It has left the Rappahannock County community, especially their schoolmates, parents and teachers in shock and disbelief over the tragedy involving two of the school’s most popular students, brothers who were "always together." And it was especially hard on rescue personnel and police on the scene who knew the boys and their family in this small community. One of them, Sgt. Gary Settle of the Virginia State Police, is their basketball coach. He had to identify the body and go to the family home at 3:30 a.m. to inform the family. The 1989 Ford Taurus Nathan, 18, was driving ran off the right side of the roadway, traveled along the shoulder and over an embankment striking a tree on the passenger's side. Dylan, who was seated in the front passenger seat,was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident occurred on Route 522 south, one half mile north of Route 604 near Blackwater Creek After impact, the four-door car came to rest in a grassy area a short distance from the roadway. It was totaled in the crash. Nathan was flown to INOVA Hospital in Fairfax where he is being treated for serious injuries, broken See ACCIDENT, Page A5 Citizen of the Year: Werner Krebser The Rappahannock News’ Citizen of the Year for 2003 is Dr. Werner Krebser who died June 6 at his home near Flint Hill after a long struggle with cancer. “Doc” was a family doctor and a farmer. He was a penniless immigrant and a man of wealth and influence. He was a husband and father. He was a conservationist and county planner. He was a strongly opinionated debater, but listened intently to all sides, of an issue. But mostly he was a friend and mentor who cared about the people and the land of Rappahannock County. The Rappahannock News salutes the late Dr. Werner Krebser as its 2003 Citizen of the Year. This is the first time the newspaper has given the award posthumously. “Dr. Krebser contributed significantly to the health and welfare of the county,” said Bob Lander, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, upon learning of Krebser’s award. “I believe though, that his legacy is the work he did conserving our envi1 r -Meetings & Notices • All Rappahannock County government offices will be closed Thursday, Jan. 1 and Friday, Jan. 2.

He continues to teach us... .All we have to do is follow the example he set,” said Lander. Rappahannock County Administrator John W. McCarthy said, “Dr. Krebser was a man of many talents and many passions. That he chose to apply some of both to the causes of the preservation of open space and of agriculture in Rappahannock County is a matter for which all of its citizens, as well as those not yet bom, should be grateful. “He enjoyed challenge, and returned it in kind; whether one’s arguments won out or he remained unconvinced, those who knew him were made better by the engagement.” John Sullivan, he know Krebser in the last five years and was introduced bv Krebser to the Lunch Bunch, said, “I think the choice (of Dr. Krebser for Citizen of the Year) is right on the mark. “He deserves it. He had a tremendous and long-lasting effect on the county. We are indebted to him. We will be benefiting for years and years, the things he accomplished.” Krebser’s road to Rappahannock County had many twists and side Rappahannock News Photo/Bruce Jones The Rappahannock News’ 2003 Citizen of the Year: Dr. Werner Krebser trails. He was bom Jan. 9, 1928, in Zurich, Switzerland, the son of a butcher. He followed his father’s trade for five years as an apprentice and jour neyman butcher until he was drafted into the Swiss Army for two years of obligatory service. He hoped to receive additional training as an officer, but A tradition & The Rappahannock News’ Citizen of the Year award recognizes those men and women whose outstanding leadership and accomplishments in the public interest have left an indelible mark upon the history of Rappahannock County. was turned down because of his lack of higher education. As his military service was ending, Krebser answered an ad in a Swiss newspaper for a butcher in Burwell. Nebraska to succeed a retiring Swiss butcher. Krebser spoke French and German, and had studied Italian, but he knew no English. He arrived on the wind-swept plains of Nebraska in 1950, owing his sponsors $200. He soon realized that there was no future in being a butcher in small town America. With encouragement from friends, he enrolled in the pre-veterinary program in Kearney State See CITIZEN, Page A6 County public schools are ‘fully accredited’ By Mary Ann Kuhn Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County's public schools are “fully accredited” now, according to the Virginia Department of Education. The is an improvement over the rating of the high school and elementaiy school last year when both fell short of full accreditation even though they met state achievement goals on Standards of Learning (SOL) tests in English, mathematics, history and social science. It took some persistence and patience from School Supt. Robert Chappell to secure the “fully accredited” status for the high school. While the elementaiy school was “fully accredited” last month, the high school was listed on the Department of Education's website as “Provisionally Accredited, Needs Improvement.” Some school officials were shocked to see that rating as they felt certain they had the basis for “full” accreditation. Chappell ahd his staff submitted new data to tfts. Department of Education and while the state was looking at these figures, it changed the rating to “to be determinep.” This gave the stateSstaff time to verify the information submitted by school officials. V That data boosted the high school's math SOL pass rate from 68 percent to 73 percent, kicking the high school up to the “fully accredited” slot. An announcement last week about the school's achievement was put out by an elated-sounding Chappell who wrote, “It's official!” and explained that the state had re-calculatqa the accreditation numbers for the high school and put it in the “fully accredited” category. The rating is for 2003-04 based on SOL testing 2002-03. Rappahannock County is one of 44 (of 1,32) Virginia school divisions with all schools listed as “fully accredited.” “The 2002-03 administration, teachers and other school employees worked hard to insure that all students K-12 learned important course content including the rigorous Virginia SOL,” said Chappell. “I am very proud of the work done last year by former Superintendent Helen Williams, employees at both schools, students, volunteers and by centred support / transportation staff. The much deserved designation of “fully accredited” for both schools is a just * reward for their efforts,” he said. “We will re-double our efforts to make our schools second to none, ” said Chappell.

Rappahannock News Photo/Ann Spieker VICTORY: Junior Panther Will Boelte drives through to get two points in Rappahannock's 38-37 victory against Strasburg Dec. 15. The Junior Panthers have a 3-1 record. Junior Panthers reach 3-1 record By Rhonda Jenkins Special to the Rappahannock News The Rappahannock middle school boys’ basketball team has started the season on a high note. Through the first four games of the season, the team has a record of 3-1, and the only loss came the first game of the year. That game featured the young Panthers against the Page Panthers. The Rappahannock team led most of the game but came up short with three seconds left on the clock. Page hit the bucket and the Junior Panthers lost 3736. The next three games would be just as exciting but the outcome was in favor of the Panthers. They defeated Madison 36-29, Luray 51-44, and Strasburg 38-37. In each of the wins it was a team effort; everyone contributed in some way. In the Page game, Shawn Porter lead in scoring with 15 points and had several key rebounds. Travis Jenkins had a game high seven assists. In the Madison game, Shawn Porter and Chase Tupper led in scoring with 16 and 10 respectively. Will Boelte and Travis Jenkins helped in the rebounding department with eight and seven. Against Luray, Porter had a game high 29 points and 20 rebounds and played a tremendous game for an eighth grader. Daniel Rollins had several key steals and contributed with seven points. Against Signal Knob Middle School (Strasburg) the young Panthers raced out to an early 14-6 lead in the first quarter. Tupper, a seventh grader, had the hot hand and had 11 of the points in the first. Rappahannock held off the Rams for an exciting one point win. Tupper lead in scoring with 14 points, Porter with nine and Boelte added eight. Boelte also led in rebounding with 11, and Jenkins pulled down eight boards. It’s been an exciting year so far and the Junior Panthers are looking forward to the second half of the season and hopefully will be picking up some more wins for their fans. Rhonda Jenkins is the coach of Rappahannock’s Junior Panthers boys’ basketball team. l An evening GED program “Race to GED” is a new state initiative endorsed by Virginia Governor Mark Wtarner. The governor would like to double the GED graduates in the next two years. The “Race to GED” was developed with that in mind.

We did so to honor the vision and spirit of Dr. Krebser who died June 6. One of the key reasons Rappahannock looks so beautifiil today is because of hard, tough decisions Dr. Krebser made as a Planning Commission member for nearly a quarter of a century to keep it this way. He was an outspoken champion of all we want to preserve here, our open spaces, our scenic beauty. We salute him as our 2003 Citizen of the Year.

The clients can usually get cold cereal, a piece of toast and coffee in the morning, but today I scrambled pan after pan of eggs which were received with heart-breaking enthusiasm. Having spent many years working among the poor and very poor, among uneducated blacks, Indians and poor whites in rural and urban settings I thought I knew the sort of people to expect. I was wrong. At least the four people with whom I chatted at length were educated and articulate. Somehow they had fallen out of good jobs and good incomes and landed here in “the best shelter there is.” And what the best had to offer was a dedicated and caring staff and a bed amidst 24 other beds in a large room—a bed available from 7 p.m. to 7 As I drove home, the on public radio. I saile undulating hills on th< a.m. Everyone had to clear out at 7 a.m. except this one day a year when they are permitted to stay in bed as long as they want. In April the shelter closes till next winter. Gloria, one of the four with whom I chatted, had been a nurse. Her medical knowledge was known and hailed by the others. She spoke to me of an author who. writes novels involving issues of health and sickness. It’s a New York Times best-seller. I don’t remember the name. Eesie—whom I heard using the word “eclectic” before I drifted over—had been the only black faculty member in a college in Potomac, Md. She had been head of the art department. She had been writing of her experiences (her journal and Messiah was playing d back into our ^ tse heavenly aoi||M|a^ first draft were stolen, not— she was anxious for me to know— by other clients). We exchanged notes as one writer to another. Lila was starting a new job Monday as a paralegal *1 was in a terrible depression. I couldn’t seem to get out of it and pull myself up again. Then I said to myself, ‘See here - depression is just a feeling. It’s just a feeling. Life can still go on.’* Annie, one of maybe two or three whites, has a job in the government paying $8.50 an hour. It involves interviewing senior citizens about their health needs. “But it’s not enough to live on in this city,* she said, and pointed out that bus drivers get $17.50 per hour. “It’s not fair* she said with passion. Why was her work considered of less value? bhe was sitting on ner bed reading a recent book by Lappe. She had studied under the economist Herman Daly, author of “Steady State Economics.” Before I knew it _ we were arguing about the precepts of my “Sane Economy” which would give a citizen’s income to everyone and trust us to work when we see that work is needed. Her objection echoed many others. “But who would volunteer to work if they didn’t have to?” It was interesting to learn that the Jewish Community Center alone usually signs up 1,500 volunteers for Christmas day. Many other churches and organizations recruit Christmas volunteers. This suggests that there were an enormous number of people spending this Christmas just as I was. As I drove home the Messiah was playing on public radio. I sailed back into our undulating hills on those heavenly sounds. Happy holidays and a good year to one and all. . Rabbi Carla Theodore Sperryville What Rappahannock needs is a community center for all I have been following the county’s most recent debate over the “Men of Rappahannock County calendar and how it affects our community and the way people look at us. But I want to shy away from the calendar issue and focus on the purpose: building a track for the youth as well as the adults. I am kind of in the middle. I’m 21 years old, and to most would probably be considered more as a youth, but I believe it is a great idea to raise money for such things that involve the youth as well as the adults. It’s things like that, that make a community and bring them together. So I would like to propose to Rappahannock County an idea that I think this county as well as a lot of surrounding counties need desperately. I have lived in several towns as well as states in my life and I see how much of a positive impact a community center can make on people’s lives, of all ages. For young people, it gives them a place to go where they are surrounded by positive people and a positive atmosphere. It gives them a place to go where there are no drugs and no weapons and no alcohol. It gives them activities to get involved in where they can build character and prepare themselves for real life situations. It gives them a place to go play basketball, and tennis and swim inside. For the adults, it gives them a place to work out. It gives them a place to get involved in fitness classes and other activities. We all know that “the rec center” here in Rappahannock County is not used for sports or recreation by most. I admit that some go for basketball and tennis and to play on the playground but most go for all the wrong reasons, and some shy away from “the rec center” because others are out there doing those things. Also it is basically useless in the winter, because it is too cold to be out there, and snow and ice are often on the courts. Another affect it would have is on the competitiveness of our school’s athletic teams. From what I have witnessed RCHS is the laughing stock of the Bull Run District, as well as the Virginia High School League (VHSL) in most sports. With a community center like the one I propose, the young people would have a place to go where they could work on building their talent in a specific sport, such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, and it also would allow them a weight room to build up strength for all sports. With a center like this RCHS could also develop a tennis team and a swimming team and use the facility for competition. A facility like this would give the young people a place to go and work on their skills year round instead of just when the school is offering open gym.

A community center would give them an opportunity to play youth basketball, Dixie youth baseball, youth soccer, tee-ball, etc. There are plenty of positive affects that a community center could have on Rappahannock County and hardly any negative affects. I think every community needs a place for people to go and interact with each other in a positive environment and through the spirit of recre-. ation. I will be taking the steps to get this approved here in Rappahannock County and also will be investigating grants for this non-profit organization. I would hope that more would show interest in helping me turn this into a reality. I challenge everyone to take a step forward and help fund— by raising, soliciting, or donating money—this community center.

Accident From Page A1 bones and a collapsed lung, said Settle. Dylan, a sophomore at RCHS, was wearing his seat belt; Nathan, a senior there, was not, according to Settle. The crash occurred around 1:15 a.m. What the teenagers were doing out at that hour seems to be a question with no definitive answer at this point. There is some talk in the community that there were two parties in the county that night. State police say they haven't confirmed whether the boys were at a party and the investigation is continuing. "I do know the parents knew where they were," said Settle. Parents of the boys, Diana and Don Corbin, were at the hospital and unable to be reached for comment. Preliminarily it does not appear that excessive speed was a causative factor," said Settle. He said the investigation will look into other potential causes "such as equipment, alcohol or other violations that may have contributed to this tragic accident.'' Settle said the investigation showed "no braking, no signs of over-correction. It just slammed right into the tree." Asked if Nathan could have fallen asleep at the wheel, Settle said, "it is a great possibility." Settle called the accident a "most unfortunate incident that so frequently involves our young drivers." Mary Beth Williams, an 18year-old senior at RCHS, was tragically killed in an automobile accident on May 14, 1997. She was a passenger in the front seat of a car driven by another teenager who also lost her life when the car slammed into a large walnut tree on Route 729. As the community mourns, school officials are preparing for ways to help handle the grief. "Its tragic," said Roger Mello, principal of the high school. "Dylan was such a wellloved young man. And Nathan is one of the bubbliest people in the senior class, so outgoing and gregarious."

With his partner, Dr. Jerry Martin, Krebser built and opened the Rappahannock Medical Center in Washington, Va., where the two served the medical needs of Rappahannock County. Krebser was known for his compassionate care-giving tempered by his plainspoken and often argumentative demeanor. Ib the sick and those in pain he was remembered as attentive, kind, and caring with gentle hands and words. But woe to those who over indulged or had the wrong habits. Obese patients were told in plain language that they were too fat and needed to lose 20 or 30 pounds. With smokers he was even more brusque, telling them that unless they quit smoking he could be no help to them. He was known for his 21 years of service on the county Planning Commission, including a stint as chairman. His firm guidance and willingness to tackle tough issues helped to develop and enforce Rappahannock’s stringent laws and controls on zoning, developments, 1 and subdivisions such as con- I trolling commercial develop- m ment along Route 211. Appli- j| cants hoping to slide through a m hearing on a request for a change or approval often found ® themselves facing tough probing Iff questions that they were not &;?•. always prepared to answer. fife Not ail his decisions or stands were popular, but when he felt he was right, he stood his ground. Perhaps his most controversial action was when he joined a lawsuit against the county after the Board of Supervisors, claiming sewage sludge was a health hazard, outlawed its use for fertilizer. Krebser counter claimed that sewage sludge was not a danger, and its use should be allowed. He later dropped out of the suit. Krebser’s last wish, to dispose of all junk-car sites in the county, is still to pass. Perhaps because he never forgot his humble beginnings, Krebser was never too proud to do any task required of him, from pulling weeds to cleaning the bam. He was known in less formal circles as a leading member of the “Lunch Bunch,” a disparate group that met to discuss, debate, and dine at various Rappahannock restaurants, most recently the Flint Hill Public House. Krebser, a liberal and Democrat, was not shy about expressing his well thought-out views winning the respect and friendship of most, including ultra-conservatives who were at opposite poles from his views. Krebser mamed rran Moore and retired a few years ago from active medical practice. He remained active in county affairs until the last few months of his life when incurable prostate cancer forced him to restrict his activities. He died at home at the age of 75. A memorial service arranged by wife Fran was attended by 150 friends and family members on Aug. 2 on the grounds of the Flint Hill Public House where he had often lunched and talked with his friends from the Lunch Bunch. Reinhardt Lynch and Patrick O’Connell, co-owners of the Inn at Little Washington placed a bronze plaque engraved “Krebser Square” in front of the Washington Post Office. Krebser owned the building before selling it to Lynch and O’Connell in 1989. Krebser was active in the Rappahannock County Democratic Party, the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, the Cancer Society, and Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation. Since his death, two taxexempt non-profit hinds have been established in his name. One is The Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation, a land trust sponsored by the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, and the Piedmont Environmental Council. Memorial gifts may be sent to the Krebser Fund for Rappahannock County Conservation, P.O. Box 460, Warrenton, Va. 20188. The other is the Headwaters’ Krebser Endowment Challenge, a matching fund to help underwrite portions of Headwaters’ operating expenses. An anonymous donor will match 50 percent of all contributions for the next three years. Gifts may be sent to Headwaters’ Endowment, P.O. Box 448, Washington, Va. 22747. <

• Obituaries/B2 • Classifieds/B3-B6 January 1,2004 Count RYSIDE Section B A new look for the new year By Deborah Shepherd Rappahannock News Staff Writer Timid souls can be intimidated by what they think fitness clubs or exercise classes are like. They imagine that everyone there will be thong-worthy: trim, vibrating with energy, working the machines or the weights like pros. Well, that’s not entirely true. Plenty of folks who gear up to work out need to lose weight. They have no clue how to safely heft a dumbbell, and when the aerobics music starts, they grow a third left foot. That’s why they’re at the club or in the class in the first place. And that’s why you, Timid Soul, can relax. You aren’t alone. Also, the exercise opportunities listed below are guided by professionals. They aren’t there just to be the gold standard to which beginners aspire. Like wizards who study spells, they understand the arcana of fitness: how to tone without bulking up, what the heart needs to be healthy, and how long you have to sweat on the Stairmaster to burn off a Chocolate Thunder From Down Under. • Chestnut Forks Athletic Club Warrenton (540) 347-0823 The New Year’s special is five months of fitness for $240 — and you have until Feb. 1 to begin.

Nominated by the Golden Globe for best film, this engaging movie is being shown by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community at The Theatre in Washington on Friday, Jan. 2 at 8 p.m. The film, acquired at Cannes, seen at Tbronto and Sundance and winner of several fest audience awards, focuses on Jess Bhamra (Nagra), a college-bound Londoner and soccer fanatic who lives in a strict family of proud and prospering Indian immigrants. Unlike elder sis Pinky (Archie Panjabi), who works at nearby Heathrow Airport and has delighted the parents (Anumpam Kher and Shaheen Khan) with her wedding plans, Jess is a problem. She is still awaiting acceptance to begin her law studies, but worse, she is a rabid soccer fan who loves the gear and sneaks off to play with the neighborhood gang. Her parents hope shell become engaged to Tbny (Ameet Chana) but he’s just a pal. A part-time bartender, Joe (Jonathan RhysMyers), who coaches a women’s soccer team, recognizes Jess’ talent and recruits her for his team. ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ Jess must keep this activity secret from ents, who want their daughter to dress and marry Indian. There are many humorous moments and filmmaker Gurinder Chadha, whose debut feature was the critically acclaimed “Bhaji on the Beach,” delivers charming, visually dazzling work. Nagra shows off the true conflicted nature of a stymied teen, complete with a delightful bewilderment at all the attention placed on her. She has a big career in her future. (Parminder Nagra is one of the new stars currently playing in TV’s “ER.”) The film is rated PG-13 and contains obscenity, sexual situations and some underage drinking. Run time is 112 minutes. her^parfeminine

The tomb was included in the seven wonders of the Ancient World. This architectural influence of the mausoleum has been preserved to the present time . Perhaps the most enduring image of a mausoleum is that of the mughal Empress Mumtaz Mahal. Its curving, gently swelling dome and the square base upon which it rests is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular buildings in the world. As a tomb, it has no match on earth. Whatever memorial you choose, large or small, it reflects on the memory of the one you honor. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we can help you figure out what type of memorial, both service and headstone, that would best match the memory of your loved one.
