VA. STATE LIBRARY rXCUMONP 19, VA. £5319 q£C 4 '975 VOLUME XXVII Number 4 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS Stolen articles cache found in Page County A CACHE of stolen articles, some of which came from burglaries in Rappahannock, has been discovered in Page County. The discovery and confiscation of the • items has resulted in the arrest of a couple living in Stanley. Virginia State Police raided the residence of Isaac Eugene Goode on November 23 and confiscated at least a hundred items believed to be stolen. Some of the articles have been identified as coming from the home of Edward Williams at Chester Gap, B. J. Vierling at Flint Hill, and from two separate burglaries at Rappahannock County High School. A large quantity of firearms, about 42 guns, stolen from Harrisonburg, Elkton and other areas of Rockingham County, was also found. Some items were believed to have come from as far away as New Jersey. Goode, along with his wife Hazel, has been charged with two counts each of receiving stolen property. They have been released on $20,000 bond each and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for today in Page County District Court. Further charges will be brought before a grand jury. Among items recovered in addition to guns are cameras, binoculars, and power tools. THE investigation of the thefts was made by Troopers J. A. Watson and G. F. Gregory, along with Investigator Cecil Handy. Trooper Watson advises that if anyone has any items stolen, whether or not they have been reported or any in vestigation made by anyone, that they should contact him in writing at P. 0. Box 221, Sperryville, 22740. Be sure to give a clear description of the articles and include the serial numbers if you know them. The investigation is continuing and as evidence is uncovered it is anticipated by the officers that some arrests in Rappahannock are forthcoming, said Watson. A HUNTER, Robert Naismith of Fairfax, discovered a very large steel safe in a wooded area Friday while deer hunting in Flint Hill Estates. Also found were three cash drawers. The gray safe is about 4 1/2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. An attempt had been made to drill the lock to open it, but apparently that was unsuccessful so the bottom was blown out to gain its contents. Trooper R. A. Baines was contacted by Naismith and the safe was recovered with the aid of Richard Settle and his wrecker from Flint Hill Garage. Some charred paper in the safe appeared to be deposit slips, from University National Bank in Maryland. Other contents of the safe was a number of meat thermometers and ash trays. ANYONE having any information or knowing anything which may have a connection with the safe should contact Mr. Baines or Trooper J. A. Watson, who assited in the investigation. It was impossible to tell how long the safe had been there. Eusters Dodson of near Sperry ville was arrested and charged Sunday with the illegal sale of alcohol. The arrest was made after he sold a quantity of alcohol to an undercover state policeman, according to Trooper Watson. Triplet Angus heifer calves were born about three weeks ago on the D. D. Miller farm at Washington. The mother took one and Mr. “Dick” had to adopt the other two which he gives very special care. He mixes their formula in his kitchen and carries it to them in feeder buckets which he hangs on the board fence. You see what happens. The mother of these calves produced : - last year. Mr. Miller said he didn’t reckon she would have four next time. Multiple births in Angus cattle is rare and to have triplets, is indeed rare. ‘Gourmet’ cites Rappahannock cook SEVERAL Piedmont Virginia hostesses and restaurants are featured in the November issue of Gourmet magazine, including "T^ttie Ball Fletcher of Rappahannockj^ene Prendergrast of Loudoun and restaurants in Leesburg and Middleburg. In an article entitled “Our Virginia Heritage,” Veronica Thomas writes of her visits to Rappahannock and Loudoun as well as other parts of Virginia. In “Little Washington, a label she notes is not to the liking of most residents of that county seat, Mrs. Thomas had lunch with “sprightly, silver haired’’ Mattie Ball Fletcher, “renowned for her cooking throughout Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties,” and described her visit. “As soon as I arrived, Mattie Ball opened a bottle of homemade wine that had been given to her by friends and within minutes the table was laden with goodies from her minute kitchen. There were fluted pastry shells filled with creamed chicken and mushrooms, slices of cold ham and salsify, pears poached in ginger syrup, filled with mincemeat and baked, and warm apple pie with whipped cream and chopped walnuts. Somewhere in between came Mattie Ball’s special, zucchini dish. She mixes the zucchini with cooked sausage, onion, green pepper and tomatoes and bakes it in a casserole topped with bread crumbs and grated cheese. Itwasatreat.” After lunch, the writer toured Mrs. Fletcher’s boxwood garden and Sharon Labovitz’s Country Store, where “the contents invite browsing.’’ Among the enticing collection of wares,” the author was especially taken with the herb vinegars made by Mrs. Florence Williamson of Sperryville, and sold under her Oak Forest Garden label. IN Leesburg, Mrs. Thomas visited the Laurel Brigade Inn. She noted that the Inn was built in 1760 and a “new” wing was added in 1825 when a special banquet was held there for Layayette. At the Laurel Brigade Inn, the author sampled a “flavorful crabcake, seasoned with lemon juice and mustard.’’ She pronounced proprietress Mrs. Ellen Wall’s Apple Brown Betty served with brandy hard sauce, “remarkably good.’’ South of Leesburg, the author visited Oak Hill, the home of President James Monroe now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Prendergrast, for a drink. Thus she didn’t pass judgement on the cooking, but observed that “Gene Prendergrast reminds me very much of Katherine Hepburn, even to the way she tilts her head.’’ At Oak Hill, Mrs. Thomas had fine words for the dining room, “red carpeted and glittering with silver’’ and the “high silk hung feather bed” in the Dolly Madison bedroom. Mrs. Thomas said the nicest thing about Middleburg is its “compactness; everything seems to be only a few yards up or down the Main Street.” She stopped at the Coach Stop”where one can get straightforward cooking like the ‘horseman’s special,’ a substantial bacon and egg platter.” At L’Auberge, the author had ‘‘a rich potato and leek soup” and an omelet ‘‘tasting the way an omelet should be, but so rarely does; pale golden, light in texture, See Page 15 Hunting report With approximately half the big game season over, hunters in Rappahannock County have been quite successful, according to Game Warden Jim Bankston. After canvassing the game checking stations this week, the tally stands at 230 for deer, ten turkeys and two bear. The Flint Hill area appears to be the most productive for deer, with Washington running a close second. Washington has recorded the only bear checked in Rappahannock with one killed here and checked in Page County. Amissville leads the county in turkeys with five checked there.

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Keep It Public! IN A few weeks, local officials will begin new terms of office. There will be some new faces on Boards of Supervisors—ranging from practically the entire board in Prince William to only two new members in Fauquier—and a general opportunity for new beginnings. Turning over an old leaf, starting out on a bright new page, is always a time of opportunity, and we have a suggestion for what these local officials should write at the top of the very first new page: \ “Keep It Public.” As simple as that seems, it is apparently difficult for public officials, once they’re elected, to remember this basic! responsibility to the public. Since the public has entrusted them with the power to conduct the public’s business, you’d think it would be elementary that everyone concerned would want to make certain that that business is conducted in public. Not so. County Supervisors, especially, have a disturbing habit of wanting to retreat behind closed doors at every opportunity. Why? You tell us; we can’t imagine why, without skirting the boundaries of the libel laws. Public officials, especially ones who have held office for a long time, get to thinking that it isn’t really the public’s business they’re conducting. They apparently think it’s their business, and nobody else’s, and they greatly homim HJBIIC BUSINESS KfCOONOUCTSD WRaucomcws *TPUBjcwn« "tasg" Hayatr la *t l«Mb CaartwJa—I ’Tut, tut, dear boy! What you don’t know won’t hurt me.^ resent efforts to challenge their cozy little private meetings—with each other, with public employes, with builders and speculators, with lawyers, with anybody but the public or the representatives of the public, the news gathering and reporting people. VIRGINIA HAS a “Freedom of Information” law that spells out—with some amount of ambiguity, it must be admitted— the circumstances and conditions whereupon public officials may be allowed to meet behind closed doors. Taken strictly, these occasions are fairly restricted. Followed to the letter, there wouldn’t be many closed door meetings; the law simply doesn’t justify very many occasions when closed sessions can be held, legally. Does that stop anybody? It does not. Some Supervisor, or Town Councilman, will mumble something about “legal matters” or “personnel,” and reporters and the public will be shooed out of a meeting room, or the public officials will march into a nonpublic back room to handle the public’s affairs. And when they’re in those non-public premises, the matters for discussion quickly range to a much wider list of subjects than was described in the officially stated purpose of the meeting. More than one public official has admitted as much to this newspaper. They might start off talking about “personnel” or a “legal matter”— and even these permitted items for closed-door sessions have been legally defined a lot more narrowly than they’ve always been exercised —but then the talk ranges far and wide, from taxes to politics, from planning to assessments, from zoning to special permits. AS THE nation approaches a New Year which is also a presidential election year, there has been a lot of commentary in the press and on the air about Americans’ “loss of confidence” in government and politicians. A good way to start restoring confidence is to Keep It Public—locally, on the state level, and nationally. Conduct the Public’s Business in Public! “Close-up” Entries in the close-up contest have been scarce lately and from a number of entries we found one correct one. Bessie Brown of Front Royal identified the object as the nozzle of an areosol spray can. We give you another to ponder. Bring or mail replies to Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. Letters to the editor County is praised Editor: Your editorial published November 13, 1975 in the Rappahannock News entitled, “Save the Farmland’’ was undoubtedly the best article I have read anywhere in years; however, I do not feel anyone can add further words, for the article was complete, accurate and precisely to the point. Nevertheless, having been born and reared in Rappahannock County for nearly 20 years where I was taught values, respect, trust and decency for the fellow man, it is very difficult for me to become accustomed to other ways of life which includes neighboring counties, for there are no people more friendly, kind, considerate and respectful than the country people of Rappahannock County. Rappahannock should be able to continue with local government without interference from state and federal governments. For a free democracy in which we live, I feel our freedoms are vanishing too rapidly for a free country to remain tree. UDviousiy, Kappanannock County government has always been clean and honest to the best of its abilities because Rappahannock is alive and doing very well by tending to its own business. Even though the county does not have big industries, 1 have never known anyone who died of malnutrition, for there is nothing more precious than the natural God-given farmland which Rappahannock occupies and produces many types of fruits and food for human consumption. As for the public school system in Rappahannock where I graduated in 1962, you have always had the finest and most respected faculty perhaps than any where in the state. As for the powerlines, industries, subdivisions and shopping centers, well, Rappahannock MUST continue to FIGHT for local authority and outsiders surely have all they can do to clean up their own cities and communities. All in all, Rappahannock is surely my number one home in heart, even though I now own my home in Culpeper. This is a time of year to be thankful for something and I thank God for my home land which is Rappahannock County. Arthur H. Hitt, Jr. (Mack) Re-cycling is planned A recycling collection area is being established for the use of Rappahannock residents who wish to recycle paper and glass. A trailer will be located behind Merrill's Garage in Washington beginning Saturday, December 13. Paper of all types, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, will be accepted and should be neatly stacked. Glass for recycling must be clean and separated into three categories, green, brown and clear. Glass must be free of metal, as the small rings left from a twist off cap. It is hoped that eventually the monthly volume of recycling material received will average twenty tons. This service is for the entire county and should be used by all. Save your papers and glass and bring all of it to the recycling center. Pure aluminum can also be recycled, however, at present there is no outlet for other metals. New Marine A Washington resident, Milton D. Fletcher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gene A. Fletcher, has enlisted in the U, S. Marine Corps in the “Delay Enlistment Program.” This program enables Milton to enlist now and reserve an opening in the field of his choice. The time spent in the Delay Program will be credited as longivity when computing future pay raises. Milton enlisted for the Aviation Maintenance/Ordnance Program, and will depart for his initial training at Parris Island, S. C. on August 2. 1976. He is currently a Senio. at Rappahannock County High School.

Bicentennial costumes, props sought SINCE the (October 30) initial notes from the “Bicentennial Bugle,” the chairwoman of the June 12, 1976, offering at Montpelier, a pageant entitled “Let Freedom Ring,” has asked for (and you can see, has obtained) “ye cornpleat fanfare” herewith pouring from the above-billed “Bugle.” As an indication of the scope of this project, it can be revealed that over 80 persons of this County will appear in the numerous scenes. A host of nimble needles will be recruited to prepare the carefully detailed and authentically designed costumes to give life to the various sketches chosen to show some of what happened in this country from the Landing (in 1607) until a few weeks ago. Major emphasis, of course, will be placed on the Declaration of In HUNTLY Mrs. Laura Fidler had as Wednesday visitors, Mrs. Edith Madlin and Mrs. Ruth Madlin and daughter Sally of Alexandria.

However, this expression of the 13 original Colonies’ feelings was born of a philosophy developed early in the sixteen-hundreds and to ignore the century and a half plus that prefaced July 4, 1776, would be to strip the Declaration of essential character. So, a corps of women who will sew or mend is being formed and volunteers are wanted. This is a rather large program for the County’s enjoyment and it is hoped the County will support it heartily in the following ways: THOSE who will sew have been mentioned—there are “properties,” though, that are needed in a variety of kinds.

PANTHER TALES Cindy Cumins r~. OUR Thanksgiving holiday seemed to fly by as holidays usually do ... . just wish the enjoyment seemed as long as the time we spend anticipating it! Our vacation got off to a good start last week with an assembly on Tuesday sponsored by the SCA. The choir presented several selections and we had some special songs from Mr. and Mrs. Bomberger, our music, math and art teachers, Miss Picard, one oi our English teachers and Raye Rector, a student. Miss Picard also offered a few Thanksgiving thoughts by speaking on the importance of appreciating “the little things in life.” And last, but not least .... the assembly could not be complete without a grand chase of our R. C. H. S. Chicken, who turned into a turkey especially for our Thanksgiving assembly. You’ll be relieved to know that she made a a narrow escape. Oh well, better luck next year! If you think you’ve been seeing unidentified flying objects lately in the area of the high school, you probably have!

Our boys basketball teams played their first games of the season on Tuesday with Central High. Though they didn’t manage a victory, we still have high hopes for a promising season to come.

She does not advertise and the only requirement for guests is that they come by personal introduction or otherwise privately referred.” Mrs. Thomas visited the Wayside Inn in Middletown before going on to Richmond, Williamsburg, Yorktown and Smithfield.
