Sheriff Buntin Files Suit In Federa Sheriff W. A. Buntin is seeking damages totalling $250,000 plus attorney’s fees in a suit filed in federal district court on June 30 against the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System’s Board of Trustees. In the complaint, Buntin alleges that the trustees discriminated against him on the basis of age by refusing to allow his participation in the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System which they administer. In addition, he is seeking reinstatement of his retirement benefits from the State Police Officers’ Retirement System, also administered by the same trustees. During his 29 years as a state trooper, Buntin made regular, compulsory contributions to the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System. He retired from the state police in 1975 and immediately began drawing benefits of $541.37 per month, the suit notes. The benefits were terminated after seven months on January 1, 1976, when he assumed duties as Sheriff of Rappahannock following his election to that post the previous November. According to the complaint filed in federal court, the benefits were terminated under state law which provides that should “a beneficiary of a service Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

In terminating Buntin’s benefits, the trustees held that Sheriff of Rappahannock was a position covered for retirement purposes. When Buntin initially resumed his duties as sheriff, according to the suit, he was advised by the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System that he would be eligible to participate in the system. For two years, he made compulsory contributions until advised in 1978 that he wasn’t eligible because of provisions which provide that membership is compulsory with the exception of “any such employee who has Housing In County Remains Steady I he total number of housing units approved in the second quarter of 1981 in Rappahannock County has held steady compared to the same period in 1980.

V___ z County To Be Surveyed For F allout Shelters A team of engineers trained in analyzing buildings and other structures for protection against various wartime hazards will be working in Rappahannock County in early August for approximately three weeks. This local project is part of a continuing effort of the and federal emergency ■'•management agencies to" survey structures in communities near high-risk areas to determine which structures have facilities for falloutradiation protection in the event people have to be relocated during an emergency, according to a press release from the Office of Emergency and Energy Services. At the same time, the team will be collecting data to indicate the extent to which the county is able to feed and house people under emergency conditions. Particular attention will be given hotels, motels, dormitories, barracks, hospitals, colleges, schools, churches, synagogues, offices, factories, "warehouses, storage facilities and commercial stores with special emphasis on food stores. The group coming to Rappahannock will be under the general supervision of Joe Tonkin of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region III facility located in Olney, Md. Currently, the team is Rappahannock Ranks Low In School, High In Gov’t Costs By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahann<M*k N«*w* Staff Writer Rappahannock has the most expensive local government and the cheapest schools of the five jurisdictions in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, according to the report of the Auditor of Public Accounts on Comparative Cost of County Government for the year ended June 30, 1980. Rappahannock citizens paid $94.92 per capita in 1979-80 fiscal year for operation and maintenance of a general government which serves a population of 6,093 over an area of 267 square miles. By comparison, Madison ranked at the bottom of the list with a per capita cost of $84.93 for local government (population 10,232; 327 square miles) working in Culpeper and Orange counties after finishing Fredericksburg, according to James Surratt from the state emergency services office. Also on the immediate agenda is Warren but Surratt, said the group didn’t anticipate finishing that county before the end of the summer 'be&tmse of the multiplicity of structures there. “The problem’s not acute in Rappahannock. There doesn’t seem to be that much in the way of facilities to survey,” Surratt said. Following computerization of the engineers’ work sheets, a report on emergency shelter facilities will be released (Continued on Page 2) 1 Court attained age sixty (60) at date of employment...” The suit maintains that Buntin has been denied (Continued on Page 2) statistics from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. In 1981, Rappahannock zoning administrator's office authorized two housing units in April, nine in May and four in June for a total of IS. Exactly the same number of units was approved in the same three months of 1980. Overall in the planning district, 208 housing units were authorized in five counties during the second quarter of 1981, 46 fewer than the 254 units okayed during the first three months of 1980. The decrease represents a 35 percent drop from the same period in 1979 when 321 units were approved. The greatest reduction in the district was reported by Culpeper County where activity for the second quarter was down 68 percent. Culpeper's decline was largely the result of an inflated figure in 1980, however, when a large town house complex was authorized. Fauquier County declined by three percent during the same period while Madison and Orange County experienced an increase in housing activity of 70 percent and 12.5 percent respectively. Meeting Change The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors will meet on the second Monday in August. The change from the first Monday is for this month only. followed by Orange with $22.63 (population 17,827; 355 square miles), Fauquier with $89.10 (population 35,889; 660 square miles) and Culpeper with $93.82 (population 22,620; 389 square miles). Included in county government costs are general administration, tax assessment, tax disbursement and collection, recording of documents, administration of justice, crime prevention and detection, fire prevention and extinction, public welfare, public health, public works, agriculture and home economics, protection of livestock and fowls, elections, maintenance of buildings and grounds, and miscellaneous operating functions. Rappahannock spent less in every category compared to the other four counties in the planning district with two exceptions: Madison spent less on tax assessment and public works.

Fauquier's $441, Culpeper's $394 and Madison's $138. Rappahannock's total assessed value for that year amounted to $2,581 per capita, less than a tenth of assessed value per capita throughout the rest of the planning district. Fauquier's was highest for 1979-80 with $29,281. followed by Orange with $25,834. Culpeper with $22,150 and Madison with $18,331. However, the (Continued on Page 3)

In addition, the complaint notes that Buntin repeatedly has requested reconsideration of the action to bar his participation and has asked for a hearing, denied by letter dated July, 1980. The suit contends that Buntin has been discriminated against on the basis of age through the trustees' actions described as "arbitrary and capricious and without any rational basis or legitimate purpose on behalf of the state.” In addition, it alleges that the sheriff has been deprived of his rights to due process under law by the discontinuance of his vested property right in the retirement system without a hearing. f Free Standing Solarium ^^and Lean-To Models Greenhouses Numerous brand names, styles, materials and prices to select from.

Survey results will be reflected also in a crisis relocation plan, according to Surratt. The plan will benefit potential relocatees from high risk areas and local residents, he said. The survey will set Rappahannock’s “congregate care facility capability.” If it shows that the county has a surplus of fallout shelters above that needed to protect county "residents, that surplus will “determine the number of relocatees who could be assigned” here. Surrett said. The mission and presence of team members have been coordinated and approved by the State Civil Defense Office. The specialists who will work in Rappahannock are members of the federal Emergency Management Agency’s staff. While in the county, they will be provided office space in the basement of the clerk’s office. Each member of the survey team has been supplied with a letter of identification which will be shown to building owners.

Elephants Grow In Barbara Wood’s Garden ByTHERESA REYNOLDS Rippakannoek Nfiw Staff Writer At ToU Gate Farm in Flint Hill, Barbara Wood is growing, along with all the traditional vegetables, an unusual kind of garlic called elephant garlic. This white, sweet garlic is named for its size, which can be two to three times that of a standard garlic bulb. It is much in demand by restaurants because of its size and its mild taste. It’s easiff to peel and chop and doesn’t overpower the taste of other food as much as its smaller cousin. Barbara first became interested in growing garlic when she was searching for a crop that would be a specialty and take up only half of her year. She wanted to have the winter months off to travel here and abroad. “I was camping around Europe and I went to the American Farm School in Greece,” Barbara said. “At that time I was thinking of a larger venture like fhiit trees, grapes or olives. But the faculty at the school convinced me that, since I would be doing this alone, I would need to limit the growing season to six months. That was fine with me since I’ve always loved to travel and camp.” After getting started with elephant garlic, Barbara was glad that she had followed the advice of her friends at the Farm School. “For the six months that fm busy with the garlic. I’m really busy,” Barbara said. She loves to use the garlic in cooking chicken: “Just chop it up - two or three cloves wfrl do • and scatter it all over the chicken before baking or frying.” Barbara cautions that elephant gariic bum easily and so must be watched with care. Barbara loves to can and work in the kitchen and she is convinced that more and more people will can and preserve their own food in various ways. "As food becomes more expensive and as the quality of commercial food deteriorates, more gardeners will grow enough to last through the winter." Barbara gardens organically and makes sure her garlic and her vegetables are carefully tended. "Sometimes I pick bugs off my beans seven or eight times a day,” she said. She also believes that keeping a garden completely weed-free is important for bug control: “I’m convinced that a weed-free garden is the secret to good-tasting vegetables,” she said. She also has noticed that keeping the first crop of vegetables in your garden free from bugs will gradually decrease the insect population until they are not so much of a problem. To market her Toll Gate Farm elephant garlic, her organic vegetables and her extra canned goods, Barbara is one of the vendors at the organic gardeners' stand which is open every Saturday behind the Rappahannock Medical Qinic. Last Saturday she had picked a special kind of corn called Tokay Corn, with cobs that are tiny and meant to be eaten whole. “I really do work terribly hard at gardening,” Barbara said. “But the other day when I brought my corn in the house to fix for lunch I thought, ’well, for something ths good, it’s all worth it.’” Gaiflc Soap Saute over very low heat three elephant garlic cloves crushed or minced fine in three tablespoons olive oil. Add salt and pepper totasteand some cayenne, paprika or curry to taste. Add six cups boiling water and simmer ten minutes. Beat two eggs until frothy and add slowly to the soup. Serve over thin slices of French bread. Garlic Mayonnaise (Aoli) Make mayonnaise according to your own recipe but add V* cup elephant garlic or to taste to the egg yolks. To Grow Elephant Garlic in Your Garden If you’ld like to grow some of this interesting and delicious garlic in your garden, Barbara offers these tips: Soil—grows in most soils, but prefers medium lam. high in humus. P.H. range from 6.5 to 7 PH. Nitrogen—adequate for fast early growth PhoaphonM—for root growth (apply before planting) rock phosphate or bone meal Calcium—maintains soil in neutral conditions Potash—for strength and rigidity Trace Elements—for making good growth use fish emulsion After Planting—when stalks appear, cultivate and keep weeded Watering—No additional watering unless drought conditions materialize. Don’t water after end of June, so bulbs can mature. Mulching—Can be used for winter protection Care—In late Spring, pinch off center stalk with buds as soon as they appear Harvesting—Ready when leaves and stalks become yellow and start withering brown. Can be pulled out of loose soil or dug with a fork. Before storing they should be thoroughly cured and dried. Care • on slats or wire in sun for 2 to 3 weeks depending on the weather. Keep out of rain. Cut stalks leaving '/> inch on the bulbs. Store—In open mesh bags or shallow wooden bins with wire or slats. Room should be cool and dry. Stir bulbs every week or 10 days so they change position. jMnq^FbrirnitSi inoUs&yasudt bu _ 9’Janm^/bort3tnnttt ' Exce^wnaiQudtfy -rnnWawWrit* the artist-TUKBgc 41$ Trvnc R&pC 12030 NA TURE'S FOOD & CAFE is now serving dinner Thursday Nights!

According to Mr. Jenkins, the barn was an old log structure 75 or 100 years old and was chock full of mowers, electrical supplies and other farm items, plus a little old hay. Jenkins was at the Viewtown store when the fire occurred. He said one tremendous bolt apparently ignited the building and in minutes it was entirely engulfed in flames. “No one was hurt, that's the main thing," said Jenkins. Fire apparatus responded but there was nothing to be done for the barn. Reunion The annual reunion for relatives and friends of the late George B. and Mary Sisk Jenkins will be held Sunday, August 2, at the American Legion Hall in Madison.

Good record keeping for the homeowner will minimize the traumatic effects of both. Here are some helpful hints: File copies of all ownership papers - your mortgage, cancelled checks showing home purchase costs, and so forth. Also keep all evidence of home improvements - receipts, contracts, and cancelled checks. The purchase costs and home improvement bills will affect how much capital gains tax you’ll owe when you sell the house. Also hang onto all evidence of closing costs, buying and selling expenses, and permanent home improvements. Document maintenance costs for fixing up your home within 90 days of the sale. Many of these items can be deducted from your capital gains and reduce the amount of tax you’ll have to pay on the profit.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V THURSDAY, JULY 30,1981 Study Finds Emergency Services In Bottom 5 % By SHERRY HAM1LL Nr*« Sf**ci*l I ritrr The Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association held its July meeting on the 17th in the courthouse in Washington. Upwards of twenty members attended. The first order of business was a report by Emergency Medical Services Council head Gary Rossen on the progress of the committee studying the dispatch problem between Rappahannock and Culpeper counties. Rossen maintained that a previous article in this paper described the services from Culpeper’s dispatcher as "free”, when in fact each station in Rappahannock pays a yearly fee toward the maintenance of Culpeper’s equipment. (The contribution by local companies was not mentioned at the July supervisor meeting or during any other discussion of the dispatch question.) Rossen’s study, presented to the Culpeper Office of the Board of Supervisors, and available to the general public, made several recommendations. First and foremost, it determined that it is more efficient and more cost effective to have a single dispatch system for the two counties, separate from the law enforcement agencies. It suggested that the major assumption of cost for upgrading the system be Rappahannock's through state and federal matching funds, while Culpeper takes responsibility for the long term maintenance cost, as that county runs five times the number of calls Rappahannock does. As far as providing the best care possible to the citizen, this method was determined to be the most advantageous. The study also recommended going to a 911 emergency phone number system in both counties to eliminate the long distance calls currently necessary. No Agreement Expected According to Rossen, Culpeper is not expected to be agreeable to the conclusions of the study. He also suggested that no matter what final solution is approved, a professional approach to the entire communications sytem is at least as important at the money spent. Next on the docket was the failure of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to write a letter of support for the local EMS Council. This letter is necessary in order to obtain state and federal funds which have already been granted to the county for advanced life support equipment. While the money has been awarded, a two-part release is necessary to actually receive it. The first involves reapproval of the oommunity plan. No problem is anticipated here as the individual responsible for approval sat in on writing of the final plan and voiced no objections at that time. The second key to the release is the letter of endorsement from the local board of supervisors. If this letter is not forthcoming in the August board meeting, the entire community stands to lose a great deal as far as improved emergency medical care goes, according to the EMS Council. Active support of the fire and rescue squads at the upcoming meeting is now being recruited. County In Bottom 5 Percent The next item on the agenda was a discussion by Ken Lussen. Executive Director of the Virginia State Fire Services Commission, and Joe Thomas Jr., Deputy Director, of a study by that commission of the fire and rescue services in Rappahannock County. This study was requested over a year ago by the local departments and was carried out by Lynn Miller, Winchester Fire Chief and Gene Darley, a Chief from Fairfax City. It was stressed that the document, basically just an outline, provides aids to planning the future of the local fire and rescue service, not mandates from the state commission. Flint Hill was singled out by Thomas for ‘‘doing a fantastic job in their overall preparedness, and cleanliness. They are ready to do the job required of them.” Communications again led off the line up, with the report concurring with the results of Rossen’s study. “The most important part of any emergency response is the starting point...the dispatcher...The dispatching facilities available for use by the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Services are minimal if they exist at all.” It was also stated that record keeping, whether at the individ ual fire house or at the Culpeper Sheriffs department was essentially nil. Thomas recommended that the state-wide reporting system be adopted with free training and report forms provided by the State Commission. Also a quarterly computer printout of numbers and types of calls would be available. Funding next came under consideration with the suggestion that the Covington Formula be implemented for squads running across county lines. This formula, developed by the City of Covington and Allegheny County essentially states that monetary values on crosscounty runs be assigned on the basis of assessed property valuation. The study also suggested that fire-rescue districts be set up for the levying of a tax with dispersal the responsibility of the county fire association. This has proved to be effective in other counties, according to the study. The section on funding concluded with the statement, "The County Government must take a more active role in the fire protection of its citizens.” Thomas further added, "This is the only county in the state where the county government gives nothing to its fire and rescue departments. I can’t believe it!” In regards to equipment. Thomas flatly stated that there are “major equipment deficiencies in this county,” but stressed that it is quality, not quantity which is important. Hand in hand with the actual equipment are the response time and the ability of the equipment to perform at a fire, he noted. There is also “unapproved” equipment in use within the county departAugust Calendar Monday, August 10, 10 a. m. Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, 10 a.m., court house.

Thomas then added a number of verbal recommendations. The first Concerned the absence of a large volume of fire-fighting foam in the county. He suggested a centralized foam bank, the cost of the foam being covered by insurance companies once the initial investment is made. He also applauded the county's fire schools but said that the classes sometimes have no relation to the area’s particular problems. ‘‘Analyze the type of incidents you respond to and train your personnel accordingly,” he suggested. Thomas concluded, “There are a number of major deficiencies in this county and something radical must be done to protect both the fire and rescue people and the citizens. Rating the state as a whole, Rappahannock falls in the bottom 5 percent. I seriously doubt your ability at the present time to handle a major fire or rescue problem.” Close Encounter For Third Time The third of a rare triple conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn occurs on July 30, according to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger, Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia. Jupiter will pass within 1.2 degrees south of Saturn marking the third and final encounter between the planets this year. Twice before, on January 14 and February 19, Jupiter passed within 1.1 degree south of Saturn as viewed from the earth. “A conjunction occurs when any two planets appear to align, or closely pass one another,” Dr. Knappenberger explained. The last triple conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn occurred in 1941 and it will be 2238, another 250 years, before this astronomical rarity occurs again. Both Jupiter and Saturn can be seen low in the southwest, in the constellation of Virgo, through the end of August. Jupiter is the brighter of the planet pair. ++++ Baltimore has a law which makes it illegal to mistreat an oyster. Rappahannock New* Phnlo/S. Latham LION PRESIDENT R. Ashton Baines took advantage of the club picnic last Wednesday to make committee assignments and other appointments. He discusses the situation with Lion Charlie Eldred. Virginia House of Delegates (and) with a different Lieutenant Governor presiding over the Senate, it couldn’t be ratified there either.” Durrette, who describes himself as solidly in the mainstream of conservative political philosophy, predictably is opposed to gun control, “I just don’t think it will work,” he told his Rappahannock audience. Gun control would put an added burden on law abiding citizens and an added expense on law enforcement while not restricting criminal access to weapons, according to the Republican candidate. Sore Punishment As an alternative to gun control, Durrette proposed increasing the “severity and certainty of punishment” for crimes committed with fire arms. Also related to criminal justice, Durrette said he favors minimum mandatory sentences for some crimes with no possibility for parole or suspended sentence and uniform sentencing, both opposed by his Democratic opponent. Uniform sentencing seems to imply that for the same crime anywhere in the state, a convicted person would receive the same number of years in prison, Durrette said. “It’s far more com plicated.” According to Durrette, a proposal on uniform sentencing from Marshall Coleman, now attorney general and Republican candidate for governor, would narrow the number of years which could be given for specific categories of offenses. For example, Durrette said, penalty for a class three felony, such as breaking and entering, would be eight to 12 years instead of the current five to 20 years. Sentence would be served without parole but possibly with time off for good behavior, he said. A greater or lesser sentence could be imposed with justification in writing in accord with specific criteria, Durrette explained. He told the court house audience that, in principle, he supported Coleman’s minimum sentencing proposal, differing with the Republican gubernatorial candidate only on a few of the numbers in the plan. Crime Deterrent Uniform sentencing will "eliminate or diminish substantially” the uncertainty and lack of predictability in punishment and will thus serve as a deterrent to crime, according to Durrette. So often in Virginia, length and severity of sentence depends on “who you are, who you know, who the judge is, who your lawyer is,” the Republican candidate said. In particular, he cited drug cases where for the same crime, one defendant will receive 15 years in prison while the second gets only a suspended sentence. Durrette maintained that minimum mandatory sentences and uniform sentencing will help eliminate this disparity. He also hit upon another favorite Republican target, the method Virginia uses to fill courtroom benches. In effect, judges are chosen by the Democratic caucus as the majority party in the General Assembly. Emotional Issue To the editor: Since the subject of abortion is a very emotional and divisive issue in our country today it is important to be informed of the facts. Some suggested books are: 1. The Right To Live, The Right To Die by C. Everett Koop, M.D. published 1980 as a Living Books paperback (Tyndale House S2.25) in which he discusses abortion and mercy killing. Dr. Koop is a Christian pediatric surgeon. Children’s Hospital, Philadelphia. 2. Whatever Happened To The Human Race? by Francis A. Schaeffer (Fleming H. Revell $13.95) 3. When You Were Formed In Secret Booklet by Gary Bergel with remarks by C. Everett Koop, M.D. Published by Intercessors For America, P. O. Box D, Elyria, Ohio 44036 (60 cents each or can be purchased in quantities for less) Dr. C. Everett Koop is President Reagan's choice for Surgeon-General of the United States. His appointment has been bottled Town Board Suggested To the editor: At a meeting of the town council a year ago, I asked that body to appoint a planning board which would be comprised of members who live within the town of Washington. I read in the Rappahannock News last week that the mayor and council are still utilizing the county planning board. I believe that the citizens of Washington are more than capable of performing for themselves this planning function. I again urge the council to appoint its own board from people who know and love this community because they live in it. PETER KRAMER Washinton up in a sub-committee in the House of Representatives for questionable reasons. I urge you to write to your representative (in this area - J. Kenneth Robinson) U. S. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. 20515, requesting him to vote for Discharge Petition No. 5 attached to the Hyde Bill 3154 to get the bill on the floor and then to vote in favor of Dr. Koop’s appointment. Check into Dr. Koop's qualifications yourself instead of depending on what the press decides to print for your consumption. When individuals have made up their minds to believe what MAN declares to be true and to reject what GOD says, it is difficult for them to come to the knowledge of the truth. The humanism that is prevalent in our society today exalts man s intellect and body and is totally ignorant of man's spiritual being to the point of declaring that it does not exist. This raises some questions. 1. If there is no scientific evidence that the product of conception from its onset has spiritual life, where is the evidence that it does not have spiritual life? 2. As for the accusation that the Right To Life people are trying to impose their moral values on other citizens, just what are the pro-abortion advocates doing when they impose their immoral values on other citizens? 3. Pro-abortionists have no inhibitions when it comes to passing legislation they favor but cry "foul” when Christians exercise their rights as citizens with an opposing view. Is this the democratic way? Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” ELIZABETH V. WHETZEL Washington, Va. Evade Facts To the editor: Doctors Martin and Krebser, in their recent letters on the abortion controversy, evade honest confrontation of the central fact which. I submit, everyone really knows. All arguments attempting to prove that it is not human life that is being aborted sound to any mind with common sense like so much propagandists and rhetorical hot air. It is impossible to believe that those directing the abortion movement really believe that it is not human life that is being destroyed. They are playing the political numbers game, for it would be very destructive of their movement among the American people were they not able to put a cloak of respectability over the fact that babies are being killed. This age, among other things, seems also to be an Age of Cover-ups. If a problematic (by the values of the abortionists) baby is not going to appear on the scene within a few months why abort anything? The question the abortionists have to ask themselves is simply this: No matter what the legal, medical, economic, emotional, sociological or demographic problems, real or imagined, that a given life may cause, can the arbitrary taking of that life during the most innocent and defenseless period of its existence be justified? Objectively, the abortionists have already answered “yes” to that question.

The opening shot of the informal session was doublebarreled with Durrette asked where he stood on the Equal Rights Amendment as well as on abortion. Opposed to ERA and prolife, the candidate responded. Durrette said he didn’t support abortion except where necessary to save the life of the mother. His own personal view, he said, is that human life begins at the moment of conception, making abortion the taking of that human life. witn tins pnuosopny, Durrette continued, he has a moral and ethical obligation to argue against abortion. He acknowledged that the only way to restrict abortion to those instances where the mother's life is at stake is to amend the U. S. constitution. “That’s not even remotely possible right now,” he said, noting that 75 percent of the country supports the prochoice position, the right of a woman to have an abortion on demand during the first six months of pregnancy. Durrette added that he though the majority eventually would accept his view, that human life starts with conception and therefore abortion constitutes the taking of a life. “But I don’t think we’ll win that battle until medical technology catches up,” he said, predicting that in another decade, it will be possible to keep a fetus alive from the moment of conception. As for ERA, Durrette described its chances for passage as slim. “I don't think it will get through the Nominations, each for a sixyear term, are voted on by the full assembly but with Democrats in control, approval of the selections made in the party caucus is, with few exceptions, a foregone conclusion. The same generally applies to reconfirmation of judges who seek appointments for subsequent terms. The subject came up when Durrette was asked what could be done to avoid repetition of a Southwest Virginia judge’s controversial decision to release convicted marijuana dealers who had served only a fraction of their sentences. “Elect a majority of Republicans” and the incident won’t be repeated, Durrette answered. “The process by which we elect judges is unfortunate (and) highly politicized,” he maintained, adding that it doesn’t provide for review of performance at the end of judicial terms prior to reappointment.

VinJ Hill To Stay Open The threat of a shutdown of Vint Hill Farms Station, an Army installtion near Warrenton, has been lifted, according to Seventh District Congressman J. Kennth Robinson. "I have received assurance from high authority in the Department of Defense that the Army will not be required to move forward with previously announced plans to phase down this installation and declare it surplus." Robinson said in a statement issued by his Washington office. “On the basis of what I have been told, I believe the Warrenton area can be reassured that Vint Hill Farms Station will continue to operate indefinitely without significant reduction in personnel,” he added. Vint Hill now houses intelligence-related and electronics activities. Robinson, who had been working against recurring proposals to clase the base over the past several years, had contended that shifting away the activities now there Ladies To Meet The Sperryville Ladies Auxiliary will meet Monday. August 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the tire hall. All members are urged to attend. and closing the base would be neither operationally sound nor cost-effective. "We were helped greatly by other members of the Virginia congressional delegation in persuading the Department of Defense to reconsider its plans." Robinson said. ‘‘Senator John W. Warner, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, gave very active attention to the matter through earnest expressions to the Deputy Secretary of Defense. “The four Virginia members of the House Armed Services Committee joined in urging the " lilitary Construction Subcommittee o register disapproval of Army use of architectural and engineering money to draw plans for a new building at Fort George G. Meade. Md., to house activities to be transferred from Vint Hill—and the subcommittee did so. "The Pentagon also received expressions of concern from the House Intelligence Committee and the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. on both of which I serve." Robinson emphasized that retention of Vint Hill as an Army post "does not mean, necessarily, that no transfers of personnel, in or out, will occur in the months ahead, but I believe that we now can expect continued full utilization of the installation by the Army."

Rebels Ride 40 Game Winning Streak By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nn** Staff Writer This summer, no one’s singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Park” in New York or Baltimore. Bleachers in major league cities across the country sit empty as negotiations continue around the bargaining table and the strike goes on...and on...and on. But in Rappahannock, the old refrain is as popular as ever. Every Sunday, it’s “one, two three strikes you’re out” when players take the field for doubleheaders at Horseshoe Hills diamond in Sperryville. For one team in the Rappahannock Slo-Pitch Softball League, the words to the old song need a little rewriting—maybe “one, two strikes and a hit." Obviously, with a record of 40 wins and no looses over the past two years in league play, the Rappahannock Rebels chalk up more runs than errors. Baseball is a passion for the 15 men who make up the Rebels' roster. Oops — change the baseball to softball. “Half of his team’s too old to play baseball," joked Mike Welch as he and a few teammates sat around Jerry Foster's living room last week. “Baseball is 99 percent AUCTION Sat., August 1 7 p.m. 6 miles south Culpeper on Rt. 29 Lots of Good Merchandise JOHN’S AUCTION HOUSE 547-2821 Auctioneer: Gen. John pitching. In softball, you’ve got excitement all the time, at every position,” Foster explained. “Everybody’s going to hit the ball somewhere,” Maury Nichols agreed. “Sometimes,” added Welch, still grinning. The camaraderie the men share is evident as they banter back and forth. This friendship is the secret behind their phenomenal record, according to Foster. ‘‘It’s a family,” he explained, borrowing a line from the Pittsburgh Pirates whose “We are Family” theme song took them to the world championship. “You wouldn’t believe the feelings on this team," Foster continued. “We’ve yet to have a cross word amongst our players. They have heart and dedication. They go on the field to win and they do it together... We all stick together. There’s no conflict at all. And we spend a whole lot of time together off the field. That’s what’s won games for us — sticking together.” Team Mom And Dad Foster talks about the Rebels the way a proud papa describes the exploits of his sons and while he doesn't play himself, he’s the key figure behind the team’s success. He’s manager, water boy, bag man and cheerleader. “He’s the one who makes the line up and gets all the cussing,” said Stevie Foster. “He does the scheduling, gets us into tournaments — all that good stuff.’ Protecting his treasures as zealously as the palace guard keeps the crown jewels, Jerry Foster holds an impressive collection of trophies for the team. Short trophies, tall trophies, bronzed trophies, tropies of silver plate and imitation gold, trophies that sparkle and reflect the colors of the rainbow overflow from bookshelves and mantels in the Fosters’ Flint Hill home.

Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hiitrhmwm THE LINE-UP FOR THE REBELS, shown here with the trophies they’ve brought home to Rappahannock after just a year and a half of'play, includes (left to right) Maury Nichols, Dickie Deal. Mike Smoot, Stevie Foster, Mike Welch, Bobby Smoot and manager Jerry Foster. The small fry in front is Rocky Foster, unofficial team mascot. Does Rose Foster resent this intrusion into her living room? About as much as Washingtonians would resent the return of big league ball to the nation’s capital. She’s the official team mother, as big a fan as her husband Jerry. According to Rose, neither she nor the other Rebel wives mind the Jong hours their men devote to baseball, at practice two nights a week at tournaments on Saturdays and in league play at Horseshoe Hills on Sunday. They’re in the stands rooting the Rappahannock ballplayers on to victory at every game, their kids adding youthful voices to the cheering section. “Absolutely! It’s a real family affair,” said Rose nodding her head for emphasis. "It’s my high in life. I don't drink. Softball is my high. I get so wound up in the games, I go through the plays in my mind before they ever happen on the field. It’s so exciting!" said Rose, her eyes shining with enthusiasm. Members of the team began playing together in the fall of 1979. The following spring, they started officially as the Rappahannock Rebels with a set of jerseys donated by realtor Peggy Clark.

Lock On First In their 1980 inaugural and so far into this year's season, the Rebels have kept a hamtnerlock on first place in the county slo-pitch league, going undefeated. Out of 109 games overall, including non-league, they won 87 in 1980, just a hair under .800 ball. Of the IS men on the roster, all but one — Dean Hahn—are natives of the county. The line-up is full of familiar Rappahannock family names. Generally, Bobby Whorton is catcher and Mike Welch goes to the mound as pitcher. “But it depends on who’s there that weekend and who’s not,” manager roster noted. Also taking the field each Sunday for the Rebels are Maury Nichols, Mike Smoot, C. E. Dodson, Bobby Foster, Aubrey Frye. Steve Lea're, Chip Frye, Bobby Smoot, Stevie Foster, Gary Jenkins, Jimmy Foster and Gary Smoot. Dickie Deal and Ennis Jenkins are also counted as team members but had to sit out this season due to injuries, Foster reported. AD Utility Players There’s not a prima donna or temperamental bonus baby in the bunch. “Everyone’s capable of playing any position on the field and does if they're asked to,” said Foster. The latest and, for the moment, most prized trophy in the Rebels' collection was brought back to Flint Hill last weekend from the District “C” Regional Tournament in Harrisonburg. Going against 25 teams from Front Royal, Luray, Page, Rappahannock and Harrisonburg, the Rebels battled their way to first place. And it was some fight, according to Foster. In one contest that went 13 innings, the Rebels held their opponents scoreless for 11 innings after the game was tied in the bottom of the second. “When we played them later for the championship, the umpire said that if the score was tied at seven innings (the end of a standard game), he was going to flip a coin for the winner,” Foster said, grinning widely. With their victory at the regional tournament, the Rebels qualified for the state finals which will be held in Harrisonburg next month. The county will be represented at tnai contest oy still another local team, the Sperryville Brewers, who finished fifth to qualify. The twp will take on 34 op-, ponents, six from each of Virginia’s six Slo-Pitch softball regions. Their style of play has won the Rebels a reputation for excellence in the field, on the mound and at the plate. That reputation extends to more than just their baseball skills. “From Manassas to Harrisonburg, everyone we talk to gives us a name for sportsmanship," Foster reported proudly. Off-Field Sports The Rebels carry this sportsmanship off the field with them. Last year, they assisted a great deal with the Rappahannock Athletic Association's summer youth league program. “Almost all of the Rebel team helped in some way, as coaches or umpires or something,” Foster said.

NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned, acting in accordance with the pursuant to a Decree entered September 17. 1981 in the cause styled "Estate of Ann L Sutphin vs RoyE Berry, Jr, et ux ." Chancery No 3005 in the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County. Virginia, whereby the undersigned was appointed a Special Commissioner of said Court to sell the hereinafter described property at public auction, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Saturday. August 8. 1981. at 10 00 a m on the front steps of the Courthouse at Washington. Virginia, I shall sell the following described tract of land to the highest bidder All that certain tract or parcel of land containing approximately 9.15 acres, more or less, in Jackson Magisterial District, Rappahannock County, Virginia, on the west side of State Route 642, about one mile southwest of the Village of Amissville,.and being the same property conveyed by deed dated September 10, 1977 from Orelia A.

KONICK, Special Commissioner FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: DAVID L. KONICK ATTORNEY AT LAW P.O. BOX 57 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA 22747 (703)875-3424 “This year, we felt we needed to devote time to team play. Some of the Rebels are still helping but a lot of them just felt they didn’t have the time,” he said, regret shading his voice. Winning streaks are made to be broken and a team that’s riding one presents a heightened challenge to opponents as basketball’s UCLA Bruins and football's Pittsburgh Steelers proved. The Rebels’ 40-game streak offers just such a challenge to the other six teams in the Rappahannock slo-pitch league. “Everybody wants to beat us. .They play extra hard against us,”said Stevie Foster, meeting with nods of agreement from his teammates. The Rebels were concerned that the publicity of a , newspaper article would spark their opponents on to even greater effort. “Be sure that you put in there you called us, that we didn’t call you!” Foster reminded the interviewer repeatedly. It’s always nicer to win than to lose but Jerry Foster isn’t overly concerned about preserving his team’s unblemished record in league play. He hasn’t set a 60, 70 or 80 win mark to strive for. The manager of the Rebels has already achieved the goal he set 15 years ago.

Dungeons And Dragons Trap Youngsters - By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock MrwuSliff Wrilrr Help! My children are prisoners on the Isle of Dread, surrounded by a horde of gibbering hobgoblins, waylaid in their search for the Black Pearl in the City of Gold. It sounds incredible but hair raising dangers have become commonplace in the rec rooms and living rooms across Rappahannock as more and more teenagers enter the world of Dungeons and Dragons. The new fantasy game which took the nation by storm last year was introduced into the county by students at Wakefield Country Day School. It’s popularity spread like the plague — some parents will find the analogy very fitting and next week. Mountain Magic Theater in Washington will host Rappahannock’s first D&D convention, a gathering that young adventure fanatics hope will be the First of many. There are at least a few parents who are more guarded in their enthusiasm. We haven’t shepherded our children through the perils of adolescence only to lose them in the coils of a giant serpent or the cold embrace of an abominable snowman. Chores and homework have a habit of dropping along the wayside as D&D'ers become absorbed in their struggles. What redblooded American boy — and boys are the chief addicts of the game — wants to spend hours memorizing the table of periodic elements for chemistry class when he can master the intricacies of a new D&D dungeon instead? Who wants to learn irregular French verbs when there’s a monster manual on the desk with pages and pages of information on the weaknesses of creatures he’ll have to face climbing the White Plume Mountains? Not my kids. We watched grades plummet, mystified by the sudden lack of academic success. First to go were TV privileges, next came soccer, telephone rights, overnight guests, after-school basketball and weekend outings. We pulled out all the stops but to no avail. The grades stayed low and family tensions stayed high. There were a few puzzles, however. The kids, always quick to grumble and pout over restrictions, skipped up the steps to the bedroom with smiles on their faces, eager to hit the books. Or so we supposed. A surprise raid uncovered a new dungeon in progress between the pages of a world history text and a dungeon master's manual hidden in a math book. The secret was out and the punishment was as merciless as the sword stroke of a dragon fighter. And as painful, judging by the hurt looks when the D&D supplies disappeared into the closet until grades began to inch back up. The game's attraction in legendary. D&D mothers tell of teenaged boys playing bleary eyed until the wee hours of the morning only to rise with the sun, bloodshot and beat, for another assault on the dungeon. Stomachs rumble ominously as youngsters who normally attack an icebox like a horde of locusts forego food rather than risk a break in the action. It's easy to spot D&D addicts, at least in the summer time. They’re the kids who are three or four shades lighter than last year when they spent their vacation dolling around the pool or sweating on a baseball diamond. What's the lure that has captured so many young people? Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese ^e Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street Warren ton 347-3785* Dice And Imagination Before tackling that enigma, we need to look at the game itself. It begins as players become fictional characters whose strengths are determined by the roll of three six-sided dice. There’s a score for intelligence, strength, wisdom, dexterity, constitution and charisma. Next, D&Ders match their scores to the class of character they elect to be. They can choose from magic users, rangers, thieves, fighters, paladins, clerics, monks, druids and assassins. Each has special talents enumerated in a handbook. For instance, a magic user is intelligent but not very strong so with a high score in intelligence and a low score in strength, it’s probably a smart move to assume that character. Each class is bound by certain rules. Paladins, the highest order, and rangers, woodland fighters who are especially gifted as trackers, must always work for lawful good. Other classes may choose between lawtul, chaotic and neutral good, neutral and lawful, chaotic and neutral evil. The distinctions are often blurred and it takes an expert to explain some of the fine lines. Once the basic shape of the players’ characters are created, they use their wealth, won through more rolls of the dice, to buy scolls, weapons and potions at a magic shop. Purchases and characters all recorded on sheets of paper, they enter the dungeon ready to fight off monsters and work their way out of traps thrown at them by the dungeon master. For each obstacle overcome and every treasure claimed, they accumulate wealth and points, tickets to higher levels and more power. Eric reported. "It was like living another life on a piece of paper.” His character is a mixedclass magic user and fighter. Eric usually chooses to compete in the neutral category. “That way, you can torture somebody or be nice to somebody, depending on how you feel,” he explained. Right now, Eric doesn’t have too much time for playing. An accomplished dungeon master, he and his D&D partner Greg Smith are creating a dungeon that will challenge adventurers at next week’s convention. “It takes a week and a half at the very minimum to come up with a good dungeon. It takes so many ideas,” Eric said. A few steps past the perils of Pauline, dungeons are fraught with danger. Behind a closed door may lurk a werewolf, a giant slug or a flock of vampire bats. For original monsters, dungeon masters have to endow their creations with hit points adventurers may attack through a roll of the dice. Less fertile imaginations resort to buying the dungeon modules, which come complete with monsters. "The dungeon master still has to spend at least three days reading the dungeon model,” reported Bob Baines. “Otherwise, it’s like going in blindfolded.” Bob, who with Aaron Schumaker, organized the D&D convention, takes an assassin as his character. “I’m more or less a good person in the real world. Sometimes, I think I'd like to be a little evil and this way, nobody gets hurt. I can take my frustrations out in the dungeon. If I’m mad, at somebody, I can get him into a D&D game and try to kill him,” Bob said. ‘It’s another world and you can be a different person. It’s kind of like going to the movies." First ADCON Rappahannock’s first Dungeon and Dragon extravaganza will get under way at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5, in Washington’s Mountain Magic Theater. Billed as ADCON for adventure convention by its organizers. Bob Baines and Aaron Schumaker, it’s open to players of all ages. Playing tables, enough to seat 50 to 60 adventure lovers, will fill the stage while other tables set up on the side of the stage will display modules and books. A special attraction is the contest for the best D&D lead figure painted by a participant in the games. Figures will also be displayed in a glass case at the front of the theater. According to Bob. the county's recognized D&D experts will serve as dungeon masters, offering both beginner and advanced dungeons. Competition is expected to be fierce. The convention has been promoted in both Warren and Fauquier counties as well as Rappahannock and word has it that a D&D club in Front Royal is sending a contingent of 20. Admission is 50 cents for players and 25 certts for spectators. Parents who want to learn more about the game that has captured their children are particularly welcome. Play will go on until 8 p.m. and then it’s quits whether the paladins, thieves and assassins are ready to go home or not. For those who can tear themselves away from the action for even a few minutes, refreshments will be available in the lobby. Fantasy Alter Egos Players keep the same character, game after game. It becomes almost an alter ego. In our house dwells a 15th level paladin, Duke Malendar, who possesses the word. Holy Avenger. To hear the kids talk about it, the Duke can iay waste to whole armies just by striking the ground with his marvelous weapon. We also share our home with a seventh level monk who’s more than a little envious of Malendar’s sword. ‘‘He got lucky on a few rolls, incredibly lucky,” the good monk said of his sibling. He's hoping for the same stroke of fortune in his fight to become Grand Master of Flowers, the highest level of monkdom. Eric Bear, another DD fanatic, played his first game with a friend, Robert Burke, who was introduced to D&D at Wakefield. "After one game, I was hooked,” Beter To Ron Contrary to the way it sounds, D&D isn’t all violence. ‘‘A lot of it is getting out of traps," my seventh level monk lectured when I complained about the gore. “We don’t fight that many things. There’s never blood — hardly. Most of the time, when you see a dragon, the smartest thing to do is run!” Even if the heros are slain, there's always a second chance. “If one guy gets killed — unless he’s burnt to a crisp — you want to carry him back to town so he can be resurrected by a cleric. You have to pay him, pay him a lot, but usually, there are a couple of clerics in every town,” said Aaron Schumaker, a high level ranger. Aaron’s creating his own guild of rangers, developing new characters in every game. He’s even building a guild house on graph paper for his troops. But his main focus is the quest for the Ax of the Dwarfish Lords, a magical artifact that confers three wishes on the bearer. It’s a practical approach to inflation that has struck even D&D. At the beginning of each game, players may use the wealth accumulated in their last contest to purchase armaments from the magic shop, like the guantlets of swimming and climbing that confer powers to swim like a merman and climb like an eighth level thief. “But magic is very expensive,” Aaron complained. “The Trident for Commanding Water Creatures cost me 17,000 gold pieces!” D&D may take kids away from their school books but it’s a tearing experience in itself. Players must stretch their memories to recall the weaknesses of monsters listed in the D&D manuals. They have to add, subtract, multiply and divide to determine their total dice scores and the money they’ve spent for a new magic scroll. Most of the creatures are taken straight from the myths and legends of past civilizations India, Greece, China, Rome, Babylonia, Norway. These same figures will pop up later in literature and history courses and when they do, DAD players will be able to greet them like old friends. a side light, not the main attraction. “You' get to get treasure. You get to get more powerful. It’s adventurous! You get to fight monsters the kind that little kids have dreams about,” Aaron explained. My seventh level monk agrees; “It kind of takes you away from reality. Reality’s not that bad but it’s fun to get away from it once in a while.” fjreneral District Court Cases George W.

Durrette Favors Sentencing (Continued from Page 1) countability, no open airing of the judge’s performance,” Duirette said. As an alternative, he suggested that judges be nominated by regional or local judicial commissions and reviewed by a legislative panel. The Republican hopeful emphasized that he wasn’t criticizing the state’s judges—just their method of selection. “I think the judiciary of Virginia is pretty good...We've been very fortunate. But 1 think it happened that way accidentally.” Asked about the backing his candidacy is receiving outside his home county of Fairfax, Durrette said support and response from other areas has been good. With the exception of Southwest portions of Virginia, Durrette noted that he has school ties all over the state /is well as family ties to relatives scattered across the Commonwealth. A native of Richmond who grew up in Southampton County, Durrette received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Virginia Military Institute in 1961 and then graduated cum laude in 1964 from Washington and Lee University School of Law before earning his master’s degree in political science from Johns Hopkins University.
