How can the grandeur of this scenic area be preserved from excessive governmental regulation? These questions are the essence of a public meeting to be held September 21 at the Rappahannock County Library. The two-part program is sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP). It begins at 7:30 p.m., and is offered at no charge to the public, David Chuse announces. . “The Coming of the Gypsy Moth” is Part I, which features the film, “Gypsy Moth - A Dilemma.” Hie film will complement an up-to-date report by Tom Finn on the advance of the gypsy moth into Virginia, what has happened in Loudoun County this summer in learning how to handle this insect, and the problems the gypsy moth creates for trees and people. Mr. Finn is from the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and is involved firsthand in the Virginia campaign to control the gypsy moth. RLEP invites attendees to come prepared with questions for Mr. Finn; the discussion will include measures that can be taken to minimize the problem in Rappahannock. Frank Reynolds, local resident and attorney for the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) in Warrenton, will present an overview of PEC’s new working concept for rural land conservation, the "Virginia Piedmont Reserve.” According to PEC president and local resident, Robert Dennis, the concept stresses voluntary cooperation of private landowners to protect “public values ranging from water supply to open space” in a large area of the Virginia Piedmont, including Rappidiannock. “It would be of such scale and permanence as to be depicted on maps and marked with highway signs...It would be an area where land is treated as a resource, not a commodity,” Mr. Dennis said. RLEP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of Rappahannock’s rural and small-town environment.

First Woman In Virginia Patricia Vest Is Named cee Pres. By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New. SUIT Writer the 1950’s, Washington became first ’‘all women” town council. On Thursday, September 13, there was another first for women as the Rappahannock County Jaycees elected the first Woman president of a Jaycee chapter in Virginia. Patricia Vest of Washington was sworn into her new office Sunday, September 16, by Tommy Todd, the U.S. president of the Jaycees, who flew in from the Jaycees U.S. headquarters in Tulsa, Okla. The swearing-in ceremony was held at the Twin Bridges Marriott in Washington, D.C. “They called me on Saturday and invited me to attend the executive board meeting combined with a reception for the Dixie States, but I didn’t know that I was going to have to get up in firont of those people,” Vest said. “I think that they wanted to show everyone that they’re not upset about the Supreme Court ruling.” a of the national news with the Vest was referring to the Supreme Court decision this summer that the Jaycees could no longer keep their male and female organizations separated. “The organizations don’t have to combine, but now they can if they want to,” Vest said. Vest is excited about her new office, and about what the new Jaycee chapter in Rappahannock can accomplish. “I’m really proud of the organization,” said Vest. “I think that we’ve got a good group of people, and that we'll get a lot done.” The September 13 meeting was the Rappahannock Jaycees’ second meeting since the local chapter formed in August. The group is planning to sell apples and hold a raffle in the near future. There are also plans for a haunted house or Halloween party, and for a Christmas-toy workshop to collect toys and distribute them to needy children. The chapter has 23 members and is conducting a membership drive. “We need to get more people,” Vest said.

Parents who visited gathered first in the gymnasium, where Principal Maggie Piper welcomed the group before introducing the elementary school staff. Teachers and support staff then went to their classrooms and offices, where each greeted parents and pupils while they toured the building. Among the highlights of the tour: the school’s reading and math labs, new computers and new band room. All rooms and offices were open to the public. Back-to-School night concluded in the gymnasium, where pastries and refreshments were served during a 20minute “social.” News PttofeVJane Bangley Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan were honored by Mrs. Dale Metzinger (c) at the special ceremony. Carrigan Honored For Service, Patriotism By JANE BANGLEY Ba»»ahaaaock Nm SUIT Writer The Medal of Honor is the highest honor that the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) can give to an individual. On Sunday, September 16, the Culpeper Minute Mai Chapter of the DAR surprised William Carrigan by bestowing the honor on him. About 35 people watched as Mr. Carrigan received the award at the Rappahannock County Library. It was a fitting place to hold the ceremony since Mr. Carrigan was instrumental in organizing and establishing the library. Besides his work for the library, Mr. Carrigan is widely known for his Fourth of July celebrations. For 28 years, the people of Rappahannock have been invited to celebrate the fourth at Avon Hall with Mr. Carrigan and his wife Ramona. Avon Hall, located in Washington, is actually the Carrigans’ second home. The Carrigans live in Kensington, Md., but come to Avon Hall every weekend. Mr. Carrigan’s weekends have been busy since he bought Avon Hall around 1960. In addition to establishing the library and organizing the Fourth of July festivities, he has also helped to create the Rappahannock County Historical Society, headed a local committee to create a time capsule filled with information about Rappahannock County and located at the library, and provided a place for the Catholic Mission and the Family Worship Cei^er to hold services. . (Continued on Page 4) Town Council Discusses Sewage-Disposal Ordinance By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New. Staff Writer The proposed sewage disposal system ordinance, designed to protect the Town of Washington’s water supply system and to prevent water pollution was discussed by the Town Council on September 12.' The council expressed its concern over possible waste water infiltration, and the effects that such infiltration could have on the water supply. The proposed ordinance would require that anyone wishing to build within a five mile radius of the Town of Washington would have to submit an application to the Town Council. Council members raised questions over the proposed five-mile-radius clause, whidi would encompass about 80 square miles, the application fee of $260, and about whether or not the Town Council should get involved with checking the systems. “You don’t understand the furor this is going to create when you start surveying for somebody five miles down the road, charging them $20 per day or a $10 fee,” said council member Newbill Miller. The 80-square-mile area was considered by some members to be too large for the Town Council to attempt to regulate. Council member Wallace Critter questioned the need for regulation by the council. “Doesn’t the Health Department do that?” Critzer asked. “Maybe I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” “We’re talking about protecting the water supply,” replied Mayor Peter Kramer. Kramer pointed out that there were some exemptions. “I’m talking about exempting existing septic systems, and single family septic systems that are on five acre lots or mare.” Council member Bill Wickens defended the proposed ordinance. “As the pressures of development on thin county mount, and this county starts to slowly sink the way of Prince William County, then we’d have the cost of putting in a water system as many communities have had to do,” Wickens said. “After they have growth and development all of a sudden the piper has to be paid, and you have not only a sewage plant that you have to put in, but you have to put in a water filtration system along with the costs that go with that.” Wickens indicated that, human waste was not the only concern of the future, but chemical wastes as well. “This protects a fair proportion of our county, protects our town and protects our people,” said Wickens. “On the fee, I’d absolutely agree if we decided to charge everybody a dollar, or do it on an actual cost basis or waive the fee and charge the big developments enough to cover the small homeowner.” Mayor Kramer appointed Treasurer Brad Fisher and Critier to a committee to study the questions raised. “I guess that it would be helpftil to take a county map and block out what the five mile radius is, and maybe take a look at the zoning map to get some feeling of how many lots are in there that might be affected by the ordinance,” Kramer said. “I think that if you can take a look at that and see what we’re up against, maybe there is a way to modify it down to the thing that we Vs realty concerned about,” continued Khumt. Another proposed ordinance dincussed by council during ha meeting was the historic district ordinance. (Continued on Page 14)

Pegasus Lands In Flint Hill By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Pegasus, the University of Virgini - life support helicopter, landed in ■it Hill on September 13. There was no emergency; instead, hi helicopter landing was part of p real ation for an emergency. A seminar held on how local rescue squads i'. contact the rescue helicopter, !■ uld patients require the faster importation to a hospital that Pegai 'an provide. The seminar, held at the Flint Hill ■ Department, was sponsored by Rappahannock County Fire and '(•ue Association and the RappahanA Uapidan EMS (Emergency MediService) Council. Named for the flying horse of reek mythology, Pegasus is operated .the University of Virginia Medical Voter in Charlottesville. The heliliter was named after Pegasus bei me the flying horse was the Roman v inhol of life. “UVa felt that there was a need for the helicopter service since a prolonged time to get to a hospital increases the hospital stay for the patient,” said Phillip Mortensen, the director of Pegasus. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for critically ill or injured patients. “Primarily we hope that the seminars will be informative, and will teach the rescue squad personnel how to gain access to the helicopter, what the needs are for a landing site, patient criteria and helicopter safety,” Mortensen said. Pegasus can respond to emergencies within a 70-mile radius, and will make inter-hospital transports throughout the state and surrounding regions. “One of the most important things about Pegasus for this area is that Pegasus makes on-site rescues, and Washington, D.C.’s Med-Star helicopter will only meet trauma patients at the nearest hospital,” said Eric Thorson, the field coordinator for the Rappahannock- Rapidan EMS Council. The helicopter went into service on September first, and it has already been used five times in the planning district in Culpeper County and Madison County,” Thorson said. Fifty-two fire and rescue personnel, deputies and police officers participated in the Flint Hill seminar to become familiar with the helicopter and its uses. There are five senior nurses and five EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) paramedics included in the Pegasus crew. “Louis Jenkins of Madison County Rescue Squad is now a paramedic for Pegasus,” Thorson said. The crew has extensive aeromedical and safety training that includes cardiac, trauma, bum and pediatric emergency care. One paramedic and one nurse fly with the helicopter at all times, and a physician can be contacted by radio if needed. 1 >AR Sponsors ‘Constitution Week’ New* Photo/Jawe Bangley Pegasus lands at Flint Hill Fifty-two rescue personnel took part in the seminar.

Corrections In a report on the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) meeting of August 22, Zoning Administrator David Konick was misquoted while responding to a complaint of a possible zoning ordinance violation. The text of his remarks, according to the BZA transcript, reads: “...there’s been some mention of the fact that' Ms. Saltonstall’s attorney says I,, can’t come qn the property to make an inspection, and, frankly, I don’t blame them, because there isn’t any basis for me at this point in time to believe that she’s violating the zoning ordinance. She’s perfectly free to build whatever she wants, arrange it however she wants with as many bathrooms, as many electric meters; and I have said this before The Talleys To Perform The unique and versatile style of The Talleys lends a fresh and exciting dimension to gospel music and they will be performing at the Culpeper Assembly of God on Chestnut Drive in Culpeper on Saturday, September 22 at 7 p.m. The family consists of Kirk Talley, his brother, Roger and Roger’s wife, Debra.

Should Rappahannock’s Proposed < j Zoning Ordinance Be Tabled? Ronald Frasier of AmiaaviDe and Newbfll Miller of Washington agreed to thia interview provided readers know the opinions expressed here are their own. Both have researched coning firsthand: Frasier recently was appointed temporary chairman of the Rappahannock Public Action Committee (RPAC); Miller is a member of the Planning I Commission and serves as chairman for the planners in regard to the proposed soning Ron Frazier “lea. The proposed ordinance is not a revision of the *73 Ortbnance. ** First, I’d like to say that I approve of good zoning. I used to live where a Monsanto plant was adjacent to a residential area. There was industrial and residential development on top of one another. It was a mess. But, for several reasons, I don’t think Rappahannock needs this new, proposed zoning ordif nance. I think instead county officials and citizens should work together to revise the 1973 Zoning Ordinance where necessary. My reasons for this are as follows: • The ’73 ordinance is known. With it’s good provisions and its bad provisions, the people of Rappahannock know this ordinance. The proposed ordinance amfthe effect ofits provisions are unknown. • The 73 Ordinance can be corrected. There’s no proof the present zoning ordinance cannot be revised. I’ve seen no proof that the 73 Ordinance has ever been successfully challenged in the courts. What’s wrong with the present ordinance? The only reason given by the planners for changing from a 60-page ordinance to a new one 3Vfe times as long is that this is needed to make the zoning ordinance legally defensible in court. What are the legal deficiencies in the present zoning ordinance? I’ve asked, but I get no answers. I think the answer is that we can revise the ’73 Ordinance. I’ve suggested revisions. For example, in the 73 Ordinance, provisions concerning control of places of worship and their uses need to be changed. • The proposed ordinance is not a revision of the *73 Ordinance. People thought they were getting a revision. Even the Rappahannock News articles last year and earlier this year said that. What we got instead is a revised Fauquier ordinance. From what people have told me, they didn’t get involved because they were told this is a revision of the ’73 Ordinance. • The proposed ordinance is too restrictive. I was told by an attorney in Warrenton the Fauquier zoning ordinance is the most restrictive in the state for an area with mixed agricultural, residential and industrial. Why does Rappahnnock need the most restrictive ordinance in the state? • The proposed ordinance is too complex. After the proposed zoning ordinance is adopted, an individual will have to have a lawyer at his side to defend himself due to the complexity of the proposed document. The average citizen could not understand it or challenge rulings. • I believe people want the proposed ordinance tabled. Nearly 506 people from all five districts have signed a petition calling for the Planning Commission and the supervisors to table the pro, posed zoning ordinance. They have not tabled it yet, even though at the August 15 hearing only two people spoke for it. As I see it, they’re continuing to spend time and effort on the ’84 Ordinance, which is commendable, but 1 feel their time could better be applied to our current ’73 Ordinance. “JVo. With the help of the people of Rappahannock, the Planning Commission will make it the best ordinance possible. ” Newbffl Miller The existing ordinance has worked in the last several years because of economic circumstance, good fortune and the fact that a large majority of Rappahannock’s citizens want the county and its people protected. The existing ordinance has done its job. It should be thanked and retired. The proposed zoning ordinance—with revisions that will come from community meetings—is needed to protect the people and our county for the next decade. • The ’73 Ordinance cannot be revised. When the Planning Commission first began the study as to what kind of zoning document Rappahannock needed for the future, I sincerely believed that the 1973 Ordinance should be upgraded. We tried for some time to do this when Col. Luke was on the Board of Supervisors and George Davis was commonwealth attorney. A line-by-line approach was started and it just did not work. We kept finding legal holes and incomplete planning. The Planning Commission did not make any progress on a revised or a new ordinance. • Zoning law is a very specialized field. The more experience you get, the more you realize that professional help is necessary. In the past, Rappahannock used professional help: Rosser Payne, a professional planner from Fauquier county who taught planning at the University of Virginia, and a zoning attorney from Fairfax helped with previous ordinances. We interviewed several professional planners this time. All were unsatisfactory or too expensive. Not until Dick McNear was persuaded to help did we make any progress. • The present ordinance is not legally defensible. At least four local attorneys have told me the present ordinance is not legally defensible. It’s not specific and it’s vague. The existing ordinance has worked the last several years not because of its legal excellence, but because economic conditions such as high interest rates, inflation and high gas prices stifled rural development everywhere. Those barriers to development don’t exist now like they did just a short time ago. • Zoning is absolutely necessary. Many people do not realize how important the beauty of our county is to the economy. It attracts tourists and 1 new people who want to live here. These people, in turn, provide employment opportunities for local people in construction and service areas. This increases land and home values and helps keep property taxes down. The new people in our county pay more taxes than the cost of services they require. • Half-truths have created misconceptions. The emotional furor among some people in the county has been created by half truths and untruths sprinlded with a few facts. A revised version of the proposed ordinance will be better than the original document. If some of the opponents to the proposed, revised ordinance will stick to the facts and reveal their true goals and objectives, most of Rappahannock’s citizens will support a new ordinance.

Audi Buraau of Oculaltan 0 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,1984 Go To School It’s a shame more parents and more pupils didn’t attend “Back-to-School” night, an informal open house that took place at the elementary school last Thursday evening. At first, it looked like a respectable crowd had gathered in the gymnasium for the welcome Mid opening remarks. Upon introduction of teachers and staff, however, it became obvious that they made up nearly half of the attendees. The sparse turnout didn’t inhibit the spirit, however. Teachers and administrators appeared thrilled to see parents, however few, and eager to answer their questions. The response to the program - or lack of it - makes us wonder about priorities in the county. Just a month ago, we watched some 400 anxious citizens storm the same gymnasium to discuss the county’s proposed zoning ordinance. Many said they were concerned about the future of their children in Rappahannock County. Parental support and direct involvement in the schools also is fundamental to future generations. Parents, by taking an interest in something as simple as a child’s classroom, can boost a student’s pride and enthusiasm. The days should be gone when education is left entirely up to the schools, when encouragement of youth is entrusted solely to the teachers, the coaches, the administrators. Monetary commitments to the school system already have been made by parents and county officials. School funding in Rappahannock leaped to new levels for fiscal ’84-’85. Shouldn’t other types of commitment and involvement jump threefold, too? It’s a safe bet to say parents who attended Back-toSchool night were glad they did and would do so again in the future. A Rappahannock News survey conducted as informally as the gathering noted smiles on nearly all the parents’ faces. Rappahannock Schools will provide more opportunity for parental involvement; the question is will parents get involved? Booster meetings to support the “total school program” are scheduled at the high school September 26; PTA meetings also will begin again soon. Many are hoping that parents will go to school again, this time to let somebody who looks up to them know Mom and Dad really do care. Our Constitution A convention held in Philadelphia in May 1787, called by representatives from the 13 states, produced a document that would replace and improve the Articles of Confederation, a written agreement between the states that had been in effect since the end of the Revolutionary War. Fifty-five delegates from 12 states came to the Convention at some time or other during the summer, but only 42 stayed until the Constitution was written. Of those, 39 signed the finished document into law on September 17, 1787. All states were represented. Three men, George Mason and Edmund Randolph of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, at the end, felt they could not sign. The Constitution divided the powers between the states and the national government. It has stood the test of time. It is the oldest written Constitution still in use in the World. It has upheld the principles of freedom and liberty throughout our branches of government for 197 years. Having first served a nation of 13 weak states along the Atlantic, it now serves a great nation of 50 states stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Many other newer Republics have adopted ideas from our Constitution. We observe this 197th anniversary week of the signing of our Constitution with pride and patriotism. Submitted by Culpeper DAR Will You Participate When World Is Watching? After the sometimes heated primary skirmishing, the 1984 presidential race will soon narrow down to its final, meaningful conclusion — a contest between candidates of separate political philosophies. This is an event of worldwide significance. Virtually every nation on the globe watches developments intently. Domestically, the policies of the occupant of the White House bear upon the lives and well-being of countless citizens in a multitude of ways. But unfortunately, on Election Day millions of Americans don’t stand up to be counted. The hoopla and political cosmetics generated by the respective parties sometimes turn into a good show, but masses of citizens turn their backs. Or to be more specific, simply stay away from the polls. As we observe Independence Day, and thoughtful persons ponder appropriate ways to honor America, this dark cloud of indifference presents a challenge which must be dealth with. According to the National Election Commission, only 53.% percent of eligible voters cast their ballots in the 1960 presidential election. The “why” of this matter is complex. A half dozen reasons could be produced, all of which might be wrong. But one basic fact is inescapable. A healthy, effective democracy requires that you register and vote. An easy excuse is, “Millions of ballots will be cast. If mine is missing it won’t make any difference.” This alibi is wrong. The American Historic and Cultural Society, Inc., in examining the returns of recent national elections, has pointed out the necessity for every qualified citizen to exercise his or her franchise. Consider these statistics. In the 1980 election, 70 million eligible Americans did not vote. In sixteen staes, five percentage points separated Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. These states produced 166 electoral votes, more than 60 percent of the 270 required to carry the Electoral College. Had substantial numbers of laggards invoked their privilege of voting, the final results of the contest might have been changed. Looking back farther, in 1960 Richard Nixon lost to John F. Kennedy by less than one vote per precinct out of a total exceeding 69 million votes. In 1968, Mr. Nixon won over Hubert Humphrey by less than three votes per precinct out of more than 73 million ballots cast. Do you still wonder whether you vote counts? Drinking and driving is a definite no-no, and now a new Swedish study indicates that driving with a hangover isn’t such a good idea either. According to the September Reader’t Digest, participants scored an average of 20 percent lower in driving tests when they were hung over, even though alcohol levels in their blood had dropped back to zero. *—Our Rappahannock Heritagt Letters To The Editor A Rare Breed Of Public Servant To the editor As recent events bear witness, the job of administering and enforcing the county’s zoning laws is very often a thankless task. Many people resent these laws as an unjust infringement upon their right to do what they want with their own land - land that in many cases has been in the family for decades or even centuries. Too often, the public officials charged with the responsibility of enforcing these laws become the targets pf public WWtwept, jpnd-t&Wbpsity toward the zoning ordinance. Since 1970; When he was first appointed a member of the Roard of Zoning Appeals, George Muth has weathered the ups and downs of the struggle to protect Rappahannock County from haphazard and uncontrolled growth with magnanimity, a term Webster defines as a “...loftiness of spirit enabling one to bear trouble calmly, to disdain meanness and revenge and to make sacrifices for worthy ends.” As anyone who knows him will agree, that is George Muth. Always a gentleman, George Muth is a rare breed of public servant whose retirement from the Board of Zoning Appeals marks the end of an era. All of those who have had the pleasure of working with him over the years will miss his sense of humor and his dignified “common sense” approach to problem solving. We all owe a debt of gratitude to George Muth for his services to the county and for an example that is at once refreshing and worthy of emulation. Sinoewly. DAVID L. KON1CK •• -r. Talking Armaments To the editor: Well, he did it! They are coming to him to talk about reducing armaments - not just ours but theirs, too. Now, let’s give him more time to complete the job - for the sake of all of us. Sincerely, PAUL M. FRANTZ Washington Worried About Weapons, Debt To the editor In response to John L. Marocchi’s letter to the editor of September 13: If I were a white male, retired U.S. Navy admiral, I too would urge everyone to vote for Ronald Reagan and his ticketmates. However, being none of the above except white, and being terribly worried about Reagan’s chosing to double our national debt not by caring for “the least of these” but by building and placing on this earth more and more and more nuclear weapons, I urge everyone to vote for Fritz Mondale and his ticket-mates. RUTH COTTERILL RICHARDS Sperry vjlle ' I She’s Looking For Rews To the editor I am trying to locate two ladies who may live in yout area at the present time. They are the daughters of James J. Rew, of Ward, Alabama, and their mother’s first name is Virginia, present last name unknown. The oldest daughter, Yvonne would be approximately 27 years old and Patricia is approximately 22 years of age. Yvonne was in Germany at the last knowledge of her whereabouts. Anyone with any information of Yvonne and Patricia (maiden name Rew) please contact me as soon as possible. ) My return address: Juli Rdw, 2112 Reno Avenue, New Albany, IN 47150 MlSSJUty REW New Albany, Indiaia The Other Side Some comments published last week in a letter to the editor from Roger E. Kidwell of Flint Hill raised concern about fairness of reporting on the part of the Rappahannock Newt. In an effort to be objective, the Rappahannock News looked into three issues raised by Mr. Kidwell in regard to construction on the property of Pat Saltonstall of Flint Hill. Those issues are: number of septic tanks, health department inspections and the nature of the dwelling. One septic tank was delivered and installed on the Sal to ns tall property, not two, according to Charles W. Smith, a construction worker from Unionville who said he delivered and installed the septic tank. The septic tank was delivered in two sections, he said, on the same ! i truck during the same day. Mr. Smith said he was present when an inspection of the septic tank and its lines was completed. According to Mr. Smith, the inspector was filling in for Jack Lockhart, Rappahannock County health inspector, who was sick on the day of the inspection. The inspector told Mr. Smith he was a member of the health department serving Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties. The structure being built is a single-family dwelling, not m|ltifamily, according to testimony entered into Board of Zoning Appeal* records. A permit to build a su*lefamily dwelling was approved earlier this year by Zoning Administrator David Konkk. -From Both Barrels— Lack Of Debate Makes Boring Event By GEORGE BOWLES The so-called debate last week between Republican Sen. John Warner and Del Edythe Harrison of Norfolk, his Democratic opponent in this fall’s Senate race, did about all an event of that type could be expected to do. It gave the two candidates an opportunity of sorts to showcase their political wares, and it gave the public an opportunity to see them on television or hear them on the radio as they responded to reporters’ questions. But a real debate it was not. This kind of face-off never is, and something should be done about it. More about that in a moment. First, however, what about the event as it happened? As University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato noted, both candidates, in their own way , emerged as winners. Harrison demonstrated what must have been to her supporters a reassuring - even surprising - familiarity with both national issues and governmental processes. She was controlled and unflappable and gave a good account of herself in her responses to questions and in her rebuttal comments to Warner’s answers. Warner, to the surprise of no one, came off as the experienced political professional that he is. As he has always done on the political stump, he reminded his audience of his experience as a naval enlisted man, a Marine officer and finally as secretary of the navy. And of course, he looked like a courtly southern senator right out of central casting. Media coverage of the event was spotty. It took place in Virginia Beach and was broadcast on public television stations only in the Tidewater and Northern Virginia areas. A Harrisonburg commercial television station which aired it was plagued with transmission problems. It was broadcast statewide on radio by the Virginia News Network. The event was sponsored by the League of Women Voters. ABC reporter Ann Compton served as moderator and three newsmen made up the panel. The whole affair was as staid and genteel as an 18th century minuet. The questions.served up by the panel were good ones, but they were fairly predictable. They dealt with the kinds of things on which the candidates, in preparing for the evening, would be likely to bone up, and it is obvious they did just that. Thus, unless the viewer was a political buff or a strong supporter—or relative—of one of the candidates, the event was, in a word, boring. It should not have been like that, and it did not have to be. Political debates, properly presented, afford the public its best opportunity to see candidates for office perform under fire, think on their feet and demonstrate the ability to formulate (as opposed to memorize) logical answers to difficult and even tricky questions. But this cannot be done unless the candidates are challenged in an adversarial situation to defend their positions and justify their approaches to public issues. Obviously when the questioners are members of the press, or the panel is otherwise impartial, the questions are not going to be adversarial and probably not very challenging. Indeed, such panels bend every effort to be evenhanded in dealing with the candidates. So what should be done? The answer is not complicated. Instead of having impartial panels quiz the debaters, let them question each other in a tightly referreed format. A more elaborate version of the same idea would be to allow each candidate to have a partisan panel backing him or her up which would question the opposing candidate. This would provide a genuine intellectual and political confrontation. It would present the candidates with a real test of their ability to react under hostile forensic fire. But most important of all, it would make the debates interesting to the general public. Not all citizens are attuned to the nuances of a well-informed reporter’s questions, but most of them can easily understand a head-tohead argument between two people who are trying to win their votes. Under those conditions even politicians usually engage in plain talk and simple sentences. And who knows? If a way were found to make political debates interesting even our dollarconscious commercial television stations'might consideFcarrying them as,a contribution to public engtittenment. Heaven knows, after some of the stuff they put on the air, they owe public enlightenment something! This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The Rappahannock County Chapter F.F.A. held its initial meeting for the coming school year September 9, 1959. The first order of business was the election of officers. The results of this election are as follows: President, Eugene Atkins; Vice-president, Jonas Jenkins; Secretary, Roger Anderson; Treasurer, Maurice Butler; Sentinel, Bobby Sealock; Reporter, James Bailey. Miss Ann Dwyer, who has been Director of Nurses for the past five years at Gaza Baptist Hospital situated on the Gaza Strip which is five miles long and is the entire remains of Palestine, arrived at her home in Sperryville last Thursday for a year’s furlough. Jimmie Clatterbuck, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Clatterbuck of Washington, has recently been promoted to Airman First Class. He is stationed at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS A meeting of the 4-H Light Horse and Pony Club was held Saturday, Sept. 13 at the home of the adult leader, Mrs. R.V. Snead. Officers for the coming year were elected as follows: President, Cil Davis; Vice president, Wendy Brown; Secretary, Libby Snead; Treasurer, Cassie Coates; Reporter, Susan Dodson and Song Leader, Maureen Day. The annual meeting of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society was held Monday evening. Mrs. James Massie, Treasurer, reported that the total amount collected during the 1969 campaign was $1,960.90. Appreciation was expressed by Mrs. Ruth Johnson, Field Representative, to Mrs. Mary Van Brederode and her workers for their efforts in attaining the goal for Rappahannock County. Carrigan Honored (Continued from Page 1) Other services to the people of Rappahannock County by Mr. Carrigan includes his donation of the use of the old school building auditorium to groups for cultural purposes, and his offer of water to the residents of Washington during the 1963 drought. These services and more met the qualifications set by the DAR for the recepient of the Medal of Honor. The qualifications are that the award should go to a person who has provided leadership for the community that has led to positive action and benefits for the people, and who is patriotic and loyal to the country. Mr. Carrigan did not know that he was to receive the award until his name was announced during the ceremony. After he received the medal from Mrs. Dale J. Metzinger, regent of the Culpeper County Minute Men Chapter, Mr. Carrigan talked about the library, his love for the country and his gratitude for the award. “I want to thank you very much, and I hope that I can live up to the honor,” Mr. Carrigan said. “I don’t know that I have as yet, but if the Lord blesses us with the time and health we’ll try to do much more.” The first official English census was recorded in the Domesday Book and was ordered by William of Normandy in 1066.

Rappahannock Humane Society Named; Organization Next ,oo*appah?ul0ck Humane Society (Krlo) was the name selected September 17 by members of a planning committee who are working to organize a local chapter of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. The name, members believe, is simple and dear] and best represents the message members want to convey: This is the place where animal rights will be protected. The selection of a name followed discussion and deliberation. Nearly a dozen possible names were considered. among them: Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL); Friends of Rappahannock Animals (FORA); Rappahannock Animal Benefit Society (RABS). Member Bernie Dahlgren suggested keeping it simple, and the straightforward name Rappahannock Humane Society popped up again. It was the only name discussed during an initial meeting September 6. "That’s what it’s called all over the country,” member Pat Saltonstall said. RHS members then discussed other organizational matters, among Duchesse Farm, Amissville Ru'd by Kilpatrick’• Rappahannock House Tour Coming October 20, 21 Duchesse Farm, the home of Mr. and Mrs. David L. Fannon, is one of the homes featured on the 28th annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale scheduled for October 20 and 21. Tour headquarters and dried flower sales room will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington. »v Duchesse Farm is located approximately three miles west of Amissville on Rt. 211. The rear wing is the original house built in 1803 and contains kitchen and dining room with master bedroom and dressing room above. The front, added in 1863, provides living room and parlor plus additional bedrooms. Other houses on the upcoming tour include Greenoch Farm outside Sperryville, home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice G. Herndon, and Clifton, on Rt. 729 outside Flint Hill, home of Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. Rodgers. Tea will be served both afternoons at Clifton. Box lunches will be available at Trinity Parish Hall. For more information, call or write D.C. Knuepfer, Kaywood, Rt. 1, Box 1080, Washington, Va. 22747. (703) 676-3744. them, adoption of bylaws. A subcommittee was formed to research and make recommendations in regard to drafting of bylaws. Subcommittee members are Ann and Pat Saltonstall. Rather than adopt American Humane Association (AHA) bylaws verbatim, Sakalaucks and Saltonstall plan to get copies of humane society bylaws from neighboring counties, review them and AHA bylaw guidelines, and “tailor (them) to our needs,” Saltonstall recommended. While bylaws are being consid ered, chairman pro tem Vince Hannon will contact local attorneys to see if one will volunteer services to RHS. Finding an attorney who “loves animals” works well, according to Walt Lane, president of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. I<ane said September 6 the Federation relies on an attorney who has volunteered services. Tl»e attorney can invoice the Federation for tax purposes, Lane affirmed. Nearly every attorney's name in Rappahannock came up in discussion; in order not to compromise the search. Readings Provide Drama By TUTT STEPP-HARRIS trliiC At The Library Three dramatic readings from Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, performed by Steve and Micheiene Hostetter and Stuart Eiland of the Rappahannock Players in conjunction with the first of the Library's lecture series on needs dealing with famiHea and communities, highlighted one root of isolation today—the change of family from a unit of stability to a unit characterized by mobility. The readings depicted three rides that a young boy accepts while hitchiking. In each case, he encounters individuals from broken families who are simply riding around, in varying degrees of aimlessness, escaping the present and wondering what happened to their pasts. As far as the ftiture, the final woman with whom he rides holds few dreams: “Tonight, I’ll just fix a tuna salad.” Central to professor Jan Cohn’s discussion of Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant were cultural changes that are demonstrated by familiea like the one in the novel who are seemingly driven apart—communities and families used to be groups into which one was simply born; to the younger generation in the novel, communities and families must be created, and it is this very act of enforced creation that both forces than apart and causes them to shut themselves off from community, as if containing the relatives together would “create” a family. The unanswered question posed by the novel is what creates this type of isolation and what can be done to reverse the trend. Bluemont Fair Both families and community joined together in Bluemont last week for a truly old fashioned fair, focused on the town, its residents and the creation of their hands—innumerable crafts and demonstrations by local craftsperaons; a three woman art show by local painters; sales of dried flowers, produce, baked goods and preserves; a game of horseshoes behind the general store; a temporary ice cream parlor in the basement of the town’s oldest house. Even more significant was the Children’s Fair, designed to pass on the appreciation for the intrinsic value of the work of the hands: a quilt each child could stitch on; tables for drawing, painting and jewelery making; a huge sheet strewn with blocks of wood hammers and boxes of nails for carpentry; patient young girls ready to paint any design imaginable onto the children’s faces; and a petting zoo foil of loving and gentle form animals from a local form. Market Report At the Front Royal Livestock Exchange on September 13 the following prices were reported: Slaughter Cattle Cows: HD Cut and Brk UT 1-3 $38.2&41.75; Utility and Comm 2-4 $32.50-37.26; Canner and cutter 1-3 $31-33.76 V Bulls: 1-2146-49.25 Baby Calves Baby Calves: $3043 Feeder Cattle Steers: Medium and Ige #1, 3-600 lbs. $62.50-06; 6-700 lbs. $69.6002.25; 7-1000 lbs. $67-61.50; small #1 and med and lge, 3-600 lbs. $57-61.50; 5-700 lbs. $56-69; 7-1000 lbs. $62-66.50. Heifers: Medium and lge #1,3-600 however, this report will forgo revealing the narrowed-down list. In other activity, members discussed the purpose of RHS, which at this point is twofold: To help the county via support; to advocate for animals. “I think the group is forming because the county has not complied with the law,” Saltonstall said. She added that she thought it would be up to the county to decide the role RHS can play. If the county sought advice and participation by RHS, the role would be enhanced, members agreed. "That’s why it’s great if we can work together,” Sal tonstall added. The RHS set an October 1 date for its next meeting. The meeting is scheduled to take place at Carol Miller’s home in Washington, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The planning committee’s goal for the meeting: Set an organizational date and begin to canvass the county to get people together in support of animal welfare. Sherry Landsman of Woodville was the only new person to join the meeting Monday night; she said she had contacted Mr. Dahlgren to find out more about RHS.

The Homemaker’s Corner By FLORENCE A. VICKERS Kxtemhm Agent Choose Right Athletic Footgear! During the warm season many people vigorously exercise outdoors. Much of their strenuous work may be good for the body but can prove harmful to the feet if proper precautions are not taken. The best protection for the feet is, obviously, proper shoes. Finding the proper shoes not only involves fit and comfort but needs related to particular sport activities. If the sport involves a court of any kind, such as tennis, squash, racquetball or basketball, a shoe is needed to support more than forward foot movements. Basketball shoes have suction-grip soles to prevent skids and may have a high top to guard against ankle ii\jurie8. Tennis shoes are more padded than basketball shoes and are built for stability and sure footing. Smooth surfaced soles work best on artificial turf or carpeted surfaces and patterned soles work well on clay surfaces. Either type of sole works well on cement surfaces. A third type of court shoe, relatively new, is the aerobic shoes, designed specifically for indoor courts and fancy footwork. The aerobic shoe combines the shock absorbency of a regular running shoe and with the allaround support and padding of the tennis shoe. Sneakers, the old flat-soled canvas shoes, used to be only sold in white. Today, they come in a full spectrum of fashion colors and basically are just for casual wear. These old favorites have long since been “outrun” by other shoes designed for specific sports. They are thin-soled and are not cushioned or built supportive enough for serious sports. Running shoes are just that-for running only. Built for forward movement, these shoes have an elevated heel to absorb the hardest part of the shock and the front end curves to protect the toes. The only lateral support provided is the wide sole base. Rubber soles, usually waffled or ridged provide solid footing and good traction on dirt and hills. Athletic shoes should not be machine washed or dried but handwashed and dried away from the heat. If worn at least three times a week, they’ll probably need replacing in four to six months. Remember to always wear socks to guard against blisters, duffing, and calluses. Tne best socks for athletic wear are those with a blend of 'dbiton and synthetic fibers. The cotton absorbs wetness and the synthetic adds stain resistance and durability. The best way to protect the feet is with careful shoe selection and timely replacement. Pick the right shoes for the correct needs and wear them properly fastened with comfortable socks. Fungicides Are Not Only Answer i Molds can become destructive in the home if allowed to contaminate and grow on materials. Molds, mildews and mushrooms are fungi that can affect living things in many different ways. Fungi are small, inconspicuous plants that are unable to manufacture their own food so they must obtain essential nutrients by the decomposition of natural and synthetic products. Manufactured products of all kinds are subject to attack by fungi. Fungi decay wood, cloth, fabrics, twine, electrical insulation, leather, food products of all sorts and a variety of other materials. High moisture, warm temperatures and low light intensity favor mold growth. Usually household articles become moldy or mildewed because they are stored wet, stored in a closed space with no ventilation or stored uncleaned or unprotected so the mold starts growing on spilled foods, greases or oils. There are two ways plant and processed goods are protected from fungus attack-being covered or impregnated with chemicals toxic to fungi. There is no general, all purpose fungicide. Literally thousands of different compounds have been manufac tured and tested as fungicides and a number of these are very effective for certain purposes. What is poison for one fungus may be food for another. A compound that serves as an effective fungicide under one set of conditions may be useless under another. The effectiveness of the compound is influenced by a large number of factors. Some of these influences include: —Certain volatile chemicals, such as pardichlorobenzene, inhibit mildew on clothing and other apparel when used in packages, trunks or garment bags. Use one pound of the crystals for 100 cubic inches of air space. —To protect leather, treat with low-pressure aerosol formulations. Check for color changes in leather before treating. —When painting wood surfaces that come in contact with moisture use a paint that contains mildeweide or fungicide. —Basement walls and showers can be wiped with a solution of household bleach prepared as one part bleach and nine parts water. —Aerosol disinfectants can be used for prevention of a number of mold and mildew problems. Mushrooms growing on basement carpets are killed by steam cleaning for two minutes at 160F. Talcum powder is sprinkled between the pages of books to keep them dry during storage. Fungicides are not the sole answer to effective mold control. Their effectiveness is only as good as the environment in which they are being used. If the environment has favorable temperature, humidity and light, molds often will grow inspite of fungicide treatment. Improving ventilation, keeping articles dry and lowering humidity are important to mold prevention. It usually is much more economical to store food, clothing, books and leather goods properly than to treat with a fungicide. Most mold problems, although not all, are relatively simple to correct or prevent by having some knowledge of the problem and putting that knowledge to use. Pork And The Microwave Oven Consumers are bombarded with health warnings every day. Some of these warnings are justified, but many are grossly exaggerated. The safety of fresh pork probably causes consumers the most confusion because there’s a lot - of misinformation floating around1 according to Susan L. Wiley, marketing specialist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Here are the scientific facts about consuming fresh pork. The only way you can contract trichinosis is to eat meat from an animal that is infected with this parasite and eat the meat raw )r barely cooked. Most hogs today are absolutely free of this parasite and would never give you trichinosis even if you did eat it raw. As a food shopper you don’t know whether the fresh pork in the meat case comes from an infected animal or not, so the best idea is to cook all fresh pork products to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F. Trichinella spiralis is killed at an internal temperature of about 140 degreees F. Not only will cooking destroy the trichinosis parasite, but freezing pork products at 0 degrees F or below will as well, adds Mrs. Wiley. Cooling pork in the microwave oven has also had its share of warnings. Because it has been debated whether the microwaved pork roast cooks evenly to the safe temperature of 170 degrees F, many oven manufacturers have not recommended fresh pork cookery for microwaves. But thanks to a lot of testing and research, the National Livestock and Meat Board, as well as the National Pork Producers Council, are pleased to announce that safe and delicious results can be achieved by microwaving fresh pork in an oven cooking bag. Here is their complete recommended procedure: —Choose evenly shaped boneless roasts weighing no more than 3 to 3 1/2 pounds. —Place roast in a 10x16 inch cooking bag and place in a microwave safe dish or a rack (CONSIGNMENT I AUCTION Saturday, October 6,10:00 a.m. Rain or Shine Culpeper Agriculture Enterprises, Rt. 29 South of Culpeper, Vs.

Celebrating National Farm Safety Week, September It’s Hazardous To Work In Agriculture BLACKSBURG—This yew agriculture is the second most hazardous occupation. Agriculture vies with mining and construction work for the unenviable position of most deaths, said Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural engineer. Nationally, the rate of deaths in agriculture occupations is 63.8 per 100,000 individuals working. Of those, 34.5 are killed in motor vehicle accidents such as driving to a dealer for a repair part, while 20.7 fatalities occur when working. About 110,000 agriculture workers will have a disabling injury. The injury rate is such that about one out of every 25 workers can expect to be injured, said Hetzel, who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Those working with animals are likely to be injured most. The rate is 16.5 percent of injuries due to animals; 16.3 percent to machinery; and eight percent tractor related. Of the injuries, 65.3 percent are severe enough to require medical attention; 30 percent are slight; but 1.9 percent result in permanent disability. About .6 of the injuries result in death. With Virginia’s hilly terrain, tractor roll-overs are a serious hazard. Hetzel noted that nationally 48 percent of tractor fatalities occur when the tractor turned over. Such deaths are avoidable. ‘'There are no recorded fatalities from roll-overs when the tractor is equipped with a roll-bar or cab and the operator was wearing a seatbelt,” Hetzel said. Other farm accidents can be prevented, too. Over five percent of farm injuries are to the eyes. Wearing goggles could prevent many of them. Three kinds of individuals on farms are particularly vulnerable to accidents. They are; a hired, male worker between the ages of 15 and 24 years; youngsters between 5 and 14 years of age who often are just playing or watching farm activities when the accidents occur; and women working on dairy farms who deal with large animals and large machinery - both dangerous. Hetzel’8 efforts as a safety specialist are devoted to reducing the number and severity of accidental farm injuries. He has claimed national attention with a program for training Virginia rescue squads to deal with the special problems of freeing victims from farm machinery. It’s Time To Trade In Hats Farmers may need to trade their sun visor cap for a hard hat, and their cowboy boots for steel-reinforced work shoes. Farm workers need protective clothing. Hard hats, safety goggles, hard-toed shoes, face shields, respirators, leather aprons, rubber gloves and INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuea. HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 1 p.m., Evary Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE lat Tuaa. 1 p.m. Evary Month 1 MHa East of Marshall Rt 55 364-1566 even ear plugs can prevent injury in many farm jobs, said Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Tedi Extension specialist in agricultural engineering. When handling large animals such as cattle, horses and even hogs, it is easy to get stepped on, or pushed. Protective shoes and hats could prevent injury. V A safety or hard hat is designed to protect the head from impact and flying or falling objects. Another type of hat is a bump cap, which offers less protection than the hard hat but helps protect against minor scrapes. When wearing a hard hat or bump cap on the job, be sure the headband is tight enough so that the hat or cap stays on when bending over. The hazardous chemicals that farmers use come with information about the protective clothing necessary when handling the chemicals. Never take short-cuts on protective clothing, said Hetzel. “Get a supply of the personal protective gear and make sure everyone working on the farm knows when and how to use it,” said Hetzel.

Tractor Accidents Can Be Avoided The tractor, a symbol of fanning, also is one of the most dangerous farm machines. %v-»« There are five general problems that cause tractor accidents. They are excessive speed on the road, driving where the tractor can tip over, Calls from the machine, improper use of the power take off (PTO) mechanism and fuel handling. Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural engineer, added that most accidents can be prevented. Nine out of 10 tractor accidents are caused by human error. Mechanical failures cause only 10 percent of the accidents. Hetzel said that nearly one-tlurd of all tractor accidents happen when the farm tractor is used on the road, but that is only one out of every 25 operating hours. Operators often drive too fast to handle the tractor safely. Doubling the speed increases by four times the chances of upset. When turning corners, the tractor is not very stable. Make sure lights and safety equipment on a tractor are working. A “Slow Moving Vehicle” emblem must be displayed according to state law requirements. To avoid tipping the tractor over when pulling a load, hitch the load to the drawbar. Always have the drawbar hitch at least 13 and less than 17 inches off the ground, and at least 14 inches behind the rear axle, he said. The chances of overturning increase when pulling a heavy load uphill. Add weights to the front of the tractor and move cautiously. If the tractor gets stuck in a ditch or mud hole, try to back it out. If that is not possible, get someone to tow the tractor out and do not try any of the unsafe short cuts farmers sometimes suggest to each other. Climb in and out of the tractor carefully to avoid a fall. Don’t use the tractor platform and drawbar to store tools and materials. Keep steps and the platform clear of litter that could cause a fall. Keep extra riders, especially children, off of the tractor. The only way to use the PTO mechanism is to shut it off when you work on it and always keep it shielded when it is being used. Handling fuel is hazardous. Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool at least five minutes before adding fuel to the tractor. Never overfill a fuel tank. If it overflows, wait at least 10 minutes to start the engine so that the explosive vapor will be carried off by the air. Always carry an Underwriters Laboratory-approved dry chemical fire extinguisher and know how to use it. Never use gasoline to wash parts or the motor. Use approved safety fuel cans for taking extra fuel to the field.

Rt 29 South of Culptptr • 547-3700 Hazardous Gases Found On Farms Gases formed by agriculture products can be dangerous to fanners. Four gases create common hazards—hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, carbon dioxide and methane, said Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural engineer. Hydrogen sulphide can be produced in manure pits or any place where organic material is decaying. As httle as 600 parts per million of this pungent gas will restrict breathing and make artificial respiration necessary if it is inhaled. The gas tends to paralyze a person’s diaphragm. Individuals can detect its rotten egg smell when they breathe it in small quantities, but the smell is not so obvious when the gas is in higher concentrations. “Anyone working in or around manure pits or tanks should use self-contained breathing apparatus similar to that used by underwater sports enthusiasts. Proper ventilation also will remove the harmful gas. Ammonia may form from material that is high in nitrogen, such as manure. It is lighter than air and easily detected. Highly irritating to the eyes and lungs, ammonia can be controlled by ventilation. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and ia not detectable without special equipment. It suffocates a person by displacing oxygen in the air. A person in an oxygen deficient area of a pit or silo may lose consciousness before realizing anything is wrong. Again, ventilation will clear the air, but a self-contained air supply should be used when the presence of carbon dioxide is suspected. Methane gas is produced by decomposition of agricultural by-products. But, uncontrolled methane rising from manure pits can be an explosive hazard. No matches or open flames should be permitted where methane may be present. A miner’s lamp or air test de vices may be used to check for com bustible gases or low oxygen levels. The faculty member in Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences also recommended that no one work alone in or near tanks, pits or storage bins that may contain fermenting or decaying organic material. Use a lifeline and make sure there is enough power on hand to lift a victim from the tank. This means at least two workers on the outside. Ventilate the space before and during work. Farm Equipment On Highways, Too Motorists driving in farming areas need to keep in mind how slow farm equipment moves when it must travel on a highway. It takes an average of 18 seconds for a tractor pulling two wagons to enter and clear the highway. During those 18-seconds, a car going 50 miles per hour will travel more than a quarter of a mile, said Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural engineer. Some farm equipment is massive in both width and length. Parts may protrude into adjoining traffic lanes, especially when the equipment is turning. Hetzel said that equipment displaying the orange triangle with red border is traveling at speeds less than 25 miles an hour. Be prepared to slow down or stop when approaching farm machinery on the road. Remember that farm equipment has a right to be on the highway too.

Once Around Rappahannock Former Firefighter Russell Pullen Says ‘Helping People’ Is Most Important By JANE BANGLEY Ratpahuuioek New. 8U1T Writer From 1947 until 1979 he was a firefighter, but now Russell Pullen says he is the kind that “sits in the living room and listens to the calls on the monitor.” His retirement was not a matter of choice. In the latter part of 1978, Pullen had a slight stroke that ended a firefighting career that had lasted more than three decades. Pullen became a fireman in Falls Church, Va. after he got out of the Army. “At the time, I had just gotten out of the service, and I knew some people in the fire department,” Pullen said. “I joined as a volunteer, but I didn’t like the inside work; I liked the outside work.” When he was offered a paid position in 1948, Pullen said yes and began his career. For 17 years, Pullen drove the ambulance in Falls Church. “I loved my work, and helping people,” said Pullen. “I delivered many a baby when I was driving that ambulance.” Pullen was bom in Rappahannock County near Viewtown. In 1966, Pullen and his wife, Hazel, bought some land in Amissville and built a house. Mrs. Pullen was a nurse in Falls Church, and the couple also owned a restaurant. Whenever they got a chance, though, they would come to their vacation home in Amissville. Beginning in 1972, Pullen did not take a break from his firefighting and rescue work when he came to his Amissville retreat. That was the year he joined the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department. Pullen became the chief in Amissville in 1973, and he began coming to Amissville more often. “I was teased by all of the men about being chief here, and still being a private back in Falls Church at the same time,” Pullen said. “There was no ‘good morning, Rus*selT, but it was always ‘good morning, chief.’ ” Since he was spending as much time as possible in Amissville, Pullen decided to move from Falls Church. He retired from the Falls Church Fire Department in 1974 after 26 years of service. “I kind of enjoyed him being a firefighter,” said Mrs. Pullen. “At one time, 1 thought that if I got him up to the country he’d forjfet aboutfurefighting, but it didn’t make any difference. ” She wanted to get Pullen away from firefighting badly enough that she talked him into trying to sell their Amissville home. “She used to bless me out, and one time she tried to sell the house to get me away from the fire house,” Pullen said. “I used to go over there and mow the grounds all day, and if the whistle went off during dinner, I was gone. She used to say that she could never get me to do anything around home because I was always at the fire house.” The Pullens did not sell their home, though, and he continued as chief of the volunteer department. “It makes you stick with it when you ei\joy the people you work with,” Pullen said. “It makes you want to help out as long as you can. ” Paul Poling worked with Pullen in Falls Church and in Amissville. He’s good to get along with, and to work with,” said Poling. “He’s a good individual, and I’ve worked with him for a number of years.” Carl James, chief of the Amissville Fire Department, said, “Russell was dedicated to his profession since he was a paid firefighter in Falls Church, and he volunteered here and worked even after his retirement.” During his many years as a firefighter and rescue squadsman, Pullen had never been injured. Then in 1979, Pullen’s life was changed by a health problem. “I had a slight stroke around the beginning of 1979, and I went to Fauquier Hospital for two weeks, then to Fairfax Hospital for two more, and then finally to a neurologist,” Pullen said. “I’ve been unstable on my feet since, so I haven’t ridden on a call since 1980.” After his stroke, Pullen received some assistance from the Amissville Ruritan Club. “Back when he first had his sickness we furnished sick room supplies, and the club installed things like a hand rail in the bathroom for him,” said Nelson Burner, secretary of the Ruritans. When Pullen had his stroke, the doctors found that he had diabetes. Now Pullen’s diabetes is causing a loss of eyesight and some problems with one of his legs. “I developed an ulcer on the fourth toe of my left foot, and my toe was taken off at Martinsburg Veterans Hospital,” Pullen said. “Then I developed an infection in the bottom of my foot, and I had treatments and was released in the middle of June.” Pullen had gone into the hospital in March of this year. Pullen had another hospital stay in August. MI went into Front Royal Hospital on August 13th for pneumonia until the 22nd,” said Pullen. “They told me then that there might be a chance that I could lose my left leg unless the infection is stopped. ” Pullen returned to the doctor on September 18, and the doctor found that his leg was better. “Through all of the problems, I’Ve rtever really felt bad,” he said. “I think I’m doing very well now, considering everything I’ve been through,” Pullen said. “I have no trouble walking, and at least I’m back to wearing shoes now.” He enjoys walking around his land where he has two horses, a filly, a pony, two dogs and two ducks. Every afternoon, he goes out in his backyard and calls his ducks. “I yell ‘come on quack-quacks’, and they come back to their shed,” said Pullen. Pullen misses the life of a fireman, though. “I have one of the radios here in the house. I lay there and cry sometimes because I can’t answer the calls.” ^U-S CHIU ' G Photo By Bob Milnes Pullen, in the center, helps in one of his many rescue calls in Falls Church. Now he says, “I lay there and cry sometimes because I can’t answer the calls. ’’ hffataaock New* PtMMo/Jaae Bangley Pullen stands in front of the Amissville Fire Department where he spent so much of his time. mm,® „ PMDByBot “I delivered many a baby when I was driving that ambulance.” Here Pullen, on the right, drives another one of the Falls Church vehicles.

Town Council (Continued from Page 1) A question was raised about need for such an ordinance since Historical Landmark Commission already designated the town to be a historical district. “It doesn’t give any protection or any law that would be binding,” Mayor III Kramer said. “This would be the first action that would be binding in terms of what can be done with property.” The ordinance would establish an Architectural Review Board which would examine all plans for the construction, reconstruction, alterations or restorations of buildings within the historical district. The plans would have to conform to specifications on exterior style, design, texture, material and colors used in Washington from its founding to 1900. The council decided that the ordinance would have to go to the county Planning Commission, but there were concerns over the time it would take for the ordinance to be reviewed. “I don’t think that we’d see this ordinance again within the life of this council if we send it to the county Planning Commission,” said Wkkens.

Council member Miller suggested that there be a town meeting on the proposed ordinance. “I think that we ought to have a town meeting before we publish it for public hearing and let the people say what they want to say and then after that decide whether we want to do anything, and see what we propose before we go to public hearing,” Miller said. Water Lines The council also discussed the town’s problems with its water lines. "You know the problem recently has been with the plastic lines that have just been put in in the last 10 years,” Miller said. "The pipes we have now shouldn't give any problems for 40 years if you believe the manufacturers of the pipe.” Mayor Kramer and Treasurer Fisher decided that they would meet and find out why there are problems, how to cut off the water only in problem areas instead of for the whole town and what the water company is doing. Town Charter A letter from State Senator Kevin Miller of Harrisonburg was received by the council reminding council that the date to get a town charter bill passed for Washington is approaching. “Every municipality in Virginia has to have a corporate charter spelling out its specific powers, boundaries and name,” said Doug Baumgardner, legal counsel for the Town Council. “The charter has to be passed by the General Assembly, and by the governor.” The Town of Washington’s charter has not been updated since 1894, and the deadline for sending the bill is coming up. ‘There’s a necessity for us to forward the charter bill on to our representatives in the State Senate and the House of Delegates, and then signed by the governor,” Baumgardner said. There also has to be a survey of the town done and included with the bill. “We haven’t had this done since 1894, and because of Dillons rule it is important that we do so,” Baumgardner said. Dillons rule states that a locality can only exercise those powers conferred by the state. “We have to have in our charter bill all the powers that we need,” said Baumgardner. Dogs Council is still wrestling with the problem of what to do about dogs roaming the streets of Washington. One of the members asked about the town's leash law, but Mayor Kramer said, “We don’t have a leash law. We have a leash law that was passed, but it would only become effective if we have the means to enforce the law and we have not been able to come up with a means to enforce the law/* Dogs are supposed to be licensed by the county, and are required to wear tags. “Most of the dogs you see running around don’t have any tags on," Wickens said.

"The only people that are aware are the few people having problems with it and the council members, and it’s been around for years,” Mayor Kramer said. “It’s worse now than I ever remember.” Council heard a complaint from Virginia Lindstrom, a citizen of Washington, about noisy dogs. “They (the dogs) bark all night, they really do, and if you don’t believe it come spend the nisht.” Lindstrom said. Solutions to the problem are still hard to come by. One suggestion from council member Wickens was to deputize part-time personnel who would issue citations to the owners of problem dogs. “We could charge $10 for the first offense, $50 for second and $100 for the third,” Wickens said. Council decided to study the ordinance, and decide what measures could be taken. “I think that if we can go ahead and do something, even though it may not be 100 percent effective, if it’s 50 percent effective it’s going to help some,” Mayor Kramer said. In other business, council decided to send a letter to the State Police asking for radar to be set up on Main Street. Council also decided to find out how much a requested septic tank for the Historical Society and Town Hall would cost.

Look beyond the mess. Don’t let your first impression deter you from seeing the IMPORTANT features of a house. For example, the structure of the house and the general layout may be in excellent condition, easily convertible to your own ideas of decorating and family living. The kitchen may be cluttered and unkempt, but large and well stocked with cabinets, pantry, and other features. A worn and dirty carpet in the living room may be covering a beautiful hardwood floor that you can make sparkle again. Also, carpets can be cleaned or replaced.

A Primer A packed field comes over a hurdle fence in the Bolla Maiden at the Spring *83 Foxfield Races — Arundel Ncwipepco PhotoVClivt Cwnic Hunters Raced To ‘Yon Steeple’ By CLIVE CARNIE AiaaM Nitppn SUIT Writer The sport of steeplechasing which has become a tradition in Virginia traces its beginnings back to England in the eighteenth century. The story varies from teller to teller, but essentially the sport began as a race between several foxhunters following a morning of (probably unsuccessful) hunting. The horsemen would often challenge one another as to who could get to a certain point first. Church steeples being the highest reference points on the rural landscapes of those times, the cry was often to race to “yon steeple”, hence a steeple race, or chase. En route to the church steeple the foxhunters went over, under or through every obstacle in their path, from which performance the fences at modern day steeplechase courses are derived. There are three types of race at a modem steeplechase: timber, hurdle or brush, and flat. A timber race is usually at least three miles long, pitting the horses over about 16 timber, or wooden fences, during that distance. Because of the size of the fences (three foot six to four foot six) and the distance of the event a timber race is often fiuriy slow compared to other horse races. This makes the races more popular for spectators who can see more of the horses and appreciate their jumping style. Timber horses are usually experienced foxhunters and they are generally at least five years old. A hurdle or brush race varies from two to three miles with the horses jumping over brush fences. A brush fence is either a natural bush, a box stuffed with cut brush (or sticks), or a plastic simulation of brush. The plastic brush fences, or hurdles, are the most commonly used now because they are always the same so a trainer racing a horse at different meets can be assurred that the fences are consistent. The National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, the sanctioning body for American steeplechasing, owns several sets of brush fences (six or seven are usually needed for a one-mile course) and these are rented out to courses holding race meets. Hurdle fences are designed so that a horse can brush its legs through them without danger, and because of this these races are a lot faster than timber races. Horses that start racing over hurdles and then progress to timber are usually not used to lifting their legs as high and require several months of training over these unforgiving jumps before they can race safely. A flat race, as it sounds, is a straight horse race on the grass without any fences. These races are often only a mile or a mile and a half long and can therefore be very exciting as there is usually not too much difference between the best horses in a flat race. Flat races are a good way to introduce a young potential steeplechaser to competition without too much danger of injury. Many trainers also use flat races at meets early in the season to get their veteran steeplechasers in shape for later meets. For each race at a steeplechase meet, the NSHA sets conditions that a horse must satisfy in order to be eligible. There are a wide variety of different types of race conditions. Beginning horses that have never won a race are entered in a maiden race. Once they “break their maiden” the horses can be entered in a variety of races. Usually the next race after a horse has won its maiden would be a non-winners of two. But an owner or trainer could decide to enter his horse in a race for the horse’s age group if the conditions are right and he feels his horse is good enough. All steeplechasers are thoroughbreds and all thoroughbreds have an official birthday Jan. 1, regardless of whether they were bom Jan.l or Dec. 31 of the previous year. The earliest a steeplechase horse can start its racing career is as a three-yearold, and usually in the fall of its threeyear-old year. Usually a three-year-old will race against other horses of its age group, unless it has shown exceptional performance and ability in earlier races or training. Retirement age for steeplechasers varies, but a good jumper can keep going until he is 13 or 14 years old, older if he is Continued on Page 4 On The Cover Woods Winants of Middleburg guides Irving Nader’s Hamid over a timber fence at the grand opening of Great Meadow on Sept. 9.

Older steeplechasers are usually geldings. Few stallions are raced over fences because of their fiery temperaments. Mares are often retired for breeding or some other purpose when they are eight or nine. Many metropolitan flat race tracks fill their programs with claiming races. These are the “bread and butter” races for these tracks. Not too many steeplechase horses are daimera, but there is usually one claiming race at most steeplechase meets. Horses running in a claiming race run for a certain price determined by the owner or trainer which satisfies the conditions of the race. If another trainer or owner running a horse at that meet likes someone else’s horse in a claiming race he can claim it by informing the race secretary or stewards at the meet. Usually this is done by dropping a form in a specially marked box. The new owner then pays the claiming price of the hone to the old owner and the hone becomes his to race until someone else might claim it. Steeplechasing is an exciting spectator sport because of its fast pace and the inherent thrills and danger that come with the jumps and the knowledge that 1,000pound animals born to run are being controlled by men or women weighing at most 150 pounds. Besides the racing, however, steeplechasing is also very popular because of what goes on between races. For some people this is the most important thing about a steeplechase and they may be lucky to see one race the whole afternoon. The sport is unique in this respect because of the intense excitement during the races followed by the opportunity to relax and party in between in a beautiful country setting. It is no wonder that steeplechasing is the largest spectator event in the Old Dominion, often drawing crowds from 5,000 to 20,000 depending on the location and size of the meet. — Arandel Newspaper!

Preview Change, Uncertainty Mark Fall By CLIVE CARNIE AiaU Ncwipapm SUIT Writer As the fell steeplechase season in Virginia begins there are some noticeable changes in the race schedule from previous years. The most obvious and very welcome change is the addition to the ranks of Virginia hunt meets of a new meet, the Great Meadow Races at Great Meadow near The Plains. The other possible change, which it is hoped will not happen, is the impending loss of the traditional races at Montpelier, the estate of the late Marion duPont Scott at Montpelier Station in Orange County. (Both of these changes are outlined in detail elsewhere in this section.) The purse structure for all the Virginia meets looks exceptionally strong this year and many meets already report sellouts of certain reserved parking spots, indicating a strong spectator interest in the fall races. With the strong entries at several spring and summer meets around the country, including two new meets in St. Louis, Mo., and Palm Beach, Fla., there appears to be no shortage of capable horses to provide spectators with exciting competition. Steeplechasing is the largest spectator sport in the Old Dominion, and has been year after year. It is comforting to see that, though construction within the state is increasing every year, there is still sufficient strong and active support for traditional pasttimes such as steeplechasing to keep enough land free to enable the sport to continue. Fairfax Hunt Races The fall steeplechase season in Virginia begins with the 27th annual Fairfax Races at the Belmont Plantation near Leesburg on Saturday, Sept. 22. When the Fairfax Hunt first began its races the meet was held at Reston, on a site where a large high school now stands. ‘The hunt used to give a substantial horse show, but we found there was more and more interest in point-to-point and steeplechase racing than shows,” explained Randolph Rouse, Master of Fox Hounds (MFH) of the Fairfax Hunt and the chairman of the meet since its beginning. “So, we gave up our class ‘A’ horse show and put on a race meet. William duPont suggested the course layout for us.” When Reston started to develop the Fairfax races had to move and they went to Middleburg for several years. All hunts want their race meets to be within their own territories and the hunt searched for somewhere in Fairfax to put mi a meet. Hunt members found the Belmont Plantation, an IBM property, and approached the owners to see if they could use it as a race course. “The property was just sitting in the IBM land bank and not being used for anything,” Mr. Rouse said. ‘They were very helpful and cooperative about letting us useit. “This (Belmont Plantation) is a lovely property to have our races on. It is so good for viewing you can see all of the races from anywhere on the course. We graded and seeded the turf when we took the property over about 10 years ago and the footing is very good now." One of the unique aspects of the Belmont Plantation course is that it runs clockwise, in the English tradition, unlike most American courses which run anti clockwise. The reason for this is to ensure an uphill finish, a desirable characteristic at all steeplechase courses to sort the real runners from the lucky ones. This year the Fairfax races begin at 2 p.m. with two non-sanctioned fiat races, one for ladies and one for gentlemen, both over 1% miles. Other races on the card include the featured $5,000 Bowman Bowl at 3miles over timber, and the 2 Vi mile $3,000 Guest Cup hurdle race. A substitute three-mile timber race may be on the card, or else there will be two hurdle races, one for maidens, of 2V« miles. The final decision on which races will be held depends on the number and type of entries that are received by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA), the governing body of steeplechasing in this country. “We are expecting what promises to be a very exciting field this year,” says Don Himpz, promotion officer for Die Fairfax races. “We have already sold more parking spaces than ever and expect to have one of our biggest crowds.” The Belmont Plantation is on Route 7 approximately four miles east of Leesburg. General admission is $5. Subscriptions on the rail have been sold out. Off the rail subscriptions are $25. For more information call (703)759-2651. Foxfield Fall Races' \ The seventh annual Foxfield races will beheld Saturday, Oct. 1. This will actually be the 14th steeplechase meet for this course just outside Charlottesville as it also holds a meet in the spring. The Foxfield races were started in May 1978 by Mia. Mariann Tejeda who donated the land in order to preserve it aa. a rural area with the intention that the profit from the races would go to benefit the Children’s Rehabilitation Center in Charlottesville. Parking and attendance at F oxfield have grown yearly, with a strong contingent always coming from the nearby University of Virginia. Crowds at the meet often average 14,000 and sometimes grow to 19,000, making it one of the largest attended spectator events in the state. This year six races are on the schedule including the featured $15,000 American Grand National. Founded more than 100 years ago, this 2Vi-mile hurdle race is one of the oldest in the country. It is also the first leg in steeplechasing’s Triple Crown which William L. Pape’s Flatterer won last year, becoming the first horse ever to win the elusive triple. The other two jewels of the crown are the Temple Gwathmey in Belmont, N. Y., and the Colonial Cup in Camden, S. C. Other races on the card include a $5,000 maiden hurdle race over 2V* miles, a $6,000 non-winners of two hurdle race over 2V* miles, a three-mile timber race worth $3,000, a $1,000 flat race over a mile and a $4,000 maiden claiming race over two miles. “Foxfield is one of the best courses in the country,” said Steve Groat, course manager. “It is very well maintained all year round and is not used for anything else. “This year it is in fantastic shape. Honestly, I have never seen it better. We have had enough rain, it has a nice cushion, not hard, and the going is fantastic.” The Foxfield course is on Garth Road just outside Charlottesville. To get to the course from the Northern Virginia area take Route 29 to the Charlottesville Bypass (Route 250) and take a right to Barracks Road, the first exit. This road becomes Garth Road after about two and a half miles and the race course is about four miles on the left. General admission to the races is $5. For more information call (804)293-8169 Virginia Fall Races For the second year the Middleburg Hunt will host a two-day meet at Glenwood Park near Middleburg, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7. This will be the 30th year for the Middleburg Hunt races. The course is regarded by many jockeys and horsemen as one of the finest in the country in terms of footing. It was designed by the late William duPont who built 33 race courses including those at Delaware Park and Fair Hill, Md. “From a horse and rider’s viewpoint, and a spectator’s, it is one of the best planned courses in the country," says Mrs. A. C. Randolph, MFH of the Piedmont Hunt and chairman of the Middleburg race committee. “The turns are not too sharp, the going is properly up and down and the jumps are properly placed.” Twelve races, for $35,000 in purses, will be held over the two-day meet which begins both days at 2 p.m. Prior to the meet patrons and sponsors of the races will be able to go foxhunting with the Piedmont Hunt on Saturday and the Middleburg-Orange County Beagles on Sunday. Hunt breakfasts will be given after both hunts before the races begin. On the first day of racing there will be two claiming races, one for non-winners of two, a maiden race for three-year-olds and one for older horses, an allowance race and a non-winners of two race. All the races will be at two miles over hurdles except the allowance which will be over 2 Vi miles. If any race on the card is not filled the substitute race will be 11 vi-mile turf race for three-year-olds and up with a $1,000 purse. On Sunday, Oct. 7, the first two races are three miles over timber, one for maidens. Hie third race is a rider opportunity race for three-year-olda and up who are non-winners of five sanctioned races. Riders who have not won a sanctioned race will be allowed seven pounds. This is a 1 Vi- mile turf race with a $1,000 purse. A maiden two-mile turf race for three-year-olds and up follows with a purse of $1,000. Amateur riders are acceptable in this race. The fifth and sixth races are IV'* miles on the turf for three-year-olds and up, one being for maidens, with purses of $1,000. The substitute race will be a $3,000 hurdle for non-winners of two, four-yearolds and up. Amateur riders are acceptable for this three-mile race. Glenwood Park is on Route 626 north of Middleburg. General admission is $5. For more information call (703)687-6662, or 687-6079. Morven Park Races The fifth annual Morven Park Races, offering $25,000 in purses, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 13, at the estate of the late Virginia Gov. Westmoreland Davis. The feature race of the day is a $10,000 allowance race at 2Vi miles over hurdles. The theme for the Morven Park races will be a salute to the Virginia thoroughbred breeding industry, and sponsors include the Maryland National Bank, Moet Chardon Champagne and the Dowdy Group. A special award will also be given to the groom of the best turnedout horse for each race. Other races at the meet include a $2,000 maiden claimer at two miles, a

Focus Titles On The Line In Autumn By CLIVE CARNIE AraaMNmnpapmStaffWrttar Fall is traditionally the season when championships are decided in the world of steeplechase racing, and this year is not likely to be an exception. Four year-end steeplechase championships — for owners, trainers, jockeys and horses — are decided by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA), the sanctioning body for the sport in this country. Also at stake is the Eclipse award for the steeplechase horse of the year, selected by the Thoroughbred Racing Association, the National Turf Writers’ Association and The Daily Racing Form. “The Eclipse award for Steeplechaser of the Year is usually based on key stakes races in the fall,” said William Gallo Jr., racing secretary of the NSHA. “These indude the steeplechasing Triple Crown (consisting of the American Grand National at Foxfield, Charlottesville, the Temple Gwathmey at Belmont, N. Y., and the Colonial Cup at Camden, S. C.) and two other big stakes races at Belmont and Far Hills, New Jersey.” With at least 11 race meets phis stakes races at Belmont yet to be run this (all, the leaders in all championship categories are likely to change several times before the season ends Nov. 18 with the Colonial Cup. In the NSHA standings for leading horse, based on money earned, the current leader is Census, owned by George E. Chase of Atlanta, Ga., on three jump races and one flat race out of eight starts for earnings of $73,356. Census’ three jump wins have been in the $36,000 Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville, Tenn., the $35,000 Bolla Hard JONATHAN SHEPPARD ... leading trainer GEORGE STRAWBRIDGE ... leading owner Scuffle in Prospect, Ky., in which he beat last year’s undefeated Steeplechaser of the Year, William L. Pape’s Flatterer, and the $25,000 High Hope at Lexington, Ky. Census is trained by Janet Elliot of Unionville, Pa., who is currently the third leading steeplechase trainer in the country, and is ridden by Jeff Teter, also of Unionville, who heads the jockeys’ standings to date. Two of Census’ losses this season have been to Flatterer, who last year became the only horse ever to win steeplechasing’s Triple Crown on the way to his championship award. Flatterer is currently second on the leading horse list with two jump wins and one flat win from five starts for earnings of $63,610. The two jump wins under the able guidance of jockey Jerry Fishback, currently second in the jockeys’ stand ings, were in the $50,000 Delta Air LinesBear Stearns Cup at Atlanta and the $40,000 New York Turf Writers’ Cup at Saratoga. Census was second in both races. Flatterer is trained by Jonathan Sheppard who has been the leading steeplechase trainer in the United States for the last 12 years. Mr. Sheppard is once again the leading trainer this year with 116 starts, 16 wins over fences and three wins on the flat. The NSHA awards trainers two points for a jump win and one for win on the flat, giving Mr. Sheppard a total of 35 points. This year at the Saratoga Springs nee meet (Aug. 1-27), horses trained by Mr. Sheppard won six of the eight steeplechase races at the meet. He also had two seconds, two thirds and a fourth from 15 starters. “Jonathan Sheppard’s performance at Saratoga this year was nothing short of phenomenal,” Mr. Gallo said. “A total of 1190,000 in purses was awarded there for jump races and he won $114,000 of it! His horses also won three races on the flat, making him the leading trainer at the meet. Now he is way ahead in terms of money won.” Mr. Sheppard, who is originally from Newmarket, Engluid, has been training horses for 21 years. The horses he trains regularly account for 20 to 26 percent of all steeplechase purses in this country. Besides Flatterer, Mr. Sheppard also trains Double Reefed and Gateshead for George Strawbridge’s Augustin Stables, Skin The Cat for William S. Farish and his own horse, Eremite.

Augustin Stables Again Leads The Field Continued from Pace 9 this year Flatterer is second, Double Reefed third, Gateshead fourth, Skin The Cat sixth and Eremite ninth. Frank Raquet of Nashville, Tenn., is second in the trainers’ standings with 60 starts, 14 jump wins and four wins an the flat fin* a total of 82 points. Until the Saratoga meet last month Mr. Raquet was the leading trainer following a prosperous spring with his principal runner, John R. Neal’s Prince Saran, winning the Middleburg Hunt Cup and placing second in the Virginia Gold Cup. v Janet Elliot, who is originally from Ireland but now lives in Unhmville, Pa., is a close third in the trainer standings with 72 starts, 15 jump wins and me fiat win for 31 points. Ms. Elliot has the highest percentage of winners of any steeplechase trainer and was the leading trainer of brash jumpers until the Saratoga meet with Census being her main runner. Some of the credit for Ms. Elliot’s accomplishments most go to Mr. Sheppard for whom she worked as an assistant trainer for several years. Fourth in the trainer standings is D. M. (Mike) Smithwick of Middleburg with 00 starts, eight jump wins and one flat win for 17 points. Mr. Smithwick is the leading steeplechase trainer of aD time and is in the Steepisrhass Hall Of Fame in Saratoga. He trains Doable Sparkle for Thomas Ashbridge III of White Post, which won the $20,000 timber race at Arlington Park, 111., the richest steeplechase race in the country, and then won his next start at Fair Hill in Maryland over the Labor Day weekend. In the battle for leading owner, George Strawbridge’s Augustin Stables currently leads the standings with 20 horses raced, six jump wins and three flat wins for a total of $106,645. If Augustin is the champion owner this year, it will be the 10th time the UnionviUe-based stable has won the award. The two leading horses from Augustin Stable are Double Reefed, who won the $80,000 A. P. Smith wick Memorial Handicap at Saratoga, and Gateshead, who won a $80,000 overnight handicap at Saratoga and an allowance race at Lexing ton, Ky. Augustin also owns Hawaild, winner of the $12,600 Tangle wood Cup at Tangiewood Park in Clemmons, N. C. Census is the only hone currently running for George E. Chase, but his spectacular race record has been enough to place his owner second in the standings. In third place on the owner’s list is Mr. Pape, owner of Flatterer, Slang and Sky bird. Flatterer has accounted for Mr. Pape’s two jump wins and one flat win and most of the $66,640 his owner has earned. William S. Farish is fourth on the owners’ list with fire hones need, live wins over jumps and one on the flat for earnings of $49,021.

With 14 Victories, Teter Leads Jockeys Continued from Page 10 of the $12,500 USF&G Cup at Fair Hill, Md., Pantanillo, winner of a $10,000 allowance race at Monmouth Park, N. J., and Skin The Cat who broke her maiden at Saratoga and then won a non-winners of two race her next time out. The race for the leading jockey is missing one of its star performers this year. An injury has forced John Cushman,, a 28-year-old native of Camden, S. C., to retire from steeplechase racing after being the leading jump rider in the country for the past four years. While exercising a two-year-old runner at the Camden Training Center, Mr. Cushman was thrown, severing ligaments in his left leg. Surgery on the leg in February failed to fully repair the damage and, according to the rider, the leg is not strong enough for him to be able to race again. Instead of riding Mr. Cushman will now raise yearlings and train jumpers. At the end of the year the leading jump jockey receives the Bollinger Cup and an award of $1,500 from Julius Wile Sons & Co. Importers. Mr. Cushman has won the award three times. Jeff Teter of Unionville, Pa., who has guided Census to all of his wins this season, currently leads the jockeys’ race with 14 wins over jumps and two on the flat from 66 mounts thus far. As in the trainers’ standings, jockeys are given two points for a jump win and one for a flat win, making Mr. Teter’s score 30 points. Mr. Teter’s lead becomes a lot more remarkable when it is realized that he broke his collarbone in a fall at the Radnor, Pa., meet May 19. Second in the jockey standings is Jerry Fishback of Camden, S. C., who took Mr. Cushman’s place as Flatterer’s regular jockey following that rider’s retirement. Returning to racing this year after a five-year retirement, Mr. Fishback has achieved the highest percentage of wins of any jockey thus far with 10 jump wins from 31 mounts for a score of 20 points. Prior to his retirement he won the jockey championship five times. Several young jockeys from Unionville follow Mr. Fishback in the standings. All are in their twenties and work for different trainers on the steeplechase circuit, many of whom also live in this area of Pennsylvania. In third place is Bernie Houghton who has nine jump wins and one flat win from 63 starts, giving him 19 points. Ben Guessford is fourth with eight jump wins and two on the flat and a score of 18 points from 52 mounts. Jimmy Day follows with six jump wins and four flat wins out of 55 starts for 16 points. Ricky Hendricks is in sixth place with six jump and two flat wins from 70 starts for 14 points. None of the top scorers in any of the championships has a substantial lead going into the fall season and there are still many races before the year’s end. One race meet, Rolling Rock in Ligonier, Pa^ has closed down but a new meet, Great Meadow in The Plains, has been added to the schedule, offering a full and exciting season of racing. “There are a lot of good things happening with this sport this year,” said Mr. Gallo. “Overall hunt meets are doing very well, we have some new meets and purses are up all around which should bring more owners and horses into the sport, and hopefully bigger crowds.” — Dorter Lee* for Araadd Newspapers CENSUS ... leading horse Got An Idea?

What’s New Oct. 20 ‘Should Be Very Exciting’ By CLIVE CARNIE AninM Nonwm SUIT Writer The Virginia fall steeplechase circuit welcomes a newcomer to its ranks this season with the inaugural running of the Great Meadow races Saturday, Oct. 20. “This new meet should be very exciting,” said William Gallo Jr., racing secretary of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA), the governing body of American steeplechase races. “It is always interesting to look on a new horizon in this sport and it is nice to see the sport expanding on the hunt meet level.” The history of Great Meadow began some nine or ten miles away at Broadview Farm at Warrenton where the famed Virginia Gold Cup was run from 1935 to 1984. Brdadview’s location on the outskirts of Warrenton makes it a prime site for future development, and for its last 20 years at the course the Gold Cup Race Committee knew that it was only a matter of time before they lost the race course to “urban development”. Unfortunately they did not have the hinds to buy the Broadview site themselves. In 1981 the race committee was informed by Broad view’s owners that they could only stay at the course a maximum of four more years at which time their lease would run out. In order to try to find a new site to keep the historic 60-year-old timber race going, the Gold Cup race committee formed another committee from its own ranks. Heading the committee was Arthur W. “Nick” Arundel, a news executive from The Plains. The site that Mr. Arundel found for the Gold Cup was Great Meadow, approximately nine miles from Warrenton near the small town of The Plains. “In January 1982 on the steps of the Warrenton courthouse I bought what is now Great Meadow in a bankruptcy foreclosure auction for $2 million,” Mr. Aran del said of the purchase. “I bought it because the Gold Cup committee did not have enough money to buy the land themselves." The 500-acre tract of land Mr. Arundel bought was not known as Great Meadow when it was purchased, but instead was referred to as “that big old crayfish field” because of its poor drainage. Unconcerned by the state of the land he had bought, Mr. Arundel named it Great Meadow with the admonition that “while we seek to create a place with the mystique of Aintree (the site of the world’s most famous steeplechase, the Grand National in England), we shall first have to just earn the adjective ‘Great’ here on this soggy weed patch. ” In order to cure the drainage problem a six-mile drainage system was constructed beneath the course at a cost of close to $50,000. Excess water is now drained into a small lake in the center of the course, creating a visually appealing centerfield, as well as being practical. Following the construction of the drainage system the site was seeded with a special mixture based on a-m^jor English-French race course turf study adapted to Virginia soil and climate conditions, including Fortress fescue used on American football fields. Unfortunately less than two months after the course was seeded a huge rainstorm washed away some 25 tons of topsoil, necessitating reseeding and repairing. Mr. Arundel’s intentions for Great Meadow were that it be used as a center for large open field events that could not be accommodated by metropolitan stadiums such as the Capital Center or RFK. In April 1963, this became a reality when the Fauquier County Board of SuperviContinued on Page 14 —AiMMMw^pwUnoOhtQnic Great Meadow is a new field events cento* near The Plains Riders gallop in front of the lake in the center of the new Great Meadow race course — Arundel Newipepen Photo/Clive Cm

In December 1983 Mr. Arundel gave the basic land for the race course to the non-profit Meadow Outdoors Foundation which then became the trustees and managers of the race course. The Foundation is headed by four trustees — George L. Ohretrom of New York and The Plains, Maximilian A. Tufts and Allen L. Olson of Warrenton and Mr. Arundel. Following Mr. Arundel’s gift of the land and a newly required tax deductible status for the field events center, donations to the site began to come in from the local community to help complete the Great Meadow facilities. One of the most recent, and noticeable, gifts to the foundation was the $50,000 sound system used at the Los Angeles Coliseum for the 1984 Summer Olympics. This system, along with the recently constructed steward’s stand, was tested, Sunday, Sept. 9, when Great Meadow was officially opened to the public, just over a month before its first race meet, Oct. 20. Reception for the new course from the crowd, jockeys and officials at the opening ceremony was extremely positive and ticket sales for the race meet increased dramatically, some even selling out before the end of the day. “Comments we received that day i from professional horsemen and the com| munity have given us confidence that i we’re on the right track here,” said Mr. k Arundel following the grand opening. | Great Meadow is different from most ' other courses in that it is predominantly flat, with only a few small undulations, and its fences are large and solid. This will invariably make racing fast and furious at the course but it should prove to be a big crowd pleaser. “Most of the horses that run at Great Meadow this fall will probably be from Maryland and Pennsylvania,” said D. M. “Speedy” Smith wick, an amateur steeplechase jockey from Middleburg. "They are used to large solid timber fences up there; I Virginia timber horses are more used to the smaller fences of the point-to-point courses. “The large fences shouldn’t be a problem for experienced horses and I think the turf will be fine. I was amazed at the cushion it had, it was much softer than I thought it would be considering the small amount of rain we have had recently.” Great Meadow will hold six NSHAsanctioned races at its meet this fall. A total of $44,000 in purses will be awarded, including $15,000 for the feature race, the International Gold Cup. The International Gold Cup was originally held at the now disbanded Rolling Rock races at Ligonier, Pa., where it was a brush race. At Great “The large fences shouldn't be a problem for experienced horses and I think the turf will be fine.99 — Smithwick Meadow it will be a 3V«-mile timber race. Although it will be the inaugural meet for the new race course, and thus an historic and memorable occasion, the fall meet is actually just a primer for the Virginia Gold Cup which will be held at Great Meadow the first Saturday in May, 1986. For Mr. Arundel and the Gold Cup committee it will be the culmination of many years of hard work and the realization of a dream. “It’s my fondest hope,” said Mr. Arundel, “that Great Meadow will live up to the high standards and great tradition set over the past 60 years at Broadview and its predecessor courses.” An investment opportunity for the '80s.

Fall Season Has New Race, May Lose Montpelier Continued from Pace 6 $3,000 maiden and a $8,600 non-winners of two, both at 2tt miles, a $2,600 claimer at two miles and a $4,000 allowance timber race of 3Vi miles. A substitute flat race will be offered if insufficient entries are recieved for any of the other races. After the races, the Museum of Faxhunting in the Westmoreland Davis mansion will be formally opened. The day after the races the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center will be dedicated and the new student union at the Morven Park International Equestrian Institute will be opened. Although modern-day steeplechasing has taken {dace at Morven Park only the last four years, the site was used for flat racing more than 100 years ago. “There are written records that the Jockey Chib of Leesburg sponsored races at, or near, Morven Park in 1811,” said Dr. Joseph Rogers, MFH of the Loudoun Hunt and chairman of the Morven Park races. “There are not too many obvious sites to have horse racing here and it seems that it would fit in weD with the present site. It might have been a little closer to the roed, however.” The current races were a childhood dream of Dr. Rogers that he, and other members of the Loudoun Hunt, suggested to the William Davis Foundation, trustees of Morven Park. Although the foundation allows the races to run on its land it does not contribute any money to purses. All purse money comes from corporate spon sore. The Morven Park course was designed by Arthur McCaahin, a founding member of the races and one of the foremost steeplechase course designers in the country. A near design by Mr. McCaahin, a breakaway jump standard designed not to injure the hone, will be used for the first time in this country at the Morven Park meet. Morven Park is on Route 15 about two miles north of Leesburg. General admission to the races is $3. For more information call (703)777-2414 Great Meadow Races The Great Meadow meet Saturday, Oct. 20, promises to be an exciting and Hglcome newcomer to the traditional Virginia fall steeplechase circuit. The new course near The Plains will host six sanctioned races with a total of (44,000 in purses. The first race will begin at 1:30 p.m. The feature race at Great Meadow will be the $15,000 International Gold Cup, a 3V4-miie open timber race. It will be the richest purse ever offered at a hunt meet. The International Gold Cup was originally a brush stakes race when it was run at the now disbanded Rolling Rock Hunt races in Ligonier, Pa. Virginia Gov. Charles S. Robb will present the spectacular trophy. Other races on the card include a (5,000 maiden brush at two miles, a (7,000 novice timber race at three miles, a (6,000 novice brush at two miles, a (10,000 open brush at 2Vi miles and a (1,000 amateur flat race at two miles. Great Meadow was established three years ago by Arthur W. Arundel, president of the Meadow Outdoor Foundation which manages the facility. Its purpose is two-fold, according to Mr. Arundel. It will serve as a new center for large field sports which cannot be accommodated by such Washington area facilities as RFK Stadium or the Capital Centre and it will provide a .new permanent home for the Virginia Gold Cup —the first Saturday in May — which was forced to leave its previous course, Broadview Farm at Warrenton, when its lease expired last year. The fall meet at Great Meadow will act as a teat for officials at the course in preparation for next year’s Gold Cup, the first to be held at the facility. Spectator response to the new Great Meadow race meet has been very strong and several of the resowed ticket areas have been sold out, including the Broadview Boxes, members’ luncheon tickets and steward’s stand reserve parking, according to racing secretary Bill Myzk. Tickets are selling Cut in several of the other reserved sites, especially the north and south rails. Great Meadow opens at 10 a.m. with a pony race scheduled for noon. At 1 p.m. there will be a carriage parade and the first race gets under way at 1:90 p.m. The course is located on Route 246 between Route 17 and the 1-66 interchange. General admission is $7. For more information call (703)253-6001 or 347-6962 Montpelier Hunt Races The future of Virginia’s oldest races has been uncertain since Marion duPont Scott, the founder of the races, died last September. “A good deal of litigation about Montpelier has not yet been settled,” explains V. R. Shackelford Jr., the late Mrs. Scott’s attorney and the chairman of the Montpelier races. “Everyone in Orange hopes the races will keep going, and it is my understanding that the National Trust (to whom Mrs. Scott deeded the Montpelier Estate) expects to continue to have the races there.” But the National Trust for Historic Preservation does not yet own Montpelier. When Mrs. Scott died the estate went to her five nieces and nephews under the circumstances or her tamer wmiam auPont’s will. Mr. duPont’s will stated that if Mrs. Scott had no children the estate would pass on after her death to any surviving nieces and nephews. In her will Mrs. Scott left $10 million to be given to the National Trust to acquire more than 800 acres of the 2,600acre estate, including the race course and the large white-columned house where the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, lived until his death in 1838. However, three months after Mrs. Scott’s death two of her nephews filed suits charging that provisions in their late aunt’s will pertaining to the National Trust are her attempts to frustrate her father’s will. Current litigation is trying to reach an adequate settlement between the National Trust and Mrs. Scott’s nephews. But until a settlement has been reached, the future of the Montpelier races is uncertain. “This office is going to do everything in its power to make sure the Montpelier races come off,” says Beverly Rees, public affairs officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “At the moment it is a question of who has title to the property. We hope to be able to reach an agreement with Mrs. Scott’s heirs soon, but as yet nothing is certain.” If the National Trust does win the title to the property it is likely that the 60year-old Montpelier races will remain virtually unchanged, with the exception that an entrance fee may be charged to cover fees and maintenance of the course. .

Style The Art Of Proper Tailgating By WENDY SIZER Ar—lri Niw^nin SyeUI WriUr Move over Miss Manners. It’s time to monopolize the soapbox momentarily for a few doe and don’ts about the venerable tradition of tailgating, that chic form of entertainment performed at every steeplechase meet in Virginia. Now, dear reader, lest you be among the uninitiated, let me tell you that tailgating is a social art form. It involves eating, drinking, chitchatting, seeing and, most importantly, bong seen. Now there are some who come to a race meet, plop down on the tailgate of a pickup, slosh down a Michelob or two or three or four and gnaw on a KFC drumstick. Plainly, ths form of tailgating » hardly a Harden and Weaver winner. What we address here is Serious Tailgating. Rolls Royces. Butlers. Candelabra. Gourmet cuisine. Champagne. Straw boaters in the spring. Tweed cuts in the fall. This, dear reader, is the other end of the tailgate spectrum. This is where social reputations are made and unmade between sips of Dom Perignon and nibbles of Beluga. So, now a few tips for the Serious Tailgater • DON'T gawk at Jackie 0. In Virginia Hunt Country she’s just one of the gang. It is most unchk to stare openmouthed or ask for her autograph. Only a select few are entitled to offer Jackie a place of honor at their tailgates, so bite your tongue if the urge comes over you. • DO be very selective about which race meets to attend. The Gold Cup Races in May are a MUST. Hie Piedmont Races, also in the spring, come highly recommended as are the Middleburg and Great Meadow Races in the fall. “Even liverwurst can be served with panache if one possesses certain social skills." “Don’t gawk at Jackie O. In Virginia Hunt Country she's just one of the gang." Serious Tailgatere already are jockeying for reserved parking at next month's Great Meadow Races. You see, Ducky, it’s the new kid on the Mock, so to speak. It’s also supposed to be the Rolls Royce of steeplechases and, quite naturally, Serious Tailgatere want to Bee if that’strue. • DON'T put together a tailgate beyond your means. There’s nothing more sickmaking than watching someone so obviously trying to break into certain social circles by serving squab and champagne when he or she should be serving fried chicken and chilled chablis. Even liverwurst can be served with panache if one possesses certain social skills. • DON’T be afraid to crash a tailgate, but do it akillftiHy. Saunter by your quarry, gaze admiringly at the floral arrangements on the tailgate and let the compliments flow . . . but subtly. Don’t be too effusive or everyone will know you’re just there to filch the goodies. • DO make every effort to meet members of the opposite sex, but only if they are single. Again, select your quarry and pretend you never heard the scratches for the next race being broadcast over the loudspeaker system. Looking every bit a steeplechase enthusiast (pencil poised over the race program), sidle up to your quarry standing at a tailgate and explain your dilemma If conversation stalls after receiving the scratches, assume your quarry is: a) disinterested, b) married, c) in a Serious Relationship with Someone Else or d) cares too much about the next race to be bothered with idle chitchat. Thank your quarry and depart Alter all, there are more scratches to go before the day is over. The above is also recommended for tailgate crashing. • DO attend a race meet looking the part You and your tailgate will go nowhere if you don’t For the spring races, gentlemen should wear Preppy Attire. Blue blazers, straw boaters, loafers (Guccis are OUT), grey flannels or white ducks (depending on the weather and bow far into the spring season we are), an appropriate Oxford shirt and yellow tie (they’re all the rage this year, don’t you know!). For advice on attire, forget Brooks Brothers. Get it from Ralph Lauren Polo shops or, at least, Britches. If you’re really in a bind, consult The Offieial Preppy Handbook. It’s a tad outdated and refers to football tailgating, not steeplechasing, but it will do in a crunch. Ladies are expected to come property dressed in the latest fashions. Those opting for floppy straw hats should garnish them with top-of-the-line silk flowers. Real flowers wilt after the first race or the fourth Bloody Mary, whichever occurs first. Trousers (wide-wale cords, naturally) are acceptable at the early spring or late fall meets when the weather is nippy. • DO accessorize your tailgate, but nothing too showy. Floral arrangements are popular, but the latest fed are those cute little foxes attired in scarlet jackets, white breeches and black boots. You see, steeplechasing attracts the foxhunting set, hence the emphasis on foxes. There’s a catch to the little fox accessory though. Invariably some greedy little ankle later comes along and tries to purloin it for his or her stuffed animal collection. So one needs to keep a sharp eye out, and that’s not easy after the second bourbon and water. Before you know it, poof! Toodles, little fox. Some people have even adorned their tailgates with real stuffed foxes, but this is not recommended. If you don’t know who the taxidermist was, you could end up with fox brash moul tings foiling into your devilled eggs. Icky Poo! • DON’T get roaring drank at any race meet. Virginia race courses are teeming with members of the local constabulary who frown upon such activity. Hard partying begins in private homes after the races are over. Gaining access to these private parties depends entirely on your success at tailgate crashing. Alas, the editors of this publication have given me just a few miserable inches to explain dos and donts that could HO a book. So, dear reader, if you have a question or two, do pleaae write in. Address your correspondence to: Tailgate Tessie, do The Fauquier Democrat, P.O. Box 681, Warrenton, Va. 22186. Ta ta, dahlingB. Scrumptious tailgating to you all.

Preview The Sport Moves South For Autumn By ANN BARKER O-— 1 — 1 UT-lA^. woti iwv^yinBpmB wmer While an unquestionably successful season of summer steeplechasing has just drawn to a close, the upcoming fell schedule on the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association calendar looks to be even more inviting. Already the golden anniversary celebration at Fair Hill is part of the history books and recapped elsewhere in this section, and for the next live weekends the spotlight will be turned on Virginia where the bulk of the sport between the flags will take place. Additions and deletions to the annual fall schedule are noteworthy here. It is with great sadness that the 50th anniversary of steeplechasing at Montpelier is absent from the NSHA condition book. The traditional date was reserved for the meeting the late Marion duront Scott planned, supported and opened to the public at her Montpelier Station estate. NSHA president William L. Pape, in a letter to the senior membership dated Aug. 11, reported Montpelier officials issued the following statement: “It is the expressed hope of the National Trust for Historic Preservation that the 50th anniversary of steeplechase running at Montpelier will be observed on November 3 aa presently scheduled. The racing community is encouraged to believe that every effort is being made to assure the running of the Noel Laing. ” However, Racing Secretary William Gallo Jr. said Sept. 12 from his office at Belmont Park, **1 wma asked not to include the conditions for the Montpelier races in the fall condition book. Its renewal this fall remains uncertain at this time.” On the ptua aide, the long-awaited Great Meadow races on Oct. 20 have the steeplechase community in a fine state of 'anticipation. This meticulously designed and built racing frdHty will open its doors * to jump racing with a couple of plums designed to attract the finest timber hones in the nation and provide enough incentive for the brash hones and amateur riders to partake of the attractive purse structure. It is at Great Meadow that the International Gold Cup will De revived. True, the greet gold-plated cup, first given at the late great Grasslands meeting in the foil of 1981, has not been out of circulation for any time at afi. Last year Mrs. Wallace Lanahan’s Sugar Bee, ridden by Gregg Morris, won it at Ligonier, Pa., over the tough championship brush course. r This season the Gold Cup will carry ■ with it a purse of $16,000 and will be presented to the best timber horse of the afternoon. * Former Rolling Rock race chairman Alfred Hunt also sent over the Torrence Miller Cup to be contested over the twomile brush course at the inaugural Great Meadow meeting. On Sept. 22 Delaware Park, revived this spring after being idle for two years, will offer four jumping races on its regular 10-race card. Originally scheduled as a double-header with jumping in the afternoon and flat racing at night, it was turned into a three-day weekend meeting Continued on Page 19 — Doughs Lew for Awdd Mwwfyn Charlie Fenwick, Turney McKnight and Bruce Davidson battle over the timber at Fair Hill, Md.

Each Course Has Different Conditions Continued from Page 17 by Park officials because of the failure to install lighting. The meet began Sept. 1 and will continue through Dec. 2. While both Delaware Park ’chasing and Great Meadow’s inaugural meet are in direct opposition to long-standing meetings at Fairfax and Red Bank, N. J., NSHA officials are confident there will be little conflict in arranging entries at both places. “The race conditions are different at each place,” Bill Gallo confirmed. “And with the conditions as written there is enough variety to suit every horse.” Of special note to horsemen, the Delaware Park meeting this weekend will be run under the Delaware Race Commission rules of medication. Normally no medication is permitted under NSHA rules, the exception this fall being Delaware Park. Racing over fences at Belmont Park is expanded to two days, the first on Sept. 21 with the revival of the Brook after an absence of 13 years. The $40,000-added, 2Vt-mile chase follows in the natural progression of the rich fall classics. “There is a certain level of quality in stakes-calibre horses,” Mr. Gallo commented. “The ranks thin out in both jump and flat racing when you are near the top. When a horse is between 10 and 20 pounds better than anyone else, it gets down to a handful of entries and frankly I am worried about filling the classic races this fall. “We have Flatterer and Census to consider. Flatterer beat Census in At“The ranks thin out in both jump and flat racing when you are near the top." — Bill Gallo luita and in the New York Turf Writers’ Cup. Census beat Flatterer in Prospect, Ky. If Flatterer runs in the Brook, will he run back in the Grand National at Foxfield, the lint leg of steeplechasing's Triple Crown? Will Census try for both?" r Those questions remained unanswered at this writing. Hien there is the specter of the great Zacrio. He galloped Sept. 12 in his final prep for an allowance flat race at Fair Hill. Should the suspensory and splint problems that have plagued the threetime champion recur, it is probable that he will be retired. Should he be fit to run — and trainer Burley Cocks has been waiting from moment to moment these past 24 months — can Zacrio return to the brilliant form that carried him to 18 jumping victories and earnings of $286,799 in three years of raring over fences? Waiting in the wings of the stakes runners’ stage are Thrice Worthy, Double Reefed, TWas Ever Thus, Le Sauteur, Census, Flatterer, Romeo Lima and the fine four-year-olds Danmore, Eremite, Skin The Cat and others. The French-bred filly Sans Commission, a winner of five in her native country but well beaten in the Turf Writers shortly after her arrival here, looms as added color to the rich stakes program this fall. The allowance horses and maidens are abundant enough to promise excitement in their categories. The three-yearold jumpers are numerous this fall, and barring mishap should provide exciting sport in the “baby” races. With Middleburg Fall Races offering timber on Sunday and brush racing on Saturday, this unique program devised by Steve Groat and his committees should prove a popular one the weekend of Oct. 6-7. The brush championship hangs in the balance between Flatterer and Census at this point. The timber championship is also in question. Double Sparkle scrambled out two important late summer and early autumn victories at Arlington Park and Fair Hill. Re-entered in open competition on Fair Hill’s second day, can this Spring Double seven-year-old novice timber horse take over from the brilliant exploits of the Hill Brothers — Bewley’s Hill and Freeman’sHill — in the spring? Can Redgate return to form that led him to timber honors last seasonTIt’s a wide open picture over the post and rail. Will Prince Saran, the upstart from Tennessee, invade the East again to swoop up the money and the pots and pans? The fall season ends as it has for the past 14 years with the renewal of the Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup. This 2 3/4mile test has decided the champion brush horse each year for the past decade. With a purse structure of $50,000 and top horses from abroad invited to participate, the Colonial Cup this season promises to maintain its lock on the best of the lot. Jeff Teter, the 21-year-old Unionville, Pa., native, holds a four-length lead over Jerry Fishback in the jockey standings as of Sept. 13, with 10 wins to his credit. Bemie Houghton is next with nine wins over fences. In the trainer ranks, Jonathan Sheppard jumped into first place after winning six of eight steeplechases at Saratoga. Janet Elliot has 15 jump wins, Frank Raquet 14, Ronnie Houghton eight and Burley Cocks seven. Apparently these titles will be decided at the last few race meetings this fall.

Jeff Teter comes a cropper daring races at Rolling Rock, Pa. Fortunately both he and his mount got op and walked away A Summer Of Exposure, Intensity By ANN BARKER AimM Nnwm 8»kW Wrttar Well, there we were on CBS in na♦onal TV coverage. If you were out sailing or sunning Saturday, Aug. 18, and failed to watch the coverage of the Travers Stakes from Saratoga, N. Y., you missed steeplechasing presented in its finest light — at the Spa. The sport was given ftirther exposure throughout the country on various stations with Ed Doobrow’s sensitive television coverage of the Atlanta Steeplechase. Summer steeplechasing commenced just 10 days after the end of the spring circuit at Fair Hill. After the maiden ’chase was cancelled on June 18 at Monmouth Park, the allowance horses had their shot the following day when a full field of 12 non-winners of two races stepped out on the inner turf track at the Oceanport, N. J-, facility. The ensuing race was not exactly a showplace for the sport, as five starters failed to finish and one had to jump that great fence in the sky. Jerry Fishback aboard Bill Farish’s Pantanillo kept his cool, avoiding fallen riders to prevail by four lengths over Jimmy Day and Mi Caballo at the end of the 214-mile route. Trouble began early w hen JeffTeter and Flasher caught a beacon, injuring Teter’s knee. Bemie Houghton on Shaban lost an iron, shook the other off but finished in third regardless. 4 Jack In The Box and Sir Wilson broke down and Class Blast fell at the last and had to be destroyed. The following day wasn’t all that much better. From a field of 11 maidens, only seven finished, and it was Ricky Hendriks riding LeQuinze Stable’s Native Society who bested Dick McWade and Protmeirion by a neck. The winner, trained by Tommy Skiffington for his first jumping victory as a trainer, returned $4.60 to win. James Lawrence and Sampson Hall crashed heavily after leading much of the way. Mitey Dewan, Another Reporter and Ahwaz all jumped poorly and were taken out of the race, leaving seven to finish with much daylight between them. The Midsummer Handicap provided a showcase for Marianne Smith-McDamels Le Sauteur and a whole lot of excitement for Ronnie Houghton and his family. While son Bemie answered the call on Uncle Edwin, Ben Guessford had the winner off to a four-length victory over Census with substitute rider Billy Martin in the irons. Thrice Worthy under a 160-pound impost made the pace much of the way until he faltered to finish fifth. A month later the steeplechase horses moved into Belmont Park for an allowance ’chase designed as a prep for Sa-. ratoga. It was here that Romeo Lima made his spectacular return to the races after an absence of three full years. Formerly owned by Peter Brandt and trained by Frank Whiteley, the Buckpasser gelding broke down in the 1981 version of the Midsummer handicap at Monmouth. Turned over to Andrea King, Romeo Lima was conditioned at Delaware Park’s training center, and pulled off a spectacular performance with Billy Martin sitting quietly in the saddle as the pair winged it along by as much as 30 to 40 lengths in front of the other nine horses at one point in the race. Bruce Wagner on Mi Caballo stalked the leader ahead of the others to finish in place over Kirk Griggs on his Steve Canyon. Uncle Edwin got the closest of the others, but Netherby, Deify, Heart of the Desert, Flasher, Sugar Bee and Midnight Decision were all left in the winner’s wake. Those old enough to remember Romeo Lima’s early career and wager $2 on his nose were rewarded with a $29.60 payoff. The summer scene shifted to Saratoga, N. Y., with a revamped jumping schedule. NYRA carded one jumping race on each Thursday and Friday of the month-long Saratoga meeting and with much success. Jonathan Sheppard had preened his string of jumpers and flat horses to emerge as the leading trainer in number of races won at the Spa, winning six of the eight jumping contests, plus three on the flat. Janet Elliot and Barbara McWade had one jump win apiece. Opening day for the jumpers with the eligibility rule of finishing first, second or third at an NSHA sanctioned meeting in effect, brought out a field of 10 maidens. Skin The Cat, a four-year-old Cougar II gelding, partnered by Fishback and owned by Bill Farish, ran and jumped like a pro to outlast Joan Hopewell’s Smart Reply and Sally Brittle’s Bohemia Creek. National Steeplechase Day at the Spa began with morning schooling on the main turf course for breakfasting race fans and ended with cocktails in the gardens of the Reading Room. The Lovely Night was re placed with a steeplechase handicap worth a $30,000 pot. Jerry Fishback accepted the mount on T’Was Ever Thus, while Jeff Teter had the other half of the Sheppard entry. Double Reefed. The race belonged to Double Reefed who came with a late rally to get up to the wire 40 feet in front of his stablemate. The following week, Skin The Cat again took over the winner’s circle, with Virginia Payson’s A. Laguerre (Dick McWade) second and Corrib Duke third in a field of 12 allowance ’chasers. The next day, the Barbara McWade conditioned Publisher took advantage of Fishback’s error in judgment to get inside on the final turn and tak“ uome the winner’s share of that $15,000 purse.

— DoutUs I ffi for Arundel Newamxn Rounding the turn in a hurdle race at Fair Hill, Md. Good Summer Season Continued from Pace 21 Carrying 146 pounds and Rkky Hendricks, Augustin Stables’ Gateshead won the feature Aug. 16 in a handy manner over Danmore and Derry Rumroe. Fishback came unglued from TWas Ever Thus at the sixth hedge, injuring his hand, but a bandaged hand did not deter him from taking the mount on Eremite the following afternoon and piloting that Timber Bay Stable colorbearer home by a wide margin over the game Smart Reply. The short field of six was reduced when Atop It All refused to break. Mrs. Henry ElseFs Too Few Stripes, out of action for several years, returned to win the claiming ’chase on the final Thursday afternoon of jumping. Partnered by Jeff Teter, the pair got the best of Coconut Creek and Netherby in the field of 10. Flatterer and Census, Double Reefed, Romeo Lima and the Frenchbred filly Sans Commission made up the , field for the 43rd running of the $43,250 New York Turf Writers Cup. With Fishback on Flatterer at 164 pounds and Teter aboard Census at nine pounds less, these two aired the field as they raced side-byside throughout the final mile. Romeo Lima had set a blistering early pace then tired. Double Reefed could not keep up and Sans Commission, just “off the boat," turned in a commendable performance that was not good enough. In all, horsemen took home a total of $190,250 from the Saratoga steeplechase schedule. On Arlington Million day, Aug. 26, the field of five timber horses took the starter’s flag to face the three-mile route over the half coops set oh the inner turf course. Mikey Smithwick had shipped Tom Ashbridge’s newly-purchased Spring Double gelding Double Sparkle out to the windy city for his first timber start with stable mate Crocodile Fears, who was scratched due to shipping fever. First-time starters over timber at Chicago are not new — Red gate won last year in that capacity. Double Sparkle with Jeff Teter aboard was head-and-head with Redgate at the last when the latter fell. Buzzy Hannum on Treasure Island was right there at the last and on even terms in weight, but Teter drove the novice timber horse homeward for the major portion of the $20,000 purse. The punters like the timber horses in Chicago and more than $180,000 was wagered on the short field of six starters. Fair Hill at 50. A half century of racing in the lovely northeast Maryland track opened the fall schedule on Labor Day, Sept. 3. Attendance was placed at 12,005, but only $128,719 was wagered throughout the afternoon. “We have lost our big bettors to Delaware Park,” Race Director Steve Groat confirmed at the end of the day.
