Rappahannock News, October 14, 1976

* ot/vic. ulBRARY C VIRGINIA RICHMOND X9, VA. RCHS gets a new designation RAPPAHANNOCK County High School will lose its designation as a fully accredited high school and will instead be “accredited and advised” once the new state standards go into effect, reported Assistant to the Superintendent T. A. Fleetwood at Tuesday’s School Board meeting. Fleetwood attended a special meeting on accreditation standards at which state education department representatives explained that the number of deficiencies allowed to a school in the fully accredited category have been dropped to zero. Once one deficiency exists, the school will automatically be advised. No response to this advisement is required, according to Fleetwood. He added that 75 to 80 percent of the schools in the state would fall in this category. The deficiency that most schools have is a teacher teaching out of his or her subject field— even for one period during the school day. If less than five per New state standards result in ■advised’ accredi tation cent of the individual schools, teachers are in this category, no additional deficiencies will be marked against the school, said Fleetwood. “I can see one deficiency right away in the high school,” Fleetwood said. He noted that a teacher there is instructing two science classes and a math class and is only certified to teach two of the classes. The teacher is close to certification on the third subject and is working towards that goal, but he will still count as a deficiency under the new state standards. SCHOOL Board Chairman E. N. Montague saw the change in standards as another example of the hardships imposed by the state Visitors expected this weekend THE annual House Tour and Dried Flower Arrangement Sale, country lunches and a turkey supper, combined with the brilliant fall foliage, should be enough to bring many visitors to Rappahannock County this weekend. The ' house tour and flower sale scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, October 16 and 17, will include three homes open to the public, plus a candlelight tour of the local potter’s shop, a sculpture exhibit at Rappahannock Library and a visit to Mt. Salem Church which is in the process of restoration. The house tour and flower sales room hours are 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall in Washington will be headquarters for tour tickets and flower sales, though tickets may be purchased at any of the tour houses. Tbe Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish sponsor the tour and flower sales. Homes open include Pleasant View located in Harris Hollow and owned by Mr. and Mrs. James DeBergh; The Oaks, home of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Keyser; both near Washington, and Jordan River Farm near Huntly, the home of Mrs. Miriam Harris. Rappahannock Library and Fodderstack Pottery, established and operated by June Jordan, are located in the Town of Washington and Mt. Salem Church is nearby. Fodderstack Pottery will be open all day, however, a Candlelight Tour will be held both days from 5 until 8 p.m. Pleasant View has been in a growing state for over a hundred ninety years. The original section was built of log in 1785, the stone section in 1812 and the brick section in 1860, just before the Civil War. The DeBerghs have done a good job of gathering antiques to furnish the house. The Oaks boasts a log section which dates back to 1749 and the house was once used as a rectory. In a field near the house is a large oak, now dead, which is called the “dipper tree.” This tree by the spring once held the silver (tipper sent here by the Queen of England. Mrs. Harris and her late husband, carefully restored this 200 year old farm house which al§o shows the original log portion. The house contains many antiques and mementos from Mr. Harris’ newspaper and writing career. Box lunches served by members of First Baptist Church will be available both days near the parish hall and a country dinner featuring turkey and the trimmings will be served at the Flint Hill fire hall from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday evening. The Flint Hill United Methodist Church sponsors the dinner. Jenkins Auction House in Washington is offering free coffee and donuts to all tour ticket holders both days. TEA will be served during the tour at Pleasant View and block tickets may be purchased for $5 or single home may be toured for $2. In the vicinity of the flower salesroom, the Washington Ladies Auxiliary will hold a bake and canned goods sale. Other items sold educational authorities on rural counties. Superintendent 0. A. Norton agreed. “In a small system, teachers fill many slots and teach a number of subjects that they are not certified in in order to offer students a broader program.” He said that because of higher educational requirements, it was increasingly harder for prospective teachers to earn double or triple endorsements before graduating. Class assignments were juggled at the beginning of the year in order to match teachers with their areas of endorsement, said Fleetwood, and the juggling was generally successful. “You were lucky,” commented See Pace 11 Dried flower arrangements ready for sale Saturday and Sunday have been made by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish and will be sold at the parish hall salesroom from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Among those working on them are Mrs. Elmo Flynt and Mrs. N.A. Parsons, in front, and Mrs. E.A. McNear. will be bicentennial posters and candles. The firemen of Washington will sponsor a special shooting match at the carnival grounds. The exhibit scheduled for Rappahannock Library will be staged by sculpture students studying under Natalie Lewis of Huntly. Although the county’s apple crop was not up to par on all varieties, the fruit stands and stores in the area are flourishing with apples, honey, pumpkins, cider, antiques, crafts and souvenirs. The colorful autumn foliage will probably be at its peak this weekend with the bright red gum trees, gold and red maples projecting an artist’s dream. A bake sale sponsored by the Rappahannock Woman’s Club is also scheduled for Saturday and Sunday and will be located next to The Country Store of Washington. They will also feature some Christmas craft and gift items. □

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Slow down SOME distressing news has come in from the Virginia State Police. Virginia’s traffic deaths for the first nine months of 1976 are running ahead of the same period of 1975. The trend had been down for the years 1973, 1974 and 1975, but little hope of continuing that trend is held out now. While traffic volumes for the first half of the year were up an estimated 6.9 per cent, the thought persists that a reduced traffic death toll might be achieved by more vigorous enforcement of highway speed limits. Some protestations of the State Police to the contrary, a ride down any major highway or Interstate reveals quickly that very few people are observing the 55 mile per hour speed limit that was put into effect during the “energy crisis.” Nationwide, the death toll went down as speeds came down; we don’t have the figures at hand, but a reversal of this trend, as the “crisis” has dimmed in everyone’s consciousness, would not be surprising. The comparable figures for Maryland, also, are not immediately available, but we do know that that state has a well - deserved reputation for strict enforcement of the 55-mile - per-hour limit. Drivers accustomed to traveling around the Eastern Seaboard immediately ease up on the gas pedal when they cross the Maryland state line, and for good reason. Stopped speeders can be seen all along the road. Why can’t Virginia earn the same tough reputation? We may be wrong, but it would be our guess that the highway death toll figures would take a different turn if the speed laws were enforced so strictly that a majority of motorists automatically slowed down. □ Book fair The Rappahannock County Elementary School will sponsor a student Book Fair from October 14 to 21. Students will have an opportunity to browse and to purchase the books which will be on display in the library from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. “All students, parents, and visitors are invited to attend the Book Fair during the week and especially on October 21 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. when a Parent-Teacher Conference is scheduled. The Fair will encourage student interest in reading and in building home libraries. It will contribute to a worthwhile project for all profits will be used for purchasing new books for the library,” said Mrs. Lucia ' Kjlby, Librarian. “Your son or daughter will bring a slip home with the titles of books which he has selected and wants to buy.

Exton of Amissville participated in the Virginia 10Miler held September 18 in Lynchburg. This is the third year this 10 mile race has been sponsored bj First Colony Life Insurance Company and presented by the Lynchburg Roadrunners in cooperation with the city of Lynchburg. Exton placed 174th in the division in which a field of 782 started. He is the son of Lt. Gen. and Mrs. Hugh Exton. Letters to the editor Forestry vital, too CiUUUl • A I was pleased to note the editorial in a recent edition of the News on the subject of agriculture as an important industry in Virginia. Citizens of our Commonwealth tend to overlook this. In addition, many Virginians are largely unaware of the forest products industry, which is second only to agriculture in this state. Virginia is fortunate to have such industries as an economic base. This is especially true in Rappahannock County, where residents are working for the preservation of the rural atmosphere, environmental quality, and natural beauty of the countryside. When practiced in the proper manner, the production of timber and farm products can provide employment and economic prosperity without the unspeakable environmental degredation which is dition, extensive subdivision of so often associated with other industries (consider mining, for example, which is also an important Virginia industry). In adland tracts is unnecessary for farm and forest industries. For these reasons, I feel that these are two industries which should be encouraged in Rappahannock. Proper land management methods should be promoted, since farming and forestry are easily mispracticed. The County Extension Agents, Soil Conservation Service, and Virginia Division of Forestry all offer useful professional advice. Individual landowners and the general population of Rappahannock County would all benefit from well-managed farming and forest industries. Lyt Wood County Forester Take soil samples now Now is the time to take soil samples for the upcoming crop year; avoid the delay that occured last year due to the lateness of taking soil samples. Soil sample boxes and information may be obtained either at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office or the Extension Service office. The results of a soil sample will be no better than the sample sent to the laboratory, so take your time and get a representative sample from the fields, farmers were advised. Sheep producers are encouraged to report all sales of wool and lambs to the Rappahannock County ASCS office as soon as sales are final for 1976. If the national average price received falls below 72 cents per pound for shorn wool, there will be an incentive payment to all sheep producers who have reported sales for 1976. For more information contact the Rappahannock County ASCS office.□ FUND DRIVE Additional contributors to the Sperryville Rescue Squad fund drive on which a recent report was made are Mrs. Brown Miller, Sperryville Corner Store, Mrs. Daniel Noce and H. C. Stephenson. RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture Pesticide Applicator Licenses—The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce has sent out the private applicator license^ to Rappahannock farmers who passed the test last winter or spring^ The licenses carried a statement indicating they would expire in December 1977. Several farmers have called in and are concerned about this. Just disregard it. Renewal licenses will be sent out in October 1977 which will not expire until December 31, 1980. These licenses will automatically be sent out and farmers will not have to take a second test. For those of you who have not obtained your private pesticide applicators license, and would like to do so, we will have a one day training and test session on Wednesday, December 8th. Cattle Grub and Lice Control—If you are planning to use one of the systemic sprays or pour-on for combination grub and lice control, you now have 18 days left to do the job. November 1 is the cut off date for effective grub control. None of the systemics are recommended for use on cattle between November 15 and February 1. Fall Soil Sampling—Each year many farmers with good intentions for having their soil tested early (in Fall) wind up sending in their samples in the Spring. Even so, the Soils Lab was able to keep up fairly well with the Spring runs until this year. During a one month period of time (early February - March) approximately 43,000 samples were sent in to the Lab from around the state. Since the maximum capacity of the Lab was 600 samples per day, the backlog built up until there was over a month’s delay in receiving soil sample results. The capacity of the soil lab has now been expanded to 1,000 per day. Even so, if you want to receive your soil sample results in time to be of benefit, please send them in during October and November. Fall soil sample results can be used for the Spring A.S.C.S. cost sharing program. They will also be reliable for the following year’s crop. Grape Production Short Course - V.P.I. Blacksburg, October 28 and 29—The two-day session is designed to acqu&wW experienced and amateur growers with up-to-date information on grape growing' in Virginia.

Court house space report submitted By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH THE Rappahannock County Supervisors received a formal re’ port from the Ad Hoc Building Space Study Committee at last week’s Board meeting. Appointed by the Supervisors in response to complaints from the courts and constitutional offices that space provided was inadequate, the Committee visited all county offices and decided that a serious lack of space exists in the clerk’s office, the Health Department and the constitutional offices and for court functions. Their report presented to the Supervisors last Thursday concluded that no building exists in town suitable to use for consolidating all county offices. To alleviate the overcrowded situation in the court house on a short term basis, the Committee’s report recommended that the Registrar and Zoning Administrator immediately occupy a single office and that the vacated space be released to the courts, the Commonwealth’s Attorney and the sheriff, in that order. In addition, the report suggested that the summer kitchen adjacent to the court house be remodeled as an office for the Registrar and Zoning Administrator as soon as feasible, moving them out of the court house entirely and freeing an additional room. Also recommended was an extension of the rear of the clerk’s office. The report suggested that Health Department officials look for additional space themselves. AFTER reading the Committee’s recommendations, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke suggested that the remodeling of the summer kitchen be put out for bids. He estimated that it would cost $3000 to put the building into “working condition” as an office. The appropriation for the project could come out of the building fund, with a percentage allotted for work this fiscal year and the rest of the job completed the following year. “Let’s don’t be in any hurry,” answered Supervisor H.B. Wood. “Let’s wait and see how one more room works out this year.” The Supervisors voted unanimously to combine the two offices in the court house and took no action on the proposed remodeling of the summer kitchen. “We need more space but what „ shape it should take...I don’t know,” commented Luke. He reported that a representaive from the University of Hlinois Architectural Department had been in Washington two weeks ago to survey the court house in respect to future needs of the court system. This service comes under a Planning District 9 contract with the Justice Department and has already been used by Madison County. The survey includes no architectural service, according to Luke. Rappahannock will receive a report with a suggested way to proceed with any expansion plans. The county will be under no obligation to accept the University’s proposal. “They did an excellent job in Madison,” commented Luke, and that county is going ahead with the expansion plans suggested by the University’s survey. “There are some programs available to pay for this (court house expansion),” concluded Luke. JOHN JONES, Planning District 9’s Criminal Justice Planner, appeared before the Board to ask for support for an alcohol rehabilitation program. Culpeper County has agreed to be the cash flow agent in the program and participation wouldn’t cost Rappahannock anything. Similar alcohol rehabilitation programs have been instituted throughout the state in response to 1975 General Assembly action that provided for an individual who was arrested for drunk driving to successfully complete a rehabilitation program in lieu of going to jail. According to Jones, the programs are designed to be selfsupporting and cost the participant $200. The existence of such a program in Culpeper would enable Rappahannock citizens to take part there rather than Fairfax or Winchester, according to Jones. A study done by Planning District 9 at Culpeper’s request to determine if such a program was needed found that 17 percent of the drivers they tested were drinking and 2 percent were drunk. “It’s a very good solution, ” said Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, “the best the state’s ever come up with in dealing with drunk drivers. It’s absolutely essential that we participate.” While supporting Rappahannock’s participation, Luke commented, “I don’t know if you’re going to rehabilitate these people by sending them to school.” THE Supervisors voted unanimously for Rappahannock to join the program by appointing a representative to the Rehabilitation iWX<,X;K;S:¥5:%%»5:W5wMvKv.v.v.v.v.v.*.% .*5> « & g I s I SILK MILL SALES ROOM 707 Stonewall Drive FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA 22430 BIG "fyHS/M October 16 thru November 13, 1976 First Quality Trevira Double Knits in new fall colors and patterns at the low price of $2.90 per yard.

Before adjourning, Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked what the situation was in regard to putting the trash dumpsters on fire department property in Washington. Luke estimated that the site improvements required by the department before they’ll allow the dumpsters to be put on their property for a 90-day trial period would cost an estimated $500. In addition, the department would receive a continuing income per con- ’ tainer placed at the site. ‘‘Looks like they’re asking for a lot for a trial run,” commented H.B. Wood. Supervisor Dick Latham also disagreed with the conditions. Latham maintained that if this policy were followed in Washington, the same thing should be done for the rest of the county. “If we spend $500 to improve the site in the Washington community, we should do the same thing elsewhere.” Should the agreement be extended after the trial period, “what happens next year when the site needs more gravel or someone backs into the snow fence?” asked Supervisor Butch Eastham. The county will be responsible, answered Luke. SUPERVISOR Wood pointed out that Castleton citizens had been policing the site of their dumpster, picking up the trash on the ground and “not making a big to do,” while Washington wanted a $500 site improvement project just to have dumpsters there on a trial basis. Davis supported the Washington request, claiming that it was justified since everyone would bring their trash to Washington. Wood disagreed. “They’ll take it to the closest place.” “What if someone takes trash to Amissville and the dumpsters are full?” countered Davis. “They’ll throw it on the ground like everyone else,” answered Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, half in jest. Luke said he would continue negotiations with the Washington Fire Department and noted that the Board will probably have some type of solution by next month.□ CHARGE CONFERENCE The Rappahannock United Methodist Charge will hold its annual Conference, Sunday, October 17 at the Sperryville United Methodist Church.

Flooding at Rock Mills described By CHARLES L. JACKSON WE had parked our Airstream Trailer on a little rise off the side of the road, across from Ed Pawley’s place in Rock Mills. The spot we chose was about eight feet above the water’s level. It was about 5 p.m. Friday night, October 8, and a light rain was falling. We had intended to camp on top of the hill just the other side of the Thornton River near Capt. Holschuh’s guest house, but, the car couldn’t make the climb. We walked up the hill to enjoy a fine dinner with the Holschuhs. Returning to our trailer by 9 p. m. we turned in shortly thereafter. Before we fell asleep the rain was falling in a steady downpour. Suddenly at 3 a.m. we were awakened by the furious pelting of rain on the trailer. Then we heard the roar of the rampaging Thornton River outside our door. It was about three feet below us. We flashed our light through the window and saw the churning muddy water. In a few minutes the rain seemed to slack off, so we went back to bed. About 5:30 a.m. my wife Beverly was awakened by the beam of a powerful flashlight penetrating the curtains of our trailer. She shook me awake. We thought the State Police had come to investigate us. In a moment we heard a loud voice asking, “Are you aware what’s going on out here?” IT WAS Ed Pawley lookingafter our welfare. “Yes,” I replied. “I was about to dress and come outside to take a look.” Pulling on a pair of slacks over my pajamas and slipping into my raincoat, I put on my old hat, stepped into my shoes, grabbed my flashlight and left the trailer. Pawley was standing under his umbrella with his light cradled in his arm. He had been out for quite awhile inspecting the rise of the river and the condition of the bridge. He was already drenched to the skin. *1 “WELL, CHARLIE,” Ed said, “what do you think? The way this rain’s coming down there’s no telling how high the water may get.” “Ed,” I replied, “I’m going to move the trailer. Have you any idea where I can take it?” “Hell, yes,” he bellowed. “If you can back this rig up the road I’ll show you a level spot in the road where you can park it for the night.” It was necessary to shout in order to be heard above the noise of the falling rain and the cascading river. The water was now beginning to break over the deck of the bridge. RETURNING to the trailer I called to my wife to get dressed and help guide the movement of the trailer as I backed it up the road. When Beverly got outside she said, “What a mess! Mr. Pawley, do you think the water might reach the road?” “Most assuredly, Mrs. Jackson. Would you want me to take you to a neighbor of mine on higher ground?” “No, thank you, sir. I prefer to stay with my husband.” They took places along the road while I started the Ford and began to back out. DURING the 20 or 30 minutes it took me to back up that hill, the rain never let up. The, driver’s side of the car was getting soaked inside. I had to drive with the window open in order to see where I was going. Cold water was running off my hat and down my neck and I felt miserable. With a little jockeying I had the trailer and car off the side of the road, leaving plenty of room for any vehicle that might come by. It was now nearly 7 a.m. and we three thoroughly soaked individuals decided to split company. DAYLIGHT had not yet come, so, we switched on the parking lights. This lit up the trailer’s outside like a Christmas tree. This was for our own safety.

Beverly and I changed into dry pajamas and went back to bed. At 8 a.m. I got up, dressed, and went out to take pictures. The WHEN I spoke to Mr. Fawiej^, later that morning I asked him if he had ever seen the river that high before. “No, Charlie; I’ve been here 22 years and we’ve had some A route marker and bridge railing are just barely visible above the flood waters Saturday at Rock Mills.

The spot where the trailer had been was under about three feet of water. pretty Daa nooas in uiai nme, but, this one is the worst.” Tons and tons of debris had floated down the River, leaving plastic jugs and bottles everywhere. Five inches of rain had fallen and gave Rock Mills its worst flood in many years. □ Jonas Jenkins operates a road grader Sunday as he attempted to make a road out of a mud hole. Water from the flooded river at Rock Mills remains in the washed-out roadbed. Gravel was hauled to build up the area to make it passable. SPECIAL SHOOTING MATCH SAT., OCT. 16 1:00 PM.

RCHS gets a new designation From Page I Board member Walter Masterson. Fleetwood also reported on the new graduation requirements that will be instituted statewide beginning in 1978. He said he thought the state would set up minimum competencies and guidelines rather than leave the matter entirely to the localities. Under the proposed new requirements, in addition to earning the necessary credits, students will have to demonstrate functional literacy, computation skills that will include working with fractions and decimals, an understanding of the history and culture of the United States and an ability to either pursue higher education or gain employment. WITH an eye towards implementation of these standards, Norton said that testing will begin soon on ninth and tenth graders to determine areas of weakness. He said it may be necessary to institute a different structure of courses in order to provide the classes necessary to make sure that Rappahannock children meet the new standards. Montague asked if only those who could meet the new requirements would be able to graduate. Fleetwood answered that he hadn’t “seen anything at all where ability is spoken to.” “I would hope that the student who masters a trade (under a vocational program) would be awarded some type of certificate of completion,” said Norton. He added that he thought the new requirements would allow enough flexibility and discretion on the part of local school boards to allow such certificates to be awarded. “With a change this radical, there are a lot of questions to be answered by 1978,” commented Fleetwood. “A lot of students won’t be able to meet these standards,” said Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. Montague replied that he wasn’t worried about that aspect. He felt there would be enough flack when the requirements are implemented to force the necessary changes to make the system workable. But he said he was worried about Rappahannock schools being in the advised category in regard to accreditation. Fleetwood assured him that the overwhelming majority of Virginia schools would be in the same category and that he could foresee no situation in which Rappahannock schools would accumulate the five deficiencies necessary before accreditation is lost. SHARON Kilpatrick was back before the Board to continue her protest against “junk food” popsicles sold in the schools. She brought with her examples of frozen fruit juice shacks, made at a cost of five and a half cents a piece, that could be sold instead. The Board unenthusiastically sampled the substitutes. Mrs. Kilpatrick requested that the Board look into the possibility of putting a popsicle concession out on bids to anyone with a Health Department approved kitchen, specifically mentioning the Hampton Inn. Elementary principal Mary Quaintance explained that the freezer to store the supplies is supplied by the company that now handles the concession and that it would be necessary for the board to purchase its own freezer if they cancelled the contract with the supplier. Board member Paul Nichols suggested, instead, that the matter of whether children eat “junk food’ ’ or not be left up to parents. He said that parents could supply the guidance to either buy or not buy the objectionable .“purple popsicles” made from sugar, water and chemicals. Montague asked for the Board’s comments on what action they wanted to take. His inquiry met with absolute silence. “Am I correct in assuming that the silence means you want the situation to stay as is?” he asked. No action was taken by the Board and Sharon Kilpatrick left with, ‘‘See you all next month.” Daphne McCullough BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Hoskins of Culpeper announce the birth of a daughter, Suzanne Doreen, on September 23, 1976 in Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

WOOD County Forester RECENTLY I have noticed an increased interest in the American chestnut, having received many calls and questions on the subject. The following information may be of interest to readers around the county. Members of the older generation will remember that the native American chestnut was once a major forest tree in this area. The chestnut, besides being very common, was a very useful tree. Its wood was tough, uncommonly durable, and easily split into rails or firewood. Tannin was extracted from its bark and used for leathermaking. Each fall the ripe nuts were harvested, and were either roasted or used to make such foodstuffs as breads, beverages, soups, and confections. Shortly after 1900, an exotic form of chestnut (known as the Chinese chestnut) was imported for planting in ornamental gardens and nut orchards. These exotic trees were the hosts of a prolific fungus which spread throughout the American chestnut forests. The chestnut blight reached Virginia in the 1920’s, and destroyed virtually all mature native chestnuts. Today the American chestnut exists only as small sprouts which rarely survive to reproductive age. Only one specimen is known in Rappahannock County which is still bearing fruit. Seeds will be collected from this tree for use in research programs in an attempt to develop a viable strain of chestnut. HOPEFULLY, this strain will be resistant to the blight and able to compete with other trees in a natural forest environment. This type of research is being carried out by the Virginia Division of Forestry, the U.S. Forest ■ ■■■■■ ■■■ ANNUAL SPECIALS PERMANENTS Reg. $20 Reg. $ 1 5 NOW (15 NOW $12.50 SHAMPOO.

Programs which are presently in effect are cross-pollination of resistant trees, hybridization, and radiation of seeds to induce genetic mutations. Many technical problems are involved, and the researchers are working against all probability, but it would be an infinitely valuable service to everyone if the American chestnut were restored to our forests.□ and family entertained Mr. and Mrs. Edward M.
