PEC chief: State hasn't done 'a damn thing' about septage By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer When the subject of how the county’s septage is going to be handled came up at the Board of Supervisors meeting earlier this month, Robert Dennis of the Piedmont Environmental Council said his organization had been trying for five years to get the State Water Control Board and the State Health Department to do some advanced planning on how septage would be handled “and neither one did a damn thing. ’’ The state law which made it ille gal to spread septage on farmland was passed five years ago and became effective this July 1. “It’s a difficult issue, and there are no answers,” he said. He said the SWCB was required by law to develop a plan for waste disposal in the Rappahannock River basin, but the “planning process had been forgotten for two years because of budget cuts.” The SWCB is not supposed to issue any more dischange permits until the plan is developed, he said, but it is considering a dischange permit ‘This is a tragedy in every jurisdiction. Its a regional problem. ’ — Bob Dennis PEC director for the South Wales development in Culpeper County. SeeSEPTAGE, p.A-7 Town tables ; package plant sewage system' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer Washington Town Council decided to delay for a month making a decision on Camille Harris and Patrick Foster’s application for a special use permit to install a package sewage treatment system at Foster-Harris House. Ms. Harris said the septic system at their house had failed and they had negotiated a lease with Col. and Mrs. Stewart Willis to pump from the Foster-Harris House to a drainfield on the Willis property. She said they were unable to negotiate a long term lease, and the agreement expires in May 1994. “I’m not comfortable waiting any longer to be assured we have a place to put our effluent,” she said. She added their property is on the market and they have potential buyers, but they won’t purchase without “knowing what will happen with the septic.” She said they had explored alternatives and wanted the special use permit to allow them to put in a “multi-flow” system or a sand filtering system if they were unable to negotiate an extension when their agreement expires in 1994. She added that the State Water Control Board would require them to have a discharge permit and that the release would have to be 99.9 percent pure water. Mayor Dean Morehouse noted that the town’s zoning ordinance allows package sewage treatment with a special use permit. He said that had been included in the ordinance at Ms. Harris’s request, but that the special use permit would only be good for one year. Ms. Harris would have to install it or come back to the council for an extension. Ms. Hams said they would want a special use permit that would allow a longer time before the package treatment system is installed. “I don’t want to put it in unless I have to,” she said. Mr. Morehouse said the council would have a difficult time approving a system without knowing what system would be put in. The special use permit is for one year unless the council acts otherwise. “How long would you want to have the special use permit?” he asked. “How long will it take the town to get a sewer?” Ms. Harris countered. Ed Barton, a town resident, asked what would happen if the system failed. Town attorney Frank Reynolds said the same thing could happen with a failing package treatment . plant as a foiling septic system. He said the Health De> See TOWN COUNCIL, p. A-8 Visiting deep ecologists plant seed in county By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Internationally known environmentalist John Seed was among a group of ecologists camped in Rappahannock during the past two weeks for Earthstory, a series of workshops, seminars and information sharing coordinated locally by Hunt Harris of Huntly. Several dozen activists from around the country spent all or part of the 12 day session camped at the Birds’ Fodderstack Road farm, participating in events such as “The Council of All Beings,” “Gender and Deep Ecology,” “Reweaving the Web,” a hike up White Oak Canyon, and training for environmental education facilitators. About 75 people attended a talk by Mr. Seed at the Rappahannock Library, and he said 17 signed up for a new county rainforest action group. Mr. Seed said the Rappahannock retreat—“Earthstory”—was designed to bring nature and the ecology movement closer together. “The conservation movement is losing ground and the problem seems to be alienation many modem people feel from nature.” He explained, “Most of us call it The Environment as if it’s something far away.” The Earthstory retreat combined education with ritual, and although Mr. Seed said his brand of deep ecology is not an alternative religion, “I would have to say some people do have profoundly religious experiences doing this kind of work.” The rituals and ceremonies they employ, he said, “can be anything as corny as going to hug a tree for a while, anything that erases the boundaries between self and nature.” Many in the Earthstory group had just finished a two-day workshop at the Omega Institute in upstate New York when, said Mr. Seed, they realized “a need to go deeper and to get to know each other See ECOLOGY, p.

George Allen first heard about the Democratic Party’s new sobriquet for him, “Malibu George,” the GOP’s 7th District Congressional candidate made a different connection. “My first reaction was the Chevy Malibu. I’ve got a pickup truck and a Ford Explorer,” said Del. Alien, but no Chevrolet. At any rate, the Democrats undoubtedly were referring to Malibu, Calif., as when former candidate T. Dean Reed noted Del. Allen has a “California quality” to him. Del. Allen called the nickname “really infantile, juvenile. It shows the sort of campaign they’re running. It’s not even worthy of response. I’ve represented Mr. Jefferson’s district and the Waltons’ dis trict for nine years. It’s laughable it’s so idiotic.” Now that the Democratic Party has narrowed their field to a single candidate, Charlottesville environmental advocate Kay Slaughter, Del. Allen is anxious to debate her. Two days after Ms. Slaughter was nominated in Culpeper, the Allen campaign issued a challenge to debate, suggesting they schedule two debates, one concerning economic issues and the second on foreign policy topics. Ms. Slaughter responded later that week saying she wanted only one debate, and did not want the subject matter to be restricted. . . A pre-law honor society at U.Va. offered to moderate a foreign policy debate, said Del. Allen, but that too proved unacceptable to the Slaughter camp. Her preference: one debate, spon sored by thfe League of Women Voters. Del. Allen said that as of this week no agreement has been made. “Rather than dawdle around, it’s so hard to set scheduling with all that’s going on every day, let’s get this organized and set up now and not come into the last two weeks in October,” after poll results are out, before setting a date, he said. “It’s a shame she only wants to do one,” said Del. Allen. As a result, he charged, voters will have less information to use in making a decision. He said Monday that their respective political handlers were working on the debate question, and sounded optimistic that some sort of forum will take place.

Missing driver sought State police are investigating an incident in which a driver apparently left the scene of an accident on U.S. 211, 4.7 miles west of Route 651, at 1:50 p.m. Sept. 13, according to Sgt. G.A. Morris. A 1980 Chevy sustained minor damages when it ran off the right side of U.S. 211 and hit a guardrail, said Sgt. Morris. The driver apparently fled, and a passenger, Robert Moody, told Trooper C. A. Moore that he did not know the driver’s identity, said Sgt. Morris. The car was registered to Douglas Utnus of Damascus, Md. Sgt. Morris stated that the passenger was intoxicated and the car was registered improperly. Charges are pending a full investigation. In other police news this week: • Seven people were charged with a total of 12 misdemeanors following an investigation by Rappahannock Sheriffs Office deputies into trespassing and relic hunting on a Washington, Va.-area property.

Horton, 36, of Winchester; Mitzie Lee Horton, 30, of Winchester; and Kimberly W. Filbert, 28, of Winchester. All except Mrs. Horton and Mrs. Filbert were also charged with petty larceny.

If convicted, each count carries a potential maximum sentence of one year in the county jail and a $1,000 fine. • The Rappahannock Sheriffs Office has solved a string of mailbox vandalisms in the Route 626Long Mountain area, according to Sheriff John H.

Darby, Wood discuss issues as House race heats up ill Education top issue for Darby By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Robert M. “Bob" Darby, the Republican Party candidate for the 31st District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, knows exactly where he will focus his energies if elected in November. He wants to be appointed to the General Assembly’s Education Committee as well as to find areas in which to cut spending throughout the state budget. “In the long run, if I could do something for our public school system, that would be something I’d like to accomplish,” said Mr. Darby, a retired businessman who moved with his wife Tnsh and daughter Ann to Millwood Farm in Woodville 4'/2 years ago. Anticipating a potential fight in Richmond between “poor” school districts and “rich” ones, Mr. Darby said he would fight to maintain Rappahannock, Warren and Fauquier’s fair share of state funds. “My understanding,” said Mr. Darby, “is that (membership on the Education Committee) is not hotly contested. Maybe they think it is boring.” When he meets the public, the 54-year-old candidate talks about public education, but he also hammers home his deep concern with the state’s financial problems. In an interview this week he said that starting with the Baliles Administration, state government has diverted funds to make the budget picture look better than in fact it really is. He cited raids on Lottery revenues, the Literary Fund, and public employee pension monies as examples of the Democrat’s “smoke and mirrors” budget. Although he won’t “take the read-my-lips, no-new-taxes pledge,” said Mr. Darby, he vows to “resist tax increases and look for ways to cut state spending. ” Manpower, he said, is where he would start, citing the 2,900-employee increase in the state payroll since the start of the Wilder Administration (for a total of 105,000 state workers). I m going to look for cuts in state staffing,” he said, as well as for any viable cuts in the budget. On the volatile issue of abortion rights, Mr. Darby’s platform has two elements: the personal and the public-policy. On a personal level, he said, he opposes abortion and believes “the unborn have life, that taking a life is wrong and therefore abortion is wrong except in the case of rape, incest or threat to the .mother’s life.” But he would not make abortion a crime, saying criminalization “would not be a solution to the problem.” Educating young people “to take responsibility for their acts” would be his public-policy choice of action.

( .Bob Darby Mr. Darby also supports parental notification for girls under age 18 before an abortion can be performed. He wants to fight a proposed state move that would transfer the costs of Constitutional officers such as sheriff, Commonwealth’s attorney and commissioner of the revenue to localities. “I’m going to Richmond to resist tax increases on the constituents in my district,” he said. He favors granting to counties the taxing authority currently given to cities and towns (on meals, cigarettes, etc.) but opposes the “revolutionary effects” that overturning the Dillon Rule would, he said, bring about. The Dillon Rule, unique among states to Virginia, retains for state government all powers not expressly granted to counties and cities. I m concerned it could bring us more problems than it would solve,” said Mr. Darby, citing a U.Va. study indicating that the Dillon Rule did not keep localities from being as powerful as they are in other states without the rule. The candidate would vote in favor of elected school boards, but w'ould not necessarily try to get Rappahannock, Fauquier or Warren included as special exceptions under current law as counties permitted to elect their boards. On the subject of land use and development controls, Mr. Darby said he looks for a middle ground between competing interests. He favors some checks on development while at the same time saying “developers and builders have a legitimate right to pursue their business.” He added that environmentalists in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Warren too have a “legitimate interest” in preserving the area’s considerable natural resources. But the candidate doesn’t see it as a “good guys vs. bad guys question” (his words), rather as “competing interests.” “In this day and age, developers do have an impact,” he said, allowing that local governments should be permitted “to ask for help” in the form of “development exactions.” Proffers, he said, are “an imperfect system,” and transferable development rights (TDRs) are “confusing” and to be workable would have to allow transfers across jurisdictional lines. Instead of proffers and TDRs, Mr. Darby would prefer impact fees: “The concept of impact fees is the concept we’re going to be relying on.” “To have a workable impact fee system you have to have some idea of the impacts on various things, and you have to make sure the price would reflect those costs,” said Mr. Darby. Asked about the considerable lobbying efforts made in Richmond by the various builders’ groups, Mr. Darby said his only concern will be the “65,000 people in the 31st District. “I’m a captive to no special interest group,” he said. He said Rappahannock County fails to get its fair share of transportation funds, and would try to obtain “more influence in timing and positioning” of transportation projects. Asked about crime and drugs, the candidate answered that his major concern was with repeat offenders. He added that several potential constituents expressed relief that neither Mr. Darby nor Jerry Wood, the Democratic Party candidate, are lawyers. My principal concern is the repeat offenders ... so much of the crime is done by them,” he said, adding that rehabilitation hasn't worked. “We need to find a way to keep them off the street. ” Family Life Education, the public schools’ sex ed program, has his support. “I believe our school administrations in all three counties have worked it through very well,” he said. Detailed studies on the program should be undertaken in the future to test its effectiveness and value, he said. Gov. Wilder, he said, has “chutzpah,” but he added it “may be his weakness too.” The governor’s mix of social liberalism and fiscal conservatism, said Mr. Darby, is “an oxymoron,” and while he finds Gov. Wilder personally "an impressive man,” he predicted his presidential campaign will fail after the press looks deeper into Virginia’s fiscal mess.

Mr. Wood noted that more than half of the workforce in Fauquier County commutes to Northern Virginia, and citizens involved in such commutes overwhelmingly say that transportation is the most important issue for them. He said that Fauquier belongs to the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance, and he believes that the members of that alliance should form a regional transportation authority to build a regional network with an emphasis on mass transit. “I’m against the Western Bypass," he added. On the problems of drugs and crime, Mr. Wood said the nation and state have been trying to concentrate resources on catching the major dealers. Mr. Wood does not believe that has had much effect on the problem and he said he would favor concentrating more on mandatory-sentences for the drug pusher on the street. “I think you have to start at the bottom and work up,” he said. Mr. Wood said he sees the problems caused by drugs regularly in his business as a pharmacist. “We need better procedures for handling people who need rehabilitation and better follow-up with those people,” he said. “We have to get all of society involved in it," he added, saying he believes these issues will receive major attention in the next session of the General Assembly. Mr. Wood said he is opposed to the legislature granting any tax increases and he also opposes the General Assembly giving more taxing authority to the counties. Currently there are several taxes which towns and cities can enact by vote of their governing bodies. For example, towns and cities can enact mealsand-lodging taxes and taxes on cigarettes. For counties to enact such taxes, they have to hold referendums. Mr. Wood said rather than allow counties to enact such taxes Jerry Wood without referendums, he would favor requiring referendums in towns and cities. On land use issues, however, he would like to see the counties have more authority. He said such things as impact fees, transferable development rights, and zoning issues should be a matters of local option. “1 believe anything that has to do with land use should be solved at the local level,” he said. “I would not like to have somebody from Wise County decide what we can have in Rappahannock, Fauquier or Warren.” On the Dillon Rule, which limits the authority of local governments, Mr. Wood said, “I’m not for repeal pf the Dillon Rule, but I am interested in ways to modify it when it comes to land use and education.” Mr. Wood said he has not decided yet whether the state formula for funding education should be changed. He said the whole question of how to get more money for education is "really tough.” He expects the budget to be the major issue in the General Assembly in the coming session. He said he feels Virginia is in better shape than many other states, but he does not see any immediate improvement. Mr. Wood said in the Fauquier Pharmacy he has been through several recessions, but none has been as deep as the current one. He has no suggestions for cuts in the state budget. He noted that education, health, safety, and transportation take up 86 cents of every dollar in state funds, leaving little room for cuts. While Mr. Wood has no quarrel with the way the governor and General Assembly handled the budget issue, he does question Gov. Wilder’s decision to run for the Presidency. “As I’m travelling the countryside, I’m hearing people saying the governor ought to be home taking care of business,” he said. Mr. Wood said he would oppose any move to force localities to pick 1st Annual Rappahannock County Antique Show and Sale September 28th & 29th, 1991 Rappahannock County Elementary School Route 211, Washington, Virginia Quality Merchandise-NO REPRODUCTIONS Benefit of Child Care and Learning Center H°U12p.ma To5p.mP:Wilyrday ^ Bird 9:30a-m- tollyruSa^rday Tickets: Regular Admission *3.50 _ Dealers: Some Space Available 8x10 *75; Set-up Friday Night 5-9p.m.; All Spaces Indoors Food - Restroom on Premises More Info, contact: Charles A Wilson, Thistle I lill/Wilson's Antiques _Route 1 Box 291, Boston, Va 22713 • (703) 987-9142 up more of the cost of the constjfutional officers and their office expenses. “I’m against state mandates to the localities not accompanied with monies,” he said. On abortion Mr. Wood said he $ . He is “not in favor of abortions personally except for rape or incest, but that is the most private decision a person could have to make, and tjie person should make that choipe without the government in the way.” Mr. Wood said he is in favor of elected school boards and is comfortable with family life education as long as parents can choose whether or not their children participate. On environmental issues, tyjr. Wood said he is in favor of bills toijequire clean air and water. “That is very important," he said. “Man,.if you let him, will get by with something,” he said, noting that he had recently heard about large corporations leaving an “incredible” mess behind in Antarctica. He has observed the mess alaag the district's highways. “A lot is r>pt bottles and cans,” he said. “Thfpe are mattresses and diapers.” ; He noted that he participates in recycling at his pharmacy and pays a litter tax. However, he said he has not read a "bottle bill” he could sqpport. He said all the bottle bills he has seen would impose “hardships" on businesses. (l On the current issue of how localities will be able to get rid of septage now that it is no longer legal to spread it on land, Mr. Wood said he wanted to do more research before taking a stand. “For health reaspps I'm opposed to openly spreading it,” he said. He added he did not expect much help from the state for upgrading sewer systems to handle septage. : Mr. Wood said he supports the state’s "right to work” law and the death penalty. He believes “in the right to bear arms” and thinks the current law requiring instant criminal background checks on gun purchasers is working and should be left alone. Mr. Wood said if he is elected Jie would like to serve on the budget and finance committees but realizes that the members of those committees have years of seniority in th*1 legislature. He said with his background he would hope to be appointed to the Health, Welfare and Institutions Committee. He said he is not generally in favor of more laws. “I believe that Hie less government is the best goveJnSee WOOD, p.

Editorial UP ' ■ 1 Environmentalism * Both gentlemen running for the 31st District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates are articulate, knowledgeable aT)d—if it isn’t too soon to tell for sure—sincere in their desire 10 represent Rappahannock, Fauquier and Warren counties fiurly and honestly. We should be grateful, considering some of the politicians who hold elective office in this country, that we have what amounts to a can’t-lose choice to make. And neither is a lawyer—if that isn’t enough to be thankful for we don’t know what is. Z Both Bob Darby and Jerry Wood, however, share a weakness on environmental issues. Mr. Wood, a businessman, has never seen a bottle bill that balances, in his mind, business interests with the public good. Mr. Darby, a Republican, ought to find his party’s inaction (especially nationally) on issues such a§ international population control, ozone depletion, energy conservation and its shameful stewardship of the EPA beyond the pale. •" The two candidates will both be attending a forum sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protifliction this week, and we hope one or both can reassure our misgivings on this issue. There is much left to be said about tJje environment and we hope they will start saying it. Perhaps they are reading this editorial thinking it unfair, that they do see the problem as monumentally important, as we do. $e hope so. « Abortion rights has become the one issue that swings thousands of votes by itself in races wrhere the two candidates hjive sharply different positions. On that issue, Mr. Darby and Mr. Wood sound very similar. But many in the Northern Piedmont share our belief that preserving the environment ought t& be that one issue that decides elections. Mr. Wood, Mr. Darby and the many other candidates running for election in this area have plenty of time to present a clear vision of what tjjey will do to lead public policy on cleaning up our w orld. Let tllem start at the forum in Rappahannock this week. POINT OF LIGHT i ^„f the"- di-o^ **^“n's of f?nO»*« C^°° i' jenai'°"J v thr^ 'n^ > raVf . farineri^js53r(>;-"s -qr^TT.tMnf rsavr , w- bean y d**1 Letters Ball teams and money To the Editor After reading the article, “Supervisors" in the Rappahannock News Sept. 12, I feel compelled to respond on behalf of the Rappahannock Athletic Association (RAA). The discussion taking place between the supervisors may lead some to believe the RAA was in some way responsible for the fact the Rappahannock Soccer League did not receive any funds from the financial support of $2,000 given us last year. At the time we received the funds the only thing asked of the RAA wras it be used tow’ard the purchase of equipment. This was done, and the proper paperwork was given. Later we were approached by a representative from the soccer league as to whether they were to receive some of the money. We asked John McCarthy, the county administrator, to check on this for us, and he informed us the record showed the request and the vote by the Board of Supervisors indicated the financial assistance was to go to the Rappahannock Athletic Association. I would also like to make clear another misconception. The 250 children registered to play baseball in the RAA youth baseball program live in Sperryville, Woodville, Washington, Flint Hill, Castleton, and Chester Gap, as well as Amissville. The children play baseball in two locations, Stuart Field in Amissville and Pullen Memorial Field in Sperryville. This last season we spent $3,446 in field improvements at Pullen and $3,454 at Stuart. The RAA is a county-wide youth baseball program. Anyone who has been involved with any children’s sports activity will understand how expensive they are to run. Insurance, safety equipment, and field maintenance are just part of the expenses that are incurred. With an annual budget of approximately $20,000, the RAA was very appreciative of the financial assistance the county gave last year. i know it to be true that in the county’s baseball and soccer programs, there are alot of people who have worked hard for many years to provide these much-needed children’s activities. As a mother with three boys that play baseball and two of the three playing soccer, I understand the importance of healthy constructive activities to keep children busy. I think both organizations deserve the county’s and community’s recognition and support. I believe the supervisors’ discussion served only to alienate the two organizations and further divide our community interests as residents of Rappahannock County. Our children see no boundary lines, they play with and against each other in soccer and baseball then walk off the field friends. CHERYL DIGGES Amissville Darby on impact fees To the Editor: The text of your reporter’s story on my convention was thorough and accurate. It is unfortunate that the headline writer failed to understand the context of my statement on the local economic situation and the accompanying remark on impact fees. My position on impact fees is this: I agree with the concept of impact fees as a method of mitigating the effects of development upon the community, provided that the fees are proportioned to the impact on costs for additional facilities and services, and provided that the benefits of these additional facilities and services are distributed proportionally to the development and the community at large. The subject of impact fees and other types of development transfers is extremely important, and I intend to make sure that it gets plenty of attention between now and election day. BOB DARBY Woodville Semantic battling To the Editor: Your faithful, eternal, endless correspondent, Edith Pond, seems to be stuck on the meaning of certain words. By the simple expedient of consulting the dictionary (Random House, 2nd ed., unabr., 1987), one can find not only help but also resuscitation. Ergo: “Liberal—favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs . . . favorable to or Rappahannock Heritage Rappahanmxk News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Fannie Boyls of Sperry ville shows off her prize crop of honey mushrooms. in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties . . free from prejudice or bigotry' . . . open-minded or tolerant. . . characterized by generosity and willingness to give in large1 amounts. “Syn. progressive, broadminded, unprejudiced, beneficent, charitable, openhanded.” If one is ultra-liberal, it would appear that he or she is all of the above, in spades. “Conservative—disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change . . . cautiously moderate or purposefully low.” While the dictionary gives no synonyms for conservative, it would seem to be appropriate (since conservative is opposed to liberal) to use liberal’s antonyms for this purpose. Thus, the synonyms for conservative should be: “reactionary, intolerant, niggardly.” It is to be hoped that the above will help Mrs. Pond get a handle on these matters. LEE BIRD Washington The Red menace To the Editor: “Communism is dead” we are being told, but is it really? Lenin and every Communist Party leader since have always stated that the world should be conquered through socialism and this remains the plan even as the Communists manipulate and control events from behind the scenes. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, the liberalization in Eastern Europe, the independence of the Baltic states and the break-up of the Soviet Union were not brought about by spontaneous rebellion of oppressed people but by the deliberate plans of the Communist leaders. Their purposes are to soften the image of Comrhu nism, receive massive economic and technical aid from the U.S. and further disarm the U.S. The present spectacular changes occurring in the Communist world were predicted over six years ago by Anatoliy Golitsyn, former high KGB official. The goal is still a “New World Order” as envisioned by President Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev and the power group they represent. How do you feel about paying more taxes to support a totalitarian, socialist one-world government? DR. JAMES B. HUTT JR. Warrenton 'What a crock' To the Editor: I see by the papers than one of the supporters of George Allen, the Republican candidate for Congress from the 7th District, has said that “to get the federal budget under control we are going to have to elect moderate to conservative legislators such as George Allen to Congress.” What kind of idiots does he think we are? Del. Allen has spent nine years in Richmond without noticeable effect on budgets or taxes. His “conservative” leaders, Reagan and Bush, promised us in 19H0 that they would cut taxes, improve defense, and balance the budget. They cut taxes for the rich, threw money at defense, submitted a budget every single year that was hundreds of billions out of balance, and tripled the national debt. Now we are asked to believe that young George Allen would arrive in Washington, announce that he is “moderate to conservative” and “get the federal budget under control.” What a crock! AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria, Va. Who should judge Miller? To the Editor: Question: Who can best judge the effectiveness of an elected representative? Answer: His or her constituents; the friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens of the district the legislator is representing. Margaret Haynes has made statements that Sen. Kevin Miller is ineffective in the General Assembly of Virginia. The “evidence” she uses is a poll taken by the Virginian-Pilot, a Tidewater newspaper, made up of re sponses from only the Democratic members of the General Assembly, agency heads and officials of the Democratic administration, lobbyists who are mostly Democrats, and news reporters. No Republican members participated. For the past four years, Sen. Miller has served as Senate minority whip with the primary responsibility of seeing to it that the Republicans stick together in voting for, or against, measures in keeping with the Republican philosophy. His low rating by the Democrats should be regarded as proof of his effectiveness in causing the defeat of some of the liberal bills introduced by the Democrats. If there has ever been a time we need to return Sen. Miller to the General Assembly and to elect more Republicans, it is now! We have had enough of the arrogance of one-party government. With their redistricting plan, they have shown us an example of how far they will go to protect their power. The real poll will be taken on Nov. 5, when I trust a great majority of the voters of the 26th Senate District will express their approval of the fine job that Sen. Miller has been doing in Richmond by sending him back for a third term. CARROLL DELLINGER Dayton, Va. Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

Fall political forum sponsored by RLEP Fall is upon us, and so is the 1991 election season. A special program featuring many of the candidates for offices affecting Rappahannock will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Child Care and Learning Center. All candidates for major offices have been invited, and several confirmed. Candidates Jerry Wood and Robert Darby, running for the 31st District seat in the state House of Delegates, have agreed to participate in the event, sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP). Margaret Haynes, Democratic candidate for the 25th District state Senate seat, has also agreed to participate in the candidates’ forum. Her opponent, Republican incumbent Sen. Kevin Miller, had not responded by press time. Neither of the candidates for the 26th Senatorial District are able to attend: Ed Robb and Thomas Michie. The candidates for the 7th District Congressional race, Kay Slaughter and George Allen, have also been invited, and may be able to attend. The candidates’ forum is open to all interested persons. Candidates will give short prepared statements, and then answer questions from the audience. It is expected that an emphasis will be placed on environmental issues facing this area, but all other campaign issues are also subjects for discussion. RLEP was organized in 1970 to fight a proposed powerline planned to cut through the county. It was successful in that engagement, and went on to develop into a multi-issue conservation organization, dedicated to protection of natural resources and encouragement of responsible growth policies. RLEP regularly monitors local government meetings, and works with local officials on matters of public concern. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to support the goads of the organization; a regular newsletter is published for the membership. For more information about the candidates’ forum or RLEP, please call 987-3155. The Child Care and Learning Center is located on U.S. 211-522, just west of Washington. Refreshments will be served. CGLC offers classes on effective parenting By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC) is offering a monthly program on effective parenting. The free one-hour course, offered at 7 p.m. on each second Thursday for the next eight months, is held at the school on U.S. 211-522 at Washington, Va. There are no texts, no charge. Handouts, if necessary, are provided by the center. Guest speakers relating to specific topics will speak. “We hope to be able to have some discussion and, in the end, develop a parental support group,” CCLC executive director Rose Ann Sharp said, adding this group provides a way for “parents to get to know other parents, to share ideas and stories.” Mrs. Sharp said the course lets parents know “they are not alone and their child is not unlike other children.” Topics for the next several months include: stress of parenting, developmentally appropriate activities for pre-school children, nutrition and development for infants to five years, childproofing the home, language developmertt of the preschooler, discipline and behavior management of young children and others. “If the group shows an interest in a topic,” then a new topic will be added to the list, said Mrs. Sharp CCLC was one of the few c aycare centers in the state to rec' ive funding for this program. The course is made available to the school through a grant from Virginia Family Violence Prevention. Dems plan fundraiser The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee has announced that its annual fall fundraiser will be held at Montpelier, home of James W. Fletcher, at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 5. Guests will include Kay Slaughter, Democratic candidate for Congress, Margaret Haynes and Tom Michie, Democratic candidates for the state senate and Jerry Wood, Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates. County Democratic Chairman Doug Baumgardner, in announcing the date and location for the Democratic fundraiser, expressed his gratitude to Jim Bill Fletcher for making Montpelier available to the Democratic Party. “Montpelier is a site of historical significance in Virginia and Rappahannock County, and it is appropriate that as Democrats embark on a campaign to re-take the 7th Congressional District, that we hold this function at this site,” said Mr. Baumgardner. “The 7th District has provided political leadership to Virginia and America since colonial times, and Montpelier has been a V American Heart Association ROGER CORDANI V o T E 1 9 9 1 FOR SHERIFF OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTV ■y^W'X’-VXvy.V.V.'.V-V-V■'•■••••• .v.v.v.

He further noted that the 1991 Democratic ticket is attracting broad support throughout this geographic area and that traditionally conservative Virginia Democrats, in particular, are expressing a strong interest in supporting the party’s ticket in this fall’s elections. A contribution to the party of $10 will be accepted from those attending the fundraiser.

Literacy group marks birthday County chapter holds its annual meeting The county’s literacy group, LVA Rappahannock, will be one year old on Saturday, Sept. 28. Since the first meeting of 36 charter members a year ago, the volunteers have been working with adult students in the county in a number of ways. The annual meeting of members, open to all, will be held in the Rappahannock Courthouse at 10 a.m. on Sept. 28. Those attending will hear a report on the group’s activities during the past year and elect three new directors and three to fill expiring terms. The highlight of the meeting will be an address by David Smith, principal of Rappahannock Elementary, who will discuss the efforts now under way in the school to help children who are at-risk. In its first year of existence, LVA Rappahannock has been busy, and it has been growing steadily. A year ago, the group had eight tutors, with four in training, and only two students. Today, it has 17 tutors, with two more in training, and 12 students. In addition, it has an active GED (high school equivalency diploma) program, which meets each Wheat support loans available Price support loans are available for 1991 wheat. A price support loan provides immediate cash for farmers and allows them sufficient time to make important marketing decisions or to hold the grain for feeding later. mm , \M off _ QtOS^' C£ f'^P " V—’'itylM 'S'i*'t1h ®e "v° 55^ ^°to 'sas**1 S^' *91 Ply.

Last November, the Region Six Literacy Coordinating Committee sponsored a Community Assessment Forum (CAF) attended by local officials from all the county offices, as well as by members of the public. The CAF met from noon to 5 p.m. at the Trinity Church parish house in Washington, Va., to consider how to address the needs of those in the county who have been less well educated, and the facilities presently available to assist in this effort. With the leadership and cooperation of County Administrator John McCarthy, county officers have been referring students to LVA Rappahannock where appropriate. Several of the students are inmates at the County Jail. The completion of the new library brings LVA Rappahannock’s occupation of a basement room for literacy activities close to reality. Since the room was originally planned for use merely as storage space, there is considerable fitting out to be done. A start has been made by installing the duct work that will supply the space with heating and air conditioning. Also, the group has most of the furnishings it will need, and sufficient funds are on hand to complete the work this fall, thanks to the successful fundraising campaigns conducted the past two years and the generous cooperation of the Library Board. The public is invited to join LVA Rappahannock on Sept. 28 to hear Mr. Smith and celebrate the group’s first birthday. They need the community’s continuing interest and support. x For more information call Lee Bird at 675-3263. Wakefield Country Day competes Only a week after being voted into the Delaney Conference the new Wakefield Country Day School fielded two teams in conference games with Word of Life School on Sept. 13. The school that had been founed on the Huntly site 19 years ago by William and Pamela Lynn split in August leaving much doubt as to whether either school would have enough students to field teams. President Dr. Alan Saunders of the Wakefield School that moved to Marshall had sent letters to conference members in late August notifying them that his school would be unable to field teams this year. Jim Harris at the newly reorganized Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly, when questioned by league members indicated that his school would be able to take over the abandoned schedule of games. On Sept. 5, Wakefield County Day School was unanimously voted into the Delaney Conference, which the Lynn’s school had been a charter member of in 1984. Founded to honor the late Joe Delaney of the Kansas City Chiefs, who died trying to rescue the second of two drowning boys, the league is currently made up of 10 area, schools. Leading Wakefield Country Day’s soccer team, formed only three days before, was Bobby Nelson of Front Royal, who was all-conference and voted to the first team in both soccer and basketball last year. With the help of novice goalie Oliver Culley of Summit Point, W. Va., the fledgling team held its opponents, Word of Life, to a mere one point victory, finishing 4-3. Coach Matt VanderWoude was pleasantly surprised by his young team’s strength, especially its four distaff players, Courtney and Laura Beeton, Debbie Logie, and Caroline Brandt. “If they play well, they play,” Mr. VanderWoude commented on the choice of girls as starters. Caroline Brandt joined the game late coming from the earlier finishing volleyball game that ran concurrently. Wakefield Country Day School’s novice team did not have the same luck on the volleyball court losing 3-0 to Word of Life. However, Wakefield’s greenhorns enjoyed their first game and vowed to imitate their opponent’s serving prowess. All observers commented that if the teams showed such promise after a mere three days practice, the season could be an exceptional one. Wakefield School says, "Thanks!” IN/Iarshall Manor never had such a busy day, happy and lively with the arrival of 150 students, 35 teachers and staff, and dozens of parents dropping off children for their first day of school, September 9. Each of us in the Wakefield Family is thankful for the bright, new, carpeted and air-conditioned classrooms... Thankful for the safe, clean, efficient new quarters at Marshall Manor and the cooperation of its administration and staff... Thankful for all the work that parents, faculty and staff put in during the summer. Wakefield also says, "Thanks" to The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, The Fauquier County Planning Commission, The County Administrator's Office, The Department of Community Development and Comprehensive Planning, and The Department of Zoning for their patience, their expert help and their warm welcome. To the residents and businesses of Marshall, Virginia, whose daytime population has jumped by almost 200, Wakefield says, ’Thanks!" And to architect Albert P. Hinckley, Jr. ALA and his staff, attorneys Glenn Sedam and Lorie O'Donnell, engineers James H.

Hospice volunteer comforts the dying Z By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nc»» Staff Writer Sid Gottleib is getting a great ■deal of satisfaction from working as a volunteer with patients for the Hospice of the Rapidan. The Hospice of the Rapidan provides services for patients with terminal illnesses in Rappahannock, ^Culpeper, Madison and Orange i-counties. The hospice usually be"bomes involved when the medical ^prognosis is that the patient has six ^months to live, Mr. Gottleib said. He •added that this can be “highly inacnnirate.” His first patient lived for a Tyear and a half. 1. A team, consisting of a nurse, a ^social worker, and a coordinator of volunteers visits the patient and his r«r her family. “We don’t come in unless the patient agrees he needs hospice care,” Mr. Gottleib said. “ The hospice then works to match • the patient with a volunteer who will make home visits. Mr. Gottleib said he has worked with 12 patients since he started in 1984, and since he is one of the few volunteers who is a man, nine of his patients have been men. He said the hospice has three goals: “to give the patient as much control over his life until the day he dies as he wants and can handle, to keep him free from pain, and to guarantee that he won’t die alone.” a The hospice has no physical facility. Most of the patients die at ► home, but area hospitals have set reside rooms for hospice patients for £those who prefer a hospital. He said the hospice has been ■every successful with pain relief. IT Many patients who are afraid of dyUTing are chiefly afraid of pain, he said. ~?We keep up with the latest in pain ■^control,” he said. “In none of my •leases has the patient died in great r.pain.” 1^. Mr. Gottleib said he felt “drawn” n'to his work with the hospice. “I •thought about dying, and I think 'about how unready we are,” he said. £1 realized I could learn about myself and my own forthcoming experience.” He added, “Having been in it, it’s nothing like what people think. It’s nothing like a periodic encounter with what you most dread. You have two people dealing with each other in a very special way. It’s very much a two-way street.” Septage ' Continued from page A-1 He said PEC had formally re- quested the SWCB to include a chapter on “how to take care of septage” in its plan. “This is a tragedy in every jurisdiction,” Mr. Dennis said. “It’s a regional problem.” , “I would like to know why the facilities are not available to this county and other counties,” Mr. Dennis said. “There are all sorts of questions that ought to be asked. A couple of governors and two Secretaries of Natural Resources have dropped the ball. It’s frustrating, for five years we’ve tried to deal with the state agencies, and they hide their heads under the carpet.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham suggested that Planning District 9 should be directed to come up with a plan. The supervisors agreed to ask Col. Bingham to bring the issue up at his next meeting with the Planning District. County Administrator John McCarthy suggested the supervisors could also refer the problem to the county’s Water and Sewer Authority to see if the Sperryville sewage ^treatment plant could handle the [^•county’s septage. Piedmont District representative Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Sid Gottleib’s travels took him to Arkansas and India. Mr. Gottleib said most of his work is very mundane. “You do whatever a very good friend would do from going to the bank to cash checks to helping fill out paperwork,” he said. Mr. Gottleib was born and raised in New York City. He attended school there. “At that time it was the finest public school system in the world,” he said. He started college at City College of New York and then transferred to Arkansas Polytechnic College in Russellville. He had gotten a book from the public li Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked Mr. McCarthy how many gallons of septage he was talking about. Mr. Estes serves on the WSA. Mr. McCarthy estimated that 2,500 Rappahannock households use septic tanks. He said that they probably average 1,500 gallons. The Health Department recommends that they be pumped every three to five years, he said, but many people don’t have them pumped that often. He said that this might mean one or two tanks per day being pumped into the Sperryville plant. Mr. Estes said that the SWCB and the Health Department won’t consider a plan without an engineering study. “Will you be willing to fund an engineering study?” he asked. Col. Bingham again suggested that the problem should be solved on a regional basis through PD-9. “Let them run their gamut before we spend our resources,” he said. Mr. McCarthy said both Culpeper and Fauquier counties were negotiating with firms to provide plans to upgrade sewer treatment plants to handle their own septage. “We have been talking about handling ours on a per load basis, but until they determine their costs, no one will talk to us,” he said. He said he felt it would not be economical for Rappahannock to try to upgrade the Sperryville plant to handle the county’s septage.

He later got a bachelor’s degree in agricultural chemistry from the University of Wisconsin and a doctorate in bio-organic chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. While he was at Caltech, he met and married his wife- Margaret. Even then he was interested in country dancing and met her at a dance. She volunteered to help him demonstrate a polka. After graduation the Gottleibs moved to the Washington, D.C. area and he worked for several different government agencies, ending up with 22 years at the CIA. They lived in Vienna, Va., and raised four children. After he retired in 1973, they sold everything they had and “trav ROGER CORDANI V o T E 1 9 9 1 FOR SHERIFF OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Community Service Oriented Paid Advertisement and Authorized by: Cordani for Sheriff Campaign Committee Keith Lamm - Treasurer. elled the world for a few years.” They were in Australia, Africa and India. In India Mr. Gottleib found himself running a hospital while the administrator was on a sabbatical. He was called back to this country to testify at the Church Committee hearings on his activities in the CIA. Then the Gottleibs moved again to California and he studied to be a speech pathologist at San Jose State. “We decided we didn’t like California,” he said. They returned to Virginia and bought and built Blackwater Homestead in Rappahannock in the Castleton area. They started the Rappahannock Speech and Learning Center. Mr. Gottleib works as a speech therapist under contract with Culpeper public schools two days a week and sees some private patients. Mrs. Gottlieb works with adults and children with learning problems. They are both involved with the Rappahannock County Country Dancers, a group that performs at the Washington Fourth of July and Colonial Christmas celebrations. Mr. Gottleib was one of the founders of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and its first president. Now he is ort the board of Ki Theater and helps with fundraising. However, the volunteer activity which gives him the most satisfaction now is his work with the hospice. He has a patient now in Orange County he is working with as a speech therapist because of an operation for a brain tumor. Because he practices meditation he worked with one patient who wanted to learn to meditate. “I like the work,” he said. “I look forward to every patient. They are all different.” The Hospice of the Rapidan is looking for volunteers to take training Oct. 14, 15 and 17 in Culpeper. Tina Weaver, director of the hospice, says they always need both volunteers and money. “We have patients we aren’t able to assign a volunteer to,” she said. Call 703-825-4840 to arrange to take the training. “The training is fantastic,” Mr. Gottleib said. “They train you for life, not just the hospice.” Ni Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Indian tent offered Earthstory participants a quiet place to escape during the two weeks of educational seminars. Ecology Continued from page A-1 better.” One of the elements to the Earthstory in Rappahannock was a “shamanic journey,” a hike featuring drumming that was designed to show participants how they are connected to the animal kingdom. Last Friday several group members conducted a Council of All Beings with a reporter from National Public Radio present. The Council consists of masked participants sitting in a circle and taking on the character of various forms of life (and other physical phenonomena). On Friday the anthropomorphized “beings” included microphagi, a grizzly bear, soil, the cow, the fox, the “forgotten places” (dead rivers, clear cut forests, etc.), the whale and others. Each being, speaking through the actor, would voice its concern for the problems man has caused for its environment. The final workshop, “Gender and Deep Ecology,” was scheduled to be finished on Wednesday, ending the retreat. Mr. Harris said he and others from Rappahannock were changed forever by the experience.

SHARE helps consumers where it counts By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Just two hours a month of good deeds could help you reduce your grocery budget by several dollars. Self-Help Resource Exchange (SHARE), an international program, is helping people help people in the county—with food as a reward. “There’s a lot ($ people that make SHARE happen,” Rappahannock coordinator Nan McEvoy said. With 20 working projects in the world, the SHARE group provides one monthly bag of groceries for those who can validate their good deeds for a month. “And, the thing that is so great about this is that the focus is not on the food but on people helping people," said the Flint Hill woman, adding she first attended a meeting at the county high school on SHARE hoping to cut corners on her own food budget. SHARE, an organization founded by a Catholic diocese in southern California (though in no way related to or governed by religious groups), is five months old in Rappahannock County with over 40 members and growing. “It’s mainly a middle class type of thing now,” said the coordinator, adding it has yet to reach many in the community that could benefit from its rewards—extra food. The rewarded bag of groceries costs the Good Samaritan a mere $13, though it has a value of $25 to $30. To participate in SHARE, interested persons sign up at area Town Council Continued from page A-1 partment could order that the water and sewer system not be used until the problem is corrected. Ms. Harris said, “These systems work better than drainfields. . . .The chances of standing effluent from malfunctioning drainfields is much higher than from malfunctioning package treatment. Other properties have not had their drainfields tested for years. . . .The stance of the Health Department is that it won’t inspect until a neighbor complains.” Mrs. Willis said, “I’d like to set your minds at ease. It’s not a lifetime agreement, but it’s been satisfactory. If it is up to us, you will not have to put in a package plant.” 1 Mr. Foster coluntered, “We “don’t have total assurance. We’d like to have some option.” Council member Ray Gooch said, “What I’m hearing is that the house is on the market, but it’s not marketable.

Sign-up is three times per month with locations posted in the Rappahannock News prior to sign-up. Delivery is made in the county at designated spots. “It’s two hours monthly, minimum” Ms. McEvoy said of the needed hours of community service. “Though we have received slips validating two to 12 hours per month,” she said, explaining when the hours are completed the receiver of the deed confirms the work by signing the slip. “There are so many kinds of deeds you can do,” Ms. McEvoy said, adding “volunteerism is so terrific out here. People are probally participating and don’t know' it.” Community serivce offers a broad spectrum of activites the person could chose from. Ms. McEvoy explained one example of community service is a mother of five who worked with her children two hours a month to clean the roadway. Picking up the trash is a community service while each child was given the pride and satisfaction in knowing they had helped with the overall grocery bill. Community service includes those who volunteer to clean the church, help at church functions, carnivals, or community events, those who babysit without pay for a grandchild, nephew or neighbors child, those who mow their neighbor’s lawn, those who offer a ride to or from the doctor’s office for an elderly relative, friend or neighbor, those who gather trash along the roadway, those who help to shingle an friend’s roof or offer service at nutrition sites, those who help at the animal shelter or the local library, those who help with elementary school classes, high school activities, or volunteer fire departments or those who assist with literacy volunteers. The list is endless. “People naturally do many of these things,” Ms. McEvoy said, adding community service includes such things as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, United Way volunteers or 4H activities. “It’s anything people do for other people and not get paid for,” she said. “Many people do these things without thinking ‘Wow, I could have gotten a food package,’ ” she said, adding now there is a reward of sorts for those who do help. But the food package, arriving once a month from Bladensburg, Md., does not have to support the doer of the deed. ‘They can give it away to someone who needs the food,” Ms. McEvoy said, adding many who do volunteer work may not need the extra food but can donate it to a family with need. “It’s about enough food to feed a family for a week,” she said, adding in July the grocery sack of food contained 15 items ranging from chicken to head lettuce to white potatoes to cheese danish to elbow pasta and fresh or boxed fruit. “The label on the jam may be upside down preventing it from going on a grocer’s shelf but there is nothing wrong with the contents,’’ she said, adding each month the bag is different. “You never know what you are going to get,” she said, adding it adds for creative cooking. “September is a really tough month for many people,” said the local coordinator, adding with school expenses, upcoming taxes, unemployment and pending holidays, “many could accept this as a way to stretch the budget.” “This is not a get and gimme sort of thing,” she said, adding some may think “this is welfare. It’s not.” “This is a way for people to break out of their isolation of feeling like they are the only ones hurting,” she said, adding “the community service offers a social aspect that pulls people together.” “This is a means to help,” she said, adding, each month all extra foods and groceries not received are given to Social Services, a program like this would be a great project for groups like 4-H or church groups. “Thirteen dollars is not alot of money for a group to put forth, and two hours of time is less,” she said, adding someone could receive help while another could be given the food. “Self-help is the key, here,” said Ms. McEvoy, adding “community service is a vital service in keeping a community together.” For more information on SHARE, contact Nan McEvoy at 675-3927. “Why do you need a limit?” Ms. Harris asked. Town treasurer Brad Fisher said, “I don’t think it would be prudent for any council to give an open ended commitment and lock other councils in.” Mr. Reynolds said the council, besides specifying the length of the permit, could require that it not be a spray irrigation system, that it be screened from the neighbors, and that it be abandoned if sewer becomes available. Ms. Harris agreed to specify they would use the multi-flow system, and the council decided to wait until next month to act on the application so members could try to find out more about the system. The Town Council also voted to remove the recycling bins at the site of the town well. Sid Berry, the county landowner who sold the town the land for the well, said the sale had been contingent on the town only using the property for a town well. Mr. Gooch, who has been handling recycling for the town, said the program will have to be stopped unless a site for recycling containers can be found in or near town. He said it was taking most of a day once a month to get a truckload of recyclables to the county recycling center at the landfill, and it is becoming more and more difficult to fit all the town’s recycled trash in one truckload. Allen Continued from page A-1 nation battle, will no doubt be a focus of the Allen campaign. Pointing out that he adopted the term “ultraliberal” from Winchester attorney Wilke Green, one of Ms. Slaughter’s opponents for the Democratic nomination, Del. Allen cited evidence of her liberal philosophy. (Ms. Slaughter, for her part, resists the ultra-liberal label, claiming fiscal prudence during her time on Charlottesville’s City Council. She is pro-choice and a staunch environmentalist, however, positions often associated with the liberal arm of the Democratic Party.) Del. Allen said Ms. Slaughter “looks for tax increases instead of spending restrictions” and pushed for a local income tax for Charlottesville, which he said went nowhere politically. “She seems to be for this national health insurance plan that is estimated to cost $250 billion,” said Del. Allen. He issued a position paper on health care this week that, among other things, called for “incentives for small employers, including the self-employed, to form groups to purchase health insurance.” Del.

Allen, that consists of a “fairly irresponsible statement.” He voiced concern that such a cut would undermine the soundness of the Social Security Trust Fund. He called it “distorted bookkeeping.” “It sounds wonderful but it’s not responsible in that it could very well harm the actuarial soundness of the Social Security Trust Fund," he charged. On other issues, Del. Allen said he opposes a proposed bill in Congress that would force employers to hire back striking workers and supports a line-item veto for President Bush. He also expounded on his vision of a “Workfare” propram, under which able-bodied adults who are on food stamps and who are not working at least 20 hours a week would be required to complete community service work to remain qualified for public assistance. “The problem is, we have a whole generation of people who believe the government owes them a living,” he said. Not all of the details of Workfare have been ironed out, said Del. Allen, including the question of transportation to and from the community service work for those living in remote areas. “There are local welfare boards and local governments that will want to make it work,” and fine-tune the idea, he said. “I certainly support (welfare) for those who can’t help themselves.

Darby Continued from page A-3 quier County, and with Andy Guest and Bill Howell, who represented most of Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren in the House last session. Del. Guest, the House minority leader, did an “A-plus” job representing the present-day 31st District, said Mr. Darby. Del. Guest obtained proffer power for Rappahannock, among other accomplishments Mr. Darby listed. “As minority leader he certainly kept the Republicans organized. I’m absolutely looking forward to working with him.” Mr. Darby said critics who say a Republican can’t have influence in the Democrat-dominated state legislature should look at the other side. “I think a new Democrat has no influence because the only choice Jerry will have is when (Democratic majority leader) Tom Moss tells him how to vote which hand he will hold up.” “Republicans,” he said, “are the voice of reason, particularly on budget issues.” Even though Republican initiatives don’t often get adopted in Richmond, they nonetheless have effect, he said. He promised to “come back to the district time after time and to meet with people, with groups,” filling them in on “what’s going on with their money and with legislative issues.” Wood Continued from page A-3 ment,” he said. However, he said he would be favor a law to automatically take away the driver’s license when a driver is charged with driving under the influence. He said 29 states have passed such laws and they have “reduced death due to drunk driving.” He said he would introduce such legislation if elected. On the redistricting process that created the new 31st District, Mr. Wood said he had been talking with members of civic organizations for years about redistricting and gerrymandering and “most were not interested.” He said that the 1980 redistricting had divided Fauquier County among three districts, and the cur those who really deserve it,” he said. Responding to attacks from Democrats that his General Assembly record has been less-than-notable, Del. Allen listed several legislative projects he has completed. He first introduced a measure to convert the assets of convicted drug dealers to law enforcement agencies in 1986, and although the Democratic state legislature pre-empted it and put a similar version, on the statewide ballot last fall (it passed overwhelmingly), he initiated the whole process and spent his own resources pushing for the ballot item around the state. In fact, he said, he spoke before the Rappahannock Lions Club at the School House Restaurant in Flint Hill on the subject last year. Other notable legislation he claims: a bill making it easier for merchants to prosecute check bouncers, immunity from liability for horse show sponsors and adding murder in the commission of an attempted armed robbery to the list of *.< tegular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 10 a.m„ Every Bull Run Arts & Crafts Festival Bull Run Regional Park - Special Events Center at Centreville, VA.

He said his; campaign was estimating it would need $75,000 to $80,000 for this election. “It’s disgusting to spend that type of money,” he added. * He said his Sept. 1 report showed about $20,000 raised and about $7,000 spent. He said he did not know how much had been raised and spent since, but estimated over $25,000 had been raised and “we’ve been spending quite a bit lately.” Mr. Wood said he was pleased with fundraising so far but was concerned that with so many races ip this election and the state of the economy fundraising might become a problem. capital offenses. He also fought to expand the list of weapons that are subject to criminal background checks. Del. Allen has also been on the campaign trail in support of a capital gains tax cut. “We need to cut the capital gains tax to encourage more investment and create more job opportunities. We need to act and make tough decisions (on the economy),” he said.

Colonial Christmas plans begin with play auditions Washington, Va.’s Sixth Annual Colonial Christmas is a time to share our colonial roots with one another. Although it may seem early to be planning for Christmas, one of the events this year is a play that will feature area residents in the large cast, and auditions take place in the Old Town Hall on Gay Street in Washington, £ p.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 29 and 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Sept. 30. When rich traditions and quaint charm of historic Washington come to life on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7 and 8, with candlelight tours, open houses at the shops and bed and breakfasts, colonial dancing in our “new” Town Hall, entertainment at the “old” Town Hall, craft demonstrations, and, of course, colonial menu’s on both days at the local restaurants. First person “character” and historic tours will take visitors and locals alike through the streets, to show off our proud heritage. Strolling carollers will bring back memories of Christmases past, or create new traditions. Numerous children s activities are on the program, from photos with Santa to gift making and perhaps even a puppet show. Out of town guests and local residents alike will be treated to refreshments at many stops around town during this community event. “We would like for the townspeople to participate,” said organizer Louise Van Dort. “We want everyone to know the preparations are under way and we need you. ” One of the highlights of the celebration will be the live entertainment in the form of a play. Efforts are underway under the joint sponsorship of the Town Council Celebrations Committee, the Washington Business Council and the Ki Theater, to produce a 14th Cen tury European nativity pageant entitled “The Shepherds Play.” It is a traditional nativity play with live music, dialogue, characters and singing. It was originally performed by farmers and their families at Christmas. In keeping with this tradition, auditions will be held, under the auspices of Ki Theatre, to draw a cast of 25 characters from singers, and musicians (string and wind instruments) and community members. The play will be rehearsed throughout the fall, and four performances are planned during Colonial Christmas weekend. Those auditioning will read from script materials provided the day of the audition. The director is Julie Portman, and music will be directed by Trapezoid’s Martha Sandefer. For audition details call Ki Theatre at 9873164. The true spirit of Christmas sharing is needed, in order to produce “The Shepherds Play.” Needed are artistic talents—as a character player, a singer, a musician, a costume maker, an usher or publicist. There is a place for everyone, from age 15 on up, interested in participating. Should expertise lie in the field of check writing, support is also sorely needed. As you can imagine, funding will be needed for costumes, lights, production equipment, publicity and programs. Contributions in any amount for this traditional “in the spirit of Christmas" event may be made to the “Shepherds Play Fund,” P.O. Box 203, Washington, Va. 22747. Look for further developments of our Community Colonial Christmas celebration, as the plans crystalize for these events, in the pages of the Rappahannock News.

Gallery opens in Warren Old building site of new institution The Windrow Galleries opened its doors to the public on Sept. 14, providing Front Royal with its only professional art gallery. Patricia Windrow, owner and operator of Windrow Galleries, and an award winning painter, said “It 1s surprising that an area as beautiful as Front Royal has had no full-time exhibition space until now. “I expect to exhibit my own work as well as that of invited artists. I hope to have up to eight exhibitions a year as well as occasional performing events such as concerts and readings,” she said. Ms. Windrow and her husband, Howard Klein, the former director for arts at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, bought and renovated the former Scott Hardware building at 401 East Main St. They converted it into a large gallery space, a studio, and two apartments. The studio will be used for classes of up to eight adult students per class. Unrenovated gallery spaces in the barn complex on High Street behind the main gallery, expand the exhibition area further. The three story Windrow Gallery building is a familiar Main Street structure, dating before 1885. (The 1885 map of Front Royal shows its existence. The barn and its adjacent structures show on later maps.) The renovation took almost seven months, beginning March 16. The building was in severe disrepair throughout. Complete rebuilding necessitated laying new floors, moving and creating new stairs and windows, new walls and ceilings, new plumbing and electricity. The building, with its facade of plain red brick and side and rear of yellow has been painted gray-mauve and trimmed in deep mauve, sky blue and ice blue-green. “These colors are what I see when I look at Front Royal skies and mountains,” said Ms. Windrow. The renovation was carried out by she and her son, Moondi Klein, 28, a bluegrass musician who has also renovated buildings in Washington, D.C. The opening exhibition is a retrospective of work by Ms. Windrow and includes more than 40 landscape, floral and surrealist oil palhtings, including recent works painted in Front Royal. Show focuses on Va., war history Last Saturday Warrenton’s fine art enthusiasts were treated to the opening of a new gallery on Main Street guaranteed to please collectors, especially those with an affection for the Virginia landscape and the Civil War. The Tharpe Collection, located at 2b Main St. at the site of the former Loveladies Antiques, opened its doors for a public preview featuring the works of well-known artists. The exhibition, entitled “Scenes of Virginia,” offers the works by Civil War artists Julian Scott, James Walker, James Hope and Capt. John Faye, an added bonus for regional collectors and history buffs. Photo courtesy K i Theatre Paul Reisler of Sperry ville is founder of Trapezoid. Trapezoid appears on Narada release Trapezoid, the nationally acclaimed musical group based in Rappahannock County, has recently had one of their compositions released on Narada/MCA Records. “Hawk,” written by Trapezoid’s founder Paul Reisler, appears on “A Childhood Remembered.” The pieces on this collection of instrumentals by various Narada recording artists were all inspired by stories from childhood. According to Mr. Reisler, “Narada has had great success with their thematic samplers. These collections feature special booklets with beautiful art work relating to each piece. The ‘Narada Wilderness Collection,’ which was released last year and includes a composition of mine written while trekking in Nepal, has sold several hundred thousand copies already and has been near the top of the charts since its release.” “ ‘Hawk’ was inspired by two different experiences,” said Mr. Reisler. “I wrote the original theme for the score of‘Hawk, I’m your Brother,’ which I perform in my work with Julie Portman of Ki Theatre. I expanded the theme into the instrumental, ‘Hawk,’ after coming upon a baby turkey vulture in an abandoned house in Gid Brown Hollow. “It was one of the strangest looking creatures I had ever seen and it haunted my thoughts until I completed the tune. I just couldn’t name it after the turkey vulture. Narada is, afterall, a new age label,” he said. According to the Greenville, S.C. Daily News, “Paul Reisler of Trapezoid is certainly a leader among those who blend the categories, who redefine eclectic or take eclectic to new, wonderful territories.” “Hawk” was co-produced by Mr. Reisler and Bob Read, who is also a member of Trapezoid. Joining Mr. Reisler, who plays hammer dulcimers and electric guitars on this recording are, Mr. Read on piano; Cheryl Hurwitz, violin; Robert Jospe on drums and log drums; and Peter Prince playing fretless bass. Trapezoid’s most recent recording for Narada, “Moon Run,” was released last year. It features a collection original instrumentals and songs, along with a few traditional pieces arranged by the group. The Washington Post said, “ ‘Moon’ climbs up the Blue Ridge and down to the bayou and back up the Himalayas.” “Childhood Remembered” and “Moon Run” are available on cassette and compact disc, at Country Heritage, Cabin Fever Books, and Mountainside Market in Washington, Va., at New Leaf Books and Waxie Maxie’s in Warrenton and in most record stores. You can also hear Trapezoid live at the Birchmere, 3901 Mt. Vernon Ave, in Alexandria, 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27. Call 703-549-5919 for information. Sperryville artist granted commission By ANN WELTON Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer When artist Teresa Duke paints, she tries to capture not just what a scene looks like, but what it feels like to be there. “When I go somewhere to paint, I try to stick to my first impression rather than describing literally what I see with paint,” said the Sperryville artist. “I think it’s harder to put more of myself into the work, but the goal is to make it more personal and emotive, and less descriptive,” she added. “I’m still struggling to get out of the art school mode, which is a very structured system.” A well-educated painter, she grew up in Chevy Chase. She earned her undergraduate degree from Boston College and her master’s in painting from George Washington University in 1989. While working on her master’s thesis she lived in Washington, D.C., and worked at a gallery in Georgetown. Ms. Duke grew up riding, so when she was of fered a job schooling horses at a farm in Hume, she gladly accepted the change. After communting for several months, she moved to Main Street in Warrenton and continued to paint and work on her thesis. Ms. Duke was commissioned by the Partnership for Warrenton to do an original painting to adorn the invitation for its upcoming “Evening Under the Stars” set for Sept. 21 on Courthouse Square. Working with Michael Welton, a Partnership board member and the designer of the invitation, Ms. Duke created the medieval-style painting for the 4year-old event. The painting was a challenge for Ms. Duke, whose preferred medium is oil. Using the washes and different kinds of paint traditionally used by illustrators was interesting for her. “Michael and I talked about his ideas. He liked the look of Maxfield Parrish’s work. We wanted it to be playful and fun, and at the same time have the facade of the courthouse very recognizable,” she said. The painting was reproduced in four colors for the front of the invitation. The response was so positive, both by those who saw the original and those who received an invitation, that the decision was made to raffle off the painting at the party. “We did not commission Teresa with the idea of a raffle in mind,” said Mr. Welton. “But after we had several offers to purchase the painting, we thought it would be a good idea.” Tickets will be sold for $1 each, with a book of six selling for $5. They are available through the Partnership for Warrenton’s project manager, Chris Wilson, and will also be sold the night of the event. The painting for the invitation is also a divergence from Ms. Duke’s usual style which she describes as “loose realism.” Currently her subject of preference is the landscape, though she also enjoys portraiture. She has recently returned from a trip to New Mexico where she , was stimulated by both the artists working there and See TERESA DUKE, p. B-7

This spirtually equipped ‘army’ invaded the resistance landlocked country of Paraguay, South America, with radio, television, literature and tent evangelism. The end result after eight years was a phenomenal growth of the national church from 800 believers to more than 14,000.” The Grahams are now changing their focus from Paraguay to Spain. They will be going to this country of 40 million inhabitants with the same type of church-planting ministry that they were involved in before in South America.

The Sperryville United Methodist Church will hold revival services NSDAR members hear Defense Report By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met at the Culpeper Methodist Church on Sept. 10 with the Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham presiding. Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear Jr. presented the National Defense Report which stressed that Sept. 17 is the 204th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution and that Dec. 15, Bill of Rights Day, will be the 200th anniversary of the adoption of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Many states refused to ratify the Constitution without personal guarantees. The basis for these amendments was the Virginia Bill of Rights, authored by George Mason. James Madison led in the adoption of these ten amendments which are now known as the Bill of Rights. The program for the afternoon was a skit presented by Mrs. Harry H. Black and Mrs. Jack C. Pamplin who were introduced by Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear Jr. They gave the background of the Constitution and told of the procedures that went into writing it. The Constitution was bom of the American Revolution and it is interesting that the Constitution Convention was convened in the same room in Philadelphia w here the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. The President General’s message to the NSDAR members, read by Mrs. Dale Metzinger, spoke of the 214th anniversary on June 14 of the U.S. flag; stressed that June 8 was the 100th anniversary of the NSDAR being incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia; and that July 4th Independence Day, is the 215th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of independence. She asked that the members keep alive the spirit of this Declaration. The Registrar, Mrs. Dale Metzinger, presented the name of a prospective member who was accepted by vote of the chapter. The Historian, Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, wishes to mark a grave of a patriot this coming year, one not already marked, and asked for information for one.

Apple harvest cives cooks myriad of choices, all delicious By HELEN W. SMITH w Rappahannock New* Contributin* Writer It’s apple season again! Rappahannock County ranks sixth in apple producing counties in Virginia. Six popular varieties grown in Virginia make up 90 percent of all apples grown in Virginia. These are: red delicious, golden delicious, rome, stavman, winesap and york. We've all heard the expression “an apple a day will keep the doctor away. . .” Even though this refers to general good nutrition as a preventative measure against poor health, it is certainly true that “an apple a day is a healthy way’” to get certain nutrients that our bodies need. An average-size apple is approximately 80 calories, which is great for people watching their weight and who want a low-calorie snack. An apple has no cholesterol and is low in sodium. The main nutritional value of apples is that they are high in complex carbohydrates and high in fiber. HOME ECONOMICS The type of pectin found in apples is believed to help lower the blood level of cholesterol. In addition the low acid content of apples aids infant digestion and the mild fibrous texture acts as nature’s toothbrush. Apple-flavored breads One of the best ways to enjoy apples is to mix them into some of your favorite bread recipes. The following recipes are for apple muffins and quick breads that are easy to make. Apple, honey-pecan brand muffin (From Beverly Atkins) 1 cup Fiber One cereal 1 cup skim milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil legg 11/4 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 to 3/4 cup honey 1/2 cup pecans 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups diced apples 2 Tbsp. cinnamon Heat oven to 400 degrees.

A recent survey shows that of the sellers who did sell on their own, that 45% said they would hire an agency the next time around. Only 15% said they were satisfied with the results and would go that route again. The major problems cited were: Getting the right price, attracting buyers, having enough time to devote to the sale, understanding and performing the paperwork, selling in the length of time planned, and helping the buyer obtain financing.

Teresa Duke Continued from page B-1 the rugged scenery. “I got to use so many new colors in my paintings,” she said. “In Virginia in the summertime, it is very easy to get ‘green disease.’ There is such a temptation to paint everything green. There is a fine line between painting what’s out there and being creative and pushing your color. “I was very tempted to stay in Santa Fe,” she continued. “You have access to so many people doing so much work." Although she loves the country and the beauty that surrounds her, she finds being an artist in that locale can be isolating. “There are a lot of artists working in Rappahanock County, but we don’t have easy access to each other,” she said. “It’s good to see what kinds of things other people are doing.” Foreigners must report farm holdings Foreign investors who acquire or transfer any interest other than a security interest in Rappahannock County’s agricultural land are required by law to report the transaction within 90 days. The report must be submitted to the local USDA-ASCS office located in Washington, Va. The ASCS reminds foreign investors that a report must be filed if all or part of the agricultural land is sold, or if the title is transferred to another person. Failure to report could result in a civil penalty of up to 25 percent of the fair market value of the interest held in the agricultural land. Foreign investors have reported owning 14.45 million acres of land in the United States as of Dec. 31, 1990. In Virginia, foreign-owned agricultural land totaled 118,000 acres for 1990. For reporting purposes, agricultural land is any tract or more than 10 acres now in farming, ranching, forestry, or timber production. This includes land in agricultural use when purchased, as well as land later converted to agricultural use. Foreigners who own or have an interest in 10 acres or less do not need to report unless annual proceeds from the sale of agricultural products grown on these acres exceed $1,000. • The ASCS is responsible for monitoring how much agricultural land in Rappahannock County is owned or controlled by foreign individuals or interests.

1991 fall season offers more racing than ever NSHA sanctions 22 meets with six held in Virginia By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Horses running at top speeds have always mesmerized people, be it wild horses galloping across an open plain or ’chasers hurdling over brush or National fences. The sport of steeplechasing is, in fact, enjoying a resurgence in popularity, like Rip van Winkle blinking his eyes out of a sleepy recession. “The popularity of the sport is spreading,” said Charles Colgan, steward’s secretary to the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NHSA). “People are learning more about it and developing an interest.” This season offers three new hunt meets to make a grand total of 22: Sugarberry in Avon, N.Y., Pimlico in Baltimore, and St. James in Warrenville, 111. Closer to home, the Morven Park Races in Leesburg could well offer pari-mutuel wagering at its 12th annual meet Oct. 12. (See story on Morven Park, Page U Morven Park also will simulcast the $250,000 Breeders Cup held that same day at Fair Hill, Md. The Virginia season offers six steeplechases, starting with the 34th annual Fairfax Races in Leesburg Sept. 21 and ending with the 57th Montpelier Hunt Races Nov. 2. The 14th annual Foxfield Races in Charlottesville are Sept. 29, the 37th annual Virginia Fall Races on Oct. 5 and 6, the 12th annual Morven Park Races in Leesburg Oct. 12, and the 8th International Gold Cup at Great Meadow in The Plains Oct. 19. As in previous years, the Sport of Kings Challenge has thrown down its gauntlet to steeplechase owners.

Fans of the ’chase can bet at (and on) Morven Park By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer LEESBURG —When spectators park their cars and walk up to the hill to view racing Oct. 12 at Morven Park, the occasion could be truly momentus. The horses’ order of finish might be more crucial than ever, with people betting on the timber, flat five hurdle races that day. “Virginia spectators will get a chance to see how it (pari-mutuel wagering) works. People have read so much about it — I’m sure they’re anxious in getting involved in it,” said Charles Colgan, steward’s secretary of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NHSA.) The only other hunt meets that offer pari-mutuel (exclusive of such racetrack meets as Saratoga and Pimlico) are Fair Hill in Maryland and Dueling Grounds in Kentucky. “I think betting will let people feel more a part of the sport,” said Dr. Joseph Rogers of Hamilton, the catalyst behind getting pari-mutuel to the Morven Park race. It was through Dr. Rogers’ efforts that Loudoun County residents passed the pari-mutuel referendum to begin with, and it, was also the doctor’s efforts that helped form the Morven Park committee that pushed through betting at the Morven Park track. Other members of the Morven Park Race Committee are: J. Hamilton Lambert, the former county executive of Fairfax County; Edward A. Maurer, executive director of the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation; William J. McDonald, an ex-newspaperman who handled community, legislative and public relations for Shenandoah Downs, developer Milton Ritzenberg and numerous volunteers. A crowd of about 15,000 spectators is expected to attend the Leesburg race meet. “I have no idea actually how many people will come,” said Dr. Rogers. And out of those people, how many will actually wager their hard-earned cash is also anybody’s guess. “I think 50 percent don’t bet at all,” said Dr. Rogers, adding that the Fair Hill race meet Labor Day weekend recorded $140,000 wagered that day. The Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation, which maintains the 11-year-old Morven Park race course and the 1,500acre estate, applied April 17 to the Virginia Racing Commision for a license to conduct parimutual racing back. Members of the Virginina Racing Commission, who put the final stamp of approval on parimutuel, are chairman John Shenefield, Arthur W. Arundel, Audrey Dixon, Fred G. Pollard and Leonard M. Walters. The Morven Park Committee met several times with the VRC to go over any number of points in their application and to insure that the state’s first race meet See Page 19 Arundel Newspapers Photo by Douglas Lees Dr. Joseph Rogers has been a pivotal force in making pari-mutuel wagering a reality at Morven Park. ^9' prqOfU' MID-COUNTY Corner 29 Business & Falmouth St., Warrenton “Look For The Checker ” Open Mon.-Fri. 7-5 Sat. 7-12 Noon CALL 347-1742 Purina Chow, Oats, Grinding, Hay, Straw, Shavings, Fertilizer, Seeds, Pet Supplies, Stable & Horse Equipment • RED BRAND WIRE DIST ■ TOP QUALITY FENCE ■ 1X6X16 GANG SAWED OAK BOARDS ■ TUBE GATES ■ QUALITY PRESSURE TREATED SPLIT RAIL Financing ' Delivery ' Materials Over 15 Years Experience Sv In Installations Thoroughbred Fencing Ot Supply COMPAN^y 703-899-7743 • FREDERICKSBURG 57“ Annual MONTPELIER HUNT RACES Saturday, November 2, 1991 Gates Open: 10:00 AM Post Time 12:30 PM Featuring: The Fall Timber Championship Series Montpelier Automobile Show sponsored by Pegasus Motor Car Company The Paddock Luncheon Tent sponsored by Bass Ale Terrier Races sponsored by Coyner Associates!Invisible Fencing For more information, please call 703-672-2728 Montpelier is a museum property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation

Sheppard-trained mounts dominate Saratoga racing By SHERRY C. WITWER Arundel Newspapers Special Writer SARATOGA, N.Y. — The cream of the steeplechasing crop put in one of the most impressive racing seasons ever at the fiveweek long NYRA meet in Saratoga Springs July 24 through August 22. “Even with the strict NYRA eligibility rule for jumpers to onetwo-three finishers, all ten carded-races were filled, with the quality of racing at the Spa exceptional,” said William Gallo NSHA Racing Secretary. Saratoga’s jump purses totalled $335,000. From that pool of funds, reigning 1990 NSHA leading trainer Jonathan Sheppard, with his strong string stabled at the Oklahoma Annex, swept a remarkable five of ten races. Even though sustaining significant losses in ’90 with the demise of Summer Colony and Polar Pleasure and other major contenders being sidelined with injuries, Sheppard remains on top with such winners as Timber Bay Stable’s Yaw. ' The Seattle Slew gelding took the first big cash prize with a victory in the $45,000 A.P. Smith wick Handicap opening week and an unprecedented onetwo-three win in the featured $100,000 New York Turf Writers Cup, Aug. 15. Two $20,000 claimers, four “non-winners other than maiden, claiming or starter” allowance races, two top handicaps, a “nonwinners of two other than maiden, claiming or starter” races and the featured New York Writers Cup completed the schedule. Steeplechasing was featured every Wednesday and Thursday with purses ranging from $20,000 to $100,000-added. Mrs. John C. Hopewell’s Billy King, with Graham Alcock up, won the $10,000 Maiden Steeplechase at the Saratoga Open House July 21. A special NYRA Open House program, which showcases the jumpers as part of a full day of activities, welcomed local fans to the Spa on the Sunday before the meet opening. Four races sanctioned by the NSHA were carded. Diversity prevailed with one win a piece for trainers McCollum, Elliot, Griggs and Lawrence Smith, qualifying their winners for the upcoming Saratoga meeting. The Spa attracts its regular band of steeplechase horsemen. The big guns of Unionville and Maryland Hunt Cup territory bring out their best horses in training to dominate the meet. It’s often the characters in the wings, however, that reflect the richness of racing’s nature. Virginia, with the largest horse inventory in the country, often sits out the meet. (Exception, the consummate trainer of the pink and green silks, Paul Fout.) Not so in 1991. . .they could he counted among those who had the summit in sight. Virginia trainers Pat Myer, Noel Twyman, Doug Fout, Beal (Woodberry) Payne and Kevin Palmer saddled contenders and saw the board light up with Kinross Farm’s Mihmaz, second in the highly regarded A.P. Smith wick and Tuniche (Chile), See Page 17 Photo by Catherine French Jonathan Smart on Yaw, No. 2, rides in tandem with Ron Beggan on Moonstruck at Saratoga this summer.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA (804) 293-8160 Cooneys prove hard to beat Trainer-rider combination spells success By BETSY BURKE Arundel Newspaper* Special Writer Susan Snyder Cooney and Patrick Cooney are firmly rooted in Fauquier County, integral parts of Virginia racing and each others’ lives. Susan (nee Snyder) became Susan Cooney June 10, 1989, signing on as both a jockey’s wife and a professional horsewoman. Susan is the trainer-in- • residence at Rockbum Stud, George Ohrstrom’s training center and foaling station on Zulla Road between Marshall and Middleburg. Patrick is contracted as steeplechase owner Beverly Steinman’s No. 1 rider, working almost exclusively for her trainer, Paul Fout, in The Plains and at the Middleburg Training Center. Susan Cooney wears many hats as resident trainer for Ohrstrom. Her morning might include feeding duties, stall cleaning, riding, minor vet work, tractor patrol and grooming. A staff of three helps. One of her most impressive skills recently witnessed, however, was the dexterity with which she handled Rockburn’s monstrous gold and white sixhorse International van, transporting four of her 11 horses in training to the Training Center for speed work. The muscular yet diminutive blonde sat high in the cab of the straight truck, working clutches, chokes and horse monitors with the greatest of ease. “Since it is so dry, I am having to bring horses over here (the Training Center) most every day.We have a woodchip track at the farm, but without the fields to use for long gallops, we have to ship here,” Mrs. Cooney explained. . Mrs. Cooney has her own roots near Chicago, where she grew up in a relatively “nonhorsey family.” At age nine, Susan “begged and begged and finally got a horse. Not a pony,” according to Mrs. Cooney, “but a horse. “He was a 17.1-hand thoroughbred. Fortunately, for me, he was as kind as he was big.” From the “horse-crazy” teenager stage, she decided to go to college, earning a bachelor of science in animal science from the University of Illinois, Champagne. The degree was followed by a master of science in breeding farm management from Texas A&M. See Page 8 Patrick Cooney and Steinman’s Tamango ran in the Blue Ridge point-to-point, 1990.

Name: _ Address (Please print) The Third Saturday in October “The master’s program did not have a thesis requirement,” said Susan, “but rather an intership program. I went to Lexington (Kentucky) to work at Pillar Stud for, my one year and ended up staying on.” She rose to being assistant broodmare manager at the famed bluegrass stud farm, until deciding in 1985 to move on in the horse world. From Lexington, the road led to Camden, S.C., a winter center for many northern trainers. “A friend told me that Charlie Cushman needed people to gallop his racehorses,” laughed Mrs. Cooney, “so I figured my teenage horse-show experience was enough — I had never galloped a racehorse before. The first ride I had was on a just-broken twoyear-old Mr. Cushman put me on and said, ‘Go gallop her a mile.’ I stayed with Cush for seven years!” During the events occunng in Susan’s life, Patrick Joseph Cooney was growing up 45 minutes from Dublin, Ireland, in the village of Dundalk, County Louth. The sixth of 12 boys and girls, Patrick decided at a young age to follow his eldest brother’s footsteps. “Michael, the oldest, was champion apprentice rider on the flat in 1979,” said Pat Cooney. “My father was also involved with racehorses — he was the assistant trainer to Bunny C6x, a jump-trainer.” Young Patrick first apprenticed himself to Paddy Mullins, riding his first winner on the flat for that famed trainer. In fact, said Pat, “I had my first jump ride for Mullins. That was also my first jump win.” Cooney, who is six feet tall, stayed exclusively with the jumpers, growing weary of reducing to keep within flat weight limits. In 1986, Cooney and a few friends decided to visit the United States, stopping off at Delaware Park to witness American training and riding methods. Cooney returned after that summer, coming back in 1988 to stay. He started in Saratoga, riding work for Mickey Praeger and other flat trainers. He traveled south during the winter with Praeger to Camden, and the rest, as they say, is history. “We met on a blind date,” Susan said about the winter of 1988. “A mutual friend knew us both well and decided that we had to meet. We were engaged in February.” Patrick Cooney stayed on in Camden for the spring ’chasing season with steeplechase trainer Burley Cocks, while Susan continued her assistant trainer position with Cushman. Pat Cooney continued his Irish winning ways in the United States, beginning with a pick-up mount for Jonathan Sheppard in Tryon, N.C., and getting a break with Cocks when several riders were hurt. In the winter of ’89, Middleburg trainer Paul Fout asked the young Irishman to come to Northern Virginia. Susan decided the change would do her good as well, and the couple moved to Fauquier County. Susan Cooney was soon snapped up by the Rockburn Stud to move in as trainer for the spring of lay-ups, young stock, and the occasional jumper or jumper prospect. “Mr. Ohrstrom is such a great horseman,” said Susan. “He enjoys his breeding program so much. He really doesn’t breed his mares to necessarily produce two-year-old winners, for instance. He likes his timber horses best of all.” One of Susan’s main exercise riders, Gus Brown, said of the training program at Rockburn: “I’ve worked for Mr. Ohrstrom for about five years. In the past, any horse with extraordinary capability was sent off to Burley Cocks to run from his farm in Pennsylvania. “But since Susan has been here, we are getting more of the retired flat runners to stay here,” — to be trained in Virginia by Ohrstrom’s farm trainer. Susan Cooney’s first winner as a steeplechase conditioner' came from one of those retired flat runners. “It certainly will be my most memorable, and first, winner ever. Tryall, who was through on the flat, was a homebred of Mr. Ohrstrom’s. He won at Fairfax and Middleburg last fall.” Unfortunately, a nasty twist of racing luck took Tryall’s life. In a bad spill at the Far Hills race meet two weeks later, the fouryear-old broke his leg. In addition to training and retraining the steeplechase runners and prospects, Susan has taken out her flat trainer’s license. Her record on the flat is almost unblemished: her first starter as a trainer was her first starter as an owner, and her first winner. “One of Cush’s clients had a homebred horse who measured a mere 14.1 hands high as a yearling,” said Susan about Spinner. “Rather than lose more money on him, he gave the colt to me.” The horse proved to be an excessive stall walker and was made quickly a gelding. He showed that he had some speed and was a fine jumper when Pat schooled him. The Cooneys decided to run Spinner, whose name became self-evident as he continued his

From Pa^e 8 stall-pacing, on the flat at Garden State Park in New Jersey. In his very first start, the more properly named Fill My Card wowed them on the turf, paying a whooping price for the long-shot winner. In addition to her own horse, Susan Cooney conditions several flat runners for Rockbum at the farm. On any given weekend, a keen observer or reader of the Daily Racing Form can pick out George Ohrstrom-owned runners carrying the gold and white stripes at many area racetracks. For husband Pat, flat racing is the less preferred of sports. Jump racing is Patrick Cooney’s job. As contracted rider for Beverly Steinman, he has ridden all but one of Mrs. Steinman’s many starters in more than two years. Cooney’s contract, subject to renewal each year, requires that he be available in any race with a Steinman runner entered. Cooney rides for Paul Fout’s other owners in addition to freelancing. Locally known mounts Cooney has piloted to the winners’ circle include Kinross Farm’s John’s Concorde, Metcalf Memorial Handicap winner Morewoods, Le Sauvage, a *91 Middleburg spring winner, Robin’s Rocket, and Tryall. More are expected, said Pat, as he assured local race fans that, if it rains, Fout has a bamful of runners for area races. Additionally, Susan said, that she has two or three likely runners for the fall Virginia schedule, depending on the rainfall. “Everything this year is being determined by the weather,” bemoaned Susan. “I am swimming some horses for fitness and going to the track every day. The ground will have to be softer before I run, but certainly I have a stable full of the spring point to point season.” All roads for the Cooneys « seem to lead to The Plains, starting in Chicago or Dublin, at long last converging in Camden, S.C. The present is turning out winners and talented runners for the Cooneys at every turn, as Pat adds to his lifetime tally and Susan gets more hurdle prospects. The future holds more of the same, according to both. “My best case scenario is to continue here until Pat retires,” said Susan. “Then maybe we would get together on a public training stable here in Virginia somewhere.” Patrick Cooney’s scene differs LESTER LESTER BUILDING SYSTEMS A Division of Buter Manufacturing Co.

International Gold Cup tops the fall season of ’chasing By CYNTHIA E. RUIBAL Arundel Newspaper* Special Writer Just as the days become noticeably shorter, the foliage begins to turn varying hues of red and gold, and the air becomes a bit cripser, folks in Virginia’s hunt country shake out their seaters and tweeds and the autumn steeplechase season begins. For some, going to the steeplechase races is part of a weekly routine, just as it was for their parents and grandparents, although fall steeplechase racing is a relatively new occurrence. r or others, steeplechasing is a new-found passion, and the International Gold Cup Races, held the third Saturday in October at Great Meadow in The Plains, is a wonderful initiation to the sport of jump racing. It all began in County Limerick, Ireland, more than 200 yers ago when one Irish hunting man challenged another to a race from steeple to steeple, the church steeples being the most visible landmarks in the open country. That first match race had the basic elements of modem steeplechase racing: speed, obstacles, and spectators. Today’s steeplechase race has no steeples, but the course fences are the evolutionary remnants of the obstacles Mr. O’Calloghan and Mr. Blake encountered during their spirited race crosscountry from Buttevant church to Saint Mary’s Doneraile in 1752. Throughout steeplechase history, the famed British Grand National, held annually at Aintree, figures prominently. It was there that most of the modem rules of steeplechase racing were adopted, and it is still considered the world’s premiere steeplechase race. The first International Gold Cup was held in 1930 at Grasslands Downs in Tennessee over a 4Vz mile brush course patterned after the Aintree course. The spectacularly beautiful gold trophy, still awarded annually to the winner, was placed in competition that year by the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII, then one of the world’s ' most gallant riders and sportsmen. After the Tennessee race meet ended two years later, the event was moved to the Rolling Rock course in Pennsylvania, a course built by General Richard King Mellon who had won the 1931 race in Tennesee. The Rolling Rock Hunt Meet ended half a century later in 1983. The following year, publisher Arthur W. Arundel, who conceived and built Great Meadow, arranged to move the legendary King of Spain International Gold Cup trophy and race to Virgina. Called the Great Meadow Races during its first three years, the inaugural meeting was held on October 20,1984. In keeping with Virginia’s tradition of being the nation’s leader of timber racing, the International Gold Cup became a timber race at Great Meadow’s inaugural race meet. Interestingly, Arundel’s great steeplechase champion Sugar Bee, who had won the last International Gold Cup race held at Rolling Rock in 1983, galloped away with the race in 1985, becoming the only horse ever to win the historic cap over both brush and timber fences. Sugar Bee went on to win both of America’s other timber classics, the Virginia Gold Cup and the Maryland Hunt Cup, and continued on to England for the Grand National at Aintree. In 1989, the International Gold Cup Races brought television coverage to Great Meadow for the first time when WNVC/TV aired the program, “For the Love of a Horse.” The hour-long show featured the highlights of the 52nd running of the International Gold Cup Races. The program was later televised nationally by satellite to more than 200 public television stations. This year, the 54th running of this timber classic will once again be covered by national television. In 1990, the International Gold Cup Races’ featured race, the Sovran International Gold Cup, was awarded stakes designation by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, a title granted on the basis of purse structure and on the race’s history of attracting top class horse. That same year, attendance nearly doubled when spectators numbered close to 20,000, making it one of the largest steeplechase races in Virginia as well as one of the richest timber races in the country. Total purses for the day’s races now exceed $75,000. Last year the Sovran International Gold Cup was won by Joe’s O.K., owned by Oliver P. Keelan, trained by Alisha Murphy with John Bosley riding. Joe’s O.K. won the admiration of

Foreign-bred horses are competitive in U.S. Many Eclipse winners English, Irish-bred By BETSY BURKE Arundel Newspapers Special Writer For three straight years and and many previous ones, the top steeplechasers in the United States have been foreign-bred. Proof positive of the influence foreign shores have on American steeplechasing are Eclipse awards over the years — the memorable Jimmy Lorenzo (GB [bred in Great Britian]), Inlander (GB) and Morley Street (GB). The list of foreign winners of America’s top ’chasing prize continues as the purse money attached to jump racing continues its upward spiral. For instance, ’90 Breeder’s Cup winner Morley Street (GB) netted $125,000; Irish-bred mare Grabel (IRE) won $750,000 in the inaugural Dueling Grounds ’chase; top novice Bokoro (FR) took home the ’90 Queen Mother Supreme Novice trophy and $60,000. Middleburg trainer Tom Pratt points out in a May 6, 1989, Blood-Horse interview the lure of American purses. “In this country purses are getting so good that people in the steeplechasing world don’t want to sell,” he is quoted as saying. Lexington-based English trainer Ian McCloskey concurs. “When you have a good horse here in the U.S., you do not want to part with it. So to find new, classy talent, there are many options in other countries.” The options are indeed exercised by a majority of steeplechase trainers, as most on the scene now have or have had at least one foreign-bred in the barn. But some trainers, like Dr. Joe Rogers, enjoy a predominance of foreigners in their string. Rogers’ Hamilton training facility is filled with “chili-beans,” or Chilean-bred hurdlers and timber horses. “In the ’60’s, when I first discovered Chile as a buyers’ market, eight Chilean-bred flat horses already held U.S. records — not just stakes records, but track records,” said Rogers. “Cougar, Tisna — they were two of the best known. “Now the I ram family has become very popular. There (in Chile), it is easy to follow and shop for a bloodline that you like.” The Iram family is quite popular in Virginia-based racing, as the D.M. “Speedy” Smithwick, Jr.-trained Topeador (Chile) and Rogers’ youngster Word of Honor (Chile) share the stallion’s parentage. Word of Honor excelled over hurdles this past spring, winning three in a row. “We are a timber oriented operation,” Rogers pointed out, “so the kind of horse I shop for is longer and stronger than the typical hurdle type.” That hurdle type, however, is relished by such other trainers as Hall of Fame conditioner Jonathan Sheppard. Sheppard’s Unionville, Pa., operation was responsible for $690,459 of the money dispersed in U.S. ’chasing in 1990, including wins by foreign breds Waroquier (IRE) and Lanhydrock (GB). Jimmy Lorenzo (GB) seems to fit the bill as an American hurdle type, according to Sheppard. “He is just a small horse,” See Page 14 Arundel Newspapers Photo by Douglas Lees Ricky Hendriks enjoyed success aboard the Argentian-bred Chacote at the Foxfield Races. -ESTABLISHED 1972Realty, Inc.

Arundel Newspapers Photo by Douglas Lees Seven Corners champ Topeador, owned and ridden by Henry Wood, is another ‘Chili-bean’ success story. From Page 13 Sheppard said of Bertram Firestone’s 1988 Eclipse Award winner. “To find a horse that is tough and sound is what it takes to succeed over here. Like Jimmy, a horse with light action — one that doesn’t hit the ground too hard — is the type best suited to running well in the U.S.he said. “Quite often in England, the horses do not get the chance to ever run over firm ground, as it is generally soft going there, so many do not reach their full potential until running elsewhere, like Jimmy.” To find a horse like Jimmy is to find the cream of the undiscovered crop in foreign lands. Sheppard believes that body types and ways of going determine runners’ success rates in America. The Plains trainer Doug Fout speaks of other characteristics that factor into the foreign equation. “We go mostly to France looking for youngsters to import,” said Fout. “There, they breed more specifically to be jumpers. The young horse is also brought along more slowly, taught sooner how to jump, and the owners are in the game to make money quick. “The two-year-old racing in the U.S. produces a crop of threeand four-year-olds which have been run hard with tapped knees, ankles, and had a whole slew of medications. America certainly breeds the best quality in the world, but to find horses with natural speed that haven’t been drilled so hard, we go to France.” Fout has not limited himself to shopping only in France. His first top runner hailed from different shores altogether. “Don Panta (Chile), a horse my dad [Paul Fout] trained for Peggy Steinman, was my first big horse. But another good runner we had was a French-bred Bel Iman,” Fout explained. “The two were completely different types of horses. Don Panta was big and tough, a strapping front runner. Bel Iman was smaller, easy to place, and a real tryer with a huge heart. “That is the only similarity • between the two — they were both excellent jumpers and they both were honest runners.” The foreign influx prqjjuces more than just competitive racing for horses; it also provides top class entertainment for the large crowds of ’chasing fans found at hunt meets spring and fall. “The added international scope and flavor make a racing program more dramatic and interesting,” said National Steeplechase and Hunt racing secretary and handicapper Bill Gallo. “The fact that Inlander (GB), Jimmy Lorenzo (GB), and Morley Street (GB) were named steeplechase champions has generated attention in this country and abroad.” Great Britian may seem like the most popular market for buying hurdlers or ’chasing prospects, but South America also produces many champion runners in the United States. A horseman who jumped on the bandwagon to Chile in the early ’60s is Camden, S.C., importer Charlie Cushman. Cushman explained what he shops for. “The horse must be well-conformed, must be very, very sound, and he must show some speed,” he said in a May 5, 1989, Blood-Horse interview. Though Cushman’s rules do not differ from standards elsewhere in the world, U.S. racing, he said, “stresses horses even more than in South America, because of the harder ground.” Among winners Cushman recently imported and sold to American owners are Ulises (Chile), Maitenhuapi (Chile), Chicken (Chile), Rio Claro (Chile), and Topeador (Chile). Also partial to chili-beans is Middleburg’s Bettina Belmont Ward. ‘ECectroCysis Centre Permanent Hair Removal Ladies andQcntCemen, ‘During their lifetime most zoomen and many men are confrontedzoith the problem of unzvantedfacial and body hair. ‘Whether an inherited trait, the result of hormonal imbalance or simply a cosmetic preference, the temporary methods of removal used are generally frustrating and embarrassing. ‘Ihese methods are irritating, increase hairgrozoth. and are never ending.

“My first two imports came from Charlie — Dragonetti and Chicken,” Ward said. “Then I got Sello Y Firmo and a horse named Colby who ran once and never again.” One hard-luck apple did not sour Ward’s love affair with the Chilean-bred runners, as both Chicken and Sello Y Firmo are recent and multiple winners in and around Virginia. Ward has her own opinion of the most important characteristic a shopper should consider when buying foreign thoroughbreds. “First, you must set and shop within a price range,” she said. “What I look for from any horse is some amount of form. I like for a horse to have won on the flat already before I buy him.” The purse money generated by corporate sponsorship in American steeplechasing has hit an all-time high of $4.07 million in 1991. When purses are so lucrative, an owner has very little incentive to sell his young prospect or even his older, proven warrior. Foreign lands often offer less - expensive, less hard worked, less blemished young runners. It is impossible to pin a specific perfect body type, way of going, or bloodline on the list of recent champions in America. As trainer Doug Fout bemoaned, “You cannot just tap into a computer what you want and receive it in the horse world.” Experience as a shrewd horseman, knowledge of American race courses and luck of the draw seem to all play in the never-ending quest for good runners. Racegoers in Virginia can look forward to the intrigue of mysterious youngsters from misty downs of Ireland and taut, lanky colts from South America, strutting around the paddock at Great Meadow and other meets this fall. But perhaps Bettina Ward put into words what every owner must remember about any horse, no matter what point of origin. Mrs. Ward’s most important and concrete rule for buying horses is to make sure that “he is worth his oats.” A very good policy, indeed, Ms. Ward.

From Page 10 spectators and the respect of the steeplechase community as he won race after race throughout the season. He went on to win the 1991 Virginia Gold Cup, also held at Great Meadow, and was named 1990 Timber Horse of the Year. Artist Donna Dellaganna of Earlysville, Va., depicted Joe’s 0. K. as he led the field over the last timber fence on Great Meadow’s south turn (see front cover.) Her realistic painting style captured the excitement of the race and the beauty of the Great Meadow course in its fall colors. The Virginia Gold Cup Association chose her painting be used in promotional materials for this year’s International Gold Cup Races; a poster and a limited edition print are being offered this fall through the association. The international flavor of the fall Gold Cup, chaired by former FAA administrator Langhome Bond, is characterized by the encouragement of world-wide racing entries. Also, many social and political celebrities attend the races. The race’s sponsors sponsors also reflect international involvement; in addition to Sovran Bank, sponsors include Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer Aircraft Corporation; National Business Aircraft Association; Protocol Insurance; Internet, Inc.; Wheat First Securities; Molson Breweries; and Tiffany & Co. The Virginia Gold Cup Association recently announced that Dick Francis, renowned mystery author and former steeplechase jockey for England’s Queen Mother, will serve as a race steward for this year’s races, a title he has held since 1989. Francis, who turned to writing mystery novels after retiring from jump-racing at the height of his career as a jockey, is popular with steeplechase fans, probably due in part to the racing action portrayed in many of his books. By mid-October, Great Meadow is being readied for the International Gold Cup Races: parking strips have been moved into the turf, jumps have been repaired or replaced, and race and corporate sponsor tents are erected. Like most American steeplechase course, Great Meadow has few permanent buildings. There are no grandstands — spectators watch the races from the rail, from their tailgate parties, from their tents, and from the surrounding hillsides. The entire course, considered by some to be one of the nation’s finest, can be seen from the grassy meadows which create a natural amphitheater around the course. Although it is not as well known as its sister race, the Virginia Gold Cup, both the Virginia Gold Cup and the International Gold Cup are presented by the Virginia Gold Cup Association. Perhaps it is that the weather is generally ideal for the International Gold Cup. It is usually dry with temperatures in the low 70s —perfect for those wonderful tweeds. Or perhaps it is its timing, the third Saturday in October, which fits very nicely in the schedule of things to do in the fall; vacations are over, the children are back in school and the holiday rush hasn’t begun. With its elegantly festive atmosphere, the International Gold Cup is a fitting prelude to the holiday season. The Gold Cup races have become known for their such pre-race events as the U.S. Park Police Drill Team exhibition and the terrier races, and these entertainments serve to enhance the excitement of the day. Another increasingly popular race day event is the pony races, which are scheduled to being at 11:30 a.m. This year, a new race for young riders has been added — a junior horse race for horses that have not on under rules and amateur riders to 18 years of age. The International Gold Cup is one of the few steeplechase races that continues to present these flat 1 CARTER Pole Buldings= I tm&esi/ 24x24 30 x 32 STEa ROOF STEa SIDES SHINGLE ROOF STEEL SIDES *2,449 *2,379 *3,419 *3,169 Features: • Pressure treated posts & skirt boards • 2*4 premum grade girts & pul ns • Prefabricated clear span trusses • 16x7* siring door with hardware • AH nails, hardware, trim, plans & instructions neluded • 8' ceilng • 3*x6* steel prehung door METAL ROOFING & SIDING Custom Lengths Available PAINTED GRAND RIB 3 36* Actual Coverage ‘.29 Gauge 8 *9.25 12 *13.87 10 811.56 i4 ®1B.18 KEEP WINTER S WINDS OFF YOUR HOME It * easy to do with TRANSLUCENT PANELS FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PRESSURE TREATED POLES • Resists rot & decay • Great for outdoor projects • Southern Yellow Pine • Lifetime warranty .40 Retention • Econonry •' WHITE OR GREEN •4.49 Grade #2 8' 10' 12' 14' 16' 18' 20' 4x4 •3.89 •6.39 •7.29 •7.59 •9.59 4x6 •7.59 •8.39 •11.29 •12.39 •15.09 •18.99 •24.99 6x6 •11.99 •13.49 •15.99 •17.99 •23.99 •32.99 •42.49 SINGLE CAR 14'xl8' 18x22' DOUBLE CAR 22x22' 24‘x24' Ti ll SIDING •1,423 •1,728 Ti ll SIDING •2,172 •2,484 VINYL SIDING •1,858 •2,049 VINYL SIDING •2,312 ”2,639 -C STANDARD GARAGES (16'* O.C.

Whatever the reason, more and more people are returning to the International Gold Cup Races year after year. During the race’s inaugural running at Great Meadow in 1984, only 8,000 attended, but each year the crowds have steadily grown. Last year almost 20,000 people ventured to Great Meadow’s grassy hillsides for the October race. There are many ways to enjoy the International Gold Cup Races, from the simple general adimssion area where a car pass will admit up to six people, to lavish entertainment tents within a few yards of the finish stretch. Packages are available for individuals as w'ell as corporations and you can pack your own lunch or enjoy elegant dining complete with fine china and silver. There’s even an after-race party for which a limited number of tickets are available that will allow you to mingle with owners, trainers, jockeys and race officials. Upon request, the Virginia Gold Cup Association will send you an invitation to the races with details on the many viewing options. Whatever options you might decide on, the following is suggested, particularly if you’ve never been to Great Meadow: Arrive early. Allow plenty of time to get situated so that you don’t miss anything. The gates open at 10 a.m., and pre-race events start around 11 a.m. Buy a program as you drive in. The program has a schedule, a map of the course and many suggestions for understanding the races, including a key to reading the race pages. It is also filled with interesting tidbits on horses and steeplechase racing. Wear confortable clothing suitable for the weather. Check weather conditions before you leave home and dress in layers if it is going to be cool. Although the third Saturday in October is almost always dry, if rain is predicted, pack rain coats and umbrellas — the races run rain or shine. If you are prepared, you’ll have fun even if it does rain, and if it doesn’t rain you can leave the extra clothes in the car. Because the course grounds are grass, high heels are better left in the closet with Wellingtons or L.L. Beans the boots of choice. “Elegantly casual” is how some characterize the appropriate attire. Visit the paddock, the area where the horses are saddled prior to the race, at least once during the day. Here owners and trainers give last-minute instructions to the jockeys, and spectators can get a closer view of their favorites. About Steeplechase Courses Steeplechase races are run over a turf course consisting of a number of jumps around a grass track. There are usually one or two flat races (no jumps) on the racing card (a “card” is the races that are scheduled to be run that dav.) There are two types of jumps: brush jumps, which are either natural cedar, or manmade “brush,” made from plastic. Timber jumps are solid post and rails. A race is either a brush race or a timber race — races are never run with both types of jumps during the race, even though the jumps may be side by side on the infield. Both jumps average four feet in height. The winner of a steeplechase race is the first horse and rider to complete the course and cross the finish line. One of the exciting elements in steeplechase racing is the fact that there are usually between eight to 15 horses in a race and, if it’s a well-matched field of horses, they all go over the jumps at once. Jumps may be touched, even knocked down, without horse and rider being disqualified. ‘Elegantly casual’ is how some characterize Gold Cup attire. Cindy Ruibal During brush races, horses are often so close to the jump that their hind feet actually pass through the brush. Timber jumps are solid, however, and horses usually don’t wish to make contact with those jumps. Timber racing is unique to the United States and is more prevalent in Virginia and Maryland than in other states. The International Gold Cup’s featured race, presented by Sovran Bank, is a timber race. Steeplechase horses are registered thoroughbreds that may or may not have raced on a flat track. Sometimes a flat racer may have a mediocre career until he becomes a steeplechaser. If he is a good jumper, has stamina and is fast, he may shine as a timber horse. Because steeplechase races are much longer than flat races, usually between three and four miles in length, steeplechase racing is a true test of a horse’s jumping ability, speed and endurance. Although jumpracing is very demanding of horses, they don’t race yearround, so the career of a steeplechase horse generally lasts much longer then that of a flat racer. On the average, steeplechase racers range in age from three to 15. Garages

On Open House day, Torsten Rothman’s Top Virginia was third in the $5,000 Maiden race; Kinross Farm’s Tuniche (Chile) third in the $10,000 Maiden race; and Farmwick Stable’s Key to the Max third in the $7,500 “nonwinners of three race.” “This year saw more Virginia people than normal. They showed good courage and came to the meet with whdt they had,” said Kinross Farm’s trainer Pat Myer. Myer, who campaigns a seven horse string for private owner Zohar Ben-Dov, saddled the Clever Trick full brother, Mihmaz, with Graham Aleock up, for an impressive stretch performance against William and Tina Entemann’s Timber Bay Farm stakes winner Yaw. Clearly the meet star, Yaw, trained by Sheppard and ridden by Jonathan Smart, settled and gradually worked his way forward to win the $45,000 A.P. Smithwick Handicap by a neck over Kinross Farm’s Mihmaz. Three Bells for Me, trained by Charles Fenwick, Jr. placed third. The field for this tough “non winners of $27,000 twice in 1991” also included Skorpius (Ar), Woody Boy Would, Lights and Music, Penascal (Ar), Peer Prince and Made Noble. Mother Nature introduced the 50th running of the New York Turf Writers Cup August 15. Minutes into paddock time, severe thunder and lightning knocked out TV monitors and briefly closed betting windows. The less-than-cooperative weather changed the course conditions just enough to make the race less than formful. The field attracted 10 starters with the gross value of the 2 3/8 mile stake closing at $116,200. W’illiam C. Lickle’s stakes campaigner Victorian Hill was a clear favorite despite his 160pound package. Frank Lovings’ one horse stable. Double Bill (’89, ’90 winner of the N. Y. Turf Writers) was 11 pounds away at 149. They were followed by Moonstruck (148), Woody Boy Would (147), Made Noble (146), Yaw (145), Mihmaz (144), Penascal (Ar) 9143), Sidler (143) and Peer Prince (133). As predicted, the Janet Elliot trained all-time leading money earner Victorian Hill and the Alydar grandson.

Victorian Hill, Jeff Teter in the irons, apparently not getting a hold of the “grease-like turf,” relinquished command approaching the eleventh jump as the field moved upward. Yaw, ridden by Jonathan Smart, unleashed a remarkable performance and opened up for a clear advantage on the far turn for home. Moonstruck, with visiting Englishman Ron Beggan up, gradually moved forward along the backstretch for th final time. Under the guidance of Bennie Guessford, Double Bill reached contention nearing the eleventh fence and remained a factor, but he could not catch his entrymates Yaw and Moonstruck. Yaw relinquished the lead briefly to Moonstruck in a thrilling stretch duel. Fighting back gamely, he won the 50th running of the New York Writers Cup going away. It was a Sheppard firstsecond-third sweep. Stable mates Yaw, Moonstruck and Double Bill crossed the wire in that order with Victorian Hill finishing fourth. Among the trainers at the Oklahoma Annex, Thomas Voss won one, Jonathan Sheppard won five, Charles Fenwick, Jr. one, Dr. John Griggs one and Janet Elliot two. Obviously, racing at Saratoga is alive and well. Arundel Newspapers Photo by Douglas Lees Trainer Paul Fout never misses Saratoga’s races..

From rage d Communications Hurdle at Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, and the Racing International Hurdle at Chepstow, Wales — its owner will receive a $1 million bonus in addition to the other purses won. The winner of all three European races will take home a $100,000 bonus; Cheltenham or Chepstow winners $10,000, and a Callaway Gardens horse that places or shows, $10,000. If purse amount, spectator attendance and the number of horses running are any indication, the sport of queens continues to grow. The Virginia Fall Races in Middleburg are reenacting their two full days of racing, with the Daniel Sands Cup offering a $15,000 purse Oct. 5. Last year their meet was cut back to only one day. The purse at Middleburg has increased by $14,000 over last year’s, and Montpelier’s is almost $70,000 — $22,000 more than in 1990. Colgan attributes the interest and spate of new races to owners who want to become more involved in the sport. Benson Jones of Avon, N.Y., is a case in point. Jones, whose horses train under Louis “Paddy” Neilson in Unionville, owns Tadmor Farm in Avon, N.Y., described by Colgan as “a lovely place. “A few years ago Jones got involved with ’chasers, and as he went around to different race meets, the seeds were probably formed in his mind: I could do this at my place,” said Colgan, adding that Benson probably realized the event could make money for local charities. “That’s typical of how this type of thing gets started,” Colgan said.
