Moore said Tuesday. Mary Louise Walker, 55, was killed when her 1991 Ford 'jaurus was hit head-on by a pickup track on Route 642, six-tenths of a mile south of Route 611. Mrs. Walker was airlifted to Fairfax Hospital by the AirCare med-evac helicopter, where she died less than two hours after the 3:30 p.m. accident. Moore said Mrs. Walker was southbound on Route 642 when a 1989 Toyota pickup track, driven by Wayne D. Dodson, 22, also of Viewtown, crossed the center line and hit her car. Moore said Dodson told him that he swerved to avoid another vehicle that had pulled from a private drive. The third driver, William G. Faunce, 53, of Gainesville, was not involved in the accident and his 1988 GMC pickup track was not damaged. Motire said that, despite wearing a seat belt and using an airbag, Mrs. Walker suffered multiple severe injuries in the accident. “She was an innocent victim,” Moore said, “someone who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Dodson remains in Fauquier Hospital undergoing treatment for extensive lower body injuries he suffered in the accident. Moore said a decision about whether charges will be filed in the accident will be made after his investigation is completed. Thomas W. MeFarland, 22, of Sperryville, was charged April 22 With driving undfei*"the'influence; driving while suspended, failure to stop for police and failure to wear a seat belt after a short pursuit ended in a one-car accident. Trooper Moore said he received a report of vehicles being operated around Sperryville in a reckless manner, and when he observed one of the vehicles, the driver fled. After driving east on U.S. 211 at a high rate of speed, Moore said, the driver lost control of the 1979 Chevrolet pickup truck. >;■ The track failed to negotiate a curve and ran off the right side of the road, crossed back over both lanes and ran off the left side of the road. It flipped end-over-end several ;times, Moore said, before coming to rest in a field near the intersection of [Route 1003. * [ Moore said McFarland, who was - not wearing a seat belt, was thrown ; from the track as it flipped, and a juvenile passenger remained inside .the truck. Both were taken to Gulpqper Memorial Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries and 1 released. The track, which was owned by panny Ray Baldwin, also of Sperryville, was destroyed in the accident. Colorful disf2lciy ,?

Tax increase draws critics Schools given no option, Gangel says By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At Monday night’s public hearing on the school budget for next year, only Newbill Miller spoke in favor of cutting the budget. “I have a concern for the future of my grandchildren,” he said. “I don’t worry that they won’t be educated in the public schools if they apply themselves. What I fear the most is that government bureaucracies at all levels and the taxation of government at all levels will take away their incentive to achieve.” He noted that the proposed school budget increase is about 13 percent, but the county budget includes a proposed 24 percent increase in real estate taxes. Schools account for over 60 percent of the county budget, he said. “If something isn't cut from this budget, there will be a tremendous increase in taxation.” Werner Krebser asked Mr. Miller, “Where would you suggest they cut the school budget, especially when most of these things are mandated by the federal and state governments?” Frank Warner asked why local spending has to go up w hen state and federal spending for county Schools is going down. School Superintendent David Gangel said the federal government had shifted responsibilities to the states and the states were shifting them to the localities. “We’re in the unenviable position of not being able to shift," he said. “And while there has been a shift in See Budget, Page A-6 Planners frown on B&B permit Private road unsuitable. By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county Planning Commission recommended approval of a special use permit for a one-chair beauty shop in Amissville, but recommended denial of a special use permit for a bed and breakfast in the Tiger Valley area. Both applications were for business uses on properties served by rights-of-way. Elsie Gheen had. applied for the special use permit for the beauty shop to be located in her home for her daughter, Cheryl Gheen, who is a licensed hairdresser. The Gheen home is served by a 30-foot right-ofway through property the Gheens also own with another daughter. The right-of-way leads to Route 611. The Gheens submitted a petition signed by 18 neighbors supporting the application. After the planners had unanimously approved the application, Mike Massie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the Planning Commission said, “If the front property were owned by someone else, I might have voted differently. I can see a situation when I would vote against a business use on a 30-foot right-ofway.” The next application was for a business use on a 15-foot right-of-way. Robert and Joan Herrema had applied for a threeroom bed and breakfast in the house they bought from Aubrey Keyser, near Jessamine Hill off Route 626. The property is on a 15-foot right-of-way that passes See B&B, Page A-6 Old Hag Bulletins Basketball camp Registration has begun for the sixth : annual RCHS “All Net” Basketball Camp.

Van Dort 'volunteered' as administrative aide By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Washington Town Council was about to adjourn at 8 p.m. after a half-hour meeting April 14 when, during the “open fofum” part •of the meeting, Louise Van Dort said she had four items to bring to council’s attention. Still the council managed to adjourn by 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Van Dort said she had resigned as chairman of the Celebrations Committee in January and somebody should be appointed in her place to plan for the Fourth of July Celebration and Colonial Christmas. She said that street signs were falling apart and that some are missing. Council member Ray Gooch was asked to survey the signs and find out what is needed. Mrs. Van Dort also said that during the snowstorm she had requested assistance from the Sheriffs Office to clear walkways so Erma Jenkins could get food and medicine to Mattie Ball Fletcher. She said she was told to contact the Virginia Department of Transportation. “But VDOT had its hands full,” she said. Mrs. Van Dort said she ended up paying someone to clear those sidewalks and later saw inmates using town equipment to clear the sidewalks in the courthouse area when the courthouse offices were closed. • “We need to have someone as a point person who has the authority of the council,” Mr. Gooch said. Charles Eldred asked if the town has an administrative assistant. When his suspicions that no such person exists were confirmed, he suggested that Town Council appoint Mrs. Van Dort as a “non-salaried town administrative assistant” Mrs. Van Dort agreed to accept that position but balked when Mr. Gooch jokingly suggested the administrative assistant would also be responsible for celebrations. Mayor Dean Morehouse noted that the town does not have the right to use trustees for labor. He said that the sheriff determines when trustees work, but there has been an informal agreement that trustees would cut grass using equipment supplied by the town. “It’s not something the town can be dictatorial about,” he said. He agreed to speak With the sheriff and WTite a letter noting that Mrs. Van Dort, as town administrative assistant, speaks for the town when requesting assistance. Library moves toward automated circulation By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Someday this summer the county library will be completely automated, with the catalogue and the checkout system handled by computer, but first the library will be closed Monday through Wednesday May 3-5 for inventory. Librarian Nicki Lynch asked to Have the library closed for five days, but Library Board members balked at that. After discussing the option of conducting the inventory with the library open or partly open, the board compromised on the three day dosing. Board member Helen Platt voted against any closing of the library. Mrs. Lynch said she had talked about her wish list with members of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library and said her first choice would be to have a bar code reader and software for computerized check-out. A $23,000 grant from the State Library is covering the cost of the computerized catalogue, but not the automated check-in and check-out. She said that the computerized catalogue would be useful to the state, but not as helpful to the librarians and library users without the automated check-out. She estimated the software and bar code reader could be purchased for less than $3,IKK). Library Board member Mary Jamieson asked if “a disproportionate amount” of the library’s resources weren’t going into computerization? She said there were other needs at the library. The board members then voted unanimously to ask the Friends for the automated circulation system.

The soccer team defeated the Central Falcons 3 to 2 in a home game last Tuesday. Rappahannock got out to an early lead on a goal scored by Eddie Sause. By the end of the first half, however, Central had tied the score with a goal of its own. Rappahannock had two goals fairly early in the second half, the first by Jonathan Maeyer in a pre-arranged play on a penalty kick. Jim Clarke scored Rappahannock’s third and decisive goal. Then the players had to hang on and prevent Central from taking their victory away. Central got one more goal, but that ended the scoring. Following the victory Coach Uli Maeyer said, “They played to what they can do today. They were just a little better than the other team. ” He was concerned about his players lack of physical conditioning, however. “They’re not in shape. They nearly collapsed in the second half,” he said. “Central has a good, disciplined team.” On Wednesday the track team participated in a three-way track meet at Manassas Park against Manassas Park and Page County. The boys squad came away with a victory over the other schools with 69 points to 49 for Manassas Park and 41 for Page. The girls came in third in the three-way meet. The Rappahannock squads had seven first place wins, eight seconds and seven thirds.

The Audit Bureau WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1993 ditoriol ___ River's effects felt here For time untold, the Rappahannock River has remained a pristine backwater, an ever-flowing stream channeling the runoff of the Blue Ridge. Industrialization, suburban sprawl, water degradation, these are problems that plague other counties and locales. Rappahannock — county and river — has been spared the effects of having just too many humans on too small a land. Virginia intends to keep it that way. The state’s Department of Water Quality, formerly the Water Control Board, is considering designating the Rappahannock River as an exceptionally pristine waterway worthy of special protection. In state bureaucratic lingo, this is called a “Tier III” designation. If approved by the state, the Tier III designation would include waters of the Rappahannock from Chester Gap to Carter’s Run and from Kelly’s Ford, south of Remington, to Mott’s Run, near Fredericksburg. Essentially it means that nobody will be permitted to dump or discharge any additional wastes into the river — or into any stream that flows into the river. Ever. Rappahannock will be saved from the plight of polluted . rivers and dead streams — a scene one can survey throughout urbanized America. But it will also be denied the ability to develop. Currently the Sperryville sewage treatment plant is the only such facility in the county. Although the plant dumps its liquid waste (politely called effluent) into the Thornton River, eventually this makes its way into the Rappahannock. Under a Tier III designation, the plant would be forbidden from increasing the amount effluent it discharges. And, there could be no future development of new sewage treatment facilities — either in Sperryville — or anywhere jplse in the county. £ What it all boils down to, is that under Tier III, large yubdivision-type development, such as in Loudoun, Fairfax Snd Prince William counties, would be impossible. 2 Nearby Fauquier county is currently struggling with Jvhether to become more urban — like Fairfax — or whether it Should retain its rural lifestyle, whether to fight the Top Tier River Virginia's Department of Water Quality wants to designate two parts of the Rappahannock River as ‘tier III' or highest quality waterways, t j v / Times-Democrat Graphic/John Bretschneider Tier III designation, or to accept it. It’s Rappahannock County’s turn, also, to decide whether it wants to embrace the Tier III environmental protections — or if it wants to fight for the right to develop. Residents and officials must choose whether Rappahannock County’s journey will be one of a country road, or a suburban byoass. An chance. st decide soon — there may not be another ' ..— - ■ ■ - ■ ■ Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The county’s fastest residents, Jason Waters and Nina Stainer, display their Eva Smith trophies following the 10K. f »i U Letters to the Editor RAWL asks for support To the Editor: Recently, the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League asked the people of our community for financial help to send our shelter manager, Mary Lou Walters, to an Animal Care Expo in Orlando, Fla. We are pleased to announce that because of the generous donations that came in, Mary was able to attend this event. We want to extend our thanks to those of you who made this trip a reality for RAWL and Mary Lou. The Expo, put on by the Humane Society of the United States, proved to be a source of invaluable information to our organization. Mary attended seminars on rabies, fundraising, grants, direct mail fundraising, Operation Outreach USA, The Year of the Cat, feral cats, and more. She was also able to talk with many distributors and obtain information on their products. The entire trip was a resounding success, and will prove beneficial to both RAWL, and the animals in our care. In addition to being a great source of information, the Expo was also a window to the pet overpopulation crisis that exists in the United States today. The grim reality is that over 20 million domestic dogs and cats, lose their lives in animal shelters across the country each year. It is RAWL’s policy to try to find homes for all the animals that come into our care. The unfortunate fact is that we are finding it increasingly difficult to do. It is not that homes do not exist out there for our animals, but it is because we are so limited on space at the shelter. By law, shelters are required to keep an animal for five days, after whcih the animal is placed for adoption, or euthanized. The average stay for an animal at our shelter in 1992, was 12.5 days. In other words, it takes about a week to find a home for an animal at the shelter, once its five days are up. Thus far we have been able to provide the extra week for an animal, because we have had the space. Unfortunately, this year people in our county are relinquishing ownership of animals, and the animal warden is bringing in strays at a faster rate than we are able to keep up with. In order to save the lives of animals whose five days are up, we have been placing animals in foster care homes. This is also becoming harder to do. The bottom line is, that although we know our community is unique in many ways, we are right up there with the rest of the U.S., when it come to the pet overpopulation crisis. RAWL does not • want our county shelter to become like most shelters across the U.S. We do not want to participate in mass euthanization as a solution to to the problem. In order to do this, we need community support, action, and as always, funding. RAWL is trying to bring the message of spaying and neutering to our community as the first step in the solution. We are in the process of setting up a spay/neuter fund to assist those individuals who can not afford the entire cost of the operation. We hope to have this program in full swing in a few months. RAWL would like everyone in our community to visit us at the shelter. Often we hear that many people do not come to the shelter, because it is too depressing. Although it is depressing when any healthy adoptable animal does not have a permanent home, you can rest assured that at our shelter, we do all we can to find homes for each of our animals. We want the community to overcome their anxieties and predetermined notions of animal shelters, and come and see what The Rappahannock Animal Shelter is really all about. With RAWL and our shelter manager, Mary Lou, in charge, you need not be haunted by the faces of animals doomed to die. Instead, you will see animals that are awaiting loving homes, and people doing everything in their power to get them there. Although the shelter has been full to capacity each day of this new year, not one animal has been put to death simply because we could not immediately find it a home. Come and visit us. Ask questions, and if you have some extra time, volunteer to help. In the process, you, like RAWL, will become informed, and perhaps together we can work towards a solution to the pet overpopulation crisis in our community. LISA M. REID President, RAWL Many made race a hit 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 contributed to making the 15th annual Fodderstock 10-K such a success. First, for their generous sponsorship, the Inn at Little Washington deserves to be JbinglM^ut, along with its proprietors,/PSrtrfek O’Connell and ReinhardH^nch. Additionally, Blue Ridge Technologies, Real Estate III, Farmers & Merchants Bank, Roy Wheeler Realty, Rappahannock Realty, Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Flint Hill Store, Hillsdale Grocery, Harris Hollow Frozen Foods, Hackley’s Store, Sperryville Corner Store, Early’s Carpet, Viewtown Market, the Rappahannock Farmer’s Coop and the Laurel Mills Store 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, to Wakefield Country Day School for bus transportation, and to 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, as was that of the Flint Hill, Washington, and Sperryville volunteer rescue squads. 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. MCCARTHY Recreational Facilities Authority Waco assault an outrage To the Editor: • The tragic events near Waco, Texas, should give us pause. Why did over 80 people die? Whom had the Branch Davidians threatened, endangered, attacked, that our government found it necessary to make a major assault? Bradley Fighting Vehicles, which would indeed have found proper use in the Los Angeles riots or the Southern Ohio prison uprising where criminals attacked society, killed citizens, destroyed property without justification, were used in Texas against men, women and children who had attacked no one, nor destroyed others’ property. No criminal gangs there, merely people who search for meaning and truth strikes most of us as misguided — but, that’s their right, isn’t jt? Our is, or was, a free country. Those who founded it, whose ideas we honor, revere and follow — at least in a bus — believed in limited, very limited, government. They would not have accepted what has just occurred in Texas. Published stories show everyone had willingly joined the Waco compound; no neighbors had complained; early in the seige a local policeman was quoted- as saying that there had never been problems there, that once a summons had been served on Koresh and the matter settled easily. Couldn’t ATF have done the same? Our governments exist to serve ■ America’s citizens, not to chaperon,, dominate, direct their thoughts off,, herd them around a la Hitler, Stalin.-,; Mao or Castro. Why did the ATF-j stage the Feb. 28th raid? BecauseJ there were weapons, even many,,, weapons, in the compound? The Sec-Ia ond Amendment guarantees “the right of the people to keep and bean I arms.” It is the irresponsible use oik> misuse of arms that constitutes art crime; nothing so far published1' shows the cult did, or might evened had planned to do, that. Is the United States becoming^ another country whose citizens live in fear of sudden attacks by their*' governments’ agents? The Holo-'l caust Memorial Museum dedication' should remind us of the need, al- ' ways, to restrain the constant tendency of governments to grow in,*! size, power, control. There was no excuse for the inbr . tial assault. There was no excuse for the final assault. Those responsible,. - the heads of the ATF, FBI and Department of Justice should resign at “ once. Failing that, they should be discharged, impeached, possibly-, prosecuted. .It. It is not as if there are no proper tasks for our law enforcement agencies: between one and three million, illegal immigrants enter annually;our Congress and Courts make them immediately eligible for welfareT Medicaid — i.e., pay them for stealing, breaking the law! Murders,^ mainly connected with illegal drug* traffic, are over 20,000 a year; in*, stead of really punishing the perpetrators, our authorities hound legitimate private citizens exercis-.ing their Second Amendment right! " When convicts rebel against th£’ ridiculously brief average prison^ stays and the. semi-luxurious conditions in modern American prison^,” governments negotiate; a Davidiart-" style assault against Southern Ohio’s1' 400 inmates would have been justi— lied. Nothing of the sort happened. Time to wake up, America! His*., tory’s lessons show that governL ments’ growth inevitably leads to the loss of freedom, of independence, of prosperity. Our governments today move steadily in that direction. -U Let our elected representative^ at all levels know we abhor what happened in Waco. Tell them w£ want an end to expanding govern-, ments and their generally failed pra^’. grams — budget balancing, loajQ. guarantees, economic and regulatory controls, welfare, and so on. Let us turn things around while* there is time! JOHN L. MAROCCHI; Sperryville;

Farris's Reputation A Distortion By JOHN GOOLRICK Some claim that the man who dropped by my office to see me the other day would wreck Republican chances of statewide victory this year should he be part of the ticket. | Yet talking person-to-person wjth Mike Farris, he seems nothing like the right-wing fundamentalist extremist that he is portrayed in sdme quarters. | You will pardon me, I hope, for resorting to a journalistic objectivity that I practiced for nearly 30 years for longer than I have engaged in actual politics. And no matter what my comments, Farris is still likely to be at the center of a heavy political siorm during the state Republican convention in early June. | Sitting across from me, Farris, dressed in a conservative suit, looks very young to be a candidate for lieutenant governor, but that is undoubtedly due to my own advancing afee and memories of bygone years 3hen all statewide candidates were der than me. I ! And Farris is soft-spoken and relaxed, far removed from the image promulgated by some of a hidebound crusader who focuses with zealotry din only a few issues such as abortion £(nd home schooling; while igoring tJiose issues with broad mass appeal such as public education, transportation, health care and the like. > Farris readily acknowledges that his candidacy is looked on with suspicion by some in the party who fear ifs roots lie deep in Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition and that, if nominated, he might have a fatal drag on the entire ticket. I I Virginia Through Both Barrels politics of division. Once he is nominated, Farris says, the foundation of his campaign against Democrat Don Beyer, the incumbent, will be based on his own commitment to principle of limited government and lower . taxes and Beyer’s allegiance to big government spending and support of higher taxes at the state and federal levels. In Virginia, a state carried handily by the Republican national ticket last fall, Farris believes the GOP’s best hope for success this fall is a broad appeal to the majority of Virginians who don’t like the trend toward expanded government in the state and in Washington. He compares the Republican opportunity in 1993 to the situation that faced the party in 1980 when Ronald Reagan called for a return to smaller government and traditional values. “If we don’t make a case that we want to change the nature of the government we’ve been given by Democrats in Virginia for a dozen years, then we won’t be successful,” Farris remarked. And what about the home school ing issue, which has been depicted as one that has consumed him but has little widespread public appeal. Farris responds that the issue to him has simply been one of giving those who want to teach their children at home a fair chance to do so without undue government interference. He quickly adds that the recognizes the vast majority of Virginians with children will continue to send them to public schools and for that reason “we need real reform of our public schools.” That reform, he said, should include cutting the unwieldy bureaucracy to provide more money for local schools and teachers, and giving parents considerably more choice on where their children attend schools. Farris claims his support, far from being from just one wing of the party, cuts across the spectrum and that his is a policy of inclusion that can only help the GOP ticket this fall. It is certainly not the purpose of this columnist to promote any conclusions about the battle for the lieutenant governor’s nomination that will continue to be heated for the next month and a half. But is is only fair to say that Mike Farris, win or lose, appears bright, articulate and savvy and not the one-dimensional figure who has been the creation of some elements within his own party.

Celebrity celebration for heart association ! By BOB SCOTT > Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer ! It will do your heart good to celebrate with friends and neighbors all iij a worthy cause while enjoying a gala evening of good fun and hearthealthy food. A year ago toward the end of May the local chapter of The American Heart Association courageously sponsored a first “Celebrity Waiter Dinner.” The experiment was such a big success, with the capacity crowd at the Washington VFD Hall thoroughly enjoying themselves, that they’re doing it again this year. On Saturday, May 15th, local celebrities will have to eat an early dinner so they’ll be ready to serve their honored guests at assigned tables.

You are advised to reserve tickets soon by contacting one , of the waiters or waitresses. - These Celebrity Celebration for Heart dinners have proven to be one of The American Heart Association’s most popular fun-filled fun-raising events. Co-hostesses Ann Miller and Susan McCarthy have persuaded several of last year’s “Celebrities” to apply their experience expertise to serve dinner and “entertain” for tips a^ain this year. You may be surprised at what some of them might try to do to solicit gratuities from you (all in a good cause, of course). The heart-healthy menu includes appetizer and wine or punch before tne dinner which includes tossed salad, chicken asparagus rolls, Minnesota wild rice, a vegetable, roll, a variety of desserts and coffee. The celebrity service will be provided by Vinnie Carney, Tut Day, Karen Foster, Jenks Hobson, Doug McCabe, John McCarthy, Phillip and Merle Strange, Jimmy Swindler, Barbara Slater and Helen and Emerson Williams. In addition to the healthy meal and unpredictable antics of the waiters, the program includes desirable door prizes, a witty emcee (held over Lion's auction rain or shine The Lion’s annual auction will be held on Saturday, May 8th, “come rain or come shine.” Co-Chairman Kermit Weakley and Holly Pendleton have announced that the Washington VFD Hall will be open to receive donations from noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 6th, all day on Friday, the 7th, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and again on Saturday, May 8th, the actual date of the auction, from 9 a.m. until everything is sold out.

With one hand a little is given, and with the other much is taken.” Earlier in the meeting set by the Board of Supervisors to receive public input on the school budget, Dr. Gangel had gone over the increases to the budget noting that most of the increases were required by law or were the result of the early costs for an addition to the elementary school. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said that the school system has been subject to unexpected increased costs for special education and maintenance. She noted that both school buildings are reaching an age when maintenance needs increase. ui tne special education costs sne said, “Sometimes we feel public education is taking on many more bor-i dens that belong to public health apd welfare. They escalate our budgets,; but that is our lot in life,” she said." » Mrs. Massie warned the supervi-[ sors that in the future, when School Board members are elected “they’re going to be even more demanding* than what we’ve put to you. ” She urged the supervisors fund the expansion at the element tary school. ‘The county has looked to the courthouse, the jail, the land-; fill, and education has taken a second row seat in meeting the needs of the county,” she said. ,'J Following the public hearing accountant Wally Cox said the supervisors would shortly have his copy ot the budget.

Known widely for her interpretations of Broadway and the blues, the upcoming evening will bring a more romantic spirit with the music of Kern, Porter, Gershwin, Berlin, and others, featuring favorite love songs such as “At Last,” “Star Dust,” “Hello Young Lovers.” The atmosphere is reminiscent of the old Palm Court musical evenings, as Cosham will be accompanied by Deborah Milan on cello, George Hummel on reeds, as well as Maureen Codelka on piano. Turning her back on ballads of pain and sorrow for the time being, the focus will be on songs of love and romance. In fact the mood is in tune with spring, when our “fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Beverly Cosham has performed both as a singer and actress in night clubs and theaters from New York to San Antonio and from Washing- * ton, D.C. to Los Angeles. She has appeared in specials for the Black Entertainment Network and in the series “Offbeat” for PBS. She has two albums to her credit, “Beverly Sings Blue” and “Something Cool.” Her performances have won critical acclaim: “Besides possessing a soulful yet refreshingly unaffected voice, Cosham displays excellent taste in her choice of material and arrangements,” Washington Post “...a rare find...even a phenomenon,” Talk of L.A. “Her enunciations is flawless, her range nearly limitless,” Washington Post. Tickets for the performance on May 8 at The Theatre at Washington are $10. For information or reservations, phone The Theatre at 6751253. The Theatre is located at the intersection of Gay and Jett Streets in the town of Washington. Duo's music inspired by rural living i By CAROL LUCKING Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Ki Theatre will host a concert of new songs and instrumentals from Trapezoid’s Paul Reisler and Martha Sandefer at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 7. Reisler, who plays guitar, hammered dulcimer, and bass, writes most of the material they perform. He has toured nationally and internationally for the last 18 years as well as with Ki Theatre. Sandefer is a powerful and emotional singer who also plays guitar and bass. As a professional studio singer she has recorded with artists such as John McCutcheon, Peter Kater and Paul Winter Consort member Jim Scott. Her most recent solo album, “The Dream is Still Alive,” features her original songs. In addition to their performing and recording with Trapezoid, Reisler and Sandefer have started touring as a duo. This grew out of their desire to work in more intimate settings rather than the larger concert halls that usually present Trapezoid concerts. “We want to make music that moves people. For us, a duo format allows the most direct emotional connection we can make with our audience. The song and it’s message are our primary focus,” says Sand. efer. ■"v This new music which the duo will feature in their concert is inspired by life in rural America. Reisler was commissioned to write a theme for a 13-part PBS-TV series Martha Sandefer and Paul Reisler entitled “Rural America — Legacy and Change. ” The series is currently being aired nationally through next fall. The theme music for that show is called “Rappahannock.” “That series and the poetry of Wendell Berry, a farmer and writer from Western Kentucky, stirred up my imagination,” Reisler said, “and I started writing a series of songs and instrumentals inspired by the land and people of this area of Virginia and West Virginia. That’s the inspiration for the songs we are performing together." Tickets for the May 7 perfor mance are $9 in advance and $10 at the door. They can be purchased at Mountainside Market and the Earth Gallery in Washington, New Leaf. Books in Warrenton, Royal Oaks Books in Front Royal, Culpeper Music or by calling Ki Theatre, 6751616. Local choreographer performs - * On May 1, thompson & trammell is producing a “Dance! A Celebration of Life”. This “doubledheader” concert bill is a benefit to raise money for Valley Aids Network.

In the 7 p.m. concert, thompson & trammel will be joined by Shane O’Hara of Harrisonburg, Deborah Riely of Washington D.C., and Sally Nash and The LastMinute Wood Company in Rappahannock. The 9 p.m. performance will feature works by Ann Rosenberger of Waynesboro, Brad Stoller from Charlottesville, Cathy Paine of Richmond, Chris Burnside from Richmond and Sharon Wyrrick of Rappahannock. After each performance, audience members will be invited to join a “healing circle” led by the Rev. Amy Schultz of Sanctuary United Church of Christ.

It is sometimes difficult to put our trust in others. We are often discouraged by misleading information and broken promises. Is it possible for a basically self-protective society to sanctify the unseen ... to heed the unheard? Yes, indeed it is possible. Each time we read God’s Holy Word, believe it, and fashion our lives accordingly, the possibility becomes reality. God does not break His promises. His advice is straightforward and sure.

Today, the Gold Cup has evolved into more than a race meet that attracts the finest timber and hurdle horses in America. It is a social event, a spectacle, a huge picnic and a place where diverse people converge to share a common bond of love of horses and the outdoors. Also, the Virginia Gold Cup at Great Meadow is exposed to more than just Fauquier residents. More than 40,000 live spectators from throughout the region attend the annual event. This year, 2.5 million people in the Mid-Atlantic region will have access to a 90-minute Home Team Sports telecast of the day’s racing. In addition, ESPN will show the running of the featured event on its Kentucky Derby Special program. “The best horses come to Great Meadow because of our course maintenance program, and our strong purse structure,” said Victoria Petty, race director of the Virginia Gold Cup. “Spectators look forward to the stunning panoramic view and day of championship racing.” Gates will open for the public at 10 a.m. on Saturday with prerace entertainment beginning at 10:30 a.m. Area foxhounds will test their speed and noses in front of crowd as they race at 10:45 a.m. Then small, medium and large ponies, with their pint-sized riders, will gallop over the lush Great Meadow course, vying for silver trophies. Marshall’s Jim Lawrence has ‘organized the popuIaK races for many years. These races often prep the young jocks to become accomplished race riders.

Strong Nominees Featured On Virginia Gold Cup Card Thirteen to Vie for Swan Lakes Stakes By BETSY BRANSCOME < The 68th running of the celebrated Virginia Gold Cup timber stakes has drawn the cream off the top of the nation’s crop of timber specialists nominated to race for the tantalizing $40,000 purse. As the cornerstone event on a race card rarely imagined outside of the multi-million dollar Breeder’s Cup program, the Gold Cup itself drew a total of 11 timber specialists nominated to the rich event. The entire race card crackles with excitement as hurdlers have their own stakes race to contest — the $25,000 Swan Lake Stakes. Thirteen are nominated to the three-mile hurdle handicap. The wildly successful Sport of Kings novice hurdle series also makes a whistle-stop at Great Meadow, offering to horsemen a qualifying maiden race. The Sport of Kings series, for which a horse must be fully nominated for before racing in any of the hurdle events, now features both spring and fall races. Combined with the novice races — this year for horses who did not win over hurdles prior to June 1, 1992 — is a group-of maiden qualifiers. The qualifying races guarantee the winner fully paid nomination to the year’s Sport of Kings series. Maidens are entered for Great Meadow’s race with National Steeplechase on April 26.

►Races From Page <5 trious races were made by horsemen -on Monday, April 19, with supplemental nominations accepted at the time of entry. The NSA office in Fair Hill, Md., accepts entries for all race meetings on the Monday prior to the race date. Hence, at press time, a final list of entries was unavailable. See the Horse and Field Sports section of the April 28 edition of the Fauquier Times-Democrat for a complete rundown of those entered in all races. Virginia Gold Cup On the strength of his prior racing record, Turney McKnight’s Kuujjuaq could be the odds-on favorite for the fourmile Gold Cup. The leggy chestnut, bred in Maryland by his owner, won at Great Meadow last term, taking with ease the Virginia Silver Cup maiden timber ’chase. By Run The Gauntlet, the 11year-old was an allowance-class hurdler before switching to the solid obstacles last year. He did not race after his score at The Plains until this spring. This April 17, the gelding romped home an unchallenged, 10-length victor in the $10,000 Benjamin Murray Memorial at the Grand National meeting in Butler, Md. He was ridden by John Bosley, winning rider of Joe’s OK in the 1990 International Gold Cup over the same course. In the Murray, Kutujuaq dealt a sound beating to Gold Cup nominee Snow Maker. However, Snow Maker won the Murray last year, and he has shown, his liking for Virginia soil this spring and is likely to be a local favorite. Ridden by owner Chick Owen’s stepson, J.W. DeLozier III, Snow Maker scored a hardfought victory at the April 4 Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point. The 13-year-old gelding followed up Doug Worrall is trainer of Heavenly Dance. last year’s Murray triumph with a third-placed finish in the Maryland Hunt Cup and a second over timber at Morven Park two weeks later. Last year’s International Gold Cup winner, Ninewa, looks for a repeat score over the Great Meadow course, which would be his second here in six months. The 7-year-old entry of owner-trainerregular rider Alexander GordonWatson preceded last fall’s International victory by taking the maiden heat over the big course at My Lady’s Manor in Monkton. Ninewa finished the ’92 season by placing third at both Foxfield > and Montpelier, giving him the Virginia Timber Championship crown. Winner of the April 18 Middleburg Hunt Cup, novice timber topper Hillside Spring looks like a classy runner in the making. Owner Sharon Sheppard" campaigned the Virginia-bred 7-yearold over hurdles until last spring season. The bay gelding won over three-miles at Avon, N.Y. last summer, crossing the line first next at the Warrenton point-topoint a few weeks ago.

His come-from-behind victory at Glenwood Park at the Middleburg Spring Races was telling of a horse with a strong late run. A kick in the final stages of the marathon Gold Cup has proved valuable in past years, and could make or break Hillside Spring. Shining Beacon, winner of the secondary timber event at the April 10 My Lady’s Manor, has been nominated by his owner, Sheila Williams Fisher and husband-trainer Jack Fisher. The Fisher team scored with Williams’ parents’ Push and Pull in last year’s Gold Cup. They also won with her Call Louis in ’89. Fancy Hill Farm’s No Triskadekafobia took the Murray at Butler last season. The Nancy Knox-trainee is a Maryland-bred, sired by T. V. Count. Third in last year’s Gold Cup, Song of Songs looks to improve her finish in the stake. Joe Rogers’ 8-year-old mare has excelled in local point-to-points and could be tough. Pacific Parley, a regally-bred son of Hawaii out of a Round Table mare, in ’92 won his only sanctioned start — the allowanceapprentice timber contest at the Gold Cup meet. Trainer Joe Gillet gave the first woman to win the Gold Cup Sanna Neilson a leg up for that victory, and she could partner the gelding again. Locally connected Friendly Retreat, a former Virginia champion pointer, finished second in the ’89 Gold Cup to Call Louis.

►Races From Page -6 sanctioned but nearly unbeatable runner really has a jump in him. Molly Nicoll’s runner is one to watch. Last year’s Virginia Hunt Cup winner, Heavenly Dance, will carry the colors of owner Stonesthrow Stables. The 7-year-old son of Halo is out of a Nijinsky II mare — bred for the turf for sure. The owner-bred Alfred Smith Jr.’s Hilliate, default winner of the Deep Run Hunt Cup at Richmond April 10, showed a preference for the mud and rain there, and could be due for a repeat if the going gets tough. Swan Lake Stakes The $25,000 Swan Lake Stakes drew a good group of 13 to race over the Meadow’s national hurdles. The nominees are headed by 1992 victor, Laura Thiel’s Timely Encounter. The Northfields gelding rollicked home in front twice last term, ridden by trainer Janet Elliot’s stable jockey, Jeff Teter. He likes a piece of ground, and Saturday looks to excel once again in the three-mile Swan Lake. Disqualified winner of the $100,000 American Grand National last October, Michael Murphy’s Circuit Bar preceded that mess by scoring in the $40,000 Metcalf Memorial at Red Bank, N.J. The son of fashionable jumps sire Mokhieba, Circuit Bar is a chestnut 6-year-old trained by the owner’s wife, Alicia. The gelding won $74,300 last year — and would have broken $130,000 if he had kept his valuable Grand National score. The 1992 Eclipse champion Lonesome Glory, winner on two continents last year, became the first-ever American-trained runner to win in England as he took the Cheltenham Sport of Kings novice hurdle (the very same series for which Great Meadow features a qualifying race this year.) The Bruce Miller trainee propped for his ’93 season by cantering to victory at Warrenton’s point-to-point on the flat. He opted out of the muddy Middleburg races, preferring the top of the ground and a long distance for his jumps debut this season. Winner of the $20,000 Strawberry Hill Classic, good-looking Hurler also won a stakes race over hurdles in New York last term. The gray gelding came from claiming roots, but he has matured into a useful runner for owner Mrs. John Frazier II. Another recent winner in the Commonwealth, Happy Friar is a hard-knocking claimer with some speed. The Chesterbrook nominee won three of four in ’92, and took his initial ’93 start, the optional claimer at Middleburg April 18. The bay gelding is strong and tough and seems to go the distance. Carrington Racing Stables’ Break Clean, another Kentuckybred gelding, took three ’chases in ’92, including a rich claimer at the Spa in New York. Any horse with the class to win over Saratoga’s speed-favoring strip is one to watch on the flat Meadow oval. Noel Laing victor Delessio also scored thrice last term. The gelding broke his maiden at Fairfax and didn’t look back — earning over $35,000 in the autumn season. Twice victorious in the revered Maryland Million, Dogwood Stables’ Make Azilian propped for his Swan Lakf try by easing home first in the flat race at My Lady’s Manor two weeks ago. The short pipe-opener on the turf could have the nearly black Happy Friar prepped for his Swan Lake effort by winning at the recent Middleburg Spring Races. AiCom Newspapers Staff Photo/Doug Graham Trainer Bruce Miller should pair up with daughter Blythe in taking Lonesome Glory, ’92 steeplechase Eclipse winner, to the starting post of the Swan Lakes Stake. gelding tuned just right. Ninth on the all-time NSA money-winning ’chasers list, Yaw, owned by New York’s Timber Bay Farm, has earned $314,000 in his successful lifetime over hurdles. The 10-year-old has raced for six years and won 10 times, including the New York Turf Writers Cup twice. French-bred Runaway Romance won his first start off the boat from Europe last spring, taking the $25,000 Frost stakes at Nashville, Term, in May. He followed that score with a front-running triumph at Dueling Grounds in Kentucky. Bruce Haynes’ Key To A Miracle has tallied up two wins quickly over the past six months, breaking his maiden late last fall and taking a conditioned contest this spring. The Bristol, Tenn., horseman knows how to pick ’em and may have an ace up his sleeve with this youngster. The list of nominations is rounded out by Can Cut, a winner last June over the Great Meadow timber course who has reverted to race over brush once again and maiden hurdler Karetto. The list of nominations for both races will be studied and pored over by horsemen this week, with some owners deciding to enter after the fact and some nominees deciding to take their horses out of the running even before the flag goes up. Second guessing how a horse will run on any given Saturday has been raised to an art form by many, and this nomination process is an interesting gauge of the success rate of professional thoroughbred horsemen. Photos by Douglas Lees Circuit Bar also is trained by Alicia Murphy.

Leaping To Conclusions By CHRISTOPHER CURTIS From being bom by a bog, it’s an arduous slog To becoming a show horse or hunter; Harder still for us horses who are leaping round courses, Bringing joy to the bookie or punter. Oh, how slowly days pass, when I’m turned out to grass, While my other end swishes at flies. I'm denied any fun by a cut that was done In my youth — and brought tears to my eyes. Once arrived at a yard, life begins to get hard Though the food, on the whole, isn't bad; For I'm forced to maintain a routine to be trained By a man (ora girl) called a lad. How frenetic the pace is when preparing for races, Then a long, dreary ride in the box. How I envy my friends, paying no dividends And who jump in pursuit of the fox.

And the shouting's so loud; It’s the Festival — Cheltenham — Fame! Hoi polloi, Dukes and Queens are all packed like sardines Into boxes and stands and the terraces; As I join the parade, final bets are just laid And the tipsters still whispering heresies.

Him on top sticks my nose in a fence; 1 suppose That he thinks I don't know what I’m here for. Then, around we go paddling, because someone’s resaddling — Not a ploy that the rest of us care for. “Make a line!” Up we trot and “THEY’RE OFF”—no we’re not, As a last minute turner gets cursed. At the second attempt, no one tries to pre-empt And away we all go to the first. Some you win, some you lose — when one wins, owners booze, I get neck-aching, rump-stinging slaps. If I’m not even placed, I return home disgraced; My fault — or the jockey's, perhaps? Since my new syndication, end-of-race celebration In the winner’s enclosure is hell. For I now have four owners and—an unwanted bonus — All their wives want to slap me as well. — 1988, reprinted by permission.

The Virginia Gold Cup Is In the Limelight HTS Telecast Broadcast Live To 2.5 Million Homes No other steeplechase race meeting in the country has been televised more consistently or more comprehensively than the Virginia Gold Cup. This is the fourth year a 90minute television special will be produced by the Gold Cup with Home Team Sports (HTS), an affiliate of SportsCom/Prime Network. This year HTS will use a record number of cameras — eight — and the largest production crew to date to cover the 68th running of the Virginia Gold Cup, presented by BMW. The 90-minute telecast, broadcast live to 2.5 million homes in the Mid-Atlantic region alone, gets underway at 3:30 p.m. May 1. Post time for the feature race, the Virginia Gold Cup, a classic timber race, is 3:55 p.m. HTS will also provide a satellite feed to Winner Communications, producers of ESPN’s Kentucky Derby Special, for live coverage of the Gold Cup race during that show. The Gold Cup Special will be distributed across the country to more than 28 million homes via HTS’s affiliation with SportsCom/Prime Network, a national sports programmer. am Monispms. rmspom. HTS coverage will include two full races and nine feature segments. Veteran ABC senior news correspondent Bettina Gregory will host the Gold Cup Special with steeplechase commentator Joe Gillet, who will also provide color analysis prior to each race. Michele Rouse, last year’s leading lady steeplechase rider in Virginia, will conduct interviews with jockeys on the course before and after each race. Eve Lloyd Thompson, a wellknown horse show commentator and regular on the Gold Cup Special, will cover the Member’s Hill enclosure. The Gold Cup Special will provide a glimpse of what a day at the Virginia Gold Cup races is like, complete with elaborate tailgate parties and colorful entertainment. But the focus of the show will be on racing, according to ex ecutive producer, William Chewningof Hume. “At the bottom of this is a racing show for horsemen,” Chewning said. “That’s really how the Gold Cup show started. The jockeys and the horses are the real heros, the real drama. Everything else is secondary.” Chewning went on to explain: “We do try to weave the delicate society of people who are the supporters of the racing world — those who make it all happen — into the show. We try to do this with blanket coverage of the race course itself. That’s why the show demands so many cameras. We are not running the race,” he added, “we are covering the event.” This philosophy of covering the event was echoed by HTS producer Chris Glass. “The actual event takes care of itself,” said Glass. “You’ve got the tailgates, you’ve got the action of the racing — we’re actually just spectators with cameras. We just show the people (the television viewers) what is happening. It’s a fun event and we hope that it comes across that way on television.” Although Chewning and Glass stated it simply, in actuality the AFFORDABLE .

Lee Street Old Town Warrenton 347-6643 Cup script coordinator Cynthia Ruibal plan months in advance for Gold Cup day. Feature ideas are discussed, rejected or expanded upon, and finally refined to fit into the show’s format. “The day is choreographed down to the minute,” Ruibal said, “live television is exciting but it’s also extremely difficult — any mistake can have a domino effect. The script has evolved over the i last four yers. What we want is for the viewer to see all the color and excitement of the Virginia Gold Cup.” Chewning credits the HTS team for valuable input in formatting the show for a national audience. He believes the end result is a 90-minute show that anyone can enjoy, whether or not they are familiar with steeplechasing. “The real drama is few fences from home,” Chewning said, “that’s the high point of the day. But Home Team Sports has done a great job of covering the racing action while tempering the show with human interest stories. “Their goal is to make a slick television production. Our goal [at the Gold Cup] is to make a good racing show. What we end up with is an outstanding production where the television people and the horsemen come together,” he said. Chewning believes the show’s scope is possible because of HTS’s state-of-the-art equipment. The production crew arrives the day before the races with a production truck complete with a mixing deck ' and a variety of high-tech equipment. See HTS, Page 14

Echoing Cheers 5 Years Ago May 7,1988 Seven races made up the card at the Virginia Gold Cup races at Great Meadow in The Plains. Though the feature race, The Gold Cup drew most of the attention, all races boasted top fields and handsome purses for the winners. Virginia horses, owners, trainers and jockeys made a strong showing at the meeting, especially Middleburg rider and trainer Gerry Newman who enjoyed two wins and a second. Newman piloted Margaret White’s Comchen to win the $25,000 First American Bank Cup, passing Marlboro Prince who, with jockey Michael Barry, led throughout most of the race until hobbling at the final fence. Comchen took advantage of Marlboro Prince’s bad jump to take the lead and held off McBurney and Gateshead to win by a length. Comchen, trained by Doug Fout of The Plains, is owned and bred by Margaret White of Halfway Farm in Middleburg. The $25,000 victory didn’t end Newman’s roll. After the trophies were awarded, he hurried back to the paddock to pick up another ride on Albert C. Van Metre’s Lucky Consort in the $12,500 USTA Cup. Going to the lead in this race on the final turn, Newman urged his horse, trained by Tom Pratt of Middleburg, distancing Bettina Belmont Ward’s Chilean-bred Dragonetti, Jeff Teter in the irons, by 10-lengths at the finish. Eve Fout’s Audax, Jimmy Day up, followed for third. Newman warmed up for his wins with a second in the first race, the two-mile $10,000 Stratford-Upon-Avon hurdle race. Riding Concatenation, owned by Richard P. Jones, Newman tried to catch Springbrook Farm’s Colonel Kerfoot in a heated stretch run but was beaten by half-a-length at the wire. 10 Years Ago May 7, 1983 Private Gary, the first local horse to win the Virginia Gold Cup in eight years, was greeted by tumultuous cheers from most of the crowd of more thah 12,000 picnicking spectators at the Broadview course on Saturday. Owned by Dr. Joseph Rogers, MFH of the Loudoun Hunt, and ridden by former owner Randy Waterman, Private Gary recently was named Virginia timber horse of the year because of his victories in the two toughest point-to-point races. Donna Truslow, his trainer, says Private Gary is “a very relaxed hunter” now has a record 10 straight wins, six of them in hunt meets. The charisma of Gold Cup was particulary evident on this sparkling, sunny day with the brisk breeze snapping the “racking silks” flags and sending dozens of straw hats sailing. Hundreds of children, dozens of dogs — and even a pet piglet on a leash — scampered up and down the hills from which the course is in full view. Mrs. T.A. Randolph, Mrs. Harcourt Lees, Mrs. Walter Eaton and Mrs. Sheila Isham made a trophy, presentation at the 1968 race meet. Coup-de-Vite caught up with Coit, No. 2, in the stretch to win the 1958 Virginia Gold Cup held at the Broadview course outside of Warrenton. Mrs. Harry Duffy’s good allowance winner Pestamystic showed his liking of hard going by a wire-to-wire romp in the featured William Rochester Memorial brush race. Saddled by leading trainer Jonathan Sheppard, he was ridden by John Cushman. 25 Years Ago May 4, 1968 The 43rd running of the Virginia Gold Cup Races at Broadview on Saturday were a triumph for homebred entries from Mrs. A. C. Randolph’s stables with her Walrus dominating the Gold Cup race and her Bon Nouvel scoring an easy victory in the Broadview. Walrus, ridden by Joe Aitcheson Jr. and trained by D. Mike Smithwick, took command of the field reduced to seven by the scratches of Richard Bandler’s Count Walt and Mrs. F. A. Howard’s Pirate. With one brief exception when Randy Rouse’s Buen Paisano went to the front in the long gallop between the 14th and 15th fences, the 15-year-old Walrus led throughout the four-mile, 22timber fence course to scoring a convincing 22-length victory over Alfred H. Smith Sr.’s Hunters Risk. The 10,000 spectators gathered at Broadview on an overcast See Cheers, Page 15 FOLDER HORSES i ^ have ^ FECAL HEEDS?

He served on the board of the Jefferson Savings and Loan, Highland School and was a member of the Fauquier Board of Realtors. A member of the Fauquier Leadership Conference Board, Noland served as a spokesman for community businesses and the horse industry. He was part of the soul of the Virginia Gold Cup for 45 years and played a role in founding Great Meadow itself. The epitome of the Virginia spirit of volunteerism, Noland served as paddock judge for most Virginia steeplechase meetings for many years, making the paddock dedication particularly meaningful. Monk Noland ►HTS From Page 12 In addition to the eight cameras, HTS producer Glass will use four videotape replay machines giving Gold Cup viewers across the nation an unparalleled look at steeplechasing. Glass said one of the most difficult aspects of covering the Gold Cup from a production viewpoint are the cable runs. Yards of cable must be run to the many cameras, much of which must be buried in order not to create a hazard. “We have to do our cable runs in so many different ways to avoid spectators and horses,” Glass said.“For other sporting events, r such as baseball, football or soccer, we don’t need that extra day, but because of so many different cameras and the cable and audio equipment (for this show), we have to set up on Friday.” Glass was quick to point out that while covering the Virginia Gold Cup has its logistical problems, he never has a hard time putting together a crew. “The atmosphere around [the Gold Cup] is a Super Bowl type atmosphere,” Glass said, “This is our Kentucky Derby and the crew loves it.” (Editor’s note: Information was provided by Scott Broyles, HTS communications manager, and Cynthia Ruibal, director of media relations and script coordinator for the Virginia Gold Cup.) ‘Home Team’ Coverage Home Team Sports will broadcast live coverage of the Virginia ' Gold Cup on May 1.

Gold Cup Benefits Fauquier Charities A number of charities will benefit from the 68th running of the Virginia Gold Cup. On race day, the Warrenton Lion’s Club will raffle a BMW. Proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be distributed by the Lions Club to a number of charitable causes throughout the year. The Lions — who support several programs on a regular basis including sight, hearing and drug awareness programs — also will sell in-house Gold Cup merchandise and the official race program as they have for the past several years. The Fauquier High School Booster Club will sell Member’s Hill badges on race day. Proceeds from the Boosters support the high school’s athletes in a number of ways. Each year four to six college scholarship are awarded to deserving students by the Boosters. The club also gives cash donations to each team at the school and purchases special sports equipment as the need arises. The Warrenton-Fauquier Jaycees will help direct cars to their designated parking areas for the Virginia Gold Cup. The funds raised from their Virginia Gold Cup involvement support a number of community projects. Two Boy Scout Troops will be present at this year’s races. Troop #1475 from Warrenton will count cars as they enter. Money earned that day go toward purchasing camp gear and sending boys to summer camp. Explorer Troop #1077, sponsored by the Fauquier County Sheriffs Department, will conduct a number of litter sweeps thoughout the day. By conducting the litter sweep often, their work in the clean-up of the race course after the races will be easier, and the Explorers will recycle many materials that might otherwise find they way into the county landfill. The public also is encouraged to give “Litter Police”, aka the Explorers, trash throughout the day, AC Trash of Warrenton also will aid in recycling by handing out two separate bags to racegoers. One bag should be used for recyclables and the other for the rest of the trash. Everyone will be strongly encouraged to use these bags, as they will be collected at the end of the day. Boxes for recycling also will be scattered throughout the vast parking and spectator areas.

Jean Bowman's ‘Under Starter's Orders' is the fea tured painting for this year's race meet. Bowman’s Painting Featured For Races “Under Starter’s Orders,” a painting by Jean Bowman, one of the nation’s finest equine artists, is featured in promotional materials for the 68th running of the classic Gold Cup steeplechase race. The painting depicts last year’s Virginia Gold Cup riders positioning their horses as dramatic tension mounted seconds before the starter’s flag was dropped. A Middleburg resident, the artist’s works have been featured on magazine covers both in America and Europe. Her incredible talent has been nurtured by a lifetime of dedication to perfection in the field of fine art, especially that of horses, their friends and their surroundings. Her work shows her knowledge of horses, from their bone structure and muscles, through the graceful power that draws people to them. Bowman’s work has been commissioned by notable collectors and represented in the collections of the National Museum of Racing, National Art Museum of Sports, HRH Queen Elizabeth, Paul Mellon, Richard Mellon, Forest Mars, Walter Chrysler and Madame Henessey. Kentucky Derby winners, Triple Crown winners, and countless favored horses of people in America and Europe are immortalized by the brush of this truly premier artist. A Founding Member of the American Academy of Equine Art (AAEA), Bowman served as that organization’s president from 1980 to 1992 and currently serves on that organization’s Board of Directors. The AAEA’s mission is to further equine painting as a form of artistic expression and education. “Under Starter’s Orders” is the eighth in a series of sporting paintings done each year by different artists for the Virginia Gold Cup. It is available in a signed and numbered limited edition print. For more information on the print call (703) 253-5001.

Watch It! AiCom Newspapers Staff Photo. Doug Graham The pace of steeplechasing action is swift, especially at the Virginia Gold Cup races where the best in the country converge. ►Cheers From Page 13 day mixed with several brief showers, Were treated to a long afternoon of eight races filled with spills and thrills. The Gold Cup race dominated the day with only two of the original starters surviving the trying four-mile course, in the only race still run purely for sport without benefit of any monetary reward. It was also the second trip Mrs. Randolph and Mike Smithwick made to the winner’s circle having taken the honors in the Broadview race immediately preceding the Gold Cup with Mrs. Randolph’s steeplechase champion of 1965 Bon Nouvel. Bon Nouvel scored a 20length victory over the nine-horse field decimated by Milton Ritzenberg’s Mieldor who put in an extremely bad seventh fence, losing his rider Doug Small Jr., while setting the sizzling early pace. From here to the finish, it was a question of Aitcheson keeping the big horse on top despite several rough fences in the tw'o-mile 15-jump course, to give Mrs. Randolph her third Broadview victory. She previously won in 1961 with Real Fancy and in 1962 with Gem Ruby. 35 Years Ago May 8, 1958 The timber horse of 1957, Coup de Vite, whose name was conspicuously absent in most of the prerace speculation, caught front running Coit at the final fence and flashed down the stretch for a crowd-tingling nose victory in the GoUCupSatur^, ■ , • , The estimated 8,000 spectators which pushed to the rail and cheered as Coup de Vite and Coit matched strides for the last 16thmile as if they were teamed in invisible harness were left wondering which had won even after the two horses crossed the finish. The suspense was heightened when the judges delayed several minutes before running up number nine, making Coup de Vite the official winner. The loss was a cruel blow to Thomas S. Nichols’ unheralded Coit, which grabbed the lead at the drop of the flag and stayed in front over all 22 fences of the grueling four-mile chase. Coit tapped the final fence, and Coup de Vite pulled aside and won in the last step of the stretch. Last year’s winner Grand Chal finished third for the only decent showing of the three “big horses”, Fast, Grand Chal and Ice Cutter. Fast, which fell here in the 1957 race, jumped poorly Saturday, and nearly lost veteran Danny Marzani midway through the race. The trainer-rider retained his seating, but could never get the Ohrstrom entry in the race. Dr. Rogers’ Ice Cutter, which was supposed to be the only horse to profit by the heavy track, ran nearly 30 lengths off the pace throughout most of the four miles. The time for Mrs. Henry Obre*8 12-year-old bay winner was 9:11, a full 16 seconds off last year’s pace set by Grand Chal. Coup de Vite’s victory keeps the Gold Cup in Maryland for another year. Mrs. Obre’s stables are at Monkton, while Alfred Smith, owner of the 1957 winner, is from Upper Marlboro. CompiledBy . .
