Reynolds AN EXTRA GOOD BATH AND TRIM may be just what is needed to catch the judge’s eye at the upcoming Farm Show which involves people from Culpeper, Madison .and Rappahannock counties. Farm Show dates are July 23 and 24 and. will be held at Culpeper Enterprises on Route 29 south of Culpeper. Randall Updike, a Rappahannock 4-H leader, demonstrates for club members the proper way to trim a lamb. The show will be followed by a sale on July 27 and the sale will be preceded by a pork barbecue the proceeds of which will benefit the 4-H clubs of the three counties. Information will be obtained by calling the Extension < office in Washington. Rabies Outbreak Termed Epidemic The incidence of rabies in neighboring Fauquier County has gone from outbreak to epidemic proportions, according to regional health director Dr. John Einarson. In response, the health department is planning another round of dog and cat immunization clinics in Fauquier for late July, this time with vaccination centers set up in the northern and southern portions of the county as well as in the Warrenton area. A clinic will be held next week in Culpeper, and in addition, Einarson said, another clinic may be held in Rappahannock County later this month. Two more cases of the deadly disease were confirmed last week, according to Einarson. In one incident near Markham, several children were chased by a rabid fox. A witness killed the animal and then took the body to the health department for testing. That same day, three dogs near Midland killed a raccoon that was found to be rabid. The dogs did not have current rabies immunizations and so were destroyed. Over the July 4th weekend, an opossum killed by a dog near Remington, two skunks from Hume, a cat from Markham and two dogs from Midland were turned in for rabies testing, Einarson reported. All of these tests came back negative,' he added. Einarson described the incidence of rabies in the Fauquier area as “definitely epizootic,” the technical term for an epidemic among animals. He indicated that Town Council Urges Wise Water Use By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock >cw« Staff Writer Four members of the Washington Town Council held a short meeting on a bench outside the courthouse on a very hot Wednesday night. Brad Fisher presided in the absence of Mayor Newbill Miller. The main topic of the regularly-scheduled July meeting was the progress made in incorporating the new, town well into the town water system. Fisher told other council members that tests received on the quality of the water coming from the new well were fine. “We tested higher in iron and magnesium than is generally considered pleasing,” he said. // He went on to explain that presence of these minerals does not interfere with the safety of the water but might stain tile a reddish color. “But most of the iron will settle in the pipes.” Fisher said. “It means we have to flush out the pipes from time to time.” The council members also discussed the pipe to be used in hooking up the new water supply. Fisher told them that the most commonly - used plastic pipe (schedule 80) had been tested at 190 PSI for 24 hour-a-day use and would certainly be suitable for the town’s needs. “The only problem with plastic is that it floats,” Fisher said. “But you can (Continued a.

Ted Triplett, an orchardist and cattle producer all his life, has long been an advocate of selling directly to the consumer as an escape from the price-cost squeeze choking American farmers. But his was a “do as I say,” not “do as I do" approach. When his sermons on direct marketing attracted few disciples, he decided to practice what he preached. After adding up the dollars and cents from the start of a season of selling at farmers markets ip Washington, D. C. and Culpeper, he still believes that direct marketing pays. The concept is an idea whose time has come, at least in Rappahannock. Orchardists Sam Snead, cattleman Newbill Miller, and strawberry producer Miriam Harris have followed the lead of entrepreneurs whose vegetable and apple stands have dotted Route 211 for years. “People who are able to market at least part of their crop directly are the ones who are making the money,” said Rap Owings, VP1 extension agent for Rappahannock. VPI has moved to the forefront of the movement. The extension service now has a separate department for direct marketing and publishes free seasonal guides for fruits, vegetables, Christmas trees and firewood. Brochures on other agricultural products, including beef cattle, are now in the planning process. Sparked By VPI Conference With orchardist Sam Snead and farmer Jens Tholand, Triplett attended a VPI sponsored conference last year in Charlottesville on direct marketing and came home more enthusiastic than ever over the concept. He spent months trying to talk someone else into trying a truck gardening experiment, according to his wife, Lucy. “Finally, he said, ‘Lucy, it’s such a damn good idea that I’ll do it myselfl’ ” Triplett had experience in some aspects of direct marketing after operating an apple house in Linden in partnership with his twin brother. The two did a brisk business in cider and in peaches and apples by the carton, bag and bushel until Interstate 66 took traffic off Route 55 and away from the sign advertising Triplett’s apple house just a mile or so off the highway. “That really hurt me so I started looking around for other ways to sell,” Ted reported. Last year, he and his brother began hauling fruit and cider to the market at RFK stadium in D.C. rather than accept substandard prices offered local (Continued on Page 8) Rappahannock Newt Photo/Daphne Hutchinaoo THREE WEEKS AGO, Ted Triplett had ripe tomatoes, maybe the first in the county, in his 13 acre truck garden. Extension agent Rap Owings wasn’t surprised. Triplett has always been in the front of the line. According to the county agent, he was one of the first farmers in Rappahannock to have a round baler and the very first to try a mechanical apple picker. One of the first in the county to try large scale direct marketing, Triplett will sell bushels of produce directly from his farm on Route 626 near Castleton to local buyers. In Circuit Court Convicted Arsonist Challenges Verdict By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Judge Shore Robertson has set August 28 for sentencing of convicted arsonist Robert Clarence “Pete” Martin who' was found guilty in a jury trial in May of burning barns and other property valued at approximately $110,000 belonging to C. E. Johnson/ and family. At that time, Robertson will also rule on defens^, motions to set aside the guilty, verdict. I In circuit court ort Monday, Lee Albrecht, attorney for Martin, argued 0 that the guilty verdicts should be overturned because the commonwealth failed to prove that the Halloween night fire was of incendiary origin. He noted that a fire is presumed to be of natural causes unless shown otherwise. Although the commonwealth attempted to rule out all natural causes, he said, no evidence was presented on what did start the fire, forcing the jury to conjecture. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner responded that arson can be proved properly by ruling out all non-incendiary origins. He also noted that prosecution witness Albert Gatewood testified that Martin admitted to him setting the fire. This “extrajudicial confession” is “very crucial” to the commonwealth’s case, Baumgardner said. In a second motion, Albrecht requested that Martin’s conviction be reversed and a new trial ordered on one charge of arson. Charging Martin with five counts of arson constituted “double jeopardy,” he maintained. “There was one fire, one towering inferno...not five separate incidents.” The fire that destroyed three bams, a pump house and other property, including hay bales and farm equipment, was “one continuous transaction” and not separate, independent actions, Albrecht argued. If a robber breaks into a house and steals several pieces of property, “do we have one charge of larceny for each item stolen?” he asked, maintaining that the same principle applies to the Sperryville fire, even though the property destroyed belonged to different individuals in the Johnson family. The common law of arson relates to a single building. Therefore, lodging separate charges for separate buildings is justifiable, according to Baumgardner. He also noted that evidence of witnesses held the fire to be of multiple origin, allowing the jury to conclude that separate acts of arson took place. In finding Martin guilty of (Continued on Page 4) Legal Battles Continue Over Wood Estate By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock INrw* Staff Writer Legal guns were reloaded: last Friday for the latest round in the continuing legal; battle over the estate of Virginia Fletcher and Robert' Eugene Wood. At issue in the Fight between heirs-at-law and various charitable institutions is $1,610,718, excluding real estate, left by Virginia Wood and $153,116 left by Robert Eugene Wood. In addition, 10.49 acres at Fletcher’s Mill with main house and outbuildings owned by Mrs. Wood were sold at auction in May for $127,000 which was added to her estate. The couple died in the August 1979 Sperryville flood when they were swept from a bridge just a few hundred yards from their home. County Teams In Tourney The Rappahannock Rebels and the Sperryville Brewers both qualified for the state Slo-Pitch Softball finals on the basis of play in last weekend’s District C Regional Tournament in Harrisonburg. Out of 26 teams, the Rebels finished first with a 50 tournament record and the Brewers finished fifth, winning four games and losing only two. Along with six teams from each of the other five regions in the state, the Rebels and Brewers will play in the Virginia Slo-Pitch Softball Finals in Harrisonburg on August 21, 22 and 23. In a hand written will dated December, 1948, Mrs. Wood divided the bulk of her estate between the Virginia Division of the American Cancer Society and “the State of Virginia organization or foundation engaged in research concerning ailments of the heart and heart trouble.” In his 1948 will, Robert Eugene Wood split most of his estate between the “cancer and heart funds of Virginia.” While Mrs. Wood’s bequest to the Cancer Society has been settled, heirs have challenged the gifts left by the Woods to the heart organizations on the grounds that the bequests are indefinite and vague. In addition, the Medical College of Virginia, the University of Virginia and the Virginia affiliate of the American Heart Association are all fighting for a share of the money that Mrs. Wood intended to go to heart research. Ten attorneys representing the different sides in the fight crowded around the table in Washington’s court house last Friday to present final arguments before Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson. Addressing Mr. Wood’s will, attorney Michael Spain maintained that the Virginia affiliate of the American Heart Association is the only organization in the state known as the heart fund. He also noted that Central Fidelity Cank president Ralph Deacon had testified that Mr. Wood had indicated he didn’t want to leave his money to his heirs. Spain acknowledged, however, that Deacon’s testimony may not be admissible. (The Woods had no children. Since Mrs. Wood was an only child, her heirsat-law are the children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren of her father’s brother, William Meade Fletcher. They are her first cousin, James William Fletcher of Sperryville, four second cousins and two third cousins. Mr. Wood’s heirs-atlaw are three nephews and a niece.) Spain noted the overwhelming legal presumption in favor of charitable bequests as further support for Mrs. Wood’s intention that her money be left to heart research. In addition, he maintained that “the well known names” of the University of Virginia and Medical College of Virginia would have been specifically cited if Mrs. Wood had intended to leave part of her estate to those institutions. Not In Research Speaking on behalf of the state defendants, MCV attorney David Ross argued that the Heart Association, in regard to Mrs. Wood’s will, fails to meet the criteria of being involved in heart research. Also, he noted that her will specifies a state of Virginia organization or foundation which means the beneficiary must be an arm of state government, state owned or operated, not an affiliate of a national organization. The Heart Association funds research and collects data but doesn’t actually engage in research, according to Ross. In addition, he said that the Virginia affiliate of the Heart Association wasn’t even in existence when the Woods wrote their wills. Ross maintained that the key to Mrs. Wood’s will is her intent that the money go to the state of Virginia for heart research. The court can implement that intent, he said, by appointing a trustee to distribute the estate among Virginia government associations and foundations engaged in heart research. Not Clarified Virginia Wood didn't state (Continued on Page 4) Thieves Break In High School, Steal Typewriters, Buffer Thieves broke into Rappahannock County High School last weekend and stole items that included two televisions, three typewriters and a new buffer that was delivered to the school just a week ago. According to trooper R. A. Baines, the break-in occured sometime between 4 p.m. on Friday, July 10, and 7 a.m. on Monday, July 13. The intruders entered through a window in the guidance office after first removing an air conditioning unit. Baines reported that the thieves apparently went from the guidance office to the library where they took a typewriter, then to the hall where they found another typewriter and to the teachers lounge where a third machine was taken. All three typewriters were manual models, according to high school principal Dennis Wingfield. Two televisions, black and white viewers for the high school’s computer, were removed from the hall and the new buffer was taken from the gymnasium, Baines said. “Apparently they went into the cafeteria but nothing was stolen from there,” he reported. In addition, the robbers made off with the guidance office's window unit air conditioner, a silver plated tea service from the home economics room and a desk calculator. Apparently, the thieves parked behind the school and hauled the items to their vehicle, Baines said. The investigation of the robbery is continuing but the state trooper reported he has no leads in the case. Principal Wingfield estimated replacement value of the items stolen at between $2,500 and $3,000, provided the typewriters are replaced with manual models. Superintendent Robert Estabrook told the school board members at their meeting Tuesday night that he will contact insurance representatives to see if there’s coverage of the theft as soon as the list of the items stolen is definitive.

School Days Continue For Special Students By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Now Staff Writer This summer, while most Rappahannock school children are trying their best to forget about school, six yougsters in Mary Jane McCarthy's special summer school class are spending a few hours each week making sure that they don't forget what the past year has taught them. These children have special learning needs and McCarthy thinks it’s important to provide some continuity over the summer so that every hard-fought gain can be retained. “This special class is continuing all summer,” she said. “Parents are making Same Day Service ON MOST SINGLE VISION S BIFOCAL RX EVENINGS BY APPOINTMENT D. MILLER. Reg. Optician FRONT ROYAL OPTICAL 636-2020 531 E MAIN ST tremendous sacrifices to pay for the class and to provide transportation to and from school each Friday.” McCarthy, a second-year teacher at Rappahannock Elementary School, ran a center for handicapped and disadvantaged children in New Hampshire and believes that all children with learning problems have a lot in common. “I don’t think it’s necessary to label a child with difficulties,” she said. “Sometimes the fear of having a child labeled ‘retarded’ or ‘emotionally disturbed’ or ‘disadvantaged’ keeps parents from accepting special help for their children. Every child, whether handicapped mentally, physically, emotionally or economically has certain problems that we Can help if we know how.” McCarthy’s belief that the main focus should be on improving the learning skills of children without emphasis on labels puts her in the camp of the educational behaviorists. “My approach is definitely that of a behaviorist,” she said. “I may not ever be able to change the circumstances that I have no control over. I may not be able to say exactly why a child has a specific learning problem. But I am trained to know what methods will help to improve certain problems, no Eappaljannnck Neuib Rappahannock & Ad|Oining Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $8 50 Outside the U S per year $7 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( (New ( (Renewal ( (Check Enclosed NAME_:_ ADDRESS __ ____ CITY_ STATE_„_ ZIP_ t nteied as second class mail at the Post Ottice in War: union v-a The Rappahannock News is published every Thysdav at 39 Cuioeper Street.

After her plan was approved, the school arranged a classroom for her, but parents were responsible for the fees and for getting the children to and from school. “I have one family that had to change their entire work schedule to bring their child to school for this class,” McCarthy said. “I can’t help but feel that this attitude in itself makes the children see how important it is that they keep up the momentum they’ve gained in the past year.” Only children who wanted to take the special class were asked to sign up.“A lot of the special ed students don’t like school anyway,” McCarthy said. “I didn’t want to force anyone to come. Also, many are needed for work around their farms and homes during the summer.” So McCarthy ended up with a group of six very lively and interested students. “1 knew all these kids, anyway,” she said. “It’s a great group and for some of them I think it will make a big difference in their achievement next year.” McCarthy has other ideas for improving the special education program in Rappahannock. In addition to her theory that the same techniques can help children with many different learning problems, she believes that Rappahannock special education teachers should be in touch with each other. "I think we need a Special Education department,” she said. “I don’t know what the high school, pre-school and primary special ed teachers are doing.” To encourage a good community attitude toward special education programs, McCarthy believes that an advisory committee, composed of parents, educators and administrators, should be formed. “There’s a lot of ignorance and false information about special education,” she said. “An advisory committee would let us know what the community wants to do.” McCarthy’s ideas are still in the planning stage and need official discussion and sanction before any progress is made. But for now, smiling faces and waving hands attest to the success of the small summer school program.

The small class sizes means individual attention for each child. This special ed teacher hopes that holding weekly classes during the summer will give her students a better opportunity to review and retain what they learned during the regular school year..

Town Council (Continued from Page 1) solve that problem by putting in the joints correctly and by providing cement anchors in spots.” Fisher also said that the ditches need to be lined with sand before laying in the pipe or rocks eventually will rub leaks through the pipe. "We sure have found that out,” said Charlie Jenkins, who supervises Washington’s water operation. The councilmen had very favorable comments about the town’s successful Fourthof-July celebration. Brad Fisher spoke to the council on water conservation. “We have lots of water now because of the rain,” he said. “But our water table is so terribly low that the people in town must conserve water just as a general practice.” Fisher said that when the winter water shortage happened, the townspeople all conserved water. "This, time, there was no drop in usage,’’ he said. Drastic measures to conserve are no longer necessary, according to Fisher - just a day-to-day awareness of the -need to avoid waste. Fisher and Jenkins said some parts are needed to complete the new well hookup, and that the right of way for the connection was not secured. This is no longer such an urgent problem because of ample water of the town reservoir, but the members discussed the need to proceed. "We can fill the reservoir from the new well with the fire hose if there’s another shortage,” Fisher said. “But we shouldn’t set it up until we’re just about to do it. That hose needs to be on the truck.” After a brief discussion of the depth of the pipe to be Sursum Corda School& Day Care Center, Inc. \ wants to give special thanks to the businesses who ^ contributed goods or services to the 4th of July Auction Jeannie Dreavas, Potter _ Faith Mountain Herb* & Antiques Ginny's Kitchen John Walker Jenkins Auctioneering Services Sally Nash, message therapist & dance instructor Nature’s Pantry Rappahannock National Bank Rappahannock News Walsworth Farms - laid across the right-of-way, the meeting adjourned.

According to Einarson, the incubation period for rabies in animals is generally two to three months but can be as long as a year. “So the current cases were probably contracted in February or March,” he said. The health department director noted that the upper Shenandoah Valley was the site of a large rabies outbreak in the early 1970’s with sporadic cases reported in the lower Shenandoah area during the last ten years. “We can surmise that it probably came from there,” he said. Einarson cautioned area residents to be alert to the possibility of rabies in wild and domesticated animals. “Don’t try in any way to investigate a sick animal,” he emphasized. Wild animals suspected of having rabies should be shot and their bodies brought to the health department for testing. The health deoartment cannot offer any assistance other than testing and advice, he added, noting that game wardens should be contacted in suspected cases involving live wild animals and dog wardens in cases involving stray dogs. Pets thought to have the disease should be seen immediately by a vet. One of the most common symptoms of rabies in wild animals is loss of normal fear of humans and other natural foes. According to Einarson, a rabid skunk in the northern part of Fauquier followed a dog onto the porch of a house. “The skunk had no fear at all,” Einarson said. Rabid animals may also bite randomly, appear sick, foam at the mouth, lack energy and develop paralysis in the hindquarters. Bites from any animal, wild or domesticated, should be reported. If possible, the pet should be penned up, or in the case of a wild animal, killed. Bites should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. This precaution may prevent the disease from entering the blood stream. Rabies in humans is always fatal unless treated. According to Einarson, only two individuals have survived rabies without receiving the series of immunizing shots and both had supportive treatment including a respirator. Fortunately, the disease is rare in humans. Cases have dropped sharply from the 20 or 30 a year reported in the 1930’s to an average now of two per year, according to Einarson. Whether with animals or humans, vaccinations against rabies do not provide absolute protection. Most of the recent rabies cases in humans in the U. S. over the past few years have come in persons who were immunized following a bite by a rabkl' animal. Dogs and cats suspected of coming into contact with the disease should receive booster shots even if their immunizations are current, Einarson added, as cases have also occurred in animals protected against rabies. Although most human exposure occurs through animal bites, the virus is transmitted through saliva and can enter the bloodstream through the smallest scratch. According to. Einarson, one of the four persons currently undergoing anti-rabies treatment was feared to have been exposed to the disease through a small crack in the skin around a fingernail. Bloomer Named Principal Joan Bloomer, wife of former superintendent of Rappahannock schools William J. Bloomer, has been named principal of Culpeper Junior High School after four years there as assistant principal.

REAITOV.MI PAYING OFF THE BALLOON " A second mortgage on a property is normally known as a balloon mortgage because only interest is paid during the term of the loan and the principal “balloons" and must be paid in full at the termination. If it’s a six year loan you may start to worry about how to raise the money come year number five. One of the painless ways is to consider the magic of refinancing. Here’s an example of how it would work. Say the purchase price was $50,000 and you got a 25 year 8 percent loan with a first mortgage of $35,000 and a second mortgage of $5,000. If the property increased at only 6 percent per year, it would be worth about $67,000 after 5 years. If you refinanced with a 70 percent first mortgage ($47,000), this would give you enough cash to pay off your first mortgage balance of $32,300 plus your $5,000 second mortgage. Then you end up with almost $10,000 put in your pocket - free from any current income tax. Always consider refinancing at a later date. It is one of the main financial tools of professional investors. ooo It there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JULY 16,1981 Cancer Detection Day In Rappahannock “Open Wide” will be a familiar phrase to many Rappahannock and neighboring county residents on Friday, July 31st when a (Tee Mouth Cancer Detection Day will be observed. Anyone 21 years or over may visit the clinic at the Health Department in Rappahannock between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. and receive a free examination for mouth (oral) cancer. Cancers of the mouth afflict 26,000 Americans annually and kill about 9,000. In Virginia, approximately 18S deaths from this cancer are expected in 1981. The tragedy is that cancers of the mouth and associated regions are among the most easily detected of all. Like skin cancers, they are readily accessible to diagnosis and comparatively easy to cure when detected early. Oral cancer can occur as a result of jagged teeth which cause constant irritation of the tongue or cheeks; illfitting dentures; and unhygienic mouth conditions. Leukoplakia, “white spots” occurring on the lips, inside of the cheek or on the palate, is often associated with smoking, or chewing tobacco or dipping snuff, and it can be a pre-cancerous condition. Some of the other warning signals for mouth cancer are: —Swelling, lump or growth anywhere in or about the mouth, —Any sore that does not heal, —Numbness or pain anywhere in the mouth area, —Repeated bleeding in the mouth without cause. If you have any of these warning signals, see your physician or dentist or visit the Mouth Cancer Detection Clinic on July 31. An oral surgeon will examine your mouth, including a survey of face, lips, cheeks, gums, tongue and roof and floor of the mouth in a painless examination which takes from 3 to 5 minutes per patient. This is a combined project of the American Cancer Society, Medical College of Virginia-Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry and the Dental Division of the State Health Department. Their team consists of 2 oral surgeons, 1 oral pathologist, 6 dental students, a faculty member of the School of Hygienists and volunteers from the American Cancer Society. Estate Battle Continues (Continued from Page 1) her intention with sufficient clarity for it to be implemented by the court, according to J. Sloan Kuykendahl, attorney for Mrs. Wood’s heirs-at-law. Her will specified “the" state organization or foundation engaged in heart research as beneficiary, not “a” or “an” organization, he noted, concluding that Mrs. Wood had a specific organization in mind. It couldn’t have been the American Heart Association’s Virginia affiliate. he said, because that organization wasn't in existence when the will was written. The ambiguous language of the bequest makes it impossible to determine if Virginia Wood meant the Heart Association, MCV or UVa, he said. Kuykendahl argued further that the presumption in favor of a charitable bequest doesn't necessarily apply since Mrs. Wood’s will doesn’t specifically state that the money must be used for heart research. According to Kuykendahl, if UVa receives the bequest, there’s nothing to prevent the University from using the funds to supports its "big basketball team (or) their football team which hasn't been very good." The state is saying “Don’t let the heirs get it” because that isn’t what Virginia Wood intended, Kuykendahl continued, describing the argument in favor of a charitable bequest as one that tugs on the heart strings. “Everybody knows what she wanted. Everybody knows what she intended,” he said, adding, however, that Mrs. Wood didn’t comply with legal requirements that would have clearly spelled out her intended beneficiaries. In addition, he maintained that the court doesn't have authority to decipher her intentions. The attorney representing the various state agencies maintained that a bequest doesn't have to state specifically how money is to be used in order to qualify as charitable. - .-V ■'** The* Unchallenged- portion left to the Cancer Society isn’t directed specifically to be spent on research yet “nobody's questioning that the Cancer Society's going to give it away to rich peope.” he said, reporting that under the state’s trustee proposal, all the beneficiaries have agreed to commit any money received from the Wood estate to heart research. Spain described the argument that the Heart Association is not engaged in heart research as a "red herring." As to the distinction between funding and actually carrying out research, he said that individuals. not institutions or foundations—whether the Heart Association or UVa—engage in research. After listening to the two hours of final arguments, Judge Robertson pointed to the stacks and stacks of legal documents involved in the case and noted that “the court has its job cut out for it.” He told the attorneys he would announce his decision by letter as soon as practicable, noting the scarcity of open days on the docket through the remainder of the year. Upon request, however, he set December 17 for a hearing to announce his ruling. “Strong legal principles have been enunciated on both sides of this case," added Robertson, raising the possibility of an out-of-court settlement. “There won’t be any half winners. You’ll either win all the way or lose all the way (whereas with a settlement), you could find a middle ground," he told the attorneys. “If you reach an actord,' please notify me ’ promptly so 1 won't spend too many Saturdays reading these briefs,” the Judge concluded. Back SS Checks Limited People who delay applying for social security retirement or survivor benefits for some time after they become eligible may be affected by a change in the law which took effect March 1, according to Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper. Under the new law, back payments can be made only for up to 6 months before the month of application, Hundley said. Under the old law, back checks could be received for up to 12 months before the month of application.

Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Professional Opinion On Abortion To the editor: Several letters to the Editors have been written pertaining to Abortion. The most recent one authored by Mr. Willis Dearing, in particular, deserves to be answered. 1. Obviously any cell, may it be like an ameba, (one cell) or like cells in flowers have a biological life, but the conflict arises when the product of conception from its onset is supposed to have a spiritual life. There is no scientific evidence for that concept, it is purely based on religious belief. 2. For the first 30 days the embryo has no resemblance to a human being and measures about 6mm or V* of an inch. . 3. It is supposed that the human heart begins to set blood in motion at about 6 weeks. These contractions are purely muscular phenomenon since the nerve supply to the heart comes only several weeks later. 4. lhe sex ot the child is not predicted by the heart beat but by chromosome anlysis of a cell under electrom microscope. 5. The AMA vote on Abortion occurred after lengthy debate and testimony from both sides of the issue. To accuse them of profiteering from Abortion is unjust. Most likely if Abortions were banned, the Physicians would have to spend much more time and the patient's money to treat Martin Challenges Arson Verdict (Continued from Page 1) five counts of arson, the jury sentenced him to serve two years on each count. If Judge Robertson overrules the defense motions at the scheduled August 28 hearing, he will determine then if the two year sentences are to run concurrently or consecutively. No Added Time Also in court on Monday, Robertson denied a request from special prosecutor David Konick to have six years of a suspended sentence imposed on William Browning Whorton. Whorton was convicted in two instances of breaking and entering which occurred patients with self-induced or infected incomplete abortions performed in the back alleys. 6. The Right to Life bill before Congress is a much more far reaching bill. Any physician who would perform an Abortion for fetal abnormality, or rape or who would complete an Abortion after spontaneous incomplete abortion has occurred would be accused of murder, and the mother an accessory to the fact. Effective contraceptives as the I.U.D. or the morning after pill would be outlawed. 7. It is interesting to note that the very people who oppose Abortion most vehemently are also opposed to any kind of birth control. They are against Family Planning Services or Sex Education in school. 8. The National Center for Disease Control had a recent report prepared showing the Abortion Benefits. Health and Human Services Secretary, Richard Schweiker, (anti-abortionist) refused to have the report made public. 9. Many poor counties are severely overpopulated and children, (not embryoes) are dying daily by the 1000 of malnutrition and disease. There is no evidence that the Right to Life people are making any real effort to save these children. Abortion is a personal issue and should not be legislated by the government nor imposed on the population by religious dogma. WERNER KREBSER. M.D. ++++ One kind word can warm three winter months. —Japanese Proverb Matter Of Conscience Dear Editor: Recently in the Rappahannock News, several persons have written in support of the pro-life movement. As a firm believer in the right of a woman to have the legal option of abortion, I feel there’s a different perspective on abortion that these persons need to see. As people who will never be faced with the prospect of an unwanted pregnancy, they should know for most women, the choice of abortion is never a choice made without a great deal of turmoil and emotional pain. Having made this decision, I believe women should have the same access to safe and legal medical care as the women who choose to carry a pregnancy to term. To deny this right would only con detnn thousands of women to seek unsafe abortions with their attendant morbidity and mortality. Making abortion illegal won’t stop women from having abortions any more than prohibition stopped the drinking of alcohol. The recent legislation sponsored by Senator John East, attempting to define the onset of life, is a blatant effort to circumvent the Supreme Court decision that establishes the right of a woman to have an abortion during the first six months of pregnancy. Passage of such legislation would make abortion murder. Setting aside the question of constitutionality how could any government agency enforce such a law? Would we set up a police state of informants and spies? Would we fill our prisons with otherwise law abiding men and women? Perhaps the state could execute a few of the most flagrant violators to prove it really meant business. Inherent in a democratic and pluralistic society is the right of its citizens to harbor many diverse beliefs and opinions within the confines of a common civilization. I respect the viewpoint of those who for moral or religious reasons oppose abortion as a personal option. 1 would never try to impose my own set of moral convictions on these persons. In the same vein, I don’t believe any group of people has the right to impose their own brand of morality on others under the cloak of law. In matters such as this only conscience should be a guide. JERRY W. MARTIN. M.D. in 1979 at the residences of Robert Craft and Norman Grimsley, both of Castleton. In accordance with a plea agreement, he was sentenced to five years on each count with a total of six years suspended upon good behavior. Whorton was placed on a work-release program by court order issued in Fauquier. Then on May 20 he was convicted in that county on charges of being drunk in public while on work-release. “It’s an indication that he doesn’t understand he’s had a break...that it’s time to clean up his act,’’ Konick maintained, requesting that the six years suspended sentence be imposed. To require Whorton to serve those six years would constitute double jeopardy, Whorton’s attorney, Lee Albrecht, argued. The court has reacted already to the drunk in public charge by removing Whorton from work-release, he said. In addition, Albrecht said, Whorton didn’t violate the good behavior terms of his probation because he wasn’t on probation. "Work release is not probation,” the attorney emphasized. He also questioned whether Whorton could be given additional jail time for being drunk in public when that doesn’t in and of itself result in a jail term and particularly since the defendant wasn’t afforded counsel on the charge. Robertson agreed that instituting the suspended sentence on top of removing Whorton from work-release would constitute double jeopardy. Whorton, who was not processed through the criminal penalty system until recently, would have been released from jail over four months ago if he'd been under the Department of Correction's control since imposition of his sentence, according to the Judge. “The amount of time he’s served for his transgressions is appropriate," Robertson said, noting that the drunk in public charge will be addressed by the parole board in considering Whorton’s release. “He’s paid amply for his violations and I’m not going to impose any more time on him.” Robertson also denied a request from the Virginia Department of Highways to overturn the $55,000 awarded in a condemnation suit for the school board’s bus shop. A highway department spokesman challenged the award on the basis of qualifications and training of the school board’s appraisers, Newbill Miller and James Leake. Both are residents of the county, licensed real estate salespersons who have bought and sold property in Rappahannock but have neither special training as appraisers nor membership in professional appraising organizations he said. In addition, the highway department’s representative said, the school board’s appraisers viewed the oneacre parcel in isolation rather than as part of a 23-acre tract. He asked that the $55,000 award be either lowered closer to the $22,642 assessment reached by the highway department’s appraiser, Walter Robinson of Warrenton, or set aside and a new hearing ordered. School board attorney James W. Fletcher countered that if special training or membership in professional organizations were qualifications for expert appraisers, then probably half the condemnation awards given in Virginia would be invalid. He pointed out that both appraisers have testivied in other civil actions while Miller is recognized as an expert appraiser by courts in Warren, Fauquier and Rappahannock. Fletcher also said that the one-acre bus shop site is one of the most valuable pieces of property in Rappahannock because of its location in an area targeted for business growth and because of its permissible commercial use. In overuling the highway department’s request, Robertson said he considered the school board’s appraisers to be qualified as experts. Holmes Estate A temporary injunction request from David Konick was denied by Robertson who declined on Monday to order the executor for the estate of Col. Earl Edward Holmes of Flint Hill to cease paying attorneys from its SI.5 million assets. Konick reported that lawyers George Davis, Peter Luke and Roland Hartshorn are being paid on an hourly basis from the estate by Peter E. Nielson who is both executor and sole beneficiary. He noted that counsel fees can only be paid from an estate with permission of the court. Konick maintained that it would be improper for the court to give that authorization until pending legal action settles the question of whether Nielson exerted undue influence or perpetrated fraud in persuading Col. Holmes to execute the contested will. He asked for a temporary injunction barring Nielson from paying counsel fees relating to the contested will Gatewood Charged On Monday, a Rappahannock grand jury brought back a true bill against Albert Wayne Gatewood in connection with the May 28 robbery of the Washington Cash Store. Gatewood, 24, of Washington, is charged with breaking and entering and stealing goods valued at $200 of more. With the issuance of a capias for his arrest, Gatewood will be brought before the court to have a date set for arraignment and trial. A true bill was found also against Larry Edison Aylor, 26, of Washington, on charges of possession of Preludun, a schedule II controlled substance. In addition, the grand jury brought back true bills for welfare fraud against Patricia A. Lusby of Amissville and Clara Lorena Black of Castleton, both believed to be currently in Florida. Trial was set for August 13 for Charles L. Longerbeam and Richard W. Courtney on charges of felonious escape. Athletic Physicals Scheduled Dates for the annual athletic physicals have been set for students participating in the Rappahannock County High School Athletic Program.

Boys are scheduled for August 4th at 5:30 p.m. 4th Enjoyed Dear Editor: This is Tiffany Purcell and I’m writing to tell you that my birthday is on the 4th of July. On July 4th my family and 1 went to a parade in Little Washington. We missed the parade but we got there in time to look at the things on display and get some corn on the cob and a coke. While we had nothing to do we went out and looked at houses. When we got back, we had supper and were entertained. Then we had races. 1 won the sack race and got a two dollar bill that was printed in 1976. Then we saw fireworks. They were great! After that we went home. I wish we saw fireworks everyday. Thanks to everyone for the fun. TIFFANY PURCELL Warrenton P.S. We love your town. Thank you for a wonderful day! Statement Corrected To the editor: As secretary I have been asked to correct a statement made in your nice interesting story on Mrs. Helen Kilby. The Rappahannock Arts and Crafts are still meeting at my place as they have done off and on for 19 years, and we are still teaching most any craft a participant wishes to learn. Recently we had classes on caning and weaving stool and chair seats, a full summer of pottery, and basket weaving. These are but a few of th«* crafts on may learn from the group which meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. We will have a “planning” meeting on future projects the second Tuesday of September. If you remember correctly the quilts mentioned we made and donated to the county’s five volunteer fire departments. Thank You. ELIZABETH M. THOMPSEN Secretary-treasurer Rappahannock Arts & Crafts The error was inadvertantly made by the reporter. There was no misrepresentation by Mrs. Kilby.—Ed. from the $1.5 million estate. Robertson declined to issue the injunction. He assured Konick, however, that if he determines payment has been made improperly, he will order restitution. Hearing on the question of attorney’s fees has been set for July 31. ++++ TOO many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. —James F. Byrnes

Foot Facts by Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot specialist THAT KNEE PAIN COULD BE FROM THE FOOT Many people begin to jog to get themselves in shape and reduce the risk of heart attacks, but are forced to stop because of knee pain. Approximately 2000 lbs. of force are applied to the foot with each running step. Often the foot may be slightly out of alignment with the ground, but this malalignment may not show up until the person starts to jog. The stress that begins In the foot is transferred up the leg into the knee and continued up into the hip. Many times this problem may be treated with a simple insert in the shoe to help realign the foot to the ground. This can reduce or eliminate the pain In the knee (or back). The extra stress of jogging may show up other minor problems with the foot. If so, seek attention, for staying active helps keep you healthy. —Bruce I. Vogel, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.S.

"That needs to be pointed out,” he said. In the first contest Saturday morning. Skyline took on Lane of Charlottesville. a triple A team picked as probable tournament winner. Skyline came out on top. 8-7. The only team to play a back-to-back double header in the first round. Skyline lost to Front Royal that afternoon, 9-6.

Coach Leake reported that he received above average play from all the Panthers who participated in the Fredericksburg tournament. “Especially from left fielder Rob Brown. He was our leading hitter, getting seven hits in 11 times at bat,” Leake said. David Herndon, who went two for six, and Tony Williams, who was four for seven, also had good days in the batters box, according to the coach. “They both got long triples that would have been home runs if the field had a fence,” Leake said. H. B. Wood, Chucky Jenkins and Craig Williams all played errorless ball in the tournament. Leake said. In addition, he noted that Wood stole five bases. On July 25, the Golden Panthers will have a special awards assembly to mark the end of their first season. The assembly will be held at Capt. Howard Holschuh’s residence in Castleton at 2 p.m. “AH the kids who played on the Golden Panthers deserve awards and recognition for sportsmanship and talent they displayed this season,” Leake concluded.

Class A Contractor’s License Triplett’s Garden Explodes With Produce (Continued from Page 1) growers by the big canning companies. Their success in the city with apples added to Ted’s inclination towards testing his theories in marketing vegetables. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was about 20 years old,” he admitted. So this season, he and George started up the tractors and tilled 13 acres at Triplett’s farm on Route 626 near Castleton. They put nine acres in corn and the rest they planted with enough vegetables to stock the product department of an entire grocery chain. The sprawling garden has 2,000 cabbage plants, 1,000 broccoli plants, 1,200 to 1,500 heads of cauliflower, a couple hundred brussel sprouts and eggplants that the Tripletts are trying to grow for the first time, 150 pounds of onion sets and over 1,200 tomato plants representing every variety Ted could find. They sewed 60 pounds of peas, 200 pounds of limas, 600 pounds of potatoes and 200 pounds of string beans. "And I’ve got to buy more,” he added of the beans. Trial Ron This year is a learning experience as the Triplett brothers try to determine what sells best on the direct market. Peas are probably out for next year. “They require a lot of work for a relatively small return,” Ted reported. “I didn’t get the return on peas that I should have even though we picked as many as six bushels in one day.” The demand hasn’t been what he expected for broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts either, despite asking far less than what’s charged for the same vegetables in grocery stores. But greens are another matter. When Ted finishes picking his nine acres of corn, he plans to replant the entire plot in greens for fall harvest. “My biggest return this year has been with mustard greens. I can’t believe the damn stuff! I could sell 30 bushels at a time in D.C. if I had them. Triplett said he’d spent $6.60 for a pound of mustard seed. “I’ve gotten at least $500 back already,’’ he added. Beet and turnips look like they prove to be almost as lucrative. Ted’s cut off the tops twice for greens that sold like hotcakes. His original cost has been repaid many times over and the high priced part of the plant is still in the ground.

Family Labor He hasn’t figured in the cost of labor, all of which he and his brother supply themselves. The two men have put in uncounted hours. “We’ve had time for picking and selling and that’s about it,” he said. "And sowing,” Lucy interjected. “Not much,” Ted responded, shaking his head. “We don’t have time to put out new plants and I haven’t even played golf but one or two times this year.” As for his beef cattle operation, the cows are taking care of themselves, according to Triplett. “And they’re doing a right good job of it!” Just the beans alone look like they’d require a lifetime to harvest. With 6,000 feet of plants in rows 740 feet long. “I know I’ve been doing some picking when I get to the end of one of those!” Ted joked. “With all the labor that’s required, truck farm ing is a young persons game. I should have started it years ago,” he said, adding that this type of farming is ideally suited as a family operation with kids working alongside their folks to lighten the load. But according to Triplett, the real key is salesmanship. “That’s the secret. I know how to sell. That’s the best point I’ve got...You dpn’t have to worry about buying hogs to clean up the garden. There’s nothing left if you know how to sell.” Ted’s easy going manner, his love of a friendly conversation make him a natural at the selling game. “And you have to have good produce and not get greedy," he acknowledged. “Treat your customers right and they’ll come back.” “Now that’s the top secret—not to get greedy,” Lucy maintained. “Sometimes you might lose a little money by keeping your prices low but in the long run, you’ll make more that way.” Big Buaineaa In D.C. In D. C. where the Tripletts haul their vegetables to market on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it’s a real cutthroat business with other dealers rolling in from as far away as Delaware and Pennsylvania. Ted drives a diesel pick-up for truck garden produce, figuring the roundtrip takes about S10 in gas. Later, he’ll use a big flatbed for carrying larger loads of peaches and apples, bringing the cost of the drive up to $38. “We sell right off the truck. There are usually 25 trucks down there selling at one time. Some have as many as five people working at a time, bagging vegetables and taking money.’’ On Saturday’s the Triplett brothers make a shorter jaunt to Culpeper’s farmers market where the pace is a bit slower and they plan to open soon at their apple house in Linden on Saturdays and Sundays. “Every market’s different,” Ted reported. “We’re really working with profess-pros at the D. C. market. They’re really good.*’ Triplett emphasized that he hasn’t decided yet whether the truck garden business is going to be a permanent thing. Although he’s done well with greens and several other vegetables, it’s still too early to tell what the total return will be. “But I don’t mind taking a gamble,” he added. The Tripletts are proud of their venture. “It’s small scale free enterprise—one of the things that make this country great,” Lucy explained. “Why do you think farming works in this country and not in Russia? There’s a lesson there and it’s a very important lesson. The family farmer lives with his crops and with his livestock. You can’t pay a man enough to stay with a cow until 1 or 2 a.m. on weekends, Thanksgiving and Christmas, waiting for her to calve. Nobody else will do it but the man who owns that cow.” Orchardist Sam Snead also sees direct marketing as the salvation of the family farm, at least until the economic picture changes. “It’s the way to go. Farmers are taking a real beating now. A farmer can take his own operation and fit it into a pick-yourown set up or some other type of direct marketing with as little land as a half acre or as much as a 100.” Smaller Scale Snead is one of the converts to direct marketing who’s been influenced by Triplett’s success. “But I’m just getting my feet wet,” he FARM MANAGER WANTED Experienced herdsman and farmer needed immediately for 400 acre cattle farm near Middletown, Va.

Maurtca O’Bannon 967-6713 John Eubank, Jr. 967-6146 675-3674 BudCordar 635-5691 noted. He’s planning on taking a truck loaded with apples to markets in Fairfax and Arlington twice a week this season. He’s also put in a large vegetable garden so he’ll have produce to sell until the apples come in and he’s planted a half acre of sweet corn for a pick-yourown experiment next to the co-op on Route 211 where he’ll have a roadside stand. In addition, Snead intends to offer pick-your-own apples as well as selling fruit in the city and to the canneries, his only outlet in past years. It’s all a matter of economics. ‘‘Ten cents a pound is a tremendous price for apples. That works out to $4 a bushel. If I could get $4, that would be wonderful. I’d be rich!” Snead joked. ‘‘But I was averaging about SI a bushel from the cannery.” He sees direct marketing as benefitting both the consumer and the producer. “I should have done this a long time ago instead of trying to be one man against a big company that can pretty well dictate what it will pay. Direct marketing is a way we can get more for our crops by eliminating the middle man. The consumer has a cheaper, fresher product and I make more money. I benefit. They benefit. Everybody’s happy!” Diversify To Survive Snead doesn’t intend to plant any more apple trees, when his orchards need replacements, he’ll put in peaches, plums and other fruits. ‘‘I want to diversify. I’m trying to go as many different ways as I can so I’m not at the mercy of a processor just a few buyers. Direct marketing is a sign of the times and I’m doing what’s necessary to hang on.” Livestock producers have also adopted the direct marketing approach. Lois Snead has sheep that she’ll take directly to the slaughter house for a buyer or sell off her farm at a slightly lower price to someone who wants to take the animal to the butchers themselves. “Buying directly from the farmer is going to become very important to the marketing of agricultural products in the future,” maintained cattleman Newbill Miller who last year advertised half or whole steers for sale off his Ginger Hill farm. Consumers buy the animal live and Miller takes it to the slaughter house where it’s butchered and wrapped for the freezer. Miriam Harris of Huntly thinks direct marketing is “the only answer for the small scale farmer.” She has one acre in organic strawberryies in a pick-yourown operation that she plans to expand. She began with labor from people who were interested in learning to work on a farm and is now switching to a more commercial approach, trying to hire local teenagers or unemployed laborers through the Virginia Employment Commission for the planting, weeding, fertilizing, mowing and thinning that must be done regularly on her plot. “I have made money with pick-your-own strawberries, unlike other ventures I’ve tried on the farm. Of all my enterprises, including a cowcalf operation, this has been ' the most profitable,” she reported. But direct marketing has provided more than dollars in the bank, according to Miriam. “It’s enabled me to earn something for myself, to provide jobs for the kind of labor in this area that still needs work and it’s kept my land in farming," she concluded.
