Rappahannock News, March 2, 1972

A cool Trooper Buntin overcomes armed youth Trooper W.A. Bun tin, with Sheriff John Walker Jenkins and Deputy Everett Estes, examine a cache of weapons and ammunition confiscated Monday night. Peter Marx, who lives near Washington, is being held on a number of charges which climaxed a day of various disorders. Rappahannock races Saturday RANDY ROUSE IS BRINGING his top horses to the Rappahannock Hunt’s Thornton Hill Course Saturday, March 4, for the twenty-third running of the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races. Rouse, who was victorious in the Casanova Cup Race, intends to add further points toward winning the Seven Corner’s Trophy by riding his Free Movement over timber in the Ben Venue race for gentlemen riders. He will get strong opposition in his bid from Maryland’s David Semmes on Half Smoke, who slipped and fell early in the race last Saturday. Other outstanding horses and riders are also pouring into Rappahannock for this event which is held at James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm, located a mile and a half south of Sperryville on Route 522. The all-new Rappahannock Hurdle Race has received the seal of approval from top owners and trainers as a dozen hurdlers from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania have entered and more are expected. Seven horse races will be crowned as usual and the day will be climaxed with the unique and exciting hound race. W.H. Lyne, in charge of the event, says: “We have 18 different breeders this year entering a record breaking pack of 54 hounds!” The Fox Hunt Bowl will be hotly contested by J. M. Gibbs of Pratts, Madison County, with Speckles and Lady Bird and Jack W. Bruce of Sperryville, Rappahannock, with Badness. They will have a tough time beating Music owned by Kelly Corbin of Culpeper and by Cyclone owned by Tommy Olinger of Remington. Bruce and Gibb already have two legs each on this trophy so it promises to be a tight race. GENERAL ADMISSION is $2 foratlults and $1 for children under 18. Parking is free and starting time is noon. Bring the family and have a picnic, say the organizers of the Rappahannock Hunt’s Pointto-Point Race. Other listings on the race card include the Pair Race which opens the .(See page 10) THE CALM actions and cool self control displayed by Trooper W.A. Buntin in a critical situation Monday night probably saved his life and spared the lives of several others. Faced by a berserk young man armed with a fully loaded .44 caliber German Hurder, Buntin assuaged the man until his attention could be diverted and he could be overcome. At the request of the Sheriff’s , Department, Troopers Buntin and R.A. Baines joined Sheriff John Walker Jenkins and his deputy Everett Estes to serve a warrant on Peter Marx who lived on the old Updike property east of Washington on Route 633. . ... The warrant was the result of a confrontation ear-; lier in the day which involved Marx, John Lyle, James Hourahan and subsequently, Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis Jr. Marx, who shared his home with two other males and a young girl, had a disagreement with Lyle and Hourahan on the state road near their property, and at that time had brandished a gun and shot on the road. WHEN THE officers arrived to serve the warrant, one of the men living at the Marx property assured them that all was calm and there would be no trouble. However, Marx stepped around the corner of the house armed with the German gun and in addition had a British 303 Army rifle over his shoulder, a British Bulldog .32 revolver and a Daisey C-2-200 BB gun, and a German sheriff’s knife in his belt. Marx advanced with the Hurder leveled at Buntin, who spoke to him calmly and assured him that they wanted no trouble. The attention of Marx was momentarily diverted by Deputy Estes and in an instant Buntin dropped Marx with a solid blow in the neck and shoulder area with his riot gun. Marx is being held on 16 counts, several charges each, of assault and battery, simple assault, brandishing firearms, destroying property and firing on the highway. □ Hearing set A preliminary .hearing for- Charles Campbell and Ernest Smith, who are charged with murder in Rappahannock County, has been re-scheduled for Thursday, March 9.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 The Remount’ One of the most interesting suggestions we have heard recently for development of a new park area — a “tourist attraction,” if you will — concerns what local old timers (and some not-soold-timers) refer to as “The Remount.” The U.S. Cavalry Remount Station at Front Royal was one of the last bastions of the horse soldier in the United States, and up until the years immediately following World War II played an important part in the life of the Piedmont. Indeed, there are horsemen who maintain that access to find breeding stock at The Remount greatly improved the quality of local horses in general and hunters in particular, making it possible for this sport to grow and prosper. And many a horse lover will still speak with wonder of visiting Front Royal to see the “liberated” Lipizzaners in the waning days of the war. Presently, the old Remount Station is used by the Department of Agriculture for experimental breeding of cattle. When and if the Department decides to phase out this operation, the property will go to the Department of the Interior. This Department, according to the information we have heard, is interested in the possibilities of developing a sort of living museum of horse soldiery. One of the biggest hitches that has developed thus far are proposals of the Potomac Edison Company of Virginia to run massive power lin^s smack through the property.. It would surely be a shame to mar in this manner a site with such interesting possibilities. □ Another rincident’ version given Editor: " ■ 1 am submitting this letter for publication in my capacity as secretary of the Rappahannock Jaycee Chapter and with the full consent of the members. Having read the letter relating to the event which occurred at the February 12 Valentine Dance, 1 find myself with still another version to add to the many * wide and varied accounts which have been circulated throughout the county. I believe that the feelings of all people, regardless of their position or status in life, should merit respect, most especially when those feelings are founded on basic truths and facts. However, the account which the letter-writer rendered consists of only partial facts and half truths, and would lead one to believe that the young serviceman’s behavior was above reproach. As a member of the Jaycees and serving on the Dance Committee, it was my responsibility to attend the door. The young man entered the door accompanied by the letter-writer’s two sons and their wives, at which time it was stated and confirmed that he had a date and that she would be along later. Having known the sons for several years 1 had no reason to question the validity of their statement. 1 did not notice at that time that he was not properly dressed as his jacket(military) was fastened; due to the inclement weather this did not seem out of order. After removing his jacket it was brought to my attention that his shirt was loosely hanging from the waist. At this time, he was asked to tuck his shirt and after borrowing a belt this was done. The fact that the young lady appeared and the date did not materialize was no cause for alarm as everyone attending was enjoying the evening. It was never our desire to eject the young Marine from the dance, and therefore we did not ask Trooper Barns A large number of subscribers identified last week’s barn as the one on Meadow Grove, the farm of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Massie near Amissville. The winning name drawn from the entries was that of John M. Compton of Castleton. Others who participated were Mrs. James L. Atkins, Nelson Nethers, Mrs. Frances Fincham, Mrs. Pauline Aylor, Mrs. James R. Dodson, Mrs. Nancy McNear, Ted Settfe, Ray T. Cannon, Mrs. Carol Miller, Thomas B. Massie, Mrs. Jimmie Hitt, Mrs. James H. Settle, Mrs. Ruth Eastham, Moffett Pullen, Harry Russell Smoot, W.H. Lyne, Clifton Clark, Edward M. Clark, Mary Magee, MacArthur Pullen, Mrs. Janie Pullen, Robert L. Frazier, Mrs. Richard Wharton, Johnnv Ray Pullen, Liz Eastham and Rosalie S. Alther. Now, here we go again; name the one pictured here. Letters to the editor Jaycees reply... Official says letter misleading Editor: As State Vice President, Region V, Virginia Jaycees 1 feel obligated to reply to Mrs. Tichenell’s letter concerning the Valentine Buntin , who was present for approximately one-half hour, nor Trooper Willis, who was present for the entire evening (not off and on as was stated), to perform his duty. At approximately 12:30 p.m. the young Marine was called into the kitchen and informed that should he desire to attend a future Jaycee-sponsored dance he would wear a coat and tie or a proper substitute or he would not be admitted. A IIIO O CCl 1 V5UI VI less of how it was issued (tactfully or untactfully) would not be cause to justify the brutal assault of another human being. It seems only natural then, and quite easy to understand, that TWO friends would seek to retaliate in this unfortunate incident. At this point SIX persons came to the aid of the young Marine, and readily restored order. As the letter-writer thanks God for men capable of defending self and country, she just (Turn to page 3) Dance ! sponsored by the Rappahannock Jaycees. To satisfy the State Jaycee organization as well as myself, 1 have investigated this incident. Because this case has not been heard in Court, it would be unfair to all parties concerned for me to reveal the results at this time. However, some of Mrs. Tichenell’s statements are unwarranted and without justification. Why was this young man admitted without a tie? He was admitted without being properly dressed, as a mature well-disciplined Marine would be, and only through the hospitality of the Jaycees was he permitted to stay at the dance. ine iigni resulted Decause the young man in question was not able to accept a request by the persons in charge of the dance. As far as the Marine giving a better account of himself, it is my opinion that again his immaturity and lack of self- * discipline is shown as it takes a better man not td create a fight than to start one. in summary, 1 think that it is embarassing for former members of the Marine Corps to see one of their members present himself in such a distasteful manner and had he been able to uphold the tradition of the Marines, this incident would not have occurred. The leaders of the Rappahannock Jaycees are mature, level-headed young men, who in many cases, have also served their country in the armed forces, and they spend much of their free time and money trying to improve the community in which they live, and their community spirit is shown by their efforts in hosting the Valentine Dance. The Jaycee Chapter is well-respected by the State organization. It has been my pleasure to work with them, and 1 am convinced that this one unfortunate incident will not deter their future efforts in community activities. John T. Fray Vice President Region V Madison PTA conference Rappahannock County High School will hold a Parent-Teacher Conference on Monday evening, March 13 from 7 to 9 p.m. The public is invited. Refreshments will be served in the library.

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Exact amount of state tax increases uncertain By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE HOUSE Appropriations Committee has made its report on the budget bill. Of the 5.2 billion dollars recommended by the Governor for appropriations in the next two years, the Appropriations Committee recommended reductions of approximately 133 million dollars. This still amounts to an overall percentage increase of around 30 per cent. The increases recommended by the Governor were reduced for many agencies and activities, including welfare, medicaid, public education (increase of 24 percent, the Governor recommended 27 per cent), higher education (increase of 40 percent, the Governor recommended 47 percent). The appropriations for community colleges and mental health activities were increased. 1 am glad Another version (From page 2) might see fit to be thankful for these men also. As everyone is aware, warrants are a matter of public record and should anyone have taken the time to obtain this information, he or she would have had personal knowledge, but obviously this was accepted on hearsay, also. Our local sheriff saw fit to swear out the warrant based on information obtained from the assaulted party. Incidents, such as this, make their mark on society and generate much discussion regarding the reputation of persons involved, and in this case the Jaycee organization. 1 believe that theletter-writer, as a concerned citizen of Rappahannock County, should have taken the time and effort to approach the Jaycee Chapter in order that she could have heard both sides before publicly expressing her feelings. Had she done this, since she was not present at the dance, I’m sure she would have had an entirely dif SHOOTING MATCH 12-16-20 Gauges Flint Hill Carnival Grounds Saturday Afternoons February 19 until further notice 2:00 p.m. till dark Benefit: Flint Hill Volunteer FireCo. Not Responsible for Accidents ferent picture. 1 think it commendable that this serviceman is a decorated Vietnam veteran, but 1 respectfully submit that this accomplishment should not in any way be used as a means to degrade a very worthwhile organization. The Jaycees have done much for Rappahannock County in the past, and I’m sure will do even more in the future. The member s of this Jaycee organization are united in the belief that service to humanity is the best work of life — that being the betterment of the community and world in which we live. 1 trust the information given in this letter will be reason enough for everyone to reevaluate their feelings toward all persons concerned. I’m sure they feel as 1 do that rumors and idle talk have no place in our society, and that the people of Rappahannock County deserve to know the truth. Julian S. Brown Secretary Rappahannock Jaycees, Inc to report that this is the case. In a number of instances 1 supported greater reductions than the Committee favored, and in some other instances 1 would have made lesser reductions or none at all, but every budget bill is a' compromise among the views of all of the members of the General Assembly and the Governor as to what are the most pressing needs. IT APPEARS that the General Assembly will pass the gas tax bill and the increase in corporate income tax from five percent to six percent. There may be some increase in individual income taxes, but the increase will be substantially less than proposed by the Governor,and at this time it is difficult to say what form this in VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill NOTE NEW TIMES Tues.'-Wed.-Fri.-Sat. 11 til 6 crease might take.

IT WILL probably be the next few days of the session before we know exactly what changes will be made as to budget and taxes, and it may be that a compromise will have to be made by the House and Senate versions on both of these points. As for other legislation, it appears that no restrictive gun legislation will pass, that the Governor’s proposal for five top level executive secretaries will pass, and that there will be V moritorium on annexation by cities, but not > towns, for at least two years.

This law states that open air fires are unlawful within 300 feet of the woods, or inflammable material leading to woodland, except between the hours of 4 p.m. in the afternoon and Midnight. This law is considered a good forest fire prevention measure because it prohibits burning during the time of day when a fire burns most rapidly because of higher temperatures, lower humidity, and increasing winds. Since the spring months are generally hazardous, the law is seasonal, applying only during inose moruns in wmcn uie forest fire danger is most critical. Forestry personnel asked the co-operation of the public when burning anything outside the home. By burning during the legal hours, the danger of a fire escaping is not as great as earlier in the day. Even when burning after 4 o’clock the fire should be attended and completely extinguished before leaving. “If you must burn, do it on an evening when the wind is calm and the air is moist. This reduces the chance of blowing embers starting a fire in nearby grass or woodland,” said a spokesman for the Virginia Division of Forestry. me law win ue eiuui tcu through the aid of forest fire lookout towers, airplane patrol, personnel of the Virginia Division of Forestry, and interested citizens. □ FIRE, RESCUE SQUAD * Flint Hill Rescue Squad responded to two calls this week.
