33ra YEAR, NO. 8 USPS 435580 . 12 Pages THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24.1983 WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA Phone 673-3349 25* Input Light For School Budget By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer With only three people present to request consideration of their interests for the 1983-84 school operating budget, the Rappahannock School Board conducted its community input session last Tuesday night. Illness prevented two of the board members from attending: Hampton representative Randall Updike and Stonewall-Hawthome member Nelson Lane. The remaining board members first heard from Rappahannock County Educational Association President Richard Smith. Smith presented RECEA’s sixpart proposal for the coming budget deliberations. The first of RCEA’s proposals, which Smith emphasized had equal priority with the association’s members, asked that' the board implement the index salary scale adopted in December with a 3.9% increase, reflecting the national cost of living rise. This increase, added to the 2% cost of teachers advancing on the scale and the 5% increase occasioned by the “buy-in” to the index salary system which corrects present inequities in the budget would result in a total increase of 11% over the present payroll or a total payroll of $974,624, Smith said. The RCEA, asked for increases in most extra duty supplements (those supplements received by teachers who coach sports or sponsor extra-curricular activities requiring substantial investments of time.) Smith based the total supplements on the number of hours devoted to the activities multiplied by the minimum wage of $3.35 per hour. The varsity basketball coaches, for example, who spend 390 hours working with their teams during a season would receive $1,310, or the amount they would make if they worked those (Continued on Page 3) The Year Of The Panthers ECSTATIC JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS and fans poured out onto the floor after Rappahannock’s win over Manassas Park on Monday night assured the Junior Panthers of a berth in the JV tournament. The game for the Bull Run crown will put the Panthers against Clarke County. Tip-off is 7 p.m. on Saturday at Warren County High School in Front Royal. Planners Take Last Look At Range Proposal The Rappahannock planning commissioners zipped through a short agenda at last Wednesday’s regular monthly meeting and adjumed to a work session to continue review of new maps prepared as part of revisions to the county’s zoning ordinance. The commissioners opened with a final look at a proposed amendment which would allow shooting ranges by special permit in an agricultural zone. Commissioner Werner Krebser recalled that after considering a 1,000 foot setback distance, the planners had endorsed 500 feet as the minimum distance from a range to an adjoining property line. In changes to the proposed amendment (which the commission had recommended to the board of supervisors for adoption), Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner added a provision allowing the board of zoning appeals to increase or decrease that 500 foot minimum, Krebser said. “They sure shouldn’t go below 500 feet. . . Undue pressure on the BZA could result in a decrease to 100 feet. That would defeat everything we’ve tried to do,” he said. In response to Krebser’s suggestion, the commissioners voted unanimously to request the supervisors to change the wording of the proposed amendment to authorize the BZA to increase, but not decrease, the 500 foot setback distance. Commissioner Newbill Miller also proposed that the amendment specify that safety and sound testing results be certified by an engineer in those fields rather than merely calling for “certified results of safety and sound testing.” “I think that’s the intent but I don’t think that’s what it says,” Miller maintained. “But I’m not an attorney,” he added. In addition, Miller and Krebser suggested that the amendment specify that fencing requirements apply only to the shooting range itself and not to the entire parcel of land on which the range is located. Chairman A.Y. Stokes reported on a letter from John Capelle, executive director of the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission, asking if the county has any work projects it wants the Planning District staff to take on in the coming year. “The zoning ordinance for the town of Washington,” replied Miller, who also serves as the town mayor. “I’ve already spoken to John about it,” he said, adding that it might help if the county planning commis sion seconded the town’s request. “Aren’t we running out of a landfill? Wouldn’t that be a perfect thing for somebody else to find?” asked Phil Irwin from the audience. “As far as studying a dump here, you’ve got to find someone willing to let you have the property, unless you’re thinking about condemnation,” Miller said. “Are you considering that?” he inquired of Charles Estes, the supervisors’ representative on the planning commission. “We’d rather not,” Estes answered. No Response The commissioners asked Zoning Administrator David Konick if he had received a reply to a letter he wrote to Wiltshire Turner Limited. A subsidiary of a Britishbased turnover company with assets of $200 million, Wiltshire Turner Ltd. had a representative before the commissioners last November to present plans for a 24lot luxury development near Flint Hill. According to his presentation, all parcels were to be 25 acres or more and the development was to include tennis courts, swimming pool, stables for 60 (Continued on Page 4) Old Soldiers Remembered Some may die, some may fade away, but many are remembered in this week’s special sesquicentennial feature on old soldiers, pages six and seven inside.

School Board Releases Report By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last Tuesday, School Superintendent Robert Estabrook released the architectural program and budget cost analysis prepared by a Richmond architectural firm on the combination bus shop/school board office. The document and a revised version were initially sought by the Rappahannock News last August. When the school board refused to release the reports, the newspaper filed a formal complaint with Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, alledging violation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. Baumgardner then submitted his own request for the same documents and was also refused by school board attorney Phillip Stone, who maintained that the report and its revision were exempt from FOI requirements. Rappahannock’s commonwealth’s attorney next sought an opinion from the stae’s Attorney General on the issue in September. When the answer came, however, Baumgardner maintained that the ruling was not definitive. He noted that the Attorney General had concluded it was a fac(Continued on Page 4) Whiteman Gives Lessons On Theatre A Washington, D.C. actor and director brought a bit of off-broadway to Rappahannock last Sunday. Under the sponsorship of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, Bart Whiteman, founder of Source Theatre, led an afternoonlong theatrical workshop at the Gay Street Theater. The participants ranged from high school kids whose only stage experience has come on the stage of RCHS to veterans of the Rappahannock Players, Don Bomberger, the driving force behind the acclaimed annual productions at the high school, and local playwrite Carla Eugster. Whiteman put his 15 actors through strenuous paces. He divided them into groups of three, gave them the bare outline of a situation from a Shakespeare play and then sat back to watch what they developed from that outline. The scenarios ran from the takeover of giant automotive company to a murder committed by a mysterious snake woman with a shoe fetish. After the first go-round. (Continued on Page 2) MURDER WAS A KEY ELEMENT in the plot outlined for one of the exercises in last Sunday’s theater workshop. Led by director Bart Whiteman of Washington, D.C. s Source Theatre, the 15 participants divided into groups of three to develop a scene based on one of Shakespeare’s murders. Chip Wood was the victim, Jon McCullough the killer and Jim McCullough the third side of the triangle in one version Conferees At Odds Over Jail Funding By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Newspaper* Tot-respondent Richmond—House and Senate budget conferees remained at odds early this week on whether to include money in the state budget to help Rappahannock County pay for renovations to its jail. Sen. Edward E. Willey (D-Richmond), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and ranking ember of the Senate budget conferees, said Tuesday he would oppose efforts to include money for Rappahannock, for a project in the City of Lynchburg and for a regional jail to serve Culpeper and Madison counties. “We’re not ging to put in any capital outlay money in this session,” said Willey. The Senate budget includes $183,000 for a jail project in Glouchester County, Willey noted, but that is because it is already under construction. (Also, Glouchester is under court order to provide adequae facilities for prisoners by December, 1983, according to the House Appropriations subcommittee report). On the House side, Del. Richard M. Bagley (DHampton), chairman of the Appropriations Committee and the chief budget conferee for the House, said he would work to keep in the House budget the $81,500 in state reimbursement for Rappahannock’s jail improvements. “I think both houses will certainly try to prevail” in conference, said Bagley. The House bill includes $100,000 for construction of the Glouchester County jail, $81,500 for Rappahannock’s, $200,000 for Madison and Culpeper’s joint project and $100,000 for Lynchburg’s jail. Bagley said that the Appropriations Committee believes all four projects are needed and that state money is available to help pay for them. “We don’t put in an unbalanced budget,” he said. (Continued on Page 3) “Critical” Sewer Project Gets SWCB’s Full Support By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Monday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority may have been its shortest session on record but it was long on good news. WSA members Carson Johnson, Bob Dennis and Donald Gore received a copy of a letter written by the State Water Control Board chairman, expressing unqualified support for Sperryville’s proposed sewer system. The letter signed by Millard B. Rice, Jr. was addressed to the Department of Housing and Community Development, administrating agency for the block grant program on which funding for the sewer project depends. Pit privies and malfunctioning septic fields in the village discharge raw sewage into the Thornton River. Sperryville’8 proposed waste water treatment system is designed to clean up that pollution and the resulting contaminated wells. But with the estimated cost of the sewer project near $2 million, state and federal funding is necessary to bring monthly user fees down to a range that village residents can afford. The State Water Control Board had allocated a $1.4 million construction grant to Sperryville for fiscal year 1983, funding was deferred, however, after the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development denied Rappahannock’s application for a $478,193 block grant in December. Meeting in Richmond later that month with officials from all the involved agencies, WSA members learned that failure to secure the block grant came from a misunderstanding of semantics. Inadvertantly, the county's application for a block grant was not filed under the “imminent health threat” category, a designation that would ave added the points necessary to win the $478,193. The Rappahannock supervisors have authorized another try for block grant money in the second funding cycle which begins this spring. The letter from Rice read at Monday’s WSA meeting supports that request. In his letter to Gene Dishner of Housing and Community Development, the State Water Control Board chairman expressed concern that Sperryville’s waste water treatment project did not receive a block grant during the first round of funding. He noted that the SWCB approved FY '83 EPA grant hinds for the project, “contingent upon receipt of the local share funding from your program.” Since the money was not forthcoming, the SWCB deferred EPA funding for the project until FY '84 “in anticipation that the authority will receive second round funding.” Without any type of conventional aste water treatment system, the town of Sperryville presently has raw waste water discharges (as many as 40 identified by the Health Department) emptying into the Thornton River, Rice noted. This has resulted in “degredation of state waters,” he said. “Also a State Health Department health hazard declaration exists for the area. In addition, malfunctioning or substandard septic systems and pit privities exist in the community. Needless to say, these problems further contribute to the public health concerns expressed by the Health Department, Rice said. Fifth Priority In State He reported that the SWCB continues to carry the Sperryville project on its construction priority liat as priority number five. “The ranking reflects the seriousness of the problem as compared to other communities involved in the Board’s construction grant program,” he added, noting that Sperryville’s ranking is fifth out of 177 projects in the state. Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority “requires the local share funding from your program in order for the project to be feasible and implementable,” Rice wrote to Dishner. “Please be assured that this project has the full support of this Board. Further, the Board is anxious that the project proceed in FY ’84 before federal participation drops to 55 percent (from the current 75 percent share) and the project becomes unaffordable to the residents.” Rice concluded with “1 trust this will bring to your attention the need for this critical project. Further, on behalf of the State Water Control Board, I request that you give careful consideration to all the qualifying parameters related to this project during the second round funding evaluations.” Good Points Covered “I’m really impressed. It makes all the good [joints,” said WSA secretary Bob Dennis of Rice’s letter. “It’s solid evidence that the State Water Control Board is working in Rappahannock’s behalf. We asked for their help—this gives it to us in spades.

Judge John Alexander gave Tony Edward Clatterbuck of Radiant and John Singleton of, Culpeper twelve-month sentences, suspended, to be satisfied by 32 hours community service each. (Community service is an option provided to the court in cases where a jail sentence is required.) Both men had affirmed their guilt in the theft of about two dtrfen large cement law^(!ecorations. The meft k*l Culpeper of/ fleers to a site on the Rapidan River in Orange County where they had disposed of the ornaments. A retired Navy diver, Jim Holt, of the Culpeper Sheriffs department, retrieved many of the ornaments from that location and from a Reva farm pond. The men, who had made full restitution to Parkway for the amount of the theft, had no prior criminal records and were cautioned by Alexander to be on good behavior for the year’s time. In another criminal case, an Amissville man, Charles William Butler, Jr., was convicted of possession of 15 oz. of marijuana and given a thirty-day sentence sus pended on the condition of 24 hours community service. Butler also received a $500 fine with $400 suspended and was directed to pay the remainder plus $20 cost. Robert L. Hughes of Huntly was given a 60-day suspended sentence for giving false information in order to claim unemployment benefits. Roger G. Bassett was fined $50 for trespassing to hunt on posted property. Charges against his companion, John W. Swords, were dropped when game warden Berry could not identify him as the same man found hunting on posted property at Ben Venue Farm.

It was known before they had it and still is, legally, as Hotel Lee Highway,” commented owner Loomis recently. Though he kept the name and even built the sign for it, Loomis’s hotel isn’t a hotel now but an apartment building with five residents. Through research Loomis has managed to piece together a time line of the building’s 163 year history which began in 1820 with its completion. “In the beginning, it was a private residence,” noted Loomis. “John Hopkins, the original owner, sold it in 1830, and it was sometime after that that it became a hotel. I guess more people were passing through Sperryville and business in town picked up. (At one time) it was known as the Sperryville Inn. There used to be a power lot back there by the Thornton River that generated electricity. In the 1920’s W. E. Sebert owned it. It was known as the Hotel Heisel and the place was booming.

Back then, buses were about the size of V.W. vans.” The facts and photos of the hotel that Loomis has thus far reccovered are the fruits of a yet unfinished investigation by this obsessed history buff. “There's still a deed from the mid-eighteen hundred’s that I’ve just got to find. I’ve looked everywhere, but nothing." When he isn’t off searching for lost deeds, Loomis can be found in “The Indoor Yard Sale”, the store he created in a big room off the front porch where he sells finely crafted pieces of early American furniture and woodcraft items. “When I bought this place, it was a mess, especially the downstairs and the basement,” commented Loomis. “My wife and I were looking for, income property where he could live. It was a lot of work—welding, painting, carpentry—but I been doing that stuff all my life. I used to teach classes in agriculture and shop in Warrenton.” His teaching days over, Bill Loomis enjoys his roles as shopkeeper and unofficial Sperryville town historian. One of his recent projects in the latter area includes a campaign to get Sperryville inducted into the national and state registries as an historic landmark. With Loomis on the job, it just might happen. RAAC Plans Photo Session The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community will sponsor a photography workshop on Saturday, March 12, from noon to 4:30 at Spectra School in Flint Hill. Tim Kilby, a native of Rappahannock who graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology and received a National Endowment for the Arts award, will lead Hie workshop. The theme of the afternoon session will be “seeing photographically.” Participants will explore the idea that equipment and film choices play a minor role in the success or failure of a photograph to communicate. The workshop will stress the importance of visual selection. Through slides and prints, Kilby will review the guiding principles of lighting and composition. By analyzing photographs, the participants will get a different perspective on their own photographs and those of others. The workshop is open to interested high school students and adults, photographers and nonphotographers alike. Participants should bring several prints or slides of their work, even if they work in another medium. Camera equipment will not be needed. The workshop will cost $10 for students and RAAC members, $15 for nonRAAC members. For further information or to register, contact Laurie Marshall at 825-6459 or the Middle St. Gallery at 675-3440. On Exhibit Works by Rappahannock artist Rex Morgan will be featured in a show at the West Virginia Department of Culture and History, the state museum, in Charleston. The show will include 14 pieces, both miniatures and paintings, by the West Virginia native who now resides near Slate Mills. Morgan’s exhibit will open in May and continue through September. Lessons On Theatre (Continued irom rage 1) Whiteman gave the workshoppers two minutes to rehearse and asked each group to cut its scene to a minute, 45 seconds. It was the beginning of a theatrical diet. Next, he directed that the scenes be limited to a minute, then 45 seconds, 30 seconds, and finally a bare ten, with a couple of minutes to practice between each step. The exercise demonstrated exactly what the essential elements in a script are. It made the actors use facial expressions and body language as well as dialogue to cram a message into a few precious seconds. Timing the groups with his stop watch, Whiteman intoned “15 seconds of ugly fat,” “20 seconds of ugly fat,” “three seconds of ugly fat” from his seat in a front row. He enlisted the waiting their turn workshoppers to tell their fellow actors where the ugly fat was hidden in each group’s offering, soon everyone had adopted Whiteman's buzz word. Spectators and participants clapped enthusiastically each time a trio hit the limit exactly and moaned when Whiteman’s verdict of “ugly fat” or “too lean”sounded. In a second exercise, Whiteman asked the workshoppers for lines of dialogue, giving them no hint of what he planned to do with their suggestions. They offered “You did what with my cow?”, “What a beautiful sunset,” “You won’t understand sex until you’re old and gray,” “Ouch! That hurts,” “No,” “I won’t do that until you come home for dinner,” “Those curtains are lovely but do you think they’re appropriate for the kitchen?” “I’m going for a doctor,” and “Do you have any lemon merangue pie?” There were 12 lines in all, the suggestions taken done by the unofficial secretary in each new group of three. Whiteman then directed that the lines, starting with the first given, be designated, “A, B, C” until there were four A’s, four B’s and four C’s. then the group members were tagged as A, B and. C characters and sent off to work up a script, using just the lines in sequence and relying on body language, facial expressions and on-stage action to make them more than just a string of non-sequitors. tne nrst time around, the offerings drew less than rave reviews from Whiteman. “You must motivate those lines...Make them believable,” he repeated and repeated. Incorporating his advice and criticism from the waiting and watching peers, the workshoppers began to mold their scenes into shape. The character of a senile father with lecherous intentions took form. The actors built the persons of a two-times lover. They made their lines work. And in doing so, they gained a better understanding of theater. “The workshop had lessons on acting, lessons on directing, lessons on the actual writing of a script — everything that comes together on stage,” said one tired but happy participant after four and a half hours of Bart Whiteman. “He made us think. It will be months before we realize everything we’ve learned.” Postal Route Out For Bids The Woodville contract postal route number 22764 is now open for bids.

School Budget Input Light (Continued from Page 1) hours for minimum wage. The largest increases proposed by the association would go to those coaching varsity and junior varsity sports and sponsoring dramatic productions. Presently the director of a play receives $218 per production for 237 hours of after-school work. The proposed amount per play would be $800. Other supplements remain the same: the senior class sponsor, the department and grade chairmen, the FBLA, FHA and SCA sponsors. Other RCEA proposals asked for an increase in medial coverage and an optional dental plan. Free Lunches Smith told the board that the request for the 3.9% cost of living increase for teachers takes on new meaning when teachers’ salaries are examined in the light of the school system’s own income criteria for reduced and free lunches. “One of our own teachers in his eighth year with three children would qualify for a reduced lunch,” Smith said. “A. sixteenthyear teacher with a family of four would also qualify, and if a seventh-year teacher had a family of five, his children would get free lunches.” “How many children do your teaghers have, and are they single income families?” Wakefield member Robert Eastham asked. “Do you have this information?” “Sir, we don’t think that the size of his family or whether or not a spouse works should affect a teacher’s income,” Smith replied. “We present this information only as an objective guide.” Smith told the board of his association’s support for Superintendent Robert Estabrook’s capital outlay pro EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY rjsuuc Eileen M. Day realtor FANNIE MAE II you ve ever listened in on a conversation among Realtors, builders, mortgage brokers, or bankers, you may have heard the name “Fannie Mae” mentioned. No, it’s not a pancake mix or a brand of bread. It refers to a government agency subsidized and chartered by the U.S. government. The full name of the agency is Federal National Mortgage Association and it has been in existence for close to forty years. Fannie Mae functions as a secondary mortgage market, which consists of organizations that buy mortgages from firms that originate them. Fannie Mae offers to buy FHA-insured and VAguaranteed mortgages from lending institutions that are in need of cash. This has the effect of making these types of mortgages negotiable, thus, very desirable. This is, in effect, a type of support program. Urban renewal, lowcost housing, and other kinds of FHA programs are often supported by Fannie Mae with that organization buying the mortgages at their face value. Some builders, as a matter of fact, “tailor” their building activities so that Fannie Mae will buy the mortgages.

Eastham Opposed Smith’s comments prompted the first of several angry outbursts from Eastham. “This is no place to discuss capital outlay,” Eastham said. “Mr. Eastham, the expense of costing out this project will have to be reflected in this year’s budget if we decided to do it,” Chairman Beverly Massie said. “Please proceed, Mr. Smith.” “Why not say let’s hire an architect...why not come out and say it," said Eastham, his voice rising. “We went through all this last fall...that’s not why I came here.. .this has no place here.” Charles Eldred spoke also to address the issue of the high school building program. “I’m not proposing adding the cost of new construction in next year’s budget. But I have looked over the superintendent’s ideas and find them refreshing, innovative. This is something we’ve needed for years.” “I beg you, Madame Chairman, call this man out of order,” Eastham said. “The board has dismissed this until May. We’ve discussed this ad nauseum.” “Mr. Eastham, there is a section in our budget on capital outlay,” Massie responded. “This can be addressed here.” “You are wasting your time,” said Eastham, now yelling. “Mr. Eastham, you are being rude,” said Massie. “Mr. Eldred, excuse us and please go on.” “If the board intends to move at all toward capital outlay, preparations must be made,” said Eldred. “I would like to see a figure of $21,000 included in the budget to pay that part of an architect’s fee that would include initial work on a construction and renovation program of $750,000.” “After Mosely-Henning, I don’t want to spend $21,000,” said Eastham. “I don’t care who you get, as long as it’s someone < qualified to do the job,” said Eldred. “That’s all I have to say.” Sharon Kilpatrick spoke from the audience, asking that the architect chosen by the board for the initial “costing out” be instructed to work out a more suitable space for dramatic productions at the high school. (The superintendent’s present design calls for a combination library - stage area.) Kilpatrick also asked the board to consider providing some of the funds for the seventh grade class trip. “As the mother of a seventh - grader, I know now that seventh grade means a continuous series of fund-raising events, one right after the other. Surely the kids have learned a lot from these events, but it’s getting harder and harder. This year they have raised about $5,000. I think the board could pay part of these expenses.” “Does anyone here want to speak on the operating budget,” Eastham asked. “Anyone want buses, paper, supplies?” I m sure that the majority of the board is receptive to whatever you have to say,” said Massie to the audience, concluding the community input on the school budget for next year.

Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr. (R-Warren). “We’ll just have to see what we can do and make sure it’s fresh in their memory.” ‘We’re going to have to work to try to keep (the money) in there,” said Sen. Nathan H. Miller (R-Rockingham). “I think we’ve got a good cause.” The conferees began meeting this week to work out differences between the House and Senate budgets and are expected to issue a report to both bodies later in the week. It may not be until late Saturday before it is clear whether Rappahannock will get state fimding. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn on Saturday. Besides Willey, the Senate conferees are majority leader Hunter B. Andrews (D-Hampton) and Sen. Wil Last Chance A small number of tickets are still available for the Friday, Feb. 25 performance of EQUUS which will be given in the Gay Street Theatre in the town of Washington at 8 P.M.

House conferees are Bagley, Del. L. Cleaves Manning (DPortsmouth) and Del. Dorothy McDiarmid (D-Fairfax). Definition Changed In case the county’s reimbursement is cut from the state budget, Guest has pursued an alternative solution to the jail space problem that began last March when Fauquier Sheriff Luther Cox announced he would no longer accept Rappahannock prisoners. Under Department of Corrections’ standards, Rappahannock’s jail qualifies as a lock-up only. State law currently limits the amount of time a prisoner may be held in a lock-up to 12 hours. Earlier in the session, Guest introduced a bill to change the definition of lockup. Passed by the House, it cleared the Senate’s Rehabilitation Committee by a narrow margin of 8-6 and on Monday, passed the full Senate, 25-14. The bill now goes to the governor. Submitted at the request of Rappahannock County, Guest’s bill would change the 12 hour limit to “a short time period as determined by the board," the board meaning the State Board of Corrections. If the bill is signed into law by the governor, it will mean that State Department of Corrections officials will inspect each lock-up and determine in an individual basis the length of time (up to 72 hours) a prisoner could be held there. “We have a problem up in my home area," Guest said in supporting his bill before the Senate committee. “This county (Rappahannock) and its law enforcement officers need a little bit of help.” He said that giving the State Department of Corrections the flexibility and discretion to deal with each lock-up based on the condition of the individual facilities might help alleviate Rappahannock’s jail space problems.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1983 What Money Can’t Buy IN ext Wednesday, the Rappahannock Lions Club will once again sponsor a Red Cross bloodmobile. It will be at the Baptist Church in Washington from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Ed Suslovic, Field Consultant for the Red Cross, stopped by the Rappahannock News a few weeks ago to give us some information on the need and use of blood collected locally. Suslovic told us that, in Europe, many more people come out to give blood than in this country. He speculates that Europeans have seen more closely the ravishes and suffering of war and therefore are more aware of the great need for donated blood. It’s true that since the use of blood transfusions in hospital care we’ve been spared the presence of war in our country. But the need for blood exists all around us. Any operation for cancer, for instance, uses between three and four units of whole blood or red cells. A newborn baby with an Rh factor will use a unit or more. A person with hemophilia will use blood throughout his lifetime to sustain life. A child with leukemia will stay alive through the gifts of strangers. suslovic said that each one of our local hospitals depends entirely on Red Cross blood supplies for their patients. Surely one of our neighbors or friends will need this care - care that money can’t buy, that doctors can’t supply, that only a responsible and generous community can provide. Suslovic said that people do respond immediately when disaster strikes. After the Air Florida crash in Washington folks flocked to the hospitals with offers of blood for the victims. But then it’s too late, Suslovic said. Blood needs to be on hand, typed and processed and ready to use at the time of an emergency. Each year, during the holidays, local blood supplies reach a dangerous low. But holiday travel, cold weather accidents and the January-February upsurge in disease and crisis for the elderly, coupled with surgery that has been postponed to the slow winter months, create an enormous drain on available supplies. Next week, give what money can’t buy. Support the Lions and their bloodmobile and urge your friends to do the same. First Class There’s a feeling of excitement in the air around Rappahannock County. It came with the start of the Year of the Panthers. Rappahannock County High School’s varsity basketball team will be going to regional competition next week, a feat never before accomplished by a RCHS squad. Regional play will begin on March 2 at Western Albermarle High School with the Panthers facing either Cumberland or Prince Edward. The Panthers finished first in he Bull Run District. No matter what happens in the District tournament this weekend, they’re on the road that may lead to a state championship. They deserve some appreciation for their accomplishments. The RCHS athletic department would like to send the team to Albermarle in style on a chartered bus. But there’s a problem. The school can afford only one trip and if the Panthers win - as coach Doyle Dawson and his boys expect - they deserve another chartered bus to carry them to the * next round of competition. The budget won’t stretch that far so the high school is appealing to the public, especially RCHS rooters and fans, to donate the necessary $329. Every contribution will be a sign of R-E-S-P-E-C-T for a wonderful job done in this Year of the Panther. Last Look At Range Proposal continued irom h’age 1) horses, IVz miles of bridle and foot paths and services such as caretaking, garbage collection, road maintenance, snow removal, field and grass cutting and house rentals. Selling price for the lots was projected to be $2,000 an acre. When informed of the county’s zoning requirement that all internal roads in the subdivision be built to state specifications and accepted into the Virginia highway system, Wiltshire Turner Ltd. countered with a proposal from its attorney, suggesting that Rappahannock’s ordinances be amended to exempt 25acre developments from the expensive road standards. No action has been taken by the planning commission to date to initiate such an amendment. Konick reported on Wednesday that his letter to Wiltshire Turner basically clarified that no plat had been submitted for the development. He said that he’d informed the firm that submission of a plat was a prerequisite to proceeding with the subdivision. “There was a question from what I had heard whether they were going to try to say that they had submitted a plat (with the presentation at the November commission meeting).” . Konick said he has not received an answer to his communication. “The silence is deafening,” he added. Chairman Stokes relayed a request from supervisor clerk Diane Bruce that the planning commission “get cracking” on its budget request for 1983-84. “We’re going to have consulting fees,” said Miller, referring to the expected bill from Dick McNear, Fauquier County’s professional planner who has been working with the commissioners for months on review and revision of Rappahannock’s zoning laws. “Can you give us an indication of what we have to figure on?” asked Krebser. “We don’t have to have it tonight,” Stokes inteijected, noting that Bruce had requested the commission’s proposed budget in time for the board of supervisors’ April meeting. “I’ll be glad to tell you how many hours and my expenses anytime you want,” said McNear. “Make sure the bill comes in this fiscal year,” Miller replied. “I will bring it next month,” promised McNear, before joining the commissioners at their table with a stack of zoning maps. Rhinocerous Coming To Gay St. As their spring production, the Rappahannock Players have chosen “Rhinocerous” by Eugene Ionesco. Although it has serious intentions, the play is a delightful, whimsical and provacative combination of comedy and melodrama. Stuart Eiland will direct the show for the Players. The cast calls for 14 adults in speaking roles (five women and nine men) and an additional entourage of seven to ten actors in nonspeaking parts. Auditions will be held in the Gay Street Theater on March 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. and March 12 and 13 at 1 p.m. Those interested in participating either on-stage or back-stage are urged to attend. More information concerning the play will be an nounced at the annual meeting of the Rappahannock Players on March 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock Library. The meeting is open to all, members and non-members alike, interested in participating in “Rhinocerous” and other Player production.

I am having second thoughts, at least as to the current campaign of the Democratic candidates for their party’s nomination. The first rule of Democratic candidates has been to visit four places: Israel, Ireland, and Italy, and Chicago. The first three visits were obviously to pick up the strong ethnic vote. The Chicago visit was different. Its purpose was to seek the endorsement of the longtime mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley. Richard Daley is dead. Potential Democratic candidates are still going to Chicago, but there has been a change. They are not seeking endorsements but are going there to give them to candidates for mayor in that city’s up-coming election. As of now, three endorsements have been given to three different candidates. Senator Kennedy, not a candidate this year, has endorsed Mayor Byrne, for re election, thus returning a favor, since she endorsed him as a candidate against President Carter in 1980. Former Vice President Mondale has gone to Chicago to endorse, as a candidate, the son of former Mayor Daley. The former vice-president says that the son of the former mayor is a friend. Not to be left out, announced candidate Senator Cranston of California has flown to Chicago to endorse a third candidate, Mr. Washington. Presidential candidates who have not yet made the Chicago trip may be hard pressed to find additional candidates and may have to sign on as co-sponsors of candidates already endorsed. A second significant difference from earlier campaigns that seems to be emerging is that not one of the candidates is offering himself as the party’s candidate, that is, the current party, but rather as the candidate of the party of the past; possibly of the future, but not of the present. None of the tentatively announced candidates is, with the exception of Senator Hollings of South Carolina, running as himself, but rather as a stand-in, a representative, a re-incamation, of former Democratic presidents or Democratic presidential candidates. Walter Mondale represents himself as carrying on for Senator Humphrey; Senator Hart of Colorado has said that he represents the pragmatic Kennedy tradition, as a kind of composite, one can assume, of three rather different traditions. Senator Glenn, does not himself claim to be the Eisenhower of the eighties, but is so identified by the press, and neither by word or action has repudiated the identification. Representative Udall, until his withdrawal, seemed to model himself after Abraham Lincoln. He was approximately the same heighth and his speeches and press conferences were marked by stories and jokes, in the Lincoln tradition. Senator Cranston, in his emphasis on foreign policy, gives intimations of a Stevenson strain, although his dedication to physical fitness and especially to jogging, has some things in common with George Romney, a Republican candidate for the presidency in 1968. Of presidents and candidates whose records still bear on current politics and have not been raised to the ranks a£ political sainthood as Jefferson, Jackson and Roosevelt have, four Democrats remain un-represented and not yet spoken for, although both Senator McGovern and former President Carter have hinted that they may run again, as themselves or possibly re-bom. Neither Harry Truman or Lyndon Johnson have been chosen for representation. School Board Releases Report continued Irom Page 1) tual determination as to whether the school board’s public discussion of the Moseley-Henning report at the two August meetings had so revealed the essence of its content that the report had, by reason of the public discussion, become a part of the public domain. Accordingly, Baumgardner petitioned the circuit court in November for that factual determination in a declaratory judgement proceeding. He named the Rappahannock News as a party respondent so that the paper would have '‘an appropriate forum within which to present (its) petition.” A pre-trial conference was held in January and the declaratory judgement was set for hearing when the school board voted unanimously at a meeting in the latter part of the month to accept the low bid of Baughan Construction Company of .Luray to build the dual purpose structure. (Irregularities in the bidding process, primarily failure of the superintendent to place an advertisement so liciting bids in the Rappahannock News, led the school board to vote the following week to re-advertise the construction project. Subsequently, Stone contacted Peter Luke, attorney representing the newspaper in the matter, and reported that the school board had agreed to release the Moseley-Henning documents. The board had consistently maintained that publicizing the figures contained in the reports would compromise the bidding process for the construction project. With the cost estimates and low bid already public knowledge, Stone said, the FOI issue raised over the Moseley-Henmng report was now moot. Accordingly, Estabrook preferred a copy of the revision to the Rappahannock News two weeks ago and supplied the original report last Tuesday. In response, the declaratory judgement action has been dropped. The report, contracted for at the cost of $2,500 plus, carries the notation “prepared for the School Board of County of Rappahannock, Virginia” on its covers. Under introduction, the report notes that “probable costs presented were derived from current unit cost information and should be viewed as budget figures only.” The cost analyses “are derived from unit cost information from nationally compiled sources, such as Robert S. Means Company, Inc. and F.W. Dodge Division of McGraw-Hill, for the purpose of providing comparative information to assist (the school board) in deciding the direction of the project. They do not represent, and should not be construed to be, cost estimates for any particular design or configuration,” the report says. $90,000 Budgeted In its 1982-83 budget, the Rappahannock school board allocated $90,000 to build the combination bus shop/office which was intended to be of _pre-engineered metal construction. Moseley-Henning’s proposal doubled the square footage of the bus shop section to 4,000 and jumped the office space from 1,800 to 2,555 square feet. That much information was reported at the public portion at the school board’s August meeting. The cost figures, however, were never men tioned, although the board’s reaction indicated that the money called for by the Moseley-Henning plan outstripped the amount budgeted. In actuality, just the estimate on a detached school boad office alone—without well, pump, storage tank and septic system—exceeded the 1982-83 appropriation for the entire building. With a separate vehicle maintenance facility added, the price tag soared to $273,595. The $177,220 for the bus shop again did not include utilities or gravel for the bus parking lot, paving and fencing for the bus parking area. For a combined building with offices and bus shop in the same structure, the cost estimate was a staggering $301,700, excluding the same items as the separate buildings. The figure climbed to a total of $341,863, when site works, utilities, furnishings and equipment, landscaping, surveys, soil investigation and other items were added. Moseley-Henning’s revised program and cost analysis submitted the following week for a combined bus shop and office reduced the square footage, eliminated a vehicle lift and added items (such as firewalls, showers for the bus shop and toilets with handicapped access) to conform to the state building code. The total cost,$239,611, remained way over the budgeted amount and still didn’t include utilities, gravel and fencing for bus parking area and paving. -From Both BarrelsThe King Bill Is Rejected By GEORGE BOWLES For the second consecutive year, the General Laws Committee of the House of Delegates killed a bill last week which would have designated Jan. 15, the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a state holiday. The measure was rejected by a resounding vote of 7-13 in the 20-member committee. The nearly two-toone margin of defeat was ironic. Earlier in the legislative session the Senate had approved the bill by an almost identical percentage margin. Twenty-four of the senators had voted for it with 12 voting in opposition. Probably no item of legislation to come before the General Assembly this year had stirred the passions of both its supporters and opponents more profoundly. The defeat came after an emotional two-and-ahalf hour public hearing during which the often-repeated arguments for and against the bill were again voiced. One can only hope the committee members who cast their votes against the measure did not do so on the basis of the testimony \ by the bill’s opponents at the hearing. For the most part, it was a pathetic melange of the old horror stories about the slain civil rights leader which have been told in certain circles for vears. Once again there was a recitation of Dr. King’s alleged connection with Communist organizations. There were the tales of government conspiracies to conceal the “truth” about his rumored public and private improprieties. And of course, there was the obligatory revelation of his “real purpose,” which was, it was charged, the ultimate extinction of the white race through “mongrelization.” Others noted, more rationally, that there are many prominent Virginians who have not been honored with state holidays, among them are many blacks. But through all the testimony the recurring racist theme rose and fell with varying degrees of intensity. Matched against this was the reasoned persuasion of Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond, chief patron of the bill, Del. Roland Ealey of Richmond, who knew Dr. King personally, black attorney David Temple of Fairfax and others. They spoke of the advances won by blacks because of Dr. King’s leadership, of the goal of brotherhood between the members of the races which he had pursued, and of his strength in the face of the dangers which dogged his footsteps and which killed him in the end. Still the committee voted to reject the bill. It was as if nothing which had been said had been heard. Indeed, it is doubtful that the testimony changed a single vote either way. The members of the committee voted their consciences, or their political best interests, and that was that. The Martin Luther King holiday was not, of course, the real subject of that hearing, nor was Dr. King, the man, the real reason for all the passions aroused by the holiday proposal. wouc wdo tUC oyiUUUlUilll llivuivea. For blacks that symbolism is not complicated. To a million black Virginians he is an authentic hero; a man who more nearly approximates a Moses than a George Washington or a Thomas Jefferson. In truth, white Virginians have no hero who stands quite as tall as does Dr. King in the eyes of his people. He is larger than life, and understandably they want to do him honor. To blacks he remains a symbol of hope. And the bill, had it passed, would have been seen as a signal from the predominately white community that the hope was accepted as legitimate and shared. But for many whites—especially older whites— the King symbolism is of a far different kind. For them, Dr. King represents the one thing which, for many, is feared above all others, and that is change. This fear was etched in the faces of many who testified at the hearing. Dr. King had destroyed their world, or at least they perceived that he had. He had wrecked the social milieu into which they had been bom, and in which they had felt secure and safe. He had upset an order so settled and well-established that surely it must have been ordained by God. And they would be damned if they were going to give him a holiday for doing it! If they couldn’t block the change, at least they could get a measure of revenge against the man who brought it about, and impose a measure of hurt on those whom the change benefitted. For the moment at least, the General Assembly has gone along with them. But only for the moment, because the hard truth is the change has come, and it is irreversible. And Martin Luther King, Jr. still stands there, a symbol larger than life. “Critical” Sewer (Continued from Page 1) straes that the Water Control Board people are doing all they can to help us,” Dennis said. At Monday’s meeting, Dennis also announced that the rescheduled visit by an Environmental Protection Agency representative to Sperryville is set for this Thursday, February 24. Dennis reported that the reasons behind the EPA inspection of the sewer site have been “toned down” from the initial trip set up for last month. The federal agency’s questions about the proposed sewer system now appear to be directed to one point: why the line extends so far to the west of Sperryville, Dennis said. “They’re saying wouldn’t it be cheaper if the line wasn’t so long.” WSA chairman Carson Johnson noted, however, that most of the raw sewage discharge points are upstream. If the waste water treatment system is to clean up the Thornton River, it must eliminate those upstream discharges, he added. Johnson and his fellow WSA members will meet the EPA inspector at 1 p.m. in the Emporium parking lot on Thursday.

Panthers Build Momentum For Tournament By JOE McCULLOUGIT “^»«*>uuii«ock Newi Snort* Writer Rappahannock’s Varsity Panthers finished off thenregular season and the Manassas Park Cougars in an 82-63 route Monday night before a screaming home did a fine job of containing Manassas Park but slipped a bit in the closing minutes of the half. The lapse enabled the Cougars to reel off six straight points and they trailed by just four, 31-27, at the buzzer. After the breather, —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson BIG JUMP for a little guard - Panther point guard Robert Myers rolls the basketball off his fingertips into the hoop, adding two more points to the Rappahannock tally. In the regular season finale Monday night before an exuberant home crowd, the RCHS squad thrashed the visiting Cougars from Manassas Park, 82-63. town crowd. With a starting line-up of all seniors, the game opened on a pass from Robert Myers to Doyle Dunn for the first bucket and the Panthers never trailed from then on. Mike Leake stretched the margin when he hit Myers downcourt for an easy two and Rappahannock held the upper hand, 14-10, at the close of the first period. Tight defense left Cougar strong man Calvin Logan tagged with two fouls in the quarter. Panther tosses were off in the second quarter but they controlled the backboards and managed to keep in front. The RCHS squad livened up Rapp’s offense, whipping passes back and forth and widening the gap to 39-33. Myers was everywhere at once, coming up with seven steals that translated into easy buckets. All of a sudden, Rappahannock was ahead, 45-33. Then came a great spurt when the pressing defense of the Panthers forced six turnovers in two minutes. The effort stretched the margin to 53-39 at the end of the third period. Ken Estes was the star of the fourth quarter. Coming off the bench in the second half, he helped lift the offense and put the game out of reach. Estes hit one of guards Jeff Poter and Myers those grooves where he could do no wrong. He made six of seven shots and pulled six rebounds to boost the difference to 65-45. Leake played like a college all-American throughout the contest. For stretches of action, he seemed to pull down every rebound and he was high scorer'in the game with 26 as the Panthers streaked to an 82-63 finish. Best Team Ever “We’ve got the best team that Rappahannock’s ever had and the reason is hustle, good defense and an unselfish attitude an offense,” said senior guard Pops Aylor who played his last regular season game on Monday. He also added that he felt really great about the support give the squad this year. Leake, the acknowledged leader of Rappahannock’s championship contingent, said the team showed a desire to win and played an unselfish game. “We’re going to the regional and then to the state and our team effort and fan support will get us there,” he promised. "I enjoyed playing this year and I only wish the seniors weren’t leaving ’cause we’re going to be back next year,” said Jeff Porter, who turned in an outstanding defensive performance against ' the Cougar’s scoring ace, Calvin Logan, in the second half. “We’ve had problems but they never affected our on-court play. I really appreciate coach Dawson ’cause he’s one otfthe guys.” The coach’s mother, who has never missed one of her son’s games, has her own philosophy. “After a win, I wear the same pants I had on to the rest of the games and I keep a penny in my shoe, and pray,” said Mrs. Dawson. “Dad watches the first half and then he stays in the cafeteria and listens for the second. We’re 15-4 so our superstitions must be working!” In the game against Manassas Park, the Panthers were credited with 22 assists, seven by Pops Aylor and six by Myers. They managed 17 steals and yanked down 50 rebounds with Leake leading the way with 19 and Dunn grabbing seven.

The Panthers posted an early 4-2 lead on a gliding lay-up by Clarence Pendleton. rebounding on the defensive boards kept the home town boys in front, 1815, at the end of the period. The fast break started to work early in the second quarter and Rappahannock jumped ahead, 22-16. Mike Leake made his presence felt on both offense and defense to help RCHS retain a 34-29 advantage at the half. Then the Rams converted a rash of Panther turnovers into points and snuck in front, 47-45, for their first lead since the opening basket. But strong rebounding again put the home team ahead, 52-47, at the start of the final quarter. Rappahannock appeared to be in control, working hard on shots, defense and rebounding. But the Panthers committed turnovers at the most inopportunistic moments, allowing the Rams quick points. “We had 22 turnovers in the game but it seemed more like 42 because they came at such bad times,” coach Dawson said. The Rams tied the tally at 60 apiece with a free throw. Rapp countered witha little surge as Leake connected for two from the charity stripe to make it 6261. But the Panthers received a crushing blow a few seconds later when forward Clarence Pendleton was calling for his fifth foul and took a seat on the bench. Thirty-three seconds showed on the clock. Rappahannock trailed 65-64. Then a tall blur broke from nowhere and all the rams saw was the number 44 on his jersey as Leake stole the ball and raced downcourt to put the home team on top, 66-65. JV Finishes Second On Monday night, the Junior Panthers regained the form they showed earlier in the season, re-asserting their claim for the topspot in the district with a lopsided 64-39 victory over the Manassa Park Cougars. Accurate passing, rebounding and tough defense by Tommy Jenkins and Deryk Moore stifled Manassas as the Panthers cruised to a 30-18 lead at the halfway mark. Rappahannock had the chance to shot four times on almost every trip down court, thanks to domination of the backboards. Jenkins was high with 23 points as the Panthers breezed to a final score of 64-39 with the bench cleared. The fans were delirious as subs Michael Starks antLJim McCullough connected. Adding insult to injury, Ricky Shaw tossed in a desperation shot at the buzzer that swished through the net. With the win over Manassas Park, the Junior Panthers earned a shot at Clarke County in the District’s ofie-game JV tournament set for this Saturday But hopes were dashed when, with 26 secohds left, the rams sank a baseline jumper. The Panthers failed to connect on their last attempt and at the end of the barnburner, missed the win by a slim two points, 67-66. “We didn’t handle the defensive pressure well. We failed to score against their man-to-man,” said Dawson. He also criticized the fouls committed by his boys. The Panthers shot a disappointing 39 percent from the field while the Rams hit 24 of 53 attempts, the best anyone’s done against Rappahannock all year. STrasburg made 13 of 19 tries in the second half and only lost the ball on turnovers 12 times in the entire (fame. The Panthers had a good night on the boards with 40 rebounds. Leake was tops with 21. Rappahannock hit one more bucket than Strasburg but fouls sent the visitors to the charity stripe for 30 shots, they were successful on 17 while at the other end, RCHS made 14 of 21.

But Rappahannock was apparently spared that tragic aspect of the conflict. Elisabeth and C. E. Johnson’s history of the county lists nine pages of men who fought for the Confederate cause but not a single soldier who enlisted in the Union army. Brothers, fathers and sons marched off to —Photo Courtesy of Mrs. Frank Brown CIVIL WAR VETERAN James Marshall Brown returned to farming after the conflict ended. In his later years, he was called to preach and according to reports, married more couples than any other minister in Virginia. This photo, taken when “Preacher Brown” was 75 years old, shows the veteran and his wife, Mollie F. Brown, holding two-year-old R. Lyle Rector and three-months-old Wilson Goodman. battle but all marched for the CSA. The Brown family of Sperryville is an example. James Marshall Brown enlisted in the Confederate Army’s Company B, 7th Virginia Infantry, in May, 1861. He served with Col. Patten, Kemper’s Brigade, A. P. Hill’s Davision, Longstreet’s Corps and under Gen. Robert E. Lee, according to Mrs. Frank Brown, widow of James Marshall’s grandson. A severe wound taken at Gettysburg ended his military service. “He was his by a mini-ball in his ankle. He carried that with him until the day he died,” Mrs. Brown reported. “The family always said that he slept with his foot outside the bed covers, that old wound burned so much.” Brown was in Pickett’s Division at Gettysburg. “When they’d fallen back after the charge, there were only 52 left alive and out of that 52, only two were unwounded,” Mrs. Brown reported. The CSA didn’t provide transportation home for soldiers who could no longer fight so James Marshall hobbled back as best he could. ' James Marshall’s brother Paul was wounded at Bull Run, Mrs. Brown continued. He fell on the Yankee side but was helped back to the Confederate line and safety. Valley Forge Recalled Captain Philip Slaughter in 1844 was probably the only officer still living in Virginia who served in the Culpeper Minute Men throughout the Revolutionary War. His written and verbal remembrances provide an account of the famous winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge. The winter at Valley Forge saw the soldiers enduring almost unbelievable hardship and severe deprivation of food and clothing. Just as hard for the officers to endure as their own suffering was the suffering of their men. Most of them gave away their clothing - piece by piece - to their almost naked men. Some of the soldiers had no garments at all. Not one soldier in five had blanket. They lived in rude huts amid the knee-deep snow all winter. To keep up. morale, General Washington had officers take turns dining at his private table. Embarrassed by their lack of clothing, few were able to accept the invitation. Slaughter, clinging to civilization by his one threadbare shirt, frequently went in place of others so that his regiment might be represented. Brother Henry was a blacksmith in West Virginia when the war began. “He came back home to Rappahannock and volunteered... Henry was never scared. He’d get up in the morning and say, ‘Come on! Let’s get those d— Yankees!” Mrs. Brown recalled from family stories. “He was wounded with Jackson and after that, Henry became a conscript man. On his travels in search of men who were evading military service, it was said that he always got his quarry, Mrs. Brown added. Henry was taken prisoner by the Union forces and held 11 months on an island off the coast of New York, she noted. All three brothers lived through the conflict and returned to Rappahannock County. James Marshall Brown ran a farm until he was cal&d to preach at a Baptist Church in his later years, Mrs. Brown said. According to “My Rappahannock Story Book,” the county history written by Mary Elizabeth Hite, James Marshall Brown married more couples than any other minister in Virginia. They came to “Preacher Brown,” as he was affectionately known, from Hazel Mountain, Old Rag Mountain and the valleys, Hite wrote. Mrs. Frank Brown had a little journal kept by Preacher Brown’s wife, listing all the men and women he joined together in matrimony. But the journal detailing the former veteran’s more gentle calling was burned in the fire that recently destroyed her home. Washington Gun Factory Made Arms For War Of 1812 Names rarely fit their bearers as well as George Wheeler’s appellation suited him. A resident of the town of Washington in the early 1800s, Wheeler was the epitome of a wheeler-dealer. He wasn’t a soldier but he was an arms manufacturer, producing the weapons of war. History buff Charles K. Estes has unearthed records that indicate Wheeler planned to turn the county into a munitions capitol. According to papers dated 1801, he offered free land and a contract for construction of arsonal buildings on terms “as low as any other person.” The arsenal was to be located 55 miles from Fredericksburg, 24 miles from Fauquier, 26 miles from Culpeper, 32 miles from Madison, 43 miles from Orange and 10 miles from Chester Gap. Wheeler described the neighborhood as “extremely populous and wealthy, being within half a mile of the new thriving town of Washington...” He also noted that the site had a stone quarry, merchants and a saw mill within a mile and four more saw mills within three miles.’ Despite the enducements, the government didn’t accept Wheeler’s offer and the arsenal was built instead in Richmond. But George Wheeler wasn’t finished with his efforts to make Washington a munitions center. In October, 1808, he and his partner, Caleb Morrison, signed a contract with the U.S. government to manufacture arms. “This just shows that the government started planning early for the War of 1812,” Estes noted. Two thousand and five hundred “musquets with bayonets” were to be delivered to the armory at Harpers Ferry at the price of $10.75 per gun. Wheeler’s plant just above the old mill on the Rush River was to produce 500 weapons per year, under the terms of the contract. According to Estes, the government advanced Wheeler and Morrison $2,500 against the $26,875 total to be payed for the 2,500 “musquets”, taking a lien against their property as surety. The boys in Washington could have saved themselves the trouble of that paper work. A gun collector’s hand book that Estes has gives a description of the guns Wheeler and Morrison made (markings unknown)and a value for good and fine quality examples of the work of the Washington manufacturers. those old guns are rare, indeed, because only 125 of the 2,500 are believed to have been delivered, according to the handbook. Not only did Wheeler and Morrison fail to live up to their contract with the government, they managed to finagle two unsuspecting buyers into purchasing their property, the same property that had the $2,500 lien against it. Estes has a copy of H. R. 701, the act of Congress passed June 15, 1836, that relieved the new owners, Daniel Ward and George Ficklen, of the debt owed by the wheeler-dealers. From the date that they sold their encumbered holdings, George Wheeler and Caleb Morrison disappear from the pages of Rappahannock history, ending Washington’s short life as a gun capitol of the Piedmont. —Photo Courtesy of Robot Eastham BOB RIDLEY EASTHAM was tried for murder in this temporary Parsons courthouse in 1897. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to two years imprisonment but escaped within three months after his trial. County Lad Walked Miles To Enlist Luther Warfield Brown was just 15 years old when he set out w'alking from Sperryville to Richmond, determined to offer his services to his counry in the Spanish-American War of 1898. According to his daughter, Sperryville postmaster Aileen Johnson, Brown wanted to enlist in the 3rd Virginia Volunteer Infantry’s Company B. Because of his youth, the young man was sent back home to get permission from his family. “He used to say that he wore out a pair of shoes that were thin to start with on that walk,” Mrs. Johnson recalled. With the approval of his folks, Luther Brown joined 22 other Rappahannock men in the Volunteers. Captain Thomas E. grimsley, leader of the company, took a fatherly interest in the boy and kept him busy running relatively safe errands as an unofficial orderly. “That’s all I can remember my father saying about the war,” Mrs. Johnson reported. “He wasn’t in more than a year. He couldn’t have been much older than 16 when he got out.” Luther’s brother, James E. Brown, also served in the Spanish-American War with the Volunteers. Another set of siblings, Thomas W. Estes, and Benjamin F. Estes, both uncles of Charles Estes and great-uncles of Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. Estes, enlisted from the Sperryville area, Mrs. Johnsonnoted. Roscoe Bruce, father of county dog warden Jack Bruce, was another volunteer, she added. All of Rappahannock’s veterans, all of Virginia’s survivors, of that 1898 conflict are now dead but the widow of Spanish-American soldier William Jefferson still resides in the village of Sperryville across the street from post office. “To my knowledge, Mary Jefferson is the only widow of that war living i» the entire State of Virginia,” Mrs. Johnson concluded. Col. Eastham Fought French And Indians Rappahannock’s oldest soldiers collaborated with the Brittish in defending the colonial frontier against the French invaders and their Indian allies. Col. Robert Eastham, a gentleman justice of Orange County (when that county included what is now Rappahannock), served with Col. George Washington, then at Winchester, in the French and Indian Wars. Robert Eastham of Flint Hill, Col. Eastham’s great-, great-great-great grandson, isn’t sure exactly where his ancestor resided but thinks it was somewhere in the northern end of the county. He noted that the colonel’s home is certainly no longer standing, pointing out that the modest structures of those frontier days were all built of wood. The senior officers of the militia were responsible for raisinjg their own troops to combat the French and Indian enemies. The colonial government supplied ammunition and pay but apparently, that support was not always dependable. The present day Robert Eastham has a copy of a letter dated November 29, 1755, from Governor Dinwiddie in Williamsburg to the colonel in the frontier militia. The text reads: “I rec’d Y’r L’r of the 24th. I am sorry there is occasion to call for drafts from the militia, but it’s necessary for the Protec’n of the Front’rs, and, in course, the whole Co’ty; they will be p’d. Therefore I hope they will chearfully comply with what’s now order’d, as I observe it’s to relieve some former Detachm’ts.

Washington is nece’ry, you write to him on Y’r Affair. I shall soon appoint Officers for the Militia of Your Co’ty...”. FRANK HUFF and his Russian counterpart who met on the bridqe over the river Elbe. Washington Soldier Makes History At Trebsen By ROB BAYNE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Frank Huff has lived in Rappahannock County all his life. He and his wife now live in Flint Hill across from the old school in a white house with black trim. A black iron sign with “The Huffs” printed in white cursive hangs from the cross bar of a light post in the front yard. In the sunlight the house looks as if it has recently been painted. The current warm spell has coaxed up a few crocuses in a flower bed near the front door. A large iron doorknocker in the shape of an eagle dominates the door. On a table in the living room are pictures of the family—children, grandchildren, sons and daughters-inlaw—and, hanging on the wall to the left is a picture of Huff in his volunteer fireman’s uniform. Further left, in the hall leading fo the study hangs a framed newspaper clipping with a picture of Private First Class Huff shaking hands with a Russian soldier. Under the picture, the caption reads, “East meets West.” This picture, which appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world when it was published in April, 1945, is the only visible clue that Huff was part of a historic moment in World War II. The Russian in the picture is one Huff met on a “bridge” over the Elbe River in Germany. In fact, Huff met the Russian on one of the protruding girders of the bridge; the original thoroughfare lay under many feet of water after being destroyed by a German demolition team. Coming from opposite banks of the river, Huff’s patrol and two Russian officers crawled to a bend in the narrow girder and met, precariously, over the foaming river. It was the first meeting of Russian and American forces during the war; the date was April 25,1945. “They (the Russians) kissed and hugged us like a bunch of women. Seemed kind of strange to me, especially on that narrow beam with fast moving water below us,” Huff recounted. In the incident leading up the rendezvous, the Russians had not been so friendly. Lt. Robertson, leader of the patrol and Huffs commanding officer, had waved a makeshift American flag out the window of a tower on the bank of the Elbe, in an attempt to communicate their nationality to battle fatigued Russian soldiers across the river. When the Russians received no answer to their green signal flair, they opened fire on the tower and on the hapless Lieutenant whom they assumed to be a German playing a trick. No one was hurt but the Lieutenant told his men to take the jeep back to a German prison garrison on the outskirts of Torgau, a town already captured by the American forces, and to bring back a tall Russian, formerly a German prisoner of war whom they had met early that day. They left and were back in half an hour with the Russian. When the shooting lulled, the Russian climbed to the top of the tower and yelled out the window to his countrymen, explaining to them that they were firing on their American allies. At once convinced, the Russians’ suspicions were allayed and the shooting ceased. They left their cover and came onto the bank waving their arms and shouting. The first one to climb onto the girder was the tall Russian; the Americans followed his lead, as did the two Russian officers onthe other side of the Elbe. “After greeting them, we went back to our side and they followed. One of the Russian officers passed around his canteen and I just about choked when I took a drink. I later found out that none of them Russians carried water around in their canteens—they all had Vodka,” Huff reported. The Russian officers agreed to ride back to the American Command Post in Wurzen where news of the American-Russian link up was wired worldwide. Two days later, the four man patrol was summoned to General Eisenhower’s hideaway called the Little School House. Huff recalled: “We must have gone through 9 doors (all of them had guards) to get to the General’s office. We walked into the room and saluted and he saluted back. We got out the flag we used to signal the Russians which was only a sheet smeared with red and blue paint to look like stars and stripes. He saw that thing and he smiled. He said he wished only he had been there himself. Then he promoted all of us one grade on the spot, and said that only he could demote us. And he said not to worry about that.” On May 8, 1945, about a week later, Germany surrendered. Huff remained in uniform for a year more and was sent to England to salvage and catalogue Army surplus. He was discharged in May, 1946, and returned home to the Huff family farm which was located about a mile outside Washington. He and his older brother Tom had come home safely rom the war and both went to work again on the farm, raising cattle and growing corn, wheat, oats and harvesting apples from their small orchard. Four years later, Frank decided he wanted to use the mechanical skills he had acquired in the Army and so he found a job at Merril’s Garage in Washington. He worked there for 23 years. After that, he got a job in Front Royal with the Amer ican Viscos Company which produces a paper material for use in the manufacturing of tires and band aids. He work there for many years but had to retire after injuring his back. Today, Frank Huff is trying to find someone to write a book about his experience with Russians in World War II. So far, no luck: “I sent a package of pictures and news clippings to West Point along with a letter asking whether someone over there might be milling and able to write a book about this. Well, they kept the pictures for about a year and I was beginning to wonder. So when I called them a couple months ago, they told me that nobody there writes about military history. They told me to talk to the Department of the Army. I got the pictures and stuff back a week later.” The Soviet Union, it seems, has been more considerate of World War II history and the men who made it. Eight years ago in 1975, Huff and his wife were honored at a dinner party at the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. on the 30th anniversary of the defeat of hitlerite facism. Only one other American was present—Paul Staubs from the Bronx, one of the four who met the Russians on the Elbe. According to Huff, the Embassy treated them to an incomporable east: “They had a table in the middle of the room. It was the biggest table in the world, and it was covered with every kind of food, there was every meat you can imagine and twice as many kinds offish. The Russians made us try everything and it was all fantastic. The people from the embassy spoke perfect English and they were some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.”

150 Years Saw Many County Sons Go Off To War Captain Of Washington Greys Evaluates His Men Thomas B. Massie, Captain of Company B (Washington Greys) in the 7th Virginia Regiment, kept a detailed account book for his men in the Civil War, listing amounts owed to them and amounts deducted from their pay for chewing tobacco, butter and cash advances. Captain Massie was the grandfather of Thomas Lee Massie, who found the well-preserved book among his possessions. Roberta Spalding of Flint Hill graciously lent the book to the Rappahannock News for this article. Mrs. Spalding wasn’t sure how Thomas Bernard and another county figure Thomas Benjamin Massie, were related, but she said that they called each other “Cousin Tom.” Captain Massie’s ledger lists his sergeants as George W. Cooper, Robert E. Miller, and W. G. Harris; his corporals were A. M. Hopper, Thomas H. Hopkins, J. B. Cooper and J. E. Fogg, and he had about 65 privates serving under him. Captain Massie’s accounts tell a great deal about the day-to-day life of a Confederate soldier. Those in his comply received a blanket, shirt, shoes, cap, overcoat, jacket and pants. The army apparently paid for their uniforms since the soldiers were not charged. It appears, however, that if a soldier lost a cap, a rifle or a pair of shoes, the purchase price was charged against his wages. Lieutenant John M. Hopper, for example, was charged $2.00 for a cap and $3.00 for a pair of boots. The supply officer, who appears to be George W. Coo per, made chewing tobacco available to the men at the price of 16 cents a plug. Whiskey was another matter. In the very front of the book, Massie notes that “the following members agree to pay the sums annexed to their names to buy whisAN UNFINISHED SENTENCE cannot be explained. Perhaps Massie was showing a less educated soldier how to obtain a transfer into the Washington Greys. key for Company to be placed under control and to be furnished to the men as they require it.” The men in the list have amounts varying from “none" to $10.00. It is not clear whether they were assessed according to their expected consumption. Neither is it clear what the men did to demonstrate that they “required” whiskey. But since whiskey was used during this bloody war as the inTTTDAMC —Photo courtesy Rappahannock Historical Society Vfc I tKAINb of the War Between the States gathered for a reunion in the early years of the 20thr century.

Accounts of the whisr key agreements were kept by Captain Thomas B. Massie. It appears from his ledger that the going price of whiskey was $2.00 a gallon in Confederate money. —Photo Courtesy of Charles K Estes COLUMBUS ESTES of Spenyville, grandfather of Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. Estes, existed in the Confederate Army on July 1,1863, at Charleston, West Virginia. However, records show that he was a member of the Washington Greys, a Rappahannock Company, in the years 1861 and 1862. most common pain-killer, more than a few men in Massie’s company surely “required” it. From his book, Massie appears to be an earnest, capable man, keeping detailed accounts over a period of several years. Family recollection says that he was a small man, married to a large woman. Mrs. Spalding said she had always heard that he’d sit with his foot in his wife’s shoe, twirling it around to tease her about her big feet. After the war he managed his farm near Washington. He was able to graft five types of apples on to the same tree. In Mrs. Spalding’s home in Flint Hill is a beautiful cherry desk that Captain Tom made. Of unusually fine workmanship, it shows that the man whose fine handwriting and fastidious accounting appear in the ledger was a perfectionist in other ways. Two cryptic notes found in the ledger might tell a story of intrigue within the company. Scrawled upside down across a neatly written page of accounts is the warning, “Trust him not. He is fooling you.” And on a page facing one that was roughly torn out is a part of a sentence: “I would respectfully ask to be transferred from Co. G. Capt. Waldens. . .” Perhaps Captain Massie was showing a less educated soldier how to request a transfer into the Washington Greys. By far the most interesting part of the ledger are the pages where Massie reports on the performance of his men in battle. He lists three battles, one on July 18, 1861, one on July 21, and a skirmish at Falls Church, where he reports that there were 9 men fighting against 75. Massie participated in all three, as did most of his lieutenants and all of his sergeants and corporals. Some of his men he singles out for special praise: John W. Burke was “first rate—a good soldier. James Bayliss he calls “an excellent soldier.” William Dodson, “a good and obedient soldier,” died October 9th, 1861 at the Culpeper hospital. John W. Grubbs was “a good soldier - does his duty.” Massie notes that William Gearing, “a good soldier,” died at home in 1861. Isham Menefee, another good soldier was wounded on July 21. William A. Nidolson was praised as “one of the best in the army.” Massie’s loss of one man, Simpson Nicol, was blamed on the company surgeon. Nicol was “kept in tent in camp as he was nearly dead, ordered to hospital and died immediately after his arrival. Death caused in my opinion by wilfull neglect of duty by the surgeon of this regiment during my absence to Richmond on detached service,” Massie recorded. James Norman was rated as “good and true”. James Racer was “good, but intemperate.” Elijah Riley was “good, but mischievous.” Of John Scroggins, Massie had extra words of praise: “wounded by a piece of spent shell in Battle 18 July but went on duty 19th July, in battle 21st. Has always been with company. No better soldier or man in county.” Of Posey M. Whalen, Massie writes: “In battle of the 18th, severely wounded in battle of the 21st. Arm shattered. Good, one of the best soldiers in the army. Wound has prevented his return to company.” The practical Massie noted, however, that “he lost his rifle when wounded.” One soldier, William I. Huff, was so highly thought of by Massie that he used him as a standard. The captain said that Huff was “a good soldier, a very good man, moral.” Thereafter, whenever Massie wanted to praise a man, he said he was “like Huffy.” George Hartley was the “same as Huffy - moral.” John W. Johnson was “like Huff—reads his Bible.” Stephen Jenkins was the “same as Huff, but quiet.” Also the “same as Huff’ was William B. Kendall. Other Rappahannock men did not distinguish themselves as well and earned the icy criticism of their Captain. Although many men were “always sick”, (as might be expected considering severe deprivation and rampant disease), Massie sarcastically observed that several of his men were “sick when cannons roar.” One man, whom Massie detailed as a waggoner, was “no account as a soldier.” Another “fell out and stirred out and did not show fight. Showed cowardice.” Massie went on to call him a “sorry soldier in every way.” Another private was discharged with “mental derangement” in October of 1861. A note “not able, little service,” does not explain whether the man in question was sick or incompetent. Two brothers from Rappahannock left the company in Culpeper Count House on June 15 and stayed away until October. One of them left again and was “unposted as a deserter.” Perhaps the worst criticism the captain could muster about one of his men was directed at a soldier who “could not stand the Roar of the 21 July and cowardly fell out. Shot his own finger off and lied about it. Said the enemy done it. Has not been with the company since. Sorry in every way.” From the pay records it appears that Captain Massie dismissed this sorry soldier and paid him only through June 30. After this account of his soldiers in battle, Massie returned to his ledgers, detailing the butter and extra eggs rationed out to his men for breakfast, keeping track of the Rappahannock company’s day-to-day business during the war.

The officers listed on this page of his ledger must have conducted themselves well as he had no complaints. Others fared less well in his estimation. •A?£ 11 i i^ 0 ft*" Hi Yankees Left Their Mark In Rappahannock Rappahannock families found themselves playing unwilling hosts to soldiers from the north, both during the war years and during the years afterward when soldiers from both the northern and southern armies roamed the countryside on their way home. Mary Elizabeth Hite wrote an article for the Rappahannock News in 1949 with some of the stories she had picked up over the years. From Mrs. Hite: General Grant __ In Woodville During the War Between the States, General Grant had established headquarters in the yard of a Mrs. Newton, near Woodville. Grant and Mrs. Newton were watching the fighting from her front porch. The General warned Mrs. Newton that their position was not any too safe and advised her to go inside. She did not go and a little later he spoke for the second time, saying “I see my men are falling back and I think you had better go inside.” To which Mrs. Newton replied, “General Grant, if you are frightened there is a place for you in the cellar with the children and as for me I am going to stay here and watch the battle.” Years later Grant asked someone from Woodville if he knew Mrs. Newton and when a reply in the affirmative was received he said “She is the most plucky woman I ever saw.” Dr. Mark Reid The war had ended but not the trouble of Southern men and women. The Federal Government was taking into custody all those who refused to take the “oath of allegiance” to the Union. When the oath was read to Dr. Reid of Thermopylea near Boston he refused to sign. Though an invalid and bedridden, they placed him in an ambulance to carry him to prison. No sooner had they done so when his daughter Matilda climbed in beside him, telling the soldiers that if they took her father they would take her also. They had not gone far, however, when they met an officer of higher rank. He, on inquiring into the meaning of two prisoners instead of one, gave the order to return with them saying, “that old man can do no harm, take him home.” Cows at Poplar Shade During the Civil War several engagements took place on Battle Mountain, about two miles from Poplar Shade, and Yankee soldiers frequently passed through the plantation. A story is told of Ann Taylor Miller, wife of William Henry Miller who was in the army at that time. The Yankees were plundering the bams, shooting the turkeys and chickens and chasing the cows in an effort to milk them. With several of her faithful slaves, the mistress of Poplar Shade walked to the bam and said sweetly, “Gentlemen, I see you are exciting my cows and so I have brought my milkmaid to milk them for you.” An F.T. Valley Girl and Her Horse The soldiers of the north, while passing through the F. T. Valley, stopped at Mont Medi to Despoil and to carry off the horses. Through the long day, the young daughter of the house stood on the front steps, holding the bridle-reins of her favorite horse. All day long the soldiers stopped, looked at the good horse and passed on. At the close of the day a tired little girl was left alone with her horse. Greenfield Meat At Greenfield, between Washington and Sperryville, when the Federal soldiers robbed the meat house, hams and shoulders treated with black pepper and dark molasses were left, as the Yankees thought the meat had been poisoned. After looting, the men burned some of the outbuildings at Greenfield. While the buildings were burning, Mrs. John A. Browning, the mother of nine children, was weeping. Her five-year-old daughter tried to comfort her by saying, “Mama, they can’t burn heaven." Mary Landon, the child, died at age six and a poem by this title was written by John M. Patton in her memory. Hospital at the Meadows During the war The Meadows in Washington served as a hospital for the Union soldiers. For reasons that no one can explain, the attic seems to be the room used for this purpose. Names of soldiers treated there were written on the wall and bloodstains marked the floor. Union soldiers who died at the Meadows were buried under a big walnut tree in the back. Also used as a hospital by the Union was the Rabbit Gum, the old academy in Washington. Doors Slashed * At The Shade Two stories have been passed down that attest to the presence of Union soldiers at The Shade. One story recalls that union officers were billeted at The Shade. At least one of the officers had a soft spot for the hunt as the foxhounds on the place received excellent care during this time. Camped near by, in their less luxurious open air quarters, were Union enlisted men. To this day, slashes on the door mark where the men drank too much apple jack and scored the doors of their officer’s quarters with their bayonets. Old Soldiers Remembered At the time of the Civil War, Dr. William Amiss and Dr. D. D. Miller probably drew lots to see who would go to the Civil War to take care of the people and who would stay in the county to take care of the people. Dr. Amiss won and he became Stonewall Jackson’s physician. —Virginia Miller Lindstrom told to Historical Society During the Second World War, rationing was instituted in Rappahannock County and throughout the rest of the nation to ensure that items in short supply would be available for the war effort. Gas was one of the rationed commodities. Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher of Washington recalls her son, Sperryville attorney James William Fletcher, switching from automotive to horse and buggy transportation to save gasoline. “I remember driving down the F.T. Valley in that buggy. It was so slow, I thought I’d get there faster if I walked.” Carl L. Hofer from McLean and Sperryville wrote that there was in Rappahannock County in 1850 a Revolutionary War pensioner. Colbert Mason, 85 at the time of the Rappahannock census, was listed with his son Silas, a laborer and his daughter, Elizabeth.

If moleskin pads are placed on a normal individual (a non-di abetic without overly sensitive skin) and it makes their feet more comfortable there is no harm. The only possible consequence can be masking of a minor problem until it becomes a major one. If, however, a diabetic patient uses a corn pad that has a caustic chemical and his diabetes is not under good medical control the results ultimately can be catastrophic. Infection, loss of limb, etc., is not entirely out of the question. Lastly, pads on any individual should not be left on for more than a few days at any time because the skin can build up a sensitivity to the pad.

Point-To-Points Are Annual Virginia Ritual By ANNE TINSDALE Democrat Staff Writer It’s getting to be that time of year again when Master Reynard takes off his running shoes and gets ready to pursue the pleasures of courtin’ time. So, too, does the foxhunter put away his bright pink hunting coat, in favor of equally bright racing silks, in preparation for the annual ritual of chasing his fellow foxhunters across the countryside, from one point to another. Unfettered by heavy hunting clothes and mounted on a horse fit from a season of hunting, they undoubtedly will run somewhat faster than a normal hunting pace. This is known as point-topoint racing, and although not quite as sophisticated as steeplechase racing, which is run under rules set down by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, it is a more refined version of the old fashioned type of point to-pomt races, where the gentlemen of the hunt would challenge each other following the regular season to a race from one designated point to another in the area usually hunted. This unique sport can be documented as far as back as 1752 in Ireland. It had its origins in the United States with the first recorded event in 1885, the running of the Genesee Valley (New York) Hunt Point-to-Point. In years past only those directly concerned with the participants could be found standing on yonder hillside cheering their favorite on. Today thousands of spectators turn out religiously each spring for what has become a series of annual social events in this part of the country. The bitter chill of winter has almost gone, and everyone welconies the chance to get out and visit at the popular tailgate parties, each group competing in a —Douglas Lees for The Fauquier Democrat SPRINGTIME IN VIRGINIA brings out the crowds to enjoy Point-to-Point racing. friendly rivalry to set the most elaborate spread, the most original, the most delicious. At the Casanova Races, the first on the circuit, one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the day is The Harden and Weaver Handicap which is open to “Ladies and Gentlemen at catch weights on the parking area turf. Entries open to anyone with a tailgate, food and beverages. Winner to be determined on the basis of expertise in tailgating. Liquid trophy donated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery.

(703) 347*3141 be donated to Children’s Hospital.” From what was initially a simple two point race among a few friends, over natural uncharted hunting country, covering a distance of from four to six miles, has developed a series of up to nine races, for ladies and gentlemen, both professional and amateur, over natural hurdles and timber, covering a distance of one and one half to three miles, and involving thousands of people as a major area event. Point-to-Point racing as we know it today in Virginia began during the early 1940’s when the up to then old fashioned meets began to construct specially built timber fences and to flag their courses. Prior to that time, the Pointto-Points had retained their old fashioned flavor, with informal races between hunting people on their own horses, over natural courses and under natural hunting conditions, the first of these being the Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point in 1934. With the success of that first race, the Middleburg, Orange County, Old Dominion and Piedmont Hunt followed in quick succession, each with its own cross country course. Today there are nine race meetings on the Virginia circuit, which also includes Oatlands, Fairfax, Rappahannock and Casanova. Established primarily to continue good sport among foxhunters after the close of hunting season, the hunt races soon became major spectator attractions. With each year the course and fences became more sophisticated and professional, and the meets have now become, with revenue generated from gate receipts, subscriptions and entry fees, the major source of income for many of the hunts. 1983 POINT-TO-POINT CIRCUIT Sat., Feb. 26 - Casanova Hunt First Race -12:30 p.m. Hunter Pace, Pairs - 10 a.m. Contact: Will O’Keefe 703-439-3025 Box 398, Warrenton, VA 22186 Sat., Mar.5 - Rappahannock Hunt First Race -12 Noon Pair Race -10:30 a.m. Contact: David Carter - 703-987-8829 Sperryville, Va 22740 Sat., Mar. 12 - Blue Ridge Hunt First Race • 1 p.m. Hunter Pace Pairs 11 a.m. Contact: Mrs. Patricia Gilbert 703-837-1032 Berryville, VA 22611 Sat., Mar. 19 - Warrenton Hunt First Race -1 p.m. Old Fashioned Point-to-Point 10 a.m. Contact: Douglas Lees - 703-347-3100 Warrenton, VA 22186 Sat., Mar. 26 - Piedmont Fox Hounds First Hare 2 p.m. Hunter Pairs • 11 a.m. Contact: Mrs. A.

Over Hurdles Or Timber Racing Has Similarities And Differences My JUWK KUHSAM Democrat Special Writer Among the similarities of Point-to-Point races and NSHA (National Steeplechase and Hunt Association) hunt meetings are the kinds of races. Both race meetings usually have programs consisting of hurdle races, timber races and flat races. Hurdle races-also called brush races or simply steeplechases—are run at distances from a mile and three quarters to three miles over approximately six obstacles per mile. These jumps may consist of hurdles built of wooden frames about one foot high, packed tightly with freshly cut cedar or pine branches to a height of about three and a half feet. Brush fences are usually higher at the hunt meetings, and at the Montpelier Races in Orange, they are natural growing hedges. Because hurdles can vary greatly in stiffness and height, the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association since 1976 has encouraged the use of a standard artificial fence. When these “national fences” are used, horses competing in other areas will find familiar obstacles to jump-a safety factor. The national fences consist of iron frames filled with green plastic brush to a height of four feet. On the take off side are rolls made of foam rubber covered with green fabric. i imt>er steeplechases At the point-to-points the timber courses are usually similar to hunting country with rolling hills and ditches, and a variety of obstacles including stone walls, board fences, and chicken coops as well as post and rail and aiken fences. A particularly good example is the Piedmont course. At the hunt meetings, however, the fences are more apt to be all post and rail at greater heights. Timber races are run at longer distances than hurdle races-from three to four miles with again roughly six fences per mile} Because the point-to-points are closer to the original idea of steeplechasing, there are many more timber races than hurdle races or flat races, while at the national hunt meets the reverse is true with three times as many hurdle races as there are timber or flat races. Flat Races Flat races are often described in race programs only as being “on the turf’, and are run at distances from four furlongs to two miles. Outstanding Races At the Virginia point-topoints the most challenging races are the timber races. And of the 30 or more that are contested, a few have become classics ^Gourmet i&c/ien W A)!t>PU£8*JfS&' ^ ti _ CA.I W-S &4T. 7o'3-fcSl_teC>T7 CoffEf BEAtiS ffywtfS^p Sfifffcptfs because of their distance and difficulty. Among these are the Piedmont Fox Hounds’ Rokeby Bowl at three and a half miles, celebrating its 42nd running this year. It has as former winning riders such legendary names as Crompton “Tommy” Smith and Louis “Paddy” Neilson... Another is Oatlands’ Eustis Cup, which at four miles is the longest point-to-point race, and is sometimes used as a prep for the Virginia Gold Cup. Loudoun Hunt’s MFH Dr. Joe Rogers has won the Eustis Cup three times. Ordinarily point-to-point races do not carry a purse; one of the few exceptions is the Eustis Cup. On the other hand there are currently 15 stakes races over hurdles at the NHSA meetings that have purses ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. The most prestigious is the Colonial Cup at Camden, S. C., followed by the International Gold Cup at Rolling Rock, Pa. There are also races at the major tracks sanctioned by NSHA, and two of the great classics are the Temple Gwathmey at Belmont Park and the Turf Writers at Saratoga Springs. Conditions In order to make the competition closer, and to give horses of lesser ability a better chance, races are designed to meet certain conditions of distance, weight carried, horse’s age and rider’s ability. Both point-to-points and sanctioned hunt meets usually have at least one race for maidens, which are horses that have not won a race of that category-flat, hurdles or timber. However, a winner in one category may run in a maiden race of a different type. Weight allowances are given for age-sevefal pounds less for younger horses, less for mares and for non-winners.

Pony Clubbers Catch The Spirit Of Race Riding By ANNE TINSDALE Democrat Staff Writer The adventure of race riding, like the thrill of the chase, knows few age limits. One of the most popular and accomplished stars on the Virginia point-to-point circuit, Randy Rouse, is in his mid ’60’s and still going strong. Meanwhile a new young light glows on the horizon, already with so many wins to her credit, she is hard pressed to readily deliver an exact figure. Point-to-point racing and fox hunting have an appeal that is almost universal, and many youngsters still in pony club are already out there riding to win, right alongside some of the veterans of the chase. Dawn Dugan, age 13,is one of these, along with several other pony clubbers, both current and alumni. Dawn has been racing for four years, “ever since I began hunting when I was nine.” She belongs to the CasanovaWarrenton Pony Club and hunts with Old Dominion and Bull Run Hunts, with her mother, Vicki Dugan, who, she says “has been hunting for decades”. (According tp Vicki, it’s only been two!) Still growing, Dawn has had a different size pony each year since she began racing, but is eager to tell the story of her current mount, Sharp Start, whom she calls her “Easter pony”. nonu ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes Cabins • Additions Remodeling' Commercial as well As Residential Box 147 Flint Hilt.Va. 703-675-3897 Va.

A sure bet to go to the “killers”. But there was something about him that the nine-year-old and her mother couldn’t resist. And home he went to the Dugans’ Sterling Manor Farm in Catharpin. A good home, good food, and proper veterinary attention soon began to pay off, and Dawn had herself a racing prospect. Dawn already has two old fashioned wins to her credit, both at Orange County in 1980 and 1982, as well as six point-topoint wins on the flat, and one in a sanctioned meet, the race for juniors at Foxfield in 1981. This year the two will be seen again in the hunter pairs series, along with another pony club member, Amy Krenytzky. Amy will be making her debut racing over fences on Winter Warning, the veteran large pony who also belongs to Dawn. Admittedly out to win the junior division of the pairs series this year, Dawn and Amy will be evenly matched against at least one other CWPC team, that of Jeanne Fendley, veteran race rider, with newcomer Bonnie Tweed. —Democrat Staff Photo!Anne Tinsdale ONE OF THE YOUNGEST and winningest riders on the Point-to-Point Circuit, Daum Dugan, 13, has two Old Fashioned wins to her credit.

At the hunt meets there are handicap races where weights are assigned to horses by the racing secretary according to past performances. Claiming races are also run at the hunt meets, but not at pointto-points.

My partner was Moody Aylor. To say I had butterflies in my stomach would be an egregious understatement. It was more like a swarm of gypsy moths. My adrenalin unleashed itself when the loudspeaker called out our number. Another pair came galloping toward the finish line. One girl missed it all together and, garnishing the event with some expletives-deletives, burst into tears. Before I knew it the flag went down for Moody and me. My first and (as it turned out) only cardinal sin was not getting myself in shape. The 1981-82 foxhunting season, also a first, had kept me fit until the weather went bad. After that I hunted sporadically. Two days before the pair race I walked the five-mile, 11-fence course, and the day before Moody and I went out for a trail ride. He gave me some pointers such as “keep at least six lengths behind me,” to which I replied, “You gotta be kidding. This horse is so raring to go, you’ll be lucky if I can keep her two lengths behind.” My legs felt fine after the two-hour ride, so I thought I’d make it. As we started out at a slow gallop, my breathing became heavy; even before the first coop. But I was keeping my proper distance from Moody. That amazed me. Lily settled right in behind him at a controllable (thank God) pace. Coop One. It’s one of the bigger ones (for those riding at 15 hands) Rappahannock Hunt has to offer, but I had been over it several times before. Lily, I knew, wouldn’t dream of refusing. She was having too much fun. We flew over it. I was panting like a dog, trying to catch my breath. A flash of pink. Must be an outrider, I thought. We veered left on our approach to a split rail. A cinch. Only two-six or so. Height (then and now) terrifies me. Drop jumps do too. Inexperience is my middle name when it comes to equestrian sport’ Up and over. Lily jumped big. “This is no Kong Wall, kid,” I muttered under my breath. “Save your energy for what’s ahead.” At that point I was talking more to myself. Lily was fit enough for the 100-mile endurance ride. I hoped I was good for five! We headed right through a small field toward another split rail fence (a drop if only slight) that would land us onto a dirt road, through a small apple orchard for a dead-on approach to a narrow and slightly higher post and rail. I was relaxing now and enjoying the ride. Moody was asking how I was. It was hard to hear him...being six lengths behind. The going was easy over the drop, through the orchard, and over the post and rail, but then I started to clutch all over again. Across the field lay a small, narrow, up-hill coop of average height. It was tricky though, and I had been warned about it when I walked the course. The approach had been very muddy and after several pairs had been over it, I could expect it to be far worse. On arrival I looked and mentally thanked Sally Cunningham or whoever it was that had filled in the muddy rut with gravel and fresh, dry dirt. I took Lily in at a canter and we sailed. This is bliss, I thought. I didn’t want to be anywhere else on earth. We turned right and headed for an in-andout set up just inside the tree line. The coops were set at an angle, so the going slowed, giving me time to relax a bit. After those obstacles, the going got even slower. We were up on Mason now and had to navigate some narrow, slippery trails to get round it. V We were in no hurry. We had entered for optimum time, but Moody and I knew we were just racing for the fun of it...it being my first time out and all. My legs were beginning to fail. I prayed they wouldn’t give out before I finished. We wound around the mountain, descending slowly, and finally arrived at what I call the mule field. Hopping over a little post and rail that barred the mule’s exit when the animal was in residence, we galloped toward the next fence. Tears pouring down my face, I slowed to see a stream up ahead. Just beyond it lay the coop, and just beyond that the steeplechase course. Lily popped the coop and, with ever-weakening muscles, I wound up on her neck.

—Douglas Lees for The Fauquier Dem ocrat RAPPAHANNOCK’S HOUND RACE offers thrills and excitement. Pair Racing Can Be A Trying Experience (Continued from Page 6) “Look at it this way, Sizer, at least you’re still on,” I said to myself. “Onward and upward,kid. You can make it.” Now back on the course, we stuck close to the tree line. It wasn’t so bad going up hill, but coming down the other side was turning my legs to Jello. I reined Lily in, but Moody kept on going. Six lengths separation was one thing. Twenty was another. The next to last fence was another small split rail just after a culvert. Lily popped again and that was it. Three strides and I bought real estate. My father’s words, spoken so often when I was a child, echoed in my mind. “Wendy, why do you insist on learning the hard way?” The lesson is now branded on my brain. I don’t ride in races or foxhunt if I’m unfit. Moody was at my side in a flash, but I told him to go on. He had to race the pair course twice more with other newcomers like myself. Lily high-tailed it off course toward Jim Bill Fletcher’s with Wilbur Shumate in hot pursuit. While I lay face down checking movable or non-movable parts, Clifford Miller drove up, asked if I was all right, and promptly offered me a Scotch and water. “So early in the morning?” I asked. Why argue. With shaky hand I took the drink. Two sips later, Wilbur returned with Lily in tow. He had followed her through a stream and over a coop into Fletcher’s, he said. I tried to get back on and succeeded with effort and not just a little pain. Lily was still in high gear. I remembered a cliche along the lines of “I’d rather be a live coward than a dead hero” and promptly dismounted. After all, the final fence offered additional real estate possibilities with an audience to boot. Saddlery and Fine Riding Apparel Fine Gifts KBCK.INC.

From Top Hats To Calientes Why Call Red Coats Pink? ByANNETINSDALE Democrat Staff Writer One of the most often asked questions by novice race goers, and hunt observers, concerns the description of the hunting coat worn by members of the staff and the gentlemen of the hunt, who usually serve as outriders during point-to-point races. But it is not the only question asked or unasked regarding the attire unique to the sport of foxhunting and its near relative, racing over fences. As these two events become less and less restricted to the “aristocracy” and more a sport For Your Tailgate Parties At The Point-To-Point We Offer Meat & Cheese Party Platters To Suit Your Needs. Beer & Wine Also Available Country Manor Celia Deli Rt. 211-2 miles west of Sperryville 987-8372 for everyone, enjoyed by individuals who have not grown up with it, taking the attire for granted, the need has become apparent for a description, indeed, possibly a defense of this unusual garb. The sport of foxhunting is unique in many ways, not the least being the tradition which surrounds it. Possibly riders could be just as comfortable and well protected wearing casual clothing, rather than the “correct" attire prescribed for a formal hunt. But the traditional clothing worn while foxhunting not only looks handsome, but serves several useful functions. The “pink” hunting jacket, which is actually a scarlet colored wool coat, was so named after a British tailor whose name was Pinque. This coat, as well as the black or navy blue wool hunting jacket worn by the members of the field, was designed not only for warmth, but for protection as well. The heavy, tightly woven cloth is resistant to tears from sharp objects such as tree branches, and the same close weave causes the fabric resist moisture, and of course cold and Charcoal Baaf Houaa, Inc. 203 E. Market St. - Leesburg, Va. Phone (703) 777-1116 “Best Steaks i in Virginia” wind. The color, scarlet, which is worn only by members of the staff and gentlemen riders who have earned their colors, is easily discernible by members of the field who may have the misfortune to become separated, as well as being a sign of authority. On the race course, the scarlet coated outriders are clearly visible to all who may need assistance. The hard hat is standard attire for all mounted foxhunters, with the only difference being the style. A velvet hunt cap with a peak is worn by juniors, (members 18 years of age and under), and also may be worn by members of the staff. All other riders both gentlemen and ladies wear either a reinforced bowler or when hunting in formal attire, a black top hat. These should be well fitting, but not too tight, and should be worn squarely and securely , well down over the forehead. Breeches or jodhpurs are worn by all, fitting closely, but not so tight as to restrict movement. A smooth fit is essential, especially in the area of the inside of the leg, so as not to crease and cause chafing. The soft tailored shirt worn under the jacket is completed with the stock tie, which is fastened with a gold safety pin. In recent years, prefolded and even pre-tied stocks have come on the market, together with stock pins in various attractive designs. These are all very well and good if one plans on wearing this type of outfit just to the hunt breakfast. But the practical reason behind the wearing of the stock, and the safety pin fastener, is its usefulness in an emergency. The stock, which is approximately three feet long and made of linen or a good quality cotton, serves not only to keep the wearer’s neck warm, but in case of a fall or injury to horse or rider, can be used to secure a splint, be made into a tourniquet, or used as a leg bandage, secured with the elegant but simple safety pin.

Here, a review will be made of six horse/rider combinations which have particularly contributed to the success of point-topoint racing in Virginia. This is not a “handicap” of the relative abilities of horses and riders, for it is impossible to compare the merits of competitors from different eras. Rather, this is a review of combinations which have had a special fan appeal, including Logistics/Col.

Nevertheless, Col. de Nadaillac was an unusually competitive rider and Logistics is described by Norton as “a natural ‘lepper’ right from the start.” Col. de Nadaillac hunted Logistics regularly with Potomac Hunt during the 1958-59 season, and Norton recalls that the French officer and the American thoroughbred were particularly busy during the spring of 1959: “In a five-week period that spring,” Ray recalls, “Logistics competed in two horse trials and three point-to-points, and he “win’ them all, and for good measure he went hunting several times between competitions. ” , Well-nigh invincible on the Virginia point-to-point circuit, Logistics won 14 straight races over a two-year span before suffering defeat in the year-end race Savings plus Interest a sure winner cT/e Middleburq National Bank ESTABLISHED 1924 MEMBER F.DIC MIDDLEBURG- VIRGINIA 22117 for point-to-point horses in 1960 at the Middleburg Spring Race Meet.

Virginia gets a little more bone on the horse than Kentucky does. The Blue Grass is hard to beat, but if Virginia had the same number of good mares and good stallions, Virginia would be way ahead. --Marion du Pont Scott Marion duPont Scott could well be called the Grand Dame of Steeplechasing in Virginia, and her dream of Virginia equine superiority could well be on its way to realization with the completion of the first phase and opening of the Marion du Pont Scott Equine Veterinary Medical Center this fall at Morven Park in Leesburg. The equine veterinary center, which is a nugor part of the Virginia/Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, was made possible by this generous and strong willed lady’s contribution of $4,000,000. Mrs. Scott’s achievements in the world of horses are almost as legendary as her determination to win in the face of a challenge, and to have things done the way she saw fit. One of the most impressive of these accomplishments, and perhaps one of the best remembered, is the victory of her little (15.2 hand) horse Battleship in the 1938 Grand National Steeplechase at Aintree, England.

_ —Democrat Staff Photo!Anne Tinsdale THE GREAT MEADOW sleeps peacefully under a blanket of snow. Virginia Gold Cup To Have New Home By ANNE TINSDALE Democrat Staff Writer It was once referred to as a “huge watery crayfish field.” Its new name is The Great Meadow, and its proposed use, beginning in the spring of 1984 or 1985, will include the running of the Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase races and other such prestigious equestrian events. The sweeping 240-acre property along two miles of Routes 17 and 245 is managed by the Meadow Outdoors Foundation, and will be held in perpetual open space for area turf events. A long abandoned nameless farm which had grown up in weed, the property was purchased last year by Arthur W. Arundel, who conceived the idea of a permanent site for area turf sports. Preparation of the proposed course, which began in February 1982, included laying more than 24,000 running feet of drain tile, subsoiling to open the soil 24 inches deep, leveling rises and ditches, heavy discing of the entire course, rock picking, liming, fertilizing, mulching and seading. Finally, the entire 153 acres of raw topsoil was limed, fertilized, culti-mulched and then seeded in a criss-cross pattern. A center course pond has been built, as well as a level paddock and an area for 15 saddling stalls. Initial roads are complete to service future course areas planned for showing and eventing as well as steeplechasing. One of the biggest hurdles overcome in the preparation of the new course was not the physical work involved, but meeting the zoning requirements for a facility of this nature. Final approval came in September 1982, when the Fauquier Board of Supervisors granted a special exception permit, which will be subject to review in three years. At that time changes in the conditions can be made if necessary. Projects in the works include course design, with a team made up of experienced riders, trainers, and veterinarians. Landscape planning which will include tree and shrub planting is proceeding under the direction of Meade Palmer. Construction of a stewards’ stand and underground utilities is scheduled to begin in spring of ’83, with fence construction to follow. A test gallop of the course on the flat at speed, with experienced officials posted, is tentatively planned on the Sunday after the 1983 Gold Cup. Proceeds from events held at the site will go to Fauquier Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squads and community charities. Approved as a tax deductible organization, the Foundation is headed by Chairman Maximilian Tufts of Warrenton. Arthur W. Arundel, of The Plains, who established the new site and Foundation earlier this year, is heading an experienced group designing the course for future steeplechasing and other turf sports. Members of the design board include Mr. Arundel, William H. du Pont, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fleischmann, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Fout, Dr. Rufus Humphrey, Dr. John Mayo, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest M.

Argentine Import Gains Rogue’s Reputation (Continued from Page 11) horse trial is held on his property. Torrance Watkins Fleischmann, renowned event rider, and husband Charley, talented steeplechase rider, keep in contact with the de Nadaillac family. Last fall, the general’s daughter, Stephanie de Soultrait, and husband Eric visited the Fleischmanns at their home in The Plains, enjoying several days of hunting with Orange County, while enabling oldtimers to recall her sporting father and his ‘lepper’, who were the first super stars on the Virginia point-topoint circuit Lenoso An Argentine import with a reputation as a rogue, Lenoso was purchased in 1963 for $1,000 by Arch Kingsley, then of Middleburg, from Edward L. Stephenson of Warrenton. “Somewhere along the line,” says Arch, “Lenoso had been maltreated. His nose had been torn and he had scars about his eyes.” Apparently a man had committed the assault. “Lenoso didn’t like men; fortunately though, I became an exception,” Kingsley adds. Arch is a pilot with United Airlines, and the first time the big powerful bay was mounted, the pilot was thrown sky high. “This was an annual ritual,” Arch recalls. “The first time you’d bring him in from pasture after being turned out all summer, he’d try to throw you. Then, once that was out of his system, he was fine, at least with me, but, generally speaking, Lenoso always preferred women.” He became a quiet, reliable hunter with the Middleburg Hunt and debuted over timber in the owner/rider race at Casanova in 1964, winning easily. This was the first in a streak of five consecutive victories for the year, which gained Arch the Seven Corners Challenge Trophy for foxhunters. The season ended on a sour note, however.

That put him out of action for the entire 1965 season, but he returned in 1966 to win his second of three legs on the Middleburg Bowl. Lenoso’s final win in this important pointto-point came in 1968, when he became the first three-time winner of the Bowl. An extremely bold jumper, Lenoso was a real crowd pleaser, standing far back at many of his fences. He often competed at a disadvantage as well, for Arch is a big man and it was a constant struggle for him to make weight. It was not unusual for Arch to ride 10 or 15 pounds in excess of the 185 pounds assigned in the owner/rider series. Following the tendon injury, Dr. Rufus Humphrey, Arch’s veterinarian and close friend, suggested that Lenosp run in ladies’ races. Kassie Kingsley, Arch’s wife at the time, and leading lady rider in Virginia in the ’60s, rode Lenoso to several wins. Kassie also hunted the timber horse, commenting, “He was a perfect lady’s hunter. He went in a rubber snaffle.” Arch shared Lenoso’s popularity. A native of Pennsylvania, he foxhunted there as a child, but then got away from horses for about 15 years. When his career with United brought him to Virginia, Arch took up riding and hunting once more, in time becoming Joint MFH of the Middleburg Hunt,and then going on to point-to-point racing in the early 1960’s. Lenoso was his third horse, but Arch states that Artist’s Haven, who raced in the mid-1970’s, was his most talented horse. Nevertheless, Lenoso and Arch and Kassie were tops with point-to-point fans, and their presence was a definite as(Continued on Page 15) ARMFIELD PROPERTIES, INC.

Home-Bred Becomes Two-Time Gold Cup Winner continued irom rage 14) set to the growth of point-topoint racing in Virginia. King Of Spades A home-bred, Dr. Joseph M. Rogers’ King of Spades was bred to be a champion over timber fences, and he lived up to this expectation, becoming a five-time winner of the Eustis Cup at Oatlands, and a two-time winner of the Virginia Gold Cup. King of Spades was named Virginia’s Point-to-Point Horse of the Year in 1973, and the intensity of his popularity led to the composition of a ballad in his honor, a ballad frequently played on local radio stations. A 17-hand, near black with a white face, King of Spades was sired by Eugene Weymouth’s Cormac, and he was out of Star Salome. His sire’s racing career had ended in tragedy—while leading the field two fences from home in the 1949 Maryland Hunt Cup, a certain winner short of a fall, he stepped on a bottle, severing a tendon. Corrnac was saved for stud duty, however, and his talented offspring included Mrs. Weymouth’s Burnmac, winner of the Maryland Hunt Cup in 1974, and a full brother to King of Spades.

From One Course To Another A Review Of The Point-To-Point Circuit By SUSAN SUTULA Aii Told To: ANNE TINSDALE Democrat Staff Writer “I don’t think there’s anything I’d rather talk about than racing over fences, especially at this time of year. Springtime, when a young race rider’s fancy turns to speed, over fences, nine weeks in a row, and starts with Casanova. ” With these words, Susan Sutula, leading point-to-point lady rider in Virginia two years in a row, recalled the courses over which she has ridden during that time, from a very privileged and unique point of view, that of the owner-rider.

I don’t ever want to stop racing before I’m finished again. “I can remember thinking,‘I can’t see, and if I can’t see, how can Toofie? And even if he can run without seeing, how can he jump in blinding snow?”’ Rappahannock “Then comes Rappahannock, lovingly tagged ‘Rappa-hang-on’ by some.” Susan cautions. “Anyone suceptible to nose bleeds and altitudes should not ascend Rappahannock’s hills, even to watch. But at speed, and it is a speedier course, ram shorter, that first step is a lulu! But I like it, it’s a down hill racers’ dream. Braver riders make up time going down hill and coast going up. Blue Ridge “Next is Blue Ridge,” continues Susan. “Those folks are serious. No need to ever rebuild fences there. They built them once; they did it right. Most are made from railroad ties and telephone poles. Nobody bothers Blue Ridge fences.” The course, too, has apparently been designed for serious contenders, continues the young rider. “The course meanders. If you draw mental lines from one fence to another, i- - you end up looking like you are sashaying, or zig-zagging, or; drunk. Blue Ridge is one of the most challenging courses. ” Warrenton Susan seems to relax as she recalls the fourth race meet on the schedule. “Warrenton is kind of like a merry-go-round. It’s fun for everyone. Fun to ride. Fun to watch. Up, down, up, dowTn, round and round. “For some reason, the changing of seasons I guess, it’s often soft and muddy going. That slows the racing pace and usually makes it safer because of it. “I sometimes wonder with courses like Warrenton, what spectators think of three mile races run round and round. I’ve been both spectator and rider, and I promise you that it feels faster on a horse than it looks from the ground. But I’ve wondered if spectators wonder, ‘what sort of strategy, if any, is involved?’ I’ve seen new riders go off in a hurry from the start and I’ve had more experienced riders look sideways at me, while the new rider zooms off, kind of winking as if to say: ‘they’ll be back, no hurry...yet’. “ Running three miles is different from running two. And running and jumping is different from just running. The timing is an art some people never acquire,” continues Susan, who obviously has given a lot of thought to the strategy of racing over fences. Piedmont In every kind of competition, there is always that ‘first time’. Susan recalls hers. “The Piedmont race course is a sentimental favorite of mine. It was my first race course. Somehow I placed in that first race. Despite losing a stirrup, having to jump without it, going way wide and wasting ground, and accelerating to fast, too soon. “I was the ‘new kid in town’ then. What did I know? I had a ball. I was hooked. Dr. Joe Rogers came back to the van after that first race to see how the horse and new rider were doing. I was euphoric. He said, ‘That adrenalin you’re running on will last about a week. Then it will be time to race again. And it was.” (Continued on Page 20) "A gourmet shop of fine Wines and Cheeses" •Cheeses •Gourmet meats «Pate •Dried fruits *Fine wines •Smoked salmon 1“ Stack «Mnuf Rt. 50 Middleburg, VA Phone - 687-6833

Cassel Wins Top Award Three Times liyununueu irom rage 10; poor shipper and the plan for transporting him was never carried out. McCoy was rewarded, however, with King of Spades’ 1970 victory in the Gold Cup, Doug Small Jr. the rider and Dr. Rogers his trainer. Spades’ second Gold Cup victory came in 1972 when he ran once again under Dr. Rogers’ colors, Joe Aitcheson the jockey. Dr. Rogers’ greatest satisfaction in hunt racing came with Spades’ success in the Eustis Cup at Oatlands. Dr. Rogers is not only Joint MFH and huntsman of the Loudoun Hunt, sponsor of the Oatlands Point-toPoint, but it was he who founded the race meet in 1967. In 1967 King of Spades won the inaugural running of the Eustis Cup, with Dr. John R. S. Fisher substituting for Dr. Rogers, who was out with an injury. Rogers rode Spades to victory in McCoy’s silks in the 1970 race, and after reverting to his ownership Spades won the point-topoint classic in 1971, ’72 (Russell Jones up) and ’73, the latter being the most thrilling of all Eustis Cups. Fourteen at the time, King of Spades led in the 1973 race for most of the four-mile route, jumping brilliantly. Dr. Rogers, in the twilight of a career as a race rider which spanned three decades, was equally impressive. When the pair galloped up the long uphill stretch that day, they were greeted with genuine affection, with one of the most vocal and emotional receptions that this writer has ever witnessed in horse racing. King of Spades’ life ended tragically, however, and doubly so, as his owner was unfortunate enough to witness his horrible end. Turned out at the Rogers’ farm near Hamilton during the summer following his brilliant victory, Spades and several other horses were galloping adjacent to a fenceline. Forced against the fencing by the other horses, he ran into a sprung rail which jammed into his chest, causing his untimely death. Never Delay In 1972 Patti Cassel purchased a five-year-old brown thoroughbred for $500. The 16hand mare was in poor shape at the time, and Patti recalls, “she was light in flesh, her feet were terrible and one hock was puffy, but she moved like a Cadillac.” After nursing her back to health, Patti took Never Delay out with the Bull Run Hunt, where they caught the eye of Mrs. Richard K. Jones, MFH, and Wally Dennis, whipper-in. These ladies enjoyed riding in point-to-points, and they planted the idea that Never Delay was a race prospect. Her appetite for racing whetted by winning a hunter pace event, in 1973 Patti and Never Dfclay debuted in the ladies’ timber race at Casanova. Patti reminisces, “We were in contention at the last fence, in fact I thought we’d win. I asked Middleburg Millwork Inc. • A complete line of building supplies • Specializing in custom millwork (703)687-6318 106 South Madison St. Middleburg, Va. Never Delay for a big jump, but it didn’t work. Never Delay got in close, hooked the fence and turned over. I cracked several ribs, and Never Delay gashed her leg. That did it for the year.” The following summer saw the pair competing in local shows, hunter trials, and combined training events. In the fall they hunted regularly, and appeared on Hunt Night at the Washington International, earning a call back following the 70 member filled hunter class. 1974 and ’75 saw Never Delay raced lightly, two races each season. “I fell off her in a race at Middleburg,” Patti recalls, “but we got around in the other starts, and we were third and fourth. Most important, Never Delay and I were learning what racing was all about, and the other riders, trainers and race followers were a big help to me in everyway.” In 1976 Never Delay won five races, earning Patti her first Lady Rider of the Year award, a recognition which was repeated in 1977 and 1978. Never Delay accumulated a total of 15 career wins, and outgoing and enthusiastic Patti won the admiration of point-to-point fans. A native of Fairfax, Patti now calls a small Waterford farm home, from which she commutes daily to her job with the phone company at Tyson’s Comers. Never Delay has had one foal, and she and Patti continue to enjoy trail rides and fox hunting. Somehow, Patti also manages (Continued on Page 18) VALUED ^POSSESSIONS DESERVE -PROFESSIONAL _ PROTECTION • CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION • PERIMETER SECURITY • FIRE DETECTION • RESIDENCE SECURITY • AUTOMATED GATE SYSTEMS • TRAFFIC MONITORING • TRAINING & SUPERVISION OF SECURITY PERSONNEL • DESIGN - INSTALLATION • MAINTENANCE • REFERENCES.

Here Comes *Bird’ Familiar Cry At Races (Continued from Page 17) to find time to condition two other horses for the upcoming season, Splashy Lea, who broke her maiden over fences at Old Dominion in 1982, and Mystical Mirror, who raced over hurdles in the same year. Boca Bird “Here comes the ‘Bird’!” has been a familiar exclamation by spectators at point-to-points in Virginia for nearly a decade. The subject of the cheer is Roy Graham’s Boca Bird. The 16-year-old ‘Bird’, embarking upon his 10th year of racing, enjoys loafing early in the race, then gaining momentum, with his move to the front accompanied by cheers from his legion of fans. Boca Bird’s owner and rider “Tennessee” Graham, now 42, is equally popular. A native of Nashville, Roy rode gaited horses in his youth. Stationed in Northern Virginia while in the Army, it was there that he met his wife, Anne, as well as being introduced to thoroughbred horses. —Democrat Staff Photo!Anne Tinsdale CURRENT STAR of the point-to-point circuit is Randy Rouse’s Cinzano. [ Solid Brass Cap & Whip Keychain $18.50 from - Old English Brass at k High Horse Keyed Up??^ 5 Washington St. Middleburg, VA 687-5634 The Grahams have been married for 22 years, and Roy has been riding races throughout this time, with support from Anne and sons Troy, a Marine stationed in San Diego, and Kevin, who works on the Graham farm near Areola. Of Roy’s early race riding, Anne reminisces, “Roy used to wait by the phone on Friday nights, and sometimes it would ring with the message, ‘Hey, I got a real nice horse for you to PROFESSIONAL SALES AND SERVICE FOR YOU Mercedes-Benz AND l TOYOTA J BY "The People Who Ore About You and Your Automobile" WINCHESTER TOYOTA 1835 Valley Ave., Winchester, Va. 22601 667-9200 •Fine Selection of New Mercedes In Stock •Factory Parts & Accessories Factory Trained Mechanics ride tomorrow.’ Well, lots of times those ‘real nice horses’ couldn’t jump or they were rogues that no one else would get on. Yes, there was disappointment, to say nothing of falls, before things changed for the better.” Anne recalls that Roy always had the support and friendship of Tommy Jones Sr., their next door neighbor at the time, and father of Bird’s trainer, Tommy Lee Jones. In 1973 “Tennessee” purchased Boca Bird from the Jerry Sauniers, the parents of one time race rider Bonnie Beach. ‘Bird’ had been running at the flat tracks, but far too slowly to earn his keep. Finding the hunting field far more to his liking, he has served through the years as a two day a week hunter for Roy, who is an honorary whipper-in for the Fairfax Hunt. “he’s the best hunter ever. He’s so quiet that you could shoot a pistol off between his ears and he wouldn’t twitch. And he’s got hound sense, and he’ll even tell you where the fox is. ‘Bird’s’ a consistent bold jumper, and he has stamina to hunt all day.” Commencing his point-topoint career in 1974, Boca Bird has been placed in training right after the first of each year, when he is vanned to Tommy Lee Jones’ farm near Warrenton. The ‘Bird’ often runs eight or nine times during the nine-week season. “Once the season starts,” Tommy Lee says, “we don’t do much with him during the week. He seems to know when Saturdays arrive, his day to run.” ‘Tennessee” adds that Boca Bird does better when he runs every week. “Last year we gave him a day off at Old Dominion, and he ran like a dog the following week at Oatlands, but came back the next Saturday to win at Fairfax. It’s like he gets insulted if you keep him home, and I guess he says to himself, ‘Okay, I’ll show them!”’ “Now, don’t ask me how many races ‘Bird’ has won,” cautions Roy, “must be more than a dozen, and I’d say that he’s been in the money at least 75 per cent of the time.” Boca Bird and “Tennessee” Graham have captured the admiration and support of fans, both old and young, but particularly of children. Following a winning race Roy’s entourage resembles the Pied Piper. And in 1974 when the pair won the Eustis Cup, the post race reception rivaled the excitement generated by King of Spades the previous year. Then in 1980 Boca Bird’s season-long consistency won Roy the Seven Comers Challenge Trophy, and himself the ultimate honor as Horse of the Year on the Virginia Point-to-Point Circuit. Last year Roy was sidelined with injuries following a fall from Man of Rythm in the snow at Casanova, and ‘Bird’ switched his talents to the ladies’ races. Ridden by Hilary Thompson and Ready Snodgrass, ‘Bird’ seemed to appreciate carrying 145 pounds, 40 less than his usual assignment in the Seven Corners series. He reciprocated by winning at Warrenton, Middleburg, and Fairfax. In 1983 ‘Bird’ will again concentrate on the ladies’ races, and while Man of Rythm recovers from injuries sustained in last year’s Gold Cup, Tennessee will sit out this season. In summing up his best friend, Roy comments, “There might be better horses than ‘Bird’, but there will never be a greater horse.” Cinzano During the past two decades, Randy Rouse, MFH Fairfax Hunt, has had many excellent point-to-point horses, among them Twin Peaks, Buen Paisano, Quashed, Free Movement and Cousin Wes, who were responsible for his domination of the Seven Corners series for 10 of the past 16 years. But Randy’s current horse Cinzano is far and away his best race horse. A big bay with immense, ground consuming strides, Cinzano is a native of Uruguay where he was a champion threeyear-old, the winner of nine races. At four Cinzano was purchased for $81,000 and imported into the U.S., along with the (Continued on Page 19) • Horse Facilities • Arenas • Farm Buildings • Commercial • Storage • Cottages Over 30 years experience of building the best in post frame buildings Call tor FREE estimate Iff BONANZA BUILDINGS Umbaugh Building Company Horse facilities - our specialty Ht. 2, Box 63, Purcellville, Va.

- Ringer’ Turns Into Top Steeplechaser (Continued from Page 18) $2,000 Lebon, who resembled the champion. Shortly after their arrival in New York it was reported that Cinzano was dead, the victim of a crushed skull in a freak accident, and an insurance claim of $150,000 was filed. Subsequently “Lebon” ran poorly in a race at Belmont Park, New York, in September 1977, but 14 days later came back to win another race by four lengths at 57-1. Dr. Mark Gerard, a prominent veterinarian who had engineered the purchase of both horses, was witnessed cashing $75,000 in wagers on “Lebon”. Investigation proved that Cinzano had run in his look-alike’s name, and in fact it was Lebon who had been destroyed. Gerard was sentenced to jail and Cinzano outlawed from recognized horse racing, including steeplechase races under the auspices of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, due to a ruling which prohibits a horse which has run as a ringer from competing under rules as a thoroughbred. In the summer of 1979 Cinzano found his way to Don Yovanovich’s bam near Middleburg where he was schooled over fences under Den’s capable hands. Don foxhunted Cinzano with the Piedmont Fox Hounds and in the spring of 1980 he debuted him over hurdles at the Piedmont meet, in the name of. David Denise of New Jersey. Not surprisingly he jumped like a green horse, finishing far back. In his next start, however, later in the spring at Oatlands, he was an easy winner under William Martin. In December of that same year Randy Rouse purchased Cinzano, and the one time ringer ' served as the Master’s mount for the remainder of the hunting season. Then in the spring of 1981 Cinzano won four timber races for his new owner, all with ridiculous ease. In 1982 he continued his unbeaten streak over timber, adding five more wins, and the Seven Comers crown for Randy two years in a row. 1982 also saw him capture Horse of the Year honors on the Virginia circuit. Randy has made efforts to have Cinzano reinstated for recognized racing. He argues, quite . logically, that the courts of law " have substantiated that Cinzano - is indeed Cinzano, and that a ' horse should not be punished for _ the ruthless acts of man. So far, £ these efforts have been to no avail, and Cinzano’s racing efforts —Robert McClanahan for The Fauquier Democrat RECORD THREE-TIME WINNER of the Middle burg Bowl, Arch Kingsley and Lenoso lead the field during the 1966 race ahead, of Randy Rouse on Turin Peaks and Harry Semmes on Sun Castle. are confined to point-to-points. On Jan. 27, perennial bachelor Rouse married Michelle O’Brien, another Fairfax foxhunter, and the couple honeymooned in Ireland, where Randy annually preps for the racing season with a concentrated foxhunting tour. Meanwhile, Cinzano has been a regular visitor to the Middleburg Training Track for gallops and works, and at Casanova on Feb. 26, the pair will attempt to win the Casanova Cup once again. All told, Randy has retired the cup four times. There is no questioning the fact that Randy Rouse, now in his mid-sixties, has done more for point-to-point racing in Virginia through the years than any other competitor. Thomas B.

High Stakes Always A Part Of Sanctioned Meets (Continued from Page 8) mid-nineteenth century in the United States. In 1844, in Hoboken, New Jersey, the first recorded jumping race was held, at the Hoboken track. The track, owned by a Mr. C.S. Browning was used for trotting, but this new race was in heats, with four 4-foot hurdles to be jumped in each heat, apparently akin to what we know as show jumping today, as riders jump against the clock. These races were held for two years in a row, until the death of Mr. Browning in 1845 caused them to cease. For the next few years, similar races were held in various places, including the “ fashionable resort” at Fauquier White Sulpher Springs. These were reported to have lasted from 1846 to 1849, and were run over a one-mile course with two ditches and two stiff five-foot fences described as hurdles, as reported in the Washington, D.C. National Intelligencer. On November 10, 1865, four horses ran over fences at Lincoln, Mass., and according to the Boston Post, November 11, 1865: “Steeplechasing has hitherto been considered an exclusively English sport, but we are glad to know that through the exertions of some of our first citizens who have taken to breeding thoroughbred horses, that peculiarity of racing is being introduced into this country, and With the aid of several gentlemen from Canada the first steeplechase of any note ever witnessed in this part of the • Pole Barns • Run-In-Sheds • Remodeling • Additions “Preserving Virginia Tradition” SCOTT GREGORY The Plains Casanova See Scott or Joe 703/253-5642 703/347-7713 Our Hearths Are Ablaze For Your Added Comfort WINDSOR HOUSE English Restaurant 81 Pub. • Lunch • Cocktails • Dinner At the “blinking” light - Middleburg, Va.

Several hundred ladies and gentlemen were present and in spite of raw weather, there were no accidents.” Steeplechasing was catching on. By 1869 a $25 sweepstake with $1000 added inaugurated steeplechasing at Jerome Park, and the first steeplechase at Pimlico was held on October 28, 1873. As the popularity of racing over fences grew at the flat tracks, so did the hunts take notice. In 1882 the Myopia Hunt Club put on a steeplechase meeting, and in 1883 the Meadow Brook Hunt Club followed suit. In the spring of 1884, the inaugural running of the Great Long Island Steeplechase, an imitator of the Grand National at Aintree, England, was held, and the first Maryland Hunt Cup was contested in 1894. As the popularity of racing over fences grew with the huntsponsored meets, run strictly by amateurs, so did the professional meets go into a decline, with purses growing ever smaller. It became obvious that if steeplechasing was to prosper on a professional level, some method of organization was needed. In the latter part of the 19th century, to fill this need, the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association was formed by August Belmont II. One of the most important differences between point-topoint races and the sanctioned meets,in addition to their structural differences, is in the amount of the purses. Few pointto-point races offer anything in the way of awards other than a trophy, a handsome trophy, but still, just a trophy. On the other hand the sanctioned meets offer purses of great value, in addition to the prestige of a trophy. On the spring racing circuit in Virginia there are « four sanctioned meets, two of which are important local events.

And then on May 7, the traditional first Saturday in May, the Virginia Gold Cup is run, on the Broadview Course near Warrenton. The caliber of the horses competing in both of these events is high, and whether it be simply two foxhunters challenging each other to a match, or the professionals who earn their livelihood in the raising and training and running of horses, horse racing is still a sport. It may also be an industry, but as Frances Rowe,. well known horsewoman, so succinctly phrased it recently, “This is a sporting industry.” A new race has been added to the card of the Middleburg meet, the Foxhunters Bowl, which will be an unsanctioned race, strictly for foxhunters who have hunted fairly throughout the season, and have won at least, one other race during the point-to-point season. The purse will be donated to the hunt which is represented by the winner, with a trophy going to both the owner of the winner, and the represented hunt. The organizers of the Middleburg Spring Race Meet have announced that there will be a full program not only of racing, but other activities as well which are planned to provide entertainment throughout the day for the whole family. The course at Middleburg is excellent from the spectators’ point of view, with a good vantage point for practically every fence, and excellent reserved parking. General admission seats will be available in the formerly restricted area of the grandstand. The Virginia Gold Cup, which this year will be run on May 7, is more than just a horse race. The Gold Cup is a tradition. Everything in and around Warrenton, comes if not to a screeching halt then to a slow slide on that day in May. The hillsides overlooking the course begin to fill up early, with picnickers who come great distances, just to say they have been to the Gold Cup. It’s a special place to be, Virginia during the spring racing season. One doesn’t have to know a whole lot about horses to revel in the beauty of these great ones sailing over fence after fence. Point-to-Point Circuit Reviewed (Continued from Page 16) Middleburg Susan went on to describe another first. “Middleburg is another sentimental favorite of mine. It was my first win. There I learned patience at speed. Having the flu may have helped. I sat very quietly, content to let the others set the pace. I really played that one by ear...and a stuffed up head. But it sure feels good when you do it right.” Old Dominion By the time the 1982 Old Dominion Point-to-Point rolled around, Susan was becoming a seasoned race rider, developing strategy, learning the courses, seeking new challenges. “The Old Dominion course is similar to Warrenton.. .up, down, up, down, round and round. But it’s shorter, run a little faster, with the fences in clusters, and long stretches to run in between groups of fences to jump. “I had two races last year at Old Dominion, my usual ladies timber race with my bulldozer Banachek, and an overnight change to an open timber race on a horse named Garden Games. My parents, who are not at all horsey, and at a loss to explain how their daughter became so, came to watch. They were enthralled. They watched me take an unexpected second (they expected me to win), in the ladies race, and saw me heartily congratulate the winner, my friend Patti Cassel. Then they watched me take an unexpected win, against the men, professionals and amateurs, on a strange horse, who had to be led kicking and jumping in place, to the start. “My only instruction from the owner before the race was to win, and from the trainer who suggested that I leave him alone at his fences...I’d ‘feel the horse pull me into them.’ Oh,how true! The horse was a brute. Who was I to argue?! It was a wonderful experience and happened to work out in my favor, against a group of different riders. They did not let me win, they just never expected me to.” Susan paused in her review of the courses to make some further (Continued on Page 21) I > > ► ► > \ ) > > \ LONGVIEW OVERLOOKING THE NEW VIRGINIA GOLD CUP RACE COURSE A handsomely developed horse farm in the Orange County Hunt territory.

Strategy Is Not Always Essential —Democrat Staff Photo!Lee Galleher OLD DOMINION HOUNDS provide entertainment at the races. (Continued from Page 20) observations on the value of strategy: “Sometimes I think point-to-pointing has replaced throwing Christians to the lions. Sometimes I think, ‘who needs strategy, whoever lives, wins!’ But I plan strategy for every race. Even though plans A and B can change, depending on what other riders’ plans A and B are. I usually run, first, according to how my horse feels, and next, according to how I think the others are going to run. Strategy can change right between fences. Thinking at speed is another art essential to survival, let alone winning a race.” Fairfax Just when she began to think how smoothly everything was coming together, Susan discovered another, unique challenge. She recalls, “Now, Fairfax presents a challenge not easily discernable to all. I remember the first time my neighbor and racing coach walked the Fairfax course with me. We met at the appointed time, got out of our cars and started walking. In opposite directions. ‘“Where are you going?’ said I. ‘I’m walking the course,’ said he. ‘But you’re going the wrong way,’ I said. ‘They run it this way,’ he said, walking further away, in the wrong direction. “My gut reaction was panic. ‘I can’t do it this way. Toofie can’t do it this way...can he? Has Toofie ever done it this way?’ I babbled, trying to catch up. But he did it and very well.” Oatlands The interviewer perceives a certain wistfulness as the two time leading lady rider nears the end of her recollections. Mixed emotions seem to surface as she describes the last race on the circuit, Oatlands. “That’s difficult for me for several reasons. Nine weeks in a row is grueling, on horses and riders. To have the riders’ titles decided in your own court may seem like an advantage. In football maybe, but when the home court is one of the roughest to play on, it’s a bit more difficult. “Save the worst for last and all that. One thing that makes Oatlands difficult is that the fences change height, many being straingt up and down, and airy . The worst ones are out of sight of the spectators and the picnickers.

Gone from the calendar like they were never there. And then the owner of the barn I lease reminds me, having watched my winter antics with obvious enjoyment, just how long it takes to prepare for so fleeting but worthwhile a sport. The owner has watched with amusement as my interest in racing has turned to addiction level these past few years. He says, ‘Anyone can be a leading owner-rider. All you have to do is spend 18 hours a day or more with your horse.’ I fear he only slightly exaggerates.” Editor's note: The a bore chronological order ukis based on previous point-to-point seasons.

It used to be that when one got“dressed up”, gloves were an integral item of attire. Nowadays, they seem to be worn only in cold weather. Gloves not only complete the rider’s outfit by lending a finished look; the wearing of the correct type of gloves can become a safety factor, just as each of the above listed items. Brown leather provides perhaps the most protection from scratches by overhanging branches, insect stings, etc., as well as blisters, when one has not been riding every day or so. But, ordinary white string gloves can possibly become the most valuable, especially in the rain, or if the weather should turn unseasonably warm. Moisture on the reins in the form of either rain or perspiration will make them extremely slippery and almost impossible to hold. White cotton string gloves, with their absorbency, come to the rescue here. And last but not least, the footwear. Knee high black boots are de rigueur for all foxhunters who have graduated beyond childhood. And they too serve a useful purpose^,protection, once again.The sturdy leather protects against sharp objects, and offers support in the ankle area. Foxhunting and racing over fences are not sports for the faint hearted. Along with adventure and excitement, they are full of hazards. But these hazards are (Continued on Page 23) GWSOfi t?

Hunting, Racing Offer Opportunity For Elegant Attire ' (Continued from Page 22) part of what contributes to the adventure and excitement, and so must be dealt with in order to avoid as much as possible iryury to rider or horse. The two sports also offer an opportunity for elegance, an observance of the amenities, correctness, and manners, in an age where these qualities have been all but forgotten. In the fall, and on into the winter, when one is driving along a road in hunting country, a field of foxhunters, following an elegantly dressed huntsman, and his handsome pack of hounds, hot on the scent of a fox, may cross his path, and he will stop and look and enjoy. Perhaps he will take a step back in time, refreshing himself from the hectic pace of contemporary living, enjoying the colorful sight of scarlet coats, polished leather, and gleaming fit horses. Perhaps later on, he too,will join the many thousands of spectators who gather each spring to cheer their favorite hunters on at the annual point-to-point races. Racing attire, although colorful, differs somewhat dramatically from that worn in "the hunting field. Although many riders competing in the point-to - points, especially those in the hunter pace events and junior races, still choose to ride wearing standard hunting attire, most race riders have elected to don racing silks. The reason for this developed as the point-to-points graduated from their old fashioned status to the more structured and sophisticatd races, with many of the owners also maintaining professional stables of steeplechase and race horses.Therefore, official racing colors are often worn. No two stables have the same colors, as each combination of color and design must be approved through a complex process by The Jockey Club, the organization which establishes the rules for thoroughbred racing. Many of the riders will be seen wearing these official colors State Bank of Remington We Want to be Your Bank Remington—439-3233 Catlett—788-9001 Bealeton—439-3249 Member F.D.I.C. & Federal Reserve System in the form of racing silks, which because of the necessity of maintaining minimum weights, add the least amount of weight. Riders may also be seen wearing hand knit sweaters in the stable’s colors. Leather riding boots are also a standard part of the race rider’s attire, but these will be, again in the interest of weight, of a lighter quality, but still designed to offer as much protection as possible, as well as close contact with the horse. But all race riders, whether they be professional jockeys or amateur owner-riders, wear a racing caliente. The caliente is the crash helmet of equestrian sports, designed to withstand great pressure—as when falling at speed. It is stronger and heavier than a hard hat, constructed with a space between the roof of the helmet and the top of the head. Newer models give greater protection at the nape of the neck and above the ears. The caliente is securely affixed to the rider’s head by a chin harness. A silk covering with a flexible peak, also in the stable colors, is usually added to the caliente, to complete the outfit. Race goers too can be found displaying some of the most elegant costumes this side of Henri Bendel’s or Neiman Marcus. From mink and ultra suede at the beginning of the season, to silk and colorful cottons as the first Saturday in May approaches, the racing scene in Virginia is as much an adventure in fashion as it is an exciting sport.

Equine Med Center Opens (Continued from Page 12) win what even today continues to be the most difficult of steeplechases, but also the first American horse to win that event. Her achievements as a horse breeder are equally as impressive as her successes as owner and trainer. At least 53 stakes winners have been bred and trained at Montpelier, winning more than $5,000,000. Here too, at her magnificent estate in Orange County, Mrs. Scott followed her belief that the love of sport knows no class lines. Here each fall the Montpelier Races are held, with the gates open to the public at no cost so that all may share with her the exciting adventure of racing over fences. Her dream too of Virginia equine superiority did not end with breeding fine race horses. It was much broader in context than that. In a state with such potential for this superiority, Mrs. Scott was very much aware of the importance and need for a superior veterinary facility, as well as research and teaching center. But, characteristically, in making the contribution to build the center on the 200 acres donated by the Westmoreland Davis Foundation at Morven Park, Mrs. Scott challenged Virginians to show their support of the Virginia/Maryland Regional Veterinary College and match her contribution, by at least half. lms they have done with more than $2,500,000 having been raised to date toward an $8,000,000 goal set at the beginning of a full scale campaign in the fall of 1982. Spring 1983 is targeted as the date for fulfillment of that goal. The initial phase of construction at the Marion duPont Scott center will provide patient housing for 30 horses (with a projected stall capacity of 100 expected upon completion of the next phase) and clinical facilities for examinations and special procedures, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, intensive care, radiology, physical therapy and pathology. In addition to the reception and administrative area, there will be a pharmacy, seminar rooms and a library. When complete, the facility will have a resident staff and faculty of approximately 30, and will be linked by computer to the teaching hospital on the campus in Blacksburg. Specialists in Blacksburg and the University of Maryland will be on hand for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures there.
