Rappahannock News, March 7, 1974

~ * 9 Rappahannock draws 68 entries BY JUNE RUHSAM THE RACING at Rappahannock Hunt’s point-topoint last Saturday was excellent, as 68 thoroughbreds competed fiercely over the difficult mountainside courses at Thornton Hill Farm near Sperryville. Three finishes were so close that spectators weren’t sure of the results until the official announcements. Witold Kuncewicz’s In the Know, who has never been defeated in a point-to-point, won the amateur hurdle race by a head, Randolph Rouse’s Quashed was the victor by a nose in the owner-rider timber contest, and Sally Strawbridge’s Stretch II took the second division of open hurdle race by a neck. Probably the biggest upset of the day w&s the winning of the Mary D. Slaughter Memorial, the open timber race, by an unknown (outside of the Rappahannock Hunt territory) team of Michael Brown on Miss Cherry. It was the first time the 17-year-old foxhunting rider had ever raced over fences, and it was the first time for the brown mare too, who is owned by Hunter’s Retreat, the Elzy Brown Farm of nearby Boston. They defeated William Taggart’s Flying Box Car, ridden by Bruce Fenwick, and Bella Vista Farm’s Bookbinder, with Gilmore Flautt up, who were second and third. Fourth was another new local horse in her first outing, Rose- Rhythm, a big gray mare owned by Edward Stephenson and trained by Mrs. John Hopewell. The race began with Rappahannock’s Billy Dodson getting off quickly and opening a big lead over the first five fences. But the pace was too fast, and Satin Cheeks fell at the sixth, where Dr. Joe Rogers on a new horse, Negmeddin, took over. But he, too,, came to grief later at the ninth fence. ANOTHER Rappahannock Hunt winner was In the. Know, Witold Kuncewicz’s consistent and gallant brown mare, who took home the trophy for the Durant Hill hurdle race, thus winning the second in the new First Colony series, having won last weeks amateur hurdle event at Casanova. It was a close contest all the way. Five horses went over the first hurdle together, then In the Know went to the front with China Bowl, Kool Kake and Ask the Price hot on her heels. China Bowl and In the Know jumped head and head over the final hurdle. It was a flying finish with In the Know, wellridden by Bob Witham, a head over Gil Flautt on rhl!*? p«w) KVyr*! Kake, owned and ridden by young Kevin Palmer, was third, and Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Ask the Price, Jonathan Ruhsam up, was fourth. THE BEN VENUE, owner-rider race, with points toward the Seven Corners trophy had thousands of enthusiastic spectators again cheering on their favorites in another close race. Randolph Rouse, four times winner of this race, and Ernest Oare, last year’s winner, were again competing on the horses See Page 8 Miss Cherry, Oliver Brown up, clears a fence in the Mary D. Slaughter Memorial Hurdle Race at last Saturday’s Rappahannock Point-to-Point. It was the first race for both Brown and his mount, and they won. (Marshall Hawkins photo) Highway planning process questioned A “TALLY SHEET” had been proposed by Rappahannock Supervisor Pete Luke “to keep track of just how often the Highway Department listens to us.” Luke made his comment last Thursday at a Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission meeting in Culpeper. His remark brought nods of agreement from Fauquier representatives on the Commission. Referring to what Luke called “a number of editorials in the Piedmont Virginian,” he said, “I have this gut feeling that the Highway Department is just going through the motions on this environmental impact stuff.” (It’s the same point the Virginian made.) “They just seem to do what they want to anyhow,” said Luke. “We should just keep track of who wins and who loses, so we cqn take it to the legislature.” The more or less tacit agreement by the Commission to Luke’s suggestion represents the first official notice by a local or regional board or commission to an issue that has irked a considerable amount ot people about the Highway De partment’s environmental impact studies. IN THE past year the Highway Department “has been going through the motions,” Luke said, “to take the highway plans bact to the grass roots. “And a big thing is made of it, too. Hearings are held, studies are made and commissions and boards are asked to comment. But when the smoke of public accountability clears, the Highway Department does what it would have done in the beginning, anyhow.” The Highway Department’s Environmental Impact Statement on 1-66 between Gainesville and Front Royal includes assurances that what local governments want will be respected. But when the Highway Commission approved the inner belt-way portion of 1-66, in the wake of objection from Fairfax and Arlington counties, a regional transportation cohunission and four federal agencies, Highway Commissioner Douglass Fugate said: “If we would have re sponded to the political whims in each county, the interstate system would never have been built.” PLANNING District Executive Director Arthur Warren was not as skeptical as Luke and John B. Adams at Thursday’s meeting. “Work through the system” Warren advised, saying something about how everyone should be grateful the state lets localities, through regional planning, respond to proposed projects. Luke was unconvinced, and went on to discribe how the Highway Department would divide a construction project “into bite size pieces a few miles long,” leaving gaps here and there. Then the completed sections would act as a “fulcrum” for the approval of the rest, said Luke. WARRENTON Town Manager Ed Brower agreed, commenting about the number of “gaps” in the Highway’s plans for four-laning Route 17, although, he said, “the state told us the schedule.” See Page 19

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Planning delusions FROM CULPEPER TO RESTON, from Berryville to Gainesville, from the Rappahannock to the Potomac, various public officials and members of the public were heard last week lamenting something which also caused us distress—the realization that basic land use planning decisions are being taken out of local hands. Much has been said and written about the various “growth control” measures enacted by various progressive local governments in the past few years—from Loudoun’s “Article 12” to Fauquier’s Capital Improvements Program,” and various master plans and zoning amendments in between —but the fact remains that the most important land use planning decisions are already being made at the regional and state level in Virginia. The two most influential land use decisions, of course, are those involving sewer systems and highways. All the rest of the planning and zoning apparatus is as nothing compared to the effect of sewer systems and highways. Thus, Loudoun county is being confronted with some regional sewer schemes that would make a mockery of the county’s official goal of maintaining and enhancing a rural environment. The same goes for grandiose highway projects concocted by the state’s engineers, which would slash through now rural sections of both Loudoun and Fauquier. CONSTRUCT ALL THE ELABORATE “Article 12s” and “CIPs” you want, but they can be nullified overnight as soon as a superhighway is opened up, or a sewer system laid down. And the highway engineers can talk all they want about improving safety, and the sanitary engineers can lecture all they want about eliminating pollution —what they’re really doing is stimulating growth, and sometimes where local governments say they don’t want growth. All the brave talk about good planning, good design, “affordability” and such is entertaining, even occasionally enlightening. It sure has provided the basis for a lot of conferences, forums, roundtables and television and radio programs. But it’s been just talk. The real action is with the sewer and highway boys.D Trout stocking is under way NEARLY one - half million trout are being stocked in Virginia waters in preparation for the opening of trout season at noon on April 6, according to Jack Hoffman, Chief of the Game Commission’s Fish Division. Also being stocked are the Pay-AsYou-Go areas at Douthat Lake and Clinch Mountain. These waters are stocked with trout in quantities based on the fishing pressure applied by participating anglers. “Anaddition al 29,000 brook, rainbow, and brown trout will be released during the re-stocking operations planned for May,” Hoffman said. Piney Brance will be the only stream stocked in Rappahannock County. In Page County Hawksbill Creek, Cub Run, Pitt Spring Run and Upper Passage Creek will be stocked. Garth Run, Hughes River, Robinson River and Rose River will receive trout while Gooney Run in Warren County will be stocked. □ Barns The barn pictured last week belonging to W. T. Wayland east of Sperryville was identified by one reader, John Clark Jr. of Washington who will receive the gift subscription. Here is another. Youth Center meeting ELECTION of officers to guide the formation of the proposed Youth Center will be the main item of business at an organizational meeting of the Rappahannock County Recreation Center Association at 8 p.m. on Monday, March 18, in the auditorium of the elementary school. Granville Eastham, temporary chairman of the association, said the meeting will also seek to activate several committees, including an organization and executive committee, plus several specialized groups to deal with certain specific aspects of the development of the Youth Centersuch as fund raising, site selection and improvement, facility and planning, programs and counseling, and publicity and public relations. Another committee would compile a listing of all existing recreation facilities in the county for use in determing what new or additional activities are most needed in the new center. Student committees are MEN’S DAY Sunday, March. 10, Men’s Day will be observed in the Slate Mills Baptist Church. Breakfast will be at 7 o’clock followed by Sunday School at 10 o’clock with Norman Wilbur, Director. Worship services will be at 11 o’clock with the men participating in the services and the sermon “Sharing Christ Through His World” by the pastor. □ also being organized to deal with the same general problem areas,underthe guidance of Julian Brown, student coordinator. The chairman of each student will automatically serve as a member of the corresponding association committee. EASTHAM said “it behooves all residents interested in helping shape the future Youth Center to at tend the meeting on the 18th.” In response to a recent article in the Rappahannock News, checks have already been received to help finance the Youth Center.

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X REPORT ON THE LEGISLATURE BY DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. DURING the last week of the 1974 General Assembly a number of controversial issues will be decided one way or another—revisions to the Blue Laws, pari-mutuel betting, and Capitol expansion. The Senate bill requiring that all beer and soft drink cans and bottles carry a deposit has been de feated in the Senate and referred to a study commission and the bill will probably be taken up again in the 1975 session. The House of Delegates has completed action on the budget bill and there will probably be some Senate amendments to this bill and final action on the budget will probably be taken on the last day of the session. The pari-mutuel bill came to the House of Delegates last week and in the form it was reported to the House of Delegates the bill authorized pari-mutuel betting at private race tracks under regulations and supervision of a State Racing Commission subject to the favorable vote of the people in the general election to be held November, 1974. THERE has been considerable concern, which I share, about the increased crime if pari-mutuel betting is legalized in Vir Robinson critical of budget REP. J. Kenneth Robinson said at Timberville last Saturday that “the Federal Government, as the biggest of all spenders, is a chief culprit in the continued inflationary trend.” Robinson, only Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee, added that “the best means of dealing with inflation, if one is in Congress, is to try to chop away at the budget, with the hope of saving ten million here and fifty million there.” Noting that the budget submitted by President Nixon was above 300 billion dollars for the first time in history, Robinson commented: “I don’t like the total of this budget any better than I like the total of any of the three preceding budgets with respect to which I have been called upon to vote since going to Congress.” ROBINSON spoke at a meeting of stockholders of Farmers and Merchants Bank at Plains Elementary School. “Now that the Appropriations Committee has begun its hearings on the budget, my mail relating to appropriations is picking up, and I have to state that a substantial majority of the letter complain about the stinginess of the budget, and urge me to yote for substantially higher amounts for particular programs, such as in education and public health,” Robinson said. “I AM all for the advancement of education and public health, and I am also for a prudent'national defense, for practical improvements in Social Security, for better housing, for fair treatment of our veterans and the protection of our environment.

The Virginia State Crime Commission made a study on this subject during the past year and they pointed out a number of difficulties and the necessity for the strictest possible control and they also reported that Virginia does not have a state or local law enforcement agency which is capable of policing and controlling a major race track operation. I believe that if we are to have pari-mutuel betting in Virginia the major race tracks at which the parimutuel betting is to be held should be owned and operated by the state because of the much more effective control that can be achieved in this way. This has some substantial similarities to the state operation of the Alcoholic Beverage Control system. I VOTED for the amendments which would have provided for state-owned and state-operated parimutuels and race tracks and I voted for the bill after these amendments were adopted, but most of the members who had favored pari-mutuel under private ownership and operation did not support the bill with the amendments for state ownership and state operation and thus the bill was defeated. It now appears that a Senate bill which is coming to the House of Delegates will be amended to provide for state ownership and state operation of the major race tracks where pari-mutuel betting will be allowed and a number of members who opposed the concept of state ownership and state operation have said they will now support such a bill. I have supported the legislation for state ownership and state control because I believe this will provide the best and most easily controlled operation and will minimize the opportunities for illegal activities. The proposed bill on pari-mutuel before the House of Delegates provides for a statewide referendum requiring approval of the people before pari-mutuel betting will be legalized and also provides for a local referendum requiring approval of the people in a locality in which it is proposed to locate a race track with pari-mutuel betting. Next week I shall have a further report on the activities of the 1974 General Assembly. □ on Like New Late Model Automobiles and Late Model Used Trucks-Large Stock Check our complete line of Tires and accessories.

Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. The medical insurance part of Medicare is offered automatically to people who reach 65 and are eligible for social security benefits—and to disabled workers under 65 who have been entitled to monthly social security disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more. “Nine out of 10 people eligible are enrolled in the medical insurance program,” she said. THE MEDICARE enrollment period extends through April 1 this year because March 31 falls on Sunday. The medical insurance helps pay doctor bills and other medical expenses and is the voluntary part of Medicare, funded by individual premiums and Federal general revenues. The basic premium is now $6.30 a month and will go to $6.70 a month starting July 1. People 65 and over who aren’t eligible for social security benefits can apply IN MEMORIAM IN LOVING memory of our father, WAYMOND CLARENCE DODSON, who passed away five years ago March 1, 1969: Peace will be your sleep, dear father It is sweet to breathe your name, In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same.

Board gets ordinances RAPPAHANNOCK’S amended zoning and subdivision ordinances are being forwarded from the Planning Commission to the Supervisors this week for a final review. The Planning Commission held a work session on the two documents Tuesday night, getting straight among themselves what changes had been made. A few sections need additional consideration, but the Planners decided that most of both ordinances could be retyped, incorporating the changes, so that the Supervisors could begin to study it. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis noted that he wanted to study several points a bit more, but said he would make his recommendations directly to the Supervisors. SUPERVISORS Pete Luke and Newbill Miller strongly urged the Planning Commission to send what is ready to the Supervisors. They wanted to stick to the timetable recommfnded when the ordinance was passed in September, to bring it to public hearing at the April Supervisors meeting. “Politically, we made a decision. People in my district won’t stand for much more continuous conversation on this,” Pete Luke said. “I don’t think they ought to,” Planning Chairman Herbert Barksdale said. “We realize we’re going to have to change this thing from time to time, anyway. We’ll never get it in perfect shape. Let’s senditon to the Board. ”□ Swain brothers on dean’s list TWO Rappahannock students are among 61 Randolph-Macon Academy cadets named to the school’s two honor rolls for the third six-week’s grading period.

Rappahannock From Page 1 they rode last week at Casanova. Rouse’s Quashed had defeated Oare’s Allen B. J., but Allen, who has won on the Rappahannock' course the past two years, had a good chance to even the score. The field of ten included Peter Winants, assistant editor of The Chronicle of the Horse, who not only can write about, but also can ride races. After a good start, Rouse and Oare let others set the pace, staying in the middle of the pack. Coming down the hill toward the 14th fence, Rouse let Quashed roll on past the leaders by four lengths. As they galloped up hill over the fence near the paddock, Oare pushed Allen B. J. to the second spot, with Roy Graham, the early leader, still third. Over the final three fences the order was unchanged, and it was a hard fight to the finish with Quashed by a nose, then Allen B. J., Graham’s Boca Bird third, and Harry Wight’s Canadulzal II fourth—an identical finish to, last week’s race at Casanova.

Arch Kingsley’s Madagascar, with Bob Witham up, was second. Third to these really top class horses, who have both won major hurdle stakes, was Ronald, owned, bred and trained by Richard Rector of The Plains and ridden by Jonathan Ruhsam. Ronald won the first victory of his career, the maiden hurdles, last week at Casanova. In the first division of the same race, run in six and a half seconds slower time, Randy Rouse’s erratic Bongo Mongo, who bolted through the wings last week, was the winner. Sent to the front on the second last fence by jockey Jonathan Ruhsam, he showed the way home to H. R. Heflin’s Lady’s Tune, ridden by Patrick Powers, and third Arthur Franklin’s Battle Ripple with Josephine Reuter riding, who had piloted the mare to win this race last year. Sally Strawbridge won the ladies’ race, The Mount Salem, making it two in a row. This time she rode Rend Rock to an easy ten length victory- Sara Marshall on Speedrock again set the pace. Susan Green with her Man’s Friend was second, followed by Bonnie Beach on Mistletoe Farm’s Bit of Victory and Joan Jones riding her Royal Warrior. SEVENTH race was the Mount Marshall, a gentleman’s timber race, in which the first three horses to finish were former hurdles winners making their first run over timber. Winner was Sally Strawbridge’s Pundanui, trained and brilliantly ridden by Doug Small, Jr., who makes it all look so effortless. Col.

Mail carrier retires JAMES E. ELLMORE OF AMISSVILLE transported the U. S. mail from Warrenton to Washington, Va. by way of Amissville and back again on Friday for the last time on a regular schedule. Had he continued until April 4 of this year, his service on the mail route would have encompassed 26 years. In the past year, he says he had one day off. Thursday afternoon at the Amissville office, he was given a small retirement celebration, with punch and cake served, and was presented a gift. Mr. Ellmore came to this area in 1944 and purchased a small farm near Amissville just over the line in Culpeper County. He sold this in 1951 and bought some acreage on Route 211 east of Amissville—still in Culpeper. He operated a small fruit and craft stand there on weekends, and plans to become more involved in this after retirement. He has rejected the idea of becoming a substitute carrier on the star route. He has been a dedicated worker all of his life and recalls his first employment on a farm in the Loudoun-Fairfax area with a salary of $5 a month and his board. “This was 62 years ago, right where Dulles Airport is now,” he said, “and I’ve been working hard since that time.” He assumed the duty of rearing his two sons by himself when the oldest was about 7. A few years later they lost everything they owned when their house was completely destroyed by fire. One son resides in California now, and the other lives in Falls Church. A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS CALL HIM “Jim but he is more commonly known as “Ellmore.” When greeted with “how are you?” his reply is, inevitably, “Terrible!” With this answer you can be sure he is feeling all right. He has hardly ever allowed anyone to see what is really beneath the tough exterior he projects, but he is always sharing his home with a cat and dog which he has rescued or found homeless. Mr. Ellmore is married to the former Annie Pullen of Washington and they reside in their trailer home on Route 211. Mrs. Oliver Durant, right, presents the challenge trophy for the Durant Hill hurdle race to Mr. and Mrs. Witold Kuncewicz, owners of the winner, In The Know. Oliver Durant and Robert Witham, jockey, and young Alexander Kuncewicz, look on. (Nancy Lillard photo) February traffic deaths down VIRGINIA traffic deaths for February of this year numbered only 48, or 42 less than the 90 of February, 1973, and the lowest February toll since the 36 of 1961, says Colonel H.W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess said that he was at a loss to explain why January’s 75 deaths were only two below those of January, 1973. He said that the record high for February deaths was the 103 of 1970 and the lowest the 28 of February, 1948. Traffic volumes for the entire year of 1973 were 109.3 percent above those of 1961.

‘Rappahannock hunting is different9 By PEKAY PETTUS IT WAS two days before the Rappahannock Pointto-Point and Oliver Durant II, chairman of the race committee, was busy. But he was willing to take some time out to talk a bit, about Rappahannock that is— Rappahannock races, Rappahannock hounds and Rappahannock hunting. His talk was part reminiscing, about his first foxhunt, on a mule; about Mr. By waters, “who never did ride a horse very hard”; about riding with the packs of Captain Sterling Laramie and Manly Carter when there was little wire and “hardly a place you couldn’t hop over.” But it wasn’t all nostalgia. He told of running his pack, his own pack, just last week for six and a half hours and he made it clear that tomorrow he’d be back out on the race course, polishing it, the “last touch and go” before the races. “Rappahannock hunting is different from the others,” Durant said. “You bet it is! Rough terrain. Too rough for me.” But it was never too rough to keep Oliver Durant out of the the hunting field and it still isn’t. Somewhere around 70, the former Master of the Rappahannock and the Hazelmere Hounds still joins the hunting field to gallop across Rappahannock’s rugged hills. “I WAS Master of the Rappahannock Hunt twice. First took it after Joe Johnson gave it up, years and years ago. My first cousin, Robert Mercer Menefee and. I were asked to take it ** over. I’d say back in the late twenties. “I was working in Washington then. So I could very easily act as master on Saturdays where Menefee could take over on Wednesdays. He lived up at Pied mont Farm where Mrs. Tholand now lives, on the F, T. Valley Road.” Durant was interrupted by a call from Witold Kuncewicz, another member of the Race Committee. The conversation took Durant out of his foxhunting memories into the here and now of flags, brush rollaways, stakes and a few more groundhog holes that might need stobs to warn the riders. Their talk ended with, “Things are in good shape but I’ll see you up there tomorrow to go over it.” He returned to the talk. “Wit tells me I put up all the signs backward. I told him there were arrows on both sides, but he says they’re backward. Signs for general parking that is.” “That thing isn’t on I hope,” he said, cutting his eyes at the tape recorder. He grinned, leaned over and said softly: “I’ve had to change the flags three times on the pair race course. I made a mistake.” He shook his head, amused at his fumbling the flags out on the course. Then he returned to his story. “IT S BEEN more than ten years since I rode in a point - to- point myself. Used to ride in ’em though. Potomac, Redland, Rappahannock, Piedmont...Go 'lack so many years it’s hard to tell. Then I began to get heavy and I didn’t have the proper horses. “The best little horse I ever had, for a point-topoint horse race, was a little chestnut horse named Red Sailor that won so mapy races for me. He won the Ladies Race at the Piedmont. Robin Redding Hunt rode him for me at that race. He fell at the sixteenth fence. I ran down and caught him. And she remounted and went on and won that race. “Most of this, a lot of it, •Red Sailor won for me,” he said, gesturing towards the sterling cups and plates on tables and shelves and a desk and the mantel. “Red Sailor. A fine little horse. A Kentucky-bred horse. I used to foxhunt him a lot, when I was master.” “GETTING back to the mastership. After Menefee and I gave it up, Arthur Miller and I took the Rappahannock Hunt over. Miller lives in Washington, Virginia, and has a farm out on the Rush River. Mt. Prospect farm.” His monologue is interrupted again; Willoughby comes to the door. Willoughby has “been with” Oliver Durant for eight years, as his right-hand man in running “The Hill.” “I just came to tell you we got everything ready,” he tells Durant. “What you say?” the older man asked, twisting around in his deep chair to look at him talk. “I just wanna tell you, we got everything ready for you.” Durant nods, “O.K.”,and picks up the story. “Then later Miller and I gave it up and Jim Bill Fletcher took over the Rappahannock Hunt and organized a real Hunt Club. It wasn’t recongized until Jim Bill took it over. He and Jack DeBergh became joint masters.” Durant notes a picture, a huge colored photograph of himself riding alongside the joint masters as the field sets out. That picture is one of the familiar Marshall Hawkins hunting scene colored photographs. “That’s opening meet at Stonehaven. There every year. Last of October, first of November, Mr. and Mrs. George Muth’s farm.” “The Hunt has gone on successfully ever since they took it over. Then they decided they’d like to have point-to-point races. The first races were held over at Lee and Eleanor Greenway’s farm. That was “Come here, Brown Eyes. Here Sporty; hey Tramp.’ hounds in his “outlaw pack.’’ The former master of mere Hounds had kept a pack of his own since he was ’ Oliver Durant H calls to the the Rappahannock and Hazel Oliver Durant as a race official last Saturday. near Washington, Virginia, called...well, it was always known as Greenway farm... called Blue Rock. They named it after a stallion they had, Blue Rocket.” “THEY HELD those races there for about three years. I patroled there, for their races, and I also ran some horses. But I didn’t ride; had someone else ride for me. “Then we changed from there down to Thornton Hill, Jim Bill Fletcher’s farm, which, when we first saw it, we thought it would be a terrible, a tremendous, terrible course, because of the terrain. But all the riders who have ever ridden in the Rappahannock point - to- point claim that it’s a marvelous course to race on.” “There are,” he paused, “up and down hills. We do have safe jumps for them. “We started off with junior races, flat races. Then we went to pair races, with eight or nine fences, in full view of all the spectators. They all loved it, a distance of about two miles, which is usually run in five or six minutes...” “THEN WE decided two years age we’d have hurdle races, coinciding with the timber races. And the first year we had to split it... “Emily, my wife, and I decided last year that we would give a perpetual trophy for the Durant Hill race. This year the point to-point association has started a point race for hurdles, similar to the timber races of the Seven Corners. The First Colony trophy. This is causing a lot of interest. Just as many horses over hurdles these days as over timber. “Then we have the hound race. Years ago, Casanova used to have a hound race, but they stopped so Rappahannock followed in their steps. No Hunt Clubs are allowed, just the local farmers enter their good huntin’ dogs. “We have about 70 entered this year. You watch] Some will leave the drag off after a wild fox, or a deer, maybe. And they stay gone a day or two. Farmers have to climb the mountain back of the course, looking for those dogs... “A bunch of us in the club laid the course out. Fletcher, DeBergh, Kuncewicz, Fannon, myself. I’ve been chairman for five years. It’s about time for me to give it up, I know. The time is coming when I can’t do it. Some of these younger men will take it. I’ve served my apprenticeship... “It’s a gathering where people can come in open shirts, the Rappahannock point - to - point. It’s a friendly race meet.” “THE RAPPAHANNOCK Hunt is a very different, cordial meet. We have forSee Page 13 *7 "t 07 A

Saturday is the main formal day and everyone has' such a good time they come back on Sunday, to hunt at either eleven or one, dressed ratcatcher or any other way they wish to dress. But that is the attitude of the Rappahannock Hunt Club. “And everybody seems to just ask their friends, come on, let’s go with Rappahannock to hunt. It’s relaxed. But that’s the attitude at Rappahannock. It’s go as you please, but you’ve got to show a little etiquette. Need that for safety. “After I gave up the mastership of Rappahannock Hunt, Mrs. Alice Marsh— she is the mother of Michael Marsh—she had this big form of 800 acres across the river. Michael loved to foxhunt. And I had my acres, my 600 over here. Both of us loved to hunt and we decided to form a hunt club of our own.” REMEMBER! APRIL 18 (State Graded) (State Weighed) FEEDER CALFYEARLING SALE MARSHALL FEEDER CATTLE ASSOCIATION John Rucker Sale Manager at FAUQUIER LIVESTOCR EX. Marshall, Va. “SO WE rented territory from the Rappahannock Hunt territory, rented or leased, mostly leased, and named it the Hazelmere Hunt. We had a nice club going there, the Hazelmere Hounds. “Michael kept his hounds over on his place and I kept my hounds on my place. I furnished the huntsman and he furnished the whips and we worked the hounds together. They worked beautifully together® a fine pack, 15 and 18 couples. “We charged no fee. Michael and I carried the whole hunt. It got very popular and we had quite a large following. We would never hunt on days when we would interfere with the Rappahannock Hunt and we never hunted in the same territory, of course. “We did this for five or six years, until we dispersed, about 12 years ago, and turned our territory back over to the Rappahannock Hunt. They still work it.” TO BE CONTINUED ed Shawnee Nursing Home in Winchester Monday. Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Keyser, Jr. and sons Scott, Joe and Frank were supper guests Saturday of Mrs. H.M.

Highway planning process is questioned From Page 1 Luke also didn’t like the way the Highway Department tosses vehicle count projections around as the reason for building more roads. “They based their estimates on Sperryville during the middle of tourist season,” he noted. “I’d like to see what kind of criteria they use for those projection,” commented Fauquier Planning Engineer Dick McNear. “Yeah, they projected Rappahannock County would double in size,” added Luke, “and it’s lost population.” Brower agreed. “Fauquier’s Master Plan population projections have already proven too high.” AFTER THE discussion, Planning District Chairman McNear called the Commissioners’ attention to the Highway Department’s1 environmental inventory questions for four-laning Route 17 between Warrenton and Old Tavern. “Has there been any organized opposition?” “Yes,” replied John B. Adams, re1 have the gut feeling that the Highway Department is just going through the motions on this environmental impact stuff.' ■■ Pete Luke. -------Vferring to a petition being circulated by Fauquier residents against the proj ect, requesting instead a “scenic highway” status for the road. “Does it disrupt a community or its planned development?” “Not that we know of,” said Adams and McNear, shaking their heads. “Is it consistent with community goals, such as proposed land use?” “Our Plan calls for it,” answered McNear. “Is it compatible with your regional planning?” “No regional plan,” answered McNear, and that was that. No public hearing has been called yet for Route 17, although one has been promised. A hearing on 1-66 through Fauquier was also promised by the Highway Department, and now they say it’s not necessary.—Mark Helmke 1 LAWRENCE A DISHNER CONSTRUCTION • STABLES •BARNS •SHEDS •ADDITIONS AND REMODELING References if desired Call Scott Lawrence (347-7311) HOUSE of DRIED FLOWERS US Route 211 Sperryville, Va.
