Both expressed pleasure at the friendly welcome extended on their arrival in the county. Washington Man Dies In Farm Pond Aaron John Fletcher, 47, of Washington was pronounced dead on arrival at Warren Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, July 21, an apparent drowning victim in a tragic accident that occurred at a pond just outside of town. Late Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Herbert Smoot requested assistance from the Sheriffs Department in removing Fletcher, a former Sperryville Carnival Open , Bright lights will illuminate the Sperryville carnival grounds this week as the annual fund-raiser, which got underway last night, will continue through Saturday night, July 25. A variety of fun, amusements, games, concessions, rides and good food will be among the outstanding features of the carnival. A grand parade is scheduled for tonight, Thursday, at 7 p.m. Floats, majorettes, marching units, comics, fire and rescue units will be among those on parade. Highlighting Friday will be the crowning ceremony for the honorary fire chief and some prizes will be awarded. Climaxing the four-night event Saturday will be the awarding of the grand prize and other prizes. This is the annual event by which funds are secured to provide operating monies for these volunteer organizations. The support and attendance of all will be appreciated. mental patient, from her property. When Sheriff W. A. Buntin and deputy John Henry Woodard arrived at the Smoots’ residence, they spotted Fletcher walking through the Field in the direction of a pond on James DeBergh’s farm. They attempted to catch up with Fletcher but by the time they . reached him, he had climbed down the steep embankment of the pond dam and was standing in waist high water. Attempts by the sheriff and deputy to persuade Fletcher to get out were unsuccessful. Herbert Smoot joined them and tried to assist Buntin and Woodard in pulling Fletcher from the pond. However, he continued backing out further into deeper water. The sheriff noted the rescuers couldn’t reach Fletcher, described as a large and powerful man. without getting into the pond themselves since they had neither ropes nor anchors. As he went further into the pond, Fletcher began holding his breath, going pnder the water, coming up and blowing out his breath, according to Buntin. His father arrived at the scene and Smoot left to get a ladder from his house while Buntin, the only swimmer in the group, started disrobing in preparation for going in after Fletcher. At that point, according to the sheriff, Fletcher appeared to completely relax, slid under the water and didn't come back up. Both Buntin and Trooper C. A. Moore who had arrived at the scene immediately jumped into the pond and using Smoot's ladder for assistance, they pulled Fletcher out. Buntin (Continued on Page 2) Concerned Over Misused Property Estabrook Sets High Standards At his first meeting last week, Rappahannock’s new superintendent of schools shared a “negative concern" with his board members, something that Robert Estabrook acknowledged as part of his job but said is a responsibility that he doesn't relish. Estabrook reported that he stopped by one of the county’s two public schools on July 10 for a quick tour and found “evidence of misuse of equipment and supplies (and) general sloppiness outside the building as well as inside.” The new superintendent said he'd expressed his displeasure. “1 don’t want to be unreasonable but I want the board, the patrons of the schools and the teachers to know that I’m concerned about school property,” he said. “My intent is not to wield a giant ax...But part of my intent is also to set a high standard.” At the July 14 session, the first meeting of the new fiscal year, the board re-elected Beverly Massie as chairman and selected Newbill Miller as vice-chairman. Meetings will continue to be held on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school library. Massie was chosen again as the board’s representative on the Piedmont Regional Carnival At Chester Gap Chester Gap firemen and rescue squad personnel opened their fund-raising carnival last night and it will continue through Saturday night, July 25. At the conclusion of the gala event prizes will be awarded. Each evening there will be games, amusements, food and fun for the entire family. Young and old will enjoy the festivities and the midway which will feature many thrilling rides. Tickets for rides are 35 cents each or three for a dollar. These volunteer organizations depend on the support of the public for financing the yearly operation of the building, machinery and vehicles. Your support will be appreciated. School’s board and Nelson Lane was named Meet New Supt. School patrons and county citizens are invited to meet Dr. Robert Estabrook, the newly employed superintendent of schools for Rappahannock County, on Monday, July 27. He will be at Rappahannock County High School at 8 p.m. to meet the public. representative to the educational television station. The chairman reported that she’d been contacted by a representative from the Virginia Department of Highways and told that if the board has plans to build a new school bus shop, the highway department will reconsider its decision, to charge $100 per month rent for the old site. (In a recent condemnation proceeding, the school board was awarded $55,000 for the one acre lot which was taken fof the widening of Route 211.) “It would be ridiculous not to continue to rent,” maintained Newbill Miller. He reported that the highway department has cancelled condemnation proceedings against B&B Service Station, the bus shop's neighbor. “It might be five years, it might be never” before 211 is widened between Washington and Sperryville, he added. Board Doe* Have Plant But $100 a month until the highway is widened and the school board has to build a new shop could add up to as much as $10,000, according to Robert Eastham. He suggested that the board tell the highway department “Yes, we have plans. We’ve had plans for years and we will continue to have plans...That doesn’t mean we have to start construction!” If the board followed that approach, he said, it possibly (Continued on Page 2) R CHS Space Needs Emphasized Again By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kap|>ahann«K'k Staff lriti>r “Some young ladies were in tears when they were told that they couldn’t take office practice,” science teacher Brion Patterson reported, as he repeated the now familiar litany of space needs at the county high school to the Rappahannock school board. Speaking on behalf of the Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA). Patterson reviewed for the board at its July 14 session some of the problems caused by lack of space at RCHS: —Ten students left out of the office practice class, all of them seniors, will not be able to complete the state minimum program in business. —There will be no remedial math instruction that a math lab would provide. —Forty-five students who wanted to enroll have been taken out of math classes for the coming school year. Patterson noted that many localities across the state, Culpeper included, “have decided that they can afford three years of math instruction for all students...a basic for good education.” —There will be no academic English classes for 1981-82 in eighth, ninth and tenth grades. Offering this option would better prepare Rappahannock students for college, according to Patterson. —An entire class section will not be able to take typing I. —Students who asked for art will not be able to take that class. (In reviewing curriculum Deputy Charged Steve Crossman of Sperryville has been charged with arson as the result of a fire which badly damaged his Ford pick-up truck. Crossman, then a deputy with the Rappahannock Sheriff's Department, reported the truck fire which occurred May 26 to the state police as possible arson. Trooper C. A. Moore called in William P. Schultze of the state police's special arson unit in Culpeper for the investigation. Crossman was charged last Thursday and released Friday on SI,000 bond. He has tendered his resignation from the Sheriffs Department effective July 16. A hearing is scheduled for August 11. earlier this year, the school board agreed to up math requirements for graduation from two to three years, offer an additional section of typing I, expand the business program, add a remedial math lab and offer academic and general English in grades 8-12. The board balked, however, at implementing the changes when faced with providing space and teachers for the broader course offerings.) In addition, Patterson cited need for expanded restroom, storage, library and science lab facilities. “It would be wonderful if once and for all we could retire. Mr. Wood’s famous water hose that carries water across the hall (from the custodian’s supply room to Wood’s biology class),’’ Patterson said. Discussed For Six Years A capital outlay program at the high school has been under discussion for at least six years, he continued. He encouraged the board to push forward with plans for building, to meet with architects and bring an expansion package before the supervisors. Patterson asked if the school board members had gotten together yet with local architect Avery Faulkner to discuss building plans. (After the board members absorbed part of supervisor cuts to the 1981-82 budget by dropping $6,000 for architectural services, they agreed to meet with Faulkner (Continued on Page 3) Right-Of-Way Needed For Well Mattie Ball Fletcher Shares Secrets of Gardening And Canning KapptlMnnock >«*%*• rbnin/ 5.

Staff rilt*r Mention cooking or gardening to anyone in Rappahannock County and the same name keeps popping up: Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher of Little Washington. This amazing woman gardens extensively, cans, pickles and freezes enough to last through the winter, and cooks with such attention and imagination that Gourmet magazine visited her for lunch several years ago. "They called me ‘silverhaired’,” she chuckled. "Well 1 am old, so 1 don’t tell my age. Everyone knows I’m old. and that’s enough." Her age so far hasn't slowed her down a bit and See more gardening features on pages 6 and 7 her graciousness and hospitality impressed her granddaughters so much that they collected some of her favorite recipes in a cookbook called Favorite Recipes of a Rappahannock Lady: From the Collection of Martha Ball Fletcher. To her garden she brings an equal amount of energy and inventiveness: trying new seeds, using different companion plantings, making up unusual vegetable recipes. She has been gardening for so long that she can’t remember just when she started but she remembers having a garden at Thornton Hill, where she lived for 50 years, and has kept a garden in Little Washington for 15 years. All those years of gardening have taught her a few tricks. She is able to grow lettuce throughout the summer by covering the row of seed with a board for a few days. “This I works best if you raise thef board up after a few days'] and keep it propped up over! the row,” she said. “That way, the newi sprouts get some light and air circulation but don’t get the worst of the heat.” . Celery is also shaded when she puts it in. “If you don’t have a board, then use^ boxwood cuttings,” she said, i . “The branches protect the plants from the sun and they don’t wilt very fast.” Mrs. Fletcher has a good stand of celery, a vegetable that's • considered rather difficult to v grow. “To me, it’s real easy,” she said. ^ By accident, Mrs. Fletcher discovered that okra could be rg planted in a row, then in- t terplanted with cucumbers when about three inches high. “The cucumbers just climb right up the okra,” she said. “Of course, sometimes I help them a little.” Mattie Ball Fletcher has lived in Rappahannock County all of her life except for a brief interlude when she lived in Richmond with her husband while he was on the State Corporation Commission. ‘‘We always came back here on weekends, though,” she said. She remembers a much slower time here and in Culpeper where she spent a lot of time visiting her grandparents. “I loved to go to dances as a girl,” she said. “I (Continued on Page 3) Cancer Clinic Next Week Friday, July 31 will b< Mouth Cancer Detection Daj in Rappahannock County a: part of a combined projeci from the American Cancel Society, the Medical College of Virginia School of Den tistry and the Dental Divisior of the State Health Department.

While negotiations over right-of-way acquisition go on, the town of Washington continues to get its water from the old town well. The reservoir for the public water system remains full. The four gallon per minute output from the old well makes it imperative, however, that users conserve water whenever possible. “That’s not just for us,” cautioned mayor Newbill Miller. “That’s for everyone in the county with a private well," he said, noting that the state’s continuing drought has brought ground water levels to near record lows. Miller reported that the structure to house the town’s new 150 gallon per minute well has been constructed, the pump installed and electricity connected. All that remains is to purchase rightof-way so that the pipes can be laid to hook the well into the system. In the meantime, Miller noted, should the supply from the old well prove inadequate, fire hose can be strung from the well to the nearest hydrant to ensure i that town taps do not run dry again.

Forest Grove Bible Stolen A large, old BiWe> the original Bible of the Forest Grove Baptist Church at Viewtown, has been taken from the church and a reward has been offered for its return, according to a church spokesman. In addition windows, including a stained glass one, have been broken and other devastations have occurred. A reward is offered for information leading to the recovery of the Bible or the arrest and conviction of the person or persons vandalizing the church and stealing the Bible. The church property is now posted as well as the old Forest Grove school property and it is unlawful to trespass on church property after dark for any reason, whether the land is posted or not.

Poisonous Snakebite In case of a bite from a poisonous snake, the most important thing to remember is to stay calm, according to Dr. Werner Krebser of the Rappahannock Medical Clinic. Increased activity will only speed the spread of poison through the body. The venom of Virginia’s poisonous snakes is primarily hemotoxic; that is, it destroys blood and lymph cells. This process takes a little time and the bitten person can usually reach medical help before any major damage is done. “You’re in good shape if you can get to the hospital in a half hour to an hour,’’ Krebser said. He noted that the speed with which the venom takes effect depends on how many times the victim was bitten, the location of the bite, how long it has been since the. snake last struck and other factors. Krebser suggested that the reptile be brought to the hospital if possible to determine positively whether it's poisonous and what species it belongs to. He added, however, that universal anti-venom effective against all types of poisonous snakes is available. “Unless you know how to incise and apply suction, you will probably do more damage than good,” Krebser said of emergency first aid. However, if the patient is far from transportation, "The Snakes of Virginia” lists the following emergency measures: 1. Make absolutely sure it was a poisonous snake that bit you. 2. Stay calm and do not drink alcohol. 3. Make a longitudinal incision '/» to '/« inch long and '/«inch deep at the site of the bite with a sterile blade. Do not make multiple incisions. 4. Apply suction at this point with a suction bulb or with the mouth if there are no cavities or ulcers. Steps 3 and 4'are of little value if hot done within the first: 30 minutes after a bite. Snake bites should not be iced and neither should tourniquets be applied to restrict the spread of venom. “That will concentrate the venom even more,” Krebser said, adding that this concentration will kill muscles and skin and result in an injury that resembles a deep burn. Man Dies In Pond (Continued from Page 1) reported that the man was under two to three minutes before they could get him to the bank. Trooper Moore administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while deputy Woodard applied pressure to the victim's chest until the ambulance arrived. Their efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. Fletcher's body was taken to Fairfax Hospital Wednesday morning for a coroner’s report.

Cliff Sutherland killed a three to four foot long snake with a mason’s hoe Sunday evening as it slithered across his front lawn. “It was a big thick one, about as thick as an arm, but it didn’t have any rattles on it. It was a velvet tail timber rattler,” he reported. Then on Monday, Sutherland’s neighbor on the other side of the lane surprised a four foot rattler in his back yard. The snake killed by Robert Jenkins had nine rattles and a button. The snake measured longer than any rattler Jenkins has slain in the past, he said, but had fewer rattles than the 14 sported by a reptile his brother killed last year. To date this snake season, Jenkins’ tally is running a little behind the three dispatched last summer. But there appear to be plenty around in Jenkins Hollow. According to Robert Jenkins, Aylett Buckner killed two while mowing his next door orchards in the past couple of weeks, more to come Two Varieties Here According to “The Snakes of Virginia,” there are just two varieties of poisonous snakes found in this area of the state: the timber rattlesnake and the copperhead. Of the total 36 species and subspecies of snakes in the Commonwealth, only four are poisonous. It’s easy to identify rattlesnakes, but what if the snake has no rattle? The following are points to remember in recognizing poisonous varieties: —All the poisonous snakes of Virginia are pit vipers; that is, they possess a heatsensing pit located a little below the mid-point between eye and nostril on each side of the head. No nonpoisonous species have it. —Poisonous snakes have a single row of scales going clear across the underside of the forward portion of the tail. Nonpoisonous snakes have two rows down the entire tail. POISONOUS VERTICAL PUPIL / PIT Underside of tail. —Eyes of poisonous snakes have vertically elliptical pupils. The pupil is round in nonpoisonous snakes. The best method to determine whether a snake is poisonous, however, is to learn to recognize color patterns and body form —something that can be done at a distance. The northern copperhead has hourglass patterns of dark or reddish brown on a background of light brown to reddish gray. The head is usually a coppery color and the snake has dark spots along the sides of the belly. The young, bom alive from mid-August to early October, look like adults but with brighter colors and a sulfuryellow tip on the tail. Copperheads are generally eight to 48 inches long. They’re found almost anywhere there are rodents —bams, lumber piles, berry piles, sawdust piles, berry thickets, rock ledges, edges of fields, haystacks. Some hibernate with the timber rattlesnake in the mountains. The timber rattler is found only m the mountainous portion of the state. It has two color phases: the black phase where the head and posterior one-third of the body are black with incomplete chevrons and black saddles almost obscured and the yellow phase where the head has little black pigment with black or brown saddles and chevrons evident against a yellow background. The tail is black in both phases. The young, born alive in August and September, are patterned like the yellow phase but less brightly colored. Timber rattlers grow from 10 to 60 inches long and hibernate in rock out croppings in winter. In summer, the snakes scatter to such areas as second-growth clearings, berry patches and orchards. Game warden Jim Bankston reports that timber rattlesnakes are especially prevalent in Jenkins, Harris and Old Hollows, all sites with rocky ridges that provide a perfect habitat. He added that copperheads can be found almost anywhere in the county. According to Bankston, the same three factors that have driven other wildlife into developed areas have sent snakes down from the mountains into backyards of homes: lack of moisture, diminished food supply and NON-POISONOUS ROUND PUPIL encroachment of man. Bankston noted that the majority of snakes killed in Rappahannock turn out to be nonpoisonous varieties.

The board agreed to tell the highway department it has no construction plans and reaffirm the S100 per month rental fee. In other action, the board decided to begin a comprehensive review of all school insurance coverage with a report on current policies due from the superintendent at the August meeting. Unanimous and enthusiastic approval was given for a letter of appreciation to retiring elementary teacher Lavinia Barron for what chairman Massie described as “splendid services offered to the school system and all the children in the community.” It s very richly deserved, Miller added. Massie also reported that money for the two cash registers required for implementation of new unqualified audit procedures was taken from cafeteria funds rather than the schools’ operating budget following approval of the “justifiable expense” by the state director for cafeterias. The school board met in executive session on personnel for over an hour but took no action on appointments to vacant teaching positions. Earlier in the meeting, assistant superintendent Gerald Lysik reported current vacancies for a kindergarten and learning disabled resource teacher at the elementary school and at the high school, two combined positions as guidance counselor-social studies teacher and math-science teacher and two regular positions in business and industrial arts.

REDUCING ELECTRICAL BILL The cost of running a home has increased with the cost of living. But the monthly electric bill (thanks mainly to the increased cost of fuel) has more than doubled the cost of living rate in some areas around the country. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce this expense. Here are some suggestions from the Federal Energy Office: Concentrate lightii ? in the reading and working areas - reduce lighting in other areas. . . Use one large bulb rather than several smaller ones. One 100-watt bulb produces more light than two 60watt bulbs. . . Use clothes washer, dryer and dishwasher only when they are fully-loaded. . . Wash clothes in cold water with cold water detergents. If everyone did this, some 160,000 barrels of oil per day could be saved nationally. A household's dollar saving would be about 4 per cent. One 100-watt bulb burning around the clock for one year wastes more than 60 gallons of oil and adds $28 to your electric bill. Finally, a 40^watt fluorescent bulb gives more light than a 100-watt incandescent one. It lasts 10 times as long and uses half the energy. ooo If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Chairman Beverly Massie replied that the board was trying to work out a schedule {o see Faulkner at his convenience on a Friday evening when the weekend resident is in the county. She restated the school board’s decision to ‘‘explore possibilities" on capital outlay so that when “need and the economy allow," it will have a building proposal with which to proceed. Patterson maintained that it’s the board’s responsibility to present an expansion plan which meets the educational needs of Rappahannock’s school children and the supervisors’ responsibility to determine if the county can afford that building program. He repeated that the school board should present a capital improvements proposal "and allow the people of Rappahannock County to speak through their elected representatives on the board of supervisors.” At some point, the members of the board of supervisors should have to vote one way or another on capital outlay for the high school, Patterson said, and then answer for their action to the voters. School Board Okay First Before anything gets to the board of supervisors, Robert Eastham interjected, it must have a stamp of approval from the school board whose responsibility it is to provide educational facilities. “This board has to agree and determine what the needs are in regard to building.” (By marjority vote, with' Eastham opposed, the school board agreed last March to have architectural drawings made for two science laboratories, two guidance r-AmeriGas*i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a tour county area Propane gas lor full house use. hearing water heating and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters TF offices, clerk-typist classroom, storage facilities and restrooms for handicapped at RCHS as a second step, following curriculum review, toward a capital improvements program. Plans for the drawings were cancelled, however, after the school board chose to take a portion of the funds cut by the supervisors from 1981-82’s operating budget out of architectural fees.) "In transition, sometimes things are lost,” interjected Nancy Reeve, referring to the recent change in superintendents. She said that she had thought the school board's decision last month to buy an additional office practice console would accommodate the students who otherwise would have been unable to take that class. In addition, said Massie, the board instructed the superintendent to give seniors First consideration in scheduling for office practice. Even with the extra console, ten seniors will not be able to take the course due to space limitations, according to Patterson. Academic English “My other concern was academic English,” Reeve continued. “I thought we were going to try to offer it as far down as we could get.” The board indicated it wanted to institute academic English in eighth, ninth and tenth grades if possible within existing facilities, Massie said, but whether this is possible won’t be known until scheduling is completed for next year. (Principal Dennis Wingfield reported on Thursday that the administration began scheduling for tenth graders with general and higher English classes. He noted, however, that having to accommodate tenth graders in classes at Piedmont Regional School and the required physical education courses offered only two periods per day was turning the higher English class into general English.) Later in the meeting. Nelson Lane announced that he will try to arrange a meeting with architect Avery Faulkner for discussion of capital outlay on either July 24 or August 7. ^ Parkway (New York Style) Deli Featuring Subs and Deli Sandwiches Fine Luncheon Meats & Cheeses Open for your convenience from: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM • Mon. thru Thurs. 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM • Fri. thru Sun.

This was to protect the unfortunate young man from any notoriety. Now, dancing doesn’t look as if it could be much fun.” Mrs. Fletcher has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. “One of my great-grandchildren got married two years ago,” she said. "1 told her: now, don’t go making me a great-great grandmother.” In Mrs. Fletcher’s garden the center is dominated by a giant boxwood arch that divides the garden into two parts and forms a walkway down the middle. On one side, with the celery and lettuce, okra and cucumbers already mentioned, are tomatoes — Mrs. Fletcher grows mostly the Italian Roma tomatoes, squash, onions, dill, parsley. basil, potatoes, beans, salsify, cabbage, and rhubarb. On the other side of the boxwoods are her flowers: zinnias, marigolds, salvia, nasturtiums, daisies and delphinium. Mrs. Fletcher cultivates Queen Anne’s Lace, which rewards her with blooms twice as large as those found wild. She likes to move her flowers around a lot, and is able to do so even in the summer heat by using a little creativity. “1 moved some zinnias in full bloom,” she says. “I was able to keep them from wilting by using an old umbrella stuck in the ground. It worked fine, but folks probably thought I was crazy with an umbrella growing in my garden.” Mrs. Fletcher does like to go about her business with a sense of humor and she tells the story about the time a little cat showed up at her door. "I was unable to care for it so I tried to get the animal put on welfare,” she said. “Of course, I was turned down, but I did eventually find a good home for him.” Mrs. Fletcher disappeared into the old county jail which is part of her house and reappeared with a jar of beautifully canned Italian tomatoes. “I call this my ‘landing room,',” she said. "Everything that I don’t know what to do with lands here - at least until I get around to fixing this room up." Fletchers uses some sugar, vinegar, and hot pepper in the water she pours over the skinned plum tomatoes for cold pack. She adds a slice of onion, sometimes a piece of pepper or celery before processing the quart jars for eighteen minutes. But she cautions that the little pieces of anything extra must be kept to a minimum so that the acidity of the tomatoes will preserve the jar. Mrs. Fletcher gave us some other recipes - favorites of hers with garden vegetables. In the first page of her cookbook she admonishes the reader to use “gumption" in cooking. Good advice to cooks — and advice that Mattie Ball Fletcher has obviously followed—using an extra measure of "gumption" in cooking, in gardening and in living. Swiss Chard Boil chard until tender.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JULY 23,1981 On RCHS Wiring Eastham Requests OSHA Investigation By DAPHINE HUTCHINSON Kapiuhannork Vw Staff * riler A blown-out computer at Rappahannock County High School and charges from a school board member of safety hazards posed by ungrounded wires has led to another round of investigations by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of Virginia’s Department of Labor. Problems with wiring at the high school were brought to the school board's attention when former superintendent William Bloomer recommended that surplus funds left over in the 1980-81 budget be used to buy a new computer. The old computer, which was used in math and science classes and for the gifted and talented program, was destroyed by an electrical surge through ungrounded wiring, according to Bloomer. In response to questions from the board. Bloomer acknowedged that wiring else where in the school may lack the necessary grounding, creating the possibility that persons may receive electrical snocKs ana more equipment may be damaged. The board instructed Bloomer to investigate the extent of this alleged safety hazard and take corrective steps. In the meantime, school board member Robert Eastham reported the wiring defect to OSHA and requested an inspection of the high school's circuitry. Elliot Scruggs from the Virginia Department of Labor's Industrial Safety Division confirmed in a telephone interview on Tuesday that Eastham also asked to meet with OSHA investigators when they visited the county last month in answer to his complaint on the wiring. According to Scruggs. Eastham wanted to meet with the agents at his home. They refused and suggested instead that Eastham meet them at the high school. Eastham wouldn't go along with that. Scruggs said, and so the session was held at the TeePee Restaurant in Sperryville as a compromise. This type of arrangement isn't standard OSHA practice. according to Scruggs. "1 don't know of any reason why Mr. Eastham wouldn't come to the high school where the problem was in the first place,” he said. Private Citizen? When the wiring question was brought up at the July 14 session of the school board, Eastham said that "a private citizen of this county immediately reported” the possibility of ungrounded electrical connections to OSHA after learning of the potential safety hazard during discussion of buying a new computer at the earlier board meeting. On Tuesday, Scruggs could not recall whether Eastham represented himself as a school board member or private citizen when, by telephone, he requested the OSHA investigation. At the July 14 meeting, Newbill Miller, who had expressed concern over the potential safety hazard presented by ungrounded wiring, asked why the problem was an OSHA matter. “The safety of employees and children is at stake,” Eastham replied. Board member Nancy Reeve countered that OSHA was concerned solely with employee safety. Eastham disagreed, maintaining that he had been told in a meeting with OSHA agents that they were responsible for both employee and student safety. Reeve asked when Eastham had met with OSHA representatives. “The last time they were up here,” the Wakefield representative replied. Employee Protection Only According to Scruggs, OSHA is concerned with employee safety only. ‘‘It leaks over ...When we protect the employee, we also protect the students as well. But when we investigate (an alleged safety hazard), we’re checking it for employee safety.” As regards the wiring at the high school, Scruggs said this qualifies as a legitimate OSHA concern because school employees also use the computer. Since instructors operate a computer which has a potential for giving an electrical shock because of ungrounded wiring, “we can take care of that," he ex plained. Scruggs emphasized, however, that no investigation has been conducted as yet except on the high school shop. ‘‘We checked out the electrical system and many other items in the shop...It was a trap, believe me!” he reported. As a result of that earlier inspection prompted by a complaint from a parent whose daughter was injured in the shop class, OSHA issued a long list of safety violations. After receiving assurances from former superintendent Bloomer that the shop equipment involved in the citations would not be used until OSHA made another inspection and certified all safety hazards corrected, Scruggs said his office was willing to wait until the new superintendent had aan opportunity to become familiar with the situation before proceeding. Pot To Bid In June, the board approved payment of a $3,283 bill from Robert Clatterbuck for repairs at the shop covering all safety violations except, according to Bloomer, installation of explosion proof sockets and connectors in the paint finishing room. Since the board has a selfimposed $1,000 limit without putting a project out for bid, Clatterbuck was instructed to stop. The board agreed to have specifications drawn and put the balance of the work to correct the safety hazards out on bids. If Clatterbuck is the successful bidder, repairs are to resume with an OSHA inspection to come at the completion of the job. If Clatterbuck isn’t the successful bidder, his work will be inspected by OSHA with another inspection of the second contractor’s part to come at the finish of the job. Contacted on Tuesday, new superintendent Robert Estabrook said he is proceeding under the board’s instructions. As to the wiring. we certainly intend to have a proper investigation done,” he said. Estabrook noted that his over-riding concern was the safety of students. “We’re trying to protect the children, whatever it means.” He emphasized that the shop equipment will not be used until safety certification is received from OSHA and that the new computer would not be used until the wiring problem is corrected, in accordance with school board directives. Scruggs said OSHA is waiting to hear from Estabrook before conducting an inspection of the high school’s wiring or a follow-up check on repairs in the shop. He noted, however, that what his field agents understood Eastham wanted to have done was beyond OSHA’s scope. “We can check out an electrical system to see if it’s properly grounded...but we can’t tear out walls to check the wiring,” Scruggs said. “I don’t know what Mr. Eastham wants.” he concluded. Correction Dr. John Einarson, regional health department director, has requested a correcton of information included in the July 16 article on rabies to the effect that most persons who acquired rabies infection had been treated with post-exposure rabies vaccine. “Since the Duck Embryo Vaccine was first used in the — Rappahannock News Photo/T.

Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Takes Issue With Physicians To the editor: With due respect for the well-expressed opinions of Doctors Krebser and Martin, I should like to take issue with some of the proabortionist arguments put forth in their recent letters to the editor. Dr. Krebser allows that the human fetus has “biological life” but contends that “...the conflict arises when the product of conception from its onset is supposed to have a spiritual life.” The doctor appears to miss the point of the abortion controversy. The arguments are not over whether or not the unborn child possesses a spiritual life. The existence of the soul cannot be proved scientifically in either the born or the unborn. The issue is whether the human fetus is a human being. Alive, growing, and with human attributes, the fetus carried by a human mother is surely, beyond a reasonable doubt, a human being. If abortionists wish to apply full growth and development as criteria for being human, then not even a six-year-old child would qualify! ,, It is interesting to note that when Dr. Krebser states that “...the sex of the child is not predicted by the heart beat...”, he appears to reveal his own deep feelings about the humanity of the unborn. I he human tetus is obviously, even to Dr. Krebser, an unborn child! Furthermore, Dr. Krebser states that "...there is no evidence that the Right-toLife people are making any real effort to save the children (dying of malnutrition in overpopulated countries)..” 1 remind him of Mother Teresa. When receiving the Nobel Prize for her amazing work in the slums of India, Mother Teresa called abortion the worst crime of our crime-ridden century. A lifetime spent among the most dejected of humanity has not convinced her that the lives of the unborn of late 50’s, there have been at least 13 cases of rabies in persons who received the vaccine. This included a woman in Maryland who died from rabies after being immunized in 1973. Most cases of rabies during the past two decades received no immunization,” Einarson explained. “The new vaccine', known as the human deploid cell vaccine, is known to be very effective in producing the protective effect (antibodies) against rabies. This vaccine was field tested in Iran and is now being used in the United States and Canada," the health department director noted. India are nugatory and better off snuffed out. Dr. Martin’s arguments that we cannot legislate morality are, indeed, curious. It is true that the Law alone cannot make us moral, but the Law must reflect the deep moral convictions and principles of society. In fact, practically our entire legal code is derived from the moral references of our Judeo-Christian religious tradition. A Law professor at Harvard once told me that all of our law rests ultimately on the Ten Commandments. The sanctity of human life stands at the very center of our moral and ethical tradition. Consequently, when those of us who are opposed to legalized abortion are accused of trying to impose our own (supposedly alien) brand of morality on others, we must reply that we are attempting to re-assert nothing less than the age-old moral imperative of Western Civilization. The disrespect for human life implicit in abortion poses a ' very serious, long-range threat to civilized society. Today the lives of the innocent unborn are expendable. Who will it be A Reply i o tne editor: May I reply, at least in part, to the double barrelled pro-abortion blitz which appeared in your paper as follows: 1-All Hail professional opinions, but let us get them from professionals such as the internationally revered gynecologist Dr. Bernard Natheson. Dr. Natheson was a pioneer in the abortion movement, aiding in writing the slogans and planning the strategies. He presided over some 60,000 abortions in his New York Clinic before revolting from the bloody business and writing his book, “Aborting America” in which he exposes the whole affair. Get a copy if you want a first hand account of how it operates. And PLEASE note that he is an atheist and do not attribute his devastating denunciations to religious beliefs, but take them as coming from hard-nosed experiences. 2- It is not clear just what the writer means by Spiritual Life and no scientific evidence therefor. However IF he means to accuse all who accept life at conception (and there are many eminent life scientists who so accept, along with those who recently testified in support of such life) as acting and testifying on religious beliefs rather than from scientific data and observations: I reject such an accusation as totally unjustified. 3- Furthermore 1 decry dragging in religion in an attempt to discredit those fellow professionals with whom you disagree. 4- Objecting to mentioning the heartbeat of the fetus (among all of the other human characertistics listed) to predict sex, merely admits the existence of a new heartbeat, and I insist that its presence is potent evidence of a new life whether or not it is used to predict sex. I do well recall one eminent New York gynecologist thus using it. 5- As for AMA: just judge it on its record with regard to politics and profits. 6- Since the wordy wandering, with scary predictions, into the fields of law, economics, sociology (it must be great to be professional in all areas) do not relate directly to the humanity of the fetus I shall delay comment with these exceptions: A-the mention of the disease control center reminds me of a news report which accused one of the bureaucrats there of defining an unwanted pregnacy as a venereal disease. B-do not ALL laws involve impositions of concepts, and restrict freedoms? However, without laws what would we have? My plea is that the helpless unborn child is due legal protection along with other humans. A. WILLIS DEARING Huntly tomorrow? Will it be the aged, the infirm, racial minorities, or anyone else who is a burden or an inconvenience? We all know that some of the worst crimes in history have been committed by people who treat other people as objects not fully human. Ask the Jews and the Slacks. Ask women. Let us put aside the specious argument that abortions must be legalized because some women would have them, anyway in back alleys. (Should theft be legalized just because some people steal?) Let us reject the absurdity that freedom of choice can extend to the destruction of innocent human life. (Does a woman not have ordinarily the freedom to choose whether or not to become pregnant in the first place?) Let us again place moral principle above expediency and convenience. Let us end this holocaust against our human offspring! WILLIAM E. LYNN JR., PhD. Washington, Va. Appreciation To the editor: Through Mrs. Alice R.

Durrette will be in town on Thursday, July 23, to talk ; with county officials and employees and any interested citizens. Baliles will be at the court house on Wednesday, July , 29, at 2 p.m. to answer questions and discuss this year’s race for attorney general. Stokes Is New Chairman At an unevetful planning commission meeting last Wednesday, Allen Stokes was unanimously elected chairman of the advisory body. Stokes is the commission’s representative from Piedmont District. In other action, the commission set Wednesday, August 19, for a public hearing on J. J. Dwyer’s application for an agricultural and forestal district. Since the original filing, Phil Irwin and Linda Dietel have joined their property in the application, bringing the total number of acres involved to 1,285. Werner Krebser agreed to investigate how tag-on applications fit into the time frame of a request for an agricultural district and report back to the commission. A public hearing on the town of Washington’s new subdivision ordinance will also be held August 19. Since the town does not have its own planning commission, the county’s commission is holding the required hearings and making recommendation on the proposed ordinance to Washington’s council. ++++ GREAT opportunities come to all, but many do not know they have met them.

Stunted plants that are pale or yellowish may lack fertilizer and two or three pounds per 100 square feet should be added. For poor soil drainage, add organic matter next fall before plowing. If the soil is shallow or compacted, plow deeper and add organic matter. Low temperatures may cause plants to take on a purplish cast, so do not set plants out too early in the spring. If there has been no weather problem, a purple cast could be caused by too little phosphorus in the soil and so should be added. Wilted plants may be too dry or too wet; if too dry, water them; if too wet dig drainage ditches away from the plants. Fungus or disease may cause wilting, and must be diagnosed and treated. Arlene and Acey Frye: Gardening For As Long As They Can Remember By THERESA REYNOLDS Ri^MlMaBock NnmSliff friiit For 17 years Arlene and Acey Frye have been gardening at their home in the F. T. Valley. But for years before that, ever since either of them can remember, both of them have been gardening and putting up food every summer. For the Fryes, gardening is a joint project. Acey keeps the large gardens clean and well-tended with a tiller and a hoe, and Arlene pickles, cans and freezes. When I visited her last week she had just put up 38 quarts of beans, 4 pints of squash pickle, 3 quarts of sauerkraut and 1V4 quarts of beet pickle. And that’s barely a beginning. There were literally hundreds of cucumbers waiting to be picked. Fat snap beans hung from rows of plants and butter beans were beginning to fill out in their pods. To cope with the overabundance of squash beginning to come in, Arlene had made use of a friend’s recipe for a squash casserole that requires only baking: Tana's Squash Dice yellow squash and onions enough to feed family. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in one stick of margarine and cook at 350 degrees until done. The Fryes had one of the best-kept gardens we visited and also one of the most productive. Arlene had been catting cabbage here and there for slaw, but she planned to make more sauerkraut MWe don’t eat much sauerkraut in the summer," Arlene said. “But we sure like to have it when we butcher hogs in the winter.” Arlene makes sauerkraut the easy way, in a jar. She layers chopped cabbage with salt—about S layers in a jar—fills the jar with hot water and caps it. By BIRGITT THORNHILL Kxlnwimi Afnl July is when we really start into the canning season. More people try home canning each year. There are two methods of canning foods: the boiling water bath method and the pressure canner method. With the water bath method, jars of food are immersed in boiling water and heat from the water is transferred to the food. Food in the jars never gets hotter than 212 degrees F (boiling point), even when processed for a long time. Molds, yeasts, enzymes and some bacteria are killed by this process. Acid foods, which include the following, may be safely processed with this method: apples, apricots, pickled beets, berries, cherries, cucumber pickles, fruit juices, peaches, pears, plums, rhubarb, tomatoes, tomato juice and applesauce. The pressure canner method is the only safe way to can foods low in acid, such as asparagus, shelled beans, snap beans, beets, carrots, corn, hominy, mushrooms, okra, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, spinach and other greens, squash and sweet potatoes. Only in a pressure canner can the high temperatures be achieved that will destroy the spores of Clostridium botulium. Ten pounds of pressure is equal to 240 degrees F. It is important that all food in each jar reach the desired temperature. This may not happen if the processing time is cut short or if the food is processed at 9 pounds of pressure rather than 10. Pressure canners are designed to trap steam enabling one to get the temperature above 212 degrees F. A gauge is essential to indicate pressure inside the canner. Two types are commonly used. A dial gauge gives a visual picture of the temperature and a weighted gauge gives an audio signal. The user must watch the dial gauge and make necessary adjustments in heat to keep the reading constant. The weighted gauge allows excess steam to escape with a resulting jiggling of the weight. The noise is an indication of the temperature. If the noise is very insistent, then the pressure is above the desired level. If the jiggle is ' infrequent (less than 4 times a minute), then the canner is not hot enough. Most canners have a gasket of rubber or a rubberlike material that prevents steam from leaking out around the cover. Older canners which close with lugs do not have a gasket. The gasket deteriorates with use and age and is the part which needs to be replaced most often. Vents allow air to be exhausted from the canner and to permit the release of steam as needed. A petcock or weight is used to control the escape of air or steam. In addition, all pressure utensils have a safety plug of some type which goes into action when the pressure inside the canner gets too high. A metal alloy safety plug will melt, allowing excess steam to escape or a composition type plug will be blown out. The usual reason for this is a drv canner.

Another specialty of Arlene’s is her salad pickle, which combines cucumbers and green tomatoes: Arlene’s Salad Pickle 6 cups small cucumbers sliced thin 3 cups small green tomatoes sliced thin 2 cups onions sliced thin 3 tbsps. salt ice cubes Combine and let stand for one hour. Syrup 4 cups cider vinegar 1 cup water S cups sugar 2 tblspoons pickle seasoning Bring ingredients to a boil, drain, add to syrup. Return to boil. Pack in hot, sterile jars. The Fryes keep five milk cows as well as the six hogs they raise for meat. Arlene attributes the fertility of her garden in part to the cows’ contributions each year which she and Acey collect and spread on the garden plot. In addition, they use a com mere ’1 fertilizer. From the spring garden, they have harvested 14 pints of peas and three or four bushels of onions. The Fryes enjoy being able to raise most of their own food on their property not far from Slate Mills. V Besides doing all thiS^ gardening and canning; milking the cows and raising six children, Arlene works full time at Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center where she supervises theinfant and toddler room. Cows, hogs, babies; cucumbers—all living things seem to respond and grow under Arlene’s careful at*' tention. t Weeds Are Robbers Weeds are tough...tougher than most vegetables, or flowers. These ever-present pests rob vegetables, flowers and landscape plants of valuable water, food, sunlight and space. But with proper planning and persistence, weeds can be easily controlled. If the garden is not mulched, cultivation is the easiest way to get rid of weeds and the hoe is the best equipment for their control. Begin cultivation as soon as the weeds appear and cultivate whenever necessary thereafter. The best time to cultivate is a day or two after a rainstorm or after irrigating—after the plants have dried off thoroughly. At this time the soil is moist and loose and easily worked. Shallow cultivation near the surface is very important. Do not cultivate more than one inch deep or the roots of the crops may be damaged. Use shallow, scraping motions with the hoe rather than deep, chopping cuts into the soil. Hand pull all weeds that are close to the plants and be sure to get the weed roots without disturbing crop roots. Remove any weeds surrounding the garden that are close to flowering or going to seed. These seeds will probably be carried into the garden area and will germinate. Be sure to pull up the entire root system of weeds such as purslane, Bermuda grass, Johnsongrass and crabgrass. If any roots are left, they will send up new shoots and spread rapidly again through the garden. Working or cultivating soil brings weed seeds to the surface and creates optimum growing conditions, so the garden will never be completely free of weeds, but with constant checking and work, the garden can be relatively weed-free giving the vegetables and flowers the best opportunity to grow.

BARBARA JOLLY picks flowers from her town garden which produces flowers and herbs as well as many varieties of vegetables. Flowers Add Profit To Pretty Town Garden By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock INrwa Staff Writer Among the thriving vegetables in Barbara Jolly’s Washington garden are rows and rows of colorful flowers. Barbara grows them because she likes them, but she’s also found that there is a booming market for fresh flowers. Each week she cuts armloads of bachelor’s buttons, cosmos, zinnias, marigolds and nasturtiums and sells them to local restaurants like The Inn and Nature’s Foods in Washington. She also sells basil as well as growing quantities for her own use. She has been growing and selling flowers for two years, but she’s had a garden almost all of her adult life. The experience she has picked up over nine seasons of gardening shows in the health of her vegetables, flowers and herbs. Barbara is an organic gardener, which means that she doesn’t use commercial herbicides, pesticides or fertilizer. She controls weeds by mulching around her plants and in the rows, and she’s found that the mulch cover also helps conserve moisture when the weather is dry. “Mulching is really the only way to control weeds if you’re not going to cultivate constantly,” Barbara said. “I’ve found that if the roots of cool-weather plants are kept cool, then the heat does not bother them so much and they hold longer without bolting or wilting.” Barbara’s success with annuals has encouraged her to start growing perennials. “I plan to buy one package of seed each year,” she told us. Right now, she has a long row of Rose Mallow, an oldfashioned perennial that adds to the charm of her pretty, well-kept garden. Barbara is also known locally as a good cook and has spent some time experimenting with recipes that omit sugar. One of these is her Peach Batter which she cans in quantity every year. “1 process all my jams and jellies for a few minutes,” she said. “I’m just one of those people that doesn’t like to take a chance on spoilage or bad seals.” Peach Batter Use fully ripe peaches, cutup. Cook with a little water until they are soft enough to put through a strainer. Cook, stirring constantly, until they reach the proper thickness. Fill sterilized jars and process in boiling water bath for ten minutes. Sometimes Barbara adds a few gratings of nutmeg for flavor before canning. With the many herbs she grows, Barbara makes Herb Vinegar by steeping two parts herbs in one part vinegar. She lets the mixture stand a few weeks then caps tightly for storage. She uses her vinegar in the following recipe which calls for more tresh herbs from her garden: Green Mayonnaise 1 egg Vi tsp. salt '/j tsp. dry mustard or 2 tbs. Dijon-style mustard 2 tblsps. and 1 tsp. herb vinegar dash cayenne Vi cup olive oil Vi cup vegetable oil 2 tblsps. each parsley, chives and dill Put everything but oils in the blender and process with herbs. Drip in the oil very slowly until desired consistency is reached for mayonnaise. Roland Fontaine Grows His Green Thumb Early Make Cut Flowers Last Cut Flowers. . . bring the beauty of the outdoors indoors with arrangements from the flower garden. Here are some suggestions for attractive arrangements: For longer lasting blossoms, the flowers should be gathered early in the morning when they are at their peak of moisture content. The cut stems should be placed immediately in warm water and kept in a cool, shady location for six to eight hours before being used in arrangements. Most flowers should be cut when they are in one-half to three-quarters bloom. Marigolds, zinnias and dahlias should be cut at full bloom. —nippmwni ■ nrwi rnran/ mpnnr mncnrann ROLAND FONTAINE, one of the county’s youngest gardeners, does all the planting, weeding and harvesting on his backyard plot, much to the delight of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.E.

Sales • Parts • Service Rt. 29 North, across from Culpeper Drive-In Theatre Culptxr, V»._ 825-9520 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff Writer A young man from Amissville has added a new twist to an old nursery rhyme. He’s changed the lines about Mary, Mary and her rows of cockleshells to “Roland, Roland, very busy, how does your garden grow?” “Bountifully, practically weedfree and a tribute to youthful energy” would be a good reply. Roland Fontaine is not one of those youngsters who make up a minority of the teenage population but grab a majority of the attention and publicity through delinquency and misdeeds. Ten Pounds Still Advised The U.S. Department of Agriculture still is recommending that home food preservers process their canned food at 10 pounds of pressure—240 degrees Fahrenheit—for the time recommended for each SDecific food. There is interest in processing at 15 pounds, and in fact, one commercial company has come out with timetables for processing at 15 pounds pressure. The interest is based on a conern for energy conservation. The temperature at 15 pounds pressure is higher than at 10 pounds, so the assumption is that the processing time can be shortened, with a resulting saving of energy. Research to date has not shown this to be the case. More time is required to get the canner to 15 pounds • pressure which offsets the saving of energy by the shorter processing time. Canning Combinations If two or more foods are combined and canned, then the mixture must be processed according to the directions for the most difficult food in the mixture. Tomatoes combined with okra or corn would have to be processed under pressure for the time recommended for okra or for corn. Fat meat used to season beans would mean that the mixture would have to be processed as meat. For the past year, Roland has pedaled his bike from the family's home near Amissville to Lucky D Saddlery and Ye Olde General Store where he works as a combination stockboy and gardener three or four days a week. This summer, instead of hanging around in front of the television or at the pool in his spare time, he can be found sweating in his vegetable garden. Roland is one of the county’s youngest truck farmers and plans to market what won’t fit in the freezer at a roadside stand at Clevenger’s corner later this* month. “I like to watch things grow,” said the freckled 14year-old, his face dominated by its characteristic grin. He started with a Scout project. worked up to a late vegetable garden last summer and this year, decided to go all out. With his own money that he earned at the saddlery, he paid a local farmer $15 to plow a plot in the Fontaines’ back yard. He grew about 75 percent of his plants from seed with his mom contributing a few tomatoes, cabbages and peppers. Her donation was the only outside help Roland got in his venture. He’s supplied all of the labor. "When it’s not hot outside, I usually work about two hours after I get home,” he reported. In addition to the tomatoes, cabbapes and peppers, Roland’s garden produces four kinds of squash, limas. green beans, lettuce, onions, corn, potatoes, peas, beets and turnips. The harvest keeps Organic Pest Control Many organic gardeners are able to enrich their soil and helps its condition by using natural fertilizers such as manure, sawdust, compost and bloodmea). The question of how to combat insect pests in the garden is more difficult, but there are iome weapons available to the organic gardener. Many of these are tried-and-true old-time methods, and some are the result of recent scientific research: Aphids—Swab leaves with corn or other vegetable oil. Dust leaves with flour or cornstarch. Introduce ladybugs into your garden. Plants nasturtiums in the rows. Spray with solution of rhubarb leaves and soap.

After the vegetable or fruit is washed and drained, and cut into lengths if necessary, it is prepared either by raw pack or hot pack. To raw pack, pack raw vegetable or fruit tightly into the jar and cover with boiling water, leaving headspace. Remove air bubbles by running a spatula or knife between the food and jar. To hot pack, put the vegetable or fruit into a saucepan and cover with boiling water or syrup, and cook for the amount of time recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Then place the hot vegetable or fruit into a jar, leaving headspace, and cover with hot boiling liquid. Then process as directed. H&J Groceries See us for all your canning needs.

Roland doesn’t have a favorite gardening book that he goes to for advice. “Mrs. Swain, the lady across the street, has been a farmer all her life. She tells me a lot,” he said. Roland will keep both his garden and his job at Lucky D’s after he begins ninth grade at Rappahannock County High School in late August. Weeding and picking chores will have to take second priority to homework which he attacks as soon as he gets home from his afterschool job. He’s not worried about the warning "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” “I like working. I can’t just sit around and do nothing,” Roland concluded. PICK YOUR OWN .
