RappahanntK'k News Stall Photo Cindy Mahan t Planning Board Recommends No SI udge By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At the end of a long and emotional public hearing the Planning Commission voted 4 to 2 to recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt an amendment to the zoning ordinance banning the land application of sludge in Rappahannock County. Opponents of the ordinance amendment had the opportunity to speak first. Mark Malek said the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection had looked into the issue and decided to favor the land application of sludge. “There has to be some way to get rid of sludge,” he said. “Spreading it on farmland is a good solution. It’s an environmentally positive thing.” ■ ■r*--- — Jennifer Anderson asked What was the purpose for the proposed amendment. Mike Massie, who represents the supervisors on the Planning Commission, said that the supervisors had held two public hearings on the sludge issue and decided to advertise the amendment. He noted that all amendments to the zoning ordinance must come to the planners first. Ms. Anderson was not satisfied with this answer. “No public or private agencies have op posed sludge,” she said. “They have spoken in favor of it. There is no good reason to put a ban on. It’s causing a hardship to people who are trying to farm.” John Alexander continued, “Do we have an ordinance against the Co-op'spreading 5-10-5? Do we have an ordinance against orchard sprays? If we do, I can see the purpose, but why have an ordinance for or against sludge?” Bob Dennis noted that most of the sludge comes from the Blue Plains treatment plant. “It has to go somewhere,” he said. “It’s not wise to dump it in the ocean or bum it. If we can make good agricultural use of the product by recycling it, it’s beneficial for those farmers who are fortunate enough to have soils and slopes that permit, the spreading of sludge. The county would have to have a solid argument to take that right away from the farmers who would qualify. ” Mr. Dennis said he had been chairman of the county Water and Sewer Authority in the past. At one point the WSA did not know if it could find a place to dispose of the sludge from that plant he said. “It was dicey there for a while,” he added. “What would happen if other jurisdictions turn around and do the same thing as this county?” Dick McNear suggested the county should not ban sludge but regulate it as Fauquier has. He suggested it should only be allowed in agricultural zones and that the county might want to specify only Class A sludge. “Before the county creates an ordinance that disallows it. it ought to have a pretty good rationale. We would be hard pressed to defend it in a court of law,” he said. Since Mr. McNear served as a planner in Fauquier County, Chairman Allen Stokes asked him about problems he had encountered in that county. Mr. McNear said that at first some companies has used trucks without covers over the load. He said some people found the odor offensive and that it “smells like the plains after a rain.” He said it also led to a “lot of big trucks going down the roads, but it was nothing but beneficial to the farmers.” Bill Cotter, a representatives of Bio-Gro, a firm which spreads sludge on farmland in the area, said that the Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of changing the rating system and that only composted sludge will be rated Class A, The EPA will rate Blue Plains See Planning, Page A-8 Writing in Style PhotoCourtesy Courtney Welch Courtney Welch does calligraphy in Japan.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Job Cuts Hit Many At Flint Hill Plant Aileen Furloughs 30, Reduces Workweek for 50 By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Aileen plant in Flint Hill has furloughed 30 employees and has placed 50 others on a three- or fourday week. The plant has a usual workforce of 225. “We hope this is temporary,” said plant manager Charles “Charlie" Currence, “and that we’ll resume normal operations by the end of August or September." The Flint Hill plant manufactures blouses and other women’s clothing for the Aileen, Inc. chain of about 130 stores nationwide. Most of the employees - about 195 during normal operation - are involved in “direct” work, said Currence. Direct workers are the seamstresses and similar workers who operate the sewing machines and other equipment to create the clothes. About 35 other workers are classified as “indirect.” These are mostly clerical, service and maintenance workers. The direct employees have been the ones most affected by the cutbacks. Most of these employees are women, including many who are the principal wage earners for their family. “We sew what the stores sell,” said Joyce Wharton, of Sperryville, one of the furloughed workers. Although Mrs. Wharton has been laid-off, she considers herself luckier than many of her former co-workers. Her husband is employed, and she volunteered for a furlough last month so she could spend the summer with her children and take care of personal affairs. Currence was glad to approve her request because it meant he would not have to involuntarily furlough someone else. Direct employees are paid a base salary of $4.75 an hour, said Currence. but many earn bonuses for exceeding production quotas. Before the cutbacks some top performers were earning $8 an hour, or more. With the work week reduced to three or four days, however, very few can produce enough to qualify for the bonus pay. Although the employees on furlough or reduced hours can continue their health insurance, many cannot afford the payments, said Mrs. Wharton. Aileen Inc. maintains few foreign factories, but it does have a manufacturing plant in the Dominican Republic. The clothing produced by this plant does not bear the Aileen label, but is sold to other commpanies or outside contractors. The corporation has two new stores opening this month, in Michigan and California, said Currence. “The more stores, the more sales,” he said. The corporation closed down its Culpeper store and plant a few years ago. Outlet sales a year ago were averaging $1.7 million weekly nationwide, said Currence, and are averaging $1.2 to $1.4 million a week today. They need to pick up some before the Flint Hill plant resumes full employment and production. Some workers are afraid the Flint Hill plant will never regain its former level of employment, and may even close down completely. “Many people are scared that this is the end,” said Mrs. Wharton. Severed Power Line Leaves Many in Dark Many Rappahannock County homes and business lost power for several hours earlier this week. Virginia Power and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative report that damage to a major Virginia Power transmission line from Remington to Gordonsville affected several thousand area customers served by both utilities and the Town of Culpeper on Monday, August 23. According to Ray Hugo, Director of Customer Service for Virginia Power’s Orange District, a large piece of industrial equipment operating east of Culpeper severed one of their 115 kV transmission lines at approximately 3 p.m. As a result, 3,000 Virginia Power customers were without power. Hugo reported that no one was injured during the incident. “Twelve Rappahannock Electric Cooperative substations were without power as a result of the damaged line. This affected approximately 15,000 customers in parts of Louisa, Culpeper, Orange, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, and Madison Counties,”, stated John Mitchell, REC’s Manager of Operations and Construction. According to Frank Andrews, REC’s Culpeper District Manager, all but 2,100 REC customers had their power restored by 5:30 p.m. Virginia Power and REC crews worked until 10:30 p.m., when all power was restored.

Nitrogen A Problem In Silage Current drought conditions in Virginia may cause corn silage to have excessive nitrate levels. Elevated nitrate levels can cause nitrate p°'*egiii£.$ (methemoglobinemia) in animals' This can lead to reduced production or death if levels of nitrate in consumed feed are high enough. Silage that is high in nitrates can also cause problems in storage before it is fed. Poisonous nitrogen gas may be formed during the fermentation process. This gas can be potentially lethal to both livestock and humans if the gas collects in enclosed areas without proper ventilation. Livestock producers harvesting corn silage should have the silage tested for nitrates. The forage test would then recommend not feeding the silage or limit the intake based Upon the nitrate level found. Much of the nitrogen applied to grow the corn crop may also be left in the soil because lack of moisture may have limited nitrogen uptake. According to Nutrient Management Specialists, it is not uncommon to find over 100 pounds of nitrate per acre left after a drought year. This unused nitrogen has significant potential to leach to groundwater over winter if another crop is not planted before winter to take up the nitrogen.

Getting in Shape Road Repairs In Progress Construction of the four-lanes of IT.S. 211 and 522 may be the major highway project in the county, but work is also proceeding on some of the smaller county roads These roads are repaired and maintained by the local Virginia Department of Transportation office in Washington, said VDOT supervisor Ron Marshall. The four-lane project is being done under contract to an outside construction company, and the local VDOT office has no responsibility for this job. Once the new highway is accepted by the state, the task of upkeep and repair will fall to VDOT. Work is in the last stages on Route 622 in Gid Brown Hollow, and the road should be open in its entirety within a few weeks. However, the final tar and gravel may not be applied until the onset of cooler weather this autumn, said Marshall. A rock ledge was blasted away to help widen a portion of Route 612 in Old Hollow. In addition, a power line pole has to be relocated. The project is slated for completion this autumn. Work is also continuing on Route 621 west of Five Forks, said Marshall.

The dogs were poisoned by antifreeze which was placed in the dogs’ water or poured on their coat. Antifreeze, which the animals drink because of its sweet odor and taste, kills by paralysis when it is taken internally. The reward may be increased even more if additonal funds become available, said a Welfare League spokesperson. The Rappahannock News re ported several weeks ago that the perpetrator left a note at one house saying that he or she was tired of the dogs barking. However, Major Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office said that the writer of that note was not responsible for the dog killings and is not a suspect. “The investigation is continuing,” he added. For information on contributing to the reward fund, call the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League at 987-3283. For information on the crime itself, call the Sheriffs Office at 675-3331. Highway Workers Stretched To a Point Loosen up, highway workers! All Virginia Department of Transportation workers must start their workday with five minutes of stretching exercises, said Ron Marshall, VDOT supervisor in Washington. The exercises are mandatory and state-wide, he said. The Department has “had so many accidents from muscle pulls and strains that they want everybody to loosen up before beginning work,” he added. Marshall explained that 30 percent of VDOT’s workmen’s compensation claims are from pulled muscles, and the stretching program is designed to reduce this rate. He emphasized that this was not an exercise program and was not strenuous. It is incorporated into the daily Safety Meeting each morning before workers leave for field job sites and is required of all workers unless they have a doctor’s excuse. The program, which follows the lead of several other states, began last week in the Washington VDOT office. Not everybody is happy to start their workday with a stretch. “With the roads in the shape they are in, I don’t agree that state employees should be wasting taxpayers’ money doing exercises,” said one VDOT employee who asked not to be identified. Roof Fire Extinguished A fire on the wooden shingles of the roof of the Parkway Gift Shop on Route 211 west of Sperryville was quickly extinguished Tuesday afternoon by the Sperrvville Fire Department. The fire apparently started when hot ashes from a nearby trash fire were blown onto the roof of the building, igniting the wooden shingles. Nobody was hurt in the incident. "Some customers panicked, but most left without getting upset,” said Atkins. The flames on the roof were spotted by a neighbor across the highway who tried to put it out with a hand fire extinguisher. The fire department was called a few minutes later. Damage appeared to be restricted to a ten-foot square patch of shingles on the roof, but there may be additional damage inside.

The • Aud't WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1993 Universal Health Insurance The cutbacks at the Aileen plant in Flint Hill poignantly show the need for universal health insurance. Although the company has allowed the furloughed and reduced hours employees to continue their insurance, many simply can’t afford the payments. A choice between food and health insurance is no choice at all. We realize that there is no health insurance plan th^t is perfect and without problems, whether it is a private one or a government plan. But any plan is better than no plan at all. If you don’t believe it, just ask your unemployed neighbor. Foreign Competition Maybe it would make no difference at all to Flint Hill workers and residents if the Aileen plant in the Dominican Republic were to close, and their work shifted to Aileen plants in the United States. We just don’t know. The basic salary in the Flint Hill plant is $4.75 an hour for many workers, hardly a living wage. Are salaries that much lower in the Dominican Republic? How much can a company save using foreign ldbor? A Real Estate Problem? While you admire the beauty of the distant hills someone may be envious of your location! » -Roy N.

To the Editor: The first duty of government is to promote domestic tranquility, protect citizens from bodily harm and provide a safe society in which to live. The Constitution of Virginia provides that government is instituted for the common benefit, protection and safety of the people. • Mary Sue Terry, as iAttorney General, so neglected this’duty that crime in Virginia has increased to the extent many citizens have become virtual prisoners in their own homes and are afraid to walk the streets in their own neighborhoods. On the other hand.'George Allen, as a member of4&|General Assembly, was active in supporting legislation to control crime and sponsored bill after bill for this purpose. He has the desire, energy, intelligence, and will to take necessary action to deal with criminals. George Allen proposes to abolish parole for vicious criminals; allow juries to be advised of criminal histories prior to sentencing; expand alternate forms of incarceration for non-violent offenders; and provide work for inmates to help pay for the cost of theij- imprisonment. Mary Sue Terry’<®lo nothing” attitude should be o^-ave concern to every voter. Past experience is of utmost improtanct is choosing between George Allen and Mary Sue Terry. Quoting Patrick Henry: “I have but one light to guide my feet, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way to judge the future except by the past.” The reason Mary Sue Terry has neglected the issue of crime: Knowing that she would be the next Democratic candidate for Governor, she has, while serving as Attorney General, spent her time courting the rich and powerful in building up a treasure chest of several million dollars to use as a key to the Governor’s mansion. However, there are too many hardworking, honest citizens to allow this to happen. George Allen will work to make the Commonwealth ufL Virginia a safer place in which to Me. - S. PAGE HAGGINBOTHAM Orange Don't Eat The Cake Yet To the Editor: Your August 18 editorial about Tier III—with which I am in complete agreement-quotes me somewhat out of context. The “Tier IIP’ water quality designation proposed for the upper Rappahannock brings a new concept to our County-and new concepts are rarely “pieces of cake” when it come to selling them. But certainly Tier III designation (no new sewage discharges allowed) for the upper Rappahannock-today only a droughty trickle where it flows past our place -makes ultimate sense; no one could afford to build a waste discharge that would meet existing water quality standards. And, as I have said, Tier III is a “piece of cake” when compared to other water quality requirements coming down the road-such as toxic and nutrient reduction regulations designed to restore Chesapeake Bay. ROBERT T. DENNIS President Sludge Is Everybody's Problem To the Editor: The public hearing by the Planning Commission on application of sludge on suitable land in the County revealed once again an all too pervasive attitude in our socidtv. The attitude is that the production and disposal of human waste is not my problem-let someone else take care of it. Farm communities produced food which is consumed by the population at large. Excrement is the end product, and what are we going to do with it? To say that is the cities problem to solve, and we are not part of that society, is downright moronic. We are an interdependent society and we must work together to solve our mutual problems. Very strong- safeguards have been instituted by the Federal and State Health Departments, the State Water Control Board and the EPA to assure proper treatment and application. If the opponents to sludge application will produce evidence of spread of disease then let it be seem. The other problem that our public officials need to address is the disposal of our own septage. At present, the County has a very small treatment plant for the sewer system of the village of Sperry ville and there is a small package plant at Aileen. Neither of these plants can handle additional raw sewage from the septic tanks from the rest of the County. There are approximately 3,000 household in the County and several restaurants and small industries. A tank has to be emptied approximately every ten years; business do it more often, especially in the town of Washington. Each year about 300 tanks need to be emptied. Where do we put this raw sewage (also called septage)? It is transported to adjacent counties for treament and disposal. In the not too distant future, the adjacent counties will not accept our untreated waste just as they are unwilling to take our trash. What are the county officials going to tell the citizens when the tank needs to be emptied? The citizens will have to find alternative ways to dispose of the septage and it won’t be cheap. This very senario happened about three years ago. There is only approximately 2,000 acres of land in the county that could be used to apply TREATED SLUDGE. By a vote of 4-2 by the Planning Commission and by a previous vote of 4-1 by the Supervisors, sludge cannot be ap plied in the County. Now I would like to know' where public officials are going to spread “This Product," as it was so politely called at the public hearing, if the adjacent counties won’t accept it. Are the very farmers who have been denied the right to apply the sludge then forced to help Counties’ problem? I suppose these farmers could refuse, but I don’t believe so, they understand what it means to have social responsibility. WERNER KREBSER, M.D. Washington (Editor’s Note; Dr. Krebser, a member of the Planning Commission, I'oted to allow the application of sludge.) Homework Comes First To the Editor: Yet another public hearing on sludge was held recently. Of those who spoke in opposition the sludge use, most had not done their homework and freely admitted to simply voicing fears and/or questions about the product and its application. A few others spoke in opposition for reasons which were vague but this group too was unclear on the facts. The overwhelming majority, those favoring sludge use, had done some investigation, field visits and read the available literature. I would like to suggest the time to do homework is before the meeting and certainly, in the case of commission members, before voting. It is discouraging to know' an ignorant minority reigns in Rappahannock. JENNIFER L.

Please enclose two 29 cent stamps. MASON GARDNER Gainesville Line Not Needed To the Editor: I am writing to express my concern over the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative’s (REC) proposal to construct a high-voltage powerline with a 100 foot right-of-way from Rixeyville to Sperryville--some of the most pristine countryside in Rappahannock County. As a landowner and REC customer who is affected by the porposal, I am distrubed by the numerous reports that are circultaing on this issue. I urge other concerned citizens to demand an explanation from REC. It is my understanding that REC claims to be responding to Rappahannock County customer’s complaints of frequent power outages by purchasing additional power from Potomac Edison’s Sperryville substation. To accomplish this, REC would destroy miles of scenic mountainsides and pasture land and lower property values by construction a high voltage transmission line. However, the powerline would not solve the real problem which is apparently the smaller distribution lines-not the main transmission lines. After all, the porposed transmission line would not porvide direct service to REC customers in Rappahannock County. It would take all of the power back to Culpeper County where the real benefits would be enjoyed. While the customers’ right to reliable power is a serious issue which must be addressed, I question whether this is the best alternative. In talking with other concerned residents, I have learned that there are existing electric power corridors that could be utlized thus minimizing the environmental impact. Another alternative is for REC to purchase additional power from its current supplier, Virginia Power. A third alternative would be for Potomac Edison to supply REC’s Rappahannock County customers. " I purchased a small farm in Rappahannock County, after years of searching, because of the over-* whelming beauty of this area. I am confident that all Rappahannock County residents share this appreciation. Now, we must be vigilant so that what we cherish will not be taken away. I urge all Rappahannock residents interested in preserving our County’s natural heritage to get involved. Write REC and your elected officials to let them know that you do not want Rappahannock to suffer the same urbanization and over-development as our neighboring counties. Should this powerline proposal go though, REC’s and Culpeper County’s short term gain will certainly be Rappahannock County’s long term loss. HAROLD J. CREEL, JR. Woodville See Letters, Page A-5

(►Letters From Page A-4 Republicans Facing Bad Choice To the Editor. > - The Republicans in Virginia today find themselves in the same position as Democrats in California or New York have been in the past. A small focused minority has acquired a veto power over the nomination process, and the party has a ticket that is unpalatable to the mainstream of either the Republican party or the electorate at large. The charge to the right of this year’s ticket has resulted in rruqor defections from traditional Republican supporters. 1 Traditional Republicans have good reason to,reject this ticket. When you have a candidate who states that breast cancer is caused by abortions, or who has tried to get books such as The Wizard of Oz or The Diary of Ann Frank out of the schools, you have a ticket that deserves no creditability from voters of any orientation. If the Republican party is to escape the control of these forces, it must repudiate this ticket. That is not going to be easy for them, because it means that they will either have to support the 1'erry, Beyer, Dolan ticket statewide, and in Rappahannock County support Jerry Wood, or they Will let the far right control their party. I urge Republicans to give the ticket of the Democratic Party a serious look. Look at the records of Mary Sue Terry, Don Beyer, Bill f)plan and Jerry Wood. They are serious candidates with proven records. I think you will find this ticket Closer to your values and ideals than the extremist far right ticket you have been given. The voting booth is private. No one will know. This may be your last chance to save your party. Those of you who left the Democratic Party because it once was too extreme for you, think about Coming home. You will find a welcome waiting for you. J. KENT REEVE Chairman, Rappahannock County !

In 1950, World War II had been over for more than five years. As the post-war economy boomed many veterans who had delayed marriages, careers and home buying for the duration were making up for lost time, and farmers and businessmen updated their old equipment as fast as their finances permitted. Everybody wanted a new car or truck. There were plenty of car advertisements in the paper, but few of them quoted a price. But this one, from the February 9,1950 issue of the Rappabnnock News, shows that for only $1,395 you could drive home in this 1950 Dodge half-ton pickup. A few weeks later a 1950 2-door Studcbaker Champion sedan was advertised for “now only” $1,553.17.

NO TRESPASSING without current written permission Stop This Line To the Editor: Rappahannock Electric is porposing to erect a new power tranmission line from Sperryville through the heart of Fletchers Mill, Red Oak Mountain and Rock Mills to the Rixley substation near AmisSivlle. Those of us served by R.E.C. have contented with frequent and lengthy power outages and now, we are told, the building of this new high voltage line will solve our problems. Well, I don’t think so. Rural landowners know - outages are caused primarily by falling limbs on distribution lines, not the huge towers carrying transmission voltage or by transformer failures within the substations. Rather than bulldoze a 100-to-200-foot right-of-way through Some of our county’s most scenic farms and residences, why not take advantage of the exsisting right of ways and upgrade what is already in place? R.E.C. is facing increasing demands for service in Culpeper County where the majority of its cutomers live. Those of us in Rappahannock -should not be asked to see our lands and fields polluted by this proposed new line which will not solve our problems with R.E.C. R.E.C: has the existing right of ways and facilities to bring in the additional power it wants without cutting a swath through Rappahannock. It is time to draw the line to stop this line.

Royal Avc. • Front Royal, VA Misleading Coverage Continues By JOHN GOOLRICK I am not trying to make a career of bashing The Washington Post, but, unfortunately, that newspaper’s coverage of Virginia politics continues to be abyssmal. Last week the Post ran a front page story with a headline that proclaimed Virginia Republicans are defecting to the gubernatorial candidacy of Mary Sue Terry, a Democrat. The accompanying story sought to give credence to the headline but, to put it bluntly, came nowhere near accomplishing that goal. First let me say that I do not believe The Washington Post can produce any significant number of people who are really Republicans and intend to vote for Ms. Terry for governor instead of GOP nominee George Allen. The so-called Republicans cited in the recent article are not Republicans, even though they may have given money to some Republican candidates in the past. The fact of the matter is that most of those listed by the Post are Northern Virginia speculators whose overriding interest in the political process is to do favors for various candidates they think will win and may be helpful to them later on. Thus, in plunking down hard cash for Ms. Terry they merely are trading in the Mary Sue Terry futures market in the belief that after Tuesday. Nov. 2 she will be an immensely more valuable commodity as Governor-elect of Virginia than she is now. That is simply the way these people do business. It has nothing to do with political philosophy as exemplified by the Democratic or Republican or any other parties since their bedrock philosophy is to look out for their own interests. Since they obviously believe polls Virginia Through Both Barrels showing Ms. Terry the probable winner, they are putting their money on the chalk horse and hoping it can hold on down the stretch to finish first at the wire. The Post story made much of the fact most of these people gave lavishly to GOP gubernatorial nominee Marshall Coleman in 1989. True enough, since they thought Coleman would be a winner but bet the wrong horse. However, I suspect the reporter should have done a bit more research. For instance — and I don’t know w hether they did or not — was Chuck Robb at any time in his various campaigns the beneficiary of donations from these various interest groups? How about Gerald Baliles or Jim Moran or Leslie Byrne, all Dembcrats? The reporter who wrote the story has been around long enough to know how the game works. Most of those who represent interest groups, or their own interests, open up their pocketbooks not with thenhearts but with their heads. They are practical people looking for winners, be they Democrat or Republican. You don’t see these people at party conventions helping write planks in platforms or nominating candidates. Their natural habitats are wellappointed offices in high-rise build ings, country clubs and swank suburban homes. Sometimes such people have even been known to hedge their bets by giving to both candidates for a particular office. In fact, that practice is not at all uncommon and says something about how deeply the contributors really feel about party politics. I am not suggesting there is anything at all wrong with the way they do business, but their money is not intended to help promulgate the philosophy of a party, but to give them access to those who rise to political pow’er. If the Post wanted to make the point that the smart money in Northern Virginia seems to be flowing to the Democratic side this year, all well and good. But to suggest that this money is coming from rockribbed Republicans is ludicrous, and another example of this newspaper's distorted coverage of state politics.

Right now we spend $15,000 a year for groundwater monitoring. “This could easily go to $100,000 [per year]. Instead of $2,100-$2,400 to test per quarter, we could go to about $3,800 per well, and we’ll have to monitor forever,” Bingham explained.

St. Peter's Group Journeys to Denver By MARCY LYNN And KATIE LYNN Rappahannock Ncwi Contributing Writers On Saturday, August 7 eight members from St. Peter’s Catholic thurch, Washington, left on a pilgrimage to World Youth Day ’93 in Penver, Colorado. Their fourteen day trip was unanimously dubbed and “incredible experience.” ! “It took us three days to get to Penver. We spent the first night in Pouisville, Kentucky, the second in Junction City, Kansas and the third, finally, in Breckenridge, Colorado.” ! After the twenty-seven or so hours in the van the little group had pretty much “bonded.” They told ^tories, laughed, played car games, (win, loose or draw kept them occupied for hours), sang and made up fcongs to sing at World Youth Day pvents. When they reached Denver on August 9 they were ready to join thousands of other young Catholics Who had come just as far to share their faith and grow in it. ; The World Youth Day events began on August 11 with an opening Mass celebrated by the Most Reverend Francis Stafford, Archbishop of Denver in the Civic Center downtown. 1 “It was the first hugs crowd experence some of us had ever had. There were hundreds of large groups all trying to squeeze in front of the pavilion where the mass was being said. Luckily no one got lost.” The St. Peter’s group wore their matching T-shirts and bandannas to all the WYD events so that they w ere easily recognized as a group. On Friday, August 13 they attended a special Way of the Cross in Mile High Stadium. The Stations ol the Cross were presented by three actors and a life-size cross was carried around the stadium by selected youth delegates. After the Stations, a message from the Pope was broadcast into the stadium. While the group was at this event they were able to give their gift, a T-shirt for the Pope, to a WYD staff member who would give it to someone who would present it to the Pope. The highlights of the group’s WYD experience were the fifteen mile pilgrimage from downtown Denver to Cherry Creek State Park and the Papal mass on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. The pilgrimage began with a special mass at the Civic Center and continued as 60,000 pilgrims hiked on a" bike path tow ards the park. “We wrere very pleased with ourselves for getting front row7 seats at the pilgrimage mass and walking the entire fifteen miles, with heavy backpacks, and only getting a couple cases of blisters. The residents along the way kept our spirits up by cheering and waving, especially when we told them we came all the way from Virginia!” At both events the thrill of being with so many people w as beyond the group’s description. They all began to feel the unity of our faith as they moved towards the end of the pilgrimage. Mary Dee Ellis a friend of ours and a member of the group remarked that “it w7as incredible to see 500,000 people together-so diverse, yet so similar, because we w7ere bound by the same goal: to become Katie felt similarly. “World Youth Day ’93 was a great experience for thousands. So many Catholics there together gave us an extra boost of one family in prayer.” Lisa Hibl'sn By St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Washington, the group gets ready to depart for Denver and World Youth Day.

On'.our fifteen mile pilgrimage we meet new' people from other cities and countries. We talked, prayer and had fun together. But after a while’s miles gets hard, very hard but we all went on and it wras inspiring to know’ that wTe were all doing it for the same reason," Lisa said, “It was the first time I’d ever been surrounded by so many Catholics my age,” Katie added. “We were all united by common bonds of love and concern not only for one another but for all people.” Of course, the presence of the Pope and attending his mass was exciting for all the members of the group. “I w as struck by the Pope’s message to us,” Marcy said. “He told us that we are innately responsbile for the continuation of Christ’s gospel message to the world. He asked that we make an effort to live in a Christ-like manner and bring his kingdom to the world by our lives. If all 500,000 of us really listen to this message the world would definitely be a better place.” Welby Lynn felt that this message of the Pope's could be carried out by today’s youth. “I was impressed by how easy it is for a group of well-intentioned people to do good deeds. For wThen the spirit of generosity and compassion are in the majority, little can deter it. When a sense of community spirit can be fostered in all youths it is truly amazing what can be done.” After traveling through 13 states and putting 5,736 miles on their rented van, the group is glad to be back in Rappahannock County with friendships and memories that will last them a lifetime. Bank Offers Buyback By JOHN BRETSCHNEIDER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer For investors holding fewer than 100 shares, Fauquier National Bank is offering to buy back its common stock at $65 per share. Information released by the bank’s board of directors states that the offer applies to 131 of the Warrenton-based bank’s 457 shareholders. Recently the stock has traded in the -$50 to $52-per-share range, according to Bev Crouch of Scott and Stringfellow stock brokerage in Warrenton. “The price they’re offering is book value,” Crouch said of the buyback offer. The 326 stockholders that own more than 100 shares each are not included in the repurchase offering, which is slated to run through Sept. 30. According to Stan Parsons, a vice president and cashier with FNB, any repurchased shares will be retired by the bank. “We are letting this offering run its course,” Parsons said. “But the bank may, from time to time, offer to buy back stock when it makes good sense for the bank and for shareholders.” While the 131 “odd-lot” shareholders represent 28.7 percent of the total number of FNB stock owners, they only own 1.6 percent of the 239,800 shares outstanding. According to a FNB release, bank president C. Hunton Tiffany said that the buy-back is not to avoid having any holders of fewer than 100 shares. “As a locally owned community bank, we value every shareholder,” the release quoted Tiffany as saying. Bank officials said that the buyback offer was an opportunity for odd-lot owners to get a fair price for their stock with no selling expenses. In addition, by cutting the number of total shareholders, the repurchase will reduce the bank’s expense of maintaining the shareholder list and communicating with shareholders. The stock has split 20 times since FNB was founded in 1902. In 1984, Fauquier National Bankshares was formed as a holding company for FNB. f Those holding fewer than 100 shares of FNB stock who wish to sell should contact bank secretary H. Frances Stringfellow at 349-0284.

For the past four years, The Rappahannock National Bank has donated $1 for every two books read as a part of the program. ►Planning From Page A-l sludge Class B, although the state will continue for the time being to rate it Class A, he said. Susan Babcock said that it would be “short sighted” to ban sludge leaving the county with no place to put its own sludge when it could help fanners remain in farming. Lindsay Eastham said that the Rappahannock Farmers Association supports the option of using sludge. “We’ll never have a majority that wants it,” he said. Roger Welch said that the problem is that most people are “uninformed. If we had more information, we could make a better decision and not deny the farmers in Rappahannock the choice of using it or not.” Alvin Henry saht he was neither in favor not opposed to sludge. He said he has seen where it has been spread in Fauquier. “It gives lush vegetation and is of immediate economic benefit to the people who use it, but it does have a distinct odor.” He said that the spreaders use very large equipment that can be a problem on “narrow back roads.” When the supporters of the amendment had their opportunity to speak, Newbul Miller said he could see the benefits, “but I’m concerned with the scope of man’s knowledge,, today.” He said that materials that had been considered safe in the past are now recognized as dangerous. “Fm afraid the risk is too great,” he said. He said if disposing of the sludge from the Sperryville treatment plant becomes an issue, “we can cross that bridge when we get to it.” Mr. Henry asked the representatives of Bio-Gro why they need land in Rappahannock County if they can spread in 22 other counties and what regulations there are on using sludge land for producing products for human consumption. They said they were at the meeting because fanners has asked for their help and added that vegetable crops can’t be grown on the land for one year after sludge is applied and that cattle can’t graze the land for 30 days. They said that the EPA is very conservative in its policies and that sludge has not been shown to be harmful. Joy Sloane asked if each load is tested before it is applied. Representatives of Bio-Gro said that each load is not tested. Hampton District representative Brooke Miller asked how the sludge is treated and whether the treatment kills bacteria and viruses. “Does it kill the. AIDS virus?” he asked.

He said that spreading the sludge on the soil where it is exposed to ultraviolet light and drying kills viruses and bacteria. Bio-Gro’s representatives said that none of their employees had any health problems as a result of working with sludge. Bill Fletcher said that he had listened to hours of arguments about sludge and that he still had questions. He noted that the EPA and Department of Agriculture frequently change their rules for farmers. “I don’t want to do something on my farm that might hurt my neighbpr,” he said. He added in heavy vriuns the Blue Plains plant frequently releases sewage to the Potomac River and that sludge could come from other places. “I’m against it because I still have questions. There is a miniscule economic benefit and a potential for vast economic harm,” he said. “I don’t want D.C.’s problems.” Mr. Anderson said, “I’m more concerned about what flew out of the chimneys in Front Royal on Rappahannock soil than what comes from Blue Plains.” When the hearing was closed the planners each took the opportunity to state their positions. Dr. Miller said, “If I felt beyond a reasonable doubt it is safe, I would be for it, but I can’t find that.” Sharon Pierce, who represents Stonewall-Hawthorn District said she. needed more information before making a decision, but if she had to vote, she would vote against spreading sludge. Sid Gottlieb, who represents the Board of Zoning Appeals, said that he did not believe in singling out sludge when other fertilizers and pesticides are allowed even though there are questions about the safety of those products. Dr. Krebser said that studies have shown no health hazards for people who work in sewer plants. He said that most of the people who had opposed sludge don’t live near where it can be applied, since it is only allowed on relatively flat land. He noted that Bio-Gro supplies lime as well as sludge with Blue Plains sludge and that most Rappahannock soils are acid and need the lime. He said that non-farmers were interfering with the farmer’s right to earn his livelihood. He noted that in his native Switzerland sludge has been used for years with no bad effects “and it’s a tourist country.” Mr. Massie said that farmers benefit from large-lot zoning, the ab 'v*,®p«sMr All TniNIMft in Stock SALE PRICED!

HUNDLEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The next time you ask Social Security to send you an estimate of the benefits you would receive at retirement, you will find the amount fig• ured in “today’s” dollars. Estimates prepared before September 1993 were projected in “fiiture” dollars using a one percent adjustment to take into account wage growth fpr each year up to age 62. When Social Security first began issuing earning and benefit statements in 1988, the estimates fleeted the probable effects of con* tinued work and changes in the economy up to the time the worker reached retirement age. Social Secuc. rity is no longer adding the one per^ cent factor in order to make its retirement beneift estimates consist tent with benefit estimates prepared by most private and public pension planners. * Your benefit estimate also wil5 include a yearly breakdown of you* earnings that have been reported to Social Security and an estimate of how much you have paid in Social Security taxes.

(Editor’s Note: Several Rappahannock County Jt-H students and their chaperone recently returned from an exchange program in Japan. This article is a composite of their experiences.) Everyone was Friendly By HELEN SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I thought that we in the South had the corner of the market on hospitality until I spent a month in Japan. I have never met folks who were friendlier. I have never been treated like someone so important. At every occasion like the LABO meetings, visting neighbors and relatives, visiting school and the mayor, I was the “American 4-H Chaperone” and was treated like a celebrity. In effort to save space let me describe my likes and dislikes. LIKES: Food-I tried everything and found only 6ne dish that I did not like, and it was not sushi. It was a fermented soybean dish that is supposedly very good for one’s health. The Beautiful Countryside-once out of Tokyo, there is no scenery more beautiful (except Rappahannock County). One of my host families was a farming area with orchards, vineyards, and rice paddies...didn’t see any beef cattle. We drove to a scenic overlook on a scenic highway similar to the Skyline Drive to view Mt. Fuji. Public Transporation-The traines are efficient and comfortable and you’d better be on time. The only thing that I really DISLIKED was the crowds of people. Twelve million people in one city is too much for a Virginia country girl. But Tokyo is a very exciting and modern city with lots of cultural opportunities. I felt much safer walking and using the trains and subways compared to some of our big cities in the U.S. Would I go back? In a heartbeat! The two families with whom I stayed were very family-oriented, were good parents, and were very similar to families here. They were supportive of their children’s education, and the two mothers were chauffeuring the kids to piano lessons, dance lessons, sports, swimming, LABO, and extra-curricular activities just like families here. Except for a few customs like taking one’s shoes on and off when entering a house, my impression is that the families and the things that the families value are very simlar. The other thing I learned is that LABO is an outstanding orgainzation staffed by professionals who care. They work hard and they are dedicated to the quality and effectiveness of our 4-H Japanese exchange program. 4-H is very fortunate to have a partnership with the LA60 organization. If you are a family in Rappahannock County that is interested in participating either as a host family here in the U.S. or sending your son or daughter on the exchange trip, please call be at the Extension Office at 675-3619 for more information. Japan is Awesome! By COURTNEY WELCH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer I stayed in Miyazaki, Japan, a southern city on Kyushu island. It was very beautiful, with white sandy beaches and palm trees. My host family was very kind. I had three host sisters that were very creative. They taught me how to make origami and paper flowers. They were very interested ip teaching me their language so I now know a fair amount of Japanese. The food was ok. I tried everything. I ate raw fish, raw beef, horse, octopus, squid, cuttlefish, eagle and much more I couldn’t identify. We ate rice everyday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I really enjoyed eating with chopsticks and became very well at it. Photo Courtesy Courtney Welch Chopsticks take skill. I attended a Japanese school for one week. The students and teachers were very kind to me. School was very different than in the U.S. The teachers aren’t strict so the kids sometimes run wild. The kids do however study alot. My host sister spent about 3 to 4 hours studing every night. While in Japan I got to bath in a hot spring. It was hot but very relaxing. Japan is awesome!! My Japanese Family By MARK JENKINS Rappahannock New* Contributlnc Writer Two years ago my family hosted “Yoshi”, a Japanese exchange student who stayed with my family for a month. This year I visited him as an exchange student and had a great time. I visited Yoshi’s high school, Erikka’s (Yoshi’s sister) Junior High, and Junya’s (Yoshi’s brother) Elementary School. At the Junior High I joined a basketball team and played almost everyday. It’s in a very urban area and I could walk to basketball. Photo Courtesy Courtney Welch Buddha greets the visitors. Photo Courtesy Courtney Welch The mayor of Nagasaki present Mark Jenkins with formal greetings. Yoshi and I went to LABO camp. Labo camp is a camp for Japanese youth which is a time for kids to take a break from their hectic school schedule. During my stay 1 also visited two amusement parks, many shrines, and the Peace Park, where the atomic bomb was dropped. I hope to go back to Japan someday maybe as an interm when Pm in college. I would like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to take the trip and the community for their cooperation with the fundraisers. We're Not So Different By MARSHA FREEMAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Before leaving for Japan, my family recieved a letter from my host family. In it they stated, “own home is small but our hearts are big in welcoming Marsha.” Well, I found the home, like most of the buildings, small but adequate; however, the hospitality, desire to make me comfortable and to feel as much a part of the family as possible w as more than adequate. I had the opportunity to visit and exchange gifts with the mayor of Isehara City, go to LABO camp, visit museums, temples, shrines, stroll in a Japanese garden and visit with other relatives. I tried many new things: eat raw fish which I found to be cold and slimy, go inside a Buddha-the same one visited by Mrs. Clinton about a week before I arrived in Japan, visit a school, sleep on a futon-oh, how comfortable, eat with chopsticks and slurp noodles-not considered rude in Japan. While participating in these activities, I found that we as two different cultures and nationalities are not so different. 'Westernized' By KATHERINE KREBSER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Japan has been very ^‘Westernized” in the last few years. For example, in large cities it isn’t necessary to remove your shoes upon entering a building. Also most restaurants are exactly like restau-x V rants in the United States with' booths and many “western” and European dishes. The transportation system in Japan also impressed me, being much like those seen in Europe, highly sophisticated. A person could go almost anywhere in Japan , without the need for a automobile of their own. The Japanenese School System By DAVID SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer (Editor’s Note: Daind Smith is principal at RCES and accompanied the i-H members during part of their trip to Japan.) While I was in Japan I tried to learn about the Japanese school system since my profession is a school adminstrator and educator. My host father was vice-principal at a middle school. I visited kindergarden, elementary, middle and high schools. Sijjce school was still in session, it was interesting to visit the elementary school and compare and contrast with what we doiiere. Students are taught a national curriculm and assessed by national standards, i.e. every student takes the same exam at the end of the term before moving on to the next grade. I visited classes in grades 1, 2, 1, 4 and 6 music, art and home economics (grade 6). Students also tend gardens. They have chickens and rabbits to care for. There is a fish pond and large swimming pool. All students are taught to swim in all grades. Pool and playground are used summers and evenings by the community. Playground is dirt, no grass-raked often for leveling. Students wear uniforms to school and bring athletic wear and swimsuits to change into for swimming and sports. Some classes have as many as 40 students. Students clean up each day-as we left students were sweeping the driveway. Mr. Kato, principal of elementary school, was proud of his 1,300 children in grades 1 through 6. He is disturbed by Japanese education and lack of helping children with high ability. They don’t get a chance to excel. Low-ability • students struggle also. He likes the American approach of helping more ability ' levels develop to full potential. This isn’t done in Japan because parents want children to successfully take exams with high scores to go to best high school, them to best colleges, them to good employment. Therefore, the focus is on drill, memorization and facts instead of developing creativity and imagaination like American schools. At an early age Japanese children are taught ot conform. I was asked to speak to children on closed-circuit TV; the studio was run by 6th grade students. One of the books that I read in preparation for the trip was Learning To Bow, an insightful look at the Japanese school system and culture, recommended to me by Miss Margaret Dodson, a retired teacher in Flint Hill. I recommend it if you want to know more about Japanese schools. Movie This Weekend “A League Of Their Own” will be the, movie at 7 p.m. at the Theatre in Washington on Sunday, August 29.

Hartman, owner of High on the Hog, will be entering the Best Ribs Championship outside Winchester this Saturday and hopes many of his loyal local customers will come and help him win. A $3 ticket lets you attend the contest, enjoy live music from three bands and entitles you to a ballot for the “People’s Choice” trophy for the best ribs. The day runs from 11 a. m. until 7 p.m. and is sponsored by the Winchester-Frederick County Jaycees. The event will take place at the Westview Business Park two miles east of Winchester on Route 50. Mr.. Hartman said 10 restaurants will be participating in the contest, which also includes judges’ trophies'" for best ribs and best Bar-^-Q sandwich. In 1989 he entered the Invitational World Rib Championship in Richmond and won second place for his sauce. That was a huge event that included entries from as far away as Australia and served over 100,000 people over four days. He plans on selling that sauce at this Saturday’s event. He will also be selling a basting sauce. This weekend will be a more modest affair. Mr. Hartman said the Jaycees are expecting between 5,000 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick J. Zack McKinney, left, and J.D. Hartman get their cooker ready for action. and iu,uuu people. High on the Hog opened outside Sperryville late last fall. This past weekend the parking lot was overflowing with tourists, but Mr. Hartman said he is most grateful for his local customers who kept the restaurant going during the off season. To keep them coming back he is introducing weekend specials. In re cent weeks these have included creole pork chops, crab cakes, and the “low country boil,” sausage, shrimp, potatoes, com on the cob and onions cooked in “spicey water,” Besides the respuraht, High on the Hog also does catering for large private parties. In ^September that will mean three parties one day. For smaller parties High on the Hog will arrange to pre-cook the meat for the customer to pick up and serve. A lot is involved in preparing for the Saturday event. This past weekend Mr. Hartman refurbished the traveling smoker. He and his partner Zack McKinney will start Friday cooking the hams for 12 hours over cherry logs. Once they are cooked, the fat is trimmed and the pork is hand pulled. They will take lava rocks for reheating the pulled pork for the Bar-B-Q sandwiches. Then they will set up early Saturday morning to start the 5-hour process of smoking the ribs. “A contest like this is a lot of work," Mr. Hartman said. “But if it is done right, it’s a lot of fun.” cass in the Carcass Contest or not to enter the contest,” he continued. Randall Updike, 4-H Leader for our 4-H Livestock Club and member of the Farm Show Board of Directors explained “that the USD A graders collect carcass data at the slaughter house that is figured into a carcass index and the rankings are based on the carcass index.” The three factors used to figure the carcass index are quality and cutability, yield grade and growth and performance. 4-H'ers Capture Top BeefAVvards Three Rappahannock County 4H’ers took the top three awards in the Beef Carcass Contest following the 1993 Farm Show. The awards were presented to Katie Updike, Grand Champion; Mary Beth Williams, Reserve Champion; and Greg Williams, 3rd place at the annual Carcass Show Picnic and Awards Ceremony at Graves Mountain Lodge in Madison County. Approximately 85 4-H’ers and their families from the three counties involved in the Farm Show attended the picnic and awards ceremony. Also placing in the Beef Carcass Contest were: Scott Updike, Ninth; Zack Corbin, 13th; and Mary Beth William, 26th. There were a total of 27 carcasses entered in the Beef Carcass Contest. In the Swine Carcass Context, Ashley Corbin placed 10th. This is Ashley’s first year to enter the Farm Show and Carcass Contest. “The purpose of the Carcass Contest, which is a follow-up to the Farm Show, is for the children to learn how animals are graded at slaughter,” said Scott Cummingham.

SMITH Extension Agent, Hone Economics Peppers are a vegeatable with a “borrowed” name. Christopher Columbus was in search of peppercorns of India when he landed in America and misnamed the plants he found growing here “pepper” and their users “Indians.” The sweet bell pepper, frying peppers, banana peppers, and hot chili peppers are totally unrelated to the plant that produces the spice-peppercorn. But they bear their name with the distinctiop accorded the more costly spice. These American peppers come in many varieties. Bell peppers, usually sold green, also are available in their more mature and sweeter red version as well as in yellow and creamy white. The Italian frying peppers come in limegreen, reddish-green, and yellow. The hot peppers (their fire is due to a chemical called capsaicin) are now used worldwide; among their 200 varieties are cayenne, jalapeno, serrano, chili, pequin, hot cherry, and the Japanese santaka. These can be used directly (finely chopped and in small amounts) to flavor a-dish, or dried hot pepper can be cooked'in oil to make a hot-flavored oil for cooking and seasoning. When cutting hot peppers, avoid touching the inner flesh and seeds. It’s best to wear rubber gloves and, after completing the cutting, to wash the cutting surface, knife, and gloves with soapy water before you take the gloves off. Peppers are availble year round, although they are usually more plentiful in late summer and fall. Choose firm, thick-fleshed vegetables with a glossy sheen and without soft spots or wrinkled skin. Refrigerate them, and use them within several days. Nutrition Peppers are very low in calories22 calories in a cup of strips-and very rich in vitamin C-on a par with orange juice. They are also a good source of vitamin A and potassium. Chili peppers are very high in vitamins A and C, but of course, they are rarely eaten in large quantities. Roasting Peppers Many recipes call for roasting peppers to remove the skin and intensify the flavor of the vegetable. To roast peppers, place them whole on a large baking sheet. Bake at 500 degrees for 20 minutes or until the skin is blackened and charred. Immediately place the peppers in a paper bag and seal the top. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until they cool. Peel away skin with your finger and discard the seeds. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

Rules for Maximizing Muskmelon Flavor By DRj DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Most home gardeners have had the unpleasant experience of discovering that the muskmelon they grew had a bitter or off-flavor. Here are some reasons a muskmelon can taste wrong. Although the comments refer specifically to the cantaloupe-type melons (botanical var. reticulatis), they also are applicable to the honeydew-type melons (botanical var. inodorus) Last Week of Growth Is a Crucial To Flavor The off flavor of muskmelons is due to a lack of sugars. Almost half of the final concentration of sugars is accumulated during the last week of fruit maturation so although care is necessary throughout the growing , season, it is most important at the end. There are thrre general rules to growing muskmelons. 1) maintain healthy foliage, 2) avoid excessive soil moisture, and 3) harvest only when Maintaiffwg healthy, green foliage until final not only keeps your garden looking nice, but also is important to the ripening fruit. Drought, nutrient deficiencies, and weed, insect, and disease stress can seriously limit the plant’s ability to ^ produce and develop fruit. Pest control programs, irrigation, and fertilizing must be practiced consistently as neglect during fruit ripening time can dramatically reduce fruit quality. Avoid excessive soil moisture. As expected, the effect of soil moisture on sugar content of muskmelon \ is particularly serious when the soil y is saturated or near-saturated for prolonged periods of time. Watch for Other Ways To Avoid Too Much Moisture Other conditions that limit photosynthesis, such as overcast skies, would accentuate 4he excessive moisture effect oh muskmelon quality. If you have soil that holds water or has drainage problems, plant your muskmelons on raised beds with organic matter mixed in to allow water to quickly move through the soil. Harvest the muskmeloms at or near full slip. The flavor, aroma, and texture of muskmelons are closely correlated with sugar content. Since there are no starch reserves in muskmelon flesh at harvest, there are no post-harvest increased in sugars. Muskmelons are of highest quality if harvested when they have reached their maximum sugar content. Nature has provided a unique way of identifying the ripening process in most varieties of muskmelons, especially the cantaloupe type. As the fruit approches maturity, a light growth crack (abscission layer) develops at the joint whye tjie fruit is attached to the stem. Melon Comes Loose Easily At “Full Slip” When this crack completely encircles the joint, the fruit is at the “full slip” stage and contains the highest amount of sugar it will attain under the conditions the plant was grown. The melon drops or slips easily from the vine when lifted and requires no tugging to loosen it from the stem. Frequent harvest (even daily) and cooking the fruit as soon after harvest as possible will allow you to pick at or just before the fruit reach “full slip.” Healthy green vines right up^tb harvest are essential for maximum fruit quality. Careful selection of disease resistant varieties and attention to proper fertilization, timing, irrigation, and regular and effective pest control programs are key factors to success. Frequent harvest at or near “full slip” maturity will help obtain high quality fruit from your garden.

SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics A favorite food of summer is fresh corn on the cob. And when cut from the cob, the possibilities for corn are endless. The key to success with any com . recipe is using the freshest com possible. The less time between the garden and the table, the better. When buying corn, select ears with snug, green husks and tender, milky pods. One kernel, gently punctured, can tell the story. If a milky juice flows out, the com is young and sweet. If the juice is thick and starchy, the com is older and will be less flavorful. If you must store com, buy it in the husks; then store in the refrigerator. This wiMielp prevent the sugar in com from turning to starch and tasting pasty, rather than sweet. Marinated Com Salad 1 3/4 cups yellow com cut from cah (about 4 ears) 1/4 cup water 1/2 small green pepper, cut int 1/2-inch strips 1/2 cup chopped celery 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions 1 tablespoon chopped pimiento 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoons cider vinegar 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper Combine com and water in a medium saucepan.
