And they’ll evaluate suggested expenditures knowing that the share of school costs covered by other than local tax dollars will be less than this year’s 45 percent. “Federal revenue is really down,” warned Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “The obvious impact is that the county’s going to be hit really hard.” The salary component presented last week by Mr. Estabrook called for an overall 11 percent increase from the current year and would bring the beginning teacher’s pay to $16,358 and the top step for 25 years experience to $25,191. It would also give a bonus of $500 for contract renewal at the 15-19 year step range; $750 at the 20-24 year step range and $1,000 at the 25th year. “Put the bonuses back in the salary scale,” suggested board member Randall Updike in the brief budget work session that came at the close of Tuesday’s regular agenda. He pointed out that the $300 bonus given beginning teachers this year doesn’t show up in Rappahannock’s 130th ranking among Virginia’s 136 school divisions. If that $300 had been counted as salary, it would have brought the starting pay to $15,212, a figure “very competitive with the surrounding counties,” Mr. Updike said. (In 1986-87, beginning teachers in Culpeper were payed $15,726; in Madison $15,070 and in Orange $16,780.) The scale and bonuses were adopted at the request of teachers who now oppose the incentive program, Mr. Updike continued. "Maybe the bonuses have caused a little bit of confusion . . . Let’s look at that (incorporating $500 at the 1519 step, $750 at the 20-24 year step and $1,000 at the 25th year step) and ' see if it’s more pleasing.” In response to questioning, Mr. Estabrook reported that a one percent hike in teachers’ pay and its concurrent rise in fringe benefit costs will swell the budget’s bottom line by approximately $12,000. ‘That’s assuming everybody who is here this year comes back next year (at a higher paying step in the salary scale),” noted Bill Oliver. In the computations for a scale with bonuses incorporated, "let’s see one with a 12 percent increase in tea- s chers’ salaries,” added Mr. Updike. Earlier in Tuesday’s meeting, during the time set aside for public response to the superintendent’s $3,432,210 budget - a 13 percent rise from this year’s total - opposition centered on salaries. Representing the Rappahannock Counth Education Association, Lynne Baines voiced concern over the “narrow edge” in meeting the governor’s strong recommendation that teachers be accorded at least 10 percent pay hikes. (If that mark is reached, Rappahannock will receive an additional $49,000 in incentive aid from the state.) In the last five years, Rappahannock has dropped in starting salary from 65th to 130th among the state’s 136 school divisions, Mrs. Baines reported. “That’s a grave statistic. It doesn’t put us in a competitive position to attract the best new teachers (and) it reinforces Rappahannock’s rV •. \ (Continued on Page 16) .

The 440-acre tract off Rt. 211 is owned by AWQW Partnership, whose mailing address is c/o C. W. Albrite, Jr., Nokesville, Va. That property was owned by Mrs. Marion Kuhn, but was sold.

Perfect day attracts record field By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A cloudless blue sky, temperatures in the 70s and the largest field in the history of the Rappahannock Point-to-Point drew a record crowd to Sperryville Saturday for the second racing weekend erf Virginia’s ntf ripl—h—ewilm Although the weather was the drawing card for the spectators, the challenging course, located on James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm outside Sperryville, provided reason enough for riders to come from all over the Mid-Atlantic region to compete. And compete they did, with several races drawing enough entries to split the field. Larry LeHew, Master of Foxhounds for the Rappahannock Hunt, said that conditions could hardly have been better. “It was perfect weather . . . there’s always wind fb these hills, so the warm sun helped*. . . It was probably a bit hot for the “The footing (on the course) was excellent,” Mr. LeHew said. He explained that the race committee decided to split several of the races in the interest of safety. “We didn’t want any spills . . . We respect the riders, and always put safety first. People are still a little green (at this time of the year), and we didn’t want to crowd the riders.” He added that another consideration was that a number of competitors did not have a lot of racing experience; and the committee was concernedjthat they not be put in a situation; where either they - or more experienced riders - might Jms*gottenhtirt.' £ * Mr. LeHew ’said he was also pleased that the race did not have to be postponed to a later date, which is always a danger with the unpredictable weather which accompanies the season’s first steeplechase weekends. "Having to postpone til later isn’t good; later in the season it’s difficult to draw the same kind of field. . . We have a good date, and today shows we can have good weather. "We had beautiftil racing ... a record field,” Mr. LeHew concluded. "Everybody had a real good time.” John HUl, President of the Rappahannock Hunt, heartily agreed. “It couldn’t have been a better day.” Mr. Fletcher, who is past Master of Foxhounds for the Rappahannock Hunt,' and who has heen the host of 1 Rappahannock’s spring steeplechase for many years, said "Today is as beautifiil a day as we have ever had,” adding with a smile, “I take ftill credit for it.” A number of dignitaries joined the crowd to either ei\joy, or assist with the officiating, of the day’s (Continued on Page 10) Rappahannock Round-up Inside The story of the Ruritan/Stuart baseball field project p. 3 Race story, summaries from Rappahannock Point-to-Point p 10 / y/Government at a glance • Board of Supervisors: Thursday, March 12,4 p.m., Courthouse; Executive session to consider landfill. • School Board: Tuesday, March 17,7:30 p.m., RCES Library; Adoption of 1987-88 school budget. • Planning Commission: Wednesday, March 18,7:30 p.m., Courthouse; Regular monthly meeting. • Architectural Review Board: Thursday, March 19,8 p.m., Courthouse; Regular monthly meeting. • RALLY: Thursday, March 19, 7 p.m., County Library; Organizational meeting for county clean-up day (Saturday, March 28).

Concern over racial tension prompts postponement of performance By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “I’m very much aware that I was reacting to a ‘worst case scenario,’ but that’s what I have to do,” said Superintendent Robert Estabrook, explaining why he postponed a scheduled performance of a West African dance troupe before students in the gifted and talented programs at both public schools last week. Pressed for what prompted his action, Mr. Estabrook cited an unidentified parent’s report over what was described as rising racial tension between black and white students at the high school. This parent of a black student at RCHS met with the superintendent last Wednesday to relay concerns which had reportedly been voiced to high school administrators on two earlier occasions. "I was asked to look into the situation,” Mr. Estabrook said, adding that the parent was to return Thursday to talk about what could be done if his investigation confirmed heightened racial tensions. “This parent told me that many people in the black community felt the same. The parent said - and not with the idea of threatening or demanding anything - that if nothing is done, the NAACP or other civil rights groups will be asked for help to correct the situation,” the superintendent said. When he called the high school the following morning, Mr. Estabrook said he learned of the scheduled performance of Kancouran, a Senagalise dance group. He said he also learned of an incident which had occurred the previous week involving “black and white youngsters shouting racial slurs.” When the parent returned that afternoon, the superintendent continued, “I asked for an assessment on what level of risk we would be running.” The parent didn’t think postponement of the troupe’s appearance was warranted, the superintendent acknowledged. “I perceived a backing off from the allegations made at our previous meeting.” But on Thursday evening, the Friday afternoon performance was cancelled with the intention of rescheduling Rancour an some later date at both schools, Mr. Estabrook reported. In explanation, he pointed to the possibility of racial slurs directed at the dancers by students and the potential for violence as a result of those slurs. He tempered the first concern by noting that young people will often laugh and poke fun at something new and unfamiliar. The traditional dances, music and costumes would be both. But if there is racial tension among black and white students at RCHS, a remark that (Continued on Page 16) Cutting to begin on KCJtib project By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahanaock New* Staff Writer The School Board will begin whittling away next week at the deficit in the building expansion program for Rappahannock County High School. The $1.5 million construction project was approved for a low interest state literary loan in June, 1985, and Rappahannock County went on the waiting list for actual award of the money. That money came almost 21/2 years later. The project was put out for bids. Two weeks ago, the bids were opened, and the lowest bid came in at $1,658,000 - $158,000 more than the School Board has to spend in its literary loan. At Tuesday night’s board meeting, architect Bob Simpson came back to report on the first round of negotiations with Baughan Construction of Luray, the bidder with the lowest base price. “We’ve come up with 14 or 15 items that could be deleted,” Mr. Simpson said. “That doesn’t mean that there might not be more that we didn’t see.” The list of possible deletions includes: • surface treatment for the new driveway to the rear of the building and for the extension to the RCHS parking lot. • new lockers. “We could reuse the existing lockers for a while,” the architect noted. • individual work stations in the teachers’ workroom. • air conditioning in the auditorium. • the cooler/freezer unit and the vestibule and receiving dock in the expanded kitchen area. • floor openings for piping to potential lab stations which would enable the science lecture room to be later converted to a science lab. • the new door from the shop leading into the corridor where two classrooms are to be added. • the rolling counter screen at the concession stand outside the new gym. • nine skylights in the new gymnasium and its lobby. • new brick frame and roof over the exisiting canopy at the rear of the old gym. Other cost cutting design changes presented by the architect were delaying the completion of the auditorium and substitutions of (1) double layer dry wall for plaster in some ceilings and (2) a lower grade pipe for the originally proposed cast iron where allowed by the building code. Baughan Construction’s bid price holds for 30 days, through March 28, Superintendent Robert Estabrook (Continued on Page 16) ABC in Flint Hill? A proposal for a state-run liquor store in Flint Hill met with a less than enthusiastic reception from the Board of Supervisors on Monday, March 2. Chairman Hubert Gilkey relayed a request from Dr. Werner Krebser for the board’s reaction to having an Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) store at the doctor’s new commercial center on Rt. 522 in the center of the unincorporated village. Reportedly, the board’s concurrence is a prerequisite before the state will put a package store there. “It’s a political decision,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, noting that the county’s share of ABC profits is based on population and would not be increased by having an outlet here. The Flint Hill Post Office has already moved into the little shopping center. “We could kill two birds with one stone - buy a book of stamps and a bottle of Scotch at the same time!” joked administrative assistant John McCarthy. “We don’t need an ABC store anywhere in Rappahannock County,” maintained Supervisor A1 Henry. “If he (Dr. Krebser) is having problems renting his buddings, I’d rather see another real estate agent come in there.” Noting that a liquor store proposal is certain to provoke controversy, Mr. Henry added: “We’ve got enough opposition this year.” Asking the other board members for their comments, Chairman Gilkey pointed out that no one had said Dr. Krebser had any problem in finding tenants for the new commercial center. “It’ji in Flint Hill, as far as I’m concerned,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. Supervisor Nelson Lane suggested the matter be tabled, add(Continued on Pag© i 6) Eldon Farms to sell 650 acres in county By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The “long range outlook for agriculture” has prompted Lane Industries, the county’s largest single landowner, to sell approximately 650 acres of its holdings here and about 375 acres in neighboring Madison County, according to William Oliver, manager of Eldon Farms. “But Eldon Farms as a whole is not being sold,” Mr. Oliver emphasized in a telephone interview Tuesday. “There are no plans ever to do that.” The property being sold, located to the south of Route 707, and straddling the Rappahannock-Madison County line, is part of Eldon Farms’ row crop production, Mr. Oliver said. Adjacent landowners who have expressed interest in purchasing additional acreage have been notified and will be given a chance to make offers before the property is listed with a realtor, he noted. That listingL will come “in the near future,” Mr/ Oliver said. Sale of the land used for row crops is the only planned adjustment to the continuing cost/profit squeeze on agriculture. “There will be no other changes” in Eldon Farms’ beef cattle operation, the farm manager said. “The fact that it’s increasingly difficult to keep swimming upstream” led to this action, Mr. Oliver affirmed.

Kews of Record Roadhunters convicted Acting on information supplied by another hunter, two men were arrested on Dec. 26, 1986, and charged with trespassing to hunt and hunting within 100 yards of a state road. On Tuesday, in Rappahannock County General District Court, both were convicted. According to testimony from Eddie Carroll, who was hunting on adjoining land, Rex Allen Andrews and Charles Frederick Yates stopped a pickup truck they were operating on Rt. 637 and shot a deer from the roadway. They retrieved the deer from a field and put it into the back of the truck. Mr. Carroll said that he was able to identify both men because, after unloading his weapon, he observed the men through the telescopic sight of his deer rifle. He followed the men in his vehicle and got both the truck’s license number and a description of the men and the vehicle. Unsure of what to do next, Mr. Carroll followed the men into Fauquier County, where he passed a house with a Sheriffs Department cruiser sitting in the driveway. He stopped at the house and asked the deputy, Helen Hahn, to accompany him. She stopped the truck as it drove back out the dead end road. She identified herself to the men and asked them to wait for the game warden to arrive. The men refused, and saying they would be back in a few minutes, drove off. They never returned. Because Mr. Carroll had noted the truck’s license number and a description of the two men, Game Warden Jim Bankston was able to identify the two individuals. He issued the hunting citations. Warden Bankston and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke credited Mr. Carroll’s responsibility as a hunter and his willingness to cooperate with the prosecution for the fact that the two were convicted. “Mr. Carroll went to a lot of trouble” to report the incident, Mr. Luke said. “This case shows that when citizens —other hunters — are willing to identify people, to write down li cense numbers, come to court and testify, they can be effective.” Warden Bankston agreed. “Mr. Carroll and Deputy Hahn were excellent witnesses. If all hunters were as concerned about game violators as he is, we would have very few problems out in the field... We had a good case; he took good notes. There was no discrepancy between what he testified to and what they admitted to.” Judge Charles Foley found both men guilty and fined each $150 for trespassing to hunt and $100 for hunting within 100 yards of a state road. In remarks made from the bench, Judge Foley said that after the Commission’s “Bambi-scam” operation, he realized teat when people see a deer, they will shoot at it, even if it’s from a road. After testifying to the facts of the case, Mr. Carroll told the court that he feels that it is the responsibility for hunters to police their own ranks — to report violators. All hunters get a bad name because of roadhunters, he said, and it is the responsibility of legitimate hunters to report tee roadhunters. In a postscript to the case, the two convicted roadhunters allegedly made veiled threats to Mr. Carroll as he left the courtroom. The incident was reported to Mr. Luke, who confronted tee two men. “I told them that it is a Class One misdemeanor to threaten or intimidate a witness, and I look on that as very serious. If threats are made, I will not fool around... I will seek direct indictments of the individuals involved." Mr. Luke stressed that enforcement of the game laws, and law enforcement in general, relies upon the cooperation of the community. “If we can’t get citizens to come forward and testify, it’s almost impossible to enforce the game laws. To be effective it requires the cooperation of citizens — and they deserve to be protected.” “When citizens come in and make a complaint, it is the policy of the Commonwealth to protect them,” Rappahannock’s Commonwealth’s Attorney concluded.

Food bank asks help to expand Since its inception five years and ten million pounds ago, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank has worked to pursue its goal of reducing food waste and feeding the needy. Growth has been rapid for the non-profit organization which serves 23 counties and nine major cities in north central Virginia. In order to meet the demand and to effectively serve its assigned area, the organization has established three branch distribution centers in addition to the central warehouse in Staunton. These include: Lord Fairfax Food Bank in Winchester; Thomas Jefferson Food Bank, Charlottesville; and Lynchburg Area Food Bank, Lynchburg. More than 600 area churches, missions, the Salvation Army, day care centers, homes and other groups who provide food to needy individuals and families are served by the Food Bank. Donated food originates from national sources through the Second Harvest National Food Bank Network of which the local Food Banks are members. Local food comes from wholesalers, pack ers and retailers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture provides commodities such as cheese, milk, flour and other staples. Due to the ever increasing volume of food received, processed and distributed, the Food Bank found itself with products stored at five different locations in the Staunton area causing an inefficient and needlessly expensive situation. A search was conducted and a building was identified and obtained in Verona, Virginia. The building, located across from McQuay on Rt. 612 in Verona, was formerly occupied by Standard Tile and All Weather Insulation Companies. The storage building with of- ■ fices attached has been completely modernized and equipped. A display area and facilities for handling salvage products have been added. A large 40,000 cubic foot capacity combination freezer/cooler has been erected, capable of storing some 150 pallets of product. The facility, which contains 17,000 sq. ft. of storage space, was occupied by the Food Local students on dean’s list Honor students Cathy Ann Atkins of Flint Hill and Ginger Michelle Eidson of AmissviUe were among 220 Longwood College students named to the Dean’s List for outstanding academic achievement during the first semester of 1986-87.

Stuart Field: Monument to cooperation B 7 H. RAMSEY TERHUNE Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer “Lives of great men all remind | us we can make our lives sublime, and departing, leave behind us footprints in the sands of time.” One of the finest expressions of human concern is the unselfish act that provides assistance to the other fellow. Just such a motive is reflected in the gift of a valuable piece of Rappahannock real estate presented to the Amissville Ruritan Club a few years ago. Captain Luther Stuart, United i States Navy (Retired), was an ; Amissville resident with a heart-felt interest in the development of youth j and the civic affairs of the county. Aware of the kindred objectives held by Ruritan National, which focuses on community needs and cooperation with other service groups with similar goals, plans were arranged for Mrs. Stuart to carry out Capt. Stuart’s wishes after his death. On Sept. 13, 1983, in a meeting with Mrs. Stuart, Mrs. John Early, attorney Sharon Luke annd Ruritan members Louis Jenkins and Nelson Burner, the formal presentation was offered. Capt. Stuart’s plan called for the subdivision of the Stuart property on Rt. 211. Of the 11.75 acres in the tract, 8.66 were to be given the the Amissville Ruritans - the other 3.1 acres would remain with the Stuart residence. An important provision of the entire transaction was the understanding that the. Amissville Little League was to eryoy full access to and use of the ball field on the property. At the Kuntan business meeting the same month the proffered gift was enthusiastically accepted and a letter of appreciation sped off to Mrs. Stuart. The deed drawn to finalize the proposal was signed March 20,1984. The proposed transfer as "described was presented to the Rappahannock County Planning Commission at its December, 1984 meeting. The proposal was denied due to its failure to meet certain subdivision requirements. To comply with the subdivision requirements a covenant was added to the original deed: this stipulated that the property would be fenced and access restricted by a gate; fields are to be kept clean and mowed; a plaque would be erected in memory of Capt. Stuart; ball teams age 18 and younger would have access and use of the property. Also stipulated were rules prohibiting alcoholic beverages, a curfew time and a prohibition On public gatherings.*1 The revised deed, thus written, was taken before the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, which granted a variance and approved the proposal on July 17,1985. In the meantime the Ruritans had become the landlords of the Stuart gift. Responsible ownership calls for organization and a plan for operation. While there were no blueprints, no architects, no master plans, there were masterminds of experience - and there was collective wisdom. Step by step, each problem was carefully assessed. Much discussion centered on the required fencing: What type of fence, where to get the funds. But before addressing the fencing problem a more immediate dilemma surfaced: How to remove several large trees and bushes and clear the 20foot right-of-way. A surprise assist solved the club’s quandary when Henry Diggs paid the members a visit during a meeting in 1984. Mr. Diggs owned a sawmill on Rt. 645. As the members discussed alternatives to remove the trees, Mr. Diggs volunteered his bulldozer.

(A letter acknowledging this gracious offer of assistance was dispatched to Mr. Diggs in September, 1984.) An impressive demonstration of weight and power dazzled spectators as the massive ‘dozer inched up the side of the first big locust tree. Inch by inch, the machine pushed upward and forward, snapping roots until machine and gravity toppled the tree with an ominous “Thud!” In quick succession the remaining trees were felled. Then, the high-pitched buzz of several powersaws told of another step nearing completion. By quitting time the Ruritan work crew had branches and trunks all reduced to neatly stacked piles of firewood, a promise of warm winters ahead for Mrs. Stuart. As with other volunteer organizations, the Ruritan National membership includes farmers, businessmen, and individuals with families and other interests. Therefore, time spent and numbers available for the work crews varied as the phases of the project were tackled, one by one. With good old-fashioned democratic expression the question of fencing was resolved. Pressed for action, the club chose a white, threeboard and post fence, a mark of quality for .generations throughout, Yir* ginia’s horse country. 41 It was at the September, 1984 meeting that president Wayne Kanaby advised the members of comments from outside criticizing the delay in completion of the fence. Coincidentally, that very day a letter had been submitted by Ruritan member H. R. Terhune offering the club approximately 1000 fencing boards, contingent upon the willingness of other club members to supply the needed posts.

(Admittedly, it may not have been a statistically valid sampling, since the imminent departure of school buses allowed time for canvassing only four students.) Had they overheard their folks discussing any of the mat ters brought up at Monday’s meeting? Land assessments? The landfill crisis? Highway issues? The county’s noise ordinance? “I’ve heard my parents talking about the trucks on Rt. 522,” reported Sherrie Burke. “And I know we have a trash problem. You can drive by in a car and see it,” added James Stone. What did they think the members of the Board of Supervisors are paid for their work? “A lot, probably,” answered Michael Brown. The other three nodded agreement. Raised eyebrows and surprised looks greeted the news that the supervisors are, in fact, paid very little. And that information may have had a bearing on their answer to the next question: did they want to grow up to be supervisors? “No way!” was the unanimous response. Supervisors scrutinize land use taxation program In the upcoming months, the Rappahannock supervisors will take a close look at the county’s land use taxation program, with an eye towards raising the assessments on horticultural acreage. Under the program, which is designed to preserve and protect farmland and open space, qualifying land is assessed for taxation at its use value, rather than its speculative - or fair market - value for development purposes. According to information presented by administrative assistant John McCarthy on, Monday, Rappahannock currently has 78,944 acres in land use. The county uses the state’s recommended values for agricultural and forested land but not for horticultural, he noted. Instead, the lower agricultural assessments are applied to horticultural land, Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s difficult to determine what revenues would be raised if the horticultural assessments were adopted,” he added, noting that the range for the two horticultural categories “is considerably higher than agricultural assessments for the same acreage.” , „ Most of RappahawnOcrf'rf- orchards fall in soil categories with an assessment range of $520 to $310 per acre in the state’s agricultural classifications; in the horticultural classifications, the range for the same soil categories is $1,440 to $1,000 per acre for apple producing land and $1,310 to $900 per acre for peach, cherry, pear or plum orchards. The higher figures "are a valid assessment for horticultural land if it’s a producing orchard, but not if it’s an abandoned orchard,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. With the county following the state’s recommended assessments for forested and agricultural land, it would be consistent to adopt also the higher assessments for horticultural land, Mr. McCarthy pointed out. He added that assessments for the different land categories in the use value taxation program may be changed only during a county-wide reassessment, which Rappahannock is conducting this year. “Let’s not hurry into this,” cautioned Supervisor Charles Estes, meeting agreement from his fellow board members to table the assessment question until next month. In a second proposal relating to the land use taxation program, the board voted unanimously to charge a ’ $80 revalidation fee to cover the annual certification for a five-year period.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. V. THURSDAY, MARCH 12,1987 Cdliorial Our letters policy Recently, the Rappahannock News has received several unsigned letters. They contained serious allegations about the county’s public schools. One was apparently written by a student, at least one of the others by a parent. The writers requested that this newspaper forego its usual requirement that “to be considered for publication, letters must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number.” None of the requests was granted. There is good reason for our policy. Experience shows that most unsigned letters have a common theme - the writer is dissatisfied with something or wishes to make the public aware of an alleged ii\justice. It’s true that many of the signed letters to the editor which this newspaper publishes also follow that theme. There are several notable differences. Some signed letters to the editor are complimentary. We have yet to see a single unsigned letter with a positive or comnlimentarv obiective. Sometimes, for one reason or another, it may be necessary to contact the author of a letter to clarify something; whether it be an illegible word or an unclear point. That is impossible to do when the letter is unsigned. But, most important, the writer who affixes their signature to the bottom of their letter is putting their personal integrity and reputation behind the substance of the letter. Our legal system gives a defendant the right to see his accuser face to face in court. We feel our readers should have the same right. An entire community may read an allegation against an individual or an institution which is printed in a newspaper/-- ■ • > The community, and the person ormstitution accused, have, in this newspaper's judgment, the right to know who the person is who makes the allegation. The unsigned letters which we have recently received are being held at the newspaper office in Washington. If the author, or authors, wish to have the letters considered for publication, and are willing to use their names, they should contact the Rappahannock News. Aside from letters judged to be libelous or of questionable taste, this newspaper will not censor letters for content. Sometimes, it may be necessary to edit lengthy letters due to space limitations, but every effort will be made to retain the context and meaning of the original. But we will not waive our requirement that letters be signed. To do so would abrogate our responsibility to our readers. RALLY planning county clean-up The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY!) is planning a Spring Clean-up Day, March 28, which it hopes will eliminate some of the county’s biggest litter eyesores; and at the same time create a greater public awareness of Rappahannock’s litter problem. Litter Coordinator John McCarthy said that plans for the clean-up day are progressing well, and a meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, March 19 at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Public Library to coordinate the effort. The March 28 cleanup will begin with participants meeting at 10 a.m. at the Rappahannock Recreation Center on Rt. 211 outside Washington. Groups will head out to the designated clean-up sites from there. It is scheduled to last until 2 p.m. He asked that leaders of volunteer groups who plan to assist in the clean-up fry to attend the meeting so that RALLY can get a general idea of how many people will be available. If it is not possible for anyone to attend the meeting, Mr. McCarthy asked that a representative from the group contact his office (6753342) and give him that information. Mr. McCarthy said that residents are also urged to either attend the meeting, or call the office, to let RALLY know where the county’s biggest problem areas are. “I really hope that we can get good participation - not just the kids but the adults as well,” he said. He added that McDonalds of Culpeper has offered to donate trash bags, as well as some refreshments to supplement those which RALLY will provide to all participants in the dean-up effort. Everyone who pitches in will also receive a silkscreened T-Shirt. ’The Virginia Department of Transportation will also provide trashbags and reflective vests for the volunteers to wear, and will also pick up the filled trashbags from the cleanup sites. David Chuse, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, is serving, along with Helen Holschuh, as a coordinator for the RALLY effort. He said that the March 19 meeting is important, not only to plan the dean-up day, but to develop a plan for activities in the future. Mr. Chuse urged all groups who have an interest in keeping Rappahannock beautiful and Utter-free to send a representative to the organizational meeting. “This day,” Mr. Chuse said, “to be successful, ought to be more than just a dean-up day. No one thinks that the solution here is for some people to be constantly mopping up after others. We want to develop activities that start to get at the difficult point of why people Utter, and what can be done to change those patterns. If successful, I think youll be changing a lot more than just Uttering habits.” Both emphasized that for RALLY to be successful, every resident of Rappahannock must join in the effort. Among their suggestions were informing Mr. McCarthy’s office of particularly badly Uttered sections of roads, the location of Ulegal dump sites, and any abandoned automobiles which RALLY might assist in having removed. Rappahannock Heritage STEEPLECHASING IS A HARBINGER of the spring season in Rappahannock County. Letters to tlie editor Learn facts To the editor: There seems to be a deep misunderstanding among some of the residents of Washington, Virginia, and Rappahannock County about the purpose and goal of the Architectural Review Board (ARB). Turn the name around - a board which reviews architecture! To the best of my knowledge, every town or city o| any significant historical importance (the key word) has an ARB to help it maintain that position. Certain villages; towns and cities in other counties of Virginia have been permitted to change their buildings to conform with the times - that’s known as progress! In doing so, the original buildings were torn down and replaced by faceless box-like edifices, or the original building fronts were covered by modern facades of artifical materials. Well-known old taverns were destroyed, leaving nothing but a plaque as a marker to indicate what once had been there. The connections with the past are lost forever, and the town or city loses it identity. This must not be allowed to happen here in First Washington. Our ARB is doing its best to prevent our town and county from losing its identity. It’s not an easy task, but an understanding public could ease the burden by actually seeing the beauty and charm in the old huildings, and showing pride in having a residence in Washington and the county. Because of a minority of one or two residents, the ARB has been placed in an unfortunate and awkward position. There will always be a few dissidents in a group who seem to take pleasure in crying “foul,” even though no fault was committed. The ARB is using written standards set forth by the Secretary of the Interior regarding the preservation of historic districts - precise guidelines which the board carefully follows in making its decisions. It is a non-threatening group of residents who want only the best for your town and county - a group composed of three members of the community - not a three-headed monster breathing fire! In performing their duties, the members require that applications be submitted to the board for review, then they make their decisions based on the merits of each individual application. Every applicant sub mits the necessary measurements, sizes, materials, colors and other pertinent data to substantiate his or her application. The applicant is also required to be present to furnish any additional information requested by the members. There’s nothing about the procedure which ever could be considered threatening. The members exercise dedicated care in preserving the past and the quality of life while at the same time increasing property values. Contact some of the applicants who have received their Certificates of Appropriatness. Hear directly from them how they feel about the ARB. Since Washington, Virginia, is registered in Richmond as an historic area, there are certain criteria which must be followed. The board does not play favorites - if the guidelines are not strictly followed, then sometimes some problems arise. However, problems can be resolved. The members cannot and do not bend the rules. Theirs is a tough, thankless job, with no remuneration - a job in which it’s impossible to please everyone. But, given all the facts, I believe that they’ve done an admirable job so far, and with public understanding and cooperation, they can continue to perform to their highest potential. Visiting First Washington can still be experienced by visitors as “a step back in time.” You can be proud that the Architectural Review Board and the current Town Council have played a big part in maintaining that image. Look around you and see how other residents have improved the appearance and value of their homes with the assistance of the ARB. Better still, plan to attend some of the monthly meetings - listen to the questions asked by the members and the answers given. Become familiar with the procedure first hand so you’ll reach your own conclusions based on fact — not hearsay. The public has always been invited and is most welcome - you don’t have to be an applicant. As an interested spectator you ask your own questions and receive factual responses directly from the members. The members are there to help you. At least, give them a try. A time-worn maxim comes to mind: “There’s none so blind as those who will not see.” DONNA FISHER Washington Governor proclaims Agriculture W eek Governor Gerald L. Baliles has signed a proclamation recognizing the week of March 15-21 as Agriculture Week in Virginia. He noted, in remarks made at the signing ceremony, that agriculture is one of Virginia’s foremost industries. In addition to providing thousands of jobs, agriculture generates $19 billion in direct and indirect economic activity in the Commonwealth. Although not a part of the Agriculture in Virginia recognition, President Reagan has designated Friday, March 20, as Agriculture Day. The day is recognized annually to celebrate the economic and cultural contributions of the working men and women of American agriculture and to help all Americans gain a greater understanding of the need to keep this country’s food-producing system strong. “We have a special reason for saluting Virginia’s farmers this year,” said Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “Many farmers have weathered an exasperating year in 1986 with the drought, low prices for some commodities and the continued financial squeeze making life difficult on the A successful year To the editor: The Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department would like to thank the Culpeper and Rappahannock communities for their continued support and contributions.

But in spite of these factors agriculture continues to be the mainstay of the state’s economy and farmers look to the spring of 1987 with hope.” Agriculture Week, the commissioner noted, “calls attention to the many contributions that agriculture makes to the state’s economy. Agriculture is more than just farming, with nearly one of every four working Virginians employed in some aspect of the industry. “Virginia’s farmers have been meeting the challenges of the times with increased development of alternative crops and creating new enterprises such as the wine industry, the production of broccoli, cantaloupes, mushrooms and added interest in ex port timber sales. Though the number of farms has been reduced, acreage has remained constant over the past few years and the scientific approach to farming has kept production levels up.” "There are many challenges ahead for Virginia’s agriculture,” the commissioner concluded, “but this week, Agriculture Week, is a time to salute the farmers for what they have done in supplying us with the food and fiber necessary for our existence and for their continuing efforts to assure that we are the best fed nation in the world.” America now produces nearly one-twelfth of the world’s total output of major agricultural commodities.

Scouts camp, honor Eagles The Shenandoah Area Council. Boy Scouts of America, held its annual Eagle recognition dinner Feb. 24 at the Braddock Street United Methodist Church in Winchester. Richard L. (Lee) Baines of Troop t1 Rappahannock County, was among 27 scouts recognized for achieving the rank of Eagle, Scouting’8 highest award, during 1986. Dr. James A. Davis, president of the Shenandoah College and Conservatory in Winchester, was the guest speaker. Dr. Davis is an adult leader active in Shenandoah Area Council scouting. He spoke to the assembled Eagle Scouts, their families and friends about leadership — and what leados really do about setting goals, motivating others and helping themselves and others deal with conflicting realities. He also explained that being a leader and being a manager might not necessarily be the same thing. Following the dinner, each Eagle was given the opportunity to spend some time with a member of the community who is active in the career or field in which the scout has expressed an interest. The Shenrapawa District of the Shenandoah Area Council held its annual winter camporee last month. The “Cold-o-Rama” was held at Lake Arrowhead, outside Luray. Rappahannock County was represented by Boy Scout Troop 123. They were among 105 scouts and 32 leaders who braved the cold and snow to participate in the weekend camp. Cub Scouts from Pack 123 in Washington visited the Cold-oRama Saturday afternoon. . The camporee’s theme was scout skills. The troops competed by patrols in six contests Saturday afternoon which were based on scouting skills. The competitions included fire building, compass reading, first aid, a candle relay, knots and nature. Each skill earned points for the scouts, and ribbons were awarded to thextop three patrols. First place went to the Bat Patrol of Troop 4, Front Royal. Other activities during the weekend included a commissioners meeting and campfire Saturday evening and a church service Sunday morning.

Slaughter re-introduces health care proposal “The time has come for Congress to adopt a proposal along the lines of our Health Care Savings Account legislation,” said Virginia Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., who was joined at a press conference by Representatives Phil Crane (R-IL) and David Dreier (R-CA) in the U.S. Capitol Building. “The President reiterated one of his top domestic policy goals in his State of the Union address: to provide protection for the elderly against the costs associated with catastrophic illness. The recommendations in the report that resulted from the President’s mandate deserve serious consideration by the Congress,” Mr. Slaughter said in his speech. “However, the concerns of the elderly with regard to health care do not begin and end with costs associated with a catastrophic illness. On the contrary, if we step back and look into the future, we see other health care issues which must be quickly taken care of.” Mr. Slaughter said the Health Care Savings Account Act addresses the three mqjor health care problems facing the elderly: namely, the skyrocketing need for and costs of long term health care (particularly nursing home care), the immense drain of financial resources associated with catastrophic illness, and finally, the impending deficits in the financing of the Medicare system. “The legislation we are reintroducing today is a private sector solution that would grant tax incentives to individuals to contribute to a Health Care Savings Account, which they would use in retirement before making claims on the scarce Medicare trust funds,” explained Rep. Slaughter. Individuals participating in the Health Care Savings Account program would be provided with protection from the costs of catastrophic illness, he said. In addition, the funds saved in these accounts would provide new resources for long term care. Rep. Slaughter said, “The Administration is continuing to examine approaches to the problem of the costs involved in a catastrophic illness; we believe the provisions in our Health Care Savings Account legislation should be adopted as part of the solution to this and the other problems - both present and future - faced by our elderly in the health care area.” Last year Rep. Slaughter introduced similar legislation (H.R. 3505) which was co-sponsored by 40 members of the House of Representatives. BURKE’S STORE JSS.

J Trible, Daniel unite to stop nuclear dump United States Senator Paul Trible (R-Va) and Congressman Dan Daniel (D-Va) recently introduced legislation to eliminate the second high-level nuclear waste site and allow all waste to be stored in one site now being established in the western United States. “There is no need for our nation to pursue plans for a second site. The western site is capable of holding all the waste generated until the year 2020. In addition, at a time of spending restraint, it makes no sense to spend billions of dollars we don’t have on a second site that’s unnecessary,” Sen. Trible said. • “There is growing evidence that a second repository will not be needed any time soon, and in all likelihood, before a second location is needed, technological developments will have made it unnecessary,” Rep. Daniel added. The legislation would prohibit the Department of Energy from moving ahead on selecting a second site and it removes the 70,000 metric ton cap placed on the dump site in the western United States. “By lifting this arbitrary limit, the first site could be expanded to hold all the waste expected to be generated until the year 2020. There t is no technical basis for the 70,000 ton capacity,” Sen. Trible maintained. “We believe it would be sound policy to proceed as appropriate with the siting of a repository in the Western United States, where feasible locations have already been established, to remove the arbitrary cap of 70,000 metric tons and to declare it Congressional intent that no further, second site be developed,” Rep. Daniel said. Secretary of Energy John Herrington recently announced plans to resume the search for a second site. Three sites in Virginia were under consideration when Herrington ended the search last year. The sites are located in Bedford, Halifax and Pittsylvania counties and in Goochland, Louisa and Hanover counties. “There is no reason to construct a second site when one site will meet our national needs. In addition, r while the Department of Energy is projecting declining waste production, estimates of the cost of disposal sites are rising from $19.6 billion to $26.7 billion in only 18 months. This is money we simply don’t have. “It’s essential we end the search for a second site and I’ll do all I can to protect Virginia,” Sen. Trible said. “We have too many options available to meet energy needs in the future to continue on the path of evergrowing nuclear waste storage. Subseabed disposal for present and future nuclear waste continues to be studied. Extended fuel bumup will result in even less waste to be stored. Magnetic ftision continues to hold promise, as does improvement in clean coal technology. “In light of these opportunities, it makes sense to cease development of high-level nuclear waste disposal beyond our present needs,” Rep. Daniel concluded. Looking for a bargain? Check the classifieds in HPbe ftappafyannocfe JUto*. SCHEWELS NO FINANCE CHARGE FOR 12 MONTHS!

It also has a far deeper significance. In having a dog of his own, a boy learns a great deal. He discovers what trust and dependence really mean He cares for a living creature that can't go it entirely on its own. Having a dog is an important part of a boy's life. It's like having a buddy to talk to as they skate across a frozen pond or dangle a fishhook in the river beneath the summer sun. Like having a mother to tuck him in at night. Like having a father, for those heart-to-heart talks. Most of all, like having a church or synagogue to turn to Scriptures Seiecied by The American Bc«* Soc»ty Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 1 Samuel 1 Kings 2 Chronicles 2 Chronicles Psalm Psalm Psalm 17:41-54 8:54-61 2:1-16 9:1-12 22:14-31 68:24-45 105:26-45 CoerngM 1987 KprawWMtjms Nmspapef s*r*c*a P 0 Bo« 8005.

Bag lunches don’t have to be dull. Different breads can be used - whole wheat, banana, zucchini, apple cheese, or carrot are but a few choices. Sandwich halves can have different spreads. Soups and stews become welcome changes in cool weather. These can be heated at home and put in a thermos or heated at the job site if a microwave is available. Chefs, vegetable, fruit or pasta salad are pleasant changes in hot weather. Flit something cold or frozen in the lunch box or bag. This might be a cold drink, a small plastic container with water and ice, or one of the new commercial freezing gels. Some lunch bags now come with freeze pack inserts. If sandwiches are not being eaten, some form of starch needs to be added. Some suggestions might be potato salad, pasta salad, muffins, rolls, quick breads, or cereal munchies. Following a few Bafety rules to avoid food-borne illness is a must. If you prepare lunches the night before, refrigerate them. If possible, refrigerate again at work. Wash the lunch box or tote bag every night to keep bacteria from growing in seams and corners. To eliminate odors, wash with baking soda every week. Use only new, dean paper bags, not the ones used to carry groceries home from the store. These can pass dirt or bacteria from other food to your lunch. To feel better and work better on hot afternoons, eat s healthful lunch with foods from each of the nugor food groups. Just be sure to pack all lunches safely!

Sport Point-to-Point (Continued from Page 1) events. John W. Warner, Virginia’s senior U. S. Senator, and Delegate Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. minority leader of Virginia’s House of Delegates, both served as patrol judges. Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. and Washington Redskin owner Jack Kent Cook also joined the crowd which cheered the competitors from the infield. Douglas King, a professional trainer and jockey from Malvern, Pennsylvania, was among the riders who set aside the weekend to compete at Thornton Hill. Although he didn’t take home any trophies, Mr. King had nothing but praise for the day’s racing. “I came down to check on the competition,” he said during an interview Sunday, “. . . to have fun, get fit, and get some race experience.” He entered two horses at Casanova last weekend, and rode Berny’s Shali to a fourth place finish in the Mary D. Slaughter timber race at Rappahannock. “I was a little disappointed with the way he ran - but I took it easy down the hills, went around the deep spots - that cost me lengths. My concern was to protect the horse.” The 24-year-old fifth-generation horseman has his sights set on the Maryland Hunt Cup, run the last weekend in April in the Green Spring Valley north of Baltimore. His ultimate goal is to match the achievement of his great-grandfather, who competed in England’s Grand National, the most prestigious steeplechase in the world. The shorter courses and lower fences found in Virginia’s early spring steeplechases, Mr. King explained, provide excellent training for both him and his mounts. They work up from the two to three mile courses with three to four foot fences found in this area’s races to the longer (4 to 5 mile) courses and higher (5 foot) fences which he will face when the steeplechase season opens “up north” in April. A PERFECT DAY FOR RACING, whether you brought the Rolls and all the trimmings . . . Rappahannock Newi photoa/Cindy Mahan ... or just a couple of lawn chairs. The first race Mr. King ever won was, in 1983, which probably explains the special fondness he feels for the Rappahannock Point-toPoint. “That was the neatest experience - I couldn’t believe it!” He’s been returning ever since. “I love it here . . . such beautiful country, nice people, a slower pace.” He said that he will probably return to Virginia for the Warrenton or Old Dominion races, before settling in to the racing season in Maryland and Pennsylvania. He’s planning on three or four more tuneup races before the Hunt Cup. Local riders also did well last weekend. George Lee of Sperryville; owner and trainer of Tougher Still, wore a jockey’s cap as well and rode him to victory in his division of the Mary D. Slaughter timber race. For Mr. Lee, his first victory left him smiling from ear to ear. “It’s a great feeling,” he said, still savoring the flush of victory as he relaxed in the paddock after the last race. Mr. Lee trained Tougher Still “from scratch,” using techniques with names like “LSD” (Long Slow Distance), “split routines,” “acceleration intervals” and “speed work;” all terms familiar to human athletes (Continued on Page 11) Cassel, Russell take trophies By MUPHEN WHITNEY Arandel Newipapcn Special Writer Last spring’s 1986 Rappahannock Point-to-Point races were held in the glorious sunshine of a 70-degree day. This spring’s Rappahannock races were also held under sunny skies and amidst balmy temperatures. But this year’s races took place as regularly scheduled on the first Saturday in March, while the 1986 races had been postponed to the end of the season and were held in late April. The unseasonably warm weather last Saturday assured huge fields of horses and a large crowd of spectators. Close to 100 horses remained after scratches to take part in 14 divisions of the eight races. The two flat races — one for adults and one for juniors — were each split into three divisions. Two timber races — the Open Timber and the Ladies’ Timber — were also split. It is almost unheard of to have to split a timber race, especially this early in the season. There was some grumbling about splitting the Ladies’ Race, since there were only 11 entries remaining at post time. But given the inexperience of many of the. horses and riders entered in the race, officials decided that splitting the race was the only sensible decision. The value of that decision was proven in the second division when Michelle Harper on Tina’s Sword came to grief at the jump at the bottom of “Heartbreak Hill.” Her fall also carried Mark of Eden and Marcie Smith off course and interfered with most of the other horses on the course, including the venerable Cinzano. Fortunately, since the race had been split and there were not 11 horses coming over the jump all at once, the damage was minimized. Patti Cassel and her champion mare, the 11-year-old Splashy Lea, had been staying well back of the pack and were able to avoid the pileup and take an advantageous spot on the inside. Then Splashy demonstrated that her 20-month lay-off had not diminished her famous stretch-running style as she blazed past everything in sight. The mare finished three lengths ahead of Cinzano, Michele Rouse up, Refinancing highinterest mortgages at today’s lower rates pays off at Virginia Savings Bank in more ways than one.

Main St. s3 who had eight lengths on Caroline Connors and Lyle’s Turn. It was another 15 lengths to the only other finisher, Baron Zantippy, ridden by owner Kip Holloway. "I wanted to see what she could do,” said Ms. Cassel. “She’s fitter than I thought she would be. I wanted to see if she still had it and she proved to me today that she did. I think we’re headed to the sanctioned races.” Michele Rouse was characteristically philosophical about Cinzano’s loss. “He’s still the one,” said Mrs. Rouse. “He listened very well out there and did his best to keep us out of trouble. It’s not his fault.” The first division of the Ladies’ Race did not have the drama of a spill, but there was drama nonetheless. Eva Dahlgren, who sat out last spring’s season with a broken knee, went wire to wire with her Ahwaz. It was not a victory that was handed to them, however. Diamond Bidder, Hilary Thompson in the irons, made a charge at the leader before the final jump. It was the 7-year-old gelding’s first start over timber and while he brought lots of raw speed and talent to the race. Ahwaz’s jumping experience and timber racing experience paid off with a one-length advantage at the wire. “I just decided I had the experience to get out there and go to the front,” said Ms. Dahlgren. “I let the horse do it. He’s so cagey and he knows this course.” Ms. Thompson was very enthusiastic about Diamond Bidder’s performance. “He ran really well, especially since this is his first time over timber,” said the blond jockey. "He’s been schooling beautifully and it really paid off. I’ve schooled him over fences more than I remember ever schooling a horse before.” The owner-rider timber race also offered fans a thrilling finish as Marat zoomed through the stretch with the 7-year-old mare Satan’s Lite nipping at his heels. Marat held on by a length and he and Satan’s Lite had a distance on the rest of the field. Early leader Jolly Jake, Stewart Marr riding, finished third and Manly Carter, owned and ridden by Zohar BenDov, was fourth. Messrs. Jake and Marr had taken the lead at the drop of the flag and held onto it, though pressed by Reve du Pere, Marat, and Satan’s Lite at different times. Then, going up the mountain for the final time, Marat made his move, followed by Satan’s Lite. Jolly Jake didn’t give up. But the real battle developed at the final fence when Satan’s Lite and Allan Olson moved within a half length, of Marat and Dr. William Russell. Dr. Russell and his catty gelding handled the final turn better than their competitors and got enough of a head start in the stretch that their victory was assured. On the way to the winner’s circle Dr. Russell commented on the race: “It was a damn tough race. I didn’t think Jolly Jake would stay in there so long.” As usual, Dr. Russell was reluctant to take any credit at all for the strategy that developed during the race, giving all the credit to his super gelding. “You need such a good horse to compete these days. Marat just keeps improving. And he can turn. That is very important on a course like this and it was very important today.” Don Yovanovich, who trains Marat for Dr. Russell, trains and rides many other horses that race over fences, including the Northern Fling son I Chase the Clouds. Last week at Casanova this duo posted an impressive victory, fending off a serious stretch drive by Tingle’s Image. This week the course got the better of the 6-year-old gelding as I Chase the Clouds fought with his groom on the way to the post and refused to be turned into the fence at the bottom of “Heartbreak Hill.” The refusal cost him the lead, and after making the jump on the second attempt I Chase the Clouds rejoined the race - dead last. This fence is met twice on the 2V2-mile open timber course and each time Mr. Yovanovich had to guide I Chase the Clouds in a circle and reface the fence.

The proceeding will normally be conducted by the attorney representing the lending institution at a place of his convenience. Also in company will be the REALTOR who has handled the negotiations up to this point. Both the seller and buyer will have their representing attorneys if they have retained diem for this purpose. It is a good idea for the buyer to have his spouse at the closing if he is married. The bank taking the mortgage may want both husband and wife to sign the deed and the mortgage note even though the buyer may be putting it through in his name only. The seller does not have to be at the closing. He may sign his deed in advance and arrange to be represented. It should be noted here that the buyer is expected to pay the difference between the selling price and the mortgage down payment with a bank check, certified check or cash.

Summaries (Continued from Page 10) was successful on the second try. On the second lap I Chase the Clouds had regained the lead, but again dropped far back in the pads after refusing the fence. Despite having to run this racewithin-a-race, I Chase the Clouds had enough left at race’s end to finish second, eight lengths behind the tough mare Tougher Still who ran a picture perfect race. Tougher Still is a 5-year-old mare owned, ridden, and trained by George Lee who hunts with the home hunt. The native Englishman has owned the mare for the last year and was very pleased with her performance, although he felt he himself could have been fitter. "Part of the reason that we did so well is that the mare turns so well. When she starts to roll, she just goes, and Donny couldn’t catch her. I thought I was pretty fit until we had to finish this course,” Mr. Lee said. The second division of the open timber was won by I Chase the Clouds’ nemesis from last week, Tingle’s Image. Tingle’s Image took over the lead from Demy’s Shali midway through the 2Vz miles, finishing 6 lengths ahead of his nearest competitor. Jockey Greg Ryan, who rode Tingle’s Image to a second place timber win last week at Casanova, was pleased with the gelding’s perfor nuuice. “With a horse like that you can ride with confidence,” said an enthusiastic Mr. Ryan. “You can put him anywhere and he’s happy. He’s a real gentleman.” First time starter Naughty Hugo brightened Don Yovanovich’s day considerably with a score in the Maiden Hurdle race. Early leader Singing Rullah was the victim of a pilot error when Matt Leslie went off course. “I just wiped out,” said Mr. Leslie. “I was so worried about the fence that I forgot about the finish.” Mr. Leslie regrouped quickly and ■ finished fourth of seven with Singing Rullah. Naughty Hugo, who was in contention for the win anyway, surged to the front and finished a length ahead of Uncle Jock. Mr. Yovanovich was pleased not just about the win, but because his assessment of the horse had been 1 confirmed. “I bought this horse last i July to sell and I’ve always had a lot I of faith in him. He showed me today I that riiyfaith w*8 in.the right place.” ' ■■ -InitheOpenf Hilrdterace Essayer* repeated his ofictory of last week' when he went wire to wire, besting Star Billing at the finish. According to rider “SneeHv” Smithwielr “he fin ished as well as he started. “He runs the best out on the front end,” he said. “He went out there and relaxed and was happy. He settled well and jumped like a stag. When he heard the other horse (Star Billing) he moved off.” SUMMARIES: . HUNTER PACE PAIR. FAST TIME DIVISION. Time 9:54. 1. Little and Bold, Oliver L.

The hound race capped the day at Thornton Hill Saturday. About 50 hounds competed for “top dog’’ honors, following a drag laced with fox scent around the oval course, which included several jumps. Point-to-Point (Continued from Page 10) training; for endurance running competition. Sally Cunningham, who designed the pairs course for the Hunter Pace event, took first place honors, with her partner James Atkins, in the fast time division. Ms. Cunningham also finished fourth in the William Noble Lane Foxhunters’ Race. She is a four-time winner of the fast time division of the Hunter Pace race, where the object is self-explanatory: complete the course as fast as possible. Sara W. Adams, riding Tiger, and Sandra Cartwright-Brown, aboard Rachel, also representing the Rappahannock Hunt, finished third in the optimum time division. The winners of that division finished 25 seconds slower than the sealed time set by the pace rider. The second and third place teams finished five and six seconds slower, respectively. The optimum time division “is like a car rally,” Ms. Cunningham said. “Everybody wants to know who set the time. The identity of the pacer gives an idea of the optimum time — whether the pace was crazy or sane. “None of the cross-country courses are easy,” she said. “They all challenge both the horse and rider at all levels. There are areas where you have to consider walking to do it correctly, some galloping, some places where you steer the horse through the woods.” Many riders start steeplechasing in the pairs competition, the veteran rider explained. “It’s a good place to start - people really eiyoy it... A lot of them go out with their knees knocking - but they all come across the finish line with smiles. That's the nice thing about it - everybody has fun!” There were a lot of smiles at Thornton Hill Farm on Saturday. Wash. VFD sets magic show “My show has something for everyone,” said magician Edwin Smith, who will be performing at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m. The Page County prestidigitator, who has been practicing his craft since high school - about 40 years ago - said that his show includes tricks for all ages, adding that one of the fascinating things about magic is that it appeals to the kid in ffieryone. He said that he has always been fascinated and enjoyed trying to figure out how things work, and got in terested in magic that way. He started with basic coin, card and match tricks, and over the years has broadened his repertoire to include a variety of much more involved illusions. “There’s a great variety of tricks,” Mr. Smith said. “One of the things I try to do is to get kids from the audience up on stage to help with the tricks - sometimes I even ‘rope’ adults into assisting.” “Kids from five to 90 will eigoy *the show,” Mr. Smith promised.

Herb Guild sets first meeting The Goose Greek Herb Guild announces its first meeting for 1987 to be held at the Middleburg Community Center Thursday, March 19, at 10 a.m. Suzanne Miller, speaker from the Washington Cathedral, will show slides and discuss what a ninth century herbal garden really included. The Hortulus or “Little Garden” at the Cathedral has been redesigned according to research of the Carolinian period (742-814 A.D.) and the Carolingian period (751-987 A.D.) Ms. Miller spent months identifying the true herbs that scented medieval gardens of that period. Once the research was done Cathedral horticulturists planted the herbal beds around a baptismal font used in France around 835 A.D. Members of the Herb Guild will have a chance to see the “Hortulus” and other gardens at the Washington Cathedral when a field trip is taken later in the summer.

Harrisonburg, Roanoke and Warrenton now offer the service. Previously, only the Norfolk and Richmond areas provided grading for grain. VDACS’ trained marketing personnel are now licensed and officially recognized as samplers by the US DA’s Federal Grain Inspection Service. Because the samplers have other *; primary duties, sufficient notice must be given when requesting a v sample from the new service. Charges are based on the sam- *■ pier’s time involved and distance travelled and will also include an es- r tablished grading fee plus mailing C; costs to send the sample to the Norfolk laboratory. “■ Charges are generally $12.50 per hour and 21 cents per mile, plus ~' grading fees of $12.95 for a rail car and $7.05 for a truck. If the dealer - /producer travels and submits the - sample, the fee is $5.80. ; Anyone interested in obtaining t an official sample of grain for grad- ; ing should contact one of the follow- » ing offices: Harrisonburg, 703-487- - 1285; Norfolk, 804-461-7050; Rich- • mond, 804-786-1983; Roanoke, 703676-7344; or Warrenton, 703-466- ! 4388. r For more information, contact J. P. Welch, VDACS’ Grain Marketing Services Office, at (804) 786-1983.

IN MEMORY OF my husband and our daddy, James Woodson Leake, who passed away one year ago, March 14,1986. Dear we stood by you as long as there was breath, But God needed you and He knew best so He called you home to rest, Silent thoughts brings many a tear for the one we miss and love so dear, Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can fill your vacant place. Memories are gifts of God that death cannot take away. Sadly missed by: Wife, children and grandchildren In loving memory of my mother, Dorothy L. Poehler, who passed away 12 years ago, March 1, 1975. You are gone, but not forgotten. Forget you? No, I never will, J loved you then, I love you still. Your memory is so fresh today as in the hour you passed away. You fought life's battles bravely and patiently stood every test. You never will be forgotten and when I sit and think of you, How sweet the memory still, Your death has left a lonliness This world can never fill. The sock was hard, the pain severe, We never thought your death so near, Though you sleep in a silent grave, I still grieve and long for you, For my heart is broken, Though you are gone beyond my reach, You are always in my heart, . And I know someday, we will be together, And not apart. Your son, Jerry Mother, Sister and Brother AIRLINE JOBS. $17,747 to $63,459 year. Now hiring! Call Job Line 1-518-459-3535, ext.

Stuart Field (Continued from Page 3) of posts. Who made the first offer is lost to the present history. Perhaps it was Commander “Pete” Peterson, or maybe Charlie Priest, but suffice it to note that as interest mounted so did the quantity of posts, which were donated by Jerry Curtis, Gilbert Lawrence, Charlie Mills, Frank McWhirt, John Kiley, B. Settle and Harvey Poe. Posts are the backbone of a fence. Good locust posts properly set will last ad infinitum, plus 60 years. Fancy suggests that when the present generation of Little Leaguers has grown to manhood thay may reflect upon the materials and quality of that fence and wonder about those Ruritans who built it, way back when. It may have been at this same kick-off meeting that an interesting show of teamwork was arranged. Instead of a donation of posts, Roy Mills offered to donate trees. However, reduced physical activity would not permit him to fell the trees. At this point two more volunteers joined the team. Nelson Burner and George Kidwell agreed to cut the trees. Mr. Mills donated the trees, Mr. Burner and Mr. Kidwell sawed them down and B. Settle snaked the trees out of the woods and carted them to the sawmill, where Henry Diggs provided another community service, sawing the logs into posts and 16-foot long fencing boards, gratis. The dogwood was about to bloom when the club mobilized en masse for work at the Ruritan-Stuart Field one early spring Saturday in 1985. Posts, lumber and work crew were ready to go. Even before the whistle blew Ruritan member Frank McWhirt was on the job, digging holes with his tractor-driven posthole digger. To dig a hole by hand was a laborious, half-hour job. Drop the posthole digger on the marking pin and it was done in a matter of seconds. Posts were set and packed by teams of two drawn together by friendship or kinship; musclemen and others less robust working in pairs. Following the post setting teams were carpenters, nailing the 16-foot boards in place. To create a more stable fence, the ends were staggered so as not to butt more than one rail per post. For some, it was “on the job” training, for others merely a refresher course. One Saturday, Ellis Bingham pushed the production ahead with a triple-man work day. With the promise of his wife Joanne’s good home cooking as a reward, he persuaded two friends from Fairfax to join the crew. Thus, the entire project proceeded with the united effort of dedicated individuals. The shining key to the RuritanStuart Field success story is this great American tradition of pitching-in-when-needed. It is indeed a Expansion (Continued from Page 1) noted. Facing that time limit and a request from the Board of Supervisors for their proposed 1987-88 budget by March 27, the School Board members set a special meeting - the fourth in this month - for Friday, March 20, at 7:30 p.m. in the central office. Chairman Beverly Massie asked that board members give the superintendent their suggestions on alternative design changes so the options can be forwarded to the architects for “costing out” in time for the special meeting. “This is just a list,” said Mr. Estabrook, rattling the architect’s catalog in his raised hand. “The board can look at any aspect of the project itdesires.” ABC (Continued from Page 1) ing a motion to that effect. “I say kill it now!” countered Mr. Henry. There was no response to Mr. Lane’s motion. “It dies for lack of a second,” the Jackson District representative noted. “I hate to put this all on Hubie (Chairman Gilkey, the representative from Wakefield District), but it’s basically a situation of how the people of Wakefield District feel about this,” said Supervisor Charles Estes. With no public announcement of Dr. Krebser’s proposal, there's been no opportunity yet for Wakefield residents to respond, the board’s chairman pointed out. “Well, now it will be in the paper,” noted Mr. Miller, seconding the motion to table. By unanimous vote, the ABC store proposal was carried over to the supervisors’ April meeting. remarkable illustration. Spot decisions at times called for special talents. The summer months saw the eight-foot fence sections steadily advancing around the field’s perimeter. The contour of the land sometimes required adjustments beyond the aid of a level or a surveyor’s transom. B. Settle, a Ruritan and Amissville landowner for many years, has a master’s degree in home fencing. As he adjusted the fence to conform to the lay of the land, the club was treated to a demonstration of a talent known as “eyeballing the fence.” Since the scope of the project was unprecedented, little emergencies called for quick thinking and resourcefulness. Halfway through one Saturday morning, the crew ran out of posts. Timing their arrival perfectly, Gilbert Lawrence and his son C. G. showed up with their new platform saw. Tractor-driven, with multiple adjustments, this versatile piece of equipment could saw a variety of lumber sizes. With logs readily available, the post order was quickly filled. While powered machinery lent valuable assistance, it was still mainly back-bending and muscleflexing which created the fence. Even as the first sections were completed, the work looked not only professional but also picturesque as Sim Hutton led the crew of painters into the fray. Many a Saturday saw Siin alone with his own brushes and five-gallon bucket, glossing the rails with his own professional style. The entire endeavor required the effort and sacrifice of every member of the Ruritan Club, and each member deserves the satisfaction of a job well done. If any one member deserves the title of Master Fence Builder, it is Bill Barney. Saturday after Saturday saw him on the job early, staying on for the entire day. There are other ways, some perhaps faster and cheaper, to build a fence, but there is a distinction about that quarter mile of glistening white which properly frames the generous gift of Captain and Mrs. Stuart. Even before the last nail was driven a bronze plaque in honor of Capt. Stuart was placed on a foundation laid by Louis (Butch) Zindel, and framed in mortar and brick laid by Mr. Hines, Jerry Curtis’ fatherin-law. V" 1 • The memorial, and the field, was formally dedicated July 5,1986, with Ruritan Club members and many friends in attendance. Guests of honor included Mrs. Stuart, Delegate George Beard, Jackson District Supervisor J. Richard Latham, Rev. Paul Franklin, Aubrey Curtis (charter member and first Amissville club president), and the club’s 1986 president, Jerry Curtis. A sign marks the entrance to Ruritan-Stuart Field on Rt. 211 in the center of Amissville. NUGGETS OF TRUTH By Rev. Robert Dunphy, Pastor, Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. TRUST IN THE LORD Psalm 37 says: “trust in the Lord, and do good, feed on His faithfullness, commit your ways to the Lord.” Proverbs 3:5 says; “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” 3:6 “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” 3:7 “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.” This is where I find most people are. Many people are hurting in mind and spirit, and when you talk to them you hear them saying, "well, I think m •» ivuiu uo uui 10 uno way ui i * that way, I don’t think you j i should spank a child, I don’t i | think you should tell people you ■ S must be bom again to go to i | heaven, let them choose the re- ! * ligion they want and on and on j c they go with what they think. i { When you see so many ] ff people broken hearted or sick ! | in the body, you want to help j I them, but most of the time they j I are too proud to receive it.

We haven’t had as far to fall (at the other end of the pay scale,” the seventh grade science teacher pointed out. “Five years ago, we ranked 105th in maximum salary and now we’re 129th,” she said, urging the board to up the pay for veterans. A teacher with 16 years experience makes less in Rappahannock than a beginning teacher in a larger school system, Mrs. Baines reported. “That’s a frustrating and demoralizing comparison.” Expressing disappointment over the superintendent’s rejection of the RCEA proposal for a 13 percent pay increase, she offered the board members a revised salary scale that applies a 10 percent raise to the base and adjusts the higher steps for experienced teachers. High school math teacher Helen LaClava urged the board to “consider other than the absolute minimum” to qualify for the state’s incentive aid. She challenged the superintendent’s contention that his proposed salary schedule gives a 10 percent increase to base pay. “Without a calculator, I can tell you what 10 percent of $14,912 is and I resent reading 10 percent over there (in the column for percentage increase from the current year). If you can’t bring yourself to add just a few more dollars, then write 9.69 percent on that line!” The math teacher also pointed out that teachers with 16-17 years experience will not get a 12 percent increase, as alleged in the superintendent’s proposal, but only a 9.6 percent raise. "I think a piece of paper that gives the wrong impression should be corrected.” Mrs. LaClava called the addition of bonuses “a nervous procedure... a little carrot dangling in front of people” and maintained that it would be “more honest and more respectful” to pay for experience “in a contractual way.” Mr. Estabrook explained that an average pay increase of “10 percent across the scale” is one of five options that qualifies a school division to receive the state’s incentive aid. “That’s the interpretation we’re working from . . . I’m not trying to say we have 10 percent increases at each and every step” of the proposed salary scale. High school secretary Linda Gray asked why the central office’s secretary and bookkeeper are both proposed to get 14 percent pay increases while secretaries and bookkeepers at the two schools are to receive substantially less. “That is a judgement call on my part” taken in recognition of “differing levels of responsibility,” Mr. Estabrook replied. “It’s not a comment on competence and certainly not a comment on the personalities involved.” Racial (Continued from Page 1) would provoke no reaction under normal conditions might this time result in an outburst, Mr. Estabrook explained, acknowledging that his postponement of the dance was a reaction to a “worst case scenario.” But he maintained that over-reaction must be risked where the safety of children is involved, adding that elementary students would have also attended the dance troupe’s performance last Friday at the high school. John Toth, RCHS assistant principal who normally handles discipline matters, said last week that no penalties were imposed on any of the students involved in the name-calling incident. “It’s the time of the year - the end of winter doldrums. People are going to have misunderstandings,” Mr. Toth said, adding that the students in this case just happened to be black and white. The incident was not racially motivated, he mainIWHY WAIT...

They’re as good or better than you’re going to find anywhere. “Sometimes, if you look hard enough and long enough for something, you’re going to think you’ve found it,” Mr. Toth continued, at the same time acknowledging the right of any patron to “ask questions” about any aspect of school operations. “But sometimes, by looking, you might even create something,” he cautioned. Mr. Estabrook said on Monday that his investigation into the “sensitive subject” of possible racial problems at RCHS is continuing; as of Monday, no new date had been set for another appearance here by the dance troupe. In the open session of Tuesday’s School Board meeting, there was no discussion of the postponement or of Mr. Estabrook’s reasons for taking that step.

High school principal Robert Chappell supported his secretary’s petition. “She’s the principal at times . . . She’s taken care of every single thing that comes down the pike,” he said, explaining that Ms. Gray must often deal with situations when he and assistant principal John Toth are busy in another part of the building. He asked the board members to “do the best you can” for custodians and other classified staff and to give career teachers higher raises. “Those who stick with us for 10, 20 years are falling significantly behind” their counterparts in other school divisions, the RCHS principal said. “I’m dead set against any type of bonus,” said RCHS shop teacher Ron Vickers. He maintained that this type of compensation is “more political... not something I can look forward to down the road in my career in Rappahannock County.” Speaking as a classroom teacher, Mrs. Baines questioned the equal allocation for instructional supplies at the two schools when the elementary school has far more students. Mr. Estabrook recalled that the elementary school was alloted more than RCHS when he first took the job here as superintendent. “My position has been to bring the high school up to at least equity. Undoubtedly, there’s room for more, primarily at the high school.” Mrs. Baines noted that the line item for instructional supplies is essentially the same as that allocated for the current year, with the only increase coming from the addition of materials for Chapter I programs which must be picked up by the locality in the face of declining federal support. “But instructional supplies have increased in price every year. Quantity wise, we’re ordering less and less every year. It’s a frustrating experience to feel yourself going backwards,” the seventh grade science teacher said.

It’s important to recognize, particularly with our best teachers, that we live in a competitive society.” In response to a question from Holly May, Mr. Estabrook said that special services coordinator Pam Rowe is to receive the same $3,515 pay increase he has suggested for all administrative personnel. Ms. Rowe’s raise appears higher, he explained, because 90 percent of her compensation as Chapter I supervisor comes in the regular budget and 10 percent from federal sources covered in the “flow through” budget addendum, a change from the 80-20 local-federal split of the current year. Mrs. LaClava criticized the omission of revenue projections. With an estimate on state and federal contributions to Rappahannock’s school budget, expenditures could be measured against their impact on the county’s tax rate, she said. “We don’t know what our revenue is going to be until the General Assembly acts,” Mr. Estabrook said. With the session ending two weeks ago, the central office “received a printout from Richmond yesterday and we’re still scrutinizing that.” he added. To questions from The Rappahannock News, the superintendent said that approximately 40 percent of this year’s educational expenditures were covered by state revenue and five percent by federal contributions. For 1987-88, “the state’s percentage is going up and the federal percentage is going down - considerably ... The differences won’t balance. We expect a significant loss,” he concluded.
