VIRGINIA Phone 6T3-3349 25* Board Orders $120,000 Cut In School Budget By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer The board of supervisors during its regular meeting May 6 ordered the school board to slash $120,000 from the proposed school budget. The action was taken after a long and chaotic discussion during which the supervisors became hopelessly mired in budget details. Typical confusion arose when the board’s informal calculations showed an increase in the budget after allowing for the $120,000 cut. Attempts to clear up the matter failed. With the exception of Chairman Hubert Gilkey III, who supports the proposed budget, Supervisors Charles K. Estes, Clarence Baldwin, Richard Latham and Nelson Lane all agreed that the budget as proposed was unacceptable because of the “high” increase in taxes it would require. Supervisors Estes and Lane both estimated that the proposed budget, if passed, would boost taxes from the current 52 cents per $100 of assessed value on real estate to 72 cents. Each cent is worth approximately $22,000 to the county’s treasury. The board’s decision to cut $120,000 from the budget came as a blow to county teachers, wrho were calling for an average increase in salary of about 10 percent and five percent in retirement benefit. Their hopes were dashed, however, when administrators and supervisors alike agreed that the cuts would have to come from the salary portion of the budget. Throughout the meeting, a majority of supervisors made clear their feelings that the proposed increase in salary for teachers was too high. Supervisor Estes combined the proposed 11 percent (10.04 actual) average increase in teachers’ salaries to the 5 per cent increase in retirement benefit. “That’s 16 percent,” he said. “That’s quite an increase. I don’t think the tax payer will stand for it. I can’t bring myself to ask for that kind of a tax hike.” Supervisor Lane said he would give the five percent retirement benefit to teachers in addition to a 4 percent increase in salary. “That’s all I can do. That’s already going to raise taxes,” he argued. At that point, Don Bomberger, a teacher at the high school, told Lane that with that increase teachers in Rappahannock would fall farther behind teachers in surrounding counties. Bomberger was referring to the now widely known fact that Rappahannock’s teachers are paid less than teachers in surrounding counties. Supervisor Latham also was prepared to give the five percent retirement benefit. A§ for the rest of it “let’s (Continued on Page 13) Sperryville Sewage System \ ‘Relatively Underway’ By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority held its regular meeting on Thursday, May 2 and the members were told by Hank Gerhart, engineer with Buchart-Horn, Inc. of Williamsburg, that construction of the Sperryville Sewage System has begun. “The plant contractor is making progress, although he’s having a tough time finding fill dirt,” Gerhart said. “The sewer line contractor has about three miies of sewer line staked out and he’s waiting on materials to get here b fore he starts, but I would anticipate him starting within a week to 10 days.” That adds up to the system being “relatively underway,” Gerhart said. With the good news that actual construction of the long-awaited system is progressing, authority members discussed some matters that have proven to be problem areas. One such area discussed was the necessity of fding condemnation certificates on property belonging to five individuals since they refused to sign easement agreements. An easement agreement gives one property owner the right to use the property of another. The WSA has been working on having all of the property owners in Sperryville sign the agreements so that collection lines can be laid. When the certificates of condemnation are filed in the County Clerk’s office, the WSA will have title to the land that is needed for the collection lines or for access to the plant. The landowners can then either accept the appraised value of the land, negotiate the value or ask the circuit court to have a condemnation commission determine the fair value of the land. Four other agreements have not been returned, but authority member Carson Johnson said that those property owners have indicated that they will sign. Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, updated the authority on another of the areas that has claimed the authority’s attention in the past. The authority had been advised that there would be some property owners who would have to have the electrical systems in their homes upgraded to handle the septic pump that will be installed. Six out of the 46 landowners to be serviced by the system may have some financial difficulty in having the electrical work done, Cilimberg said.

Town Planners Hold First Meeting By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock N«w» Staff Writer The Town of Washington’s newly formed planning commission began its official existence at its first meeting on Thursday, May 2. The five members elected officers, set a regular monthly meeting date and decided to hold a public hearing on the proposed historic district ordinance. The commission officers are: chairman, Frank Reynolds; vice-chairman, Bill Wickens and secretary, Dan Lewis. The commission will meet every fourth Wednesday of the month at 8 p.m. in the courthouse. After taking care of the organizational details, the commission discussed the historic district ordinance proposed by the town council. The ordinance would establish an architectural review board that would study plans for buildings within the historic district to make sure that the buildings would conform to the period between Washington’s founding and 1900. Besides studying the colors and (Continued on Page 13) Lions’ Auction To Be Held Saturday The Rappahannock Lions Club will hold its annual auction on Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. at the Washington Fire Department. Tom Reese from Remington will be the auctioneer. Items collected for the auction include a Victorian-style couch, a floor model color TV, a two-wheel garden tractor with all of the implements, a stereo/radio/record player system and games and puzzles. There will also be new items or gift certificates donated by local merchants. “The auction is one of two major fundraising projects for the Lions, and it goes a long way toward helping us help others,” said Guy Foster who is organizing the auction this year. “In years past we have raised around $1,500, and we would like to top that this year.” " . The money raised will go into the club’s general hind, but the Youth Athletic Association is the major group in the county that receives support from the Lions. “We are going to have over 200 kids involved in baseball alone this summer,” Foster said. “We use the money for equipment like balls, safety equipment, bats, gloves and uniforms besides the cost of insurance.” This year, there will be a 12 and under team playing as a Lions Club team in appreciation for the Lions’ contributions. Anyone wishing to donate items for the auction may call Foster at 9878939. The Lions will arrange to pick up larger items, such as appliances, as long as they are in working condition or can easily be repaired. “We have a lot of fun at the auction, and refreshments will be served for those who missed dinner and anyone else who gets a little hungry,” Foster said. Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley DAVID AND BERNICE CHESLER of Massachusetts peddled their way through Rappahannock last week. Bed And Breakfast Tour Takes Bicyclers Through County By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Bicyclers along the road are always a source of interest to those who are traveling in cars. Especially if the cyclers have all of the professionallooking gear, questions about where they are from, where they are going and why they want to go on bicycles will be asked among riders in an automobile. For David and Bernice Chesler of Massachussetts, a trip through Rappahannock last week with an overnight stay at Meadowbrook Bed and Breakfast in Slate Mills, was part of their vacation. They started their trip a week and a half earlier at Dulles Airport and were on their way to Luray before heading back. The Cheslers planned their trip so that they would ride 30-35 miles a day to stay at a different bed and breakfast each night. Although this was the first such trip in Virginia for the Cheslers, they have taken numerous other bike trips all over the northeast. Proof of their experience can be found in Bernice Chesler’s book, Bed and Breakfasts in the Northeast, which includes information on 300 bed and breakfasts from Maine to Washington, D.C. and 200 reservation services all over the country. Reservation services match the family to hosts of bed and breakfasts. The book is published by Globe Pequot Press of Chester, Conn. “It has been nationally acclaimed as the most useful bed and breakfast book on the market,” Bernice said. “This trip is not a research trip, just our style of vacation, but the second edition of the book will likely include Virginia.” Virginia’s roads and scenery had impressed the Cheslers as they traveled through the Shenandoah Valley and the Charlottesville area. David plans the trips and acts as guide, and he was glad to find his job made easier by the presence of road signs. “We stopped and talked to a state highway worker and told him that we appreciated the way the roads are kept,” he said. The Cheslers plan their trips around the locations of bed and breakfasts and around how to get to their daily destinations on the least traveled roads possible. “We travel mostly on rural roads, and throughout this trip we’ve been able to ride two abreast most of the way,” Bernice said. “You get a different sense of the scenery on bicycles because you’re outside without a motor, and you can ride along and listen to the birds.” Bed and breakfasts have made it possible for the Cheslers to stay out of the cities during their trips. They have also been able to meet the interesting people who operate bed and breakfasts. “On this trip, we’ve stayed with a horticulturalist, a sales person, educators, an antique dealer and retirees,’ Bernice said. “The first host we stayed with had a horse that was expecting a foal, so she stayed in the bam the night we were there.” The homes are also usually interesting since most date from the 18th and 19th centuries. ‘We remember the people more, though,” she said. “Because of the book, I’ve received over 2,000 letters from travelers all over the world who want to share their experiences with other hosts.” The Cheslers er\joy their trips not only because of their rides through beautiful countryside, but also because of their stays in the various bed and breakfasts. “Stays in bed and breakfasts are sharing experiences,” Bernice said. Then the Cheslers were off again on their way to Luray and another bed and breakfast experience. See Gold Cup Story On Sports Page

This delayed germination and growth of the seedlings. Then the record low temperatures early in the year dealt the little seedlings a terrific blow. All timothy varieties survived and excellent stands are present this spring. Timothy is primarily a nothern species, barely able to survive our summer temperatures but it can easily take any winter temperatures that we have. All the perennial ryegrass varieties survived, though some varieties are greener and have more growth than others. About 50% of the tall fescue seedlings survived. All seedlings of Triumph, _ the variety developed in Alabama appear to be killed. Essentially all orchardgrass seedlings were killed. Orchardgrass is just not nearly as winter hardy as timothy and is somewhat less than tall fescue.

The rye plants were green and vigorous with 6-8 inches of growth while the ryegrasses were 2-3 inches tall. This is the primary reason for using rye for fall, winter, and early spring grazing in Virginia instead of the ryegrasses. By the time ryegrass begins to really grow in the spring, perennial pasture grasses such as bluegrass, orchardgrass, and tall fescue are alsu available. Harvest Hay On Time The biggest contributing factor to poor quality hay is that a very high percentage of it does not get harvested as early as it should be. There is an awful lot of orchardgrass and fescue and both of these forages make very good to excellent quality hay for beef cows and other cattle if they are properly harvested. The problem is, a high percentage of this kind of hay simply does not get made when it should be and so the quality is much lower than it might be if harvest occurred when the plants were at an earlier stage of maturity. Spring is perennially a very poor time to make quality hay and yet, it is the time of year wThen our biggest volume of hay in Virginia should be made. An awful lot of our fescue and orchardgrass winds up being cut when it is in full bloom or later, and, of course, produces low quality hay. Make every effort this year to get your orchardgrass and fescue hay made w hen the plants are in their early bloom stage. It sure doesn’t take them long to slip from this stage to full bloom, so this means May must be haymaking month for a lot of our hay. Another thing to consider is that when we get first cutting hay harvested earlier, we have more tons of better quality second and third cutting hay. Legume hays such as alfalfa and clovers and mixed hay for that matter should be cut when these legumes are in the early bloom stage which means that an awful lot of this kind of hay will be ready to cut in May and early June. Get your equipment oiled up and ready to roll and consult with the weatherman for good curing weather. After hay has been baled, go ahead and take samples and send to the VPI Forage Test Lab for analysis. Store that information away and be ready to put it to use in balancing rations when feeding next wdnter.

Scot To Judge Sheep Dog Trial Mrs. Viv Billingham, from Yetholm, Kelso, Scotland, will fly to this country to judge the Blue Ridge Open Sheep Dog Tnal to be held on May 11 and 12 at Sunnybrook Farm, White Post, Virginia. ALPO Petfoods Center is sponsoring the trial. Sheep dog trialing has become a fast growing sport in the United States in the past ten years. Several years ago there was only one trial in the State of Virginia, now there are at least one a month. The Blue Ridge Trial, in its third year, is emerging as one of the biggest trials in the East with handlers coming from Massachusetts to Alabama to Indiana. Two handlers from California have requested information on the trial. Viv Billingham is a full time shepherdess in the Cheviot Hills in southern Scotland. She and her husband, Geoff, have charge of two large flocks of sheep in the Duke of Rosburgh’s estate. She has been featured on the popular BBC television series “One Man and His Dog.” In 1983 she was a member of the Scottish team at the International Sheep Dog Trials at Blair Athol in Scotland. To be a member of one of the national teams in Great Britain a Dog and handler must place in the top fifteen at one of the National trials in England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland. Most of the national trials have from 150 to 200 dogs competing to get on their country’s team. Eric Halsall, commentator on the “One Man and His Dog” series, says of her: “She is regarded as an equal in the competitive world of sheep dog trials — quite a feat in what is regarded almost solely as a man’s world.” Mrs. Billingham is the author of a book entitled “One Woman and Her Dog” which is very popular in Great Britain. She is in the midst of a second, “The Shepherd’s Wife.” After the Blue Ridge Trial Mrs. Billingham will instruct a three-day sheep dog handler training clinic at Sunnybrook on May 14, 15 and 16. The trial will start at 8:00 a.m. both days and will run until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. The clinic will start at 9:00 a.m. all three days. Both will run rain or shine. Spectators should bring their own chairs For information on the trial or clinic call Mrs. Bryan Conrad in White Post at 837-1064, or Mrs. Candace Terry in Hamilton at 338-4254.

Main St. Culpeper, Va. 703-825-6500 Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley THE SPERRYVILLE RESCUE Squad has 16 active members. Members pictured are: 1-r; James Burke, Curtis Crawford, Jody Wingfield, Rick Johnson and Sherry Johnson. Volunteers’ Dedication Keeps Sperryville Rescue Squad Going By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad began operating in 1969 when eight charter members decided there was a need for rescue service in the Sperry ville area. Since its beginning, the squad has been sustained primarily through the dedication and sacrifices of the members. The squad now has 16 active members, seven of which are trained Emergency Medical Technicians. The rest of the members are classified as drivers, and three members are taking the EMT certification course. Jody Wingfield joined the squad four years ago originally just to keep the books. “Then they started saying, ‘You need to learn CPR,’ so I did that and then before I knew it I was taking the EMT training,” Wingfield said. Last year, she went on about 75 percent of the squad’s calls. “If I’m at home, and that tone goes off, I’m gone,” Wingfield said. She was referring to the tone used by the dispatch center to signal the squad members that an emergency call in their area has been received. The tone is transmitted through a paging system. Besides covering the Sperryville area, the squad also handles calls up to the top of Luray Mountain. “One of the problems is that it takes at least 30 minutes to get to a hospital from wherever we go on a call,” Wingfield said. Another problem that faces the squad, along with all of the other volunteer departments in Rappahannock, occurs when an emergency call comes in during the day. “We are hurting through the day because all of us have jobs, and only rarely can anyone leave to go on call,” Wingfield said. All of the departments have been cooperating on calls, especially during the day, but the problem of getting enough people to answer the calls still remains. “Some of the people in the community who don’t work during the day need to start joining their local departments,” Wingfield said. The Sperryville squad also needs some volunteers to form a ladies’ auxiliary. “Since we don’t have an auxiliary, the members have to raise funds for the squad, too,” Wingfield said. “We have a fund drive letter campaign dur Rag. $169.95 SAVE $42.00 AT $13995 ms NOT JUST A BARGAIN, IT’S A ST/HL THE NEW STIHL FS-51 AVE Ideal for around home trim-up ! • ADJUSTABLE LOOP HANDLE .

Operating costs continue to rise every year, especially as the number of calls continue to increase. “We ran over 115 calls last year, and this year we are averaging 10 to 15 calls a month so far,” Wingfield said. The squad has applied for a grant that would cover pail of the $6,800 cost of a Hurst power tool, called the “jaws of life” in recognition of its ability to free people trapped in vehicles. The squad’s other equipment needs includes a portable suction tank, mast trousers for a child (acts as a blood pressure cup for the body) and a new ambulance. The ambulance in use now is a 1977 model. Once the new equipment is obtained, squad members will then have to take more training classes. “The Hurst power tool will require training, and we hope to advance to a shocktrauma class in the future.” said Rick Johnson, one of the squad’s captains. Members also have to be trained to become drivers for the squad. James Burke has been a driver for over a year, and he took the defensive driving course that is required of all of the drivers. “I don’t have the time to go through the EMT training, but I did Keesey To Attend Reunion The International Student House Alumni Association will hold its first reunion Sunday, May 19 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the International Student House in Washington, D.C. The International Student House was founded in 1936 by the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization, to offer foreign and American students a place where they could live and meet together and learn to understand each other better. In 1962, it became a non-profit corporation managed by a board of directors consisting of interested members of the Washington community. Since 1936, the House has served thousands of students from practically every country in the world. The emphasis on the first alumni reunion, bringing together alumni from the 30s to the 50s, will suggest the future dedication of a plaque honoring Grace Lowry, the first house mother. Mrs. Lowry gave much of herself to early residents and visitors from 1936 to 1943. Paul Feys, director of International Student House, will talk about plans for renovation and expansion of the existing facilities and for the 1986 anniversary celebration. Truman J. Keesey, former public information officer for the Government of the District of Columbia, is managing public relations for the event. Keesey now resides in Washington, Va. have CPR,” Burke said. “We all help the EMTs and do a lot more than just driving.” With membership low and no ladies’ auxiliary, all of the members do many different jobs at the squad. The members do all of that extra work and get up at all hours to answer calls because they want to help people. “It’s very rewarding, and I know that’s the typical answer, but it really is a good feeling especially if the call was a real emergency and you come back knowing you’ve helped someone,” Wingfield said. That feeling is what keeps the members going despite all of the problems. “A lot of times it’s hard to drop what you’re doing to go on a call,” Johnson said. “But when you hear that tone, everything else stops.” • Krebser Reappointed At the board of supervisors’ regular meeting on May 6, Dr. Werner Krebser was reappointed to the planning commission. Planning commissioners serve four year terms. • Shrubs Stolen The Rappahannock Garden Club recently purchased and planted evergreen shrubs on the triangle at the intersection of routes 231 and 522 in an effort to beautify Rappahannock’s roads. Over the weekend, however, the shrubs were pulled up and stolen by persons unknown. The triangle is maintained by the Garden Club and not by the government. The club will replace the shrubs with perennial plants in the hopes that they will be allowed to grow and add to the beauty of Rappahannock. • Employment Data The Culpeper Virginia Employment Commission has released its employment figures for March. In Rappahannock, of the 2,606 people in the civilian labor force, 2,481 were employed in March. That places the unemployment figure at 125 people or 4.8 percent. The March figures do not reflect any significant change in the labor force. Initial figures for the number of employed rose slightly due to seasonal increases in construction, trades and agriculture. • Graduation Time Changed In an effort to try to beat the excessive late afternoon heat build-up in the RCHS gym, RCHS Principal Robert Chappell has announced that this year’s graduation will be held in the morning instead. The graduation ceremonies will be held in the RCHS gym at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 8. The Baccalaureate Service will be held in the RCHS gym on Sunday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. • Community Concerts There will be a van available to transport any person wishing to attend events during the 1985-86 Community Concerts season for a fee of $3 per person. The van will pick up riders anywhere in the county. People interested in riding the van should call Dee Brents at 9878646 or Frances Lyne at 987-8588.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation <_/ Thursday, May 9,1985 Help Is Needed The confusion that ensued when the supervisors sat down at their meeting May 6 to discuss the proposed school budget underscored the need for a county administrator. Rather than give serious consideration to the educational needs of the county, the supervisors labored through most of the meeting just trying to figure out what the proposed budget meant. A county administrator, or an informed professional of some sort, should have been there to assist them. For over an hour, the board waded through figures in the budget, cutting numbers and percentages in a seemingly haphazard mariner. The supervisors left the impression that they really didn’t understand the budget well enough to pass judgment on it. Yet pass judgment they did. After disavowing all they had said and done in the previous hour, the supervisors ordered the school board to cut $120,000 from the budget. The figure $120,000 appears neat and clean, leaving the impres sion that careful thought went into its calculation. In truth, the board arrived at that figure in an arbitrary manner after Chairman Hubert Gilkey III urged the supervisors to close discussion on the budget because “we’re not getting anywhere.” Mr. Gilkey was right: the supervisors were not getting anywhere, primarily because they were overwhelmed by details in the budget of which they had little knowledge. The discussion was further clouded after the supervisors’ informal calculations showed an increase in the budget even though the $120,000 cut had been figured in. To our knowledge, the inconsistency has yet to be explained. The state of confusion during the entire discussion of the school budget argues strongly for the hiring of a county administrator. A top-notch professional person should work fulltime to ensure that the supervisors are well-briefed on issues so important as education in the county.

LYNNE BAINES Washington Rappahannock Heritage ~ Letters To The Editor Pet Mourned To the editor: This story is written for any person who realizes just how special a pet can be! Recently, I lost my dog to a gun triggered by a person seeking revenge for the loss of fowl. In no way do I justify the dog’s actions, but I should add this is a steep penalty for a first offense. How does killing an animal compensate for an animal killed? You know if we just had faith in our fellow man and weren’t so hasty to take unnecessary actions a lot of grief would be spared. Yes, I would have paid you for the fowl. I’m sorry for my pet, that you were so quick tempered to settle this matter without thinking of others. Lane Responds To the editor: Irrelevant! Irresponsible! That was the accusation that Benjamin Lee Bird fired at me at the public hearing on the proposed Rappahannock County Public School budget last Monday the 29th. Fifteen or 20 persons spoke unanimously in favor of the budget, and one spoke who supports salary increases but bravely questioned the amount of administration costs. After all had spoken, and some spoken again, I perpetrated my usual and intentional mistake of saying something... 1. In the five years I have been directly responsible for our schools, I have heard one concern that rings out above all the rest, with overtones of disaster. Teacher salaries! I would like to go on record, again, supporting increased salaries. 2. I think there are two general avenues to take to actually attain these competitive salaries today. Through radical taxation, or through reduction of costs and redirecting those funds to a higher priority. 3. Our schools are prepared today to serve the 1,265 students we had in our schools seven years ago, yet we have only 1,041 students this year and project a drop to 1,020 next year. This represents a drop of nearly 24 percent of the kids in school today. At next year’s projected state S.O.Q., this represents $466,000 in revenue losses that we have to make up for here at home. These are actual losses since we are not pulling the throttle back even five to 10 percent to correspond to the nearly 24 percent decrease in demand for that throttle setting. That’s kinda like driving in Rappahannock and holding the gas pedal down even after you have climbed the hill and started down the other side. 4. wnue on tne school board 1 saw salary increases of 12, 14 and 16.4 percent appropriated, with the responding echo in the tax rates. I saw also that these generous increases were a drop in the bucket, and had little change in the morale or our standing in the V.E.A. published rankings of salaries. 5. I do not suggest that we jeopardize our pupil/teacher ratios as these are important to me. Almost a decade ago we had 22.2 students for each teacher. I point out in fairness that these are total numbers, not classroom. It does however reflect a 40 percent decrease over today’s productivity. 6. I am very uncomfortable with the idea that taixes can go up 15 percent a year, or even 56 percent in the last two years as we have here in Rappahannock, and we will never accomplish our goal or offering competitive salaries at our schools! If we don’t reduce costs I’m afraid competitive will be the tax rate with out neighboring areas. 7. That as all of the above occurred, we have received continually more funding with decreasing enrollments from the Federal, State and County sources. 8. I feel all of the above to be fact, and points to a possibility that our total school overhead, (machine) teachers, If I should gain anything for the loss of my dog I would hope it would be to save someone else’., pet. Work with your fellow man, I’m sure he realizes the cost of your losses. One realizes at this day and time no one can afford to suffer a loss. But, before you act, weigh the losses. Even if you have no feeling for the animal, think of the grief of the family who owns and loves the pet will suffer. So many animals are struck by cars, put to sleep and just plain mistreated. Treat your pets well and watch over them. Flint Hill LINDA DENNIS administrators, and administration buildings, and other assets, creates a situation of inflationary impact , whete more dollars find less productive satisfaction. I then read a column from Pat Buchanan last year that in short, condemns the National Education Association, and illustrates clearly that some of the biggest educational spenders are doing the poorest job of teaching. Washington, D.C. for instance. Highest drop-out rate and lowest SAT scores in the country, and the biggest spenders excepting one! Of course I knew this would go over like a 300 pound boulder to a drowning man at this meeting where supporters of the budget and increased taxation would be present in force, but somehow I feel compelled, if not responsible to research and bring out these numbers and real situations present as they evolve. Supervisor Baldwin was the only member of the board who challenged the accusation of irrelevant and irresponsible, by taking interest in the numbers. I am surprised that only two persons out of around 90 thought that a 24 percent decrease in productivity of our taxed dollar was relevant. We need to at least consider learning now to do better with less. The suggestion of which is not irrelevant and irresponsible. It is just the opposite as it can be. It is my sworn duty. I think it is interesting that at this hearing, testimonies related to teachers, their hard work and commitment to their best, their marginal pay status when compared to other college degreed professionals and the private sector, their gratitude for the $1.5 million dollar commitment the residents have or are about to make at the high school, their love for Rappahannock County with its unique quality of life, presently, and finally, that they want to stay with us IF we can increase their salaries to a more professional level. With all of this I agree 100 percent. As a matter of fact, I agree so wholeheartedly that I threw that drowning fella that 300 pound boulder. I made the most realistic suggestion I can see happening justifiably, today. You all treated me like an ass the other night, now I want to know what the folks at home think.... Many moons ago as a school board member, I called Mr. Estabrook back on the phone, again, a month or so after he had turned us down, and rekindled his interest in our position for a superintendent. I did this because I felt he stood out above the other candidates. Now, with expectations of an answer, I’m going to test his metal and ask him in this open media, how can we do better with less? NELSON LANE Supervisor, Rappahannock County Woodville From Both BarrelsA Good Move By Davis By GEORGE BOWLES The startling compromise reached by the warring factions within the Democratic Party a fortnight ago did far more than effectively install Attorney General Gerald Baliles as the part y’s candidate for governor. It set the stage for a renewed struggle between the issueoriented national Democrats in the state and those who. in the interest of what they perceive as political pragmatism, would like to see the party tilt to the right. The former group is led by Lt. Gov. Dick Davis, the loser in the race for the party’s gubernatorial nomination, and the latter by Gov. Chuck Robb, Baliles and the governor’s inner circle of advisers both in and out of the Commonwealth. The compromise, which stunned the state’s political observers, contained several facets which were initially puzzling. Indeed, they can still be explained only bx applying a healthy dollop of conjecture and guesswork. Their main point, of course, was that Davis would withdraw from the race and accept the chairmanship of the Democratic State Central Committee, a post he held from early 1979 until late 1980. Retiring Del. Richard Bagley of Hampton, who had wanted to become the chairman, agreed to accept the lesser position of vice chairman for operations. The acceptance of the package by the Davis camp and Bagley clears the way for Baliles to receive the nomination for governor, probably by acclamation, when the Democrats hold their state convention in the Richmond Coliseum on June 7-8. The arrangements were worked out by Robb, his Chief of Staff David McCloud, representatives of the two candidates and incumbent state party Chairman Alan Diamonstein. i^avis agreed to pun out alter at least two considerations became apparent. He believed he could have won the nomination by challenging a sufficient number of the Baliles delegates to the convention, but he is convinced the party would have become so divided that the nomination would have been worthless. In addition, he foresaw trouble raising the amount of money which would have been necessary to win. That amount was put by some of his advisers at $3 million to $4 million, or perhaps more. Thus Davis agreed to bail out. His price for doing so was the chairmanship of the state party, a condition which apparently gave the negotiators no real trouble. Bagley agreed to go along, and the deal was set. But several cosmic questions remained. Who on Earth would Davis, who apparently has no further political ambitions, want the chairmanship of the party? Even more remarkably, Bagley had given up his seat in the House of Delegates and the chairmanship of the House Appropriations Committee, one of the most powerful posts in state government, to seek the party chairmanship. He readily acknowledged that this was a part of his game plan to win the gubernatorial nomination in 19bH. Why did he so willingly abandon that phase of his plan? Both men had answers which were plausible. Davis said the agreement would permit him to become more active in national Democratic Party affairs, which he said he would enjoy doing. At the hame time it would permit Baglev to travel the state and do his organizational work without being encumbered by the nuts-andbolts duties which come with being chairman of the central committee. In the short term, the Davis chairmanship will clearly have a healing effect on this year’s gubernatorial race. As party head, he will be the point man in the Baliles gubernatorial campaign, and he will be in a position to rally the support of his constituent groups to the Democratic effort. As for Bagley, he recognizes that his own base requires widening. That base, like Baliles’, is anchored to the party’s center and right. By working with Davis he will be in a position to reach the broader constituencies which consider Davis their leader. These include labor, many blacks, party liberals, teachers and others. Indeed, a major loser in the , negotiations process may have been Diamonstein. Had Bagley been elected chairman, Diamonstein was reportedly slated to have become a vice chairman with top liaison responsibilities for dealing with party matters at the national level. That duty will now be assumed by Davis. But are there other considerations involved in the Davis compromise? There could be, although here we get into some vastly sticky areas of conjecture and speculation. Davis, as we said, is very interested in having a role in national Democratic Party affairs. He feels a keen responsibility to see that the basic tenets of the party are adhered to and that its concern for its constituency groups remains undiluted. While he, too, is a political realist, he is concerned that efforts at pragmatism, both in Virginia and nationally, may move the party too far to the right in search of votes. Another Virginia politician, of course, is busily working at the national party level and is doing precisely the things that Davis wants to keep an eye on. I hat is Gov. Chuck Robb, one of the founders of the newly formed Democratic Leadership Council. I he council is an association of Democratic governors and others who are looking for ways to bring the party closer to what they contend is the mainstream <>f American political thought. In other words, to move it to the right. It thus follows that one of the major reasons Davis wants the party chairmanship, and has chosen his particular role as chairman, is to give Virginia another voice counterbalancing the conservative thrust of Robb and his group in the national party councils. It would make sense. Davis would thus be able to use his influence at the national level to protect what he sees as the basic mission of the Democratic Party. At the same time, by actively associating himself with the Babies campaign, he would be making a major contribution to his party in Virginia by helping the Democrats hold on to the Governor’s Mansion. For Davis, who, as we said, knows a thing or two about political pragmatism himself, it’s about the best deal he could have gotten for himself and his party.

Goings On In The A rts 6An Evening Of Modern Dance’ By LAURIE MARSHALL ram: On Sunday, May 19 at 7 p.m. in the Gay St. Theater of Washington, Va., five modem dance pieces will be performed. They include a duet by Laura Crowne entitled “The Ground Between Us,” performed by Crowne and Sally Nash: “Expected Arrivals” and ‘Taking Away,” choreographed by Maureen Day, a Rappahannock County resident who is in the dance department at VCU; and two other works by VCU dance majors-“Caged Marbles” and “Intentions of Spring.” The evening will provide a diversity of movement and imagination. The first half will be a series of short pieces. “Expected Arrivals” is a dance for five and a live saxophone player who also uses found objects to make sounds. There is a sense of on-going activity, repetition, a series of comings and goings with both minimal and rhythmic movement. {sjfficalcFatxtfi «*«*•"” Eileen M. Day maito* EFFICIENT FIREPLACE USE A fireplace is a valuable asset when it comes to selling a home. However, in recent years, it has been taking it on the chin as a great heat waster. When used improperly, the Fireplace deserves all its bad press. In normal use, the fireplace draws out about 20% per hour of expensively heated air in the room in which it’s located. However, the fireplace can be made more efficient. You can buy a hollow tube grate which bends around the logs and recirculates the heated air back into the room. Some grates are equipped with electric blowers. It is claimed that these beauties return heated air 5 to 1 for any heated air lost. A second alternative is to install an energy-efficient door on the fireplace. The glass door prevents heat loss, radiates heat back into the room and allows you to enjoy watching the fire. Be sure that the damper is closed when the fireplace is not in use and only bum seasoned hard woods. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA. 22747. Phone: 6753400. We’re here to help. “Taking Away” is a short trio based on the gestures people use in day-to-day conversation. “Caged Marbles,” choreographed by Suzanne May, has a magical, stream of consciousness form, making use of contact and weight dependency between the dancers. “Intentions of Spring,” choreographed by Mitch Mercurio and Laura Schandelmeir, is an evocative, romantic dialogue between two dancers, set in the out-of-doors. Both Maureen Day and Mitch Mercurio are former dancers with Rappahannock County’s Last Minute Wood Company, directed by Sally Nash, who is performing in the second half of the evening. The second half is comprised of a 30-minute work by Laura Crowne, director of the Moving Arts Center in Warrenton. “The Ground Between Us” makes use of three TVs, live speaking, taped music, taped speaking and live dance. Its theme - a duet with Crowne and Nash - is built around the fact that both Crowne and Nash live in the same vicinity, are choreographers, teachers, administrators of a dance company, performers and have a shared mission as dancers/artists. The work explores how these two distinct individuals are different and the same, transcending the stricture of role and competition. “The Evening of Modern Dance” is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), a non-profit, volunteer organization. Admission is $6 (adults), $3 (students/seniors) and $4 (RAAC members). Tickets are available at the door. Call 675-3193 for information. Annual Spring Concert Draws Admiring Crowd It happens every spring. At Rappahannock County High School’s annual concert, there’s always a first timer or two unprepared for the quality of the vocal performances. This year was no different. A father waiting last Tuesday night to pick up his son from baseball practice stood in the auditorium doorway and marveled, “They’re really, really good! I just love this music!” as the mixed chorus sang a medley of Simon and Garfunkel times. Regulars at choral concerts just nod and smile. They’ve grown accustomed to the magic that choral director Judy Bomberger works. Kids who can’t carry a tune before they join her class learn to rumble the bass line of Handel’s Messiah —a cappella. Kids whose only musical training has come from listening to rock ’n’ roll on the car radio master four part harmonies. Worthy of special mention at this year’s spring concert were the ladies’ chorus’s rendition of “I’m Gonna Shine,” a light, sprightly number, and the mixed chorus’s version of “Like an Eagle,” a soaring melody in which male and female voices blended beautifully. But the highlight, judging from the audience’s applause, came with the Simon and Garfunkle collection and a rollicking medley from the popular Broadway musical, “Cats,” that featured solos by Wendy Coffey, Tara Fisher, Jim McCullough, Julie Burke, James Jenkins, Jimmie Freeman, Donna Williams and Tony Clark. Before the concert and during intermission, the spotlight moved to the rear of the auditorium and an exhibit created by Don Bomberger’s students. From abstract to representational, from pencil to oils, the work spanned the artistic spectrum. Appropriate to the times, with public attention focused on the Middle East and the anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, were an ink drawing of an American G. I. calling home by Tim Caliandro and Robert Ludwig’s desert arab wrapped in a burnoose. Jon McCullough’s water colors— horses galloping across the shadows and reflections of a mirror-like pond and a cityscape of the urban skyline at night - drew an admiring crowd. Other outstanding works included Gina Manwaring’s delicate watercolor of a tropical parrot, Louis Moore’s bright and bold acrylic study of cubism, “Objects in Space,” John Raney’s pencil and ink “Mistake” abstract, Roni Selen’s oil painting of a walleyed pike lurking in murky fronds that seemed to sway with the currents, Ludwig’s watercolors of a white heron and sillouettes in a cart, and Caliandro’s ink drawing of an Arab. Middle Street Gallery This Sunday at Washington’s Middle St. Gallery, Dan Lewis will open a show of surrealistic photography from the camera of Dottie Andrake. Andrake uses intricate patterns of line, color, and texture to challenge, tease and confound the eye. After the opening reception, set for Sunday, May 12, from 2 to 5 p.m., Andrake’s work will be displayed through June 9.

REESE AUCTION COMPANY CULPEPER VIRGINIA 22701 PHONE 828-2000 Registration 000031 tography that will go on display this Sunday at the Middle St. Gallery in - Washington, Virginia. Andrake spent three years in Morocco. A Peace Corps volunteer, her enlistment was prompted by the need to “experience” another culture as something other than a tourist. “The ■ best way to do it is to work there,” she i explained. She mastered Arabic and - bought a good camera. The first al- lowed her to communicate with and understand the Moroccan people. The second gave her the means to capture and preserve her experiences. When she returned to Washington, D.C., and a staff job at Peace Corps headquarters, she brought with her boxes and albums of pictures and an interest in photography. It took just two courses at the Corcoran School of Art and an enthusiastic reception for her work to develop an avocation into a vocation. She had submitted a portfolio in seeking acceptance to a Corcoran summer workshop in Maine. A collection of oversized black and white self-portraits that emphasized texture and line, the photographs caught the attention of an instructor and jurist. “He wanted to see other reactions so he stuck my portfolio in with the regular applications to the Corcoran School of Art. I was accepted unanimously by the admissions committee! “I told myself, ‘You’re 30 years old. If you’re going to do this, you’ve got to be serious.’ So I quit my safe, secure—and relatively well-paying—government job and went into the Corcoran’s fine arts photography program full time.” She finished in 1980, capping her studies with an individual exhibition, and has since taken free-lance photography jobs and government consultant stints to pay the bills while she practiced her art. But Andrake realized last year that art was getting the short tick on the clock so she took a 12 month sabbatical to concentrate solelv on rampra work. After a year of total attention, her photography will be featured in Andrake’s first solo show which opens this Sunday at Middle St. Gallery. The photographs that will hang at Middle St. for the next month are not a travelogue of Morocco or a collection of snapshots. Andrake challenges the perceptions with her work. We think we’re looking at a towering sand dune, a giant of the desert photographed in the Middle East or Ansel Adams’s American South West. But with a closer look we see individual grains of sand. It’s not a distant shot of tall dunes but a close up of a ripple in the beach at Assateaque. In addition to playing perceptual tricks, she teases with textures. We reach out to touch a close-up of an algae covered pond, expecting to feel the nubs and bumps of an oil splattered heavily with paint. She fills the camera’s eye with a foreground of a pine grove, cutting short the towering trees to emphasize the prickly blanket of dead brown needles. While her large (20’X24’) cibachrome prints emphasize texture and perceptual concepts, her small Polaroid still lifes bring to mind Oriental art melded with the seemingly irrational subject matter of a Salvadore Dali. It’s not necessarily the objects or the meaning of her Polaroid work that imparts an Eastern flavor but rather its simplistic lines and form. The dark blue satin folds of one series gives a three dimensional quality to the figures-a horse, a hand and a palm leaf-in the foreground. The three sets of miniatures (the other series of lily pads and dogwood blossoms) are displayed in a gnd. “It’s important how the pictures interact with each other,” Andrake explained. “The small, square format (of the Polaroids) is much more effective for these multiple images,” she added. A Washington, D.C. resident, Andrake is still surprised that her first solo show is in Washington, Virginia. Like many urbanites she stumbled by chance upon Rappahannock and its historical county seat. A friend bought a cabin here from local realtor Roger Batchelder. When Andrake accompanied her friend to the country for the settlement, Batchelder directed the aspiring artist to the town’s gallery. Proprietor Dan Lewis saw her work, liked what he saw and scheduled an exhibition. Since that meeting, Andrake has been spending more and more time in the county. Does she plan to follow the path of other artists and craftspeople and settle here? “I’d love to — someday- if I can afford it! It’s so beautiful, so spiritual.” She noted that her Polaroid series of dogwood blossoms were photographed at night at her friend’s cabin. “That’s my ode to Rappahannock County.” Dottie Andrake's exhibit will hang at Middle St. Gallery through June 9 with the opening reception set for this Sunday, May 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. Middle St. Gallery (telephone 675-3U0) is open Friday through Sunday, noon until 9 p.m. and Monday through Thursday, noon until 5 p.m. Wakefield News By HULKIN KLJlSi Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Tennis Team Wins The Wakefield School Girls’ Tennis Team traveled to Warren County High School last week to play the Wildcats.

Prince Saran Strikes Back By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer Prince Saran may well be on his way to a third Timber Horse of the Year title after his spectacular 12length victory in Saturday’s Virginia Gold Cup at Great Meadow near The Plains. The 11-year-old Prince Saim gelding’s phenomenal Gold Cup victory is his third steeplechase win in a row this year and may well cement his defense of the prestigious Timber Horse title he won last year and in 1982. An enormous crowd, estimated by State Police at 32,000, packed the hillsides and rails to watch Prince Saran win Great Meadow’s first Gold Cup. It was the horse’s second Gold Cup win, his first was in 1982, and made up for a narrow defeat in last year’s final Gold Cup at Broadview Farm in Warrantor in which he was just edged out at the finish line by Dr. Joseph M. Rogers’ fast-closing Constantine. “After last year’s Gold Cup I was presented with a rear-view mirror for my helmet,” Paul Sloan, Prince Saran’s jockey, joked after the race. “This time I thought the one thing I was never going to do was pull up until after the finish. “It’s good to be able to win this year, because maybe I won’t have to eat so much crow now.” Mr. Sloan, a 40-year-old native of Nashville, Tenn., was ready to eat almost anything after his winning ride. The previous week he had gone on a severe diet to get his weight down from 175 to 1561/2 pounds for the classic fourmile timber race. “The diet has taken a lot of energy out of me,” Mr. Sloan confessed. “But it didn’t affect me until after I pulled up when the adrenalin stopped.” The adrenalin was pumping strongly in 11 horses and jockeys when the field went to the post for the 60th running of the Gold Cup. English-bred Frog Prince, with Don Yovanovich in the saddle, led the field safely over the first of 23 very solid timber fences. One horse, however, did not even make it to the first fence. Jockey Gary Rose decided not to start on Paul B. Cramer Jr.’s Cookin ’N Lookin and the pair never jumped a fence in the race. Meanwhile Frog Prince continued to lead the field, jumping well and extending his lead to as much as eight lengths as the field cleared the eighth and ninth fences passing the steward’s stand for the first time. On the backside of the course the second loop around the race had its first casualty when Tigre’s Houdini and jockey Jay Meister went down. At the next fence Linberg and his jockey Mark Stickley fell. Rounding the corner and coming past the steward’s stand the secondtime, Frog Prince lost his lead as Prince Saran started his winning run and Private Gary, the 1983 Gold Cup winner, moved up to challenge. Frog Prince’s chances of a comeback were dashed at the 18th r fence, just before the water jump, when he crashed upon landing. The crash seemed to be contagious as Tobiano, following closely behind, also stumbled upon landing, catapulting his jockey, Clydetta Poe, out of the saddle. Carried on by his momentum and the excitement of the race, Tobiano galloped on to the next fence but then stopped suddenly when he saw the water on the other side. Unfortunately Carlo Friend and Baron Zantippy, following closely behind, could not stop and jumped the fence awkwardly, landing on their knees on the other side. Carlo Friend pitched forward onto his head and rolled, losing jockey James Lawrence from the saddle. Baron Zantippy managed to regain his feet, however, and with jockey Peter Holloway set Off in vain pursuit of the rest of the field. At the front Prince Saran was stretching his lead on the smooth and lightning fast course, pulling away from Private Gary and Freeman’s Hill overevery fence. As he cleared the final two fences Mr. Sloan carefully looked behind him to make sure no one was trying to sneak up on him as Constantine had done last year. The coast was clear, however, and the pair sailed over the finish line a good 12 lengths ahead of their rivals. Prince Saran’s time for the four-mile route was 8:29 minutes, the fastest time since John Warner's Annual Meeting won the Gold Cup at Broadview Farm in 1971. Charlie Fenwick, riding in place of injured “Speedy”. Smithwick, guided Private Gary under the wire for the second place followed five lengths back by William Meister on Freeman’s Hill. It was a perfect race for Tennesseean John R. Neal’s Prince Saran. “The only problem I had was to keep him rated,” a happy but exhausted Mr. Sloan said after the race. “He just jumped his way to the front. He loves the course, loves the fences and loves the crowd. He knew this was his day.” Prince Saran and Mr. Sloan have shared a long and fruitful partnershiptogether in the five years Mr. Neal has owned the dark bay or brown gelding. “More than any other horse I’ve ridden, he’s a true professional,” Mr. Sloan said of his equine racing partner. “He is truly one of the greats. He’s proven himself. “His qualities are intelligence, stamina, strength.. “Arrogance,” inserted Mr. Sloan’s new bride, Lin. “Yes, arrogance,” added Mr. Sloan. “And confidence.” “His intelligence keeps him out of so much trouble. A stronger, less intelligent horse would not pick his fences to stay out of trouble the way this horse does. He jumped every fence beautifully.” For the first time at a Gold Cup meet, two timber races were contested during the day. Novice timber horses went to the post for the first timber race, third on the seven-race card. It proved to be another casualtyfilled race. Ogam was the first down, flipping over at the first fence and landing on his jockey, Joy Carrier, who had to be taken to Fauquier Hospital with a concussion and facial injuries as a result. Maxi Max fell at the next fence, losing jockey W. B. Dixon Stroud Jr. At the front Patti Cassel led on her Bush Ruler but only for another three fences before falling herself. Ms. Cassel was somewhat shaken from the fall and injured her knee, preventing her from riding in the Gold Cup where she had been scheduled to ride Mr. Cramer’s Cookin ’N Lookin. Traffic Boom and his jockey, David Benson, also fell at the fifth fence, leaving seven in the field. Charlie Fenwick took the lead on Arthur W. Arundel’s Sugar Bee and was able to hold off a lengthy and determined challenge by Mark Stickley on Ahira’s Tale to win the 3'/i-mile race. It was a great win for Mr. Arundel, chairman of the Gold Cup Race Committee and the first timber win for Sugar Bee, previously a hurdle horse which Mr. Arundel bought earlier this year. “I feel marvellous,” Mr. Arundel said when the race was announced as official. “I think we have a timber horse here. We’re very optimistic for him.” Besides the two timber races, four brush races, a flat race and twro pony races were also run at Great Meadow. New Zealand-bred Young Rodney, owned by George Straw-bridge’s Unionville, Pa.-based Augustin Stable, won the day’s $8,000 feature brush race, the race before the Gold Cup. Paul Cramer’s Threatening Arch set the early pace with Gary Rose aboard. But the 4-year-old chestnut gelding was giving his jockey a hard time at the front and when the saddle slipped Mr. Rose was forced to pull up. This opened up the lead for Bruce Wagner and Young Rodney who then had to fend off challenges from Jonathan Sheppard’s Kingussie, Hal Clagett’s Restless Amber and Mrs. Henry A. Gerry’s Huallatiri. The latter horse, a Chilean-bred, fought all the way up the long stretch with Young Rodney and it was all Bruce Wagner could do to keep the 8-year-old Belmura gelding in front to win by a short neck. After his win Mr. Wagner had nothing but good words for the Great Meadow course. “It’s excellent. It’s the best course I’ve ridden on all year,” he said. “It compares to the New York tracks. It’s smooth and even. It’s like a golf course — very springy.” Tragedy marred the second race of the day, a novice brush contest, when Dorothy Poe’s Bar Jacket broke its leg and had to be destroyed. The race was the first test for a unique hurdle water jump at Great (Continued on Page 13) ! “Speedy’ — Douglas Lees for the Fauquier Democrat ’ Smithwick broke his wrist in this crash and his mount, Bar Jacket broke its leg 1 rack 1 earns Finish Keguiar Season ivapjjdn<uiiiuLn mgn s iracK teams finished their seasons on May 1.

Susan Carney Displays Unique Gifts At ‘Twice Remembered’ Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley SUSAN CARNEY AND her sister-in-law, Vinnie, worked long hours to ready the store for opening day. By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Anyone with trunks of old family “junk” packed away in the attic or basement should let Susan Carney have a look in those trunks. She will probably revise your thinking on “junk.” She has been doing it for years, and it has in turn amused and exasperated her husband, Champ. Susan is a practiced and determined flea market and thrift shop searcher. “Susan can’t go by markets without stopping, looking and buying,” said Vinnie Carney, Susan’s sister-in-law. “She has a good eye, though, and she can see beautiful and unique things in a flea market or thrift shop when all I can see is junk.” It all began innocently enough when Susan began picking things up for her mother to sell at the Sperryville Antique Market. “My things started overlapping hers, so I had to set up my own booth,” Susan said. Soon the booth was not enough, and as her house started filling up with her finds, she decided to open her own shop. That is the story behind Susan’s opening of “Twice Remembered Antique Clothing, Jewelry and Collectibles” on Saturday, May 4. The shop is located on Main Sunday Isaiah 63.15 64.12 Monday Jeremiah 33 1 26 Test at 12=20 The corridor outside Mr. Roberts classroom isn’t the quietest and most comfortable place to study. Nor are last minute measures guaranteed to get you through. Still, with good lecture notes and serious ' cramming" the night before, an eleventh hour review can t hurt. Most tests in life are like those we faced in school. You have to keep pace with your opportunities and responsibilities to be ready when the crisis occurs. Never gamble your future on some desperate last-ditch effort. Religious training — the development of Christian character — is the key to passing life's crucial tests. The faith we cultivate today will be our essential resource in tomorrow s critical hour. Choose earnestly the Church in which you and your family will grow spiritually. Foster that growth with regular worship and continuing Christian education. Scriptures selected by the American Bible Society Copyright 1984 Keister Williams Newspaper Services, P 0 Box 8005.

She began wearing the clothes she found herself and that gave her the idea that other people would probably want antique clothing, too. “The old clothing was really made to flatter women’s bodies,” Susan said. “The fabrics are beautiful and pure, and everything was hand-made with wonderful workmanship.” The purity of the fabrics causes some problems, though, since the fabrics are affected by time and air. “My projection is to someday reproduce the styles of clothes using modern fabrics with the old buttons and lace,” Susan said. “Then someone could pick the style they’d like, and I could make it to fit them.” Susan uses an 1870s blouse in her exhibit window that illustrates the craftsmanship that went into the clothing. Susan researches every piece of clothing that she buys to place it in time. One piece that she has not been able to find anything on is a cap she calls the Whistler’s mother’s cap. “I just called it that because I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I think that it is from the 1820s,” Susan said. Most of the clothing hangs in the downstairs portion of the shop where Susan is also sorting out her many jewelry pieces. Some of the jewelry is arranged in a display case, also an antique, upstairs. The other pieces are spilling out of boxes and cases in a testament to Susan’s searching abilities. “I have lots of rhinestone jewelry with some semi-precious and some antiques, but most of it is costume jewelry,” Susan said. Besides the clothing and jewelry, the shop has various old and new collectible items, toys and antique furniture. “I put my own ideas into the things I have, especially the clothing,” Susan said. Susan said that she is optimistic about the shop and the shop will be open Wednesdays through Angus Breeders Recognized Robert P. Anderson of Woodville and D. Brrok Miller of Washington each have been recognized nationally by the American Angus Association for having registered Angus cows included in the American Angus Association’s 1985 Pathfinder Report. Only 908 of the more than 24,000 members of the American Angus Association are represented in this year’s Report, according to Richard Spader, executive vice president of the American Angus Association with headquarters in St. Joseph, Missouri. The Pathfinder Program identifies superior Angus cows based upon recorded production traits that are economically important to the commercial cow-calf producer. These traits include regular calving and heavy weaning weights, reports John Crouch, director of performance programs for the American Angus Association. All registered Angus cows that meet the strict Pathfinder standards are listed, along with their owners, in the Pathfinder Report which is published annually by the American Angus Association. The 1985 Report lists 3,478 individual cows. It will be published in the May issue of the Angus Journal and extra copies are available from the American Angus Association. The largest number of Pathfinder cows from a single herd this year is 68, and several hundred breeders have a single cow that qualifies for the exclusive listing. William James Elected William A. James of Viewtown has been elected to membership in the American Angus Association. The American Angus Association, with over 30,000 active adult and junior members, is the largest beef cattle registry association in the world. Its computerized records include detailed information on nearly 11 million registered Angus. The Association records ancestral information and keeps records of production on individual animals for its members. These permanent records help members select and mate the best animals in their herds to produce high quality, efficient breeding cattle which are then recorded with the American Angus Association. Most of these registered Angus are used by the U.S. farmers and ranchers who raise high quality beef for U.S. consumption.

Saturdays at 10 a.m. and on Sundays at 12 p.m. Susan may not always be there, however, since she has a four-year-old son, and she wants to continue her searches. “The real art of it is finding the things in attics and garages ana then picking out what you think will sell from the junk,” Susan said. “1 want to keep going to sales, and I hope that I have to continue going to keep my inventory up.” EVERY!

$120,000 Cut (Continued from Page 1) negotiate it,” he said. During the meeting, Supervisor Lane, echoing his statement at the public hearing April 29, called upon School Superintendent Robert Estabrook to determine how the school system can do better with less money. Lane said it would be irresponsible not to ask that of Estabrook. Estabrook responded as he did at the public hearing. “There is no room to cut....I would be irresponsible if I proposed further cuts.” In a phone interview after the meeting, Estabrook said only that he was disappointed by the supervisors’ decision. Bomberger also was disappointed. Referring to the $120,000 cut, he said “There is no way I can see that the school board can supply teachers with a salary that is responsible with respect to surrounding counties. I'm very disappointed,” he said. In response to Lane’s insistance that “more be done with less,” Bomberger replied that that had already been tried - unsuccessfully. In defense, Lane reiterated his point, first heard at the April 29 public hearing, that if teachers’ salaries are to be raised, then the budget will have to shrink elsewhere to pay for the increase. Said Lane: “We can’t raise salaries just by raising taxes.” Lane likened the school system to a private business, arguing that expansion in one area must come at the expense of shrunken overhead in another area. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie, in response to Lane’s statements, claimed it was unfair to compare the school system to a private business. There is an important difference, she said, in that the school system is burdened by federal and state mandates. The denunciation of “burdensome” state and federally mandated programs became the one point of agreement among the administrators and supervi • Paint • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 sors at the meeting. Massie argued that an undue emphasis on special education and gifted and talented programs was hurting the average student. Also, Massie lamented the fact that localities were losing more control over their school sytems “each day.” Estabrook agreed. He noted as a problem the increasing tendency of the state' and federal governments to mandate not only programs but also the formation of those programs. “Initiatives left to the localities are diminishing,” Estabrook said. In agreement with both Massie and Estabrook, Lane asked that a joint resolution between the supervisors and the school board be drafted and sent to the state appropriations committee in Richmond. The resolution would state that excessive mandates are an unfair intrusion into local government. “If they mandate it, they should pay for it,” Lane argued. “The state and federal governments are out of line.” No action was taken on the resolution. The supervisors agreed to hold a work session on the school budget sometime after their next regular meeting June 3. Other requests for funds from the general budget were made by: • Sylvia Kreitler, Director of Rappahannock’s Social Services Department in the amount of $68,025. That’s a nine percent increase over last year’s budget. • Paul Poling, representative from the Fire and Rescue Association, in the amount of $19,065. Poling said the proposed budget is down from last year because of grant money received. • Colonel Luke, representative for the library, in the amount of $6,000, which is the same as last year’s request. Luke said the library will spend $6,000 on books in addition to putting in another exit and a restroom. • Birgitt Thornhill, extension agent, in the amount of $17,322, which represents a 6 percent salary increase. Solid Waste Delbert Price, representative from the solid waste committee, reported that the contract for usage of the present landfill site expires June 30, 1985. Price passed along the committee’s recommendation that the county pick up the first of two option years on the contract. Also, Price reported that Robert H. Forman, an official from the state department of health, judged the county’s landfill operation to be “substandard.” Forman estimated the life expectancy of the landfill to be anywhere from 6 months to a year. Price said the committee is looking into all waste disposal options for the county. He told the supervisors they should be prepared to spend a significant amount of money regardless of the system chosen. The solid waste committee will hold its next meeting Thursday, May 16 at 9 a.m. in the courthouse. Forman will attend. Courthouse Renovation The board decided to defer implementation of handicapped facilities in the courthouse for at least a year. The move was intended to buy time while determining if the building’s historic status exempts it from the mandate requiring handicapped facilities. The board approved the implementation of air conditioning, carpeting and other renovations in the courthouse. Sewage System (Continued from Page 1) mean for each Kfome will be published this month in the Rappahannock News. The system should begin operating in eight months, and the subject of hiring the needed personnel for the plant was brought up by authority member Donald Gore. A state certified sewage operator will be needed in six months so that he or she can become familiar with the equipment at the plant. Gore said that besides finding, and perhaps training, the sewage operator, the authority will have to determine if other personnel will be needed.

K, » iiiSPBRyi'«frr€W MOLLAISP™ New Holland — Culpeper 790 Jamas Madison Highway 825-0188 MAY 31st DEADLINE sewage operator would work two to three hours a day, said Gerhart. “I think that the authority has to get with the program, and the program is number one to develop some kind of personnel policy and some qualifications for what you’re looking for,” Gerhart said. The possibility of combining some of the duties and coordinating efforts on hiring with the board of supervisors was brought up. Authority chairman, Bob Dennis, asked Cilimberg and the members to contact other systems in the area for suggestions on how to handle the financial and personnel management of the plant. Cilimberg said that he would discuss the question with the supervisors, too. “We have been talking about all of this for a good while, and now it’s time to be doing something,” Gore said. The WSA then went into executive session to discuss legal matters. Meeting (Continued from Page 1) textures of buildings before they are built in town, commissioner Byrd Jones said that she would want the review board to have some limitation on the height of buildings to enforce. “I want to insure that we’ll always be able to see the mountains,” Jones said. Wickens assured her that the ordinance includes guidelines for the scale, texture and style of buildings. The commissioners klso decided that they may include a provision on signs in the ordinance. “We want to let people know that this is not something to be afraid of, but that the ordinance will include things that people who care about the town would do anyway,” chairman Reynolds said. “We are just trying to keep a pleasant town. ” The ordinance will be the subject of a public hearing at the commission’s next meeting on Wednesday, May 22 at 8 p.m. Track (Continued from Page 11) and in the 300 hurdles with a time of 57.3, Donna Williams in the shot put with 32’7”, and Katheryn Davis in the long jump with 14’l/2”. Second placers were Heather Blevins in the high jump with 4’4”, Kelly Bristol in the 100 hurdles with a time of 19.9 and in the 300 hurdles with a tying time of 59.0, Katheryn Davis in the 100 with a time of 13.8, and Connie Compton in the shot put with 31’91/2”. Third placers were Wendy Stringfellow in the shot put with 31’7 1/2”, Donna Williams in the discus, Denice Eidson in the 400 with a time of 1:13.2, and Bonnie Grimsley in the 800 with a time of 2:59. "rince Saran (Continued from Page 11) Meadow. Hidden Advantage, the early leader, cleared the water jump without a problem, as did the second horse over, Height Of Passion. But, barely a neck behind Height Of Passion, Bar Jacket lost his footing before the jump and crashed through the steel and plastic fence, sending jockey “Speedy” Smithwick flying to the turf in a fall that broke the rider’s wrist. Bar Jacket’s injuries from the fall proved to be more serious, however, and the 6-year-old chesnut gelding by Second Bar had to be destroyed. Unaware of the accident behind them, the field continued around the 21/2-mile course. Moving his way through the field to third place on his Lumba Wallah, Charlie Fleischmann was biding his time behind Height Of Passion. But when the leader cleared the final fence, Mr. Fleischmann made his move, sending his 6-year-old bay mare ahead of Height of Passion. Side-byside the two thundered up the stretch, spending all their energy reserves in a drive for the finish. It was an exciting finale to a tragic race and proved Mr. Fleischmann’s mare to be the best in the field on this dav. The Gold Cup meet started with a $5,000 maiden hurdle race over 2 miles. The day’s first casualty happened very suddenly as the field jumped the fence in front of the crowd. In the middle of the 14-horse field Chilling went down on the slick surface but luckily neither he nor his jockey Jimmy Day was hurt. Unfortunately the next casualty resulted in injury. George Sloan, brother of the winning Gold Cup jockey, fell from his mount, Mentor, on the backstretch before the final turn and was hit by a following horse. At the front of the field Mark Stickley was working on bringing in Margaret White’s Comchen for the day’s first win. It was a sweet victory for the connections of the horse which included ex-jockey turned trainer, Doug Fout. “We were flying fast as lightning,” Mr. Stickley said after the race. “It was very quick. The turf was perfect, just fantastic.” A novice brush race followed the novice timber race. No one fell in this 2-mile race in which Augustin Stable’s Head Of The House, a stakes winner on the flat, battled up from fourth place to win by five lengths. Falcon’s Glen was second, Jimmy Day aboard, and Riva Tara third, Jeff Teter riding. The win was the first of the season ■ for Irish jockey Tom Finn w ho broke his ankle in March after placing 10th on the leading jockey list for 19S4. Asked if he liked the course, Mr. Finn replied: “Now 1 do. The turf is great. But it’s a little twisty and turny which didn’t really suit my horse because he’s got a long stride.” The final race on the program was a 1 'A-mile turf event which had a field of 14 contesting its $1 ,-000 purse. Ricky Hendriks won the race on Brushwood Stables’ Chilean-bred Retador, swinging out from the rest of the field in the stretch and then cutting back in again just before the finish to post a I'd;-length win. A claim of foul wras called against the winner, but, after much deliberation, was disallowed. Prior to the Gold Cup races two pony races entertained the large crowd. Patrick Worrall of Glyndon, Md ., won the first race on Lil Fritz several lengths ahead of Heather Beargie on Shenanigans and Charles Fenwick 111 on Ali Baba. The second race, for large ponies, was won by Christopher Williams of Middleburg on Strawberry Fizz. It was a close battle, however, as Beth Fenwick on Casper stuck close to the winner all the way up the stretch. Following the pony races eves turned skyward for a colorful and ex citing display of skydiving prior to tinfirst race. For the large crowd at Great Meadow it appeared to be a thrilling and enjoyable day, and an excellent in troduction to the new- home of the Virginia Gold Cup.

ANDY SMITH Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. Have you ever felt a desire to have a close relationship with God, but you wondered if He would welcome you? I can remember a time in my life when I had a great desire to know God, but I didn't see how He could possibly love me because of sin in my life Jesus tells a beautiful parable in Luke, chapter 15. about a man who had two sons One day the younger son decided to take his share of his father s inheritance and leave home. The son traveled to a far country and in verse 16, it says he "wasted his money with riotous living". With all his money gone, he was forced to do hard labor just to survive. After some time the son finally came to himself. Though he had turned his back on his father and wasted the inheritance, he began to make his way back home hoping in his heart that his father would at least take him back as a servant. Maybe you are in this same situation. You want to go home to your heavenly Father, your creator, and yet you are afraid that He might not want you. Because you haven't lived right all these years, you don't think that God will accept you. Let's see how the father in this story responded to his son's homecoming. In verse 20 it reads, "But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. " Not only did the father take his son back, but he was so glad to see him that he made a great feast to celebrate his return. The father in this parable represents God, the heavenly Father. He would not only be glad, but overjoyed to see you give your life to Him. God sent His Son, Jesus, to save us all and give us everlasting life. (John 3:14-18). The purpose of this was to "reconcile the world to Himself", according to II Corinthians 5:19. To reconcile means to restore friendship. In other words, God wants to be friends with you. He doesn't expect us to make our lives right before we come to Him. He wants us to give our lives to Him and allow Him to change us and make us right, through Jesus. God is standing at the door, looking i down the road so to speak, and waiting for | you to come home. Won't you give your heart i to the Lord and receive His loving welcome? \ According to Romans 10:9 & 10, we must be| lieve in the resurrection of Jesus and confess | Him as our Lord. If you will do this right now, j God will change your life. This article is sponsored by \ ROBERT DUNPHY s 9 0 I If % MINISTRIES, INC. Rt. 1.

ROGER BATCHELDER Earthman II Real Estate I Gay St., Washington, Va. 22747_ 675-3777 Res: 937-4388 AN OLD-FASHIONED CHRISTIAN MOTHER II Timothy Chaper 1 Greetings in Jesus' name! Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and ofjesus our Lord, (n Peter 1.2) We see in 11 Timothy 1:5. that Timothy had a Christian mother and grandmother The Lord used Timothy because he was taught the Word of God. We need mothers in America today that love our Savior and teach the children that He is the only one who can save us from our sins. Jesus said. "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6: Acts 4:12) We need mothers today that will love a good fundamental Bible - believing church. Love it so much that she will attend it regularly (Hebrews 10:25) When we love the church like we should we will pray for it (1 Thess 517), and bring our tithes and offerings to support it. (Malachi 3:10,1 Cor. 16:2: II Cor 9:6,7) This is the way God planned to support the local church. God uses born-again believers as instruments in giving When that is done, we won t have to ask people for money We need godly mothers and fathers that believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God (II Timothy 3 16) The word of God is needed in the Christian life. The Lord speaks to us today through the Word of God (Heb 12: John 1:1: John 1:14) He does not speak through visions The Word speaks for itself May He the Holy Spirit speak to your heart as you read this. We need more Christian mothers that will love their home, children, husbands, and their duties She has many duties, but the most important one is to be her husband's helpmate. (Genesis 2 18-24) The Lord is to be the head of every home and the husband over the wife (Ephesians 5:23) Wives submit yourselves unto your own husband, as unto the Lord. (Eph. 5 22) This is pleasing unto the Lord When we please Him. the home will prosper and the children will turn out right. (Proverbs 22:6) 1 trust this has been a blessing to you. If it has not been a blessing, it could be that you are not saved If you do not know the Savior personally, would you bow your head and repent of sin. and ask Jesus to come into your heart and save you? Jesus said, "Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish ." (Luke 13 3) Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Spurgeon, published 1886 and made available through the l ministry of the Anabaptist Fellowship, P. 0. Box 248, Sperryville, Virginia 22740. i ‘ An Earnest Word with Those Who are * Seeking Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ’ ’ ^ j&sus v_in isi came into me worm to save sinners. It is a very surprising y thing—a thing to be marvelled at most of all by those who enjoy it. I know that it is to me even to this day the greatest wonder that I ever heard of, that God should ever justify me. I feel myself to be a lump of unworthiness, a mass of corruption, and a heap of sin, apart from his almighty love. I know by a full assurance that I am justified by faith which is in Christ Jesus, and treated as if I had been perfectly just, and made an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ; and yet by nature I must take my place among the most sinful. I, who am altogether undeserving, am treated as if I had been deserving. I am loved with as much love as if I had always been godly, whereas aforetime I was ungodly. Who can help being astonished at this? Gratitude for such favor stands dressed in robes of wonder. Now, while this is very surprising, I want you to notice how available it makes the gospel to you and to me. If God justifieth the ungodly, then, dear friend, he can justify you. Is not that the very kind of person that you are? If you are unconverted at this moment, it is a very proper description of you; you have lived without God, you have been the reverse of godly; in one word, you have been and are ungodly. Perhaps you have not even attended a place of worship on the Sabbath, but have lived in disregard of God’s day, and house, and Word—this proves you to have been ungodly. Sadder still, it may be you have even tried to doubt God's existence, and have gone the length of saying that you did so. You have lived on this fair earth, which is full of the tokens of God’s presence, and all the while you have shut your eyes to the clear evidences of his power and Godhead. You have lived as if there were no God. Indeed, you would have been very pleased if you could have demonstrated to yourself to a certainty that there was no God whatever. Possibly you have lived a great many years in this way, so that you are now pretty well settled in your ways, and yet God is not in any of them. If you were labelled UNGODLY it would as well describe you as if the sea were to be labelled salt water. Would it not? Possibly you are a person of another sort; you have regularly attended to all the outward forms of religion, and yet you have had no heart in them at all. but have been really ungodly. Though meeting with the people of God, you have never met with God for yourself; you have been in the choir, and yet have not praised the Lord with your heart. You have lived without any love to God in your heart, or regard to his commands in your life. Well, you are just the kind of man to whom this gospel is sent—this gospel which says that God justifieth the ungodly. It is very wonderful, but it is happily available for you. It just suits you. Does it not? How I wish that you would accept it! If you are a sensible man, you will see the remarkable grace of God in providing for such as you are, and you will say to yourself, “Justify the ungodly! Why, then, should not I be justified, and justified at once?” Now, observe further, that it must be so—that the salvation of God is for those who do not deserve it, and have no preparation for it. It is reasonable that the statement should be put in the Bible; for, dear friend, no others need justifying but those who have no justification of their own. If any of my readers are perfectly righteous, they want no justifying. You feel that you are doing your duty well, and almost putting heaven under an obligation to you What do you want with a Saviour, or with mercy? What do you want with justification? You will be tired of my book by this time, for it will have no interest to you. — To Be Continued —
