Collision kills Castleton man By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Writer Winding, hilly Route 729 in Rappahannock County was the scene of another fatal accident, according to the Virginia State Police. George H. Raub, 55, of Castleton was killed June 2 when his 1984 Datsun pickup heading south on Route 729 entered a curve too fast, locked its brakes and slid in to the northbound lane where it hit head on a full size 1994 GMC pickup driven by Robert Carroll of Castleton, according to Sgt. Tbdd Thylor. "Speed was a factor in the accident," said Sgt. Taylor who worked the scene. He said it couldn't be determined though exactly how fast Raub was driving. Raub's truck overturned and he was dead at the scene, said Sgt. Thylor. The 6:30 p.m. accident occurred one-tenth of a mile south of the location where Rappahannock County High School senior Mary Beth Williams,18, lost her life while a passenger in a car that slammed into a large walnut tree on Route 729 on May 14,1997. Carroll was taken to Fauquipr Hospital along with two young girls, aged five and seven, who were occupants in his car. An injured teenaged girl in Raub's car was flown by helicopter to Fairfax INOVA Hospital. While Carroll has been released, hospital information was unavailable on the condition of the other occupants of each car. Rappahannock News P.O.

Ginsburg, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D C. Dr. Werner Krebser 1928-2003 By James P. Gannon Special to the Rappahannock News Dr. Werner Krebser, a man of humble immigrant roots who rose to positions of influence, prestige and enormous respect fci Rappahannock County, died June 6 at his home near Flint Hill. The cancer that killed him at age 75 was the only force ever to subdue this man of indomitable spirit, dogged determination and deep humanity. In nearly four decades in this small, rural county, the Swiss-bom physician known simply as “Doc” wove himself into the fabric of Rappahannock in so many ways that it will lack some of its color and texture without him. He was many things to many people — family doctor, neighboring farmer, counselor, fHend, county planner, political philosopher and opinionated debater in his legendary “Lunch Bunch.” He became, in all these roles, a kind of father-protector figure — looking out for people’s health, protecting the environment, advocating strict laws on zoning and land use and gathering to himself a community of friends that ranged from the lowly to the mighty. “Dr. Werner Krebser was the ‘first citizen’ of Rappahannock, the conscience of the community,” said his long-time neighbor and friend Douglas H. Ginsburg, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. “Doc was quite simply one of the finest men I ever knew.” Peter Kramer, a friend of more than 30 years, said Dr. Krebser “had an ability to relate to all kinds of people, and he had an impact on just about every one of them. He was my doctor and my friend. He was that old, country-type of doctor who had his flock, and he cared for them.” Besides being a family doctor to many, Dr. Krebser became a highly visible public official in his 21 years of service on the county Planning Commission, including a term as chairman. He was an outspoken champion of protecting the scenic beauty and open spaces of Rappahannock. “He was always veiy active, very decisive in his opinions,” recalled Sharon Pierce,who served 10 years with him on the commission. “He truly had the interests of the county at heart, as he saw them.” Butch Zindel, who also served as a planner, said the commission “got much more professional and kept in tune with the comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinances,” thanks to Dr. Krebser's influence and willingness to tackle tough issues. “He was not afraid to bring up See KREBSER, Page A3 School 8 Board thanks Helen Williams By Gerald Ochs Special to the Rappahannock News The School Board tackled such issues as school staff vacancies, construction of a new track and field facility and the announcement of School Board candidates for the November election at its June 10 meeting. It also took time to bid adieu and offer thanks to key school officials.

School Board Chairman Wesley Mills recognized her contributions and expressed his "deep gratitude to Helen Williams for this past year." He asked board members to propose a means of more formally thanking her for her efforts. The board approved a resolution in honor of School Board member^ and community enthusiast Franklin Warner, who passed away on May 20. Chairman Mills read the resolution that offered condolences and expressed "deepest appreciation” for Warner s contributions to the school system. Williams presented a copy yf the resolution to Dorothy Warner. See SCHOOL, Page A2 rvPercentage of married persons in county higher than state By Maureen Harris Special to the Rappahannock News The 2000 U.S. census, which included Rappahannock County, indicates that 63.7 percent of county residents age 15 years or older are married and living with their spouse. This is significantly higher than the percentage for the state of Virginia as a whole. In Virginia, only 55.7 percent of adults are married and living with their spouse. This is also higher than any of the surrounding counties (Culpeper, 59.5 percent; Fauquier, 62.0 percent; Madison, 61.9 percent; Page, 58.7 percent; Warren, 57.8 percent).

This is lower than each of the surrounding counties and is much lower than the state of Virginia (2.9 percent). Rappahannock County has a high percentage of its adult residents who are divorced. For men, 6.1 percent are divorced; for women, 4.3 percent are divorced. The total percentage of divorcees is thus 10.4 percent. In Virginia only 3.8 percent of men and 5.2 percent of women are divorced, for a total of 9.0 percent of adults.

Sponsored by: Forest Grove Baptist Church iinmiHHHnmiii Wakefield day school holds annual art show By Kathie Russo Special to the Rappahannock News Art students from kindergarten through 12th grade at Wakefield Country Day School recently had their art work exhibited at the school’s annual end-of-the-year art show last month. In grades K-7, the work showcased the students’ accomplishments using the Monart Method Drawing Program. The school began using this method this year, thanks to Barbara Sherwood, a WCDS parent, artist and long-time advocate of the method. Her support and perserverence helped generate funds for the program. The Monart Method was created in 1979 by Mona Brookes, an art teacher from California. It teaches' students to see the world in terms of five basic elements of shape, and how to put that information on a piece of paper. The goal of Monart is to create a noncompetitive, nonjudgmental environment where all students can achieve success, develop self confidence and experience the joy of artistic expression through realistic drawing. A stroll through the WCDS art show was indicative of how successful this program has Photo courtesy of Gary Lauben Madison Romine, who is in kindergarten at Wakefield Country Day School, drew this lion which was in the school’s annual art show. been in only nine months. “It is safe to say that 100 percent of the students in grades kindergarten through seven had one or more hugely successful pieces of art,” observed Marcy Lynn Lauben, the Lower School art teacher. “Everything on display was skillfully rendered. There were surprising realistic details, great composition, and richly expressive colors, and it is due in no small part to Monart.” Lauben reported that by the middle of the school year, all of her students, even the ones who did not consider themselves “artistic,” had gained confidence and were unafraid to tackle the projects. “It’s amazing what they ended up doing,” she said. “In addition to teaching my six to 14 year olds how to draw more realistically, I also wanted to introduce them to important artists and their styles, so I had second and third graders copying Picasso and Van Eyck paintings. No one complained, and everyone did a great job.” Alongside the traditional art forms —drawings paintings, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media and collage— the art show also featured graphic design and commercial art projects. In an effort to get the students to understand that artists are responsible for designing “the stuff of our everyday lives,” they illustrated CD covers, designed logos, business cards, marionette puppets, board games and even made an animated cartoon. The third grade’s cartoon, based on the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, was probably the highlight of the show. Tb complete this project, each of the 10 third graders picked a character from the poem to develop. Pencil drawings were made of the characters and background scenes. Then the students came up with a storyboard and recorded all the audio clips. This material was then given to Lauben’s husband, Gary, and his company, Lilypad Graphics. He was responsible for animating the students’ drawings. He scanned each of the drawings, converting them to a vorks Sho musicJHMM bitmap hie, then he imported each bitmap into the program, Macromedia Flash. Here he added color, movement and sound to each drawing, based on what the third grade had provided in its storyboard. The final result was a wonderful full color animated cartoon, the first of its kind at WCDS, and definitely not the last. The cartoon can now be viewed at www.Lilypadgraphics.com.

By Bob Scott Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock Lions recently celebrated its 45th birthday. The club was officially “bom” in 1958. The event is called “Charter Night” and it is observed each year with family and friends with a fine dinner. This year was very special. Two of the senior Lions were recognized with very high honors and received attractive plaques to decorate their Lions’ dens. Both honors were approved by the president of the Intemationabfaons Clubs. Carson Johnsbn, the surviving charter member of the club was granted the rare honor of Life Membership.

Krebser From Page A1 controversial issues in order to get a resolution of them,” added Zindel. Though he became a man of wealth, influence and status, Dr. Krebser came from humble origins, which shaped his political beliefs. “It’s easy to forget he was an immigrant who came here as a young man who could barely speak any English,” said Bill Dietel, another close friend. “That experience lasted him a lifetime. I think it infused his sense that America was a place where immigrants and poor people have a chance to make it in life. It also fueled his outrage over social injustice.’” Success in America Werner Krebser lived an American success story that had its roots in Zurich, Switzerland, where he was bom on January 9, 1928, the son of a butcher, Rudolph Krebser and his wife Catharina. A He followed his lather’s footsteps, learning the butcher’s See KREBSER, Page A8 Rae Ann of South Carolina and her daughter and son-in-law, Dana and Jason Watson, who reside here were also present.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.TimesCommunity.com THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 2003 Our View Our history The final report of the survey of historic houses and other structures in Rappahannock County will be presented this Sunday at 2 p.m. at The Theatre on Gay Street in the Town of Washington. It has been a long time coming. More than 20 years ago, the county's Comprehensive Plan first recommended such a survey. Why is this survey so important? Pride in our history is one reason. If the recommendations in the report are implemented, Rappahannock County will have more rural historic, districts, and more historic properties per capita, than any county in the state. And if we want to restore historic properties, both the Commonwealth of Virginia and the IRS offer significant tax credits to homeowners. But there are other reasons. The Comprehensive Plan says that our economy is built on agriculture and tourism. Traditional agriculture is in decline, except for niche markets such as organically grown meats and produce. That leaves tourism. History attracts tourists, a mainstay of our economy. Historic Sperryville is favored by tourists, the Town of Washington has been a tourist attraction for decades ai}d the Civil War history throughout the county attracts visitors too. Just as our open spaces, our mountains and our rivers and streams are part of our landscape, so too is our history. We see it every day in our homes and villages. We need to preserve that legacy as well. We urge everyone to go to the Theatre Sunday and learn more about something else that makes Rappahannock special. ‘Thank you’ to deputy sheriff My family would like to thank Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Deputy First Class Mark Currence for his professionalism on Saturday night after we locked our keys in the car at a wedding.

Letters Krebser’s death: ‘the loss of a towering figure in our community’ Like Werner Krebser, I was not born a Virginian or a Rappahannocker, but made a conscious decision to become both. And although he wasn’t even born in this country, I cannot think of anyone who better represents not only the American dream, but also what it truly means to be a citizen of Rappahannock County and the Commonwealth of Virginia. To me, Dr. Krebser embodied the Jeffersonian idea of a true Virginia gentleman, scholarly and athletic, politically engaged, with a great appreciation for farming and the beauty of the land, and one who took great delight in the company of his fellows. Next to Mr. Jefferson, I’d have to say the Werner was probably my best role model on how to be a Virginian, but he was next to no one in show ing me how to be a Rappahannocker. I only got to know Werner during the last eight years of his life, and it was through my friendship with him that I really began to appreciate the Werner Krebser convictions, yet showed great tolerance for the views of others. He was a man who was at ease with himself, and was quick to put others at ease with a unique and special character of the community we live in (as well as some of the really unique and special characters who live here). Werner was a man who fully inhabited the world around him—both the physical world and the world of ideas. He enjoyed both building stone walls, and knocking down interior walls of prejudice and bigotry. He was man who had the strength of his warm and friendly smile. He was a self-made man who accomplished a great deal in life and still found time to give back an enormous amount to his community. Many knew him in his role as the quintessential country doctor, caring and compassionate, but willing to dispense tough, no-nonsense advice when necessary. For me, however, he was a man who had the knack of turning a simple lunchtime gathering into a philosophy lesson, and perhaps, no less importantly, he was a man who could appreciate and tell a great joke. His death marks the loss of a towering figure in our community. In his years of community service, Werner was someone who always stood firmly for fairness, decency, compassion, and doing the right thing. His passion for education, and tireless dedication to preserving the great natural beauty of our Rappahannock countryside for future generations to enjoy, are perhaps his most lasting legacies to our county. He will not be easily replaced. I cherished his friendship and will miss him greatly. Alan Zuschlag Amissville Dr. Krebser’s wish ‘sounds remarkably selfless’ A Jim Neighbors from Washington voiced a curious premise in the Rappahannock News recently: that the late Dr. Werner Krebser should have been “ashamed of himself” and issue an “apology” because he had used his last dying wish to ask that the junk cars on Route 211 be removed. To me, Dr. Krebser’s wish (which our writer describes for some reason as a “holy war” of “coercion, guilt and political manipulation”) sounds remarkably selfless. Certainly the average citizen might make a deathbed wish for security for one’s family (or perhaps for a last trip to Atlantic City), but Dr. Krebser used his waning breath to do something simple and good for the county. The writer then makes another surprising assertion: that Dr. Krebser is intentionally ignoring the apparently well-known legal principle that “a man has a right to do with his property as he sees fit.” I think that most people feel that property rights end precisely where they start to infringe on the rights of another, which B & B Service Center’s pile of long-past-war ranty cars would certainly appear to do. Our writer goes on to say that “Rappahannock is not a park for the influential elite to play in.” Be that as it may, it does, however, contain actual parks and playgrounds attached to the schools in which our children, elite or otherwise, do play. One of these is located not much more than a tenth of a mile from the first junk cars on the lot, if my car’s odometer is to be believed. I would like to applaud the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) for voicing its opposition to the junk cars. Bravo! I had feared that the RLEP had turned solely into a one-note opponent of all change, no matter how positive that change may be (for example the environmentally wonderful Sunnyside Institute or cell phone coverage that could save lives and support local fire and rescue). It’s good to see the RLEP return to its roots as a true defender of the environment. Micah Solomon Oasis CD Manufacturing Sperryville The Nature Conservancy: powerhouse conservation at work There is an adage in politics that if you get attacked from both sides, you must be doing something right. Just look at The Nature Conservancy, the huge nonprofit conservation organization that has over the past half century played a key role in saving some 115 million acres of woodland, watersheds and open space in this area, nation and around the world. The Conservancy is slammed from the far right for working too cozily with government and with conspiratorial concoctions of its great influence and determination to undermine private property rights. From the political left, meanwhile, the organization is charged with being too cozy with business, too much involved with rich people and for getting into odd new types of economic activities on its lands. We saw some of this in a pretty misleading recent series played front page in The Washington Post ("Big Green"). Doing it right here So The Nature Conservancy in all must be doing its job in the natural sciences pretty well. Enough to draw several billion dollars of current financial support worldwide, only Commonplace Notes Arthur Arundel ublisher K about 10 percent of it from corporate donors, and to become today the nations 10th largest nonprofit organization. What critics on both sides fail to grasp is that The Nature Conservancy has such a winning batting average simply because its focus is more about results than about posturing. Eschewing ideological baggage and the adversarial tactics that cripple so many environmental groups, the organization has time and again managed to successfully find the elusive middle ground in the complex work of protecting the world's environment. Oasis of wilderness here Here in our comer of that world there is plenty of hard evidence of its non-confrontational, results-oriented approach to conservation. Earlier this year, for example, the Conservancy acquired 9,000 acres of forest in the hills around the sprawling nearby Homestead resort at Warm Springs. This is the latest in a series of projects that have protected 240,000 acres across Virginia, from the 220acre Fraser s Woods Preserve in Fairfax to Wildcat Mountain in Fauquier County and the vast southeast Virginia wetlands of the Great Dismal Swamp. And anyone who has walked on the Billy Goat Trail at Great Falls can thank the Conservancy and its corporate partner, PEPCO, for ensuring that this spectacular section of the Potomac River remains forever intact. How many other communities can boast such an oasis of wilderness less than a dozen miles from its city center? Conservancy President Steve McCormick concedes they have taken on a tall order mission—"to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. I like that It's bold stuff. At the radical center The Nature Conservancy has achieved results by operating from the radical center— without litigation, regulation, loud protests or boycotts. It has built a unique niche in the conservation community by approaching its mission from a free-enterprise perspective, which means using market mechanisms to encourage American business to offset emissions of carbon that contribute to global warming and working with major lumber purchasers like Home Depot to buy wood that has been legally harvested and environmentally certified. It encourages tax incentives to landowners to keep open space from being subdivided and important wildlife habitats from being ruinously fragmented. Across the environmental spectrum, there are environmental groups finding passionate confrontation and obstruction as the necessary means of drawing public attention to their cause. But The Nature Conservancy stands a giant apart, having earned central respect for successfully searching down practical teamed up solutions with business, government, other environmental organizations and landowners to seemingly intractable challenges which no one else was simply in a position to make large and small things happen. The bottom line is that the problems facing this living earth today have grown too large and too complex for anyone else in the private sector to fit into any one neat and tidy doctrinal box. The Nature Conservancy, with its singular scientific and organizational ability to bridge the divisions among these players, has therefore become the vital central force in preserving for the next generation and for the larger future the natural legacy of a beautiful and livable world. Our times are powerful ly served by this solid and smart outfit. The writer is founder, chairman and publisher of the 18 Times Community Newspapers.

‘Look past the PR’ on Eric Cantor I had two occasions recently when I was reminded that Eric Cantor is our representative to Congress. One was the PR photo last week in the Rappahannock News of Cantor with the county sheriff. He’s talking with the sheriff about a law enforcement grant that provides for a school resource officer. That’s fine, Mr. Cantor, but could we have money for additional teachers and teacher’s aides? Could we have some money for increasing our teacher’s salaries? Could we have some money for new textbooks, enrichment programs, music art, sports fields, a track and a gym? Maybe if our schools were adequately funded we wouldn’t need the resource officer so badly. My other encounter with Eric Cantor this week was a questionnaire from his office seeking voters’ advice on the issues. Of course the advice was limited to certain trigger issues. Three of the seven or so questions dealt with abortion and another dealt with the right to bear arms under the second amendment. All yes or no answers. Nothing too substantive. I know that abortion is a polarizing, trigger issue for many people. So is the question of gun control. These are issues that quickly divide people. I believe that dividing people is the way politicians like Mr. Cantor retain their seats in power. Unfortunately it’s not CLG COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING <$g| GROUP, INC. Grounds"' Maintenance^ 11 'A ’.v|§l - ^•Vacuum leaves fc*Mowwo ||3|| |*MulcWng 11® 3WR AND TRIMMING ( Control \ Lizing/Liming tH^iRow Clearing Patios the way that true leaders exercise power. True leaders seek dialogue and compromise. They set a vision for the future that people can unite behind. On the issue of abortion I would never want to be in the shoes of a woman who felt that abortion was the only way to resolve a crisis. I doubt that any woman approaches that choice lightly or without a great deal of lasting pain. But if we’re going to say no to abortion, not only for American women but for women in developing countries, then we have to offer solutions. We have to aggressively promote family planning, sex education, birth control and the economic improvement of women’s lives. These methods tire known to work and to lead to dramatic decreases in the number of abortions. Politicians of Cantor’s ilk stall, cut and delay funds for family planning under the pretext that some of the money could be used for abortions. For them it’s an ideological game. On the issue of the second amendment, Mr. Cantor will protect your right to bear arms. Will he do anything to decrease the 11,000 gun related deaths in the U. S. each year? Other developed countries have less than 300 gun related murders a year. Some have less than a 100. Mr. Cantor will continue to create fear in the people who believe that somebody is trying to take their hunting rifle away. But will he provide leadership on decreasing the level of violence in this country? I think not. Finally, on the issue of American support for Israel. Mr. Cantor is a darling of the pro-Israel lobby. With his help billions of dollars a year flow from us to them. The F16 fighter jets, the Apache helicopters, the rifles, the bullets used to contain and attack Palestinian refugee camps. All made in the USA Is it any wonder the Arab countries distrust us and, at times, hate us when they see Israel wielding so much power. The Palestinians lost their homes, farms, villages and cities when Israel was created. They are second class citizens in the land where they were bom.

Remembering Simba: the light of our lives By Richard Lykes Special to the Rappahannock News As dusk set over the peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains last evening, we buried the sunlight of our lives for the past seven years. Our beloved “kitty” Simba died mysteriously, but not violently, on our steps yesterday morning, stretched out as if anymore about it and went on about their work. At noon, still not having their customary visit from Simba, Harold Tingling, the master carpenter, went over to investigate and found that he had passed away. He immediately called to inform my partner at the farm, Buddy Darden. A few sleeping under his favorite bench. The carpenters who are doing the major reno- v vations to our house m ' moments later I called Buddy by chance to say hello and to announce that I was going to L round him. When the carpenters arrived at 7:30 a.m., they, saw Simba resting under his bench. They called to him take a walk through Georgetown and have lunch. I noted that his voice was husky and somber, t “Things are not all ^ right?” I asked. Dut he appeared to be sleeping, perhaps after “a big night” on the farm chasing little critters of the night. Simba usually came rushing over to greet them and the carpenters had grown very fond of our cat. But since he seemed to be snoozing, they didn’t think No, our beloved Simba is dead.” This unexpected news hit me very hard, perhaps equal to the death of a family member. I openly cried inconsolably. I finally said,”We have to return to the farm this afternoon to give Simba a proper burial.” I picked Buddy up at his office near the Capitol in about 30 FREE INSPECTION Protect your home.

Early this morning, I returned to the spot where we buried Simba under the broad eaves of my new study and in front of the palladium window by my desk. I can now look out over the fields and mountains where Simba used to range on his daily explorations. I will always remember the incredible joy and laughter that that little creature gave us over the last seven years when Simba adopted us as a six-month old kitten. The bright sun of a new day shone on the freshly turned site and the two pink roses that we so lovingly placed on Simba’s grave last night were as beautiful as when we said our prayers and told Simba goodbye. We don’t know what took Simba from us. But I wish that Simba had had — as I did four years ago —an identical twin brother to save his life. Simba was well known to many in the community. He appeared on several occasions in the Rappahannock News most recently on Feb. 20 as he was surveying the Blizzard of ‘93” from the deck of his winter wonderland. 3820 Prince William Pkwy.

After a stint as a corporal in the Swiss Army, he answered a want-ad for a butcher in a small town in Nebraska. He arrived in the United States on September 28, 1950, able to speak only French and Swiss-German, and owing $200 to his sponsors in Burwell, Neb. A year’s work as a smalltown butcher convinced him there was a better future elsewhere. After studying at Kearney State College in Nebraska, he set his sights on medicine, and managed to win acceptance at George Washington University’s medical school in Washington, D.C. He was aided by a recommendation from a New York biochemist,whose daughter he had met on his ship voyage to the U.S. He married that woman, Marian Block, and began a family and a medical practice in Washington and later suburban McLean. Rappahannock home Dr. Krebser moved to Rappahannock County in 1965, follow ing a divorce that ended a first marriage that had produced two sons, Richard and Thomas. Having profited from real estate investments in fast-grow'ing McLean, he purchased a 700-acre farm near Huntly and began raising cattle there. He built and opened the Rappahannock Medical Center in the Town of Washington, where he practiced with a partner, Dr. Jerry Martin. “We had a great relationship for 25 years,” said Dr. Martin from LTtah where he was on a biking trip in the mountains with his son. “He was always honest and fair. I had all the respect in the world for him.” A second marriage, to Jane Siwy, produced a daughter Katherine and ended in divorce. As a family physician, he was legendary for his fierce opposition to smoking and obesity. “He was very thorough, and very bhint," recalled Peter Krame/rwho was also one of his patients. “He’d say to me, Abu are too damn fat — you’ve got to lose some weight.’ He would comment on what I was eating at the Lunch Bunch, saying, “You can’t eat that!*” As Bill Dietel noted, “He was just merciless with people who smoked. He would say, “Why do you come to me? I can’t help you as long as you are smoking!’ It was the same with people who were obese." But he was also known as a compassionate caregiver. Sharon Pierce remembers his “very caring” attention to Newt Jackson, a black man with a bad heart, for whom Dr. Krebser arranged heart surgery at the University of Virginia. Henry Gorfein, another friend, recalls that “my father in his 80s came to live with us, and he wouldn’t let any other doctor touch him. Dr. Krebser had these gentle hands. I still remember that — how gentle he was with my father.” The ‘Lunch Bunch’ Over a period of a quartercentury or so, Dr. Krebser presided at meetings of his famous “Lunch Bunch,” which began with friend Doug Hume at the Flint Hill grocery store and evolved into a semi-permanent, floating debating society that met at a succession of Rappahannock eateries, most recently the Public House in Flint Hill. Discussions, which centered on “politics, religion and sex,” according to participant Butch Zindel, were lively and opinionated. There were ultra-conservatives and liberals, and Dr. Krebser, a staunch Democrat, was among the latter. *99* Owlmwcr^ TOYOTA* IN STOCK u>td Van lei* a ■ ^-- n,ill,in II, iwm—^ irjl&O^yg Brand New 2003 ®TOYOTA PRIUS Prius captures the energy produced while braking and converts it into extra power.

He loved to debate both the issues of the day and the enduring questions of the human condition.” “In Rappahannock County, it is really difficult to have as strong a feeling and opinions about the county as Doc did, and not make a lot of enemies,"remarked Peter Kramer. “He was able to do that, and minimize the enmity. Whether you agreed with him or not, it was hard to argue with his reasoning, because he studied issues so diligently. He drew respect from people who didn't even agree with him.” County administrator John McCarthy said, “Doc and I frequently disagreed over matters small, but never over the larger cause that the preservation of open space was Rappahannock’s and its citizens’ best hope for maintaining our quality of life. His passion was a living thing, impossible to master or ignore. “In a time when conviction and commitment are too frequently coats to put on or take off as expedience requires, his were woven into the fabric of his thought, word and deed. He will be missed,” said McCarthy. Judge Rayner Snead, who knew Dr. Krebser as a doctor and member of the “Lunch Bunch” said, “The citizens of this county owe him a debt of gratitude not only for his care and love for its people but for his desire and efforts to preserve the county’s beauty and environment.” , Final battle He faced his last adversary — cancer of the prostate that grew deadly — with acceptance and characteristic toughness. He was not a religious man, but as friend Alan Zuschlag sees it, “I think he had a religious attitude toward life. He lived life to the fullest. “When I visited him during his illness, I asked him if he had any regrets. He really didn’t. He had led a good life and had his affairs in order, and knew it was his time.” For a man who started with so little, he finished life with so much — respect, accomplishments, many friends, a loving wife named Fran at his bedside and a beautiful view out his picture window at the place he came to love best, Rappahannock County. “He had quite a life,” Henry Gorfein said. “He lived the American dream.” Memorial service A memorial service for Dr. Werner Krebser is planned for this summer, with a tentative date of August 2, at a location yet to be determined. His wife Fran explained that the delay is necessary to accommodate the needs of family members in Europe. Dr. Krebser is survived by his wife, Fran Moore Krebser, and three children: Richard Krebser of Flint, Mich.; Thomas Krebser of Winchester, and Katherine Krebser of Helsinki, f inland. Other survivors include two step-children, Stacey Moore Bailey of Huntly, and Brandon Scott Moore of Chantilly and Remington; two grandchildren, Payton Nichole Bailey and Stuart Nicholas Bailey of Huntley; and a sister, Alice Luzzi of Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Krebser was active in the Rappahannock County Democratic party, the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, the Cancer Society and Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation. During his time in Washington, D.C. and McLean, he was president of the Swiss Club of D.C. for 10 years. He served 21 years on the Rappahannock County Planning Commission, including a term as chairman. The family suggests that memorial donations be made to either of two tax-exempt, nonprofit funds set up in his name. They are: The Werner Krebser Conservation Fund (a land trust established under the Piedmont Environmental Council to buy and protect open land in Rappahannock County), whose address is Werner Krebser Conservation Fund, PEC, P.O. Box 460, Warrenton, Va., 20188; and the Headwaters Challenge Grant, P. O. Box 448, Washington, Va., 22747.

And when it came on Friday, June 6, more than 1,000 students, parents, volunteers and exhibitors showed up for the 7th annual day of festivities to promote the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program. DARE Day at the elementary school includes traditional field day events, like sack races and tug of war. In addition, exhibitions from organizations such as local fire departments and police units, as well as the FBI and U. S. Army have been added. A hot air balloon, train, wading pool and slip and slide were also on hand. Capt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, who serves as the DARE officer and organizer of the event, feels the result is a day which all children can enjoy and find some Tiffany Wayland, standing with her father, accepted a plaque on behalf of her late mother, Barbara Wayland, for her "continual support for the Rappahannock DARE program.” thing to participate in regardless of their interests. This is by no means an easy task, and Brown says that he has been planning the event since January. The result? Something that school officials, and even James McGivney, the regional DARE director, are quite proud of. “There’s nothing that matches it anywhere,” stated McGivney. All enjoyed sporting events and exhibits, but the more simple pleasure of time with friends and family was also high on the list of favorites. “It’s time when you get to hang out with your friends,” said fifth grader Krista Riggleson. Second grader, Seth Wayland’s favorite part of the day was “riding in the train, getting wet, and you get to see your dad.” Seth's father, Greg Wayland, was on hand as a volunteer firefighter. Many adults also recognized just how important family was to students. Volunteer Sally Letsen, spending the day with her grandson, said that her attendance was “very important to him,” and they were having “an absolute blast.” Capt. Brown is proud of this element of the event. “Parents and kids can have so much fun and do all these exciting things at the cost of a school lunch.” Everything from cotton candy and snow cones, to train rides was free. “The real credit for this day needs to go to all the volunteers, exhibitors and everyone who helps to pull this off,” said Brown. Three volunteers were recognized with plaques during the festivities. Helen Dixon was acknowledged for her ongoing contribution to the program. The second plaque went to the Rappahannock Lions Club for what Brown referred to as instant and ongoing support. A third was given to Tiffany Wayland in honor of the contributions her mother, Barbara Wayland, the late editor of the Rappahannock News, made to the organization over the years. Photos courtesy of Naomi Smoot-Kimble Children in bathing suits enjoy relief from a hot day by getting sprayed by the Washington Fire Department. This train, among the students’ favorites, was brought in from Warrenton and provided children with rides around their school. Children take time out to indulge in cotton candy. High school students honored By Linda Tarry Special to the Rappahannock News There were a lot of proud parents and students in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium last Wednesday night for the sixth annual Academic Awards Reception. Eighty students, grades eight through 12, received awards for academic excellence from their teachers. The awards go not only to those with high grade point averages, but also to students who have demonstrated a willingness to give their all as they work toward academic excellence. Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, organizes and funds the event each year. The first two awards were presented by interim school superintendent Helen Williams, who is the school administration representative to Headwaters. Mitsy Robinson received the Jeff MacNelly Art award, which is a cash award for artistic achievement. Jonathan Bankston received the Community Service award, which was given this year in honor of Peter Kreyling and his many volunteer hours spent completing the high school greenhouse.

American Indians and the Civil War / By Rob Sherwood, Special to the Rappahannock News Civil War historian and Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table President Jack Price will discuss the participation of American Indians in the Civil War, both as soldiers for the Union and the Confederacy and as hostile native Americans resisting Westward expansion on Tuesday, June 17 at 7:30p.m. The presentation is for the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table and it will be held at the Old Sperryville Bookshop on Main Street in Sperryville.

During the Civil War, when our country was at war j with itself and when one people of ' color achieved emancipation, some 20,000 American Indians fought bravely for both the Northern and the Southern causes. An Indian even wrote the articles under which Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia to U. S. Grant at Appomattox. Historian Price will discuss Indian history up to the Civil War, Indian participation in the war for both the Union and the Confederacy; and then explore the Indian wars that raged west of the Mississippi while the “white man's” war was consuming the nation to the east The army’s campaigns o^padfication” in the west led to bloody fighting with the Sioux in Minnesota, the Navajo in Arizona, and the Cheyenne and Arapaho in Colorado.

Her father is her hero, cheering her on when she is glad, and cheering her up when she is sad. A loving father sets the stage for his daughter's expectations of “the mao" in her life. Conversely, a daughter makes her Dad feel ten feet talL The admiration in her evetas she looks up at him encourages him to be all that be can be. As she grows older, they may not always agree, but even if he is a bit disappointed and she a bit disillusioned at times, Dad's love is unconditional. He always remembers that miraculous little bundle of red and wrinkled humanity that stole his heart so many yean ago. A father can also set a spiritual example for his daughter, for soon enough they will be on different roads on life’s journey. When she is young he teaches her the direction she should take when she walks that road alone. Worship together this Father’s Day. Share God's love as father and daughter, for our Heavenly Father set the first example of unconditional love. May you hive a blessed Father’! Day.

During the Civil War, the most formidable foe for the U.S. Army in the West, however, was Chief Cochise and his Chiricahua Apaches. The endurance of the Apache was legendary: he could cover 40 miles a day on foot, 75 on horseback, and was freely able to live off the land. Attacking with the stealth of ghosts, they were “terribly hard to kill,” notes the authoritative 1961 American Heritage Book of Indians. This book quotes Capt. John G. Bourke, Gen. George Crook's adjutant, as holding the Apache in great regard: “For centuries he has been preeminent over the more peaceful nations about him for courage, skill, and daring in war; cunning in deceiving and evading his enemies; ferocity in attack when skillfully planned ambuscades have led an unwary foe into his clutches; cruelty and brutality to captives; patient endurance and fortitude under the greatest Photo courtesy of American Heritage Books of Indians Major General beorge Crook s Apache Scouts, 1863. privations. . . .” In the early years of the Civil War—as garrisons were sent East to fight—these Apaches swept most of Arizona and New Mexico, which they called “Apacheria,” free of the “White-eves.” Price will also explore why so many Indians eagerly participated as active combatants in the War Between the States. He will discuss the impact that Indian participation in the war had on government Indian policy, and what impact that policy in turn had on the Indians. Native Americans had the fate of being caught up in the two great epics of the 19th century: the Civil War and the Winning of the West. The Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table was formed three years ago to encourage discussion about Civil War history, and especially to encourage research and participation in local Civil War issues and sites. Jack Price graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with a B.A. in U.S. history. He served in the U.S. Air Force with a tour of duty in Southeast Asia. He retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs after a 30-year career. His last position there was as Director of Field Human Resource Management Policy and Operations for the V.A. hospital system. For the past three years he has been the head softball coach at Culpeper County High School and was named Free Lance Star Coach of the Year in 2001. He also serves as Service Officer for American Legion Post 330, volunteer at the Museum of Culpeper History helping with its Native American programs, and as a trail overseer for the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.

The performance included live horses and mechanical lions. Connie thought it was an awesome and spiritually moving play. After the play, the group went to a local family-style restaurant where the food was served in bowls and passed around. Mrs. Rosanna Reed of Castleton was one of among 60,000 participants who ran in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Race for the Cure held in Washington, D.C., on June 7. This event was the largest of the 112 fundraising races sponsored by the Dallas-based foundation. Despite the pouring rain, dedicated fundraisers ventured out to run and walk. More than $2 million was raised for breast cancer awareness, research and testing. Mrs. Reed was on the Northern Virginia Postal Employees Team: “We Deliver the Cure.” Happy Birthday to Jacob Thomas, who turned one year old on June 3. ramily and triends celebrated at the Thomas’ Castleton residence on June 8. Have you noticed Heifalump (Sweet #17) — the 2-1/2 year old Polled Hereford heifer — lounging on her favorite spot in The Pet Tailor’s field on Scrabble Road? I have. Sweet #17 came to live with Kay and Larry Nolan sometime around Easter two years ago. She had to be moved from the Bealeton farm where she was born because she could not stay with the others to breed because of a rare genetic disease she was born with. Her leg bones are deformed and she is blind in one eye. Heifalump is a miracle. She is an adorable, yet incredibly strong-willed animal. Most cows born with this genetic disease die young. This heifer is able to get around slowly. She loves to lay in the field and eat hay. Other rescued residents, Prince (a horse) and Rio (a donkey who loves hot dog buns) and about 30 sheep, harmoniously share the field with her. Along with the others, she is there to live out the rest of her days in peace and happiness. ine forest Lrrove Baptist Church is sponsoring a School Reunion. The event is scheduled for June 14 from 10 a.m. until closing. Everyone is welcome. There will be food and entertainment. The Preacher Charles Clinedinst Band will play live gospel music. A large collection of historical photos of Castleton, Viewtown and Amissville residents will be on exhibition. Please bring any pertinent historical photos that you may have., There will be photo duplicators on-site. Other exhibits will include Rappahannock County historical memorabilia and a collection of articles pertaining to The Forest Grove School. Castleton residents are encouraged to attend.

Inspiring \ by Randy Minter COMING TO TERMS Such cliches as time heals all wounds” have very little immediate relevance to you when you find yourself immersed in grief. In the moment of loss, it may seem that no one can understand the depth of your despair. It may seem that you have only yourself. During such trying times, it helps to look outward for empathetic and loving people. If you find yourself consumed with guilt after the death of a loved one, try to remember that you are simply a human being who has tried your best to deal with what life has had to offer. Do not take yourself to task for not being able to cry. Everyone’s initial response to grief is different. Grief is a roller coaster that has many dips and valleys, and no one rides out the course of their experience in exactly the same way At the Moser Funeral Home, we urge our clients to treat themselves with patience and gentleness during this trying time-and we do our best to handle the details that can hassle you when it comes to making arrangements.
