48th Year, No. 10 10 Pages Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 , 50 Cents WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1996 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan This illegal dump at Foot of the Mountain Run in Chester Gap is scheduled to be cleaned up May 4 and 11. Chester Gap Cleanup Scheduled By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Near the end of Route 660 in Chester Gap there has been a dump, brimming with castaways of all types, for as long as anyone can remember. This area, called “Foot of the Mountain Run,” is one of the headwaters of the Rappahannock River. Beautiful waterfalls are surrounded by many years’ worth of garbage and. trash, thrown down the ravine by uncaring individuals. The area could be a pristine scene with a magnificent view, instead of an eyesore. Due to the efforts of Hunt Harris of the Ragged Mountain Resource Center, a massive clean-up of the area has been organized for May 4 and 11 to return it to its original unspoiled beauty. Fixing the eyesore is not the only intent of the cleanup; because it is one of the headwaters of the Rappahannock River, which eventually flows into the Chesapeake Bay, many people downstream of this county are also ready to help. “If the water here is not protected then it will not be good for the economic development in Fredericksburg and other regions along the Rappahannock River,” said Mr. Harris. John P. Tippett, Executive Director of the Friends of the Rappahannock group based in Fredericksburg, hopes to send a contingent of 20 to 25 members to help. He said, “One of the exciting things is that it is a kickoff event for our efforts to protect this watershed. By working together we hope to begin the process of managing the watershed as a wholeinstead of just dealing with problems in our own backyard.” Mr. Harris is coordinating the cleanup. The major part of the clean‘Water and resources are very important to an agricultural community.’ — Hunt Harris up will happen on May 4, weather permitting. May 11 serves as a rain date or as a second day if needed. He has support and help coming from the county Board of Supervisors, the Sheriff’s Office, The Friends of the Rappahannock, PEC, RLEP, RAWL and many friends and concerned citizens. Mike Brown of B&B Service Center has offered his help with a truck with a winch. Mr. Harris also hopes to have assistance from others with trucks with winches. All kinds of help is needed from the citizens of Rappahannock County on these cleanup days. Volunteers are needed to give out food, water and fust aid. There is plenty of small trash to be picked up and bagged topi The area is mostly a steep ravine which is filled with all manner of junk, large and small. An inventory taken last Friday afternoon included tires, refrigerators, stoves,. water heaters, kerosene heaters, stovepipe, drywall buckets, mattresses, quart size oil containers, bed springs, bricks, a lawn chair, a bathtub, bottles, cans, rusty 55-gallon drums, electronic equipment, a pallet, and even a boot. The area has been known to be a popular spot for doing oil changes on cars, and that is evident. The property is owned by Bill Henkle, who owns Henkle Harris Furniture in Winchester and is partowner of the Shenandoah Golf Course. According to Sheriff Gary Settle, who is a friend of Mr. Henkle’s, he has owned the property for six to seven years and is very happy about the clean-up. County Administrator John McCarthy said the county will pay for the disposal of all the material cleaned up and will have it transported to the landfill. A front end loader and dump truck and trash bags will be provided, and a contractor will be on site, he said. Mr. McCarthy said that Board of Supervisors Chairman Hubert Gilkey has also been working to coordinate the effort, making sure liability coverage is available for the workdays. Mr. Gilkey plans to help do the actual clean-up too. “Water and resources are very important to an agricultural community,” said Mr. Harris, who is deeply committed to this project and to the community as-a whole. “This is the beginning of an effort in the county to keep an eye on potential problems,” he said.' He sees this first community effort to clean up a part of the county as a good start which will set an example for future projects. One could be the clean up of the Rappahannock County Park which was devastated by last year’s flood in June. There is plenty of deadfall from trees which could be cut up and distributed to people for firewood, he said. If anyone knows of an area which needs work, they should call Mr. Harris at the Ragged Mountain Resource Center! For the cleanup, Mr. Harris recommends that workers wear long Rants, good boots and heavy gloves. “You cannot be too safe,” said Mr. Tippett. It’s probably not a good place for small children either. For more information or to sign up to help, call Hunt Harris at the Ragged Mountain Resource Center at 6751879 or John McCarthy at the County Administrator’s Office at 675-3342. Supervisors Vote Against Bypass New Snow Emergency Plan Wins VDOT Nod By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution opposing continued VDOT study of a Sperryville bypass. It was similar but not identical to one adopted by the Planning Commission. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes suggested the amendment saying the Board of Supervisors “requests consideration be delayed for a connector, bypass or any such project for Sperryville to some future time as determined by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors.” He said, “I would personally be in favor of a bypass but not as VDOT presented it and not in connection with a subdivision.” Mr. Estes said 75 percent of his constituents opposed the bypass and “therefore I must vote in opposition. When somebody’s child or an elderly person is mauled by a truck in Sperryville I don’t want to be involved.” “You’re trying to close the door but not lock it,” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said. Several people had spoken for the resolution during the public comment portion of Monday’s meeting. The amended resolution passed unanimously. County Administrator John McCarthy reported that the communications bill adopted by Congress recently will restrict but not eliminate county control over cellular phone towers. The county cannot ban such towers, Mr. McCarthy said, but can try to regulate where they are located. He also reported that some of the bills introduced in the General Assembly that concern the county are doing well from the county’s point of view. Sludge is dead for this year. The bill to allow the county to continue using paper ballots awaits the governor’s signature. The assembly is taking a less restrictive approach to applying the provisions of the Chesapeake Bay Act to counties west of Interstate 95. There are several concerns the county still has about what the eventual state budget will be, but Mr. McCarthy said not much will be known about how the county will fare until the end of the week. “It is all in how the pot is being stirred,” he said. The board approved a suggestion by Hampton District representative Mike Massie that the-county thank Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, for his help during this session. See Snow, Page 2 Speakers Oppose Dumpster Closing By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Board of Supervisors listened to several people complain about the decision to close the dumpsters but took no additional action other than to say at next month’s meeting they will consider having more recycling centers. Jack Dwyer led off the opponents to closing the dumpsters by saying the supervisors had a mandate to do what the citizens want. He said petitions placed in the country stores opposing the dumpster closing had garnered the signatures of over one-third of the voters. “The board is looking for ways to raise taxes without calling it a tax,” he said of the proposal to have people contract y'ith private haulers to take their trash to the landfill. He said closing the dumpsters Would lead to illegal dumping. “We’re not going to change people’s habits by legislative fiat,” he said. He said the proposal discriminates against smaller landowners who cannot have dumps on their land and poorer people who take used goods from the dumpster sites. He said if people just start dumping along the road sides the supervisors can not count on VDOT to clean up because the state requires the county to provide for trash. “Private dumps in dozens of locations and trash on all the roads is going See Dumpster, Page 2 Old Rag I Bulletins I Assembly Hotline The General Assembly of Virginia is providing a toll-free Constituent Viewpoint hot- > line.

According to Deputy Ronnie Dodson of the Sheriffs Office, the students, all boys, are being charged with possession of marijuana. Their ages are 14, 15, 15, 16 and 17. One of the 15 year-olds was also charged with distribution or possession with intent to sell, give or distribute marijuana while on school property, which is a felony. The possession charge is a misdemeanor, according to both Deputy Dodson and Major Rick Mac Welch. Three of the five boys were also charged with possession of tobacco products on school property. A letter from Principal Jack Raines about the incident was sent home with RCHS students on Monday. In part, it said, “On Friday, March 1, 1996 I caught 5 students smoking marijuana behind the high school gymnasium. After calling the parents, the sheriffs office was called to deal with the problem. After a lonjg process, the students were charged with possession of narcotics in a Drug Free Zone which could be a felony...I am giving you this information to let you know that we are aware of these matters and are trying our best to provide a drug free and safe environment for your children...To hear the Miranda Rights being read to 5 students in my school was an unpleasant experience.” Principal Raines said that the students have all been suspended pending school board action. Sheriff Gary Settle said that bad checks bearing the See Checks, Page 2 Fifth Graders Learn History Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Dorothy Butler tells Fifth graders about Black History. Dorothy Butler, a retired third grade teacher and former School Board member, returned to Rappahannock County Elementary School last Tuesday to talk to the fifth grade classes about Black History. She brought a series of prints illustrating Black History from slave auctions to the successes of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. She showed the prints to the four sections of fifth grade gathered in Margaret Lee’s classroom and talked with them about how they would feel if they were in the situations illustrated. She also had a crossword puzzle for them to work on about the contributions of black ministers and a timeline of dates and events in Black History. Mrs. Butler said Black History Month grew out of Negro History Week, which for many black youngsters was the first time they ever saw in their school books “anybody that looks like me.” The fifth grade classes got to feast on a beautiful sheet cake made by Charde Ferguson’s mom showing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. making his “I Have a Dream” speach.

Eli Sunrise Morse, defective ► Dumpster From Page 1 to be an envirpamental disaster,” he said. John Ralph said he is aware of what goes on at the Huntly dumpster site. He said there is no visible sign saying the dumpster is only for county trash. He said, “Better than half the trash comes in from but Of county.” He said he had watched at the landfill and seen five vehicles with Culpeper County stickers come in and leave trash. He suggested the county move the Huntly dumpster south of its existing location and fence and man it and the one at Scrabble. “I agree we’re paying taxes for a service, and if the service is taken away that is double taxation,” he said. Mary Kay Edmonds said the county needs to do something about the signs and fines for people dumping from out of county. She suggested getting surveillance cameras to record the illegal dumping. Werner Krebser said, “I understand where you are coming from. There are many ways to look at collection of refuse. He said making people drive to the landfill at Amissville would cost then $240 per year. He said 'the supervisors should appoint a committee to “come up with some solution that will satisfy most of the people in Rappahannock County.” Wayne Blosser said he was overwhelmed with the response to the petitions that had gathered 1,597 signatures “in less than three weeks.” Henry Gorfein said when he moved to the county everybody had a bum barrel that could hold four weeks worth of trash. He said the county should start a program to educate people about recycling, composting and reducing the volume of trash. “You could financially operate the dumpsters without having to close them,” he said. Newbill Miller Was the only person to speak in favor of the decision to close the dumpsters. “I don’t want to address what could be or what should be but what is. The unmanned dumpster sites are a liability.” He said if someone put a toxic substance in the dumpsters it could cost the county millions., He said rainwater and water from dousing fires at the dumpster at Huntly leaches into Indian Run. “I don’t think you have a choice....You made the right decision. Stick to it.” Garland Sealock asked if it would not be a greater risk to close the dumpsters and have people put the toxic substance along the highways. Mr. Dwyer asked, “What are the liability claims so far?” He said there would also be leakage from private dumps. Arland Welch said she would like to see the dumpster left open and manned. “Even with the dumpsters open 1 have trash thrown on me.” Phil Irwin said he remembers before the dumpsters were put in when trash was along most of the county roads. “I would hate to see the county revert to that situation,” he said. “Don’t close them until we have the answer.” NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Town Council of the Town of Washington, Virginia will, on Wednesday, March 13, 1996 at 7:30 o’clockr.M., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, at the.

Roads to fire stations, schools, the Sheriff’s Office, Rappahannock Medical Center and power substations will be plowed once primary routes are cleared. VDOT will also plow out routes across the county from Route 729 to 618 to 626 and from 626 to 622 to 211. He said a map will be printed showing those areas to be cleared and where equipment is located with a more detailed follow up “in time for the next snow season.” He said it will also be necessary to provide a “crew rest facility,” and the high school had agreed to put up road crews and provide, them with hot showers and food. He said the county should purchase 30 cots with mattress pads and 60 blankets which could be stored at the Sperryville or Flint Hill fire halls. The board approved paying operating costs of the fire departments approved by the Fire and Rescue Advisory Board. They also approved contracts for leachate hauling and gravel for the landfill. They approved Mr. McCarthy’s suggestion that he develop a request for proposals for operating the landfill after July 1. Mr.. McCarthy said he and Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins will bring suggestions on how large homes could be assessed for more in the next general assessment. He said several counties to the east have a way to assess very large homes, those in excess of 5,000 square feet, differently from the usual square foot assessment. Jackson District representative Ron Frazier said, “We’re being hit hard by the composite index. We should make some of the houses that are causing this problem pay-up.” Board members appointed Bill Terrell to the Fire and Rescue Advisory Board and Aaron Roberts to the Social Services Board. During the evening session the board approved a special exception for a subdivision on Battle Mountain. The conditiona attached were similar to ones imposed by the Planning Commission, but only for the two larger lots will the planners have to approve new house locations. They also approved amendments to the subdivision ordinance requiring hydrological testing for water supplies in certain subdivisions.’ NOTICE 1996 Rappahannock County motor vehicle decals are now on sale and must be displayed by April 15,1996.

Woodward, with a Remington address, are still being passed in local businesses. The checks are drawn on a Central Fidelity Bank office in Culpeper. Deputies from the Sheriffs Office have been in the process of taking a photo line-up' td stores around the area to identify the man writing the bad checks. Darryl Breeding of Sperryville reported last Sunday that a .22 Ruger handgun of his was missing from the old mill, which is next to his house, on U.S. 211 in Sperryville. He last saw the gun on Feb. 25. Another coffeewood tree, a wood which is prized by the Japanese for special chests, was reported cut down and missing from property owned by Alan Simpson on Route 707. The case is still under investigation, according to Sheriff Settle. Deputies from the Sheriffs Office have been spending time manning the dumpster sites, and this has resulted in less illegal dumping in the county. Saturday and Sunday were busy days at the dumpsters, said Sheriff Settle. Chris Johnsen of Castleton reported last Wednesday that a small satellite dish was missing from his yard. The theft is under investigation. On Feb. 26, a juvenile reported . his wallet missing. He had been playing basketball at a Baptist Church on Route 642- in Amissville and noticed his wallet missing from his other possessions which he had laid aside while playing ball. According to Sgt. Hawkins of the State Police, Hugues Christian Beaulieu, 29, of Washington, was charged with reckless driving last Wednesday. Mr. Beaulieu was driving a 1990 Acura 4-door 1.5 miles north of U.S. 211 Business when he ran Off the right side of the road and struck an embankment. The Acura receiyed $2,000 damage. Trooper M.C.

i School Funds Bottled in Budget Battle By TERRY SCANLON Cipttll New* Service RICHMOND — Rappahannock County taxpayers soon may be forced to spend more money on education or cut some school services. Gov. George Allen’s proposed budget for the next biennium showed a decrease in state funding for the county’s educational system because of the recalculated composite index. This means Rappahannock County taxpayers would have to make up the difference. “Either the county helps us out or we cut some educational programs, said David Gangel, superintendent of county schools. “There’s teally no other choice.” The issue at hand is whether the General Assembly will replace some of the funds lost since the last biennium. The two chambers are scheduled to hammer out a unified version of the budget .before the assembly adjourns Saturday, March 9, but as of press time the joint budget conference committee had yet to meet “We have been at a little disadvantage because the Senate has delayed meeting,” said Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, about the assembly’s budget negotiations that have been deadlocked for a week. He specifically was referring to having an opportunity to lobby conferees in both chambers for issues of concern in his district — especially Rappahannock’s public education funds. A House of Delegates amendment to the governor’s proposed budget would return all of the lost funds to the localities in areas hardest hit by the composite index recalculation. Along with Rappahannock, Galax and Richmond counties and the city of Norton would receive additional state funds. On the other hand, a Senate pro posal would return only 10 percent of the lost funds to all communities affected throughout the state. . The composite index dictates the amount of state funds each locality receives per pupil for its public schools. That index is based on the locality’s true value of real estate, adjusted gross income and sales tax — all of which determines the percentage of educational funds the state will supply to each locality. The remainder of the education bill must be footed by local taxpayers. Local officials say the method for determining the index may be fair to some or even most areas of the state, but in their eyes, not to Rappahannock. “Relatively, we’re considered wealthy,” Dr. Gangel said. “But the people don’t feel wealthy.” Officials at the Virginia Department of Education said they frequently review the system used to Spande's Versatility Shown By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Middle Street Gallery is presently showing an exhibition of nine etchings by Thomas Spande. These nine meditations, inspired by Piranesi’s Prison Caprices etched in Rome in the mid 1700’s, are powerful statements about some facets of two cities — Boston and New York. While there is a superficial resemblance, I don’t think it helps to compare or contrast Mr. Spande with Piranesi; for one thing, .the latter’s works are more fanciful and Kafka-like than Spande’s. I was first impressed with the ' great variety of scenes Mr. Spande was able to depict within a limited repertoire. In some of the etchings, the sense of depth and height — a . concern with perspective — is paramount. In'others, the perspective is - shallow and the bulk of the buildings is emphasized. _ As I examined the pictures closely, I had the sensation that my eyes .were making an adjustment as they do when one comes indoors from a bright day. The more I looked, the more light was reflected from the - surfaces among the black lines. Etching is a complicated techrtique; most important, the artist must draw his image in reverse, making a mirror image. Tom Spande created these etchings •not as copies of paintings but as original works of art although he seems to have some photographs as reminders. At first, the expressionist, deeply and widely dug lines on zinc plate and the darkness of most of the pictures seemed an obtrusive difference from other etchings I have seen, but when 1 discarded pre-conceived ideas, I enjoyed the immediacy of his technique,and marveled at his skill. The picture I enjoyed the most 'was “Fire Escapes” where the idea of stair steps is repeated with five water storage tanks, a familiar fea ture of New York roofs, here each* at a different level, and the mounting or descending heights of the buildings. No people appear in this picture, but there is a hidden face abstractly drawn. The light increases from bottom to top. nHBRi«iKxnKn These nine etchings together show Tom Spande’s versatility, his determination and his ambition as an artist. I think we learn much about how his artistic mind works and the possibilities of his artistic vision. In this show, he abandons color, nature and easy beauty. He invites us to pretend that we are looking at harsh urban realities and to see in'them subtleties we have not imagined.

In the meantime word of how the county will fare in the state’s final budget is held up by interesting power plays in the General Assembly. House Speaker Thomas W. Moss Jr., D-Norfolk, signed an agreement with the Republican co-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, John H. Chichester, R-Stafford, Sunday, but the Democratic co-chairman, Stanley S. Walker, D-Norfolk, has not agreed. At issue, apparently is the role of Sen. Virgil Goode, D-Franklin. Sen. Goode single-handedly forced the existing power-sharing agreement in the evenly split 20-20 Senate. Some legislators contend, that Sen. Chichester wants to reward Sen. Goode by placing him on the joint committee — something irritating to most Senate Democrats. House Democrats said Monday they don’t care who the Senate representatives are — Goode or no Goode. The joint committee’s first report is scheduled for Thursday, and its final report on the budget is due March 9, the day the legislature adjourns. Once the report is presented each chamber must adopt the budget before it is sent to the governor for his signature.

Performances will be at 8 p.m, on Friday and Saturday, with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Cheaper by the Dozen is based on the award-winning novel by Frank Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. It tells the remarkable and hilarious story of Frank Gilbreth, and efficiency expert who applies his eccentric theories to running a house hold of twelve children. Set in the 1920’s, the play also contains such colorful characters as Anne Gilbreth, Frank’s rebellious teenage daughter; Joe Scales, a wacky, undersized cheerleader; and Miss Brill, the stuffy schoolteacher who opposes Dad’s way-out educational schemes. The play his been performed successfully on Broadway and was also the basis for a memorable motion picture, which starred Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy. Cheaper by the Dozen is directed by Kathy Nelson, a Christendom alumna who has acted in several previous productions by the Players. She is assisted by Sofia F. Cudderback and Patrick Keats. The cast of the play includes Eric Kingsepp (Dad), Anne Golden (Anne), Imeldaf ranklin (Ernestine), and Danny Schneible (Frank). Tickets for Cheaper by the Dozen are $7 for adults, $5 for students, and $3 for children twelve and under. For more information or to reserve ticket's, call Christendom College at (540) 636-2900, ext. 132. 'Neighbors' Comes to Ki On Friday and Saturday evenings, March IS and 16, at Ki Theatre, a cast of your Rappahannock neighbors will present The Neighbors, a play by Zona Gale. The cast includes Joyce Abell, Vinnie Carney, Jean Falk, Becky Gallegos, Sean Kilpatrick, Kathleen Maier, Ellen Manson and Andrew Van Horn; it is directed by Peter Hombostel. Amelia Manson is stage manager. Zona Gale (1874-1938) was bom in Portage, Wisconsin. She wrote novels, plays and poems about midwestern rural life. The play was written by Miss Gale in 1914 for the Wisconsin Dramatic Society, one of the first community theatre groups in America. Mr. Hornbostel said he chose this play for his directing debut because “she called her characters ‘folks,’ and surrounded them with a spirit of good will and generosity that called to mind the ‘folks’ in Rappahannock. “Although it is an old play, it conveys the almost revolutionary message that people are basically good. You leave the theatre feeling hopeful about the human race. That may be a bit out of fashion these days, but that’s what this play is all about. “I wanted to do an old-fashioned play. I think people enjoy old-fashioned plays, particularly if its about themselves.” According to an introduction in the script “‘The Neighbors’ is one of Miss Gale’s pleasant, homespun comedies about people she knew all around her. The incidents in the play may seem commonplace, but the author has surrounded her characters with an irresistable atmosphere of contageous good will that affects everyone it touches.” The evening will begin with a repeat performance of “Onkel Theodor” an original monolog by Peter Hombostel. It is the story of an Austrian diplomat caught in the vice of World War II. “This is really a tribute to the human spirit,” says Mr. Hombostel. “Altogether I guess it’s a pretty optimistic evening of theatre.” Performances begin at 8 p.m. at Ki Theatre on Gay1 Street in Washington. Tickets are available at Mountainside Market in Sperryville and Cabin Fever Books in Washington and at the door. Prices are $6 for adults and $3 for those under 18. imSLMMlhVSFIWS Dims Florafax Wire Service Weddings, Parties, Balloons, Commercial Services Malar Credtt Cards Accepted Phone 540-675-3183 Fax 540-675-1732 Marshall Chiropractic offering convenient hours now offering evening hours by appointment Dr. Thomas Lee, Jr. B.S., D.C., Chiropractor W.

However, the board continues to meet in executive session to discuss, among other things, “the acquisition of real property for public purposes.” Presumably that is intended to be a discussion about acquiring property to be used as a central collection, point for trash and recyclables, but following each such secret meeting the ; board announces that no action was taken. , *. Most of those who spoke at Monday afternoon’s session sup• ported the idea of limiting use of the dumpsters to county citizens and manning and fencing the sites for that purpose and to keep such things as construction debris out, but they clearly fear closing the dumpster sites altogether will lead to greatly increased illegal dumping, and most opposed the inconvenience of having to take all trash to the landfill. One suggestion was to have dumpsters and recycling centers at each of the fire halls. The supervisors seemed to pick up on the recycling centers part of this but ignored the dumpsters. The more locations there are where people can take all their trash, the more likely they are to separate trash into what can be recycled and what can not. In a related story several people are working together to clean up an old illegal dump in Chester Gap. Even with a dumpster in Huntly several people in Chester Gap continue to throw trash in their own neighborhood. How many more such sites will crop up if the supervisors do not find a better solution than closing the dumpsters and forcing everyone to take their trash to the landfill or pay someone else to do so? School Census Beginning next week, school census takers will be out trying to visit every house in the county to Count every child who will be five by the end of this year but not yet 20. A great deal of money depends on getting every child counted. From 1 percent of the state sales tax the county receives more than $500 per school aged child per year to be used for public education. That money comes to the county whether the child is enrolled in public school, attends a private school or- is home schooled. The. state calculates the cost of providing public education in Rappahannock County according to the state’s Standards of Quality. Then it subtracts the amount the county will feceive from the sales tax before it calculates what school aid the county will receive from the state. The cost once the sales tax has been subtracted is split between the county taxpayers and the state according to the Local Composite Index, with the state paying 26 cents on the dollar and the county 74 cents. ‘ Parents unhappy with the public schools for whatever reason who believe they can hurt the schools by not having their children counted in the census are only hurting themselves as taxpay. ers. DO MOT ^oldTbendTspindle, or mutilate] ^ THE SCHOOL CENSUS TAKER . .< under my ekcawttencei! >( Keep Dumpsters To the Editor: At the monthly meeting of the Board of Supervisors held on 4 March, 1996, I requested that the Board reconsider its dumpster closing. Unfortunately, this meeting was held at 2 p.m. on a week day so that many people were prevented by their employment from attending. Of those who were able to attend, several spoke against this closing. Only Mr. Newbill Miller appeared to be in favor thereof. Mr. Miller’s long and outstanding service to the county entitles his views to great respect. However, the crux of this approval appeared to be that we should close same because of toxic wastes leaching out of the dumpsters and liability. Traditionally, raising the scare specter of liability, is a standard argument against anything. Mr. Miller cited no facts in support of this position. If we accept this theory, then we dismiss completely the thought of these wastes being dumped indiscriminately on our highways and bi-ways with attendant leaching. Does that mean that there would be no run-off from the highways or from private dumps. Mr. Miller raises the specter of the county’s liability. He didn’t say from what and obviously he cited no facts in support of this proposition. I submit we can speculate on all types of scenarios as reason to thwart the aspirations and desires of the citi-. zenry, or to cause great inconvenience Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Many braids decorate the mane of an outriders horse at the races Sunday. or distress. An obvious argument in Mr. Miller’s favor (if it existed) would be if the Environmental Protection Agency has discovered any violations. None was forthcoming. It is submitted that the board does not feel that that the majority of the citizens oppose the closing, despite receiving over 1,500 spontaneous written objections. The democratic way would be to have a referendum. I believe that any elected body is required to carry out the wishes of its electorate. In view of the above, can it be honestly said that the board is adhering to the popular mandate by closing the dumpsters. As a larger property owner, I feel that it would be unconscionable and ■ legally1 impermissible for me to secure a free ride on the backs of those small property owners who have to pay for trash disposal or be required to accept the hardship of having to go to the landfill. If there is some compelling reason to alter the present system of dumpsters (and I have heard none) let’s decide on some viable alternative acceptable to all of us and after adequate discussion. JACK DWYER Flint Hill Paper Should Cover Ethical Hunting To the Editor: As a natural history enthusiast, I made the mistake of tuning in to the Jan. 25 CBS TV special, “The World’s Most Dangerous Animals.” When CBS went to Ingrid Newkirk of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for comment near the end of this “nature documentary,” I realized I’d been had. . In the tradition begun with its infamous “Guns of Autumn” smear several years ago, CBS turned on the antihunting propaganda, ending the show by designating man the “World’s Most Dangerous Animal.” Naturally, Ingrid agreed, aided and abetted by graphic footage of “hunters” killing “game” in non fair chase situations obviously intended to elicit an emotional response from viewers (but situations in which true sportsmen would not participate). CBS has displayed its blatant antihunting bias for years, but this use of a PETA spokesman (and, conversely, the use of CBS by PETA) by a network already diminished and shamed by recent ethical lapses in its war on tobacco companies defies belief. It failed to point out that, in addition to hunting, Ms. Newkirk and PETA also oppose medical experimentation on animals, circus animal acts, fishing, eating meat, using animal parts for belts, shoes or other apparel, the dairy industry, Thanksgiving Turkeys and the poultry/egg industries, wearing furs, mouse traps and rat poison, horse drawn carriages, horse racing, dog racing, riding stables, fox hunts, and any other “exploitation” of animals by people. Instead, Ms. Newkirk was presented as if she were an expert whose ' opinions were rooted in scientific fact, rather than a zealot pursuing PETA’s radical agenda. In their ongoing battle to turn an increasingly urbanized society of nonhunters into non-tolerant anti-hunters, this animals first, people last bunch of fanatics routinely portrays the typical hunter as a sadistic, bloodthirsty slob who ignores game laws and private property rights, blasting away with automatic (assault) weapons at every animal seen, trampling and trashing the environment, endangering fellow citizens and pushing specie after specie into extinction. Fifty-five years old now, I started to hunt when I was in my teens, hunting deer for the first time in my midtwenties. I’ve hunted in Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia and Saskatchewan. Moving from Florida to Virginia in 1988, I have found that, in the Commonwealth, as in other states where I have hunted, there is a small percentage of hunters who fit portions of the PETA caricature. The vast majority do not. I kept a log of my days afield during the most recent Virginia muzzleloader and modem firearms seasons for deer (November 6, 1995 thru January 6, 1996). I used a Knight, 50 caliber in-line black powder (single shot) rifle and a Remington bolt action 30-.06.1 hunted only on private property where I had permission and only during legal hunting hours. I left no litter behind whenever I excited the woods. 1 hunted on 24 different dates, often remaining in tree stands from pre-dawn darkness until dusk. I sat in temperatures ranging from 10 degrees to the 50s, in fog, drizzle, rain, sleet and snow, marveling at nature’s wondrous variety of sunrises and sunsets. During those hunts, I observed 55 deer (including four bucks), 58 squirrels, 10 flocks of geese, four turkeys, three blue heron, two red and two gray foxes, two wood ducks, two red tailed hawks, one beaver, one weasel and one raccoon, in addition to smaller non-game animals and birds. Shooting my rifles only six times, I killed two bucks and three does. Given the numbers of animals seen, my season was not exactly the wanton bloodbath typically portrayed by PETA. I missed my first opportunity at a nice buck on the opening day of muzzleloader season when my shot was deflected, either by branches or brush. It was an embarrassing moment when the smoke cleared and the buck calmly looked around, more curious than frightened by the shot, before bounding, unharmed, into a thicket. My wife Debbie, my son Jason and I all love the taste of venison. Four of my deer went into the freezer and the fifth was given to a neighbor whose hunting was curtailed this year by a medical condition. Neither of my bucks (a spike and an 8-point) were “trophies” to me, but I would have had no qualms about having them mounted if they had been. I enjoy looking at my deer mounts and antlers, as well as pictures going back into the 60s, to recall previous hunts and remember the variety of emotions felt during those past outings. My taking of the does will help maintain a healthy, balanced population for the future in accordance with the recommendations of trained game biologists, not those of emotional zealots. My purchase of guns, licenses, and ammunition and equipment will aid wildlife through excise faxes specifically designated for that purpose. Hunters quietly assist state and federal wildlife officials in purchasing habitat and establishing reasonable limits and seasons consistent with the survival of various species. On the other hand, PETA’s efforts to “save” animals generally consist of outrageous publicity stunts, usually performed for invited media representatives. Chaining themselves to gates to disrupt scheduled public hunts, dressing as animals and chanting about animal exploitation when the circus comes to town, getting “celebrities” to pose naked rather than wear furs, raiding turkey farms before Thanksgiving, and similar acts are staged to optimize media coverage and to elicit subsequent donations from a gullible segment of the population, those whose experience with animals is limited to “companion” (pet) dogs, cats, birds or fish, National Geographic specials and cartoons. National networks, wire services, and even some local TV stations play into animal “rights” groups’ hands by assigning human names, intelligence and emotions to every animal in distress or observed outside of its natural element in “human interest” segments of the news. While one might expect this ignorant humanization of animals from the networks and urban newspapers, it is disturbing to see a corresponding decrease in reporting about the time honored hunting tradition by the rural press. Last year’s picture of “The Dancing Bear” and the negative response it elicited from some readers with an urban point of view may have led to a decision to be “politically correct,” but a large portion of your readership is comprised of hunters and hunting families and would appreciate seeing pictures and reading accounts of outstanding deer, young hunters’ first deer, the increase in female hunters, etc. during the season. Please don’t let the PETA fanatic? and readers whose experience with deer and bears begins and ends with “Bambi” and “Yogi” deter you from keeping the rest of us informed about the excellent hunting in Rappahannock County. Area general stores seem to be able to serve as check-in stations and run big buck contests while still serving their nonhunting customers as well. Ethical hunting is not a topic to be avoided, and if we act embarrassed about it and let is disappear from our rural media, it will appear to be a shameful pursuit rather than the wholesome, enjoyable way to put meat on the table that it is. TREVOR W. ROE Sperry ville Old Dominion Politics By JOHN GOOLRICK Governor George Allen was in New Hampshire endorsing Senator Robert Dole for the Republican nomination for President. Allen has been running for elective office practically all his adult life, and it is pretty clear he has ambitions beyond the expiration of his term as governor in January, 1998. The most likely course would be for Allen to run for U.S. Senate when the present term of Democrat Charles S. Robb ends in the year 2000. Allen is young enough to follow that scenario and possibly play for his party’s nominations for vice president in 2004 or even 2008. But if he has future political ambitions, he is faced with the dilemma of what to do between the time he leaves office as governor and the year or so of his life it would take to seek the Senate seat since there will be almost two years of dead space. He could retire to private life, of course, and probably use the prestige he has gained as governor to get a high paying position in some prestigious law firm. But as lucrative as that might be, it would keep him out of the public spotlight, something not good for the advancement of a political career. But now that he is aboard the Dole bandwagon, other prospects could be on the horizon, particularly if Dole is nominated and can beat Bill Clinton this fall. Should that happen. Dole would be in office just a year when Allen’s term was completed. He could easily slip the young ex-govemor into some important federal post. Some might find it paradoxical that George Allen, who frequently reminds listeners that the founding fathers believed in limited government, might want to spend a lifetime in government. But he has often expressed the view that the best way someone who ardently believes in down sizing the scope and role of government can accomplish that end is to take his case to the people by seeking elective office. As a member of the House of Delegates he frequently stirred the pot by railing against any Democratic efforts to expand government. As Governor, he has tried, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, to cut, back the state’s role in many areas, ' most notably welfare. He has learned the hard way that his Jeffersonian thinking is not always welcomed by an opposition party that usually gives only lip service to the famous Monticello resident. In modem times only two former Virginia governors have played roles on the national stage, albeit brief. They were Robb and L. Douglas Wilder. Robb never actually sought the nomination for president, but was frequently mentioned as a possible future presidential contender until some messy private affairs became public and any potential national role went out the window. . - Wilder in an odd 1992 episode campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination, but his candidacy never even got on the runway much less off the ground. He finally backed out and retreated to his gubernatorial office. Whether Allen can ever be a player on the national stage will depend — if that is his aim — on whether he can be elected Senator four years hence. Despite setbacks, he has retained much of his popularity during his term in office and is a strong campaigner. For the moment, at least, he is putting his chips on Bob Dole and, perhaps, hoping it will pay off when his gubernatorial years come to an end. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep Herbert H. Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own. ‘ \

Like Father, Like Daughter Waterman Gains Victory in Ben Venue Race : By BETSY BRANSCOME Timet Newspaper! Staff Writer Races on the Virginia point-topoint circuit began offering ladies’ timber events about 45 years ago to allow more competitive racing for the “gentler sex” who could then ride against only each other carrying lighter weights appropriate for women jockeys. Twenty-year old Jill Waterman seems to appreciate the separation of the sexes on the modem race circuit, but she did not really need the help, thank you. At Saturday’s Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point at Thornton Hill Farm, she not only won the restricted ladies’ timber race, but she also beat the boys, at their own game and equal weights to win the Ben Venue, a Seven Comers ownerrider timber series event won in its first 35 meetings by men only; including in 1978 by her father, Randy. »!. Miss Waterman.is actually no stranger to “gentlemen’s only” competition; in 1992 she rode in the Rokeby Bowl at the Piedmont races, a race previously open only to male riders. v Partnering her own High Speed Drill, she sallied confidently into the Seven Comers division for the first time Saturday, carrying co-highweight of 180 pounds to score by four lengths. Forward placed at all points during the 2 1/2 mile timber ’chase Miss Waterman said that High Speed Drill ran and jumped spot perfect. “He is one of the only horses [in my string] that I didn’t take hunting too much though,” she said, explaining that High ‘Speed Drill’s jumping prowess is easiest to control on the racecourse rather than trying to remain behind the master. “He is pretty tough,” she laughed. “I enjoy hunting most of my horses, but not him!” ' Regardless of hunt field antics, the chestnut son of Melyno looked Sports Practice Begins By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer Practice for most spring sports got underway last week as coaches and players tried to get into shape and make plans for coming competition. Soccer practice did not begin until this week, but track, baseball and spftball teams got a head start. At the beginning of the week everyone was working out in the gym. Then the 'softball team moved to its field, and fhe track team moved to the parking lot of the elementary school. . With most of the seniors away on the senior class trip, coaches were still Waiting to put thfeir teams together. _ This year, for the first time, Rappahannock will field a junior varsity soccer team. The other three spring sports feature only varsity competition, but plans are to field junior varsity teams in baseball and softball next spring, v; , On Friday the track team was back in the gym. Coach David van de Graaff put the squad through various exercises: skipping, high stepping, bounding, and sprinting from foul line to four line as well as running around the gym. He said the various exercises are designed to develop leg strength which will pay off for jumpers and throwers as well as runners. “It is totfil conditioning for everybody, even me,” he said. There are fewer boys out this year than in the past, and Mr. van de Graaff. He said that is because they must select only one spring sport this year. In the past some boys have combined track with baseball or soccer. Mr. van de Graff said with no track of its own the track team does not have much visibility in school. “Once we get our own track, we will attract more kids,” he said. Nonetheless he expects some solid successes this year. Senior Willie Shanks could compete at the state level in sprints. He also expects success from Jason Carter and Dawn Havstad jn the discus, Emily Sims in distance events, Fran Overdorf in high jumping and his four by 100 and four by 400 relay teams. RECYCLE every bit the tractable amateur ‘chaser at Thornton Hill, racing comfortably in front of the five-horse field to turn back a late challenge from William Russell’s Paddy’s Run. Miss Waterman strengthened her hold as the circuit’s leading rider, an award she won in ’95. She additionally received free swimming sessions from the sponsoring Middleburg Swim Center as the day’s leading trainer. Adding points to her tally was Ky. Mint Julep, who repeated his Casanova score last week with an easy win in ladies timber competition to post the fastest time by far for the 2 1/2 miles — 4:48. Ky. Mint Julep and High Speed Drill had both won at Rappahannock last term, and each looked once again to relish the mountainside course and the good-to-soft footing. Rappahannock dodged a bullet from Mother Nature when a predicted weekend snowfall proved insignificant. Early rains slicked the turns though, and several runners slipped and fell while negotiating the steep bend third from the last. The races were otherwise fall free. Middleburg’s Kinross Farm and trainer-rider Neil Morris posted a double on the day, winning first with flat runner Baba Babka in his ‘96 racecourse bow. The gelding nosed out Sapphire and Gold at the wire in the 5/8ths-mile turf contest. Kinross’ Mihmaz had an easier time winning the open timber. Mr. Morris, an English native who is the farm trainer and often rides for the stable, allowed the son of Icecapade to sit off the frantic early pace set by Brooks Durkee on Loafer’s Glory. Getting the strategic inside of the slippery second from the last bend, Mihmaz accelerated to take command by the final fence and pulled away for a comfortable 12-length score. “His last win was in the [Hunt Course]race at Great Meadow,” said Kinross owner Zohar Ben-Dov. The flashy near-black gelding then placed over timber at Columbus, Ga., in November. Mr. Morris said that a return to the Hunt Course at Great Meadow’s Virginia Gold Cup meet in May was probably in the gelding’s future. Other winners on the day included Bradley Gable and his Roman Tent in another repeat victory in the fox hunters’ timber, replicating their ‘95 score. Roman Tent’s trainer Donald Yovanovich also saddled his own Squires Keep to win the 1 1/4 mile flat race. The foxhunters turf was won by Donald Maley on his Four on the Floor.

Nearly 30 hounds from area private packs and night hunters came out to try the drag trail. Crowd and early book favorite Hornet, an entry of Reva farmer Kelly Corbin, made easy work of following the line. The tri-colored hound retired the trophy for the third time for Mr. Corbin with his win — Hornet’s fourth in five years. 1* Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahaji At this point in the Ben Venue William Russell had the lead on Paddy’s Run.

The topic was Pigs. The instructors of our meeting were Dr. Joe Garvin and Sue Benner. The Cloverbuds had the opportunity to enjoy the topic of the meeting by having young pigs from the farm of Mr. Nelson Atkins of Flint Hill, a former 4-Her of Rappahannock County 50 years ago. The Cloverbuds hope to visit his farm in the spring for a hands on observation. Sue Benner provided a wonderful craft project associated with the topic. The Cloverbuds made clay “pig’* magnets.

The congregation, made up of the home church and surrounding visitors, was filled to capacity. Such a sweet and moving time for us. We are sure to be blessed to have this fine young man in God’s service. May God use him well, that he may walk in the old paths all his days and preach the truth in Christ held so dear to us.

There is one place in our community where folks are learning to see one another and the world through honest eyes. It’s in God’s House.

Baking for a Healthy Heart By HELEN SMITH ■— ... Eutnilon Agent, Home Economics ; Everyone wants to be healthy. (Wealthy and wise, too!) What you eat and do can help you to stay healthy. In recent years, there has been much emphasis on changing one’s diet to reduce the risk, of heart . disease and cancer, as these two diseases are the major causes of death in the U.S. ; February is observed by the Rational Heart Association as Heart Month. It is a time to focus on cardiovascular disease, its causes and ways to prevent it. The Extension Service has a comprehensive publication on “Heart Healthy Eating — Fat, Cholesterol, Fiber and Sodium.” It is publication 348-898. For a free copy, call the Extension Office at 675-3619. - For my nutrition column this week, I would like to discuss baking tips for a healthy heart. xOverall goal: Use less total fat. Reduce the amount of margarine, oil and shortening you buy. Chbose recipes low in these ingredients. Yeast breads are especially low in fat and sugar. Lightly oil pans to prevent sticking. At 100 calories per tablespoon (11 gram of fat) keep the use of oil or shortening as low as possible. Use a non-stick vegetable cooking spray or make you own by mixing two parts .liquid lecithin with one part vegetable oil. ■,v Use soft tub margarines, which are higher in polyunsaturates, instead of stick margarine as a spread. Even better, use a fruit spread with no fat. Most diet margarines are not recommended for baking. Reduce fat in most quick breads, muffins, pancakes and sweet loaf "breads by 1/3 to 1/2. You may need to ;experiment with additional liquid .depending on the product. Buttermilk 'often makes a great substitute for ; most of the oil or fat. ’ Read labels carefully. Do not be { misled by “cholesterol free”; the food • may still contain saturated fats such {as.coconut or palm oils. All kinds of I fat have the same value — 9 calories {per gram. { * Buy low-fat or skim-milk varieties of your favorite dairy products. These contain just as much, if not higher, amounts of calcium, and other nutrients. Dry milk has no fat and i therefore has no cholesterol. For 1 {cup of milk, stir together 1/3 cup dry {milk and water to equal 1 cup. * HOME ECONOMICS Use the following egg substitute or a commercial product or use two egg whites in place of each whole egg in muffins, cookies and puddings. Whole egg substitute: mix 6 egg whites, 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil, and 3 drops yellow food coloring (optional) until blended. Makes 3/4 cup and equals 3 eggs; 48 calories per l/4cup. Look at your total diet in a day, aiming for 30 percent or less total calories from fat. There are no bad foods, only bad diets. Reduce sodium intake by using less salt in cooking and baking and at the table. Experiment for the taste you like. Remember, baking soda and powder have sodium, but first try reducing the salt, not the leavening agents. One teaspoon of salt equals 2,132 mg sodium. Try whole-graini flours to enhance flavors of baked goods made with less fat and cholesterol-containing ingredients. Substitute 1/5 to 1/4 of the wheat flour with the whole grain flours in pancakes, waffles, muffins, yeast and quick breads, cookies, and some cakes. Decrease the size of the serving portions. * Remember: Breads, cereals and pasta are generally low in saturated fat and cholesterol and not extremely high in calories. Added fat and sauces increase the total calories. Choose rich bakery products occasionally, not as staples. These often derive more than half of their calories from fat. Examples are croissants, doughnuts, cookies, cakes, pastries, egg breads, biscuits, sweet rolls and some crackers. Instead, try bagels, toast, cereals, pancakes, pita, some crackers, bread, buns, English muffins, non-fat cakes and muffins. The following recipes are examples of heart-healthy baked goods using whole wheat flour, less salt and oil, and egg substitutes. Light-as-a-F eather Whole Wheat Pancakes 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt ' 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute 1 1/3 cups buttermilk 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon oil In medium bowl, stir or sift dry ingredients together. Beat egg, buttermilk, brown sugar and oil together. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Batter should be slightly lumpy. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each cake onto a well-seasoned hot griddle. Turn when bubbles appear. Turn only once. Makes 12 4-inch pancakes. Alternatives: • Omit soda, use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 1/3 cups regular milk. • Add 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries. • Serve hot, spiced applesauce or thick fruit sauce over cakes instead of syrup for extra nutrition and fiber. Nutrition Information. Each pancake provides: 77 Kcal, 3 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate, 2 g total dietary fiber, 24 mg cholesterol, 140 mg sodium. Fruit and Nut Molasses Bread 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup grain mixture 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped nuts 1/2 cup dried fruit (chopped, you choice) 1 1/2 cup skim milk 1 teaspoon soda 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses or honey Grease a 9 by 5-inch pan or 3 by 6-inch loaf pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine white flour, whole wheat flour, grain mixture, salt, sugar, dried fruit and nuts. In small mixing bowl or glass measuring cup, dissolve soda in milk, add molasses and stir well. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour batter into greased loaf pans, cover. Allow to stand 30 minutes before baking. (This should prevent the top of the loaf from cracking. Bake in 325 degree F oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until pick inserted comes out clean. Serves 18. Note: There is no oil, margarine or egg in this recipe. Mixture may be one-third bran or germ and two-thirds flour. Use a variety of grains for character and nutrition. Nutrition Information: Each slice provides: 161 Kcal, 4 g protein, 2 g fat, 33 g carbohydrate, 0 cholesterol and 130 mg sodium. Food Processor Wheat Bran Rolls 1 cup lukewarm water (90 degrees F), divided 1 package active dry yeast 1 tablespoon sugar 1 1/4 cups all-purpose or bread flour 1 1 /4 cups whole wheat flour 1/4 cup wheat bran 2 tablespoons dry milk powder 2 tablespoons margarine 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg, beaten In measuring cup combine 1/4 cup water, yeast and sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes. Lock processor bowl in position and insert steel or plastic blade. (Refer to food processor manual for recommended blade.) Measure allpurpose and whole wheat flour, bran, milk powder, margarine and salt into bowl; process 15 seconds. Add dissolved yeast and egg; process on HIGH 10 seconds, with processor on HIGH, slowly drizzle enough of the remaining water through the feed tube so dough forms a ball that cleans the side of the bowl. Knead dough in processor, check manuals, dough may need to be divided in half if processor cannot handle dough all at once. Process dough 60 seconds for each half or the whole piece, if not divided. . Turn dough into lightly greased bowl, cover, let rise until double. Punch down. Shape into 18 rolls. Place on greased baking sheet, cover with damp, clean towel and let rise until double. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Remove rolls from pan; cool on wire rack. Makes 18 rolls. Nutrition Information: Each roll provides: 82 Kcal, 3 g protein, 14 g carbohydrate, 1 g dietary fiber, 2 g fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 140 mg sodium, 65 mg potassium.

Sisk Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife of the late Clifton Sisk, daughter of the late Lou Dodson and Hayward Jenkins of Sperryville. Nellie came into my life in 1959 when I met her oldest son Warren Turley (Junior). He and I were married in March 1960 and my own mother, Iva, passed away ■' in November 1960. So God sent Nellie to me when I really needed her. She was a very special women and mother, even through hard times, like when her son and I were divorced, she never fumed away from me. In short, she loved me as much as any mother could and knew she was loved by me as much as any daughter could love her mother. I will miss hei greatly but will find contentment in the knowledge that she is home with the 2 people she loved and missed. Her Lord, Jesus, and her husband, Clifton Sisk. Nellie, you will be greatly missed by all. Just know I love you, will miss you, and will always know you are watching over me and all of the loved ones left behind, like my mother has done for the past 36 years. I am very lucky and blessed to have known you and to have 2 mothers in heaven. God bless you both. Doris Biggs Mills Rentals Apartments Flint Hill.

He suggests drinking your water 10 or 15 minutes before a meal and waiting 1 or 2 hours after meals to drink your water or juices. Avoid drinking very hot or cold drinks; low mineral content of water is best as in distilled water. If you find it difficult to drink water, add lemon juice which contains bioflavonoids which destroy free radicals (cancer cells), or add drop of echenacia to boost immune system. As always, seek you doctor’s advice first. Our thoughts and prayers are with Donna Oliver. We miss her smiling face and cheerfulness at Hackley’s Store. She has been suffering from extreme back pain. Dr. Dean Ornish was on Fox Morning News last Thursday, Feb. 20. His latest book is entitled, “Every Day Cooking with dr. Dean Ornish.” As one of the official doctors to the President, he has been advising the President’s chefs on cooking healthier.

Brokers and agents take notice — some offer 6% commission to the selling agent. Call THE BUYER’S AGENCY for MLS #s, plats and showings.
