League commissioner Rich Pentecost thanked the parents and told the players they would be learning more than how to hit “• and field. “The lessonsa you've . going to learn on this field, you can take with you whatever you do,” he said. *» >. As there are more than 300 kids participating this season, the costs are also higher. Several upcoming fundraising events are def signed to help defray that cost, however./' Sm OPENING DAY, p. A-2 New group fights kids' alcohol, drug abuse By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer A new group has been formed with one goal being to set up a network of parents who agree to hold chaperoned alcohol-free social events for teenagers in their homes. That way parents will know when their children ask to attend parties whether parents will be at home and that alcohol will not be available. There was a small turnout for the first-meeting of the Community Coalition Working for Health Youth . (CCWHY) in Washington Tuesday night, but the organizers hope the group will grow. The group got started with the help of a drug-free schools grant from the federal government. So far a team of five have attended a fourday workshop on organizing. They have also trained 20 facilitators. The group also administered the PRIDE survey on drug use to sixththrough-twelfth graders. That survey showed that alcohol and drug use is as widespread among teens in Rappahannock as it is nationwide. CCWHY organizer Judy Tole said the group next wants to increase community awareness and coordinate available resources. “There is a lot of denial here,” she said. “The impetus for change seems to fall on the school system. That is where the greatest impact is felt, but the schools didn’t create this. They need the help of the community.” Gary Raffia, mental health counselor with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, talked with the group about handling stress. He said some stress is needed for growth, and children normally handle stress well. He added that excessive stress can show up as insomnia or sleeping too much, frequent illness (especially on Mondays), headaches, nausea, nightmares and appetite disturbance. Mr. Raffia said children have the greatest difficulty with stress when they are not supported at home, particularly when the stress is coming from the home, such as alcohol abuse at home or parental discord. CCWHY will try to hold monthly meetings. VDOT awards contract Highway construction contracts totaling $4.2 million for projects in the Culpeper district were awarded by the Commonwealth Transportation Board at its April meeting in Richmond.

Ferguson outpaces field of 206 By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Charlottesville runner Rich Ferguson was first to break the tape at the Fodders tack 10-K Classic Saturday, beating a field of 206 runners on the Flint Hill-to-Washington course with a time of 33:16. Ferguson said a light rain that fell may have worked to his advantage, but the steep course did not. “It was hilly, and it’s hard running by yourself on a hilly course. . . . The rain probably helped, if anything—it cooled things off.” The win came in his first attempt at the Fodderstack course; his main event is the marathon. Ferguson finished 13th overall in the Boston Marathon in 1984 and attended the Olympic trials in 1984 and 1988, he said. He underwent hamstring surgery in November, which has inhibited his ability to train, but he still logs about 100 miles a week. Ferguson, who runs for Etonic Shoes, questioned the length of the course, saying that the last two-tenths are probably longer than they should be. John McCarthy, a race organizer, said the distance has been checked repeatedly, and while it may be off a small amount, he said it was not more than a matter of a few feet. ‘The course was measured five or six times, and it is within a few feet of 10-K,” said Mr. McCarthy. Ferguson took a wrong left-turn by the Aileen Plant near the start of the race, but quickly recovered. Mr. McCarthy said the race record may have fallen if Ferguson had not gotten lost. The top female finisher was Terry ' Sweitzer of Alexandria, who took her secondSm FODDERSTACK, p. A-3 f County budget proposal: $7.8M By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New. Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors got its first look at the preliminary draft of next year’s $7.8 million county budget last week. Accountant Wally Cox told the supervisors last Thursday it could be funded at a tax rate of 50 cents per hundred for real estate and $2.90 for personal property. Those rates are essentially the same as the current rates of 77 cents per $100 for real estate and $2.90 for personal property. The lower real estate tax rate is' based on the new assessment. Mr. Cox said the tax rates will not produce enough funds to cover budget expenses, but will if the county draws down the gen eral fund surplus by $354,700. A rate of 57 cents per $100 would be needed to fully cover expenses, he added. The current budget is about $7.1 million, $690,100 lower than the proposed budget. The difference amounts to a proposed increase of 9.7 percent. About 51 percent of the increase is for education, and most of that increase results from the state assigning a Local Composite Index (LCI) of .699 to the county. This means that Rappa‘ hannock County ia required by the state to fund nearly 70 percent of state educational requirements. SM COUNTY, p.A-5 insurance issue snags schools' funding talks By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on the school budget last Thursday, almost no one from the public came out. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said she was heartened to see so many cars out in front of the high school when she drove up. “I thought maybe we’d generated a lot of interest,” she said. However, most of the cars were there because of other events. MIt’s disheartening that we don’t have more participation when education is the greatest portion of the county budget,” she added. The one member of the public present, Frank Warner of Scrabble, echoed Mrs. Massie’s complaint. “When you talk to people, you hear a lot of disparaging remarks,” he said. He added that he frequently hears complaints that the supervisors “do what they want to do. It confuses me and concerns me. I don’t like it when they complain and don’t involve themselves.” Sm INSURANCE, p.A-5

Day REALTOR SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG QUESTION: I have my eye on a home that has been on the market for several months. The price has been reduced a few times, but it still has not sold. It's just what I want and the price seems right. Should I avoid it on the premise that if It's been for sale this long, SOMETHING must be wrong? ANSWER: The fact that the house has not sold for a long time may be to your advantage. If there are no structural defects, and it meets your basic needs, there is a good possibility that it is an excellent buy at this time. It may have been overpriced at the outset and Is now at or even below its market value. QUESTION: What is the beat type of house to build on a sloping lot? ANSWER: The split-level home is ideal for the sloping lot or uneven terrain. Well-designed ones are truly handsome and fit nicely into their surroundings. A good split-level home comlrines some of the best points of two-story and one-story construction. If there Is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please atop in at EILEEN M.

Piedmont Realtors announce offerings May brings American Home Week It’s American Home Week, and one member of the Piedmont Board of Realtors here in Rappahannock offers a service some home buyers may not be familiar with. If you’re ready to buy your first home, you want to consult a real estate professional—someone who can assist you with mortgage qualification, financing options and simply help find the right home to meet your needs. In short, you, like most buyers, want an agent who will act in your best interest. You may not know, however, that most agents represent the seller, largely due to the rules of multiple listing services whereby agents who show properties are usually accepting unilateral offers of subagency from the listing agent. Therefore, they are subagents of the listing agent and represent the seller. Seller representation is assumed unless there is a written disclosure to the contrary. Flea market permit okayed The Board of Zoning Appeals voted last Wednesday to renew the special use permit for James W. Russell to operate a flea market at Horseshoe Hills west of Sperry ville. Mr. Russell first got a special use permit for the flea market for three years in 1986. It was renewed for another three years in 1989. The BZA agreed to another three-year extension and decided to allow County Administrator John McCarthy to extend it again unless he feels the BZA needs to review it. The use permit is quite restrictive. The flea market can be held only during the months of September and October and only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The tables must be taken down between flea markets. Wakefield District representative Jennifer Matthews asked about ■> a permit for the flea market at That Sperryville Emporium. Mr. McCarthy said the activity pre-dated the zoning ordinance and was therefore “grandfathered” in. —SHARON KILPATRICK Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 10 a.m., Every Month -§TATE<5RABE— FAT CATTLE 1st Tues., 1 pm.

Agents providing fair and ethical service are striving to keep the public—particularly buyers and sellers—better informed about the legalities of agency relationship. “A buyer’s agent will advise buyers as to the offering price, compensation for defects found during inspections and other related matters that are in the best interest of the buyer,” said Butch Zindel, Broker of the Buyer’s Agency located in Washington. “In addition to first-time buyers, out-of-town buyers should consider using a buyer’s agent. They may not understand the local market or unique legal procedures required by a certain community and therefore may need a local advocate,” said Mr. Zindel. A variety of events and seminars are being conducted in the area during American Home Week, which begins May 3. The Piedmont Association of Realtors is sponsoring a public home buying-selling seminar, “Step by Step.” The seminar, to be held at Piedmont Technical School on U.S. 15 in Culpeper, will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 7. The topic for the first evening session will be “Am I Able to Buy A House?” The second session of the seminar will be on May 14 and will deal with the “Legal Process for Buying and Selling.” The third session, to be held on May 21, will be “Getting the Right Price for Your Home.” Each session will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and refreshments will be served. During American Home Week, May 3-9, the Piedmont Association of Realtors is also holding open houses throughout Rappahannock. Participating homes will offer the public chances to win cash prizes for viewing homes. A drawing May 9 will determine the lucky winners. First place is $150, second $75, and third $50. To be eligible, winners must visit five homes. For further information contact the Piedmont Association of Realtors at 703-825-3789.

Grounds for improvement We admire any organization or group of individuals that works together to get what they want accomplished. There isn’t much that Rappahannock lacks (at least not much we need), but there is a real shortage of public parks facilities. Don’t point to Shenandoah National Forest, we mean more children-oriented fare. With the upgrades to baseball fields in Amissville and Sperryville, youth baseball has grown by onethird in the last year. There’s a need, and bit by bit, it’s being filled. The partnership that has made tangible improvements to the Rappahannock County Park in Washington deserves our admiration and support. Led by the two-year-old Mothering Cooperative, which meets at the park in warm weather, construction of new playground equipment and improvements to the grounds are well under way. Phase II of new playground equipment for the park began last week with formal dedication of Phase I, the castle. Phase II will be a pirate ship, similar in construction style to the castle, a three-masted ship with a cabin, crow’s nest, tire swing, cargo nest, a trolley, and assorted other features:' Contraction on the pirate ship is expected to begin in the fall, and fundraising efforts will be going on until then. The expected cost is about $2,500, the same as the castle. In an age when the Navy can’t buy a gimcrack for less than $10,000, volunteers are doing much more with much less. At the park last week, Peter Kreyling presented his design, and landscape architects J. Monroe and Rosa Crocker unveiled their donated plans for the grounds. Both were impressive, and done at no cost. Washington artist Laurie Marshall led the children in a painting project at 11 a.m. They created a series of plywood paintings that will hang inside the castle. When the kids themselves help create the equipment, they’re sure to find it more enjoyable to use, and more memorable. Among those invited who had participated in the project were musicians Lorraine Duisit and Peter Kater, who held benefit concerts; the Rappahannock Woman’s Club, which provided financial support and will be contributing to Phase II; John McCarthy, representing the Rappahannock Recreational Facilities Authority, which runs the park; and Jean Falk Morgan, Phase I coordinator. Members of the Mothering Cooperative, which has undertaken the project, were also present. Those wishing to donate to Phase II are invited to contact Cathy Kreyling at 987-8131 or Mrs. Morgan at 675-1281. There’s plenty of room for volunteers as well, if you prefer to contribute in that manner. Editorial Platform Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.9 — Thomas Jefferson The Rappahannock News regards several bedrock issues to be of special importance to the character and heritage of Rappahannock County, and takes these consistent editorial positions on them. 1. Growth and development must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and fairly enforced zoning regulations sensitive to Rappahannock’s character, powerful beauty and the quality of life of its people. Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2. Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated in recognition that education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3. New business and clean industry for economic expansion should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities here for our residents and their children under conditions which ensure that these businesses are self-supporting, not a burden on the tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant nuyor public services demanded by other industires. 4. Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent community, will be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strong timber and fierce spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. 6. Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized with* out a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and independently investigage any abuse ' of public trust by public officials. Bake sale thank-yous To the Editor: We wish to express our sincere appreciation to those folks who purchased baked goods from us at our bake sale on Saturday, April 18. Many thanks to those who mixed, iced and baked for us! A special thanks to Sharon for all of her help. It is greatly appreciated. MARY WALTERS Shelter Manager AND R.A.W.L. MEMBERS Diatribe merits answer To the Editor Mason Gardner’s anti-Earth Day diatribe in your April 23 issue demands response. While it is true that technical debates continue over the mechanisms, impacts, and even existence of global climate change, and while it is true that scientific understandings of complex natural systems are imperfect, it is also true that there is plenty of scientific evidence documenting in detail the deleterious impact of human activities on the world environment. It is evidence compelling enough to have led us to establish a previously non-existent pollution control industry employing many thousands of people—and to convince thinking people that much yet remains to be done before our ecosystem is restored. There is in the U.S. today a sort of Neo-Know-Nothing movement which asks us to ignore scientific findings and intellectual conclusions about their implications. Unfortunately for us all, the evidence is also measured in other than “scientific” terms that are all too obvious: declining water tables, disappearing species, skyrocketing cancer rates, destruction of the Chesapeake Bay seafood industry, explosion of the Guadalajara sewer system, and (because of deficient land use policies) a national banking collapse that may well end up on average costing every man, woman, and child in the United States $2,000—to name a few. Mr. Gardner concludes that pollution “has always existed” and therefore constitutes no threat. Perhaps this man from Gainesville peddles that idea in Rappahannock County because it won’t sell in Prince William, which suffers among many other things a serious problem of chemically contaminated groundwater. ROBERT T. DENNIS President Piedmont Environmental Council Deficit threat real for all To the Editor: Last week, National Public Radio announced that the national deficit for this year, so far, was $195 billion. This is difly April. For every one dollar of spending cuts proposed by Congress, $22 of spending increases have been proposed so far this year. Of this deficit, $145 billion went to service our nation’s $4 trillion (that is with a “t”) debt. One trillion equals a million-million. Of this year’s record deficit, each of us, man, woman and child, owns a $780 share. The interest on the $4 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Diane Wood and infant Jillian complete the 6.2-mile Fodderstack course. trillion debt consumed $580 of this share. Imagine everyone in your family owing $780 on their credit card which already has a $16,000 balance. Imagine that they are all continuing to spend. Congress is doing just that. We are blessed to live in a nation with a government “by the people.” It is time that each of us call or write our congressman or senator to express outrage and this on-going out of control spending. JOHN LEKANDER Sperryville Trash pick-up cooperation To the Editor: For the last year and a half, Charles and I have been responsible for a two-mile stretch of U.S. 522 in the “Adopt-a-Highway” program. The program requires that litter on the roadside be picked up four times a year. April is one of the designated months, with the 18th suggested as a statewide date for litter pickup. Charles and I want to thank those of you who have offered to help us in this endeavor since Charles’ health problems last year made it impossible for him to continue to participate. We are especially thankful for those who continually clear the area along their property. I plan to continue with the Adopt-a-Highway program, but have found it impossible to do so by April 18. I will, however, be out with the big orange bags on April 24 and 25 if any of you choose to meet me. Take pride in your highways. MARIANNE W. TOPJIAN-WILSON Thistle Hill Bed and Breakfast Boston Fodderstack was success To the Editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those local businesses and residents who con tributed to making the 14th Annual Fodderstack 10-K such a success. First, for their generous sponsorship, The Inn at Little Washington deserves to be singled out, along with the proprietors, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. Additipnally, Eileen Day Realty, Roy Wheeler Realty/Jean Lillard, Rappahannock National Bank, Fanner’s and Merchants National Bank, Liberty Savings Bank and Mary O’Meara need to be recognized for their strong financial support. Thanks also go to the Pepsi Cola Bottling Co. of Warrenton for drinks, cups and race equipment, the Flint Hill Store for ice and Bruce and Vi Vierling for the use of the Flint Hill Packing Shed at the race’s start. As always, the support of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia State Police were much appreciated. To all of the Girl Scouts and other cheerful volunteers at the water stations, the finish line, the mile markers, the registration desks and elsewhere: We couldn’t have done it without you. john w.

Prior to the session, a delicious dinner was served to over 40 delegates from Prince William, Fauquier, Warren, Culpeper, Clarke, Loudoun, and Rappahannock counties. Between courses the guests were entertained by members of the high school choral group under the direction of Mrs. Warren Wilbur. Those leading in the conference discussions were Gertrude Lewis, Helen Warriner and Martin Tarter of the Warrenton Regional Office of the State Department of Education. The guidance section was under the direction of Helen Parr of Garfield High School. * Saturday, May 5 is the last day to pay your capitation tax to be eligible to vote in the July primary and the November elections.

He was the first male on a town ballot for more than 20 years. A like vote was given Kermit Weakley, the only male to seek a seat on the Town Council. He, too, gleaned 66 of the 73 votes tallied. Kozik will assume the position of Mayor on July 1, along with the new council member and five re-elected ones. Other tallies were: Christine Johnston 61; Dorothy Hawkins 59; Edna Wayland 53; Virginia Miller 46, and Bertha Armel 37. Mr. and Mrs. Sung Pil Han of Woodville became citizens of the United States in naturalization proceedings Monday in United States District Court, Roanoke. The Han family, who are Koreans, have been in this country since 1964. Han said Wednesday: “We are proud to become Americans; proud to take this duty of citizenship. We are grateful for the chance to work with other Americans to make America strong in this world that is so full of trouble. We are especially happy to be a neighbor in this friendly and neighborly Rappahannock County.” 10 YEARS AGO May 6,1982 The Rappahannock Supervisors on Monday received a request for a zoning ordinance amendment to allow archery, skeet, trap and target shooting ranges in an agricultural zone by special use permit. The proposed amendement was presented by Washington attorney Peter Luke on behalf of Robert and Ruth Bowers, who own and operate Blue Ridge Guns in Amissville. Residents of Stonewall-Hawthome District are seeking • a change in their representation on the county school board. On Monday, the supervisors received a petition with 180 signatures supporting the appointment of Jimmy Cannon to the seat now held by Nelson Lane. Lane’s term expires June 30, 1082.* Nancy Virginia Ellis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy D. Ellis of Castleton, has been accepted for the 1982 fall class of nursing at James Madison University in Harrisonburg. . *

County Continued from page A-1 None of the surrounding counties is required to fund as much of the cost of education as Rappahannock. The LCI in Culpeper County is .4296. In Fauquier County it is .6863. For Madison County is it .3793. Page County’s LCI is .3139, and for Warren County the LCI is .3961. Another $180,600, or about 26 percent, of the increase is for public works. This incudes trash collection, operating the county landfill and maintenance of county buildings and grounds. Of the increase $80,000 of the increase is for improvements to the landfill and materials for the landfill. Another $82,000 is for site acquisition and alteration. The next-largest increase, $90,000, is for public safety. This includes the budgets for the sheriff and jail, for building inspection and for the Animal Shelter. The proposed budget includes having the county pay the 5 percent of the retirement that county employees have been paying. About $19,000 of the increase in the public safety budget is for this increase in the retirement contribution for deputies and other employees of the Sheriffs Office and jail. Another $9,000 is for increased health insurance premiums for these employees. Another $25,000 is for increased salaries for employees in the Sheriffs Office and County Jail. Most of this increase will be picked up by the state. Another $14,000 is for purchasing two cars instead of just one for the department this year. The cost for general county government is up $20,700. A part of this is also for increased health insurance costs and the increased payment for the retirement system. Also County Administrator John McCarthy is getting a $6,300 raise and an additional $5,500 is budgeted for equipment for his office. There is a $28,500 increase in equipment for the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office. The cost of judicial administration is up $25,400 in the proposed budget. Again a portion of that is for health insurance and retirement. Also there is an increase of $8,300 for equipment for the Clerk’s Office and $4,400 for microfilming records for that office. The budget for parks, recreation and culture is up $17,200. That includes the library. Part of that increase is not truly ^n increase. The Board of Supervisors appropriated $2,000 for youth sports and $10,000 for the library, neither of which were in the current budget. The budget for health and welfare is actually down about $5,400. The budget for community development was increased by $8,700, most of this is for the Planning Commission to contract for one or more studies of the village areas. At Thursday’s meeting Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he would like to cut the budget to bring the tax rate down close to the 45 cent real estate tax rate charged in Warren County. That will not be easily accomplished when the proposed budget already includes $354,700 more in spending than income and most of the increase is due to Rappahannock’s higher LCI. * Insurance Continued from page A-1 Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham took a different view. “I prefer an optimistic approach,” he said. “Everybody has full faith in us, and that’s why they don’t come out.” School Superintendent David Gangel explained that in building the budget he, for the first time, asked the supervisors to spend only the amount the state requires for an en■ rollment of 1,010. In the past the county has contributed more than the minimum share, he explained. He said the budget included more for employee health insurance and will pay the employees’ share for the retirement system. Also he said some increases were to make up for ' cuts in the current budget, particularly for supplies and repair and re! placement of equipment. The budget [ also calls for two additional bus drivers and bus routes, two additional teachers at the elementary school and one more at the high school. Col. Bingham asked if it would be possible to pay 100 percent of the cost of single subscriber health insurance. Although the budget calls for an increase of of nearly $500 in the employer’s contribution to school system health insurance, it will only cover about 52 percent of the single subscriber premium. Col. Bingham noted that the county pays 100 percent of the single subscriber cost for county employees. The projected cost next year for county employees is $2,736, a 17 percent increase over the current year’s cost of $2,328. For next year the School Board estimates that the cost of a single subscriber premium for their employees will be $3,125, a 35 percent increase over this year’s rate of $2,315. Last year the cost for school system employees was $1,454, and for county employees it was $2,114. County Administrator John Me STIHL uiTii TRIM.

School bookkeeper Bonnie Hahn estimated that it would add $136,300 to the budget to cover the full cost of health insurance. Col. Bingham said that “in view of that staggering figure” the School Board should wait until next year before trying to provide 100 percent of the cost of health insurance. Mrs. Massie said that just as last year the school budget had cut supplies on a temporary basis and added them back in this year, this year’s budget included no raises or step increases for employees. “Our teachers have been understanding,” she said. “We can’t afford to do this every year. If we’re going to keep a good teaching staff, we have to pay a good salary.” She said the board was pleased to have signed a new four-year contract with Dr. Gangel. She praised his efforts on behalf of the schools and noted that he had been able to get significant grants for the schools. She added that this could lead to “misconceptions in the general public. They ask ‘If they are getting these grants, why are they increasing the budget?’ These monies have a lot of strings,” she said. “They can only be used in certain ways. They can’t be diverted to pay regular school costs.” She added that she hoped the supervisors would support the budget, because, if it is cut, state funds will be cut also. The featured dog at the Animal Shelter this week is a hound-shepherd cross, about 2 years old, tan with black on his tail. He is very friendly and was found on Route 612, Old Hollow. Other adoptable animals are a orange male cat named Preston* one year old; a year-old male lab-shepherd cross named Chester, tan in color; and a German shepherd cross female named Stormy, about 1 1/2 years old. The shelter is open from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. The lost animal registry can be found in the Classified Section of the Rappahannock News. Why go anywhere else when excellent health care is so dose at hand? While we don’t claim to be the only hospital in the state with high tech capabilities, Culpeper Memorial does have an impressive array of experts and the equipment to back them up. Including the futuristic technology many people travel to Charlottesville for. Case in point: our new surgical suite. In it, we perform a variety of extremely technical operations. Everything from laparoscopic hysterectomies to intraocular implants to total joint replacements. There’s also Magnetic Resonance Imaging and a C-T Scanner for precise diagnoses. We even use a device called a lithotripter to break up kidney stones without using surgery. Moreover, patients here get personal attention from doctors and nurses they know and trust. Like we said, other hospitals may have some or all of our services. But if you’re wondering which hospital has all these advantages in the location closest to you, it’s Culpeper Memorial. UD CULPEPER Hands downMEMORIAL HOSPITAL The Right SkiUs. Right Here. Library future debated By SHARON KILPATRICK Rapiwhannock Nm SU/T Writer With most problems ironed out at the new library building and fiscal problems under control, the Library Board is ready to discuss the future. Board member Grace Sims said one thing she learned at a conference for library trustees is that a library should not try to do everything. She said the library should concentrate on doing up to three things really well. , The board has been considering how much to be involved in the “information age” of computers. One possibility is to become a part of an information network. This would enable not only patrons in the library, but also anyone in the county with a computer and a modem, to participate in the network. The board wants to find out how much interest there is in the community for such a service. Member Helen Platt noted that the “clientele is geared to what we are.” Chairman William Young agreed. “We can’t drop the services that have built the library,” he said. Librarian Nikki Lynch will prepare a survey to be used with library patrons and others in the community not now using library services. Mrs. Lynch is also studying library usage during various hours. She noted that on average about six people come into the library between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. On the other hand, many more people are in the library between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. She noted that other libraries are open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. She reported that she, assistant librarian Elizabeth Jones and Roberta Anderson visited the Library of Congress to pick out books that library was giving away. She said they acquired about $3,000 worth of reference books that are more current than ones the library now has. Stones from the original White House were donated by George and Lydagene Muth. They will be used in building a base for a new flagpole. Funds collected as a memorial for Isaac Parrish will be used to pay for the flagpole. The board agreed to seek additional bids on regrading parts of the driveway and trying to Fix the ditches along the driveway to prevent erosion. The board agreed to see if this work would take care of problems without hard surfacing the driveway and parking areas. The board also agreed that all groups need to check with the librarian before scheduling any events at the library. 23 Southern States**#?

The Lady Panthers continued to rely on a well-balanced offense and impenetrable pitching by Susan Payne in winning two away games, 9-7 at Page County April 15 and 11-7 at Manassas Park April 24. Against Page, Rappahannock was down by two runs going into the top of the seventh and final inning, when they scored four runs. Payne retired the side in the bottom half of the stanza, preserving the Panthers’ 10th win of the year. All-district player Sherron Boddie went 3-for-4, and Lori Paratore had( a two-RBI triple to lead the team. Payne had six strike-outs and only three walks. Rappahannock again found itself behind against Manassas Park, shut out until the fourth inning. “We hadn’t practiced or played in a week, and it showed,” said Coach Renee Leake. “We were real flat.” After shaking off the game’s | USDA Choice i Beef Boneless I / Shoulder Roast • r • , .

Emma Swatman, Bonnie Jewell, Leah Marlett and Boddie all had two hits, and all had doubles. Rappahannock totalled 13 hits. Dietrich Beaver's three-RBI triple in the top of the seventh “secured the win,” said Coach Leake. The coach said the team’s defense, led by Boddie, Swatman and Angela Pullen, was the best it has been all year against MP. Leading hitters through the Manassas Park game: Boddie, .697, .844 on-base percentage (OBP); Marlett, .600, .727 OBP; Marsha Freeman, .519, .762 OBP; Beaver, .381, .683 OBP. “I knew we were going to have a good season,” said Coach Leake, which would have been to finish in the top three or four. “But to be 11-0 right now feels great. It’s unbelievable." Two wins this week will clinch at least a tie for the regular-season title. The team finishes up with games at George Mason May 1, Brentsville May 8, and Central May 11. The April 29 home game against Clarke was too late for press deadlines. Baseball team ties Page Co. So far this season, the Rappahannock High baseball team has been every game it’s played—except the first one, when they were blown out by Page County, 12-0. Since that first game Page has gone on to first place in the Bull Run District standings, but April 15 they hosted Rappahannock and were lucky to come away with a 7-7 tie, called because of darkness. Rappahannock built a 3-1 lead going into the bottomt)f the third inning, when Page exploded for five runs. The teams traded runs in the fifth, and Rappahannock got another score in the sixth, making the tally 7-5 going into the top of the seventh. Richie Lillard hit a bases-loaded double with one out in the top of the seventh, scoring Hunter Foster and Kevin Jolliffe and tying the game. Page came to bat in the bottom of the seventh with the game even and darkness approaching. Pitcher J.C. Welch, who had come in in relief for starter Kevin Daymude in the sixth, forced Page’s number two hitter to ground out, then struck out the next man looking. With two out, Page proceeded to load the bases with a double and two walks. Welch then fell behind the next hitter 3-0, and another ball would have lost the game. He fought back to a full count, then watched as the Page batter flied out to left field to end the inning. It was still light enough for Rappahannock to bat, but Page would not have had a chance at the plate in the eighth, so the umpire called the game. Against Manassas Park April 24, Rappahannock gave up two home runs and failed to mount much of an offense, losing 4-1. The tie and the loss left the Panthers’ record at 3-61, still in contention for a playoff spot going into the last couple of weeks of Bull Run District play. Statistical leaders through the Manassas Park game: Kevin Jolliffe, .267 average, 8-for-30; Justin Ferrence, .257, 2-for-3 against MP; and Kevin Daymude, .250 average, 10 RBIs. The Panthers are hitting only .218 as a team, with no home runs all season. Rappahannock played Clarke April 29 (too late for deadlines), plays at Mason May 1, home against SJ-Mount Jackson May 5, at Brentsville May 8, and at Central May 11. Girls track team wins first meet The Rappahannock girls track team won its first meet in at least two years recently, beating out a field of four in an April 8 meet in Fairfax. Led by first place finishers Jessica Arnold in the mile (6:32), Sherry Shaw in the two-mile (15:47), and the four-by-440 relay team, the Panthers racked up 59 points to win by two. The final score: Rappahannock 59, Manassas Park 57, George Mason 55, Model School 40. The boys came in second, as the score was George Mason 84, Rappahannock 55, Manassas Park 48 and Model School 46. Jamie Finchum won the discus, and senior co-captain Ryan Welch took first in three events: the triple jump, high jump and long jump. Jason Waters took the two-mile with a time of 11:13.

Educational alternatives subject of lecture In concentrating on the world around us, meaning the environs of Rappahannock County, the Library’s First Friday Program series is focusing on education for adults, 8 p.m. May 1. There are opportunities for new perspectives, avenues toward new horizons in every direction today, and speakers have been invited from Shenandoah University, Lord Fairfax Community College, Georgetown University, and from Rappahannock’s continuing education program within our own public school system. Representing Shenandoah will be Ralph E. Lewis. As director of continuing education, his main concentration is on working with area school division teachers who are pursuing master’s degrees. As director of summer programs, he coordinates programs that are centered at Shenandoah as well as programs such as the National Elderhostel program. In addition to his involvement at Shenandoah, Mr. Lewis serves on the Frederick County Personnel Committee and the boards of the Winchester Free Medical Clinic and the William Henry Evans Home. He is commissioner of the Northwestern Basketball Officials Association and he enjoys officiating basketball at the high school level. Lord Fairfax is to be represented by Susan E. Collins, whose role is that of director of student support services. Her responsibilities include the coordination of all student support areas—admissions and records, counseling, financial aid, learning assistance center, career planning and placement, high school recruitment, and student activities. Her duties also include the supervision of the college’s FIPSE drug-and-alcohol prevention program, and the college’s gender equity program for single parents, displaced homemakers, and single pregnant women. James Thomasson, associated for 25 years with Georgetown University, is a long-time resident of Rappahannock County, and together with his wife, Nan, an entrepreneur of great versatility. He will speak of the special intensive learning program at Georgetown. Educated in Connecticut at Wesleyan and with a master’s and doctorate from Yale, Mr. Thomasson was the first Protestant in the Theology Department at Georgetown and helped to found the Liberal Studies Program there 15 years ago. A core faculty member since, he is the director of the final “Integrating Seminar” required of all concluding students. David Gangel, superintendent of public schools in Rappahannock, has brought new life to the county’s educational system. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s in Ohio, at Bowling Green State and at Miami University, coming to Virginia for his doctorate in education at Virginia Tech and at Shenandoah. He has taught biology and headed the science department at the high school level, has been assistant principal, dean of students, and principal in both middle school and high school, director of secondary instruction, and adjunct associate professor at Old Dominion University. These educators will discuss their schools’ innovative programs, which provide growth and change opportunities for those not currently in school. Remember that this First Friday Program falls on the first day of May (tomorrow) at 8 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Public Library. An opportunity to talk with the presenters will occur when refreshments are served at the program's conclusion.

The show is titled ‘Earth, Air, Water and Fire: The Elements.' Opening reception is at the gallery, 4 p.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, May 2. 'Rhythms' cast comprised of county women Chris White of Washington, Va., a nationally produced playwright, will be presenting the premiere production of her new play, “Rhythms,” in the Ki Theatre Building (the old Town Hall) in Washington, Va., at 8 p.m. on May 29,30 and 31. “Rhythms,” which is set in Rappahannock County, will feature local actresses Dinah Pehrson-Day, Page Smith, Robin Herr, and Sheila Simms Watson, as well as regional performers Belinha Beatty, Diana Morgan and Stephanie Mastri. Through the extensive use of monologue (as well as dialogue), spotlights, simple songs and props, and some movement and dance, the play goes into the hearts and mindB of seven women and the rhythms that pulse through their lives. Ms. White, her husband and their two young children moved to Washington, Va. a year and a half ago. Work on this play started not long after the move; “the interest and depth of this area’s residents, and the sensuality and spirituality of the place has been my inspiration for this project,” said Ms. White. She also said she hopes the play will feel both very familiar and very universal to those who come to see it. * Tickets can be purchased at the following outlets: Mountainside Market, Washington; Natural Marketplace, Warrenton; New Leaf Bookstore, Warrenton; Better Thymes, Front Royal; Culpeper Music, Culpeper; Feather on the Wind, Charlottesville; and Down to Earth, Sperryville.

Garden Club tours homes in Clarke Co. By BETTY SMITH Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Garden Club, together with members from the Culpeper Garden Club, traveled by bus to Clarke County Saturday, April 25, to visit four houses opened to the public for Historic Garden Week in Virginia. The properties, all built in the early 19th Century, have been restored and remodelled for life in the 19908, and are working farms, raising sheep, horses or cattle. Clifton, built of local stone on a grand scale in the Georgian manner, with stunning views of the Blue Ridge and surrounding countryside, boasted 25-foot portico columns and 12‘/2-foot ceilings in its large rooms. Roselawn combined American antiques with modern art and furnishings, many with themes of horses or roses, both hobbies of the owners. Elm Spring, a farmhouse transformed into a luxurious French Provincial retreat complete with red tile roof, overlooked fields of sheep and horses and beautifully landscaped gardens. Long Branch, the most imposing of the properties, is part of a 5,619acre tract inherited from Robert “King” Carter to whom it was granted in 1730 by Lord Fairfax. Greeting visitors in the main hall was a splendid spiral staircase, rising unsupported three stories to a glass observatory on the roof. Spectacular views were possible in every direction, of the distant mountains, the surrounding countryside, and fenced fields for cattle and horses. Members enjoyed lunch on the premises of the Blandy Experimental Station at the Virginia State Arboretum, and viewed many of the trees, shrubs, and herbs on the 100acre farm. Shenandoah hosts public The Shenandoah National Park Research and Resource Management Symposium will be held May 68 at the Luray Inn and Conference Center. This biennial gathering of scientists, natural and cultural resource managers, land-use planners, public administrators, conservationists, and interested citizens is held to foster communications between the National Park Service and others that share common goals and concerns. The theme of this year’s event is “Resource Protection through Cooperative Planning." Activities of special note include two panel discussions: one titled “The Challenge of Cooperative Land Use Planning,” and the second titled “Biodiversity, Everyone’s Business.” The second day will feature summaries of 12 studies that have recently been completed in the park. Topics of these studies include several discussions on the effects of add precipitation on park streams and other resources, research on black bears, rattlesnakes, forest insect pests and lichens, long-term resource monitoring, and others.

AlCom Newjpapers Suff PhouvChm Moorhead The bugler calls the horses to the post before each race. •" 4 9 Top competition, special events mark 67th running By HILARY S. GERHARDT and BETSY BURKE Like clockwork, the first weekend in May brings the running of the prestigious Virginia Gold Cup. The day at the lush Great Meadow course offers more than just spectacular thoroughbreds galloping at breakneck speed over challenging courses, tailgating and socializing. Special events and pageantry surround the classic day of racing. The 67th running of the Virginia Gold Cup on May 2 begins for spectators at 10 a.m. when the gates open. At 10:20 a.m., the U.S. Mounted Police Parade will demonstrate the skills needed by both horse and rider for crowd control and policing of the nation's parks. The Park Police will actually help with the crowds at Great Meadow throughout the day. Next, foxhounds owned by area residents will test their speed and noses in the foxhound races set to begin at 10:45 a.m. Small, medium and large ponies test their speed as well as they com Try our newly formulated line of quality Co-op Pace-maker horse feeds.

A rousing pageant of horses representing 12 breeds will delight Gold Cup visitors at 12:25 p.m. Presented by the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum, the Parade of Breeds will capture the beauty and grace as well inform viewers of the dynamic roles horses have played in the cultures of the Americas. The parade will feature a variety of breeds including an andalusian, a Peruvian paso fino, a powerful clydesdale and the everpopular quarter horse. Additionally, each rider will wear ceremonial attire or traditional riding apparel. Upperville’s Lysa Burke Horkan, a successful show rider, will sing the National Anthem at the opening ceremonies, beginning at 1:15p.m. At 1:20 p.m., riders are up for first race, with post time at 1:30 p.m. All of the pomp and circumstance lends itself to the day of first-class hunt racing.The featured event is, of course, the $40,000 Virginia Gold Cup timber stakes race of four miles over the challenging Gold Cup timber course. In its 69th running, the Gold Cup has enjoyed five different homes. Initially run at the Oakwood course, the race moved to Broadview, then to Clovercroft, back to Broadview, and finally to Great Meadow. Great Meadow is the first home of the race that has the capability to structure the footing conditions. The irrigation system insures that the course is in optimal running condition. A lush grass cover is in place to give a good grip to flying hooves on Saturday. For horses and riders not of the stuff to contest the four miles and 23 fences of the Gold Cup race itself, there are six other choices on the card. Stakes horses preferring to run over the national hurdles can take a chance in the $40,000 Continental Cup. The finale at the Gold Cup meeting will be an optional claimer over brush. Horses en tered in this race are either nonwinners of two races over hurdles, or are entered to be claimed for $15,000, regardless of'previous earnings. A ‘claim’ may be placed on any horse entered for that price. The person presents a certified check for that amount to officials before the start of the race. The runner is then the property of the person placing the claim at the finish of the race — win, lose or draw. Non-winners over timber are invited to run in the first race of the day. The maiden timber race will run 3'/4-miles over 17 timber jumps. There is proof positive of the ability of maiden winners from past meetings at The Plains — in 1990, Joe’s OK won this contest, beating Pleasant Sea (who has gone on to win multiple timber races) and Song Of Songs (Joe Rogers’ Chilean-bred timber topper, a winner of many jump races.) Joe’s OK went on to win the 1990 International Gold Cup here and the 1991 Virginia Gold Cup. For more information on tickets and reserved spaces, call 3471215 or 1-800-69-RACES.

Three previous winners may vie for Gold Cup title By BETSY BURKE One of the finest fields of thoroughbreds ever to contest the Virginia Gold Cup will strut onto the Great Meadow race course Saturday May 2. Fourteen horses are nominated for the day’s featured event, the $40,000 Virginia Gold Cup. Eight are nominated for the co-fcatured race over hurdles, the $40,000 Continental Cup. Nominations closed April 20 for the two races, though supplemental entries will be accepted until April 27. At press time, a final program was unavailable. See the April 30 edition of the Horse and Field Section of the Fauquier Times-Democrat. Heading the list for the timber stakes is last year’s Gold Cup victor, Joe's OK. The Alicia Murphy-trainee has won over the lush Great Meadow turf twice in recent years — He also won the 1990 International Gold Cup. The 1990 NSHA Timber Horse of the Year has prepped this spring for big races late in the season, including the Gold Cup. Most recently, he finished second in the American Grand National, April 18. 1991 Timber champ, Gus's Boy, will try to thwart Joe’s effort. Winner of the apprentice timber contest last spring, Gus's Boy is now being trained by Montpelier horseman, Woodbury Payne. He won last year at Hardscuffle, St. James, Genesee and Montpelier in his championship season. The bay 6-year-old has prepped for the ’92 renewal by racing around the VSA point-topoint circuit. The 1988 timber champ will 'rrntasnxmm Mmmrnmmmtam Primal Bee is one of two mares entered in the featured Gold Cup race. also join the line-up. Scanden Stables’ 10-year-old Von Csadek has the distinction of being the only contender with international experience. After winning the ’88 Gold Cup, the gelding shipped to England to train for the English Grand National at Aintree. He won three of his prep races but was injured in the process and was brought home. David’s Passing has not yet won a national award for his prowess over the solid obstacles, but he may be well on his way this year. The gray Pass The Tab Photo by Douglas Lee» Joe's OK won the 1990 International Gold Cup. In 1991, he won the Virginia Gold Cup.

Prolific ’92 point-to-point winner, Tom’s War, is also nominated for the important stake. Ready Snodgrass' Tom Rolfe gelding was hot-to-trot in ladies timber competition this spring until his rider was placed on the bench with injuries. Push and Pull has already proven himself in VSA competition this spring, and on April 11 proved his prowess in NSHA company by winning the My Lady’s Manor open timber race for a pot of $15,000. The gray has winning on his mind each time out, but stops the hearts of his backers with a come-from-behind style of racing.

The owner-trainer team also have Snow Maker entered. Snow Maker won the Murray Memorial at the (American) Grand National meeting April 18. Mrs. Jack Bass and *91 leading NSHA trainer Janet Elliot have Same Echelon entered to contest the field. The blaze-faced bay most recently proved second best in the Middleburg Hunt Cup. He should be on the improve. though, as Elliot knows just how to prime a horse for a big race. The $40,000 pot makes the Gold Cup indeed a big one. Cotuit is another one who knows his way around Great Meadow. Turney McKnight’s homebred won his maiden outing here at the International Gold Cup meeting last year.

He has not graced the winner’s enclosure since, but will attempt to make good things happen at Great Meadow. Second in the April 12 four mile Eustis Cup at Oatlands, Primal Bee will run for glory for his DeMichele connections. Judith DeMichele owns and trains the dainty mare, and either son Peter See Horses, Page-7 Maryland’s Jack Fisher and Push and Pull have been a winning pair in several 1992 outings.

Henry Myers has his own Castle Corner on the list of nominations. The strappy chestnut has been running mostly in foxhunters races carrying her owner, but will step up in competition to face the big boys. The final nominee for the ’chase is Fancy Hill Farm’s Reputed Dancer. Nancy Knox trains the 7-year-old gelding who raced in second at the St. James Farm in Chicago over the threemile cross country course. He will face the stiff post and rails at the Gold Cup with regular rider Jay Meister holding the reins. The three-mile. $40,000 Continental Cup is slated to run as the fifth race on the exciting Gold Cup card. The handicap hurdle has drawn eight nominees and will undoubtedly attract many supplemental entries as the race picture clears. Stakes placed runner, Timely Encounter, heads the list of entrants.

Gold Cup races to success in national sports television By HILARY S. GERHARDT In the past three years, the Virginia Gold Cup races have moved into a new realm. The steeplechase classic now is accessible not only to the 50,000 spectators, but to 30 million more via their television sets. The 67th running of the Virginia Gold Cup will be nationally televised beginning at 3:30 p.m. May 2 — in time for the start of featured four-mile $40v000 Gold Cup timber race, sponsored by BMW, and the three-mile $40,000 Continental Cup hurdle race. The live show will be aired for 90 minutes, followed by the ABC Network coverage of the famed Kentucky Derby. The Virginia Gold Cup show is produced ,by Home Team Sports (HTS) and aired live over the Prime Sports Network (PSN), a distribution that covers coast-tocoast. “HTS is a very talented, enthusiastic production outfit,” said executive producer, William Chewning of Hume. “They are very technical and professional. HTS covers a lot of the major grandprix competitions which has helped develop their equine coverage into steeplechasing.” Chewning and his production team are leading the field in the effort to bring steeplechasing to a national audience. “Steeplechasing comes across [on camera] very well because you are dealing with all the elements of sports drama, combining the danger of head-to-head thoroughbred competition and the danger of jumping. “This is a sophisicated shoot. There are 10 cameras, seven of them on course. There are microphones on jumps, wiring under the course and radio frequency cameras,” he explained. “We have become really innovative in these three years. Steeplechasing is a real test for television.” In addition to the live show that will include paddock interviews, crowd shots and coverage of the Gold Cup, Continental Cup and maiden timber, there will be a few pre-taped features. A story on top women riders will include a round-table discussion with Sanna Nielson, Michele Rouse and Joe Gillet as moderator. Another feature will showcase the course, discussing its design, the fences and how its ridden. A comparison of the Gold Cup, the Maryland Hunt Cup and the Grand National are compared in a third feature. “We really work to break down the barrier between the crowd arid the races,” Chewning said. This year, ABC News’ Senior General Assignment Correspondent Bettina Gregory will anchor the live show. Jockeys Joe Gillet and Michele Rouse and horsewoman Eve Lloyd Thompson, who have been with the show since its inception, will do live interviews with winning jockeys, owners and trainers as well as the crowd. All-Pro Redskin Hall of Famer and horseman Sam Huff and broadcast journalist Carol Holden also have joined the team. “This effort is very important because we are taking steeplechasing nationally. Steeplechaing deserves this because it is such as wonderful sport,” said Chewning. William Chewning, left, Michele Rouse, Joe Gillet and Eve Thompson put the production together. Chewning sees show through artists’eyes William Chewning is a horseman and artist who has found a new challenge in the rapidly changing world of sports television. As an executive producer for the Virginia Gold Cup, he has found a way to combine a love for horses, seen through the creative eye of an artist. Painting and horses have been his life. Riding since childhood, he grew up on a horse on his grandfather’s farm. E.

Photo by Douglas Laos Charles Fenwick HI rode All Baba in the Wildcat Pony Races in 1986. He now is a leading flat apprentice. Pint-sized racers prep young riders By BETSY BURKE Opening the day of hurdle and timber races at the Gold Cup will be the ever-anticipated pony flat races. Post time for the two heats will be 11:15 a.m., with paddock time scheduled for 11 a.m. Spectators are encouraged to peruse the entrants carefully in the saddling enclosure, choosing a favorite from amongst the tiny runners. “This is not only a way of racing ponies, it is also a way of propping riders to become professional and polished as they approach horse racing,” said pony race organizer, Jim Lawrence of Marshall. “Many of the riders you see racing here today in the horse races — Dawn Dugan, Chuck Lawrence, Charlie Fenwick III, the DeMichele boys (Peter and David), Patrick Worrell. They all came up through the pony racing ranks.” Lawrence also pointed out that many top race riders-tumedtrainers — Bemie Houghton, Ricky Hendriks and Speedy Smithwick — also raced ponies long before racing horses. “By being competitive and racing in these pony races, riders are put about five years ahead of the game when they get their NSHA license or flat license,” Lawrence added. Riders need experience handling the speed and quick-thinking involved in racing long before they step onto the racecourse versus older, more seasoned competition. “Thank goodness for people like Nick Arundel and Zeke Ferguson.They support this game and make it a way for kids to start,” he said. The Wildcat Pony Races are run in two divisions, one for ponies under 13.2 hands and for those under 14.2. “The small and medium ponies race about 3/8th of a mile, and the large’s run about a half-mile. They do a walk-up start with a flag and all. We do this entire thing as much like real racing as possible. The idea of keeping everything like regular racing is for both safety and educational purposes. The children are required to use break away stirrups and over-girths. Lawrence summed up pony racing when he said, “This is a great sport. You can’t suddenly become a ballerina at age 16...you have to practice your dancing before then.” The practice of race riding the youngsters gain at Great Meadow sets them right up to have a full dance card if they enter the world of professional race riding.

Back When Golden memories of Cup’s champions 10 Years Ago Today (1982)— Under a warm sunny sky, a crowd of 15,000 at the old Broadview course watched Paul Sloan ride John Neal’s Prince Saran to win the Gold Cup by four lengths over Art Dorn with John Bosley up. “Virginia Gold Cup Has A Golden Day” was the headline of the May 6 story written by June Ruhsam, Democrat special writer. The following is an excerpt. The Virginia Gold Cup races on Saturday were indeed golden — eight well-filled, competitive races, a crowd of more than 15,000, warm, sunny weather, and the Broadview course in excellent condition. Winning the 57th running of the feature — itself a tough fourmile timber race for a large 200year-old trophy plus the major share of the $7,500 — was Prince Saran. Owner John Neal, wife Linda, and their three sons hadflown up from Nashville, Tenn., to watch the race. “Anyone who says the World’s Fair or meeting the president is more exciting is wrong," said Neal, while his wife added. “It’s like winning the Kentucky Derby!” Prince Saran has Virginia connections, having been sold to the Neals by J. Arthur Reynolds. He was third in last year’s Gold Simply spring Simple, confident style with a dash of tradition heralds the advent of Spring.

C up, and finished the season as the Midwest timber champion. This season he has won five of his six starts, losing by a nose to his stablemate at Oxmoor. Paul Sloan, lawyer and family friend, has been his only race rider. It was the largest Gold Cup in many years, and the largest timber race this year with nine starters. They made for a leisurely beginning for the long gallop over 23 fences with Art Dom and Pidou II leading. Both had competed recently in fourmile races —the Maryland Hunt Cup and Oatland's Eustis Cup respectively. Then Hoolee went to the front temporarily, but Art Dom passed him and kept the lead for the next three miles. Former owner Randy Waterman pulled up Pidou after the seventh, and Old Ralph and Prayful Rullah were also pulled up. Prince Saran outjumped Hoolee at the fence in front of the officials' stand to be second. Then at the second last fence he leaped to the lead over Art Dom and couldn’t be caught, winning by four lengths. Mrs. Elizabeth Todd's Art Dom, ridden by John Bosley, was second by a distance over local owner Roy Graham's Man of Rhythm, Don Yovanovich riding.

►History From Page-14 Fourth was another Graham horse, the redoubtable Boca Bird, ridden by Ready Snodgrass. 25 Years Ago (1967)—David L. (Z£ke) Ferguson’s great Leeds Don galloped away to a 25-length victory in a chilling rain to become the only horse in Gold Cup history to win the 4-mile test three years in a row and retire the Challenge Trophy. He was one of five horses ridden to decisive wins that day by all-time leading Gold Cup rider, Joe Aitcheson. “Leeds Don Thrills Soaked Crowd As He Retires Virginia Gold Cup” was the headline in the May 11 article written by Ruth Kennedy. The following is an excerpt. Driving rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the spectators as Mr. and Mrs. David L. Ferguson’s Leeds Don galloped to victory and permanent possession of the famed Virginia Gold Cup trophy Saturday. May 6, over the four-mile timber course at Broadview. For the first time since the inception of the Gold Cup race, the same horse has won the grueling contest for three consecutive years, a triumph for both horse and trainer A. Ridgely White of Middle burg. After his winning effort Leeds Don will be retiredfor the rest of the year. Four horses went postward for the 22-fence timber classic. Several times the roan gelded son of Delhi 2nd-Donna Dale put in rough fences, going almost to his knees at the seventh, but veteran champion rider Joe Aitcheson Jr. kept Leeds Don on his feet to wrest victory from defeat... Saturday might well have been termed Joe Aitcheson day as the veteran rider was astride the winner in five of the six races including the Gold Cup. He started the day winning the rauquier flate, a nuraie race, on A. Smith Bowman Jr. 's Par dor. In the two-mile Broadview, riding Impeach, he set the pace and galloped in a five lengths winner to give owner A. Smith Bowman Jr. a double for the day. Assuming command at the eighth fence of the 14 brush fences in the two-mile Robert C. Winmill Memorial race, Aitcheson eased Woodcrest’s Marcoton to a 20-length win, a repeat of their Middleburg triumph. He concluded his quintet in the flat race riding Alfred H. Smith Sr.'s Tuscalee, brush champion of 1966, in his final outing, a prep race for the coming season, to an easy victory over the field of 12. 50 Years Ago (1942)—As America went to war, the only race on the card that day was the Virginia Gold Cup timber race. Sir Romeo won this most tragedy-marred race in Gold Cup history. Seven of the 11 starters fell on hard footing. A 13-yearold son of Man of War, Blockade, who had won the Maryland Hunt Cup three years in a row and was making his first Gold Cup start, came down and died instantly at the 16th fence with rider trainer Fred Colwill. Blockade had been regarded as “The Timber Horse of the Century.” The following is a Democrat article dated May 7. When Mrs. Amory S. Carhart’s Sir Romeo crossed the finish line in the 21st running of the Virginia Gold Cup Race on Saturday the winner by eight lengths, it marked the first time in the history of the race that a Warrenton-owned horse has captured the coveted trophy. Sir Romeo not only established this record but also won his first victory in three years of steeplechasing on Saturday. The son of Sir Clarence — Silent Maid, he has been in the Carharts’ stables for seven years, and has been used as a regular mount by the Warrenton Hunt staff. Sir Romeo’s victory brings added laurels to Warrentonians since he was brought to his triumphant finish by a Warrenton boy, Robert Utterback, who gave him a strong ride, and was trained for the race by W. Anderson, an employee of the Carharts who last year rode the gelding to second place in the Gold Cup. only to have him disqualified for cutting a flag. Sir Romeo is the second regular hunt mount to win a featured steeplechase this year. A week previously, Winston, regularly hunted by Mrs. Stuart Janney, triumphed over a strong field to win the Maryland Hunt C un. Eleven of the 14 entries went to the post, with the usual casualties beginning early as Frederick M. Warburg’s Mountsville lost his rider at the second fence. Blockade, Charles E. Tuttle’s three-time winner of the Maryland Hunt Cup and considered a likely victor in the Gold Cup, died of a probable heart attack at the 17th fence. He was running a close second when he fell and never moved again. Sir Romeo set the pace from the fourth fence and was never headed, finishing in the good time of 7:35 for the stiff four-mile course. When Blockade fell. Houseman, carrying Christopher M. Greer, Jr. 's hopes for a second leg on the cup, moved up Lt. Col.

O'Keefe, Jr.’s Sun Alv placed third, and William F. Cochran, Jr. 's Clifton’s Max was fourth and the only other horse to finish. At the seventh fence Major Albert P. Hinckley’s Sky Knees lost his rider and at the eighth George T. Walker of Chevy Chase on his Metope came a cropper. Mrs. E. Douglas Prime's Kitty Kidd fell at the second turn of the course but was remounted. None of the riders were injured.

►Horses From Page-7 bred has run well for many years for young owner Laura Thiel, and seems to enjoy the longer distances. He will be one to watch in the Continental. Trainer Janet Elliot handles the conditioning for Thiel. Rainlough (pronounced rainlock) won his first start last year in tough maiden company at Southern Pines. He returned to win at Saratoga for trainer Elliot. The Graustark 4-year-old has not been seen this year, but Elliot always has her runners set to race. The final member of Elliot’s strong entry is the New Zealand mare, Woodlast. The feminine Day was twice triumphant in 91, by a combined margin of V2length. The mare does just enough to get the job done, and last year was rewarded with $32,850 for her last minute winning rushes. Dogwood Stables has for over 10 years enjoyed the top seat of syndicated racehorse ownership. Cot Campbell heads the company, which purchases promising youngsters and divides them between six to forty owners.

Former Old Dominion Hunt Master of Foxhounds, Hopewell raced the gelding at the Feb. 15 Southern Pines (S.C.) races, where he won in a canter. Chesterbrook’s Western Run is also entered to run in the Cup. Her first ’92 meet was April 19 when the Jeremy Gillam-trainee raced in the cross-country Alfred M.

Sea offaces Record crowds have eqjoyed the Virginia Gold Cup races at Great Meadow for many years. ►Chewning From Pact-8 the Maryland Racing Commission for 17 years. His father was also a successful amateur rider, who had horses with Bobby (H. Robertson) Fenwick in Butler, Md. Those were the years of horses like Jay Tramp and Mountain Dew and riders like Tommy Smith and Janon Fisher. To Chewning, Maryland racing is full of legends. “I think most people in steeplechasing of my era are all students of Mike and Paddy Smithwick in one way or another. Whereas, most kids had baseball or football heroes, I had the riders of the day,” he said. Chewning’s first win over fences came in 1968 in the Eustis Cup at Oatlands. He was 17, riding his mother’s hunter. He was hooked on racing and there didn’t seem to be much question about his future. On the other hand he always had one foot in the art world’s door. After college he founded and ran the nationally recognized Stable Gallery, in Washington, D C., from 1970-1975. The gallery world became too distracting, and he gave it up to concentrate on his own painting and the horses. He began riding for trainer Thomas Voss, in Monkton, Md. Voss also comes from a great line of horseman and artists.With these shared interests they were able to work well together. Chewning remembers that time as good years for them both. They won a lot of races, and it seemed as if every horse they touched became a star — Wild Sir, Cookie, Mt. Moran, Aruhappy, Bupersrose, Blue Nearco, Shy Donald, Kelly’s Hero. They were all stakes winners. Chewning resumed his art studies at The Maryland Institute where he received his masters’ degree in painting. These were perfect days to Chewning — galloping horses in the morning at Pimlico and painting all afternoon. Moving back to Virginia, Chewning married, built a training bam in Hume, and found The Virginia Gold Cup on the verge of diving into the world of national television. Chewning believes the Virginia Gold Cup has become a flagship of American Hunt Meetings. “The standards we set here are very high, and there is no reason for our television to be any different. We do one of the most sophisticated shoots in racing today, with eight to ten cameras to capture every movement of the drama of a race. We even put a microphone on a jockey so the audience can experience the thrill of going postward. If you have ever been in a pack of running horses, or ever experienced the thrill of watching horses jumping then you know the feelings we are trying to capture. “Steeplechasing is on the verge of going national with its television profile, and we are trying to avoid the dull coverage that has haunted racing for years. Chasing has all the elements except education and acceptance by the public. Look what television has done for tennis, skiing and now figure skating. We’ve got even more raw material to work with, our job should be easy,” he said. _ — By VICTORIA L. PETTY GET A JUMP ON THE ACTION WITH A 1992 SUBSCRIBER PASS!
