Sharing the road: Cyclist dies after collision with car By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Bicyclists and motor vehicle drivers often share the road in Fauquier County; when they collide, bicyclists take the brunt of the damage. Fourteen fatal accidents involving bicyclists have occurred in Virginia in 2017, according to state records. In The Plains last weekend, a 77-year-old bicyclist was struck by a car on Halfway Road, according to a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman. Peter Slavin, 77, of Oakton, was flown to INOVA Fairfax Hospital Sunday evening after suffering significant brain injury when his bicycle and a 1998 Volvo collided,
“People can get furious if they have to wait less than 30 seconds. I’ve even seen drivers willing to stop and argue with a cyclist about access to the road.” JARED NIETERS
Sgt. James Hartman said. Slavin died March 29 at INOVA Fairfax Hospital, he reported. The driver, Babette Alliger, 59, of Culpeper and Middleburg, faces a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. She was attempting to pass the bicyclist when she hit him and knocked him
to the ground. Hartman emphasized that according to the law, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as a motorized driver. For their part, drivers need to pass at a reasonable speed and keep a distance of at least 3 feet to the left of the bicyclist, said Hartman. On Fauquier’s winding roads that often don’t have shoulders, drivers sometimes have to follow slowly behind bikers while waiting for a safe place to pass them. While cyclists and drivers share a duty to use the road responsibly, there are steps cyclists can take to protect themselves on the road.

Warrenton police officer is acquitted in assault
By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The Warrenton police officer charged with misdemeanor assault after a woman sustained a broken nose during an encounter at a bar last September has been found not guilty. Judge J. Gregory Ashwell’s ruling issued on Monday followed testimony by defendant Carl M. Ferguson; the injured woman, Kristen Abshire, and others during a hearing last Friday in Fauquier General District Court. An April 18 court date had been set to give Ashwell time to review testimony, but his verdict was filed Monday.

Youth for Tomorrow seeks foster homes for migrant children By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer
Youth for Tomorrow, the Bristow nonprofit created to help homeless youth in the area, is reaching out to the community to find foster homes for vulnerable young border-crossers who are currently housed in government detention centers. Courtney Gaskins, YFT’s vice president of programs, said the nonprofit’s residential homes on Linton Hall Road have been at capacity for some 20 months. Now the group is trying to help the Office of Refugee and Resettlement, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, find safe places for its more vulnerable detainees. “We’re looking for about 50 foster-care beds in our community to make available for unaccompanied minors currently in detention by ORR,” Gaskins said Friday. “They try to move the children from detention at the border within 72 hours.” ORR considers certain kids more vulnerable than others, Gaskins said, and they are the children YFT would most like to place in foster homes. They include kids of “tender age,” those under 13, as well as those in the “special needs” category, including sibling pairs, teenagers with children or who are pregnant, and those with disabilities. The YFT website says the organization has received funding from the federal government to house vulnerable child migrants. “These children are temporary residents at YFT’s main campus as they await reunification. They attend our on-campus school and are pro-
“If you have ever considered fostering, this opportunity may be for you.”

Foster homes needed
YFT began advertising its need for foster families via Facebook last month. “Youth For Tomorrow has an urgent need,” the Facebook post reads, “for short-term foster parents for unaccompanied immigrant children who are awaiting reunification with family or sponsors in the U.S. If you have ever considered fostering, this opportunity may be for you. For more information please call Jennifer Ortega at 703-425-9200.” Wendy Umbarger, director of Foster Care Services said that as word has started to get out, “We are getting a lot of calls.” Anyone can volunteer to be a foster parent, but training is required, as is passing background checks and a home study. Foster parents can be single or married, have children or not. “They must have an income, to show they aren’t dependent on this,” Gaskins said. “There is a stipend.” The children typically stay is less than a month while they await document authentication from the embassy. Cases involving abuse or neglect take longer, she said. Forty-five to 90 days is the norm, the website says. The foster parent(s) may have a job, Gaskins

Fauquier files opioid lawsuit against Purdue Pharma, 50 others By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Fauquier and Prince William counties are joining 17 other Virginia jurisdictions in separate civil lawsuits seeking hundreds of millions in damages from Purdue Pharma and more than 50 other opioid manufacturers, distributors and pharmacy benefit managers for their part in the wide-ranging opioid-addiction crisis. Filed last week, the lawsuits are worded nearly identically and were brought on behalf of the counties by the same three law firms: Sanford Heisler Sharp LLP; The Cicala Law Firm PLLC; and Kaufman & Canoles PC. They accuse the long list of defendants of “caus[ing] an opioid epidemic that has resulted in economic, social and emotional damage to tens of thousands of Americans throughout virtually every community in the United States.” The lawsuits include several big names among the list of defendants, including not only Purdue Pharma, but also Abbott Laboratories, CVS Health and Pharmacy, Walgreens, Express Scripts, Caremark and United Health. “The manufacturers make the opioids and lie about their efficacy and addictive properties. The wholesalers distribute the opioids from the point of manufacture to the point of delivery to the patient,” the lawsuits state. “And the [pharmacy benefit managers] control, through their pharmacy plan design and formulary management, which drugs go where and how they are paid for.” Andrew Miller, senior litigation counsel for Sanford Heisler Sharp LLC, said profits drive the addiction crisis at every level. “As we allege, [the defendants] did this because they were making billions of dollars selling opioids, despite the fact that they knew how dangerous and addictive they are,” he added. “Their profit-motivated behavior has caused an extraordinary wave of devastation across the country,
and localities like our clients have been left to try to clean up the aftermath of the epidemic of death and human misery that the defendants’ actions unleashed. That is the story of these cases, and that is why we believe we will be successful.” CVS had no comment on the lawsuit, according to T.J. Crawford, CVS Health’s vice president for external affairs. Purdue Pharma representatives did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
Fauquier seeks $100 million-plus in damages
Each of the lawsuits, filed separately in the Prince William and Fauquier circuit courts, seeks damages relative to what the law firms calculate each county has spent or will spend on the opioid addiction crisis in the coming years. The firm pegged the cost of the crisis at more than $100 million plus punitive damages for Fauquier, Miller said. Among costs borne by both counties, the lawsuits cite burdens on law-enforcement agencies, fire and rescue services, jails and judicial systems, social services, school divisions and hospitals. The filings highlight the local rates of neonatal abstinence syndrome and of hepatitis C among young adults ages 18 to 30. Neonatal abstinence syndrome is caused when a baby is exposed to drugs in the womb. In 2015, Fauquier County’s rate of NAS births was four times higher than the statewide rate, while Prince William County’s was three times higher, the lawsuit states. In Fauquier County, the rate of overdose deaths rose from 4 to 5.9 per 100,000 in 1999 to 16 to 17.9 per 100,000 in 2016, the lawsuit states. The law firms are representing both counties on a contingency, and there will be no cost to any of its clients unless damages are recovered on their behalf. A total of 19 Virginia jurisdictions have so far filed similar lawsuits with the help of the firms, Miller said. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

Sheriff’s office reclaims history with 1966 Ford Galaxie By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
In the center of the then-and-now department of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office stands a 1966 Ford Galaxie four-door sedan. It’s a close cousin to the first vehicle ever operated by Fauquier’s finest, which was a 1965 Ford sedan donated by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wachmeister for the department’s use. A photo was taken of that car back then, snapped in front of Warrenton’s historic courthouse. Standing tall behind the smiling folks in the picture is the 90-year-old elm tree that has recently been labeled a safety hazard because its structure is unsound. The tree will soon be taken down. In an effort to preserve this piece of history before the tree is removed, Sheriff Bob Mosier — a vintage car buff himself — wanted to recreate
the photo from the 1960s, replacing the 1965 sedan with the restored 1966 version. Fauquier Sheriff’s Office Sgt. James Hartman said that the only difference between the two … “is the ’66 has a different front grill. Basically, you can’t tell the difference unless someone is an aficionado.”
Recovering history
Hartman said the search began in 2017 for a 1965 Ford Galaxie like the one in the photo. “We found this car in Huntersville, North Carolina,” he said. “An anonymous donor came forward and bought the car for us and donated it to the Fauquier County History Museum at the Old Jail,” he said. “…After the negotiation and paperwork were done, we set off to Huntersville in a borrowed truck and trailer and brought the car home to Warrenton the next day.”
This car was manufactured in Norfolk, in late 1965. Hartman said, “It was purchased at a Hampton Roads dealership by a local man. About a year later, it was sold to a gentleman in Huntersville and he had driven it for many years. This gentleman passed away and his son inherited the car and eventually decided to sell it. You might say we brought it back home to Virginia.” Hartman said, “The car is in very good condition except for the interior. A Manassas restoration shop has donated a lot of time and money, helping restore this car. They did the body work and paint, some wiring and other things.” He added, “A local shop in Fauquier donated some mechanical work and a new battery; another local shop has donated a lot of time and money in mechanical work. Another donated
the lettering on the vehicle,” which included a sheriff’s star. “This car is almost ready to go but we need to help the museum raise about $5,000 to get the last step completed; the interior needs to be restored,” he added. “Once that is done and the car is mechanically sound, the plan is that the museum will eventually donate the car to the sheriff’s office. We will make it a part of the fleet.” Sheriff Bob Mosier said he is looking forward to having the project complete. The car will be used for parades, car shows, public events, etc., he said. “It’s a great way to connect with kids and others, a great public relations tool to connect with citizens.” Hartman emphasized that no government funds were spent on the project. “All parts, labor and time has been donated, and the car is currently the property of the museum.”
Warrenton police officer is acquitted in assault
ASSAULT, from Page 1
“The court finds Ms. Abshire’s testimony compelling in that the parties were apparently engaged in horseplay and that she believed the defendant did not intend to strike her forcefully. The striking was at most negligent or accidental, and as such, cannot be the basis of a criminal conviction,” Ashwell wrote in the ruling. Ferguson, an officer, has been on paid administrative leave since the incident at Fat Tuesday’s on Sept. 19. What some witnesses described as playful shadow boxing between Abshire and FerCARL guson ended with a broken nose FERGUSON and blackened eye for the woman and the officer being charged. A friend of Abshire’s, as well as three Warrenton police officers and a bar worker — all of whom were present during the incident — also testified at last Friday’s hearing. Warrenton Police Cpl. Christopher Campbell testified he was the designated driver accompanying a group of officers out that night. Ferguson met up with the group at Fat Tuesday’s. Campbell said he saw Ferguson “appear to throw a punch and make a connection” with Abshire. Campbell said he went over to help her and that she
declined his offer to call the rescue squad. Abshire said she was talking to Ferguson before the blow was struck. “I don’t know exactly what happened before the incident. I had my hands up and stepped back. We were [each] pretending to defend ourselves” from the other, Abshire said. “We weren’t throwing punches. We were joking around and covering up” our faces, Abshire said, as she demonstrated. Abshire’s friend, Leah Leszcynski, said “I don’t believe she threw any punches.” “We were both kind of going back and forth,” Ferguson said when he was called to the stand. He said he stepped back and extended his arm at a moment when Abshire came forward. He said he didn’t intend to hit her. But Ferguson connected with her. Abshire testified that “it was enough to break my nose and blacken my eye. He apologized and he asked if I was going to press charges. I said ‘no.’ He paid my bar tab.” Ferguson said he apologized “two or three times” afterward and that they continued to talk afterward. “I feel bad for hitting her,” Ferguson said. “I don’t go around punching people, let alone females.” Under questioning from the prosecutor, Ferguson said he had had four drinks before the incident. Abshire said she just noticed “a nick on my nose” just after being struck but that “I woke up the next morning with a black eye.” She said she then called her lawyer. “If my nose was broken, I wanted compensation.”
She said she went to a doctor a week after the incident and then to a radiologist who confirmed her nose was broken. Fauquier Commonwealth’s Attorney James P. Fisher requested an investigation of the incident by the Virginia State Police, which reported in its findings that Ferguson “punched the female one time in the face,” Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Peters said in December. The commonwealth’s attorney office then filed the charge against Ferguson. Scott Hook, Ferguson’s attorney, characterized the incident during a closing statement as “two people who had too much to drink deciding to shadow box.” But Angela Vernail, senior assistant commonwealth’s attorney in Loudoun County, (the special prosecutor assigned to the case), said she found Campbell’s testimony about seeing Ferguson with a “closed fist purposely moving forward” toward Abshire “the most truthful.” A special prosecutor was assigned to the case, Peters explained in an email, because several town police officers would be testifying, raising “sufficient concerns about the perceived impartiality and objectivity of the local commonwealth’s attorney office prosecuting the defendant. Regardless of the outcome, the confidence of the community in a fair and impartial prosecution and trial is paramount.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Town budget proposes steady tax rate, staff raises By James Ivancic
to the Timber Fence Trail and Tarr Park, and purchase of a splash pad for the WARF.
Times Staff Writer
The Warrenton Town Council will consider a fiscal year 2020 budget of $25.98 million; that’s 24 percent less than the current one because $10 million less will be spent on capital improvements. The real-estate tax rate would stay at the current 5 cents per $100 of assessed value in the budget proposed by Interim Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer, but she proposes a 5 percent fee increase at the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility. A slight water and sewer rate increase is also proposed. An in-town residential customer using 2,000 gallons of water per month will see a 13-cent monthly increase in the bill. “Council will need to examine additional sources of revenue or anticipate lower levels of service for town residents in the coming years,” Schaeffer said in her cover letter accompanying the proposed budget. “Long term, I think some things will have to be put on hold” in the absence of additional revenue, Schaeffer added during an interview. The desire to keep taxes low makes it harder to be competitive with towns like Culpeper in providing services, she noted. The overall proposed general fund budget is up 12.4 percent, as the town looks to deal with deferred maintenance needs and upgrades of equipment and information technology. An average 3 percent merit increase for town employees is in the proposal.
Balanced budget
Source: Town of Warrenton The hiring of a full-time information technology staff member has been proposed. That person will work with the town police department on that department’s IT needs. The hiring of an additional water/wastewater treatment plant operator and an increase of a current employee from part-time to full-time status are proposed to meet regulatory staffing requirements.
Capital improvements
Projects in excess of $10,000 are capital improvements. They can include vehicle purchases, infrastructure improvements or other one-time costs. For instance, upgrading the town’s accounting software will cost an estimated $500,000. The current software dates to 1996, Schaeffer noted. Other proposed capital improvements include the purchase of a hybrid vehicle, improvements
The proposed budget is balanced. A 4.3 percent increase in general fund revenue is expected during the next fiscal year, despite town council lowering the business services and professional services portions of the Business, Professional, Occupational License rate by 10 percent for FY 2019. The decrease has cut BPOL revenue by $137,941. The budget proposal includes $1.2 million to retrofit the current town hall or for a move of town offices elsewhere. No study is underway, and no decision has been made on options. “We’ve been here for over 50 years,” Schaeffer said, referring to the former bank building used for town administrative offices. Town council and other boards meet there as well, but audience seating can’t accommodate a large crowd. The budget proposal is on the town’s website, warrentonva.gov, accessible under the government heading. Town council members will receive a budget presentation at 7 p.m. Thursday during a work session at town hall, 18 Court St. A public hearing to hear comments about the proposed budget is scheduled for 7 p.m., May 14. Council will vote to approve the budget at a 7 p.m. meeting on June 11. In between, council will hold work sessions at 7 p.m., April 22 and May 2, as well as on May 23 if needed.

Fauquier supervisors approve budget and capital improvements Teachers and county employees will see raises; new staff approved for public safety departments By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors put to rest another budget process March 21 by unanimously approving $330.8 million for fiscal year 2020. The school division will receive the funds it asked for, and the fire and safety division and sheriff’s office will be able to hire more staff. General fund expenditures total $189.35 million, an increase of $5.3 million over the current budget. The increase includes an additional $3.84 million in local support to the school division. County employees will get a 2 percent pay increase. The real estate tax rate was left unchanged, but the board approved a 1.2 cent increase in the fire and rescue levy that will increase the average homeowner’s tax bill by $45 per year. Center District Supervisor Chris
Granger noted that the fire and safety staffing increase allows for a “huge service improvement to the citizens of the county over where it was four years ago,” by extending staffing of stations to seven days. The sheriff’s office will be able to hire a crime analyst with the funds received, he said. The budget also makes teacher salaries more competitive with surrounding districts. “I hope you see that we care,” said Cedar Run District Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, addressing two members of the Fauquier Teachers Association who were present for the budget vote. Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Butler added, “Stay on the school board as well. We can’t tell them how to spend it. Thank you for coming out, and for your perseverance.” A sea of teachers wearing red T-shirts dominated the audience of the public hearing held on the budget March 12. Most of the comments that night urged the supervisors to fully fund the budget request of schools Superintendent David Jeck and the school board. After the budget vote, Jen McIntyre, president of the teachers association, said that “there is still work
to do.” She expressed thanks for the supervisors’ comments and the “positive” outcome this year.
Capital improvement projects
The board also approved $8.1 million in funding for capital projects, including $200,000 for ball fields, trails and playground renovations/upgrades; $200,000 for the Rappahannock Station park project; $828,000 for environmental services projects, and $5.7 million for utility and infrastructure projects — including $4 million for broadband infrastructure and $40,000 as local grant-matching funds to expand and improve the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport. There is also $1 million for the renovation and expansion of Cedar Lee Middle School in Bealeton. In a separate action, the board approved a resolution in support of the conceptual plan for Cedar Lee. Expanding Cedar Lee to accommodate 200 more students will cost an estimated $10 million. The initial $1 million is budgeted for the 2020 fiscal year, with $9 million pegged for the 2021 fiscal year. The same resolution also calls for repurposing either Taylor or Warren-
ton middle schools. A decision has yet to be made about which building will continue to operate as a school; that facility will be renovated and possibly expanded. The supervisors also approved a resolution that authorizes putting up the Alice Jane Childs Building, the sheriff’s office building, the adult detention center and the evidence storage building as collateral to finance the construction of the Central Sports Complex. Supervisor Chris Butler, Lee District, recused himself from voting because his employer, S.W. Rodgers, is the general contractor on the Central Sports Complex project. The 2020 fiscal year starts July 1. Information about the FY 2020 budget process, the proposed budget document, and a summary of the FY 2020 adopted budget are available on the Fauquier County website at http://www.fauquiercounty.gov/government/departments-h-z/management-and-budget. The detailed FY 2020 adopted budget will be posted on the Fauquier County website in June. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL Every Monday at 6 p.m., a group of cyclists sets off from the Bike Stop on Main Street in Warrenton for a late afternoon ride. Here are some of them, heading down Main Street toward the Greenway.
Sharing the road: Cyclists offer tips for riding safely
CYCLIST, from Page 1
“Pick routes where you have an understanding of the road conditions,” said Brian Larson, manager of the Bike Stop in Warrenton. Rainslicked or snowy conditions, wind, time of day should influence where and when a rider decides to ride. “Factor in the type of road and where. If it’s winter, it can be a lot more difficult to ride on a paved road rather than a gravel road,” he added. The Bike Stop at 19 Main St. sells bikes and accessories and serves as the stepping-off point for a group of cyclists that leaves from there every Monday at 6 p.m. for a ride. Cycling with a group or with at least one other person is a good idea, Larson said, since a pack of riders stands out. “There’s safety in numbers. You’re like a herd of zebras” huddling together, he explained. A rider in the group can also announce to the others “car front” or “car back” to alert them when a vehicle is near. Riders in a group riding abreast should move into a “single up” line when a car is in sight, to give a motorist more room to pass, Larson said. Wearing highly visible clothing — bright and/or reflective — helps too. Larson said there are yellow “booties” that fit over the shoes that make the rider stand out. Putting blinking lights on the bike is another good idea. Another local bike shop owner suggested that cyclists need to be smart about where they choose to ride. “I tend not to ride on Halfway
Road, it’s too twisty,” said Jared Nieters about the road where the March 24 collision occurred. Nieters rides competitively and operates bikes shops in Haymarket, The Plains and Culpeper. “My concern is that there is victim blaming of the person riding” when a bike-car accident occurs, Nieters said. “When a person riding is getting hit by a car, I have a hard time finding that it is [the bike rider’s] fault.” But he knows cyclists can make it hard for motorists by sometimes taking up more of the road than they need to. He said his shops have copies of the rules of the road to hand out to cyclists. Nieters drives to work and he’s found himself behind cyclists too. “Every time I’ve had to wait [for a safe place to pass] it’s been not even 30 seconds,” Nieters said. “People can get furious if they have to wait less than 30 seconds. I’ve even seen drivers willing to stop and argue with a cyclist about access to the road. “People get furious, but it’s really misplaced. I’ve had to wait on [Route] 55 at the construction entrance to Amazon, but I don’t leave completely outraged.” He sees a double standard among drivers who text while driving or who travel above the speed limit, while expecting bicyclists to strictly adhere to the law. “Do I think everybody should be responsible? Yes. There need to be responsible riders, tractor drivers and horse riders. We’re all part of the community using these roads,” said Nieters. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Capitol Hill veteran named director of Great Meadow By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
A week after Rob Banner resigned as its president on March 25, the Great Meadow Foundation announced Monday that veteran Capitol Hill administrator Kelicia Rice will replace him. She was named executive director of the nonprofit organization and will head its professional staff starting on April 8. Rice, 37, a Texas native who now lives in The Plains, has been serving as deputy chief of staff KELICIA RICE for Congressman John Carter (R-Texas) since August 2017. She also held the same position for Congressman Hal Rogers (R-Kentucky) and from 2007 through January 2009, she was deputy director of scheduling for then-Vice President Dick Cheney. Great Meadow, a sprawling 380acre property in The Plains, is the venue for numerous events, including the upcoming Virginia Gold Cup races on May 4. The Great Meadow Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission reads: “dedicated to preserving open space for public enjoyment, nonprof-
it events, community service and equestrian sports.” Banner announced his own resignation last week after 11 years as president. Previously, he served 17 years on its board. Rice, a polo enthusiast, was not immediately available to comment about her new position, which was announced in a news release from the foundation late Monday afternoon. John Hochheimer, chairman of the board for the foundation, was not available to comment.
Rob Banner’s legacy
In the release, Hochheimer praised Banner for his work at Great Meadow. “The board and I are thankful for Rob’s years of service and leadership,” he said. “We understand and support Rob’s decision to step down in pursuit of other ventures and we are grateful for his many accomplishments. We wish him the best in his new position.” Banner has accepted an offer to join ACRE Investment based in The Plains, an environmental company involved with re-forestation and the use of carbon credits for such efforts. His resignation came less than two months after the Great Meadow board, in a controversial move, voted out its previous board chairman, Cate Magennis Wyatt; the election that was not on the agenda for that Jan. 30 meeting. At the time, Wyatt described it as “an ambush.” Hoch-
ROB BANNER heimer was then elected chairman. Banner, who did not have a vote in that process, said his decision to leave was “not at all” related to Wyatt’s ouster but was based on “a great opportunity.” “Every once in a while, you get a chance to re-invent yourself, and this is one of those times,” he said in a telephone interview, adding that Great Meadow “has always been a volatile place, one way or another. I don’t want to comment on what happened to Cate, but me leaving wasn’t because of that.” Banner said, “I guess I’ve done what I came to do. When I took the job, I never thought I’d get all of it

done, and at times it seems like I wouldn’t get it done. But the skies parted, and it happened.” In a separate letter he sent to the Fauquier Times announcing his departure, Banner said, “The complexion of the board has changed dramatically since I stepped off the board. Rather than debate what to do next, I will leave the future in their hands.” In the letter, Banner set out a timeline of his work at Great Meadow and elaborated on what he believes the foundation achieved on his watch. Banner recounted his move to expand Great Meadow by raising money to buy an adjacent property, which became home to a new eventing course. He said he also helped negotiate a contract with Verizon to build a cell tower on the property, disguised as a silo, and garnered $250,000 in state tourism funds. “At the same time, I became president of Great Meadow, Henry A. ‘Buzz’ Kievenaar had become chairman (of the board). Together, we worked hard to retire debt and stabilize operational profit. When things became stable, [Great Meadow founder Arthur W. ‘Nick’] On his plans to join ACRE, Banner said, “I feel like Robbie Appleseed sometimes. I feel very positive about what I’m going to be doing. It’s really a fantastic thing.” Reach Leonard Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com

U.S. 29 contract set to be awarded April 10 By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
A contract to cut the hills on U.S. 29 near the intersection with Vint Hill Road could be awarded on April 10. Chemung Contracting Corp. of Mitchells, in Culpeper County submitted the sole bid when the Virginia Department of Transportation advertised. It bid roughly $3.5 million to reduce the height of hills that limit the view of drivers traveling north to the intersection with a traffic light at Vint Hill Road (Va. 215). The work will require the closure of northbound lanes for three weeks, starting July 8 and ending Aug. 2. Chemung will receive a $150,000 incentive payment if it finishes the project early. Completion of the project is set for Sept. 30. Chemung’s bid came in under the estimated project cost. Four other companies had expressed interest but ultimately didn’t bid on the project. “It has a hard-earned reputation as a quality construction company,” said Garrett Moore, VDOT’s chief engineer, about Chemung. The Commonwealth Transportation Board is expected
to award the contract on April 10. Moore provided an update of the project during the March 28 meeting of the U.S. 29 New Baltimore Advisory Panel, a group representing businesses, residents, schools and others with an interest in making the road safer. VDOT has already posted electronic signs on U.S. 29 announcing the planned closure of northbound U.S. 29 lanes. “The goal is to get as much traffic going up [Route] 17 to [Interstate] 66 as possible,” explained Mark Nesbit, an engineer in charge of VDOT’s Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock region. The intersection of U.S. 29 and Vint Hill Road won’t be closed during the work. A “maintenance of traffic plan” to guide local traffic is being developed. Truckers and drivers passing through the area will be encouraged to use U.S. 17. Except for local deliveries, a restriction on truck traffic will be in place for Blantyre, Old Tavern and Beverleys Mill/Broad Run Church. There will be a safety service patrol on U.S. 17 to get aid to drivers of disabled vehicles quickly. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
Freemans Ford intersection meeting set for April 22
A public meeting to explain planned intersection changes at Freemans Ford Road and U.S. 15/29 has been scheduled for 7 p.m. on April 22 at the Remington Lions Club, 11326 James Madison Highway, Bealeton. Plans, crash data and a simulation of how traffic would move through the intersection will be presented, according to County Supervisor Chris Butler, who represents the Remington area in Lee District. Virginia Department of Trans-
portation staff will make the presentation. The meeting was arranged after public comments to the Remington town council caused the council to withdraw its support earlier this year. Residents felt that the plan would make the intersection less safe. The intersection is outside the town limits so the council’s withdrawing support is largely symbolic. Collisions at the intersection claimed three lives during 2016 and
2017. The county sought the project and state funding to address safety concerns. The estimated $7 million project would remove the traffic light at the intersection and restrict crossings that would require U-turns. The project’s chances of proceeding improved in January when VDOT staff recommended it for funding. The final decision on the plan will be made by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in June.

Bealeton man accused of possession of child pornography Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman reported that county detectives charged Ryan M. Fogle, 21, of Bealeton, with 10 counts of possession of child pornography on T hu rsd ay, March 28. Fogle was held on a $10,000 bond at the time of RYAN FOGLE his arrest. Hartman said that the investigation began when detectives working on the Internet Crimes Against Children task force were notified by the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children that possible child pornography images had been detected on a Tumblr account and email address. The investigation led to an address in the Bealeton area, Hartman said. He reported that a search warrant was conducted and electronic devices were seized. After a forensic examination of the electronic devices, evidence was gathered to obtain warrants, he said. Detectives assigned to the ICAC task force work with federal and state law enforcement partners to investigate crimes against children in Fauquier County and in the region, said Hartman.
Suspicious behavior leads to arrest According to a report from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, on Sunday, March 31, at 3:20 p.m., the county communications center received a call about a suspicious person at the Bealeton Village Shopping Center on Marsh Road. Deputies located the individual, said the report, and they observed him jumping up and down, dancing and singing outside a store window. According to police spokesman Sgt. James Hartman, “the individual ap-
peared to be under the influence of a narcotic. He was identified as Kenneth Gardner,” 32. He is listed with a Bealeton address, he said. Hartman said that police searched Gardner and a substance was found in his pocket that field tested for cocaine. He added that Gardner was placed under arrest and a magistrate issued a warrant for possession of a schedule I or II substance. Gardner was held on a $3,000 secured bond, said Hartman.
Sheriff: Fredericksburg woman charged with prostitution at Fauquier hotel A Fredericksburg woman was arrested and charged with prostitution Thursday after she met with an undercover detective in a local hotel room, said Sgt. James Hartman, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. He said in a press release that it is alleged that Lacey Kim Dawkins, 34, of Fredericksburg, willingly travelled to Fauquier Coun-
ty from the Fredericksburg area for the purpose of having sex for money. The activity was discovered during a proactive investigation conducted by the sheriff’s office to learn the potential for human trafficking in Fauquier County, said Hartman. He clarified that Dawkins is not believed to be a victim of human trafficking.
Warrenton man arrested on drug charge A Warrenton man was arrested Thursday for possession and distribution of crack cocaine, according to the Fauquier County SherSHABUA MACK iff’s Office. KENNY After executing a search warrant at a home on Louis Street at about 8 p.m. Thursday, March 28, deputies arrested Shabua Mack Kenny, 42, of Warrenton,
on charges of possession and distribution of cocaine, Sgt. James Hartman, sheriff’s office spokesman, said in a news release. Deputies seized about 11 grams of crack cocaine with a street value of about $2,200, Hartman said. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies worked on the investigation with the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force, Hartman said. Kenny was being held without bond Friday at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center, Hartman said.

The Open Book sign is just fine The owners of the new bookstore at 104 Main St. put up a sign on the outside face of the building in time for the store’s grand opening on March 22, with permission. The Warrenton Architectural Review Board, which reviews plans for new construction or changes to existing structures within the historic district, determined at its meeting on March 28 that the sign complies with guidelines for design, color and material and issued a certificate of appropriateness. The sign is affixed to mortar rather than the brick face of the building. Chris Granger, who has a stake in the new venture, said an idea for a projecting sign will be presented to the ARB before formal approval is sought. The projecting sign could look like a book, he said. TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC

It’s past time to enact distracted driving legislation
Just a few weeks ago, we listed Virginia finally moving to make holding a cellphone while driving a primary offense among the wins for a stormy legislative session. Similar bills had passed in both the House and Senate banning drivers from holding cellphones — a restriction designed to make enforcement easier for police. Given the history of this issue in the commonwealth, we shouldn’t have been surprised that the move was scuppered in the closing days of the session, as some sought to amend the bill to allow holding a phone while on a call. Under current law, only drivers under the age of 18 are prohibited from using cellphones, including hands-free devices. Those 18 and older may use their cellphones. Texting while driving is prohibited for all ages but is difficult to enforce. Unable to find a compromise on language before the end of the session, lawmakers failed for the second straight year to enact distracted-driving legislation. Virginia remains the only state in the region without such a law. Last week, at the urging of American Automobile Association, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced an amendment to a work-zone safety bill that would have banned holding cellphones while driving. Northam’s amendment looked to give distracted driving legislation a second chance this year, but advocates shouldn’t get their hopes up. House Speaker Kirk Cox’s office said Friday the speaker believes the amendment is out of order. This would effectively kill it before a vote when lawmakers return Wednesday, April 3, for their annual veto session. His office stressed it was a procedural decision, not based on the merits of the proposal. While we do not disagree with the speaker’s likely ruling on the amendment, we stress again it is well past time for Virginia to enact distracted driving legislation, and lament our elected representatives’ failure to do so in the recent legislative session. In 2016 alone, 3,450 people were killed and 391,000 were injured in motor-vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers, according to statistics reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. During daylight hours, approximately 481,000 drivers are using cellphones while driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control, sending or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for about five seconds. At 55 mph, that’s long enough to cover a football field. Studies have shown that cellphone drivers exhibit greater impairment than drunk drivers. Today’s drivers face an increasing number of distractions behind the wheel. Conveniences like navigation, infotainment systems and Bluetooth have been added to the radios and climate controls of old. And while each offers new opportunities to take a driver’s eye off the road, the National Safety Council says 53 percent of drivers wrongly believe these technologies are put into vehicles not out of convenience, but to make them safer. Most of us have followed a car drifting and weaving on the road, and assumed the driver was impaired or falling asleep. We may have been surprised to find the driver was actually fiddling with something in the car or on a cellphone. And before we say, “that’s them, not me,” think about the last time you heard the ding of a text message and reached for the phone, thinking, “I’ll just glance at it.” Remember, the brain doesn’t really multitask. In such conditions, not taking a hand off the wheel to manipulate and hold a phone while hurtling 3,000 to 6,000 pounds of metal down the road at speeds approaching 70 mph should be a no-brainer. While we always advocate for individual rights, we also champion responsibility. Law enforcement must have the ability to help prevent driver distractions that put us, our families and our children at risk. To that end, we firmly believe our legislators need to resolve their differences and enact hands-free driving laws ASAP.
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES Kirby’s Downtown Store was a fixture on Main Street for many years. Proprietor was Willard Kirby, who returned to Warrenton after serving in WWII to work there, and later bought the business. The former BB&T building now stands on the site. 75 Years Ago April 6, 1944 One of Warrenton’s important commercial properties, about an acre of improved real estate at the corner of Waterloo Street-Bypass intersection, changed hands this week. The property, the site of the Robert E. Lee Hotel and Restaurant and Mills and Compton Service Station, was sold by Charles T. Grant to Tom Frost, Warrenton Dodge and Plymouth dealer, for an undisclosed sum. Pvt. J. H. Bartenstein writes that he’s been transferred from Ft. Benning to Camp Livingston, La., where he is in the 341st Infantry. “I’m now back in the infantry,” he writes. “I like it even if there is a lot of walking. The food is good, and the officers and noncommissioned officers are fine men.” 50 Years Ago April 3, 1969 Leslie Cheek Jr., former director of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and his wife will be judges at this year’s Neighborhood Art Show at Grace Episcopal Church, The Plains. A record number of entries are expected at the show, which runs May 9 to 12. Rezoning has been recommended by the Planning Commission for construction of a shopping center on a 19.5-acre tract on U.S. 17 in Marshall, next to the livestock sales yard.
Sp4 John William Cubbage, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Cubbage of Warrenton, will leave April 7 for a year’s duty in Vietnam. Arthur H.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Portnoy of Warrenton. 25 Years Ago April 6, 1994 In a front-page editorial, Fauquier Times-Democrat Publisher Arthur W. Arundel addressed the ongoing controversy regarding the Disney’s America theme park. “Few are those who have no strong opinion on the issue, for or against Disney’s coming,” he wrote. “I am no exception, with a secret passion for taking kids to Disney world and an equal passion for preserving this God-given open countryside.” Jockey Woods Winants was photographed with Redskins and racehorse owner Jack Kent Cooke and Marlene Chambers at the Orange County Hunt Point-to-Point near Middleburg on Saturday.

Making the most of life, for more than a century
Some people say they don’t want to live to be old. Well, I met a dear sweet lady about three or four months ago. Her name is Vernal Weaver; she is 101 as of April 1, 2019. Yes, she was an April Fools baby. She was born in Richmond County, Virginia. And can still do for herself, even iron her clothes. She goes to church every chance she gets and loves just to go for rides. Several of our presidents have
sent her letters wishing her birthday wishes. Mrs. Weaver has met and talked to several famous people. One of her famous ones was Marian Anderson, who some of us don’t remember. She loved to dance and got a chance to dance in the White House ballroom. Mrs. Weaver grew up poor like most everyone did in her century, had a hard life, but is still living. She was given a nickname of Lit-
tle Brown Bomber, like Joe Lewis. She told me she wasn’t afraid of anything except a skunk. Wished we could all live to be 101 and in good health as her. I believe God is her answer of living that old as he has seen her through a lot. Happy birthday.
In response to the letter in the March 13th edition of your newspaper regarding the American f lag and [President] Donald Trump … I was saddened by the anger of the writer. I was moved to tears when I saw the president of the United States hug the f lag. It was a beautiful moment that will stay in my
heart, and the heart of my father (a 95-year old World War II vet), and the heart of my husband (a U.S. Coast Guard veteran). I honestly feel that the pride in our f lag, our country and our president displayed by my family and the fans at CPAC should NOT be considered as “madness.” A little joyous enthusiasm should not mistaken
for serious mental problems as the writer suggested. A little bit of love and understanding goes a long way … And perhaps a cup of hot tea … We all must learn to get live, love and get along.

Remington celebrates Vietnam Veterans Day Remington celebrated National Vietnam War Veterans Day in a big way on Saturday, March 30. A 5K run, a 1-mile run and a walk with heroes was held to support Hero’s Bridge, a nonprofit that serves the ongoing needs of aging veterans in Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. Joe “Rooster” Robert, from the Bealeton/Midland area, is national Sergeant of Arms for the Men of War Motorcycle Club. He was present with some members of his Grey Ghost chapter. They were creating dog tags for family members of veterans who have died. “We make two of each,” said Robert. “The family member keeps one and we ask them to hang one on our cross. Sometimes the family member says they can’t do it, so we hang it for them. We say a little prayer and hang it on our cross.” Men of War, he said, raises awareness of veterans issues including veteran suicide, post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. The website for the group is menofwarmc.org or menofwarmc.com. Men of War members are all veterans and come from all branches of the military. Robert said that his

Taylor Middle students collect oral histories at local memory care facility By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer
Marilynn Beck, 66, sat at a table at Poet’s Walk last week as four young men took turns asking her questions about her life. Poet’s Walk, at 33 Woodlands Way in Warrenton, is an assisted living facility for elders with dementia. Beck was one of 12 residents who had made themselves available over a two-day period to be interviewed by the Taylor Middle School eighth-graders — all 168 of them. Students clustered — four students to one resident — at tables and sofas throughout the facility’s clubby-looking lounge. Robert Maldonado, 14; Bradley Gallagher, 14; Brendon O’Hara, 14; and Thanuwat Kraiwan, 13, were at Marilynn Beck’s table with their recording gear. Kraiwan took the lead. “I need to clip this microphone on,” he said, gently attaching a Lavalier to her collar. But the little microphone wouldn’t stay clipped, so he held it, mid-table. “Where were you born, and where did you grow up,” Gallagher asked, reading from a laptop screen. “I was born in Charlestown, West Virginia,” Beck said. “I had five sisters and one brother. We were very hard on our brother.” The boys smiled and nodded. The group was using an app called StoryCorps, a program that helps to “record and preserve the stories all
around you.” If desired, finished recordings go directly to the Library of Congress, which is collecting an “archive of the wisdom of humanity.” These 8th-graders intend to edit the material and send it to the library for posterity. They will also deliver a keepsake copy to each senior participant. “The goal was to make a permanent recording so the families of the residents would always have the story of their family member, and to record the story for the world to know that these people matter … that every life matters,” Taylor Middle School English Department Chair, Cathleen Beachboard, said the next day. Beachboard, 36, is a 13-year veteran teacher; she has been at Taylor for two years. “We have a focus on service-learning at Taylor,” the teacher explained. I let my students choose community problems they want to tackle, and they chose [the fact] that the older generations seem to get isolated and forgotten.” Beachboard said the class wanted to focus on how much can be learned from elder generations. “Students wanted to increase the quality of life for the residents by being joyful visitors. Once they started volunteering, they discovered that their senior citizens with dementia and Alzheimer’s are losing their memory. The kids knew they could not stop the progression of the disease but they could give

Be still my heart
“What are some of the great things you have done in your life?” One of the boys had asked Beck. She was laughing. “Well, I didn’t do anything that great,” she said. “What did you do around the house?” another asked. “Oh there was lots to do. The grass, babysitting. We had a dog and a goat. We didn’t like the goat much. We did whatever we were asked to do. And there was no fussing about it.” “How many children do you have?“ Beck was asked. “Uh, three, and seven, and um… We were five girls and one boy. And, did we give our brother trouble.” The boys didn’t miss a beat. They smiled. They nodded. When the boys had run out of questions, Beck returned the favor.
“What subjects are you into?” “I like geography and math,” one answered. “I like math, science and technology,” another replied. “Oh, you have all the bases covered,” Beck replied. “In my day, we didn’t have all the choices you have.” “Always listen to your parents, because they have your best interests at heart,” Beck said. “Everything they do is for us,” Kraiwan said. “Exactly,” Beck said. “My children are all grown up now,” Beck went on. “One has started a family. But you boys, don’t do that too soon,” Beck admonished. “That’s expensive,” one of them said. “Yes, it is,” replied Beck. Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

That’s good news for the Virginia wine industry that is currently experiencing a shortage of grapes statewide. Bill DeWitt will continue to grow his landscaping business, Community Landscape Services, based in Sterling, while Michelle DeWitt manages the brewery. In keeping with their “Let’s share our good fortune” philosophy, the brewery sponsors four major fundraisers annually. One in May will support the Sweet Julia Grace Foundation. The organization supports families who are dealing with the heartache of caring for a terminally ill child. On June 8, there will be a series of
bike rides emanating from the brewery to raise money for Serve Our Willing Warriors. The organization operates the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run that offers a beautiful home to qualified veterans and their families in need of a much-earned convalescing and pampering vacation. To further add to the excitement, the blended DeWitt family of six is soon to embark on another life experience: becoming empty nesters. “Our youngest is about to finish high school and we are excited,” said DeWitt. Probably because it will open up even more time to building their adult Disney World. In reflecting on the success of their plant-based kingdom, Michelle DeWitt says, “I love agriculture and the brewery was a natural transition for us. It’s a fun business. It’s new and exciting every day. I’m blessed to make beer for a living.” The Farm Brewery at Broad Run is at 16015 John Marshall Highway.

Staying in our lane until invited into another’s U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON He has just left my office, this dapper gentleman of 70 with a doctorate in applied science. But what he said will stay with me for some time to come: “Our society treats aging like it’s some great moral failing.” I hadn’t ever put it in such elegant or concise terms, but I have seen it too, this pervasive notion that if you’re old, or sick – or, heaven forbid, old and sick – you have done something deeply and morally wrong. It is far outside my area of proficiency to comment on the complex interactions between mental, physical, and spiritual health. But as one who deals with a health condition, I can comment on how it feels to be the recipient of judgmentalism and unsolicited advice. It feels like one is being blamed for one’s condition. It feels like one is being told, “If you were to just try harder, you wouldn’t be experienc-
ing this.” It feels like the advice-giver is assuming a position of moral superiority and that you are being implicated in some heinous crime. In other words, it feels bad. Personally, I choose to assume unasked-for advice comes from a place of concern, and that the advice-giver is wishing to help. But I also understand when the recipient of unsolicited advice snaps, and fires back a retort – I’ve seen it happen. I’ve also seen the advice-giver do an eyeroll, as though to say, “When you start heeding my advice, you’ll finally put this suffering behind you.” And it’s not just physical illness that provokes unsought advice. I have seen the aging subjected to similarly judgmental input. Without question, lifestyle choices factor into wellness, but that’s not the whole story. The rest of the story is people get old; people get sick; bodies break down – maybe not at the same rate, certainly, but it’s just the way the world works. In the voice of my dapper gentleman, self-deprecating humor and irony were clear. But I thought I heard something else. Weariness with the judginess and self-righteousness that can accompany interactions with the young and the well?

It may be too much to ask that we all agree on all points. But perhaps we can at least adhere to the Golden Rule and its corollary: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; but also, say unto others what you would have them say unto you. Or, as others might put it, let us try to stay in our own lane until invited into another’s. As a reverse mortgage specialist, every day of the week I speak with homeowners who have health concerns, or financial ...concerns…or health and financial concerns. As frequently as I hear these first-person accounts of the challenges of aging in America, these stories never fail to move me. And then there is the same question: “do you think a reverse mortgage might help in our situation?” There is never a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Financial needs vary. Every couple’s circumstances are a bit different. Timing is important, as are long-term goals. But this much is certain: With longevity being what it is, none of us is likely to get by on just our Social Security. Few will survive on just an IRA, a 401(k), or pension – or, for that matter, on a reverse mortgage. But when added together, all these
can contribute to financial health in retirement. A reverse mortgage is not a fit for everyone – no one financial product is. But a reverse mortgage is going to play an important role in many homeowners’ financial wellness in the retirement years, particularly when used as part of a sound, longterm retirement plan. If you would like to discuss your financial needs, or those of a loved one, give me a call. I always love hearing from you.

Leach’s bat helps Eagles end nine-game baseball losing streak vs. Falcons By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
The Liberty and Fauquier baseball rivalry hasn’t been kind to the Eagles in recent years, and the early innings Friday were reminiscent of that. But timely hitting, clutch defense and a dazzling turnaround on the mound helped Liberty change its fate against the Falcons in Bealeton. Sophomore Sammy Leach banged in three RBIs and junior pitcher Colby Neal retired 10 consecutive batters to help the Eagles rally from a three-run deficit for a 5-3 victory that broke a nine-game losing streak to Fauquier. Liberty last beat the Falcons on May 17, 2014. “This is a huge win,” Eagles coach Tom Determan said. “This is the kind of win that makes us realize we are going to be able to compete with anybody that we play.” Fauquier, which advanced to the Class 4 state semifinals last season, fell to 1-3 this season (0-2 Class 4 Northwestern District) while Liberty improved to 4-4 (1-2). The Falcons took a 3-0 lead Friday by the end of the second inning, but Liberty tied the score with a threerun third inning. Then John Untiedt led off the fourth inning with a double, setting up Rock Hockman for an RBI single that proved to be the winning run. Moments later, Leach hit another RBI single to give Neal a two-run cushion on the mound. So Neal and closing pitcher John Kuhler allowed only one base runner over the final four innings (walk) after the Eagles had tied the score 3-3. “It was really just about keeping the positive energy,” junior catcher Logan Rodney said of Neal’s turnaround performance. “Then you are never out of the game. “I just told Colby to pound the zone and get ahead,” Rodney said. “I told him to switch his windup a

He also played a significant role offensively, going 2-for-2 with two runs. Neal led off the bottom of the third inning with a single, followed by a double from Rock Hockman (3for-3, RBI, run, double, steal) and a walk from Rodney. That set the table for Leach, whose two-run single cut Liberty’s deficit to 3-2. “A big hit,” Determan said. “That definitely gave us a boost.” Leach agreed. “The momentum changed a lot

The expected girls tennis battle between Fauquier and Sherando was more of skirmish. Fauquier swept all six singles and three doubles matches in shellacking the visiting Warriors 9-0.

after those two RBIs,” he said. “Everyone’s heads picked up and we turned it around. We are really proud of how we played tonight.” Jacob Chinault tied the game moments later with a fielder’s choice RBI to plate Leach. “Our guys never quit,” Determan said. “They kept a positive attitude and were up in the dugout the whole game.” Untiedt and Dylan Huggins each finished 1-for-3, while Leach led the Eagles with three RBIs and a walk on 2-for-2 hitting. “Sammy has been giving us some of our best at-bats on the team,” Determan said of Leach. “Came in as a freshman and was forced into a playing role last year, but he has handled it extremely well.” For Fauquier, Harrison Whitt went 2-for-3 with a steal and RBI. Adding one run and one RBI each were Carson McCusker (1-for-2) and Zach Howser (1-for-3) The Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the

McCusker’s RBI single scored Howser for a 3-0 lead. “Everybody is feeling a little bit of pressure when you play Fauquier,” Determan said. “Everyone is amped up and feeling the jitters early on. I don’t know if it was just that, or if [Neal] just settled into his role and felt more confident [later], but everything fell into place for him.”

and is expected to miss four to six weeks, so that development helped the Falcons. “It gave us a little [more room], but we still had to come out and play the match,” coach Rob Deavers said. “I think if they would have been at full strength, it would have been closer,” Deavers said. “It wouldn’t have been 9-0 or 8-1. We are so deep at the bottom [of the ladder]. We don’t drop off. The girls constantly are aware of the competition, and we are improving greatly because of
that.” Jennifer Adgate captured the No. 1 singles over Emily Loy, with No. 2 Kalinne Calheiros posting an 8-2 decision versus Addy Gannon. No. 3 Kiki Scott vanquished Katie Summerfield, and No. 4 Melanie Turner beat Ashley Appel. No. 5 Evie Leary had the easiest time with her 8-0 shut out of Kloe Thomas before No. 6 Shelby Nesbit downed Mia Sacco to complete the singles shutout.

Liberty hopes 3-0 girls soccer start isn’t temporary By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
After going 5-10-1 in 2018, it’s a happy view from the top for the Liberty girls soccer squad. The Eagles are 3-0 in Northwestern District play and 3-1 overall after beating Fauquier 2-0 last Friday. Bianca Purpura scored four minutes in on a crossing pass from Carmella Garner. After a long scoreless stretch, Bailey Simpson scored from a very sharp angle from the left side in the 57th minute to complete the Eagles’ shutout. Liberty will be tested in a taxing three-game week with scheduled games against Sherando on Tuesday, Kettle Run on Thursday and a non-district tilt with traditionally strong Brentsville on Friday. Liberty coach Marc Costanzo liked the way his girls controlled the ball against the Falcons, but emphasized that more goals are required if this is to be a championship year. “We’re not going to be able to win with just one or two goals against those better teams,” said Costanzo. Costanzo wants more aggressive play at goal rather than trying to finesse an ideal shot. “We’re not scoring a lot. We are not finishing. My big concern is finding ways to finish in that final third,” Costanzo said. Perhaps the roster is a factor. Three of Liberty’s top four scoring threats

Falcon senior Abby Wells defends. did not play in 2018 after missing sophomore years for various reasons, so the chemistry is still developing. “Everybody thinks because we have turf that [the weather] does not affect us,” Costanzo said. “What they do not realize only is we only get on it two days a week. And then we only get half a field because we are sharing with boys soccer.”
Costanzo wants a true breakout win this week. “I’m hoping everything we’ve been working on starts to click. We’re just not quite there yet,” said the third-year coach.
Falcons fall to 0-4
The loss to Liberty dropped the youthful FHS girls soccer team to 0-2, 0-4.
Fauquier has exhibited short periods of solid play, yet the offense has produced just one goal in four games. “The girls did a great job of preventing crosses in the second half, limiting the number of shot attempts by Liberty,” coach Rick Ashley said. Falcon goalie Hanna Vereen had 12 first half saves. In the second 40 minutes, Vereen needed to make eight stops.

Plenty of runs, plenty of wins Kettle Run softball opens 4-1 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
A healthy offense is making Tori Hill a happier softball coach. Last year Kettle Run hit less than .200. This year the runs and wins are flowing. Kettle Run (4-1) opened with four straight victories, averaging more than 10 runs per game, with a high of 16 in the opener against Eastern View. A come-from-behind 6-5 win over Brentsville followed in a game that probably would have been a loss last year. Then came an 8-1 win over Manassas Park before an 11-9 home win over Class 6 Patriot on March 27. The streak came to an end last Friday when Northwestern District favorite James Wood downed the Cougars 5-3. Even with the James Wood defeat, Hill remains heartened. “The girls are showing a lot of grit this year,” Hill said. “We’re going to continue to work hard in practices and improve as a team.” An improved offense has helped Chelsea Dodson and the Cougars open 4-1. PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD
The Cougars had their chances against dangerous James Wood. Both scored one run in the first inning. Cougar Chelsea Dodson walked, stole second and scored on an error. Down 2-1 in the fifth, Kettle Run tied it again as Olivia Conte reached via a passed ball. Courtesy runner Aubrey Terrant moved to second on a wild pitch and scored after two wild pitches. James Wood scored three in the sixth. The Colonels loaded the bases with no outs. After a pair of foul popouts, Colonel Ivy Rosenberry cracked a three-run double for a 5-2 lead. Kettle Run closed to 5-3 in the seventh as Conte singled with Lauren Chisarik running. Dodson walked before two passed balls plated Chisarik. “It was a nail biter for sure, but we put up a good fight against a really good team,” Hill said of her unit. Kettle Run showed its offensive skills against Patriot, taking a quick 6-0 advantage, but the Class 6 Pioneers stormed back to led 7-6 in the third. In the Cougar sixth, Jeanelle Johnson’s one-out, two-run single produced the winning runs. She finished with two hits, three RBIs and scored twice. Emory Shorts also drove in two runners. Shorts, Abbey Boldt and Larissa James-LaBranche each scored twice.

Milton’s two goals lead Eagles past Eastern View, 11-10
Saturday was fruitful for the county’s track teams, as all three schools captured gold medals at two large invitational meets. As a team, Fauquier’s girls placed second at the Highland Springs Relays out of 14 schools, with the Falcon boys fourth. Individually, Liberty High School sophomore Sam Rodman set a new school record of 1 minute, 58.67 seconds to win the 800 at the Wildcat Invitational at Mountain View.

Were you watching, coach? Fleet-footed Liberty senior Jada Milton showed her offensive skills with the tying and game-winning strikes in last week’s 11-10 win over Eastern View. Down 10-8, Eagle Millie Lanier narrowed the gap to 10-9. Then Milton, heralded for her ability to stop rival attacks, went to work, scoring off a free position from a sharp angle on the right side for a 10-10 deadlock with 9:44 left in regulation play. After Eagle goalkeeper Emily Markley made a save, Milton charged downfield and drew a foul and a free position atop the arc. She took off on the whistle, beating the closing defenders before scoring over the goalie’s right shoulder. Milton, an all-region player in 2018, is a key communicator on defense, but she also has the ability to push forward as she did down the stretch, finishing with two goals and two assists as the Eagles improved to 4-1. “Jada wants to play midfield all the time but I don’t want to lose her on defense,” said coach Amy Lacey. Milton’s final goal at 7:54 gave Liberty its first lead since 6-5 four minutes into the second half. Eastern View had only one
PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER Jada Milton and the Eagles are in Warrenton Thursday to battle Fauquier. solid scoring chance the rest of the game. Despite Eastern View’s late two-goal margin, Lacey said she had faith. “I would have been worried at three,” she admitted. “We just had to regroup. My heart was beating fast, but I know with the group of girls that we have that we were still in it.” The game featured pendulum-like momentum swings. Gretchen Thomas had two early goals, with one each by Regan Keys and Lanier as Liberty took a 4-0 lead. The Cyclones tallied four of the next five goals to produce a 5-5 halftime tie. Down 6-5, host Eastern View launched a 5-2 run to take a 10-8 lead. Unassisted goals by Keys and Lanier kept Liberty in striking range for the final push. Earlier in the week, Liberty scored early and often to dominate host Fluvanna, 18-6 behind its best offensive output of the spring. Thomas’ seven goals paced the potent attack, with Lanier’s four and Lacey’s three providing strong support. Skyler Hadler, Lauren James, Abby Keller and Milton each scored once.
efforts to go with two silver medals and three bronze. The Cougar girls placed seventh with 34.5 points, while the Kettle Run boys were in three-way tie for 10th at 26 points. Rodman’s 10 points left Liberty in 20th. Logan Rapp hurled the discus 150 feet, 7 inches to win. He also was the runner-up in the shot put at 46-7.25. Kettle Run’s Evan Torpy was third in the pole vault. He cleared 12 feet. The Kettle Run girls were led by Mary Kate Behan, who won the discus at 118-8. She also claimed third in the shot put, throwing 32-6.25. Teammate Abby Gray was second in the 3,200 in 1:03.03, and Hannah Unger leaped 5-2 for third in the high jump.
Eagles end 9-game losing streak to FHS BASEBALL, from Page 19 Fauquier threatened in the top of the third, getting two runners on with no outs, but Rodney threw out a pair of runners trying to steal. “That settled me down a lot,” Neal said. Neal got a pop out to escape the inning unscathed.
“It could have snowballed,” Determan said. “Rodney did a great job of calming down Colby on the mound. Once Colby settled down it gave us all more confidence.” Neal retired 10 consecutive batters between the third and sixth innings. The 11th reached base, but Fauquier then hit into a double play.

How’d Lovell catch that ball?

Game-ending double play helps Falcons frustrate Eagles, 3-2 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
It was a play worthy of ESPN’s SportsCenter. With Morgan Hatcher on first with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, Eagle cleanup hitter Hope Mullins slammed a 2-2 pitch from Falcon pitcher Ashley Renzi toward the left-center field alley. The scorching, sinking line drive appeared headed for extra bases, likely tying Friday’s softball clash with visiting Fauquier, which led 3-2. “I was already calling out ‘Three, three,’” Fauquier first-year coach Erika Lamper said, thinking Mullins had hit the game-tying double or triple. Racing to her left, Falcon freshman left fielder Helena Lovell launched a fully extended dive to catch the ball inches off the ground. Lovell scrambled up and fired a perfect strike to Emma Carter on second base to double up Hatcher, who had been streaking to third. Instead of a tie, the game was over. “It was such a hard hit ball. Hope just crushed it. Then comes this freshman to make that amazing catch. The best part of it was she knew she had

Fauquier improved to 1-0 in Class 4 Northwestern District play and 5-1. The Eagles fell to 2-1 and 3-4. Preseason league favorite James Wood is 2-0. Both pitchers were solid. Fauquier’s Renzi allowed three hits and struck out eight in seven innings. Liberty’s Mullins tossed a two-hitter and fanned four batters in the narrow loss. “It was a hard-fought game between two rivals that went down to the wire,” Liberty’s first-year coach Chris Leatherman said. “The girl
Falcon girls open fast, but lose lacrosse opener to Monroe 12-9 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Fauquier’s girls lacrosse team roared out of the gate in its Region 4B opener, leading 2-0 after less than four minutes. Suddenly, the goals became harder to come by as James Monroe surged to a 12-9 win. “This was our second game of the season,” said coach Ken McInnis, noting the lone preseason scrimmage was cancelled and four previous games postponed. “You’re still trying to figure out where to put people, but you’re playing against a team that’s 5-1. We’re still trying to figure out our identity.” Ahead 3-1 on goals by Lakyn Harlow, Zoe Savage and Abby McCusker, the Falcon offense went into the freezer, as the home unit went scoreless for the final 18 minutes of the first half. The Yellow Jackets led 6-3 heading into the break, then made it 8-3 almost five minutes into the second
half. By the time Fauquier’s McCusker found net for the second time, the Falcons had been scoreless for 22:41 during a 7-0 Yellow Jacket run. McInnis’ Falcons fell to 1-1 after beating John Champe 12-11 on March 19. The fifth-year coach experimented by switching people between attack and midfield lines to see what worked best. McInnis said not all of the changes worked, as the flow was disrupted. “The killer instinct just was not there,” the coach said and stressed he now has a better idea of what to expect from each player. McCusker, Savage and Sarala Grayson-Funk each scored twice for Fauquier. Madison Filson, Payton O’Hara and Harlow all had one goal. Monday’s contest versus Stonewall Jackson was the fifth postponement of the early season. The Falcons have a big game coming up with Liberty Thursday at Falcon Field. Liberty will be playing its seventh game, Fauquier its third.

In doubles, Scott-Adgate cruised in the top pairing, 8-0, while Calheiros-Turner notched an 8-5 win at the next tier. Leary and Lexi Propheter closed out the rout, 8-3, at No. 3 doubles. The Falcons moved to 4-0 when
they added another easy home win the next day over Brentsville 8-1. Adgate, Calheiros and Scott all took 8-1 wins, with Leary and Nesbit easy 8-0 winners. The Adgate/ Scott duo captured an 8–1 victory. Calhieros and Turner were 8-2 winners, and the No. 3 doubles went to Nesbit and Giulia Macri 8-1.
made a heck of a play at the end of the game.” Fauquier took its 3-2 lead on a fifth-inning run by Callaway Lee, who was hit by a pitch with two outs and stole second. Lee went to third on a mishandled bunt, then scored when the Eagles did not pick up the loose ball quickly enough. Fauquier took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when leadoff hitter Meghan Harrington singled up the middle, moved to second on a wild pitch and eventually scored when Zoe Ott was safe on a play at first. Harrington went to third on the play and scored when Liberty could not regain control of the loose ball quickly.
Fauquier added an unearned run in the third inning to make it 2-0. Renzi bunted and was safe on an error, then stole second. Lauren Davis struck out, but reached first when the ball rolled to the backstop as Renzi went at third. Lee’s ground out plated Renzi. Hitless through three, Liberty tied the game in the fourth. Katelynn Lewis led off with a double and went to third on a Kaleigh Phelps’ sacrifice bunt. Keely Crane followed with a bunt single, then Kaitlyn Strayer also bunted. Lewis was caught between third and home, but a play at third went awry as Lewis scored the Eagles’ first run. Jada Leatherman then singled to right to score Crane and make it 2-2. Leatherman said Mullins’ liner and several other shots hit directly at fielders was indicative of recent bad luck. “That’s been the story of our last couple of games. I tell the girls to keep putting the ball into play and good things will happen,” Leatherman said. Liberty was coming off a surprising 8-1 home loss against Eastern View the previous night. Host Fauquier shut out Colonial Forge 5-0 on March 27 behind 12 strikeouts, nine by Renzi and three for Harrington.

EQUINE NUTRITION Tri-County hosts Friday talk
Tri-County Feeds in Marshall is hosting equine nutritionist Doug Leavitt on Friday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. He’ll provide private consultations and help with nutrition advice and also be on site April 19. Other Tri-County events in April include Crest Hill Dog Training for an April 6 event, and an April 13 flower arranging event with Wollam Gardens. Visit tricountyfeeds.com.
Making his first-out since finishing a competitive third in the International Gold Cup last October, Mike Smith’s Le Chevalier conserved his energy before drawing off to win the three-mile George Ohrstrom Memorial open timber feature at Sunday’s Orange County Hounds Point-to-Point. Cruising to the lead at rider Kieran Norris’s cue in the final furlong, Le Chevalier held off an insistent rally from early leader Canyon Road to win in strong fashion. Trainer Julie Gomena watched Le Chevalier take second in the four-mile Virginia Gold Cup timber classic last May and is again targeting Virginia’s most prestigious steeplechase event May 4 at Great Meadow. “Same set-up,” said the Upperville-based conditioner. “Middleburg Spring (in three weeks,) then Gold Cup is the plan.” Winner of seven of 17 starts over timber in four seasons, Le Chevalier is a multiple timber stakes winner. It was Norris’ first time aboard the gray son of Broken Vow. “He’s got a lot (of) talent,” said the circuit’s defending jockey titlist. “The horses come back from Aiken feeling good,” Gomena added, explaining she’s had most of her horses based at a training track in southwest South Carolina since New Year’s Day. The sandy soil and moderate climate make consistent training easier than dodging ice and snow storms in the Virginia Piedmont, she said. “We like it down there,” she said. “The horses come home ready to run.” Away from the races more than two years since winning the 3-year-old hurdle stake at Far Hills in 2017, Gomena’s Menacing Dennis won the open hurdle handily under apprentice Shane Crimin. Her two jump winners were joined by maiden turf winner Devil’s Wrangler. Amateur Sam Cockburn got the call. Complete results are at centralentryoffice.com.

head for Crete, where the Greek king and his cabinet had already fled. The Pattens could join him. However, the departure was delayed and the Thyella was caught in the harbor by German bombers. “I watched her sink slowly into the sea,” wrote Inga Patten.
The voyage begins
Determined to avoid capture, Tsallis came up with a desperate plan to flee across the Mediterranean on his unfinished 33-foot sailboat, the Palaimon (“God of the Sea”), and again asked the Pattens to join him. “The Palaimon was elegant but had no engine, and her teak deck was far from finished,” recalled Inga. The only navigation equipment on board was a compass. The Greek Admiralty allowed Tsallis his pick of three sailors and provided maps and information about the minefields. The German air attacks intensified, and Inga Patten witnessed the destruction of yet another Greek warship in the harbor. At dawn on April 23, 1941 – three days before German troops entered Athens – the Palaimon set sail. They passed the island of Aegina, and seeing a German aircraft pass uncomfortably close, decided to sail on the far side of the island of Poros. Thus, began a tense game of catand-mouse through the islands south of Greece. The goal was to reach Crete, and eventually Egypt. They sailed across the Bay of Nafplio, where the last of the British force was being evacuated by sea. “Numerous times we were becalmed,” recalled Peter Patten in an interview with the Detroit Times. “Finally, the superstitious sailors went to the captain and complained, ‘The wind has left because Madame
paints her lips,’ and he asked her to remove her makeup.” At first Inga Patten refused, but after witnessing an attack on the British transport ships, she complied – and the wind picked up. Reaching Momenvasia, they tied up for the night near two small warships. Peter Patten and the crew went ashore to find food. While they were gone, German bombers attacked. “All of a sudden, I saw a number of planes coming around the bend. They seemed to be targeting us,” Inga Patten ecalled. “I jumped down into the cabin with Marilene and pushed her to the floor, holding my hands over her ears while trying to cover the two of us with blankets and pillows.” At least a dozen bombs exploded nearby, and waves washed over the Palaimon, which twisted from side to side, up and down. One of the two boats nearby was split in half, the othSee GREECE, page 26

GREECE, from page 25 er engulfed in flames. Of the incident, Peter Patten noted, “Only this once did I see my wife nearly hysterical.” After rowing to shore and spending the night in a cave, the party sailed for Cape Matapan and into a storm, where they lost their cooking stove. A German aircraft appeared and fired upon them, but no one was hurt. The next stop was the island of Cythere, where an old lady gave them some slices of bread, goat cheese and an orange. Learning that German aircraft were approaching, Inga and Marilene Patten ventured inland, but soon came under attack – an incident that Marilene still remembers. They hid behind a low stone wall, but one of the German planes dove directly at them, firing. “Holding Marilene to my belly, I crept as close to the wall as I could, and heard the bullets bounce off the stones,” Inga Patten recalled. “When the plane gained altitude and turned, I rushed to the other side of the wall and tried to make Marilene and myself as small as possible.” The ordeal ended when a British airplane blundered onto the scene. Seeing a better target, the German pilot shot it down and circled it as it sank.
A stormy passage
The Palaimon stopped at the island of Anticythere, where they washed their clothes in the village fountain and obtained provisions. “The place was swarming with British soldiers, who were waiting until

Their first experience at Sfinari, on the west coast of Crete was disturbing, as the natives accused the sailors of being spies, and until Tsallis could contact the admiralty, their fate was unclear. Although they had not secured enough provisions to make the final leg of the voyage to Egypt, they departed – into the mouth of a bad storm, which lasted 48 hours. The Palaimon suffered damage, and most of their food and cooking utensils smashed. “Worst of all, the container with the 200 eggs from Sfinari was rolling back-and-forth,” said Inga Patten. When the storm finally broke, they had completely lost their bearings, “…and the sailors looked more dead than alive.”

Schreiner grew up in Warrenton; his family moved here when he was 12. That’s when he began writing and playing Christian contemporary music. “I knew I was going to be a professional musician when I was 9 years old. Music has been the defining feature of my life,” he said. He started college in Minnesota but later transferred to Lee University in Tennessee, graduating with a degree in vocal music performance. For most of his college years, he studied opera and performed in numerous operatic roles. “I thought for a time I would pursue opera professionally. I knew I had the chops for it,” he said.

A performance for young audiences
Warrenton Ballet Company invites children to ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road’ Staff Reports Children are in for a treat Saturday as the Warrenton Ballet Company introduces aspiring dancers to the world of ballet. “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” is a performance geared for young audiences. The length (roughly 45 minutes) and presentation are geared toward children ages 4 to 7 years. Upon arrival, young guests will “follow the yellow brick road” past the forbidden forest to some great adventures, including wand making with Glinda and shopping at the Fun Store for “Wizard of Oz”-themed novelties, priced between $1 and $5. When the show starts, young guests will be invited to sit on rainbow mats for an up-close viewing opportunity. (Chairs will also be provided.) The cast will not only perform on the stage, but on the floor directly in front of the audience as well. “We understand that young children often need to move around, check in with Mommy or Daddy, or simply change seats … the goal of this performance is to expose young children to the ballet,” said Melissa Yowell from the Ballet Academy of Warrenton. As a dance teacher, Yowell said
she often hears parents and grandparents talk about taking little children to see “The Nutcracker,” but having them become fidgety about half-way through the performance. “While ‘The Nutcracker’ is a fantastic and fun ballet,” she said, “young children simply do not want, nor should they be expected to, sit for an hour and a half.” The philosophy of the Warrenton Ballet Company, a local nonprofit, is to introduce young children to the fine art of ballet (and tap dancing). “We hold two performances each year, ‘The Fairytale Tea’ in November and our Storybook performance in April,” said Yowell, adding that previous storylines have included, “Peter and the Wolf” and “Down the Rabbit Hole.” The main roles will be performed by members of The Warrenton Ballet Company, which provides pre-professional dance opportunities for local young dancers ages 12 and up. The smaller roles, such as munchkins, will be played by younger students from Ballet Academy of Warrenton (ages 8 to 12). “The dancers will not only be performing ballet, but tap and jazz as well, thanks to our fabulous choreographer, Autumn Hoke,” added Yowell.

Unlock what your chromosomes can tell you 23andMe. Ancestry. LivingDNA. The list of DNA testing kits that can be used to explore your heritage is virtually limitless. According to MIT Technology Review, in 2017 more than 12 million individuals had their DNA analyzed with direct-to-consumer genetic genealogy tests. If you are among the estimated 1 in 25 American adults who now have access to their personal genetic data, or are just curious about what DNA testing can reveal, join us for “What Your Chromosomes Can Tell You,” the April 2019 Sunday with the Library program. Sunday, April 7, 2 p.m. John Barton Payne Building, Warrenton This presentation by Shannon Combs-Bennett, QG, PLCGS, will introduce you to what tests are available, help you understand fact versus fiction in the DNA testing world, and show you how DNA testing helps with genealogy research. No experience in genetics or genealogy needed, just an open mind and a curiosity about what your chromosomes can reveal. Combs-Bennett is an award winning author and lecturer. She earned
her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Indiana University with an emphasis in genetics and is currently earning her Masters in Science in genealogical, heraldic, and Paleographic Studies from the University of Strathclyde. She enjoys lec-
turing and writing on a variety of topics but particularly loves helping people break down the “brick walls” in their genealogy research. “What Your Chromosome Can Tell You” is the first of numerous programs in the 2019 Fauquier Community Read. This year’s book - “Before We Were Yours” by Lisa Wingate - is the riveting story of two families, generations apart, that are forever changed by a heartbreaking injustice. It’s exploration of family is a natural impetus for exploring our own family history. For details about other Fauqu ie r

Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Fair and Parade returns in 2019 Staff Reports After a two-year absence, the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department annual fair and parade will return to Brandy Station in 2019. The fire department membership recently chose to once again hold this annual fundraising event and finalized a contract with a midway provider. Mark your calendars for Aug. 7 to 10. The parade will be on Thursday, Aug. 8. RC Cole Shows Amusements
from Covington, Virginia will provide the midway. Cole Shows Amusement Company has been supplying magnificent amusement ride midways to fairs, festivals and corporate events across Virginia for more than 25 years. They most recently appeared in Vienna, Virginia, at the Viva Vienna Festival, at the Fauquier County Fair in Warrenton, at the Shenandoah County Fair in Woodstock, Virginia, in Orange, Virginia, at the Orange Volunteer Fire Company Fair, and the Arlington County Fair in Arlington. “We are extremely thrilled to have this fine show provide its
amusements for our event this summer,” said Jeff Bailey, one of the organizers. “The fair is a means to cement relationships with friends and neighbors who are kept apart by busy schedules throughout the year.” The Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department was founded and chartered in 1951. The Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary sponsored the first carnival in August 1951, later turning that responsibility over to the firemen in August of 1955. Over the last two years, the fire department has received numerous requests to resume this traditional
33
event. More details about the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Fair will be coming soon. Visit their website at www.bsvfd.com/about-us or visit them on Facebook at www. facebook.com/BSVFD.

Arby’s may open in Bealeton in the fall By James Ivancic Time Staff Writer
“We want to be a good neighbor. We’re locally involved and want to be involved in Bealeton,” said Dan Wallace, who wants to build an Arby’s restaurant in Bealeton, next to the 7-Eleven at the corner of Va. 28 and U.S. 17. Wallace needs a special exception from Fauquier County to put in a drive-thru at the restaurant. His application will be considered by the county’s planning commission on April 18. The application will then be considered by the county board of supervisors. Wallace hopes to open the restaurant this fall. He said the spot of land at the intersection of the
two major roads makes it an ideal place for his sixth restaurant. “Customers can come in and go out at the [traffic] light on 28 and 17. I think it’s a pretty easy access and has good visibility,” Wallace said. Traffic will wrap around the 7-Eleven to gain access to and leave the Arby’s. The Bealeton restaurant will have a brick façade and seating will accommodate 46 customers. Hours of operation will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. There will be jobs for 30 to 40 people, according to the application filed with the county. Wallace has three Arby’s in Fredericksburg, one in Stafford County and one in King George County.
He said he’s a “hands-on” operator. His father started the company and Wallace’s daughter represents the third generation of Arby’s business operators. Running the Arby’s franchises is the only thing they do, he said. Wallace said the company helps Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Fredericksburg and that he would like to be involved with civic organizations in Bealeton as well. Arby’s is a nationwide chain of fast food restaurants founded in 1964. It’s known for its roast beef sandwiches but also sells chicken, turkey brisket, ham, reuben and fish sandwiches, wraps and sliders plus salad, fries, onion rings, soft drinks and milkshakes.

be reviewed before a decision is made about securing a lease, explained Dawn Eischen, ABC public relations manager. Comments can be sent to sites@abc.virginia.gov. Eischen said Virginia ABC weighs factors such as demographics, traffic patterns, rental rate and population density in considering a new location. It also considers the distance of a location to existing stores, sales at those stores, tenant mix at the shopping center, and the accessibility and deliverability to the location. “As a potential new local business and economic partner, Virginia ABC wants to ensure the store location would be a good fit for the community,” Eischen said. Last year, ABC considered putting a store at 104 Main St. That space eventually went to the Old Town Open Book bookstore, which opened March 22.

Ask the Arborist James Woods
I.S.A. Certified Arborist
Boxwood Blight Blues All species and cultivars of boxwood are susceptible to boxwood blight. Based on varietal trials, American and English boxwood are the most severely affected by the disease. The boxwood blight fungus causes leaf spots, twig cankers, blighting, severe defoliation, and eventually death of boxwood. Proper diagnosis requires microscopic examination. Under the right environmental conditions, spores are produced profusely on diseased tissue and can cause future infections of healthy tissue. Avoiding overhead irrigation can help reduce the risk of disease spread in the nursery and in your landscape. The boxwood blight fungus can overwinter in infected plant tissue and boxwood debris in the soil. To reduce the risk of future outbreaks, dispose of infected plants and as much residual debris (i.e. fallen leaves) as you can by double bagging and designating for the landfill. For management of boxwood blight, avoid overcrowding of plants and don’t use overhead irrigation. In addition, succession plantings using alternatives for boxwood, such as yew, juniper, arborvitae and holly will help create a more diverse and sustainable landscape. Your Bartlett Arborist can provide you with more information on this disease and/or treatment recommendations for prevention. Contact Bartlett Tree Experts (www.bartlett.com or 1-540-364-2401) to find out more.

Garnet Carter Sluss Garnet Carter Sluss was born on May 6, 1939 in Tiptop, VA and passed away on March 28, 2019 surrounded by his family. Garnet was the sixth of eleven children born to Wade and Audrey Sluss. The son of a coal miner, Garnet knew hard work but also the benefits of his efforts. Garnet served two years in the U.S. Army and then attended Bluefield College before moving to Washington, D.C. to work. It was in Washington, D.C. on April 1, 1960 that he met the love of his life Mary Barth. Garnet and Mary married on October 6, 1962 and over the years were blessed with five children, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Garnet retired in 1999 from the Department of the Army where he worked as a Computer Programmer/Analyst. He spent his retirement years enjoying family, gardening, woodworking, and artwork. He loved bluegrass music, horses, telling a good tall tale or joke, and loved the old mountain ways of doing things. Though he lived in many places during his life, home to him was always a four-room house in Mudfork, VA, deep in the mountains. He is survived by his wife, Mary Sluss; children, Terry Chancellor (Jerry), Kathy Williams (Rhon), Michael Sluss (Sarah Cagle), Kevin Sluss (Kathryn Moore), Jonathan Sluss (Marie); grandchildren, Katie Williams, Kristen Sluss, Rebecca Alley, Audrey Chancellor-Marcias, Jennifer Williams, Abigail Williams, Elayne Monroy, Michael Chancellor, Benjamin Sluss; great grandchildren, Kate Alley, Eli Alley, and Catalina Monroy.

RESPECTFUL ATTIRE While there has been a notable shift in everyday dress from more formal to casual wear, it should be noted that a funeral requires respect to be paid to the deceased by wearing appropriate attire that properly suits the occasion. Funeral attendees are highly encouraged to wear clothing that ref lects the high regard in which they held the person they are now visiting for the final time. As is the case with other important events such as weddings and graduations, a funeral marks a momentous time in a person’s life. Because a funeral specifically commemorates the deceased’s final appearance on earth, it is important to dress in a manner that befits the occasion. A funeral is a somber occasion, so it is best to dress in conservative colors and styles. You don’t have to wear all black, but it is acceptable to do so. You will probably want to avoid a bright f loral dress or wild print or neon necktie, unless the family of the deceased asks you to. It is also not appropriate to show too much skin. MOSER FUNERAL HOME can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details and will explain all of the available options. To learn about our funeral services, please call (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “The best portion of a good man’s life is his little nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”
