Rappahannock News, September 18, 1986

Founded 1877 36TH Year, No. 38USPS 455580 16 pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1986 Washington; Virginia 22747 Phone 675-3349 25 cents Council okays Stuart subdivision plan By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Subject to approval from the Zoning Administrator and the town’s attorney, the Washington Town Council approved a plan by Stuart Property Associates to subdivide a portion of its approximately 11-acre parcel on Calvert Street. The plan proposed division and sale of a 1.5-acre parcel, including the vacant Victorian-style house adjacent to the Washington Cash Store. The parcel is being purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Robert T. Parrish. The lot’s 1.5acre size is the minimum allowed in a rural residential zone under the town’s amended zoning ordinance, adopted by the council at last month’s meeting. Rural residential lots not served by town water must be at least 1.8 acres in area. Zoning Administrator John McCarthy, acting as the town’s agent, will approve the subdivision plat and verify that the lot has a Health Department approved septic system and that it is indeed served by town water. Mayor Dean Morehouse urged that the council approve the application, “subject to the zoning administrator and town counsel taking a look at it for their approval.” He added that “the ordinance is a prudent and responsible tool to guide development. We’re open to all proposals — we told the public ‘Come and show us your plan’.” The four council members present at the meeting (Mr. Morehouse, Brad Fisher, Nan Thomasson and Evelyn Willis) passed the application unanimously. Mr. Morehouse added as an afterthought that “any future work (on the property) is subject to town and Architectural Review Board ordinances.” Mr. Parrish said that he understood that stipulation. Treasurer Brad Fisher reported that “all the town’s bills are paid. He added that the town has $9,000 in its checking account and $12,000 in savings, and that the Water Authority has a $1,200 balance in its account. He said that the last water main break cost the Authority $1,200 to fix, including the cost of replacing the entire main to the service lines on Jett Street “instead of patching the break. ” Mr. Fisher said that each time a coupling is dug up to repair a break it is found to be corroded from the outside in, “indicating that the ground is acid enough to corrode the pipe — the inside of the pipe shows ho wear at all.” In response to a query from Mrs. Willis, Mr. Fisher said that a ballpark figure for rebuilding the entire system is “$120,000 to $150,000 to bring it up to specs.” The council discussed various methods for funding an overhaul of the water system, but concluded that “it would be irresponsible to act tonight. We need a plan of action, a time frame . . . then we can decide where the revenue will come from,” Mayor Morehouse stated. He added that the council needs to authorize an engineer to redraw the map of the town’s water supply system. “That’s the only way we’re going to get the water system under control.” The mayor also suggested that a consultant be hired to assess the groundwater supply, pointing out that private wells and septic systems are located close together and the possibility exists for problems with toxins from those systems. Mr. Fisher replied that a “just completed” supply study of the upper Rappahannock basin projected that the town has an 80 percent surplus of supply until the year 2030. , Mr. Morehouse complimented Mr. Fisher for having “done a fine job keeping people in water.” Mr. Fisher replied that “it’s Ray (Pullen, the Water Authority’s lone employee) who has done an excellent job of keeping people in water.” Mrs. Willis, who is also a member of the Architectural Review Board, told the council that they had received a request from Pat Foster to put up a sign advertising his woodworking business. Mayor Morehouse observed that “it’s a home occupation — he can’t solicit retail business.” Jim Thomasson, another member of the ARB, explained that at the time Mr. Foster filed an application for his sign the old ordinance was in effect, but that by the time the ARB considered it the new ordinances had been passed.. Mr. Morehouse said that he felt that the discretion for approval of “transition” signs should lie only with the ARB, but “the ARB brought the problem back to the council — so the council must deal with it.” Mr. Fisher pointed out a consideration of intent. “People obviously felt they had a right for a sign and (they) submitted an application or put up the sign before the ordinance went into effect. ” Mr. Thomasson added that at least three other people in town, including Mr. Foster’s wife, Camille Harris, had hung signs without applying to the ARB for approval. “We didn’t make them take the signs down.

J permit for illegal subdivision By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Act one way or the other, and' let whoever is unhappy take it to court, because I assure you that’s where this will end up,” Attorney David Konick told the supervisors at their meeting September 8 as they once again considered a requestfrom Oscar and Stella Lozano for an> exception to the county’s subdivisionregulations. Citing pending and potential litigation, the board retired to executive session with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and emerged two hours later to vote unanimous approval for the Lozanos’ request. At issue is a 25.75-acre parcel sold to the Lozanos by Lindgren Land Inc. in 1978 as two 12-acre lots. Mr. Konick, attorney for adjoining landowners, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Hall, has maintained ~ and neither the Lozanos nor the Supervisors have disagreed ~ that the lots were illegally approved by then-zoning administrator Evan McNear since (1) the two- lots were cut from a previously subdivided parcel and (2) the lots are served by a 30-foot right-of-way. (The zoning ordinance prohibits resubdivision and requires that lots less than 25 acres in size be served by a 50-foot right-of-way.) With the Lozanos planning to sell their property as two lots, Mr. and Mrs. Hall petitioned the Board of Supervisors to vacate the subdivision plat and turn the 25 acres into a single parcel. In addition, they have taken their case to the Circuit Court, asking Judge Shore Robertson to overturn the subdivision. The Supervisors earlier denied the Halls’ petition to vacate and on Monday, granted the Lozanos exceptions to the subdivision ordinance requirements which the Halls alleged were violated, including a waiver of the referal to the Planning Commission for a recommendation. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, the board’s legal counsel, advised the Supervisors to consider the Lozanos’ application for subdivision ordinance exceptions “on its own merits, regardless of the pending court case.” The board must only determine if the application meets the standards set out in the ordinance for granting an exception, he added. “How close does it come?” Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked the zoning administrator. “It depends on how one interprets hardship,” John McCarthy replied. “It’s a hardship to take away a subdivision that’s been in existence for eight years ... On the other hand, it’s a hardship to expect the neighboring landowners to accept an illegal subdivision,” he said. “But substantially, it meets the requirements” in the zoning ordinance for granting an exception, Mr. McCarthy added. “You can defend it on that basis. ” Mr. Konick argued that hardship must pertain to the topography of the lot itself. Any economic hardship that the Lozanos face is “not a zoning hardship. It has nothing to do with zoning. It has nothing to do with subdivision law.” “The problem was originally created by the county’s own employee,” countered Elliot DeJamette, attorney for the Lozanos. Four or five other lots on the same road — including the Halls - have the same probContinued on page 16 No injuries in accident VAn accident Tuesday afternoon involving a county school bus loaded with elementary school children ltft everyone involved shaken but unhurt. “We were lucky,” Superintendent Robert Estabrook said. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, a 1982 Toyota opei„ied by Robert Edward Emerson, of Columbia, Md., was eastbound on Rt. 211 when he failed to see Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department Deputy Captain Ed Streapy, who was standing in the eastbound lane directing traffic while school buses loaded with students headed home pulled from Rt. 636 onto Rt. 211. Emerson’s car struck the front bumper of a 1984 school bus operated by Christine Timbers, of Sperry ville, which was making a right turn onto Rt. 211 on its way to Flint Hill. Emerson was charged with reckless driving as a result of the accident. Captain Streapy said that “I was standing in the middle of the road directing traffic. He was coming -- he never slowed down. I had to jump out of the way or he would have hit* me. He never applied his brakes until he was almost on the bus.” The deputy, a six-year veteran of the county force, added that two sheriffs department cruisers were parked on the side of the road with their blue lights flashing. “I’m just glad none of the kids got hurt,” he concluded. Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell said that he realized something was happening when he heard Deputy Streapy yelling for the car to stop. “These little reminders scare you to death,” Mr. Campbell said. “How could you have any more help than we have?” “It makes you wonder what you have to do to protect the kids,” Mr. Estabrook added. Mr. Campbell said that School Board members and administrators had expressed concern at the board’s last meeting about the possibility of just such an accident involving speeding vehicles on Rt. 211. “I told them ‘You want to get concerned, come out to the elementary school some day at 3:10 — look at the way people drive on that road (Rt. 211).’ ” Asked about the possibility of marking the intersection with flashing school zone signs, Mr. Campbell replied that state law requires that such zones be within a certain distance of the school building, and the Rt. 636 intersection does not meet the requirement. He stressed, however, the cooperation given by the Sheriffs Department in providing deputies to direct traffic every afternoon while the buses are leaving the school. Trooper Baines estimated damage to the bus at “a couple of hundred dollars,” and about $900 to Emerson’s car. School Board will fight for RCHS expansion proiect By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board has scheduled a special meeting to develop a battle plan for fighting for the long delayed expansion to the Rappahannock County High School. At last Tuesday’s session, Superintendent Robert Estabrook reminded the School Board members that the supervisors must still vote to accept the state’s Literary Loan for the $1.5 million project. And the supervisors announced in May that they will hold a public hearing to give the county’s taxpayers “a chance to make their sentiments known before the loan is signed,” he recalled. “There are many things that could be done to promote this project and get the blessings of the Board of Supervisors,” Mr. Estabrook continued. “Phone contacts, flyers, newspaper articles.” But the concurrence of the School Board is necessary before any such campaign can be launched, he added. The superintendent suggested that the School Board meet with him, assistant superintendent Tom Campbell and high school administrators Robert Chappell and John Toth to review cost projections and plans for the high school expansion. “This kind of thing can have political implications,” he cautioned. “We have to make sure that whatever information we give out is accurate,” he added, noting that with the. time lapse since the School Board endorsed the capital outlay plan, memories need to be refreshed. It will do the cause no good to have one School Board member citing one figure on projected cost and another member citing a different figure, he explained. “We'need to be singing the same tune and working from a common data base. ” “I do think we should be prepared,” agreed Chairman Beverly Massie, suggesting that the board review cost estimates and design plans at its special meeting set Sep tember 22 for opening bids on installation of a new coal stoker at the high school. “That will help us all to act responsibly,” Mr. Estabrook said. The superintendent reported that the high school project is now 18th on the state's list for funding with a Literary Loan at five percent interest. He estimated that the money will become available inflate November. (The superintendent met this week with architects in’ Roanoke; a complete report on design and fiscal impact of the high school expansion project will appear in next week’s Rappahannock Neu\s). History of capital outlay project, 1959 to present • 1959 — Rappahannock County High School built for capacity of 285 students. • 1966 — Additional rooms, shop added to increase classroom capacity to 385; no expansion of cafeteria, restrooms, library, guidance and administrative offices, storage or other base facilities. • 1976 — Joint Supervisor-School Board committee studies space needs, finds facility overcrowded, only minimum number of academic units offered and some teachers changing rooms as often as five times daily so that classes with large enrollments can be scheduled in larger rooms. Committee makes no recommendation on expansion, claiming “too many variables involved.” * • 1979 — School Board committee proposes $686,647 capital outlay project of 15,950 square feet, including greenhouse, horticulture classroom, expanded kitchen, cafeteria, library, bathrooms, offices, storage and nine new classrooms. School Board endorses four classrooms with 1981 completion date requested. • April 1980 — Joint School Board-Supervisor committee proposes RCHS space study to determine if rooms in high school are being used at optimum efficiency. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, also chairman of the joint committee, presents $1.25 million high school expansion plan to committee members. The plan includes 14,188 square feet with three science labs, two business classrooms, art room, music room, expanded library and cafeteria, four restrooms, clinic, teacher workroom, guidance office and locker room. • May 1980—- Mr. Luke recommends buying trailers to solve space needs at RCHS. State’s visiting evaluation team cites space needs at RCHS and recommends expansion of base facilities and addition of new classrooms. • September 1980 — Supervisors ask School Board for capital outlay report. • October 1980 — School Board endorses ex panded course offerings at RCHS; Superintendent William Bloomer recommends addition of five classrooms. • February 1981 — Dr. Bloomer reports $1.3 million cost for five new classrooms and expanded base facilities. • March 1981 — In compromise, School Board asks architect to design addition for two science labs, two guidance offices, one business classroom, storage facilities and bathrooms for handicapped. • May 1981 — School Board scraps plans for expanded course offerings after learning that new courses cannot be implemented without additional space. • February 1982 — New superintendent Robert Estabrook’s “plan for planning” the high school expansion is approved by the School Board.

Constitution Week marks the beginning of the 200th anniversary celebration of the signing of the Constitution. Another bicentennial begins A convention was called in May of 1787 in Philadelphia, comprised of representatives from the thirteen states which had fought in the Revolutionary War, to work out a document which would replace and improve the Articles of Confederation. The Articles were the governing covenants of the fledgling United States of America, adopted following the victorious conclusion of the American Revolution. They were adopted in 1781. Fifty-five delegates from 12 states, seven of them Virginians, came to the convention at some time or another during the summer, but only 42 stayed until the Constitution was written. Thirty-nine signed the finished document into law on September 17, 1787, and all 12 states were represented. Three men, George Mason and Edmund Randolph of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, at the last minute, decided that they could not sign the document. The Constitution divided powers between the states and the national government. Its formula has stood the test of time. The Constitution is the oldest written national document still in use in the world. Many other newer democracies have adopted ideas first put forth by the framers of the American Constitution. It has upheld the principles of freedom and liberty throughout our country for 199 years. Having first served a nation of 13 weak states along the shores of the Atlantic, it now serves a great nation of 50 states, stretching from the Atlantic shore into the Pacific. The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, reminds everyone that September 17 to 23 is Constitution Week, and that this year the 199th observance of it will also serve as the beginning of the Constitution’s bicentennial celebration. The celebration is being coordinated by former Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Warren Burger, who stepped down from that post to devote his entire energies to the Constitution’s bicentennial celebration. The DAR urges all Americans to fly their flag in honor of the Constitution, and to observe Constitution Week with pride and patriotism. General District court Randall Carl Johnson, 68/55, $26/25.

Many return to attend birthday party „ By Lou HATTER Kappahannock News Staff Writer ^bout 200 Rappahannock County residents, both current and former, gathered at the elementary , school Saturday night to share in the “ - celebration of Mary Botts - "• Quaintance’s 80th birthday. Testimonials came from many people whom she had touched during •^er more than half-century of educating Rappahannock County chil^ dren — and teachers, as was pointed out by Kathy Arn, who started her teaching career 11 years ago at Rappahannock County Elementary School. , Ms. Arn travelled from Virginia ‘ ^ Beach, where she teaches now, to be . at Mrs. Quaintance’s celebration. “It was my first teaching job, and for all my education courses I didn’t know how to teach until she showed me. It wasn’t a matter of lessons —she latched on to the drive and excitement of young teachers. She let us go — she never restricted us. “Any teacher fortunate enough to have started under her has had their whole career affected. And i,.i those teachers have spread that influence, as they move from place to .... place. I’ve taught in Albemarle, Madison, Manassas and now Vir, : ginia Beach. Think of all the children who have taken her lessons with them as they grow and move on. ij ‘ Mrs. Quaintance has affected many r. .. more people than even she realizes. “She was not just an educator — she was a philosopher. She taught an ...: outlook on life. She was so openminded. She ran a tight ship, but ...” Ms. Arn smiled as she recalled > the time she spent teaching in Rappahannock. “I had wood heat in my house, and she let me keep breakfast f cereal and my makeup at the school • so I could come in and get ready for • . class where it was warm ... On ' snow days she knew that we some! times climbed in the windows so that l we could catch up on our work. ; “She had to be in it for the love of j the job — that had to be her reward, j You could never pay for what she t did.” As an afterthought Ms. Am i asked, smiling again, “Please correct ! my grammar so she doesn’t yell at i me.” v - The program organized by Lucia ;» Kilby and MC’ed by Ray Snead in< eluded remembrances — many hu%, morous in hindsight but probably »’ not so funny at the time to those who ^ ■ found themselves on the wrong side J of the veteran elementary school j! principal. t ,, 0.

Mr. Norton said that he received a phone call from Mrs. Quaintance asking that he come over and speak with her regarding a problem with her teachers. He smiled as he recalled his anticipation of a meeting with Mrs. Quaintance. Instead, she asked him to step into the next room. He did, and she followed behind. Mr. Norton found himself standing in front of the school’s faculty, with Mrs. Quaintance standing in the corner, blocking the door. “Now,” she said firmly, “please tell my teachers why they have to do all this additional work.” Several speakers remembered her generosity to the less fortunate children of the county. “She never let a child go hungry,” said Julia Boddie, a former teacher. “She always made sure that they had something to eat — to carry them through the brainwork of the day.” H. B. Wood, who graduated from Rappahannock County High School in June, recalled the time someone crawled through a window of the elementary school and stole the cash box. Mrs. Quaintance caught up with the two culprits outside the Hampton Inn. “It’s either the money or jail,” she told the two. They returned part of the money, but main tained they had spent the rest. Mrs. Quaintance didn’t buy the story, and eventually recovered the rest of the loot hidden in a cemetery in Page County. “Sherlock Holmes would be envious,” Mr. Wood concluded. “She was not only an educator, she was policeman, jury — and judge.” The entire championship girls’ basketball team from 1938-39 returned for the birthday gathering. Mae Brown Allison, Virginia Woodward, Frances Brown Thornton, Louise Schaefer Varner and Dibby Schaefer Manuel were coached by Mrs. Quaintance, who always found time in her busy schedule to encourage her students to participate in sports. “There wasn’t much to do but play basketball,” Mrs. Thornton recalled. Robert Witten, who began his administrative career as assistant principal under Mrs. Quaintance and is now a county superintendent in Pennsylvania, remembered the crestfallen look on the face of his counterpart in Warren County every year when the Rappahannock bus arrived for Field Day. “The kids filed off the bus, and his face got longer and longer. I don’t think they ever won.” Mary Edna Schaefer, a student in Mrs. Quaintance’s class the first year she taught, who later returned to become Mrs. Quaintance’s secretary, reported that the scholarship fund established in her honor is “doing real well. It’s an open-ended thing, so we’re not going to tally it for several weeks, but we’ve had a wonderful response. I’m so pleased.” “She has done a lot for everybody, but most especially for those who need it most,” Mrs. Schaefer added. “She has touched many, many families in the county. She made you want to do well — to please her.” Robert Leonard, assistant superintendent of schools in Warren County, related something he said Mrs. Quaintance had told him once, which he said summed up her approach to education. “It’s one thing,” she maintained, “to teach young people to make a living. It’s another thing to teach them how to lead useful productive lives.” Contributions to the scholarship fund which has been established in Mrs. Quaintance’s name should beaddressed to: Mary Edita Schaefer, P.

WSA still looking for sludge hauler By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority is trying again to solicit bids for hauling septage and sludge generated by Sperryville’s new treatment plant. Construction of the sewage treatment plant has solved one problem — pollution of the Thornton River from malfunctioning septic fields in the village’s flood plain soils. But it has created a second, no less serious problem — what to do with (1) the sludge left over after the waste water is treated and (2) the septage pumped from the individual septic tanks that are part of the sewage collection and treatment system. Bill Strider, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission which administers the federal and state grants awarded for the sewage system’s construction, advertised once ■ previously for septage and sludge haulers with just a single response. But, he told the WSA members two months ago, contractors apparently wanted more information, particularly the designation of a disposal site, before bidding on the work. If no local site is available, and contractors have to provide their own, bids will be higher, depending on the distance that the sludge and septage must be hauled, Mr. Strider explained. Longer hauling distance “has a tendency to drive the price up,” he said. Last Thursday, Mr. Strider reported that he has sent new specifications to all licensed sludge and septage haulers in the five-county Planning District 9 and Page County. The revised invitations to bid “specifically said that septage -may have to be hauled outside Rappahannock’s boundaries.” Size of septic tanks was given and the type of sewer system explained. “Hopefully, we will obtain bids,” Mr. Strider said. If none is received, “the county’s Board of Supervisors is going to have to make a decision on this issue,” he added. Currently, the supervisors are holding to a moratorium on land application of sludge and septage in Rappahannock. They have indicated willingness to land-apply sludge from Sperryville’s plant but not sludge from outside the county, particularly not sludge from Washington, D.C.’s Blue Plains plant. However, Commonwealth’s Attor ney Peter Luke has cautioned that discrimination against “outside” sludge is legally questionable without a rational basis for the differentiation. “Legally, we’re in a tight spot,” Mr, Strider told the WSA members. “If we can’t get it hauled outside the county...” “But if we can contract with a hauler, that would solve our problem,” interjected WSA chairman Martin Woodard. “The shoe is still on our foot,” noted Del Price. “The supervisors are waiting for us to tell them we’ve contracted with somebody to haul the sludge and septage,” he said, before they act on the two-year-old moratorium, either to lift it or turn it into an outright ban against land ap-, plication of sewage treatment’s byproducts. If a hauler is found, the supervisors will ban sludge spreading in Rappahannock, the WSA chairman predicted. The state has issued a certificate to operate for the Sperry ville sewage treatment plant, despite its sludge and septage problem. “That we plan to have it hauled is sufficient for the regulatory agencies to allow us to proceed,” Mr. Woodard noted. No crisis In a telephone interview this week, Mr.- Strider emphasized that the WSA has not entered crisis mode with its septage and sludge problems. “There’s no major push right now,” he said, noting that individual septic tanks are not scheduled to be pumped out until next summer. “And they won’t really need to be pumped then.” Mr. Strider explained that the WSA plans to have the tanks emptied on a three-year cycle, with a third pumped every year. “There won’t be much in the way of solids accumulated in the bottom of the tanks, but we’ll work into the cycle then.” As for the small amount of sludge generated by the sewage treatment plant, that is “no immediate problem” either, according to the Planning District’s executive director. The WSA has several months, “at least six,” before sludge will have to be hauled from Sperryville, he said. He expressed confidence that licensed haulers will respond by the bid submission deadline of October 2. “We’re trying very hard to get this squared away,” Mr. Strider concluded. Rate amendment rejected In a unanimous vote, the WSA rejected an amendment to its user rate schedule that would have halved the $12.85 monthly EDU (equivalent dwelling unit) charge for unoccupied residences. “If we start reducing this thing, we’re going to be in big trouble,” maintained Carson Johnson, advising the WSA to consider appplications for rate reductions on a caseby-case basis on hardship grounds.

Supervisors say no to quarry landfill By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer In took just a few minutes. With little discussion and no argument, Rappahannock’s supervisors voted unanimously Monday night to recommend that the state reject an application for a debris landfill at the Flint Hill quarry. In addition, zoning administrator John McCarthy reported that an inspector from the Virginia Division of Mines and Mineral Resources will inspect the quarry on Wednesday for dynamite, “assuming all the participants are agreeable.” At a public hearing last week on Harry List’s proposal to dispose of Northern Virginia construction debris at the old quarry site, Ellis Bennett charged that dynamite had been left there after blasting operations ceased about 10 years ago. Mr. Bennett, the former operator of a front end loader at the quarry, pointed to his crippled hand, scarred lip and hearing aid as evidence of injuries he received in an accidental explosion at the site. “I worked in that quarry for 17 years, and there’s dynamite left in the holes,” he alleged. (In a telephone interview last week, the president of Culpeper Stone emphatically denied that accusation. A. Gordon Willis Jr. confirmed that Mr. Bennett had worked for his company at the Flint Hill quarry but added that the company’s records do not show he was ever injured on the job.) At Monday’s special meeting, called to comply with deadlines for making a recommendation to the state, Mr. McCarthy said that action from the supervisors may be super- 1 fluous. Robert Forman, area director for the state’s division of waste management, has not yet visited the proposed debris landfill site. “But he says there’s not a significant chance that the state would grant the permit” for a quarry landfill, based on his experience, the zoning administrator reported. The quarry site is currently zoned industrial. In an industrial zone, landfills are neither permitted by right nor by special use permit. “So assuming that this application clears the state’s hurdles,” Mr. McCarthy noted, Rappahannock’s regulations would require a text amendment to the zoning ordinance to add landfills as a special permit use in Continued on page 15 Inspector: No evidence of forgotten charges By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “I found no evidence of explosives,” reported the inspector from the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy after checking the Flint Hill quarry site on Tuesday, a day earlier than expected. Robert E. Morgan said he visited the site with owner W. A. Gentry and Ellis Bennett, former quarry worker who initially suggested that undetonated dynamite had been left there when blasting operations ceased some 10 years ago. Mr. Morgan was looking for “leg wires,” plastic coated copper wiring which would have been , ,,, attached to electrical blasting ; caps. He found none. In addition, he saw no abnormalities in the rock pile itself. “All the rock is fractured. That’s an indication that the dynamite went off,” he explained. The inspector, who teaches a course in explosives theory and handling, said that the type used at the quarry had three parts: a cap, a dynamite primer and a blasting agent, in this case ammonium nitrate. “Most of the hole was filled with ammonium nitrate — it’s cheap!” Mr. Morgan reported. “It’s basically fer tilizer soaked with diesel fuel.” Over time, the nitroglycerin (the explosive ingredient) separates from the filler (usually an absorbent such as wood pulp) “even if it’s stored properly, in a magazine,” he said. What happens after the separation? “Then it won’t shoot!” Mr. Morgan said. How long does it take for this separation to occur? “Two, three years,” he noted. “So even if there was dynamite at the quarry, it’s unlikely it would detonate at this time,” the inspector said. He added that he had advised Mr. Gentry to contact the manufacturer of the dynamite used at the Flint Hill quarry for written confirmation of this assertion. According to Mr. Morgan, Mr. Bennett based his warning about the dynamite on a 1972 incident involving “premature detonation.” The mines inspector said Mr. Bennett told him that he was picking up a boulder with his front end loader when dynamite in the rock exploded. Mr. Bennett said he was injured in the explosion but not hospitalized for his injuries, according to the inspector.

V___) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1986 Editorial \ An urgent appeal The Red Cross has announced an emergency appeal for blood donors due to a serious and continuing shortfall in supplies of all blood types. In some cases the situation is so critical that elective surgery in area hospitals is being postponed. Much of the problem can apparently be related to the public’s fear of the possibility of contracting AIDS by exposure to contaminated blood or equipment. The Red Cross stresses that it is impossible to contract the AIDS virus through blood donation. All of the equipment used in the donation program is sterilized, and much is used once and thrown away so there is no possibility of contamination. The Red Cross has also published a piece entitled “What Good is a Blood Donor?” Given the current critical situation, it is worth thinking about. “A blood donor is good for people who go through windshields and red lights ... For somebody with leukemia . . . For people being operated on ... For barefoot kids who aren’t careful . . . For victims of violence ... For hemophiliacs so they can live as normally as possible ... For daredevils ... For someone undergoing dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant . . . For people who fool around with guns ... For little kids who manage to uncap a bottle of something poisonous ... For people who are badly burned ... For new mothers needing transfusions . . . For a new baby who needs a complete change of blood supply . . . For someone having open heart surgery . . . For cancer patients . . . For someone with a severe case of hepatitis . . . For kids who fall out of trees or anywhere else ... For anybody any age with bleeding ulcers ... For people in the wrong place at the wrong time . . . For the very tired with severe anemia . . . For people who run into things ... For a’,1 +he people who are in a lot worse shape than most people you know. A ood donor is good for life.” The Aileen plant in Flint Hill is sponsoring a special Bloodmobile visit on Tuesday, September 23, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Flint Hill fire hall. We urge anyone who is able to donate blood (and that includes almost all adults, regardless of age of physical condition) to assist the Red Cross in this emergency situation. Remember, the life you save may be your own - or someone you love. Saluting the Constitution By JAMES P. DOWNEY We sometimes take for granted the blessings which are secured to us by our system of government and law. But with every news account of the miseries of people elsewhere in the world who are less fortunate, new examples are provided of things that don’t happen here, because of our Constitution, and a system adequately structured to secure its principles. For the lawyer or judge, the terms “due process of law” and “equal protection of the law” are like dough to a baker or chalk to a teacher: they are basic, constant, and indispensable realities of daily life. These and other principles are embodied in the U.S. Constitution and the Virginia Constitution, on which it was based. They are brought to bear upon such diverse events as when the president obtains the advice and consent of the Senate, and when a kindergarten obtains a permit from a local zoning board to operate in a residential area. The Constitution is truly the law of the land. These realities are not regularly expressed in summary form, or in terms of neighborly conversation. The symbols of our civic life, although necessary and often inspiring, can lose their meaning if we fail to appreciate the importance of the ideals and the values of being affirmed by them. For example, the Great Seal of the United States, adopted June 20, 1782, is printed on every dollar bill. Jn it, you can read the motto “AnluibCoeptis," which means “He has avored our undertakings.” This ribute to the Almighty is matched >y the pyramid symbolizing the oundation of our country, with the ,11-seeing eye of Divine Providence veering over a vast expanse. The Founding Fathers felt the vorking of Divine Providence as Quest column they developed a system for governing our country, and they had no small perspective for their vision of the future, inscribed on the Seal as “Nomis Ordo Seclorum“A New Cycle of Centuries.” The momentous achievement of the U.S. Constitution has been placed aptly in its historical context by the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, who wrote: “I know of only three times in the Western World when statesmen consciously took control of historic destinies: Periclean Athens, Rome under Augustus, and the founding of (the) American Republic.” The noble vision of the Founding Fathers has been tested in the two centuries that have followed. Most of the great historical forces and factors that have molded the modem world have been played out within the framework of American Constitutional history: imperialism, nationalism, immigration, industrialism, science, religion, democracy and liberty. With these forces have emerged social, political and economic institutions which have had frequent reference to the Constitution as disputes or legislative issues have occurred. In the months ahead, the Commission will organize lecture discussion programs, essay contests, articles for publication in this newspaper, and other events which will increase public appreciation of the Constitution in history, and in our daily lives. We invite you to join us. The writer, chairman of the Fauquier County Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, also serves as Fauquier County Attorney and maintains a private law practice. iMiM. Rappahannock Heritage CARROLL RACER IS HOPING for another bumper crop of apples from his harvest this year. V Rappahannock News file photo Letters to the editor Tourism: A benefit to all To the editor: With all due respect to Mr. Newbill Miller and other members of the Board of Supervisors, I owe the good people of Rappahannock County a clarification of the objectives, goals, plans and hopes for the newly formed Foothills Travel Association of Virginia. The invitation to form this group was extended by the State of Virginia Division of Tourism and was open to any and all interested residents of the counties of Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier, Orange and Rappahannock, all members of Planning District 9. Under the guidance of William Strider, Acting Director of the Planning District, many men and women from these counties banded together, voluntarily, and with the legal assistance of Ed Gentry, president of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce, they elected officers and are planning a campaign to promote tourism within the area. It is a fact that tourism is the second largest industry in the State of Virginia, and the first income producing industry in Rappahannock County. Without tourism, where would the finest restaurant in Virginia be? W'ho would buy our antiques, who would shop our fruit and vegetable stands on Route 211, who would stop to buy the Lions Club apple butter? Who would fill the streets of Little Washington on the Fourth of July — help raise funds for the Volunteer Fire Depaitment, support the 4-H booths, bring crafters into our county to sell their wares? What would Rush River and Heritage House do if there were no visitors to buy their merchandise? Perhaps Faith Mountain and Country Manor might exist on their catalogue sales, but think of all the people who would be unemployed. If the tourists did not pass our way, they would find another place to leave their dollars, and then visualize the empty buildings. Empty buildings mean no collectible taxes. Our association is not looking to anything more than to attract visitors to our area for a very short period of time. The more success our business community experiences, the more tax dollars are created and perhaps our tax rates can remain what they are and not go higher. The association is trying very hard to promote the counties of the Planning District as “SPLENDOR FOR ALL SEASONS” — a place to visit 12 month’s of a year; an area where people are employed 12 months a year; a place where income can be counted on 12 months a year. I believe, as does Mr. Miller, in the separation of government and business, but sometimes, in the course of events, government must lend a helping hand. In order for the Association to achieve its goal for the Planning District, it must produce, for the State Division of Tourism, a brochure which will entice and attract the visitors coming into the State of Virginia. We have had members volunteer many, many hours working on a brochure worthy of our area. We have had professional writers and graphic artists contribute their time and talents for this endeavor. This brochure will be ready for distribution in the 11 state visitor centers by the first of October, the busiest time of the year here in Rap pahannock County. The brochure will be included in all mailings done by the state to attract visitors into Virginia. They will pay for the distribution, they will do the advertising, they are going to support us. But we must do our share. As our membership grows, our treasury will grow, and these funds will cover our daily expenses. Based on a population count of 6,100 people in Rappahannock County, we have requested $397.72. This is .065 cents per person — the lowest contribution in the Planning District. Madison County, with a population of 10,500 people, has already made their contribution of $700. The other cou®ties in the Planning District are preparing their apportionate shares. This brochure will not advertise any one business by name. It will note the important towns and vil lages, the places to see, the things to do. It will highlight all the features of each county. It must and will extend an invitation to visitors to come to the foothills of the Blue Ridge and spend time with us on the way. These are our goals and ambitions. We welcome new members from all segments of our county. On October 7, at Prince Pichel Vineyards in Culpeper, at 9 a.m., we are planning to launch a membership drive and invite you to join us at this kickoff. We need the input of concerned citizens who are interested in making Rappahannock County a busy and interesting place to visit 12 months a year. I was very naive when I appeared before the Board of Supervisors last week. I thought I could convince them of the importance of the Foothills Travel Association for the entire county. When I appear again, I will have facts and figures. I hope the Board will hear me, and perhaps reconsider its opinion. If you are interested in the goals and objectives of the association, please call the Planning District office at 825-6140 and they will be glad to tell you of our meetings and upcoming events. The business community is always being called upon by fund raising churches, volunteer groups and other organizations for contributions, donations or sponsorships of ball teamt. Don’t the good people of our county think it worth the effort to help this association in bringing more funds to our area to help make life a little bit easier for all of us? Thank you for allowing me this space. LORRAINE F. ROBSON Secretary-Treasurer Foothills Travel Association of Virginia Slate Mills Rebutting the critics l o tne editor: The lottery question in the Commonwealth of Virginia reminds me of the fellow who told me during my freshman year in the House of Delegates, “Don’t, confuse me with the facts: my mind is made up.” Here are the facts: 1. There is no evidence in other states that have lotteries that organized crime will become involved in the operation of a statewide lottery. 2. A lottery does not foster compulsive gambling.' Playing the lottery does not create the instant gratification that a compulsive gambler craves. 3. The lottery will not reduce taxes, dui it win iorestaii an increase in taxes. 4. Last year Maryland’s lottery netted the state $323 million. Virginia has approximately one million more people than Maryland. Maryland estimates that some* 30 percent of its sales were from “Northern Virginians,” for. which the Governor, the legislature and the citizens of Maryland are very grateful indeed! The common objection that a disproportionate amount of the poor would participate in the lottery is, in my opinion, a view which is guilty of elitist paternalism. It has been shown that 85 percent of the people who participate in the lottery earn between $18,000 and $56,000 ayear. Not allowing the people of this Commonwealth to vote on the lottery question is the sort of intellectual arrogance that is unworthy of a Virginia that produced people such as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Patrick Henry. They believed that ordinary people were perfectly capable of exercising good sense and good judgment most of the time, given the opportunity to make their choices at the ballot box. That’s all I ask of my lottery bill —that the people of Virginia have the opportunity to make some of their own choices about how and when they shall be taxed. DEL. J. W. “BILLY” O’BRIEN • JR. 83rd District, Virginia Beach A delightful birthday To the editor: To my many friends in Rappahannock and elsewhere: There are no words that can express my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful celebration in my honor that was held at Rappahannock County Elementary School on Saturday evening. It was well worth admitting that I had been hanging around for 80 years to have such a delightful birthday party given for me. Thank all of you for all the wonderful things you did; for what you said, as well as what you didn’t say, about me; for your generous donations to the Scholarship Fund; for your birthday cards, telephone calls, and person to person birthday wishes; for unlimited amounts of delicious desserts and beverages and for those who helped to serve them; for the lovely flowers and corsages, and most of all for coming and for be ing such thoughtful and caring friends. An extra thank you to the hard working committee that came up with the idea of this great celebration and put it all together so beautifully; to the Rappahannock News for its editorial and its “special” about me; for those who made the picture slides, old May Day movie, and my lovely “Memoty Book” possible; to our Rappahannock poets for their poems; to one of my champion basketball teams who all showed up for the game; to. the Rappahannock School System for the use of its facilities and to the janitorial staff that made these facilities so attractive; and to the Rappahannock Rockets and their instructors for their special number. If I have left you out, ‘Thanks to you, too.” You have almost made me believe that life begins at 80! MARYBOTTS Sperryville Have something to say about public issues? Get it off your chest.

Beahm kin sought To the editor: We are doing an extensive research on the' Beahm/Beam family and, although we have located and have much information on the descendants of George Washington Beahm of Rappahannock County and his brother Warner Royal Beahm of Madison County, we have found very little data on the other children of John Beahm (1784-1835) and his wife, Nancy Bowen Beahm, who were married in Culpeper County in 1813. The children of this union whom we need information about are: Mildred Beahm, who married James Daniel in 1846; Daniel Beahm, who married first Mary Smelser in 1843 and then Magdalene Yowell in 1886; Elizabeth Beahm, who married Gabriel Brown in 1844; Silas Jacob Beahm, no further information; John Beahm, who married Sarah Long in 1847; Eliza Ann Beahm, who married William Foster in 1859. All of these marriages took place in Rappahannock County with the exception of Daniel’s two marriages and that of John Beahm, which occurred in Page County.

Letter to the editor Down memory lane lo the editor: While on a recent visit to Rappahannock County, my childhood home, I stopped by the Sperryville Emporium to look around at the place that was my 4th grade school. To the top of the steps, the last room on the right, 1959 seemed a long time passed, until I stepped mto that 4th grade room. I was nine years old. And with the same hardwood floor, green chipped walls and remnants of the blackboard, remembering was easy. Mrs. Turner was standing beside her desk. She had a wide smile with perfect teeth. Her hair was pulled off her face and into two braids on top. Her cheeks were red circles of rouge. Mrs. Turner smiled a lot. She was reminding us to please hang our wraps in the cloak closet, (terms I had forgotten until then). Wayne Dodson was my boyfriend. He was tall for his age and had thick, dark hair longer than the other boys. His shirt was always hanging out, and sometimes he would get into fights. He was brave too. He could swing until he had wrapped the swing twice over the pole. But Wayne loved Jeanie Wood, at least that’s what he cut into his desk top. She was beautiful with her waist-length blonde hair, blue eyes and soft voice. Jeanie always bought lunch and took such tiny bites that she never finished. She wore ruffled socks and her legs were never scratched up or bruised. All the boys liked her, she ignored them. I liked Wayne a lot. So during one May Day program I pulled my white crepe-paper skirt up making it shorter than Jeanie’s, and Wayne still chased after her. Before the year was out I liked Willard Bright. He had picked my pencil off the floor several times and liked hitting me with wet paper balls. Once he loaned me his blue handkerchief for my nosebleed. Funny, I can’t remember what we studied that year. I did pass to the 5th grade. And I do wonder whatever happened to Wayne and Willard, Jeanie and Kay. KAY PETTY McMULLEN Front Royal ‘Marketing Art’ is forum topic Ihe panel discussion to be presented Saturday, September 20, by the Artists’ Forum of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community answers a need long felt by the artists in the community, according to Laurie Marshall, local artist and the moderator of Saturday’s panel. “Like other businesses here, the artists need to market their work beyond the available local markets,” she said. “And all of us feel that the creation of the work is difficult enough. Add to that the difficulty of understanding marketing, finding markets, and dealing back and forth with the sale of art work, all usually at a distance, and it’s taking up more and more of the artists time.” Why have so many artists chosen a community where marketing is even more of a difficulty than usually experienced by artists? “Many of us live here because of the area’s natural beauty,” answered Ms. Marshall. “And I can’t speak for all of the artists, but I find it very important to live among people who aren’t all artists. In an urban setting, you find artists sometimes who only talk to each other. I think that you lose some perspective when this happens.” Ms. Marshall, who was the first executive director of RAAC, and an educator as well as an artist, said that the panel assembled for Saturday’s presentation has very practical advice to offer local artists. “All of them are in a position to know exactly what various buyers in the art world want, and how to reach them,” Ms. Marshall explained. She’s asked them to focus their discussion on the markets they’re most familiar with, the needs, size and nature of those markets, the avenues for reaching the markets, appropriate forms of presentation, guidelines for pricing work, and other advice for selling to these particular markets. The panel discussion is the third presentation this year by the Artists’ Forum, the arm of RAAC devoted expressly to assisting local artists in both practical and artistic areas. Other forum activities this year were the Creative Audience class with Shirley Paukulis and the Art-In, directed by Jeanne Drevas, which created the mannequins which now live at the Gay St. Theater. The discussion is from 5 to 10 p.m. at Blackwater Homestead. Participants may come and leave at any time. Saturday’s event, like all Artists’ Forum activities traditionally includes a potluck meal. Most Forum presentations are free of charge: the discussion will be $3. Both RAAC members and nonmembers are invited. There will be opportunities for questions and comments from those attending the forum. The panel members are: Cindy Schaal, Virginia Coordinator for the Commission for the Arts, Former art gallery owner, and coordinator of the Richmond Arts Council; Cindy Kelly of the Maryland Arts Council; Frank D’Serio of Corporate Arts Services and Wretha Hanson of Franz Bader Gallery. To reach Blackwater Homestead, travel east on Rt. 522, turn left on Rt. 650, bear right about a mile later on Rt. 615. Blackwater Homestead is about a mile on the left. For more information or to reserve a place, call Sally Nash, 9878451 or the RAAC Office, 675-3193. The next Artists’ Forum presentation is Bookkeeping For Artists on October 24. Artists of the Blue Ridge exhibit set Artists from throughout Virginia have reserved space at the second annual Artists of the Blue Ridge fine arts exhibition to be held Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19 at Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville. The juried show will exhibit traditional and innovative Virginia crafted art as well as watercolors, oils, photography and etching. More than thirty artists will bring works in cloth, paper, paint, ceramics, stoneware and wood. Virginia photographers will be represented with both black 'and white and color portraits of Virginia’s landscapes and people. The two-day show is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). Besides the exhibit, there will be live entertainment by traditional musicians, an Octoberfest food garden and a children’s creative comer. Also on view will be the spectacular maple tree that dominates Sperryville scenery in autumn and is visited by photographers from national magazines each October. Park rangers predict that the weekend of the arts fair will be the most spectacv ular in terms of mountain fall foliage. “Artists of the Blue Ridge” is on the grounds of the Faith Mountain Company on Sperryville’s Main Street. Some of the artists known locally who will be exhibiting at the second annual Artists of the Blue Ridge Exhibition are Cynthia Mahan, a Sperryville photographer who will display her unusual color photographs; Laurie Marshall, a Washing ton artist wnose worn tanes many forms but who. will bring her landscape paintings for the Sperryville showing; Jeanne Drevas, whose work in several media has been shown at the Smithsonian; Robin Purnell whose paintings and drawings win praise wherever they’re shown; and Thomas Spande, weekend Sperryville resident who has been pleasing his local fans for years.

Day realtor HOW TO MAKE A OFFER If someone is selling their house, asking, for example, $100,000, and you would pay no more than, say, $80,000 for it, how should you make an offer? By phone? In a face-to-face conversation? The best way to make your offer is to have your Realtor present it in writing, setting out the specific conditions of your offer, such as how long the offer will remain open, the deadline for delivery of the deed and possession of the house, and making the offer subject to your obtaining suitable financing. There could be any number of other conditions which you might need to include. The written offer, signed by you, should then be delivered to the seller. A place for the seller to sign his acceptance should also be provided. If he accepts by signing, the written document has then become a legally binding contract, and the seller is obligated to sell for the price and upon the conditions contained in the written offer. Your real estate professional handles purchase offers every day. He or she can help you make or accept an offer in the best fashion.

V_ _;_ J Board endorses detention alternative for youngsters By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock youngsters in trouble with the law now have an option to detention in the juvenile lockups in Fredericksburg and Prince William County' At the request of juvenile probation officer Bev Robson, the Board of Supervisors last week endorsed an outreach program which will provide counseling at home as an alternative to incarceration in a detention center. Under the program - which is primarily state and federally funded - a counselor will come to Rappahannock and work with the children here, either in their homes, at school or in some other convenient location. The outreach program won’t replace detention in every juvenile case. “This won’t work for all kids,” Mrs. Robson said, estimating that four county youngsters a year may be served. Most often, children recommended by the court or the probation officer for the outreach program will be awaiting a court date, she told the supervisors. Others accepted into the counseling alternative may be “children in need of services” -- the designation given to run-aways, truants and other young people with behavioral problems whose actions wouldn’t be considered crimes if they were adults. Obviously, a juvenile accused of murder or another serious offense would not be considered for this outreach program, noted Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. “We have the choice of offering this,” Mrs. Robson affirmed. “If we don’t think it’s suitable, the child would be detained.” Currently, it costs the county about $50 a day to incarcerate a young person in the juvenile detention facilities in Prince William County or Fredericksburg, according to Mrs. Robson. That figure doesn’t include the time and expense of transportation by police, she noted. With a federal and state block grant covering most of the outreach program, the counseling service will cost the county just $5 per visit, the probation officer told the supervisors. The counselor assigned to Rappahannock and Fauquier will see each child four or five times per week, including Saturday or Sunday. Federal regulations governing the outreach program preclude more than two days elapsing without a child being counseled, she added. The average length of participation in the program is estimated at one week. “So in the long run, you’ll save considerably,” Mrs. Robson pointed out to the supervisors. Originally, this pilot program was funded only for Prince William County, the probation officer noted. “I’m just glad it’s being offered to us . . . Nobody likes to see a child locked up if there’s an alternative.” “We have lots of kids who fall into gray areas. We don’t know what to do with them,” added the Commonwealth’s Attorney, supporting the outreach alternative. The board voted unanimously to endorse the program for a one year trial period. Welfare Board reappointed Left without liability coverage last month, Rappahannock’s Welfare Board members resigned, leaving Social Services Director Sylvia Kreitler to serve alone as the board. Last week, with coverage secured and a promise by the county supervisors to pay the $5,000 deductible, should they be sued in the performance of their lawful duties, the board members accepted reappointment. Named again to the Welfare Board last Monday were Mida Cannon, Thomas Williams, Jr. and Julia Boddie. AS LOW AS 2.4% APR AVAIL. FOR 24 MONTHS Colt E 3-Door Hatchback SALES DEPT.

The Best of Rappahannock Rappahannock County has been an inspiration to musicians for many years, and its small population includes a surprising number of talented ones. On Saturday, September 27, Gay Street Theater will be the scene of a long awaited event, when several of Rappahannock’s own will perform an evening of music for the delight of local patrons, sponsored by The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). The Best • of Rappahannock will begin at 8 p. m. and will also offer special food to be sampled before the performance and during intermission. Lorraine Duisit of Trapezoid and Teacher/Composer Tom Espinola will perform their original music for harp, mandolin, mandocello, guitar and percussion. Their unique sound draws from the music of North and South America, Europe and Portugal, and has been featured on the National Public Radio program, Voices from the Mountains. Lorraine and Tom have lived in Rappahannock since 1985. Charlie Tompkins is well known to local traditional, music fans. His perfect tenor is well-suited for both the ballads and the faster paced bluegrass numbers that he will perform, backed up by some very talented friends on traditional country instruments. Charlie is a long time resident of the county and an active member of RAAC. Vincent Day and Terry Waggener have performed together for many years as well as appearing with other musicians active on the local music scene. Vincent’s haunting vocals backed by Terry’s expert accompaniment have long been RapDahannock crowd-pleasers. This promises to be a memorable evening for all those who attend - pleasing to the ear and palate, and well worth the drive. Tickets are available at the door, for $4, $5 and $6.

After more than three decades counseling people with marriage and family problems— and being married 30 years—I have some observations if not conclusions. If you mean by GOOD MARRIAGES and FAMILIES that there are no cross words, disagreements, and verbal fights; no, I don't know of any If you mean families in which there are no misgivings (at times) about having married each other, about having had children, or wanting to run from it all; no, I know of none. If you mean families in which the mates and children have never wanted to change each other, make each other over, and felt at times like hurting one another; no, I know of no good marriages and families But if you mean by GOOD FAMILIES that there are creative tensions, heartaches that bring them closer, disagreements that are realistically dealt with: yes, I know of many. If you mean by GOOD FAMILIES those who are pulling together in the same direction without losing individuality, and willing to allow each other to develop their own special gifts even though risks are involved; yes, I know of many.

Urgent appeal for donors The American Red Cross Blood Services, Washington Region, announced an urgent appeal for blood donors. As a result of a serious shortfall in blood supplies some elective surgery is being postponed or cancelled by a number of area hospitals. According to Fred W. Darr, M.D., Medical Director for Blood Services; “The continuous decline in community blood supplies in recent weeks has precipitated this situation.” All blood types are needed, especially types B and 0. Less than a one day inventory is available on Red Cross shelves for those types. Ideally, a five day supply is desired in all blood types. “We need immediate and sustained support of the public over the next several weeks to prevent the kinds of crisis that could impair the treatment of emergency cases,” noted Dr. Darr.

Sport Evaluations approved for athletic staff By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School athletic director John Toth and the high school coaching staff will now be evaluated on the basis of something other than a winning sports season. At last Tuesday's meeting, the School Board adopted an evaluation form and procedure presented by Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “Certainly it is appropriate for our coaches and the athletic director to be evaluated just as we do our teachers -- all of our employees,” said Mr. Estabrook. The forms, which are to be filled out within a week of the end of the sport’s season for coaches and at the end of the year for the athletic director, grade both professional and personal qualities. Ratings are given on a scale of one to 100 for character, personal habits, cooperative relationships, appearance, health, enthusiasm and communication for both the coaches and their supervisor. For the coaches, the list under professional qualities covers motivational aspects as well as administrative and supervisory duties, discipline and knowledge of the sport. For the athletic director, the 29 professional qualities to be graded include scheduling and organizing athletic events, meetings and recognition programs, arranging transportation, administering high school athletic department funds, •supervising^ care of supplies and equipment, fostering good schoolcommunity relations and supervising compliance with eligibility requirements. Although they unanimously endorsed the evaluation program, the School Board members expressed reservations. “This stems from the public airing of grievances against the coaches,” noted Bill Oliver. “And it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on” as a public relations strategy to build confidence in the high school athletic staff, he maintained. “Because if he’s winning, he’s the greatest coach we’ve ever had, and if he’s losing, he’s a big SOB.... If he’s losing, the public’s perception is that he’s a lousy coach (no matter what the evaluation rating). It may not be his fault, but that’s the way the game is played.” But no matter whether the coach has a winning or losing season, the evaluation program will enable the School Board to say: “This is what we expect. If you don’t care to live I up to it, we need to have a talk or you need to go elsewhere,” Mr. Estabrook countered. “There’s nothing wrong with evaluating our coaches but it won’t do anything to solve the public relations problem we got into last spring,” Mr. Oliver replied. “What kind of feedback are we going to be giving these coaches before the end of the season (when the evaluation forms are completed)?” asked Nancy Reeve. Frequency and timing of evaluation visits to practice sessions have not been set, the superintendent answered. “We don’t need a lot of folks running about while a team is practicing. It can cause real problems,” he said. But evaluations will begin early enough so that problem areas can be brought to the coach’s attention - “in either written or verbal form” — while the season is underway, Mr. Estabrook assured the School Board. “Underlying anything like this is a basic philosophy. The forms are ratings, but their primary purpose is for improvement - to help people to improve.” Mr. Estabrook reminded the School Board members that they too had heard the “comments and concerns .. . the criticism last spring by some in rather clipped, straight form.” (Reportedly, these criticisms were voiced by both individuals and groups at meetings with School Board members and administrators at the high school and in the school board office.) “I don’t agree with all the criticisms, but I do think an evaluation is appropriate,” said the superintendent, as the board voted unanimously to begin the program this year. “However, I don’t want to be heard saying that we have big problems in our coaching ranks. I don’t think we do have big problems in our coaching ranks,” Mr. Estabrook emphasized. In other action at last week’s meeting, the School Board: • received copies of the schedule of gifted and talented enrichment programs for this year, a special education handbook for teachers detailing regulations and procedures for placement and the Standards of Learning language arts curriculum guide which sets out the minimum learning expectations for grades kindergarten through 12th. • agreed to hold driver education fees at $25. • approved a new form and fee schedule for use of school buildings. • accepted the offer to be school nurse from Frances Thornton, whom Superintendent Fstabrook described as “solid gold.” "ilu!*"! lit Virginia State ferks SOVars And Still Growing Roger Flinchum for the Rappahannock News RCHS CROSS-COUNTRY TEAMS: Front row (1. to r.): Annette Mueller, Bonnie Grimsley, Amy Bartlett, Denice Eitson, Kathy Dodson.

Panthers triumph in first meet After an extremely demanding scrimmage Monday against Culpeper, the Rappahannock High School cross country team found itself burdened with tired, heavy legs in its first regular-season meet against Luray and Page High Schools at Luray. Luray’s harriers were in command during the first mile of the 2.7 mile race, but then the Rappahannock runners began to pick up the pace - and pick off the opposition. Coming off the most difficult hill on the course Marley Hay had gained the lead. Panther teammates Neil Burke, Jonathan Watson, John Dodson and Dan Herman were also making their moves. Hay maintained his lead for the rest of the run. His winning time (16:25) was, however, almost two minutes off the course record of 14:31. He was followed in third place by Burke (17:26), Watson (17.38) in fifth, Dodson (18:07) in seventh place and Herman (18:16) right behind him in eight. Rodney Grimsley (19:22) placed 13th overall, followed by Tony Clark (19:27), who, despite turning an ankle in the race hung on to finish 14th. Team tallies showed Rappahannock beating Luray by nine points (24 to 33) and burying Page County, which finished in third place with a score of 74. Girls on top also The girls’ race began with Rappahannock’s team in much the same situation as their male teammates, with the striders from Page and Luray jumping out to an early lead in the first mile. But then came the hills, and Panthers Bonnie Grimsley, Denice Eidson and Kathy Dodson dominated the pace and breezed past their Valley rivals to finish one, two, three in the standings. Annette Mueller also showed good form and moved up in the rankings to finish sixth. Amy Bartlett finished tenth overall to boost the Rappahannock girls to a first place team finish. E. M. Invitational / The Eastern Mennonite Invitational was a successful trip for individual runners — Marley Hay and Jonathan Watson placed in the top one-third of the runners. Neil Burke and Dan Herman also placed within the middle of the pack. In the girls’ race Bonnie Grimsley and Kathy Dodson led the Rappahannock team. Matthew Eitson was the first of the Panthers’ Junior Varsity runner to cross the finish line. Rappahannock’s harriers found the major hill at E. M. H. S. easy in comparison to the home course near Sperryville, Coach Ann Spieker reported. She invited the public to “come out and cheer the home team when they run at home on Sept. 24 at 5 p.m.” The course is located across Rt. 211 from the Old Hollow Grocery.

School Dance set at CCLC By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer In a cabin by the Shenandoah River, Betty Kerr lives a simple life, teaching a variety of far-flung classes to rural children and adults from Warren and Rappahannock County. She’s studied in New York and San Francisco and worked with masters as famous as Martha Graham and Alwin Nicolaif and as exotic as the South Indian temple Devadasi. Ms. Kerr’s choice of a place to live was made partly by desire, partly family obligations. But she hasn’t regretted it. “Of course, I sometimes miss the cultural opportunities of the city," she said. “But not enough that I want to live there. I’ve managed to meet and work with people interested in dance. And I love rural life.” Ms. Kerr begins this week with classes at the Child Care and Learning Center near Washington, teaching classes every Thursday for preschool, school age and older schoolage children. Teaching comes as naturally to the soft-spoken dancer as does dancing. And she feels that dance is something that should be natural for everyone. “Dance is something that children should love. It should take advantage of their spontaneity. Walking, running, rolling, jumping: these are all movements that children should come to think of as dance. Instead, they’re taught that only some people can dance, that it’s a discipline that requires artificial movements. That’s such a shame, since it should provide a welcome relief to all those endless hours that children spend seated at a desk, not permitted to move.” A very restrained and stylized idea of dance, said Ms. Kerr, ties in with other Western notions about this ancient art form. “Other cultures use dance in religious observances,” she said. . In fact, said Ms. Kerr, dance has carried the shading of a slight decadence, except in the very formal and rigorous training of ballet. “So much of Western religion ( consider^ physical expression an 'evil,0 she"said. “Just the reverse is true in Eastern cultures, where dancing is done as part of a religious ritual.” This conflict was made very evident to Ms. Kerr when she learned some of the history of South Indian dance. Her teacher in San Francisco was the descendant of one of the Devadasi caste, the women who maintained the temple and danced at the religious ceremonies. The proper British outlawed the Devadasis, thinking them erotic rather than devout. Ms. Kerr was fascinated by the dance the British outlawed. “The dancers do most of their performance in a plie position,” she said. “Like a lot of religious dances, the emphasis is on rhythymic precision and the footwork follows the rhythym. The arms, the upper torso, the faces and hands tell a story. To help with the story, there are symbolic gestures that everyone understands.” Her interest in this kind of religious dance led her to another kind. She studied some of the ritual dances of the Ypik Eskimoes. “I’ve learned one of their hunting dances, and one called the Mother of the Mukluk Seals,” she said. With the Eskimo dances, she became interested in masks and she has an intriguing collection of masks she has made or collected lor ritual dances. Even the most bizarre of them is not forbidding. Ms. Kerr says that the notion of an evil symbol is quite foreign to eastern cultures. “Most ancient religions believe that people have both good and evil within them,” she explained. “So a traditional dance character may be evil in one respect, good in another, like fire, or water, or the polar bear, or whatever.” A regional dance form that interests Ms. Kerr is the square dance. “It has many of the elements of a community dance. Some of the steps may also originally have had symbolic meanings in their Celtic beginning. Ms. Kerr plans to have some of the children she teaches at the Child Care and Learning Center design and make their own masks to wear in a dance. “It’s a good balance for them to do both this close detailed work, and this bolder more expansive work." she said. Her belief in the value of free and vigorous expression does not exclude an appreciation of classical discipline and a need for structure in teaching. “In my classes I try to provide a structure corresponding to the age of the child. With young children, a lot of structure is needed. But that doesn’t prevent them from having fun. And I have fun too. I love working with kids." f _ Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News SUMMER ANDERSON INVITED her grandfather Robert Harris to have lunch with her to celebrate Grandparents Day at RCES last week. Grandparents have day at RCES By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Guess who came to lunch? No, not Sidney Poitier. Grandparents! The Rappahannock County Elementary School recognized grandparents by inviting them to join their grandchildren for lunch on Tuesday, September 9. Cafeteria coordinator Judy Burke explained how the idea came about. “We’ve been celebrating Grandparents Day in our family a long time. We put flowers in the church for the grandparents and my children give their grandparents flowers,” she said. Pat Jenkins, cafeteria manager, consulted with Mrs. Burke in early August when the menus were being planned for the first month of school. They decided to start out with Grandparents Day in September to complement National Lunch Week in October when parents are invited to eat lunch with their children. The grandparents who attended were very happy to have the opportunity to be involved with their grandchild’s school. “It’s great! It shows the kids appreciate their grandparents. My granddaughter, Johanna, has been talking about it and reminding me about it ever since she brought the paper home telling about it,” said Mrs. Elizabeth Tole. Mrs. Katherine Wayland was as enthusiastic as Mrs. Tole. “I just think it’s wonderful! It makes the kids feel that their grandparents, as well as their parents, are behind them. It meant a whole lot to my grand daughter, Sarah. It’s the first opportunity I’ve had to visit her in any of her school classes, too.” Eighty-eight grandmas, grandpas, senior citizen friends, or favorite aunts (substitute grandmothers) were guided through the lunch line, instructed how to get their drink and silverware and where to sit by their grandchildren. A very special feeling was in the cafeteria as proud grandparents took pictures, talked to friends of their grandchildren and enjoyed eating fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, and fruit salad together. When the children were asked why they invited their grandparents many had the same answer, “Because I love them.” Wakefield opens for fall term In a formal ceremony featuring prayers, anthems, and a procession of flags and faculty, Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly opened the 1986-87 session, the 14th in the school’s history. Headmaster William Lynn, in remarks made to the assembled student body, the largest in the school’s history (including 75 new students), called Wakefield a “regional school,” serving the entire area of rural Northern Virginia. Attending the assembly were students from ten counties of Northern Virginia as well as from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, several other states, and from six foreign countries. According to Mr. Lynn, the average Wakefield student travels more than 50 miles a day to and from school. The school currently operates bus service to Charles Town, W.Va., Berryville, Winchester, Woodstock, Luray, Warrenton, Manassas, Orlean, Front Royal and Culpeper. A new bus line to the Middleburg-Upperville area has just been opened this year. Introduced to the assembly were new students from Japan, Ghana, Haiti, Mexico, Spain and England. Also introduced at the opening ceremonies were five new faculty members: Mrs. Auriel Rundle, a native of County Durham, England, is the new fifth grade teacher. A former teacher and headmistress of St. Mary’s Hall in Minnesota, Mrs. Rundle was later headmistress of St. Mark’s Elementary School in Jacksonville, Florida. Mrs. Rundle holds degrees from the University of Durham in England and has had 30 years of teaching experience. Dr. Robert Schleck will teach Modem European History, Economics, Logic, and Debate. Dr. Schleck holds degrees from Princeton, Columbia, and New York University. For several years he was with the Department of State, serving in various foreign posts, including Tel Aviv and Eastern Europe. More recently Dr. Schleck has been a lecturer at the Catholic University in Washington. Tony Wilson has joined Wakefield’s mathematics faculty. A MA graduate of James Madison University, Mr. Wilson has been a math instructor at the Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock for the past ten years. Richard Fair is Wakefield’s new Physical Education Director. Mr. Fair holds a MA Degree in Physical Education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mr. Fair has taught physical education in several public schools of North Carolina, and has more recently been the manager of a physical fitness club in Raleigh. Gary Genther of Sperryville will teach Art at Wakefield. Mr. Genther received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Kurtztown University in Pennsylvania. Mr. Genther specializes in watercolors and egg tempera, and has shown his work in several galleries on the East Coast. Wakefield’s opening ceremonies concluded with the presentation of special awards to the school’s recently named National Merit Semifinalists for 1986: Sean Bennett, Stephen Butler, Lisa Larimer, and HankSohn. Wakefield news brief Wakefield’s student literary magazine Talisman has just been named a First-Place Award winner for its 1985-86 edition by the Columbia University School in Journalism. In reviewing the magazine, the judges praised students for their creativity and strength in poetry. “Your students,” the judges said, “have mastered the art of writing.” Wakefield won its opening soccer match in Charlottesville on Saturday, defeating Charlottesville High School by a score of 6-4 in an invitational tournament hosted by St. Ann’s-Belfield School.

Enrollment down; facilities improved in county schools Nine hundred and 22 children were at their desks when Rappahannock’s public schools opened this year, according to an enrollment report from Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “We have 550 at the elementary school and 372 at the high school,” he announced at last Tuesday’s School Board meeting, adding that 11 additional children at RCES and eight additional at RCHS are still expected to report. Their enrollment will bring the total to seven below the 948 projected for budget purposes, he said, noting that the shortfall in enrollment will mean a shortfall in state payments for education. “But I do not see that as a budget problem,” he assured the School Board. Chairman Beverly Massie reported that high school principal Robert Chappell is writing to students who have not yet returned, stressing that they are both expected and wanted back at RCHS. While the numbers at the schools were disappointing, the schools themselves were not. “I’ve never seen the buildings in better condition for the first day of school,” Mrs. Massie said, complimenting the efforts of both custodial staffs. She also handed out praise to the RCES and RCHS administrators for coordinating a smoothly running opening day. “This year, the math department at the high school seems stronger. I hope this will be the start of good years. I hope to see some real im provement in math,” the School Board’s chairman added. Paul Nichols and Nancy Reeve echoed Mrs. Massie’s compliments on the condition of the school buildings. “It’s the result of a lot of hard work,” Mrs. Reeve said. “I heard more good comments from the students about the new lockers,” added Mr. Nichols. In a brief transportation report, Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell noted that all students will be given assigned bus seats this year in an effort to improve bus safety. The new requirement will give bus drivers better control and enable them to tell quickly if a student is missing, Mr. Campbell noted. Also on the subject of bus safety, the board agreed to write the county’s representatives on the State Highway Commission and in the General Assembly, stressing their objections to the increased truck traffic through Rappahannock County brought by the closing of Route 17 in Fauquier to trucks. The board also decided to pursue the possibility of (1) posting notices at nearby truck stops of the times when school buses are on the roads, (2) erecting signs on Chester Gap mountain warning of school bus traffic and (3) erecting signs marking school bus stops on Route 211 and Route 522. At Mr. Oliver’s request, the board will also seek to have the speed limit reduced on Chester Gap mountain during the hours that school buses are on the road.

Rappahannock • • KT J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Drought may affect plans for canning The drought that is attecting much of Virginia is reducing both quantity and quality of home vegetable garden harvests. That, in turn, may change the plans of home food preservers. Home food preservers should refigure their cost in time, materials and labor compared to purchasing vegetables through the winter, said Jo Anne Barton, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition. “This might be one of the years to enjoy fresh vegetables out of the garden and not be concerned about preserving for later in the year,” said the member of the faculty in Virginia Tech’s College of Human Resources. tor example, green Deans, may not be as tender and crisp, nor as large. With quantity being reduced, there might not be enough produce maturing at the same time to make a batch. The temptation would be to save the harvest of several days to accumulate enough to make a batch. The result could be over — and under — mature produce being preserved, and preserving will not improve quality. Ms. Barton cautioned food preservers to follow canning methods recommended bv the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Check with the local Virginia Cooperative Extension agent to be sure the correct procedures are being used, she said. i % Wheel Horse FALL CLEAN-UP Tractor Mowers & Leaf Equipment Baggers GET POWER, RELIABILITY, AND VERSATILITY AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE Pull Type Sweeper (Turf Groom Sweeper) i'i Heavy Duty Vx Sweeper ONLY s28935 GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT WITH THE POWER AND RELIABILITY ONLY A WHEEL HORSE C£N GIVE 300 Series Tractor with Bagger For Leaves 300 Scrips optional, worksaving attachments include rear and side discharge and front mount mowers, bagger, snow thrower, blade, tiller, plow, and more Ask your dealer! , (Bagger not shown) HORSE POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT. ..

The winning bidder will be required to sign a contract with the County of Rappahannock. John W. McCarthy Administrative Assistant to the Board of Supervisors Rappahannock County Virginia economy strong While the national economy is taking the low road, Virginia continues on the high road, with growth in several economic indicators, according to the latest Virginia Business Report, published by the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary. Building permits achieved a 21.1 percent increase in July, following large gains in May and June, according to Roy L. Pearson, director of the bureau and editor of the monthly report. “While other states may be suffering from overconstruction, Virginia’s data indicate that our builders are hard-pressed to keep up with the demand,” he says. “Our planned construction includes a substantial amount of nonresidential building, which has declined nationally.” While the state has experienced a boost in retail sales, Pearson notes that the gains have come from several sources. “Virginia households are spending more on nondurable goods and services, but are also buying durable goods for new houses,” he says. Tourists are spending more per person than last year, but the number of tourists is not up strongly or uniformly around the state. “Much of the state’s retail sales growth has come from businesses buying building supplies and office and commercial equipment,” he notes. Retail sales growth, Pearson adds, is not limited to areas with high job growth or major tourist attractions. In consumer purchases, the number of new car registrations was the only indicator for which nearly all cities experiences significant growth. Every urban area except Lynchburg recorded double-digit growth in new car purchases for July. With an 8.2 percent year-overyear increase, Pearson says Virginians “did go on a car-buying spree in July.” Although there has been no negative impact so far, nonagricultural employment growth in Virginia has continued at a slower pace during 1986 than in 1985, says Pearson. “Nonagricultural employment growth has been declining each month since January, and that will dampen consumer demand growth if the pattern continues,” he says. Bank debits, a general indicator of total spending by households, businesses and governments, were up 33.1 percent, “a full one-third over the July 1985 level, and one more sign that Virginia’s high growth comes from many sources,” says Pearson. Given past economic patterns and overall national performance, Pearson predicts that Virginians may expect a slow-down in the state’s growth before the end of the year. Recent growth, however, suggests the deceleration is likely to be mild, “not an abrupt drop across the board in the growth rates for our indicators.” Other indicators showing increases over July 1985 were: electricity consumption, up 19.6 percent; newspaper advertising linage, up 11.4 percent and water consumption-, up 16 percent. Silo gas a real danger Virginia fanners face a potential harvest hazard as they attempt to salvage drought-stunted crops this fall, warn Extension specialists at Virginia Tech. “This is a year that farmers should be particularly sensitive to the formation of dangerous silo gas,” said Glen H. Hetzel, Extension farm safety specialist.. Silo gas is a common occurrence in com silage fermentation. However, environmental extremes, such as drought, increase the likelihood that higher-than-normal amounts of the toxic gas will be produced during the fermentation process. “Nitrogen dioxide is the predominant gas in silo gas,” Hetzel explained. “It can form within two hours after corn is placed in an upright silo and may last for a period of two or three weeks. ” Depending on the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, the presence of the gas will be recognized by a burning sensation in the nose, throat and chest. When inhaled, the gas can cause extensive lung damage. Exposure to heavy concentrations can result in deaths within seconds. “Silo gas poisoning tends to produce a false sense of well-being or euphoria and initial exposures often do not alert a farmer to the presence of the gas,” said Hetzel. “Even slight throat irritation or coughing may signal the presence of lethal gas.” Silo gas may also be visible as a yellowish-brown gas with an odor similar to laundry bleach. Nitrogen dioxide is heavier than air and will tend to settle on top of the silage, which is often stained or discolored as a result of the gas formation. If an escape route is provided, such as an open silo door, the gas will flow down the silo chute to the base of the silo. If unobstructed, it often will settle in silo feed rooms and/or invade bam areas. To reduce the hazards associated with silo gas, Hetzel recommends the following precautions: • Do not enter a silo during the first three or four days after filling unless the silo has been well-ventilated first. Run a blower at least 20 minutes before entering a silo. This precaution should be used regardless of the length of time the silage has been stored. • The silo chute door closest to the level of the silage should be open. This allows the nitrogen dioxide to escape when the blower is turned on. Silo feed rooms should be ventilated by the use of open windows and fans for a period of three weeks after filling the silo. • Keep doors between the silo or feed room tightly sealed to avoid contamination of bam areas. • Do not enter a silo without someone available on the outside to assist you. • Be on the alert for bleach-like odors and/or yellowish-brown fumes. Dead birds and dead flies at the base of the silo and under enclosed chutes often indicate the presence of silo gas. • If it’s compulsory to enter a silo during the three-week danger period, wear an approved self-contained breathing apparatus and attach a life-line to soifteone outside the silo. For more information on silo gas and silo safety, contact your local Extension agent. Assistance to repasture Local farmers who have suffered damage to permanent pasture and hayland as a result of drought may be eligible for assistance in reseeding, including applying needed lime and fertilizer. A special cost-share program has been approved through the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASCS), according to Linda Henry, county executive director of the Warren and Rappahannock county offices. Requests and soil samples must be submitted to the local ASCS offices by September 12 in order to be considered. Another form of drought assistance, Ms. Henry said, is through the Emergency Feed Program which has been authorized for producers who have suffered at least 40 percent loss in their normal feed production. The program provides for cost-sharing one-half the cost of the feed purchased (not to exceed five cents per pound of feed grain equivalent). Feed purchases for assistance are limited to the amount of feed needed to feed eligible livestock until the next feed supply becomes available. •Eligible livestock includes cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and working horses and mules owned six months or longer. Exceptions to the six months ownership may be made for offspring of eligible livestock and for purchased feeder animals to the extent that feeding purchased animals has been a normal practice at least four of the last five years. The ASCS official pointed out that when applying, the applicant must have an accurate inventory of his livestock and all feed supplies. Applications may be filed at any time when feed supplies are found to be insufficient, but all applications must be filed no later than December 31, 1986.

No Phone Calls Allen Key, or Sonny Wright 9 East Market St., Leesburg, VA 22075 / I Quarry Continued from page 3 an industrial zone, which would mean public hearings by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, and then additional public hearings by the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals to act on the permit. Under the revised ordinance soon to be enacted, the quarry will be designated agricultural, and in an agricultural zone, landfills will be allowed by special exception permit following public hearings by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, he said, pointing out the local zoning hurdles which would have to be cleared. No matter what the decision on the landfill permit, “we owe it to ourselves and our people to determine if this site still has dynamite,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “My recommendation is that we tell the state we don’t want this site approved as a landfill ... I don’t see how we can afford to take the chance.” And it wasn’t just the dynamite that worried the supervisors. “According to Mr. Bennett, there’s a free flowing stream arising in that quarry,” said Newbill Miller, voicing concern over the potential for ground water pollution. Supervisor J. R. Latham pointed to the safety hazard posed by increased truck traffic on Route 647, a winding road with limited sight distance. Water in contact with brush and stumps buried in a debris landfill could generate tannic acid and contaminate ground water supplies, noted Supervisor Charles Estes. “With all the blasting at the quarry, there are bound to be fractures in that rock.” Voting unanimously to request that the state deny Mr. List’s application, the supervisors agreed to forward their reasons with the recommendation. A score or so Flint Hill residents turned out for Monday’s special board session. At the start, Chairman Gilkey noted that it was not a continuation of a public hearing but “a meeting for us to make our decision.” His announcement prompted a few muttering8 from the crowd. But 15 minutes later, when the vote was taken, the watchers were all smiles. “Your representative government at work!” one visibly pleased Flint Hill man declared in a benediction on the board’s action. I WSA Continued from page 3 tions for Thursday, October 23, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Sperryville’s VFW hall. Further information on rate relief will be included with the first sewer bills to go out in early October. Engineer Hank Gerhardt reported 158 of the individual septic tanks now in the ground and only seven more to install. Of those in the service district, only Alison Atkins still refuses to sign the required user agreement, the engineer reported. He suggested that the WSA “park ‘that (septic) tank at the sewage treatment plant and that’s it!” (With a malfunctioning septic system, failure to connect to the sewage system will result in the Health Department’s declaring a residence uninhabitable.) WSA Attorney Douglas Baumgardner is already pursuing a course of action with Mr. Atkins, Chairman Woodard noted, calling for the matter to be discussed further in executive session. The Authority also took up Perry Engineering’s request for a contract extension in executive session. Earlier in the meeting, Mr. Gerhardt certified that Perry Engineering had completed work on the sewage treatment plant. Under terms of the company’s contract with the WSA, completion was to have come on October 12, 1985. An earlier change order approved by the WSA extended the deadline to December 16. In accordance with penalties specified in the contract, the Authority has withheld “liquidated damages” for failure to meet the completion date. That figure now stands at $25,500 and covers damages through February 5. (The per day assessment is $500.) Perry Engineering takes the position that the WSA has not been damaged since the rest of the sewer system was not functional at the deadline for completion of the treatment plant’s construction. The engineering company has asked for a change order which would extend the completion deadline by an additional 61 days. If the WSA approved the change order, it would result in the refund of the $25,500 withheld to date and no further assessment of damages past February 5. “The Authority has difficulty in granting a change order if there’s not a reason for it other than the work just wasn’t done,” Mr. Woodard noted. With federal and state grant money involved, “there does have to be a basis for a change order (permitting a later completion date),” Mr. Baumgardner agreed. “What was the date of substantial completion (of Perry Engineering’s work on the sewage treatment plant)? That’s what the Authority must determine.” Mr. Baumgardner later reported that no action was taken on the change order request during the WSA’s executive session last Thursday. I History Continued from page 1 • January 1983 — Mr. Estabrook presents an RCHS capital outlay proposal that calls for a new pre-fab gym, science classrooms, storage facilities, with the old gym to be remodeled into a library, storage and cafeteria space with additional second story classrooms. He estimates construction costs at $500,000 to $750,000. The superintendent notes that 96 percent of the high school’s classrooms are now used every period of every day; the only rooms not in continuous use are two specialty rooms (the building trades shop and classroom). • February 1983 — Virginia Governor declares moratorium on Literary Loan funds for school construction; School Board tables action on capital outlay. • April 1983 — School Board approves inclusion of $21,000 for architectural fees in 1983-84 budget with building program slated to begin in 1984. • May 1983 — Supervisors cut capital outlay funds from school budget, leaving just $2,000 for cost esti mates on RCHS expansion proposal. • January 1984 — School Board selects architect. • March 1984 — $750,000 RCHS expansion and remodeling project presented to supervisors. Proposed construction includes pre-fab gym, expanded library and cafeteria, bathroom facilities, guidance offices, two science classrooms and seven additional classrooms. Change of pre-fab gym for brick and mortar construction ups total to $1,303,777. • May 1984 — Supervisors authorize School Board to apply for Literary Loan. New figure with brick and mortar gym is $1,509,079. • April 1985 — Preliminary drawings presented at joint meeting of School Board and supervisors. • October 1985 — RCHS expulsion project approved for Literary Loan by State Board of Education at $1,240,263 and placed on waiting list for funding. • May 1986 — Supervisors balk iat including expected Literary Loan qn revenue side of 1986-87 school budget, a move that will require the public hearing process on the high school expansion to be repeated. ^ ss COPY SERVICE AVAILABLE Copies while you wait tEfje Eappafjannocfe Jietos Main Street Washington 703 675-3338

Lozano Continued from page 1 lem, he said. If the Lozanos’ subdivision is not validated, those lots will also have to be disapproved, the attorney maintained. “We’ve heard three different legal opinions. I don’t know exactly what’s the best thing for the county to do,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. “I don’t think there’s any right answer,” agreed Supervisor Nelson Lane. “I don’t think I’m entitled to amend the zoning ordinance for the convenience of the moment,” he said, questioning whether it would be proper to allow a less than 25 acre lot on a 30-foot right-of-way. But on the other hand, he added, the Lozanos’ two lots may be entitled to approval as lots of record. “You’re not being ■ asked to amend the subdivision ordinance,” explained Mr. Luke. He noted that the ordinance’s provision for granting exceptions is built in as “an escape hatch” for just that reason. But that escape hatch is not necessarily available just because “our agent made an illegal subdivision,” Supervisor Lane said. “You have to make some interpretations," the Commonwealth’s Attorney replied. “It’s not their hardship — it’s our hardship, the county’s," said Mr. Lane. “Also, keep in mind that this is not by any means the only situation (in which a subdivision has been erroneously authorized),” Mr. filler noted. “So we’re not talking about just this case. It’s a policy we’re talking about,” Supervisor Lane affirmed. With a suit threatened no matter what the decision, Mr. Miller asked if the board could discuss the issue in executive session. “This property is already involved in one lawsuit, so an executive session would be appropriate,” the Commonwealth’s Attorney advised. If the board is going to allow the Lozanos a subdivided lot of less than 25 acres on a 30-foot right-of-way, there are other landowners in the Council Continued from page 1 to submit a plan (under a provision of the law designed to correct violations).” “There seem to be two intents here,” Mr. Thomasson continued. “To go into business for a long time, and to get the sign up while he can. This particular business is compatible with the spirit of the comprehensive plan. ” Mrs. Willis noted that “the ARB acts only on the sign itself — the dimensions and design,” apparently alluding to the fact that the council might have to decide whether Mr. Foster’s woodworking business would be an allowed use under the new zoning ordinances. “I wanted to put the matter before the council.” Mayor Morehouse, addressing only the question of the sign, said that “it’s a legal decision to consider — because of the timing of the application — whether it should be under the old or the new ordinance.” Mary Jenkins complained to the council that she had received a bill for $300 for installation of a new water meter and service at her office property on Main Street. Miss Jenkins said that she was never notified that there would be a charge for the installation. Mayor Morehouse replied that the Water Authority had indeed erred in not notifying her in advance of the charge — but that the Authority had also erred in her billing. “The actual tap fee is $1,500, and you pay for labor and materials. We just inspect the installation.” He agreed that it would be a good practice in the future to obtain written authorization from the property 1 owner before any work is done. Mr. Fisher told Miss Jenkins that because of the situation there would be no interest accumulated on the charge. He explained that the $300 could" be paid off over an unspecified period of time, “perhaps pro-rated into the rental fee for the office space.” He agreed that the Authority was responsi■ ble for .fixing the meter box, which Miss Jenkins complained was sitting so far above the ground that it was being run over by car tires. In other action, the council: • Authorized Mr. Fisher to spend up to $1,500 to purchase a word processor to be used for town business. • Requested that each member submit a written list of needed projects, and solicit input on the ideas from residents. • Suggested that a tentative agenda for each council meeting be published the week before the meeting to encourage citizen participation. • Agreed to a request from Mrs. Willis that the possibility of obtaining liability insurance for council members be explored. • Approved a request from the ARB to purchase several reference books on architecture and renovation to be donated to the county library.

As a policy matter involving a fundamental change in Rappahannock’s zoning regulations, he asked that the deliberations be conducted in public. The Supervisors declined. Returning to open session almost two hours later, they voted unanimously to grant the exceptions sought by the Lozanos on the grounds that (1) an unnecessary hardship would en-* sue if the subdivision ordinance is strictly adhered to and (2) approval would cause no damage to the intent of the ordinance. In other zoning matters, the board: • agreed to ask the Planning Commission to begin review and revision of Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance. • postponed action on a subdivision ordinance amendment that would direct appeals of the ordinance’s provisions to the Board of Supervisors rather than to the Circuit Court. • authorized the zoning administrator to have copies of the revised zoning ordinance run off for a final review before the document is printed. • approved raising the special exception and variance application fees from $40 to $70 to cover the increased cost of legal advertisement.

Cannon (703) 937-4900 James M. Cannon (703) 937-4700 ‘Fact finding’ on permit deferred By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Calling it “a fact finding situation,” the Board of Zoning Appeals deferred action on a recommendation from Zoning Administrator John McCarthy that a special use permit for migrant worker housing be revoked. Only three members of the BZA were present at last Wednesday’s meeting, prompting James Swindler to suggest the postponement until the BZA’s next session on September 24. At issue is a permit for temporary migrant worker housing issued in August, 1984, to George and Sally Sharp for their 225 acre Mountain Green orchard and farm in Harris Hollow. Mr. McCarthy has recommended that the permit be revoked because subsequent family transfers of land have reduced the acreage specified in the permit. (One 30 acre parcel, deeded to Alexander and Roseanne Sharp, includes the migrant worker housing.) The county Planning Commissioners found the permit to be still valid, in that the parcels were transfered to family members and that the operation continues unchanged as a family orchard and farm. “My clients see the decision as fairly simple . . . narrow . . . whether the division of a 225 acre tract subsequent to the issuance of a special use permit, in and of itself gives cause for the revocation of that permit,” Douglas Baumgardner told the BZA. “I think you’re entitled to investigate more than the one point brought up by Mr. McCarthy,” argued Frank Reynolds, attorney representing the adjoining landowners, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gorfein. “You can look into whether any of the conditions (of the special use permit) have been breached.” Mr. McCarthy noted that he has made no findings — “either affirmative or negative” — on the Sharps’ compliance with other conditions of their special use permit. “I’m not going to start looking for problems. If someone wants to make a complaint, I’ll investigate .. . It’s always confidential in my office, but I want to hear the complaints before I investigate,” the zoning administrator said, looking towards the Gorfeins and their attorney. He noted that when the migrant housing was authorized, the zoning administrator then did not issue written permits but wrote any conditions attached by the BZA on the inside cover of the file folder for the application. Mr. McCarthy added that the court reporter’s transcript of the August, 1984, BZA meeting had only been received that morning so he had not yet found the time to review it for additional information. Mr. Baumgardner noted that the Sharps themselves had asked the zoning administrator to review the special use permit in light ot the lainily transfers to make sure “they’re not doing anything in violation of their special use permit or any other conditions of the Rappahannock County zoning ordinance. ” Under the terms of the ordinance, the Sharps must be given 10 days notice in which to appeal a permit revocation to the BZA. Acting BZA chairman Sharon Luke noted that the time element has been satisfied in regard to the narrow issue of whether family transfers have invalidated their special use permit for the temporary migrant worker housing. Mr. Reynolds suggested that his clients and anyone else with other allegations of violations bring their complaints to the zoning administrator so Mr. McCarthy can make a finding or bring the charges to the BZA for a decision at the September 24 meeting and, at the same time, give the Sharps the required 10 days notice. After a quick consultation with Mrs. Sharp, Mr. Baumgardner noted exception to setting the matter over to a later date. “We expected to be dealing with one very narrow issue today,” he said.

Hopefully, ( with the strong program of races of[ fered by each race committee, specif tators will be able to see the leading ' horses, riders and trainers CompetI! ing at the Virginia meets, i Fans of the infield sport realize, I of course, that not everyone who at; tends a steeplechase meet is there j to watch the horses run. For the 1 non-enthusiast, all Virginia’s hunt race meets are held at beautiful courses in the country, each truly unique in its own way. There is no finer setting for an afternoon of serious tailgating and people watching. | Fairfax Hunt Races The Fairfax Hunt hosted its first I steeplechase meet 29 years ago in Reston. “Our old race course is now covi ered with houses and schools,” says j Randolph A. Rouse, master of the hunt and chairman of the races. Fairfax now holds its races at the Belmont Plantation, a property owned by IBM, near Leesburg. It is one of the few steeplechase courses anywhere that spectators can see the whole course from one position. Purses at Fairfax are up by $4,000 this fall for the six race card on Saturday, Sept. 20. The first race, a non-sanctioned turf contest for lady riders, goes off at 2 p.m. The sanctioned portion of the program comprises three brush races, a flat race and a timber race. The feature brush race, which follows a maiden and a claiming race , over national fences, is the $6,000 i Sovran Bank Guest Cup for 3-year■ olds and up which have never won j $3,600 twice. The feature timber ' race, the $7,000 Virginia Gentleman Sewman Bowl, is the final race on the card. The Bowman Bowl, a three-mile open timber contest, is the first of the Loudoun County Timber Triple Crown races sponsored by the U.S. Trust Company of New York. The owner of the horse placing highest in the triple of Fairfax, Middleburg and Morven Park will receive an award from U.S. Trust. Belmont Plantation is located on Rt. 7 east of Leesburg.

Foxfield Fall Races After the success of last year’s fall meet, held on a Sunday to avoid confrontation with a University of Virginia football game, Foxfield has decided to go with this day again for ’86 and will be held on Sunday, Sept. 29. Located on Barracks/Garth Road near Charlottesville, the Foxfield races are popular with students and townsfolk alike. “It’s a fun afternoon for everyone, no matter w'hat their tastes,5’ says racing chairman Steve Groat. “It’s a good place to go because everybody has a good time.” Foxfield’s five-race card starts at 1 p.m. with a two mile maiden brush race, followed by a turf race and a non-winners of two steeplechase. Fourth race is a three-mile open timber contest with a $3,000 purse. Feature race of the day is the Grand National, second leg in stee' piechasing’s Triple Crown, w'hich also comprises the Temple Gwathmey at Belmont Park, N.Y. and the New York Turf Writers’ Cup at Saratoga, N.Y. A good field can be expected for the Grand National as the race’s sponsor, B.M.W., has raised the purse for the 21/4-mile handicap by $5,000 to $25,000. Spectators are advised to go early to the Foxfield races as crowds are often large and the access road quickly backs up. General admission is $5 plus $3 for parking. For more information call (804)2938169. Virginia Fall Races Middleburg gets October off to a crisp start with two days of racing, Saturday, Oct. 4 and Sunday, Oct. 5. Racing starts at 1 p.m. both days with six races and pony races on Saturday and five races and a junior race on Sunday. For local horsemen the races at Glenwood Park are excellent as there is a good selection to suit most types of horses and the course generally has superb footing. As an added attraction, purses are up $4,500 this year even though there is one less race. Besides a trophy and a purse, winning owners at Middleburg, plus second place finishers, will be given a stud service to a local stallion for the 1987 season. Saturday’s feature race will be the $6,000 Chronicle Cup timber race which follows two maiden and one claiming brush races. The feature is the second leg of the Loudoun County Timber Triple Crown and will be contested over three miles. A maiden turf and an amateur flat race, which is part of the fall highweight series for amateur riders, will close Saturday’s program. Sunday opens with three brush races, the first for maidens, the second for claimers. The third brush — Douglas Lees for Arundel Newspapers Virginia’s race schedule promises exciting racing contest is the $7,500 Daniel Sands Cup handicap at 2,/2 miles which is likely to draw some good local ’chasers. Two turf races, one for fillies and mares, the other open, end the day’s sanctioned program. There will be one more event after the final race, however. Middleburg’s race organizers offer a unique weekend for fox hunters tlugfe. combines hunting with the races and several parties. For $350 a couple participants spend a morning hunting with Piedmont followed by a breakfast, thfen a morning with Middleburg followed by the races and then dinner, and finally a morning with the Middleburg-Orange County Beagles followed by the races and cocktails. Throughout the weekend participants in this program are judged on their foxhunting ability by members of the hunt and the local race committee. After Sunday’s races the final event is a drag hunt over the race course. The win ner of the event is honored as the Hunter Champion of America. Glenwood Park is located off Rt. 626 north of Middleburg. General admission to the races is $5 per day. For more information call (703)6875662. Morven Park Races An extra race has been added to the Morven Park schedule for 1986, nudging the total up to a healthy seven race card for the Saturday, Oct. 11 meet. Along with the larger program, purses at this year’s Morven race will also be larger, by $9,000, with a total of $37,000 being offered thanks to new sponsorships from the U.S. Trust Company, Ryder Trucks and West Park Hotels. The meet near Leesburg should be very attractive to local horsemen, not only for its variety and lucrative offerings, hut also because the course should he in excellent condition too. Last year Morven Park purchased a special irrigation machine and officials say they are all tooled up to irrigate the course this year starting three weeks before the meet. For the first time Morven is also going to start using artificial brush jumps instead of stuffing cedar fences for its brush races. Racing starts at Morven at 2 p.m. with a duo of maiden brush races. The third race is for non-winners of two and the fourth is an open claimer. The new race on the card will be the feature brush race, a $10,000 handicap going 2V-> miles. This will be followed by the Samuel H. Rogers Memorial timber race, the last of the Loudoun County Timber Triple Crown series. The threemile timber contest carries a $7,000 purse and may see some strong entries prepping for Great Meadow's big timber race the following week. _ The final race of the day at Morven Park is a two-mile turf race. With a 162-pound weight limit, high by flat race standards, this race is designed for amateur riders and is part of the fall highweight flat series. Morven Park is located on Rt. 15 just north of Leesburg. General admission to the races is expected to be $5, although it has not been de See Preview, Page 8

Analysis I - i i iimi iii mi ii .. i m m i « nwwiiMi mh\ nl m tfWii — Clive Camic for Arundel Newspapers Saratoga recently completed its most successful jump meet to date ’Chasing leaps ahead By CLIVE CARNIE Aranwl N»w«pap»m Special Writer After years of creeping along in the shadow of flat racing, steeplechuHing has come into its own in 1986, picking up speed like a rolling freight train. In recent years as crowds at hunt meets have grown, so have the number of race sponsors and the amount of money for purses. With larger purses, hunt meets have been seeing bigger and better quality fields and several new meets — such as Great Meadow in The Plains and Calloway Gardens in Georgia — have sprung up across the country. New York’s historic Saratoga Springs race course recently completed its most successful steeplechase meet, offering more money and attracting bigger fields than ever before. At the end of Saratoga’s meet dedicated fans of the sport, already giddy from seeing so many rich and competitive races, received news of an even more exciting event. The Breeders’ Cup, flat racing’s multimillion dollar one-day spectacular, planned to add a special $250,000 steeplechase race to its lucrative card. The race would be held at one of the most attractive steeplechase courses in the country, Maryland’s Fair Hill, and would be shown on prime-time national television. It was the best news steeplechasing fans had heard in years. “The Breeders’ Cup is probably the greatest thing that’s ever happened to the sport; it’s the richest steeplechase race of all time in the world,” says Bill Gallo, racing secretary of the sport’s sanctioning body in this country, the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA). “There isn’t anything happening to the sport now that’s negative,” Mr. Gallo adds. “The impact of the Breeders’ Cup race is great. The eight-minute television slot (in conjunction with national broadcast coverage of the Breeders’ Cup from Santa Anita, Calif.) will give us immediate national and international exposure that will be a tremendous shot in the arm for the sport.” Following news of the Breeders’ Cup race, several hunt meets have added more money to their already sizeable purses. Both the Monmouth County and the Far Hills meets in New Jersey have increased their stakes race purses by $15,000 to $50,000 as preps for the Breeders’ Cup race on Nov. 1. The Columbus, Ga., meet plus the Colonial Cup meet in Camden, S.C., have both raised their feature race purses, even though these two meets follow the Breeders’ Cup. “Overall, purses for the fall meet will exceed a million dollars, almost twice what they were last year. That’s a significant hike,” Mr. Gallo comments. “Things are really on an upward swing right now, everything looks really positive.” The Breeders’ Cup race is just the icing on top of the cake for steeplechasing, however. The sport has been growing significantly in the last three or four years, thanks in large part to the hunt meets. Up until about 20 years ago the majority of steeplechase races took place in the infields of flat race courses, earning racing over fences the nickname of “the infield sport.” Hunt meets, hosted at rural race courses by individual hunts and landowners, were generally small and somewhat exclusive, in some cases limited to members of the hunt and their friends. In time, however, the growing expense of hosting races forced hunt meet organizers to open their events to the public. Growth was slow at first. But, in recent.years, as word has spread, the rural meets have become more and more popular. “Steeplechasing is a change in pace for a lot of spectators," explains Randolph A. Rouse, master of the Fairfax Hunt and chairman of that hunt’s annual steeplechase races. “People like doing things outdoors in the country nowadays. Maybe the country has become more precious as urbanization has grown.” For many spectators going to a steeplechase meet to watch horses race over fences is of secondary importance.

Great Meadow is already a well established part of the Virginia steeplechase scene. With this year’s meet on Saturday, Oct. 18, falling two weeks before the $250,000 Breeders’ Cup Steeplechase Race at Fair Hill, Md., the race course near The Plains may see some top quality horses in its races. Great Meadow’s program will begin at about noon with a duo of pony races. The first of six sanctioned races, a $5,000 two-mile maiden, goes off at 1:30 p.m. Second race on the card is a $5,000 maiden timber race going 3'A miles. An open hurdle race carrying a purse of $8,000 will be third on the Great Meadow program. Feature race at the state’s newest course is the $12,500 International Gold Cup, an open timber race going 3l/z miles. In the past this race has attracted some of the top timber horses from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania and Great Meadow officials are confident that this year’s race will be an exciting renewal. The final two races at Great Meadow are on the turf, both at two miles. The first is another of the fall highweight flat series races for amateur riders, the second is for maidens. As an added incentive for good competition this year, the leading rider and trainer at Great Meadow’s races will receive an award from the race committee. Awards for the groom of the best turned out horse will be given before each race. Great Meadow officials announced they would permit schooling on the course at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Oct. 15. There will be no temporary overnight stabling at the course this year. Instead, overnight shippers will be boarded in permanent stalls on the farm at the back of the course. Fifty one permanent stalls are expected to be built on the course by next year’s Virginia Gold Cup meet in May. Great Meadow is located at the junction of routes 17 and 245. Gates will open for the meet at 10 a.m. with general admission costing $10 for a carload of six. For more information call (703)347-5001, or for tickets (703)347-2612. Montpelier Hunt Races The local fall season ends on Sunday, Nov. 2, with the Montpelier Hunt Races at the former home of President James Madison. Formerly owned by* Marion duPont Scott, the historic race course overlooked by the beautiful mansion is now the property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. When the late Mrs. Scott was alive entry to the Montpelier races was free to the public. This year, for the first time, spectators at the Montpelier races will have to pay for admission. “The two years after Mrs. Scott’s death in 1983, her family has given us grants that have made it possible for the races to be run at no charge, but we received no grants this year and so must charge for admission,” explains Dory Twitchell, executive director at Montpelier. “The proceeds from admissions will cover all the costs of the meet such as the purses and trophies. This isn’t going to be a fund raiser for the National Trust - we just expect to break even. ” Montpelier’s five race card, which has been boosted by an $8,000 increase to $28,500 this year, will start at 1:30 p.m. First race is a $5,000 maiden brush contest. Then the scene shifts to the only dirt track at a Virginia meet for the second race for 3-year-olds and up at one mile. The featured $10,000 Noel Laing Handicap is third on the card. The final race at the Orange County course is a $5,000 claimer over the natural brush fences. Following the day after the $250,000 Breeders’ Cup race meet at Fair Hill, Md., and also running against a meet at Columbus, Ga., the entries at Montpelier may be light, though officials ar6 confident of a good field.

Companies have found the festive nature of the hunt meets to be perfect for entertaining business clients and attracting new customers. “Steeplechasing has a good costbenefit ratio for companies entertaining clients,” says Dr. Rogers, joint-master of the Loudoun Hunt and chairman of the Morven Park steeplechase races. “Businesses seem to get a high number of acceptances to their invitations and appear very satisfied with the day,” he adds. “It’s better than taking a box at a Redskin’s game where you’re confined and everyone leaves when the game is over.” Several companies have also found steeplechase fans a perfect audience and market for their products. “A sponsor can put five or ten thousand dollars into a race meet and for that they get an ad in the program plus eight or ten thousand people listening to their name being announced as sponsor of a race — that s probably as good a buy as you See Growth, Page 12 File Photo Festive atmosphere attracts many people to races Quality personalized Real Estate Service provided by a highly motivated and experienced professional staff.

Growth From Page 10 can find anywhere," says Mr. Rouse. “Newspaper, radio and TV ads are so expensive and such a shotgun approach to an audience. And some things, such as liquor, can’t be advertised on the air. “With a steeplechase race, businesses can pinpoint their audience, particularly the manufacturers of high-priced cars like BMW,. Mercedes and Audi who see many of their customers taking parking spaces at the races. ” The amount of sponsorship at steeplechase races varies widely, depending on the meet and the companies involved. Some businesses put up the whole purse for a race, such as the $15,000 Merrill Lynch Cup and the $6,000 Michelob Cup at Atlanta, Ga., or the $6,000 Sovran Bank Guest Cup at Fairfax. Other sponsors contribute part of the purse or simply choose to pay for a tent or several reserved parking places at the meet. This year, for the first time, steeplechasing has a sponsor for the whole year. There are also sponsors for series of races at different meets, similar to flat racing. The new circuit sponsor is Chase Manhattan Bank of New York which is giving a $50,000 award to the outstanding brush horses of the season. The top five horses will be determined on points accumulated based on the value of the races that they won or placed in during the year. The owner of the leading horse will receive $30,000, a handsome sum to add to what will surely be some very respectable earnings. On a smaller level the U.S. Trust Co. of New York has agreed to sponsor a triple crown of timber racing at three meets in Loudoun County. The company will give an award to the horse accumulating the highest overall score in the Bowman Bowl at Fairfax on Sept. 20, the Chronicle Cup at Middleburg on Oct. 4 and the Samuel H. Rogers Memorial at Morven Park on Oct. 11. The Loudoun County Timber Triple Crown is not U.S. Trust’s first venture into steeplechasing, however. As one of the trustees and the business manager of the Westmoreland Davis Foundation, U.S. Trust has gained experience in steeplechasing through the Foundation’s sponsoring of the Morven Park races. “Our involvement in Morven Park is quite extensive and goes back a number of years, and because of that we decided to get into steeplechasing a bit more,” explains Angelina M. Painter, executive president of U.S. Trust. “The purpose of sponsoring this series is to try to create a stronger interest in timber racing and to get more people involved in the sport. It’s also a forum for us to get some exposure and some new clients. If this works out we’d like to broaden our sponsorship to cover all of Northern Virginia.” More sponsors and larger purses have attracted many hew participants to ’chasing. With the added money the quality of horses contesting the races has also improved, making races more competitive and, attracting additional fans, which iflfturn brings bigger sponsorships. “You used to be able to win one of these things with a cheap flat track reject, but you can’t do that now,” comments Mr. Rouse, who has campaigned several successful jumpers himself, including Virginia Point-to-Point Horse of the Year Cinzano. “To win a steeplechase race today you need a solid flat track horse,” adds the local horseman. “The ones that win over jumps now can win a pretty good race on the flat tracks too.” With more steeplechase races being offered, plus larger purses, trainers can now look to the sport as a means of making a living without having to rely on flat track racing for a supplementary income. “Steeplechasing is in a growth period at the moment and could become profitable for trainers,” says Tennessean Frank Raquet, currently the season’s leading trainer. “You’re finding a lot of younger trainers in the business now' with new ideas who aren’t so set in their ways and are willing to accept new ideas and technology. That’s important.

Breeders' Cup — Ann Barker for Arundel Newspapers Behind race director Steve Groat, workers build a new grandstand at Fair Hill ‘Chasing’s great day tx *-nir.T\xx__ __ greatest single day events in steeplechase history. Thanks to an incredible feat of negotiation and diplomacy by steeplechase officials in Maryland and New York, the beautiful race course in northern Maryland will be home for a $250,000 steeplechase race on the multi-million dollar Breeders’ Cup race program. Not just another hunt meet in the country. Not just the world’s richest steeplechase event. Not just $600,000 worth of improvements to the finest country racing facility in this area, but the biggest shot in the arm to the sport in its long history. “You wouldn’t believe all the obstacles we’ve had to overcome,” explained Stephen P. Groat, racing director at Fair Hill, as he leaned back in his chair and smiled with the satisfaction of one who has faced all obstacles, cleared them with style and come home down the stretch a clear winner. . “I’ve been working on this since last November,” he added “and there have been many times when I couldn’t see how we could get it all accomplished.” As an example, he mentioned the time when bulldozers clearing the crumbling old concrete Aintree Stands near the finish line tried to relocate a five foot square chunk of old concrete and a 20 foot high geyser of water shot into the air. “They thought they’d hit a water main,” Mr. Groat said. “I knew we didn’t have a water main here as water .has, often, begn a problem — obstruction, the earth moving equipment had inadvertently discovered the problem that had caused the 50-year-old stands to crumble and collapse. Ground water in tens of thousands of gallons had been trapped in the clay beneath the stands and held there by the concrete. “No wonder the old stand was shifting and crumbling,” Mr. Groat added. “The water shot up in the air for six hours as it was released. Then we found out we couldn’t move the big hunk of old concrete so we had to go back to the drawing board and revise the plans. This held up construction and added to the cost as well. I don’t see how the contractor can complete the roof and the mutuel windows and all the other amenities we will have in the new stand before race day. But the boxes will be ready; that’s the important thing.” The Aintree Stand was in such a state of disrepair that Mr. Groat said Fair Hill wasn’t going to con tinue without the construction of a Hill) had already allocated the funds before we had confirmed the Breeders’ Cup race.” Getting the Breeders’ Cup race to Fair Hill was a long-term, joint project that began four years ago with Charles T. Colgan, executive secretary of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association. “The NSHA went to Breeders’ Cup at the outset,” Mr. Colgan explained. “In our earliest discussions they felt it better not to try to do too much, because it was a new and ambitious plan for all of Thoroughbred racing. “The first year was a success for the flat racing people and from time to time we would knock on their door and remind them that steeplechase horses are Thoroughbreds too.” Mr. Groat, who is a member of the NSHA Board of Stewards, was kept abreast of NSHA negotiations. But, rather than sit back and play the waiting game, he decided to do some footwork of his own. “After the Colonial Cup last year, on a Thursday afternoon I decided it would be a good idea to simulcast the Breeders’ Cup to Fair Hill — no races, just simulcast wagering to generate some income without the expenses of a race meet,” Mr. Groat explained. “I called George Strawbridge and asked for his opinions. He thought it was a good idea and maybe Fair Hill See Cup, Page 16 62 Franklin St. Warrenton, Va. 22186 L Cabinetmaker Refinisher Jon Brandon 703-649-9221 Fine Cabinetmaking 18th Century Furniture Refinishing of all kinds of ^X^oodwork Hours: Mon.-Fri. 8-4:30 tty's tter hocolates AND Pete's Big Dipper BETTY'S— PETE'S— Novelties in Chocolate Hershey 's Ice Cream -Tailgate Platters- Eat-in/Take-out Candy Making Supplies Sodas, Sundaes Bulk Ice Cream and more!

With Montpelier and Calloway Gardens, Georgia running that weekend and neither meet having a timber race, it wouldn’t interfere with their programs. “I was about to hang up the phone when I said to George, almost as an afterthought, ‘Why not a Breeders’ Cup Steeplechase?’ ” Mr. Groat recalled. “ ‘That’s a super idea,’ George replied. ‘I’ll call Will Farish tomorrow. ’ ” A member of the Jockey Club, the Breeders’ Cup Board and NSHA Board of Stewards, Mr. Farish was also a successful owner of steeplechase horses, having raced the fine ’chaser Thrice Worthy among others. “Well, George hadn’t talked to Farish by Monday, so I called him,” Mr. Groat continued. “I told him what we wanted to do here at Fair Hill and he thought it was a great idea. He had had some positive comments after the Colonial Cup from several of his friends on the same subject, especially after the fine race Salute, the French horse who finished second to Flatterer, had put in.” Mr. Farish began a telephone poll of the Breeders’ Cup committee to find their thoughts about a steeplechase race on the November 1 program that was to be staged at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Ca. “I had to go to the Maryland Racing Commission, then get a ruling from the Attorney General for permission to simulcast the races from California,” Mr. Groat explained. Breeders’ Cup and NSHA directors Duncan Patterson, D. G. Van Clief, George Strawbridge, Will Farish and Mr. Groat then began to iron out the details. “There were times when not much was happening,” Mr. Groat explained. “But in late January the Breeders’ Cup board had approved the concept and they formed a committee to meet with a NSHA committee. The push was on. I had a video tape made to show them. I showed it in the press box at Camden during the Carolina Cup and it was sort of neat how it evolved. All the stumbling blocks and problems that came up, somehow we were able to work around them. “Mike Letis was the liaison man from NBC-TV in New York. Bill Gallo, Bill Pape and Charlie Colgan from NSHA met with us and the State of Maryland was represented by Mike Nelson, who is assistant Secretary for the Department of Natural Resources. “The proposed cost estimate for TV production for 8V2 minutes of time was between $175,000 and $200,000, but when we left the meeting, there was a general feeling it could be done. Governor Hughes said he would approve the plan but we would have to have local community support.” By this time there was rumor of the Columbus, Ga., races wanting the Breeders’ Cup steeplechase at their meeting. Rumors that included a great deal of money readily available while the people at Fair Hill still had at least $100,000 to raise. “George Strawbridge and I met ^ and decided we could raise $100,000 ** over the weekend,” Mr. Groat explained. “We did! We called everyone we knew and the Cecil County people (who hold their breeders’ fair at Fair Hill) came up with $10,000 from their Special Event funds. Then the State of Maryland completed the funding with $65,000 and we could guarantee television production costs.” On August 1 at Saratoga the formal announcement was made that there would be a $250,000 Breeders’ Cup steeplechase race at Fair Hill. Mr. Colgan elaborated on the lengthy negotiations. “Breeders' Cup at first felt it unfair to take even a portion of the monies away from the flat people and put it into steeplechasing. Most of our runners are geldings and not breeding stock. We pointed out to Breeders’ Cup the importance of expanding into jump racing. All our horses are Thoroughbreds after all, and a lot of these horses have already been nominated to the Breeders’ Cup program and could support such a race.” Among steeplechasers nominated to the multi-million dollar program is Peggy Steinman’s Dirham, sire of New York Turf Writers Cup See Cup, Page 20 RICK HUNT FORD LINCOLN-MERCURY Fauquier County’s Largest Dealer r 1 1984 AWARD DEALER New & Used Sales - Rentals Leasing Service - Parts Route 29-211 North, Warrenton 347-1234

Championship ■ — Douglas Lees for Arundel Newspapers With no year-end titles yet decided, racing should be close this fall Title fights are close By CLIVE CARNIE Arundel Newspapers Special Writer For the first time in several years, there’s a real race on for all the year-end steeplechase titles on the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association circuit as the 1986 fall season gets under way. In previous years, after a successful spring and a profitable summer at Saratoga, Jonathan Sheppard has often had the training title wrapped up by now and George Strawbridge Jr. has had a pretty solid grip on the leading owners title. But, this year the picture is different. Mr. Sheppard leads the trainers’ standings in money won, but not in races won (where he is in second place), and Mr. Strawbridge’s Augustin Stables in Unionville. Pa. are third on the owners’ list, a long way behind the leader. In the horse standings, the gap between the top three is very slim, with the fourth, (id h and sixthplaced animals brea .ning dowTn the leaders’ necks also. Only three points separate the top three jockeys going into the fall season, and two points further back another three riders are tied for fourth, leaving this division wide open. John Griggs’ impressive Steve ^Canyon currently leads the horse standings with three wins, a second and a third from six starts for earnings of $69,140. The Hell Gate Canyon gelding finished second to Flatterer in his first start, the Atlanta Cup, in April and then two weeks later won the $25,000 Pillar Stakes in Lexington, Ky. Also in the spring he won races at Fair Hill and Monmouth Park to move into first place for the season. Steve Canyon is not likely to race again this year, however, and is expected to relinquish his title soon after the fall season gets under way. Chilean-bred Reagan lurks a short way behind the leader. Owned by James Richards, whaxxwns Eox.hall Farms in Carrollton, Reagan has won five of his six starts this year for earnings of $65,800. The South American horse started the year as a maiden in Camden, S.C. After a win there he won the Block House at St. Louis, Mo., and then won a race at the Iroquois meet in ^Nashville, Tenn., and a race at the Hard Scuffle meet in Prospect, Ky. Unfortunately Reagan was hurt in a race during the summer and has been retired for the season. Marti Sanger’s impressive Virginia-bred jumper, Uncle Edwin, has secured the third place position following his sole victory in the lucrative $100,000 Iroquois Steeplechase at Nashville in May. Uncle Edwin may also be out of the racing picture for the fall, according to NSHA racing secretary and handicapper, Bill Gallo. With Reagan out for the year and Steve Canyon and Uncle Edwin unlikely to return, the positions in both the horse and the trainer standings are almost definitely going to change. 1984’s leading money earner, George Chase’s Census, lurks in the fourth spot following a win at Saratoga, but he is likely to contest some of the rich stakes races this fall. William Pape and Jonathan Sheppard’s Flatterer is in fifth place (the NSHA standings do not include Flatterer’s second place finish in the French Champion Hurdle race). The three-time Steeplechase Cham pion is the pre-race favorite to win the $250,000 Breeders’ Cup race in November as well as several other stakes this fall which will soon put him back in the number one slot. Flatterer’s two victories to date -havebeen- the Atlanta Cup and. the— National Hunt Cup at Radnor. “Horses that have not campaigned much during the spring and summer, like Flatterer, Census and Le Sauteur (currently in sixth place) have got a good chance of moving up in the standings this fall,” says Mr. Gallo. “This triumvirate should make for some exciting racing this fall.” Tennessean Frank Raquet currently leads the trainer standings but with Reagan, his main moneyearner, out for the season his hold on the title is tenuous. The former show horse trainer does not usually campaign horses during in the fall, but plans to change his schedule this year. “We’ve been in a slow building pattern the last few years, shaping a lot of South American horses and we’re just at the stage now that the horses can start running this fall,” explains Mr. Raquet. “Running in the fall is often more of a geographical problem for us because we’re so far away from any of the meets and I prefer not to travel with younger horses.” Cambiar, winner of a claiming race at Saratoga, is Mr. Raquet’s current star. The Tennessee trainer says he also plans to campaign 16 maidens this fall. For the last 13 years American steeplechasing has been dominated by Englishman Jonathan Sheppard. See Titles, Page 18 220 E.

Currently in third place is Janet Elliot of Unionville, Pa. A fellow countrymanlperson?) of Mr. Sheppard’s, Ms. Elliot was also an apprentice to the perennial champion. The leading lady trainer is only one point behind Mr. Sheppard in the standings. As the stable rider for Mr. Raquet, leading jockey George Sloan is in a similarly precarious position on the top of the standings. From 34 rides this year, the Tennessee jockey has scored 10 jump and one flat race victories and has earned $107,090. Only one point behind Mr. Sloan is Ricky Hendriks of Unionville who last year finished in second place in the standings and was third in 1984. Mr. Hendriks, who rides for Hall of Fame trainer Burly Cocks, will probably be out for blood this fall. In third place on the jock’s list is Gregg Morris who rides for trainers JONATHAN SHEPPARD ... Awaiting another title? Charlie Fenwick and John Griggs. Only two points behind the Maryland rider former champion jockeys Jerry Fishback, Jeff Teter and Bemie Houghton are tied for fourth place and with only five points separating them from the leader, the battle for the number one slot should be fierce this fall. “This is probably the closest jockey championship we’ve had in years,” says Mr. Gallo. Nor is the owners’ championship sewn up for the season. John Griggs currently leads the list with winnings of $107,935 from a string of five horses which have won seven victories. With his main winner, Steve Canyon, out for the season,' Mr. Griggs may soon slip from the number one slot. Lurking quietly in the second position is William Pape who campaigns Flatterer, Polar Parallel and Polar Pleasure, three horses who are likely to do well this fall for their owner. George Strawbridge’s Augustin Stables has had an unparalleled grip on the owners title for 11 of the last 12 years. This year, however, the master’s grip appears to be slipping as Augustin sits quietly in thirdplace with six jump and one flat win from his 14 starters and earnings of $67,958. Augustin’s leading money earner, Gateshead, is out for the year but Gogong, a stakes winner from New Zealand, is back in training and may be able to help his owners. With no clear cut leaders in any of the division championships the fall season should be exceptionally interesting and exciting for steeplechase fans. Combined with the big purses of the fall, the racing should be fierce and competitive with no holds barred.

All the foals from the partnership of Bill Pape and leading steeplechase trainer Jonathan Sheppard are also nominated. Besides the richest purse in the sport’s history, the Breeders’ Cup will also have several other important effects on steeplechasing. “It will be a very attractive television feature,” commented Mr. Colgan. “Most of the huge TV audience who watch the Breeders’ Cup don’t distinguish the difference between types of flat races. They can’t miss with the steeplechase horses as they will definitely be noticed.” In addition to the eight and onehalf minute segment in the fourhour Breeders’ Cup telecast, Fair Hill will be on for an hour and a half on the USA Cable Network and a half hour on a Baltimore television station. Sam Slater, whose Hunt Cup productions have been the video patrol judge cameras at 90 percent of the hunt meets for the past half dozen years, is television coordinator. Richard Pitman, correspondent for the BBC and The Sporting Life will provide color commentary. The race will be called by Tony Bentley, prominent race track announcer. Fair Hill’s 50-year-old turf race course is in excellent condition and “I’ve been working on this since November and there have been many times when I couldn’t see how we could get it all accomplished.” —Steve Groat will receive more pampering between now and Nov. 1. The last timber fence has been removed from the center of the track and will be re-located along the fence line to allow the start of the Breeders’ Cup race in the chute. The Cup horses will jump 16 of the national fences along the 2% mile route — two on the front side the first time, then four on the back and all seven the final circuit finishing out over three fences in the final straight. _ To be eligible for the weight-forage race, entries must be Thoroughbreds age three and older. Horses by stallions nominated to the Breeders’ Cup will require a $500 nomination fee with another $1,500 tacked on if the horse’s sire is not nominated to the program. To continue eligibility, owners must come up with another $2,500 for their horses on Monday, Oct.20 and the same again nine days later when the final entries will close. The nomination fees are hefty by steeplechase standards, but considering the purse is $250,000 and the winner will get 50 percent of that, there will be many owners clamoring to get their horses in the race. Early response to the announcement of the race was enthusiastic from horsemen in this country and Europe. Fair Hill has permission from the Maryland Racing Commission to start as many as 18 horses in the Breeders’ Cup Steeplechase. “The limit was set in keeping with Breeders’ Cup standards,” Mr. Groat explained. “We will have to see how the race fills. If we have to limit the field, 65 percent of the horses will gain admission by their lifetime earnings. The other 35 percent will be determined on ability by a panel of experts.” Keep Virginia Beautiful From the mountains to the shore, Virginians and visitors to the state enjoy a wealth of enchanting beauty.

The Fairfax races are the first on the fall schedule and Mr. Rouse hopes for one more rain before September 20th. “We didn’t clip the course all summer during the drought,” explains Mr. Rouse. “We just bushhogged to about 8” and left the mulch on top to protect from sun baking. We fertilized the course two weeks ago; now we’ll just mow it all once more.” Down in Charlottesville, Foxfield race organizer Page Fiery admits she was worried about the drought earlier in the summer. “It had gotten to the point where it could have done damage, but the turf held up well and it’s beautiful right now,” says Miss Fiery. “Actually I wouldn’t mind if it quit raining now!” Thomas Shifflett, who is in charge of maintenance at the Foxfield course, explains that his crew has been having to mow more often since the rain started, two weeks ago. “We’re just trying to keep it mowed,” he explains. “Now we’re keeping it short — just like a yard —but over the summer we had lots of mulch on it and left it about five to six inches long. The mulch saved it from any permanent damage.” There’s more to keeping the turf “Luckily all of this rain that has fallen has put us in good shape.” — Randy Rouse healthy than just keeping it the right length. “We’ve been spending time filling up all the holes,” Mr. Shifflett continues. “And we gave it a good healthy dose of fertilizer. We use turkey manure here - it’s the best fertilizer around.” W. Gary Baker, who manages the two days of the Middleburg Fall Races, went for a walk and a horseback ride around Glenwood Park last week to inspect the race course. “A lot of the turf had started to die because of the drought conditions,” Mr. Baker reports of his in^ spection tour. “But now it’s all recovered. It’s in pretty good shape now and will be in very, very good shape if it stays moist.” Some plans for the Glenwood course had to be changed because of the drought. It was originally scheduled to be seeded over the summer, but drought conditions prevented that. Instead the course was hydroseeded last week. Local race committees aren’t the only ones concerned with the condition of steeplechase race courses. The fall races sanctioning body, the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, has a course committee that is responsible for seeing that the courses are safe for racing. The committee chairman is Virginia Rodion Cantacuzene who lives near Middleburg. “The NSHA course committee has already inspected our course and given its stamp of approval,” says Gary Baker. “I think we w'ere the first ones they did this fall.” Not far from Middleburg, at Morven Park near Leesburg, is another race course that will be in action this fall. Last year the Morven Park committee purchased a very See Course, Page 23 PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE The stigma and misconceptions of mental health care prevent many people in need of treatment from seeking help.

But if it’s dry from now until about 10 days before our race on October 11, then we’ll go to the irrigation system.” Over the summer the course at Morven Park has had regular doses of fertilizer and lime as required. The important thing, Mr. Maurer feels, is to “keep the grass at a manageable level so that no thatch develops.” The new Great Meadow course near The Plains has the advantage of having a year-round maintenance manager to take care of its grounds and the land is not used for anything but other horse events during the rest of the year. But as the summer wore on at the beautiful rolling course officials began to wonder if anything could save the course from irreparable drought damage. "A month ago we wondered if we would be able to have the races this fall because the course was so brown,” explains Ann Barker, race director at Great Meadow. “But the rains began a few weeks ago and we got the area fertilized and now the Gill Implement Co.r Inc.

The soil is tested regularly for pH balance by an agronimist before it is fertilized. Turf is aerated by a special machine the race committee recently purchased just for turf courses. Great Meadow’s turf has been specially designed for horse racing by a team of horsemen led by Jonathan Green of New Jersey. “The basic grass is fortress fescue,” explains Mrs. Barker. “It has a deep root system that is very drought and disease resistant and although it has a narrow blade it provides a very good cushion underfoot.” To keep the course in good condition, Great Meadow officials also have a strict policy about keeping vehicles off the course. “Soil compaction is one of the really serious problems with any turf racing strip,” explains Mrs. Barker. “We’ve cut down the number of patrol judge cars we use on race day because the area around the finish line gets the most compaction. That’s the area where the race can be won or lost.” The final race of the Virginia fall circuit will take place on Sunday, Nov. 2 at Montpelier, the home of President James Madison that is now owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. At this most southern of the local courses the problem was not the summer’s drought so much as the damage to the footing caused by heavy rains during last year’s meet. “We’ve been lucky the course has come back as well as it has,” says Dory Twitched, assistant director of the historic National Trust Property. “We had to entirely reseed after last year’s damage. The entire course was dragged last spring, and we’ve been putting lime on it from time to time. We expect it to be in very good shape by race day. We may be the only ones who don’t want to see a lot of rain, but we can’t forget what all that rain did last year!” Waterloo Motors IMPORTED CAR SERVICE EAST SHIRLEY AVE., WARRENTON, VA.

ational Preview all season offers $1 million in purses By ANN BARKER Arundel Newspapers Special Writer <» Ingredients that include an exciting program of stakes races and a million dollars in purses promise to produce a thrilling fall season for sUrpiechasing this year. The $250,000 Breeders’ Cup S:cplechase on Nov. 1 is the brightest star in the championship season, but the total scene represents one of the most ambitious schedules ever planned by the Nan.iiial Steeplechase Hunt Association (NSHA) and hunt meet ■! Trials. Despite the cancellation of Fair MiTs early September meet and the !o-. of the highly touted Meadow brook meet on Long Island, X V., the entire fall schedule has lin ed a feeling of great optinism throughout the sport. "The whole picture is bright,” comments William Gallo, Jr., racing secretary and handicapper for the NSHA. “The general mood among the steeplechase community is very positive which we feel is an immediate result of the Breeders’ Cup Steeplechase. It’s made an impact an us all and the possibility of attracting new owners and horses to )ur sport is immense.” * See National, Page 26 D * ^v,u5«a3 ms iui /Arunuei newspapers Kacmg should be close this fall with $1 million in purses being offered and none of the championships decided dnancialA id Private Sector Scholarships and Grants (graudate and undergraduate) are available regarclless of family income, MILLIONS GO UNCLAIMED EACH YEAR.

National From Page 25 There is, perhaps as a result of the Breeders’ Cup, a serious concentration of large purse money at the hunt meets during the final half of the fall steeplechase season beginning with the Monmouth race meeting at Red Bank, N.J. on Oct. 18. Prior to that, on Friday, Oct. 10, the 63rd renewal of the Temple Gwathmey, the final race of the year at a flat race track, will be run at Belmont Park, N.Y. for $50,000' added. This New York feature had its orgins in the 1920’s when a group of friends of the New York sportsman, Temple Gwathmey, gathered to discuss how they might erect some sort of monument to their late friend who died in the prime of his life. I They gathered funds together and United Hunts scheduled a steeplechase at Belmont Park in Gwathmey’s memory and set up a fund for steeplechasing which has continued uninterrupted all these decades. “It’s possible that the complexion of the ‘Gwathmey5 will change this year due to the Breeders’ Cup being three weeks later,” explained Charles T. Colgan, executive secretary of the NSHA. “A lot of the $50,000 races will take on a different look. In all, the Breeders’ Cup has had a major impact on the sport. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some horses in these $50,000 stakes that you normally wouldn’t expect to be there. The whole fall program gives a chance to spread the money around to everyone.” Mr. Gallo said he expects threetime Steeplechase Horse of the Year Flatterer to start in the Gwathmey, although it may require the champion ’chaser to carry a 175pound impost. Often overlooked by those of us south of the Mason-Dixon line is the well established Genesee Valley Hunt Cup in upstate New York. Be sides a full card of point-to-point type races, the Hunt Cup is sanctioned by NSHA and carries a purse of $2,500 for the winner of this 3V4mile timber test. The race has produced the necessary points needed for the NSHA Timber Horse of the Year title in past years. On Oct. 18 the first of two rich New Jersey meetings takes place at*. Red Bank. It was at this meeting nearly 50 years ago that Temple Gwathmey’s son (of the same name) See National, Page 28 1986 NSHA FALL DATES FAIRFAX, Leesburg, VA.Sat., Sept. 20 FOXFIELD, Charlottesville, VA.Sun., Sept. 28 VIRGINIA FALL, Middleburg, VA..Sat., Oct. 4 VIRGINIA FALL, Middleburg, VA.Sun., Oct. 5 TEMPLE GWATHMEY, Belmont Park, NY.Fri., Oct. 10 MORVEN PARK, Leesburg, VA..Sat., Oct. 11 GENESEE VALLEY, Geneseo, NY.Sat., Oct. 11 MONMOUTH, Red Bank, NJ.Sat., oct. 18 MONMOUTH, Red Bank, NJ..Sat., Oct. 18 GREATMEADOW, The Plains, VA.Sat., Oct. 18 FAR HILLS, Far Hills, NJ..Sat., Oct. 25 FAIR HILL, Fair Hill, MD.Sat., Nov. 1 COLUMBUS, Pine Mountain, GA..Sun., Nov. 2 MONTPELIER, Montpelier Station, VA .Sun., Nov. 2 PENNSYLVANIA HUNT CUP, Unionville, PA.Sat., Nov. 8 CHARLESTON CUP, Charleston, SC.Sun., Nov. 9 COLONIAL CUP, Camden, SC.Sun., Nov. 16 xy^ 667-0574 220 S.

The Monmouth County Hunt meet at Red Bank has added a hefty $40,000 more to its purse structure than last year, and is offering the first of three $50,000 stakes for the season. Falling just two weeks before the Breeders’ Cup, the featured two-mile Metcalf Memorial Cup may well be the final prep for the big race, and several foreign entries are expected to ship over and race this weekend. Both Monmouth and Far Hills, N.J. are located but an hour’s drive or so from metropolitan New York and have for over half a century drawn huge crowds to their gates. The circuit stays in New Jersey for the Far Hills race meet the following weekend. Formerly known as the Essex Fox Hounds race meet when it benefited that well known hunt, an extra $25,000 in purse money has been added to this year’s Far Hills meet. A total of $100,000 will be distributed in a mixed card that includes a 2 5/16-mile steeplechase stake worth $50,000. On Sunday, Nov. 2, Calloway Gardens will hold its second meet near Columbus, Ga. Race Chairman Mason Lampton has added a $15,000 timber steeplechase to compliment his card which includes a $50,000 handicap, a $10,000 maiden ’chase, a $12,500 allowance ’chase and a $2,000 flat race. ' The season’s final timber race on Nov. 8 at the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup meeting may determine the horse of the year honor in that category. Set on three adjoining farms just outside Unionville, the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup is a stem test over four miles and 22 post and rail fences. Its complementary card includes two brush races over national fences and a pair of flat races. The following day, the scene shifts to Charleston, S.C. and Stono Ferry, a new housing community designed for the equine inclined, where the inaugural meeting of the Charleston Cup will be held. The $20,000 Charleston Cup will be run under allowance conditions over 2Vi miles and national fences. The feature race will be complemented by a $7,500 maiden race for 3-year-olds and up and a $10,000 maiden ’chase for 4-year-olds and up. An optional claimer with a purse of $12,500 and a $1,000 flat race will also entertain Charleston’s new found racing public. The final meet of the year will be the prestigious Colonial Cup International Steeplechase at Camden, S.C., on Sunday, Nov. 16. With so many meets scheduled this fall, some people may be wondering about the inventory of horses in training to fill all these races. “The horse inventory is pretty good right now,” Mr. Gallo said. “Of course it gets light when you get to the stakes division but with one million dollars up this fall, it will give us a chance to spread the money around to horsemen a bit. “We overfilled seven of 10 races at Saratoga in August, but I expect that only five or six horses will start in the big stakes, with the exception of the Breeders’ Cup and the Colo-* nialCup.” American owners like Milton Ritzenburg of Leesburg has shipped his fine English and Irish winner over to train with Burley Cocks in Unionville for the fall stakes program. A. 0. Choate’s Turtlehead, a stakes winner in 1984, is back in training and expected to start at the Monmouth meeting. Flatterer is the horse to beat, and trainer and partowner Jonathan Sheppard also has Eremite and Polar Parallel for consideration. Census, a winner at Saratoga this season, is expected to be in the stakes lineup as is Dogwood Farm’s newly imported Kesslin. Trainer Ronnie Houghton has Le Sauteur and In Ferm ready and Charlie Fenwick has two possibiles in Jibaku and Pont du Loup. At Camden, S.C., preparations continue on new grandstands and infield sanitary facilities for the $60,000 Colonial Cup, a race that has always brought out the best America could offer to face European horses. At the NSHA offices both Mr. Gallo and Mr. Colgan feel the season finale has lost none of its prestige despite the enormous purse for jumpers being offered in the Breeders’ Cup.
