Special Lessons For Special Kids By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New# Staff Writer Ester Settle is giving some special youngsters at Rappahannock Elementary School a very special gift. She’s giving them the opportunity to learn a skill that most so-called normal children will never master, a skill that they can demonstrate with pride to their family, friends and classmates. Two days a week. Ester spends 45 minutes with retared youngsters in Betsy Coffey’s special education class, teaching them sign language. Since she began in October, the kids have progressed from the English sign alphabet to expressing complex ideas and emotions with their hands. They welcomed a visitor on Tuesay, simulanteously signing ‘‘We are happy to have you here with us.” So proud of their accomplishments that they could hardly contain themselves, they took turns demonstrating their talents, eyes dancing with pleasure and grining widely from ear to ear. ‘‘Helen Keller said of her two handicaps, loss of hearing was the hardest to deal with because of the difficultuies the deaf have in communicating,” Ester said. “We live for communication with others.” Ester began signing IS years ago. The family’s first child, Cheryl, now 21, was 19 months old when the Settle’s discovered their baby was deaf. “If she hadn’t been our first, we would have found out a lot earlier,” Ester said. To learn to communicate with her daughter, Ester took classes for a year in Staunton, Virginia, before Lord Fairfax Community College, a lot closer to home, began sign language courses. "it's an accepted language given for college credit,” Ester noted, pointing out that sign language is international. It teaches barriers between people of different nations besides breaking down barriers of communication for the deaf., ' There are no deaf children*, in Betsy Coffey's special education class. Betsy explained that one of her students has a motor problem with her tongue. “She has the right ideas but often her speech is not understood. We began signing to give Kim another means of communication,” Betsv said. Kim’s mother and grandmother regularly attend the 45 minute sessions on sign language so they can practice with her at home. In addition. Betsy keeps Kim as the focal point of the lessons to ensure that the child is given what she needs to be understood. The lessons on signing do more than offer Kim an alternative to verbal communication. “All of us love it. Everybody looks forward to the lessons. It’s better than PE!” Betsy laughed. She said with more seriousness that learning to sign has expanded both her and speech teacher Kathy Doughterty’s awareness of the problems deaf peple must face. Betsy added that she plans to continue lessons in sign language on her own past the instruction offered by Mrs. Settle. "It’s a good system of language. 1 think it's a shame that only the deaf use it, that only deaf people can communicate with others who are deaf,” she said. Logical System “For hearing people, sign language is easy to learn if they can remember why we use a certain sign. Most have ideas behind them,” Ester lUftlained, . .The motions are logical. Hand movements of milking a cow signify “milk.” Little fingers wiggled like horns on top of the head mean “cow.” A hand pulled out away from the face with an imaginary whisker between the thumb and forefinger is “cat.” “Hamburger” is the motion of hands making a patty. For cereal, the left hand cups into a bowl while the right hand makes the shape of a “C” and goes from bowl to mouth. For "girl," the hand follows an invisible bonnet ribbon down the cheek. For “boy,” it holds a cap brim between two fingers at the top of the head. It all makes sense. The signs are easy to remember once the association is made. And the kids are a whiz. “I want some cereal for brakfast in the morning,” is child’s play for their quick fingers. They can add ‘with lots of sugar” or change the order to eggs, bacon and toast. As teaching materials. Ester Ester uses special coloring books donated by the Rappahannock Women’s Club. Each child has two of their own—one on food and the other on the community. (Continued on Page 2) Over 200 Run Fodderstack Chris Flavin of Washington, D.C., nipped 20 seconds off last year’s winning time in the Fodderstack Gassic six mile race Saturday. Flavin broke the tape in front of the court house in Washington 35 minutes and 8 seconds after the starter’s gun went off in Flint Hill. * Second in the field of 222 entries was John Devlin with a time of 35:39 followed by Frank Reynolds in 37:13. The Eva L. Smith Memorial award for the first Rappahannock finishers went to former RCHS track star Charlie Thomas of Sperryville in the men’s division and Mary O’Meara of Sperryville in the women’s. The first woman to complete the course was Katy Judd with a time of 47:34. Judd clipped 14 seconds off her winning time in last year’s Fodderstack Gassic in repeating her victory. Charges Against Mannion Dismissed The last of charges brought by Myrtle F. Corbin in a S2.S million lawsuit against the Rappahannock County sheriffs department have been thrown out of court. Chief U.S. District Judge James C. Turk dismissed the case against deputy sheriff and jailor John Mannion on April 8. Earlier, Sheriff W. A. Buntin and Rappahannock County were dismissed as defendants in an order entered on December 11. 1979. Mrs. Corbin filed the action on behalf of her son, Bobby Lee Corbin, who died December 26, 1978, of injuries he sustained in an automobile accident while driving under the influence of alcohol on Christmas Day. Following the accident, he was taken to the county jail and held from 6:30 p.m. on the 25th until 10:30 a.m. the next day. He collapsed shortly after his release and died a few hours later in Warren Memorial Hospital. In her suit, Mrs. Corbin alleged that the defendants—the county. Sheriff Buntin and deputy Mannion—failed to provide her son with proper medical treatment while he was in custody. She charged that actions in denying or refusing medical treatment were the cause of Corbin’s death. In his April 8th memorandum opinion. Judge Turk noted that Corbin was offered medical assistance at the scene of the accident on the 25th by both Virginia State Police Trooper Harry Newlin and by a member of the rescue squad but “steadfastly refused” help. While being processed and given a blood alcphol test at the jail Corbin never asked for any kind of medical help, according to Mannion’s testimony reported in the Judge’s memorandum. In addition, Corbin was also asked by magistrate Frances Eldred if he wanted any medical help but once again steadfastly refused, the memorandum reported. "Additionally, defendant Mannion avers that during this entire time Mr. Corbin was talking coherently and showed no signs of physical or medical distress,” Judge Turk wrote. Squadsman Called Ronald Hawkins, member of the Washington Rescue Squad, who was also called to the jail that night by Mannion, asked Corbin twice if he wanted to go to the hospital or to see a doctor and was twice refused, according to the memorandum. Additionally Hawkins did not recall Corbin being in apparent physical distress and maintained that force would have been required if an attempt had been made to take Corbin for medical treatment, the memorandum stated. At her son’s release from jail at approximately 9:30 a.m. on December 26, Mrs. Corbin alleged that he was in “terrible physical condition.” However, instead of taking Corbin immediately to a hospital, his mother took him home, Judge Turk noted. After some time passed, she called the rescue squad and Corbin was taken to Front Royal Hospital where he died shortly after arrival, according to the memorandum. While noting the prisoners are entitled to reasonable medical care. Judge Turk ruled that no constitutional deprivation occurred in Corbin’s case because treatment was offered but refused by the inmate. In dismissing Mrs. Corbin’s suit, Turk concluded that Mannion’s actions did not constitute deliberate indifference. Instead, Turk maintained, Mannion was "particularly solicitous” of Corbin’s physical condition. In a letter to Mannion, John C. Lowe, Charlottesville attorney who represented the jailor, acknowledged that it is possible for the Corbins to appeal Turk’s order but maintained it is highly unlikely that they will do so. "Justice has triumphed, once again,” Lowe concluded.—D.H.

Evaluation Team Cites Space Needs By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nfw» Staff Writer At a meeting with the RCHS faculty last Friday afternoon, the state’s visiting evaluation committee on high school accreditation gave its preliminary report. The committee members heaped praise on teachers, administrators and students in presentations on different sections of the evaluation, including educational program, staff, school facilities, transportation, health, food, student and learning media services. They complimented students, teachers and administrators for the mutual respect shown each other and for excellent relationships, noting that the school is unusually tension free, rhe committee comended the instructional staff for flexibility and creativity; the students and faculty for morale, friendliness and pride in RCHS; the administration for experience and background and all three groups for their adjustment to crowded conditions at the high school. Areas recommended for improvement included many of the points raised in 1976, 1979 and 1980 studies on capital outlay as well as items covered in annual requests presented by teachers and citizens during budget meetings. The visiting committee’s preliminary report suggested expansion of classroom space, study of an equitable pay scale for sponsors of extra-curricular activities, study of employment policies in light of the high teacher turnover rate, additional course offerings, greater flexibility in curriculum, additional clerical help, employment of a school nurse, isolation of students who are taken ill during the school day, scheduling of an additional lunch period until the cafeteria is enlarged, fire* proof record storage, an effective maintenance program with emphasis on preventive maintenance, expansion of library and guidance departments and correction of hazardous conditions including an adequate, workable fire alarm system.

Orleans in 1885, became the leading “Professor” in the Storyville District and then began traveling. He wrote a tune about every place he visited. With his two hundred dollar suits and his small diamond in his front tooth, he wrote so many good tunes and invented so many jazz devices that he fashioned almost single handed, an entire musical literature. In Chicago they called him “Dr. Jazz”. With the depression. Jelly found himself just another leader without a band. After years of being penniless, he nevertheless heard other bands playing his tunes on late night radio.

Oil Spill Closes Marina Damage caused by the recent oil spill and the subsequent cleanup operations have prompted the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority to keep Bull Run Marina closed for the remainder of this year. “We can’t invite the public to the park until extensive repairs and cleanup are done,” said Darrell Winslow, executive director of the Regional Park Authority. “The banks of the stream and the beach afre black with oil in spots and the smell is offensive.” Bull Run Marina was used as a headquarters for the oil spill cleanup operations. “The big trucks and heavy equipment cracked and damaged the road and ramp,” Winslow said. “It’ll take some time to get the park back to normal.” Meantime, visitors who fish and boat on the Occoquan are being directed to Fountainhead Regional Park, six miles downstream at the widest point of the lake. Fountainhead was not damaged by the spill and the bass are biting there, Winslow said.

Qm tfAlTOI mm I FLEXIBLE MORTGAGE There s a new type of mortgage loan which would tailor the payment schedule to the borrower’s needs and abilities. ' Instead of level payments for the life of the loan, payments could be smaller for one period and larger for another period depending on your future earning prospects. Under the proposed regulations, the borrower and lender would negotiate the repayment schedule as long as each payment would cover interest costs and would be on a fully amortized basis after eight years. Thus, a young couple could arrange smaller payments during the initial years of the term or an elderly couple could have smaller payments following retirement. As an example, take a 30-year mortgage where the normal monthly principal and interest payment would be approximately $220. Using the flexible payment plan, the borrower could pay as little as $200 per month for the first eight years, then $240 for the remainder of the term. This type of home loan is being phased in on a state by state process. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY. REALTOR.

Member, Audit Bureau Of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 24,1980 Pesticides Threaten Honey Crop By LYT Vt OOD County Forr»trr John Amberson, a beekeeper in the Castleton area, was forced to relocate 20 of his honeybee hives late Friday. Amberson had observed an abnormally high honeybee mortality among his colonies that afternoon. Apparent cause was an ahead-ofschedule application of insecticide to an alfalfa field on a neighboring farm. The hasty relocation of. Amberson’s hives was an attempt to preserve his prospects for a 1980 honey crop and the future health of his colonies. Fortunately. five of Amberson's 25 hives had been moved to a temporary location near Rock Mills a few days prior to the incident. The remaining 20 hives were transported to the Parrish farm near the Thornton River. The hasty relocation operation extended to early morning hours on Saturday. hverything looks good was Amberson’s comment on Monday, indicating that the rescue attempt was probably successful. Furan (trade name for carbofuran) was the likely suspect for the poisoning. Application of Furadan was for control of alfalfa weevil larvae, which can be very destructive to fbrage crops. Alfalfa doesn't bloom until summer months. Amberson attributed the presence of “Field bees” - worker honeybees which gather nectar and pollen - to dandelion, winter cress, and other early flowering weeks in the alfalfa field. The effect of Furadan on insects is acute. Therefore, it’s unlikely that the chemical will be distributed among other bees within the hives, according to Jim Grove, Madison County Extension Agent. Grove surmised that the handfuls of dead bees in front of Amberson’s hives were killed by direct contact with the insecticide at the time of application. Longterm or accumulative poisoning within the hives would unlikely, he said. Nonetheless, Furadan is a potent insecticide. Relocation of Amberson’s hives was advised by the Extension Service. Roy Heltzel, County Agent for Culpeper County, indicated that the label instructions for Furadan include the warning: “DO NOT MOVE BEES INTO ALFALFA FIELDS WITHIN 7 DAYS OF APPLICATION.” Natural Pollination Activity Because of the paramount importance of bees in fruit trees, forage crops, food crop and wild plant pollination, Grove urges close cooperation and continuous communication among local pesticide users and beekeepers. in regard to pesticide application, he list three areas of concern: orchards, forage crops, and (surprisingly) homeowners. Routine applications in these three situations are chronic troublemakers, when there is carelessness or lack of communication. Orchard spraying is perhaps the most common chemical hazard to honey production in this area. According to Grove, routine early-season spraying is done to attept to minimize damage from mites and various insects, including aphids, leafhoppers and leaf rollers. All of these applications should be done prior to fruit tree blooming, during the bloom, spraying is normally limited to fungicides. Post-bloom spraying is routinely carried out for curculio (which causes “catface" fruit) and codling moth. Grove reiterated that insecticide spraying should be restricted to pre- and postblooming. "But even then we still see problems,” he said, due presence of dandelions and other flowers blooming underneath the fruit trees. Regarding forage-crop insecticide poisoning. Grove suggested a simple prevention measure: Spray late in the evening, when most of the field bees are “at home.” Still, close communication with beekeepers is paramount, because of possible residual effects of insecticides. Federal Indemnity Program "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”—or. to a beekeeper, many pounds of honey, and possibly his grocery money as well. But in cases of accidental pesticide bee kills (as determined by state inspection, a beekeeper may qualify for payments under a federal indemnity program. Tom Taylor, Rappahannock's County Executive Director, said that since its inception in 1970, the Beekeeperss Indemnity Program has made payments totalling $34 million in 48 states. Current rates of reimbursement are $22.50 per colony destroyed, $15.00 per colony severely damaged. $7.50 per colony moderately damaged, and $7.50 per queen nucleus destroyed. The “Colony Destroyed” reimbursement will hardly even pay for a new colony of bees. Amberson, who serves as president of the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association, said that the current price for a 3 pound package of bees is $24.25. The program does not include allowances for honey crop loses, or expenses associated with sanitation and colony re-establishment. Despite these inadequacies, Taylor explained that there is a proposal before the Secretary of Agriculture to discontinue the program, effective May 15, 1980. Comments regarding this proposal may be addressed to Bob Cook, ASCS-EIPD. USDA, P. O. Box 2415, Washington, D. C. 20013. Note: Comments must be received prior to April 29. Mutual Agricultural Benefits Local honey production is symobiotic with other local agriculture. Honey is a healthful and economically important crop, and pollination activities of honeybees are highly benefical to fruit and forage crops. Prevention is undoubtedly the best solution when dealing with potential poisoning problems. Cooperation, communication and communityspirit are the best answers.

Size is of little help. The animal in the center, six and a half months old, is an example of the Chianina-Angus cross Parrish advocates as the wave of the future for beef producers. The heifer is flanked on both sides by full grown Angus cows. Our Rappahannock Heritage Parrish Breeds Chianina Hamburger, Not Sirloin By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff .Writer Traditionally, Virginia’s pastures are dotted with the red of Hereford and the black of Angus, the two most popular breeds among cattlemen in the Commonwealth. Chris Parrish hasn’t broken completely with that tradition. The calves running around the fields on his family’s Castleton farm are black but they’re the result of an innovative approach to cross breeding—a mix of Angus mothers with a Chianina bull that has produced giant-sized youngsters. At six and a half months, the calves born in the first part of October stand just ah inch or so shorter than their Angus mothers. Their Chianina heritage has sent them spurting past their smaller field mates, offspring of the Parrish’s Angus bull.?? “I feel real comfortkbfe saying they’ll easily weigh 100 pounds more than my Angus calves,’’ Parrish said. "Even if they bring a few cents less per pound. I’ll still be way ahead of the game." Chianinas are still relatively rare in the U.S. The huge Italian breed, the largest cattle breed in the world, was introduced into this country in the early 1970’s, according to Parrish. Somoza’s Boll He met his first representative at a stock sale in San Salvador. At the sale, a monstrous bull weighing 3,000 pounds was purchased by Nicaraguan dictator Antonio Somoza from a Canadian breeder. “There are rumors of a tremendous price,” Parrish said. Reports he heard had the animal going for anywhere from $100,000 to $1,000,000—a lot of money for a lot of bull. “He looked very good,” Parrish added. The super bull of San Salvador sparked Parrish’s interest. Later, while accompanying four plane loads of dairy cattle to a sale in Costa Rica, he met a fellow Angus breeder. “That’s unusual in Costa Rica,” Parrish explained, noting that heat and ticks combine to make the country’s low lands fit for practically nothing but Brahma cattle. “He believed ChianinaAngus was the best crossbreed for today’s world,” Parrish said. The stranger, on his way to a Chianina convention in Brazil, sold the Castleton farmer on his idea. Parrish returned to Virginia, convinced to give Chianinas a try. “1 thought I’d have to go a long way to find a bull but I lucked out,” Instead of a trek to Italy, the breed’s native country, or to Canada or South America, where Chianinas have recently become very popular, Parrish had only to drive cross county to neighboring Fauquier. There, at Whitewood Farm just outside The Plains, he picked out a three-quarter Chianina-onequarter Brown Swiss from manager Gordon Schubert’s stock. Despite the white* hide that marks a Chianina, Schubert assured Parrish that the offspring of his new bull with Angus mothers would turn out black. Out of 35 calves dropped last fall at the Parrish farm, only a couple have red coats. The rest look just like Angus but with bigger frames. Angus Traits Prized Parrish emphasized that he doesn’t want to lose the traits characteristic of the black Angus. “Angus has got to be the best all-round breed,” he said, pointing to exceptional fertility, mothering^ ability, feed ef&oienay 4iad > case of calving. “I crossbred with Chianfha' because I wanted to add frame,” he explained. Chianinas * were raised originally as a veal breed, according to Parrish. “The calves get so big so fast,” he said explaining that their size made it highly profitable to slaughter the young animals at an early age. But who can afford veal today unless their last name is Rockefeller? “We’re becoming more and more of a hamburger society,” Parrish said. “The majority of the meat consumed in the U.S. today is in the form of hamburger,” he reported. So his Chianina cross is a sign of the times, ideally suited for today’s dietary trends and the “Give Yourself a Break Today” mentally fostered by McDonalds. “It’s a hamburger breed,” Parrish said. He explained that in a Chianina-Angus cross, the best cuts are sacrificed. The meat’s still there—it just lacks the marbling necessary for quality steaks and roats. It’s perfect for grinding into hamburger, however, and plenty of it. “It's the wave of the future,” Parrish maintained. Weighed on his hog scales at 2Vi months, heifers topped 245 pounds and the steers averaged 270 pounds, Parrish -reported. No Calving Problems In embarking on his crossbreeding program, Parrish’s only concern was over the possible loss of calves through birthing problems. Experience showed his fears to be unfounded. “I didn’t lose a one out of 35 calves,” he noted with pride. “That’s with Angus mothers,” Parrish added. He attributed the lack of calving difficulties to the Chianina’s narrow shoulders (Continued on Page 10) _ _ —Rappahannock NtwiPhoio MANAGEMENT IS THE KEY—Chris Parrish discounts the contention that cattlemen who breed Chianinas must raise farm fences up to six feet to keep the longer, taller animals contained. Managing the cattle so they stay contented is the key to keeping Chianinas from going over or Angus from going through fences. Parrish demonstrates how placid his herd is by approaching to within a few feet holding grass in his outstretched hand to keep the animals’ attention. The Little Fox Letters Praise For Concerts To the editor: When I’m traveling through the country, 1 always pick up a local paper which, in a small way, helps me feel the pulse of the local community. Every word interests me, including the classifieds! 1 One can get many pluses and minuses of a community through the local paper. School Boafd, Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission meetings get a great deal of copy everywhere. I was quite suprised to read that one of your school board members thinks no teacher gains anything from experience after five years of teaching. On the more positive side, I must comment on your local support of the Community Concert Association. In our inflated economy, I know of nothing that provides so much for so little: $30 for three concerts for an entire family, $12 for an adult, $18 for head of family, $6 for a student. So much for so little! By this summer, one ticket for one musical in New York will be $30. What a bargain Community Concerts offer, brining professional entertainers on stage to you. A big compliment should go to the individuals in the county who are providing the pupils of your schools this cultural experience. As you may have suspected, 1 have been a subscriber to Community Concerts for many years and consider myself very fortunate to have the opportunity. My best wishes to all the people in your beautiful county. WYATT FRANKLIN Arlington Race A Success To the editor: The 1980 Fodderstack 10KM Classic was a success again this year due in large part to all the cooperation and support given by residents and businesses in the community.

A UUI U A 7W Clean-up Costs High In Rappahannock Costs of litter clean-up on Rappahannock’s primary and secondary roads totalled $7,813 last year, according to statistics released by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. Litter expenses for other neighboring counties in the Culpeper District were $5,818 for Orange, $4,652 for Madison, $5,633 for Culpeper and $10,5% for Fauquier. Total for the 13 counties in the district amounted to $211,475. Asked why cost for Rappahannock’s litter cleanup appeared so high compared to other, larger counties, resident highway engineer Don Askew maintained that the figures weren’t a true or fair indication of actual expense. In many instances, he explained, dean-up is carried out along with other highway work and charged to maintenance costs. In addition, Askew noted, prison work crews are not used for litter clean-up in Rappahannock County. Other .personnel are paid a higher hourly rate than what the state penitentiary department charges the local highway department per prisoner, he added. Litter clean-up statewide cost Virginia taxpayers more than $1.3 million in 1978-79. In the past five years, highway litterbugs have cost the state S6.319.42S. The money spent on litter pickup last year could have paid for surface treatment (sprayed with oil and covered with crushed rock) on 308 miles of two-lane road; or for 223 miles treated with slurry seal (a mixture of oil and fine stone), or for 52 miles resurfaced with blacktop, according to C. O. Leigh, the department’s maintenance engineer. The department’s report of litter collection costs came as its maintenance forces engaged in the annual spring cleanup in connection with the state’s 47th Historic Garden Week celebration April 19-27. In addition to its unsightly appearance, roadside litter also can be a safety hazard, Leigh said. Paper and other trash blown about by the wind may distract a motorist or obscure a driver’s vision. Discarded cans and bottles also present a serious safety problem, Leigh said, especially when maintenance employees start mowing the roadsides. The trash can be picked up by the blades of the larger mowers and be thrown towards highway traffic. Leigh suggested travelers could help with the costly MEMBERS of the Rappahannock Lions Chib will operate specialized equipment to give free preliminary vision and hearing tests to residents of the county when the Lions of Virginia mobile screening van visits Rappahannock April 28 through Mav Sursum Cords School and Day Care Canter, Inc. wishes to express its deep appreciation to all patrons for making the 1980 Spaghetti Dinner fund-raising dinner a success.

More than 1,400 such receptacles are provided by the department for litter disposal and signs on the roadways point out their locations. —Encouraging the establishment and use of adequate local refuse disposal facilities if they aren’t already provided. This would help in eliminating household garbage being thrown in and around the state’s roadside receptacles, which are not designed for that purpose.

Helmer Leads Girls To Scouting Adventures By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Non Staff Writer Pat Helmer, leader of Rappahannock’s Cadette Girl Scout troop, will send three of her charges and senior leader Janet DeRoo off this summer for a whirlwind round of scouting adventures. Bubbly and irrepressible, Pat’s the secret behind the success of the county’s scouting program for older girls. She’s the reason why five of the seven girls from the nine county association promoted to first class scouts last Sunday were from Rappahannock County. Scouting is generally considered a program for little girls. Once the little girls turn into young ladies, most view badges and the Girl Scout Promise as kids' stuff, lacking the “with it” sophistication of more grownup pursuits. Despite scouting’s “square" image, Pat Helmer has kept her 13 youngsters proud and happy to be Girl Scouts. “They’ve had to contend with an awful lot of peer pressure,” Pat acknowledged. But, she said, her girls have stood up for their ideals and values, not buckling under just because “everybody else is doing it.” “They’re embarrassed about wearing their uniforms to school so I don’t push it,” Pat continued. When the group is out in public as a Scout troop, however, she insists that the girls dress and dress right with sashes, badges, pins—the works. “I’ve demanded it from the very beginning so it’s almost second nature by now. They don’t complain.” Not Craftay She's tailored activities to fit the troop’s interests, “it seems to meet what they want. We don’t do crafts. Maybe a little project for Mother’s Day but that’s about it. I don’t like crafts and they don’t like crafts,” she laughed. Instead, Pat’s Cadettes like going places. "They travel on their stomachs. They love it. I take them everywhere.” she said. Last summer, it was New York City, New Jersey and Philadelphia. This year, it's been a nine mile bike hike on the Skyline Drive. There’s a trip to North Carolina planned for May and in between, there’s camping. “We do a lot of camping in as many different places as we can—a lot of primitive camping where they have to make the things they need. We’ve used a lot of Boy Scout help. They just taught us how to make peach cobbler in a cast iron pot in a hole. They love to do things with the Boy Scouts,” Pat said, adding that her Cadettes and a local Boy Scout troop are going to start disco dance lessons with Lilo Foster next week as a special project. I put up with them and they put up with me,” she said, affection for her girls written on her face and in her voice. “They’re happy just as long as I feed them well.” Pat added jokingly. She’s been working with her girls for seven years. 'Tve been with these kids from Brownies on through. 1 took over this group in second grade. When they moved up, I moved up with them.” Pat said. “Now they need a break,” she added, explaining that she’ll stay on with Cadettes and hand her charges over to Janet DeRoo for senior scouting. First Class Charilenge In their last big step as Cadettes, five girls from Pat’s troop advanced to first class scouts in ceremonies held last Sunday. In order to make first class, roughly the equivalent of Eagle rank in Boy Scouts, the girls completed four challenges and six badges in arts, out-of-doors, health and safety, citizenship, international understanding and home.

JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTIONEERING SERVICE Washington, Virginia (675-3325) Rappahannock New* pkoto/Sana Hoff FIRST CLASS SCOUTS HONORED SUNDAY in a ceremony at Washington are Gwen Jordan, Shannon Streagle, Debbie Hebner, Wendy Helmer and Susan Dennis. First Class is the highest honor a Girl Scout can attain. These Cadettes have been directed by Pat Helmer of Castleton who has been a dedicated leader. Pat explained that in the challenge program, the girls themselves decide what they want to learn and set up requirements and a course of study. “Then, when they’re ready, they say ‘Okay, test us’ and we have to come up with some sort of comprehensive exam to test what they’ve learned,” she said. “One challenge must be the challenge of the Girl Scout promise,” Pat continued. “The girls sat down as a group, thought about what their values are, what scouting means.” After the kids talked among themselves, they went individually before a board of adults, composed of Grace Sims, Diane Pendleton, Mary Botts Quaintance and Helen Holschuh. They really put the girls through a gruelling 20 minute interview,” Pat reported, explaining that the questions were designed to show if the youngsters understood and lived up day-today to the Girl Scout promise. “Then, as the last part of the challenge, the girls put on a ceremony to express how they ffelt about seouting,” Pat said. She added that all five of her Cadettes came through the interview with flying colors, convincing the panel that they could live as well as recite the scouting creed. Summer Adventures This summer. Shannon Streagle and Pat’s daughters Wendy and Debbie will face a different kind of challenge. Along with senior leader Janet DeRoo, they’ll head out across the country for special scouting adventures. Wendy will be a participant and Janet an adult leader for “Voyager’s Rendezvous.” They’ll drive to Fort William in Ontario, Canada, where theyll spend six days eating, sleeping and breathing the 1860’s. “We’ll Host Families Needed For Youth Exchange Two European teenage girts will meet the people and enjoy the natural beauty of Rappahannock County this summer, thanks to the International Lions Club Youth Exchange program. Dr. and Mrs. William Young will open their home near Castieton to a girl from Helsinki, Finland, and Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Monahan will host a girl from Copenhagen, Denmark, in their home near Boston, Va. Both girls are expected' to arrive in late June for about five weeks in Rappahannock. Other host families are also needed to provide homes for other young people expected this summer. Boys and girls aged 16 through 20 are coming to Virginia from their homelands of Belgium, Denmark, Finlafidl and France. Their interests and hobbies range from horseriding to country music and photography. All are proficient in English. “This is an excellent opportunity to meet some marvelous youngsters from overseas,” said Rappahannock Lions Club president John Schultz. Arrival dates vary, and if one family can’t host an exchange youth for the full five weeks, several families could share the visit, Schultz explained, adding that you don’t need to be a member of the Lions Gub to participate. This is the sixth year for Rappahannock Lions Gub participation in the program. Foreign students from Finland, France, and Germany have visited the Holschuhs of Castleton, the Nichols’ of Flint Hill, the Ingles and Harris’ of Washington, and the Thornhills of Boston. Up to now, all visitors have been boys; this is the first year for girls to be hosted in our county. Host families are expected t to meet their students at the ! airport and provide them with free room and board and entertainment for their visit. Anyone interested in joining the International Lions Gub Youth Exchange program should contact local club president Schultz, 9878916, or local youth exchange chairman Sid Mank, 6753244.

In addition, they’ll take canoe trips, one a six-day “primitive” journey in Boundary Waters Canoe Area National Park. Wendy and Janet will be part of a group of 56 scouts and seven leaders selected from all over the country to participate in “Voyager’s Rendezvous” by area Girl Scout Councils. After returning from Canada by way of Toronto and Niagra Falls, Janet DeRoo will hit the road again, this time for San Diego to take part in “Seafarer’s Sampler” at the Coronado Naval Base. Thera, focus will be on water skills, boating and marine biology. Janet hopes that the summer scouting adventures will build experience she can put to use in working with the senior scouts here next year. Training in canoeing will enable her to teach the Sport to her senior troop. In addition, she'll produce a slide tape program of the Fort Henry “Voyager’s Rendezvous” to show to local groups, including the seventh grade history class at Rappahannock elementary school where she teaches. Tall Texans While Janet and Wendy are in Canada and points north, Debbie Helmer will hit the trail to San Antonio, Texas, to discover ‘‘Why Texans Stand So Tall.” With a home base at Incarnate Word College, she’ll investigate folk cultures, take a trip to the home of former President Lyndon Johnson, eat dinner on a barge and tour a 900,000 acre exotic animal ranch on horseback. In between, she’ll join in entertainment activities, including folk dancing and Texas barbeque cook-outs. Shannon Streagle will journey to Connecticut for her international ‘‘Almost Anything Goes” adventure. Girl Scouts from all over the world, bringing their national costumes and favorite recipes, will jpin her for a camping outing that's been two years in the planning. Pat Helmer reported that her troop camped two years ago with the group that’s sponsoring “Almost Anything Goes” so Shannon will have a chance to meet again with a few old friends. In addition to outdoor activities, the girls will also visit West Point, New York City, President Roosevelt’s home at Hyde Park, elegant mansions along the Hudson River, museums and art galleries. Next year, Pat’s former Cadettes will be old enough and experienced enough to qualify for overseas adventures, possibly to Girl Scout world centers in India, Switzerland or Mexico. Or they may participate in international community service projects, building block houses or digging ditches in poorer countries, Pat said. Asked about her commitment to Girl Scouting, Pat emphasized that she wasn’t always an enthusiastic supporter. "I hated Girl Scouts! I was in for two years and I hated it. I had a rotten leader,” she admitted. "Then I had a terrible experience while I was in college as business manager of a Girl Scout camp. It was just awful,” Pat recalled, shaking her head at the memories. But her attitude changed when she moved to Rappahannock. She found that the only activity available for her three little jjirls was in scouting. Girl Scouts in Rappahannock then consisted of 30 Brownies with one overwhelmed, overworked and overburdened Valerie Jones as leader. So Pat stepped in and lent a hand. “I’m the council crank,” she acknowledged with a rueful smile. But with her criticism and complaints, she also offered suggestions on how to improve the Girl Scout program for Rappahannock, how to expand opportunities beyond the county line and, most importantly, how to hold on to the girls once they became young ladies. By her efforts, Pat Helmer has opened the door to wider horizons for the Cadettes she’s taken under her wing.

JOSEPH NORDONE, BROKER, 987-8691 m REALTOR JV Wins Two The JV Panthers kept up their winning ways last Saturday in a doubleheader against Page’s junior Panthers. Rappahannock started off early and built up a 9-1 lead by the third inning. Page finally woke up and began to fight back but ended up short as RCHS held on to win, 9-7. Mike Leake was the winning pitcher in the first game and Mike Brown was credited with the save. In the second game, Page maintained the momentum they built up in the final innings of the first game. They surprised Rappahannock by scoring ten runs in the first inning, helped by Rappahannock's five errors. RCHS refused to be counted out. In the fourth inning, freshman Mike Leake slammed the ball 350 feet over the left field fence for a home run. Timmy Settle followed it up with a triple but the drive ran out of gas. leaving Page with a 15-6 win. The JV sprang back from the loss in the second game of Saturday’s double header to beat the Cedar Lee Trojans on Monday. The two teams passed the lead back and forth in the opening innings before Rappahannock made it a runaway in the fourth with nine runs. In the final innings, the junior Panthers played a tightly knit offensive and defensive game to earn the win and bring their season record to four vistories and one defeat. The next JV game will be against Page at home on Friday. Douglas Laing to Aileen Hyland Laing and others, Vs interest in 325 acres. Jackson District. Gift. David R. Batchelder and wife to Roger P.

Led by another outstanding showing from distance runner Ann Thomas, Rappahannock easily defeated Strasburg but was edged out by Stonewall in the three-school contest. Thomas won the mile-run with a time of 5:48.4 and the two-mile in 12:20.8. Allison Best brought home the only other first for the Lady Panthers, winning the 100 yard dash in 12.4. In field events, Tammy Atkins threw the discus 96’6” to finish third with Donna Gore throwing for fifth. Mary Jordan heaved the shot for a third place. Long jumpers Rhonda Brown, Pam Estes and Allison Best all improved on their performances in earlier meets by more than a foot, easily bettering the goals set for the girls by coach Spieker. Johanna Day cleared 5’1” in the high jump, finishing a very close second in that event. Crystal Porter and Barbara Pendleton each cleared 4’6”, bettering their pre-meet goals. Kim Williams failed to place in the 100 yard dash and hurdles but continued to show improvement, matching the pre-meet times set by coach Spieker. Ronda Wiley ran second in both the 440 yard dash and the 110 hurdles, Rappahannock's relay teams in the 880 and mile events contests each placed second. Coach Spieker has high hopes for Johanna Day's continued improvement in the 880 run. Day ran second in 2:39.5, a very fast time considering it was only her second attempt at that distance. RCHS Tops RMA, Loses To Page The varsity Panthers lost at home to the Page Panthers on Friday, April 18 12-6, and then came back after the weekend to win their first game for 1980. After scoring two runs in the early innings, RCHS fell behind in the third. Rappahannock’s Panthers kept it close until the fifth when Page sent seven runners around the bases to put the game out of reach. RCHS managed only nine hits off the Page pitchers. On Monday, things went better for the Panthers as they posted thir first win of the season with a 5-1 victory over Randolph Macon Academy. RMA scored in the second inning and then held off the Panthers until the fifth when RCHS scored two. RCHS put the lid on in the seventh with three more runs to win. Tony Armentrout hit a single batting in one run and later scored on a fielder’s JVTracksters Defeated Spirits were high among the >girls on Rappahannock’s IV track team at last Thursday’s meet with Strasburg and Central. But nervousness, inexperience and lack of depth combined to give the junior Panthers a third place finish behind their rivals.

Help keep Red Cross ready. Mulching Does Variety Things iviuicning—covering me soil around the plants with protective material—can do a variety of good things for plants in the home garden. “Mulches reduce weed growth, maintain uniform moisture conditions, reduce erosion, reduce water loss and water requirements, reduce splash of soils and spread of disease, keep fruiting parts cleaner, reduce nutrient loss and fertilizer requirements, add humus for more workable soil, and add organic matter to the soil when organic materials are turned under,” said Diane Relf, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture. “Mulches of certain materials also can favorably modify soil termperature.” There are three general groups of materials used for 'mulching—organic, inorganic and films. Organic mulches are tree bark, compost, corncobs, grass clippings, hay or straw, peanut or other nut hulls, leaves, a horticulture grade peat moss, pine needles, and sawdust, chips or fibers of wood. inorganic muicnes are gravel, marble chips and sand. Films include black or clear plastic, newspaper, mulching paper and aluminum-coated plastic and foil. Each has different attributes and disadvantages. “Most organic mulches should be applied after plants are well established,” the specialist said, “and are at least four to six inches tall. Cultivate out all weeds before mulching. Spread the material evenly between plants to a depth of one to six inches, depending on the type of material. Apply organic mulches when there is reasonably good soil moisture and just before the weather turns hot in the summer. “Putting down mulch on dry ground may slow rain water getting into the soil as the mulch tends to absorb moisture,” said the faculty member in Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Inorganic mulches, such as black plastic and paper, are applied before planting. Black plastic and other filmlike materials should be applied on land that has been completely prepared for LOVE A SPECTACULAR VIEW? This meticulous home has a gorgeous view of the mountains.

QiieF REALTORS 149 Vfest Davis St. • Culpeper,^ 22701 (703)825-1717 Pussy Willow: Fuzzy Memories Of Childhood By LUCY COGGIN Ar—Ul Kwnufi Wrfcf Pussy willows were created to be picked in Spring and brought into the house where children can stroke the fuzz and admire the subtle shades of pink-on-gray which color the remarkable catkins. For a few weeks the downy buds remain in perfect condition, plump and colorful. Soon enough the true flowers of the plant appear as the male catkins erupt in a yellow bottle brush of pollen. Small green shoots of new leaves follow within a few weeks. If your aim is to maintain your pussy willows in their furry prime, do not bother to put them in water. The natural progression of flowering and sprouting will continue right on your dining room table. As a dried arrangement they will keep until dust and time dull their attractiveness. A friend of mine was given a spray of pussy willows by her college-freshman son, and found them worth keeping until he was fully graduated and married. Even then, the gift was barely faded enought to prevent a wave of guilt as they were stuffed into the garbage can. A good plan might be to save one or two gift twigs in water for several months until they send out a collection of thin white roots. The weather will then be warm and the twigs can be planted in a temporary bed of good loose soil or set out directly in a permanent spot. The plants root easily and should catch on well, given a little extra water the first year. Two facts should be kept in mind when choosing a permanent home for your pussy willow. They grow much larger than anyone would guess, up to 30 feet high and 12 feet across. The roots form a compact mat within a few years and will spread quickly into pipes and drainfields. So locate your tree where it will have plenty of room above and below ground. You may choose to prune the top before it becomes an athletic feat to pick new shoots in the Spring. Like the best apples, the fuzzy flower buds always appear near the top. Commercial growers cut the plants to the ground every few years and apply a heavy dose of fertilizer to force long shoot growth. If you have a soggy area where a screen of narrow deciduous trees would be useful, pussy willows might be a good selection. Pussy willows (Salix caprea) are native to Europe and northern Asia and can withstand the cold of a Boston winter. Garden catalogs refer to a Japanese willow with almost black catkins (Salix melanostachys). The novelty of this variety would be hard pressed to rival the popularity of the pussy willow familiar to us- all. Memories of the animal softness of those buds linger from childhood, along with a fourth-grade recollection of a girl named Charlotte who somehow stuck one up her nose and had to be taken to the doctor. But the risks are small of this happening again, and a childhood with no pussy willows at all would be a sad alternative. Hamburger Breed (Continued from Page 4) and small heads combined with ease of birth charac* teristic to Angus cattle. In another area of possible concern, Chianina detractors maintain that farms must be refenced at six feet to keep the long, tall breed in pastures. Not true, according to Parrish. He acknowledged that his old Chianina show cow, a family pet," jumped in and out of fields whenever she chose but insisted this behaviour is the exception, not the rule. At the Parrish farm, fences are all the standard height and the animals, including Walco Lombard the bull, stay where they belong. It’s all a matter of management, Parrish said, adding that cattle will generally stay where they’re put if they’re contented.

Cut slits for ' seeds or transplants. A few j additional slits can be made * to allow rain water to filter into the soil. The kind of mulch that home gardeners might use usually depends on what is available, the specialist said. Some, such as the barks, stay in place very well—many, such as compost, hay or straw, or leaves, improve the soil. They have different rates of decomposition and different degrees of effectiveness of weed control. Local Extension offices would have recommendations about specific mulches, Ms. Relfsaid. f Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088-Office PICTURESQUE tract of woodland, 18.9 acres, has several good building sites, stream, views and good access road. $22,500.
