The influence Dr. Krebser had in the lives of those who, spoke and those who listened was a tribute to this Swiss-born physician, who made Rappahannock County his home for the past 40 years. One after another, speakers shared memories and told anecdotes that frequently brought laughter to offset the silent moments overtaken by grief. Each spoke of how much "Doc" will be missed in their lives. The service, arranged by Krebser’s wife Fran, was held under a white tent on the grounds of the Flint Hill Public House where Krebser over the years lunched with his friends in the "Lunch Bunch." Krebser died June 6 at his home in Flint Hill at the age of 75 afte’r a battle with cancer. At the memorial service, speakers described a man who was not only a physician, business partner, Alan Zuschlag spoke on ‘Doc, The Mentor’ and said what he learned most from Dr. Werner Krebser was ‘how best to live my life.’ Katherine Krebser, left, daughter of the late Dr. Werner Krebser and Fran Krebser, his wife, share a moment together while greeting . guests arriving for the service. ?• *v V'>w'^v''.; " * ’?. •'•"*• ”'f ,"' •;'s ‘ A gathering of 150 friends and lamily : paid tribute to Or.

County Administrator John McCarthy spoke on how Krebser "made me better, made all of the government of Rappahannock County better."

It used to be Merrill’s Gas Station. “Werner removed the pumps, built the columns and transformed the building into a post office,” said O’Connell. Drugs: ‘out of control’ By Richard Lykejs Special to the Rappahannock News There is an “intolerable” drug problem in Rappahannock County schools and the situation is “out of control” said Steve Butler, candidate for county sheriff. Butler made his remarks to nearly 40 supporters at a Meet-theCandidate-Rally at the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday night. The rally was the first in Butler's campaign for sheriff. He is running against incumbent Sheriff Larry Sherertz. Several questions about the drug problem were raised by those See BUTLER, Page A6 66 The drug problem in the schools is ‘intolerable’ and ‘out of control.’ Steve Butler , Candidate for sheriff 66 Any suggestion that the Sheriffs Office is ambivalent about drug use in our schools is nonsense.

I Board of Supervisors urged to consper formation of a county organization for purchased land easemewts-paoc A2

to pay farmers to put land under easements By ^aomi Smoot-Kimble Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock's Board of Supervisors was urged at its Monday meeting to consider the forthation of a county organization to purchase land to put under easement. The idea was brought before the board by Gary Light, president of the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance. Light said his 150 member group, whose aim is to preserve the scenic and rural character of the county," had researched organizations in other areas with similar functions and urged the board to consider such a program for Rappahannock. Such plans, explained RCCA member Monira Rifaat, are aimed at moderate income farm families who may be targeted by developers. Under such a program, she said, the family would still own the land. Instead of donating it to the easement program though, an organization would pay the farmers to put their land under easement, generally at the cost of the land's development value. "It's important to stay ahead of the game," Rifaat said, about the program's aim to save highly vulnerable land. Light also feels it's time for an additional easement program. "There’s a need to go beyond the current status quo of voluntary easement donations," Light said. This new program would not only benefit land conservation in the county, Rifaat said, but recent research has shown land under a conservation easement results in more money for the county's schools by raising the local composite index. "The local composite index as it affects our schools has become very important to us," she said. Rappahannock would not be the first to start such a program. Light said these programs exist in other areas of Virginia such as Loudoun County and Virginia Beach The one most comparable to the county s own situation, Light said, is one recently formed in Clarke County which they have examined closely. Hampton District Supervisor Bryant Lee was concerned with the program because of fears it would require tax money to implement. "I am in favor of easements," he said. "The only thing I would like to see is if we could somehow fund it without tax dollars." Using tax money to purchase such easements, he said, could have a Robin Hood affect. He was concerned that tax money would be drawn from all citizens including low income residents, and benefiting wealthier residents. Light said however tax money would not necessarily be involved. Another concern was how this program would affect voluntary easements. In the case of Clarke County, Light explained, there are income based criteria and individuals who exceed certain limits are not considered, thus making voluntary easements still optimal for certain individuals. No final decision was made on this matter. Storage site approved At the board's evening meeting it discussed the construction of a self-storage facility on Route 211 by Brett Boyce and William Garrison. A recommendation for approval had been sent to the supervisors from the county Planning Commission at its July meeting with twelve conditions. A modified site plan was presented Monday evening, which the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved, after striking a stipulation regarding split block on the building's west wall. "I think this is what the community is looking for. It's clean business. It's not high impact, it’s just something that can bring money into the community," Lee said. During public forum Bob Lander, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, questioned the builders about possible paving methods and the location of their sidewalk. After these questions were answered he said, "The Planning Commission did a really good job handling this. I think this project is comparable to what we re trying to do in the county overall." Board member Rog&r Welch responded, "I think if RLEP didn’t have too many objections it must be a pretty good site plan. Protection for rivers Also discussed was an Exceptional River designation of waters for the Piney River and the North Fork of the Thornton, all within Shenandoah National Park's boundaries. After minimal discussion the board approved this Tier Three designation, to provide protection for the waterways. Several of the 22 people present had audibly positive responses to this decision, with one person on the front row clapping, and another uttering a quiet, "Yes!" In other discussion, the board addressed the possible sale of the former CarverPiedmont school in Culpeper. The property had been assessed, said County Administrator John McCarthy, at $400,000. This would result in $100,000 for each of the four school districts who shared ownership of the premises. Culpeper County has offered to purchase the property for roughly $30,000 per county, McCarthy said. This dramatic drop is due to $115,000 of repair costs Culpeper County officials told owners it would incur because of the buildings dilapidated state. McCarthy proposed the board deny purchase at $30,000, and instead request $71,125. This figure, he said, is considerably closer to the original $100,000 while still taking into account the said cost of renovation. This proposal was accepted by the board. Also addressed were local polling locations, some of which are not paved or handicap accessible. "There are a lot of okays on this list," McCarthy said about a list regarding the conditions of polling locations, "but they’re not all okays." Some of the items which need to be fixed over the next 90 days may not be able to happen. He explained that some polling locations are churches, and thus public money cannot be spent on projects such as paving their parking lots. In other cases, such as fire halls, he said, the locations may not want the public to pave or otherwise alter the building. "All the things we can do, we will do," he said.

Residents raise concerns over development on Route 211 By Naomi Smoot-Kimble Happahannock News Staff Writer It may have been the final meeting, but from the size of the crowd, the largest on the Planning Commission’s circuit of town meetings regarding revisions to the county’s Comprehensive Plan, it was obvious that citizens still had many concerns to address. Most of the 50 residents attending last Thursday’s meeting in Flint Hill used the opportunity to speak out on a wide variety of issues including commercial development, village revitalization, leadership problems, traffic concerns in Flint Hill and future uses of the Aileen Plant. Now that the public forums are over, the next step in the process of reviewing the Comprehensive Plan usually is the creation of a series of draft chapters for the plan which the commission will evaluate, according to County Administrator John McCarthy These chapters will incorporate concerns addressed at the public hearings and, in several months, when a document has been created that the commission agrees upon. another hearing will be held. The first concern at last week’s public forum was development. a fear which many in the audience shared. “We’re only about 20.000 people away from having a decision to make, and that is where to put a Wal Mart at in Rappahannock County," said Flint Hill resident, Phil Irwin Irwin was one of several residents who were concerned by the development currently occurring along .211 despite the Comprehensive Plan’s stance that such growth should take place in and around the villages. Many fear this emerging commercial strip, where the new bank is under construction and the Co-Op and schools already exist, is inviting to such ventures as McDonald’s and other conglomerates. Planning Commission Chairman Tom Junk assured residents that it is highly unlikely Wal Mart will ever break ground in Rappahannock. McDonald’s on the other hand, seems harder to avoid. Former zoning administrator, Dave Konick said that it *6 Each of these villages could charter their own future. The way to do this is leadership. So far I think you people have fallen down. Don Audette Rappahannock News Photo Richard Lykes COUNTY’S FUTURE: Membe Planning Commission left to ric Brown, chairman Tom Junk, A listen to residents’ concerns fo at the Flint Hill Fire Hall last Tf would be impossible to deny McDonald’s the right to build. “A restaurant is a restaurant even if one serves cheeseburgers and the other has fancy French cuisine,” he said. Attempting to allow one, he said, and denying the other would be illegal. ‘ Junk assured citizens such a structure would be in keeping with the architecture around it though and not be a “cookie cutter McDonald’s.” In other discussion, Sperryville resident Jim Gannon addressed the issue of village revitalization. He urged people to look at the vib lage and see where its pulse was. He used Flint Hill as an example, noting both the new Griffin’s Tavern and a home just down the street with its windows bordered up. He urged residents to participate in the renovation of historic buildings, and explained that as much as 45 Garden Club members win awards The Rappahannock County Garden Club met July 16 at the Gray Ghost Winery in Amissville.

County resident Don Audette also urged villages to breathe new life into their neighborhoods, and also find a unique way to market themselves to the outside world. As examples, he suggested Amissville could build a health spa to draw in Culpeper’s residents while Sperryville, already a gateway to the Shenandoah National Park, could offer tourists a variety of natural foods. Gannon suggested initiatives to move older citizens into the villages as another way to reinvigorate them. This, he said, would put elderly residents closer to emergency services. He also spoke about the possibility of creating a community designed especially for Rappahannock’s aging population as seen in more urban areas^ie said this is important for the county since the elderly find taking care of large homes and acreage difficult |j Apples, Peaches, § Nectarines, Plums JENKINS ORCHARDS , Quality Fruit and make up a large portion of Rappahannock’s population. Audette said no matter what the path, it is important for existing communities to decide what is right for them and take action. “Each of these villages could charter their own future," he said, "The way to do this is leadership.” He felt the Planning Commission had failed in the area of leadership, "So far I think you people have fallen down," he said to them. County resident Bill Dietel was also concerned about the board's past actions. “To make decisions the old way is no longer acceptable." he said, urging members to think about the consequences each of their choices has for the future. Members of the audience clapped after his remarks. In other discussion, resident Bob Dennis spoke about his desire to create a Rural Historic District near Flint Hill by bringing together several easement properties. Dennis said he had addressed this issue at the Board of Supervisors' meeting last month. A subcommittee had been created at an earlier public forum in Washington to look into this issue. Also discussed were traffic issues in Flint Hill. Planning Commission member A1 Henry said many things may be considered in an attempt to slow traffic traveling on Route 522, including modified speed bumps, slower speed limits, and perhaps a median strip. Planning Commission representative Jennifer Mathews of Flint Hill felt the problem of town traffic could be greatlyreduced simply by slowing it down. She said many large trucks would likely choose an alternate route if they knew 522 had slow’er speed limits. She said these trucks, hauling things to nearbycities. are one of the town’s main traffic problems. “I know they have issues in Little Washington," she said, “but they don't have logging trucks coming through." The board also addressed the town's industrial area, the former Aileen plant. Board of Supervisors representative Roger Welch said the former factory will be downgraded from industrial zoning when it is sold. The acreage behind the buildings will be downgraded to. agricultural use. while the structure itself will become commercial. 66 We’re only about 20,000 people away from having a decision to make, and that is where to put a Wal-Mart at in Rappahannock County.

Werner taught me to embrace life with gusto. He never tired of telling me, right up to the end of his life: we only have one chance at this game—when it’s over, it’s over—so make the most of it. Don’t deny the hereand-now in exchange for vague promises of the hereafter. Werner also taught me the value of having the courage of my own convictions. If you believe in something strongly, if you are convinced that something is the “right thing to do,” follow that path. Do not be dissuaded by the unpopularity of your views, or the potential for making enemies. Life is not a popularity contest, it is a struggle to be true to certain moral precepts—to do good. Be tolerant of he views of others—try to understand their point of view, but above all, “do the right thing.” Werner set a high standard for me to live up to. I’ll give it my best, but his is a tough act to follow. In the six short years that I knew him, I cherished his friendship and guidance and will miss him greatly.” Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News welcomes Letters to the Editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects.

Turner provides a smiling face for all who travel this road as he sits daily and waves at passing traffic. Letters Jack Atkins is ‘the perfect candidate’ When'I recently heard that Jack Atkins was once again running for Board of Supervisors for the Jackson District, I felt obligated to write in to explain why he is the pel feet candidate. Jack has many accomplishments. He is retired from the Virginia Department of Transportation after 34 years with it. He is a lifetime member of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department as well as the president of the department. He is also a member of the Amissville Baptist Church. He along with his sibling owns several acres in the Jackson district that are farmed, as well as rental properties. I should also mention the countless, practically slaving hours that Jack has spent working on the farm. Jack also has two daughters, and one grandson. He has many ideas and is genuinely concerned about the people in the Jackson District as well as Rappahannock County. I am sure that some citizens of the Jackson District might recall the last time he ran for the position he spoke of some of the ideas that he felt would benefit the county. One idea in particular was bringing some sort of industry to the county that would provide jobs and help keep the younger generation in the county. I think it is great that he is concerned about keeping the younger generation in the county, but find it a bit odd that neither of his children reside in the county. I feel that to serve on the Board of Supervisors, you must have time to focus on the needs of the district you are representing, and that is something Mr. Atkins has plenty of. He is retired and single. There is much more that could be said about this candidate, but one thing that I personally recall him telling me that stands out. “The truth always comes out in the wash.” Patty Pelkey Orange, Va. ‘Analysis might broaden public interest’ I suspect many Rappahannock County residents were as dismayed as I was to learn of the recent Planning Commission approval for the construction of a self-storage facility on Route 211. This follows yet another controversial approval of the Rappahannock National Bank project just last year. These projects were preceded by the requisite “dry” formal legal notices found in this newspaper each week. In the future, however, the Rappahannock News could perform an invaluable community service by featuring plans, pictures and the pros and cons of such projects in advance of the public approval process. 1 believe that this kind of analysis might broaden public interest in major project approvals and serve to limit poor development schemes. Jeffrey E. Knight Washington Legislators look to executive branch to secure higher retirement pay Virginians who serve in the General Assembly are put into the state retirement system but legislators are paid only about $18,000 a year unless they are in leadership positions and get extra compensation. Thus even a legislator who serves 20 years or so would get relatively little in retirement pay after his or her tenure since the amount of pay depends not only on years served but a combination of yearly high salaries. This makes it attractive, therefore, for legislators to look to the executive branch of state Old ^ Dominion Politics John Goolrick government as a means of securing higher retirement pay when the time arrives. Just recently Del. Jack Rollison, a Prince William Republican defeated in a primary election, resigned his position to take a $95,000 a year job as an adviser to the Virginia Department of Transportation on urban transportation issues. Rollison, who had been chairman of the House Transportation Committee, is fully qualified and a leading expert on the state’s transportation problems. He was named to the new post by Gov. Mark Warner. Though Rollison is a Republican and Warner a Democrat, there is nothing unusual about the appointment and it will not be an issue in any state legislative race this fall. When Jim Gilmore was elected governor, he named Democrat State Sen. Charles Waddell, who had been chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, to a high post in VDOT. Gilmore also made Del. David Brickley, a Prince William Democrat, head of a state agency dealing with conservation. Republicans did not complain about the arrangements since they picked up the seats that had previously been in Democrats’ hands. In all these cases, the people appointed or elected to the various jobs were qualified, though some argue that the appointments of Brickley, Waddell and now Rollison seem like something out of the Boston politics1 playbook. As I have turned, this will be a non-issue in the campaign. What is shaping up, however, as a big picture issue is the Governor’s decision not to talk in depth about his feelings on pending revision of the state’s tax code. Some Republicans believe that Warner has tax increases in mind and that this is why he does not want the word to get out and become an election issue. It appears to this observer that any proposed tax increase by anyone is simply not going to make it successfully through the 2004 session of the legislature so long as Republicans maintain solid control of the House. When I encountered one Republican delegate recently and asked him what he thought the fate of any proposed tax increase would be in the House, he simply answered “DOA.” John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Jo Ann Davis. Opinions expressed are his own. Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 53 YEARS AGO August 10, 1950 Monday, around 4 o’clock, the spray plane made a forced landing in the field of Bossy Williams while the cornfields of Flip Chaddell at the Black Rock Valley near Chester Gap were being sprayed. Cornfields in the vicinity of Flint Hill and Washington were sprayed this week by the airplane spray method with DDT to kill the Japanese beetles in the com. It is estimated that 300 to 400 acres of com were sprayed by this method. Charles William Dodson, William Jackson Brown, James Miller Thornton, James Minor Settle, Jn, and Coolidge Gilcrest Groves were the five men from Rappahannock County who went to Fort Myer for examination on July 17. This was the first selective service call from the county. The Julia Haygood Missionary Circle of Flint Hill Baptist Church met Friday at the home of Mrs. John S. Browning in Flint Hill. The program topic was, “Are You On A Diet?’ with Mrs. Hazel Corbin as chairman. James W. Fletcher of Sperryville was elected vice-president of Piedmont District at a meeting of the Virginia Bar Association, held at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, August 4 and 5. 25 YEARS AGO August 10,1978 The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department may yet get a third full-time deputy. Sheriff W. A- Buntin repeatedly has asked for another deputy, but the county supervisors consistently have declined to provide the necessary funding. Now the deputy’s salary may be financed through the Virginia Alcohol Safety Program instead of with money from local taxes and from the State Compensation Board. 'J’he Rappahannock Supervisors may decide to go with a three-times-a-week trash pickup for a month’s trial at Huntly and Amissville. Supervisor chairman Peter Luke reported that a third pick-up would cost the county around $800 per month but didn’t elaborate on whether this was for all or only some of the dumpster sites. Girl Scouts Wendy Helmer, Lynn Jones and Shanon Streagle packed the car last Wednesday for the drive to Roanoke where they took a bus for the west with a group of other scouts. The girls will spend about three weeks camping and backpacking. They will sightsee in Chicago, visit Mr. Rushmore and Yellowstone, camp in the Grand Tfetons and take a white water raft trip down the Snake River and camp. 10 YEARS AGO August 11, 1993 The newly formed Skyline Travel Football League gets underway Saturday with a weigh-in and actual practice starts Monday for the Rappahannock Panthers team. “We have about 20 kids signed up,” said coach Tony Hoffman, Viewtown. The league is for boys and girls 12 to 15 years old. The league is made up of four teams with the Rappahannock squad competing against the Fauquier Southern Storms, the Culpeper Fighting Bulls and the Warrenton Running Rebels. On Saturday, August 7 eight members of St. Peter’s Catholic Church begin their pilgrimage to Denver, Colorado to participate in World Youth Day *93. The group led by Pamela Lynn, includes in addition to Marcy and Katie Lynn, Andy Hibl, Lisa Hibl, Elizabeth Nugent, Mary Dee Ellis and Welby Lynn, The Rappahannock school system may be facing a crisis in providing fuel for the bus fleet for the coming school year. Quarles Petroleum, which has been providing gasoline and diesel fuel at the bus shop, did not submit a bid for the coming year. The company owns the two underground gasoline tanks and one above ground diesel tank. School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board Tuesday night that he believes Quarles would be winning to give the tanks to the school system instead of removing them.

Time to make our villages ‘more vital places’ for residential, commercial purposes The County’s current Comprehensive Plan encourages development in and around the villages of Rappahannock County. While that has been the stated goal of the county, little has been done to actively encourage such village development. Indeed, with the recent growth of commercial development along Route 211, it appears the opposite may be happening: a flight of businesses from the villages and the Town to the highway strip, which is the defining characteristic of urban sprawl. It is time for the county’s leaders and its citizens to consider ways to make our villages more vital places for both residential and commercial purposes. The historic villages of Rappahannock County are among its unique assets. The villages retain a quaint, nostalgic character that appeals to both visitors and local citizens. They are anchored by many historic buildings worthy of preservation—if an economic use for them can be found, either as residences or business places. As a 1999 report of the National Trust for Historic Preservation stated: “Historic buildings cannot be saved unless they have users. They will not have users unless the areas in which they are located have an economic pulse.” How strong is the economic pulse in our villages? In some cases, it appears to be weak. Flint Hill has empty storefronts and boarded up houses. In and around The Forum r“ Sperryville, it is not hard to find deteriorating buildings that once housed people or businesses. There are some promising signs of life, such as revitalization of Main Street in Sperryville, and thriving restaurants in Flint Hill. These signs of economic pulse should be encouraged by county policy. Wouldn’t we rather have new businesses in and around the villages and the Town, rather than strung out along our highways? One way to encourage revitalization and adaptive re-use of historic buildings in our villages is through economic incentives. While the County is in no position to offer these directly, that is not necessary, for such incentives already exist in state and Federal laws regarding historic preservation. The county could take action to make these incentives available to more areas of the county by encouraging more historic districts. Federal and state tax laws contain tax credits for renovation of historic buildings that can recapture as much as 45 percent of the costs of renovating such structures for commercial use. But these credits are available only to structures on the National and state registers of historic places, or to eligible structures within officially designated Historic Districts. As an example, if the Sperryville Historic District (now encompassing primarily buildings on Main Street and Water Street) were to be expanded to include old buildings along Route 211 west of Main Street, there would be a powerful incentive for owners or investors to renovate old buildings in the expanded district. If Flint Hill were to become a registered historic district, the same incentives would become available there. A second way to revitalize our villages is to repopulate them. People give a community life. Empty buildings do not. The county has been successful in steering new residents to 25-plus acre estates in the countryside. The result has been a growing number of second homes, of increasing cost and grandeur, secluded down private country lanes. These make wonderful private retreats; they do not make good communities. The county has not been The county has not been successful— indeed, it has not tried—to make the villages more attractive places in which to live and do business. successful—indeed, it has not tried—to make the villages more attractive places in which to live and do business. With the demographic changes now at work, and certain to intensify in the future, it is time to think seriously about making our villages attractive places for an aging population. Census statistics show that Rappahannock has a large and growing population of senior citizens. It is also attracting a growing number of aging Baby Boomers who will join the senior population in a few years. We can expect more and more retirees in the county in the decade or two ahead. Where will they live? A country retreat with a big house and 25 acres to care 66 Historic buildings cannot be saved unless they have users. They will not have users unless the areas in which they are located have an economic pulse. National Trust for Historic Preservation Report for may be attractive at age 50, but it can become less so as age takes its toll. Many aging county residents may want to stay in the county, but to downsize their homes and the burden and cost of maintenance. At present, there are relatively few alternatives for those who might seek a smaller home, close to shops and services, medical care and emergency services. Communities designed specifically for the aging population are springing up all across the country. (In the Washington Metro area, such age-restricted developments as Falls Run near Fredericksburg, Dunbarton and Heritage Hunt in Prince William County, are testimony to the trend.) While such large-scale developments seem inappropriate for Rappahannock County, a home-grown, small-scale version of this concept would provide seniors in the county with new opportunities for “aging in place” in beautiful Rappahannock. Villages such as Flint Hill, Sperryville or Amissville would be appropriate settings for medium-density neighborhoods designed specifically for senior citizens. Smaller homes on smaller lots, in a pedestrian-friendly atmo sphere close to village shops, restaurants, and services, would attract those seniors who no longer wish to care for the big home and acreage in the rural areas. They would bring new vitality to the villages, both in economic terms and in the life of the community, its churches, and civic organizations. To the extent Rappahannock County attracts and holds a population of retirees, it will place less pressure on its school system than would increasing the number of families with young children. To the extent that vital villages grow new businesses for local users and tourists, there will be a growing commercial tax base helping to share the burden of real estate taxes on homeowners. By creating new options for retirees in our community, we can preserve our historic villages and instill them with new vitality, while providing secure and affordable housing and accessible services for all those lucky enough to spend the “golden years” in this beautiful place. The Planning Commission can help turn this vision into reality by incorporating such concepts in our Comprehensive Plan, and beginning serious study of zoning and other ordinances that would pave the way for a new era for our villages and Town. Jim Gannon presented this analysis to the Planning Commission at its July 31 public forum on the future of Rappahannock County. Easement enhanced sale of property By Robert T. Dennis Special to the Rappahannock News In consecutive deeds recorded on July 25, the first Rappahannock County conservation easement of 2003 was granted to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the newly protected property was then transferred to new owners. The deed of sale specifically referenced the easement gift indicating that the new owners understood and fully supported provisions of the easement. The property was donated by Margaret Thomas and Nancy Wicker, and consisted of 25 acres along the Thornton River. The sisters, from New York and Massachusetts respectively, donated the land in remembrance of their late mother, an avid nature lover. The property is especially important to the VOF because it is immediately opposite a 52acre parcel which FrancoisMarie and Linda Patomi donated in 2002. Together, these two easements protect both banks of a sweeping bend in the Thornton River. The new easement is written as a water resources preservation document and prohibits future subdivision of the land. It does, however, permit renovation or replacement of existing structures but limits the structures on the premises to a cumulative total of6,000 square feet at ground level. After the easement had been assured the property was sold to Laurie Emrich and Gael Murphy of Washington, D.C. This easement, which was followed so closely by a sale, refutes two common myths. First, while the VOF prefers lots with a minimum of 50 acres, it will consider taking smaller lots if they have specific conservation value and it has done so on parcels as small as eight acres. In this case, since the easement parcel was adjacent to the pre-existing Patomi easement, and ensured further protection of the Thornton River, a smaller acreage was accepted. Secondly, easement-protected property is erroneously assumed to be less easily sold. In this case the sale, which was subject to the easement donation by the seller, took place almost immediately and at a price of $380,000. Easement protection in Rappahannock now totals 14,612 acres, 10.7 percent of all privately owned land in the county. Wicker says easements in the county, and Virginia at large, are especially nice because they are free of charge to the donor. She explained that in many other states private agencies are in charge of easements so it is harder to find one interested in a particular property. Furthermore, she said, unlike the VOF, these agencies do not receive state funding and so are able to charge fees averaging between $5,000 and $15,000. With regard to sizes of easements, the smallest easementprotected property in Rappahannock is a one-half acre lot in the Town of Washington. But that easement is held by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, in connection with the Town’s historic district and not by VOF. If Rappahannock winds up with new village and “rural” historic districts in response to a recent historic survey, that may justify new small-tract easements accepted by both VOF and DHR.

Army National Guard to hold open house The Virginia Army National Guard will hold a community open house on Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some of the activities planned at the headquarters at 692 Waterloo Road in Warrenton include a UH60 (Blackhawk) helicopter on dis play, local fire and rescue squads as well as members of the State Police/ Sheriff’s Department, a POW/MLA motorcycle ride and a car wash service from the local high school. A raffle drive will be held to benefit the Family Support Group (families of local soldiers who serve in the Virginia National Guard). The group is seeking support from the community in the form of a donation to support its troops. For more information call Andrew Benoit at (540) 3476360.

Rappahannock News Photo/Jan Clatterbuck TRAIL OF DEBRIS: When its brakes gave out, a flatbed truck flipped over spilling out the sheetrock it was carrying during an accident in Chester Gap last Friday. Accident From Page A1 his brakes several times and realized they were not working. He said he decided to hit a guard rail rather than a house. The truck flipped over on its side in the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Morris. Aaron Morris, their teenage son, said he heard the truck sliding down a guard rail while he was picking squash in the backyard garden. When he turned to look, the truck had flipped over and two men were crawling out. He ran into the house and dialed 911. His parents were not home at the time. Both the driver and passenger of the truck were checked at the scene by Richard Fogle, who is the EMS Captain, and Chuck Baker of Company 9 of Chester Gap Volunteer Rescue Squad. The only injuries sustained was a bump on Vermillion’s head and cuts on Event’s right leg. According to Chester Gap Fire Department Chief Glen Murphy, both parties refused transport to the hospital. Property damage sustained by the Morris’ was the demoli tion of a 16 x 16 wire dog pen and wooden dog house. The dog, Oliver, received a few cuts on its front legs, but other than that, is in good condition. Don Johnson, motor carrier unit inspector, inspected the vehicle and found the faulty brakes.Vermillion was charged by Trooper Corbin with equipment violation due to faulty breaks. Vermillion said that all trucks were well maintained and that this particular truck was due for inspection this month. Morris said, “I want to give the Lord the praise that no one was seriously injured.” Butler From Page A1 in the audience who gave accounts of their childrens’ reported exposure to drugs in school. One woman said her nineyear-old daughter told her nearly everyone on her school bus was aware of how to get drugs. “Most people just hope that the problem will go away, but it won’t,”said Butler. “It’ll only grow larger.” Stressing that he was “not in favor of creating drug records for our young people,” Butler conceded that the problem was complex and there were no easy answers. He suggested that what is necessary is to “go to the top” and locate the drug dealers who are supplying young people with drugs. “A first place to start is law enforcement working with parents, students, teachers and school administrators,” he said. “What is important is to develop a trusting relationship with the students, their parents and the Sheriff’s Office so that law enforcement can do its job,” Butler said. In the final analysis, “no drugs” is the responsibility of the community, the whole com munity, he said. “And the Sheriff’s Office, working closer with the community can make a difference,” he said. Asked later to comment on the concern of Butler and his supporters that the drug problem is out of control in the schools, Sheriff Larry Sherertz, said: “Any suggestion that the Sheriff’s Office is ambivalent about drug use in our schools is nonsense. “We are, and will continue to be, pro-active on the issue of dangers to our students at school, including drugs and violence.” Sherertz said that his department has “zero tolerance” for drugs in the schools and to suggest otherwise overlooks the responsibilities and successes of School Resource Officer Capt. Jeff Brown. Sherertz said he sees the sheriff’s responsibility in this area as being two-fold: to find the most effective way to educate children, such as through the DARE program, and to carry out interdiction efforts and random searches. He said he and his deputies “do talk to parents and students and we try to impress on them that the consequences of drug use is serious.” At his rally, Butler also rec ommended that the sheriff’s department rely more often on the technical expertise of the Virginia State Police whenever it is needed. He also emphasized a key position of his campaign, seconded by a number of supporters, that “a minute means a lot to citizens. When the Sheriff’s Department is not responding •promptly to a citizen’s complaint, it is not being responsive to the community.” Considerable discussion also developed around the need for greater “presence” of deputies on the rural back roads of the county. There was a general feeling that speeding and careless drivers on these generally narrower and winding roads often put people in danger. Some members of the audience felt that that the Sheriff’s Office was neglecting the secondary roads for the greater opportunity to catch speeders on the much safer Route 211. A number of residents stated that they rarely ever see deputies on their neighborhood roads. Other issues discussed by the candidate and his supporters included the problem of “drunk driving,” which Butler said “will not be tolerated” if he is elected sheriff. “Drunk drivers will be locked up,” he said. Junior Cotillion receives national recognition The director of the National League of Junior Cotillions for the CulpeperRappahannock region recently received awards on behalf of the chapter from the national cotillion organization. “We are proud to have Mrs. Gail Turnbull representing this very valuable program to our nation’s youth,” says Anne Winters, director of the National League of Junior Cotillions (NLJC). “Not every director receives an award. Only the most outstanding directors were chosen.” The National League of Junior Cotillions is a program of formal etiquette, character education, patriotism and social dance training for middle and junior high school youth currently in over 30 states and over 300 chapters nationwide. Founded nationally in 1979 and locally in 1989, registration is currently open for memberships for gentlemen and ladies entering the sixth, seventh and eighth grade this fall. The program received an award for the best National Courtesy Week for its efforts in focusing the entire communi ty— its schools, businesses, churches and public agencies—on the importance of courtesy in everyday life. National Courtesy Week is the second week in February. The NLJC chapter director also received the Best Public Relations Award for leadership in developing hew activities within its community. The chapter has provided public relations services including a formal Flag Retirement Ceremony on the ‘225th anniversary of Old Glory for the Amissville U.S. Post Office. Walter Day, one of Dr. Krebser’s Lunch Bunch friends, recited ‘Crossing the Bar’ by English poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson at the service. Bill Dietel, left and Dr. Jerry Martin, right, greet each other at the memorial service. Dietel officiated at the service; Dr. Martin and Dr. Krebser had been in medical practice together. Sergio Meuller plays the Swiss Alp Horn as the service begins. Krebser From Page A1 remembered him as a staunch Democrat. "I think Doc was born a Democrat." Peter Kramer, cabinet maker and friend for 30 years, shared memories of Lunch Bunch gatherings and in a moving ending said, "Keep the table set, Buddy, we ll all be there soon." t The Hon. Douglas Ginsberg spoke of "Doc, The Friend" and said Krebser was "the first citizen of Rappahannock County." Amissville farmer Alan Zuschlag spoke on "Doc, The Mentor" (see excerpts on Page A4). The Hon. Rayner Snead spoke on "The Tie That Binds" explaining he performed the marriage ceremony for Krebser when he married Fran. Bill Dietel, who officiated at the service, said Krebser "taught us about the human frailties of heath and mind. . .and challenged us to be kinder to one another. He was above all an honest man. ..."

• Neighbors/B4 • Classifieds/B5, B6, B7 • Obituaries/B8 • Real Estate/B8 August 7, 2003 www.timescommunity.com Wake up to SperryviUe’s cfffee roasters By Naomi Smoot-Kjmble Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s the first thing most people reach for in the morning. It’s what gets them going even when that voice inside their heads begs for another hour of sleep. It’s coffee, something that many enjoy, and which has become a passion for Jesse, Kenny and Maggie Rogers of Central Coffee Roasters in Sperryville. “All of us love coffee,” said Maggie Rogers about her family and their business which opened in Sperryville four years ago. Their coffee has become popular around Rappahannock County and elsewhere. The Rogers supply many local bed and breakfasts and inns, delis, restaurants and markets as well as establishments out of state and in Canada. They sell to many private shoppers also, who stop in for coffee by the bag, as well as by the cup. “There are lots of people who just swing by and grab a cup. That’s why we have a cup for a dollar. We don’t think coffee should cost more than a dollar,” said Jesse, the Rogers’ 25-yearold son, who helps his family roast beans. Maggie said that while they do offer coffee by the cup their main priority is roasting. “We’re not really a coffee shop,” she said, “We’re a sacks of their bounty on their backs for miles. Maggie smiles as she discusses the intricacies of each variety of coffee bean, holding them in her hand and noting the variations and uniqueness of each. As she speaks, the aroma of coffee roasting is in the air and frequently visitors remark how “it really smells good in here,” she says. Tb her the smell seems more like oatmeal cookies. Maggie knows the history of coffee, explaining that the first coffee bean was found in Ethiopia. When monks visited the area and saw the power and caffeine these beans held they took them along on their travels to Yemen. She said the story of the coffee bean is filled with murder and adventure. “I get caught up in the romanticism of the growing of the beans. We all have our fun stuff, that’s why we’re in the business, to have fun.” She feels her extensive knowledge of her family’s product should be expected of her and all other coffee stores. “It’s just like anything, you need to know the things about the materials you use.” The family’s knowledge of the coffee industry began to grow after their eldest son Thicker left for college. roasier. But in addition to preparing the beans the family has larger aims. “We try to educate people and have them try new coffees,” Kenny said. In an attempt to do so, the family has set up a tasting bar where shoppers can try a variety of their coffees for free. Among the most attending worked at coffee shops while William and Mary in popular varieties available for purchase are Costa Rican and Guatemalan coffees, according to the family. They also have two recent additions, a variety from Africa and an Organic Peru Penachi. When talking with the Rogers their love and knowledge of coffee becomes obvious. Son Jesse excitedly talks about the process of growing and caring for the beans, of people planting and harvesting them by hand and cariying huge Williamsburg and that when he and the family went to visit him they often spent time in the shops. Enjoying this first taste of the coffee industry and growing tired of his job in construction, Kenny and his wife began plans for a coffee store in Culpeper. When their plans for this location did not proceed as anticipated the Rogers decided to find a location in Rappahannock.

Nutrient planning is ‘great benefit’ to Rappahannock county land-users Nutrient management planning is an activity that helps agricultural land-users identify how major fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium should be applied for crop production. Although the technology is not limited to agricultural lands, and can be effectively applied to suburban lawns and gardens, most nutrient management planning in the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District is currently for agricultural use. The nutrient recommendations prescribed for crops in a typical nutrient management plan are based primarily on soil tests and expected crop yields. The two main goals of nutrient management planning are to ensure that the proper rate, timing of application, and placement of nutrients will be achieved and that water quality impacts from fertilizer applications are minimized. Plans that are developed in accordance with Virginia’s Nutrient Management Pro gram Standards and Criteria guidance usually contain sitespecific information that helps the land-user make important land management decisions. A plan contains soils maps, aerial photography, nutrient recommendations for given crops, soil productivity information, crop yield information, environmentally sensitive site delineations, as well as agronomically sound nutrient management practices. This type of planning came about in large part due to the rising cost of commercial fertilizer and the need to reduce excessive amounts of nutrients entering the Chesapeake Bay. Land-users operating within the Rappahannock River Watershed (land that drains into the Rappahannock River) and across the Commonwealth are currently facing an elevation in operational costs due in large part to the increase in fertilizer costs. This has required landusers to apply fertilizer in the most efficient manner possi ble. This is where nutrient management planning can be of great benefit to the individual farmer. Advance planning can help land-users purchase and apply the exact amount of fertilizer that their crops can uptake. Any additional fertilizer applied beyond that point would result in a monetary loss to the land-user, a potential nutrient loss to the environment (having negative effects on water quality), and would most likely generate no change in improved crop yield. Excess nutrients carried by stormwater runoff into local tributaries are a major source of nonpoint source pollution in the Rappahannock River. One impact of excess nutrients in the Rappahannock River has been the outbreak of algae blooms in the Chesapeake Bay. Algae blooms block sunlight needed by submerged aquatic plant communities. As a result, the fish and shellfish communities in the Bay that depend on these aquatic plants for habitat are in serious decline. When an algae bloom dies off and decomposes, the decomposition process depletes the supply of oxygen in the water, a further degradation of habitat for of fish and other creatures living in the Bay. Currently in the Rappahannock River Watershed, many land-users are operating under the guidance of a nutrient management plan. Nutrient management planning is a service offered throughout the watershed by several public and private sources. The Commonwealth has been successful in the past in realizing conservation oriented goals through the use of voluntary-based approaches. Fortunately, this activity is still a voluntary opportunity, and not a regulatory requirement for Virginia land-users. Persons interested in developing a nutrient management plan for their operation may contact the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District at (540) 825-8591. Pregnancy Center in Culpeper serves 1,000 clients By Lindy Dimeo Special to the Rappahannock News , The Pregnancy Centers of Central Virginia’s Culpeper office recently celebrated a milestone in its outreach to the community. After five years of service it served its 1000th client. “Jessica”, a single part-time college student, came into the center wanting to confirm her pregnancy and needing encouragement during a very uncertain time. Her future with her boyfriend was unsure and she wanted guidance in preparing for her pregnancy. It was quite an encouragement for her when she was showered with special gifts reserved for the 1000th client. Because of generous donations from the community, the center was able to give her several brand new layette items, toys and books on pregnancy and infancy. She also received a beautiful picture frame for herself as well as gift certificates donated by Designer’s Choice, Meadowbrook Subway, Dairy Queen and Dominion Skating Center. After talking with her counselor, Jessica agreed to participate in the center’s Building Blocks program, which helps young mothers become equipped for parenting and through which they can receive maternity and baby items. She was able to leave with a lighter heart than when she entered. The Pregnancy Centers of Central Virginia is committed to hope for women, men and their families facipg issues of unintended pregnancy, help through free and confidential peercounseling, education and medical services, health by empowering individuals in making the choice for abstinence outside of marriage, and healing through physical, emotional and spiritual support.

Yet, God’s way does not conform to mankind’s impatience; rather God has His own timetable that cannot be rushed. We read in 2 Peter 3:8-9... “But do not forget one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness..." The nineteenth century master theologian and pulpit speaker, \ Charles Spurgeon, advised... “If [your] vision tarry, wait for it to come, and the appointed time shall surely bring it." Go about your daily business, trusting in God’s Word, for answers to your prayers may come to you in ways you may not understand. Later you realize... “I know now why God gave me that particular situation"; or “My decision was guided by the Lord”. Matthew 6:8 assures us, ..: “for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." Learn more about God’s answers to prayer as you worship this week. Why not do it God’s way?

The whole family Inspiring Tfimtgfite by Randy Minter NAVIGATING THROUGH GRIEF While some may view grief as a short period of pain or sadness in reaction to loss, it is really an emotional process that allows a person to let a loved one go and continue with his or her life in a healthy way. Although grieving is painful, it is important that people be allowed to express their grief. There are several phases, or emotional states, through which grieving individuals must progress. The first involves shock or numbness. This phase is often followed by a period of emotional upheaval, which can involve feelings of anger, loneliness, disbelief, cm- denial. The final phase of grief is the one in which people find a way to come to terms with the loss. When put in a list like this, it can sound as if grief is some sort of logical progression, when, in fact, it is anything but. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we have all sorts of resources for those who are suffering from loss. We understand that each person grieves in his or her own way. Call 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton) 24-hours a day. "There is nothing the body suffers which the soul may not profit by." George Meredith is still hoping she will return unharmed. If you have seen her or have any information about her whereabouts, please call Carol at 987-3330.

George V. Devers Farmer in county George Varner Devers, 85, of Front Royal died Aug. 3 in the Southerlands Nursing Home in Front Royal. Mr. Devers was bom June 6, 1918 in Flint Hill to the late William Randolph and the late Ida Mae Vamer Devers. He was a farmer in Rappahannock County and retired from Avtex in 1981 after 25 years of employment. He was a member of the Flint Hill United Methodist Church. Mr. Devers is survived by his wife, Virginia Marchi Devers and a number of nieces and nephews. A funeral service was held Aug. 5 at Maddox Funeral Home with Rev. William F. Ruehl officiating. Interment followed in Prospect Hill Cemetery in Front Royal. Memorial contributions may be made to the Ladies of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 123 West Main St., Front Royal, Va. 22630 or to Blue Ridge Hospice, 333 W. Cork St., Winchester, Va. 22601. Omer Lee Hirst Lawmaker, investor Former state Sen. Omer Lee Hirst of McLean died following an apparent heart attack Tuesday, July 29, as he was riding in a car with his caretaker on Dolley Madison Boulevard (Route 123). He was 89. Fairfax County Police Officer Jacqi Smith said Hirst’s caretaker called 911 at about 3:25 p.m. Police and rescue units responded, and the senator was taken to Arlington Hospital where he was pronounced dead. A lifelong resident of Fairfax County, he was bom in Annandale. He was a descendant of the family of George Mason, author of the Declaration of Rights that became part of the U.S. Constitution. As a legislator, he was the first member of the General Assembly to announce his opposition to the “Massive Resistance” policy that threatened to close public schools after integration was ordered. In 1950, he departed from the “pay-as-you-go” policy and led an unprecedented county drive in support of a $10 million school construction bond issue. In the General Assembly, with former state Sen. Robert C. Fitzgerald, he helped to win adoption of the county executive form of government and helped establish an area mental hospital. He lived in McLean and had another home in Palm Beach, Fla. He graduated magna cum laude from Washington and Lee University in 1936 and served in the Marine Corps in World Warll. After the war, he joined his father, Mason Hirst, 'owner of about 200 acres in the county, in the real estate business and launched into civic work. He was honored with the outstanding citizen award of the Washington Star in 1962. A bank director and investor, he was a founder and part owner of the Landmark Shopping Center near Alexandria. A Democrat, he served in the House of Delegates from 1954 to 1959 and the Senate from 1964 to 1979. Hirst worked for establishment of George Mason University and the university’s law school, and for creation of the community college system. He was a sponsor, with former Sen. Adelard Brault, of the Dulles Airport Tbll Road. His marriage to the former Ann Palmer ended in divorce. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Nancy Melrose Hand Hirst of McLean and Palm Beach; three children from his first marriage, Thomson Mason Hirst of Reston; Debra Nager of Warrenton; and Robin Hirst Moore of Orlean.
