Although nearly 8,000 fewer visitors took advantage of the park over the same month in 1984, the year-to-date figures continue to show a healthy increase in park traffic by almost 25,000 visitors. In August, though, some 250,990 visitors were reported, as compared to 258,818 in August 1984. Still, some 1,196,805 visitors have passed through the park, a 2.3 percent increase over last year at this time. Likewise, the number of overnight visitors are also on the rise, both for the month and the year-todate reports. Some 93,279 overnight visitors were reported in August, almost 20,000 more than that same month in 1984, bringing the year-to-date totals to slightly more than 302,119, an increase of about 28,000. Eastham: Hero’s reward Biological technician Dabney Eastham, son of Dabney and Margaret Eastham of Flint Hill, was honored for having performed the Heimlich maneuver on a woman choking on a bite of her lunch. Eastham, who works for the Bureau of Land Management, Rock Springs (Wyo.) District, was presented the bureau’s Exemplary Act Award at a recent awards ceremony. Apparently, a fellow employee began choking on a piece of her lunch and had become incapacitated. Eastham performed the maneuver on the woman and and stopped her from choking. Eastham learned how to perform the Heimlich when he worked as a Student Conservation Association volunteer in Salem, Ore. Unnecessary payment Direct mail and advertising campaigns in the Culpeper area are charging people for Social Security services that are normally offered free of charge at the government office on Main Street. According to Social Security Branch Manager* Bruce Hundley, the most common ploy is for a company to get copies of recent marriage licenses then offers the bride the chance to change her name on social security records for a $10 fee. But, Hundley said, that service is provided free of charge from any social security office. In addition, said the branch manager, no less work is needed to change the name through the solicitor. The bride is required to show the original or a certified copy of the marriage certificate showing her maiden name and her new married name. The other device used by private solicitors is to get a copy of a person’s record of earning covered by social security or providing an estimate of future social security benefits. These, too, can be obtained free of charge from the branch office, Hundley said. “These firms are selling services which are provided at no charge by every social security office,” Hundley said.

Constitution week observed The area chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution are celebrating Constitution Week Sept. 17-23 to commemorate the 198th anniversary of the signing of one of this country’s most important documents. The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of D.A.R. is sponsoring this observance, urging citizens to fly their flags this week. Constitution week was established by Congress in 1956 and is proclaimed each year by the President of the United States. Washington Mayor Peter Kramer was one of the local mayors and other municipal dignitaries to sign a proclamation designating the week. Local school officials are expected to deliver announcements concerning the celebration over the public address system. Herb jubilee this weekend Demonstrations, tours, exhibits and door prizes are but a part of the September Herb Jubilee scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Faith Mountain at Sperryville. The event, which runs from noon until 5 p.m. both days, offers demonstrations in flower drying, herb vinegar making and a look twice daily at how the shop’s catalog is produced. That is scheduled for 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. both days. Also, a 19-inch cranberry herb wreath will be given away as a door prize. More information may be obtained by calling Faith Mountain at 987-8521. Administrators offer terse response This is the third and final installment of a series examining a Virginia Department of Education survey of the Rappahannock County Public Schools. This installment offered administrators of the Rappahannock County Public School system the opportunity to react to the results of the survey. By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The seven top public school administrators in Rappahannock County responded to results of a Virginia Department of Education survey of students, parents and teachers in a one-page, seven-line letter declaring their “responsibility as administrators to point the way toward continued growth.” The letter, dated Sept. 16, continues: “As in the past, we do not seek to shirk this Our schools Third of three parts Administrative reaction responsibility, we welcome it. “To those who wish to join us in our pursuit of excellence, we extend our hand... united there is little we cannot do.” The letter is the only public response the school system intends to release in response to a state Department of Education survey of parents, teachers and high school students, according to School Supt. Robert S. Estabrook. Continued on page 16 SUPT. ESTABROOK Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner SIGN, SIGN, EVERYWHERE this animal trainer turned he faced another sign.

Hearing halted by Critzer walk-out By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A public hearing Sept. 11 on a proposed ordinance banning helicopter landings within the town of Washington was abruptly halted when Councilman Wallace Critzer walked out of the meeting, leaving the council without a quorum. Critzer said he “just remembered something I have to do” and left the court room hearing shortly after Mayor Peter Kramer recited the ordinance and just before the mayor prepared to open the meeting to public dicussion. Without a quorum present — a majority of the council’s seven members — business cannot be conducted legally. Three of the seven council members — including the author of the ordinance and the councilwoman who introduced it — were absent when the meeting was called to order to discuss the proposed ordi *1 just remembered something I have to do’ —Critzer nance, one which would effectively stop helicopter flights carrying restaurant customers to and from the Inn at Little Washington. Kramer read the ordinance .to council and 11 residents who attended the hearing. The ordinance would ban helicopter landings in town and prohibit such flights within 300 feet above town. Violations, except in emergency situations, would be considered a misdemeanor and carry a $1,000 fine and a maximum 30-day jail term, according to the proposed ordinance. Also, property owners who allow their land to be used for helicopter landings could be fined up to $300 and jailed up to 30 days. After Kramer finished reading, Continued on page 16 White sentenced 2 years in coin theft James Allen White was sentenced to serve two years in the Rappahannock County Jail for stealing more than $7,700 in coins. White was first sentenced to serve five years in the state penitentiary, but that was reduced in Rappahannock Circuit Court Monday. White, who pleaded guilty to the grand larceny charge, has spent the past six months in Rappahannock County Jail. His attorney, Doug Baumgardner, summoned adult probation officer Dean Hahn, County Sheriff John Henry Woodward and Rappahannock Correctional Officer Curtis Crawford to discuss White’s conduct in jail. Hahn said that White was cooperative and that he was a model prisoner. Hahn had recommended incarceration, but he had no objection to White serving any jail sentence in Rappahannock. Sheriff Woodward testified that White, a trustee, has caused “no trouble.” “He does everything we ask him to do, and he even goes out and looks for things to do,” Sheriff Woodward said. “We don’t have to watch him at all.” He said that he would not object to having White serve his sentence at the jail since “He’s been a great help.” Crawford agreed with Sheriff Woodward’s testimony. White testified that he had returned to Rappahannock on his own in March after he received notification of the grand larceny charge. “I feel like I’ve been of service to the community since I’ve been in jail and been working around town,” White said. “I want to put this all behind me, finish school and become a productive member of society.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said White is “noticeably a hard worker. It’s unfortunate that he stole the money.” White had taken coins worth $7,703.23. Luke said White would face incarceration because of the amount of money he stole and his prior felony history'. But, Luke said: “I have no objection to him serving his sentence in Rappahannock. Judge William Shore Robertson sentenced White to five years in a state penitentiary but suspended three years and permitted White to serve the remaining two years in the Rappahannock’s County Jail. Upon his release, White will be responsible for paying restitution and court costs. He will also be under super vised probation for three years. Judge Robertson said White will receive credit for the six months he has served in Rappahannock and will probably be eligible for parole after a short time. “I wouldn't have given you any time if you hadn’t had a prior record,” Judge Robertson said. “I hope you will be a good and useful citizen after serving your remaining time.” In an unrelated case, James Robert Brady had been charged with two counts of driving after he was judged to be a habitual offender. He was also in court Monday to appeal a General District Court DWI conviction. Under the terms of a plea agreement, Brady pleaded guilty to one of the habitual offender charges and the Continued on page 16 BETH STOUT Stout brings extension ideas By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Beth Stout is a petite 26-year-old. with big ideas. As she talks about her new job as Rappahannock’s. home extension agent, her brown eyes light up with excitement. She is ready for the challenge. Miss Stout began her duties at the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service office on Sept. 3. She spent her first week in the county meeting people, working with science and English classes at the elementary school and thinking about possibilities. One of those possibilities is a “twinning” project for the sixth graders. She would have Rappahannock sixth graders create posters, record tapes or Use most any me dium to provide information on the county. “Other students in, say Alaska, would do the same, and we'd exchange projects,” she said. “The kids learn more about where they’re living and then learn about some other place from kids their own age.” Stout said she has been thinking of ways to help people learn more about themselves and others since she decided to switch majors in college. When she started at the University of Florida in Gainesville, she had decided to try physical therapy. She switched to home economics and began classes at Florida State University in Tallahassee. “Home economics had always been my second choice, and I knew I could do well in it,” said Stout. She spent the last two years at Virginia Tech working on her masters in human nutrition and foods with an emphasis in community and public health nutrition. Last summer, she worked in Haiti. This past summer, she worked with the Migrant Education Program through the Public Health Service in Colorado. “This summer prepared me to meet challenges and be organized in my work,” Stout said. She found out about the job opening in Rappahannock through place-' ment information at Tech. Judy Burtner, a former Rappahannock agent, interviewed Stout for the job. “She told me that Rappahannock was the most beautiful county in Virginia,” Stout said. “After I took a Continued on page 16

Robb team makes $ 17m mistake counting revenues From Staff and Wire Reports RICHMOND — Robb Administration budget officials committed a $17 million mistake when putting together state revenue estimates, an official said. “We just made a significant error in our projections,” Secretary of Education Donald J. Finley told Virginia legislators on Thursday. Finley, who was assistant secretary of finance when the error was made last year, said it was his fault. He said he miscalculated how much money the state would take in through its unclaimed property program. The result of the error is that the state has about $5 million less than expected to lend to localities for school construction, Finley said. Budget officials revising 1984-86 revenue estimates said the unclaimed property program would bring in an additional $24 million. But by the end of the current fiscal year, the state had taken in about $7 million, Finley said. Finley said the state may eventually collect all the additional money, but not in time to help the current budget. Group wants inquiry RICHMOND — A public interest lobby said Friday it has asked the House ethics committee to determine if Rep. ,W.C. “Dan” Daniel, D-5th, violated House rules by accepting free airplane rides from a defense contractor. “These allegations are serious,” said March Frosh, a lobbyist with Common Cause, a group that lobbies for open government. “The idea is we would like the committee to investigate whether the rules have been violated and to report those findings.” In a telephone interview at the group's Washington office’, Ms. Frosh said Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, made the request in a letter to Rep. Ju Virginia Roundup ^ lian Dixon, D-Calif., chairman of the committee. It is formally known as the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. Terry Hoye, a spokeswoman for Daniel, said the congressman was unavailable for comment Friday. He has said he was unaware of a section in the 1978 Ethics in Government Act that forbids members of Congress from receiving gifts worth more than $100 from parties involved in legislation before Congress. House members are also required to report the source and give a short description of gifts of transprr; ation, lodging, food or entertainment totaling more than $250 in a calendar year. Prisoners convicted LAWRENCEVILLE — An inmate has been convicted of abducting a guard and three other prisoners during an uprising at the Brunswick Correctional Center last September. Walter Lee Green, 34, was sentenced to 12 months in prison for each of the four abduction counts. The Brunswick County Circuit Court jury returned its verdict late Thursday night. Green was serving a 15-year sentence for convictions of attempted rape and sodomy in Richmond. Another inmate, Richard E. Simmons, 26, pleaded guilty in Circuit Court Wednesday to possession of a weapon and abducting two guards in the same incident. Researchers go overseas With studies showing that acid rain pollution from this country drifts over the Atlantic Ocean, a research team headed by a University of Virginia scientist plans to travel to Europe to see just how far the pollution goes. “We know substantial quantities of this material go into Canada. Now we’re looking at how much goes into Europe,” said James N. Galloway, an associate professor of environmental science at U. Va. Galloway headed an international team of scientists that found that significant amounts of acid rain pollution drift into the atmosphere over the Atlantic. The team collected data earlier this year from a specially-equipped plane that collected air samples along the East Coast from Charleston, S.C., to Atlantic City, N.J. Galloway said the scientists have started taking air samples over Ireland and plan to conduct a major experiment on the west coast of Ireland in fall 1986. “They definitely have problems with add rain,” he said of the European countries. “Most of it comes from emissions in Europe. There may be a North American contribution. My guess is that it’s small compared to the European contribution.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided money and equipment for Galloway’s team, which worked out of Patrick Henry Airport in Newport News. The data the scientists collected is expected to be used to help federal researchers advise the Reagan administration on acid rain. Doonesbury pulled LYNCHBURG — The publisher of the The News & ' Daily Advance of Lynchburg says he decided not to publish a Doonesbury comic strip satire of the Rev. Jerry Falwell because previous strips were in bad taste. Falwell said Friday the strips probably had been pulled because of what he called their “racist” content. The strips by cartoonist Gary Trudeau poke fun at Falwell’s support for the white minority government of South Africa and President Reagan’s policy of “constructive engagement” with the country. Publisher T. George Washington said Trudeau’s satiric play on the “We Are the World” benefit recording, an earlier series, was offensive, racist and in bad taste. The cartoonist’s criticism of Falwell and the president simply repeat positions covered at length on the editorial and news pages of the newspaper, Washington said. Falwell said a reporter showed him the strips. Referring to Trudeau, he said, “I personally don’t care what he says about me, as long as he spells my name right.” The pastor of the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg and founder of the Moral Majority drew criticism several weeks ago when he condemned the use of economic sanctions against the South African government. Like Reagan, he argued that sanctions would hurt South African blacks economically without doing much to change the nation’s policies. Doonesbury episodes this week depicted President Reagan making, at Falwell’s initiative, a benefit recording for South Africa, similar to the record and Live Aid concert used to raise money for famine relief for Ethiopia. 1 Rappahannock News Photo/Courtesy of RAAC ARGUING FOR THE DEFENSE is Clarence Darrow as portrayed by Ted Eiland, who will perform a one-man shov Saturday, 8 p.m. at the Gay Street Theatre in Wa nington.

Small cars dangerous Small cars are twice as likely to be involved in fatal crashes as bigger cars, and more than two times the number of highway fatalities occur to occupants who ride in smaller cars, according to the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. “When a subcompact collides with a large car, the small car occupants' chances of being killed are eight times greater than if they were in a large car," according to DMV Deputy Commander John T. Hanna. With only 16 percent of Virginia’s drivers wearing seat belts and the continued use of small, or compact, cars, drivers need to learn improved driving skills to offset the bigger crash risks, according to Hanna. Survival space is limited in smaller cars, the DMV says. In a crash, occupants are more likely to be thrown against the dashboard or crushed by buckling metal. “That’s all the more reason to wear lap and shoulder safety belts and buckle small children in child safety seats,” said Hanna. The U.S. Department of Transportation predicts that by 1990, about 65 percent of the cars on the road will be compacts, subcompacts or mini-compacts. By 1995, that group of vehicles is expected to jump to about 85 percent of the vehicle mix. The DM V offers tips to drivers of small cars: — Wind resistance is a big factor in controlling small cars, especially at high speeds. Drive within the posted limit. — To increase visibility to other motorists, use headlights during the day. — Smali cars are lower to the ground, making it more difficult for the driver to see clearly over a hill crest or around a curve. Compensate by driving more cautiously. ftappatjannocfe /letos Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE () New () Renewal () Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS______ CITY_1 STATE_ _: ZIP' Second class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

Mattie Ball Fletcher, a wellknown Washington resident, celebrated cook and wife of the late William Meade Fletcher, said that her husband knew Darrow in Chicago in the first part of this century. “I remember him saying how much he eryoyed Darrow’s company,” Mrs. Fletcher said. “I don’t know how they met, just that they were lawyers in Chicago at the same time.” William Fletcher went on to practice in Philadelphia and Montana before returning to the county of his birth and marrying Mattie Ball. “There’s a story I’ve heard for a long time,” said Mrs. Fletcher. “Darrow was a large man, with a big stomach. Once, in Chicago, he was trying a case and while his opponent was talking, he lit up a cigar. Well, the ash got longer and longer and the jury finally stopped concentrating on the other lawyer and just stared at his cigar, waiting for the ash to drop and bum his stomach. “They said that he had done this on purpose by sticking a wire in his cigar.” “Clarence Darrow” will be presented at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Gay St. Theatre, sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC). Bloodmobile visits Warrenton Sept. 26 The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton Fire House on Sept. 26 from noon until 6 p.m. The bloodmobile last stopped at the fire house in July, but George Borjes, blood services chairman of the Fauquier Chapter, said he hopes for a better turnout. Aiming at a 90-pint target for the fiscal year, the unit has collected some 52 units of blood. Tickets, $6 to the public and $5 for RAAC members, are on sale at the box office and at the RAAC office by reservation by calling 6753913. “Clarence Darrow” was written specifically for Henry Fonda, who commented at the show's closing that he considered it the apex of his career. It was chosen by Eiland after the faculty of Western Carolina University, where he was teaching theatre arts, asked him to do a oneman play. Acting is Eiland second career. For 35 years he was a radio and television executive and acted in community theatres as he found the time. He has appeared in lead and major roles in 40 plays.

Richard Thompson Lake in Fauquier County is closed through Oct. 1 to all public fishing in an attempt to restock. Virginia Game Commission officials closed the lake Tuesday. According to biologist Ed Steinkoenig, the lake had been stocked with bluegill and largemouth bass but it has never maintained a balanced population. The restocking project is expected to restore some balance and allow the sport fishery to maintain that balance through natural reproduction.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,1985 Circling the wagons We can now empathize Math more than one-third of Rappahannock County Public School teachers. It was roughly that percentage of teachers who told a review team from the Virginia Department of Education the lines of communication to the administration were closed. Apparently, such treatment from the administration is customary. That, we regret to say, is unfortunate. A survey of some 350 parents, students and teachers offered a wonderful tool to administrators to gauge public perception of our local school system. And those administrators offered the school board a glimpse of planned improvements based on those results. The public, however, was not so qualified, apparently. Just when those who control the quality of the public school system had a golden chance to answer the survey results, to boast their successes, to remedy their failures, they refuse to offer the public even the slightest taste of that information. School Supt. Estabrook submitted a one-page letter that, to better inform the public, is as worthless as chalk dust. The letter claims the administration is “justifiably proud of the numerous accomplishments” of our school system, as well they should be. For a small, rural school division with limited resources and only a slim chance of increasing them, the system has done much for which it can be proud. The administrative review, the most probing survey of its kind ever to be conducted on this school system, points out that our school system is generally well-received, particularly by the parents of elementary school students. But no system is perfect; no system is without scrutiny. The survey points out some areas the public — and even the administration through its “Topics for Action” — believe are in need of improvement. Are those improvements being made? How is that being done? We don’t know and the administration is not saying. The letter continues: “It is our responsibility, as administrators to point the way toward continued growth. As in the past, we do not seek to shirk this responsibility, we welcome it.” The administration may be pointing the way, as the superintendent suggests, but he is apparently pointing to but a small band of captains when the battle will be fought by the foot soldiers: students, parents, classroom teachers. Point the way to us, Mr. Estabrook. Show us what you and your staff are doing today and what you plan to do tomorrow to improve our school system. We can demand no more; we will accept no less. The classroom is no place to play politics. Tell the public what you plan to do to make this a better place to educate the children of this county. We need to know, we expect to know. Mr. Estabrook, the final sentence of your letter tells it all: “To those who would join us in our pursuit of excellence, we extend our hand...united, there is little we cannot do.” We agree with that completely. However, all you need to do, Mr. Estabrook, is look out beyond your circle of wagons to see the hands of hundreds of those hungering to do what they can to improve our schools. It is truly a shame that you choose to look no further than the seven signatures for the help that is yours for the asking. r-Rappahannock heritage— The view west from Massie’s Corner on a clear day It’s on to Buffalo, and ‘destiny’ By EUGENE MCCARTHY Rappahannock Newt Guett Columnist Tuesday, Sept. 3, was the day of the final cut back of the Washington Redskins’ team roster, in order to meet the 45-man limit imposed by the National Football League for the coming season. Five players were involved in the reduction of forces. Three were waived, a procedure I do not quite understand, but which seems to mean that the person involved has been let go and is up for other teams to pick up if they wish, without any compensation to the releasing team. Earlier, a number of players were placed on “injured reserve,” with some serious disabilities, others with pinched nerves, sore toes, possibly athlete’s foot. Others may be put on iryured reserve, which, according to the report, would make room for the players who had been waived, and passed waivers. Of the five players who were cut from the roster on that Tuesday, three went quietly. That is, rather, the players said nothing, but their leaving was accompanied by commentary from Redskin management and coach, Eugene J. McCarthy, author, poet and former U.S. Senator from Minnesota and former presidential candidate, now lives in the F.T. Valley near Slate Mills. some of it defensible, some of it what my grandmother would have labelled “uncalled for.” Quarterback Babe Laufenberg, a back-up to Joe Theismann, did not go quietly. He seemed to agree with the statement made by Redskin management that they were “angry to have to part with him.” Laufenberg did not go in the manner in which English Queens, by historical report, went to the scaffold to have their heads cut off. He showed signs of anger, and questioned both the wisdom and the justice of his having been cut. It was the taking of Larry Kubin — a linebacker drafted out of Penn State in 1981, a year before his scheduled graduation, a raid that so irritated coach Joe Patemo that Redskin scouts are now banned from that campus — that bears mentioning. In these years since 1981, while on the Redskins’ team, Kubin has seen limited service, some on special teams, some in filling in for other linebackers who were either injured or in need of rest. Larry was known to be a most loyal Redskin, uncomplaining and dedicated. His failing, if he had one, was a tendency to philosophize about the game and about himself. At critical moments, it was believed, he was inclined to reflect on the meaning of the game, or on life, when immediate action was called for. Larry has now been traded to Buffalo for a future draft choice, one in a later round than he was chosen in 1981. It is not “Back to Buffalo” for Kubin, the cry that used to be raised against Washington Senator rookies who performed badly after being brought up from the Buffalo farm team, in the days of Washington baseball. It is “on to Buffalo” for Larry Kubin. He is, he says, “ready to begin his destiny" in Buffalo, a more positive attitude than that expressed recently by the President of the United States, who was quoted as saying that we, as Americans, were going “to recapture our destiny,” (provided we re-elect him). Kubin added the technical information that he truly thinks he was made a little better for the 3-4 defense, used by Buffalo, rather than the 4-3 defense used by Washington, or is it the other way around? All of these incidental comments were concluded by Kubin’s closing remarks, moving and philosophical: “My heart,” he said, “is ready to move on.” It is a good heart and body that Buffalo has added to its team. Estate planning necessary for all By Q. EARL YANCEY Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer There’s a common misconception that estate planning is just for wealthy people and that it’s engaged in solely to cut taxes. The truth of the matter is that if you own any possessions you have an “estate” and it’s up to you to plan what to do with it upon your death. If you are responsible for the welfare of others, some planning is appropriate to provide for their needs in case something happens to you. No professional can decide what you want to do; they can only discuss options with you and do the necessary paperwork once you have made your decisions. The professionals who can assist you include: — Your accountant, (if you have one) to serve as coordinator of your estate planning team. Your accountant sees you more frequently than others on the estate planning team (at least once a year for income tax filing) and is more familiar with your assets, liabilities, income, dependents, investments and other factors affecting your financial situations. He or she knows income, estate and gift tax law, both federal and state, and can help you to accomplish your objectives at the least tax cost. — Your attorney, to review your decisions for compliance with applicable law, to draw up the necessary documents, and to serve at the time of estate probate. — Your insurance agent, to inform you of available insurance products which can provide your family with income upon your death or meet other cash needs of your estate. — A trust officer, to act as custodian and manager of the trust assets if you choose to set up any trusts. A good estate plan should be a good “living plan” that allows you to enjoy your assets and, upon your death, have whatever is left pass according to your wishes. Earl Yancey is a Warrenton certified public accountant who submits an occasional financial planning column. off , the 1 cuff i Paul McFarlane So, Madonna married, for the very first time, according to one of those grocery store tabloids, the kind of publication that investigates the 500pound ma -.ho i!V<ib in an underwater cave, or the woman who regularly talks to God about pro football results and learned of a new diet plan to lose seven pounds a day. I wonder if Madonna had any trouble finding a wedding dress with fishnet stockings and feathered earrings. Victoria Principal, who looks pretty good for an old dame, married some fancypants face-lift doctor to ensure that she will always look pretty good for an old dame, no matter how old she gets. Plus, looking good — submitting to face lifts, skin tucks and other lifting and separating Wish list excavations — won’t cost her an arm and a leg, although she could get those fixed, too, I suppose. Even Bruce Springsteen married the model who recently starred in a really bad movie, Summer Fantasies. And, of course, Billy Joel married Christie Brinkley. I wish him all the luck in the world. Those three years Christie and I dated were O.K., I guess, but she got cranky after appearing on all those Sports Illustrated swim suit editions and I had to give her the big kiss-off, the boot. It’s over, doll face. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Here was looking at you, kid. I think she fell for Billy on the rebound, a typical response to someone hurt so badly. When you figure all those rock ‘n’ roll celebrities can marry anybody they choose — or certainly have a pool of willing and eligible candidates from which to choose — they apparently fulfilled a wish. Or, as in the case of many of those snooty Hollywood types, they merely executed a whim. Now I don’t know about you, but my wish list is considerably shorter and far more secular than that. Basic survival and day-to-day mental well-being far outweigh those instincts like trying to appear on the cover of People Magazine. My list is more basic, addressing more immediate needs and desires. I wish: -The check I’m going to write tonight for beer and peanuts doesn’t get back to the bank before I can deposit my pay check sometime tomorrow. Otherwise, with return charges and all, a six-pack and a can of dry roasteds will cost me about $15. -I wish I get to the laundromat on Sunday without having a car wreck because, by that time, I will probably be wearing a pair of undershorts with holes in them and that will most certainly embarrass my mother to no end. “Mrs. McFarlane, your son is alive and recovering nicely in the intensive care ward,” the emergency room doctor will say. “But he had a nasty hole in his underwear and will be charged double for his room.” -I wish I never traded my blue 1969 Montego for $300.1 sometimes miss that car. -I wish I hadn’t set my kitchen on fire Super Bowl Sunday three years ago. -I wished I spiked the iced tea the day Cathy Kattau and I went to the beach. I wish I went into the water with her. I wish she didn’t get so sunburned that she was in severe pain for several days afterwards. I wish I had the nerve to ask her out after that. She was really cute. -I wish I drove a car in high school so I could have accomplished the above. -I wish I stuck with my adult education class in basic typing instead of continuing with my haphazard system, something I call a moddddified, er modified, hunt-and-peck method. -I wish I never listened to my junior high school guidance counselor who suffered from blisters on the brain and told me to enroll in seventh grade Spanish. “You need it for college,’' he told me. Chicken gravy. Nobody speaks Spanish this close to the Blue Ridge except the migrant workers and, after four years of barely getting by in classroom Spanish, they wouldn’t understand a word I had to say. And nobody in college spoke Spanish. If they did, I ignored them. They’re in America; let them struggle with the English ' language just like the rest of us. -I wish I had bought volumes 6, 14 and 16 of that supermarket encyclopedia set. They would have filled out all the space on my bookcase. -I wish I never bought the other twenty-something volumes and that I had the money in my pocket that I used to buy them in the first place. -I wish Exxon Company employees don’t check into that baloney and cheese story I told them about why my check is a little late this month. -I wish I could cook something other than hamburger, hot dogs, peanut butter and jelly, canned soup and lettuce salads. -I wish I had never broken off some romances; I wish I had never gotten involved in others. -I wish I had the guts to introduce myself to that gorgeous blonde I saw at a softball tournament the other day to see where she would have fallen in either of the above. -I wish I paid better attention when my Dad performed routine maintenance * on the family car, so that the brakes on my five-year-old Datsun wouldn’t sound like a cat being tortured in the dead of night. -I wish I took my trumpet lessons more seriously and baseball playing less seriously, having more fun and experiencing greater success at both ventures. -I wish I kept in touch with Dennis, one of my oldest and closest friends on the face of this Earth. -I wish I told Dennis what I just told you. -I wish I could go back to summer camp, where the greatest concern of the day was, “What time do we play softball?” and “How do we get out of arts and crafts?” -I wish I could write like J'Jeil Simon, possess the inner calm and selfassuredness of Roy Hobbs, throw a baseball like Dwight Gooden, run with the ease and grace of Edwin Moses, get the dames Humphrey Bogart got, play the piano like Billy Joel. -I wish, lastly, for a copy of Billy Joel’s little black book, knowing full well that he’s not using it anymore.

I\ George |i Bowles 2-term Governors It probably hasn’t dawned on 99 percent of the voters yet, but a brand new factor has been quietly introduced into the statewide political races this year. That factor is the near certainty that the chief executive elected in 1989 will be able to run for re-election in 1993. He or she would be the first governor in modern Virginia history to be able to do so. Obviously the candidates in this year’s elections for lieutenant governor and attorney general would be prime spots for such a historic first, as would other potential candidates considering the race. Indeed, until the Constitution of 1851, the governor was elected by the General Assembly. In the Constitution of that year, however, it was provided that he be elected by the people. His term was set at four years without immediate succession. He could, however, run a second time provided there was an intervening term by someone else. Only two governors since the 1851 Constitution have held office a second time. The first was Gov. William “Extra Billy” Smith, who was elected first by the legislature in 1845 for a three-year term. In 1861 he won a second term and it became iiis duty to preside over the state during the closing days of the Civil War. In 1965 Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr., then a Democrat, won his first term. Following the administration qf Gov. Linwood Holton, Godwin was elected to another term in 1973, this time as a Republican. There has been intermittent talk for decades about changing the ground rules for gubernatorial service in the state. Proposals were made, and rejected, by the commission studying the 1971 constitutional revision which would have allowed two consecutive terms. There has also been sentiment for a single six-year term. None of those proposals, until now have gotten any place. But the 1985 General Assembly took the initial historic step. It passed, for the first time, a constitutional revision resolution which would permit an incumbent governor to run for a second term. The resolution limits the governor to two terms and will become effective for the chief executive elected in 1989. The process of amending the Constitution is as follows. The amending resolution must be passed, as this one has been, by both houses of the legislature. Then it must be passed a second time in identical form by a second session with an election of the House of Delegates intervening. Thus, because 1985 is an election year for the House, the measure will come before the 1986 legislature. It should be noted that if so much as a word or punctuation mark is changed, the process must begin all over again. After the resolution is cleared a second time by the lawmakers, it is then placed on the general election ballet the next November for approval or disapproval by the voters. If it passes muster at the ballot box, it will become a part of the Constitution on Jan. 1,1987. The governor elected in November, 1989, would be the first to be able to take advantage of its reelection provision. And so we get back to the gubernatorial race of this year. Obviously neither Republican Wyatt B. Durrette nor Democrat Gerald L. Baliles will be in a position to seek re-election if he wins this year. But the loser might be strongly tempted to run again in 1989 and go for the double brass ring which will then be available. Former Delegate and State Democratic Party Vice Chairman Richard Bagley of Newport News has all but announced that he is a candidate. Similarly, the two lieutenant governor nominees, Democrat Doug Wilder and Republican John Chichester, would find their appetite for the top office whetted. The nominees for attorney general, Democrat Mary Sue Terry and Republican W.R. “Buster” O’Brien also would find a political future looking more attractive. The most interesting possibility, however, may be Gov. Charles S. Robb. With his future uncertain after he leaves office in January, is it possible that he might again be available in 1989? With the re-election option available he might become modem Virginia’s first threeterm governor. If he did so, he would outpace both the famed “Extra Billy” Smith, and — with far greater satisfaction — his old rival, Godwin. Also if Mary Sue Terry is successful in her bid for attorney general, she, too, would be in the cat-bird seat for the gubernatorial nomination four years from now. Thus she might not only be the state’s first woman governor, but the state’s first governor to be re-elected to a second term. All this, of course, depends on the mood of the lawmakers in January and the mood of the voters in November 1986. But at the moment the mood of the people of the commonwealth seems for it, and that usually — but not always — draws a sympathetic response from our representatives in the holy city.

The rollover is a means of deferring payment of any capital gains tax if you sell your principal residence and buy another (within two years) for more money. There is no limit on the number times you can use this deferment, There is no age limit involved. With'the other great tax break, you can elect to exclude up to $125,000 in taxable profit from the sale of your principal residence — whether or not you buy another home. This exclusion cain be used to wipe out the tax on your immediate profit plus the gains from other sales that have been rolled over each time you sold. However, it can be used only once in your lifetime. To qualify for the $125,000 exclusion, you (or your spouse if you own I your home jointly and file a joint return) must be at least 55 the day the sale becomes final. The home must have been your principal residence for at least three of the five years preceding the sale.

Wakefield semifinalists By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Three Wakefield School seniors have been named National Merit Semifinalists for 1985-86. The three students winning this important national distinction are Tara Y. Welty, of Washington, Bill Meuse, of Berryville, and Elise Maar, of Front Royal. Miss Welty has been a student at Wakefield since first grade. Meuse entered Wakefield in grade 7, and Miss Maar came to the school in grade 9. The three Wakefield seniors are among 15,000 students nation-wide who have been named semifinalists this fall and who now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for Merit Scholarships. These young people entered the 1986 Merit Program by taking the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMQT) in 1984 when they were juniors. The semifinalists are the highest scorers in each state and represent less than half of one percent of a state’s secondary school graduating seniors. In addition to the semifinalists, severt Wakefield seniors have been named National Merit Commended Students for 1985. These students scored in the top two percent of graduating seniors in the nation. Included in this category are Mary Beth Nayne, Duane Funk, Rae Marie Lutes, Meera Maheswaren, Nancy Massie, Lorraine Shea and Lawrence Tarr. All together, Wakefield’s Merit Semifinalists and Commended Students constitute one-third of the senior class. Elise Maar Bill Meuse Tara Y. Welty Need for farm bill cited By TOM TAYLOR ASCS “We need sound farm policy that helps Virginia farmers, but also has fiscal restraint,” said J. Richard Andrews, chairman of the State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. He reiterated the Reagan Administration’s farm bill goals at the close of a committee hearing. New legislation is needed to replace the four-year law that expires at the end of the month. Andrews’ comments on behalf of the State ASC Committee closely , follpwed the resumption of the farm j biljptbat^ by Congress in Washington, and the committee’s ‘conference’ with Secretary of Agriculture John Block. “We just ‘met’ with Secretary Block by telephone, and as his representatives on Federal farm policy here in the state, the committee wanted to pass on some of what was discussed,” he said. “Our major objectives are the same as when the legislative process began earlier this year,” Andrews said. “Three objectives are central to the Administration’s philosophy. “First, we must become more competitive in world markets. Reducing price and income support levels is essential, so that we send a clear signal to our competitors that we are serious about regaining lost export markets. We must no longer hold the price umbrella for the world,” Andrews said. “Second, we are committed to a policy of compassion for farmers. That means we want to spend enough money to carry our producers through a transition period as we work toward a reduction in farmer dependence on government. “And, third, we recognize the need to reduce the Federal deficit. So, we believe the new farm bill should adhere to the Congress’ spending limitation. That will mean less and less annual Federal outlays for farm programs.” He also itemized some proposals as part of the new farm bill that the State committee agreed were unacceptable. “Mandatory controls are unacceptable. Most farmers want less government control, not more,” Andrews said.

The team has been training for the difficult schedule of 17 games that lie ahead of them. Anything less than an all-out effort would not produce the perennial success characteristic of the Wakefield soccer program. In last year’s season, the team finished with a commanding 13-2-1 record. However, many of the integral positions in the line-up were held by last year’s seniors. The replacement of those graduates will be one of the more difficult tasks that the team will have to overcome before the season commences. Returning starters David Rowzie, of Amissville, and Larry Tarr, of Warrenton, will anchor the forward line along with several new players and junior varsity players from last year. And, perhaps at the team’s strongest positions, Jorge Gonzales, of Huntly, Ed McGushin, of Haymarket, and John Landis, of Front Royal, will collaborate for a well-experienced midfield. However, the soccer team’s defense will be trying to replace all four starting full backs of last year who allowed an average of less than two goals per game. Thus, much of the team’s success this year could be hinged on the performance of the defense. As Coach Uli Mayer has stated, “Those players who were second string last year are the players who will have to do well this year if we are to win.” Another aspect of the team’s struggle to attain victory involves the hard work and frequent practices ih late summer, although all members of the team were not able to attend. However, since the start of school, all team members have worked hard each after school practice. During the rest of the week, each player must again work hard to complete the team’s run of three to four miles. Wakefield can now look forward to the team’s first game against Tandem School this week and its home opener against an always tough RMA squad on Sept. 24. Other highlights of the season include games against Seton, St. Anne’s Bellfield and the homecoming game against Rappahannock High School. The varsity and junior varsity field hockey teams have also been practicing hard in anticipation of the upcoming season. This summer, 12 members of the team traveled to Collegeville, Pennsylvania, where they spent a week at the Merestead Hockey and Lacrosse Camp improving their skills through extensive drill and practice games. This past week, Coach Barbara Todd called the first after-school practice where there was a record turnout despite the oppressive heat. The team is looking forward to playing such old rivals as Tandem, Foxcroft and Notre Dame as well as several new teams including Fauquier High School. With hard work and support from the fans, both teams hope to be propelled forward to a successful season. Contributors to article: Larry Tarr and Molly Dunning. * HUNTCOUNTRY NURSING SERVICES, INC.

Rappahannock runners start against Page, Luray Sept. 11 Rappahannock runners open with a win The Rappahannock County High School crow country teams swept a tri-meet to open their seasons Sept. 11 by defeating teams from Luray and Page County. The Rappahannock girls* team flooded the top four spots, including placing runners in the top two. The Panthers won the girls’ division 27, to Luray*s 48 and Page County’s 58. Kathy Dodson won her division by covering the 2.7-mile course over rolling hills and wooded areas in 22:06, seven seconds ahead of teammate Karen Ludwick who finished in 22:12. This is the first year girls will compete for district, regional and state titles. Also for Rappahannock, Bonnie' Grimsley placed fourth in 22:41. Denise Eidson finished eighth in 24:26 and Heather Blevins 12th in 26:23. The top five finishers score for the competing school. Leslie Nichols placed 19th. “The girls were jubilant and I am proud of the girls’ effort,” reported coach Ann Spieker. The coach went on to report that Blevins and Brown “began picking off runners midway through the race to wrap up the victory” by adding the necessary support to the team leaders. On the boys’ side, Rappahannock runners filled four of the top five slots and five of the top seven to easily defeat the competition, 21 to Luray’s 36 to 73 for Page County. Even brighter than the win for Rappahannock coach Spieker was the added plus that the top seven finishers were underclassmen. Wayne Fox of Luray won the boys’ division in 16:23. But from there, it was virtually all Rappahannock. Juniors Jonathan Watson (16:52), John Dodson (17:03), Marley Hay (17:190 and Neil Burke (17:38) finished in the next four spots, and sophomore Mike Dunn placed seventh in 18:00. Coach Spieker said she was pleased that the top five Rappahannock runners were nearly within one minute of each other which “I like to see, especially this early in the season,” said Spieker. The next meet was set for yesterday at Stonewall Jackson High School with Manassas Park. The team opens its home season Wednesday against Clarke County,. beginning at 5 p.m. Panthers start fast, first two games win Talk about your fast starts. Joel Voorhees, first-year coach of the Rappahannock County High School girls’ basketball, saw his team win its first two games, both at home, both impressively. The wins at least tied Voorhees aa the highest winning percentage of any active coaches. “It was interesting to me," Voorhees said of the first two games, wins over Warren County and Manassas Park. “I’m very happy,” he added with the deadpan nature usually reserved for one with an untrained eye appraising some bizarre piece of pop art. The Golden Panthers opened their season with a 57-39 win over Group AA Warren County before a home crowd, then turned around to open tile Bull Run District season Club members catch ‘butterflies’ Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club heard a presentation entitled “Butterflies” at their Aug. 21 meeting held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Holschuh. Making the presentation was Mrs. William Wetsel of the Madison Garden Club and preservation chairman of the Butterfly Committee of Virginia. Club members also heard reports from Gina Man waring and Christie Pendleton who returned from their trip to summer nature camp at Vesuvius. The local students were sponsored by the Rappahannock County Garden Club. Ribbons, from the first-place blue ribbon to (in some divisions) fourth-place white, were presented to winners in the class for a herb arrangement in a glass container. Mrs. Joseph Nordone, Mrs. Charles Russell, Mrs. W. R. Williamson, Mrs. Maurice Herndon and Mrs. Sidney Mank(tie). Ribbons were also awarded to winners in the horticulture division: Tomatoes, Mrs. Dale Metzinger, Mrs. Dwight Cramer; green peppers, Mrs. Charles Platt, Mrs. Howard Holschuh, Mrs. William Fannon, Mrs. Sidney Mank; acorn squash, Mrs. Lloyd Sims, Mrs. Sidney Mank; zucchini squash, Mrs. Joseph Nordone, Mrs. Lloyd Sims; red peppers, Mrs. Lloyd Sims; potatoes, Mrs. Morgan Johnston, Mrs. Joseph Nordone; asparagus, Mrs. William laxmon; chard, Mrs. Maurice Herndon; cabbage, Mrs. Joseph Nordone; ttmai, Mrs. A.

K* G. ThoJand. with a 76-39 shellacking of Manassas Park, also played in Sperryville. Rappahannock entered Tuesday night’s game at Page County with a 2-0 overall record, 1-0 in the Bull Run District. “I saw Warren County play,” Voorhees said of a Wildcats’ early game with Clarke County, “And I thought we could beat them. But everybody around here was saying Manassas Park will be tough. But it came out that it was a blow-away. Karen Jordan led all scorers in both games, hitting for 24 in the opener and for 26 against the Cougars of Manassas Park. The senior is nearing the 1,000point mark for her four-year varsity career, a feat that could be accomplished Monday night at home against Luray, if her scoring pace of the first two games holds. Natalie Butler also scored in double figures for the two games, hitting for 10 points the first game then for 18 in the second. Tracy Sutphine added 10 in the win over Manassas Park. In the opener against Warren County, Rappahannock took a 30-26 lead at halftime, only to see that dwindle to a five-point advantage by the start of the fourth quarter. Rappahannock outscored the visitors in that final quarter, 20-7. “We got into a little bit of foul trouble,” Voorhees said of the slack. Against Manassas Park, Rappahannock again took an early lead, pulling out by 22 at the half, but this time never looked back to win by 37 points. The Panthers applied a little defensive pressure in that second quarter and “overwhelmed” the visitors, Voorhees said. The Cougars missed all four free throw attempts and hit just two field goal tries. “I don’t know how many they threw up there, but it wasn’t many,” the coach said. Following the Page game Tuesday, the Panthers travel to Clarke County and the district’s Co-MVP, Carla Holmes on Thursday night, then return to a busy schedule next week, hosting Luray Monday, traveling to Strasburg on Tuesday then hosting George Mason Sept. 26.

That assessment was given to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors by Wayne Cilimberg of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. While the collection line portion of the project is on schedule, progress on the sewer treatment plant is “well behind where we hoped it would be at this time,” Cilimberg told the supervisors during their regular monthly meeting Monday. It was believed that the sewer treatment plant would be completed by October, but delays have forced that back to a December completion date, Cilimberg told the supervi sore. Other work to be done on the project pushes the opening date into the spring. In related matters, supervisors waived a building inspection fee specifically for residential hookups to the system and on the necessary electrical upgrading to accept the hookup. The waiver does not include improvements to or additions of inside bathroom facilities, the supervisors agreed. * Supervisors also paid current bills op the project totalling $79,065. In other action taken at the regular monthly meeting Monday, the supervisors: — Formally were introduced to Beth Stout, Home Extension Agent who took her position Sept. 3. — Adopted an emergency services plan which merely formalizes an “understanding” concerning coverage of overlapping jurisdictions of emergency units. The county may pursue entering into a similar agreement with Warren and Page counties, supervisors said. — Were told that the proposed zoning ordinance is “almost ready” for its Oct. 7 public hearing to be held at the Rappahannock County Elementary School at 7:30 p.m. A copy of the proposed zoning ordinance will soon be available at cost from the treasurer's office. — Were introduced to Debbie Hawkins, health department nurse who will serve in this county. Supervisors were also greeted with a $6,829 check returned from the health department. The check included county funds that were not spent by the health department. — Approved spending funds in the school system including revenue from textbook rentals used to buy new books, and federal money to fund Chapter 1, a reading program. Rappahannock Newt Photo/Greg Turner BEATING THE SUMMER’S HEAT by taking it easy at Major’s Garage is Elmer Atkins (right) and “Majors” Cowgill. The money must be freed by supervisors before it can be spent by the local school system. — Tabled renewing its contract with Four Seasons, a pest exterminator. Supervisors will seek a second bid. — Delayed action on insuring county buildings and monuments until a cost quote from its insurance agent can be secured. — Authorized Clerk Diane Bruce to buy a copy machine that is expected to cost about $3,300. — Waived the utility tax on the lighting bill at the county library. — Held two closed sessions totaling 45 minutes to discuss personnel matters and possible litigation. No action was announced. — County Attorney Peter Luke was absent from the open session of the meeting. Summit Point closes season More than 150 riders from the Mid-Atlantic area are expected to compete on the two-mile, 10-tum course at Summit Point in the season’s finale sponsored by the Western Eastern Road racer’s Association. Regional championship point battles are expected to be determined by the results of the Sept. 27-28 events. In the deadly-quick Formula III class, Suzanne Brightbill will match her Honda 500 Interceptor against the Honda of challenger Alan Lainheart, the last chance for Lainheart to unseat the points leader. Only one point separates the leaders in the Formula II class. All races Saturday and Sunday begin at 10 a.m. and are held rain or shine. Summit Point Raceway is located eight miles west of Charles Town, W. Va. Admission is $10 for adults, which grants access to the pedestrian paddock and camping area. Children 12 and under are admitted free with paid adult admission. September tips for a better garden By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Ajent • An easy indoor plant watering system can be designed by inserting an asbestos-glass water wick into one of the drainage holes of a pot. Old nylon stockings can be braided and used instead. Set the pot on a water reservoir made from heavy plastic such as large-sized whipped margarine containers. Prepare the lid by making two holes; one for the wick to reach the water, and a larger one for supplying fresh water. This is a highly efficient system for carefree watering. However, the plants should be periodically watered from the top to flush accumulated minerals from the soil. • Cover crops can be planted as early as Aug. 1, but should not be planted any later than Nov. 1. They should make some growth before hard frost kills them. Where you have fall crops growing, you can sow cover crop seed between rows a month or less before expected harvest. This way, the cover crop gets a good start but will not interfere with vegetable plant growth. • If you plan to move some of your chives indoors this winter, this is the time to pot them up. When di viding your outdoor plants, select young, mature plants and pot eight to 10 per six inch pot. They will do best on a sunny windowsill. Sowing seeds of hardy annuals such as sweet alyssum, pinks and sweet peas will give the seedlings time to get established and develop good root systems before the coldest part of winter. This gives them a head start on growth and flowering next spring. • Take cuttings of such annual bedding plants as begonias, coleus, geraniums and impatiens. Rooted indoors, these overwinter in a bright window and give plants for next year’s garden. • If you enjoy growing wild flowers, now is the time to collect seed for your garden from many of the summer flowering types. • Wood ashes contain phosphorous, calcium and potassium and can be placed on gardens, flower beds or spread on lawns but don’t overdo it. Avoid acid-loving plants as it raises the pH. • A green manure or cover crop improves water infiltration, reduces soil erosion, reduces nutrient leaching and promotes the growth of microorganisms. Annual rye can be sown at the rate of 15.2 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. during September and October. A light fertilization with one to two lbs. of 5-10-10 will generally increase plant growth. • Don’t wait for frost warnings to move your plants indoors. Temperatures of 50 degrees or lower can damage many tropical houseplants. • Dried beans and peas are among the easiest crops to store. They will keep for many months in a cool, dry location. Control weevils before storage by placing in a freezer at 0 degrees,F or lower for four days, or heat to 180 degrees F for at least 15 minutes. Following this treatment, place the dry beans or peas in a tight container and place in a cool, dry place. • Winter type pumpkins and squash such as acorn, butternut and spaghetti may keep for several months in a cool, medium-dry basement, garage or tool shed. Allow the fruit to ripen fully on the vine, and cure in the sun to form a hard rind. Harvest before frost, and leave a piece of stem on each when they are cut from the vine. If the floor is damp, place pumpkins and squash on shelves to reduce the possibility of rot. The best storage temperature is about 60 degrees F. • Check grapevines for mummied berries — victims of black rot. Pick them and dispose of (do not compost) before they can spread the disease. • Harvesting guidelines: Pears should be picked at the hard, ripe stage and allowed to finish ripening off the tree. The base color of yellow pears should change from green to yellows as the fruit approaches maturity. Apples should separate readily from the trees when lifted gently upwards. • Fall is usually cool and moist and a good time to plant trees and shrubs. Research has shown that roots will continue to grow until the soil freezes, which is about Thanksgiving. This is true for both evergreens and deciduous plants. The best time for lawn construction is from mid-August to mid-September for cool-season grasses. Seeding at this time allows for a long fall growing period, when temperatures and moisture conditions are most favorable and weed competition is at a minimum. By the time cold weather arrives, the grass is fairly well established and ready to grow and thicken early the following spring. Teacher challenges grade Unsatisfied with the evaluation of his teaching methods, the past president of the Fauquier Education Association is taking his grievance to court. Sterling resident Charles E. Schonder III, a math and history teacher at Marshall Junior High School, got four low marks out of seven in a May evaluation by Principal Elaine Walker. The instructor contends the evaluation “fails to represent my performance fairly” and “provides little or no basis upon which to improve my performance,” according to court documents. He wants the low ratings changed from “area needing improvement” to “area of strength.” Mr. Schonder took his case to the principal, assistant school superintendent and later to the Fauquier School Board. In August, the board ruled unanimously that Mr. Schonder did not have a grievance because “it did not state a misapplication or tnisinterpretation of a procedure,” the court documents read. The teacher filed an appeal in Fauquier Circuit Court Aug. 30 to reverse the School Board decision. No date has been set for his hearing. Cancer Society gets award The Fauquier chapter of the American Cancer Society will receive the highest award given by the state division. In February, the unit will get the prestigious President’s Cup for its record-breaking cancer crusade last spring. During the annual cancer fund drive which starts in April, volunteers raised $30,054, the “most money ever collected,” according to Secretary Alma Robinson. The group surpassed its goal of $29,696. The president’s cup is given to chapters that raise more than $30,000 for cancer research. Former Flint Hill man a hero Biological technician Dabney Eastham, son of Dabney and Margaret Eastham of Flint Hill, was honored for having performed the Heimlich maneuver on a woman choking on a bite of her lunch. Eastham, who works for the Bureau of Land Management in Rock Springs, Wyo., was presented the bureau’s Exemplary Act Award at a recent awards ceremony. A fellow employee began choking on a piece of her lunch when Eastham performed the maneuver. Eastham learned the Heimlich technique when he worked as a Student Conservation Association volunteer in Salem, Ore. Boyce birthday Saturday The small town of Boyce in rural Clarke County will celebrate the beginning of its 75th year as an incorporated town with a large birthday party Saturday, Sept. 21. The day-long activities run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and feature an arts and crafts sale, entertainment, food, a large birthday cake, the annual Boyce Fire Department’s chicken barbecue and the firemen’s auction. There will be several field games, including a good natural tug-of-war pitting local residents against members of the fire company. The town, named for a retired colonel who lived nearby, was founded in the late 1800s when Shenandoah Valley Railroad Co. stretched its lines north. The town grew up at the intersection of the railroad and old Route 50, a main corridor for commerce between Washington, D.C. and Winchester. Today, the town is on Route 340 two miles north of its junction with Route 50. • Search begins for Miss Virginia So, you got all wrapped up in the Miss America pageant held this week, saw yourself walking down the flashbulb-studded platform hearing Bert Parks sing and you’re wondering how to get started in such a career.

Schools Continued from page 1 Hie survey was conducted by an Educational Administrative Review Team during a three-day period in October 1984. Supt. Estabrook presented the Rappahannock School Board a 12rtem outline entitled “Topics for Action, 1986-86” in August intended to address those shortcomings pointed out by the survey. However, few details concerning the survey results were offered during that August regular monthly meeting of the school board. The administration was asked by the Rappahannock News to offer their response to the survey results which appeared in the first two installments of a three-part series which were published Sept. 5 and Sept. 12. The letter, which is signed by Supt. Estabrook, Assistant Superintendent Thomas S. Campbell, Special Services Coordinator Pamela M. Rowe, High School Principal uobert T. Chappell, High School Assistant Principal John P. Toth, Elementary Principal Margarita S. Piper and Elementary Assistant Principal Michael V. Cotter, will be the only response to the survey from school administrators, the superintendent said. The ‘Topics for Action” were areas identified by low scores on the survey that Supt. Estabrook said would be worked on during the year. At the elementary school, the following areas were identified as needing improvement: appropriate individualized instruction, alternative education programs, community involvement for school im provement, inservice activities, effective administration/staff communication and increased supervisory support. High school “Topics for Action” were: appropriate individualized instruction, more extensive student achievement records, community involvement for school improvement, increased information about school to public, student behavior and clean facilities. For each area, staff at the schools will fill out an “Objectives Time Plan” with a stated goal, objectives, methods of attainment, person responsible, time line, evidence(s) of attainment and the date accomplished. The Administrative Review Team which conducted the survey on the local school system was headed by Dr. Margaret Roberts. Dr. Roberts said that students in grades 10 and 12 and all teachers were given computer scan sheets and asked to record their answers to the survey questions. Children in grades three, five, 10 and 12 were given the questionnaire to take home for their parents to complete. Students were then to return those forms to the school on the last day of the three-day period. “We usually give up to 260 parent forms per class, so all students in those grades in Rappahannock received the forms,” Dr. Roberts said. Nearly 150 responses from parents were returned for evaluation. The results were first presented to the school board in February. Critzer walk-out Continued from page 1 he prepared to open the public discussion on the ordinance. Critzer suddenly looked at his watch and said, “I’m sorry, but I just remembered something I have to do, and I won’t be back for this meeting.” He then left the court room. Kramer said that those in the audience wishing to speak on the ordinance would still be heard, but, he said, “No action will be possible tonight. . .since our quorum just walked out of the door. ” He said that the public hearing would be continued to the Oct. 9 meeting. “Those of you who want to be heard, and can’t be here next month, can speak now to the three members present,” Kramer said. “We couldn’t have taken a vote on the ordinance tonight, anyway, because our legal counsel (Doug Baumgardner) hasn’t had time to research its legality.” Kramer said Baumgardner questioned the legality of the proposed ordinance because a locality has only those powers specifically granted by the state. “As far as he knows right now, the necessary powers for a helicopter ordinance aren’t given by the state of Virginia,” the mayor Stout Continued from page 1 trip here, I agreed.” Her duties will include working with Extension Agent Birgitt Thornhill on 4-H activities, working with the extension homemakers and continuing to work with fourth and sixth graders through their science and English classes. “We work with the students in a lot of different areas,” said Stout. “We help them to learn about plants, health, nutrition, wildlife, consumer education, energy awareness and anything else that fits in with what they’re studying.” She said that her job is an educational position. “I get guest speakers, find any needed information and train volunteers,” Stout said. Her areas of primary interest are described by the Extension Service as nutrition and fitness, family well-being and family economic stability. “I am going to need willing volunteers if I’m going to be able to do all I want to,” Stout said. “There’s only so many classes I can do or people I can talk to by myself. I hope to get people in the community involved.” A challenging job brought her to the county, and she believes she will like living in Rappahannock. It s not too much of a change,” she said. “Blacksburg, to me, was quiet since I was studying all of the time." She said that she likes to hike, jog and camp, hobbies that can be accommodated in Rappahannock. “I’m eager to meet people and become involved here,” she said. “I’m excited about getting started.” said. Kramer said that a citizen who could not stay for the meeting had opposed the ordinance because it was “nit-picking and aimed at one particular business in town.” Patrons of the Inn occasionally fly in for dinner and land behind the Washington Post Office. The last landing was on Dec. 13. “I’ve had four calls from people wondering why we’re doing this ordinance when it could have been taken care of with a phone call,” said council member Evelyn Willis. The ordinance was introduced at the August meeting by council member Dorothy Clater. It was written by councilman Bill Wickens. Clater, Wickens and Newbill Miller were the three members absent from the meeting. “I had a problem come up that I thought of all at once, and I had to leave to take care of it,” Critzer said Thursday in a telephone interview. The public hearings on the helicopter ordinance and the proposed cross-control water ordinance were continued to the Oct. 9 meeting. In other business that required no vote, Kramer announced the members appointed to the town board of zoning appeals by Judge NUGGETS OF TRUTH GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS Part 3 Confessions For Health Praise the Lord.

They claim to be doing something “by faith” (and perhaps they are) but the object of their faith is not what they think it is and thus they come to ruin or failure. The question that naturally follows is, “How can a person know God’s will and avoid mistaking something else for it?” In one way the answer is simple, but the application of the answer requires study, sensitivity and the perseverance of a lifetime. The simple answer is, “Study the Bible.” God’s will is revealed in the Bible, so in order to know his will we must study the Bible. You must do it for youself. A pastor, writer, or friend may be of some help, but you must do most of it yourself. The Bible reveals God’s general will for all Christians. This includes such things as “Be ye holy, for I am holy,” “In everything give thanks”, “Love the brethren (other Christians),” and “Provide things honest in the sight of all men.” God brings various circumstances and situations to bear on our lives. It is the application of the principles of his general will to these circumstances and situations that results in each of us doing his specific will for us. The principles are all-encompassing. The situations and circumstances are different and therefore his will is different for dif ferent people. That’s right. Nothing about thunderbolts from heaven or any other traumatic experiences. The longer I live, and the more I observe God’s working in my own life and the lives of others, the more convinced I am that the traumatic experience, while possible, is the exception and not the rule. God’s normal way of working in our lives is to bring us into situations in which we are expected to apply the principles of his Word. This is exactly what we are told in Psalm 119:11, 105. His Word is indeed a light unto our paths, and shows us the way step by step through our circumstances. If you asked me what God’s will is for my life! could answer you only in terms of his general will. I don’t know what He wants me to do next year, next month, or even next week for certain.

Virginia preview — Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Clive Camie The Virginia fall chasing season will close with style at the classic Montpelier estate on November 2 with five races Virginia hosts seven days of racing By CLIVE CARNIE Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer There will be seven days of steeplechase racing in the Old Dominion this year — a veritable cornucopia of color and excitement for ’chasing fans. From the middle of September to the early weeks in November, Virginians can enjoy the pleasures of tailgating and the excitement of steeplechasing almost every weekend this fall. Purses are up significantly at several Virginia race meets this year. This is a very positive sign as it shows the sport’s popularity is growing and being recognized by sponsors who are willing to put money into the it. In turn, the increased purses should mean that the best horses contest these races, an exciting prospect for spectators who can look forward to excellent racing. Race committees can also be excited as the promise of action-packed racing should bring spectators packing to the fall meets. The battle for leading horse, owner and rider still goes on and may well be decided at one of Virginia’s six race meets. This also will be a strong draw for spectators, and for the owners, trainers and riders who have a chance at winning the title in their respective standings. Fairfax Hunt Races Virginia’s fall steeplechase season begins on Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Belmont Plantation off Rt. 7 near Leesburg, when the Fairfax Hunt will host its 28th race meet. Purses are up 25 percent at the Fairfax meet this year with sponsors such as Cellular One car telephones, Clyde’s restaurant, H.B.L Motors, Sovran Bank and Northern Telecom contributing to the purse structure. Fairfax also benefits from a recent rainstorm that bypassed the Warrenton area, but doused much of the northern part ofVirmnia. Tne first race at Fairfax goes off at 2 p.m. This will be a non-sanctioned ladies’ turf race at a mile and three furlongs. Sanctioned races at Fairfax are a $1,000 open turf race at a mile and a half, a $4,000 maiden steeplechase over 2% miles, a $4,000 claiming steeplechase, price $10,000, at 2‘/« miles, and a $5,000 open ’chase at 2Vi miles. The final race of the day is the featured $6,000 Bowman Bowl. Thfe is an open timber race at three miles and should attract a quality field of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania timber horses. General admission to the Fairfax races is $5 per person with children under 12 getting in free. For more information call (703) 777-3805. Foxfield Fall Races The Foxfield races in Charlottesville fall on Sunday, Sept. 29, this year to avoid a Saturday conflict with a University of Virginia game. Apart from the new day, there is little change in the rjices at this attractive course. First race of the day will be at 1 p.m. so spectators will not get home too late for their Sunday dinners. The opening race will be a $5,000 maiden steeplechase at two miles. Second race is a $6,000 non-winners of two, also at two miles. Timber horses contest the third race, over a threemile route for a $3,000 purse. The fourth race is the feature, the $20,000 Grand National at 214 miles. This race is the first leg of steeplechasing’s triple crown and should attract a quality field of hurdle horses. See Virginia, Page 4 On the cover Jockey D.M. “Speedy” Smithwick Jr. waves his baton at the judges to request permission to dismount after a race last fall. The photograph was taken by Warrenton resident Douglas Lees, an award-winning free-lance photojoumalist who specializes in equestrian'sports. This supplement This annual Fall Steeplechasing guide was produced as a supplement to the six Arundel Newspapers, serving Virginia’s northern Piedmont region.

Virginia Fall Races The month of October opens with two days of Middleburg on its first weekend, the fifth and sixth. This is Middleburg’s third year pulling a double-header and a varied card is once again offered horsemen. The first day of the meet at Glenwood Park starts at 2 p.m. with two $3,000 maiden ’chases, both at two miles. The first is for 3-year-olds, the second for 4-yearolds and up. Third race on the card will be a $5,000 ’chase for non-winners of two, again at two miles. A maiden timber race, at three miles for a $3,000 purse, will be next, followed by a maiden turf race at a mile and a quarter on the grass.The day’s final race is another flat race, this time for amateur riders, at two miles. Sunday’s races at Glenwood begin at 1:30 p.m. with a $3,000 maiden steeplechase. The second race is new to the card this year. This will be a $3,000 claiming ’chase for apprentice riders. “We have an awful lot of young riders around here and unless we have something See Virginia, Page 6 Where you’ll find the races O^VfiN P4 Tl 6th Annual Running of the Steeplechases October 12,1985 Post Time 2 p.m. General Admission $3.00 For reserved parking — 777-2414

►Virginia From Page 4 specially for them, they don’t have a chance to ride,” says Gary Baker, director of racing for the Middleburg meet. Following the apprentice race is a $3,000 maiden timber race at three miles. Two turf races end the meet, the first at a mile and a quarter for maidens, the second at two miles for amateur riders. For foxhunting enthusiasts the Middleburg race committee has a unique package this year. For $350 two people will be able to spend the weekend in the area and go hunting on Friday with the Piedmont Hounds, on Saturday with the Middleburg Hunt and on Sunday with the MiddleburgOrange County Beagles — as well as watch the races both days. As an added bonus, 15 people from the hunting package will be selected to ride a drag hunt around the race course following the races on Sunday. The rider showing the best form will be honored as the ‘Hunter Champion of America’ and will be awarded a special trophy donated by Duncan Reed. Those just wishing to watch the races at Glenwood can get in for $5 per person per day, or buy subscriber spaces. For more information call (703) 687-5662. Morven Park Races Virginia steeplechasing moves to Morven Park near Leesburg on Saturday, Oct. 12. Safe and attractive polyvinyl wings will adorn all the fences at Morven this year. There will be six races at the pleasant rolling course, starting with a maiden claimer at 2 p.m. Second race to go is a straight maiden 'chase over two miles for a $4,000 purse. A non-winners of two, again at two miles, is slated for the third race. The fourth race will be an open claiming race, with a $7,000 tag, for 4-year-olds and up. A $10,000 handicap race at 2V-> miles will be the day’s feature brush race, followed by a $5,000 open timber race at 3'/4 miles. Morven is unfortunate this year in that the meet conflicts with meets at Fair Hill, . Md., and Geneseo, N. Y. Hopefully Virginia horsemen will support the local race and fill the card. DR. JOSEPH M. ROGERS Chairman of Morven races General admission at Morven is a bargain at $3. Subscriber parking is also available from $25 including car occupants. For more information call (703) 777-2414. Great Meadow Races This will be the second fall race meet at Great Meadow, and after the extremely successful Virginia Gold Cup in May officials are ready for an exciting day of racing Oct. 19. The youngsters will start the procedures off at the course near The Plains with pony races at noon. The day’s first sanctioned race, a two-mile maiden ’chase, goes off at 1:30 p.m. Great Meadow’s second race, a maiden timber contest, is new to the meet. The race, to be called the Great Meadow Cup, used to be run at the Monmouth County Hunt Races at Red Bank, N. J. For the past few years, however, Monmouth has had great trouble filling its maiden timber race and decided to take it off the card so it could use the space taken up by the timber fences to improve its brush and flat race courses. Both the Monmouth and the Great Meadow meets should benefit from this move. r ollowmg the maiden timber at Great Meadow there will be a featured brush race, the $10,000 Laura A. Lawrence allowance chase at 2Vi miles. The day’s fourth race is the featured timber, the $15,000 International Gold Cup at 3'A miles. This race helped Thomas L. Ashbridge Ill’s Double Sparkle tie for Timber Horse of the Year honors last year, and should prove equally exciting this year. Final race of the day will be the Devil’s Bag flat race, named in honor of James P. Mills’ 1983 2-year-old champion. General admission to Great Meadow is $10 per car, which includes admission for six people. For more information call (703) 347-2612 or 253-5001. Montpelier Hunt Races Last year, as the steeplechase season began, the prospect of losing one of the older meets on the fall schedule loomed strongly on the horizon. Fortunately, the threat never materialized. Instead the Montpelier meet, which had been jeopardized by an inheritance squabble, went off without a hitch, much to the delight of the magnificent estate’s new owners, the National Trust for Historic Preservation. For 48 years the late Marion duPont Scott, “the Grand Dame of Steeplechasing”, ran the Montpelier meet. Mrs. Scott died shortly before the 1983 meet, but the races still ran. Last year, the late Mrs. Scott’s niece Jean Ellen duPont Shehan funded the Montpelier meet. This year the meet will be sponsored by the National Trust. Montpelier’s new owners are changing little at the meet, however. As in the past, admission and parking will be free. The first race, a maiden hurdle chase at VVi miles, is at 1:30 p.m. Second race, the Virginia Plate, is at a mile on Montpelier’s classic dirt course. This race is for horses that have not won a race in the last two years other than maiden or claiming. The day’s feature race is the $7,500 Noel Laing Steeplechase Handicap at $7,500. Last year’s winner of the Noel Laing, Marianne Smith-McDaniel’s Le Sauteur, is currently leading the horse standings in money won this year. The $5,000 Marion duPont Scott Montpelier Cup will be the fourth race. This is a two-mile brush race for 4-year-olds and up which have never won $3,000 twice. Montpelier’s final race is a $4,000 hurdle race for 3-year-olds at l3A miles. 1985 Virginia fall race meets • Sept. 21,2 p.m....Fairfax Hunt Races at Belmont • Sept. 29,1 p.m. .Foxfield Races at Charlottesville • Oct. 5,2 p.m......Virginia Fall Races at Middleburg • Oct. 6,1:30 p.m.Virginia Fall Races at Middleburg • Oct. 12,2 p.m.Morven Park Races at Leesburg • Oct. 19,1:30 p.m.Great Meadow Races at The Plains • Nov. 2,1:30 p.m. ..Montpelier Races at Montpelier Station Hunt Country Home Health • Skilled Nursing 1 Home Health Aide • Speech Therapy ► Physical Therapy • Occupational Therapy • Nutritional Services • Homemaker Services • Medical Social Worker 703-347-4774 • 24 Hr.

Focus 1985 championships on the line By WILLIAM GALLO JR. Arundel Newspapers Special Writer Even though more than half the 1985 National Steeplechase & Hunt Association season is complete, several year-end titles are still up for grabs. With the fall championship season ahead in the months of September through November, owners, riders and horses will be vying for top honors. The fourth category, the trainer’s title, has been virtually sewn up by perennial leader Jonathan Sheppard. First let's talk about Mr. Sheppard, the British trainer who now lives in Unionville, Pa. His 1985 season has been nothing less than remarkable. Right from the word go his powerful stable was building a steady lead. He won feature races at Aiken (Double Wrapped), Camden (Eremite) and Atlanta (Double Reefed) early in the spring. Double Reefed came back to win another stake (the Pillar) at High Hope but then the 44-year-old trainer's luck took a turn for the worse. Mr. Sheppard suffered one of the worst days of his career in Nashville. Tenn., May 11, when Double Reefed, the favorite in the $40,000 Iroquois, was fatally injured. Iro ;cally the veteran campaigner would ha.^ become the all-time steeplechase money earner (surpassing Zaecio’s $286,299) with a first or second in the race. Mr. Sheppard also had Southlake Stable's Double Wrapped, a stakes winning mare from Ireland, go through the wing at the third fence in the Iroquois, sustaining an injury that sidelined her until the fall. BERNIE HOUGHTON ... Leading jockey JONATHAN SHEPPARD .. . Leading trainer Mr. Sheppard regrouped following the Iroquois fiasco and began gearing his troops up for the summer schedule of major track races. Killing Frost won an allowance race at Monmouth in June, followed by Flatterer’s 19S5 debut in the Midsummer Handicap. Flatterer was second, under 170 pounds, but he lost in style, bowing in the final stides to Chammsky, who carried 149 pounds. Delaware Park enabled Mr. Sheppard to qualify two .'1-year-old maidens for Sara toga, one being Will Farish’s Over Indulged, who went on to win his next start at the Spa. Saratoga was like heaven for Mr. Sheppard. He won five of the nine ’chases and added five more wins on the flat to lead all trainers at the prestigious New York Racing Association meet. His jumpers —he started 11 different horses — earned $83,300, which pushed his 1985 earnings to $231,140. That puts him in position (with approximately 85 more races on the fall schedule) to challenge his own record-high figure of $417,040 set in 1983. Mr. Sheppard also reached a professional milestone at Saratoga. On Aug. 2, with Augustin Stables’ Gateshead’s victory in the $35,000 A. P. Smithwick Memorial, Mr. Sheppard jumped ahead of I). M. Smithwick’s, all-time NSHA money-won figure of $8,452,704. He added to that throughout the month and, now stands stop the list of steeplechase trainers with $3,503,008. Looking at the 1985 point standings, Mr. Sheppard is way out in front with 45 points (from 21 jump wins and three on the flat). Ronnie Houghton, Frank Ranquet and Charlie Fenwick are closely bunched in second, third and fourth, with 22, 21 and 20 points respectively, but have no realistic chance of catching the 12-time champion. In money won, the gap is even greater. Mr. Sheppard has w'on that title 13 years running and is sure to make it 14.

►Leaders *trom Page 9 for Jeff Teter last year, promises to be a battle right down to the wire in 1985. Bemie Houghton, riding predominately for his trainer-father Ronnie, has a dozen jump wins and one on the flat for 25 points. His childhood rival, Ricky Hendriks, and the veteran Jerry Fishback are knocking at the door, however, with nine jump wins each and 19 and 18 points respectively. Mr. Houghton, a 22-year-old who owns a farm at Oxford, Pa., has had his greatest success aboard Le Sauteur, a three-time winner through the spring and summer. His uncle Eddie Houghton’s Nor Bay won twice for him early in the spring as did Charles Heekin’s In Ferm. Mr. Hendriks, a 21-year-old University of Delaware student, rides first string for the Burly Cocks’ stable, which earned him victories aboard Mrs. Miles Valentine’s Ulises, Betty Moran’s Otelo and Retador, and Pillar Farms’ Chammsky, who won the National Steeplechase at Fair Hill and the Midsummer at Monmouth Park. Hendriks also picked up two outside stakes scores for Jonathan Sheppard, riding Double Reefed in the Delta Bear Stems Cup at Atlanta and the Pillar Stakes at High Hope. Those four stakes helped bring his mid-season money total to $121,225, or slightly ahead of Mr. Houghton’s $120,764. Mr. Fishback. a five-time NSHA champion (1971, ’73, 74, ’75 and ’76) is riding at an incredible 45 percent with nine wins from only 20 mounts. The 37-year-old from Camden, S.C., riding exclusively for Mr. Sheppard, won five races including the Im perial Cup (Double Wrapped) at Aiken and the Carolina Cup (Eremite) early in the year, but then was not seen regularly until Saratoga. At the Spa the cagey veteran was at his best, winning on four of five mounts with $60,000 in purses. That brought his season total to $107,170, which is well within reach of Mr. Hendriks and Mr. Houghton. Mr. Teter, the 1984 champion, has struggled all year long and stands in sixth position among the jockeys. Riding first string for the Janet Elliot stable, the 23year-old Unionville, Pa., native has won only four jump races, well off the pace of last year when he won 25. George Strawbridge Jr.’s Augustin Stables is atop the owners’ list thus far this year with $97,440 in earnings via 10 wins from 12 horses. However, with the loss of stable star Double Reefed it may be difficult to maintain a lead throughout the fall. Gateshead, a winner at Saratoga in his first jump start in a year, will have to carry the ball for a depleted Augustin bam, which started only two horses at the Spa. Certainly within striking distance would be William Pape, in whose name the mighty Flatterer runs. The defending twotime Eclipse award-winning champion has been on the track only once this year (a second in the Midsummer) but with several; major stakes slated for the fall he is bound to boost Pape’s figures beyond its $64,770 level. Polar Parallel, a homebred halfbrother to Flatterer, has earned $35,900 for Pape this year with three wins (two in Saratog) from four starts. Mrs. Michael Sanger also has a chance of increasing her bankroll later in the year with Uncle Edwin and Danmore who have earned a combined $60,500. Uncle Edwin won three races in the spring, including the THG CHOICG OF A NG W GGN^RATION. Pop*. Psost-Coia and The Choice of a New Generation are trademarks of PepsiCo arc. GEORGE STRAWBRIDGE ... Leading owner Iroquois and the Bolla Stakes, while Danmore took an allowance race at Delaware and should be ready to take on stakes horses this fall. Finally, Foxcreek Stable’s one horse stable of Le Sauteur could give Mr. Strawbridge a run for his money if he continues his winning ways. More about him in a min ute. Incidentally, Mr. Strawbridge has been the leading NSHA owner for 10 of ihe past 11 years, that string being broken ii 1980 by the singular efforts of Zaccio for Mrs. Lewis Murdock. Of all the championship categories, this year the horse title should be the most exciting. Le Sauteur holds a slight lead in money won with $53,874, but there are several active horses still in the hunt for Eclipse honors. Uncle Edwin is right behind with $50,800 in earnings and could be fresh for fall action with only four starts thus far, compared to Le Sauteur’s seven. Pillar Farm’s Chammsky, with two consecutive stakes scores (National and Midsummer), could be in the running if he can return to that form. He came down with a fever in Saratoga, which might have affected his performance up there, and should like the extra distance of some of the fall’s major races. From Mr. Sheppard’s barn a number of possibilities could develop. Of course, Flatterer is pounds the best horse in the country, and if he can handle the 170-pound weights he will be a force to be reckoned with all fall. Gateshead, a versatile jumper and turf performer, was very impressive beating Le Sauteur at the Spa and could be a top horse if he stays over fences. Timber Bay Stable’s Eremite won the Carolina Cup in the spring before tailing off, but if he returns to that early season form after a good rest he could carry the stable. And then when you consider that Mr. Sheppard also has Will Farish’s Twas Ever Thus (a fast closing second in the Cafe Prince), Double Wrapped (a top female ’chaser) and the youngster Polar Parallel, it would be no surprise if he comes up with his seventh Eclipse champion.

Profile Smithwick ‘flirting with danger’ By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer Few athletes in any sport — whether it be football, basketball or horse racing — are identifiable solely by their first name. But mention “Speedy" to anyone familiar with American steeplechasing and they’ll know at once that you’re talking about jockey I).M. SmithwickJr. Obviously, “Speedy” is only a nickname. Speedy’s real first and middle names — Daniel Michael — are not nearly as well known. “I was born three weeks early.” says Speedy. “That's how I got my name.” Last year the nickname that has stuck since birth became particularly significant as Speedy finished the 1984 season in fifth place on the National Steeplechase and "It's very ... exciting. That's the only reason I do it really. ’ * Hunt Association’s jockey standings list. It was one of the best years ever for the 25year-old Middleburg jockey who began riding over fences when he was 16. Among Speedy’s 11 wins from 37 races in 1984 were exciting victories in the Virginia Gold Cup (Warrenton), the inaugural International Gold Cup timber race (Great Meadow), the Bowman Bowl (Fairfax) and the Foxcatcher Hounds ’Chase (Fair Hill, Md.). In 1985 he has so far won five sanctioned races, three over brush fences, one over timber and one on the flat, and currently is sixth in money won and ninth in races won on the rider standings for the year. Among Speedy’s '85 wins are the Bolla Hard Scuffle Steeplechase and the Iroquois steeplechase, both on Mrs. Michael Sanger’s Uncle Edwin. During the Virginia spring point-to-point circuit this year Speedy won the Rider of the Year award by winning six races over fences, including the prestigious Rokeby Bowl and Eustis Cup. “That was kind of nice,” Speedy admits. “I’d never won anything like that before. I told everyone the only reason I did it was because Randy Waterman was retired and Don Yovanovich was injured! (Those two riders dominated the local point-topoint seaspns in years past.) I didn t ride that many races; I was away quite a lot. But, I had some very nice horses and I got lucky.” Some of Speedy’s most memorable wins have been in timber races. But, he also has proven he is a versatile jockey who is equally at home on a speeding hurdle horse as on a slow-paced, high-jumping timber horse. Five of Speedy’s wins in 1984 came in hurdles races and three of his ’85 wins to date have been over hurdle fences. But, for race fans Speedy is perhaps better known for his timber racing prowess. In his own mind, two races from 1984 particularly stick out. “The Gold Cup and the timber race at Fair Hill (the Foxcatcher Hounds Steeplechase) were my two biggest thrills of 1984,” Speedy admits. “Both were very close, well-fought races.” For spectators the 1984 Gold Cup was one of the most exciting races of the spring season as Speedy, riding Dr. Joseph M. Rogers' Constantine, came flying up the Broadview stretch from 12 lengths behind 1982 Gold Cup winner Prince Saran to get ahead at the wire by a nose. The Foxcatcher also was very exciting as Speedy gave an excellent ride on William T. Reed's Crocodile Fears to edge out Paul E. Cramer's Cookin' N' Lookin’ at the wire. The 1983 Gold Cup winner Private Gary and Timber Horse of the Year Redgate were also in that race. apeeoy s exceptional ism season was not entirely due to his excellent riding form, however. “The main thing to make you successful as a jockey is to have good horses,” Speedy admits. “I’ve been very lucky this season, I’ve gotten good horses. “I don’t care if you ride better than John Francome (champion English jump jockey and one of the world’s best), you can’t win on a bad horse. A bad horse really makes you look bad.” But whatever type of horse he rides, Speedy thoroughly enjoys being a jockey because of its unique attractions. “It’s very rewarding to ride a horse that’s jumping weli,” he says. “And, at the same time, it’s rewarding to ride a bad jumper and stay on!” The rewards, however, are not the only attractions racing holds for Speedy. “It’s flirting with danger really,” the young jockey admits. “I don’t think there’s anything else like it. You’ve got to get in sync with your horse. It’s very exciting. That’s the only reason I do it really. I sure can’t do it when I’m 40, so I might as well do it now while I can still bounce and my bones have a chance to heal.” Spectators at this year’s Gold Cup meet at Great Meadow in May saw the dangers of steeplechasing, and Speedy experienced them first-hand. In the day’s second race, an amateur jump race, Speedy fell when Dorothy Poe’s Bar Jacket crashed at the water jump and broke his leg. Landing hard on his hand, Speedy broke the navicular bone in his wrist and a few fingers. He was also somewhat concussed. However, the young rider did not let the fall halt his career. The next weekend, with his hand bandaged, Speedy rode in, and won, the Iroquois Steeplechase at Nashville, Tenn., on Uncle Edwin. Making the weights for jump races is becoming increasingly tiresome for Speedy, however, and 1985 may be his last regular season as a jockey. At 6-foot-3 it can be very hard weighing in at 150 pounds, as he is often required to do in his races. At the end of the ’85 season Speedy says he will think seriously about following in his parents’ footsteps as a trainer. “I’ll have to see at the end of the fall season how it goes,” he says. “It would probably be smarter to stop, but I don’t want to. It’s fun flying around to all these races and riding people’s horses.” Should Speedy decide to leave the riding ranks for a career as a trainer, he will be following a well-trodden path. Speedy’s — Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Mike Hickey Speedy Smithwick was the top rider in Virginia this spring father, “Mikey” Smithwick, is in the Steeplechasing Hall Of Fame at Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Mikey Smithwick consistently has been among the top trainers in the country since he began training some 30 years ago after a successful career as a jump jockey. In 1984 he finished fifth in the NSHA standings, saddling 12 winners over fences and one winner on the flat. This year he is currently seventh in the trainer standings. Dorothy Smithwick, Speedy’s mother, also is an accomplished trainer, who conditioned several sanctioned race winners this past season. Speedy works with his mother at Sunnybank Farm, Middleburg, an 1,800-acre operation which was owned by Mrs. Smithwick’s father, the late S. H. R. Fred. Horses stabled at the farm are there either to be broken, trained or recuperate from injury or illness, the latter type having been sent there from the track by Mikey Smithwick who has a farm in Hydes, Md.. An average of 30 horses are usually in residence at the Middleburg farm. A herd of beef cattle also is kept at Sunnybank and all the hay and straw needed for the animals comes from the land. Speedy and his mother and younger brother Roger all work on the farm throughout the year. In the future Speedy hopes to enlarge and modernize the existing bam and possibly build a training track on the farm. But, for now he and his mother make do with the well-drained rolling paddocks, jump courses and miles of trails on the farm to train their horses. Several young riders also work with Speedy and his mother at Sunnybank. Those helpers are not just riders but are also expected to groom, feed and tack the horses and to help keep the bam and its inhabitants clean.

In the hunt field youngsters learn to run in the company of other horses. They also learn to jump with confidence and to listen to their rider’s commands. Vanning to and from the hunt teaches a young horse about shipping and will prove very valuable for travelling to race meets in the spring. The hilly hunt territory also serves as an excellent means to exercise and build up young and old horses. When the hunt season comes to a close in March or April the hunt races, or pointto-points, frequently become the next step in conditioning youngsters for steeplechase races. “I love it here in the spring,” Speedy says with a smile. “You can ride so much. On Saturday you can race at Warrenton and then on Sunday at Potomac.” The point-to-points test the young hopefuls or recovering veterans to see if they are ready for the sanctioned meets. Flat races at the hunt meets may also test horses that are aimed for the race track. “Point-to-points are a lot more low-key than the sanctioned races,” says Speedy. “You don’t have to ask so much of the horses. It is a good way of getting them fit and teaching them to enjoy racing.” During race season life becomes hectic for horse and rider. Both must stick to strict diet and exercise programs and the riders must lead a fairly regimented life. ■ However, when the racing is over or when there is a long break between races, the regimentation frequently breaks down as riders get together for small celebrations. “I guess parties are a way of relieving the tension,” Speedy says with a smile as he remembers many long nights, and the painful mornings after when he did not show up at the bam. “They (parties) are a chance for you to see your friends whom you don't get to see that often and a chance to relax. Most riders have been very good all week getting ready for a race and parties are a way of ending that tension. “During the week you’re afraid to go out and drink because drink puts weight on you and when you go out to drink you usually eat, too. At the end of the season it’s nice not to have to worry about it and be able to eat and drink like a normal person. ” But, at Sunnybank, as is the case at horse farms all over the country, training for the horses never really lets up, so Speedy must stay in good shape to be able to ride year round. Training a horse for steeplechasing involves a lot of work, probably more than a horse requires for racing on the flat, Speedy admits. Owners are charged about $d() a day to keep a horse in training, less than it costs to keep a racehorse at the track. For his money a steeplechase owner has his horse regularly exercised, schooled over fences, hunted in company of other horses and raced. With almost fanatical care the Smithwick mother and son team work to give each horse in their care the best chance it has to do well at the races. It is what steeplechase owners and spectators have come, to expect from a family of champions.

Behind the scenes Officials: Tough volunteer work By CLIVE CARME . Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer To most steeplechase spectators, jockeys and horses appear to be the prime players at a race meet — everyone else is just there to watch and have fun. But, some people aren’t at a meet simply to have fun. They make sure everything goes according to plan. They are the officials — an integral part of a race meet, which the public barely no-1 tices. Actually, that’s the way it should be. If a race is run fairly, the officials should remain on the sidelines. It's only if something happens during a race to prevent a fair outcome that the officials have to show themselves. “The officials’ job is to enforce the rules of racing and to arbitrate any claims of foul or improper practice,” says Charles T. Colgan, stewards’ secretary and vice-president of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, the official sanctioning body for steeplechasing in America. “They make all the decisions on a particular day at a racecourse.” Spectators at flat race tracks notice the officials when a little red “Inquiry” sign lights up on the tote board. At steeplechase races there are no tote boards — at least at none of the steeplechase courses in Virginia — so the spectators are not as aware of the officials. Instead the spectators notice officials when a race's results are not announced soon after the finish. As “policemen" of the course, the officials’jobs frequently begin well before the race is run. There are several types of official at a steeplechase meet as set down in the rule books oftheNSHA. When a jockey is ready to ride in a race, he must report to the clerk of the scales. The clerk of the scales weighs the jockey and his equipment — the saddle, whip, helmet and weight cloth — to see if he meets the required weights for that jockey’s horse in the race. When the race is over, before it can be made official, the jockey must report back to the clerk of the scales to make sure his weight hasn’t changed — to be sure he didn’t ditch any added weights so his horse could run faster. After reporting to the clerk of the scales before the race the jockey then goes to the paddock where the horse is saddled. The paddock judge records all the different horses and their jockeys in the paddock and tells the jockeys when to mount up and take their horses onto the course. On the course a crew of patrol judges is spread out at integral parts of the race route to make sure no foul play occurs out of view of the stewards stand, located on the finish line. “The patrol judges are the eyes of the stewards,” explains Mr. Colgan. If the patrol judges see anything suspicious or illegal during the race, the head patrol judge reports the incident to the stewards. It is then up to the stewards to decide whether the incident significantly affected the outcome of the race and if any disqualifications or changes in the results of the race should be made. “The stewards must have a thorough knowledge of the rules of racing,” says Mr. Colgan. “They are most commonly called upon in cases where the rules have been infringed. They use their own eyes, plus the eyes of the patrol judges and the race camera, if there is one present, to decide what happened and what to do about it. They have a lot of responsibility.” If a jockey believes he was prevented from winning by another jockey he reports his objection to the clerk of scales who then informs the stewards. They may then consult the jockey lodging the objection and may consult the jockey against whom the objection is being filed before they make any decision. Usually also present with the stewards in the tower, unless it is not located right on the finish line, are three placing judges and a timer. Placing judges at some meets have the help of video and placing cameras to make their jobs easier, but sometimes only their eyes and senses can help them. “The placing judges’ jobs are not that easy,” says Mr. Golgan. “Especially in a flat race when four or five horses come across the finish line at the same time. But, they get better with experience. We try to encourage them not to go by the numbers on the horses, as these might get covered up or fall off. Instead we ask them to go by the jockey’s silks. ” Officials at a steeplechase meet are picked by the racing committee of the meet and submitted to the NSHA for approval. “We look at each submission individually,” explains Mr. Colgan. “For the most part we are reluctant to disapprove anyone. We can’t expect everyone to be a 20year veteran. But, we probably would disSee Officials, Page 19 Officials are the “policemen” of steeplechase races, playing an important role that often goes unnoticed — Douglas Lees for Arundel Newspapers

►Officials From Page 16 approve someone who just came in out of the cold.” “There is no formal testing or strict qualifications officials have to meet in order to be approved,” Mr. Colgan continues. “Wherever possible though, we try to get people interested in officiating to apprentice in order to learn what goes on.” In some areas officials are easier to find than in others. Fortunately, in Virginia, there are a lot of people closely involved or interested in steeplechasing and finding officials is not difficult. In areas such as New Jersey, the quest for officials is not always so easy. The NSHA’s officiating procedure at race meets is an old system that has evolved over a long period and is time proven. All officials are volunteers and enjoy their jobs, for most it is an honor to be chosen. “You have the best seat in the house,” says Dr. Joseph M. Rogers of Hamilton, chairman of the Morven Park races near Leesburg and an official at several Virginia hunt meets. “It involves work, but I like any aspect of racing.” The work isn’t always easy or pleasant, however. “You have to work hard to avoid being prejudiced,” says Dr. Rogers. “Sometimes you have to judge your friends, and sometimes you have to be hard on your friends. You have to stay on your toes.” Like the officials in any sport, those in steeplechasing are sometimes criticized. Most of the criticisms are that the officials are not strict enough, according to Mr. Col NSHA officials, Bill Gallo (racing secretary) and Charlie Colgan (vice-president) Douglas Lees for Arundel Newspapers gan. “Every so often we hear people say you’ve got to get better stewards,” says Mr. Colgan. “But, people always like to criticize the officials. At baseball or football games you always hear people say: ‘The zebras cost us the game.’ But, for the most part we feel the officials we have are a lot better than people may like to think.” Being an official, then, isn’t an easy job and it is one that doesn’t get much credit and is easily overlooked. But, officials are an important part of steeplechasing, and without them the public could not be guaranteed fair and honest racing.

Out-of-state racing 15 days of excitement, big purses By ANN BARKER Arundel Newspaper* Special Writer In only 15 days of hunt racing spread over a period of nine weeks the 1985 steeplechase season will be history. Never has the fall season promised so much in excellent racing and purse money, however short those nine weeks might seem. Horsemen can expect $616,000 in prize money to be distributed over the period. The inaugural Meadow Brook Races at Old Westbury, N. Y., is one of two new race meetings that brighten the picture this fall. Conceived by Rick Pack of the Polo Group, Ltd., the Old Westbury meeting on Sunday, Sept. 22, will return sporting’s golden age of racing to Long Island and the former estate of the late F. Ambrose Clark. Set on the grounds of the College at Old Westbury', the new race course encompasses a portion of the polo fields and Mr. Clark’s old gallops. Highly successful in promotion on a national level of various polo tournaments in the northeast. Mr. Pack and his colleagues have neatly packaged the race card and enticed a sleek new sponsor into the sport. The Mazda Steeplechase Stakes at about two miles over the national fences is expected to draw a slim but highly competitive field to the post for the start of the $30,000 feature.

►15 days Or y From Page 22 blue and white colors, is expected to be the hometown favorite in the Mazda Stakes. The Entenmanns’ lovely property adjoins the new race course and there is no doubt that trainer Jonathan Sheppard will have the Spring Double gelding honed to a sharp edge. The Meadow Brook race card will include an international jockeys’ competition which will be contested in a race for nonwinners of three that carries a $15,000 purse. A $12,500 claiming ’chase, a $10,000 maiden ’chase and a $7,500 maiden claimer for $15,000 complete the card. From the opening weekend, the steeplechase scene shifts southward to Virginia for a quartet of race days, then northward to Maryland for the 44th annual Fair Hill fall meeting Oct. 12. Beset with the fact that nearby Delaware Park (six miles away) would be running on Labor Day, Director of Racing Stephen P. Groat and his committee moved the Fair Hill fall meeting to October and directly opposite the Morven Park meeting near Leesburg. As fate would have it, Delaware Park requested additional racing days through Oct. 14, and Fair Hill again will feel the crunch. As the only hunt meeting in the country to offer pari-mutuel wagering, Fair Hill’s expense of renting the mutuel machines and clerks adds up to a hefty fee. Without the wagering dollars from the public ($16.50 per capita last June), it’s difficult to make ends meet. Mr. Groat is optimistic the eight races offered will fill with enough betting interests to satisfy the Maryland State Racing Commission. The grand old lady of steeplechase tracks remains the acme of all the country meetings, where every minute of action is in view. There is not one meeting that can claim to have the attentive audience that Fair Hill does, for from the Aintree and Fair Hill stands, each horse is in view at all times while on the track. The race card includes a pair of flat contests, a timber race, a $10,000 allowance feature over brush for horses who have never won three races (over fences), a straight maiden for 3-yearolds and another for 4-year-olds and upward. There will also be a claiming ’chase for horses in the $15,000 down to $10,000 price range. The busy weekend of Oct. 12 also includes the renewal of the Genesee Valley Hunt Cup races. Held annually for more than half a century in upstate New York, the Genesee Valley Hunt Cup, run over 3% See 15 days, Page 25 JpThe Reston Tunes /IWyfrHaydlBf Nv» Undtodiuiwf Bn^u/AS gfgggHgji^ Kgh jmlK*xiB8 I took] BaaetaH Championship f ^ The Reston/Hemdon Times is about to double the impact of your advertising!

From Page 23 ►15 days miles of a fair hunting country, will carry a purse of $2,500. Last year’s winner Rico Slave will not be in competition although he is fit and hunting with the Brandywine Hounds, according to his owner, Carl J. Meister Jr. of West Chester, Pa. Rico Slave, at age 15, left the maiden ranks at the Genesee meeting ridden by the owner’s son Jay, and the pair went on to finish third in the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup last season. In a remarkable effort to improve the quality of racing at the Monmouth meeting near Red Bank, N. J., the race committee headed by Schuyler Van Vechten decided to tear out the timber course and cancel the prestigious Monmouth County Hunt Cup after more than half a century. The narrow valley race course will now be able to be widened for the brush course, and the twisting, turning barrel race that was once the flat course will also benefit. The seven-eighths mile track set between two steep hillsides that draws nearly 35,000 people to its banks each October will offer a six-race card, including the $25,000 Metcalf Memorial Cup for brush horses. These conditions have not been announced at this writing, but are expected to attract horses who have not won $12,000 once in 1984 or’85. Mason Houghland Lampton, whose grandfather was among the great foxhunters of his era and author of Gone Away, was hot content to rest on his laurels as instigator of the Hard Scuffle meeting at his hometown of Louisville, Ky., but decided there was a need for steeplechase racing in his new hometown of Columbus, Ga. The young businessman, a former steeplechase rider and trainer, put the Hardaway Construction Co. bulldozers to work at Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain, Ga., and cleared a course. Among the premier azalea and camellia garden attractions of the South, Callaway Gardens will bring steeplechasing to the Columbus area for the first time Nov. 3. In an attempt to offer a premium stakes for horses preparing for the Colonial Cup two weeks later, Lampton has come up with $50,000 to attach to his feature race, a 2'/>-mile handicap. Other races include an unsanctioned mile turf test for Georgia owners, a $10,000 allowance ’chase, a $10,000 maiden ’chase and an additional allowance contest that carries a purse of $15,000. With all the sophisticated race courses in operation today, the Pennsylvania Hunt cup races Nov. 9 remain one of the tj*ue hunt meetings in that sense of the word. Set on the adjoining properties of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Weymouth, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Ledyard and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur O. Choate Jr., the rolling terrain is smack in the middle of the Cheshire Hunt Country — a fact that has caused more than one horse to turn toward his home bam halfway through the four-mile timber contest. The final meet of the season is on Nov. 17 at the Springdale Course in Camden, S. C. Since 1970, when the late Raymond G. Woolfe and Marion duPont Scott'conceived the internationally known Colonial Cup, this race has been the highlight of the racing season and the finale. Carrying a purse of $100,000 in the early years, it still remains the richest steeplechase in this country at $60,000, with $36,000 going to the winner of the 2-V.i-mile ’chase over the championship fences. There are 17 fences in all, and not one is jumped twice. Four-year-olls get 151 pounds, 5year-olds 160 and ola ;r horses, 162 pounds. The foreign invities are the best that can be found and those representing the United States can expect to chase after Flatterer, the Colonial Cup winner in 1983 and 1984. “Flatterer is by far 20 pounds better than any horse we have running today,” National Steeplechase and Hunt Association Racing Secretary William Gallo Jr. said by phone last week from his office at Belmont Park. “They won’t beat him no matter what weight he carries.” Flatterer carried 170 pounds in the Midsummer Handicap at Monmouth and was beaten in the final strides, giving away 21 pounds in his only race since winning at Camden, S. C., last fall. Primed and ready for the New York Turfwriters Cup at Saratoga, the only exercise Flatterer, the star of William Pape’s stable, got was a van ride from Jonathan Sheppard’s Unionville, Pa., farm. The stakes race was cancelled. The Colonial Cup card includes a first for ’chasing in this decade, a starter handicap. A two-mile ’chase for horses which have started over fences for a claiming 1 The best steeplec Each week during the fall steeplechase season the Arundel newspapers, The Fauquier Democrat, The Loudoun Times Mirror, The Reston Times, The Clarke Courier and The Rappahannock News give racing the best coverage, of any papers in Virginia. price of $30,000 or less — which includes most everyone except Flatterer, Le Sauteur and Chammsky this season.

A primer It began in 18th century England By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer The sport of steeplechasing, wb n has become a colorful fall tradition in Virginia, traces its beginnings to 18th century England. The story varies from teller to teller, but essentially the sport began as a race among several foxhunters following a morning of (probably unsuccessful) hunting. The horsemen frequently challenged one another as to who had the better, faster horse. Those challenges took the form of races to certain landmarks. Church steeples being the highest points of reference on the rural landscape, 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. Those obstacles have evolved into the fences at modem steeplechase courses in America. There are three distinct types of races at a modem steeplechase meet — timber, hurdle or brush, and flat. A timber race is usually at least three miles long, pitting the horses over about 16 1 timber or wooden fences during that distance. Because of the size of the fences (3feet-6-inches to 4-feet-6-inches) and the dis- . tance of the event, a timber race is often ‘ fairly slow compared to other types of j horse races. That makes them more popular with < 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 5 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 brash 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 assured that the fences fire consistent. The Nation. ,i Steeplechase and Hunt Association, ne sanctioning body for American st jeplechasing, owns several sets of bru h fences (six or seven are usually needed for a one-mile course) and those are rented to courses holding race meets. Hurdle fences are designed so that a horse can brush its legs through them without danger, and because of that, those ‘ races are a lot faster than timber races. Horses that start racing over hurdles and then progress to timber usually aren’t accustomed to lifting their legs high enough to clear the solid wood fences, They usually require several months of training over those unforgiving jumps before they can race safely. I A flat race, as it sounds, is a straight ' horse race on the grass without any fences. Those races often are only a mile or a mile and half long and can therefore be very exciting as the difference between the best horses in a flat race often is measured only in inches at the wire. Flat racing is a good wav to introduce a young potential steeplechaser to competition without too much danger of injury Many trainers also use flat races at meets early m the season ;o get tneir veteran steeplechasers tn snape tor later meet. —Douglas Lees for Arundel Newspapers Brush races are probably the most commotf types of race at steeplechase and there is always lots of action For each race at a steeplechase meet, the NSHA sets conditions that a horse must satisfy in order to be eligible. As can be imagined, there is a wide variety in types of race conditions. Beginning horses that have never won a race are entered in a maiden race. Once they “break their maiden," or win a race, they can he entered in a variety of other races. Usually the next race after a horse has won its maiden would be for non-winners of two Rut an owner or trainer could decide to enter his horse in a race for its ace croup if the conditions are right and if he believes his horse is good enough. All steeplechasers racing m NSHA sanctioned meets are thoroughbreds and all thoroughbreds have an official birthday Sec Chasing. Page

►Chasing From Page 26 Ian. 1, regardless of whether they were born Jan. 1 or Dec. 31. The earliest a steeplechase horse will start its racing career is as a 3 year old, and usually in the fall of its 3-year-old year. An up and coming 2 year old might race on the flat the fall of its juvenile year, but a trainer would not risk probable breakdown by running an immature horse over fences. A 3 year old will most often 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 depending on fitness and ability. But, a good healthy jumper can keep going until he is 13 or 14, older if he is exceptionally good. Older steeplechasers usually are geldings. Few stallions are raced over fences because of their fiery temperaments and their future value at stud. Mares often are retired for breeding or some other purpose when they are 8 or 9. Many metropolitan flat race tracks fill their programs with claiming races. They are the “bread and butter” races for those tracks. Not too many steeplechase horses are claimers, but there is usually one claiming race at most steeplechase meets. Horses entered in a claiming race run for a certain price, or value, 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 that is done by dropping a form in a specially marked box. The new owner then pays the claiming price of the horse to the old owner and the horse becomes his to race until someone else might claim it. A unique rule in steeplechase claiming.races is that spectators are eligible to claim a horse if they so desire. At regular flat race meets only owners or trainers running a horse in that particular meet are eligible to claim a horse. 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 1,000-pound animals born to run are being controlled by men and women weighing at most 150 pounds. Besides the racing, however, steeplechasing also is very popular because of what goes on between races and off the race course. For many spectators those are the most important aspects of a steeplechase meet. The people watchers and partiers may be lucky to see one race the whole afternoon. The sport is unique in that respect because of the intense excitement during the races, followed by the opportunity to relax and party in between, during and after the races in a beautiful country setting. It is no wonder that steeplechasing is one of the largest spectator events in the Old Dominion, often drawing crowds of from 5,000 to 30,000, depending on the location and size of the meet.

Steeplechasing history Hall honors the sport’s superstars By ANN BARKER Arund«l Newspaper* Special Writer Throughout the annals of American steeplechase history there have been but 10 horses to reach that supreme site: The National Museum of Racing’s Hall Of Fame at Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The complex intrigue and intricacy of thoroughbred racing and breeding has produced many fleet horses from the original three English foundation sires (the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Barb and the Byerly Turk). And often as not, the sport of racing over fences has been subject to some very obscure breeding lines. Not so in the case of Oedipus, who was a brown colt foaled in 1946 by Blue Larkspur • Be Like Mom by Sickle, whose breeding line fairly sparkled with stakes winning kin. Bred at Col. E. R. Bradley’s Idle Hour Farm in Kentucky, Oedipus was consigned for sale upon the complete dispersal of Idle Hour and purchased by Ogden Phipps. As a 2-year-old the colt gave no evidence of his breeding, nor did he in any manner reflect the abilities of his illustrious ancestors. After six attempts on the flat he was gelded and turned over to Mrs. Phipps and her jumping trainer, G. H. “Pete” Bostwick. F’inding a niche that was more than suitable. Oedipus raced in the old rose silks of Mrs. Phipps for six consecutive years, winning stakes in five of those seasons and retiring with earnings of $134,295. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1978. When Jay Trump went to the post at the Grand National meeting in Maryland on April 21,1962, he was a baby in the timber ranks — a mere 5-year-old. Trained and ridden by young Crompton “Tommy” Smith and owned by Mary C. Stephenson, the former Charles Town sprinter won off alone in his first attempt under rules. Six weeks later he accounted for the Radnor Hunt Cup almost on the same terms. In 1964, Jay Trump accomplished the near impossible. In a period of 21 days, he raced 10 miles, jumped 56 fences in 21 minutes and 41 seconds and captured My Lady’s Manor, the Grand National and the Maryland Hunt Cup. The following year his connections sent For Multi-Purpose Needs! 1 More Quality - More Features - More Warranty With A MORTON BUILDING Hay Storage • Machine Sheds • Shops • Horse Bams • Arenas NATION S largest builder of timber column farm buildings 1 WE HAVE THE BUILDING YOU NEED 1918 Industrial Drive, Culpeper, Va. 22701 703/825-3633 DECK DESIGNS Sun Decks Outdoor Structures Gazebos QUALITY CONSTRUCTION 7400 Gallerher Rd. Gainesville, Va. Phone (703) 754-9485 him to England to prepare for the English Grand National at Aintree. There, Jay Trump stamped his name in steeplechase immortality as he became the first American owned and ridden horse to capture the famous jump race. In 1966, his last year to race, Jay Trump was second to Mountain Dew in the Grand National but won My Lady’s Manor and his third Maryland Hunt Cup. During his retirement, Jay Trump was an eager foxhunter with the Camargo Hounds near Cincinnati, his owner’s home. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1971. There are few people living today who ever saw Jolly Roger race, but who can forget the name. Bred by Harry Payne Whitney, he was foaled in 1922 and, during his career, he became the money winning champion of steeplechasing in the Greentree Stable colors. Jolly Roger started 49 times and was first on 18 occasions and second and third nine times each. He was trained by Vincent Powers, who was a leading American jockey on the flat and over fences. Jolly Roger was a big, strong looking chestnut by Pennant and had ’chasing blood in his veins, for his second dam was the great hurdle mare, Forget. He bowed a tendon during the running of the 1930 Temple Gwathmey and was pensioned off to the farm. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1965. When Mrs. T.A. Randolph’s homebred Bon Nouvel was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1976 he was in the company of such greats as Northern Dancer and Ruffian. As the leading steeplechaser of 1968, Bon Nouvel won five of 15 starts. Partnering him through this impressive feat was the great Joe Aitcheson (inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1978), plus a sizeable load of lead in most every race as he was the horse to beat each time he stepped out on the turf. He was a bay gelding by Due de Fer-Good News by Happy Argo. Trained by “Mikey” Smithwick, who himself was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1975, Bon Nouvel earned a total of $164,128 racing over fences.

►Hall From Page 32 such as the Harbor Hill, Brook, Grand National and a spectacular 30-length score in the 1965 Temple Gwathmey while carrying 170 pounds. Battleship was the first American-bred and owned to win the famous Grand National at Aintree. Bred by Walter J. Salmon, he was a smallish son of Man o’ War out of Quarantine and was a stakes winner on the flat while racing in the colors of his breeder. Sold to Mrs. Marion duPont Scott and ridden through much of his career over fences by the top amateur rider Carroll K. Bassett, Battleship had won 10 of 22 starts on the flat as a juvenile. Mrs. Scott purchased the colt privately in 1931 and made him into a jumper. He did not start in 1932 but the two following years he won seven of 10 starts over fences including the American Grand National. Shipped to England, Battleship won seven of 23 starts, and in 1938 accounted for a victory in the Grand National at Aintree. Returned to this country, Battleship sired 57 foals including steeplechase champions War Battle (1947) and Shipboard (1956). He was inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously in 1969. Elkridge was a Maryland-bred who had his start under the great trainer Thomas Hitchcock. Kent Miller purchased the bay son of Mate out of the Black Toney mare Best By Test in 1941 for $7,000. By the time of his retirement at age 13 he had started 119 times over fences, winning 31 of these and placing 18 times with 15 thirds. Elkridge earned $235,225 over fences and was known and loved by thousands of racing fans in Maryland, Delaware and New York as the “King of Chasers.” He was a smallish horse, only 15.3 hands high, but in his remarkable 10-year career he accounted for nearly every important steeplechase in the northeast. He fell but once, at Laurel in 1945 when some brush lodged under his girth and brought him down. He was honored by his peers in 1966 alongside Neji. The legendary Mrs. Scott was responsible for another ’chaser in the Hall of Fame with Neji. A chestnut foal of 1950, Neji was bred by Mrs. Scott from Hunter’s Moon IVAccra by Annapolis. Prior to Zaccio, Neji remained at the top of steeplechase money earners for a dozen years, amassing a world record at the time of $271,956 for his owner, Mrs. Ogden Phipps. Trained by Mikey Smithwick, Neji was without peer in packing weight. Twice he carried 173 pounds to victory — in the 1958 Grand National and the 1957 Temple Gwathmey. In the 1958 renewal of the Gwathmey he carried a stunning 176 pounds only to be beaten by a head at the wire by Benguala, who carried 147 pounds. Racing through the depression years of the mid-1930s, Bushranger, another Hall of Famer, won only $20,635 in 16 starts over fences. He was a stakes winner at five and six and in his final season he won the Brook under 165 pounds and the Grand National under 172 pounds. He fractured a leg in a schooling accident later that year and had to be put down. Owned and bred by Joseph E. Widener, Bushranger was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1967. Owned by Raymond R. Guest of nearby Powhattan, L’Escargot entered the Hall of Fame in 1977. An Irish-bred foal of 1963, he raced only three times in the United States, winning the 1969 version of the =“MILLWOOD” Beautifully restored 15 room Colonial with new addition. 144 acres of rolling pastureland & woods.

He was named Horse of the Year that year despite his few starts. However he had a brilliant career in Europe. He included the Cheltenham Gold Cup in his record book, winning there twice. At the Aintree course, he made three appearances, finishing first, second and third in reverse order. He was retired at age 12 after his victory in the Grand National. Six weeks ago, the latest steeplechase horse to be honored in the Hall of Fame was Cafe Prince. Owned by Unionville, Pa., based George Strawbridge, Jr.’s Augustin Stables, “The Prince” lived up to his name. A foal of 1970 by Creme de la Creme - Princess Blair by Blue Prince, he was the first of the Augustin horses to earn an Eclipse award. Racing over fences for six seasons, he was the 3-year-old champion his first year out, winning four of five starts.

Cafe Prince did not race as a 6-year-old because of a bowed tendon, and the following year the comeback road was a bumpy one. He won only four of nine starts, pulling down the season’s finale, the Colonial Cup. In his final year of racing, he fumbled the first fence at Fair Hill, losing his rider and his bridle. Running free, “The Prince” led the field, jumping flawlessly to finish well in front. He pulled himself up and trotted back to his waiting groom with all the aplomb of a champion. He now enjoys the pleasures of foxhunting with the Andrews Bridge Hounds in southern Pennsylvania.
