Interim Editor: Randy Miller Publisher: Wendy McFadden News: Cheryl Brumbaugh-Cayford Subscriptions: Diane Stroyeck Design: The Concept Mill 8 Shalom: the biblical vision of ecojustice Noted theologian and author Rosemary Radford Ruether encourages us to take another look at biblical stewardship as it has been filtered through conventional Western understanding. Perhaps we have misread Genesis 1 :28, which instructs humanity to" .. fill the earth and subdue it ..." Has our understanding of this instruc­ tion in Genesis led to an imbalance in which we see ourselves as autonomous own­ ers, rather than caretakers of the earth under God?

"In a world gone awry," he says, "the sage advice is to enjoy the simple gift of a mealtime with friends. In the scene of Mother and Child, the grace of God is revealed to strangers and wise men. The Incarnation is the high­ est form of wisdom. God's way is an invitation to enjoy our humanity and relation­ ships, because God's love dwells among us in this one named Immanuel."

  • Regulation of Bute and Lasix in New York State by Bennett Liebman
    Regulation of Bute and Lasix in New York State By Bennett Liebman Government Attorney in Residence Albany Law School The horse racing community in the United States has been fighting over issues relating to phenylbutazone or butazolidin [hereinafter referred to as Bute] for more than 55 years and furosemide/salix [hereinafter referred to as Lasix] for more than 40 years. Over this period of time, the same questions have been asked by both supporters and opponents of administration of these drugs. The questions have been asked, but the questions have remained largely unanswered. After decades, the United States racing industry has been unable to come up with a clear consistent position on the proper utilization of these drugs. The purpose of this memorandum is to supply an overview for the members of the Gaming Commission of New York State’s involvement with drug testing issues and more specifically with the history of New York’s regulation of the two drugs most often associated with permissive medication: Bute and Lasix. Much of the focus of this memorandum is on thoroughbred racing, but it is important to understand that the analysis and the issues (and therefore the focus of the Commission) also must be applied to harness racing, which constitutes the vast majority of the pari-mutuel racing conducted in New York State. While some of the statements in this memorandum may be controversial, this memorandum is intended to be historical and not an advocacy piece. Historical New York Drug Testing Questions and Issues New York State, like most North American racing jurisdictions, uses the trainer responsibility rule.1 Under the New York version of this rule, a trainer is responsible for a drug positive unless the trainer is able to demonstrate by substantial evidence that he or she was not responsible for the administration of the drug.2 While New York State allows trainers to assert non- responsibility as an affirmative defense, other states have an even tougher version of the trainer responsibility rule.

  • Discussion Guide
    A BUG’SSecretariat LIFE Synopsis With the death of her mother, housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery — with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin — manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in twenty-five years. Discussion Questions • When Penny’s mother died she stayed at her family’s Virginia home to look after the family business despite having no formal background in horseracing. How do you think she became so successful so quickly? • Penny hoped that Lucien Laurin would come out of retirement to help her train her horse. At first he resisted. Why did he change his mind? • As the horse was growing up, they called him Big Red. When they began to race him in respectable races he was forced to have a more respectable name. What does the name Secretariat mean? Why do you think they chose this name? Do you think the name Secretariat fits the horse? Why? • While there was stress on Penny’s family relationships because she was back and forth between her homes in Colorado and Virginia, her family remained intact. What are some of the reasons you attribute to the fact that the bonds between her and her children, and her and her husband were still strong at the end of the film? • What do you believe was behind Penny’s desire to succeed? At one point in the film Penny realized that they could sell everything from her parent’s estate and pay off what they owed on the farm, but she was not willing.

  • Established Sires
    THURSDAY, 8 FEBRUARY, 2018 DARK ANGEL SON LEADS THE WAY AT GOFFS ESTABLISHED SIRES: By Daithi Harvey WHERE=S THE VALUE? The second session of the Goffs February Sale was devoted to short yearlings and the current polarised nature of the European bloodstock market was evident at times during the day when trade was quite tough for many lots that were not deemed to possess obvious commercial appeal. Despite these challenging facets of the market, the right types were still changing hands for good money and it was a son of Dark Angel (Ire) who topped proceedings when selling to Daniel Creighton for i140,000. This top price, which smashed last year's equivalent of i86,000, helped push the majority of the KPI's in the right direction. A total of 110 of the 182 offered yearlings found new homes for a slightly reduced clearance rate of 60%, which highlights the selective nature of the market. However, the strength at the top end resulted in a 15% increase in the aggregate to i1,624,600, which in turn led to a 23% rise in average to i14,769 and a 45% Chris McGrath states the case for Raven=s Pass | Darley increase in the median to i8,000.
