Rappahannock News, August 5, 1982

33rd YEAR, NO. 30 USPS45558C lZPages Thursday. August 5. 1982 WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA Phone 67.V3349 25c ----i Land Use In Jeopardy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Stnff filer Rappahannock landowners may have to bear the full brunt of fair market value assessments next ywr without the benefit of countywide use value taxation, according to commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. In a written opinion presented to the county supervisors at Monday's board meeting. Baumgardner noted that there exists “a substantial question as to whether land use taxation can remain in effect during the tax year commencing January 1, 1983." Rappahannock's use value taxation ordinance enacted during calendar year 1981 and prior to June 30 of that year reads "This ordinance shall be effective for all tax years beginning on and after January I. 1982. for a period of one year with subsequent study and review." The language “...for a period of one year with subsequent , study and review ..." was penned in by a member of the board of supervisors and was not part of the text of the original ordinance as it was advertised in the Rappahannock News, Baumgardner wrote in his July 30 letter to the board. He maintained, however, that the amendment did not change the character of the ordinance to the extent that a republication of the notice was required. The question as to whether land use “shall not be aptinue in 1983 arises from a provision in the Virginia Code which stipulates that land use "shall not b eapplicable in any county...for any year unless such an ordinance is adopted by the governing body thereof not later than June 30 of the year previous to the year when such taxes are first assessed and levied under this article...” the commonwealth’s attorney noted. Too Late? Baumgardner emphasized in his letter that he has not had sufficient time to adequately research the impact of the state enabling legislation provision on Rappahannock’s land use ordinance. But at the same time, he concluded that “at the very least, the Board of Supervisors, if it elects to continue land use taxation after a study and review of the matter, will have to pass an ordinance prior to January 1, 1983, extending land use taxation into the future....However, it may be that, since June 30, 1982, has now come and gone, this cannot be done at this time and the county will have no alternative other than to discontinue its land use program effective January 1, 1983.” In an interview Tuesday, Baumgardner acknowledged that the question raised over the continuance of use value taxation will have no effect on preferential tax treatmenat afforded qualifying properties in Agriculture and Forestral Districts. Even if county-wide use value taxation is discontinued, "I don't believe it would affect ag districts," he said. Land in ag districts which meets the same criteria set by the General Assembly in enabling legislation for use value taxation is eligible for the same preferential tax treatment under which property is taxed on the basis of its productive value for farming and forestry rather than its fair market value for development. But an ag district must be a minimum of 500 contiguous acres, a requirement that prompted the Rappahannock supervisors to adopt countywide land use. “If just four or five farmers are denied relief because they couldn’t get in an ag district, it would be a dirty thing,” maintained local farmer B. Settle at the public hearing held in June,,. 1980, on a county-wide use' value ordinance. Voicing concern for the small farmers who can’t combine their holdings to reach the minimum of 500 contiguous acres, a majority of the supervisors — H. B. Wood, Dick Latham and Clarence Baldwin — voted in favor of county-wide use value legislation. Unaware Of Wording On Tuesday. Baumgardner acknowledged that he hadn't realized the ordinance adopted in 1980 was worded so as to possibly require readoption. “My impression was that use value taxation would continue unless the supervisors took action to rescind it," he said. The question on wording of the ordinance was posed by clerk Diane Bruce, he added, noting that he'd immediately looked into the issue and alerted the supervisors. At the June I, 1980, public hearing. H. B. Wood introduced the motion to adopt county:wide use value taxation. A poll of the members found the board (Continued on Page 2) WtX'CTW.. ■■. -V*3V • - >■> , 'v-asaM»u»» — — Rappahannock Nnn Ph<i«ft/T.

Students Performing At Ability Level By THKRKSA RF.'* NOLDS Rappahannock Nck- Stuff ^ ritcr In the new standardized aptitude and achievement test results just released, Rappahannock students recorded scores lower than students statewide in the fourth grade; lower than students statewide in the eighth grade, except in social studies; and either higher or nearly as high as students statewide in the eleventh grade. The commentary released by the State Department of Education along with the county-by-county test scores said that the results are not directly comparable to results of earlier tests, including last year’s, since last spring was the first time for these new tests. It is possible, however, to compare Virginia's performance on the tests with that nation-wide, and Rappahannock's performance both with the state and with neighboring counties. The new tests, which cover the same subjects as earlier ones, but differ in exact content, showed Virginia’s students scoring at or above the national averages. Fourth grade reading was the one subject below the mean statewide, dipping to the 49th percentile. In order to understand the implications of the test for measuring the quality of local education, it is important to understand that the test scores refer to the percentile ranking Percentile rankings show the relationship of the Youth Group Takes Christianity On The Road By HOU ARD HOIXHIH Ra|i|MhaniHirk S|H*rial % rilrr Twelve members of the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church youth group put their (Christianity to work last month by travelling all the way to Maine to conduct Backyard Bible Clubs in the state capital of Augusta. The young people were accompanied on the trip by their pastor, Rev. William Lancaster, youth advisor Howard Holschuh, Lloyd and Betty Sims, and Bob ana Diane HefTern. Planning for the trip began more than a year ago when the Church applied to the Southern Baptist Convention's Home Mission Board for just such a volunteer assignment. Slowly, but surely, the project took shape and final arrangements were worked out by the Maine mission director, Mrs. Dolores Thomas, of the Thomas Memorial Baptist Church in Lewiston, Maine. Since the*-e is no Southern Baptist Church in Augusta, the Backyard Bible Clubs were conducted in two locations: one at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Sweet where a group of Baptists meet for Bible study once a week; and the other in an open field adjacent to a new apartment complex about two miles away. The Mt. Lebanon youth organized themselves into two teams: the first, headed by Carolyn Butler, included Tammy Butler, Timmy Caliandro, Betsy Jewell, Cheryll Lancaster, and Dawn Watson; the other, directed by Gary Leake, included Natalie and Angie Butler. Tommy Heffern, Kristi Pendleton, and Peggy Stephenson. The young people ranged in age from 13 to 20. The Backyard Bible Cubs, open to children in grades one through six, featured Bible stories, crafts, music, games and refreshments for an hour and a half every morning, Monday through Friday. A total of 55 youngsters were enrolled in the two locations. Pastor Lancaster praised the Mt. Lebanon youth for the mature way they planned and conducted the daily sessions. “They even handled the campground chores," he said. “We adults just sat back in the corner in case we were needed. They put their faith into action and set a good example for us adults to follow. "The idea of conducting Backyard Bible Clubs isn't new,” said the pastor. “They have been a great way to reach out to young people with the Gospel for a long time. They are a lot like the vacation Bible schools which many churches offer here at home, but the setting is more informal, more relaxed.” Each of the Mt. Lebanon youth had prepared for the trip by taking part in the vacation Bible school program conducted in their church the month before. The older ones taught classes themselves while the younger ones assisted adults in other classes, noted Betty Sims, VBS director. The group travelled to Maine in two vans and a sedan, stopping off on the way north to spend the night in the home church of Captain Holschuh in New Hampton, N.Y., where they enjoyed a cookout and evening of fellowship with the young group there. On the way back, they overnighted in the former church of Mr. and Mrs. Heffern in Long Branch, N.J.. enjoying an afternoon of playing in the surf on the New Jersey shore. They also took time out tor sightseeing in Maine, touring the state capitol building and state museum in Augusta one afternoon and visiting Bailey’s Island for an afternoon of shell collecting and picture taking on the “rock bound coast'' of Maine. “This is the first time any of the churches in our Shiloh Association has gone on such a volunteer mission assignment,” noted pastor Lancaster. Will the group try such a project again? Judging by the resounding "YES", we thinfc they will start planning for next year’s trip in the very near ftiture. average scores of Rappahannock students to those of a large national sample of students at the same grade levels. The 50th percentile is that point above which half of the students in the national group scored and below which the other half scores. Since the sampling of children statewide scored at or above the rank reached by half the children nationwide, local scores below the 50th percentile show an unfavorable comparison with students statewide as well as nationw ide. The Rappahannock age group containing the lowest percentile ranking was the ten-vear-old. or fourth-grade group. In this group, those tested fell behind the state in each of the six subjects tested: reading, mathematics, language arts, social studies, science and educational ability (see chart 1). In reading. Rappahannock fourth-graders were very close to the state level, differing by only one point. State fourth-graders as a whole exceeded national levels. Eighth-graders tested in Rappahannock were consistently lower than the statewide sample, but higher than the national average in mathematics and social studies (see chart 4), Rappahannock eleventhgraders scored consistently above half of those tested nationwide, and above their statewide counterparts in reading, social studies and science. In a telephone interview. Dr. Richard Boyer of the State Department of Education said that there were “no surprises" in the results of statewide testing. He suggested comparing county scores with counties similar in geography, population and economic make-up to Rappahannock in order to get a clearer picture of what the test results mean. Chart 2 compares Rappahannock County fourthgrade scores with Warren. Fauquier,. Culpeper, Page and Madison Counties. As might be expected, scores are closest to those contiguous counties which most closely parallel Rappahannock and usually - but not always - lower than scores recorded in Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Rappahannock fourteenyear-olds led every contiguous county in Social Studies with a score of 58 and recorded the lowest score in all six counties in Educational Ability - (40). In Reading. Language Arts, Social Studies and Science - four of the six categories tested - Rappahannock seventeen yearolds led seventeen-year-olds in each adjoining county. Charts in each age category are compared with a consistently high-ranking and low-ranking county to give readers some idea of the range of the percentile scores. Robert Estabrook, Rappahannock School Superintendent, said that he was "pleased, on the whole," with the Rappahannock test results. He noted that, in each age group tested, Rappahannock students scored at or above the educational ability scores measured by the test. The educational ability portion of the test measures the overall ability of students in (Continued on Page 4) Guest To Run Raymond R. "Andy” Guest announced this week that he will seek reelection to the Virginia House of Delegates in November. The Front Royal farmer and businessman, who has served in the the General Assembly for 11 years, will seek to retain his seat as the representative from the newly created 31st legislative district comprised of Clarke, Warren and Rappahannock Counties; the Leeds, Marshall. Waterloo and Remington precincts of Fauquier County and the Rixeyville. Eldorado and Jefferson precincts of Culpeper County. In his statement announcing his intention to run in November, Guest noted that during his 11 years in the General Assembly, he has built up seniority and influence and has earned the trust of his fellow legislators. “In addition to my legislative duties, I have been able to provide constituent service to literally hundreds of people whom I have had the honor to represent," the delegate said. Currently, Guest serves on the Committees on Agricluture. Finance, Conservation and Natural Resources and Roads and Internal Navigation as well as on the Virginia State Crime Commission. “I look forward to continuing service to those in my former district and am most eager to build a fine working relationship with those newly redistricted into the district I represent," said the Republican incumbent. "I am very proud of the support given to me by the citizens I represent; not only on Election Day but throughout the year as they give me their advice and opinions," he concluded. Supervisors Table Gun Proposal By THKRKSA KK> MH.DS Ka|>|>nhaniii»rk Staff VI rit»-r At their August meeting Monday, the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors agreed to support part of the changes in state law requested by the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors but voted to table the encased gun statute recommended by the Culpeper Board. In a legal opinion requested by the Rappahannock Board at its last meeting. Commonwealth Attorney Doug Baumgardner outlined the proposed changes, and said that they would provide that the violation of the following provisions would result in the loss of hunting licenses and a maximum fine of $250.00: 1) Trespass upon licensed shooting preserves. 2) Trespass by hunters and fishers. 3) Refusal of a person on the land of another to identify himself. 4) Trespass on posted property 5) Destruction of posted signs and posting the land of another. 6) Hunting with firearms while under the influence of an intoxicant or narcotic drug. The S250.00 maximum fine represents an increase over the present maximum of $100.00. Although the “supervisors were in unanimous agreement on these changes, they could not reach a consensus on the cased gun statute that would require that all guns in a vehicle on any public road be encased. Culpeper County has requested Delegate George Beard to introduce cased gun legislation at the next session of Virginia's General Assent blv. H. B. Wood of StonewallHawthorne Distriet spoke in favor of the amendment. “1 am very much against any limit of our individual freedom." he said. “But this is what we must have to stop the hoodlums who are shooting up our county." "Many people don't want this." countered Hampton Distriet supervisor Clarence Baldwin. "Many people in mv district have come to see me anil spoken against this." "Most good hunters do this anywav." Wood responded. "I always case firearms not in use." "But what about those who don't?" asked Baldwin. “Then they should." answered Wood. "What about those who don't own a ease?" persisted Baldwin. "Folks are afraid of this line of thought ... it's a dangerous area ... They're afraid we might ask them to case their hunting shoes next." "Do we agree on the first six points, though7" asked Board Chairman Dick Latham. Latham pointed out that, since all that was asked of the Supervisors was support for the Culpeperproposed amendments, no public hearing was required for the expression of support. At his request, the Supervisors voted to endorse the first six points and table the cased gun amendment until their next meeting. Welfare Request Present at the meeting was Sylvia Kreitler, Rappahannock Welfare Superintendent, to request that the Supervisors sign a statement reassuring the state that Rappahannock County will pay for welfare services already budgeted. This the supervisors did with (Continued on Page 2) Fraud Suspect Caught In Flint Hill Clarence Anthony Stewart. 35. of no fixed address, was arrested at gunpoint last Thursday utter attempting to cash a check at the Flint Hill Storehouse using the identification of Brian Patterson, a teacher at Rappahannock County High School.

Wittl said that, upon arrest. Stewart refused to identify himselt. A fingerprint check with the FBI identified Stewart as the same man wanted on w arra nts in San Diego. California, and Omaha. Nebraska. The check also revealed a list of aliases that Stewart has used. Wittl said (hat it is believed that Stewart obtained the credit card, along with the checkbook and other identification in a break-in at Patterson's home at Blackwater Creek. Stewart is being held without bond and is presently incarcerated in the Rappahannock County jail. RAYMOND R. “ANDY” GUEST

Sanford Rollins Crossed The Mountain For Work I will return to my story. Nothing of interest occurred from 1841 to 1843. In September. 1843. I was taken with the fever; I have no recollection of my suffering; it all seemed like a dream to me. I was unconscious for two weeks. With the kind attention of Dr. Ashby of Culpeper. I was soon able to walk about, and get to business. On Christmas of 1843, my landlord said he wanted the house we lived in. We owed him six dollars of the rent which he readily agreed to give us. I then had no time to lose as L had to look for a house for the coming year. I soon found one for rent, owned by Mr. Weaver, which I could rent for $25 a year by giving bond and good security. It was the first time I ever was required to give bond and security for the rent of a house, and did not know' to whom I should apply; however. I found in Mr. Madison Duncan a kind friend who was willing to go my security. Nothing occurred from that time to interrupt me until the summer of 1846. The Fifth Trouble During that summer, brother William received a letter from the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute at Staunton. Va., to come, and he was anxious to go. Here commenced my fifth trouble. I thought it would kill me to part with him. In vain did I plead with him night and day not to go but it did no good. As the time drew near for him to leave, it troubled me so, 1 could not work, although I was hired by the year. Mother seemed to be willing for William to go. I really was fretted with her. I thought if she had persuaded him as I did, he certainly would have given it up. The morning soon arrived for him to leave. Mr. John Burke, with whom I was living, went with him. I was very much troubled after they left, and could do no work. 1 went to work the next day with a broken heart; I longed for the time to come when Mr. Burke was to return home for 1 thought I would hear something of the place. When he came he gave a grand description of the place and people, and said he left William in high spirits; this relieved me a great deal. I received a letter within four weeks; he said heart could not wish to be in a better place than he was. and he would be perfectly happy if he knew that I had gotten reconciled. We again had to move before the year was out.

We moved about three miles from where I was at work which prevented me mv going home even night. I had to hire someone to stay with mother. After Christmas, I hired bv the month but still had to leave my mother alone until aftpr ; harvest. < Walk To Staunton j I got my cousin to come j and stay with her, 1 then left J home for Staunton to see my - brother William. I walked from Boston in two days and a half. I found William doing very well, and stayed with him three days, and left for I home. I then went to work in I better spirits than 1 had for 1 two years, having seen my brother and found him doing well, and had gotten someone to stay with mother. At the end of that year, I rented a place from Col. Popham near Slate Mills. I hired myself to him for the coming year, and 1 soon found that I had a splendid home: I lived in pleasure that year. I paid William a visit in July, and found him well. Col. Popham dying during the fall threw me out of a home for the coming year. During that winter mother got so she could not walk a step, and at one time was so low I did not think she could live a week. I wrote to William if he wanted to be with her alive to come home at once. When he got the letter, he resolved to try, and next morning took the stage, and that night got to New Market. Next morning he hired a conveyance and came to Lurav. there he met with two oi my nearest neighbors, and came home across the mountain with them without anymore expense. He found o'clock in the afternoon, and found the stage would not be there until nine o'clock at night. I rejoiced when the stage arrived, bringing William. We left the next morning.

I cut 60 cords of wood that year, at two shillings per cord. Christmas I had to move five miles off. I hired in March for the balance of that year, but was not satisfied. I felt that my mother was not treated as she ought to be; time passed tediously with me. I longed for June to come, but on the 13th day of May 1 got a letter from William, requesting me to meet him at New Market. On the following Tuesday. I got to New Market about four BEVERLY COOKE.

Lebanon Baptist Church took their faith on the road as they traveled to Maine to conduct Backyard Bible Clubs. and came to Luray that night and reached home on the follow ing evening. My mother rejoiced when we got home to think William had come to stay at Christmas. Mother’s Death We moved into a house with a family in the neighborhood, we had to pay no rent, and mother was treated kindly by the family, and lived with them until her death, which occurred on the 17th of October, 1853. She passed peacefully and calmly across the dark river of death, her trust being in the Saviour. Her funeral sermon was preached the next evening to a large congregation, by the Rev. B. Grimsley. She was buried that evening on the place now owned by Mr. John M. Priest. Here my sixth great trouble began. 1 felt that 1 had lost my best friend. 1 now owed $65 in money, and could see no w ay how it was to be paid. At William’s advice 1 quit working about and went with him to making mattresses. The first job we got was at Col. Chas. Green's, from there we went to Mr. Walker Campbell’s, from there to Mr. Robert Bywaters, and so on. We got all the work we could do at Woodville; we worked for Messrs. Yates & Brown, and made but little i while working for them, but . during the summer we paid ; the entire debt 1 owed, and had something left. In 1855 we left home for Page County, we knocked about Luray and did not get the first job. The next morning we started for home and came four miles and stopped at Mr. Inads. He gave us a job of five or six mattresses to make. After that we got all the work we could do for five or six weeks. Snowed In About that time there fell a snow about three feet deep so we concluded to get home as soon as possible but had to wait about three days before the road could be opened so the stage could pass. We then took the stage and started for this side; it cost us five dollars from Luray to Mt. Lebanon; we waded through the snow three miles; we had $30 left after paying all our Supervisors Table (Continued from Page 1 no discussion. Kreitler’s second request was that the Board agree to pledge an additional $957.00 which would bring the Welfare Department over $3,000.00 in state funds for companion services. These services. Kreitler explained, were for providing some daily care to elderly and disabled people who would otherwise have to seek nursing home care. "I am sure that this is money well spent.” said Piedmont District Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes. “But where will it come from? We don't have it. Can you find it in your budget?" “Our budget is cut close to the bone, just as yours is,” responded Kreitler. Latham suggested that Kreitler appear before the Board again after January I. when the Supervisors would have a better idea what funds were available. She agreed to do this after checking to see if the state’s offer would stand until then. In other business, the Board voted to: —Approve alterations to the existing jail to conform with state guidelines. This approval was necessary in order for Delegate Andy Guest to apply for reimbursement of funds from the General Assembly. —Schedule a public hearing on Tom Massie's request to the Highway Department to abandon a section of Old 211. —Approve the DAR's request to plant a cherry tree in front of the Treasurer’s office. —Allow the placement of a plaque by friends of Ned Jones in his memory on a county building yet to be agreed upon. —Schedule a public hearing for September 7 on a zoning amendment requested by the proprietors of Blue Ridge Guns to allow shooting ranges by special use permits Land Use Continuance Questioned split with Wood and Latham in favor and supervisors Hubert Gilkey and E. P. Luke opposed. At that point. Clarence Baldwin offered an amendment which stipulated that land use taxation be tried for a year and then studied “to see how many people are in it and what happens to taxes on old people and poor people." Wood accepted the amendment . to his motion and Baldwin then cast the swing vote in favor of use value adoption for a one year trial period.

We did but little more that season at mattress making. 1 worked about as usual during the summer. The next winter we didn’t get much work to do; we had supplied everybody with mattresses in this section. In May. 1857. I hired to Mrs. Boyers for 12 months. 1 worked for her for mv victuals and clothes, and William made about $30 during the year making mattresses. I hired to her again for the year 1858.

Weaver Grows Bushes Among His Bush Beans By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Mr. Stant Weaver has three large garden plots at his home in Washington, growing corn, lima beans, tomatoes, string beans and melons. It doesn't take long for a visitor to see an unusual plant tucked in among the vegetables. Mr. Weaver is also growing boxwoods, both American and Old English. He cuts sprigs from the end of the boxwood branches in the spring, sets them to root in a shady, damp place and waits several months. When the branches are weii-rooted. Weaver transplants them again, in rows in his vegetable garden, where he waters them from time to time and waits until they are of a size to put in their permanent homes. “You can add a little nitrogen if you really want to push them," Weaver said. “Some grow real fast, others never seem to do much. That’s all there is to it." Over the years Weaver has grown a lot of boxwoods. Many of them have been added to his side yard in a boxwood garden, a peaceful, shady spot where a boxwood hedge surrounds boxwood bushes arranged in graceful shapes among taller evergreen trees. Weaver believes that the best way to grow beautiful boxwoods is to leave them alone. "Water them if it gets too dry, but don’t try to prune them too much.” Weaver said that the Old English boxwood will grow naturally in a tidy, pleasing shape, and the American boxwood should not be cut back to a stiff, heavilypruned bush. "The biggest mistake folks make around here is to prune too heavily and too early," he said. "Don't prune before July." He pointed out some boxwoods around town that JU^UJUU^Ul H & J Grocery.

Weaver has found that even a very large boxwood can be moved if propter care is taken. “We moved some real large ones,” he said. “We dug them out with a large hunk of dirt on them, loaded them into a truck, moved them and planted them right away with some good rich dirt.” Boxwoods have shallow roots and need shade on the roots, so Weaver cautions not to be too thorough when cleaning out around and under the bushes. "I'll leave the old boxwood leaves under the bushes, even weeds and tree leaves that blow under there. Then in the fall, I'll clean out around them. But in the summer, they like to keep cool.” Weaver, who is in his eighties, is in remarkable shape, exercises every day, keeps house for himself and mows his yard and his fouracre field. He has some energy-saving tips for older people who want to keep a garden for themselves: —Don’t work outside in the heat of the day. Early morning is the best time. Wear a hat when working in the sun. — Leave permanent supports in place in the garden. Wire fencing stands up well to the elements. Then, each year, plant vegetables that need support next to the fence. — Pile up dead leaves, garbage, and garden trimmings in a compost pile. Weaver even makes use of his compost heap by planting a few melon plants on top, and letting the huge vines sprawl over the hill. Although Weaver laughingly refers to his methods as the “lazy man's" way. a visit with this energetic man and a look at his many projects prove that he is anvthine but lazy.

Observe Care And Safety In Canning By BIRGITT THORNHII.I. K.\t«-iisiun Home-canned foods should have a bright color, characteristic texture, pleasant flavor and contain nutrients naturally present. Proper pretreatment of the fruit or vegetable being canned is essential for top quality. This includes using only good wholesome food at peak eating quality. Any trace of moldy or otherwise spoiled food should be completely removed. All food must be washed thoroughly. and react with the starch in some foods, causine them to turn pink or blue. Headspace—Using the proper amount of headspace pays off in quality products. Adequate headspace is needed so food has enough room tor expansion during heat sterilization. Generally, more headspace is needed for foods heatsterilized in a pressure canner than those in a boiling water canner. because of increased expansion of foods at the higher temperature. Air is an enemy of lightcolored foods, and should be kept trom the peeled or cut food. This can be done with lemon juice or a simple solution of two tablespoons each of vinegar and salt per gallon of water. When enough food for a canner load is prepared, drain and rinse the food for best flavor. Foods that are heated before being put in jars have better quality than foods packed raw in jars. Heating destroys enzymes and removes much of the air from food tissues. Tomatoes and tomato juice are less likely to separate if tomatoes are cut and heated at once. Sugar, salt and vinegar play important roles in quality canned foods. Whilesugar is not needed to can fruits safely, it contirubtes to better color, flavor and texture. Likewise, vegetables may be canned safely without salt, but when salt is used, better flavor results. Canning or pickling salt should always be used with pickles. Iodized salt will inhibit proper fermentation ¥ We have canning supplies for Rappahannock Gardeners ’S KERR JARS - Country Kitchen jelly jars, regular and widemouth, pints and quarts.

Come to Southern States - Front Royal Your Canning and Freezing Headquarters With too little headspace, liquid is more likely to cook out of the jars during heat sterilization. With too much headspace, air remaining the jar can cause darkening ot the food, oxidized flavor, and lower vitamin retention. Pressure canning low-acid foods is receiving increased emphasis today, mainly based on the greater safety of this technique. The method also offers an additional advantage—improved quality and nutrient retention. Lowacid foods include asparagus, shelled beans, snap beans, beets, carrots, corn, hominy, mushrooms, okra, peas, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach and other greens, squash, and sweet potatoes. Property managed heat sterilization has a great deal to do with the quality of canned food. If the temperature is too high or the time of sterilization too long, the result is a product with poor color, soft texture, and less flavor. Tomatoes canned in the pressure canner are an example. Jars must be air-cooled naturally after heat sterilization to maintain quality as well as for safety. Delayed cooling in tightly enclosed areas, such as cardboard cartons, will decrease quality of the product. Storage conditions are vital to quality of canned foods. If stored in a light, rather than a dark place, light-sensitive colors will darken gradually. Storage temperaures between 40 to 50 degrees F (4.5 degrees to 10 degrees C). if the spot is dry , are best for qua ty retention. Quality losses are increased when canned foods are stored at higher temperatures. For example, about a third of the vitamin C is lost if foods are stored a year at temperatures ot 80 degreees F (26 degress C) or higher. Storage temperatures between 50 degrees to 70 degrees F (10 degrees to 21 degrees C) are acceptable. Properly canned and stored foods should be safe to eat for more than two years. However, for top quality, it is best to can only the amount to be used in one year. A T> IT 4 L' I?

Harvest Vegetables Properly Docs a vine-ripened, home vegetable garden tomato look different from a hot-house grown, grocery store purchased tomato? With a tomato it mav he easy to tell when it is ripe, but lor a beginning gardener, telling when to harvest produce may be difficult. With beginners, as much produce is sometimes lost title to improper harvesting as due to insects. Here are descriptions of !i. '-vesting techniques tor some ommon home grown vegetables. Fava Beans or Broad Beans—Pick when immature and si.\ to eight inches long. This is when they are sweetest and most tender. To dry for later use. spread the mature pods in a warm, drv place until the pods and beans are completely drv. Then hull and store the beans in insect-proof containers. Green or Wax Snap Beans—Pick when the pcxls are lull si/e. The newer varieties can he delayed until the beans are full si/e as long as the pods are still tender. I he> should break easily with a "snap" when ready for harvesting. The seeds should not cause the pods to bulge. Pole and Half Runner Beans—Harvest as snap beans when young and stringless and as shell beans when mature. Cabbage—Harvest anytime after a firm head develops. It some plants can’t be harvested alter they reach full maturity, bend them to the ground on one side and break part of the roots to reduce the possibility of head splitting. If the heads havenot split, they can be stored for long periods at temperatures of 32 to 45 degress Fahrenheit. Sweet Corn—Harvest while the husk is still dark green. Kernels should be full si/e and yellow or white color to the tip ot the ear. but still in the soft, milk stage of growth. Corn is sweetest |ust as the silk blackens. Remember that corn matures very rapidly in hot weather and that you should refrigerate immediately after picking to prevent the sugar from turning to starch. —Those of moderate si/e arcbest. Yellowing indicates old age. Don’t allow old cucumbers to remain on the vine because they will keep the vine trom bearing more cucumbers. Harvest while young and green and the seeds are soli. lo use them for sweet pickles, harvest when two to three inches long; for dills, five to six inches; and for slicing, six to eight inches. Eggplant—Harvest when the fruits are large and shinv and uniformly deep purple color. Keep mature fruits picked oil and plants will produce over a long period of time. Fruit in which the seeds have turned brow n are of poor quality and past the edible stage. To tell if the fruit is mature, press the side of the fruit slightly. II the indentation remains, it is mature. ot the slightly. If the indentation remains, it is ature. Muskmelons — They develop the best flavor when they ripen in warm, dry weather, f hey may taste more like cucumbers if they mature in cool. rainy weather. Pick them at “full vlip stage—when the stem separates readily from the Iruit. Fully ripe is sweetest. As the melon ripens, the netting becomes more prominent and the background color between the netting changes from a light green to a tan or vellow cast. After harvesting, the Iruit can be held at room temperature tor one to three days until the blossom end softens. Okra or Gumbo—The best quality is when (he pods are two to three inches long. I hey may have to he harvested daily to yet the ideal quality si/e. Pick within a lew days alter the flower petals have fallen whether pods are to he used or not. It pods are allowed to ripen, the plant ceases to produce. Potatoes — Dig them whenver the tubers are large enough to eat. Dig only what will be used immediately, because they keep better in the soil than in a warm house or basement. Harvest when the tops have died down but before the first heavy Iree/e. When digging, avoid skinning. Avoid long exposure of potatoes to light. Tomatoes—Harvest them when fully vine-ripened and dark red. Regardless of the state of maturity, picked tomatoes should be put in the shade, not the sun. Light is not necessary for immature tomatoes to ripen> Sun causes uneven ripening and abnormal color formation.

The total gross receipts amounted to over $10,000, the best since its beginning several years before. Miss Geraldine Baldwin was given the title of Carnival Queen and Stevie Aylor was runner-up. Amissville Methodist Church made plans for a new educational building which would contairt six large classrooms and a full basement that could be used as two more classrooms and a fellowship hall. The County Supervisors, aided by civic organizations, endeavored to solve the problem of public sanitary landfills, or dumps, for Rappahannock County residents. However, the lack of dumps did not necessitate the dumping of trash which could be burned more easily than it could be hauled to the roadside and scattered. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS WO SEATS on the * of Supervisors were to be contested in the fall of 1967. Supervisor E.M. Estes of Sperryville, incumbent for the Piedmont District seat, was being opposed by Natus H. Brown of Sperryville. H.B.

Susan Dodson, Roger Cordani, and Tommy Williams, all from Rappahannock, attended a 4-H Conservation Camp at Camp Farrar, Virginia Beach. They were chosen by Extension Agents. The session was to provide training important for increased appreciation and understanding for our natural resources. Mrs. Byrd Jones of Washington and Paul Nichols, Flint Hill, were reelected to represent Hampton and Wakefield Districts, respectively, on the Rappahannock County School Board. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS MRS. ELEANOR CORDLE had a bear appear in her kitchen looking for food. The bear had torn down the screen to get inside and found a can of bacon drippings which it licked clean. When Mrs. Cordle became award of the bear’s presence, it had begun to eat a can of peanuts. After a brief stay, the bear left without harming anyone. One of the first large roll balers to appear in Rappahannock was on Ted Triplett’s farm.

Loudoun County Sheriff Receives Probation By LOKRIE ^ Ol'NG Ha|t|M>haiin<M'k Vw- S|„-«-ial I rilrr In Circuit Court last week Judge Raynor Snead placed Loudoun County Sheriff Donald L. Lacy on probation for one year as long as he does not violate any laws during this period. Lacy was brought to the Rappahannock County Circuit Court for an appeal, but after the entourage had arrived, Lacy waived the opportunity to appeal. The reason for the trial being held in Rappahannock Circuit Court was due to a change of venue, which was requested by the Defense Attorney. The change of venue was asked because it was felt that the Sheriff could not get a fair trial w ith an impartial jury in Loudoun. Originally Lacy was convicted in Loudoun General District Court by Judge John Alexander, of Fauquier. Lacy was found guilty of simple assault and was fined SI00 plus court costs while the charges of cursing and abusing were dismissed. The case stemmed from a New Years incident that occurred at the Holiday Inn on Route 28, near Sterling. Lacy was attending a party with his wife when two girls, Lori Holman and Betty Duchame took a picture of Lacy dancing with his wife. After the picture was taken, Lacy was said to have forcibly removed Lori and Betty, taking them to the lobby where he cursed them and threatened them with arrest. Lacy testified in an earlier trial that the two girls were making obscene gestures at his wife and making profane remarks. He called two deputies who came and took the identification of the girls, which Lacy said he did just to scare them so that they would leave him and his wife alone. At this juncture, after waiving his opportunity to appeal, Lacy is said to be considering civil action on this matter. But until such time he is on probation for one year and is to be on his best behavior.

Our Rappahannock Heritage Ability Level (Continued from Page 1) relationship to national ability levels. This ranking, derived from the achievement portions of the test, measures the aptitude of the students tested. Estabrook singled out reading at the eighth grade level as one area needing more concentration, and stressed the need for more remedial reading instruction in Rappahannock County schools. Estabrook said that the improvement in performance of 10th grade students over that of the younger groups tested was due in large part to the narrowing of the school population. "Bv this time, school attendance is no longer compulsory, so that many of the lower-achieving students have dropped out.” Estabrook said that the SRA tests are of most value, not as a measurement of students performance as a group, but in judging the achievements of individual students. "We will be paying a lot of attention in the future to weak spots recorded by individual students,” he said.

FRANCES & BILL LYNE Medical Services Council Meeting By DOROTHY SKELTON The RappahannockRapidan Emergency Medical Services Council held its fourth annual dinner meeting at Graves Mountain Lodge on July 27. Following the presentation of awards and brief reports. Dr. Kimball Maull spoke. Dr. Maull is director of the Center for Emergency and Trauma Medicine at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. Paul Poling, president of EMS Council, emphasized that emergency medical services now depend on local people and county governments for support. Susan D. McHenry, Director/Virginia Division of EMS at' Richmond, noted that local governments and individuals are becoming more involved with EMS. Even though the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance funds have been reduced, rescue squads in our area have received funds based on their needs. Delegate George Beard expressed his continued commitment to EMS and will be co-fostering the establishment of a second State fund for EMS financial assistance. From State funds. Delegate Beard presented a $20.000 award to James Davidson to assist the Marshall Volunteer Rescue Squad Company purchase a Basic Life Support vehicle. Kenneth Pullen accepted the same award for the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Dept, .and Rescue Squad. It will help purchase an Advanced Life Support ambulance, the first for Rappahannock County. Yearly, the EMS Council recognizes those individuals and groups who have made an outstanding contribution to EMS. Nominations came from all areas of the system, including rescue squads, hospitals, the EMS Council and the public. For outstanding achievement by a rescue squad volunteer, Sheila Scott, Amissville Fire & Rescue, received a certificate. She took charge after a bus accident with 20-30 school children until police and school officials arrived on the scene. Steve Grayson, Captain of the Madison Volunteer Rescue Squad, received a certificate for his successful fund-raising projects and his work to supply Advanced Life Support (cardiac) to over 10,000 more people in 1982. He also encouraged eight more squad members to become cardiac technicians to serve with Madison's new Advanced Life Support ambulance. Ms. Connie Gager, a CPR instructor at Cedar Run Rescue Squad, was awarded a certificate for her assistance in establishing a CPR program at Vint Hill Military Base in Fauquier County. For her outstanding instruction of cardiac technicians and shock trauma courses, Mrs. Marie Anderson, Fauquier Hospital, received a certificate. Over the years she has also trained hundreds of technicians to use highly specialized emergency care equipment. The next award went to Mrs. Dorothy Skelton, Madison County consumer, for her contributions to the EMS Council. During 198182. she designed and produced an EMS bumper sticker, designed and wrote an EMS Council brochure, and wrote articles for six newspapers in PD 9. The EMS Council’s final award went to four people for their outstanding service in the direct provision of emergency medical aid. Mrs. Mary Teele of Marshall suffered a heart attack while driving. Following her car ^ were Mrs. Betty Sanford and her husband, Donald. They realized something was wrong with Mrs. Teele. Donald Sanford, despite long years of severe arthritis, jumped out of their car, ran along side Mrs. Teele's car and got it stopped. Betty began mouth to mouth resuscitation. Another driver, Mrs. Ethel Heidt, parked her car and ran to help. She is a Fauquier Hospital EKG technician. She began CPR and was soon aided by Officer Billy Kerns. Warrenton Police Dept. Mrs. Heidt monitored Mrs. Teele in the ambulance going back to Fauquier Hospital. They all visited Mrs. Teele during her recovery. John Capelle, Executive Director of PD 9, conducted the election of 1982-83 EMS Council directors and officers. Board members elected were Rodger Baker. James Peyton. Paul Poling. Mary Quaintance, Dorothy Skelton and Joseph Stevens. The officers will be Paul Poling, president, Joseph Stevens, vice-president; James Peyton, secretary; and H. J. Bond Jr., treasurer.

Players Begin Rehearsals The Rappahannock Players are beginning rehearsals next week for a new dramatic work written by a Rappahannock resident. "Next Year Jerusalem is an unusual kind of play." says author Carla Eugster. “It is in the genre of the movie Dinner With Andre except that my work is largely poetry interspersed with song and dance." Local dancer and choreographer Sally Nash will choreograph the dance segments. Next Year Jerusalem takes place at a Seder table. The Seder is the yearly ritual meal at which Jews celebrate their escape from slavery in Egypt - in other words, the Exodus. The work calls for one woman and three men between the ages of 20 and 40. one grandfather, one boy age 8 to 10, one girl age 9 to 13. three dancers, adult singers, a children’s chorus and chamber musicians. Would-be actors, singers and dancers may still come to trv-outs Saturday, August 7, at 2:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Also people who would like to help in any way should come to the Saturday try-outs or call Eugster at 987-8913. For all your printing needs...

Terry King. Mr. King says the college is also offering a chance for students to enroll ahead of time for fall courses during early registration in August. “This is the first year Germanna has offered early registration." he says. “We would like to encourage fulltime students in particular to enroll in August to be sure they will be able to get all the classes they want and to help divide the number of students we handle during the registration process.” Early fall registration is scheduled for Aug. 18 and 19. Regular registration is set for Sept. 22, and 23 with evening registration at James Monroe High School Sept. 21. Fall classes will begin Sept. 27. Before prospective fulltime students may register for fall courses, however, Mr. King said they are expected to complete placement tests in English and math. The tests are not intended to determine whether or not a student may enter Germanna, biit to assess the level at which the student should begin studies in those areas. Placement tests, which may be completed in about two hours, are scheduled throughout August and September in both the day and evening. The tests may be taken from 9-11 a.m. Aug. 17, Sept. 1, Sept. 3, or Sept. 14. They may also be taken from 7-9 p.m. Aug. 16, and Sept. 13.

Pick The Best Fruit For Preserving By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Mew* Staff Writer For those Rappahannock cooks and canners who do not raise their own fruit, Geneva Burke of Burke’s fruit stand on Rt. 211 has some pointers on selecting the best fruit for canning. “Most folks pick large freestone peaches for canning," Burke said. “We sell a lot of the yellow peaches for canning, as well." Burke recommends selecting firm peaches that are not overripe for canning in syrup. For jam, she recommends any sweet, flavorful peach that has a distinct enough flavor to compete with the large amounts of sugar and the cooking required for jams and jellies. For applesauce and pies, Burke recommended Rambos, now at their peak. r “Rambos have a lot of flavor I and they don't get as mushy i as a lot of apples." she said. Burke also recommends j the later white peaches for canning: Georgia Belle and Elberta, which have a free stone to make processing easier. Of the later apples, Burke likes Lodi for pies and applesauce and Golden Delicious for pretty, smooth applesauce and apple butter. Burke showed us how to 1 select a good melon for table , use: "Cantalopes should smell like cantalopes," she ! said. ‘‘1 like them to be \ yellow, and I prefer those with a rough skin.” "When you select a watermelon, thump it," she said. "Watermelons should sound like they’re full of water. Then you know that they’re ripe and sweet.” _ -R«PP»h*nrv>rt Nnn Photo/T. Rpvnoldii TESTS FOR RIPENESS of a cantaloupe are its color and smell. Geneva Burke of Burke’s Fruit Stand in Sperryville selects a ripe melon from those she is selling at her stand. Visiting Florence Williamson OfWoodville By THERESA REYNOLDS RoiMwhann.H-k V.. Su,ff « ri,„ Florence Williamson, the herb lady of Woodville, has rows and rows of herbs alternating with her vegetables and perennials, their muted, soft colors providing rest for the eye and soft landing for the bees. Over the years, Mrs. Williamson has cut back some of her herb production to make room for the flowers that she grows to dry for the Trinity Episcopal Church flower sale in the fall. But she maintains enough herbs to use in seasoning and teas, to preserve for the winter, and to use in her latest project—a cookbook using herbs to substitute some of the flavor lost in diets using little salt, fat or sugar. “This is a perfect situation for herb use." Mrs. Williamson said. “I think As welcome as is the first of summer's bouty from the garden, even the most patient gardeners run out of ideas by this time in the summer for using that most prolific of summer vegetables - squash. To help with the squash overflow problem and prevent sentiments such as that expressed by one confirmed local squash hater ("Nuke the zukes”), we've come up with 20 ways to fix squash. We hope that some of these will appeal to you: t. Hollow out centers of hot squash, fill with favorite cooked hot meat, vegetables or cheese. 2. Grate raw squash into salads, even tuna. 3. Cut into strips for a rawvegetable platter. 4. Cut zucchini peel in thin strips for beautiful salad garnish. 5. Toss hot squash cubes with butter, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper. 6. Sprinkle cooked squash halves with grated cheese, then buttered break crumbs. Dot with butter. Broil until hot and lightly browned. 7. Broil or grill large slices of oil-brushed squash on both sides. 8. Steam whole squash, havled lengthwise, 10-15 minutes. I Squash bugs eat squash and some other plants and have a very bad smell. 9. Saute cubed, thinly sliced or coarsely shred,’ed salted and. dried squash in butter or olive oil 3 to 6 minutes or until just tender. 10. Combine one-third cup vinegar, one-fourth cup sugar, 2Vi tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon wine vinegar, Vi teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Add 5 small zucchini, thialy sliced, Vi cup diced celery, Vi cup diced onion and Vi cup chopped green pepper. Marinate in refrigerator several hours or overnight. 11. Place 4 succhini in a 2Vi quart casserole. Sprinkle with Vi teaspoon soy sauce, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon garlic salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Layer slices from 2 medium tomatoes over zucchini, top with 1 Vi cups shredded cheese and dot with 3 tablespoons butter. Cover; bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. 12. Cook four slices bacon in large skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside; save drippings. Saute 4 large yellow squash, sliced and 2 green onions, sliced, in the drippngs until tender. Combine 1 beaten egg with Vi cup commercial sour cream. Add to squash mixture. Stir in half the bacon.* Spoon half the squash mixture into a greased shalow 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle Vi cup shredded Swiss Cheese over top; spoon remaining squash mixture over cheese. Sprinkle three-fourths cup shredded Cheddar cheese over surface; top with remaining bacon. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbly. Zucchini Dolma Serves 6 to 8 J/« pound ground lamb or beef Vi cup uncooked rice I Vi cups homemade tomato sauce Vi cup chopped parsley 1 medium diced onion Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 3 pounds young six-inch zucchini 3 to 8 fresh grape leaves 1 cup water I lemon Combine the meat, rice, 1 cup of the tomato sauce, parsley, onion and salt and pepper. Remove the ends of the zucchini and with an apple or long Middle Eastern vegetable corer scoop out the interior of the zucchini, leaving a one-eighth inch shell. Stuff the filling in the zucchini, leaving about'/* inch open at the end. Line a large heavy casserole with grape leaves. Fill with the stuffed vegetables. Then combine the water and remaining tomato sauce and pour over. If needed, add more water and tomato sauce to come half way up the vegetables. Squeeze lemon juice over all. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Serve warm with yogurt and mint. Variations: other vegetables can also be used: eggplant, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cabbage, grape leaves and melon. 13. Pickle Zucchini: Follow the same recipe as for cucumber pickle, using small, tender zucchini. 14. Feed them to the hogs. Hogs fed on squash have tender sweet meat. Let them grow larger than usual, store them in an airy, dry place, and give your hogs 2 or 3 a day as a special treat. 15. Cook Squash with tomato and sliced onion. Saute onion first in margarine, add squash and tomato and cook until done. 16. Cook several kinds together for flavor and color. Saute yellow squash with tender zucchini chunks in butter. Add salt, pepper and basil. 17. Patty pan squashes (the small green round ones with the scalloped rims) may be stuffed and baked. Scoop out the upper part, grate and mix with butter or margarine, bread crumbs and minced onion.Stuff the squash with this mixture and bake for half an hour. 18. Steam tiny (2-inch) patty pans whole and toss with butter and herbs. 19. Cook zucchini with potatoes, celery, green onions, and basil. Saute the chopped onions in oil first, add basil and chopped celery. Then add tomato sauce, zucchini chunks and potatoes cut in half-inch pieces. Stir gently to coat with oil, then cover and steam until tender. After sauteing squash with onion until tender, add yogurt and dill weed. Heat over very low heat until just warmed through.

Use them sparingly at first until you are accustomed to their flavors. Use less of dried herb than fresh - approximately % to one-third the amount. As a general rule s Id them the last 10 or 15 minutes of cooking. Try the following suggestions: VEGETABLE SOUP Add a bouquet of fresh thyme, parsley, summer savory, marjoram and chives. Dried herbs can be used. MEATS Pot Roast - Season with chopped marjoram, thyme, chives and rosemary. Lamb Shish-ke-BoLs - Marinate tor several hours in rosemary vinegar and oil with crushed garlic added. Venison for stew Marinate for several hours in vinegar and oil, with crushed garlic and minced marjoram. Stewed Chicken - Add two 4" sprigs of rosemary VEGETABLES: Use just enough water so that all is absorbed in cooking. Thyme Snap Beam - Use summer savory and minced onion. Carrot* - For 4 servings, add 1 tsp. dried savory, 1 tbsp. Honey and 1 tsp. basil vinegar, or Vi tsp. basil and 1 tsp. vinegar. Winter Squash - Try using fresh or dried thyme. Boiled Potatoes - Add a dash of salt, margarine, and a generous amount of chopped parsley; shake and serve. Chopped chives or dill are equally delicious. SALADS: Add Vi tsp. rosemary vinegar to the mayonnaise for a fruit salad. Lettuce with herbs - Add chopped sorrel leaves, chives, parsley and borage or Burnet. Toss with French dressing. Try other combination of herbs. Tomatoes - Arrange thick slices on a platter; mince chives and basil over each slice. Refrigerate covered. Before serving, dot with French dressing. HERB BUTTERS Basic recipe: */« cup softened unsalted butter or margarine, 1 to 2 tbsps. minced fresh herb, and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Blend with spoon. Set aside at room temperature for an hour or %two before using or storing in refrigerator. Try using parsley, chives, basil, tarragon, or a combination of herbs. Use to season vegetables, omelets, and numerous other foods. Delicious on hot biscuits! For the' compulsive “Salt Shaker" in the family, prepare a mixture of finely crushed dried herbs - basil, lovage (or celery seed), summer savory, thyme, marjoram, unsalted garlic powder, paprika and a dash of red pepper. Place in snaker tor use in kitchen or at the table. Use imagination with herbs for the magical touch! what people miss most when they restrict salt is not really salt, but flavor." One of the ways in which Mrs. Williamson preserves the flavor of herbs for wintertime cooking is to make up batches of herb vinegar. She was kind enough to share her recipe with Rappahannock News readers who grow herbs. This is for basil, but any leafy herb may be used in this way. First, pick the small leaves from your basil plants. If it has rained and you have mulched around the basil, you probably don’t even need to wash the leaves. Use about one-halt the volume of basil leaves that you use in vinegar. Chop the leaves, heat vinegar - either cider or white (Mrs. Williamson uses cider) - until hot. Use a non-metal container, a crock or a glass jar. Heat the container before adding vinegar or use an enamel pan or bucket w ith no cracks. Stir with a wooden spoon or shake the container every day. Let this steep for two or three weeks. When the vinegar seems strong enough, strain it through a colander lined with cheesecloth. Mrs. Williamson warned against making vinegar with more than this proportion of herbs. “It you have too mueh vegetable matter, it reduces the acidity of the vinegar," she said. To store the vinegar for any period of time, Mrs. Williamson boils it and pours it into clean glass jars or bottles. She also cautions would-be herb vinegar makers to make sure the vinegar is covered while it is steeping so that there will be no bugs in w ith the herbs. "I usually leave the vinegar out on my kitchen counter so I won't forget to stir it each day." she said. "But it is important to keep it covered with plastic." For each kind of herb vinegar she makes, Mrs. Williamson has favorite uses. Rosemary vinegar she adds to mayonnaise and serves as a dressing for fruit salads. Basil vinegar is for salad greens - collards. cress and spinach - about I teaspoon per serving along with a little margarine. "This adds the flavor that you might miss if you've been cooking greens with fat meat." she said. Also fine with basil vinegar are cooked cold or hot beets. She adds a little honey, too. She also pairs basil vinegar with its classic partner, tomatoes, either alone or in a tossed salad. Other herb vineg<t*rs good for use in salad dressing are chive, tarragon and dill. “Dill vinegar is a good way to make sure that your cucumbers and dill come out even." Williamson said. "11 your dill is ready before your cucumbers, don’t let it go to seed and lose its flavor. Make a strong vinegar, w ith a lot of dill and save it for when your cucumbers are ready for pickling." Mrs. wimamson says mat most herbs dry well, with the exception of chives which are too succulent to dry properly . "I usually freeze chives," she said. "Emily Miller told me how to freeze them so that they separate easily. I spread them out on a cookie sheet and. when thev're frozen through. I fill about a dozen small bags with frozen chives.” Over sandwiches of cream cheese and herbs and tea with lemon verbena and rosemary, Mrs. Williams explained her plans for a cookbook. "I can really sympathize with those people who've had to cut down on fat, salt and sugar." she said. “I’ve been doing it for years and using herbs has made it a lot easier to take." She hopes that anyone in the county with a favorite recipe using herbs for flavoring instead of salt or animal fat will share their ideas with her. One problem, though, has popped up in her refining recipes for publication. "1 use a little of this, a pinch of that,” Mrs. Williamson said. ‘‘Now you just can't use measurements like that in a cookbook." Several times during our visit, the phone rang with friends planning a goldenrod hunt with Mrs. Williamson. The goldenrod, like many of the perennials and everlastings that grow in her garden, is for the church sale later in the year. Mrs. Williamson has applied her knowledge of gardening and drying to the church’s l<a|>j>ahann<N k Nhu. Photo 'I'.

I his is an important project for me." she said. “I hope there will he an increasing number to volunteer to search for. grow and dry flowers and foliage for the sale." Besides her herbs, her drying operation and her cookbook. Mrs. ' Williamson is busy with visitors requesting information on herbs and wanting seeds, cuttings and instructions from this recognized expert. After a while, a visitor suspects that herbal lore and practical advice are not the only reasons tor Flossie Williamson's constant company. Just a few minutes ss ith this sparklv lady makes \ou teel lull of energy and ideas. It's all in the extra care she takes making the tea. the lovingly-furnished house, the homey kitchen, the garden lull of bees and fragrant flowers where the groundhog gets his share, too. So when tea. time comes, Mrs. Williamson takes out three cups, even though just herself and one visitor are there. "I always put out an extra cup," she says.

It has a good ring to it, but those who say it often don’t think about the consequences because very likely, they are victims of a most insidious disease: Alcoholism. Vital body organs are affected by alcoholism, as badly in some cases as cancer. Organs like the liver, the brain, the heart. . . but that is only part of it, because alcoholism also affects loved ones, friends, work associates and the whole community—and it affects the nation, too. It all adds up to a Life on the Rocks. At Shenandoah Lodge Treatment Center we help the alcoholic to say "No!" We do it in an environment that is conducive to recovery, and we do it in a 28-day treatment program that works. We are physicians, nurses, counselors, therapists, and more. . . we are a professional team that cares about what we do. And we are licensed by the Virginia Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. All it takes to get out of the "ROCKS” is a phone call. For the alcoholic and those who love him it may well be the most important phone call that they will ever make. The number to call is (703) 434-7396. . Our staff is ready to help 24 hours a day, . 7 days a week.

Neil G. Wood, 28, was arrested by Park rangers and a State game warden on November 7. 1981, in the Sawmill Run section of the Park, while attempting to shoot a bear confined in a homemade trap. In addition to the hunting charge, Mr. Wood was also charged with trapping and possession of a weapon in the Park. Mr. Wood was tried on July 22 before U. S. Magistrate Glen E.

The toll free number is 1 - 800-552-3200. Concern over alcohol abuse, illegal sales to minors and other violations of ABC laws prompted the Department to install the toll free line. “We are asking the people of Virginia to assist us in our efforts to curb ABC violations," said ABC Chairman Archer L. Yeatts Jr. An electronic answering service will be utilized to receive the toll free calls. Callers may remain anonymous or they may leave their name and telephone number if they wish the Department to contact them. "We will investigate all complaints," said Yeatts, “but enforcement action will occur only if violations are observed or if there is evidence that a violation has occurred.” Travel Up On State Highways June travel on the state’s major highways increased by 3.4 percent over the same month a year^go. according to the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation.

Travel h> all passenger vehicles was up 3.9 percent. with Virginutregistered passenger vehicles showing an increase of 3.7 percent, compared to the same month a sear ago. Bus and truck travel was up 2.1 percent when compared to June. 1981. —FOOT FACTSDr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist “MORTON’S TOE” Many patients are told by their regular physician that they have Morton's Toe”. They can complain of numbness in their toes (most often in the third and fourth). This can be exacerbated by wearing shoes or by standing. They feel a burning cramping pain that can get quite severe. What they are feeling is actually a pinched nerve tumor. In a spot where the nerve branches between two bones it is fairly common for the nerve to thicken and inflame. When the foot is put in a shoe the enlarged nerve gets pinched. Removing the shoe and rubbing usually temporarily relieves the pain. This problem can be treated quite satisfactorily many times with medication alone. If it persists it can be removed with complete relief of symptoms. Another name for this problem is “Morton's Neuroma”. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

Raised Beds Increase Garden Yields - For versatility, convenience. and decoration, you may want to try growing your vegetables and flowers in raised beds. You can grow most of the same vegetables and flowers above the ground in a raised bed that you can grow in a conventional garden, but often with more ease and in a smaller space. Construction of a raised bed can be very enjoyable and rewarding. A very simple raised bed may be built out of railroad ties. Stack the R.R. ties on top of each so that they overlap alternately in the corners. Nail the ties together in the corners with 12" spikes so that the entire structure will not fall apart from the pressure of the soil. You may also wish to construct a raised bed out of wood. Redwood or cedar is the best wood to use since it is relatively rot-resistant and weathers attractively. Use 4" by 4" corner supports sunken into the ground 12". and 1" to 2" thick boards for the sides. You can make the raised bed any length you wish, but be sure the width is such that the middle of the bed is easily accessible from both sides. A good width to use is four feet. You will want to treat your wooden raised bed with a copper-sulfate wood preservative if the wood has not already been treated at the lumber yard. Do not use pentachlorophenol as this will damage the plants. Large concrete pipes can be stacked on top of each other to make excellent raised beds of different heights. They can also be used individually as attractive flower containers. Large tractor ties can be used in the same manner to make fun raised gardens for small children. If you have access to a large amount of bricks, you can build raised beds from them in which to grow vour vegetables and flowers. Bricks blend well with most decors and landscapes and make very tidy raised bedsl Stones and rocks can also be used to make attractive raised beds. If your available garden space is on a steep slope, you can use rocks very effectively to build tiers of beds. The large variety of sizes and shapes of stones and rocks* allows you to choose materials which fit perfectly to your decorative needs. Soil for your raised bed should be light, porous, and nutritious. Since it takes a lot of soil to fill a raised bed, it may be most convenient to use a good topsoil. These soils are light and therefore allow for easy digging and cultivation, but don't forget that they will probably need an addition of fertilizer to provide nutrients for your plants. Because the soil in a raised bed is above the ground and has access to the air, there is rarely a problem of poor drainage.

Anti the soil warms up much faster and therefore allows for earlier planting in the spring. Bv using your imagination with the variety of construction materials and design, you can easily build a raised bed for your vegetables and flowers that can be a pleasant addition to your home landscape. Plant annual flowers or dwarf shrubs in tubs or large crocks for the porch or patio. Be-sure there are holes in the bottom and a layer of crushed stone to allow good drainage. Scatter annual popp.v seeds in flower beds or borders. The fine seed needs no covering. The plants grow rapidly and provide colorful flowers in early summer. Plant roses to replace those which were killed by cold last winter. Prune roses just before growth starts to produce the size of blooms you desire. If large exhibition blooms are desired, cut canes back to about '/2 their original length. If a larger number of smaller flowers are wanted, cut the canes back to about twothirds or three-fourths their original length. Cover the cut end of each cane w ith wound dressing to prevent entrance of Carpenter bees. Scatter some radish seeds thinly along the row when planting carrots, beets, and parsnips. The radishes will come up quickly and mark the row. They will reach edible size in about 3 weeks and can be removed to provide space for the slowermaturing crops. Inorganic fertilizers are those such as the 5-10-5 which you buy at your local garden center or store. These chemical compounds dissolve quite rapidly in moist soil in either warm or cold weather. The released nutrients are readily available for plants. This is an economical type of fertilizer which may be used when the garden is planted, or as a sidedressing during the summer. Heavy applications may burn the roots of young plants. Organic fertilizers are materials such as manure, seed meals, sludge, or tankage which are derived from plant or animal sources. They must break down or rot before the nutrients are ACSC News Lamb and wool producers have an opportunity (luring an August 16 through 27 referendum to vote on whether they want the American Sheep Producers Council. Inc., to continue its market promotion and improvement program on their behalf by entering a new agreement with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The agreement to be voted on is similar to one approved in 1978. except it would authorize larger deductions from producer incentive payments. By approving it. producers would authorize deductions of up to 4 cents per pound on shorn wool and 20 cents per hundredweight on unshorn lambs marketed in 1982. Deduction rates from 1978 through 1981 were 2'/j cents and I2'/j cents, respectively. The Rappahannock County ASCS office will distribute copies of the agreement and ballots to all known sheep producers in early August. Producers may -cast their ballots by mailing or delivering them in person to the Rappahannock County ASCS Office by the close of the referendum. Anyone may vote who has owned sheep six months old or older for at least 30 consecutive days during 1981. Votes may be cast by individuals or by cooperatives. Members of cooperatives which cast votes would not be eligible to vote separately in the referendum. The agreement requires approval by two-thirds of the total volume of producers, or twothirds of. the total volume of production represented in the referendum. The National Wool Act of 1954 provides the authority for deductions and for promotion activities. Sheep producers have approved the program in each of the seven referendums held since 1954. In the most recent referendum of 1978, 75 percent of the producers approved of the program. released for plant use. This | occurs very slowlv in cold | weather but may be com- | pleted in a few weeks under * moist conditions in midsummer. Organic fertilizers usually are more expensive than inorganic forms but provide nutrients over a ; longer period of time and will ^ not bum plants if applied too heavily. i Gravity loading of earthen liquid manure systems seems to be working well on several dairy farms in Virginia, reports Eldridge R. Collins, extension agricultural engineer at Virginia Tech. The arrangement can be used at sloping sites where there is a drop in elevation of four to six feet between the barn or lot floor and full basin storage level. — Rappahanrux'k New* Photn/H.^ .

Tony Perez (right), governor of all Lions clubs in the country of Costa Rica, and Ken Isaac (center), governor of Northern Virginia’s Lions District 24-A. discussed plans for establishing a youth exchange program between their respective districts. Both Perez and Isaac had attended the Lions International Convention in Atlanta. Ga., the week before, but did not meet until their arrival at the home of Captain and Mrs. H.W. Holschuh in Rock Mills. Perez narrated some slides showing the work of Lions in Costa Rica, a country with a proud heritage of caring for its own. Summer Health Dangers — Now that the hottest days of summer are here we need to remember that warm weather presents many potential health dangers. During periods of very high temperature, anyone—especially the elderly and those with medical problems — may build up enough body heat to incur heat stroke, heat syncope or heat exhaustion. 1. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty. Your body needs considerably more fluid than your thirst will indicate. When the outside temperature is above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, you may easily need to drink more than a gallon of fluids a day. (Before increasing your fluid intake, however, consult your doctor if you have epilepsy; heart, kidney or liver disease; or fluid retention problems—or if vou have been placed on a restricted-fluid diet.) 2. Don’t drink alcoholic beverages. 3. Avoid direct sunlight. 4. Stay in the coolest place possible. It you don’t have an air conditioner, try to spend some time each day in an airconditioned place. Other good ways to cool ott are taking frequent showers or placing icebags or wet towels on your body. 5. Wear lightweight, loosefitting clothes. 6. Avoid unnecessary physical exertion. 7. Don't use salt tablets without consulting your doctor, because salt can compound existing medical problems such as high blood pressure. The three most serious conditions hot weather can trigger are heat stroke, heat syncope and heat exhaustion. Heat stroke, a failure of all body cooling mechanisms, is a medical emergency that demands immediate attention and treatment by a doctor. Symptoms include faintness; dizziness; staggering; headache; nausea; loss of consciousness; high body temperature (104 degrees Fahrenhei t-40 degrees Centigrade or higher); strong, rapid pulse; and flushed skin. In severe cases, blood pressure drops as circulation tails. Heat syncope results from exercising in the heat or trom a failure to adapt to the hot weather. This condition is marked by dizziness, fatigue and sudden faintness. Other symptoms are cool, sweaty, pale skin, weak pulse; and falling pressure. Unlike the victim of heat stroke, the person with heat syncope recovers when removed from direct exposure to the heat. Treatment involves resting (lying down or sitting down with the head lowered), cooling oft and drinking extra fluids. Heat exhaustion is the most common form of illness caused by hot weather. This condition takes longer to develop and results from a loss of body fluids and salt. Symptoms include thirst; fatigue; giddiness; elevated body temperatures; and. in severe instances, delirium. Muscle cramps may also occur. Heat exhaustion is treated by having the patient rest in bed, away from the heat; giving cool liquids to restore body fluids; and, on the advice of a physician, giving alcohol sponge baths or applying wet towels to the body. With advancing age, many people become less able to resist and recover from stresses such as exposure to heat. For this reason, the elderly are particularly vulnerable, to extreme and prolonged hot weather. (Reasons may be that older people sweat less than vounger ones and are more likely to have underlying diseases or to take medicines that decrease their resistance to heat stress.) Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest. —Laurence Sterne SNAPPER HIVAC RIDER.THE ALL SEASON WINNER SNAPPERS Hi-Vac' rider with 6-bushel grass catcher makes short work of lawn chores.
