Rappahannock News, April 20, 1978

The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 29th YEAR, No. 16 j 10 Pages -I_ THURSDAY, APRIL 20,1978 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 20c Rash Of Fires Hits Rappahannock fire fighters have been busy battling an outbreak of fires here and in neighboring Madison County over the past week. According to Fire Warden Tippy Jenkins, a report of a blaze on the mountain peak in Horse Shoe Hollow was turned in at about 1 p.m. on Monday. Approximately one and a half acres were burning when he arrived at the scene. Fire companies from Flint Hill, Washington and Castleton plus civilian volunteers had the fire under control with a line around it by 5 p.m. Jenkins did mop up work and stayed at the site until midnight. He reported that approximately three acres burned before the fire was extinguished. The cause of the Horse Shoe Hollow fire was undetermined although Jenkins said he expected it had been started accidentally by a hiker or hunter. “It’s a bad place to get to, a lot of hard climbing and hiking,” he explained, adding that he felt no one but a hiker or hunter would have traveled over the rough terrain. After the fire was reported, “we made a few phone calls and immediately had all the help we needed,” said Jenkins. "We really appreciate the people who assisted us. Without their help, the fire would have been much larger,” he added. The same volunteers from the Castleton, Washington and Flint Hill Departments plus men from Sperryville and Amissville rushed to Madison County on Saturday to assist in fighting five fires there. Rappahannock Forester Lyt Wood reported that a blaze on Deal Mountain, a few miles south of Etlan, burned 50 acres of timber before it was controlled. It spread from a house fire that resulted in one fatality. Later the same day, a string of four fires broke out along the Rapidan River, three on Virginia Game Commission property and one on land inside the Shenandoah National Park boundaries.

Title I Budget Approved For Federally Funded School Programs »y uArHNE McCullough R«ppahunock New# Suff Writer An era of good feeling between the Rappahannock School Board members and county teachers is on the way back if last Thursday’s special Board meeting was any indication of things to come. Tentative approval of next year’s Title I program was almost incidental to the relaxed give-and-take of discussions on the intricacies of federal funding, upcoming competency testing and possible changes in the primary reading program. Approval of the proposed Title I budget was the only item on the agenda, but Chairman Beverly Massie allowed time for Rappahannock Education Association president Don Bomberger to read a prepared statement. Bomberger reported that fhe teachers had decided to initiate an effort to inform the School Board members of improvements the teachers feel are necessary to the county’s educational system. In regard to facilities, Bomberger told the Board that storage space at the high school was overflowing. He also maintained that more class room space was needed at both schools. He stressed the need for an art program and noted that the National Endowment for the Arts’ artists in the schools program had been supported by parents and teachers at the recent School Board budget sessions but had not been mentioned since by Board members. Bomberger also pointed out that there was no advanced senior math class offered at the high school for students who began Algebra in eighth grade and finished courses currently available by their junior year. Finally, he asked if the School Board was considering a desk replacement program to take care of problems with wornout, inadequate desks at both Pros And Cons Of Orchard Chemicals Heard By DAPHNE McCULLOlJGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Ironically, an ecologist and former regulator of toxic substances with the Environmental Protection Agency presented the most convincing argument for the use of chemical controls in orchards at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’* April 7 meeting. Dr. Raymond Johnson reported that he’d heard time and time again from agricultural economists that the use of a dollar’s worth of chemicals brings S3 to S4 in economic return. “The profit motive’s there for their use,” he acknowledged. Without chemicals, the orchardist can’t meet the artificial standards of perfection demanded by the fruit buying public, Johnson said. Johnson joined Washington orchardist George Sharp and Dr. Mason Reger, regional representative of the Staufford Chemical Company in RLEP’s program on orchard chemicals. Capt. Sharp began the panel presentation with a talk on integrated pest management (IPM), the use of biological and chemical controls to combat orchard problems. Under an IPM program, a carefully maintained population of beneficial insects lessens spray applications required, Sharp said. However, an orchardist’s main dependence is still on chemicals. “It is not possible to produce usable apples without applying chemical materials,” he stated. Sharp emphasized that all orchard chemicals shouldn’t be lumped together in assessing potential environmental damage. He noted that fungicides used to control fruit tree diseases are not even listed as to toxicity in the Virginia Spray Bulletin. Growth regulators applied to thin and condition fruit or to hold the fruit on the tree until it can be gathered by pickers contain substances naturally found in plants. It is the insecticides for controlling harmful insects like aphids, mites and coddling moths that present a danger due -to their tugn toxicity. Sharp noted that these chemicals are now under strict controls and may be produced, purchased and used only by licensed persons who have passed a written examination. In regard to RLEP concerns on dangers posed to bees by chemicals, Sharp said pesticides were usually avoided during fruit tree bloom. “If pesticides must be used, there are types that are not toxic to bees,” he told the audience. Look* Are Everything By spraying, orchardists prolong the lives of their trees and improve the condition and appearance of fruit, said Sharp. He added that "appearance is the number on-, factor in selling fruit,” according to marketing experts. “The public will not buy unattractive fruit.” Under his integrated pest management program, Sharp said he leaves the population of beneficial insects alive, chiefly to control mites. This reduces the chemical dosage needed, compared to a standard spray schedule. Sharp said he compares the lady bug population to the mite population on a sample tree and balances the two. If the mite population is too high, indicating that the beneficials are not achieving control, he applies insecticide. If the count shows a balance has been reached, he extends the interval between sprays. Sharp reported that he’d been able to reduce the dosage of fungicides and insecticides by 30 per cent. “We may be able to go further in future years,” he said, adding that not only mites but most other insects are adequately controlled in an IPM program. Adopting an IPM program lessens the resistance buildup to chemicals in mites, Sharp noted. It also results in an approximate reduction of 30 percent in financial outlay for chemicals. “This is —Rappahannock New* Photo /Courtesy oI Dr. William Young RLEP s PANEL ON ORCHARD SPRAYS represented all sides of the issue. Dr. Raymond Johnson (left), first regulator of toxic substances and pesticides for the Environmental Protection Agency, warned on the dangers sprays pose, Capt. George Sharp (center) spoke on combining chemical and natural controls in an integrated pest management program and Dr. Mason Reger, (right) chemical company representative, decried the increased costs arising from 'action by environmentalists. important because chemicals are the second most expensive item in fruit production, at least in my case," he said. Reduced reliance on chemicals also adds a new marketing approach to fruit production, especially in pick-your-own operations like the Sharp’s manage. Gcmrally Satisfactory "In the 1977 season, I found an integrated pest management program generally satisfactory,” Sharfi stated. But he noted several qualifications. First, he started his IPM program in late spring after he’d already established pretty good insect and disease control. Secondly, the previous season had been extremely dry and during a drought, less sprays are required anyway. “So my experience in 1977 may not be very meaningful,” he said. “An IPM program takes a level of skill quite beyond the level of an ordinary spray program,” Sharp maintained. “It may be the way of the future in this business...(but) I think we can’t rush people into it too precipitously because there are economic considerations at work here,” he concluded. Chemicals have enabled people to live “fuller, cleaner lives,” according to Mason Reger, Staufford Chemical Company representative who put forward the case for chemical use at the RLEP meeting. He acknowledged that there was a growing movement to reduce the amount of chemical use but he cautioned against rolling back chemical use too far unless mankind wanted again to be plagued by lice, fleas, ticks mosquitos and the diseases these pests carry. “Sometimes we heedlessly start an avalanche...It looks (Continued on Page 8) the high school and the elementary school. The School Board Chairman and Superintendent William Bloomer replied specifically to most of Bomberger’s suggestions. Bloomer said he’d talked with high school principal Dennis Wingfield about the need for an additional advanced math class and hoped to begin work on implementation for next year. Bloomer also noted that he hadn’t been aware of the poor condition of school desks until well into budget work when it was too late to add a separate allocation to cover desk replacement. However, he said it may be possible to use funds from the coming year’s repair and maintenance category. In response to the issue of space needs for classrooms and storage, Mrs. Massie reported that she expected the School Board to meet with the county Supervisors later this year to begin work on a capital improvements program. Title I Budget Dr. Bloomer told the School Board members that (Continued on Page 9) Senator Eugene McCarthy who will be heard at the Rappahannock Library Washington.

How bad is the drug problem in T ppahannock County? "No worse than New York City on a per capita basis,” according to Bob Trainer. ‘‘The county does indeed have a drug problem,” Superintendent of Schools William Bloomer agreed. “Not to admit it would be like an ostrich sticking his head into the sand.” Trainer, a representative from the Culpeper Mental Health Clinic Substance Abuse office, and Virginia State Police Investigator Frank Lasley were the featured speakers at the Rappahannock Otteens for Better Education's special meeting on drug awareness held April 3. The audience of parents. teachers and school administrators didn’t hear scare stories or horror tales from the two experts. Instead. Trainer and Lasley presented information on the dangers involved with specific drugs, what to look for in signs of abuse, how to deal with kids— in preventing drug use and steps to take if a problem is discovered. Lasley began his remarks by differentiating between drugs that cause mental dependence and those that cause physical dependence. “Mental habits are generally the ones that give you the moat trouble,” he said. As an example, he cited coffee, tea and cola drinks that contain caffeine — a drug that "really makes you feel good and gives you a lift.” Millions of people start the morning with a cup of coffee and keep buying it even though prices have gone up by three times or more in the last several months. Take that mental dependence on caffeine and magnify it 1000 times. “That’s like heroin,” he told the audience. Even after the body is completely detoxified, former users still want the drug. Physical dependence occurs when the body needs a specific drug and will get sick if the drug isn’t there, he continued. Lasley asked if anyone in the audience could name three drugs that cause withdrawal cramps so severe they sometimes result in broken bones and death. 1 ^ “Alcohol, sleeping pills aniTffanquilizers,” he said, answering his own question. "Bet you thought I was going to say heroin. Heroin makes you want to die but it won’t make you get that sick.” Marijuana Lasley started a slide presentation on various drugs with pictures of marijuana. “Moat of you have probably seen it growing wild here in Rappahannock County,” he said, describing the plant as a weed belonging to the hemp family with compound leaves that have narrow, sawtoothed edges. “It was grown on George Washington’s plantation to make rope,” he noted. No bugs will eat marijuana plants, Lasley continued. "Maybe that ought to tell us something,” he commented. When it is abused, the flowering tops and leaves are air dried and generally smoked. Marijuana can also be used too in recipes to make hash, a derivative that is five to seven times stronger. THC is the most active drug in marijuana and Lasley reported that it can stay in the body as long as seven days after use. People don’t build up a tolerance to marijuana as happens with many other drugs. They don’t require bigger and bigger doses to reach the same level of high. Instead, said Lasley, “the more you smoke, the more it builds up in your body and the stronger the effect.” Reading from information on drugs put out by the American Red Cross, Lasley said use of marijuana may result in increased appetite, feelings of hilarity and conviviality and distortion of space and time perceptions. Heavy lidded, red veined eyes are a physical sign of use. According to the Red Cross, an overdose can also turn out to be just like a bad trip on an hallucinogenic drug and can cause "anti-social behavior. As a police officer, that means he might try to kill me when 1 go to arrest him,” added Lasley. The smell of marijuana is usually described as the smell of wet, burning leaves or wet, I burning rope. Incense is freqently burned to hide the distinctive odor of marijuana, Lasley reported. “If you notice the smell of wet, burning leaves on your kid’s clothes (and it’s not the season for raking and burning leaves), you might ask him where he got it,” Lasley suggested. “He might not tell you,” the state Police Investigator added. He told the audience that the penalties for juvenile or adult possession of marijuana were equivalent to penalties for a speeding ticket on the first possession offense. With subsequent arrests for possession, penalties increase. Possession with intent to distribute is a felony and can result in a penitentiary sentence rather than a jail term. “What the statutes say doesn’t mean a thing." he added. “It’s what the Judge does.” In answer to a question from the audience, Lasley agreed that there *ias always a possibility that marijuana purchased from any source could contain other additives. “You don’t ever know what's in a drug that isn't purchased legally,” he added. LSD LSD is a very strong, synthetic drug produced in a laboratory and causes hallucinations or trips. "The amount that sticks to the head of a pin will give you an (Continued on Page >9) %

Delegates Picked Rappahannock Democrats held their mass meeting at the courthouse in Washington last Saturday with approximately 40 persons attending to elect delegates to the district and state conventions. The atmosphere was serious and business-like as party members lined up to register to vote but the formality slipped slightly when a tie in the results forced a straw drawing contest. Mary Edna Schaeffer, Dorothy Davis and Hubert Gilkey were the three top vote getters in the secret ballot cast for delegate. Diana Bird and E. H. Bailey tied for fourth with Sherman Williams sixth. According to rules adopted at the outset of the meeting, the four persons with the highest number of votes would be delegates while the fifth and sixth place finishers served as alternates. “The way to do this in the rules is to draw straws,” reported Schaeffer who served as presiding chairman for the mass meeting. “That's what the rules say,” he repeated as a volunteer dashed downstairs to liberate a couple of straws from the courthouse broom. Mrs. Bird and E. H. Bailey each grabbed hold and Mrs. Bird came out on the short end of the straw. With Sherman Williams, she will attend the district convention in Charlottesville on June 3 and the state convention in Williamsburg a week later as alternates to the Rappahannock delegation. Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Schaeffer, Gilkey and Bailey will represent county Democrats as uncommitted delegates in voting for a senatorial candidate to face the Republican choice in the race for Bill Scott’s seat this November.

REAITOR DANGER OF WRONG PRICING Since human nature is predictable, there is a better than even chance that you’ll put the wrong selling price on your home if you arrive at it yourself. You may price it far above its fair market value because of sentimental attachment, expenditures you have made, or by heeding a well-meaning friend’s advice. A home remaining on the market for months due to overpricing, frequently becomes a “White Elephant”. It eventually sells for a much lower figure than it would have brought originally - had it been priced realistically. On the other hand, you might under-price it because of unfamiliarity with the local market. This would be financial folly. Your safest bet is to list your home with a Realtor who will help you price it correctly from the start and sell it for the best profit.

To The Editor Total Disbelief To the editor: Tuesday, April 4, 1978, I attended a Rappahannock County School Board Meeting and listened in total disbelief to comments made by the Board about their own teaching staffs at Rappahannock County Schools. Teachers, attending the meeting to voice their disappointment in the proposed budget for 1978-89, unexpectedly found themselves to be the targets of unjust criticism. ‘‘The teachers have no dedication nor love for the children,” was one barb which pricked the sides of Rappahannock County teachers. This comment. according to a member of the Board, stemmed from the fact that the ‘‘children” had not been mentioned once by the protesting teachers throughout the entire budget hearing. Since when, I might ask, have the children been involved in the negotiations of teachers’ contracts? Rappahannock County High School students who attended the meeting, however, were quick to speak in defense of the teachers’ dedication and devotion, citing numerous examples of the long and uncompensated hours many donate in support of those extra curricular activities vital to all schools and their students. The Rappahannock County School Board wants to provide quality education for its students; to do so, it must employ quality educators. The County is most fortunate to have these outstanding teachers, yet the School Board adamantly refuses to compensate them for their services. Teachers are constantly expected to unselfishly give of their free time in the name of education. But, when the teachers request a cost of living increases to meet the demands of today’s economy, they are criticized and ridiculed. ‘‘Lack of disciplinary problems should compensate for low salaries," said one gentleman attending the meeting. Much to my dismay, however, a lack of disciplinary problems does not pay the grocery bills, mortgages, car payments, doctor bills, and the like. Because of its stand, the Rappahannock County School Board is forcing its teachers to seek employment elsewhere. This is of little consequence to the Board, since, as they pointed out, the supply of teachers is much greater than the demand. It’s ironic that the School Board members can be so blind to the fact that the children, who supposedly are their primary concern, will suffer the greatest from the loss of these excellent educators. In light of the many recent letters received by the i the Commissioner of Revenue in order to get my own facts straight in connection with the education controversy. I returned because "this is my own, my native land” and because there is no land more beautiful nor any people more charming than here. Nor do I own “two cars, two televisions, golf clubs or a tennis outfit” (I haven’t seen either of the latter two items in this County since 1 returned six months ago!) In this County I own exactly one Ford automobile (sans CB radio set). That’s all. Moreover, I'll trade my personal income right now for that of any teacher on the County payroll. Does that take care of that, “CP”? I think "CP” owes me a personal apology, delivered exactly as the affront was delivered, i.e., in the Rappahannock News. Also, I ask “CP” to address these points, along with the expected apology: (1) Do “let's consider Rappahannock's ability to pay.” Let’s have “CP’s” analysis of that ability to pay. Upon what factual data would “CP” base that ability to pay? But spare us, for God’s sake, any more nonsense about golf clubs, tennis rackets, and CB radios. (2) Let “CP” tell us exactly how the School Board and school administrators have broken their word. (3) Let “CP" tell us exactly how many of the County’s 55 teachers are “rejects" (and privately give their names to the School Board). V4*/ JLfuc^ v,r , ui anyunc, believe that the cited 47 per cent turn-over in personnel is due entirely to dissatisfaction over pay? Are we to believe that teachers are shocked, surprised, and frustrated after they are on the job to learn what their salaries are? (5) Does “CP” agree with the socialist philosophy:” from each according to his ability; to his ability; to each according to his needs”? Or just with the latter half of it? l.e., does “CP” agree with the merit system for salary adjustments which 1 have recommended? (6) “CP” says the letter must be anonymous because “1 am sure it would cause repercussions for my children.” To suggest that any teacher, administrator, or School Board member in Rappahannock County would take out on innocent children their resentment against “CP” for expressing opinions publicly is an enormity. This, indeed, is a sorry tale. This terrible accusation in print deserves either another apology in print or a factual report to the proper authorities as to who has done or is doing such a thing. But let’s not play Joe McCarthy in Rappahannock County. And let’s not use innocent children as pawns in wage controversies as has already been done in certain unbeautiful places elsewhere, l^t’s not assume that the residents of Rappahannock County are stupid mountaineers who are incapable of seeing through such ploys. And let’s stop fomenting anger against teachers in this County with published diatribes and "resolutions of no confidence” in the School Board. Teachers should have confidence or no confidence in their supervisors. If teachers are going to ignore organizational channels completely, who not go all the way and send a resolution of no confidence to Jimmy Carter? (1 might even sign that one myself!) In closing, let me say that I agree on two points (points I tried to make in my statement to the School Board). (a) The teachers should be checked at their work, graded, and counselled after classroom visits. But let us be clear about this. It is not the job of the School Board to do this. It is the job of the superintendent and his assistants. And they, in turn, keep the School Board informed since the board supervises them. (b) With the handful ot teachers employed in this County and with only a part of that number being hired new each year, the School Board should assist the Superintendent in the hiring process. That’s the time to get the best and to reject those likely to follow each other through the same class until one child has had five different teachers in less than one school year, three of whom were so ineffective that they couldn’t even control the class (according to “CP”). I trust that “CP’s” next letter will be signed with a real name or, in lieu of that, signed “A Responsible Parent.” ROBERT WOODFORD EASTHAM Castleton Wrench Named Commissioner William B.

Their principal crops are cattle and apples. Consider the record: For the past 3 years cattle have sold below the cost of production. There has been one dry spring that ruined the hay crop, and two severe winters that increased the use of feed. Due to late spring freezes, the last two fruit crops have been badly damaged, leaving from onefourth to one-third crop, which won't pay. Still the farmers haven’t quit, but they keep on working and paying taxes, hoping that “next year will be better." And all the while, living costs and production costs have been going up. A FARMER'S WIFE Great Souls Endure Tt the editor: “Great souls endure in silence” (Last words on the editorial page of the Rappahannock News, April 13th, In my recent appearance before the School Board, 1 tried to make these major points: Let us stop the bickering over the education of the children in this County; let us base all decisions regarding education on what is needed and is best for the children, and; let us get the facts on the record regarding disputed issues for all to consider. Therefore, 1 do not wish to engage in controversy with anyone on these matters — least of all in a newspaper. But there is an exception: When anyone takes it upon himself or herself to climb aboard me personally in a newspaper, without the courtesy or the courage to tell me to my face what they have on their minds, without signing their name, and worse, to put down in public print malicious misinformation about me — then they cannot expect timidity from Bob Eastham in return. The letter from "A Concerned Parent” published by you April 13th does not make for ‘‘great souls.” Shakespeare’s admonition applies here: "He who taketh my purse taketh trash...But he who taketh my good name taketh that which enricheth him not but leaveth me poor indeed.” First, I do not have any “holdings” in beautiful Rappahannock bought with the "cold, hard cash” 1 am said to have earned in the “beautiful” Virgin Islands. 1 do not own one square inch of Rappahannock County. Not one square inch. Nor did I return to Rappahannock County to purchase one square inch because it is a “low tax area.” In fact, I never had any idea as to what the land taxes here were until the other day when I asked Rappahannock News, all in opposition to the Boards’ comments and actions, perhaps it is time for the people of this fine county to demand that their interests be represented by the Board and not just the personal interest of the Board members themselves or those of a small privileged group.

The Virginia Division of Forestry asks hunters to be careful with fire while in the woods.

Winter Interrupts Reforestation Projects The weather declared war on the Virginia Department of Forestry’s planting program in Rappahannock this year but Old Man Winter only won a partial victory. Despite an unusually short season, approximately 220 acres of loblolly and white pines went into the ground. “We couldn’t lift the trees from the seedbeds,” reported county forester Lyt Wood. “First they were frozen, then mired down from the rain.” According to Wood, only half the reforestation projects on the books this year for Rappahannock County were completed before time ran out last weekend. "We normally plant right through the winter,” said Wood. Trees are put in as late as mid-December and planting is resumed in February as soon as the ground begins to thaw. “This year, we only Irad-^fbur weeks,” he said. According trf Wood, seedlings should be planted when they’re dormant. If they’re set out too late in the Spring, a dry spell may hit just when the trees begin to grow. “The survival rate drops off long about the middle of April,” he noted. Under the state’s reforestation program, the Virginia Forestry Division will supply landowners with seedlings at cost. Over 90 million pine seedlings are produced each year It forestry division nurseries in New Kent and Augusta. New Kent, where loblollies are grown, is the largest forestry nursery in the world, according to Wood. In addition to money saved from buying young trees at cost from the state nurseries, Wood noted that landowners can sometimes recover half the price of seedlings from the forest industry. Also, the federal government will often reimburse part of the actual planting costs, he said. The Forestry Division arranges for workers to plant the seedlings but the landowner pays the labor force himself. Wood said the Division usually hires local people who need work or employs professional contract planting crews to do the job. In addition, groups interested in fund raising activities are sometimes used. This year, the Rappahannock High School Senior Class planted pine seedlings to earn money for a class trip to Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Land three acres and up can qualify for inclusion in Virginia’s reforestation program. The largest county project undertaken this year was planting 170 acres in white pine on William Lane’s land near Slate Mills. The Lane property was first “scalped” by a fire plow unit. Wood reported. Heavy brush cover was pushed to one side so the seedlings could grow for the first year WHITE PINE SEEDLINGS are treated with clay before planting to keep the root systems from drying out. or two without competition. All plowing was done on the contour of the land to help check erosion. Wood added. White pine seedlings were then planted by hand at the usual rate of 800 trees per acre. Wood said the survival rate for seedlings was generally around 80 per cent. On Lane’s property, reforestation costs per acre worked out to less than $50, according to Wood. In addition, he noted that the federal government’s cost sharing program would reimburse part of the planting charges to further reduce Lane’s expenses to approximately $25 per acre. RAPPAHANNOCK FORESTER LYT WOOD checks a bundle of 500 white pine seedlings slated to be planted pear Flint Hill. ( White and loblolly pines are used for pulp wood, poles and saw wood. Reforestation will produce a return on the landowner’s initial investment but the money doesn’t come rolling in overnight. Wood reported that it takes between 15 and 20 years before a stand of seedlings is ready for its first thinning. At that time, the smallest, least vigorous trees are removed for pulp wood and poles. Approximately 35 to 40 years after the seedlings are planted, the stand of pines will reach saw lumber size but still won’t be completely mature for another ten to 15 vears. A forester’s job is management and protection of woodlands and although reforestation is a major, timeconsuming part of that job, fire suppression has first priority, according to Wood. During the March to May fire season, tree planting has to be wqrked in around watching for and fighting forest fires. Even after the fire season is over, maintenance of fire fighting equipment and fire trails account for untold man hours. The Forestry Division is also interested in more than just planting pines on abandoned acreage that is no longer economical to farm. Mixed hardwood stands are an invaluable resource, particularly in Rappahannock, Wood noted, and part of his job is to advise landowners on how to manage their hardwoods. “You have to be very careful on how you go about cutting hardwood trees,’’ he explained, adding that he would mark trees for selective cutting. ’’But we have to charge for it,” he said. "We can’t do it for free.” Some hardwood reforestation programs are also conducted by the Forestry Division, Wood noted. However, he explained that hardwoods thrive on only the very best sites and soils and also require maintenance work that pines can get along Without. Arrangements can be made with Wood now for inclusion in next season's reforestation work or for any other program conducted under Forestry Division auspices. The county forester can be contacted at 948-5341 or by writing Virginia Division of Forestry, Madison, Va. 22727. Academic Excellence Eight Rappahannock students were recognized for academic excellence during the winter quarter at Lord Fairfax Community College. Dr. William H. McCoy, college president, announced that Mark Bailey of Washington, Florence Roman of Chester Gap and James Wayland of Sperryville completed at least a 12 quarter-hour credit load with a 3.8 honor point average minimum and were named to the President’s Academic Honors List. Richie Burke from Woodville, Daniel Mulcahy from Chester Gap, Charles Sisk from Sperryville, and Peter Skowronski and Lewis Smoot from Washington made the Dean’s List by achieving at least a 3.2 honor point average.

By NANCY SECRI9T Extension Agent Keep Em*ter Alive For A Long Time To keep the plants you received for Easter looking their best, remove the foil, or at least rip the bottom to allow for drainage when the plant is watered. Not all gift plants need direct sun. The best location is when it has good light but not direct sun. Water generously but let soil get slightly dry before watering again. One of the most popular Easter plants is the Easter Lily. After it has finished flowering and the stalk starts looking saggy and yellow, withhold water gradually until the plant is completely dry. Twist the foliage off and put the pot in a cool, dimlylit place until late spring. At that time, dig the bulb out of the pot and plant it in your outdoor garden. It may even blossom again the same season. Lily bulbs, however, cannot be saved to bloom again in another indoor pot. Next year, if you want to give an Easter Lily as a gift, plan 13 weeks before Easter to set the bulbs in 6 inch pots. On a recent visit to my brother’s home, we were served scones.

Orchadists: Choose Pesticides With Care (Continued from Page 1) like good, clean fun to rouse a rabble and get them all excited about something they hardly know anything about,” Reger said. “That’s what’s happened with a whole lot of the concerns over protection of the environment,” he claimed. People who smoke tobacco are hardly in a position to object to apple sprays, according to Reger. “There are stronger biological poisons in tobacco than in the materials used to control pests on apple orchards,” he added. Two Provide For 100 “American farmers were at one time a very important group,” he stated. In the 1700’s ninety people were required to grow food for 100. During the 1800’s technological advances had improved to where it took only 50 fanners to grow food for 100 people. Now, two people can produce enough for 100, according to Reger. “We’re about coming to the end of the road as far as farming goes,” he said. Food is going to have to get higher in price or there’s never going to be an end to the exodous from farms to the city, he insisted. In reviewing the history of chemical poisons, Reger reported that kerosene emulsions used to be used for head lice. Then copper and sulphur came along. “They were about as poison as table salt,” he said. In 1905, DDT was developed by the Swiss and used as an insecticide in France. According to Reger, DDT saved the lives of thousands of American soldiers in Italy by killing lice that carried disease germs. "DDT has never in my mind been shown to be a dangerous material. Dedicated people took it by the spoonful daily with no harm but to no avail,” Reger reported. The trumpet sounded, he added, and lawyers got hold of DDT and banned its use. “Repealing the law of gravity is similar to banning some of these beneficial chemicals,” he charged. Before the discovery of DDT, 16 million people were dying from malaria yearly. DDT brought the number of deaths down to just several thousand. When it was banned, malaria mortality immediately climbed back up to six or seven million, according to Reger, and public outcry returned ihe chemical to partial use. Some environmental concerns are a little far fetched, Reger stated. Since automobiles kill more people than any contrivance man's been able to come up with, “there certainly should be some environmentalist sooner or later who will try to have Maddox Funeral Home Serving Since 1908 105 W.

Coat Factor Discourages Misuse Farmers don’t overuse chemicals, Reger continued. ‘‘Spray chemicals are so expensive...orchardists guard them with their lives” and avoid waste like the plague, he maintained. ‘‘An orchardist is not interested in killing bugs. If he could put a repellent on his trees and chase them out of his orchard, he'd^e tickled to death," Reger said. The chemical company representative suggested a few natural pest control methods of his own. Mow an orchard in consecutive strips, he advised, leaving some of the grass long at all times. Fruit producers ought to grow all the hay they can in orchards instead of mowing down until the orchard looks like a lawn, he added. Despite reliance on chemical controls in agricultural operations, animal life has thrived, according to Reger. Orchards are sprayed regularly and still, small birds nest in the fruit trees. "If their egg shells are thin, they don’t know it," Reger remarked. Deer herds have increased in enormous numbers with as many as 1000 animals on some farms in Pennsylvania, he reported. "The last sad part of this whole story” is the price paid because of environmental concerns, Reger continued. “If we had any idea of what this protection of the environment cost us, we’d be very unhappy people,” he stated. Dr. Raymond Johnson prefaced his remarks on chemical controls by telling the audience that he came from a nurserymen family in Nebraska. Johnson recalled that his grandfather put out 100,000 plum trees every year. “We rubbed each stem with liver to repel rabbits,” Johnson said, adding that work in his grandfather’s orchards had taught him to appreciate the labor involved in fruit production. Johnson noted the handicap orchardists face in not being able to rotate crops. Orchardists also have much less of a demand for their products than cereal grain producers, he said. "I respect the orchardist’s dilemma. It is a real challenge to produce a crop," he remarked, acknowledging that fruit producers worked to decrease the number of chemical applications and reduce waste of chemical controls. Still, he maintained, risks are there. Drastic Increase Johnson noted that a broad spectrum of chemicals were discovered about the time of World War II, during the same period that demand for —Rappahannock Nfw« Photo /Courtm\ of Sharon Kilpatrick BROWNIE LEADER CAROLYN MANW ARING instructed girls from Troops 929 and 955 in fire safety at Saturday s outing at the Holschuh's camp near Castieton. — Rappahannock New* Photo /Court e*\ ol Sharon Kilpatrick ROBIN KRAUS AND CORY DERMITT of Troop 31 2. Gina Schumaker and Tara Fisher of Troop <)2t) and Edie Eastham and Tracy Sutphin of Troop T">5 planted bulbs last Saturday at the Holschuh's camp near Castleton. Joint Scout Venture Brownie troops from Rappahannock Elementary joined the troop from Wakefield School Saturday to plant bulbs at Helen and Howard Holschuh's camp ground near Castleton. but it wasn’t easy. The joint “Outdoor Day" for Trinips 929 and 955 from RC’ES and Troop 312 from Wakefield had been planned since fall, but a school makeup day at RCF.S interfered, so the cookout planned for lunch was changed to a supper cookout. Meanwhile the Wakefield girls got to the campground in the morning, prepared their lunch, but they had to leave before supper, so the bulb planting was about all the get-together that was left. Gina Manwaring of Troop 955 tells about her day: On April 15, 1978, Brownie troops 955 and d29 met some new Brownies, in troop 312 from Wakefield at the Holschuh's “Shaw House" campgrounds. We planted gladiolus and caladium bulbs along the edge of the woods. Our leader. Carolyn Manwaring, talked to us about fire safety. We cooked campfire chili and banana boats. Some of us played on the swing. Some of us played in the tree house We all had lots of fun. Meeting Set The Rappahannock Women's Club will meet I uesday.

In 13 years between 1962 and 1975, 32,000 new chemical products showed up on the market. In 1962, 730 million pounds of chemicals were produced; by 1975, the total skyrocketed to over a billion pounds. According to Johnson, science is now into a new generation of chemicals — biological pest controls that act on a specific stage in the life cycle of an organism or attack only a certain species. Use of this third generation of chemicals is more than just a science, Johnson maintained. “It’s still an art form and may stay that way for a long, long time,” he said. Later, he warned that biological pest controls could spread to effect beneficial as well as harmful insects. As an example, he cited chemicals that interfer with the normal development of an insect’s external skeleton. These chemicals are a help in controlling orchard pests but could prove damaging if spread accidentally to a bee hive. Some second generation chemicals have proved to be unexpectedly toxic to many organisms, Johnson continued. Residue from DDT used to combat Dutch Elm disease went from the leaves that fell from the trees to earthworms and caused death in birds that ate the worms. Likewise, DDT used to control mosquitoes on a California lake showed up in ever increasing concentrations in first plankton, then fish and reached lethal levels of concentration in the birds that fed on the fish. “We were not prepared for the persistence” of hydrocarbons like DDT, said Johnson. Science was also not prepared for the world wide spread of some of these chemical residues either, Johnson continued. He reported that DDT had been fou. d in the liver oil of sharks caught 500 miles out at sea and in the fat of penguins and caribou in the arctic regions. However, he noted that decreased use of DDT i had resulted ,»n a drop in the residue found in humans from 13 to five parts per million. Johnson acknowledged that industrial and individual carelessness chemical use is becoming more controlled. He maintained that the outlook for the future was improved thanks to better education for chemical applicators, better equipment and better technique in using chemical controls. "We’re moving in the right direction but we’re moving slowly...Complete reliance on chemicals is not promising for the future,” he concluded.

PCP: Latest Bad Guy Qn Local Drug Scenes (Continued from Page 1) eight hour trip,” Lesley said. LSD is colorless, odorless and tasteless in its pure form and can be put on sugar cubes, tiny pieces of paper or into liquids — in any shape that can be taken orally. There are two things bad with LSD, according to Lasley. It can cause a psychotoxic reaction — “go crazy and don’t come back” — and it can cause flashbacks, another "trip for free” that can occur without additional use. Lasley said he had personal knowledge of flashback trips occurring two years later, had been told of flashbacks after 10 years and had read they could occur 40 years after initial LSD use. When asked if LSD use causes genetic damage, Bob Trainer answered that there had been a great hue and cry to this effect a couple of years ago. However, he added that the charge was unverified. PCP Or Killer Weed PCP, an animal tranquilizer that can be easily NEW IDEAStN CANVAS AND ALUMINUM AWNINGS Discover the many wonderful ways for adding charm and dlatlnction to your home or office. Call for an appointment to see our imaginative designs in smart colors. 347-1941 y\f\oniqomeru SU.& .A, wm 22. produced in a home laboratory by someone who’s taken high school chemistry, is seeing wider abuse in Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties, according to Lesley. “Users say it deadens their minds and their bodies,” he told the audience. Produced in liquid form, PCP is sprayed on parsley and smoked or made into tiny pills that currently sell in Culpeper for $3 apiece, Lasley continued. PCP users can suffer some effects in speech, coordination and thought that last for as long as five years after use is stopped, he reported. “It’s kind of an ‘in drug’ this year,” said Trainer, and use is growing prevelant here partially because Washington, D.C. is one of the largest PCP producing areas in the country. “It’s a particularly nasty drug,” he warned, and affects different people in different ways. After discovery as an animal tranquilizer, PCP was tried on human beings but discarded when doctors couldn’t stabilize the dosage. “What calmed one person made another do rather bizatre things,” said Trainer. With small doses of one to five milligrams, users have no problems, said Trainer. Heavy dosage, however, can produce symptoms identical to schizophrenia. The extreme dangers involved with PCP abuse lie in the fact that kids never know how big a dose of the drug they’re getting, Trainer said. “Over long periods of time, it tends to change people’s personalities,” he continued. Symptoms of PCP abuse can include broken sleep patterns, different ways of relating to family members and new sets of friends. But, Trainer cautioned, any or all of these symptoms don’t necessarily point to drug abuse. “You have to know your child or know your friend,” he said, adding that any kind of drug abuse was hard to spot. Barbituates, sleeping pills, pain killers and tranquilizers act on the central nervous system. “You usually have them right in your own medicine cabinet,” said Lasley. He warned that these drugs are very dangerous, particularly when taken in combination with alcohol. The effects of both alcohol and barbituates are doubled when the two are used together. Barbituates come in all shapes, sizes and colors and cause physical as well as mental habits, Lasley said. “It’s estimated that 40 per cent of all barbituate addicts are housewives,” stated Bob Trainer. The body easily developes a tolerance to barbituates and withdrawal can be. a very dangerous thing, he warned. During Budget OKed For Title I (Continued from Page 1) he anticipated basically the same amount of federal funds for the 1978-79 Title I programs as the county received in the current year. He noted that the director, teachers and aides would receive the same overall 6.8 per cent salary increase awarded to the rest of the school personnel. Currently, there are seven Title I aides. Next year’s proposed budget allows for only six. A full-time aide will be assigned to the elementary math and reading labs and to the highs school reading lab, according to Bloomer. In addition, the single Title I first grade class will have an aide for instructional duties half day and for clerical duties the other half. Both second grade Title I sections will share an aide and the aide for the third grade Title 1 class will divide her time between clerical and instructional duties. FAUQUIErt! LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE Rt. 55/709, Marshall 364-1566 • REGULAR TUESDAY SALE State Graded Fat Cattle Sale 1st & 3rd Tues. of Every Month The amount allocated for aides in the 1978-79 proposed budget is S5.300 less than in the current budget. Bloomer noted that most of the difference had been applied to cover an increase in the allotment for teaching materials. School Board member Walter Masterson asked if there was any “spin off from Title I programs to programs for the handicapped. Bloomer answered that handicapped children could not be included in Title I classes. Federal regulations restrict Title I funding to classes that are not mandated. Funds may be used to "supplement but not supplant," Bloomer explained. He added that Title I funds also can not be used to cover special remedial programs that may have to be implemented to bring high school students up to minimum competency testing levels. Multi-Level Diaplomaa Moving to another topic, Mrs. Hobson asked Dr. Bloomer if learning disabled or educable mentally retarded children will have to meet the same criteria as normal children when competency testing for graduation is begun. Bloomer answered that current opinion was divided between the options of allowing handicapped children to take the competency test if they desired or of not giving them a test at all. "I think the first option will be adopted,” he added. Bloomer continued that it now looked like multi-leveled diplomas would be instituted following the start of competency testing. Students who cannot pass the competency test will be given a certificate of at tendance for finishing high school. Those students who have taken courses to equip themselves to enter the labor force following graduation will receive a “world of work” diploma, and college bound students who have taken preparatory courses will get a “college” diploma, Bloomer predicted. Bloomer also noted that courses taken by students during their high school career will probably be printed on the back of any type of diploma awarded. “I anticipate a commercially prepared test,” at least for the first few years, he added. Separate tests will not be prepared by individual school systems, Bloomer said, since the General Assembly mandated a test prescribed by the state Board of Education. Instead of measuring student performance on competency tests against a state or national norm, Bloorqer said he expected “criterion reference” to be used. Students would be expected to master skills in functional literacy and match computation and would either meet or not meet minimum standards. Sharon Kilpatrick asked how the primary program would be handled with only one Title I class next year instead of two. Currently, first graders who do not progress to normal second grade level after a year in Title I class are held over for a second year in a more advanced first grade title I class. Mrs. Kilpatrick asked if kindergarten students would be retained to allow them more time to catch up to normal grade level. Bloomer replied that the administration was currently working on primary programs for the coming year and hadn’t as yet decided what approach to adopt.

I withdrawal, “you feel lousy...Your nervous system goes crazy (causing) convultions, strokes and heart attacks...It can kill you.” “Alcohol,” Trainer continued, “is a liquid barbituate.” Withdrawal from alcohol can also kill, he added. “I consider alcohol to be the worse drug in the country. It’s legal, it’s taken for granted and its addiction dangers are minimized.” Superintendent of Schools William Bloomer reported that it was his impression alcohol use was on the upswing in Rappahannock schools while use of other drugs had dropped off. "There’s less of a hassle going with the accepted ranks,” he explained. Trainer agreed that the legality of alcohol probably added to its increased use by young people. Besides, he said, “mom and dad drink. What could be more American?” Lasley briefly covered mescaline, methamphetamines, cocaine and heroin—drugs that are all relatively rare in the county. He also warned against sniffing glue, paint thinners, hair sprays or any of the other things kids stick their noses into these days. “Don’t do it. It can kill you,” he cautioned. Trainer noted that the success rate for breaking a heroin habit was only three per cent. “You never run into a physical addiction (with heroin) that lasts longer than a week. It’s the psychological addiction that lasts a life time.” Parent Reaction Parents tend to deny that any kind of drug problem exists with their child, according to Trainer. “I’ve seen every kind of reaction from ‘I’ll buy it for you, Johnny’ to ‘Get the hell out of here’. Both are equally destructive,” he warned parents. In treating drug problems, Trainer said he generally tried to involve the entire family in the therapeutic process. Parents who suspect their child might be using drugs can call directly to the Culpeper or Fauquier Mental Health Clinic to set up an appointment with a substance abuse counselor. “You don’t have to be referred,’’ he added. Peer group pressure is usually the biggest reason why teenagers try drugs, according to Trainer. "Also it feels good and it’s exciting,” he said. "What do you tell your kid about drugs? That’s a rough question when he probably knows more about drugs than you do,” Trainer continued. “We’re a drug oriented society...a drug taking^ society. Kids are brought up that way.” “You’ve got to start early, teaching drug values,” he advised. “You can’t pretend it doesn’t exist.” Parents have to say, yes it’s around and ask their child how he is going to relate to it. There’s no way the average kid is not going to come into contact with drugs, he warned. Children have to be prepared so that when they first encounter drugs, it won’t be some new thing, Trainer said. “Scare stories have been proven to be totally unsuccessful,” he cautioned, because kids know enough other kids who’ve tried drugs without an unpleasant experience. “One thing we have to remember about all these drugs is that they make you feel good and that’s why people take them,” Trainer said, adding that users counterbalanced the risks in drug abuse against these good feelings. In answer to a question on how drug problems are handled in the Rappahannock schools. Bloomer answered that it depended on two factors — the amount and the drug itself. When a student is discovered with an illegal drug, the school's first responsibility is to notify the child’s parents. If the drug is hard to identify, the police are called in. "Then we follow either legal proceedings or counseling depending on the situation,’ Bloomer concluded. Bloomer acknowledged that there was no program currently in Rappahannock schools to teach teachers what to be on the look-out for in relation to drugs or to teach them the difference between a marijuana plant and a tomato plant. “This possibly could be approached through in-service training,” he concluded.

Producers who participate in the Wheat set-aside program can receive payment for grazing or haying wheat that was planted for harvest. The payment rate is .50 times the established wheat yield for the farm, times the acres on which the payment is made. Producers who participate in the Feed Grain Set-Aside Program will receive a payment for diverting additional acreage equal to 10 per cent of their planted acreage. The acreage planted to feed grains (corn, barley, or grain sorghum) cannot exceed the 1977 plantings for the crop. Payment will be .20 for corn and .12 for barley and grain sorghum, times the farm established yield, times the actual acreage for harvest. In all cases the wheat and feed grain acres cannot exceed the Normal Crop Acreage (NCA) for the farm. If a producer decides to participate in either of these payment programs, one-half of the payment will be made in advance, at the time of signup. For more information concerning the Set-Aside Program contact the ASCS office. All grain producers are urged to attend the public meeting, Wednesday, April 19, 1978 at 7:30 p.m. at the Flint Hill Fire House to discuss the Set-Aside Program. DeBerghs Have Son Mr. and Mrs. James DeBergh of Washington are the parents of a son, James Van Lowen DeBergh III, born Friday, April 7, 1978, in Warren Memorial Hospital.
