XJ* lad dDwVa County Must Move On Shelter By JON HEDDLESTON lUppahannoek News Staff Writer Push has come to shove over Rappahannock County’s animal-shelter facilities. According to Walt Lane, president of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies, legal moves to get the county to comply with state animal-welfare laws will be “forthcoming as soon as out on computer and lodged with circuit court.” Lane met July 30 with about 20 Rappahannock citizens to discuss the county’s animal-shelter facilities, currently located on the property of Animal Warden Jack Bruce. A June 25 inspection of the facility by Dr. L. E. Bowen, Jr., state animal welfare officer, revealed the Rappahannock shelter “unacceptable” in nine of 11 categories, among them: • Individual cage construction and size. • Euthanasia. • Disposal in 24 hours. Lane said the county had been dragging its feet on the issue since ' 1980. He alluded to an April 24, 1981 letter to the chairman of Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors advising him the county was in direct violation of state laws regarding euthanasia. “What gives county government in any state the right to blatantly disregard the law?” Lane questioned. Only five percent of Virginia’s counties remain out of compliance, down from 90 percent a few years ago, Lane said. Moving On Those It’s those counties the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies has been petitioning into court. Lane outlined the scenario: A writ of mandamous filed in circuit court; the circuit court judge establishing a time frame in which county supervisors must respond with plans for a facility meeting state specifications; follow up by the humane society to confirm things are moving according to schedule. “Madison (County) was sued a few weeks ago,” Lane said. “No judge on the bench is going to violate the law,” he added. The length of time Rappahannock County will have to comply with the law will be determined by the circuit court judge, Lane said during a telephone interview. “(The judges) have been fair and square,” he said, alluding to Madison County where Lane said the judge asked supervisors, “How many days do you think you need?” Virginia judges have been firm, too, according to Lane. Six supervisors in Lee County were told to comply within 90 days or go to jail, Lane said. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, who attended the meeting, said the process of meeting state animal-shelter standards already had begun. Last week, Gilkey said he delivered a gas chamber—built to state specifications—to Mr. Bruce. The hook-up to bottled carbon-monoxide gas has not yet been completed, Gilkey said. “We allocated funds in this year’s budget to upgrade (facilities),” Gilkey said. Plans called for concrete floors, new wire around the pen area and up grading of buildings, he said. Still, the funding falls far short of the $30,000 to $40,000 needed to meet all state requirements, the costs estimated by Lane. “We’re slowly making progress. We’re between a rock and a hard place as far as a place to put it,” Dick Latham, chairman of Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors, said. Latham said the board had dis News Photo/Jon Heddleston Seventh District Congressional Candidate Lewis M. Costello (D) listens to Barbara Wood during luncheon meeting lastfidday at the home of Diana and Lee Bird. cussed placing animal-shelter facilities on a county landfill site—property the county has not yet purchased. The proposed location for the landfill has not been disclosed either, Latham confirmed. That process could take months. The county may need a temporary facility. “I’m ready to move on it as soon as board members are ready,” Latham said. “(If it) has to be done right away, we do have a projected surplus. We’d have to take (the money) from that,” Latham added. “I’m ready to go on it,” Supervisor Nelson Lane said. “I would say we have a plan. We just have to get the wheels turning and do the right thing.” “It’s fair to say the supervisors are aware of suits brought in a4joining counties,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke offered. “It’s a matter of concern to them—the reason why they have begun taking some steps. ” Residents Supportive Rappahannock residents who attended the meeting to hear Walt Lane said they supported attempts by the supervisors to rectify the situation. (Continued on Page 14) Costello Here For Luncheon Lewis M. “Lew” Costello is running for Congress in more ways than one these days. The Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 7th District seat in the House of Representatives, Costello made a pit stop in Rappahannock July 27. He called the race with Republican opponent D. French Slaughter “the earliest, fastest race at this time I can remember in the 7th District.” Costello was the guest speaker during • luncheon at the home of Lee and Diana Bird of Washington. The .Birds long have served in Vagina’s Democratic Party; Mr. Bird is chairman at Rappahannock's Democratic Committee. Accompanied by wife Joy and campaign volunteer Lee Whitacre, Costello spent just over an hour with 20 or so people who attended. Costello called the federal deficit “not just an issue; it may be the issue.” The candidate said his own poll and expertise in the area make him believe doing something about the deficit is critical. An accountant-lawyer with 22 years experience in tax litigation, Costello said in regard to the deficit, “It’s (Continued on Page 14) Land Gift To Library To Benefit Everyone On the steps of the library Monday morning, July 30, Byrd (Mrs. E.M. “Ned”) Jones gave to the Rappahannock County Library a gift of 13,111.56 square feet of land. Mrs. Jones chose the Friends of the Rappahannock County Library to receive and administer this gift for the library in order to make possible the erection of a building on the land, which will be architecturally in keeping with the present library and will provide much needed additional library space. This .3 acre is located in Washington, vis-a-vis the library, between Mrs. Jones’ and Ms. Diane Bruce’s houses. The property faces Gay Street and backs on to an access alley that runs through to Middle Street (also known as #211-Old Lee Highway). The property and buildings thereon are subject to the life estate of Mrs. Emily Frances Fincham. In passing the deed to Mr. Charles Russell, chairman of Friends of the Rappahannock County Library, Mrs. Jones said she was giving the property “because I have so much epjoyed the library—the excellence of it. It’s such a great library. Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson and so many others have made it great.” After World War II, Byrd Gravatt Jones came from her home in Blackstone, Va., Nottoway County, the bride at a tall, handsome young Army Captain, Ned Jones. In the big, generous house at Delamore, the Jones family place, her family grew up and the apple and cattle funning operations prospered. Mr. Jones became a prominent orchardiat, serving many years as president of the Virginia State Horticultural Society and National Apple Institute, before becoming Rappahannock’s county clerk for 14 years. “I want to make a contribution to the county that will benefit everyone in the county, in gratitude for the positive and joyful experience that many years of living here have meant to me.” Mrs. Jones said. “I decided to choose the Library as the recipient of my gratitude to the county, because both Mr. Jones and I felt that the Library, more than any other of our many good institutions, serves more people. In fact, everyone in the county—both black and white, regardless of age, section, economics or religion—is served.” Serving the county in which they live is part of family tradition for the Joneses, a family that has been the source of several generations of county lawyers and judges. Civic responsibility is something Mrs. Jones brought to Rappahannock when she came, adopting this county and its concerns. “I’ve always been interested in county endeavors,” she admitted. “And after watching our library grow from an acorn into a healthy tree—now too large and thriving for its container—I decided it needed space. i “I have watched with admiration the intense dedication and talent of many friends and volunteers who have developed our little library into an important and lively factor in all our fives. It is my hope that my land gift will solve a part of the fibrary’B pressing space problem.” On behalf of Friends of the Rappahannock County Library, Mrs. Janies P. Jamieson spoke in appreciation of the gift. (Continued on Page 14) Byrd Jones (foreground) passes deed to “Friends” Chairman Charles Russell. Also present at the ceremony were (1-c) Capt. George Sharp, Col. Dieter Knuepfer, Dr. Bernard Nunez, Mary Jamieson, James W. Fletcher, James P. Jamieson.

General District Court Switching Drivers Causes Confusion “I’m not guilty because 1 wasn't driving,” Selena Lynn Lee told Judge John Alexander in General District Court last week. Lee claimed that she had taken the blame for a two-car accident occurring in Rappahannock County in early July to protect her friend, Sherry Ayers, who was actually driving. “She has a worse record,” said Lee, who added that they persuaded the occupants of the other vehicle to go along with the switch. Lee said that she had had some beer but not enough, she thought, to cause her to be intoxicated. When her Mood alcohol test showed up at the legal lower limit for drunk driving, she realized it was she who was in more serious trouble. She and Ayers went to Trooper Howe and explained their deception. Ayers took the stand and corroborated Lee’s story. The judge dismissed the case. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said later that charges of giving false information to an officer would be made against the women. “This is happening more and more,” he said. “It puts us in a bad position — we don’t know which version is right and we have only administered one blood alcohol test at the scene.” Criminal Division Larry Mann, Possess marijuana, probation, 1 year.

Day FINANCE CLAUSE LIMITS One of the key clauses in the agreement to purchase a home is the one concerning obtaining financing by the buyer. Contract forms usually spell out the financing details of the transaction at great length with spaces for the principal, interest rates and other loan terms. Some forms obligate the buyer to pay either a specified level of interest or, if that cannot be obtained, “the best available rate.” In a rapidly dunging market when rates are rising, such language may force the purchaser to pay far higher interest costs than originally expected. You might, as the buyer, limit interest costs by agreeing to a maximum rate and stipulating that if the agreed-upon rate is not available, the agreement is void and the deposit must be returned. A buyer must make a “good faith” effort to find the financing described in the sales agreement. But what happens if interest rates change and you no longer qualify for a loan? You can protect yourself by making the entire transaction contingent on your ability to get the financing outlined in the contract.

REYNOLDS The Board of Zoning Appeals voted last week to turn down the application of the Child Care and Learning Center fin* a variance from the rear setback requirements of the toning ordinance. The Center had come before the Planning Commission twice and the BZA once before appearing July 26 at the regular monthly meeting of the BZA. Chairman Lee Bird addressed the BZA before its discussion of the Sursum Cords ease. He said the request centered around the issue of hardship, a condition that could be found for several reasons and in degrees of severity. Hardship is defined in Virginia law as “hardship approaching confiscation,” “undue hardship,” and “unnecessary hardship.” Hardship must exist through no fault of the application—because of features of the land itself. The Center requested a variance for its proposed building on Route 211 Corrections In an article titled, “BZA Votes Variance Down,” it was incorrectly reported Child Care and Learning Center representatives protested when BZA board members twice went into executive session. Representatives of the Center did not protest either move into executive session. In General District Court news, it was reported Roy Coria Wallace was fined $600 and costs for reckless driving. The fine was $50 and costs. USED CAR SALE 20,000 MILE -12 MONTH Limited Warranty Included in Price 1983 Chevette 4 door 5 speed, AM/FM, LIKE NEWII 1981 Olds Omega 2 door Brougham Auto.

Arguments for the Center, presented by Doug Baumgardner, were that the fear of setting precedent should not be a factor in any BZA reaching a decision, since “each case must be decided on its own facts,” Baumgardner said, quoting from a treatise. He also questioned the reasonableness of an ordinance the Planning Commission saw fit to cut from 160 to 75 feet in the proposed new ordinance. To Peter Kramer's question about the recent nature of the subdivision, Bird said the purchaser still could not be aware of adverse topographic conditions if the site visit was made when the weather was favorable. Could Use Be Made? Zoning Administrator David Konick’s opposing argument centered around questioning of the architect, Angus MacDonald. “Could you build a house here? A barn? A wayside station? A park? A club or lodge? A multi-family dwelling? A gift shop? A professional office building? A fire department? A rescue squad?” the zoning administrator asked. The answer in most cases was affirmative by the arhictect. Executive Session Konkk’s continued questioning had brought the gavel from chairman Bird when member Sharon Luke requested that the board move into executive session to discuss personnel matters. Members agreed and an executive session was held. Upon return to open session, Bird told the group in the courtroom that the BZA had discussed personnel matters and was prepared to share some of them with the audience. Konick asked that the board return to executive session and they did so. Upon return again to public session, the chairman said that no action \ had been taken. Bird entered into the record the history of the variance request, and letters of support from Margery Exton and Ray L. Gooch. Finally, three of the members: Bird, Kramer and James Swindler, were unable to find that the Center would suffer sufficient hardship by adhering to the ordinance. George Muth voted for the variance; Luke abstained. In other business, the board: voted for the Sharp’s Special Use Permit for temporary living quarters for farm workers; voted to extend Swindler’s Special Use Permit; and granted Elmer Atkins’ Special Use Permit for a sign in Sperryville. Board Accepts Bid j ByT. REYNOLDS RawJkmMck N«w« Special Writer At an afternoon school board meeting July 23, the Rappahannock School Board opened two bids for the roof rebuilding at the Elementary School. Texas Roofing Company submitted a price of $157,700 for the tapered roof; Martin Construction Company proposed a figure of $134,144. Both estimated a fifty-day completion date. Superintendent Robert Estabrook pointed out that both amounts were above the sum appropriated by the supervisors for the repair project. Board members voted to accept the lower bid and to advise the supervisors that the project would require more money. Lowell Baughan, the architect advising the board on this project, was directed to call the low bidder, Martin Construction Co., and confirm the price. This extra caution was taken becauae of mistakes in the past on Martin’s part, two of which had resulted in V rebidding of the project. Baughan did so and reported that everything was in order. Food Supply Bids As required by the Public Procurement Act, the board had sought bids from local and regional food suppliers for their cafeterias. Because of conflicting packaging and sizes, the board directed Judy Burke, cafeteria coordinator, to study the bids, compare them and determine the lowest bidder. The administration was directed to accept the lowest bid. A New Bus Next on the list was the procurement of a new bus, a procedure also requiring bidding. The board opened two bids, one from Sonny Merriman of Rustburg, and one from Salem Quality Equipment, Inc., a Bluebird distributor. Salem had the low bid, which was accepted. Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell told the board that it could probably save a substantial amount by picking up the bus in Buena Vista, Va.; it was agreed to do so. Literary Loan At Last Good news from Superintendent Robert Estabrook was that the literary ' loan application of $1,509,000 by the | Rappahannock schools had been apnroved. of the selection at the sulked of the board’s August meeting. After a discussion of personnel matters in executive session, the board voted in public session to accept the resignation of Sally Brandt, a high school Earth Science teacher, and to , appoint Scott Appman as Industrial Arts teacher at the high school. Greg Waters and Ann Spieker were appointed the outdoor track coaches. Tennis Clinics Begin Saturday Perhaps you consider yourself an emergency case, perhaps you require only first aid, but the clinics set for the next two weeks might be just what the doctor ordered. On hand at the Rappahannock Recreation Park will be help for your ailments—but it’s your tennis game instead of your aches and pains that Hunt Harris will be trying to heal. The Rappahannock Recreation Association (RRA) is sponsoring the tennis clinics for different problems and different age groups. Clinics will cover forehand, backhand, service, volley, specialty shots— pretty much the whole tennis game, Harris says. Preregistration is Saturday from 10 to 12 at the park in Washington or immediately before any of the scheduled classes. Payment is $4 for adults, |3 for children. Betsy Murray of the RRA advises students to arrive with rackets, comfortable clothes, and smooth soled shoes. She also recommends bringing drinking water to the lessons. The clinics take place August 6, 8, 10,14,16. • 7:30-8:30 a.m.: Beginning and Intermediate Adults. • 9-10 a.m.: Beginning and Intermediate Students (under 18) • 10:30-11:30 a.m.: Advanced Students. • 5:30-6:30 p.m.: Beginning and Intermediate Adults. • 7:00-8:00 p.m.: Advanced Adults.

Dark clouds do have silver linings. An inadequate animal-shelter facility is a dark cloud that’s been hanging over Rappahannock for several years. Residents who attended a meeting this week at which unacceptable conditions at the county facility were highlighted had every opportunity to jump on the negative bandwagon—to growl and snarl and snap about an antiquated dog pound. They did come to attack—the problem— not the people involved. Residents drew the defense line when the guest speaker — the president of Virginia’s Federation of Humane Societies — made sweeping generalizations about Rappahannock County, it’s animalshelter facilities, and the people responsible for them. Supporting county supervisors and their “dog” warden of 25 years, residents came to the rescue with words of wisdom, praise and practicality. They could have done differently, but they didn’t. Instead, these concerned residents asked what they could do to help. They vowed to try to garner grants and rally local support. They want to work with county officials, not against them, to see that a new animal-shelter facility is everyone’s delight — not everyone’s eyesore. They proposed a Rappahannock County Chapter of the Humane Society (hopefully not to be called RCHS) and asked what it would take txibecome chartered. They set a date, time and place for a first meeting: September 6, 7:30 p.m. at the Washington Fire Hall. They were more humane than the humane society president. They didn’t ask why, but rather, why not? For Value Of Care Small Price Paid To the editor: As one who has had a long association with Sursum Corda, The Child Care and Learning Center, I feel qualified to respond to the letter written last week by several former clients of the school. No one has asked me to write this letter. The school is being accused of charging eagessive fees" in thsA'Tt.’.i virtually impossible for a woman to work and keep her child at Sursum Cerda and* come out ahead.” This is said to be true because the charge for a child in the infant toddler program is $310 a month for 22-ten hour days, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. According to my figures, this comes to about $1 40 an hour. The law requires that children at that age be cared for at the rate of one person for four infants. Assuming that all the payment were devoted to paying the individual taking care of four children, that would come to $5.60 an hour for a person performing that work. How many of the parents of the infants at Sursum Corda would be willing to work eight hours at $5.60 an hour, five days a week, 12 months in a year with no paid vacation, no sick days, taking care of four infants between the ages of six weeks and a year and a half? Of course the tuition goes for much more than personnel in charge of the children. Diapers and food are provided the babies, who are often brought having been given no breakfast at home. There are the costs of operating a building — rent, heating, insurance, electricity, telephone, maintenance and ground work; there are toys and supplies to be purchased; personnel to cook and administer the program must be hired. The idea that Sursum Corda is gouging parents is absurd and parents who so claim are the very reason the school has to insist on as iron-dad contracts as it can make. Almost anything is regarded as being worth paying more for than the loving, expert and never-failing care provided at Sursum Corda. There is even ft scholarship hind for parents who ca^-thow they | v ruvwt ht»ln ' • ’' 1 - nely need help. The very fact tljat the school must operate for 10 hours a day requires a flexible working staff to make sure that all hours are covered. Imagine the juggling that takes! The working parents who have children at Sursum Corda are making more than $1.40 an hour. They use the school because (1) they have elected to have children they do not want to care for themselves, or (2) they want their children to benefit from the schools program, or (3) they have to work to support their families and need help they can count on. To turn on the school because they are dissatisfied with themselves and their lives and the results of their choices is to reveal themselves as blind. They might with more justice attack the telephone company, the supermarket, or the clothes and automobile makers for their charges than attack Sursum Corda. I’m reminded of the people who think $1.20 for a dozen eggs is too much. What can you get for 10c that is anything like as valuable as an egg? What can you get for yourself and your child for $1.40 that is worth as much as an hour of the care of a baby at Sursum Corda? DIANA BIRD Washington Parents Encouraged To Get Involved To the editor: We would simply like to add our names to the long list of those who support The Child Care and Learning Center, Sursum Corda. Here in this aging farmhouse, children from Rappahannock (and some from neighboring counties) receive individual attention as they participate in a variety of programs. From the Infant Toddler program right up through Preschool, and into enrichment programs such as Dance, Karate, Art, Stained Glass — the children are stimulated to learn. Each day there are songs, games and lessons. There is a variety of toys, books, and playground equipment that would be hard to match in any home. A very nutritious lunch is served. Those who care for and teach the children really love them. The teachers receive special guidance from child-development experts and participate in workshops at scheduled intervals. (Best of all, many of them are mothers!) As parents, we are encouraged to maintain close involvement with the Center. Any questions have been welcomed by the staff. Parents were recently informed of impending cost increases in the InfantToddler programs. Parental reaction was sought before any increases were established. The Child Care and Learning Cen ter provides scholarships for the needy, uses volunteers to a great extent, and has even cut back administrative work hours. The fact remains: It costs a lot of money to provide excellent, trustworthy child care. We believe that at Sursum Corda it is worth it. DIANE WOOD LAURIE MARSHALL DARLENE MOORE Children Enrolled Four Years To the editor As we enter our fourth year as parents of children enrolled at Sursum Cords Child Care and Learning Center, we want to applaud the top quality of care and instruction which our children have received from the staff of the center. We have always found the staff gracious, thankful for criticism, comments or new ideas, and, above all, dedicated to the children that they serve. We are indeed fortunate to have this kind of resource in our community. JENNINGS HOBSON MOLLY HOBSON Washington -Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Learning Center Director Sets The Record Straight To the editor I am appreciative of the compliments bestowed upon me and others associated with The Child Care and Learning Center in the letter appearing in last week’s Rappahannock News. Indeed, it is only because of our “vision, commitment and dedicated efforts” that we can rise above such a ruthless attack on the very fundamentals of the Center! We thank you for your forbearance in matters more appropriately resolved through open discussions but now brought before the public. As executive director, I wish to address the issues that have been brought up and to “set the record straight.” Prefacing my remarks, however, I state quite simply that the people who have signed this letter are misdirecting their own frustrations. They object to a 17 percent increase in the Center’s Infant-Toddler program. They object to our enforcing financial contracts that are agreed upon and signed by parents. Some of them have “Biots! objections" to. Virginia state requirements for frill immunization of children in licensed day care centers. Fortunately, the five names represent only three families out of hundreds of families that have been associated with the Center over its eight years of operations. What l hear loud and clear is that these parents object to the high cost of child care. Good quality child care is costly, because, just as with most services in a capitalistic economic system, the purchaser (parent) must pay for what he or she gets. A recent article in a parenting magazine analogized that for many parents (especially those with two children under five years of age), child care payments exceed their monthly mortgage. Because our society does not provide a system for child care support, the mother who supports her baby and herself on <8,000 must pay the same for child care as the couple who make a combined wage of <50,000. For the single working mother making <8,000 per yea? and paying <3,700 for infant care, there’s very little left for other living expenses. The “system” certainly leaves two options for the financially oppressed: Quit working and live off of welfare or opt for cheap (usually inadequate) child care. Ms. Delevitt, the author of last week's letter, failed to mention that, thanks to the support of the Rappahannock community, Sursum Corda offers a wonderful solution to those not able to pay full tuition rates — scholarship funds. Neither did she mention that the Center’s brochure states boldly that “It is the Center’s policy to accept all children in need, regardless of ability to pay.” Nor was it mentioned that, when our Infant-Toddler program sate change was announced earlier this month, we met with each and every parent in the program and explained the availability of scholarship funds to any child in need. Let’s set the record straight about our financial contract with parents. The contract requires that a parent let us know no later than the 20th of the proceeding month if he or she does not intend to enroll the child the following month. This policy assures some stability in a constantly changing and vulnerable business and is necessary in order for us to have enough time to budget our staffing for the following month. It also gives the parent who has a child on our waiting list enough time to make the change from current child care arrangements to our programs. Sometimes this process takes two or three weeks. Now, in regards to collection procedures, we certainly do not waste valued administrative time in singularly collecting $20.00 debts in Petty Claims Court. We wait until enough debts have accrued to make it worth our time to collect. Our latest collection efforts represented dose to $600 in delinquent payments to the Center. We collect for three reasons: (1) It is sound business practice and commonly used by many small businesses; (2) Ojar monthly contract is not “legally binding” and is hot enforceable if we do nothing about bad debtors, and (3) We need the money. Most of our parents respect our contract; it offers dual protection to both parents and to the Center. The policy is established and enforced by our Board of Directors. We are not fabricating the need for a “large, new facility” to house a long waiting list of children. Indeed, we will be able to double our Center’s enrollment, and we will, in the course of time. However, the immediate need for this facility is to meet state day care licensing standards and to get out of a two-story farm house with small rooms that were certainly not designed for children under five years of age. We will also offer many more wonderful community services to the people of Rappahannock in our new building. It behooves me that $100,683 is a “phenomenal operating budget” for an organization caring 10 hours per day for 39 babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Using the 1983 budget figures which Ms. Delevitt is quoting, let me emphasize that it is indeed phenomenal that we can offer a high quality child care and developmental program on such a low budget! We jump through hoops accomplishing this amazing task year after year. In 1983, this grand sum of $100,683 paid the salaries of an InfantToddler teacher, a two-year-old teacher, a preschool teacher, a part-time cook, two part-time teacher’s aides, a part-time yard and maintenace worker, an administrative assistant/secretary, and an executive director. And, somehow or other, we still paid the rent, the utilities, the insurance (all varieties), disposable diapers, furnishings, travel expenses, accounting, supplies, repairs, educational materials, staff training and a variety of other expenses. Amazing! Let’s set the record straight about tuition rates at Sursum Corda. There are a variety of rates, designed to meet the diverse needs of parents in this Special ‘Thanks’ Long Overdue To the editor The fourth of July has long come and gone and was enjoyed by everyone. A special note of thanks, however, is overdue to the Fire Department and those individuals who spent 10 hours the following day cleaning away the debris which littered the town. Those conununity-minded folks are Chief Roger Roach, who provided his tractor, Mary Bailey, Bronson Critzer, Junior Jenkins, Clarissa Leggett, Ray Pullen, Bill Starks, Irving Starks and Joyce Starks. If anyone has been inadvertently omitted, our apologies and thanks to them as well. SIDNEY MANK Washington Husband Not ‘Unabashed’ Sexist To the editor Whatever James Marshall may think, my husband is not an “unabashed” sexist. From time to time, I make very sure to see to it that he is as abashed a sexist as ever got bashed. Cheers! EDITH A. M. (MRS. JESSE E.)POND Sperryville community, ranging from $60 per month for a part-time preschool program to $310 per month for foil-time care of a young infant. I do not know how Ms. Delevitt has derived at the conclusion that the Center charges $250 for a program whose average coaCs in surrounding counties is $160. V First, we have no program in the j Center which costs $250 per month.l/ believe that Ms. Delevitt is rmiaformed (or there was a mis-print) and that she is referring to our foil-time preschool, which costs $205 per month. In an average month of 21 days, this breaks down to $9.76 per day for 10 hours of care. Compare for yourself; our preschool rates are comparable to similar day care facilities in Front Royal, Warrenton and Culpeper. There are no infant-toddler programs in day care centers in these counties. However, if you compare our infant-toddler rates to those programs in the D.C. metropolitan area, you will find them to be consistently lower. It was a particularly cutting; and ' unjustified blow for Ms. Delevitt to infer that some of our teachers had expressed dissatisfaction with the school and its policies and that some had left. In the last month, we have had two staff vacancies, the first in over a year. One of these staff members left, as she is expecting a baby momentarily; the other staff member left to pursue professional training in arly childhood development and has been accepted into the Washington Montessori Institute. Most of our current staff have been at the Center at least three years, some as many as eight years. I know of no parents who have their children at the Center who are in agreement with the content of last week’s letter but “who will not sign their names because they are still dependent on Sursum Corda for child care.” Hog wash! There are other child care options for anyone who is in sympathy with such a letter, and I certainly credit all of our parents with the sensibility to pursue other options if they are dissatisfied with the Center. Though the timing of this letter could not have been worse, I have welcomed this opportunity to once again reaffirm our commitment to caring for this county’s most valuable resource — its children. We do welcome the public’s response to our operating budget, which is published annually in the Rappahannock News. We welcome new families in Rappahannock, as well as those who have been here for many years. We welcome the rich and the poor, the average child, the gifted child, and the handicapped child. We have been, and will continue to try to be, sensitive to the needs of our parents and of the community — that’s why we’re here. And with the help of the community, we’ll continue to be here for many years to come! CAMILLE HARRIS Executive Director The Child Care and Learning Center Center Practices Good Business To the editor Until last week I had heard only good things said about the Child Care and Learning Center by its patrons whom I know. Last week’s letter of complaint shows that the Center can also be praised for its good fiscal responsibility. It should require parents to sign a contract, and the parents who sign it should abide by what they sign. My experience with private schools was that the parent paid in advance and knew that if the child dropped out, there would be no refund. The Child Care and Learning Center should not be criticized because it practices good business. PAULINE H. BRUCE Washington From Both Barrels Robb: A Prophet Without Honor By GEORGE BOWLES Gov. Chuck Robb’s address to the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco should have received Car more attention than it was given. The speech was remarked upon in this space last week, but more needs to be said. According to the printed program Robb was scheduled to introduce the 35 Democratic governors to the convention. Hiis, of course, he did. But he went much further in his substantive remarks than had been anticipated. When they had been fully digested, the reaction among some of the Democratic constituent groups ranged from mildly upset to hopping mad. What Robb did was spell out the direction which he thought the party should take if its candidates at the national level were to have the same degree of success it eiyoyb in the states. In addition to claiming 35 of the 50 governorships, the Democrats control both houses in 34 state legislatures and one house in six others. In essence what Robb said was that, if the party is to regain the confidence of the American people, it has to have the guts to say “no” when its constituent groups make demands'which are irresponsible, contrary to the best interests of the nation, or - in effect - politically dumb. It was quite a litany of “noes” he ticked off, lightly sugar-coating each with a corresponding “yes” which the party should also say to each group. The Democratic party, explained Robb, should say yes to labor's insistence on job security and fair wages, but no to its demands for protectionism and artificial barriers to competition. (Labor, inddently, was one of the groups which was hopping mad.) To businesses and their lobbyists, Robb would say yes to innovation and free markets, but no to regulations which protect inefficiency and frustrate competition. To teachers, yes to higher salaries and increased respect, but ho to practices which reward mediocrity and “ignore the performance of our best.” (This was a plug for his master teachers program.) To students, yes to educational access but no to social promotions. To the American people, yes to arms control but no to “showboat diplomacy.” To the Pentagon, yes to a strong national defense but no to “cosy contracts” and weapons systems which don’t work. To the GOP, yes to fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget, but no to denying women fiill constitutional protection. (A renewed commitment to the Equal Rights Amendment and a tap on the wedge to widen the gender gap.) To the Russians, yes to solidarity and support for human dignity in the third world, but no to continued oppression of Andre Sahkarov. When the speech was over, Robb and his staff said they had fully expected it to be received, at least in part, with boos and catcalls from the predominantly liberal conventioneers. It didn’t happen. Indeed, Robb received a larger-thanusual round of applause for a speaker who was not supposed to have been one of the convention’s heavy hitters. Still, labor and the more doctrinaire liberal delegates were enormously displeased, and some of them so informed the governor in no uncertain terms. So why did Robb make the speech? It is clear that he wanted to put his definition of the Democratic party on record before the party’s highest forum, its national convention. The address was nationally televised in on cable TV, so the entire nation - including Virginia - heard the governor spell out what he thought the Democratic party should be about. Robb said his purpose was to "enlarge the Democratic tent” so that it could accommodate a wider spectrum of political thought. In his view the multitude of constitutent groups which have come to make up the party have become so self-focused that they have narrowed, rather than expanded, its appeal. The view of the cooler heads in the party is that he is exactly right. They also note he was a prophet without honor—or very much notice—at the Democratic convention.

More Letters To The Editor Quality Of Care And Education Is Worth It To the editor And especially to Freeman, Nina, Pali, Mickey, and Mary: I am responding to your letter that appeared in the July 26 edition of The Rappahannock News. You complained of people being taken to court to collect “certain socalled unpaid fees, some as little as $20, despite the fact that their parents withdrew the children from the school ...and in some cases before services contracted for in advance were received.” The trailing phrase after the hyphen indicates that in some cases services were rendered, and still people didn’t pay. You didn’t stress that point, did you? As far as the services that were not received, it had to be the parents that failed, not the Center. Based on your logic, with regards to signing contracts, I don’t have to make my car payment this month, as long as I park the car before the payment is due. I can also pay only onehalf my rental or mortgage as I will be on vacation the last half of the month and won’t be using the house. If people can stop payment to a small, non-profit organization such as Sursum Corda whenever they feel like it, the profitable financial institutions certainly shouldn’t mind if I stop payment to them, if I am not using the product anymore. Your seventh paragraph seems slanderous, implying that Sursum Corda does not offer a “high standard of care and education.” You complain that the “average” of the surrounding area is only $160. This average must be for the two year old potty-trained only because you didn’t compare it with the infant-toddler price of $310. Why did you not compare the price of the infant toddler program? Because it Was beneficial to the tone of your lettfer not to compare reader. You speak of “more flexible, convenient arrangements for parents;” “the average cost of these other programs;” “growing undercurrents of dissatisfaction.” I say give some specifics. You say it is “a concept that was potentially a great aid to many people. ” 1 say it is “a concept that ia a great aid to many people.” And I challenge any or all five signatures to an open public debate on this subject. Your letter says you “wish to honor the vision, commitment, and dedicated efforts of Camille Harris, etc.” Then why don’t you get behind her and help with the large new facility, instead of trying to kill it? With a larger facility, they could take more children in. They could offer things to all Rappahannock citizens, not just, working parents, which seems to be your only concern. They currently offer dance and karate, and maybe other programs that I am not aware of. Think for a minute about how the prices could go down for the working mother, if there were other programs and the facilities to house more children and other community activities. I can’t say rates would drop, but taken seriously by it? Your letter is ml to be intelligent Smokey And VDF Thank Supporters To the editor: At the beginning of this year, people across the United State began the celebration of Smokey Bear’s 40th birthday. During the month of May, the Divisions of Forestry throughout the U.S. began publicity for the sale of an “Official First Day Cover.” This “cachet” includes an envelope with color artwork, commemorative U. S. postage stamp, and postmark in Captain, New Mexico where the originial Smokey Bear was found. The Virginia Division of Forestry would like to thank all newspapers for the excellent publicity. Our job would have been incomplete without it. The Virginia Division of Forestry would alslo like to thank the residents of this state for their response. The people of Virginia eiyoy “low incidence of fires” and “low numbers of acres burned.” This is due to their conscientious attitude regarding the preservation and management of the 16,456,960 acres of forested land in Virginia. The forest industry of Virginia provides jobs for 63,000 people. One of every six industrial wage dollars is ^ paid by the forest products industry, which amounts to nearly $1 billion annually. The proceeds from the sale of the cachet will be used for forestry education with emphasis on youth, and Virginia will greatly benefit from this program. Those who have not had the opportunity to purchase the cachet may do so by sending check or money order for $2.50 payable to National Assoc, of State Foresters, do Allane Wilson, Alabama Forestry Commission, 513 Madison Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36130. J. W. GARNER State Forester Virginia Division of Forestry “Distance is a great promoter of admiration.” —Denis Diderot when total revenue is the name of the game, it is conceivable that rates could drop. The lack of vision and hope that your letter exhibits has probably killed many good ideas in many places.

Time To Reap A Country Harvest Sperryville Cook Jams With Honey By T. REYNOLDS Commercial pectins, although usually foolproof, rely on quantities of sugar to achieve a firm gel. Some of them call for twice the amount of sugar as fruit. The practice stretches the quantity of jelly or jam but greatly dilutes the fruit flavor and produces a result that seems over-sweet to some. Others may worry about the effect of so much concentrated sugar on their health and that of children, who are known to live partly on jelly and jam. Jackie Wellemeyer, who lives in Gid Brown Hollow, has found a way to make jams and jellies with more of the natural fruit flavor and less sweetening. Jackie doesn’t use sugar at all, but instead uses small amounts of honey. She recommends thistle, clover, alfalfa, locust or some type of light honey without a strong flavor. She uses V» cup of honey for each cup of fruit for her jam. Jackie’s secret is low-methoxyl pectin, a product that’s generally available but not often used because of its difference from convention and the lack of information about how to use it. This pectin needs calcium instead of sugar to set, and calcium is an ingredient in short supply in most fruits, Jackie says. She’s studied the amounts of calcium in most commonly available fruits to have a guide to go by. Using the low-methoxl (1-m) pectin, she’s put up jam from cherries, strawberries, blueberries, nectarines, peaches, blackberries and grapes. Jackie has had only success in using this pectin and credits her good jam to a large, flat-bottomed pot and the hard water of the area. “The extra calcium helps the jam stiffen,” she says. Her advice to novice jelly makers is to “hang in there. You’ve got to be flexible, use common sense and be confident that your products will be okay.” Users of this new method will find they need to take extra steps to preserve the jam or jelly. A simple pandin coating is not sufficient. Either store in the freezer or process as with any canned fruit. One good feature of the L.M. pectin is the ability to find the right consistency by trial and error. Directions are the same for honey or sugar-based fruit jams. Fruit Preserves 2 teaspoons low-methoxl pectin Vi cup mild-flavored honey or sugar to taste 4 cups chopped or pureed fruit (above five or six cups whole) 2 tablespoons lemon-juice 4 teaspoons or more calcium mixture Put a metal bowl in the freezer for tests. Stir the pectin slowly into the honey until well blended, or mix with the sugar. In a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan, combine fruit and lemon juice. Bring to a full boil. Stir in the pectin-honey or pectin-sugar mixture and bring back to a boil which cannot be stirred down. Immediately stir in the calcium mixture and remove from heat. The calcium mixture ia Vi teaspoon of dicalcium phosphate powder and one cup of water, mixed in a blender. The calcium comes along with the pectin. Adjust the thickness by testing, all with the mixture removed from the heat. Test it by placing a spoonful on the frozen plate and returning it to the freezer to chill about a minute. If the fruit is still syrupy, add more calcium (2 teaspoons at a time) and test, repeating until the preserves thicken. If the fruit cools too much, reheat quickly. If the preserves are too gummy, thin with juice, one-half cup at a time. Retest. These preserves will have a fresher flavor and a more natural color than ordinary preserves. Use small jars, since the opened jar of low-sugar preserves spoils faster. Keep in the freezer, or pour into sterilized jars and process in a boiling water bath for five minutes for pints and half-pints.

Learn The Value Of Vegetables Most gardeners are aware that their vegetables taste better than the less-fresh store variety. And they know that the hours they spend in the garden are healthful and productive. At canning time, it’s important to recognize the nutritional qualities of the vegetables being preserved. Care should be taken to use the freshest of vegetables, handle them without bruising or crushing, shorten the time between garden and freezer or shelf as much as possible, and concentrate on saving some of the vegetables highest in 1 food value. Here are some favorites, and their food values. Tomato Red tomatoes, ripened on the vine, are good sources of vitamins A and C. In fact, one serving of tomato (or 3l/2 ounces) provides about one-fifth of that day’s need for vitamin A, and about one-third the amount of vitamin C. There are also small amounts of various minerals. One two-inch tomato has 25 calories. Carrot Generations of children have grown up with the warning to eat their carrots, get their vitamin A and improve their vision. The shocking truth is that this vegetable does not contain vitamin A. Carrots contain carotene, though, and this is the substance that the body converts to vitamin A. One serving, either raw or cooked, provides vitamin A values well in excess of the recommended daily amount. Carrot enthusiasts need not worry about overindulging in this natural supply of carotene. Carrots contain all the major minerals, are actually more nutritious cooked than raw, and are high in potassium. If you ^row your own carrots, they should be young, smooth and clean. If you don’t peel them the nutrient count is higher. Onion Onions are eaten green or as fully developed bulbs. The most nutritional benefit is from vitamin A, potassium and other minerals. The green parts furnish vitamin C as well as large amounts of vitamin A. Onions that have been in storage have lost most of their food value. You can freeze small, sweet onions: simply clean, blanch and pack in freezer bags. This may be worth doing if you have a good spring onion crop. Or onions may be chopped, frozen on cookie sheets, and packed into bags for the freezer. Pepper One serving of green bell peppers gives one-tenth the daily requirement of vitamin A, and twice the requirement of vitamin C. Let them turn red in your garden - they will be large and sweet and have the full daily requirement of vitamin A and much more of vitamin C. Freeze some of this free nutrition. Chop a mixture of red and green peppers, spread on trays and pack into bags when separately frozen. Cucumber The primary ingredient of cucumbers is water - over 95 percent. At only 15 calories a serving, they are sought after by dieters. Little nutrition here except for small amounts of calcium, phosphorus and iron. All the vitamin A is in the peel. Bush Bean Beans provide calcium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A atid C. Green bee ns are higher than yellow in vitamin A. Both add bulk to the diet. Lettuce The darker green the leaf, the more vitamin A. Romaine and looseleaf lettuce are significant sources of vitamin A, with six times more than crisp head types and twice that of butterheads. Lettuce has vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals like calcium and iron. Since lettuce is eaten raw, none of its nutrients are destroyed by cooking. Radishes If you should eat a fiill (3V4 ounce) serving of radishes at one meal, you would get only 17 calories, but half the required daily amount of vitamin C and a small amount of potassium. Zucchini Like cucumbers, these are 95 percent water. They have some vitamin A and C; more of both vitamins are in the yellow-skinned varieties. Broccoli This popular vegetable is a nutritional gold mine. One serving will provide more than half the requirement for vitamin A; one-and-onehalf the days’ requirement for vitamin C, large amounts of calcium and phosphorus, some B vitamins, plenty of bulk and even some protein - the highest of any vegetable. Greens, Lettuce, Carrots. What’s their worth nutritionally? Rappahannock Newt Phoao/T Reynolds Helping Mom, Autumn Wellemeyer assembles ingredients needed for jam making. No sugar is necessary—Jackie Wellemeyer uses honey for sweetening. r , Rappahannock News PhoUVT. Reynolds J.L.. Holland gave a mid-July preview of the mountains of tomatoes now facing Rappahannock gardeners. Holland, who runs Jackie’s Fruit Basket in Sperryville, got a jump on the season by trucking these vegetables in from Hanover County. Try drying some garden tomatoes for a welcome change. Sunshine Will Dry Tomatoes The newest “in” vegetable this year is the dried tomato, selling for as much as $15 to $20 a pound in gourmet and specialty shops. Tired of the conventional ways of preserving tomatoes? Try this. It’s actually not new, but a very old way of preserving the flavor and color of everyone’s favorite vegetable. The best tomato for this, meaning the fastest to dry, is the plum or Italian-paste tomato. Gather them, slice them in halves or thirds, and set them cut-side-up on nylon screens outside. To protect them from flies and other insects while still letting the sun through, add another layer of screening. The finished tomatoes should be leathery but not dry. They should bend to the touch. Store them in glass jars with screw-on lids. To reconstitute, pour a mixture of equal parts vinegar and boiling water over them and let sit a few minutes until chewy. Then, drain and cover with olive oil seasoned with oregano and garlic. Marinate for at least 24 hours. They’ll keep this way for about a month and be ready to add to spaghetti sauce, salads and cooked vegetables. Canners Owe All To Napoleon The French general Napoleon was convinced successful armies traveled on their stomachs. His chefs provided troops the best camp cuisine available, with fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the growing season. The general worried constantly about food preservation. How could a general best feed a regiment camping out in Moscow or stuck in a snowstorm, before the spring thaw? He tinkered with ways of preserving fruits, vegetables and meats. In fact, the French government offered a prize of twelve thousand francs to anybody who could invent such a process. Nicholas Appert, a French brewer, applied for the prize and collected his reward. Appert invented a method of boiling meats, fruits and vegetables and sealing them in jars with the corks dipped in tar. The British waged the battle of the field rations by coming up with the same process, only with tins. What these two armies were really doing was pasteurizing food before Pasteur had invented his theories. No one canned at home, though, until John Mason came up with the famous Mason jar in 1858, making it possible for people throughout the world to have peas in January, com in March and bruit year 'round.

Together They Hoe Down World Hunger By T. REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Special Writer Green beans by the bushel, tomatoes by the box, zucchini by the pick-up truck load — Baptist minister Steve Scoggin has taken up an additional summertime job of offering these vegetables in quantity to would-be canners. Scoggin is not trying to supplement his pastoral salary: Since last winter he’s been gardening for the benefit of his World Hunger Project. Each week Scoggin meets with a group of other volunteer gardeners in the plot behind his home. There, in the early morning cool, they weed, till, harvest, stake and hoe until the thriv ing plants are tidy and well-picked. Then the volunteers sit,down to a hardearned breakfast served by Scoggin’s wife, Nancy. Although the project has the approval of the Washington Baptist Church, it’s a community-wide attempt to strike a very personal blow against the complicated problems of world hunger. Helping out steadily in the patch are Hunt Harris, Dan Lewis, Doris and Bill, Donald, Sid and Margaret Gottlieb and youngsters from the church youth group. In addition, each week church members and others who have heard of the hunger project drop off bags of cab Rappahannock Newt Photo/T. Reynolds Sid Gottlieb, a gardener for 30 years, is one who works to fight world hunger each week. Gottlieb has “bug expert. ” bages, cucumbers, squash and whatever else they can’t use. Steve also encourages pick-yourown buyers. “We’re hoping that, as folks get ready to do their canning, they’ll come by here during the early part of the week, pick what they need, and leave the money. It will be strictly on the honor system,” he said. Vegetables picked by the volunteers on Friday mornings are sold at the Small Fanner’s Market in Washington. Any not sold are distributed the next week at the Senior nutrition site. “So we know that somehow they’re being used,” Scoggin said. While the program may never make a million with this relaxed approach to profit, the more people who either participate or benefit, the better Scoggin feels he’s fulfilled one of his purposes. “We’re doing this to come up with some substantial financial help against a specific world hunger problem,” he said. “But also to help raise people’s awareness about this issue. What better way than with a garden?” Steve’s first garden is not his first manifestation of interest in the problem of world hunger. “I became concerned in graduate school and in the seminary,” he said. “After a while, it didn’t seem enough just to worry about it; it didn’t seem enough to even contribute money. I wanted to do something active. When I found myself in an agricultural setting, it seemed perfect. Why not call attention to the problem with a garden? So I put an ad in the paper and the volunteers responded.” Scoggin discussed it with the church because, “although it wasn’t a church project, it would account for some of my time. So the church needed to know and approve. They were completely in favor.” Answers to his ad convinced Scoggin that there were others who could supply the knowledge to match his enthusiasm. He heard from Sid Gottlieb, a gardener of 30 years. “Sid’s my bug expert,” Scoggin explained. “And he and I are the compulsive organizers of the group.” Other calls followed and Steve knew he had enough volunteer interest to complete the project. Other services were offered and requested. Newbill and Carol Miller donated the land, Bill Racer plowed and tilled it, Brad Fisher donated the tiller and worked the soil for the first time. Meanwhile, soil samples had been taken and lime and sheep manure (supplied by Fairlea Farm) had been applied. Volunteers had studied the market as well as the dimensions of the garden and mapped out a plan and their requirements for seeds. They were ready to begin. Scoggin made the final preparations for planting. “I wanted to do that myself,” he said. “I was learning.” Weather, as usual, was not cooperative, but Anally, during the second week in May, the garden was completely planted. During the first few weeks of working, Scoggin realized another benefit of his group approach. “We had a wonderful time,” he said. “It’s easier to talk to people when you’re working beside^hem than it is if you visit them as their pastor and sit in the parlor. Also, some of us might not have gotten to know each other at all without this common interest. Work went faster, was more pleasant and more productive.” One of the women, Doris Donald, said, ‘It’s not work at all if you’re sharing.’ Besides her garden work, Mrs. Donald gathers blackberries, makes them into jam and sells it for the project. “When you work in a garden,” Scoggin said, “you start to think there’s so much produce, the earth is so generous, why is there hunger? I’ve been convinced over the years of my interest in the problem that it’s a political rather than a financial problem. “There are droughts, terrible droughts in parts of the world and there is overproducion in other parts. Somehow the two just can’t meet. Trucks are stolen, they break down, the food spoils. A lot of supplies end up on the black market. A lot of money ends up in the pockets of administrators. So we were determined to decide what specifically to do with our proceeds.” Scoggin said his group’s project is not connected with the formal international project of the same name, although it’s possible that the money will be channeled there. He’s looking at several organizations; the group will make a decision soon. “We’ll be very specific, very personal,” he said. “We’ll make sure it goes for irrigation or for equipment, or wfiateveriwe deride.” iU- - Scoggin said that his greatest personal interest was in West Africa, s ^wICAN!

Project Has Recipes Margaret Gottlieb, who regularly gardens at the community garden in Washington as well as at her own raised bed garden in Boston, has an answer for all those besieged by zucchini at this time of year. Margaret grates the squash, sautes it lightly in a little butter and then drains it. This is important because the excess water is what causes most people to dislike frozen squash. She then packs it into plastic bags and stores it in the freezer. This is used for zucchini bread, casseroles, sauces and is good warmed with a little tomato and onion, she said. Mrs. Gottlieb reports it keeps its color and texture much better than zucchini frozen the conventional way. Ant Repellent Mrs. Gottlieb also grows herbs, and she’s used a long-time favorite to solve an ant problem in her kitchen. She cuts tansy leaves and sprinkles them around her window where she’s had a problem with ants. Since she’s started doing this, her problem is solved, she says. Deris Donald’s Blackberry Jelly Mrs. Donald grows her blackberries right in the garden and says “they’re as big as your thumb.” She stems, washes and crushes berries, one layer at a time. She extracts juice by placing the crushed berries in several layers of cheesecloth and pressing the juice out. Mrs. Donald proceeds, using the directions with commercial fruit pectin, with three and one-half cups of berries, five cups of sugar, and one box of commercial powdered fruit pectin. Cantaloupes Coming Virginia Cantaloupes Coming To Market! Consumers choosing cantaloupes should look for melons that are creamy-yellow or buff in color with a thick, coarse netting over the skin. A melon at the proper stage of maturity will have a smooth indentation at the stem end, indicating its “full slip” condition when picked from the vine. At the blossom end, the melon should yield slightly to thumb pressure.

In storing store-bought cantaloupes, they ripen best when put in a closed pierced paper bag at room temperature for two to four days. Once ripened, the melon is highly perishable and should be eaten quickly. Ripe cantaloupes should be wrapped in plastic or foil and refrigerated. Cantaloupes will absorb refrigerator odor as well as give off odor that can permeate other foods. This is especially true for cut melons. Do not remove the seeds from a cut melon until ready to eat, as the seeds help keep the flesh moist. To help you enjoy Virginia’s cantaloupe crop, here are a couple of recipes from VDACS test kitchens.

Wining & Dining Virginia-Style To celebrate Virginia Farm Winery Week, aa proclaimed by Governor Robb for August 6-11 here are a few choice recipes from Virginia vintners and the VDACS food lab. Before you enjoy this happy new marriage of Virginia wines and Virginia foods, these tips on cooking with wine may be helpfill. What Goes with What...As a rule of thumb, you should cook with the kind of wine you will serve with your dish. Dry white wine goes best with delicately flavored foods such as poultry, fish or seafood. Dry red wines complement more robust foods such a beef, lamb or game. Rose wines go well with ham and veal. Semi-dry or slightly sweet wines go well with fruits, desserts and rich sauces. However, your own sense of taste is your best guide. ...And What Doesn’t - Some foods are not compatible with wine at all. The chief enemy is, not surprisingly, vinegar. Other flavors which should be toned down when wine is a key element of a meal are curry, horseradish, hot peppers, citrus rinds, excessive fat and oils and, unfortunately, heavy chocolate. Enhancing the Flavor Most recipes call for a relatively small amount of wine so that its flavors will blend with and not overpower the flavors of the other ingredients. You usually add the wine toward the end of a recipe so that its flavor is not boiled out. During the cooking process, the alcohol (and its calories) will evaporate. Scalloped Potatoes with Wine 5 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes V4 cup white Virginia wine Vi cup chicken broth V* cup melted butter or soybean oil margarine 4 whole green onions, minced Vi teaspoon dill weed Salt and pepper to taste legg Vi cup whipping cream Grease a 2-quare baking dish. Fill with potatoes. In a small bowl combine wine, broth, butter or margarine, onions, dill weed, salt and pepper. Pour over potatoes. Cover and bake at 400°F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and uncover. In a small mixing bowl place 3 tablespoons of liquid from the potatoes. Add egg and cream and beat until mixed. Pour over potatoes and return to over for an additional 20 minutes or until top is browned. Makes 6 to 8 servings. —VDACS Very Berry Wine Dessert 2 12-ounce packages frozen red or black raspberries, thawed, juice reserved V* cup dry red wine V* teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar V* cup quick-cooking tapioca Drain raspberries.

TOM W. REESE A *i 44* \*t’ Pf PI P V P- . K, 4 PH* Nt tf.’S H(h ning as whipped dogs for 14 years.” Costello said a poll shows he and Slaughter within five percent of each other, with half those eligible to vote refusing to declare. “It’s the middle 40 percent of the vote that can shift,” he noted. It’s these voters Costello strategists intend to zero in on, sending each one five or six letters as the campaign progresses, the candidate said. Costello noted his opponent had spent thousands more, but name-recognition-wise, the race was virtually even. “I want all the joint appearances (with Slaughter) I can get,” the candidate said. Earlier that morning, Costello and Slaughter met toe-to-toe for the first time in the campaign, during a breaktot meeting in winchester with retired federal employees Calling hhwetf a “fiscal conservative" and a “moderate” people-wise, Costello said he doesn't intend to run against President Reagan. “When the president’s right, 111 vote with him; when he’s wrong, 111 vote against,” he said. Return To Rappahannock Costello said he would open a “central-area office" in the Culpeper-Fauquier County area. He said the 7th District was too big not to have the additional office location. County Must Move On Shelter (Continued from Page 1) “We shouldn’t just be a group of citizens throwing buckshot at the board of supervisors, * Patricia Saltonstallsaid. Saltonstall said she was pursuing a grant of matching funds to help with construction costs, although specifics were not revealed. Said Teddy Hannon, another county resident: “I would like to see a group of people in this county who could advocate a shelter. I’d hate to see a group of people attack the board of supervisors for this. ” The possibilities of a regional shel ter for Culpeper, Madison and Greene counties—all now looking for locations—also were discussed. Meeting attendees decided the best thing to do would be to organize a Rappahannock Chapter of the Humane Society. They set a date for its first meeting—September 6 at the Washington Fire Hall at 7:80 p.m. The group outlined plans to get literature, people and a guest speaker—Walt Lane—together for the initial meeting. “I think this group will be a lag help,” Supervisor Gilkey said. Land Gift To Library (Continued from Page 1) “You are inaugurating a new era for the Rappahannock County Library,” she said. “It is a rare happening in our county when any citizen gives land for the benefit of all of us. Since the conception and installation of the library in 1963, this is the single most important event in its history. “Your gift of land comes like an answer to our prayers," Mrs. Jamie son continued. "Our library has grown to a state of high activity which is literally bursting its walls. Now we can plan to grow normally to serve the growing demands of the county, thanks to your unprecedented generosity.” Mrs. Jamieson also thanked James W. Fletcher, who served as Mrs. Jone’s attorney in the land-gift transaction.
