Rappahannock News, June 30, 1983

SAMPLE 33ra YEAR. NO. 26 USPS 433380 16 Papes The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 THURSDAY. JUNE 30, 1983 WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA a,., Plume 673-3340 Eleventh Grade Above Norm In SRA Tests For the second year in a row, Rappahannock’s 11th graders performed above the national norm on standardized achievement tests. According to results released this week by the State Department of Education for tests administered in the spring of 1983, eleventh graders here scored in the 55th percentile ranking in reading. 57th percentile in math, 58th percentile in language arts, 52nd percentile on social studies, 57th percentile in science and 54th percentile in educational ability. The' percentile rankings show the relationship of scores of Rappahannock students to those of a large national sample of students at the same grade level. The 5Uth percentile (or national norm) is that point above which half the students in the national group scored and below which the other half scored. The scores posted by Rappahannock’s eleventh graders in 1982-83 are higher than those in 1981-82 in math, language, science and educational ability, going up an overall total of eight points. Although their scores ranked — for the most part — below national norms, Rappahannock’s fourth and eighth graders also showed marked improvement compared to last year’s performances. Eighth graders upped their achievement scores in reading and science and climbed 12 points in educational ability over 1981-82. They dropped in social studies by 13 points and in reading by ten points but the total for all five achievement tests and educational ability improved by five points. Percentile rankings for Rappahannock’s eighth graders this year were 47th for reading, 53rd for math, 4(ith for language arts, 45th for social studies, 55th for science and 52nd for educational abilitv. lTp By .50 Points Fourther graders showed the most dramatic improvement compared to their counterparts in 19X182. Their test scores jumped a total of dO points w ith the most significant increases coming in reading and math. Fourth graders achieved above the national norm in both those categories: 52nd percentile in reading and 55th percentile in math. Other scores were 48th percentile in social studies and 44th percentil in language, science and educational ability. "Certainly, overall. I'm very pleased we’re noting these improvements,” said Superintendent Robert Estabrook, of the results of the 1982-88 standardized testing program. However, he expressed doubts about the validity of the educational ability ranking, the same doubts Estabrook voiced last year when scores of Rappahannock students on that portion of the SRA (Science Research Associates) tests went down instead of up compared with the previous year. “I’d love to make glowing remarks about how the educational ability of our students is improving but I can’t sing a different tune just because the results are favorable...Less than a half-hour is devoted to the ability portion of the SRA tests. It’s a very, very, very crude form of ability testing,” the superintendent said. “I’m sure that, in terms of ability, SRA tests do no give us a very good indication of where our students stand." He noted that the tests, both achievement and ability, have a standard error of measurement of roughly 4V-> points at each grade level. “That’s 4'/a points either way, up or down,” he added. Taking that into consideration, Estabrook said, the important strides made by students in this year's tests come at the fourth grade level in math (up by 17 points) and the eighth grade level in reading (up by ten points), science (eight points) and educational ability (12 points). “Surely, that kind of improvement is significant,” he said. He attributed the higher test scores to a cooperative effort by the administration and teachers. Estabrook said that the central office - staff has worked with teachers on organizing curriculum. “We're trying to get away from the idea that curriculum is going from the first page to the last page in a text book. Teachers need to look each year at the students in front of them in terms of their needs...More than anything else, we (the central office staff) have tried to remind our teachers to be sensitive to the individual needs of the children." The SRA test results demonstrate that Rappahannock’s teachers "are reaching individual kids," the superintendent added. State Averages Up Throughout the state, standardized test scores climbed in 1982-83 with averages for Virginia youngsters ranking above the national norm in all categories at every grade level. This is the first time since the early 1970s, when the Department of Educational began releasing the test scores, that the performance of Virginia students has compared so favorably with national norms. For the state as a whole, fourth grade percentile rankings were 5<ith for math and language arts. 53rd for (Continued on Page 2) Are Our Schools Good Enough? Editors Note: A few weeks ago, at the regular Jane school hoard meeting, School superintendent Robert Estahrook told hoard members that he would he addressing them in July on the controversial report hg the National Commission on Excellence in Education. Estahrook said that he would use the report, A Nation At Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform, to examine present and future directions for county schools. Board members suggested that the Rappahannock News analyse the report so that citizens would have some background. We hope that all parents and educators who have not read the disturbing report will take time to do so and to attend the July meeting to hear Estabrook's suggestions for Rappahannock's educational future. Afialysis Seldom has education dominated the national news as it has the past few months. This is due in part to the alarming, if not surprising, findings of the National Commission on Excellence in Education, in part because of the widespread feeling that prompted Education Secretary T.H. Bell to form the Commission and ask for the report - the “widespread (Continued on Page 12) Washington Celebrates Independence Day ixjppahannock News Photo I Reynolds SHALL WE DANCE? is the question posed by Waldron O'Connor to his wife Sam as they rehearse tor the fancy dress ball at Jessamine Hill on Saturday.

(The supervisors were told by accountant Wally Cox at their regular -June meeting that they could put off the reassessment by requesting the extension before December 31.) Other budget items changed by the supervisors were employees’ salaries (not set by the state) lowered from an increase of W'< to 4’/<: and the deletion of .$4,000 set aside by the supervisors for the victim-witness program. Supervisor H. B. Wood made four motions aimed at bringing the tax rate down. He proposed all three of the cuts accepted by the board, and made a fourth motion that died for lack of a second. Surplus Remains Talking about the $179,000 that Cox said would be sufficient for this year's surplus. Wood proposed that it be reduced to $150,000. “We’ve already got jail expenses in,” he said. “What could happen in the county that would cost more than $150,000?" "We have to leave that $25,000 (for the assessment) in one place or another,” Dick Latham argued. “We can t cut both or we ll be in the same jam next year that we are now.” “But we’ll have more left next year,” Wood insisted. I he SI.>11.000 is more than adequate for this county." Hubert (iilkey spoke in opposition to Wood’s proposal: “I m opposed to doing both-lowing the surplus and omitting the reassessment. We don't want an increase again next year," he said. I ete Estes was also opposed. "Let’s not shave this surplus down,” he said. When Wood’s motion failed to find a second, Estes countered with a motion to leave the entire surplus amount in. That motion passed, with everyone but Wood voting for it. Victim Witness Program Deleted Noting that Fauquier had not appropriated any money for their share of a joint victim-witness pro *rram. Dick Latham said that there was no reason to leave Rappahannock’s share in. "The program in Loudoun started as a volunteer effort,” he said. “Maybe we can try to net something like that K«i>'k here and in Fauquier." Wood made a motion to delete the $4,000 budgeted for that program, and it passed unanimously. Wood’s fourth motion was to cut the increase for county employees not established by state regulation by 1 percent. “This will keep it consistent with the increases received by school employees.” he noted. Included in this category are the doj; warden and county office janitorial services. This motion passed, w ith Latham abstaining. With these measures agreed on, the Supervisors voted unanimously to set the tax rate at VI rents and to appropriate funds to pay salaries for the next fiscal year. (.'enter For Independent Living Sam Snead appeared before the Supervisors to request a resolution endorsing a bond issue for the Rappahannock Center For Independent Living. Snead explained that, since there was no industrial authority in Rappahannock County, he had appeared before the Warren County Industrial Rond Authority to work out details of the municipal bonds to be issued for the center to be constructed in Harris Hollow, after first meeting with the Kappahan nock su|HM \ isors to start the procedure. The resolution contained no endorsement of the project. Snead emphasized alter questions from the audience, and details as to construction, safety, and desirability would be questioned at the time of application for a building permit. Snead added that the procedure was complicated by having to yo through another county’s industrial authority. Kirby Thornton of <'a>t leton spoke in opposition to the center. Calling himself a “concerned citizen", Thornton said he was “totally opposed to the home. Let Warren County or Front Royal have it,” he said.

Supervisors (Continued from Page 1) “This is not just an old folks home - old fogeys having a good time,” he added. “I want to know if you will have bars on the windows and a security force,” he demanded. “The windows will be barred,” Snead responded. “There will be no need for a special security force.” “Have you put up any money yourself?” Thornton asked. Snead said that he had put up $20,000 and that the project involved lawyers and architects as well as his partner, who had also put up $20,000. Thornton asked where the employees would come from and Snead answered that they would come from the county as much as possible. In response to another question from Thornton, Snead replied that there would be dozens of support jobs in addition to the professional staff, jobs that he felt certain that county residents would be qualified for. There would be 76 jobs in all, Snead said, with three shifts covering all day and night hours. “This is quite disturbing,” Thornton said. “People come up with all kinds of bad ideas based on employing county people. This is blatant development. If people need jobs, let them leave the county and get jobs elsewhere. Build it in Front Royal.” Thornton concluded his statements by saying that “those legal notices are always hidden in the back of the paper. People didn’t see it, and that’s why they didn’t come forward before.” Fire and Rescue Concerns Gene Leggett appeared, saying that as the home’s nearest neighbor, he had no personal concerns. “I have no personal objections,” he said. “This should have a low environmental impact.” Leggett added, however, that as president of :he Washington Rescue Association he had some ques tions about the center's impact on the volunteer rescue force in Washington. He said that the presence of IOC people with various infirmities in the squad’s territory might notably increase the demands on the crew. Donald Gore spoke on behalf of the county-wide fire and rescue organizations. “I’m not for or against the project, personally, either,” he said. “I’m just concerned... I would like the board to make sure that there will be a fire and rescue plan for the center.” Snead replied that the center would adhere to state regulations and would work with the fire and rescue associations throughout the county. “We will take an active role in helping the county crews,” he said. Mitzi Young had questions about the effect on the community of such a structure. Citing her background as a psychiatric social worker, Young said that she found the lack of a community impact statement surprising. Young raised questions about sewage disposal, impact on the school system, trash, emergency services, roads and recreational facilities. Like Gore and Leggett, Paul Poling had questions about safety. He said that the center’s furnishings should also bear close attention for fire prevention purposes. Robert Eastham spoke to the supervisors from the audience. “I personally favor the facility,” he said. “But these people have raised important questions. Will there be any fiscal impact, Sam? Will there be any tax obligation?” “Absolutely none,” Snead responded. Wood spoke: “These people have raised valid noints.” he said. “I, for one, thought this was to be a nursing home. Now we see it’s for the mentally retarded, really.” Snead replied, “We all have relatives and friends I know I have relatives - that are mentally ill, but not dan4 Guest Elected To Bessemer Boards Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr., of Front Royal, a cattle farmer and member of the Virginia General Assembly, for the district that includes Rappahannock County, has been elected a director of The Bessemer Group, Inc., and two subsidiary companies, Bessemer Trust Company (New Jersey) and Bessemer Trust Company, N.A.

The approval of the Rappahannock County Supervisors was also needed for the bond issue. After further questioning from the audience, the board voted to pass the reso lution, with Wood abstaining.

m —Rappahannock News Photo/T. Reynolds BEHIND THE COUNTER at Hardees, Roberta Murphy of Flint Hill works at the job she found after taking the Job Shop program last month. Job Shop trainees learn interviewing skills designed to help them land permanent employment. Job Shop Puts Rappahannock Woman To Work Sharing the spotlight this spring with local high school and college graduates is Roberta Murphy, who “graduated” from a unique local agency, the Job Shop, a special three-day session ofI fered last month to those I seeking employment. Murphy attended the Job Shop, receiving training in interviewing skills and reT sume writing. These skills come in handy when, on completion of the session, Murphy took a test and was hired by Hardees in WarI renton. Social worker Mary Wilkins said that the session Murphy attended was a special short one, but that the Job Shops are regularly scheduled and may be attended by anyone seeking a job. This service is free to those who are income-eligible. Murphy, a Flint Hill resident, said that it took her “no time at all" to find a job after her graduation. Fart of the credit goes to Hardees. NY Times Says It’s A Capital Place The New York Times devoted the front page of the travel section in its June 12 Sunday edition to “The First Washington: A Capital Place.” The Times quotes the historical marker on the outskirts of town: “The town of Washington, Virginia, The First Washington of All, surveyed and platted by George Washington, with the assistance of John Lonem and Edward Gorder, as Chainmen, August 4, 1749. Organized and Established as a Town by the General Assembly of Virginia, December 14, 1796.” The reporter notes that the streets still bear the names young George Washington gave them— Wheeler, Calvert, Jett and Porter, the first families to settle at the crossroads that became the town. “And Gay Street, which the more romantic historians say he named for Gay Fairfax, who preceded Martha in his affections,” the reporter adds. (Those who believe that the mysterious “lowland beauty” mentioned by Washington in his letters was Gay Fairfax and that she inspired the young surveyor to name a street in her honor will be disappointed to know that the Gays were among the earliest settlers here and belonged to the Presbyterian Church in town.) According to the Times, George Washington really wanted to put the capital of the new nation in this first Washington but couldn’t because the Rush River's flow wasn’t sufficient for river boat transportation. The reporter cites Miss Ruby Jenkins. “the village's unofficial historian” the “guardian of the past” as the source for this information. I he article includes a photo of Skippv Giles’ Cash Store. “The good old boys from the surrounding farms still drive their gun-racked pickups and hound dogs into town on Saturdays to hang out on the porch of the Washington Cash Mart, the village’s all-purpose general store, where you can buy anything from a pair of gum boots to a sirloin steak,” the reporter says. "At the same time, the area’s modern squires, male and female, often dress up, mount their hunters, and go hurtling over fences in pursuit of foxes, which, to the relief of many, they rarely catch or kill,” he adds. Another photograph, identified as John Walker Jenkins’ auction house, is actually the home of Pat and Camille Foster. The Times reporter admires the courthouse complex, describing the buildings as “three charming, cabin-sized brick structures on either side of the jewelbox courthouse and all of them adjacent to the jail which looks more like a comfortable old manor house than a place of incarceration.” He also notes that “first Washingtonians take perverse pleasure in reminding you that these same buildings, at their inception, sent the county government down the same primrose path of deficit financing as the second Washington when the county had to borrow $100 to pay for the bell in the courthouse steeple.” Applause For The Inn The bottom half of the travel section’s front page is devoted to The Inn at Little Washington. Food critic Marian Burros, formerly with The Washington Post, notes that chef Patrick O’Connell has “glamorous settings for his nightly productions, a jewel of a country inn in a town so steeped in history that all of it has been designated as an historic district.” She finds the food at The Inn to be “on a par with New York’s best restaurants and more innovative than most of them,” noting that O’Connell “expends considerable energy seeking out local products and using them in novatively.” Burros adds that the chef, in creating his “nouvelle Rappahannock cuisine,” puts together “unexpected combinations of ingredients that work.” Of The Inn itself, she says: “The same attention to care and detail that has been lavished on the food has been expended on turning what was once a dance hallbasketball court-town meeting- room-garage into a warm and inviting space” with "the air of a grand English country house.” (Those interested in reading the New York Times articles in full will find a copy at the Rappahannock County Library.)

Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim, Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown. And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung. Sir Walter Scott The American Flag When Freedom, from her mountain height. Unfurled her standard to the air. She tore the azure robe of night. And set the stars of glory there! She mingled with its gorgeous dyes The milky baldric of the skies, And striped its pure, celestial white With streakings of the morning light Then, from his mansion in the sun, She called her eagle-bearer down. And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land! Majestic monarch of the cloud! Who rear'st aloft thy regal form, To hear the tempest-trumpings loud, And see the lightning lances driven, When strive the warriors of the storm, And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven,— Child of the Sun! to thee’t is given To guard the banner of the free. To hover in the sulphur smoke. To ward away the battle-stroke, And bid its blendings shine afar, Like rainbows on the cloud of war, The harbingers of victory! Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high! When speaks the signal-trumpet tone. And the long line comes gleaming on, Ere yet the life-blood, warm and w'et. Has dimmed the glistening bayonet, Each soldier’s eye shall brightly turn To where thy sky-born glories burn, And, as his springing steps advance, Catch war and vengeance from the glance. And when the cannon-mouthings loud Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud, And gory sabres rise and fall Like shoots of flame on midnight’s pall, Then shall thy meteor glances glow, And cowering foes shall shrink beneath Each gallant arm that strikes below That lovely messenger of death. Flag of the seas! on ocean wave Thy stars shall glitter o’er the brave; When death, careering on the gale, Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail. And frighted waves rush wildly back Before the broadside’s reeling rack, Each dying wanderer of the sea Shall look at once to heaven and thee. And smile to see thy splendors fly In triumph o’er his closing eye. Flag of the free heart’s hope and home, By angel hands to valor given, Thy stars have lit the welkin dome. And all thy hues were born in heaven. Forever float that standard sheet! Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedom’s soil beneath our feet, And Freedom’s banner streaming o’er us! Joseph Rodman Drake —Courtesy Richard Pierson This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 7YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The Bicentennial Bugle noted that a busy day was planned for the Fourth: “The Bugle’s Blast, this time should leave all buglers as well as the bugler, breathless, because this heralded event is the Bicentennial Biggie — July 4 — Declaration Day. "So Rappahannock, as its county seat, i§ getting ready for a day of memorable events. Mrs. Dorothy Davis, chairman of the county’s yearlong celebration and Captain Howard Holschuh, chairman of this July 4th gala, have planned a program beginning about noon (after the usual Sunday church services are over) and continuing, fullpacked, until 6 or so.*’ “Although the detailed menu of the afternoon happenings will appear in the July 1 issue of the News it is the Bugler’s business, and a bonus to boot, to blow a few anticipatory blurtsherewith. Most of the doings in Washington will be on Gay Street (where else? Pity the communities that lack such a setting), but there are diversions elsewhere as well.” Over a great deal of protest, the supervisors set the tax rate at $4.00, a 40 percent increase over the previous year. Fanners appeared before the board to say that rising taxes were forcing the small farmer out of business. The fourth of July went off as planned, with jousting, folk music, a cake decorating contest, crafts, and movies in addition to the regular events. The Highway Safety Division issued a reminder to all Virginia drivers that the Right-Turn-On-Red law, passed by the 1976 session of the General Assembly, did not go into effect until January 1, 1977.

Since then. I’ve been fighting for a federal law controlling handguns and I've seen a lot of hostility, anger and even ugliness from the other side. But recently. I’ve seen the worst yet. I’ve seen the National Rifle Association (NRAJ come out in opposition to a ban on a type of ammunition: a bullet that has only one real use—to kill police officers. Technically, these bullets are known as armorpiercing ammunition; realistically, they are cop-killers. Developed 12 years ago, these Teflon-coated bullets were intended to help police stop criminals fleeing in cars. But they proved too powerful. They went right through the cars, endangering bystanders. Soon, the police stopped using them. The manufacturers kept making them and they were discovered by the most vicious element of the criminal class, especially the drug dealers. The criminals needed something to counter the effectiveness of the vests that police officers have been wearing in increasing num bers since the mid-1970s (and which saved over 400 lives from 1976 to 1981). The vests proved so effective against conventional ammunition that spouses and children gave them as Christmas presents. Even President Reagan wears one ever since he was shot by John Hinckley. The President’s vest would have done him no good against a cop-killer bullet. In a recent police test, a vest was folded over twice and then shot with an armor-piercing .38. The bullet pierced the vest—and two and a half big city phone books! We at Handgun Control, Inc., join the police chiefs of Amenta and all other law enforcement officials whose troops stand in the front line against these bullets in calling for a ban on armor-piercing handgun bullets. And the responsible manufacturers are with us; they have stopped making the bullets. But KTW, which makes the most popular version, thinks it is enough to stamp the boxes: “For Police Use Only.” I think that’s reprehensible. But I think the stand of the NRA is even worse. Despite its oh-so-cosmetic national advertising campaign designed to show its members as “just plain folks” behind the scenes, the NRA, under its militant leaders, is surpassing its old tricks. It opposes a ban on these bullets. Eight1 states now have laws against these bullets and at least seven more are working on them. Legislation to outlaw the bullets has already been passed in California. But clearly, federal legislation is needed to stop the threat. There is a bill in the Congress, sponsored by Sen. Daniel Moynihan and Rep. Mario Biaggi (a former policeman who was wounded ten times) that would work. The Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act (S. 555 & H.R. 953) would outlaw armor-piercing handgun bullets. Already, 13 Senators and 14(5 Representatives are cosponsoring the Movnihan-Biaggi bill. Soft body armor cannot stop these bullets. But our elected representatives can. Write them of your support for this legislation. N. T. “PETE" SHIELDS Washington, D. C.

In the case of merit pay for teachers, however, Virginia could find herself in the unaccustomed position of marching in the vanguard of those supporting an increasingly popular initiative. She could, that is, if Gov. Chuck Robb and Secretary of Education John Casteen have their way. This initiative would supplement the present method of basing teachers’ pay solely on seniority, and allow salary increases based on the quality of the individual teacher’s professional performance. It would also create the position or rank of “master teacher.” A master teacher would not only receive more money, but would have added responsibilities in such fields as course development, curricula planning and the counseling of less experienced colleagues. The concept has been warmly embraced by the governor, u is entirely separate from his target of a 10 percent pay increase for all teachers in each rank of the 1984-86 budget period. Robb points out, with considerable logic, that in virtually all other professions the members who excell receive added compensation for their good work. The teacher, however, is stuck with the seniority system. The dedicated instructor is paid no more than the incompetent deadhead who merely puts in hours and keeps the kids reasonably quiet. The governor believes there has to be a better way. He plans to ask the General Assembly for $500,000 in the 1984-86 biennium to fund a pilot project in perhaps three school divisions to see if the merit pay and master teacher plan can bring about needed improvement. The timing of his request could scarcely be better. It comes on the heels of the dismal report on the quality of education in America by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. The report, titled A Nation At Risk, concludes that our schools are being engulfed in “a tide of mediocrity,” and that the quality of our public instruction has deteriorated to the point that it might pose a threat to our survival as a nation. To Robb’s credit, his expressions of alarm over the condition of the state’s school system pre-date the commission’s report by more than a year. He first raised the subject in his inaugural address in January 1982. But the commission’s report has catapulted the issue. at least for the moment, to the forefront of the national agenda. President Reagan has seized upon it. A year ago he was about to abolish the Department of Education, and then suddenly “quality of education" emerged as an issue with undeniable electoral “sex appeal. Indeed, it might be called the political equivalent of Bo Derek. The president has energetically climbed on the merit pay and master teacher bandwagon. There are, to be sure, problems which must be solved and questions which must be answered about the proposals. The National Education Association and, to a less extent, the American Federation of Teachers worry that merit pay will create divisiveness and rivalries within the profession. Civil liberties groups are concerned that it may open new and subtle avenues of discrimination against minority teachers. Then too, there are the very practical problems of how, and by whom, the master teachers will be designated and the merit pay increases awarded. And there is the ever present question of how fairness will be assured as these processes are implemented. Besides all this, it must be remembered that this is a novel idea. In Virginia novel ideas are seen by many legislators as, almost by definition, potential political booby traps to be avoided at all costs. At the very least, Robb and Casteen have a major selling job on their hands in order to get the pilot project through the General Assembly. But the bottom line objective, to use an overworked phrase, is to improve the quality of our public instruction. Robb strongly believes that with teaching, as with other facets of our free-enterprise system, the key to excellence in job performance is incentive. Beyond that, he believes that the key to a strong education system is the development of teachers who excell. The theory is, without doubt, sound. The pilot program would test whether or not the results will match the theory. The General Assembly should approve the Robb proposal. If it does, we may just possibly have the long overdue experience of seeing, as in the ancient days, the other states following Virginia’s lead on a vitally important public policy initiative.

Day realtor YOUR RIGHTS AS MORTGAGOR When you buy a home and take out a mortgage on it you become, in real estate parlance, " the •* mortgagor. As such, you are obliged to repay that mortgage over a period of time. Most everyone knows this, but people often wonder EXACTLY what rights they have as mortgagor.. It boils down to the simple, basic question of who owns the property. Do you as the person (or persons, if there’s a family) who lives there and pays th * payments own it? Or does the mortgagee (the money lender) own it? You, the mortgagor are generally considered the real owner of the property. You also have certain recognized, important rights. One of these rights is possession If (you’re living there). You also have the right to sell the property, subject, of course, to the terms of the mortgage. You can lease your place too, if you want to, and collect the rents. Getting back to selling your property, it is usually not necessary to get an OK from the lender (unless a mortgage takeover is involved) because the mortgage note will be paid off in full at the time of the closing.

Thunderstorms raged over Warrenton and Middleburg, but at Old Tavern where Great Meadow lies, there were only brief sprinkles as five sets of riders galloped over the three courses, their progress being broadcast by Steve Groat, coordinator of design. First to go were children on ponies—the future steeplechase riders—and what was to have been an easy canter around the course became a race, with sibling rivalry and high spirits showing. Three Fenwick children, Charles III, Beth and Emily, were joined by Tom Arundel and Virginia Fout. Joe Aitcheson, all-time leading steeplechase jockey, and Charlie' Fenwick, Maryland Hunt Cup and Aintree winner, led the second set of veteran riders. Going with them were perennial point-to-point champion Randy Rouse. William “Mike” duPont and Arthur W. “Nick” Arundel. They also put on a good show, with Mr. Rouse’s Cinzano trying to run off, while they galloped the timber course, passing between blue and white flags marking where timber fences will be built. Next was a set of contemporary jump jockeys, Charles Fleischmann, David Semmes, John Coles, David Moyes, Larry LeHew, Joey Gillet and Ted Stettinius, who tested the brush course, w here red and w hite flaps indicated future hurdles. They were followed by lady riders Anne Fenwick, Nina Pout and Wendy Arundel, led bv former leading lady steeplechase jockey Joey Ruhsarn, as they galloped over the short timber course. Finally the family set of Arundel^ (Sally, John and Tom accompanied by their father) and Fenwicks (Charlie and Ann with their three children) made the last test. Little Charles finished first. Afterwards the riders conferred with designers of the course to voice their opinions. They were unanimous in saying that the final turn was too sharp. Other comments were that the first turn was also too tight, and that one of the timber fences would be too close to a turn for a good approach. Roth Charlie Fenwick and Charles Fleischmann suggested that because the Meadow is so large, it would be possible to go farther out across the stream, making the course longer and thus easing the turns. “Then it would be possible to finish over two fences in the stretch, making for a more exciting race," said Fenwick. “After you have made the changes, let us come back and gallop again,” he added. “We’ll go at speed. That’s the only way to learn how a course really rides.” Comments from riders and spectators alike were high in praise of the beauty of Great Meadow , the panoramic view of the whole course and the unbelievable turf. That such a transformation from a weed and rock HUNDREDS OF HORSEMEN gathered at Great Meadow on June IK for a test gallop on the future Virginia Gold Cup eourse. infested field—much of it a swamp—to a luxurious green meadow containing a gracefully shaped pond in less than a year was a source of constant amazement. Owner and creator of Great Meadow, Mr. Arundel, a journalist and former amateur steeplechase rider, spoke briefly to quests assembled under the striped tent. He thanked all who had contributed to the transformation and mentioned the future uses of Great Meadow—not only for the Virginia Gold Gup beginning in May of 1985, but also for other races, shows, com bined training events and pony dub activities, ex |K‘eted to occur about once a month.

In girls’ basketball, Sperrvviile owned exclusive bragging rights from 1932 until 1959—except for one year. According to an old clipping from the Rappahannock News, on January 26, 1945, the single Washington victory came on January 26, 1945, when Cook, Wharton and Miller combined for 27 point the total for the PantfT' ers—to edge Sperryville by three.

Fox Hunting Dominated County Sport For Years “You live with the hounds, you hunt with them, it gets in your blood. . . Fox hunting is a disease. Once you get it, you never get over it. You can quit but you never get over it.” Jack Bruce has lived and hunted with fox hounds for more than a half-century. He has the disease. "There’s no sport in the world like it. There just isn’t any sport that can compare with it. But only a fox hunter will say that!” he acknowledged, chuckling. At 74 years old, he still looks like he can ride a horse for eight hours over Rappahannock’s mountains, down into the hollows and back up again on the trail of a crafty fox. Compact and wiry, he has the suntanned, weathered complexion of an outdoorsman and the rolling, rhythmic walk of a horseman. ■Jack Bruce is a dog man, a master of hounds who has spent most of his life tearing hell bent for leather after a singing pack. For all except a few years of that time he hasn’t belonged to the pink coat-ratcatchervelvet hard-hat school of fox hunting. There was no Rappahannock Hunt when Jack first hit the trail of the fox. Fox hunting was sport and recreation for anyone who had a horse good enough to follow the hounds. “Everybody around here owned a hound or two. I’d take my two, go to any mountain and start blowing my horn. A couple of hounds would come this way, a couple would come that way and before you knew it, you’d have a pack with you.” And they weren’t mixed breed mutts. They were American fox hounds. Back in the 1920s and ’80s, “a real good fox hound could be had in Rappahannock County for $10, $15," Jack said. “Burrell Frank Bywaters, near Amissville, he was one of the best breeders in the world. He furnished hounds for all parts of America." $5 A Pair Jack’s first hounds had some of that By waters blue blood. “I bought two red female puppies — Virginia bred — from Oscar Payne. They were born the tenth day of March when I was 17 years old. Paid $5 for the pair at weaning time. Mr. Brooke Miller’s Hags was the sire — he was Bywaters’ stock — and Oscar Payne’s Brownie was the mother. . Jack’s half century of fox hunting began before he carried those two little red puppies home. "I had hunted with Mr. Brooke Miller, Joe Johnson and Jack Sisk. My grandfather bought me a strawberry roan |)<>ny when I was eight years old. On Sunday, if my mother would let me slip away, if she didn’t make me go to Sunday School and church — and that didn’t happen to too often — I’d go fox huntin', riding that pony." After a year or two of riding with his pair of red hounds and blowing his horn to call up a few more from neighboring farms. Jack stalled buying dogs to build a pack of his own. “My father and my grandfather were great fox hunters. They knew hounds and it just came on down to me, I guess," Jack said, recalling his start as an owner-breeder. “I knew the breeding of hounds just as well as I know the way from Sperrvville to Washington. I’d lived with it all of my life.” He hunted four, five, six days a week, sometimes alone but more often with his great friend and hunting buddy, B, Lyle Miller, Jr. “Where the hounds went, we went. Over fences, over ditches, up mountains, down mountains. That’s what it takes to make good fox hounds. You've got to follow them.” Not that they always caught foxes. "But we hunted so often, we’d catch quite a few,” Jack noted. One dog in particular w orked wonders for Jack’s fox hunting fortunes. “That was the Countess. Now, there were quite a few hounds named Countess in these parts. They were descended from Charlie Eastham’s Countess, one of the first hounds ever bred. My Countess I bought from Roxie Clater in Sperrvville for $35 in 1926. She was seven years old and the best hound I ever saw in my life when a fox was broken down and tired so he just couldn’t run any more. He ducks and turns and twists, this way and that way. And wherever that fox put his foot, that’s where Countess went. She started me catching foxes.” When word got around of the hunting sport a rider could find behind Bruce’s hounds, they started coming from the four corners of the county for the chases that began Sundav mornings from Gid Brown Hollow. If Jack and Bee had denned a fox during the week, they’d dig him out, bag him and carry him back to Jack’s. Then on Sunday mornings, before the assembled crowd of riders from Washington, Woodville and Sperrvville, they’d loose the fox. He'd head up the mountain and the hunt would begin. For those early years. Jack has no record but his memory. Later, in the 1944-45 hunting season, he began keeping a ledger. In neat and careful script, it tells the story of past hunts. It gives the date, who was riding, the path the hunt followed and if the hounds and riders got their quarry. Bee’s and Jack’s names figure in most, especially the hunts that ended with a kill. There were 28 of those in 1944, 15 in ’45, 18 in '46 and 16 in ’47. Today’s organized hunts are lucky if they get one oi- two foxes in a season. It wasn't that Jack pushed his hounds. “I never shot at a fox in my life,” he swears. "I never tried to make the hounds catch a fox. It was the hounds that wouldn’t give up. Fox hunting was in their blood, too.” Bred Right Fox hounds are not trained. At least, Bruce’s weren't. "If they’re bred right, they train themselves." Jack maintained. Over the years. Jack has kept meticulous records on the family trees of his hounds. He’s always been ready to snap up a good dog with blood lines that go back to Burrell Frank Bvwaters’ pack or Charlie Eastham’s Countess or Mr. Brooke Miller’s Rags. "Now, that was a great hound. We’d been chasing a fox for hours and he ducked into Mr.. Rudacill’s garden. 01’ Rags went round and round and round that garden, trying to find a way in to that fox. There wasn’t one. So Rags just reached up and grabbed a piece of that fence in his jaws and ripped it off. Then he went in and killed that fox.” But there’s more to picking a good hound than knowing bloodlines. “Dogs are like people. Sometimes, you can just look at a man and know if he’s got any sense. It’s the same way with dogs.” Jack tells a story of the time Wade H. Massie decided he wanted some new hounds. Jack had agreed to take one of his good bitches over to Rapidan to breed her to Ennis Jenkins’ Top, the best hound sire in the area at that time with ancestry going back to the Bywaters’ lines. The get of the match was to go to Massie. At Rapidan, the two Rappahannock men took a look at Jenkins’ kennels of 25 to 30 fox hounds. “Wade asked him, ‘What’s the best hound you’ve got?’ ” Bruce recalled. Before Jenkins could answer, Jack had made his selection, a white bitch with tan ears. . . "You hit the nail right on the head!” he recalls Jenkins “Fox Hunting Gets In Your Blood. You May Give It Up But You Never Lose It.” Above, a group of oldtime Rappahannock fox hunters, horses and hounds. Above right, Jack Bruce with his nephew on Pedro, who with War Sir was one of the two best hunters Bruce ever rode. Right - Riding was worked into the social life of a horse oriented county long before Bruce's time. In 1882 the gentlemen of Washington and vicinity issued an invitation for a day of riding, a tournament, picnic and dance. agreeing with the choice. "I might have tried that 40 other times with no luck but that time. I did it. She was intelligent looking, had a good head and good eyes.” Looks, breeding — they are indicators that point toward the good hound. “But you can’t really tell until you try one. Sometimes, it's the little scrawny one, the runt of the litter, that makes the best hunter. It may take a whole season before you can tell.” Foxy Traits Jack has come to know the wild creatures that his hounds have followed for some 50 years. Red foxes will run clear out of the county; gray foxes stay in their home territory. A red fox will shinny up a tree to escape his pursuers; a gray fox never climbs. “Red foxes will get the mange and it will practically wipe them out. The old name for it is the itch. But after they die out. they eventually come back,” Jack added. “The gray fox gets distemper. You can vaccinate a dog against it; you can't vaccinate a fox. There’s been some of it around here. Gray foxes have gotten mighty scarce. But they’ll come back too.” Wise in the ways of foxes, a storehouse of information on fox hounds. Jack Bruce also knows horses. He believes that the quality mounts have carried riders after hounds. Fifty years ago, prime hunting territory ran along both sides of Route 522 between Sperryville and Woodvilie. Some of the best cover lay on property owned by William Meade Fletcher. “If you had a horse that could get through that, vou had one extraordinary animal. Joe Johnson was the hardest, guttiest rider in a bunch that would try almost any fence. I’d follow him. 1 was young. I didn’t know any better,” Jack laughed. "Sometimes I’d hit the ground on the other side. But I went. You could cripple your horse and you could cripple yourself but riding after a fox, that was how you made hounds — and horses." Those rides, those wonderful wild rides when practically the entire county was open to mounted hunters and their dogs in search of the elusive fox. Jack remembers those chases ol. 30, JO and 50 years ago as if they happened yesterdSy? There was a brazen red fox that farm workers had seen repeatedly, strolling aroifftd JadiHWiller’s- barn yard as if he owned the place. "It was the dead of winter. the middle of hunting season. Bunny and I decided to meet there one monring. We watched them gathering up and gathering up, throwing their tonges and trailing. Then the fox shot out, just like you’d poured him out of a bag in front of the hounds.

The hounds were on Aaron’s Mountain, heading in the direction of Battle Mountain. Our horses were hot, some kind of hot. We’d ridden hard for a couple of miles. I didn’t know where the fox was going ’cause red foxes would go out of the county at that time. We were heading for Aaron's Mountain and here come the hounds! They were heading right straight to us just a quarter mile behind the fox. We fell in behind them and back to Mt. Salem Church we went. The hounds were just fly in’ and we’re right after them." They galloped across the farm fields headed back to town. "I thought that fox was going to Jack Miller’s bam lot. And that s where he went. We had run that fox for two hours or more. "Henry Timbers had heard the hounds when we started off,” Jack said. Timbers saddled up his mount and took off after the pack. “When we rode up on one side of the barn lot at the end of that ride, Henry rode up on the other,” he added.

The Blue Ridge Music Festival Brought Hundreds To Avon Mills In 1951, a small group of people led by Commonwealth’s attorney George Davis worked tirelessly through the spring and summer to bring an unusual summer event to Rappahannock County. The Blue Ridge Musical Festival Association wanted to sponsor concerts in the country, hoping that Rappahannock would grow into the summer home for the Virginia Orchestra and provide music instruction to local children as well. The association patterned its structure and goals after Tanglewood in New England. It offered both membership and attendance at three concerts for $3.00. The effort was more than county-wide. Committees were set up in Luray, Front Royal, Culpeper and Warrenton as well as Rappahannock. The aim, stated in the association’s literature, was “to establish a permanent summer music colony at Washington for professionals and amateurs alike.” The spot they chose for the series was Avon Mill, building a stage where the mill wheel had been, and clearing an ampitheatre all the way to the river. George Davis, who had the original idea, took his vacation from the county’s business to work full-time on the project. “He was busy from morning to night,” remembers Dorothy Davis. “He and others cleared the undergrowth all the way down to the river. In April, he had seeded the entire area with grass so that the audience had a grassy lawn to sit on.” Amazing energy went into the project. Hundreds of letters were sent out explaining the association’s goals and describing the attractions of Rappahannock County and the first Washington. “The setting is attractive,” the letter stated. It went on to describe local lodgings: Mrs. D.C. Updike; Mrs. Taylor Updike; Mrs. J.M. Lillard; Mrs. Barton Brown; Mrs. D.D. Miller; Mrs. Louise Price; Mrs. Ruth Merrill; Mrs. W.F. Moffett. Restaurants were described and prices given: the Washington Cafe, with breakfast and lunch for 50 cents and supper for $1.00; the Washington House restaurant with slightly higher prices; and the Lee Highway Motel, no prices given. “At that time, every other home took in tourists,” explained Mrs. Davis. “The musicians loved it. It gave them a chance to spend the day in the country. There were wonderful meals - ham and fried chicken and homemade pie.” The people loved it too. Over six hundred attended, according to Marjorie Horne Warren, a Culpeper music teacher w ho reviewed the concerts: “As the conductor, William Haaker, raised his baton for the opening number, the rain came down and continued through to the end of Mozart’s “Overture to Marriage of Figaro.” For its acoustical effects and the scenic beautv of the old mill site, the “Music Festival" could not have found a better setting.” Mrs. Warren was talking about the second concert in the series, held August 12. Other concerts were held August 19 and August 26. There was a night-time performance as well, where William Haaker played selections for the pitfno, including his own composition Soliloquy on Complete Understanding. Mrs. Davis remembers that L.B. Merrill served as the stage manager and D.D. Miller as Coordinator. The three-week series added to the enjoyment of life in Washington as well as to its economy. “It was such an occasion,” she said. “Of course, it was over thirty years ago. . . it’s funny the things you remember. FoV one concert, I had on a real silk dress. Well, a grasshopper jumped on me and I was afraid to grab him for fear he’d spit tobacco juice on my dress. I just let him be and by the end of the concert, he’d chewed a hole right through my dress.” There were so many people that the concert’s organizers were running around looking for more chairs, apple crates, anything for folks to sit on. The orchestra alone was fifty-five pieces, and most of the musicians lived in the community for their month of concerts, so the town’s population was significantly increased and local social life affected. Although everyone agreed that the summer series was a tremendous artistic and cultural success, Mrs. Davis said that the logistics were far too overwhelming to develop the Blue Ridge Music Festival into a summer musicians’ colony as originally planned. Horse Shows Held At Snead’s Farm One popular form of entertainment for county youngsters was the 4-H horse shows held at the horse ring at the Snead’s farm in Washington. Bill Lyne, who was county agent at the time, said that the first horse in the state to jump six feet was entered in a Rappahannock show. Before the 4-H shows, there was a Rappahannock Horse Show, chaired by Arthur Miller. After the event, there were always dances at the school in Washington, remembers Mary Botts Quaintance. The county fair also used the horse ring at the Snead farm, according to Mrs. Quaintance. In those years when Rappahannock had its own county fair, the livestock was exhibited at the Snead farm and the canned goods and home economic entries were set up at the school auditorium. “They used what they had and had fun doing it.” “There was many a night we’d dance all night.” Horse Shows Were Held at the ring at Snead’s Farm in Washington. Courtesy Rayner Snead ENTERING HORSES and riders in the county horse show were Ruth Baum gardner and Lois Snead. Celebrating The Fourth THE MOST FAMOUS county entertainment held in Rappahannock is the Fourth of July celebration in Washington. Once again, the Patowmack An dents will lead the grand march at Avon Hall to start off the patriotic program that begins at 5:30 p.m. Notes On Flaying Music... “Lots of young int'ii played music. There was a man named Allie Alther who played the violin. And everyone said he could imitate a mockingbird with that violin. "They told the story that he would play until the cat jumped up on the violin." —Mary Botts Quaintance Notes On County Entertainment On Dancing... "We had dances all the time, even in horse and huRK>' days." remembers Mrs. Mary Butts Quaintance. "These were the days of the bin jazz hands. We'd no anywhere to a dance - to Culpe|>er, I.uray.

We went with our parents there were all anes there. ' On Hiking... There was a Rappahannock Hiking Club active in the 'sixties, taking organized out inns to such places as Devils’ Stairs and Stony Man.

Fox Hunting Was County Sport (Continued from Page S) Day-Long Chase “Eight hours by the clock is the longest I was ever after a fox — and we got him. I’d started my hounds up Jenkins Mountain and I saw a red fox further up ahead. He got up, stretch himself and started up the mountain. I never said anything to the hounds. They were headed that way. I knew they’d pick up his scent and they did. They ran that red fox from one end of the mountain to the other and then over to Harris Hollow. They weren’t running real hard but they stayed right after him.” Eight hours later, the fox went to earth in a groundhog and rock pile near Promised Land Baptist Church. “It was 4 in the afternoon. I got several pieces of rail fence and pushed them real tight into the rock pile. A red fox will scratch out in dirt but this was in rock. I thought I had that old fox stopped up for the night. I told Bee to meet me there at daylight and we’d dig him out.” Jack was 100 yards from the rock pile with his hounds as the sun came up when the pack broke loose just like they’d seen a fox. “Why that son-of-a-gun had just gotten out. They headed up Jenkins Mountain. I yelled to Bee, ‘Too late, he just got away’ when I heard a noise like a sneeze. I stopped to listen and 1 heard it again,” Jack said, demonstrating that “achoo” that had caught his attention. “I walked a little closer to the rock pile and there was this red fox. He had clawed, gnawed and scratched until he was wedged in so tight, he couldn’t go backwards or forwards. I loosened some of the rails so he could move a little bit and put a piece of rail on his head. Then I got my hand on his neck right behind the ears and pulled him out. There he was, not hurt a bit, a big, beautiful red.” Popped into a bag and freed for the Sunday hunt, the fox led the pack back up the mountain just a few days later. Thinking Like A Fox Fox hunters often have to put themselves into the role of a fox, anticipating what the animal will do next if the chase is to be a success. “Bee and I jumped a fox on Pickle Mountain, behind where Col. McNear lives now. He took off north and went to the foot of the Blue Ridge. The hounds were gone for 3'/i hours but I knew they were going to come back because I had run this fox before,” Jack said. “And he did. He crossed the highway and went to Turkey Mountain and when we got there, the hounds were pulling Red Oak Mountain, singing like a bunch of guineas cackling. I felt sure the fox was going to come back so we sat on the hill for two hours, maybe longer, waiting. We’d started to get tired and were thinking 'bout heading home and directly, Bee said, ‘I hear hounds!’ They were coming round the Woodville end of Red Oak and they were still sounding like they were real close to the fox. “They went on to Rock Mills and crossed the river. Bee and I were right with them, in sight. We came up on what is the Shade Farm now and headed back toward Pickle Mountain. We’d been after that fox for at least six hours. Then just like that,” Jack recalled, slapping his hands together sharply, “every hound hushed tongue. I knew he’d gone to ground.” Jimmy Starks had joined Bee and Jack by that time. The three had ridden some up the hillside a little way when a couple of the hounds started barking again. “They were the tree dogs, the ones that give tongue when the fox has gone into a den or up a tree,” Jack explained. The riders came upon the foundation of an old house with basement and rock walls still standing. There was a groundhog hole under the rock wall that they guessed the fox had used for a bolt hole. They cut a trench across the four-foot deep tunnel. “I knew there was a fox in there. But it was close quarters so Bee handed me Bugle, my little black and tan bitch, and I put her in the hole to make sure. Boy, she just shot! I grabbed her hind legs and pulled her back out.” Jack fashioned a twitch out of a tree branch, stuck that in the hole, managed to work it around the fox’s neck and pulled him out, head first. “1 got a foot on his head and reached down for his hind legs. When I stood up with the fox, I could barely get my elbows to the top of the trench. There was no way I could climb out. So Bee took hold of one side and Jimmy on the other and they lifted me out of that hole with the red fox in my hands.” News spread around the county that Jack Bruce’s hounds caught foxes and he was often invited to bring the pack for a visit and two or three days of hunting. "I didn’t have a truck in those days but I’d take the back seat out of my car, put a tarp in and then start throwing in hounds, eight, ten, twelve, until I couldn’t fit anymore. One of those hunting expeditions was to Black Rock Farms near Flint Hill, -I F. Keyser's place. The Baptist preacher, Harris B. Chelf, was always a member of the hunting party from Black Rock. “He loved to fox hunt. He chewed tobacco but he was a good preacher, too,” Jack recalled. On one of those rides, after a morning of scouring the countryside without finding a scent, the men on horseback, 10 or 12 of them, stopped at the Klkins family farm. It was around lunch time and they had paused a few minutes for rest and a drink of water when Mrs. Elkins came out of the kitchen with a huge basket, filled to the top with homemade biscuits stuffed with big cakes of sausage. “It was the best sausage I ever ate in my life. That’s the way people treated you about fox hunting 20 years ago,” Jack said. Those clays of hospitality to fox hunters, of eight hour chases after a wiley critter are a tiling of the past. Today in Rappahannock, there are a dozen deer for every fox. “And you can’t keep the dogs from run nin' them. If a dog will run anything, it will run a deer,".Jack complained. Today, the newcomers own much of the land that once was hunt territory and they don’t put out the welcome mat for any hunters, even mounted hunters alter foxes. Today, the old timers who relished the spoil, the oldest sport of all, no longer can keep up the pace-. “You’ll never hear fox races like \\e used to have, .Jack bemoaned. “ I he hounds always sounded better in cover than in the- open, they threw their tongues so much more. I never heard two dogs that sounded alike. The notes arc- altogether different. And if they’re running a fox, that’s different than a dog barking in the kennel. The sound gets in your blood,” the old hound master repeated. “It’s the greatest music of all.”

Bain Heads MS Drive Mrs. Mary Bain of Washington will head up the local Hope Chest appeal to raise funds for the fight against MS (multiple sclerosis) for the Blue Ridge Chapter, MS Society. Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease affecting the brain and spinal cord. It is not contagious nor is it a mental disease. It has been called the “mysterious crippler of young adults” because it is usually first diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. Technically, the disease attacks the myelin sheating of the central nervous system, destroying it in patches. The myelin sheath acts much like the insulation around telephone wires and when it is destroyed, the flow of nerve impulses to c and from the brain is interrupted or distorted. Vision, hearing, balance, coordination and speech may be affected. Mrs. Bain will be looking for volunteers to canvas the neighborhood. Anyone willing to help can volunteer by calling 987-8656.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Beekeepers Request Prudent Gardening Practices “Beekeepers are in trouble and need to ask for your help,” says the letter from the Southern States Beekeepers Federation to newspapers throughout its area. “Every year our bees are killed by people who either don’t know how to apply insecticides or don’t care what insects they kill (the only good bug is a dead bug). The beekeepers’ mailing is intended to interest newspapers in educating the public on the importance of care in the use of pesticides on blooming vegetable plants. “Only 1% of all insects are harmful,” it says, “and with just a little care, insecticides can be applied safely, we believe bee kills cm be reduced and we can make more honey.” How much of a problem are pesticide bee kills in Rappahannock? “There’s a real awareness of the need to protect bees here because of the fruit growers,” said apiary inspector Bob Wellemyer. “Our problems are probably most likely to occur with the new’ gardener who is using pesticides on vegetable plants in bloom.” Wellemyer is with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, working from an office in Warrenton. His home is in the Gid Brown Hollow' in Rappahannock. He and quite a few Rappahannock residents raise bees for honey and as a hobby. There is also some sale of honey in the county. “Virginia, for some years, has been encouraging the use of integrated pest management (IPM) Wellemyer explained. “Because of the rapid spread of the Gypsy moth, there have been experiments on the state level w’ith wasps that act as parasites to the Gypsy moth catapillar! These and Gypsy Moth Sighted From now until midsummer, gypsy moth caterpillars are hatching from eggs that were deposited by the female last summer. To detect the crawling caterpillars, inspectors from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, are visiting sites where gypsy moth activity was reported in 1982 and placing burlap strips around the trunks of hardwood trees. Inspectors will check under the burlap bands twice weekly for gypsy moth caterpillars. According to plant pest officials, the newly-hatched caterpillars feed during the daytime but as they grow, their feeding habits change and they begin to feed on the tree’s leaves at night. During the day, they crawl down the trunk to see protected places which are conveniently provided by the burlap bands and where they are easily detected. The purpose of early detection is primarily to pin-point the size and severity of the infestation, although caterpillars that are found will be destroyed. The gypsy moth caterpillar season is from late April to early July. They eventually reach a length of 2-3 inches in late June to early July and are recognized by the pairs of red and blue spots on their back. They are voracious eaters. Persons who find these caterpillars on their property should immediately contact the nearest VDACS Plant Pest Control Section Office, the county forester, or the local Virginia Tech extension agent. other useful insects are wiped out by the indiscriminate use of poisons, so the state is trying to promote prevention aimed at specific insects. The bees obviously benefit from this approach. ” One of the worst offenders is that garden standby, Sevin. “I’ve seen hives wiped out in a half-hour when a bee comes back with Sevin dust clinging to him,” Wellemyer said. He added that sprays like pyrethrum that kill on contact may seem more dangerous, but the dusts that make it back to the hive kill thousands rather than one bee. On the other hand, dust properly applied may not be a problem at all. “Gardeners should remember that the bee works only the flower,” Wellemyer said. “A good example is with com. Time after time, I’ve seen gardeners apply dust to the tassell, when what they’re after is the beetles in the leaves and the bugs and worms in the ears. All they’ve done by spraying or dusting the tassell in bloom is to kill any bee that comes by to gather pollen and perhaps his whole hive.” Wellemyer said that a mixture of biological controls, predatory insects and low-toxicity chemicals should provide enough control to satisfy even the fussiest gardener. There are other factors besides pesticides that make life hard for Rappahannock bees, Wellemyer noted. “We have some absentee farm owners here,” he said. “When the farm owner instructs his farm manager to maintain sterile (completely trimmed and mowed) fence rows, he destroys all the wild sources of honey. You’ll notice the old-time farmers have a variety of plants in their fence rows, providing cover for birds that eat insects, home for game birds, food for bees.” Wellemyer listed some steps for avoiding unnecessary bee kills (at right) and invited beekeepers or gardeners to call him if they have any questions. [votes t rom 1 he Extension Office By BIRGITT THORNHILL, Extension Agent, Agriculture Azalea leaf and flower gall. This is the most common disease of azaleas this month. The disease, which also occurs on rhododendron, is caused by the fungus Exobasidium vaccinii. The galls are also known as “pinkster apples” and are eaten by some. On azaleas the leaves become thick and fleshy; green at first and later white. On rhododendrons and some azaleas, the flowers will also be affected. Control: This disease will do little harm to the plant and can be controlled by handpicking. 4-H News: We have two boxes of items in the Extension Office that were picked up after the 4-H Cooperative Day Camp at the 4-H Center near Front Royal. If your child lost anything, please give us a call or come by. We will keep these items in the office for two weeks; at that time, they will be given to the Thrift Shop. Pressure Canner Test The pressure canner tester will be in the Rappahannock County Extension Office Wednesday, July 6, through Friday, July 8. If you would like to have your pressure canner tested, please bring it in to the office on one of these days. Summer Fly Control We have seen a drastic increase in the number of people concerned about summer fly control. In the early spring, observation would indicate that a fairly high percentage of beef cattle producers are using one of the fly tags impregnated with synthetic pyrethroids this year. It appears from testing that we have done that fly tags are extremely beneficial in controlling both horn and face flies. Many question^ have been asked relative ttf how many fly tags should put on cows and calves, and whether one tag should be put on the cow and one of the calf or two tags on the cow. Experience to date indicates that the company recommendations of a tag in each ear on the cow and no tags on the suckling calves probably do the best job. On yearling stocker cattle, where face flies are a problem, a tag in each ear should be used. There are several other methods of fly control which, indeed, work quite well, including backrubbers, various devices that attach to salt and mineral feeders, and, of course, dust bags and sprays. This year for the first time, synthetic pyrethroids such as Fenvalorate are cleared for use in backrubbers and face mops, which you may want to check on. In any event, if you have done nothing to control flies, you still have time to get the job done by beginning some kind of treatment or eartagging now. WARRENTON FOOT CLINIC Bruce J.

Identify what your pest problem is. Less than 19c of all the insects are harmful and IPM (Integrated Pest management) has proved that treating only the problem insects saves time & money. “• Tty fe find as many alternatives as possible. The world of insecticides is very complicated. Don't be afraid to ask for help from a variety of people; your Agricultural Extension Agent, a neighbor who gardens, a local garden club, an IPM advisor, local beekeepers, your state university (Ag. School) or even a local farm supply dealer. 3. If you must use an insecticide, please use the lowest effective dosage and make a minimum of applications. STAY AWAY FROM DUST—USE SPRAYS OR GRANULES. 4. Never spray any insecticide on blooming flowers even if they are in the grass or weeds. 5. Spray late in the afternoon after the bees have stopped working. 6. If you must do a general pesticide spraying, let your neighboring beekeepers know at least two days ahead of time. The beekeeper then may take precautions, moving his hives, setting up pollen traps or draping his colonies. Call the extension office for advice, or call him at his Warrenton office, Wellemyer suggests. ’Ml1 NYmore after 5.

Rappahannock County School News Are Our Schools Good Enough? (Continued from Page 1) public perception that something is seriously remiss in our educational system.” Why do Americans fear doth generally and specifically, that something is u rung with our schools? Are these tears well-founded? If Kappahannock is any indication. education is a troubling topic these days: in the only two contested supervisors races, county schools are a major, if not the major issue. Needing something more concrete than the general feeling that “something’s wrong”, the commission was charged with these duties: • To assess the quality of teaching and learning in public and private schools, colleges, anti universities; • To compare American schools and colleges with those of other advanced nations; • To study the relationship between college admissions requirements and student achievement in high school; • To identify programs contributing to success in college; DONT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS...

To discharge its duties, the commission used both new and existing information. Members of the panel, (listed in detail in the report), commissioned more than sixty papers from experts in various educational fields and held countless hearings in all regions of the country. Any school system that wanted was invited to communicate with the group. As might be expected, most of the information gathered was from hearings in urban rather than rural locations, a bias that should not affect the findings or their application to Rappahannock. After 18 months of asking for and receiving information on curriculum, administration and student achievement, the commission looked over its mountain of paper and came up with its report. The results are disturbing, and, in many different forums have been published, criticized and rebutted. But even most of the report’s critics do agree that our educational standards are not what they once were: the evidence is just too damaging. Some, but not all of the statistics making up this alarming picture: • International testing - in nineteen academic tests completed ten years ago by students of industrialized nations, American children' never came in first or second and were last seven times. • Illiteracy - at least 23 million adults in this country are illiterate; at least thirteen percent of all 17-yearolds, up to 40 percent of minority youth are illiterate. • Neglect of gifted students - over half of them fail to match their tested ability with achievement in school. • College entrance exams- scores have dropped steadily since 1963, falling over 50 points in verbal and 40 points in math testing. • Eow skill levels - in 17 yeai ( is, these alarmin] facts - nearly 40 percent can not understand and answe logical questions from writ ten material; one fifth cai write a satisfactory essay one-third can solve a mat! problem having severa steps. In its findings, the com mission attempted to ex plain the reasons for oui national trend: • The proportion of stu dents changing from vocational and college preparatory programs tc “general” track increased from 12 percent in 1964 to 42 percent in 1979. • Students don’t choose the harder courses when it’s left up to them. Who takes: intermediate algebra — 31%; French I — 13%; geography — 16%; calculus — 6%. Twenty-five percent of the credits earned by general track high school students are in physical and health education, work experience, remedial English and mathematics and undemanding development courses like training for adulthood and mandate. • Homework had decreased and grades risen as achievement has declined - decreased expectations are responsible. • Other countries have children spending more time in school, more time studying at home, and more time in substantive courses, unlike here where cooking and driving may count as much toward a diploma as En glish, history or math. ? • Teachers are poorly paid, have little influence on " the administration, are not - qualified (in fully half of the 1 newly-employed math, science and English teachers) i to teach these subjects, are l required to spend a great deal of time on education courses, reducing time needed for mastery of their field. To correct some of these shortcomings, the commission recommended: A full load of requirements - 4 years of English, 3 years of math, 3 years of science, 3 years of social studies, Vi year of computer science, at least 2 years of a language at the high school level for those collegebound. A language should be started in Elementary School. Higher expectations - schools, colleges and universities should adopt more rigorous and measurable standards. More study time - more homework, a longer day, a longer year, more teaching ofs'udy skills. Teachers treated as professionals, an 11-month contract to ensure curriculum and professional development, salaries and responsibilities based on merit and tenure, supervision by “master teachers.” The commission further recommended that Americans insist that their elected officials provide the leadership necessary to provide these reforms. Eastham Tapped For Honor Society EAiwm ivi. t,astnam, IV, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin M. Eastham, III, of Huntly, was recently inducted into the Randolph-Macon Academy chapter of the Junior National Honor Society.

Cookbook Highlights Rappahannock County Traditions The popular Woman’s Club Cookbook, Traditions, on sale for several months locally, makes good reading for those interested in Rappahannock County as well as in cooking. This very personal and local cookbook describes a year’s worth of Rappahannock living along with the sections on appetizers, soups, salads, meats, seafood, vegetables, breads and desserts. There are sections also on pickles and preserves, and cooking for children. The section on appetizers spotlights the Rappahannock fall house tour sponsored by the women of Bromfield Parish and includes such local specialties as Achsah’s Cheese Biscuits, submitted by Mrs. Arthur Miller; Aline Johnson’s Spinach Balls and Carolyn Butler’s Stuffed Mushrooms. A paragraph on the Rappahannock winter sports of sledding and deer hunting introduces the chapter on soups, followed by wonderful-sounding soup recipes like Sandra CartwrightBrown’s Fresh Tomato Soup; Vicke Eastham’s Corn Chowder and Shrimp and Corn Chowder from Springhouse Farm. On to salads, where the Fourth of July activities in Washington are highlighted. If you’re looking for a change from lettuce, tomatoes and French dressing, here is where you’ll find Cauliflower Salad, with olives, pimento and onion in Rappahannock Kitchen_ their own special dressing; Marinated Carrots from Darlene Moore, and Artichoke-Rice Salad with a touch of currv. In the meats section, Rappahannock’s homegrown meat gets a plug - fresh venison, spring lamb, farm fresh pork and beef. Among the recipes for old country ham, stuffed pork chops, ground lamb pie and veal and peppers in wine, the adventurous soul can find Huntly Style Bear contributed by J. H. Cosgrove, and Rosewood Christmas Roast Venison recommended by Sharon Labovitz. Poultry and seafood are featured in the next section, with such offerings as Picnic Chicken, Bahama Island Chicken, Roast Goose, Cornish Curry and Crab Imperial. For those interested in a casserole to carry to the races, or just a new dish to prepare at home, this section offers Pasta Primavera. Mom’s Chicken Pot Pie, Ham and Cheese Strata, and Mexican Cornbread Casserole, along with dozens of other one-dish meals. Vegetables are certainly given their due, with more than 50 ways to prepare the harvest from Rappaiian nock’s many gardens. Selections range from corn pudding to stuffed zucchini and there are enough variations to assist even the most successful gardener. Breads have a special place in the repertoire of good cooks, and there are many here to choose from. Even the names sound delicious: Buttermilk Biscuits, Herb Biscuits, Corn Bread, Potato Biscuits, CheeseHerb Twist, Cardamon Bread, Dilly Bread, Swiss Cheese Braid, Holiday Bread With Orange and Cinnamon Hot Cross Buns, Walnut Whirl, Peach Bread and Hush Puppies. The efforts of some of the most creative county cooks have gone into the pickles and preserves section of Traditions. Mrs. Arthur Miller contributes her cucumber relish recipe, Mary Frances Fannon shares her zucchini relish directions, and Lynn Baines adds Mama’s Peach Pickles for use with one of Rappahannock’s most abundant fruits. “For Kids Only” is the name of the final section in Traditions and here Rappahannock children are encouraged to try their hands at Pizza Cups, Frozen Fruit Salad, Sesame Seed Squares and other dishes that they will be delighted to make as well as to eat. Included with the recipes and commentary on Rappahannock living are drawings of the county’s fine old homes, all sketched by local artists. The advantage of a local cookbook is that it presents recipes that have been tried and tested by friends and neighbors. The Rappahannock women set out to compile a book both professional and personal. They have succeeded in this ambitious effort. Proceeds from the sale of Traditions support the worthwhile activities of the group. Copies of Traditions are available for $6.95 from the Rappahannock News, Rappahannock National Bank, Washington Cash Store and other county offices and businesses. Kuritans Have Busy Year Members of the Amissville Ruritan Club recently attended the annual Zone Meeting held May IX at the Virginia Gentleman in Front Royal.

The club has donated money to three local Bible schools ($15 each), Amissville Little League ($250 for insurance). Boy Scouts ($50). Girl Scouts ($50), scholarship for an outstanding Rappahannock County High School grad Bits & Pieces In the bank a few weeks ago, Jesse Pond was asked by a curious teller why he’d dubbed his Sperrvville home "Pineapple Ridge. ” Jesse told the young woman it was because he raised pineapples up there. Their ears at the ready, the rest of the bank staff caught his remark and sent disclaimers flying at the teller's window. All the expert agronomists declared that pineapples didn’t grow 1 in Virginia. So Jesse decided to show them a thing or two. He bought a pineapple at the grocery store in Culpeper, carried it back to Sperrvville and then took pictures of the fruit in various poses — Sperryville Firemen’s 0 CARNIVAL Wed. thru Sat.

Next time he was in Washington on banking business, he slipped the pineapple photos to the teller underneath the deposit slip. Halfway through the “Oh. is this your place." she stopped and announced "That's a pineapple!” Again the bank staff was at the ready and converged on the window to see the photographs themselves. Although one employee interjected that he thought pineapples grew on trees, the rest appeared to be convinced until a customer announced that she had seen pineapples growing and they grew on bushes. “I guess I’m just going to have to get them a picture of a pineapple field,” Pond chuckled. (And Pineapple Ridge gets its pine from pine tree and its apple from Red Delicious. ) In the “just-when-youthought-you-eould-relax” category: Curtis Nichols is home in Flint Hill visiting his parents, Paul and Charlottee Nichols, after a stint in the Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion School. His first night back on the short vacation before assignment to a nuclear submarine, he’d just fallen asleep when the screech of a fire alarm sent him leaping from bed. He hit the floor shouting orders to his parents and siblings to “close the loop” and “secure the area.” The fire siren’s tone is identical to the tone used to signal a nuclear meltdown, a sheepish but relieved Nichols explained, when he realized his was a false alarm. uate ($200), T.

Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, the area served by the chapter, fell far short of the annual quota in the 1982-1983 fiscal year. Achievement of the quota of 40 units (pints) at Marshall would be a good start on the new fiscal year. A blood donor may be anyone between the ages of 17 and 65 who has not donated blood for two months and has not had any injections, including penicillin, for two weeks. i ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes Cabins • Additions Remodeling Commercial as well As Residential Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703-675-3897 Va.
