Iv* MU. Changes will be made to road plan By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer He was ready. He came with maps. He came with lists of requests. And, he came with answers. VDOT District Resident Engineer Bob Moore and the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors again faced a room full of county residents concerned with the county’s Six Year Secondary Road Plan at the annual public hearing on the plan held Monday. Moore had a prepared list of requests he received from county residents of roads they would like added to the plan this year. They included: Route 615 from Route 617 to 0.8 miles east of Route 617; Route 600 from route 653 to 0.5 miles east of Route 653; Route 622 from 1 mile west of Route 625 to 1.5 miles west of Route 625; Route 707 from the Route 604 south intersection to Route 604; Route 657 from Route 664 to the end of state maintenance; and that Lost Acres Lane (a private road) be brought into the secondary system. There were also requests for VDOT to install concrete end walls at various locations on existing large pipe lines at flood areas. But, concerns raised by citizens in attendance focused primarily on preventing paving and widening of cer tain gravel roads. The roads mentioned were: not to pave and widen Long Mountain Road; not to make any improvements to Dennis Road; not to pave Keyser Run Road; not to make any improvements to Route 614. There were several people, however that did request some road work be done on certain roads which included: widening of Route 707 at spots; widening and straightening of Route 615; fixing drainage problems on Route 1001 in Sperryville; and looking at safety issues on roads traveled regularly by school buses. Board chair Charles IC “Pete” Estes told the audience that he and Moore had discussed Route 614, west of Route 623, and agreed to remove it from the plan. Supervisor Mike Massie recommended that Long Mountain Road also be removed from the plan and said buses should not be using that road anyway. Supervisors Bob Anderson said that Lizzie Mills Road is good on one end and horrible on the other and needs some improvement. Moore will take back the information and update the plan to bring back before the board for approval. Estes said See BOARD, Page 9 Old Rag Bulletins The band Everything will be saddling up the tour bus once again to take a group of fans to their Washington, D.C. show at the 9:30 Club on Nov. 28.

John Wells in charge of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources Program in Richmond said that the programs are to identify, document, recognize and protect historic buildings, structures and sites. He attributed the residents’ lack of participation to their noticing aware of what benefits are available to them. The federal and state programs were designed to encourage investment in historic building for income-producing purposes including residential rentals and owner-occupied homes.

Man arrested still incident By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer The theft of the unusual, ornamental copper pot, stolen several weeks ago from a residence off Rock Mills Road, was solved by Lt. Larry Sherertz last week when he arrested Murphy J. Reid Jr., 42, of Rappahannock and charged him with grand larceny. In an interesting twist the pot turned out to be an antique still, about five feet across and four feet deep. It is believed to have been made in the late 1700s or early 1800s. The owner estimates its value at about $4,000. Whether it was due to Halloween antics or the invigorating fall weather, it was a busy week for Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office personnel as they responded to a series of larcenies and burglaries in the county. Two larcenies occurred on Oct. 27, one in Sperryville and the other in Amissville. A money box with cash and a check in it was taken from Mary Atkins’ home on Locust Lane in Sperryville. Deputy Connie Compton responded to the scene. There was no evidence of forced entry and the money box was found close to the home with the money missing and the check still inside. The incident is under investigation. A container with about $100 to $150 was taken from an outbuilding of a residence off Route 642 in Amissville that same day. Again, there was no sign of forced entry. The sheriff’s office is investigating the crime. On Oct. 29 Thaniel Dodson of Sperryville was visiting a friend in Amissville on Route 611 when a tool box was stolen from the larger attached tool box on the bed of his truck. The tool box contained an assortment of tools valued at about $400. The theft, which occurred before 1:30 p.m., is under investigation. The person responsible for the crime could face a grand larceny charge since the stolen property is valued in excess of $250. At 3:30 on Oct. 29 the sheriff’s office responded to a call from the Gay Street Mercantile. The shop had been closed for several days while some repairs were being made. Upon returning to the shop the store personnel found the cash box, with about $200 of starting change for daily use, had been stolen from the premises. An investigation into the incident is underway. In another call on Oct. 29 Meet From Page 1 at about the same pace and finish in a group thereby racking up five, six or seven places in a row. In the girls race, Beth Yowell of Rappahannock took third with a time of 22:25. Brentsville had first and fourth place and George Mason second. Jessie Gheen, with a time of 23:04, took fifth. Brentsville again lined up runners taking sixth, seventh and eighth, but Rappahannock’s Emily Sims took ninth and Tammy McDaniel took twelfth, follow PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CHAPTER OF THE RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY CODE The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County shall hold a public hearing on the following proposed amendments to the Zoning Chapter of the Rappahannock County Code on Monday, December 7, 1998, at 7:(X) p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, VA Hie proposed amendments are to Subsections 170-62 G.

Rachel Sharp ran an impressive race and came in first for Rappahannock in the girls developmental race with a time of 22:55. the sheriff’s office investigated damage done to private property. A vehicle belonging to Thomas Jenkins of Viewtown had been damaged by some type of blunt object (like a baseball bat). The damage has been estimated at $150. The sheriff’s office is investigating. A1 Payne, a resident of Gid Brown Hollow, reported damage to his truck while he was in Amissville on Oct. 31. Someone bent the windshield wipers on the truck backward. The damage was estimated at about $50 and the sheriff’s office has no suspects at this time. Also occurring on Halloween night was an incident at a dance being held at the Sperryville fire hall. A call was made to the sheriff’s office by the Sperryville VFD concerning a person causing trouble at the dance. Randy Smoot, 28, of Washington, was escorted off the property by sheriff’s deputies, who diffused the situation, but later Smoot returned and was banging on the door of a residence next to the fire hall. He was arrested by Deputy Roger Jenkins at 3:14 a.m. for being drunk in public. Correction In last week’s story on the juvenile escapee, it was Trooper Charlie Crummett of Fauquier who stopped the car driven by the juvenile and who handcuffed and seat belted him into the state police car. Crummett stopped the car for traffic violations at about 10:30 a.m. While he was searching the juvenile’s car the youth managed to get the seat belt undone and flee the scene on foot. Crummett called for back up after discovering that, not before. A helicopter and canine unit were dispatched by the state police to aid in the search. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Naomi Smoot DEDICATED: A group of teens from Rappahannock High School gave up a day off from school to participate in the national Make a Difference Day and make a difference they did at the Rappahannock Senoir Center. Those participating were: Frank Paratore, Lauren Sharp, Tatiana Saccardi, Stephanie Grigsby, Julie Payne, Mark Williams, Chris Sause, Lindsay Burger, Naomi Smoot, Sandy Oliver, Meghan Fairbrother and Ryland Pace. Teens work to make a difference By Naomi Smoot Rappahannock News Special Writer On Friday, Oct. 23, 12 ■members of the Rappahannock High School Student Council Association participated in National Make A Difference t)ay. The teens, mainly juniors and seniors, visited the Rappahannock Senior Center for a day of work and fun. They painted, planted flowers, trimmed shrubs and trees, washed windows, did some inside repairs and prepared lunch for the seniors. They also did a papier mache project and played Bingo in the afternoon with them. Darcy Canton, site coordinator for the RSC, said that she had expected a positive response from the SCA. “I was expecting to see good things and I did.” Not only did the seniors Catherine Ft 4 Interact Theatre Company 'returns to kittle Washington the weekend of Nov. 7 and 8 ■after far too long an absence, interacts artistic director and founder Catherine Fly, accompanied by Dori Legg and pianist Alex Hassan, will perform at The Theatre at Washington, Va.

It felt good to help people out and felt as though we were making a difference. I’d love to go back.” “I thought that the meal was really good with the seniors and teens eating together. I think they really appreciated it,” said Emily Sims, SCA secretary. “Hopefully we can make it an on-going project.” Canton agreed that it would be good to continue the project on an annual basis. “I would love to see them return,” she said. “It was a really positive experience for the seniors to have somebody give something back to them.

It sounded like a really good idea and an opportunity to help people. So we decided to do it.” “When we looked at the different types of projects we could do for Make A Difference Day we decided we really wanted to make a difference and felt working at the RSC was a good way to do that,” he said.

She has put considerable time and money into researching about 50 available federal and state housing and small business programs that she thought might provide assistance. Each program has its own requirements that are unique. Many of the federal loans are tailor-made for Sperryville, where she lives, she said. During an interview, she presented descriptions of federal low interest loans and grants for housing and small busi nesses totaling over $1 billion. She explained that many programs are available, however, dealing with government bureaucracy is not an easy matter. If a group were working together, it would provide a support system, as well as vesting them with more authority when dealing with government offices, she said. The first step in organizing a women’s bureau would be to apply for a grant to finance an office. Having a physical space to write grants and answer telephone inquiries would be helpful, she said. Lee-Harris worked with several successful women’s groups in Indiana in the 1970s. One group established a safe house for abused women and continues today, and another provided workshops for educating women about financial and legal concerns She has successfully completed four lengthy and complicated adoptions for her own three children. About three years ago, Harris moved to the county from Middleburg with her husband, Paul, and children She described herself professionally as a “body-centered wholistic health practitioner,” and maintains a studio in her Sperryville home and in Middleburg. So far, four other women are interested in helping, and some have legal and real estate backgrounds. A meeting is planned from 7 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 12 at Gannons’ Old Sperryville Bookshop at 44 Main St. Lee-Harris may be reached at 987-1002. Sperryville From Page 1 increase from the current 15 percent to 25 percent in the year 2000. Federal tax credits will remain at 20 percent. A tax credit is money deducted directly from income tax liability. Non-historic buildings, defined as being built before 1936, are eligible for a 10 percertt federal tax credit. In order to qualify for the Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program, an application and a fee must be submitted to the Department of the Interior and approved before restoration work is begun. The state program requires a separate application, but the two may be submitted together.

In the year and a half since the Sperryville Historic Committee met at Belle Meade to listen to the co-chair of the National Trust, Peter Brink, talk about historic districts, significant progress has been made largely due to the efforts of Williams. Gov. James Gilmore appreciated her efforts in a letter he sent her. He recognized Williams for her distinguished commitment to historic preservation and made her a recipient of the community resource toolbox: Last week she was reading her way through the pamphlets and letters. She will serve as liaison between the community and the state, so village residents can direct concerns and questions to her. “You have to work together or else you will have a harder time succeeding,” she said. Williams credits Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors chairman Pete Estes with the village being designated as a historic district. He and Bill Loomis, then owner of the Sperryville hotel, worked in the early 1980s to have the town recognized for its distinctive architecture. In 1997 Williams organized the Sperryville Historic Committee. Present and past residents of Sperryville have donated old photographs and $1,100 to the cause that resulted in a marker for the village. The marker was placed near the end of Main Street near Lee Highway in 1997. It states that Sperryville was a crossroads village in the early 19th century and by the 1850s had a popula tion of 350, numerous shops, five general stores, four churches and a hotel. Williams ordered plaques for owners of 25 of the 78 historic properties in the National Register, which will help great ly with the preservation effort Now the committee needs volunteers to do research on ‘ ticbuildings, so each will have a written history. Most of the buildings on Main Street are recognized as 100- to 15uyears-old or older, she said. Sperryville was historically a crossroad community onlv five miles from the mountains, rich in architecture and history, and we have the opportunity to research and preserve it. Williams said. A Conestoga wagon built on Main Street :n Sperryville is on display at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. Williams expressi d hope that someday the wagon could be returned to the area. Main Street is one of the oldest roads in this part of the state with the buildings built close to the road for horses and wagons, Williams said. In November or December, she is planning a coffee for vol - unteers. She added, “The background work with the Historical Committee will hei p with applications for grants.’ From our vision statement and the priorities used to create^ it, the Sperryville Gateway Committee has recently completed its survey and is now in the process of trying to reach as many of the county residents as possible. Due to the cost the committee was only able to mail the survey to the Piedmont District residents. In order to allow for the widest dissemination possible we are publishing the survey in the Rappahannock News. The Sperryville Gateway area discussed in this survey deals primarily with the Piedmont District, however, as any action items will affect you and our community as a whole, we are asking for your input on these as well as any other suggestions and comments you may have.

Next week the town council will appoint a new member to sit on the council and fill the seat left vacant by Peter Skowronski. If you are interested in serving on the council or know someone you think would make a good council member contact the other members of the council and let them know. Public input is an important part of the decision process for councils or boards at any level of government. It is even more helpful in situations where the appointment of another member to fill a vacancy becomes the temporary responsibility of such a body Rappahannock Today mumammaamm Trick-or-Treaters had a great time collecting goodies in Washington, Va. on Halloween. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cart Ebom *i* J Letters Church commended This past Saturday, as Mayor of the Tbwn of Washington, I had the honor of being invited to and attending the banquet celebrating the 125th anniversary of the First Baptist Church. It was an evening of warm fellowship and wonderful food. More importantly it was an evening to honor 125 years of distinguished service to God and to our community. Established in 1873, the church initially occupied a site on Wheeler Street. The first 45 members were baptized in the Rush River in a year that must have enjoyed more rain than the present. In less than 10 years the church moved to its present location on Main Street where it and its congregation have played an integral part in the town’s history. I congratulate and commend the church and its pastor, Rev. Dr. Wendell R. Grant, on the outstanding contributions they have made and wish them continued success in their ministering to the needs of our community. Stewart Willis, Mayor, Town of Washington The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors made an excellent decision when it approved the local School Board’s recommendation for an expansion of the high Appoint Lynch On Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Washington Town Council will be called upon to fill the council seat vacated by Mr. Peter Skowronski. I implore the council members to give full and due consideration to the selection of a person for this vacancy who has clearly shown an interest in serving on the council. Mr. Reinhardt Lynch offered his candidacy during the last election, and a consid erable number of voting town residents expressed their wishes by casting their votes in his favor. Therefore I feel that Mr. Lynch is eminently qualified to fill this vacancy and should be appointed. I urge the town residents to call on all sitting council members and express their preference regarding the vacancy on the council. Marcia Nagle Washington, Va. school. This is a much needed , project and their timely decision will make a big differ- , ence in the education of the children of this county. A citizens advisory committee was formed many r months ago which included two supervisors. They stud- '• ied this issue very carefully and concluded that there was no question that the expansion was necessary. Everyone involved in the process looked at every option and possibility. Knowing that it was the right thing to do, our super- v visors acted boldly and , % thoughtfully to approve a bond issue to fund the expansion. They should be , t commended. '! Rick Kohler" \ Amissville Opinion Sprawl will cost you money By Don At dk itk Kapp.'ih;inn*K'k News ('ont'nlxiting Writer A lew years ago it was estimated that m Rappahannock County an average new residence would cost the county $1.20 in services tor every dollar taken in as revenue by taxes. That's a deficit. The study also showed that if land were left as farmland, forest, or other open space, the cost to the county would be only 17 cents for every dollar taken in as revenue. That's a surplus. Put it another way. A cow is not going to put the county into debt; more people will. And more people are settling nearer Rappahannock County each year as sprawl spreads out from Washington, D.C. What is sprawl? Sprawl means everything is spread out. Houses are built here and there on what was farmland; a work place may be far away on what was also farmland; shopping is along a distant strip mall; governmental services Out of the attic r Photo Courtesy ot Dunny Eastham Jackee Massie Eastham with brother Tom Massie at a very young age in 1943. i I are elsewhere; schools are in another direction. That sounds like Rappahannock County today. Right? What’s the difference? The difference is that the county’s main business is agriculture and farmland has not yet been carpeted with, say, 6.000 home sites built by one developer, or 500 homes built by another builder, or 4,000 homes by a third developer. Nor is there a high-tech business that employs 30,000 people, or another company with 5.000 employees and so forth. It’s a matter of scale. The county still has the same small villages it had in the 1800s, and just outside of each village you still have farms, open fields and wooded hillsides. Rappahannock has not yet been exploited. In a worst case economic scenario, the county could still raise crops and livestock and feed itself. Intelligent land use and the preservation of farmland are the key elements in preventing sprawl. Once “growth” makes its appearance in the county, then the sprawl community will move in big time. At that point, outside residential and commercial developers, realtors, bankers, the construction trades, and transportation elements will take over the county and run it however they want. And early warning signs abound. Nearby counties are wrestling with development on a scale that makes Rappahannock County look like Shangri-La. Every year, Loudoun County increases its population by the current population of this county. Fauquier County recently approved a 667-home development over the vehement objections of a great many of its residents. Culpeper County is contemplating a “beltway” around the town of Culpeper and four-laning U.S. 522 right to the border of Rappahannock County. There are large housing developments in existence, h K or planned, right at the edge of the county: Clevenger’s Corner, Wildwood Forest, Longlea, South Wales, etc. Look at nearby country crossroads and you will see the sudden appearance of the standard cluster of a gas station or two, a mini-storage facility, rental trailers, fast food franchises, and maybe a truck stop. Once the development steamroller starts, there is no way to stop it. Lobbyists for the housing industry are smoothly working with the Virginia General Assembly to neutralize the ability of rural counties to control their own destinies. The Dillon Rule, which lets Richmond keep counties on a short leash, allows the sprawl community to make profits while shifting the after-burden costs to the ordinary taxpayer. It’s “us” who will be paying the increased property taxes for more schools, sewers, jails recreation areas, emergency services, etc., not “them.” They will have made their profits and moved on to their next project, leaving their legacy of “deficits” for the local citizenry to wrestle with. Let’s get back to farmland. The American Farmland Trust estimates that the U.S. is losing 50 acres an hour to sprawl development. An acre is about the size of a football field. Picture 50 football fields of development underway each hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, non-stop. By the time you have coffee and look through the morning newspaper, 50 football fields of farmland will have disappeared. And the Piedmont is one area where farmland is disappearing at the fastest rate. Is there any solution? Can Rappahannock County remain different? Preventing the further loss of farmland through the use of conservation easements or the transfer of development rights, plus the concentration of any “local” growth around the current villages, could be a start. A conservation easement is a legally binding recorded interest in property that gives a qualified public or private agency the right to prohibit any use, subdivision, or development that is contrary to the conservation purposes spelled out in the easement deed. Conservation easements are used to protect agricultural land, land of ecological importance and open spaces. Landowners may be permitted to deduct the fair market value of easements from their income for tax purposes. The transfer of development rights (TDRs) has been defined as a program that allows landowners to transfer the right to develop one parcel of land to a different parcel of land to prevent farmland conversion. TDR programs establish “sending areas” where land is to be protected by agricultural conservation easements and “receiving areas” where land may be developed at a higher density than would otherwise be allowed by local zoning. Land owners in the sending area sell development rights to landowners in the receiving area, generally through the private market. When the development rights are sold on a parcel, a conservation easement is recorded and enforced by the local government. In some cases, local governments may establish a “TDR bank” to buy and sell development rights. The above could be the way to concentrate any growth in the villages. The villages would be where most people would live, work, play, shop and socialize. Tax incentives could draw agriculturally or nature oriented businesses to the villages, providing for local employment. All this might limit the use of automobiles for every little task. If you lived in a village, you could walk to most everything. Is all this realistic? Or would there still be the need for the stimulation of the big I city? Would people ever pry themselves loose from their. TVs or computers to go to a , local community center to mix!; with real people? This would / , be a major cultural shift for a ! county where everyone tends •! to be very independent in i, thought and action. ‘ • What if the county rolled over and accepted sprawl, but “ concentrated it in one area, say between the Culpeper County line and Amissville, along U.S. 211. Amissville is already split by four lanes of U.S. 211 and the route is a main commuter route as well as the highway used by tourists on their way to Shenandoah National Park. U.S. 211 has the highest traffic counts in the county and is being watched carefully-/ by outside developers. As soon • J as traffic levels reach a certain \ • threshold, franchises will [ move in. The land is relatively !• wide and flat, characteristics '» appreciated by both residen- J tial and commercial interests. > Homes and businesses are 'J already strung along U.S. 211, > and housing projects are in ;» place or underway just over • * the Culpeper County line. !• Maybe concentrated tract’5 housing would work. !* Would this satisfy develop- ;! ers? It might be the camel’s • J nose under the tent. A prece- > dent would have been set and 'J the sprawl virus would!* spread. More importantly, the;I political structure of the coun- !j ty would change. Many new> people would want more and J better services; school popula- !• tions would soar; development '• would become the “in” thing;!; your taxes would go up. !• You must remember this:'« sprawl loves a slumbering citi-! * zenry.

Scouts plan dinner/auction coy scout Troop 200 recently hosted a Hunter’s Safety Course at the Flint Hill fire hall. Approximately 16 people of all ages participated in the course. Thanks went to Jim Bankston for conducting the two-day course. The scouts from Troop 200, who passed the course, will be working toward their shotgun and rifle merit badges. Eagle Scout Jeremy Graves continues to work on his Eagle Project of the Fitness Trail. If you can help with this project, contact Jeremy or Gary Graves at 635-9601. . The Troop is currently selling popcorn as a Shenandoah Council fundraiser. They have microwaveable butter or plain popcorn, as well as beautiful tins filled with caramel pop1 com. If you are interested in buying some popcorn, call 6359601 and order. Popcorn will be delivered at the end of November. The scouts have been working on merit badges as a troop each month. In September, the troop completed their Emergency Preparedness badge with a trial search and rescue mission. Scouts who attended were able to locate a missing baby and apply necessary first aide. In October, the troop worked on the Soil and Water Conservation badge. The troop attended a camp out in Shenandoah National Park to work on this badge, Oct. 16 through 18. The annual dinner/auction will be held at the Flint Hill fire hall on Nov. 7. Dinner will be served from 6:30 to 7 p.m., with Election From Page 1 Welch will have to run again next November when the regular election for the board takes place. 10th District Republican Frank Wolf, the region’s preeminent “pothole politician,” cruised to a tenth term in Congress yesterday with a decisive win over Democrat newcomer Cornell Brooks and Libertarian candidate Robert Buchanan. A strong economy and record low unemployment levels across the region seemed to bolster voter confidence in Wolf, spurring what looked to be a landslide victory. Unofficial results showed Wolf with a strong lead late last night, with 71 percent of the vote. “I think the voters returned me to office based on what I have done, on my record,” said Wolf at a victory party in Leesburg. Wolf pledged to continue balancing the federal budget, to work to save Social Security “in a way that is appropriate and sound for everyone,” and to expand truck safety programs. Meals tax Rappahannock voters approved a county meals tax by 56 percent of the vote. The issue will next go to public hearing to determine the percentage of tax to be imposed. From there, the board of supervisors will decide how to implement the collection of the tax. Amendments Only three of five proposed amendments to the state constitution got the nod from voters yesterday after a campaign by state Republicans stirred voters to reject the remaining two. Questions 3 and 4, which would have paved the way for new regional governing bodies with the power to raise and spend public money, were defeated after garnering only 43 and 39 percent, respectively of ballots cast., according to unofficial tallies. Rappahannock’s vote totals mirrored the state results with every precinct rejecting Questions 3 and 4 and approving Questions 1, 2 and 5. The three passed amendments allow Virginia residents living overseas to vote in local elections; expand the powers of the General Assembly to release information about judicial reviews, and permit localities to repeal the business, professional occupation licensing tax. The defeated amendments were drafted by a pair of state senators representing rural districts who wanted to allow counties to band together to create industrial parks.

Cows still graze in the warmth of the midday sun as a late fall breeze steals tenacious leaves still clinging to nearly bare branches: a lovely pastoral scene, so typical of the virginal beauty in America, untouched by any war for over a century...never soiled by a foreign enemy. Many of our veterans will not experience such scenes as this one. Perhaps some were blinded or deafened or crippled by a grenade or a gunshot. Possibly others are ill due to poisonous gas or germ warfare, a lasting gift from the enemy which may affect their sons and daughters. Still others are wounded emotionally, functioning marginally or not at all. j As Veterans' Day appproaches, may we thank (iod that there have been no j foreign invaders on our soil. Concurrently, may we remember those who I sacrificed to make this possible. As we worship this week, let us say a special J prayer for our veterans.

While both are inevitable, most think it will never happen to them - as if they were talking about a catastrophic volcano eruption. The fact is that those who take stock of their lives, and deaths, can begin to plan for death's eventuality in a way that ensures less pain, indecision, and responsibility for their surviving family. Pre-planning funeral arrangements is both the responsible and realistic thing to do. As Samuel Johnson once said, “When we see our enemies and friends gliding away before us, let us not forget that we are subject to the general law of mortality." Perhaps you've never even considered prearrangements. We'd be happy to introduce you to your various options because we believe such preplanning can offer true peace of mind. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we know how dverwhelming it can be when a family goes through a loss. That's why we do our best to take over the management of the important details. We take pride in the comfort and care we can offer. You can reach us 24-hours a day at 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton). “All men think all mortal hut themselves. ” - Owen D.
