Correction Charges against Admiral Josef Gardiner, chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals, for failure to file real estate disclosure forms by the December 31 deadline were dismissed in General District Court on March 24 on motion of Judge John Alexander. Last week's edition of the Rappahannock News mistakenly reported that the charges were dismissed on the recommendation of the commonwealths attorney. The commonwealth attorney's office entered no such motion. The News regrets the error. to cutting off the free fire and rescue dispatch service here. At no cost, the Culpeper sheriff's department currently dispatches four fire and rescue units as well as the sheriffs department in Rappahannock. With approximately $2,590 calls processed annually and dispatch service institute for two new Culpeper units, the fire and rescue association in the neighboring county recently asked Rappahannock to provide its own dispatch service as of July 1. According to Culpeper’s Association, this will reduce the number of calls by 525. Rappahannock, on the other hand, will be faced with a $60,000 plus price tag for setting up Its own system, using dispatchers operating under the sheriffs department. According to Col. E. P. Luke, chairman of the county board of supervisors, t|ie state compensation board hasn't reacted favorably to the prospect of paying salries for the 4.5 dispatchers necessary to dispatch three deputies here. He reported that the compensation board wants to see Culpeper and Rappahannock work out a cooperative arrangement. According to Luke, the board also indicated it will provide fimdV for equipment and additional salaries if such a contractual agreement can be reached. July 1 Deadline Gary Rosson, co-chairman of the dispatch study committee, said that the July 1 deadline for Rappahannock providing its own dispatch service still stands. The resolution endorsed unanimously Monday night calls for the Rappahannock Middleburg Point-To-Point The Middleburg Point-toPoint is set to open with a flat race at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Staff VI liter At 1:45 a.m. last Tuesday, after voting their way through the superintendent's 1981-82 budget item by item, the Rappahannock School Board lopped off the last $500 in a total of $106,991 to leave the bottom line of next year’s proposed school expenditures at $2,138,801. The new bottom line represents a 15 per cent increase over the current year's estimated expenditures. The budget must now go to the supervisors for approval. The final cut came in the gifted and talented program's instrumental music classes held after school. Earlier cuts took out the special services coordinator ($17,000), maintenance supervisor ($15,000). aides for special education and libraryguidance ($15,917), vehicle for transporting handicapped students ($21,300). public address system for the high school ($13,524), musical instruments ($3,290) and computer printer and service ($12,789). Over Robert Eastham's objections, a 12.4 per cent cost of living raise was applied to the salaries of all school employees with the exception of the superintendent's and assistant superintendent's positions. The representative from Wakefield District supported a nine per cent across-theboard raise for all employees to combat inflation and an additional three ner cent "step increase" for teachers in accord with their existing pay scale which is intended to rew ard experience. Fringe Benefits For the first time, the school board's proposed budget includes partial payment of hospitalization policy premiums for all 120 school employees. Superintendent William Bloomer had suggested that the board provide single person coverage with payment of the entire $450 premium at a total cost of $54,000. "I don't feel we can afford to go the whole wav this year." said chairman Beverly Massie. suggesting that Rappahannock follow Culpeper's example in matching 2.2 per cent of salaries to be applied to the payment of hospitalization premiums for all school employees. Miller noted, however, that new teachers at the bottom of the salary scale who are "the most hard pressed to meet medical expenses" will have the smallest portion of their premium paid under the chairman’s suggestion. Eastham's motion that the board pay no hospitalization died for lack of a second. Nancy Reeve put forward a second motion that the board match three per cent of employees' salaries toward hospitalization premiums at a cost of approximately $42,502, based on the total payroll of $1,416,746 as reported "by bookkeeper Tiny Carney. By unanimous vote with Eastham and Nelson AMISSVILLE LADIES AUXILIARY presented the fire department a check for a thousand dollars at the annual firemen’s banquet held Friday evening. Louise Smith made the presentation to Paul Poling. The fire company also received a check for $500 from the family of the late Braxton James in his memory and a fire helmet to be displayed in the trophy case in the firehouse. Amissville fire and rescue personnel, friends and guests enjoyed a sumptious ham and turkey dinner and musical entertainment. Delay On New Values Officially Approved By DAI’HNK HI T( HINSON Hu|)|){ihniiiin<'k V*h% Naff Vk rilrr At a special meeting on Monday, March 30, the Rappahannock supervisors unanimously appointed Jerry Hall appraiser for the 100 percent fair market value assessment to be completed in 1981. The vote by E. P. Luke. Hubert Gilkev and H. B. Wood, the three supervisors attending the early afternoon session, cleared the final block to delaying implementation of the new property values until 1982. If Hall did not sign the land book before midnight on March 31. he would be in contempt of court, according to supervisor chairman Luke. If the land book was signed before that deadline, however, it would require the county to implement the new 100 percent fair market values on their year's tax bills. In order for Hall to be protected. Col. Luke ex plained that the board must pass a resolution appointing the appraiser from the state department of taxation as the county's assessor for 1981. The other problem raised by a recent informal attorney general's opinion requested by the state department of taxation is the possibility of suit from unhappy landowners whose tax bills under the old discounted appraisals would be higher than under the new assessment, according to Luke. “It gets down to whether somebody's willing to sue us for S60 or SI 00.” the chairman said, describing the chances of such a suit as a “long shot." With his appointment for 1981. Hall assumes responsibility for assessment notices sent out to landowners whose property changed hands between January 1 and December 31. 1980. In addition, he will set fair market value on all > structures built during the same period. As part of his duties under the assessment extension, he also must hold hearings upon request on the values he's set. There was no mention at Monday’s meeting of any additional cost to the county for Hall’s extra duties. To help with additional work caused by the delay in implementation of the assessment and to meet the annual tax rush as the April 15 deadline nears, commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin asked the supervisors for authorization to keep the CF.TA employee assigned to her office past the April 10 expiration of the program. The CETA worker is paid $3.35 per hour, according to Scoggin. Clerk Diane Bruce reported that members of the board of equalization which will hear appeals on assessments have not been officially appointed yet by the (Continued on Page 4) Lane abstaining, the board agreed to provide the partial premium payment as a fringe benefit. Also under fringe benefits the school's retirement program was expanded to inelude bus drivers who will be considered full-time employees for the first time next year. In addition, the board's proposed budget includes payment of the premiums on mandatory lifeinsurance for bus drivers. Salary Cut The assistant superintendent’s suggested salary of $27,616 was decreased to $25,000 on the grounds that the proposed amount was "too close" to the superintendent's $31,000 salary. (Half the assistant superintendent's salary is paid from federal funds due to responsibilities for supervising federal Title I programs.) The board members knocked their proposed $6(X) raise from the budget as well, leaving compensation at this year's total of $2,400. In the same category of administrative costs. $1,000 was added to cover the new superintendent’s moving expenses. \ the only increase made in Dr. Bloomer's proposed budget. The other two additions—$7,000 to buildings and grounds and $3,000 to equipment under contracted maintenance services—were included in case the position of maintenance supervisor was dropped. In a 4-1 vote with Eastham opposed, the board awarded principals for both schools a 12.4 per cent raise and approved a proposed $730 "personal adjustment" in the elementary principal’s salary. The increase left the high school principal's compensation higher than the assistant superintendent's bv $333. explaining nis opposition. Eastham described his suggested nine per cent cost of living raise as generous and reasonable. He maintained that approval of a 12.4 per cent hike for the principals would commit the board to 12.4 per cent for all employees. Eastham argued that endorsement of a straight 12.4 per cent increase for all employees will effectively wipe out the teachers' step raise for experience. a move that will anger county citizens. "Nobody around us is offering 12.5 per cent." Eastham insisted. "No county in the state that I'm aware of." Despite his arguments, the board voted 4-1 to give 12.4 percent to all employees and to apply the same percentage increase to the teachers' extra dutv pay scale. Despite Reeve's outspoken support for a guidance library aide and Massie's reminder that the visiting committee on school accreditation had pin-pointed the need for additional guidance-library staff, the proposed aide position was eliminated by a 3-1 vote with Reeve opposed and Massie abstaining. The aide for special education, a position given a one-year waiver last year by the state, was likewise dropped. The SI3.(XX) proposed for psychological services was reduced to $11,240. leaving the administration the option to either increase the psychologist’s time by a halfday or contract with the mental health center for emotionally disturbed counseling, not both as suggested by the superintendent. Eastham abstained on the vote. "I’m opposed to increasing the labeling of children through this woman’s work," he said, in reference to the school psychologist. In deleting $21,300 for a (Continued on Page 4) A

REALTOR I BIG INCOME OR GOOD LOCATION? I Which is a better longterm investment - a highincome property in a deteriorating neighborhood or a low income property in a superior location? Based only on these facts, the lower income property in the good neighborhood is the better investment. Why? Because the most important factor to be considered in any real estate investment is location. Nothing else comes close in importance. It is extremely rare when property, in a prime location, turns out to be a bad investment in the long run. This is true even if too high a price is paid. As time goes on, the superior location will command higher rents which will outrun the market. The income base will rise as will the resale value of the property. On the other hand, the high income property in the deteriorating neighborhood will decrease in value, maintenance expense will increase and resale will be a problem, if possible at all.

We’re here to help. ART CRITICS CORNER By GEORGIA WALSWORTH Italian commedia dell’arte vas a highly structured Iramatic form which lourished into the early 18th Century. Venetian playwright. Carlo Goldoni, worked from this form and infused it with spontaneity and realistic comedy. From this gifted and prolific dramatist came “Servant of Two Masters,” a play which has apparently survived two centuries and the trip from Venice to Huntly losing none of its sparkle along the way. The audience at Wakefield School laughed as appreciatively as the Venetians must have and probably at the same lines that had them rolling in the canals two hundred years ago. An ambitious production for a group as small (and young) as the Wakefield Players. “Servant of Two Masters” presented many challenges to director Pamela Lynn and to the students in the cast. Perhaps the greatest challenge facing Lynn was that of instilling in the actors a feeling for the times and an overall understanding of the plot, while bearing in mind 20th Century tastes in humor and comedic timing. The actors seemed to have such a good time with the confusing plot and the clever lines that director Lynn obviously met this challenge. For the actors, the greatest challenge was probably in simply learning the lines. The speech patterns of 18th Century Italian translated to English are not the speech patterns of 20th Century teenagers. It must have been almost as difficult for these young actors to absorb and deliver these lines as it would be to recite a speech in an unfamiliar foreign language and imbue it with any meaning. At times this problem tripped up some of the cast, but in general they handled their lines skillfully. The plot — extremely simplified—concerns two couples (Clairice and Silvio and Beatrice and Florindoi who are having difficulties getting together, and their difficulties are further compounded by a servant, Truffaldino. who goes to elaborate lengths to serve two masters. Truffaldino' is on stage during most of the play, and puckish Todd Landis was just right for this demanding role. His asides and wry comments were delivered with flair. Chris White as Pantalone, father of Clairice. gave a comfortable and amusing performance employing good use of body language to make himself seem older. Halimah Holliday was a confident Beatrice and seemed to have a wonderful time on stage. While masquerading as a man, Beatrice has a swordfight with Silvio (Wynn Voeks) that was nicely orchestrated and well executed by Halimah and Wynn. Two smaller parts which deserve mention are that of Smereldina, a maid, played by Ophelia VonLudwig and Brighella, the innkeeper, played by Sara Haynes. Smereldina is cheeky and slighty bawdy, and Ophelia delivered her lines with ease and gleeful innuendo. The part of Brighella was quite small, but Sara Haynes stood out because of a certain maturity that she exuded and a good voice that carries without the strained pitch that most young actors need. Sets designed under the direction of Nancy Lowry were appropriately conceived and very attractive. And, as in any play directed by Pamela Lynn, the costumes were worthy of a Cecil B. DeMille production. Lynn carefully researches, designs and constructs each costume herself. It was worth the price of ticket just to see her elegant handiwork.

The April 7 edition reported: “New Industry Pledges Total of $13,500 In First Week.” The headline referred to the efforts of the Rappahannock Industrial Association and the fund raising drive they were conducting to provide an industrial site and building for the textile plant interested in opening a branch in Rappahannock County. The front page photo was of Mrs. Janies P. Jamieson, Secretary of the Rappahannock Hunt, presenting a trophy to Miss Lee Greenaway after she won the Col. Richard’s Memorial on Redmond. The hunt had been postponed several times because of the weather. Pitts Theatre in Front Royal was showing the Dairy of Ann Frank, The Oregon Trail with Fred McMurray. Pork Chop Hill with Gregory Peck, and Woman Obsessed with Susan Hayward. Smiths Better Mens’s Wear in Front Royal was selling sport coats from $19.74 to $35.00, and suits from $39.50 to $55.00. Also on sale in Front Royal was a Samsonite folding table for $9.95 at Weavers. 30 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE APRIL 6, 1950 edition of the Rappahannock News reported that the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Williams across from Wood Bros, packing house in Flint Hill was completely destroyed by fire. The 17room house and all of the personal property was totally lost. “Mr. and Mrs. Williams, who occupied the downstairs bedroom, were .able to snatch a few of their clothes out of the closet in their escape from the burning house. The bedroom in which they slept ignited about 10 to 15 minutes after they made their escape from the house.” Also on the front page was the robbery of the meat house of Sam Compton of Amissville: “He had heard no sound during the night but yesterday morning, about 11 or 12 pieces of meat were missing - five or six hams, four or five shoulders, and a piece of siding. Some of the hams were very large. In a County Board of Supervisors meeting the previous Wednesday, the Supervisors adopted the budget as presented by the budget committee with a $2 county tax levy for every district except Piedmont, which had an additional 15 cents for bonds.

Rappahannock New* Photo/Teresa Reynolds Our Rappahannock Heritage Delaying Fair Market Taxation May Be Costly By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock N**hn Staff XI ril«*r The decision by the Rappahannock supervisors to delay implementation of the new 100 percent fair market assessment figures may come back to haunt the county. The state department of taxation conducts a sales ratio study the year following a 100 percent market value assessment, comparing the new assessment figures with actual sales for that year. Law requires that reassessment values must be at least 70 percent of actual sales values. Should the ratio fall lower. ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) funds are withheld and penalties and interest deducted until the minimum is met. If Rappahannock's values are 60 percent of actual sales, appraisals can't just be raised bv 10 percent. Instead, the county must conduct another reassessment. Asked what the chances are for Rappahannock to meet that 70 percent mark with the delay of the implementation of the fair market values, appraiser Jerry Hall replied: “I don’t think they’re very good.” Hall said he used 1978-79 sales figures in setting appraisals for the county’s recent reassessment. With the supervisors’ decision to delay implementation until 1982, the appraisals will be compared to sales figures in 1982 instead of 1981, Hall noted. “Also, you have the board of equalization. Although their job is not to cut values, they could,” he said. This would bring appraisals down even further from 100 percent market value. especially when contrasted against actual sales in 1982, he indicated. Added Cost The usual money-conscious Rappahannock supervisors made no mention of any added cost in delaying implementation of the market value assessment other than added computer expense. But in order to postpone using the new appraisals for 1981 tax bills, the board passed a resolution, extending Hall’s contract and responsibilities for another year. The extra Dancers Scheduled For Concert Series Unexpected scheduling difficulties have caused the Community Concert Association to make a change in its schedule of artist appearances for the 19811982 season. According to Mrs. Paul Frantz, the Rappahannock County membership chairman, the Empire Brass Quintet scheduled to appear in the fall of 1982. has been cancelled due to transportation difficulties. The William Carter Dance Ensemble has been substituted. The Community Concert Association Board which selects the artists, while regretting the cancellation of the Empire Brass Quintet, has indicated its pleasure that the William Carter Dance Ensemble has been scheduled instead. The New York Times calls William Carter “one of the best dancers in American classic ballet. For that matter, he is one of the best dancers in the world". In commenting on the William Carter Dance Letter No Faith? To the editor: I am writing in reference to a recent comment made by one of the school board members. Mr. Eastham said he was offended by the teachers’ “lack of faith in the students.” I would like to say that I don't think Rappahannock County could have a group of more dedicated and trusting teachers. Our sponsors went before the school board for one reason and that was to get a list of guidelines. I personally don’t feel that you can ask a group of teachers to chaperone approximately 40 seniors without any guidelines. It is my understanding that the members of the school board were invited to go to Williamsburg as chaperones and they declined. What was the reason for this? No guidelines or a lack of faith? TAMMY JENKINS RCHS Senior Ensemble. Mrs. Frantz indicated that the group of five can be expected to present an exciting evening of ballet, jazz and Spanish flamenco to satisfy the most discriminating tastes. Every effort is being made to complete the spring membership drive for 19811982 of the Community Concert Association by the deadline of April 8. Active membership solicitation is presently going forward in Rappahannock. Culpeper, Orange. Madison and Fauquier Counties. For information call Mrs. Paul Frantz at 675-3212. New members are eligible to obtain tickets to the last of the 1980-1981 season concerts. featuring Keith and Rusty McNeil, folk singers, on April 17. Special Cattle Sale The Marshall Feeder Cattle Association has scheduled three sales in its spring series of special graded sales at Fauquier Livestock Exchange. The sales will be held on April 9. April 16 and April 23 at 7 p.m. Each will offer both calves (300-500 lbs.) and yearlings (500 lbs. up) from area cattle producers. The basic marketing concept underlying the special sales is to offer large groups of mixed-ownership feeder cattle in uniform lots according to grade, breed, sex and weight. To provide buyers with fresh quality animals, consigned cattle for these sales will be delivered to the sale barn on the respective sales dates. Lenten Service The ecumenical Lenten service scheduled for next Wednesday, April 8, at Trinity Episcopal parish hall in Washington will begin at 6:15 p.m. with a covered dish supper. The program for this meeting will be the Rev. Tom Herhek. pastor of Beth Carr and Kapidan Baptist Churches in Madison, with a discussion of grief. time doesn't come free. “I won’t know how much work I have to do until I study 1980 sales,” Hall said. Although no additional field work will be necessary, he said he could have to spend anywhere from seven or eight days to a couple of months more time here. "I'll have to do it on weekends so I’ll have to charge a higher rate,” he said, adding that he has yet to discuss charges with the supervisors. He empahsized that all decisions on reassessment are made by the board of supervisors, not the commissioner of revenue. “No part of the assessment is an operation of the commissioner of revenue. “No part of the assessment is an operation of the commissioner of revenue’s office. It’s all the board of supervisors. I am an employee of the supervisors. I only worked out of the commissioner of revenue’s office because the records are there." Hall said. He added that the commissioner's only responsibility for assessments is to appraise new buildings and land subdivided between assessments. “And for that, she uses the criteria that I set up in the assessment.” Hall concluded Assessment Delay (Continued from Page 1) circuit court judge. The prospective members must receive training prior to being formally named to the board of equalization. According to Bruce, Judge Shore Robertson will follow the recommendations of the board of supervisors with one exception: Herbert Barksdale will replace Phyllis Irwin as' the representative from Wakefield District. Alternative (Continued from Page 1) citizens in the two counties is not in any way jeopardized. He described the situation as a general attempt to improve dispatch service rather than a dispute between the two counties. Representatives from all of Culpeper’s fire departments and rescue squads, the board of supervisors and the sheriffs department as well as the county planner and administrator attended Monday’s meeting with personnel from Flint Hill. Amissville and Castleton fire and rescue companies and the Sperryville rescue squad. New School Positions Dropped (Continued from Page 1) handicapped vehicle from the proposed budget, the boaro agreed to continue using the station wagon in the school bus fleet for transporting handicapped students to and from Culpeper daily and for bringing one Amissvifle child confined to a wheel chair to and from school. Earlier, the board approved the addition of a driver’s position for transporting handicapped students. Also under transportation, the board agreed to base fuel costs at $1.80 per gallon for the $78,800 total for gasoline, oil and lubricants. , The last budget category, capital outlay, sparked another criticism of arts related programs from Eastham. As proposed by the superintendent, the line item included $1,000 for fire extinguishes. $1,000 for special ed equipment. $4,125 for the elementary school's emergency lights and $3,290 for musical instruments. “I’ll vote for the whole list if you substitute furniture for the teachers’ lounge for musical instruments." Eastham said. “Take those musical instruments and give them back to the store...1 want to trade a thing that's very questionable for a thing that’s desperately needed.” The furniture wasn’t added but on a unanimous vote with Mrs. Reeve abstaining, the musical instruments were cut. In addition. $12,789 for computer printer and service was also deleted from capital outlay. The cuts to expenditures in the superintendent’s proposed budget will result in a related decrease of $7,822 in federal funds on the revenue side of the ledger. Closed Session After an hour and a half executive session that preceded the budget review, the board unanimously approved per diem and ■ mileage payments to the new superintendent ot schools for the transition time he spends in the county prior to July 1 when he officially takes over the position. No amount was specified. Also in a student discipline case carried over from a long closed meeting the week before, the board authorized the high school principal to assign a specific bus seat to the student involved. New Positions Opposed "I think we ought to pay the existing personnel we have but I don’t think we ought to add more employees to the county's payroll." said Newbill Miller, in response to the proposed addition of a half-time speech therapist. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel explained that the current speech therapist works with approximately 65 students and is limited in the amount of time she can spend with each individual. Hiring another half-time person will give more perpupil time and increase the chances that speech problems can be corrected or reduced in severity, accordine to McDaniel. He noted that the position will be paid for with federal, not local, funds. "She is currently working with the maximum number (of pupils) and then some.” he said, adding that most ot the children in the speech therapy program are in grades kindergarten through third. The vote for the speech therapist position was 4-1 with Miller opposed. Although several of the members indicated support for indexed pay scales for teachers and other school employees, the board voted unanimously to reject the prpposed indexed scale > presented this year by the Rappahannock County Education Association. Mask Opposed Objecting to the diversion of energy and money from education, Eastham called for elimination of the gifted and talented program’s afterschool instrumental music classes. “We’re in this business for education, not artistic things,” he snapped. “Let’s get the childred educated!”» In the particular line item—compensaiton of other instructional staff Nelson Lane suggested retaining the $2,000 for instrumental music but paying the instructor less than the current $8 an hour and spreading the funds over more hours. He also proposed keeping the driver ed salary at $5 an hour and increasing class time to allow more students to participate. Limits on the number of students afforded behind-thewheel training are due to unwillingness of teachers to give up afternoons and weekends to instruct for only $5 an hour, the board was told. Mrs. Reeve’s motion to keep the line item at the $7,703 proposed by Bloomer with $2,000 for instrumental music, $2,480 for homebound instruction and $3,223 for driver ed (with compensation at $5.50) died for lack of a second. Asked for an explanation of how the music class started. McDaniel said it began in- response to the General Assembly's mandate under standards of Quality tor a gifted and talented program. Rappahannock was in only partial compliance under the gifted portion with after-school math and reading classes instituted three years ago. McDaniel said. The following year, instrumental music was included to meet the mandate for talented programs. For the first time this year, he said, both gifted and talented classes are offered during school hours with the instrumental music continuing after school. "I can see not starting a new service but I can't see abandoning a program we're committed to." said Chairman Beverly Massie. adding that classes are held after school because the instructor works with students at both the elementary and high schools. In addition. McDaniel noted, the instructor is also a full-time elementary classroom teacher during the school day. “I’m opposed in principle to continuing a stop-gap program.” announced Miller. After more discussion and more failed motions, the decision on instrumental music was tabled over the objections of Reeve and Massie. Taking the issue up again at 1:30 a.m. with Eastham's motion to drop the $2,000 for instrumental music. Mrs. Massie noted that a vote of approval would leave 35 students as well as their parents very disappointed and unhappy. "Life is full of disappointments.” Miller countered. Eastham's motion failed with Miller and Eastham voting for elimination of the instrumental music program. A final motion to cut $500 from instrumental music and set salaries for driver ed instructors at S5.75 an hour passed unanimously with Miller and Eastham abstaining. — Kapftthannni'fc Nrw* Photo/Court*** o| Laurir Your* WITH TWO WEEKS TO GO before the big event, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s Barn Dance Committee composed of (left to rightl Sam O’Connor, Helen Holschuh, Mitzie Young, Donna Parson, Margaret Gottlieb, Nels Parson and Waldron O’Connor met recently to work out a few last minute details.

It’s Lassie Stay Home For Skinner By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON nap|Mhaiin<M-k Nrwa Staff Writer Skipper has added a new wag to an old dog’s tale. For Nancy and Kent Reeve’s collie-springer spaniel mix, it's not “Lassie, come home." It’s “Lassie, stay home!” Like the canine heroine in Eric Knight’s classic. Skipper travels miles and miles and miles to be with his adored master. But his callused pads don’t come from crossing the breadth of Scotland and England. Skipper keeps his toe nails worn down by trotting along the side of Route 211 every morning on his trek from the Reeve family’s home in Gid Brown Hollow to the welfare office in Washington where Nancy works. Neither sleet, snow, rain nor hail can stay Skipper from his eight-mile jaunt. He’s as dependable as the U. S. mail—almost. Ropes and chains don’t deter the canine Houdini. He can slip a collar faster than an escape-artist can wiggle out of leg irons and shackled trunk resting on a river bottom. Police dogs could pick up a few hints on tracking from Skipper if the long-haired traveler could ever reveal the secret of how he found the welfare office on that first trip down from the hollow years ago. “Skipper’s been following me for so long that I can't remember when he started. It’s been three or four years,” said Nancy Reeve. "We’ve never taken our animals anywhere with us so he must have followed the car. I was driving a real oil burner. Maybe he smelled the oil and followed the smog! “I don’t know what makes him think he has to go to work,” she continued. Initially, dog power carried Skipper both ways. He ran in behind Nancy in the morning and followed her back home at quitting time. Counting days off for federal holidays and vacations and the few occasions when more pressing doggie business kept Skipper from the office, he logged about 3,000 miles a year on the round trip. After three years, he must have sat down with an efficiency expert and figured that there was a waste of energy somewhere. “Now he won’t run back home,” Nancy reported. "He wants his ride home. He stays in — Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson SKIPPER RESTS on the welfare department porch after his eight mile run, a jaunt he makes daily from Gid Brown Hollow to Washington. Herd In Angus Assoc. J. M. Gardiner, a Flint Hill Angus cattle breeder, recently enrolled his Ancor Stock Farm herd in the Angus Herd Improvement Records program of the American Angus Association. Angus Herd Improvement Records (AH1R) is a comprehensive within-herd evaluation program used by cattlemen to help them keep records of reproduction, and growth rate on individual animals. Each year hundreds of Angus breeders use AHIR records to produce more profitable, efficient Angus seedstock.

Dial 948-4010 town visiting with his friends until we pick him up.” Recently, Skipper has claimed the roadway in front of the welfare office as his private preserve and takes seriously the job of protecting his turf. Hidden in a “cave” underneath Nancy’s pick-up truck, he creeps out slowly and cautiously as a vehicle approaches, stalking the car and then dashing along beside it until it re-enters public property. In between shifts on pavement patrol. Skipper grabs quick naps in the welfare office doorway. The Reeves have tried to discourage their pet from his self-appointed escort and protection duties but with little success. Tie Skipper up and he chews his way through the rope in no time. He has a sixth sense that sends out an alert when Nancy’s ready to get serious. “He knows when I'm going to tie him. When I go out in the morning to feed him and tie him up. he’s gone already if he's planning to come into work that day. He runs down to the bottom of the hill and waits in the bushes until we drive by. We stop and tell him to go back and he minds. He'll turn right around and walk slowly back up the hill until you start the car.” Then as soon as Nancy starts up again, he’ll dash back to follow. She can stop and he’ll turn back around and pretend he never stopped going home in the first place. Skipper has become a fixture on Route 211 in the mornings. Everyone driving along the stretch keeps one eye open for the four-legged commuter. Somewhere along the line, he picked up some safety rules. Skipper keeps to his side of the shoulder, stopping whenever speeders zoom by and generally moving in the opposite direction of traffic. "I worry that someone’s going to hit him one of these days,” Nancy said. “He needs to go to obedience school. He's worse than my kids!” she joked. “I guess Skipper's just a perpetual jogger.” Trout Stocking I rout fishermen from Rappahannock will have to travel to other areas for the opening of the trout fishing sejfcon on Saturday, April 4. for none of the streams in Rappahannock were stocked this year.

Licensed Auctioneer NOTICE TO THE PUBUC OF HEARING TO CONSIDER IMPLEMENTATION OF SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC SERVICE RATES The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (the “Act”) requires the State Corporation Commission to giv e public notice and conduct a public hearing on whether electric utlities should place into effect a special rate for essential needs of residential electrical consumers which is below the cost of providing electric service to the residential class of customers. This special rate has been known as a ‘lifeline” rate. Hie State Corporation Commission has scheduled a public hearing on June 1, 1981, in Senate Room B, General Assembly Building, 9th and Capitol Streets, Richmond, Virginia, commencing at 10:00 a.m. for the purpose of receiving public comment on whether The Potomac Edison Company should implement a lifeline rate for residential electric service. To be helpful comments should address one or more of the issues before the Commission, such as: How should the Commission define the class of customers who would receive the benefit of a lifeline rate? If a lifeline rate is for essential needs of residential customers - how should “essential needs” be defined and measured? Who should pay for the reduced rates benefitting a particular class of customers? How much of a reduction in rates should be provided under a lifeline rate? Would the social objectives of a lifeline rate be achieved more equitably, efficiently or effectively through a program other than adjustment of electric service rates? On and after April 13,1981, results of the Commission Staffs investigation of lifeline rates together with appropriate provisions of the Act that must be considered by the Commission will be available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Kemstown, Luray and Madison, Virginia, and Franklin, West Virginia offices of The Potomac Edison Company and at the Commission’s Document Control Center, Floor Bl, Jefferson Building, Richmond, Virginia. Persons wishing to file written comments with the Commission on the subject matter of this proceeding, the issues stated above and all other matters relevant to implementation of lifeline rates may file an original and four (4) copies of such comments on or before May 11,1981. Such written comments shall be addressed to the State Corporation Commission, Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23216, making reference to Case No. PUE800091. Any interested person wishing to m*k« an oral statement on his own behalf at the June 1, 1981 public hearing should so notify the Commission in writing on or before May 25,1981.

Jackie Estes Hitches Her Wagon To Horses= By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rippahannwk 1N«t*b Staff Writer “Get a horse!” ( The familiar shout that greeted the Model T Ford so many years ago is making a comeback. Horses and buggies may never reclaim the highways from Motor City but draft horses, descendants of the magnificent beasts that carried knights in shining armor into battle, have returned to Virginia farms. Handsome Percherons that thundered across Camelot’s jousting fields, leggy Clydesdales recognized nationally and internationally as the symbol of the Budweiser Brewery, giant Shires with their feathred feet, solid Belgiums and chunky Suffolk Punches are cantering out of the pre-automotive past into a present once the solid domain of king tractor. Tractor dealers aren’t going out of business under the advance of pounding hoofs. The gasoline engine is still the prime source of farm energy but teams of Percherons are replacing a John Deere here and an International there in helping the farmer plant and harvest. Jackie Estes is in the forefront of the movement that’s hitching Old Bob back up to the plow. When she’s not sorting mail, Amissville’s postmaster is in the pasture across from Mills’ Store at Estes, bouncing around on a training sled behind Stinky and Kit, her two-year-old draft horse fillies. Stalls in the Estes’ barn are double-sized, designed to give plenty of room to draft animals that top the scales at a ton or more. The fillies share the stable with Kate, the black Percheron mare that was Jackie’s first draft horse, Kate’s two-year-old gelding son Flapjack and another mare bought solely for breeding to one of the purebred draft stallions now standing the Piedmont area. Hone Instructon The fillies—one a bay Percheron and the other a V* Belgium, % Percheron—were * started in harness last fall. Kate could have taught Stinky and Kit. For hundreds of years, farmers have been hitching older, experienced animals with youngsters for training. “An old horse will teach the young ones everything they ever wanted to know,” Jackie acknowledged. The 17-year-old mare certainly has the qualifications for an instructor. Bought from Joe Lawson in Orange, she’s been in harness for almost two decades. “Kate’s fun. She’s been a logging horse all her life. You can hook her to anything and she’ll go. We had a 32 foot log that must have been 16 inches at the butt end. She pulled that in and out and around, up and down hills—you just can’t make Kate quit pulling. You hook her to anything you want and it will move even if she has to get down and scrabble,” Jackie said. But with three novices at driving—herself and the fillies—Jackie decided to be teacher so all three could learn together. Since her budget didn’t include funds for special equipment, she started Stinky and Kit in halters with two lead shanks tied as reins. It wasn’t a cowboy’s hang-on-until-theystop-bucking approach to horse breaking. Purchased as weanlings, the fillies were quiet and gentle, used to having Jackie lead them, groom them, pet them and feed them. “We worked by trial and error when we began training,” Jackie recalled.

Haul Manure Kit and Stinky regularly haul the manure spreader after just a few months of weekly training sessions limited on one end by the demands of Jackie's full-time job and at the other end by short winter days. Now that the arrival of spring has stretched daylight hours past 5 p.m., she anticipates longer than 20 minute turns in harness for her team. With the extra work, Jackie plans to have the fillies put out a little corn this year and soon rake hay and clip and drag pastures. The pair istj’t ready yet to be hitched to a plow since as two-yearolds, they’re not mature enough to pull heavier weights. “All three of us need to learn a little more before we try the plow,” Jackie said. “But they’re becoming more and more practical,” she added. ‘ “1 can already spread manure and not burn " a drop of gas!” Practicality is half the key to Jackie’s involvement with draft horses. As the price of fuel continues its rapid march towards $2 or more per gallon, horses are becoming the wave of the future in farming rather than an echo from the past. “We have a lot of city farmers with 15 or 20 acres. They might give a little thought to draft horses as an alternative to the high cost of fuel and equipment. A horse can raise all his own feed and you milk cow’s too!” For logging, there’s no comparison between a horse and a tractor, according to Jackie. Selective cutting ends up looking like clear cut by the time a tractor rolls over and through trees that stand in its way. A good draft horse, on the other hand, can drag out felled trees without damaging the smallest seedling. And the horse needs little or no supervision on its route. Lumberjacks can hook the logs to the harness, send the horse on its way through the woods to the pick-up site where loaders can unhook the logs and then turn Old Bob around for the return trip and another haul. Investment Potential “Big agri-business farms ‘ are getting draft horses back as a sideline or an investment,” Jackie reported. The returns on breeding can be substantial, she said. “It can be a real elitiest thing. Some nut in the midwest just paid $50,000 for a pair of Belgium mares!” Draft horses, like tractors, can be depreciated on tax returns, according to Jackie. At the same time, she pointed out, a mare can keep 3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS $68.00 Per person double occupancy ■ Ideally located Busch Gardena Colonial Williamsburg . 0*J* 1 1 miles w Includes: 3 days and 2 nights at the new Best Western Williamsburg.

There are several ways of correcting the problem, including surgery and the use of devices to correct the imbalance of the foot Reminder: you may be young with only a corn, but your feet must last you for a lifetime.

The price tag on breeding draft horsepower hasn’t kept abreast of the expense of breeding a potential stakes winner or a good hunter prospect. “Draft horse people have not gotten absolutely asinine about stud fees like the thoroughbred people have. For $150 to $250, you can still breed to the very best around,” Jackie said. Draft breeds are also suited to the elderly horse lover who may be too old to start riding but now has the time and the money to indulge a passion for horses that he’s carried since a kid. Like the Gydesdales that haul the Budweiser wagons, draft horses can be driven just for fun. “You get a super-dooper fancy draft horse and a super-dooper fancy cart, and you look just as spiffy as anybody’s hackney,” Jackie maintained. Particularly for the inexperienced, draft horses for driving offer a plus over the more hot blooded hackneys, trotters and pacers. “They have a consistent, even disposition. They’re not as flighty as many other breeds,” Jackie noted. Easy Keepers More size doesn’t necessarily mean more money for feed bills. "People see my horses and they say ‘Good lord! What do they eat? They’re so huge!’ Jackie laughed. “They’re like me. I can walk down the aisle at a grocery store and put on pounds. They can come through the winter in good shape on pasture,” she said. “They do very well on a lot less than other horses.” Jackie Estes can trot out all the arguments for using draft horses in today’s farming operations but practicality isn’t the only reason why she has a born full of Percherons. Jackie just plain loves horses. “I get along better with horses than with most people. I’m usually more comfortable with horses,” she admitted. She easily handles the five tons or so of horseflesh in her stable, totally unfazed by massive hoofs that could flatten her feet into pancakes and never even know they’d stepped on anything. At the sound of her voice, the big heads swing around in their stalls with ears cocked to catch the greetings she gives to each horse. Jackie talks about the animals almost as if they were human. Flapjack, the two-year-old gelding is the “most dimwitted” horse she’s ever worked with, according to Jackie. “The traces hit him on the legs and he’s ready to run all the way to Culpeper! I’d dearly love to unload him—he’d make a good farm-type horse—but he's Rappahannock |*hotn/C«mr1«**y of Rill ^ mini! TWO HORSEPOWER and not a single drop of gas is what it takes to spread manure from Jackie Estes’ stable. Stinky and Kit, her two-year-old draft horse fillies, were started in harness just last fall. With continued training, they'll eventually take over more of the planting and harvesting duties from husband Adolph’s tractors. Kate’s first born son! I don’t think we’ll ever be able to give him up." Old Tom If watching Jackie pet and croon to her Percherons doesn’t flash her love for horses like a neon sign, the star bordered on the Estes farm is a dead give-away. Sway backed, half-lame and losing his back teeth, old Tim is somewhere over 30—the horsey equivalent of a centenarian and then some. He’s living out his last days in comfort, a reward for hours of happiness he gave countless horse loving kids. As a youngster growing up in Falls Church, Jackie haunted the horseback riding stables where Tom was one of the star attractions.

Lalham HONORED FOR SERVICE—James B.

Making the presentation was Jack Atkins, president of the organization. Draft Horses (Continued trom rage n their money’s worth, always going willingly and cheerfully for even the rankest novice, she recalled. Seven years ago, Jackie and her husband Adolph, a Rappahannock farmer with the same love for equipment and machinery that Jackie has for four-legged horse power, revisited the barns where she spent so much of her time. There was Tom, standing knee deep in manure, sweat pouring off him. The stable’s owner said she was taking the old trooper to the Front Royal sale the following day where she hoped to get a few dollars for him instead of just waiting for the way-over-thehill horse to die. But his guardian angdl stepped in. Jackie bought Old Tom for $100 and vanned him to Estes where he’s been “a wonderful babysitter for the calves" ever since. Jackie said she wonders sometimes whether it wouldn't be kinder to put the old horse down but her husband is adamant. Tom will go to his final sleep when the good Lord’s ready. In the meantime, he has the run of the stable and pasture. ‘‘He goes wherever he wants to. Everybody else moves. If he could fit through the door, he could probably go home with us," Jackie said, smiling as she patted Tom’s neck. Jackie Estes is serious about her involvement with draft horses. In addition to the hours she spends driving Kit and Minky, the weekends devoted to their continued schooling and the afternoons and evenings hauling hay, filling feed buckets and forking out dirty stalls, she volunteers her time as president of the three-yearold Virginia Draft Horse Association, a statewide organization dedicated to promoting breeding, use and interest in draft horses. The signs are encouraging. Jackie reported that Belle Grove Plantation is Middletown in conjunction with the association will sponsor draft horse day this summer complete with pulling contest and demonstrations of blacksmithing, harnessing, plowing and driving. The association Jias been invited for the first time to put on a demonstration at the prestigious Upperville Colt and Horse Show. In addition, Jackie said, Virginia’s 4-H judging championships to be held this year at Rapidan River Farm will include draft horses. As part of her unofficial position as draft horse ambassador, Jackie recently hosted the Rappahannock Horse and Pony Club for an afternoon of getting acquainted with Percherons. The 4-H’ers all practiced driving her two-horse team as well as harnessing the fillies and then went for a ride in the spreader after the manure was dumped. "Some of the kids did real well.

The Rappahannock youngsters were also very successful in their first time out in competitive judging of draft horses. In a recent contest, according to Jackie, two county kids scored 48 while a third tallied a perfect 50 points. The growth of interest in draft horses has led to wider membership in the Virginia Draft Horse Association. Jackie is quick to point out that you don’t have town a Percheron or Belgian to join. Anyone with an interest in draft breeds is welcomed at the meetings, pot luck suppers, hay rides and sleigh rides, whre they can meet the horses as well as the horse owners in the group. Jackie Estes is convinced that exposure to her fourlegged friends will turn a horse fancier into a committed draft horse enthusiast. She frowns at the popular view of draft horses as underbred, clunky plugs. "A good draft horse has conformation as fine as a thoroughbred's. The criteria are all the same. They need fine heads and good, straight legs...Draft horses command respect. Not just for their size. They’re bread and butter, honest, work-all-day horses.” she concluded. Special Easter Performance Set “The Seven Last Words of Christ” will be performed on Palm Sunday, April 12, by members of Front Royal church choirs. “The performing of the ‘Seven Last Words of Christ' had been a custom of the Front Royal Oratorio Society until a few years ago.

Soloists for the performance will be Melanie Cardiol, soprano; Alice Litwin, soprano; Tom Bowen, baritone; and Gary Smallwood, tenor.
