gallery. “Animals have always been important to my family. We always have surrounded ourselves by animals to the extent it has carried into our business,” said Patrick Dubenitz of the Fifth Street Gallery. “The SPCA is a charity that is near and dear to our hearts and it is a natural way to give as a business.” The Fifth Street Gallery has had a long-standing relationship with the SPCA, as it sponsored a show in 1986 to raise money for the new shelter built in Casanova. The SPCA believes in education as the key to solving pet overpopulation problem and furthering humane treatment of all living creatures. “Education is a way to solve the problem in the long run. I believe educating young children is beneficial since they are the next generation,” said Pia Parker, head of the educational programs at the shelter. The shelter, located in Casanova, offers a variety of educational talks and vi deos that are targeted to the specific age and interest of the participants. Tours of the shelter are available and people are encouraged to participate in hands-on time with the animals. Ms. Parker said the volunteers work with students beginning with kindergartners. “We teach humane treatment and education. We talk about spaying and neutering, and the ways of preventing animal deaths,” she said. Though humane education is expensive, “We are trying to get humane education established so we can extend the services.” For more information on the art show, call 703-347-9388.

Arts groups get together informally to share ideas By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The first bi-monthly get-together of arts and community organizations was held Saturday April 20 at the Woodsmoke Cafe and resulted in some interesting exchanges. The gathering was sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). Representatives from RAAC, the Middle Street Gallery, Ki Theater, the Last Minute Wood Company, The Sunday Dreamers, the Rappahannock National Bank, the Garden Club, the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, the local chapter of Literacy Volunteers of America, the Lions Club, the county library, the Theatre at Washington, Va., and, indirectly, the Historical Society, attended.

Laurie Marshall of the Middle Street Gallery and the Sunday Dreamers offered to help Barbara Dennis of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League bring programs to the schools.

Inn gets new wine collection at auction By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Inn at Little Washington is known for its service, its food and its guest rooms. Now it will also be known for its wine list. In early March, Reinhardt Lynch and Patrick O’Connell purchased the entire wine cellar of Le Pavillion in Washington D.C. “This was once in a lifetime opportunity,” owner Reinhardt Lynch said of the purchase, bought by silent auction over the telephone. ‘This is a great opportunity for us,” he said. “We are known for our rooms, our food and our service. This will enhance the whole experience here.” Le Pavillion was a Washington D.C. based restaurant — now bankrupt — and well-known for many things. Its wine list was named one of the finest in the United States by “Wine Spectator,” a wine taster’s magazine. The auction and sale of Le Pavillion’s wares — including their wine list — was first noted in this publication. “It made national news in this way,” Mr. Lynch said, adding it is very unusual for a restaurant of this caliber and a wine cellar of this style to be sold at auction. Buying this cellar was “like buying 10 years of a man’s work,” Mr. Lynch said. And, although the cellar now belongs to The Inn at Little Washing ton, the arrival of the wine is still in the process. Some of the wine will be stored elsewhere as it is not ready to drink. All of the wine is presently in the hands of the wine distributor in Charlottesville. “It takes years to create a cellar like this,” Mr. Lynch said, adding there are only one or two others operational cellars that could compete with the past cellar of Le Pavillion — now, the cellars of the Inn at Little Washington. “It’s over 6,300 bottles of wine,” the owner said with a smile. “This is all very unusual.” Le Pavillion was a French restaurant located in the Washington Square Building. The past operator and partowner, Yannick Cam, a French native, “changed the image of French cooking. If someone should write a book about French cooking in the D.C. area, this man would be in it,” Mr. Lynch explained. Many things attributed to the fall of Cam’s establishment. Once his operation went to the auction block, restauranteurs from various locations showed to bid on Le Pavillion’s wares. “It took a whole day just to auction the furniture and fixtures,” Mr. Lynch said, adding everything from the kitchen stove to the ice buckets was sold. “There was a seperate auction for the wine.” “It had drawn attention from various places,” Mr. Lynch said, add mg he bidded against people from New York, California and the Midwest. “Bidding was accomplished over the phone,” to keep the bidders anonymous, he said. “This collection of wine was not meant to be divided,” Mr. Lynch said of the wine. “Several of the bidders wanted only portions of the wine,” he said. “We were willing to take it all,” he said, adding once the purchase was made known, the original owners, Yannick and Janet Cam, wrote a note “thanking us and telling us they were glad the wine had a wonderful home,” Mr. Lynch said. “The interest in the furniture and fixtures was local,” Mr. Lynch said, adding, “the interest in the wine was national.” “Mr. Cam was a collector of wine,” Mr. Lynch explained. “He would buy for the restaurant but it was his personal choice. He was familiar with many regions of France and with this knowledge he was able to be familiar with the vineyards, the weather, the wine maker and the shipping,” Mr. Lynch said. He explained Mr. Cam’s ability to buy directly from France — or direct import — often prevented the wine from sitting unattended in a warehouse for extended periods of time or from being moved from one atmosphere to another. ‘Temperature for wine is very important,” Mr. Lynch said. “Little movement and steady temperature are critical for wine aging. You can destroy the aging process,” he said, adding wine must be kept at a steady 55 degrees, in complete darkness, in 60 to 70 percent humidity. To protect his wine, Mr. Cam created a wine cellar — refrigerated and controlled — below the restaurant. “It was about the size of two or three parking spaces,” Mr. Lynch said, adding the cellar was located in the parking garage under the building and was “like a hive of bottles,” the rows of bottles were narrow, climbing to the ceiling, stacked one upon the other in complete darkness. Not all the wine was in this cellar. “Some of the wine was in what you would call an aging cellar,” Mr. Lynch said, the rest of the wine was in the “working cellar. The breadth — or scope — of this list is one of a kind. Of some kinds there may be 20 of others just two or three,” he said. The wine — heavy in burgundy wine — was unboxed. “We had to box and catalogue all the wine,” Mr. Lynch said. With the help of his wine stewards — Tom Ratcliff, Mike Fritz and Joel Battige-Lynch boxed 500 boxes of wine. “We had to borrow the boxes from a local winery,” he said with a smile. It took three trucks to move the wine to Charlottesville. Before each bottle was slipped into the box for transportation to the distribution office in Charlottesville, it was catalogued. “I call it my Dewey Decimal system for wine,” Mr. Lynch said, explaining each bottle was given a four-digit number — the first two represent the region from which the wine comes, the second two the producer. “It’s a gamble,” he said of the wine purchase. “The value will increase a little bit — no one really knows how much.” RAYMOND B KNEPP.

Yard sales are one of fhe most popular pastimes of our society because they appeal to our human frailty to accumulate more and more possessions. The strange thing about them is that we often end up buying things simply because “it was too good a bargain to pass up." The fact that we have little need for the treasured object escapes us completely. Are we acquiring these trinkets and white elephants that clutter up our homes and lives because we are really seeking for more meaning in our life? In collecting objects of dubious value, are we overlooking gifts of much greater value? II life is really fo be worth living, we need more than the cast-offs and rejects of others. We need to seek the values that will bring us closer to God. These values cannot be found in yard sales, but rather in God's teachings. These values can best be discovered in our churches and synagogues Best of all, God's values are a real bargain. They | are free to anyone who seeks them.

Great American Food Fight aids battle vs. cancer ny HfcL.fc.IN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent One of the educational programs conducted by the American Cancer Society is the Great American F ood Fight Against Cancer. This is a program for elementary school students that lets them taste many types of fruits and teaches them why fruits and vegetables - especially the ones high in fiber and vitamins A and C - are “protectors,” because they help protect the body from certain types of cancer and other serious diseases. Even though I’ve been teaching nutrition programs for 15 years, I never thought I’d be advocating a “food fight” in the schools! Yet, when the newly organized Rappahannock County chapter of the Cancer Society asked me if I would be the contact with the schools, I learned that the “food fight against cancer” was not the typical food fight we envision in the school cafeteria and the movies. It is a very sound program that teaches children about good nutrition and health habits to prevent the risk of cancer. So, I would like to share the main points of the program with you in my column this week. Planning meals to reduce your cancer risk Many people believe there is' nothing they can do to prevent cancer. This is not true. In fact, with some simple changes in the foods you eat, you can reduce your risk of getting certain cancers, like breast, colon, and stomach. The American Cancer Society has developed a set of nutrition guidelines to help make food choices that may reduce your chances of getting cancer. The nutrition guidelines are: 1. Cut down on total fat intake. 2. Eat more high-fiber foods. 3. Include foods rich in vitamins A and C. 4. Include cruciferious (cabbagefamily) vegetables. HOME ECONOMICS 5. Limit alcoholic beverages, if you drink at all. 6. Limit consumption of saltcured, smoked, and nitrite-cured foods. 7. Avoid obesity. What to increase?

People who consume relatively large amounts of food rich in this nutrient have reduced risk of cancers of the lung, bladder, and larynx. Good sources of vitamin A are found among fruits and vegetables that are deep yellow, orange, dark green or red. They include carrots, collard greens, spinach, broccoli, kale, winter squash, sweet potatoes, asparagus, apricots, peaches, dates, prunes, watermelon, and tomatoes. Vitamin C: Vitamin C reduces the risks of some cancers, particularly cancer of the stomach and esophagus. Vitamin C is plentiful in citrus fruit, dark green vegetables like collard greens and broccoli, and red fruits like strawberries and watermelon. Other good sources include peppers, pineapple, cantaloups, honeydew melon, cabbage, and kiwi. Cabbage family vegetables: Vegetables from the cabbage family - which are called cruciferous vegetables - also may reduce the risk of cancer. They are good sources of fiber and some vitamins and minerals as well. The cruciferous vegetables are bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, rutabagas, turnips, and their greens. When cooking these vegetables, use the following suggestions to cut back on fat that is often added to vegetables in the cabbage family: ' • Make coleslaw with non-fat yogurt dressing, reduced-calorie mayonnaise, a little sugar, and dillweed; or with a viniagrette-type dressing. • Cook greens without fatback or bacon. Instead, use a ham hock with the fat trimmed off, or crushed red pepper, garlic, and olive oil. • After steaming greens, sprinkle with lemon juice or vinegar. • Stir-fry bok choy or cabbage with lean meat, poultry, or fish. The following recipes use foods from the cabbage family: Stir-fried cabbage 3 slices bacon, chopped 1 small head cabbage, shredded 1 large green pepper, sliced 1 large onion, sliced 1 large tomato, peeled and chopped 3 stalks celery, cut diagonally into thin slices Fry bacon in a wok or large skillet until crisp; remove bacon, reserv ing drippings in wok. Set bacon aside. Add vegetables to wok; stirfry over high heat (350 degrees) for 8 to 10 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon. Yield: 6 servings.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add 1 to 11/2 cups salad dressing; toss well. (Reserve remaining salad dressing for other uses.) Cover and chill. Yield: 10 servings. A sweet vinegar dressing adds zest, but no fat to this crsps coleslaw. The vegetables add lots of color and provide good amounts of vitamins A and C. Coleslaw 1/2 medium head cabbage (about 1 pound) 1 carrot, shredded 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. water 1/8 to 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 red or green bell pepper, chopped 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, including tops 1/2 tsp. each celery seeds and mustard seeds Finely shred cabbage. Add celery, pepper, onions, celery seeds, and mustard seeds. Mix well. In a small pan over high heat, combine sugar, water, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes; let cool to room temperature. Add vinegar mixture to vegetables and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. To serve, lift salad from liquid with a slotted spoon. Yield: 5 to 6 servings. Marinated brussels sprouts 1 (10-ounce) package frozen baby brussels sprouts 1/2 cup commercial reduced-calorie Italian dressing 2 tablespoons diced onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1/2 teaspoon dried whole dillweed Cook brussels sprouts according to package directions, omitting salt.

DAR members hear 'Illiteracy' talk By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on Tuesday, April 9 at Culpeper United Methodist Church in Culpeper with Mrs. Walter A. Clark and Mrs. Joseph B. Fray as hostesses. The Regent, Mrs. Thomas East ham, opened the meeting, welcomed members and called upon Mrs. Alma G. Jones, Literacy Challenge Chairman, to introduce the speaker, Mrs. H.O. Browning. She is the Assistant Director of the Culpeper Literacy Council and teaches in the city’s elementary schools. Her subject was “Illiteracy: Its Problems and Solutions,” and she opened with a tape which Mrs. Jean Babies helped to put together on ilUteracy in Virginia where, it is estimated, there are 670,000 functional illiterates. A “functional” illiterate is a person who can read some but not enough to function well in society. Virginia is currently one of the leading states in confronting illiteracy, mainly because of the cooperation of both public and private sectors. The private sector is called the Virginia Literacy Foundation and in the past three years has increased from 34 groups to 82. Publicly, moeny supplied by the state government in the past three years has increased from $20,000 to $2,100,000. The President General’s Message was read by Mrs. Randolph Dixon in which Mrs. Yochim stressed how the DAR is a service organization in fields of medicine, education, helping American Indians and immigrants, in conservation, literacy and manyhther service areas. Heart Association's campaign was success Eino Siira of Sperryville, president of the local unit of the American Heart Association, recently expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the success of the Healthy Heart campaign. “We are very pleased with the outstanding success of our current campaign. It’s quite apparent that our neighbors in Rappahannock County still put a high priority on helping our Healthy Heart program. We have achieved our fund-raising goal again. In fact, our goal has been exceeded by several hundred dollars,” he said. “We are very grateful to the superb team of door-to-door volunteers, to the members of the board of directors who have supported AHA so well and especially thankful for the generosity of our local friends and loyal neighbors. Rappahannock County, once again, has shown its good heart,” said Mr. Siira.
