vi::ia stats LT2HA3T 19, va. 23219 The Girl Who Took His Heart By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer For Robert Vergiels, his home, his life - and certainly his marriage license - remain in Michigan, but he left a slice of his heart in Amissville 46 years ago. Credit the whims of youth, a Spring away from home and a blonde from Amissville - the prettiest girl he ever saw. It seems that Mr. Vergiels was vacationing in this part of the state in the Spring of 1939 and laid eyes on a young lady whose impression would remain with him forever. And for one fleeting moment, Vergiels was smitten. Apparently, he still is. Late last month, Vergiels, a retired accountant living in Eastern Michigan, received some mail from Amissville and the sight of the return address stirred some awfully nice memories, memories which, until recently, remained locked in the heart of an adolescent. In a letter to the Rappahannock News, Vergiels recalled the incident leading up the one single moment by which he will never forget this part of Virginia. It was just after high school when Vergiels (pronnonced VerGUY-alls) and his 12 graduating classmates of Temperance High School packed up three cars and headed for Washington, D. C., on a senior trip. Along the way, they stopped for the night of May 31 at the Lombardy Cabins after having dined at the Mountain View Tea Room. We’ll let Vergiels take it from there. “And then it happened,” Ver(Continued on Page 10) Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner MISS VIRGINIA, KIMBERLY JOHNSON, waves to the crowd in Flint Hill Thursday evening, a crowd that turned out for the Flint Hill Firemen’s Parade. Miss Johnson was the grand marshal of the event. More Photos Page 14. County Hires Administrator A secretary to the Rappahannock County zoning administrator has this week been named deputy administrator. Sandra Brown was appointed by the Rappahannock County Supervisors Monday. The position was established to fill a vacancy created when Building Inspector Emiel Smet, who accepted the additional job as zoning administrator, left for vacation. In that time, the county has no au thorized official to act in that capacity, delaying some local land transfers. “Apparently, there are some people who are pretty upset,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the Board of Supervisors. “I don’t blame them,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. Mrs. Brown was not present at the meeting. Her appointment is conditional upon her receiving counsel from the commonwealth’s attorney. Luke said the situation was becoming “sort of an emergency. We re quire (landowners) to get approval (before a sale) but then we don’t have anybody to approve” the plats. Luke said the county could be held legally accountable if landowners missed a closing deadline because of the vacancy. “I’d say there’s potential liability,” Luke told the board. Supervisor Lane suggested the county hire a full-time zoning administrator. “I think that planning is critical to Rappahannock,” he said. County Endures Insurance Woes The Rappahannock County government is insured to the teeth. At least temporarily. County Supervisors Monday found little relief in their effort to buy a single policy for all their coverage, despite hiring a Richmond consultant to do just that. At their regular monthly meeting at the courthouse Monday, Supervisors were again left carrying two policies, one from the Clement Insurance Agency of Culpeper and one through the Virginia Municipal League. Neither policy is exactly what the county wanted, apparently. When benefits were reduced in a policy carried through Clement, Supervisors bought a second policy through the VML to cover those voids. However, Alan Thornton, a consultant with the Industrial Insurance Management Corporation of Richmond, told Supervisors on Monday that he has been given a verbal commitment that Clements can supply a policy. None, however, was set in writing. Said Supervisor Nelson Lane, “I’d love to go with the local man” but “he hasn’t given us the (proper) representation.” (Please see Page 18) The Trashman Knows His Trash By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock Staff Writer Del Price knows his trash. He’s made a job of it these last couple of months. For instance, did you know that Rappahannock residents dispose of more trash than the national average? Del does. Or, did you know that the dump near Flint Hill is the most heavily-used dumpster in the county? Del knows that, too. Why does Del Price know these things? He’s made it his business- and the county’s - to research it. Price is chairman of a volunteer group which assigned itself to the duty of finding a site at which the county’s trash can be disposed. Since it was learned that the county’s landfill would have to he closed, disposing of the approximately 14 tons of garbage a day from this county be-1* came a mountain of a headache. The landfill is expected to close by late April of next year. The problem is still not solved, but at least a few answers have surfaced, he told Rappahannock County Supervisors Monday. Price said he expects to return to the September board meeting with a final recommendation. He listed the options available to the county. A plant in Harrisonburg which burns trash from other localities and converts it to energy to produce steam for James Madison University can handle up to 20 tons of trash a day from Rappahannock at a cost of about $14 per ton. But that plant operates just 11 months each year, using the 12th (Please see Page 18) WSA To Administer Grant By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Virginia Water Project Inc. $6,000 grant for electrical upgrading assistance to low-income home owners in the Sperryville Sewage System project a ea was received by the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority at its meeting on Aug. 1. The WSA will administer the grant by using a basic income survey to choose up to 10 homeowners who qualify for assistance. An individual homeowner whose house needs electrical upgrading before a septic pump can be installed can receive a maximum of $600. Besides meeting the income requirements, owners have to be living in the home to qualify. “The next step is for us to conduct surveys of all the households we think are potential households to receive the assistance - in this case, the income survey,” said Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the RappahannockRapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper. WSA Chairman Bob Dennis asked Cilimberg if the grant was limited to 10 households. “Do we have $6,000 to allocate, so that if we can figure out a way to give assistance to 12 or 14 families we could?” asked Dennis. Cilimberg replied that if more than 10 qualifying households were found, the Virginia Water Project would consider approving more funds. Cilimberg said that a homeowner will be required to have an electrician’s estimate of the work needed. The Virginia Water Project will determine which home owners qualify for assis tance using the survey results and th< electricians’ estimates. Roy Jenkins, an electrician whi works part time in the county, at tended the meeting to ask questions af ter he made some electrical inspection for Sperryville residents. He said tha none of the six to eight homes he ha< inspected would need $600 worth o work done. ‘We have got to meet the federal and state requirements.’ —Dennis Jenkins is an industrial electriciai who does electrical work in the are; during his spare time. He told th< WSA members that he had been callec by home owners in Sperryville who re ceived letters advising them that theii homes’ electrical systems do not meet the standards needed for septic pumps. “The letters I’ve read, and i seems to be a standard letter, didn’ say why they were turned down,” Jen kins said. “I have checked two place: that I can’t see anything wrong.” He said that he also checked seve ral others that will need work. Jenkins asked that the WSA fine answers to questions about what kinc of pump will be used for each house ant other requirements. WSA membei Carson Johnson said that the prelimi nary inspection of the houses was dont i two years ago by Buchart-Hom, a Williamsburg engineering firm. ) “As they went around, they - weren’t able to get in some of the - places and really see exactly what they 5 had,” Johnson said. “Since they l couldn’t get in, they could only say that 1 some of the places might need electrif cal upgrading. ” Dennis said that some of the information could be wrong, but that an electrician will have to judge whether or not a house’s system will pass the electrical code. “That brings up another question,” said Jenkins. “Who will have the final say on whether or not someone needs electrical upgrading if I say as an electrician that they don’t need any work?” Dennis replied that the question 1 would have to be answered later: “We 1 are building this project primarily with federal grant monies, and we’re going to have to satisfy whoever we satisfy when the EPA inspects it,” Dennis said. “My guess is that it will be the county electrical inspector.” Cilimberg said that work could u have been done on some of the houses ; since the survey was done. He said - that an answer to Jenkins’ questions s would be found as soon as possible. “We have a lot of letters out there and a lot of people who think that they have to need to have something done or are I wondering what needs to be done, and I all I can answer to that is what’s in the summary statement (of the engineering survey) that says that there (Please see Page 18) County Shows Slow Growth Rappahannock County showed the slowest increase in growth of any of the five surrounding counties since the 1980 census was taken, according to figures released this week by the Rappahannock- Rapidan Planning District. Within the county, estimates show that the population increased less than 1%. Rappahannock was said to contain 6,093 persons in 1980 and 6,100 in the current, “provisional” figures supplied by Tayloe Murphy Institute Demographics Studies Center. That growth represents an increase of 0.5%. However, the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget Projections predicts that by 1985, some 6,400 persons will live in Rappahannock County, and that the population will reach 7,000 by the year 1990. It was estimated that the local population dipped to a four-year low of 5,900 in 1982. Elsewhere in the planning district, which includes Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange counties, the population rose from 92,897 at the 1980 census to an estimated 98,000 in 1984. The biggest rate of growth was seen in Fauquier where the population rose some 3,400 persons in the last four years, from 35,889 to an estimated 39,300, a 9.5% increase. Fauquier is the most populated county in the district. It is estimated that Fauquier will remain the largest county in the district in 1985, reaching a population of 40,400 and balloon to 46,100 by 1990. Culpeper, the second most populated county in the area, saw its population increase from 22,620 in 1980 to 23,200 last year. It is estimated that Culpeper will increase to a population of 26,900 by 1990. Orange County is the third largest county in the district, and the population there is expected to reach 19,800 in 1985 and expand to 22,000 in 1990. Orange boasted a population of 18,063 in the 1980 census. Madison County, with a 1980 census count of 10,232 persons, is expected to reach 10,800 in 1985 and reach 11,600 five years later. McFarlane Named Editor Paul McFarlane, former news editor at the Shenandoah Valley - Herald in Woodstock, was this week named editor of the Rappahannock News. McFarlane, 28, is a 1979 graduate of James Madison University and has been with the Valley-Herild for the last six years. During that time, the ValleyHerald twice won the Virginia Press Association Sweepstakes award among the state’s large weekly newspapers. The sweepstakes award is presented to the newspaper which is judged to be the best among its competitors. McFarlane replaces Jon Klaverkamp who has served as editor of the Rappahannock News since January. A native of Long Island, N. Y., McFarlane has been working for newspapers since 1972 when he was sports editor of his school newspaper at Patchogue High School. He continued his newspaper career while at James Madison University, joining the staff of The Breeze, the campus semiweekly newspaper. He joined the staff as a sportswriter in 1975 and was named sports editor a year later. The Breeze is generally considered to be one of the best college newspapers in the country. While in college, McFarlane worked as an sports intern for the Harrisonburg Daily News-Recard. McFarlane joined the Valley - Herald in September 1979 as a general assignment news reporter, regularly covering the Shenandoah County School Board and two town councils. In addition, he wrote sports stories, features, columns and had photographs published in the Valley-Herald. He won VPA writing awards for sports writing, feature writing and for a series of stories. As news editor, McFarlane was part of the a team to redesign the Valley-Herald in October of 1984. “I think the Rappahannock News has the potential to be one of the best small weekly newspapers in Virginia.” McFarlane said. “In fact, I’ve been telling the staff that we can immediately produce a newspaper of that quality.” McFarlane said he plans to include more feature material, beef up the content of the editorial page to feature more local copy, including columns submitted by local writers. “We’ve also hired Greg Turner to shoot photographs,” said McFarlane, “So I’m hoping that we can be a more visually pleasing newspaper.” McFarlane is single and is currently commuting from Woodstock but plans to move to Rappahannock County. I«s:> I 1 Paul McFarlane Turner New Photographer Greg Turner The Rappahannock News now has a watchful eye to record life in the county. Greg Turner, a 1978 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, has accepted a position as part-time photographer for the Rappahannock News. It is only fitting. Turner began his photography career right here in Rappahannock, shooting photos for the high school yearbook. Bom in Michigan, Turner moved to Rappahannock when he was 12 and, in his words, “grew up here.” After graduation Turner enlisted in the Navy where, as a navigator, he attained the rank of E-4, Petty Officer 3rd class. Following his honorable discharge four years later, Turner returned to Virginia and worked for Heritage Studios, a portrait company in Richmond where he lived for two years. Tiring of the city life, Turner came home and currently lives in Gid Brown Hollow. Turner returned to Rappahannock “for the beauty, of course,” he says, adding that life here is “not the fast-paced life as in Richmond; it’s more laid back.” The beauty of the county is but one reason for Turner to return to Rappahannock. Turner, 25, is engaged to Laurie Reville, a social worker with the Rappahannock Welfare Office. They have set a September 14 wedding date. In the meantime, Turner will be photographing the people and places that make this Rappahannock County. “Nature shooting is a hobby of mine,” Turner said. “That’s what I’d really like to do to make money.”

Durrette says he will consider a plan to systematically “terminate” incompetent public school teachers. But the 47-year-old candidate noted such a plan would not be a campaign issue because the removal procedure is rife with “technical” questions he isn’t yet prepared to address. “I know that it’s a problem,” Mr. Durrette said of the removal procedure in an interview during a Fauquie. County Republican Committee fiind■ raiser Saturday at a 4,000-acre farm William A. Hazel and his family own near Broad Run. Mr. Durrette added he did not know “exactly what I want to propose” to tackle the problem of teacher incompetence, but said the procedure would ensure any individual being in- igated is given “due process.” The Republican candidate generally gave public school teachers high marks and stressed he was “not talking about a lot” that would be weeded from their ranks. Within the next six weeks, the Republican statewide ticket — including — Lawrence Emerson for The Rappahatmocfc News GOP gubernatorial hopeful Wyatt B.

M_£ / ^ A computer-based introduction to Writing and Reading Students have fun with pictures and games while they learn letters and sounds with a computer that talks This innovative program, developed by nationally-known educator John Henry Martin, is called Writing to Read. It utilizes the capabilities of the IBM personal computer IBM typewriters, recorders, books and games. Writing to Read combines the best technical instrumentation with the most advanced and researched educational techniques to create an effective teaching tool. It encourages imagination, builds self-confidence, and enhances a child’s basic desire to learn. The effectiveness of this program has been documented in the findings of Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey, in their evaluation of a National Demonstration Project that involved more than 20,000 children. Enrollment of children 4 to 7 is now open for the fall session. John Henry Martin GUIDED LEARNING CENTER For information and appointment, please contact: Learning Technology Institute 50 Culpeper St., Warrenton, VA 22186 (703) 347-0055 Thursday, August 22, will be fee day. Fees may be paid and students may pick up their schedules from 2 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. The first day of school will be Monday, August 26, and classes will be dismissed at 2 p.m. RCES Rappahannock County Elementary School will also begin classes on Monday, August 26. Book rental fees will be collected and textbooks issued at the elementary school on August 22 (2-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.). The fees are the same as last year, $22 for grades K3 and $32 for grades 4-7. Reading workbooks, when needed, are charged for separately. The teachers will notify parents of the amount when appropriate. Kindergarten students will be given name tags by their teachers on fee day. These will include the teacher’s name, the room number, the student’s name and the schoql bus number. Students should wear these to school the first few days. If parents are unable to come to school on fee day, they are requested to pin a name tag containing the above information to their child’s clothing the first day of school. Any parent who does not know the number of the school bus may get this information by calling the school bus shop at 987-8591. Parents are stongly urged to send their children to school on the school bus the first day. Teachers, aides, parent volunteers and administrators will be on duty to get them safely from the bus to the correct classroom. Past experience has shown that children coming on the bus adjust more quickly than those coming with a parent. It also gives them more confidence about going home on the bus. Any parents who drive their children to school on the first day of attendance should make sure that the teacher has the correct number of the bus the child is to ride in the afternoon or is aware of transportation arrangements if the child is not to ride the bus. Due to the extremely heavy work load at the beginning of the school year, no new students will be registered on fee day, on Friday, August 23, or on Monday, August 26. Students may be registered prior to and after these dates. Students who have not been properly registered by a parent or guardian should not be sent to school. When they come to register, new students should bring a copy of their birth certificate, physical examination and immunization record. The latter must be complete. Forms for the physical examination are available in the school office. Further information may be obtained by calling the elementary school at 987-8259. Miss FitzSimons Earns Award Jennifer FitzSimons, daughter of William H. FitzSimons of Flint Hill, received the top student award for the 1984-85 academic year at Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N. C., during the university’s awards and honors night. Miss FitzSimons won the award for outstanding graduating senior in French. She was both vice-president and president of the university anthropology club and a member of the French club and of Sigma Gamma Epsilon honor society. Mr. Durrette, lieutenant governor candidate John H. Chichester and attorney general candidate W. R. “Buster” O’Brien — expects to release a position paper on education. Mr. Durrette said the paper will propose a “merit pay” plan for teachers as well as school administrators. He refused to discuss the proposal in detail Saturday but said: ‘There’ll be some innovative things in that . . . It’s not just more of the same.” The proposal, he said, will re-evaluate the education budget and “we’re going to have a lot to say on how that’s spent.” Saturday’s get-together at the Hazel farm brought together some of the state’s most prominent Republicans and 300 local party faithful, who paid $25 each to eat, drink, meet the candidates and hear speeches and country music. Fauquier County GOP Chairman Jim Rich said it was the largest such gathering of Fauquier Republicans ever in the county. The rally was hosted by the Hazel family, who drew praise Saturday for their past generosity from some of Virginia’s most prominent Republicans, including former governors Mills E. Godwin Jr. and John N. Dalton, U.S. Sen. Paul Trible (R-Va.) and U.S. Rep. French Slaughter (R-Va./7th). Mr. Hazel, a Northern Virginia contractor, has long been a relatively quiet financier and confidant of state GOP leaders. Most recently he contributed his advice and money — at least $50,000 — to 8th District Congressman Stan Parris’ bid for the gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Parris pulled out of the heated race before the state nominating convention in May. Some view Mr. Hazel’s willingness to host an event for Durrette & Co. as strong evidence of the united effort" Republicans will wage to recapture the state’s top three offices this fall. “Bill’s always been a party man,” Mr. Rich said. “The party comes first.” Mr. Hazel agreed. “Sure, I supported Stan; he’s a good friend of mine and I wanted to see him elected governor ... But that wasn’t to be this time. “Now, we’ve got to get the best candidates elected.” Mr. Hazel, who along with his brother John “Til” Hazel, have planned and executed some of the largest developments in Nothem Virginia, declined to say how much money he would donate to Republican campaigns this fall. “It’ll be published,” he said. “But money’s important... We need the donations.” Also important are the more than 3,000 appointed positions Virginia’s governor fills. Those positions traditionally go to political supporters who help the governors get elected. Mr. Hazel previously served on state Labor and Safety Codes Commission, and Arabelle Arrington, of Warrenton, who also attended Saturday’s (Continued on Page 12) gillijlfcjHi ii */■-> i'r until >2?

* General District Court A request tor a second continuance of Winfred Owens Craft, Jr.’s speeding case was denied by Judge John Alexander in General District Court on Tuesday. Craft’s attorney, Doug Baumgardner, made the request on Craft’s behalf and presented a letter with Craft’s explanation for his absence in court. Craft is a lawyer in Washington, D. C., and in the letter he stated that he had to go out of town to meet a government official. Craft, who was charged with 68/55, had been granted one continuance. Judge Alexander said that Craft had known about the second court date for a month. “As a lawyer, he should realize that we can’t keep granting continuances in these cases,” Judge Alexander said. The case was then tried in Craft’s absence. State Trooper C. A. Moore testified that he was operating stationary radar on Route 211 on June 2 when he observed a vehicle coming towards him down a hill. The vehicle’s speed registered at 68 on radar, and Trooper Moore said that he paced the vehicle for a half mile at 64 miles per hour. He said that Craft’s vehicle was at the bottom of the hill when the 68 mph speed registered, and that Craft continued traveling at 68 when he reached a more level part of the road. Craft’s speedometer was one mile off according to a calibration presented to the court by Baumgardner. He argued that Craft was driving a new car, and he was going downhill. Judge Alexander found Craft guilty and fined him $26 in addition to $20 court costs. Baumgardner advised the court that Craft will be appealing the decision.

U nem ploy merit Here Reaches 4.9 Percent Some 4.9 percent of the Rappahannock County civilian work force was unemployed, according to statistics compiled through June by the Virginia Employment Commission. The labor force here totals 2,679; 2,547 were employed. In the Culpeper area, which includes Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, Orange County posted the highest unemployment rate, at 6.9 percent. Fauquier County was lowest at 3.5 percent. The unemployment rate in Virginia was 5.4 percent, while the national rate reached 7.4 percent through the period ending in June. The VEC suggested the unemployment figures may have been inflated due to the number of college graduates who joined the work force this spring. #trituartes Melissa Lee Bushrod Melissa Lee Bushrod, 12-year-old daughter of Ethel Mae Bushrod of Marshall, died Aug. 5 at her home.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc V Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Good Place To Start Let’s call this a beginning. , This newspaper hired a new editor this week, a fact that has been more than clearly documented on these pages. But if change itself breeds more changes, then the loyal readers of this small country weekly are in for some new looks in their newspaper. That is not to say the changes will be for the better or for the worse; each and every reader will be left to make that assessment. Although cosmetic changes are sure to develop and editorial policy may differ from the past, there are some basic journalistic principles which are absolute and are in need of reaffirmation. The first and foremost duty of any newspaper, whether it be a big-city daily or a small-town weekly, is to inform the public, to provide information to its readers about their community, their government, their neighbors. That information must be free and clear of the binding strings of personal beliefs and practices of the reporter, the editor, the general manager or anyone else connected with the newspaper. That information, provided it is presented in a manner of feste befitting the community, has no conscience. The newspaper has no responsibility to protect the supervisor’s wife, the sheriffs son, the mayor’s best Mend. Information, pure and simple. The newspaper must dive deeper than the meeting agenda, deeper than the press releases. The newspaper must continue to ask the single most important question it has at its disposal: Why. Without that avenue, the newspaper is simply a public relations tool for those in power. Life in this society cannot function properly when it is gagged with such restrictions. The stories that will appear in this paper will be fair and as honest as is humanly possible. If there is a story to be written, it will be written. And, at all costs, it must remain credible. A newspaper - any newspaper-has no greater defense than credibility. Without that, the newsprint you accept into your home every week is good only for lining the floor of the doghouse. But by maintaining credibility, readers can remain assured that what they read is well-researched, thorough, unbiased. On its news pages, a newspaper cannot champion a cause, cannot choose sides. Good newspaper people cringe and become overtly defensive when they hear a reader proclaim, “Well, you can’t belie \ e everything you read.” It is a serious indictment of the performance of that newspaper. Too, people in the public eye often take a “kill-the-messenger” approach toward an aggressive newspaper. But that is to be expected when the newspaper takes an active part in the community. Will this newspaper miss a story? Yes. Will this newspaper make a mistake? Most certainly. Will this newspaper make every effort to correct its mistake? Absolutely. We have to. Without that effort, we lose the essential credibility necessary to cover the next story. But a newspaper, especially a community newspaper, carries an added obligation to its readers. It must be entertaining. It must be something worth taking home, something worth talking about, something worth sharing. It is with this spirit that we begin. We want our readers to feel like they are a part of this newspaper. We want them to contribute, whether that contribution be the written word, photographs, artwork, story ideas, letters. We want you to feel like responding. We want to make you respond. While our news stories will not take sides on an issue, the editorial space of this newspaper will attempt to render an opinion. Applaud it, curse it, argue with it. Please, don’t ignore it. Rappahannock Heritage Greg Turner photographed Rag Mountain. Frustrated Over Leniency To the editor: As I write this, my sister-in-law lies in a hospital bed, the victim of a hit-and-run driver, while bicycling in Nevada this June. Your article about Judge Shore Robertson overturning the DWI conviction in this week’s paper astounded me. I can now understand the frustration that so many law-enforcement people feel when cases are dropped due to technicalities. This is not the first time that Judge Shore Robertson has demonstrated an incredibly lenient attitude toward drunk drivers, but this latest article prompted me to respond. An intoxicated driver is a person whose reflexes are not working well, operating a potentially maiming machine. It doesn’t matter whether the driver is driving erratically or “just speeding” - as was the case in this instance. It ip an absurdity to expect Rappahannock’s police force to personally escort intoxicated drivers to Fauquier, Culpeper or Warren County hospitals for blood tests at all hours of the night. I hope that Judge Robertson, Mr. Keller and Mr. Jonathan C. Thacher never have to see their sisters or wives or children suffer the way that Judy has. But I want all three of these men to know that it is precedents like this that lead to our society’s casual attitude about drinking and driving; precedents like this that caused my sister-inlaw to have 100 blood transfusions, a spinal injury, shattered pelvis and left side, a colostomy, skin grafting and seven operations in the last two months. Washington DIANE WOOD Concerned About ‘Critic’s’ Letter To the editor: The letter last week by Peter B. Holley was of interest to me, primarily because I have met Mr. Holley and have received several personal letters from him. His letter to you followed the general pattern of letters to me, in that while he makes some valid points, he intersperses them with his own unsubstantiated view of history and Letters To The Editor unjustified conclusions. I think it is important for anyone else who was interested in his letter to know that Mr. Holley is not primarily a critic of rebellion, but a promoter of a peculiar religious cult. There are hints of this in his letter to you, in his reference to the “feminine Spirit of God” and the statement that man shall soon “learn... (by 1995).” In his letters to me and in some printed material he included, he “rode roughshod” over the Bible, picking verses out of context to support his theory that we are about to receive a new visitation from heaven in the person of a black female member of the Godhead who will essentially pick up where Jesus left off. I took the position that he was sincere, but sincerely wrong. I took the time to write two personal answers to him in which I pointed out the impossibility in several places of his interpretation fitting the original language of the New Testament. I also pointed out some errors of fact in his understanding of the writing of the New Testament and subsequent translation - errors which he used to support some of his contentions. His response in additional letters to me has been either to ignore the evidence I have sent him or to indicate that the Bible is “wrong” in those places. I refrained from dealing with this matter in our regular weekly column, both because I did not wish to embarrass Peter and because I did not wish to give him any undeserved publicity. However, I feel that his public letter to you has left me no choice but to write this letter as a warning to those who might be in a position to be misled. TOM MARSHALL Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship Response To ‘Critic’ To the editor: In response to the letter to the editor on July 25, “Critic of Rebellion.” While I am not necessarily an advocate of revolution as such, I must take issue with some of the statements made in that letter. “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s...” was quoted as a God-given epithet. It was dogmatic lines such as these which gave credulity to the “divine right of kings.” The belief being if one were powerful enough, then it naturally followed that he was right. The doctrine was that all power came from God, hence a powerful person had divine right and God was on his side. I deny it! Iran today believes and practices this divine right of kings and Hitler revelled in it. Would we be as they? I guarantee that if any one religion were that powerful we would. Iran is as good an example as any. It has ever been so down through the ages until the birth of our grand Constitution which retires gods and religions from politics and gives it to the people. Were we to have waited in 1776 for divine intervention we would today be under British rule. It was remarked that we should have waited for an evolutionary change. If our writer means a natural change, that is just what took place. Rebellion is not of Lucifer, but of free hearts demanding a better life on earth. If Lucifer told mother Eve to rebel when she ate the apple of the tree of knowledge, she should have eaten a whole bushel. Knowledge and the freedom to express it is a basic human right which oftimes must be fought for and won. So it has ever been and is being challenged in South Africa even as I write. All have the right to speak what we know and even what we think we know. We have the right to err. Our honest contributor of last week does not know Lucifer to be the author of rebellion. He has only an ancient Hebrew account of such and he believes it. Believing does not make it so. There is no evidence whatever that any gods or devils ever interfered in the affairs of human kind. . .except in folk tales of witches, bogies, gremlins, prophets, wizards and demons. I, by reason, must rest my faith upon sterner stuff. Aside from greed and human misunderstanding, if one really wishes to see the germ behind much of history’s armed conflicts, you needn’t look to the devil. Look to intolerance, orthodox religious zeal and prejudice. Take a long look at the crusades where Christians murdered Turks and Jews. Read with horror of the inquisitions where the church was behind the butchery of millions. All in God’s name. . .no Lucifer. . .it was the aristocracy of the air. That so-called God-inspired, “I’m right and you’re wrong” attitude. All religions agree on just one point and that is that all other religions are liars. Methinks they know each other well. Do you know that each time a Christian army prepares to go into battle that a chaplain leads a prayer to entice God to help win this fray because he knows they are in the right? That they are right is assumed by both sides and each pray the same prayer. (A sort of “My God can lick your God” approach.) Do you think that any omnipotent being would stoop so low as to take sides and aid in such an affair? Yet, if we believe the Old Testament stories, we find nothing pleased God so much as a lot of blood and guts. I deny it! As narrow-minded and self-righteous as our pilgrim fathers were, they believed all other faiths to be false and that somehow God favored them. Whatever orthodox church you join feels the same way. This is why we have religious denominations. If all religions are wrong but one, why not make it 100 percent and include them all? The leaders of the American Revolution were not using Bibles to guide them. In fact, Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and others did not believe the Bible stories at all and Jefferson and Paine wrote book? to that effect. Those great founding fathers of ours also saw to it that gods were purposely left out of our Constitution. This has been to their everlasting credit. I find it laughable (or sad) that anyone could believe the 13 colonies broke the will of God to rebel for freedom, then turn right around and boldly state that God was fully behind the movement once it was underway. Quite liberal of the Almighty to admit she was mistaken. While reason prohibits me from believing that Jonah was ever swallowed by a whale, common sense tells me I must agree with perhaps the most important issue of that letter. We must continue, together, to search for a lasting peace on this planet. The Golden Rule doesn’t have to come of a god to be a good rule. It is good all by itself. . .be it written by you or me or even the devil. It is self-evident. As much as I abhor any deployment of force or power (armed or otherwise), I must believe that truths and freedoms are worth fighting for. DICK PIERSON Amissville Pa"l | McFarlane | Stick’em up. Well, no, not really. That’s just a New York joke. Actually, it’s not that funny in New York, either. You have to remember, New Yorkers are the ones who look forward to driving on Interstate 96.1 guess that feeling of being an absolute cut-throat makes them feel at home. But tell a New Yorker to stick’em up and you’ll find yourself in a fist fight, which is usually followed by somebody running home with a bloody nose. In New York, that’s called a good time. And that’s probably why I left New Greetings York for the Shenandoah Valley 10 years ago. It took me a short time before I realized what living in the Valley is like. You can leave your keys in your car without worrying about somebody stealing your wheels. You don’t have to dead-bolt the front door to your house. At the bowling alley, you don’t have to leave your street shoes as a deposit for the rentals. Here, you don’t have to worry when you pass someone alongside the road. That person will just wish you a good afternoon and not say, “stick’em up,” which is usually followed by a fist fight and somebody running away with a bloody nose. Without sounding too much like a resume, I first came to the Shenandoah Valley to attend what was then called Madison College. While in Harrisonburg, I worked the sports desk at the Daily News-Record, and it was there that I learned how to spell Rappahannock. Gary Michael, who is now the sports information director at JMU, was on the staff of the Daily News-Record and taught me how to spell the home of the Golden Panthers. But I obviously couldn’t stay at JMU forever. Schools officials there threw a degree my way in 1979 and I went to work at the Shenandoah Valley-Herald, a weekly newspaper in Woodstock, two mountaintops to the west, where I worked until last week. I resigned because the editor of the Valley-Herald quit to start his own competing paper. Rather than risk competing with a friend, my job-hunting landed me here in Little Washington. My apartment/house-hunting, however, kept me lead-footed in Woodstock, about 45 miles and 75 minutes from here. Nice. My little blue Datsun, some five years and 118,000 miles old, surely can do without that aggravation. M” friends back in Woodstock kid me about moving to a place even smaller than Shenandoah. To paraphrase Lewis Grizzard, an Atlanta columnist, my friends told me that Rappahannock wasn’t near nothin’ but the ground. Somebody went so far as to say Rappahannock is the only county in the state without a stoplight. I knew better. I stopped for the light along U.S. 522. If you count the lights coming and going from the construction site, we’ve got two stoplights now. I knew Rappahannock was horse country. The last time I was on a horse was when some camp counselor told me the best way to get over being thrown was to get right back on the horse. Manure, I said. The best way to get over being thrown was never to again set foot near a horse. Besides, during my sentence at day camp I was more concerned about chasing Kathy Snead than I was posting to the proper diagonal. Kathy was the best-built 12year-old in camp that summer, and is today a source of fine memories. In a year or two when I look back on my stay here at the News, I’ll probably remember the 45-mile commute in my Datsun, that car which has run forever without giving me much trouble except for some wear around the body, wear you have to accept when you roll up the mileage. I’m hoping to find a woman like that some day. Not only is my car a source of transportation, it is fast becoming my place of residence. Papers, notepads, fast-food milkshakes, banana peels are roosting on the floor in the front. Slowly, it’s starting to look like a construction site in Front Royal. Already it smells a lot like Front Royal. This is a time when it’s easy to say how wonderful life will be here in this new place, how much I will enjoy working here, wish you were here and send money. So I won’t try to imagine what it will be like here. More times than not, when I try to project outcomes of things I can’t control, my anticipation normally causes me to be disappointed in the long run. That’s why Super Bowls are so boring. So let’s not get into that, other than to say that I’ve already met a few of you, and you haven’t run me out of town yet. For the time being, I’ll take that as a small, but terribly important, victory. So, stick'em up. And wave hello.

From Both Barrels - Assumptions By GEORGE BOWLES For the past decade and a half, so-called “Virginians For” organizations have been regular fixtures in the Commonwealth’s statewide and national political campaigns. Since the early 1970s each election has seen the formation of such groups as Virginians for Byrd, Virginians for Robb and Virginians for Warner. In this year’s race for governor, both Republican Wyatt Durrette and Democrat Gerald Baliles have assembled impressive “Virginians For” rosters. These independent groups function outside the party system, and while they will support one member of a party’s ticket, they may, and frequently do, actively oppose other candidates on that same ticket. They are solely concerned with the election of individuals and generally have no interest in partisan loyalties. How these organizations came about and what their functions seem to be provide an interesting commentary on the politics of the Old Dominion. Their origin is rooted in a basic assumption. That is, in order to have, a chance of winning, a candidate must establish reasonably conservative credentials. Beyond that, he or she must also establish credibility as an electable candidate among people who are attuned to Virginia politics and who are themselves respected both around the state and in their local communities. Hence, from the state’s vast pool of independent conservatives (and some loosely attached party people) the candidates scramble to assemble as lengthy a list as possible of the influential Virginians. They will become the core of the candidate’s “Virginians For” group. That such a practice has become virtually institutionalized says a great deal about the anemic condition of both the formal Democratic and Republican party structures in the state. In hard but unfortunate fact, approximately one-third of the Virginia electorate rejects both parties. Indeed, they come close to rejecting politics altogether. The only way they might be persuaded to come to the polls and vote is for someone they trust — someone whom they feel is “sound thinkin” — to vouch for a candidate in persuasive enough terms to stir the voters. The exhortations of party workers would draw only a yawn from most of them. Many actually feel tha involvement in party politics is beneath their dignity. But the name of a respected neighbor or personally known local official on a “Virginians For” list is known to often bring them out on Election Day. In a very real senese, the emergence of the “Virginians For” groups is a throw-back to the state’s Byrd Organization past. It also reflects the patterns of voter motivation which are, in large part, a legacy of that past. In the heyday of the Byrd Organization, at a suitable time before each election the “word” would be quietly passed to the courthouse as to who had the organization’s “nod.” That word has then communicated to the voters in the hinterlands by the vast informal grapevine of known Byrd loyalists. Those voters could then go to the polls and vote with complete confidence that whomever they were voting for was solidly committed to keeping the price of tobacco up, the blacks down and the state debt-free. Much, although obivously not all, of this is involved in the use of the present-day “Virginians For” organizations. There is general acceptance of the proposition that neither the Democratic nor the Republican party can draw out enough voters to assure victory on Election Day. There is also a belief that vast reservoirs of voters, left to their own devices, remain apathetic about the candidates and issues. As in the Byrd days, they want someone to tell them what to do. And finally, there is the belief that those voters will go to the polls and vote if they get the “word” from someone whom they know, trust and whom they regard as “sound thinking.” Delivering that word is the job of the “Virginians For” organizations. Thus we have the present scramble by each candidate for governor to put together the strongest possible “Virginians For” list, reaching as deeply as possible into each community in the Commonwealth. Of course, the difference now is that, with everybody putting out the “word” through his own “Virginians For” group, each candidate must also work to convince the voters that the supporters on his list are “sounder thinking” than those on the other guy’s.

Day ADVERTISING ISN’T EVERYTHING There will always be some sellers who are unhappy because THEIR home is not receiving enough individual advertising. This may come as a surprise, but it’s not advertising that will sell your home. It’s the Realtor that will sell it. Theoretically, your house could be advertised every day with troops of lookers parading through for a free tour without generating a single qualified buyer. That’s probably not what you want. In fact, studies have shown that more sales of house A are generated through ads on house B and C than through ads on A itself. That means that your agent’s overall advertising is more important than blitz advertising of your house in particular. The important value of real estate advertising is to get the prospect INTO the agency. Once there, they will look at many listings and select what’s best for them to look at. This may or may not be the one advertised Even more important than advertising, is the correct pricing of your home. Any house will sell at the right price. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA. 22747. Phone: 6753400 We’re here to help.

Remember that — parents of small babies, when you go out to dinner —look for those twirling, ceiling fans! Richard and Pat Helmer spent their weekend in the flatlands of Greensboro, N. C., visiting and sleeping in the dorm with their daughter Debbie. Debbie, who will be a sophomore at Greensboro College next semester, is employed there this summer. Pat said she nearly died of the hot temperature in the dorm at night, Modern Johnny Appleseed Billy Bohan, the state highway department’s assistant environmentalist for Culpeper District, plays Johnny Appleseed. He often picks thistle heads loaded with larvae from weevil infested plots and totes them in bags to unconquered fields. But the highway department is not ready to give the public permission to harvest the helpful insect from its test plots, at least not officially. Scott Bywaters, Culpeper District’s environmental manager, explained that weevil gatherers could pose safety hazards on the shoulders and median strips. “At this point in time,” he said, weevil gathering will not be allowed on highway rights-ofway. “But I’m not saying it isn’t down the road,” he added. However, weevils are not respectful of property lines and stray from the test plots to adjacent farm fields where the infested thistle heads are ripe for ;he picking. Weevil hunters should ask ;he field owner’s permission. ine insects leave tell-tale signs. Eggs of the thistle head weevil, only 1/16-inch long, are deposited on the underside of the plant heads in early May. The eggs are covered with brownish plant material as protection against sun and predators and appear as little brown specks. In an infested thistle, as the flower begins to dry, the center portion that goes to seed develops a tuft or protrusion that extends beyond the rest of the flower head. If the flower heads are pulled open, larvae feeding on the seeds are visible inside. A field with just a few thistles showing weevil signs should be bypassed for a few years to allow the insect to become firmly established. But infested flower heads can be cut from sites thick with tuft protruding thistles. Mr. Bywaters suggests asking the Virginia Tech Extension office for help in obtaining weevils. Lab specialist Tom McAvoy from Virginia Tech’s quarantine lab at Price’s Fork reported the weevils are sold at $1 apiece. Adult thistle head weevils, Rhinocyllus conicus, should be released in May in time to breed and lay eggs. They are placed by hand, 10 at a time, on the seed head of the thistle. A single release should include approximately 70 females and 30 males. The rosette weevil, Trichosirocalus horridus, is released in mass when the plants have reached the rosette stage. Recently, Virginia Tech shipped weevils to Colorado, Montana, Kansas and Argentina. Land owners interested in getting adult weevils for a release should contact Dr. Loke Kok, Virginia Tech entomologist and weevil researcher. Mr. McAvoy emphasized that weevils by themselves aren’t always the solution to a thistle problem. “Don’s overgraze. Thistles love overgrazed pastures. But a good stand of grass will give thistles stiff competition.” Not every farmer is satisfied with the job weevils do as thistle controllers. Nic Kortlandt of Rectortown tried a weevil experiment nine years ago. he released 25 in a pasture bordering a neighbor’s thistle-ridden fields, hoping the insects would disregard property lines. Asked how the experiment is progressing, Mr. Kortlandt said he’s disappointed. His population of weevils hasn’t increased enough to keep down the thistle population. He noted, however, that landowners on either side of his pastures aren’t doing anything to control thistle infestation. Seeds from their thistles blow into Mr. Kortlandt’s fields while his weevils fly into theirs to dine on thick patches of the noxious weed. “I’ve had trouble keeping the weevils established,” MR. Kortlandt said. But he noted the release on his land nine years ago included only the head feeding weevil, adding he may have better success with a two-pronged attack, including the rosette weevil, in his arsenal. Although weevils haven’t been a complete success yet in halting the spread of thistles, Mr. Kortlandt is sticking with biological controls.

When the Helmers arrived home from Greensboro on Sunday night, they found, much to their dismay, that their gate was open, and their five horses had been off and hitting every mjo-scm garden in the area. Luckily, a nice neighbor herded them into her pasture and kept them from munching any more of the other neighbors’ tasty treats. Pat was also relieved that the pack stuck together! Tears were shed at the airport as Gaby Ringleff, the Helmers’ foreign exchange student, left July 9 to go back to Germany. She will be missed by her American friends in Rappahannock County. — AUF WIEDERSEHEN!!!

Food Of The Samurai Grown In Amissville Rappahannock News Photo"! Reynolds SHIITAKE ARE TRADITIONALLY sold dry for oriental cooking. Here, Richard Ulf proceeds to dry them. He says he has been able to sell all he can produce to tourists passing through Amissville. By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newt Special Writer Centuries ago, Japanese peasants searched their woodlands for wild mushrooms growing on fallen trees. Called “shiitake” or “mushroom of the shii trees,” the fungus was such a delicacy that Samurai warriors living near a forest where it grew would claim the whole forest as their own, forbidding anyone else to cut the mushrooms from the logs. Eventually, both warriors and peasants discovered that they could drag a shiitake log home and it would continue to bear for several years. By the early 20th century, Japanese scientists figured out how to cultivate the mushroom on any “shii” log, and by 1940, shiitake was Japan’s major agricultural export. For years an ingredient in Japanese and Korean cooking served in American cities, the gourmet cooking boom of the 1970s and ’80s has created a sizable market for the mushrooms all over this country. In Amissville, a retired engineer is hoping to fill local demand with mushrooms grown on logs cut from his small oak woods. “I got the idea years ago from an article in the Washington Post" said Richard Ulf. “I read that mushroom cultivation required oak logs, shade, water and labor. I knew we had all those things, and I made up my mind to try raising the mushrooms here at Merymede.” The Ulfs had been vacationing at a small cabin by a spring in Amissville for 30 years while Richard traveled with the Marine Corps and worked in Washington, D. C. The small farm had belonged to Margaret Ulfs parents who bought the property years ago, but never lived there. In the four years since the Ulfs have retired, they have embarked upon a lifetime of projects. There’s a new, larger house across the road. There’s a vineyard where they grow chardonnay grapes for wine, the mushroom lot, some beef cattle and several rooms full of furniture made by Richard. And it doesn’t appear that boredom will strike any time soon. Anyone raising cattle or grapes, or mowing and caring for several acres.or working in cabinetmaking knows that these are not hobbies for the inactive. The mushroom operation, too, is not one where Ulf can sit back and let nature set the spore where it will. This may have worked for a few Samurai, but the provision of mushrooms to a commercial market requires a steady and predictable supply. “We’re not geared up yet for large scale marketing,” said Richard. “In fact, I was quite surprised to find out that we could sell everything we raised here just by a sign out on the highway.” The total output right now is nine or 10 pounds, and travelers on 211 have been thrilled to carry away Richard’s total harvest each week. With a thousand oak logs inoculated, the Ulfs are hoping for a much larger harvest next year. And to some extent they control the timing of their shiitake crop, Richard said. “We’ve found that by selecting logs to soak on a rotating schedule, we can predict the mushroom harvest. In fact, we know that a log will bear about a year after it is inoculated with the spore and a week after we soak it thoroughly in water for 24 hours.” Like Bryan Hiromoto of Maui, Hawaii, and Torben Humie of Cubjac, France, the Ulfs subscribe to the Shiitake News, a publication of the Minnesota Forest Resource Center. Through the News, they learn of developments in the young science, find out about workshops and seminars and identify other growers. They visited William Hale of nearby Madison, who is now marketing dozens of pounds of shiitake a week. From Hale and the Shiitake News the Ulfs were convinced of the importance of soaking the logs to control moisture. One couple in Wisconsin, in earlier days of shiitake research, threw all their logs in the pond and rounded them up with a rowboat. Hale, a dairy farmer, had a better way. He soaked his logs in a hog-scalding tub, a few at a time. The Ulfs use a large tub, too. This is just one of the steps in a laborintensive process resulting in the valuable shiitake. Ulf explained the steps. “The trees are cut in February. You could cut them any time in winter when the sap is down,” he said. In March, or any time after the logs are ready, inoculation begins. Shallow holes are drilled, the spore “planted” in the holes and a cellulose plug inserted to protect the spore. The Ulfs stack their logs in various ways. One method, used for centuries by the Japanese, is to lean them against a long horizontal post. UI didn’t like this so much,” said Ulf. “Then you lose part of one of the ends.” Now Ulf stacks them in square piles with four logs in each layer, only the ends touching. After a year or so, Ulf can begin harvesting. He soaks the log for 24 hours and, in about a week, he harvests the mature mushrooms. During the fruiting period, he tries to protect the logs from direct sunlight and wind. “After the harvest,” Ulf explained, “the log rests for 60 to 90 days and can be soaked and harvested again.” One log can produce for several years until the log is completely decomposed, a side effect of fungus growth. At $5 to $10 a pound, shiitake is a profitable sideline and, like the grapes, a retirement project for the Ulfs. The Forest Resource Center, publishers of the Shiitake News, is also promoting shiitake culture as a forestry product, a tool and extra cash crop in the management of a wood operation. And researchers writing for the News see shiitake as a partial answer to the diversification needed on struggling midwestern farms. “The funny thing is,” Ulf chuckled, “until I got into this I didn’t even know what shiitake tasted like. Now I’m completely sold.” The Samurai, and some modem shiitake enthusiasts since, claimed curative powers for the dark fungus. Ulf makes no such claims. “I just like the taste,” he said. Slaughterhouse protest set HARRISONBURG — An animal rights group will hold a Labor Day protest of Rocco Enterprises’ new lamb slaughtering facility in the northern Rockingham County town of Timberville, organizers said Friday. Sean O’Gara of Farm Animal Rights Movement, a Washington, D.C.-based group, said two earlier protests were postponed when the slaughterhouse failed to open when originally planned. Rocco spokeswoman Gail Price said delays in equipment Klan plans Bristol parade 1 As a Ku Klux Klan group plans a parade for next Saturday in Bristol, observers of the white-supremacy organization say the Klan probably has fewer than 200 members in Virginia, and its popularity is waning. “The Klan has been relatively inactive in Virginia,” said Ira Gissen, regional director in Richmond for the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation League. “For all intents and purposes, it has all but disappeared from the state.” Klan leaders from North Carolina, however, say they have active groups in Virginia and membership is growing. “We’ve got two units up there,” said Glenn Miller, leader of the White Patriot Party, formerly the Carolina Knights of the KKK. “We send about 5,000 copies of our newspaper to Virginia each month.” The organization planning Saturday’s rally is the Christian Knights of the KKK, a group led by Virgil Griffin and based in North Carolina. Griffin was among nine Klansmen and Nazis acquitted of civil rights violations in a 1984 trial for the 1979 deaths of five anti-Klan demonstrators at a rally in Greensboro. Prison debate rages RICHMOND — Charges and counter-charges are flying between Republican candidate for governor Wyatt Durrette and his Democratic opponent, Gerald Baliles, over who can better solve Virginia’s prison problems. Mr. Durrette said in a series of statewide news confer ences Thursday that prisons under the current Democratic administration have become overcrowded and escape-prone and liberal parole policies are returning violent criminals to the streets. Mr. Baliles, who resigned as attorney general July 1 to campaign fulltime, said Mr. Durrette was ignoring vastly improved escape rates and was flip-flopping on the issue of parole. “Protecting the safety of our citizens is a primary responsibility of state government. And a sound, stable and secure corrections system is a critical element in providing that protection,” Mr. Durrette said. “Dangerous criminals need to be put behind bars and kept there,” he said. Mr. Baliles, however, said Virginia’s prison escape rate ' has dropped steadily from the Republican administrations of Gov. Mills Godwin and John Dalton to a record low today under Democratic Gov. Charles S. Robb. He said there were 305 escapes for a rate of 51.2 per 1,000 inmates under Mr. Godwin in 1975 but only 54 escapes for a rate of 5.2 per 1,000 during the last fiscal year. Asked to explain this, Mr. Durrette said, “Governor Robb has inherited the legacy of previous Republican administrations which had the foresight to build the necessary facilities to keep our prisoners locked up.” Durrette accused the State Parole Board of trying to relieve prison overcrowding by releasing violent criminals. Court operates in secrecy NEWPORT NEWS — The publicity surrounding the arrest of John A. Walker Jr., accused of supplying Navy secrets to the Soviet Union, has not spilled over to the federal agency that helped build the case against him. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which authorized the wiretap on Walker’s phone, continues to labor in anonymity — which is just the way it wants it. “For a long time we didn’t want to acknowledge it was in the building,” said Justice Department spokesman Thomas Stewart. “But we realized that was silly because all the spies knew it.” Now, officials acknowledge that the court is in the Justice Department building in Washington. But they won’t tell what floor the court is on. “I am told I can’t tell you anything about the facility,” Mr. Stewart said. “I can’t tell you about the security precautions except that they are substantial.” Created by an act of Congress in 1978, the sole function of the court is to authorize electronic eavesdropping on suspected spies. It was the court which granted the FBI permission to tap the telephones of Walker, a Norfolk private detective. Walker’s May 20 arrest led to espionage charges being filed against three others, including his brother Arthur, who goes on trial Monday in Norfolk. Matters considered by the court, which always meets behind closed doors, are among the U.S. intelligence community’s most tightly held secrets. Senators split on budget Virginia’s two U.S. senators split their votes on the 1986 budget resolution approved by Congress, but both agreed the deficit is still out of control. Sen. Paul S. Trible Jr. voted with the majority in favor of the resolution, saying, “This action is better than no action to restrain spending, but massive deficit problems will continue to haunt us.” John W. Warner, Virginia’s other Republican senator, said Congress failed to reduce federal spending “and failed to put the brakes on our growing federal deficit.” Sen. Warner was one of 32 senators who voted against the budget resolution passed Thursday that reduces next year’s spending by $57 billion. The resolution would leave the government with an estimated $172 billion in red ink. A tough day for Wilder WEBER CITY — Richmond state Sen. L. Douglas Wilder admitted from the start that his 60-day motor tour of Virginia, part of his Democratic campaign for lieutenant governor, was a difficult undertaking. But Mr. Wilder didn’t expect the kind of day he had Friday, with two interviews cancelled, no one showing up at a scheduled meeting with supporters, and a grocery store bag boy asking the candidate’s 23-year-old son after Mr. Wilder has been denied permission to campaign in the supermarket, “Are you all Hare Krishnas?” “Anything this involved, it’s got to go wrong somewhere along the line,” the candidate said. Friday was the second day of Wilder’s trip. The first day Thursday had gone smoothly, except for rain. Wilder began Friday by going into a Wise County coal mine and he ended the day with some 25 Scott County supporters honoring him at dinner here and donating $132. But he probably would like to forget the rest of the day. First, an editor for a weekly newspaper in Big Stone Gap was not in his office for a scheduled noon interview. A little later, when Wilder was to meet with supporters at a Duffield motel, no one showed. Next was a scheduled radio interview in Gate City. But when Mr. Wilder arrived, no one was available to handle the interview. Then, at a Gate City supermarket, Mr. Wilder was told by the store manager that its policy prohibited soliciting. Alzheimer’s studied RICHMOND — Alzheimer’s disease, a crippling and ultimately fatal brain disorder afflicting some 40,000 victims in Virginia, is coming under the scrutiny of a new commission set up by the 1985 General Assembly. “It’s the most frustrating disease I know of for the patient, the relatives and the medical community,” Del. Joan Munford (D-Blacksburg) said Friday at the organizational meeting of the Commission on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders. She is a commission member and a nursing home administrator with firsthand dealings with Alzheimer’s disease victims. Del. Kenneth Plum (D-Reston) chairman of the 20member commission, said it will focus on ways to provide better support services for those stricken with Alzheimer’s disease. “I’m convinced that if we put our minds to it, we can do something about this devastating problem,” he said. Background information supplied the commission described Alzheimer’s disease as a brain disorder for which there is no known cause or cure. ARCOM has a foxy service for you!

She was walking along the right side of the highway in the direction we were going. From a distance I could see her shoulderlength, golden blonde hair; she was wearing a freshly pressed white blouse, yellow shorts and saddle shoes with white stockings (the fad at the time). “As we passed her I looked out from my rear window (of a ’37 Chevy) straight into the prettiest blue eyes you could ever imagine.

Vergiels laughed and said: “No, I haven’t.” The identity of the Amissville blonde, however, remains a mystery.

Blue Ribbon Cooks Share Canning Secrets— n_m _ X_X A . IVEi 1 llULlUO R*PP™nnock News Special Writer With bushels of tomatoes on the porch and bushels more in the garden, with green peppers bending down the pepper plants and cucumbers threatening to break the vines, Rappahannock gardeners know each morning what the day’s work will be. Most of them are spending at least part of each day chopping, pickling, scalding, blanching, peeling and packing. Others may be at the beach or in the pool, but for thrifty Rappahannock cooks, August is a month of increased labor rather than vacation. By September, their care and industry will have produced a whole winter’s worth of vegetables, jellies and pickles. For some, the satisfaction of a full pantry is enough. Others test their skill each year against other accomplished cooks at the Culpeper-MadisonRappahannock Farm Show. This year, Rappahannock claimed a hefty share of winners in the food preservation department, and they agreed to share some of their kitchen secrets. Jeannie McNear of Gid Brown Hollow came away with first prize in the pickle relish category. For her, making huge amounts of the mixed vegetable relish has become a yearly tradition and a pleasant day with her old friend, Linda Owings of Madison. “Linda had tasted this relish and she wanted to duplicate it,” Jeannie said. “It was made by a woman sho was helping Jackie Eastham. Well, Linda went to see her make it-she didn’t really use a recipe - and then she went back again to make sure she had it ngni. ao we make it every year, together, and it was hers just as much as mine. We split the jars up, and when the kids wanted me to enter it in the , farm show, I did.” j Jeannie said that the chopping and \ mixing of the large amount of vegetables is usually a whole day’s work for . her and Linda. “I don’t know if I’d at- . tempt it if I didn’t have a food proc- i essor,” she said. ; Called Chow-Chow, the mixed relish is unusual in that it’s not too sweet, 1 Jeannie said. “People ask for it every , year and I give an awful lot of it away, j And we might increase one ingredient ] if we have a lot of, say, cabbages,” she said. One of the steps in the relish-mak- ' ing process calls for putting the chopped vegetables in a pillowcase and hanging it from the branch of a tree. “This drains some of the extra moisture out,” Jeannie explained. “One year, the pillowcase broke. It was a mess! But, luckily, we were just taking it down from the tree and the canner was underneath, so we saved most of it.” Jeannie said that Linda Owings’ interpretation of the relish recipe that had been handed down is the best she’s ever come across. “I don’t think I’d even eat a hot dog without it,” she said. Jeannie’s daughter, Susannah, won second place in the blackberry jelly category. Her secret? “This year it was the blackberries,” she said. “I used the same recipe I always use (the one on the pectin bottle), but the blackberries were huge and very ripe.” Susannah said that she gathered them JELLY Homemade Jams, Spreads Can Become Thoughtful Gifts BLACKSBURG — Making jelly is an excellent skill for those who want to offer homemade products as gifts. Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition Jo Anne Barton lists the steps to making jelly. 1. Find a recipe and gather the ingredients and supplies. Wash the jars and equipment because once the jelly making is started there isn’t time to look for missing items. 2. Wash fruit carefully. Use some underripe fruit to increase the pectin and acid content. This is especially important for those planning to make jelly without adding pectin. Remove caps, stems and damaged areas. 3. Cut large fruits such as apples into pieces, but don’t peel or core. Place the fruit in a large pan and add enough water to cover the large pieces. For berries and grapes, use just enough water to prevent scorching. Fruits are usually heated to make juice extraction easier. The extraction of pectin is also more complete as some of the protopectin is converted to pectin by boiling the fruit in the presence of the acid in the fruit. More pectin is found in the pulp than in the juice. 4. Bring to a boil. Grapes and berries need to simmer five to 10 minutes, while apples and other hard fruits need 20 to 25 minutes to be soft enough to extract the juice. 5. Pour the cooked fruit into a jelly bag to strain the juice. A jelly bag can be made using several thicknesses of closely woven cheesecloth or one can be purchased in most cooking supiply stores. The clearest jelly comes from juice that drips through, the jelly bag without any pressure. The yield of juice can be increased by twisting or squeezing the bag but some pulpr will be extracted along with the juice, leaving the jelly slightly cloudy. This juice, or the fresh fruit before the extraction of juice, can be canned or frozen to be used in making a jellied product at a later date. 6. Follow the directions in the recipe or with the pectin product being used. There are several different pectin products on the market. Some will make a firm jelly without added sugar, but most require sugar. It is important to follow the directions for the pectin being used. Usually recipes are included in the package of pectin. Powdered pectin will not dissolve in high sugar concentrations, so it must be added to the fruit before the sugar. The liquid pectin is added after the sugar. The amount of sugar to be added also is in the recipe. Sugar adds flavor to the jellied product, but it does much more. It combines with pectin and acid to form a gel. It also is part of the preservation process. The quantity of sugar used in jellies is sufficient to prevent bacterial growth.

A pressure canner is a heavy kettle with a tight-fitting lid that can be clamped or locked down to make the kettle steam-tight. This raises the temperature inside above that of boiling water, killing harmful microorganisms and preventing deadly botulism. A pressure canner will also shorten the amount of time it takes to can foods. A pressure canner is not the same as a pressure cooker. A pressure canner has a gauge to measure pressure, a safety valve, a rack or wire basket to hold jars off the bottom of the canner and some sort of gasket around the lid to keep steam from leaking out. Those who already have a pressure canner with a dial gauge should have it checked for accuracy before the canning season begins. Your Extension agent in home economics will run the check free of charge. Using a pressure canner with an inaccurate pressure gauge runs the risk of food spoilage and poisoning.

Martha also used the recipe on ;he package of commercial pectin. iVhat makes her products prize winders? “The jellies I keep back for the show are the ones that have the clearsst juice,” she said. To ensure clarity, Martha uses a pillowcase to drip her juice from the crushed, boiled fruit, and only squeezes a very little bit. “Even with the very fine weave of the pillowcase, squeezing vigorously will force some of the pulp through,” Martha explained. “The judges are looking for the clearest appearance.” Martha tries to allow the shortest possible time between gathering the grapes and blackberries - both from her own farm-and turning the juice into jelly. This is for efficiency as well as freshness. “There’s always something waiting behind, s- mething else to do,” she said. In Martha’s case this is certainly true. In addition to working as the secretaiy at Rappahannock Elementary School, and farming with her husband Geor' Martha has prize winning produ^s of every description. Besides her jellies, she claimed first place for her hand-quilted quilt, third place for her sweet peppers, and first place for her Irish potatoes at this year’s farm show. A fourth Rappahannock cook to claim honors at the show is Doris Donald of Castleton. Those who read the Castleton News every week know that Doris leads a very busy life, devoting a lot of time to her family as well as to community projects. But she still finds time to can and freeze the produce from her large garden, and to accomplish this with such skill that she came away from the farm show with second place in string beans, second place in grape jelly and first place in blackberry jelly. Doris is especially proud of her string beans. She uses a recipe given to her mother by a neighbor 50 years ago. “Everyone who tastes my canned beans asks for the recipe,” she said. “In fact, Sheriff Buntin chased me down in the post office to get it. He said that they were the best canned beans he had ever had!” Doris attributes the beans’ success, both with friends and with the Culpeper judges, to the addition of a cup of vinegar. “This is a preservative,” she said. “It helps keep the color and the flavor fresh.” When Doris Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp A WEIRD POTATO — Angela Atkins of Sperry ville found a strange looking potato in the family garden. The potato weighs 23/4 pounds. Angela is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Atkins. Blanching Can Be Helnful v_^ To blanch or not to blanch, that is the question. Blanching is the scalding of vegetables in hot water or steam before packaging them for freezing. The vegetables must be heated through to the center as quickly as possible to kill surface bacteria and inactivate plant enzymes. This prevents toughness, color change, loss of flavor, softening and loss of nutritive value. Blanching time varies with the type of vegetable. A complete listing is available from your Extension office. Unblanched vegetables are safe to eat, but they won’t taste as good. The only vegetables which should not be blanched first are chopped onions or peppers. Some vegetables freeze better after they have been completely cooked. These include beets, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, pumpkin and winter squash. County Native Attends Reunion Baylus Whorton Baylus Whorton, a native of Rappahannock County, recently attended the first reunion of the USS McDermut held in Philadelphia. Whorton was bom in Rappahannock and lived in the county until he entered the service. The McDermut, a fletcher-class destroyer, was part of Squadron 54 stationed in the South Pacific during WW II. Whorton, a Seaman firstclass, served as the ship’s carpenter apprentice and first-loader on a five inch gun. The reunion, held 40 years after the war’s end, included a tour of the USS Olympia and submarine Becuna, as well as a visit to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

Doris has been canning all her life, starting at her mother’s side on her farm in North Georgia as a teenager. She hasdots of tips for beginning gardeners and canners: On Shelling Lima Beans - “Take a knife and cut just a little zipper in the back of the bean. The beans will pop right out. It takes just as long but saves the painful fingers caused by the stiff pod of the lima.” On Jams and Jellies - “Good jelly is clear and bright, and will mound on a spoon. This is what the judges want and what you want for your family. If you must squeeze the jelly bag and some pulp comes through, let it set and the sediment will go to the bottom. Just pour the clear juice off and proceed.” On Cleanliness - “In my mind, this is the secret to successful canning of all products. Wash your jars well and rinse them, wash your lids and rings and rinse. Boil them all and keep them warm in the hot water they were boiled in. Everything should be sterilized and hot when you use it. You’ll always get a gel that way.” Prize Winning Recipes Owings-McNear Chow-Chow: 4 cabbages 1 peck (1/4 bushel) green tomatoes 20 green peppers 20 onions carrots or red peppers for color Chop vegetables and add a handful of salt.

Sugar Amounts Can Be Cut With Juice r»T a nr/onrinn n 1 • am i •*! * uunvjivuu u ivu i ci ouno uuni^ home canning can reduce the amount of sugar in the fruit they preserve by using a juice pack or water pack. Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition, Jo Anne Barton, said that fruits canned without sugar will be satisfactory, but will not have as firm a texture or as bright a color as fruits canned in sugar syrup. According to studies by Gerald D. Kuhn, professor of Food Science Extension at Pennsylvania State University, a juice pack is a good alternative to sugar syrup. He suggested using frozen apple juice concentrate, frozen pineapple juice concentrate or bottled white grape juice as part of the canning liquid for fruit. Dilute the juices with extra water. For example, reconstitute the frozen juice according to directions. If this gives one quart of juice, add an equal extra amount of water. “This diluted juice flavor is very tUIIl^MUUlC WIU1 II Ult, IYUI1I1 soiu. “Full strength juice flavors may overpower the natural flavor of the fruit.” Suggested fruit-juice combinations are apple juice with peaches, white sweet cherries, red sweet cheeries, pears or apricots; pineapple juice with pears; and white grape juice with pears, peaches or apricots. The hot pack method of filling the jars will result in less fruit floating to the top of the jar, than in the case of the raw pack method. To use this method, bring the juice to a boil in a pot, add the fruit and heat. This drives air from the tissue of the fruit. Those who raw pack should place the fruit into jars and fill them with boiling juice. Air will be driven out during the processing time in the canner. Since air is in the fruit, however, some of it will float, increasing the chances of trapping tiny particles of fruit between the jar and lid, contributing to seal failure later. Freezing Can Be A Canning Alternative BLACKSBURG — Freezing is a method of preserving food that has its pluses and minuses. Freezing uses energy, not only during the initial process itself, but throughout the time the food is stored. On the other hand, it is an easy method that requires little equipment and materials, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition, Jo Anne Barton. Here are general instructions for freezing produce. 1. Wash, peel, break, shell or trim the food. 2. Blanch the food to destroy enzymes that continue to change the flavor, texture and color of food after it is harvested. Blanching is a two step process. First lower a small amount of the vegetable into boiling water. The ratio of vegetable to water should be such that the water doesn’t stop boiling. A pound of prepared vegetable to a gallon of water is a common proportion. Blanch long enough for heat to penetrate the food. Virginia Cooper ative Extension Service offices and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have information on recommended times. Larger pieces require longer times. For example, green beans need to be blanched for three minutes while larger ears of corn need about 11 minutes. After the food has been in boiling water the recommended amount of time, lift it out and plunge it into icy water for about the same length of time it was heated. This stops the cooking process. 3. Drain. 4. Package the food in materials that are air tight and that will withstand freezer temperature. Waxed paper and brittle plastic containers may crack in the freezer. Plastic wrap, freezer paper, heavy duty aluminum foil, plastic or glass containers work best. 5. Store in a freezer that is at zero degrees Fahrenheit.

Goings On In The Arts This Field Trip Provides A Unique Twist By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RaMMhannock Ntw» Contributing Writer It was a field trip with a twist. Instead of sightseers from Rappahannock driving into Washington, D. C., to visit the galleries and museums, traf-fic was reversed. On Saturday, the Smithsonian sent a busload of city folks to the country for a tour, one in a regular series of outings to artistic environs advertised in Smithsonian Magazine. On behalf of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, director Laurie Marshall worked with Smithsonian representatives to arrange the itinerary. Stops included Jeanne Drevas’ pottery studio and hilltop home, “the house that Jeanne built," and Washington’s Community Center where Sally Nash was leading her dance troupe, The Last Minute Wood, Company, through rehearsal. The group lunched at Brambles Restaurant before strolling through town to Middle St. Gallery. In Charlie Tompkins’ Mountain Railroad wing of the gallery, the tour continued, this time a visual tour of works by RAAC’s 12 calendar artists illustrating the depth and versatility of local talent. Photography by the husband and wife team of HENRY EASTWOOD and FRANCIE SCHROEDER greeted the viewers as they entered the gallery. In their black and white shots of venerable Anna Wood, sunset in a mountain hollow and the front porch gang at the Etlan Store, they gave a glimpse of Rappahannock’s soul. CINDY MAHAN carried on the rural theme with her photography, shots of the faces of old country stores and young country boys. Mahan’s interesting experiments with development techniques give her black and white images the patina of age, an old fashioned look in keeping with the historic bent of Rappahannock and the town of Washington. Dramatic lighting - the shadows as the sun sets on a neighborhood in the West Virginia mountains, the contrast of lamp and street light in the dark of a railroad crossing - dominate REX SLACK’S haunting oil paintings. Virginia’s countryside is still home to wild things; hidden comers of wilderness still exist. That side of the rural experience was reflected in CHARLIE TOMPKINS’ photography. His river scenes are still lifes of untamed, exploding movement, the cool rush of the tumbling water seized so completely by the camera’s lens that the viewer can feel wet spray. Tompkins’ photography ignores man’s pres Cold War, Manookian’s figure appears as KGB or CIA agent, dressed for the lonely, cold and empty spaces-both actual and psychological - that spies inhabit. The movement of Charlie Tomp ‘They saw us doing what we want with our lives... It’s rare to find’. ■Marshall '•mmmmammmmmmmmmummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ence, concentrating instead on Nature’s grandeur. LOIS MANOOKIAN’S oil miniatures of forest and field shifted the focus back to the pastoral while her street scene evoked country living of the European kind. Her big, bold depiction of a man at a half-opened window overlooking a rural village stopped traffic in the gallery and left viewers guessing. In this age of undeclar >d kins’ river photography was repeated in another medium by JEANNE DREVAS with her baskets, woven sculptures in earthy tones that flow around and through a skeleton of grape vines. Her pottery was represented by two vases, visual tricks that looked, at the same time, both as fragile as porcelain and as substantial as cast iron. NATALIE LEWIS’ graceful cats, sculpted from bronze and alabaster, stretched, paced and stared from their display case. Her wildlife crosses the line between art and mere accurate representation by capturing the animal’s intelligence and spirit. Nowhere is this more evident than with Lewis’ bronze snow monkeys. The warmth, protectiveness, love and dependency of the mother-child relationship speaks just as clearly from the pose of the aninials as it would from the more conventional posture of human mother cuddling her baby. JUNE JORDAN’S ceramic sculptures are animal art of another sort, portraits of dearly beloved friends as opposed to symbolic imagery. The personalities of Jordan’s chickens, all family pets, show in the tilt of the beak, the cast of an eye, the lift of a taloned foot. Also evident in the three pieces is the evolution of her work from abstract to near representational detail.

Marshal] also provided another look at Rappahannock’s people through her sensitive portrayal of an elderly farm woman peeling apples and her portrait of Clarence Dealing, his huge hands symbolic of his giant stature in the county’s black community. TIM KILBY’S stark photographic images in such disparate subjects as a dead puppy lying frozen in winter’s cold and old cars parked around a modest rural home give off auras of loneliness and isolation. But his slow shutter speed shot of a Last Minute Wood Company rehearsal - part of a mini-exhibit focusing on Sally Nash’s dance troupe-was friendlier, dreamlike and reminiscent of the work of photographic pioneers. The opposite end of the emotional spectrum to Kilby’s photography was touched by SCOTT ROBINSON and LINDA HEIMSTRA. Heimstra, whose colorful Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs decorate the county’s barns, offices and living rooms, moved eastward with her Oriental inspiration of a mandala of bright butter'" es. Robinson’s watercolor of supermarket apples relied on vibrant, electric colors and softly rounded shapes to lift the spirits. This was a painting for a bedroom or breakfast nook, a painting to see first thing every morning to banish any remnants of a nightmare’s gloomy hangover. Following the visual tour, a panel of Rappahannock artists - Laurie Marshall, Sally Nash, Tim Kilby, Henpr Eastwood and Charlie Tompkins - discussed their work and answered questions from the audience. “They wanted to know how we supported ourselves out here, how the country affected our art, how something like Middle St. Gallery could survive,” reported Dan Lewis, artist and proprietor of Middle St. “Some saw it as a hard, isolated life,” said Laurie Marshall. “Others saw a unique relationship between people. They saw us doing what we want with our lives. You can do that anywhere - in the city or the country - but it’s rare to find,” she said, adding that most of the visitors seemed to envy the lifestyle in Rappahannock. “They were city people who dreamed of living in the country,” Lewis concluded. Durrette (Continued from Page 2) “That’s why your (Mr. Baliles’) answer” to such problems, he told an enthusiastic audience, “is a new agency, a new program, more money.” Mr. Durrette continued: “The problem is there’s too much government already; we don’t need any more.” Instead, he insisted, the answer lies in “building a liaison” between state and local governments to make more efficient use of existing personnel and resources. Such an approach would work especially well if applied to education, he said in referring to Virginia’s often criticized community college system. Mr. Durrette also said merit pay for teachers is essential to maintaining and strengthening the public school system. He said the state must reward hard work “so they (teachers) can stay in that profession and make a comfortable living at it.” He also called for a “strong” teacher certification program, improvement in the quality of classroom textbooks and a concerted effort to reduce the secondary level dropout rate. Additionally, Mr. Durrette said he hopes to make “discipline the hallmark of every classroom.” He also reitereated his support for Virginia’s right to work law and criticized his opponent for being lax in enforcing it. In far more subdued terms, Mr. Chichester told the crowd if elected he plans to be a full-time lieutenant governor who would not go into 10 months of hibernation after the annual General Assembly session ends. As president of the state Senate, Mr. Chichester said he would take an active role in shepherding through legislation and forcibly speak in behalf of Durrette’s administration initiatives. But Mr. Chichester, who heads his family’s insurance business, suggested his greatest contribution to a Durrette administration would involve promoting Virginia as a state where industry and commerce would thrive. “I want to bring the new business and job opportunities” to the state, he said. “I want to have that opportunity to turn (Virginia’s economy) around.” A state sentator from Stafford, Mr. Chichester said he welcomes the opportunity to serve as “the governor’s ambassador” to corporate America and to travel the country “to say the good things about Virginia.” Staff writer Lawrence Emerson contributed to this report.

Gypsy moth populations have been firmly established in Virginia for several years, and in 1986 — for the first time — some Northern Virginia forests have experienced severe defoliation. It seems inevitable that the prolific, insatiable insect will continue to cause ecological disruption and political controversy as it advances southward. How are Northern Virginia localities preparing to deal with this unwelcome new arrival? As has been the case in New England states, there seems to be little agreement at the personal, regional and state levels. Even the several government agencies that oversee gypsy moth research and management approach the problem in different ways. “Learn to live with it” is the philosophy of the National Park Service, according to Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen. The gypsy moth has been present for at least five years in Mr. Jacobsen’s park. “It’s important to consider that the gypsy moth has become a permanent member of our fauna,” he said. “There’s not enough money everywhere to spray all infested areas. “Insofar as possible, we should allow natural agents — predators, parasites and diseases — to become the major controls.” Mr. Jacobsen is quick to point out that the National Park Service’s “natural control” approach is not a “do-nothing” approach. Where appropriate, aerial spraying of the biological insecticide Bt will be the first line of defense, he said. He did not rule out the possibility of spraying chemical insecticides under extreme circumstances, though no such action is planned or foreseen at this time. “Chemicals, which aren’t host-specific, will be used only as a last resort,” he said. Mr. Jacobsen explained that the Park Service is in process of identifying and mapping “Special Value Areas” which are particularly sensitive to gypsy moth damage. Those are the only places where any drastic control measures (such as spraying) would ever be considered. “Areas which fit into this category,” Mr. Jacbosen said, “are places where gypsy moth larvae would create unacceptable public health risks or damage to the environment — recreational areas, campgrounds and areas of unique ‘relic’ vegetation.” One such area is the Matthews Arm Campground, just west of the Skyline Drive at the comer of Rappahannock, Page and Warren counties. Jim Watkins, the park’s environmental protection specialist, reported that gypsy moths have “severely defoliated i' one-quarter to one-half acre of trees — right in the middle of the campground!” To date, park personnel have taken several measures to monitor and suppress gypsy moth activity at the site: Scraping of egg masses, burlap banding, destruction of pupae and trapping male moths. In addition, camping regulations have been altered, Mr. Watkins noted. Visitors to the campground are allowed to stay only two days at a time, instead of 14 days as previously allowed, in order to reduce the risk of spread of gypsy moth pupae on camping vehicles. According to Mr. Jacobsen, the Matthews Arm infestation is the worst in the park. “Next year,” he said, “we fully anticipate having to take the next step upwards in our control measures — spraying Bt.” He made this prediction cautiously, pointing out that they’ll have to await the results of gypsy moth population surveys this fall — based on counts of egg masses in the infested area — before making the final decision. In sum, Mr. Jacobsen described the park’s approach to the gypsy moth problem as one of “integrated pest management.” Mechanical, biological and chemical controls on certain highvalue areas — as well as “no action” — are all options the park will consider as control measures. Most of the Shenandoah National Park is, of course, uninhabited. In populated areas, the gypsy moth problem promises to be much more complex and controversial. Robert E. Bailey, an official with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, describes the current situation as follows: “We, and the governor, are beginning to get a few calls and letters from citizens who live in or near defoliated areas in Clarke and Loudoun counties, asking what the state can do to control the pest. “Until now, most of the comments voiced by citizens were against any treatment projects. Now cries for relief are beginning to be heard. Defoliation almost always elicits that response.” Mr. Bailey’s description sounds shockingly like a replay of what has happened time and again in New England states. Cal Morris, a Virginia Division of Forestry entomologist, hints that Virginia localities would do well to closely watch events in northeastern states. “Otherwise,” he says of forest management, “we’ll be managing for catastrophe.” Mr. Morris says that although much about the gypsy moth is unknown and unpredictable, “the situation in the mountains and the Piedmont of Virginia is expected to be very simi lar to Pennsylvania.” Mr. Morris believes that the release of parasitic organisms is “the most worthwhile single effort to control gypsy moths. But,” he adds, “outbreaks will still occur even under the best of conditions conducive to parasite establishment.” Furthermore, according to Mr. Morris, parasite establishment is not something we can do to prevent initial invasion and defoliation by gypsy moths. “Because of insufficient numbers of the host animal (gypsy moths), it’s just not possible to establish parasites in advance of defoliation,” he said. Based on its research and experience, Pennsylvania’s Department of Natural Resources is beefing up its parasite establishment program. One such parasite is known as the “Friendly Fly” — so named because of its apparent delight in landing and resting on (but not biting) human beings. James 0. Nichols, chief of Pennsylvania’s Division of Pest Management, said that under optimum conditions, “these flies can cause 70 percent-plus kill, and a population collapse.” At a recent forest management workshop at Front Royal, Mr. Nichols offered some advice on chemical insecticides: “A decision to spray timber must carry with it the realization that repeat sprayings may be necessary at two to three year intervals indefinitely, especially if tracts over 1,000 acres are involved. This has been borne out during Northeastern spray operations over the last 40 years.” Mr. Nichols explained that since 1982, Pennsylvania has discontinued chemical sprays altogether. Bt, the bacterial spray, is the only material presently used. “Objectors” — those landowners who don’t want their property sprayed with chemicals — can seriously disrupt aerial spraying of suiTounding areas, Mr. Nichols said. “Objectors” are the major reason for Pennsylvania’s new spray policy, said Mr. Nichols. But “Bt works well enough. We can usually get 70 percent to 90 percent kill, which is sufficient to keep the trees green and the people happy.” In professional circles, the gypsy moth is often referred to as a “people problem” and a “political insect.” The demands of the people — as well as the anticipated biological response of the insect itself — will determine a community’s choice of control measures. Because there are no happy solutions to the gypsy moth problem, there will always be disagreement and controversy. But one common message from our government agencies is clear Virginians should observe and learn from what’s happening in New England, where the gypsy moth has been around for more than 100 years. Options for moth control The gypsy moth has been a part of North American fauna since 1868, when it was imported from Europe and accidentally released in Massachusetts. It has spread across the continent inexorably. In addition to Northeastern states, its range now includes parts of Ohio, California, Arkansas and probably half of Virginia’s counties. The leaf-eating (defoliation) activities of gypsy moth larvae — and the associated disruption of forest ecology, economics and aesthetics — are problems Virginians have been dreading for a long time. Several measures may be implemented to monitor the moth’s populations and keep them at acceptably low levels. They are: • Biological controls, including introduction of insects which prey on or parasitize gypsy moths. • Mechanical controls such as trapping, destroying egg masses and banding trees with burlap. Larvae will congregate under burlap bands, where they may be collected and destroyed. • Insecticide use is the only way to effectively suppress heavy populations. Chemical insecticides are the cheapest and most consistent controls, but many landowners object to their use. A viral spray, NPV, is a natural disease of the gypsy moth; a cheap, effective formulation has not yet been developed. The bacterial spray Bt is a safe, moderately effective alternative to chemicals. Recent improvements to Bt formulations have increased its effectiveness and lowered its cost substantially. — Lyt Wood Community college plans soccer camp The 10th annual Manassas Soccer Camp is scheduled Aug. 12-16 from 9 a.m.-l p.m. at the Manassas campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

Price said he had a typical truckload of garbage weighed in Culpeper and extrapolated his figure from that. That per-day average is 12.3 percent higher than the national average of four pounds per day and higher than any of the averages of the surrounding five counties. ps: Sperryville Realty?^ SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088 - Office F.

Where do people put it? Some 82 percent of the “burnable trash” is deposited in dumpsters. Of that, the dumpsters at Flint Hill accounts for 23.6 percent of all the trash and the dump site at Amissville kicks in another 22.9 percent of the county’s garbage resource. Price said he figures Rappahannock County produces more trash because the dumpsters here are widely scattered. Rappahannock County, said Price, produces more garbage “than we have any logical reason to. We really should be under the national average,” he said. Still, Price said, those figures are not to be thrown in the trash. Said Price: “Trash is still a big problem in our county.” (Continued from Page 1) needs to be a certain amount of service,” Cilimberg said. Jenkins said that the stated amount of service needed for the pump would exceed the needs of most of the houses in the area. “The pump’s not going to be running that often, so if someone has a small house like a lot of the houses out there with the service they have now, I would see no need to increase it,” Jenkins said. He said that the only time a house would need the stated amount of service would be if the house had electric heat, was large and had all of the modem conveniences. “We have got to meet the federal and state requirements - that’s our responsibility - but I think that where there’s leeway the Authority will do what it can to see that there is not a heavy burden on the people with small homes like you’ve described,” Dennis said. In other business, the Authority: -received a letter from its auditor, Denis A. Bailey, describing the recently completed 1984 fiscal year audit. An unaudited report on the 1983 fiscal year will be included with the 1984 audit. Bailey wrote that the 1983 report would be unaudited due to the lack of records during the period. Both reports will be released tomorrow. -received a letter from Hank Gerhart of Buchart-Hom outlining the interim and final hook-up fee policies. Gerhart had been asked at the Authority’s last meeting to develop an interim hook-up fee schedule and policy to handle requests from home owners who want to be on the sewage system during the system’s construction. In his letter, Gerhart recommended that the Autl ority combine an interim and final policy. Dennis said that there were some questions Gerhart did not address in his letter. “In future years, we need to know how we’re going to handle service requests - whether we’re going to hire someone to do the work or whether we’ll do it ourselves,” Dennis said. “If we were in D.C. or Richmond we would do it, but we’re not a public works department.” Dennis asked that Cilimberg, Gerhart and Doug Baumgardner, the Authority’s attorney, work oh the policies.

The board set an August 16, 9 a.m. date for a special meeting to discuss the insurance problem. In other action, the board endorsed an application of the Community Services Board to buy the Boxwood House Motel and Restaurant near Culpeper and convert it to a drug and alcohol treatment center for indigents. The need for the project was brought about by rising costs at private treatment centers. Currently, the county pays about $55 per day for county residents undergoing treatment at private facilities. That is expected to jump to $75 per day and could reach as high as $125 per day depending on the services provided. Until recently, clients needing such treatment could go to Western State Hospital near Staunton for statefunded treatment. That facility no longer offers a 28-day education service that will be provided at Culpeper, should the project be completed. Bruce Hoover, who outlined the services to be offered at Culpeper, told Supervisors that the new facility would be geared towards “clients who have no access” to insurance or other means by which to pay their bill. The project, which carries a pricetag of approximately $405,000, would be funded privately until state money can be used to fiind operation and maintenance. There will be no expense to Rappahannock County taxpayers, according to Hoover. But the services board needs approval from all the governing bodies within the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District before it can propose to use state funds, he added. It is expected that the initial $405,000 to buy the motel would come from private lending sources. Once the program is in place, Hoover said it can serve up to 33 clients at a cost of about $48 per day. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, who wrote the resolution which Supervisors later passed, said that the county would not be liable “if the thing goes sour.” That risk, he said, is taken by the lender. The vote to endorse the resolution was unanimous. Supervisor Lane, who said he “would rather see it handled privately,” abstained. In other action Monday, the board: — noted that the Sperryville water and sewer projects are “coming along smoothly,” according to V. Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the planning district. He added that the project appeared to be “right on schedule.” Cilimberg said he estimates the average monthly user fee to run about $12-15 per month and added that he hopes state and federal funding will be such that it will cover “house-to-sewage-treatment-plant hookups.” — will consider a plan to formally establish a priority of backup during fire department and rescue squad calls through the five-county district. An agreement is in place to map out backup procedures, said Cilimberg, but it has always been informal. With a formal, written agreement, Cilimberg said dispatchers and other fire companies and rescue squads would eliminate any confusion. Cilimberg said that affected fire and rescue units would work out the details of the plan but he asked Supervisors to “more or less endorse the concept.” Supervisor Lane said “the concept sounds good,” but board Chairman Hubert Gilkey said, “I would feel better, as a board member, acting on a recommendation coming from the (Rappahannock Fire and Rescue) association.” No action was taken. — authorized Clerk Diane Bruce to order repairs on a copy machine at ENTIRELY BY GRACE by Tom Marshall of the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship i riere is an oia gospel song which says “Thy word is liice a garden, Lord” and then goes on to talk about the rich harvest we can gather there. The Spirit himself exhorts each of us to “study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). One of the richest fields in this garden is the field of prophecy. Even much of the Bible which is now history was prophecy when it was written. Prophecy covers many different subjects, but the unifying factor in all of it is that it points to the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:10). Apart from himself and his work, prophecy would be of little value to us, but in relation to him it is of great value and of great interest. The field of prophecy is also a field, however, in which the enemies of the gospel can “make hay.” Prophetic passages of the Bible have primary, God-intended meanings, and are not to be given private (personal) interpretations other than what God intended (2 Peter 1:20). Yet, in his infinite wisdom, God has given prophecy to us in language which can be given personal interpretations by those who either desire to twist God’s word, or have been misled, or will not do the work involved to find out what God really meant. One thing about prophecy is that there is not usually any way to prove the correctness of an interpretation until it becomes history. This has made it relatively easy for Satan and those who are either knowingly or unknowingly used by him to mislead many. Nevertheless, there are historical precedents which can help us. For example, the prophecies which have been fulfilled and are now history, were generally fulfilled literally. The prophet as of Christ’s first coming were fulfilled literally, and therefore we expect those of his second coming to be fulfilled the same way. Likewise we notice that people who have set dates for biblical prophecies to be fulfilled have always been wrong. Therefore we expect such people to continue to be wrong. Another thing that has always been wrong and will continue to be is the minimizing of the person or work of Christ, saying that he is something less than God, or that his work will somehow be completed by someone else.

ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. SOME TRUTHS ABOUT PRAYING Luke 18:1. Jesus teaches us not to give up. Some prayer is to change some things, so , we need to stand on that and thank the Father i for the victory. The Bible says in Romans | 4:17, (last part) "calleth those things which be | not as though they were. Psalm 25:1; praying is lifting the human soul of himself upward to i God. Psalm 65:2, you can get close to God, | spirit, soul and body. Close everything and every thought out. Just like there is no one i else in the world. When we do this, He will speak to us. We will learn truths we never ' knew before. When we speak to God from the heart, we put supernatural force into action. Until you start into communion with God, you are missing your closeness with the Father. This is where most Christians are missing it. You need a time set apart each day for Him. We must be honest with the Lord. He knows all anyway. We need to know how powerful our God is. Jer. 17:10, "I the Lord search the heart. I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings " Jer. 23:24, "Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord." Prov. 20:27, 'The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly." Remember, JESUS LOVES YOU and so do I. If I can help you in any way, please write or call me. You can help this ministry with your prayers and financial support. This article sponsored by: ROBERT DUNPHY MINISTRIES, INC. Rt. 1.
