Wade Roberts officiating. Burial Will be in El Dorado Springs Cemeteiy. Mrs.

After officials learned that the suspect animals had been moved to an Oklahoma farm, they started an investigation. Moody said it was learned that a herdsman at the Sedalia farm had taken the blood samples from his own horse and not the animals in question.

Testing then showed the horses in question were free of the disease. Rainey, who concurred with Moody's account of the incident, said Thursday it was a mistake to allow his Sedalia client to collect the blood samples. "I usually go up there monthly, but 1 couldn't make it that time," he said. "So I told him to take the samples and send them down here. He delegated it to a hired hand who took them from his own horse." Moody said if the hired hand had taken the blood samples as instructed, Rainey's violation never would have been discovered.

Rainey, whose practice largely involves horses, said the suspension from doing government-authorized disease-control work will have little effect on him. "I don't do cows," he said referring to disease-control programs involving cattle, a major part of federal animal-health regulations. However, Rainey said the penalty troubles him because it involves a test of questionable reliability that has been repealed in many other states around the nation. "It bothers me a little because the test has been dropped by about half the states," Rainey said. "It does not test for the clinical disease, only antibodies.

In early years, it was recommended that animals testing postive be put to sleep. We destroyed more animals that way than what the disease killed." By Mike Schilling' The Daily News Springfield veterinarian Thomas Rainey has been disciplined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for violating federal animal-health regulations, department officials said. Rainey's accreditation to perform official services in connection with cooperative state and federal animal-health programs has been suspended until July 1, officials said. However, the action does not affect his license to practice wterinary medicine.

Robert Moody, a veterinarian who heads the USDA's Animal Health and Plant Inspection Service in Missouri, said the penalty was imposed after Rainey admitted signing papers that indicated he had personally obtained blood samples for a horse-disease test when in fact the samples were taken by another person. Moody said standards pertaining to federal disease-control programs require accredited veterinarians to draw blood samples personally and prepare them for testing. Referring to Raineys professional tation, Moody said; "He is a good man. He just goofed up." Moody said the action against Rainey stemmed from the testing of a group of six quarter horses on a farm near Sedalia for(a disease known as equine infections anemia, an affliction commonly referreJTto' as swamp fever. Moody said the owner of the horses asked Rainey to take the samples, but the veterinarian granted permission for the samples to be taken at the farm and sent to a Springfield laboratory.

When the tests indicated the horses had the disease, federal animal-health officials were alerted because infected animals are supposed to be banned from any move Arthur Patton WAYNESVTLLE Services for Arthur Lawrence Pat-ton, 61, Route 1, Waynesville, will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Deerlick Baptist Church here with Harvey Dye officiating.

Thursday at Menorah Medical Center in Kansas City Federal jobs bill will fund work near Stockton Dam By Kevin Madden The Daily News A cutoffthannel and bridge will be built downstream from Stockton Dam with part of the $5.5 million the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will receive in Missouri as a result of the new federal jobs bill, corps spokesmen in Kansas City said. The corps will use $1 million it will receive through the jobs bill to let bids on the project, said Don Fritz, assistant chief of the corps' engineering division. The corps plans to reroute the Sac River downstream from the dam by building a channel that would bypass a loop in the river, said John Elmorecorps chief of operations in Kansas City. The corps also plans to build a bridge across the channel.

In addition, the corps will'spend about $455,000 of the jobs-bill funds to update existing recreational facilities and improve some roadways around Stockton Dam, -jritz said. The Harry Truman Dam and Reservoir will receive $1.4 million, the largest chunk of the new corps funds in Missouri, he said. The corps will use that money along with funds already available to construct camping and other recreational facilities later this year, Fritz said. That will put the projects' a year ahead of schedule, he said. The corps will receive $300,000 for road and boundary-line work at Table Rock Lake and $35,000 for the same work at Pomme de Terre Lake, tyfsaid.

Fritz and Elmore said they did not know how many jobs the projects would create. However, Ed Greene, Washington corps spokesman, said a maximum of 40 jobs would be created for each $1 million of funding. Fewer jobs will be created if the projects consist mostly of equipment-oriented work, such as dredging, he said. Arkansas was awarded $3.97 million, including $425,000 for small flood-control projects and $3.55 million for operations. The largest amount was $1.3 million for structural work on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System.

the penalty. Board members then delayed a final decision until Thursday. State officials recommended the penal-' ties reluctantly, saying they believe the law should be repealed or revised. John Moore, assistant commissioner of education, said Wednesday's board meeting he believes the law does not accomplish its goal, which is to prevent school districts from reducing the amount of money they spend on teachers. Board members said they were sympathetic to those districts facing penalties but board President Delmar Cobble of Jackson said he didn't think they should be let off completely.

"We have the prerogative to waive all of them, but to me that would be to say to all school districts to go ahead and do what they like," he said. Board member Roseann Bentley of Springfield made the motion to reduce the proposed penalties by half. Daily record Schools Continued from Page IB sion reduces to $22,159 the fine assessed against the Ash Grove School District. State education officials had recommended it be fined $44,319. "I understand the situation," Ash Grove Superintendent B.B.

McDonald said Thursday. "We were hoping for a complete reduction, but we will have to live with it." Thursday's decision was overwhelming but not unanimous. Board member Bob Welling of Warrensburg voted against it, saying he did not want to see any of the districts penalized. Depriving schools of some of their state aid just makes it that much more difficult for them to spend as much on teachers next year as they did this year, Welling said. On Wednesday, board members had defeated a motion exempting Ash Grove from is Therapy Continued from Page IB The rider, however, is in charge of where and how fast the horse goes, she said.

"We encourage riders to do as much as they are able to do," Ms. Rafferty said. "This helps them with their physical strength and self-confidence. Here some of them can't control their own bodies, but yet they can control one of these huge animals." Many parents have said their children's attitudes toward school and other students have improved because of their horseback riding, Ms. Rafferty said.

"It's a real release it's such a spiritual thing," she said. "And it's a real social thing, too. For so many kids, it is the only type of interaction they have with others of their own age." The notion that handicapped people can ride horses has been around since the 1950s, Ms. Rafferty said. However, there were few programs to train volunteers to teach, she said.

Ms. Rafferty's idea was born in 1969 when she saw handicapped students riding horses at a summer camp. "It would be for only about 10 minutes during the camp," she said. "But each year, that is the thing they talked about the most." Thus, her program was born, she said. Nearly any handicapped person can learn Jo ride a horse, she said.

One of her students is a quadraplegic. "Volunteers help him board the horse cutt. Wichita. Pascal, Woodrow arid George North-cutt. all of the state of Oklahoma, and Joe Northcutt, Hi-wasse.

Ms. Rafferty said she has taught horseback riding to handicapped people ranging in age from 3 to 53. However, regardless of age, they must have written permission from their doctor before riding lessons begin.

After the doctor's approval, therapists evaluate students to determine their abilities, she said. "We evaluate everything range, mobility, motor coordination and the rest," she said. "We coordinate individual lesson plans with the leaders or volunteers. The leaders have to be aware of the rider's abilities." Before the rider starts, he is taught ways to help make his horse more at ease, Ms. Rafferty said.

The rider should brush the horse and talk to him, she said. "We stress care for the horse and communication between rider and horse," $he said. "They must be friends." The more severely handicapped riders require harnesses and belts so voluritefcrs can walk alongside the horse and help-them sit up, she said. "Many of them do not have the strength to sit up In the saddle," Ms. Rafferty said.

"I guess we're over cautious in protecting thern, but it's better to be that way than not cautious enough." The program has the support of both parents and doctors, she said. "They say it's wonderful," she laid. "And we're glad.".
