Fore for “Full Cry”

It was a beautiful fall morning for the opening of the new Pete Dye designed golf course named “Full Cry” at Keswick Hall. When Dye was asked what was his signature hole? He replied “eighteen.” When asked why, he replied, “no, all eighteen!” According to John Maginnes, former PGA Tour player, who has a talk radio show on SiriusXM called “Maginnes on Tap” about golf,

“Dye courses are distinct.”

Keswickians Sieg and Goldstein are Making Movies Film Cast Includes Local Actress Schuyler Fisk Hot Air? - Keswick residents and filmmakers Derek Sieg and Jeremy Goldstein finished shooting a new film, Hot Air, over the summer in Austin, Texas. Their work earned the film a coveted slot in the Vir-ginia Film Festival’s Spotlight on Virginia Filmmakers lineup - a centerpiece of the four day festival which begins November 6th.

“It seems like each year we receive more films, and more impressive films, that highlight Virginia film-making, and by that I mean films that were either made in Virginia, or by filmmakers with distinct Virginia ties or roots,” said VFF Programmer Wesley Harris. “This year’s crop of Virginia films was exceptionally strong, and we are proud to be able to highlight their work.”

Co-writers, Sieg and Goldstein’s Hot Air is the story of a deeply flawed, yet charismatic, aging lothario who fakes his death to escape jail time. At his own funeral, he meets the son he never knew he had. The film stars Jere Burns as Major (the father) and Matthew Gray Gubler as Lesley (the son). Also, the dram-edy casts Keswick local Schuyler Fisk who plays the role of Summer in this exciting independent film involving few of our neighbors.

Catch Hot Air at a special screening held during the festival here in Charlottesville and stay afterwards for a chat session about the film hosted by Sieg and Goldstein. To get an invitation to the free screening, contact Goldstein at [email protected]. Patron of the arts types interested in getting involved, reach out in support of the film!

9 OCTOBER 2014

It was a beautiful fall morning for the opening of the new Pete Dyedesigned golf course named “Full Cry” at Keswick Hall. The day began with a breakfast, ribbon cutting ceremony and introductions by Bill Goodwin, the owner of Keswick Hall. Bill said he called Pete and told him he “bought a golf course and could he fix it up?” Goodwin said, “I gave Pete an unlimited bud-get and he exceeded it!” Thus began a short, light-hearted Q&A before the ribbon cutting. When Dye was asked what was his signature hole? He replied “eighteen.” When asked why, he replied, “no, all eighteen!”

Pete and his wife Alice both former amateur champion golfers, decided to go into the design business in their mid thirties. Dye, who grew up in Urbanna, Ohio was from a golfing family. His father was in the insurance business but loved golf. Dye’s father built a nine hole course on land Pete’s grandmother owned that was part of what is now the Urbanna Country Club. Dye was influenced by Scot-tish course designer Don-ald Ross and studied Scot-tish and Irish courses. Over the years he has developed a sixth sense of how a golf course should lay.

According to John Maginnes, former PGA Tour player, who has a talk radio show on SiriusXM called “Maginnes on Tap” about golf, “Dye courses are distinct.” Pete says he, “designs courses the pros hate and the members love. When you get that com-bination you know you have a good course.” Maginnes said, “he accomplishes those two goals with one design. Dye is known as a punishing designer and has been called ‘The Mar-quis de Sod’”. He messes with the players perceptions on the course. For ex-ample, he will put in too many bunkers, that are not all in play, to distract the player. He is known for his small greens and penal or pot bunkers. Meaning that if you get into a bunker, you may not get out! After close to 100 world class golf courses, Pete said he “has 12 more courses he is working on!” Did I mention that he will turn 89 on his next birthday?! !

He walks all of his courses with his crew communicating verbally his likes and dislikes. He said he never learned to draw. For the “Full Cry” course here at Keswick, Maginnes said, “he put a new course in where an old onewas.” Maginnes visited during the construction four or five times. When he

saw it completed, he said, “it looked like it had been here forever [and] that’s a sign of great golf course design.” When asked if this course would put Kes-wick Hall on the golfing map, Maginnes replied “most definitely!”

At the end of the ribbon cutting, we were all invited “to the first tee to witness something never seen in golf.” Those who had signed up for a round of golf were gathered at the tee while the rest of us watched. Then, out of the woods, came Tony Gammell, Huntsman for the Keswick Hunt Club and profession-al whipper-in Sommers Olinger, walking with their pack of hounds! A few rogue hounds ran through the tent where the breakfast was still laid out and snatched a couple of biscuits! He gathered them together on the first tee for a photo op then on to his morning walk. After all, the course is named “Full Cry”!

That is a term used in fox hunting meaning the hounds are in full pursuit giving “tongue in chorus.” Hounds do not bark. They “open”, “give tongue”, or “speak”. Tony, who is responsible for the care, breeding and train-ing of the hounds, walks his hounds daily with Sommers on the roads around the golf course, a total of 3-4 miles this time of year, and in the summer 8-10 miles. His pack of hounds is counted in cou-ples. He has 30 couples or 60 hounds with him every day. It is quite a sight to see. For a moment you are back in the Irish countryside watching a sporting tradition that is very old. Tony, from County Limerick in Ireland, has been

with the Keswick Hunt Club for 15 years.

When I asked Tony what he observed about the difference between the oldcourse and the new course, he said “it looks like a links course to me.” When asked what he meant, he replied “it’s undulating like the Irish golf courses along the sea.” Perhaps to Pete that is the influence so many years back of Donald Ross, the Scottish designer of over 400 courses in the United States, who died in 1948.

With the new Pete Dye golf course now open at Keswick Hall, players are invited to pursue in “Full Cry”... as John Maginnes says, “the hardest game in the world!”

Salt & Pepper ChickenIngredients: Bone-in, skin-on chicken leg/thigh quarters Kosher salt Freshly ground pepper

Directions:Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Let chicken air dry, out of the package, for about a half an hour, pat the skin if needed with a piece of paper towel to get the skin really dry. Sprinkle skin side of the chicken pieces heavily with good kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet so that no chicken piece touches another piece - very important, the chicken cannot be touching! Bake on 425 degress for about 35 minutes on “convection” setting or 45 minutes on a “bake” set-ting. Don’t peek - keep the heat in! The skin will crisp up to golden brown with the proper amount of salt applied. Serve with the butternut squash risotto recipe below.

Butternut Squash RisottoIngredients: Butternut squash, cut in 1” chunks 4 tbsp butter 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, minced (more garlic is better) 1 box of good vegetable stock 1-1/2 cups textured arborio risotto rice 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated Salt/freshly ground pepper

Directions:Heat half the butter and half the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butternut squash and cook until very tender. Remove squash from pan, mash with a fork to break up the chunks and set side.

Bring the stock to a steady simmer in a saucepan over medium heat and set aside. Heat the remaining butter and olive oil in a dutch oven or heavy 4 qt casserole over medium-heat, add the onions and sauté until tender. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the garlic is fragrant and soft-ens, avoid browning the garlic.

Add the rice and allow to coat for 1 minute or so, begin to add the simmer-ing stock 1/2 a cup at a time, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Wait until each addition of stock is almost absorbed before adding the next 1/2 cup. Reserve some stock (1/4 cup) to add at the end of the desired cooking tenderness.

After approximately 30 minutes or when the rice is tender but not soft, add the reserved broth, sage, butternut squash and the parmesan cheese. Season with some great Maldon salt and freshly ground pepper and serve immedi-ately to a kitchen full of friends!

The Keswick Hunt Club welcomed all to the 12th Annual Keswick Puppy Show on Saturday, October 11th; it was a great success! The cute factor was in full force during the Junior Handler Class with a great group of both kids and hounds. While our Judges, Hugh Motley and Jake Carle, evaluated the puppies, the spectators were enjoying the Pimm’s Cup served by Rohn and Connie Laudenschlager and perusing the more than 70 Silent Auction items gathered and organized by Winkie Motley and Susan Rives. Many thanks to our members who donated all the wonderful auction items and even more thanks to everyone who so generously purchased them!

The hunt club was beautifully decorated and the younger set had fun activi-ties and goodie bags to enjoy, all due to the hard work of Whitney Gammell

(who was also the prime organizer for the entire event) and her team of vol-unteers. The evening was capped off by the Adopt-a-Puppy live auction. Clearly, the puppy show wouldn’t happen without our wonderful hounds, so we must thank Tony Gammell, Sommers Olinger and Mike Poindexter for all they do each and ev-ery day, plus all their hard work for this event to set up the hunt club, teach and assist our ju-nior handlers and have all the hounds ready to show.

Here is a preview to a wide-ranging program which includes top global fes-tival circuit titles Wild, Foxcatcher, The Imitation Game, and Mr. Turner – plus dynamic new dis-coveries, powerful documentaries and timeless classics, check www.virginiafilmfestival.org for complete listings:

Opening Night Film: Big Stone GapKick off on Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 p.m. with the World Premiere of Big Stone Gap, filmed on location in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, and based on the popular series of books by noted author and Big Stone Gap native Adriana Trigiani. The film stars Ashley Judd as the small town’s self-ap-pointed middle-age spinster who keeps countless secrets before discovering one of her own that will change her life forever. The Festival is excited to welcome Big Stone Gap screenwriter and director, bestselling author Adriana Trigiani, along with cast members Patrick Wilson, Jenna Elfman, and Jasmine Guy. “We are thrilled to be able to share this world premiere of a film that was made in Virginia,” Kielbasa said, “by Big Stone Gap native Adriana Trigiani, and a film that so wonderfully celebrates the Commonwealth’s unique spirit and natural beauty. It all combines to make this a per-fect choice for our opening night, and we are look-ing forward to a truly special evening.”

Centerpiece Film: 5 to 7The Festival’s primetime Saturday evening slot has long been home to exciting new films, and the tradition continues this year with 5 to 7, the tale of a “cinq-a-sept” romance, and love’s power to con-quer even the most insurmountable of obstacles. The film will be followed by a discussion with spe-cial guest Frank Langella, who will be joined by the film’s director Victor Levin along with U.Va. grad Julie Lynn and her Mockingbird Pictures partner Bonnie Curtis, producers of the film.

Closing Night Film: Dead Poets SocietyGet a behind-the-scenes look at an iconic film of the last quarter century as it celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Dead Poets Society. The screening will be followed by a discussion with its producer, U.Va. alum Paul Junger Witt, and its screenwrit-er Tom Schulman, who won an Academy Award for the film. The film has won over generations of fans since premiering in 1989, and has further increased in popularity recently due to the tragic loss of Robin Williams, (Academy Award nominee for his performance in the film).

Spotlight Screenings:Buzzard – Director Joel Potrykus will present his dark comedy about a horror metal slacker who flees a dead-end temp job to hide out in a friend’s basement, armed with a pile of pilfered bogus checks and a nasty temper.

Dumb and Dumber To – Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey are back…and dumber than ever…in this sequel that picks up twenty years from the time we first met their dimwitted duo, and the boys are on a quest to find their long lost children in hopes of finding a kidney.

Fishing Without Nets – This affecting film from director Cutter Hodierne won Best Director hon-ors at Sundance this year and tells the story of a young Somali pirate from the perspective of the pirates themselves.

Foxcatcher – This powerful psychological drama tells the true story of John duPont, chillingly played by Steve Carell, a deeply troubled man who lures Olympic hopeful wrestler Dave Schultz (Channing Tatum) to live and train with him. It was a move that would have tragic repercussions.

Hellion – Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul stars in this disturbing, powerful and authentic story about a fractured family’s response to a 13-year-old boy’s spiraling out of control. The film, directed by Kat Candler, was one of the most talked-about films at Sundance this year.

The Imitation Game – Benedict Cumberbatch is earning significant Oscar talk as mathematician Alan Turing whose status as a war hero, earned by leading a team that cracked the German Enigma Code and shortened World War II, is destroyed by revelations about his personal lifestyle and the un-enlightened reactions of his countrymen.

Low Down –Directed by Jeff Preiss, the film looks at the life of celebrated jazz pianist Joe Al-bany through the eyes of his young daughter Amy Jo Albany, who wrote the memoir recounting his battle with a drug addiction in the 1970’s and 80’s on which the film is based.

Mommy – Canadian director Xavier Dolan’s emotionally-charged story of a widowed single mom trying to manage her explosive 15-year-old ADHD son and a neighbor whose unexpected support adds an unexpected sense of stability, and ultimately, hope, to their lives. The film shared the 2014 Jury Prize at Cannes with Jean-Luc Godard’s Goodbye to Language.

Mr. Turner – Filmmaker Mike Leigh turns his un-blinking and improvisational focus to the last 25 years of eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner, whose complicated life and relationships make him at once loved and reviled by the art world, the public, and royalty.

Shaft – Part of a larger tribute to the famed pho-tographer and film director Gordon Parks, this special screening of the film that introduced true cool to the 70’s will be followed by a discussion with its star, Richard Roundtree.

Wild – Reese Witherspoon is earning significant Oscar buzz for her performance as author Cheryl Strayed, who sets out on a grueling thousand-plus-mile hike along the Pacific Trail in an attempt to heal herself from the loss of her mother, a divorce, and years of self-destructive behavior.

Special Guests:Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight!, the VFF welcomes one of America’s most treasured ac-tors, Hal Holbrook, who will give a live theatri-cal performance of his signature one-man-show Mark Twain Tonight! at The Paramount Theater on Friday evening. Then, on Saturday afternoon, the 89-year-old actor will join director Scott Teems to present the acclaimed documentary Holbrook/Twain: An American Odyssey. Holbrook first played Mark Twain as part of an honors project at Denison University after World War II. Today it is perhaps the longest-running show in theatre history. This year marks his 60th consecutive year performing Mark Twain Tonight!, for which he won a Tony Award. In 2014, Holbrook will give his 2,298th performance in the role, and continues to change the show, mining over 20 hours of mate-rial to fit the times.

Barry Levinson – The Natural and The Hum-bling Barry Levinson, one of the most popular directors of the modern movie era thanks to hit films including Diner, Rain Man, Bugsy, Good Morning Vietnam, and others, will come to the Festival for the first time to present a 25th Anni-versary screening of The Natural on Sunday at The Paramount Theater. In addition, Levinson will of-fer a sneak peek at his latest directorial effort, The Humbling, which stars Al Pacino.

Katie Couric – Fed Up, University of Virginia grad Katie Couric returns to her alma mater to present and discuss this powerful documentary on America’s runaway childhood obesity epidemic. Couric narrates the film, which she co-executive produced with Laurie David (An Inconvenient Truth). Fed Up features interviews with food and nutrition experts and heartbreaking first-person interviews with children on its way to taking on the powerful “Big Sugar” lobby and question-ing many of the basic “truths” we have been told about food and nutrition for the past 30 years.

HORSIN’ AROUNDKeswick Horses Winning Indoors and Outdoors

It was a night of ‘old tradition’ at the Pennsylvania Na-tional Horse Show as 19 Hunt Clubs, including hounds, huntsmen, and horses, took over the main arena at the Farm Show Complex for Hunt Night, sponsored by Kin-sley Construction (pictured above).

The competition was steep in the Field Hunters Compe-titions, in which each horse and rider competed over a course of eight natural-type obstacles. In the Field Hunt-er 35 & Under class, 34 competitors representing various hunt clubs took part, and it was two members from the Keswick Hunt that took the top placings. For the second consecutive year Jill Wilson and APPLE clinched first place and the Max C. Hempt Perpetual Trophy, while Jordan Sipes and EN VOGUE took second.

“It’s great. I’ve been coming up here for a few years and done well, but it’s fun every time,” said Wilson. “Keswick Hunt is fun, it’s good country and good hounds! Wilson and APPLE had a very successful night, and claimed vic-tory in the Ladies Hunter Under Saddle competition in a class of 36 riders, winning the Betty Baldwin Meister Memorial Perpetual Trophy. Wilson was also presented with the ‘Polly’ Gingrich Caswell Perpetual Trophy for winning the prestigious Leading Lady Rider Award, which she has now won six consecutive times. This is my sixth year being Leading Lady Rider, and second year on this horse. It feels awesome! Hopefully next year I’ll be in the professional division, so this may be retirement.” The exciting Hunt Team class is always a favorite for both the riders and spectators. Teams of three horses and riders jump around the course in single file at a ‘safe hunting distance’ until the last obstacle, which they jump over side by side. Some teams were better than others, but all received loud cheers and whistles from team members and fans in the stands. For the first time in 19 years, the Radnor Hunt took the title and the Potomac Hunt Chal-lenge Trophy, beating 18 other teams for the prominent award after a super round in unison.

The Hunt Night Championship closed the evening, with the Keswick Hunt claiming the bragging rights to the Ralph A. Alfano Memorial Perpetual Trophy, while Mr. Stewart’s Cheshire Foxhounds were runners-up.

Indoors, the horse shows finishing out the 2014 season saw Keswick horses champions (second photo). At the Capital Challenge Horse Show, the top six hunter riders in the country went head to head over three rounds, and

Kelley Farmer took the top spot. Farmer broke her col-larbone in a fall on August 3 and had surgery on August 11, and she came back to the show ring two weeks ago in Kentucky. She wanted to make sure she had a show in hand before coming to Capital Challenge. “I was a little bit ahead of schedule coming back to riding,” she admit-ted. “I was going a little stir crazy being on the ground. But I’m happy to be back.”

Kelley Farmer and Scripted took the Grand Hunter Championship title, while Hunt Tosh entered the win-ner’s circle with Douglas Wheeler’s Gotham in the $25,000 Future Hunter North American Championship. The High Performance Hunter championship went to

Queen Lattifa, owned by Douglas and Kenneth Wheeler and ridden by Hunt Tosh. Tosh and Queen Lattifa re-ceived two firsts and two thirds over fences and third under saddle. Since their championship at Capital Chal-lenge last year in the Second Year Green Hunters and a run of tricolors at indoors, Tosh said that Queen Lattifa has shown sparingly. She won the handy hunter class at the Devon Horse Show and competed a handful of times this summer, all in preparation for this year’s indoor circuit. Tosh gave credit to his owners, Douglas and Kenneth Wheeler Jr., for purchasing young horses and having the patience to let him bring them along to the top levels. “They enjoy having young ones and watching them come along,” he said. “The Wheeler family is awe-some to have young horses, support me, and believe in them, and wait for them to turn into superstars. It’s nice that they’re so patient to see them come along and what they’ll turn into.”

Janet Pendegrast finished third in the Virginia Field Hunter Championships in Middleburg, Virginia on Oc-tober 4, 2014. Pendegrast rode hard against fierce com-petition from Foxhunters all over the country. Janet is pictured below, photo by Liz Callar Photography.

Dick Francis’s Damage by Felix Francis

Felix Francis is back with another edge-of-your-seat thriller, in the classic Dick Francis tradition.

Undercover investigator Jeff Hinkley is assigned by the British Horseracing Authority to look into the activities of a suspicious racehorse trainer, but as he’s tailing his quarry through the Cheltenham Racing Festival, the last thing he expects to witness is a gruesome murder. Could it have something to do with the reason the trainer was banned in

the first place—the administration of illegal drugs to his horses? Then many more horses test posi-tive for prohibited stimulants, and someone starts making demands, threatening to completely de-stroy the integrity of the racing industry. In order to limit the damage to the sport, it’s critical that Jeff find the perpetrator . . . but he’ll soon learn he’s up against someone who will stop at nothing to prevail.

See You at Second Horses by Barclay Rives

Once again local author Barclay Rives brings us a book filled with historical perspective and per-sonal anecdotes. See You at Second Horses is an entrancing look at the glorious and elegant world of foxhunting.

In 1999 Barclay had a chance to tour England and Ireland, experiencing the best of foxhunting in those countries. Each day is a different venue and different horses provide interesting challenges for the rider. While I grew up on a horse farm , I was never the foxhunter in the family…I left that to my older sister. I was more of the stall mucker and tail braider, yet I love this book because, whether you have experienced a fox hunt or not you will find

yourself immersed in the sport.Of course it doesn’t hurt that I adore traveling to England and Ireland, but even if I had never been to these countries, Barclay’s vivid and rich descrip-tions would strike a chord with me.

Barclay goes to great lengths to explain the termi-nology in a very natural way. The title itself comes from the practice of having a change of horses after a few hours into the hunt. There is a pre-arranged location where everyone meets for this exchange and then the hunt continues. This is just one of the interesting tidbits offered up in this lovely book.

You will explore the countryside, feel the thrill of the chase and experience the history and splen-dor of a sport with such an illustrious past. Jump-ing fences sometimes twelve abreast, these riders face exhilarating obstacles as they join the Quorn, Cottesmore and Fernie Hunts, just to name a few. Sprinkled within all of Barclay’s hunting adven-tures are beautiful photos of the sport by Trevor Meeks and others. They will truly transport you and make you wish you had been along for the ride.

Is anyone up for a cup of whiskey, tea and soft boiled eggs after a long strenuous day of hunting? I’m in! It will make you want to join the hunt as well!

Responsibility, if we didn’t learn any-thing but this simple concept from the tragic deaths of Morgan Har-rington and Hannah Graham, those deaths wouldn’t quite be so in vain. We can’t turn back the hands of time, or do what could have been done, but we can move forward with a resolve to do better by our selves, our friends, our children, and our community.

Both girls were separated from their friends. How they were separated, in either case, is not so much the issue, as that they were separated. In na-ture, the predator’s next meal is, first, separated from the herd. Human predators are no different. When out partying, make it your responsibility to stay with a pack.

Relearn the responsibility of friend-ship. Somehow we have gotten away from the notion—not how we roll these days. Nobody wants to get up in other people’s business. If you alienate a friend because you cared enough to question their judgment, you have given yourself the opportu-nity to enhance a relationship in the future, furthermore, what you will gain in respect trumps any perceived loss.

As grim as it is, the facts are, you take your life in your hands when you in-sist on being a rugged individualist. Give your friends a break, when they suggest that maybe you shouldn’t have that next drink, hit, or whatever reality altering choice you are mak-ing, don’t fight back. What they are saying is, I care. I care enough about you to risk your censure and I care enough about myself not to let that

stop me from saying what needs to be said.

If you can’t be responsible or don’t choose to be, make sure somebody has agreed to be on your behalf. We don’t live in a vacuum. Yes, it’s your life, but what you do with it has an effect on other people. That should be patently obvious, just now, nonethe-less, it bears repeating.

Like the designated driver, appoint a designated minder. Have one person swear off getting wasted for a night, so that they can make sure that ev-eryone is present and accounted for. Yeah, I agree is sounds awful, who wants that job? As dull as it sounds, it is hands down better than wishing you had done something after some truly heinous event occurs. As much as we want to believe it can’t happen to me, we are fooling ourselves. It can and it has and will continue as long as that attitude prevails.

If you are out and see someone in trouble, reach out. You don’t have to make friends, become pen pals; you can simply ask if they need help? If the reply is “no,” but your gut tells you otherwise, call 911, let the author-ities deal with it. The police would much rather go out on a thousand calls of this nature than do what they have been doing recently. It is your responsibility as citizen not to shrug and walk off.

If each of us took a little more respon-sibility for what goes on in our world we might well turn it into a better one. What a wonderful legacy to give Morgan and Hannah!

An exhibit of plein air landscapes by Clive Pates and ceramics by Vir-ginia Rood Pates Clive’s paintings are a plein air record of the couple’s recent travels from Arizona to Vir-ginia, while Virginia’s ceramics are constructed of the materials that created these same landscapes.

Clive Pates describes himself as a gesturalist: representing his subject with brush and knife work, sculp-turally describing the space created between the artist, the landscape and the picture surface. Adamantly unsentimental about the subjects for his paintings, he prefers to be described as an “abstract painter with an ongoing fling for realism.” Virginia Pates digs, invents and uses an ever-changing palette of clays to create her loose, thin and

gesturally thrown forms, with an unusual range of glaze colors and surfaces.

Her ceramic work is based on the relationship between material and process. With a BFA from Missis-sippi State University and an MFA from the Centre for Ceramic Stud-ies at the University of Wales in Cardiff, UK, she has taught at the Queens Road School of Art in Bris-tol, England, at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (through Hurricane Katrina), at the Verde Valley Campus of Yavapai College in Arizona, and currently at the An-nandale Campus of Northern Vir-ginia Community College. Exhibit dates: October 2 – November 29, 2014

“Dressing Downton:Changing Fashion for Changing Times”

Featuring costumes and accessories from the hit PBS seriesat the Virginia Historical Society

The Virginia Historical Society is pleased to announce that Altria Group hasagreed to sponsor the VHS’s newest exhibit, “Dressing Downton: ChangingFashion for Changing Times.”

The nationally touring exhibit will run from October 2015 through January 2016 andwill be shown in the VHS’s newly created changing exhibition space, one of the projectgoals of its $38-million “Story of Virginia Campaign.”

The exhibition consists of 35 costumes and accessories from the popular PBSMASTERPIECE Classic program. Visitors will be able to explore the lives of Downton’saristocratic inhabitants and their servants during the World War I period.

“Altria has a long history of support for the arts,” said Jack Nelson, Executive VicePresident and Chief Technology Officer, Altria Group, and Board Vice Chairman,Virginia Historical Society. “And we are pleased to support the Virginia HistoricalSociety as it brings traveling exhibitions like ‘Dressing Downton’ to our hometown.This exhibition will be a great draw for residents and visitors alike.”

“We are excited to have Altria Group sponsor this nationally touring exhibition ofDownton Abbey costumes,” said Paul Levengood, President and CEO of the VirginiaHistorical Society. “There are many real-life American connections to Downton Abbey,and this exhibition complements the VHS mission to bring our history to life. Duringthe late 19th century, and right up to the outbreak of World War I, hundreds of Americanwomen visited England and Europe hoping to marry aristocrats. The series character,Lady Cora, the Countess of Grantham is one such American woman.”

The exhibition and the two major exhibitions that follow it are part of the $38-million“Story of Virginia Campaign,” of which more than $31 million has been raised.

“The Story of Virginia Campaign” is designed to help the VHS better utilize portionsof its existing facility. This will allow for the display of even more of the Society’scollections as well as hosting more and larger events and exhibitions.

Future changing exhibitions will include “The Art of Seating: 200 years of AmericanDesign,” which will feature works by John Henry Belter, George Hunzinger, HerterBrothers, Stickley Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles & Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi,and Frank Gehry and many more.

“Pro Football Hall of Fame: Gridiron Glory,” another upcoming VHS changingexhibition, will highlight such storied objects as the Super Bowl trophy, a 1917 gameball used by Jim Thorpe and the Canton Bulldogs, Tom Dempsey’s famous kickingshoe created for his half foot, Mean Joe Greene’s jersey, and more than 200 other itemsfrom the sport’s rich history, normally housed at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Admission to each of these special exhibitions is free for Virginia Historical Societymembers.

The Altria Group sponsorship of “Dressing Downton: Changing Fashion for Changing Times”is part of a $250,000 total commitment that also includes support for the installation of a new“Story of Virginia” exhibition, which is slated to open in late summer 2015. Altria Group hasbeen a major supporter of the VHS and the “Story of Virginia” exhibition since its first iterationin 1992, as well as leading the charge for its transformation to an online exhibition in the early2000s. Altria Group’s most recent commitment will help the Virginia Historical Society makeVirginia’s history relevant, exciting, and accessible to present and future generations.

Colonial Downs owner Jeff Jacobs tearfully announced to the Virginia Racing Commission on Wednesday morning that he will surrender the track’s unlimited pari-mutual own-ers and operators licenses Nov. 1, meaning that the track and its Off-Track Betting (OTB) facilities will close for good next month. Harness racing season concludes at the track Oct. 26.

“I would like to see quality thor-oughbred racing thrive and Colonial Downs move towards its full poten-tial, [but] after 17 years, we cannot continue on any other basis. Virgin-ians deserve nothing less,” Jacobs said in a statement of the track’s tu-multuous relationship with the Vir-ginia Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (VHBPA).Wednesday’s VRC meeting had been scheduled to discuss the racetrack’s 10-year signed contract with the Old Dominion Thoroughbred Horse-men’s Association, which formed last month. The contract called for an eight-week thoroughbred season next year. In order to host thorough-bred racing, Colonial Downs must have a signed contract with a horse-men’s association that is approved by the VRC.

Jacobs’ announcement stunned New Kent County officials, race fans and track employees. “I don’t even know what to say,” said County Adminis-trator Rodney Hathaway. “I’m still in shock but for right now, all I can say is that we have just started working on next fiscal year’s budget and we will have to factor this in.” The track has tried for months to negotiate a contract with the VHBPA, the group that represents the horses raced at the track. As a result of the failed ne-gotiations, their contract expired in January. Four of eight OTB facilities closed, and those that remained open were prohibited from taking bets on

Virginia thoroughbred racing. Now that the track is closing, all eight OTB facilities will be permanently shut down.

When it hosted thoroughbred racing, the track had more than 280 full-time employees and hosted nearly 2,000 guests a day. New Kent County, where Colonial Downs is located, estimates the season’s cancellation meant a loss of more than $400,000 in revenue. The track opened in 1997. According to Larry Clark, New Kent’s assistant director for finance, the track brought in $188,000 less than projected because the debate halted thoroughbred betting off-site. As a whole, Clark added, the track’s rev-enue to the county has been steadily declining since 2007. Clark said Co-lonial Downs brought in $793,000 in 2007, and nearly half that in 2013.

Colonial Downs spokesman Jay Poole said the track actually had a surge in visitors in 2013 because of the shorter thoroughbred season and higher purses. The purse for the Vir-ginia Derby, the track’s annual sig-nature event, was $500,000 in 2013. It had gradually declined from its peak of $1 million in 2006 and 2007. “We brought in higher quality horses and it’s because of the schedule and the fact that Colonial Downs has one of the best turf tracks in the country and draws in high-end horsemen,” Poole said.

Jacobs admitted that some employ-ees were surprised by the decision, even though they have been told sev-eral weeks ago this was a possibility.He said he will pay their salaries un-til the end of the year. Jacobs said he is looking into “rebooting” the racing industry, but that it “would require support from state government” and public-private partnerships.

According to Jacobs, Virginia state officials could start improving thor-oughbred racing by increasing the purse, or prize money, from $6 mil-lion a year to $15-20 million. “Virgin-ia thoroughbred racing would then reach its potential of serving as an important agribusiness outlet while driving hundreds of millions of dol-lars of growth into Virginia’s agri-business economy,” he said.

TRAVEL JOURNAL

As a child I was filled with magi-cal stories of Africa, from my lovely godmother, who was raised in the highlands of Kenya, to my Aunt and Uncle who lived in Burundi, and countless other figures filled my mind with enchanting images of a strange land filled with exotic game and historic tribes. So when my buddy Lee Baskerville mentioned that he was trying to get together a group to go to South Africa and hunt and ride in a horse race, my interest was piqued.

In addition to being a highly regard-ed portrait artist, Lee spent a great deal of time in Africa as a child, be-ing the son of Henry Baskerville, proprietor of Safaris Unlimited. In his youth he had befriended Theo Erasmus, now co-owner of Sandymount Park. The 64,000 acre Sandymount, in addition to offering incomparable hunting to sportsmen (and women) from around the world, plays host to the Fauresmith 200. The Fauresmith 200 is the premiere Endurance Horse Race in Southern Africa. Nearly 500 of the most competitive endurance riders from South Africa, Namibia, Zimba-bwe, and Botswana race over 200 kilometers of rugged countryside in 3 days.

Soon Lee had a group of seven foxhunters, along with two spouses commit-ted to making the 8,500 mile trip for the race. Who were these brave and/or crazy souls? Mary Millhiser, Pam Ault, Cheryl Lang, Elaine Honeycutt, Lee Baskerville, Katie Zacherle, and myself.

We all arrived at Sandymount in late June. Our accommodations in the main lodge were luxurious and most comfortable. After cocktails by the pool, ab-sorbing the vastness of the landscape, we set out on a game drive. It is hard to accurately convey the variety and number of animals we saw, Lechwe, Waterbok, Cape Buffalo, Zebra, Blesbok, Kudu and Impala just on that initial game drive of perhaps an hour!

Our next 5 days were filled with adventures. Matt Zacherle, Brooks Honeycutt and myself took avail of the tremendous hunting offered at Sandymount. Leon Fourie and Theo Erasmus, the co-owners of Sandymount, embody the ethos that properly managed hunting has a positive impact on the environment. The more than 37,000 acres at Sandy-mount, were until the team acquired them, actively ranched and home to few game animals. But now, as a hunting preserve, and thanks to Sandymount’s disciplined conserva-tion and breeding program, they are home to thousands of game animals as well as non-game species such as Giraffe, Weaver Birds, and African Porcupine. The Sandymount model demonstrates that hunting has the

potential to restore hundreds of thousand of acres of natural habitat.

Hunting is carefully managed at Sandymount. Each of us had to demon-strate our marksmanship at the range before being allowed to hunt. And we were all fortunate enough to enjoy success, hunting under the guidance of Professional Hunter Vella Van Niekerk Brink. In addition to being great com-pany, Vella put me within 300 yards of a very nice Blesbok. While I thought about how far that seemed, Vella reminded me that the day before I’d hit a 3” spinner target from 330 yards at the range. His reassurance was just what I needed and within minutes I was posing for pictures with my first African trophy, living out an adventure I’d dreamed about for more than 25 years.

A few days later the Sandymount team took us out on an extended ride on the horses. The ride terminated at an old Boer homesite from the 19th Cen-tury. It was a lovely spot with huge old trees overlooking a vast lush valley. They’d created a lavish campsite for us complete with a working bathroom and tents with cots. The highlight was the fully set formal dining table under the tree,... continued on the next page >>

and upon this table was set a fabulous meal pre-pared by our talented chef, Anneke Louw. It is moments such as these that one fully understands the timeless draw of Africa. The next morning after a great hunt for Springbok guided by the talented Josephus Fourie, we set off on horseback headed for the lodge. As we came to the top of one of the “koppies” or hills, our guide pointed to our right and there were three Giraffes. They were magnificent and not at all scared by us. Our guide explained it was a bull and his two fe-males. After several minutes they grew bored and ambled off leaving the four speechless Americans standing there.

As race day approached the increased activity in the small town of Fauresmith was palpable. Along with the 500 or so riders came a small army of sup-port crew. Guiding and leading us in our efforts was Rykie Fourie, herself a greatly accomplished endurance rider. She ensured that we drove the course in advance of the race and familiarized us with the etiquette, rules, and strategies of endur-ance racing. She had secured horses for each of us to ride in the race, and along with her fellow en-durance rider Diana Hoffman, took point on orga-nizing the ‘Team USA’ team, getting us registered, ensuring that we’d have grooms and other waiting for us at every vet check along the way, and gen-erally trying to ensure that we’d be equipped to succeed.

Riders had come in for the race from Namibia, Czechoslovakia, Lesotho, the U.K. and of course the U.S.A. Riders who had ridden the race in years past informed us that to finish is an honor as few-er than half of riders finish the race. Most riders are pulled when their horses fail the rigorous vet checks that take place every 25 km which ensure that horses are not injured during the race.

Team USA fared slightly less well. However two of our seven riders, finished the race. A real honor for Pam Ault and Katie Zacherle! The other riders were pulled when their horses failed to pass the vigorous mid-race vet checks. Alas, my journey ended when I was thrown from my mounts on day one and suffered a concussion. I was fortunate that South Africa is blessed with excellent medical facilities which nursed me back to health.

Our little tribe had gone to Africa seeking adven-ture and we were not disappointed. Great food, great new friends, luxurious accommodations, tre-mendous scenery and adventure…Africa!
