Sheriff Larry Sherertz Local officials say they have no information regarding a specific threat against the county By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer When the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that A1 Qaeda operatives may be plotting attacks in the United States in major cities, it also cited remote areas such as Rappahannock County as a target of terrorists. The story went on to say that 'pieces of intelligence cite such obscure locales as Rappahannock, a rural Virginia county with several government facilities" as a target. ‘Christmas Time is Here ’ Photo courtesy Marcy Lauben Students from kindergarten through first grade at Wakefield Country Day School in Flint Hill sang 'Christmas Time is Here’ from Charlie Brown’s Christmas at the school's recent Christmas Choral Performance directed by music teacher Evelyn Oyster.

Its size prompted the commission's action Dec. 17. County administrator John McCarthy told commissioners the Websters had the right to build a house of 1,000 square feet or less within 100 feet of their main residence. But since they wanted a bigger house, it would require county approval. The Websters' builder, Peter Kreyling, said the house would be used by visiting family and guests. He said it will be within 75 feet of the main residence and will share a common well and one-meter electrical service, but will require a new septic drain field. He described the set-up as a family “compound.” The Websters, he said, do not intend to subdivide their 75-acre property. During the hearing, there were no comments from the public on the See HOME, Page A6 This story created somewhat of a furor as concerned Rappahannock residents, the national news media, including The New York Times and CNN, began calling the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office and the County Administrator's Office, trying to obtain more information. Now, the question in a lot of people's minds is whether in fact the socalled "chatter of terrorists actually said Rappahannock. Or was it Tappahannock, a fishing village located in Essex County, Virginia in the Northern Neck area, one and a half hours from Richmond? Everyone agrees the word county" was never used, according to interviews with the reporters who wrote the story and law enforcement officials from the federal level to local level. "I was told Rappahannock, Virginia was one of the places they were watching, just like LA and Las Vegas," said Greg Krikorian, one of the two reporters who covered the story. "I asked, What's there,' and they said government buildings. " Krikorian, who is stationed in Los Angeles, said he was the reporter who spoke to a source that told him "Rappahannock, Virginia." "Do you have government facilities there," he asked. There is a Rappahannock, Virginia, actually a "crossroads" where Rappahannock Community College in the Northern Neck area is located, said County Administrator John McCarthy, who is also director of Emergency Services for the county. A senior FBI official, who was asked to confirm the LA Times story, would only say: "The information in the Los Angeles Times is uncorroborated The federal government is working with state and local governments assessing the information.” This official said that following the Sept 11 terrorist attack on the U. S. "it was important for us to partner with law enforcement officials on the state and local level and move information to them in terms of security."' That s precisely what the FBI did over the weekend when it contacted Rappahannock County Sheriff Larry Sherertz to inform him, as a precautionary measure, of the terrorist conversation in which the words "Rappahannock" or "Tappahannock" possibly were used. "Analysts have confirmed to me that it was not Rappahannock County," said Sheriff. "I can't say what it is. I was asked not to speak about it. "The analysis has shown it was not Rappahannock County on the interception," said Sherertz. The LA Times definitely got it wrong," Sherertz said. The sheriff said that citizens should be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

Celebrating academic achievement > By Layne Vickers Special to the Rappahannock News It is a high school tradition to have a pep rally during Homecoming Week. The pep rally for the 2003 Homecoming had a little bit different beginning. The nor: mal celebrations of athletics and fun were pre-empted by a celebration of academic excellence. Roger Mello, Rappahannock County High School principal, presented 50 plaques to the Rappahannock Scholars recently. Rappahannock Scholars are 10th-12th graders who appear on the year-end A-B Honor Roll and miss no more than 10 days of school. Ron Vickers started this program in 1994. Students recognized as scholars receive a letter to put on athletic jack ets, a card for free food from area McDonald’s, and a plaque made by Vickers. Headwaters sponsors a reception for senior students in the spring. Vickers said. “It is our desire, and I’m speaking for the entire faculty, that each SCHOLAR: RCHS student Jenny Ferdetta receives her plaque from Roger Mello, principal and Mike Tupper, assistant principal during the pep rally. Photos courtesy/ Layne Vickers year more and more students will earn this honor. Rappahannock schools are next to none. Students get the EDGE.

Despite the absence of key players Morgan Blubaugh and Julia Baumgardner, the team managed to hold on to second place in the Bull Run district, defeating Clarke and Manassas Park, before being steamrolled by the strong George Mason team. The season record is now 4 -2, going into the long Christmas break. In the first match of the evening against Clarke, the Panthers got a slow start, leading by 30-20 after round 1, in which Nathan Welch, Tyler Williams, Jesse Palmer and Luke Wilson competed. In the directed round, Leslie Taubenberger, Glenn Swain, and Lauren Herbert assisted Williams as captain and gained some confidence, correctly identifying the eighth amendment as the one prohibiting “cruel and unusual punishment.” RCHS led 100 to 60 after Round 2, and kept its momentum in Round 3, with help from Matt Swain, Clay Vickers and Anna Kreyling who correctly identified U.S. Grant as the Union general at Cold Harbor, and the capital of Somalia, Mogadishu. The final score was Panthers 130, Clarke 80. The second match of the evening was against a Manassas Park team that had challenged the Panthers the previous week. This match was no different. After Round 1, RCHS trailed 30-40. Anna Kreyling captained the directed round and was a strong participant in this match, correctly answering “charter school, Addison’s disease, and boxing.” A lowlight of the match for Coach Naser was the failure of his physics students, Welch and Williams to identify the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe whom he had discussed in the class that day, but the Panthers redeemed themselves by knowing Johannes Kepler.

Had Manassas Park not interrupted on a question about the United Nations, the match would have gone to sudden death overtime, but the Panthers prevailed by 130 to 125. As in last week’s Mason match, the Panthers held their own in Round 1. With Williams as captain, Welch, Kreyling, and Glenn Swain, RCHS trailed by only 30 to 45, as George Mason lost points on three interruptions. In Round 2, Taubenberger and Herbert replaced Welch and Swain and the team struggled to come up with the correct answers. On one set of questions, the Panthers mixed up the words “fodder” and “forage” giving the answer away to Mason. On the next question, RCHS mixed up the poets Keats and Yeats, losing the point and ending the round trailing 70 to 155. These setbacks seemed to stun the Panthers into submission, and they gave up 70 points in Round 3. Despite knowing some answers, RCHS was too slow on the buzzers. The only point in the round came from sports trivia expert Luke Wilson, who correctly identified Hank Aaron as the home run king appearing on a Wheaties box in 2002. The final score was George Mason 235, Panthers 80. While the loss was somewhat demoralizing, the team still feels strategic adjustments can be made.

Two RCHS students win essay contest on Civil War By Rob Sherwood Special to the Rappahannock News Rappahannock County High School senior Anna Kreyling and junior Lauren Kruczynski were special guests of honor at the fourth annual dinner of the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table. They were the two top winners of the group’s first Civil War essay contest. Not only did they, and a select friend of each of them, receive a fine meal at Fretwell’s Restaurant on Main Street in Front Royal, but also they each collected not inconsiderable cash prizes: $200 for Kreyling’s first place essay and $100 for Kruczynski’s second place essay. Their topic was to discuss the relevance of the Civil War, now 135 years in the nation’s past, to American society today. The idea to sponsor an essay contest came from the group’s president Jack Price who thought the contest might give high school students an opportunity to reflect on the important legacy of this single most schismatic event in American history, a conflict whose seeds began with the importation of African slaves into Jamestown in 1619 and whose ultimate cost would be more than 650,000 military and civilian deaths. Kreyling, an honors student, a star athlete and a member of this year’s Academic Quiz-Bowl team, argued an intriguing thesis: “The major influence of the Civil War upon our society today was the emphasis that was placed on stronger capitalistic ideals that emerged directly after the war.” Here is how she concluded her essay: “It may no longer be our fear of splitting as a country that keeps us on this economic track, but it is certainly true that our post-war fears caused us to move to capitalism, and we do indeed follow the same economic practices of 135 years ago.” On the other hand, Kruczynski, another honors student at RCHS who also enjoys drama, found many ways in which the Civil War has influenced the present: “The dividing lines that separate parts of the country have been broken. The sections, once obstinate and unbending, now function as a working part of a democracy. War tactics were developed and advanced to suit the need of the rising industrialism. Newly renovated medical tactics brought about a, heightened awareness of the care and treatment needed for certain abrasions and ailments. More attention was paid to the failures of the past and we moved briskly forward into our modem world.” Although the contest was extended to six area high schools, the most essay respons Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table 2004 schedule The schedule of events for the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table for 2004 are as follows: Meetings are held the third Tuesday of the month at the Rappahannock County Library l off Route 211 on Library Road just before getting into Little Washington).

Most of her students know that Delcour is a passionate historian of the Civil War: She has worked for many years as a National Park Service historical interpreter at many Civil War battlefield sites in our area and she is a published author on Civil War topics. This sort of scholarly dedication has long inspired her students to take an interest in the issues and significance of the Civil War. Renown Civil War historian Kim Holien, the speaker at the annual dinner, presented both essay winners with a copy of his book, “Battle at Balls Bluff,” with a word of encouragement for their writing prowess. In his presentation on this little-known but far-reaching battle, Holien outlined many of the salient outcomes of the battle, in which an entrenched and experienced Confederate force nearly annihilated the inexperienced Union attackers along the shores of the Potomac near Leesburg. Of the 1,720 Union soldiers in the fight, at the end of the battle some 921 Union soldiers were casualties. Early in the three-hour debacle, President Lincoln’s best friend from boyhood, Senator (Colonel) Edward D. Baker, was killed, the only standing U.S. Senator to be killed on active military service. He was killed by a lqfhe Confederate cavalry private who rode across the lines dressed in a bluish coat that made northern soldiers mistake him for one of their own. The private simply rode right up to Colonel Butler and shot him once in the head with a revolver at close range. When this soldier then tried to retrieve Butler s sword, he was himself killed by a party of troops who rushed to the scene. Union soldiers faced death in three forms: bullets from well entrenched sharpshooters, plunging headlong, off the 150foot rocky bluff in sheer panic, and drowning in the Potomac. Many bodies were recovered downstream for weeks afterward. The Union leader, General Charles P. Stone, was made the target of wrath and a scapegoat by the “Radical Republicans” , who had gained the ascendancy in Congress. He was imprisoned for six months in Fort Lafayette in New York harbor without a list of the charges or a trial by court martial. Upon his release on Aug. 16, 1862, he struggled for months to clear his name, and eventually returned to active service. After the war, Stone, originally trained as an engineer, supervised the assembly of the Statue of Liberty which was officially dedicated on October 28, 1886, within site of Fort Lafayette where he had been imprisoned. The next meeting of the Round Table, Tuesday, Jan. 20 will be a member’s “show and tell” night with attendees encouraged to bring memorabilia, family letters, and favorite books about the Civil War to share. It will be held at the Rappahannock County Library at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and join the Round Table.

One of them, the historic Montpelier estate in our county, has come a long way since May 2000 when it was the ' scene of teenage vandalism and destruction that outraged our rural community. Montpelier began another chapter of its nearly 300-year history last week by becoming the centerpiece of a major land conservation gift (399 acres) which brings with it the added attraction of an annual increase in state financial aid to Rappahannock County's schools. This Georgian mansion has been sold out of the James W. Fletcher family which had owned it for the past several decades. On Aug. 25 of this year, it sold for $2,350,000 to Montpelier LLC of Catonsville, Md., donor of the easement, and Paul F. Larner. Iij addition to Montpelier's gift, five other key county properties also got easement protection, including the largest amount of acreage, 604 acres of Cliff Miller's farm in Sperryville. All total, 1,474 more acres were donated this past week. These latest gifts bring easement protection in Rappahannock County to 16,169 acres or nearly 12 percent of all privately owned land. What more could we want for Christmas? This is the season of giving, and we got six of the best presents we could hope for in our quest to protect land in this beautiful county. Thanks to these easements, Turkey Mountain is now protected and Sperryville has a protective "hard edge" at least on one side. The summit of Red Oak Mountain will forever remain as it is ^>day. If there is any downside, it is that, once again, circumstance has prompted property held in one family for multiple generations to change hands before the conservation action took place. In the spirit of Christmas, we hope the "old families" will stay here and figure out how to donate land conservation and school funding benefits as Cliff Miller has done. ‘Lessons I learned in 4-H Livestock Club’ This will be my sixth year as a member of the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club, the oldest 4-H club in the county. f While all of the 4-H clubs stimulate positive development in youth, the Livestock Club is especially efficient at doing so. Whether children are raising a 12 hundred pound steer or a 30 pound goat, they learn the same essential lessons that are used throughout life. Yearly animal projects teach time management, financial responsibility and moral values. For a period of three to seven months, the 4H is responsible for everyday care and health of the project. As it draws closer to the Farm Fair, the child learns to train his or her animal so that it can be safely handled in the show ring. When the time comes for an exhibitor to display his or her hard work at the fair, he also learns to respect his fellow exhibitors and their property. There are very few institutions today that can still teachthese important lessens, and the 4-H is one of theni. During my six years in the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club, I believe that I have only developed positive character, whicij has been handed down from not only the lead ers but also the farmers in the county. My time in 4-H has been dotted with many ups and downs. For several years my swine projects did not reach the minimal ending weight and I was stuck with a couple extra pigs. A lot of people wonder, “Why didn’t you just get out when you had nothing-no facilities and equipment?” I guess that my answer is, “It’s all part of the learning experience.” If I had quit 4-H several years ago when I literally had nothing—no permanent facilities, breeding stock, etc.— I would have never gained the countless lessons that I did these past several years. If it had not been for the 4-H, those downs would have cost a whole lot more and those ups would have been far less lucrative. The lessons that I learned in 4-H not only effect my character as a businessperson, but also in the other spheres of my life. (For more information regarding the Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club, contact the Rappahannock Extension Office or Jim Massie at 9375361. Meetings are held every third Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Extension Office.) Kevin Riedel Washington Rappahannock Today WJVG&i- 1 Assembly Letters Many supervisors ‘misguided’ on future of county Your illuminating coverage of the recent road paving controversy shows how misguided many supervisors are concerning the future of Rappahannock County. Rural character distinguishes our county from the neighboring, more developed counties in Northern Virginia. Since scenic, unpaved country roads are an integral part of this character, some of these roads must be preserved. The decision to pave should be viewed in a larger context than VDOT economies. Many 18th century cities (Old Town, Alexandria and Georgetown, Washington, D.C. for instance) maintain brick side walks at a cost substantially higher than modern concrete walks. These brick sidewalks are a part of the historical character of such cities much as simple gravel roads are a part of our county’s charm. I believe this paving fiasco, however, points to a much larger question. Do our supervisors really view the develop ment of our neighboring counties as a good road map for Rappahannock County’s future? The answer should be a “wake up call” for residents and constituents who cherish the natural beauty of our county. Jeffrey E. Knight Washington Reader questions justification for paving Grimsiey Road I have some comments about the reasons given by members of the Board of Supervisors for paving more of Grimsley Road in the front page story 6f the Dec. 18 Rappahannock News. First, Grimsley Road is an area which is “prime real estate and it will be developed.” This phrasing suggests that Grimsley Road is going to have a “housing development,” an industrial park or a shopping center in the near future. I do not think that any of these possibilities are consistent with the current zoning ordinances, the county Comprehensive Plan or the Rural Rustic Roads program. I think that Grimsley Road would be considered for “devel opment” long after other areas. Perhaps the supervisor meant that additional houses will be built on Grimsley Road in the future, within the current zoning ordinances. If so, this should not require additional paving now and probably will not in the future. Second, possible future use as a school bus route: there are two problem areas, which are not related to paving because both of these areas are paved now, which seem to prohibit regular school bus use. The first is the “steep and curvy” section (not far from the intersection with Route 647). This would appear to need to be drastically re-contoured to be acceptable. The second is the intersection with Route 729. The very limited line-ofsight distances at this intersection would make it very dangerous for school bus use. Has anyone asked the school system about this? Probably, the schools would not consider using Grimsley Road as it is now (paved or not paved). Third, Grimsley Road could be needed as an emergency school bus route. A far better alternative is South Poes Road to Route 211. This is a regular school bus route now. Again, the main problems with this use, as the road is now, are not related to paving. Fourth, people have changed their minds from their previous view. This is now. Fifth, the cost of maintain ing a gravel road compared to a paved road. I do not know the specifics, but VDOT, apparently, is not anxious to do additional paving on this road. Sixth, there is an opinion by some that roads should be paved, rather than gravel. This is personal opinion. The first four reasons do not seem to be valid as justification for additional paving. The other two do not seem to be sufficient reasons to choose what one property owner on Grimsley Road wants and ignore the opinion of the 10 or 12 others who do not want additional paving. Jim Warwick Flint Hill ‘What they (supervisors) did was just plain wrong’ It’s interesting to see a front page article in the Dec. 18 Rappahannock News where the Board of Supervisors again attempts to justify its vote to tar. and chip a portion of Grimsley Road. Why is this necessary, when there has been no mention in the paper for weeks? We hear again about school buses. School buses travel on many gravel roads in the county now. Why not spend the money to pave them? The article mentions the plan approved by the board would end at the driveway of Harry and Nancy Newlin, but states it has nothing to do with them. That is a ridiculous statement. If Harry Newlin had not requested the road be paved, it would not have been on the agenda and come before the board for discussion. It has everything to do with Harry and Nancy Newlin and noth ing else. Contrary to what Chairman Charles “Pete” Estes said in the article, VDOT did not recommend Grimsley Road for inclusion in the plan, and only suggested the 0.3 mile compromise after repeated pressure from the Newlins. Some compromise, when it benefits one property owner against the wishes of everyone else on the road. Chairman Estes says, “Look to the future. (Grimsley Road) is prifne real estate and it will be developed.” Maybe he has some developer friend in mind now. The board can make all the justifications it wants—school buses, floods, earthquakes, the sky is falling—but the bottom line is: what they did was just plain wrong. Susan Hanback Flint Hill No hunting on Sundays Hunting seven days a week? I don’t think so. Where we live, in the eastern part of Rappahannock County, Sunday is the only day we feel safe enough to take a walk on the rural roads or S dare to go into the wooded part of our property. Although we do not allow hunting on our land,we hear shots all around us and on occasion bullets whizzing by. With the hunting season 1 starting Oct. 4 and ending Jan. 3, Rappahannock County already has one of the longest seasons in Virginia. For three months we have to adjust our outdoor activities, to accom modate hunting. Rest on Sunday is fair and necessary for the game species, as >t is for non-hunters. Monika Fischer Amissville ‘The issue here is the holier than thou attitude’ It is amazing how those I considered the brains of the county completely overlooked the main point of my complaint. After reading the longwinded ridiculous letters I somehow felt I am an habitual late payer, when in fact never have I been late in paying taxes, county stickers, sales tax, etc. The issue here is the “holier than thou” Attitude adopted by Ms. Foster. I detest those with a millimeter of power who look down their nose as if they are God Almighty. I am an old man, way past my retiring years, and to attempt to shovel overa ton of snow is asking for^a heart attack. Two of the sweetest ladies in town live next to Ms. Foster, and I would doubt very much had either or both been in the same impossible situation as I, would have received a much warmer consideration than the treatment I underwent. Please tell me truthfully I am wrong, afterall, these taxes were paid the same morning 0 they would have arrived had I access to the post office. My right to leave tax payment till the final day is a matter of economics as the interest accrued goes toward the many requests for jewelry, checks and cash from committees for auctions, fund-raisers, schools, school band, senior citizen association etc., too numerous to mention. There will be a little belttightening next year as some of this interest which goes to these deserving causes, has instead gone to an undeserving source, unless Ms. Foster wishes to donate it to those who need it badly. Finally, the congratula, tions from customers who Tiave formed the same opin ion of Ms. Foster as I, thus far have far exceeded the three silly attacks I have read. For me to have fabricated the incident would leave me in need of mental treatment. Edmund Kavanagh Washington P.S. Apology? I will publicly kiss her feet when she first examines her inner soul and admits to her highhanded handling of the mere request I made. Of course, it will never happen. Attack all you want, I am finished writing.

Giving thanks at this time of year for all our gifts As we all envision the close of another year and the beginning of a new year may we all give thanks for all bounteous gifts of the past year and may we have the wisdom and strength in the time to come. I ask myself, “Why do I celebrate Christmas and what does this time of the year mean to me?” Do I celebrate because it is what my parents taught me? Do I celebrate because it is what my church taught me? Do I celebrate because it is what most of my friends do? Do I celebrate because it is a legal holiday? In the “Webster's New American Dictionary” the definition of Christmas states: “December 25 celebrated as a church festival in commemoration of the birth of Christ and observed as a legal holiday.” Why do you celebrate Christmas? Happy Birthday to Geneva Welch, wife of Roger Welch, and many more to come. Our sympathy is extended to Neal and Tammy Atkins and their daughter Brittany, of Flint Hill, to the loss of Neal's father, Marshall Atkins of Spenyville.

As far as extra security precautions, Sherertz said, "We’re not doing anything different. We did alert our deputies to be extra vigilant because we are code orange now. The idea of a terrorist attack on Rappahannock County doesn't make sense to a lot of people, including the sheriff. We have no rail facilities, no nuclear facilities, no federal installations, no covert military work. Heck, we don’t even have stop lights," he said. County administrator McCarthy said, "We don’t have any information that there is a specific threat against us. He said. We, the sheriffs office, did check with the Inn at Little Washington to see if there were any dignitaries coming in the next few days, like the Israeli ambassador or Speaker of the House, but there aren't.

Commissioners determined that the second dwelling would not be suitable as a rental home. The commissions action sends the Webster application to the Hoard of Supervisors with a recommendation for final approval. The supervisors are scheduled to take up the application at their next monthly meeting on Jan. 5. After completing the Webster matter, the commission resumed its series of public hearings on the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Though this is the basic document that underpins all county policies on land use, zoning and development, the hearing drew only a small audience of nine persons who listened and offered questions and comments as the commissioners worked page-by-page through Chapter 6 of the plan, which outlines goals, principles and policies of the county on land use. McCarthy provided the commission with a series of suggestions for changes in the chapter suggested by mem bers of the public and the commissioners themselves. Most of these were in the nature of fine-tuning the language— minor clarifications, elaborations or deletions—but two proposed changes involved new ideas on preserving farmland and developing the villages of the county. Under Principle 1 of the chapter, which states the county will encourage and promote agriculture and ensure the preservation of farm land, McCarthy offered a new policy statement supporting a proposed program of purchase of development rights. It recommends that the county “Sponsor a Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program to facilitate the preservation of important agricultural lands that cannot be preserved through other means.” Several Virginia counties and municipalities have established such PDR programs, under which the development rights on a designated parcel of land can be purchased from the owner to ensure that the land remains open and undeveloped in the future.

McCarthy said the committee is expected to make its report in March, and the new language proposed for the Comprehensive Plan anticipates a possible approval of such a plan. However, no decision on the PDR question will be final until the Board of Supervisors considers the advisory committee’s report. In discussion of the PDR idea, Wakefield commissioner Charles Strittmatter stated that he would oppose use of any public funds for the purchase of development rights, and McCarthy said the county is not planning to use tax revenues for that purpose. On the issue of village development, Castleton resident Jim Gannon told the commission that the villages could be revitalized by making them attractive places for small businesses and for senior citizens to live as residents.

The easement donations are from: Montpelier LLC, 399 acres, east side of 231 including the historic plantation house; Cliff Miller, 604 acres of Mount Vernon Farm, adjacent to Sperryville including much of Turkey Mountain; Thomas Walker Jr., 199 acres, part of old High Meadow Farm east of Flint Hill; Margaret and Bill Greer, 153 acres, top of Red Oak Mountain; and Leslie and Andrew Cockbum, 118 acres, slopes of Red Oak Mountain. Under terms of the easement, the property may be divided into no more than four parcels. The Montpelier house may be repaired, renovated, or replaced—but not demolished without VOF approval. Three new primary dwellings are allowed, as well as eight secondary dwellings, along with outbuildings and swimming pools. The existing aircraft hangars and airstrip may be repaired or demolished.

Church News Inspiring Thoughts by Randy Minter UNIQUELY HUMAN As far as we can tell, one of the primary bits of self-knowledge that separates humans from other animals is that we have an awareness of our impending demise. Unlike other living things, we wonder about what happens to the dead. It is this concern that gave rise, in prehistory, to the sacred act of burying our dead. This fundamental obligation is much the same as it was thousands of years ago. We pause when death occurs. We ask what we can do to ease the passage. We contemplate our own end. We search for ways to comfort the living. We remember the dead. While traditions may differ, these are the questions and circumstances that make us all uniquely human. It Is often our discomfort with our own end that can make dealing with the loss of another so difficult. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are here to help you with the process, offering comfort and cafe, suggesting possibilities for services, arranging the details. Call 347-3431, 24 hours a day. Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA. "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.

Shop From Page B1 , The phildren and their volunteers traveled to the Front RoyalJ'K-Mart in a caravan of police cars and quickly spread out over the store. The children could purchase $100 worth of merchandise for themselves or their families. Winter coats, shoes, shirts, and pants were the prevailing items purchased. Most of the children carefully chose a few toys for themselves and small presents for family members. Local Girl Scouts helped the volunteers and provided a bag of candy for each child. After all the shopping was done each child was also given a "Families Serving Families" Unparalleled Service Since 1830, the Benchmark of Funeral Service 11190 James Monroe Highway (Rt. 29 South) Culpeper, VA Wayne English, Funeral Director 540-825-2361 Kristen Privett, Funeral Director wwHuilofcenglidi.com Toys for Tot$ Spontor www.krymrmorirt.rofn box of toys, which had been, donated by K-Mart employees. A great breakfast was waiting for the shoppers at the Washington Fire House. While the children were busy eating, coloring pictures and receiving gifts from Santa Claus, a large group of volunteers were busy wrapping the gifts. In five short hours everyone returned to the Sheriffs Office where the children found the wrapped presents and beautiful food baskets. The children said their good-byes to their new friends and departed for home. A joyful day was had by all. Through this program some 73 children from 30 families will now have a much brighter holiday season. This special event was only possible because so many people care about the children in the Rappahannock County community. And what a special community it is.
