A Virginia Department of Transportation project designed to reduce accidents at Freemans Ford Road and U.S. 15/29 likely died Monday night in the face of vocal criticism at a community meeting. Not a single hand went up when Lee District Supervisor Chris Butler asked how many in the audience supported the restricted crossing U-turn design. By the time he called for a show of hands — at the end of the twohour meeting — the original crowd of 125 people was down to about 85. “If we had this much public input before, we probably wouldn’t be sitting here today,” Butler told the audience at the Remington Lions Club. “I’ll talk to the board and let VDOT know” where the county stands on the project. But he said after the meeting that the project likely would not move forward, “based on the outcry from the community. I want everyone to know I heard them.” He said two earlier community meetings in Remington drew small numbers of listeners. Nathan Umberger, VDOT traffic engineer, said public comments at those meetings were divided about the proposal.

Fauquier ranks 19th healthiest county in Virginia By Karen Chaffraix

PATH Foundation projects boost community health

Times Staff Writer

If having your health is everything, then Loudoun County‘s got it going on. The county ranked first in the commonwealth in the newly released Robert Wood Johnson Foundation “County Health Rankings & Roadmaps” report, a detailed accounting of factors contributing to the overall health of every county in the country. Produced annually in combination with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, the report shows, state by state, how counties rank given the aggregate of factors measured. Out of 133 counties in Virginia, Loudoun County ranked the healthiest at No. 1. Fauquier County ranked 19. Rankings for Fauquier’s neighbors are: Prince William, 9; Rappahannock, 12; Culpeper, 41; Warren, 46; Stafford, 14. In last place was Petersburg City.

What was measured

The report looked at water quality, home ownership rates, commute patterns, tobacco use, diet and exercise, alcohol and drug use, sexual activity, access to medical care, quality of medical care, flu vaccination rates, education, employment, income, family and social support, crime rates and death rates, as well as at “insufficient sleep” and “number without health insurance.” It chronicled the number of preventable hospital stays and mammography screenings. It also examined severe housing-cost burdens, homeownership rates and “disconnected youth.”

What the report means by ‘healthy’

According to the study, a healthy community has a high rate of homeownership, which signals stability and wealth-building; it has nearby schools, jobs, healthy food and green spaces where folks can relax and exercise. All of its members have access to: physical and mental health care, support groups, elder care, adequate transportation, parks, exercise space, public safety and clean air. The less segregated an area, the healthier it ranks.

What’s Loudoun got that we don’t?

Loudoun County consistently outscored Fauquier County among the 58plus measurements taken. Loudoun is more developed — 12.6 percent rural vs. Fauquier’s 57.5 percent — and has

The PATH Foundation in Warrenton is dedicated to improving the health of local communities, including Fauquier, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties. Below are some PATH initiatives that support community health. Mental health Fauquier Free Clinic: Psychiatry and Telehealth • Tele-psychiatry and tele-counseling services are provided to low-income residents via PATH Foundation funding and the Free Clinic’s innovative program design. Over the last calendar year, the program logged: • 1,252 telehealth visits • 295 face-to-face visits • 1,547 visits total

PHOTO COURTESY OF PATH FOUNDATION Students at Thompson Elementary got the full farmers market experience in their own cafeteria, as part of the FRESH program. a far larger population (398,080 compared to Fauquier’s 69,465). It has a bit more air pollution, but both counties have “fine particulate matter” (9.6 Loudoun; 9.1 Fauquier) in the good range, which is 0 to 50. Loudoun has a greater life expectancy, (84.3 years; Fauquier, 79.6); higher median household income ($136,200; Fauquier, $96,800), and many more medical service providers. More of its population went to college, is insured, gets flu shots, and has access to exercise and to healthy food. Loudoun has fewer premature deaths, teen births, uninsured residents, “disconnected youth,” and firearm fatalities. Fewer of its residents have a long commute alone than do those in Fauquier, although both are high (Loudoun 52 percent; Fauquier, 63 percent). Loudoun has lower unemployment; fewer residents in poor health; less food insecurity, excessive drinking, child mortality, obesity, diabetes, deaths from injury; and fewer HIV-positive residents than does Fauquier. But Loudoun County has more single-parent households, sleep-deprived residents and violent crime. Fauquier County residents get more sleep. There are fewer murders here than in Loudoun.

Making health equitable — a call to action

Illuminating the impact of dis-

criminatory policies and practices on housing and health and how disparities in homeownership limit opportunity, the foundation categorizes its rankings report as a “call to action” and provides myriad suggestions that can be implemented to improve a community’s health. “Rally the community; highlight solutions,” it reads. “Focus on equity by looking at who isn’t thriving, who doesn’t have the same opportunities for good health and what differences there are by race and by place.”

Chin up, Fauquier

“It’s important to note that this overall snapshot can’t capture the nuances of an area,” weighed in PATH’s Director of Communications, Amy Petty, by email on April 12. “A rural setting with a lower population means less traffic and more open space, but it also means a long commute, reduced access to health care facilities, physical health providers, behavioral health providers, exercise facilities, transportation, broadband, etc.” But to keep things in perspective, she added, “Fauquier ranked 121 in the US News & World Report’s 2019 Healthiest Communities, in a country with 3,000 counties.” To read the report, go to: www. countyhealthrankings.org.

Planning commission split on Remington data center Members delay decision until next month By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Planning Commission will take more time to review a proposed data center in Remington after hearing concerns about its location, size, water usage and noise expressed during a public hearing Thursday, April 18. Lee District Supervisor Chris Butler said he will also organize a community meeting to answer questions. Butler supports the project. The proposed site is undeveloped land south of the intersection of U.S. 29/15 and James Madison Street. The applicant, Convergent VA LLC, of McLean, proposes a rollout of six buildings over five to seven years, representing a $1 billion investment. Employing 110 workers, it would occupy a site that was previously approved for a 198-unit housing development. A comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning and special exception are needed for the project to move forward. The planning commission will consider it again at next month’s meeting. It will eventually make a recommendation to the board of supervisors, which will hold its own public hearing and then vote. Ron Lattomus, a resident of the Lees Glen subdivision bordering the site, said Thursday that residents are concerned about noise from the air conditioners cooling the data center 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as well as building height and the effect the center could have on property values. Dan Helm of Remington said construction of “big, ugly buildings” would be a “travesty on the land” and cause his grandfather to “roll over in his grave.” Mary Root served on the citizens committee that helped revise the Remington comprehensive plan in 2003. She said placing a data center in a planned residential area negates the intent to create a walkable community. She said the data center belongs on Lucky Hill Drive, the site of another planned data center. Julie Bolthouse of the Piedmont Environmental Council said the group opposes the proposed Convergent location, saying it should be on the outskirts of the Remington Service District or clustered with existing industrial buildings. The PEC also is concerned about runoff, since the buildings, parking lots, natural gas storage and substation will take up about 50 percent of the 130-acre site and thereby increase the amount of impervious surface. David Zorger of Warrenton, president of Project Solutions Group, a company that oversees development of data centers, said such centers have “low impact and a high tax rate.” His company is involved in developing a data center at Vint Hill. Remington Mayor Gerald Bill-

ingsley said town council is “very concerned” about the proposal. He said that its members are divided on the proposed comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use of 90 acres from low-density residential to light industrial and rezone 104 acres from two residential units per acre to business park. But, he added, they are united against a special exception to allow an aboveground water storage facility for fire suppression use. Billingsley said there is concern that the data center could eventually drill a well, which could impact the water available to the town. “Where there is a standpipe, there is temptation to drill a well,” the mayor said. Jeff Price, representing Convergent VA LLC, said the company will “strive to be a good neighbor. I believe our presence will complement and enhance the community.” He said an earthen berm and landscaping will screen the buildings and the company will adhere to noise limits. The buildings will be single-story and no taller than homes near them. “I think most concerns can be addressed,” Bob Lee, Marshall District representative on the commission, told the audience. Scott District representative Adrienne Garreau said she wasn’t prepared to vote. She said she wanted to talk to community development staff about the concerns raised. Matthew Smith, Cedar Run representative on the commission, said he thought the data center would be a “lot less detrimental” than the construction of more homes. “This area [for the Convergent development] has a business feel and would not be taking it out of character,” Smith said. But he added that he’d like the site to be better screened along U.S. 29. Lee District representative John Meadows said has witnessed a once-vibrant farming community in Remington dwindle. “This is an economic engine that I think Fauquier County and Remington needs,” Meadows said. He voted against the motion to continue consideration next month. Meadows and Smith voted in favor of a motion recommending approval of the special exception, rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment, but a 2-to-2 vote killed it. Lee and Garreau voted against and the commission’s fifth member, Diane Roteman, was absent. The Convergent Technology Park is the second application for a data center in the Remington area. Fauquier County supervisors in March 2018 approved zoning changes for Remington Technology Park, a data center project of Point One Holdings, on 234 acres between Lucky Hill and Remington roads.

The Fauquier County Planning Commission has delayed its decision on whether or not to recommend a data center for Remington.

Tractor-trailer, runs light, hits van A Manassas man driving a Toyota van was transported to Fauquier Hospital early Monday morning, April 22, after crashing into a tractor-trailer in Bealeton, according to a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office press release. The 2009 Toyota Sienna caught fire and was engulfed in f lames. However, the driver escaped with minor injuries, said FCSO spokesman Sgt. James Hartman. The driver of a southbound tractor-trailer on U.S. 17 (Marsh Road) reportedly drove through a red light at 12:26 a.m. at the intersection of Va. 28 (Catlett Road), said Hartman. The driver of the van proceeded into the intersection from Catlett Road on a green light, striking the 1996 Peterbuilt truck and trailer. The driver of the tractor-trailer, Michael W. Elko, 52, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, is charged with failing to obey a traffic signal, said Hartman. The southbound side of U.S. 17 was closed for approximately 90 minutes due to the crash. Deputy Andrew Stribling is investigating.

Freemans Ford Road project likely died Monday night ROAD, from Page 1

Remington Town Council approved a resolution of support for the project at first, only to withdraw it in February after hearing criticism about the project’s design from residents. Residents expressed concern that the restricted crossings and U-turns as well as the removal of the traffic light at the intersection would be hazardous and difficult for large trucks and school buses to navigate — concerns expressed by many Monday night. The outcry came after the county had submitted the project to VDOT for funding. VDOT staff subsequently recommended to the Commonwealth Transportation Board the $7.1 million project be funded. The CTB meets in June to formally approve projects. Butler said VDOT will probably ask supervisors to approve a resolution asking that the project be dropped from consideration if the board decides it can no longer support it. Butler organized Monday’s meeting. VDOT staff explained the design, how it has worked elsewhere and why it was selected for Freemans Ford. Umberger said VDOT considered different options to make the intersection safer, following three fatal accidents that took four lives within a couple years. There were 47 crashes at the intersection between 2013 and 2018. Rumble strips and signage were added, but VDOT officials sought a more long-term solution. Audience members offered alternatives of their own Monday that includ-

ed lowering the speed limit from 55 mph, stepping up law enforcement or adding an overpass. They were skeptical of assurances that large, heavy vehicles could make the R-cut turns. “Two tractor-trailers can’t pick up speed at the level you propose here,” said dairy farmer Ken Smith. “I think you have an opportunity here to lower the speed limit here. Put in speed cameras.” Umberger responded that it wouldn’t be necessary for a heavy vehicle to pick up speed quickly. There would be a 500-foot long lane to travel to make a U-turn, longer than the typical 200-foot length. He added that speed cameras aren’t legal in Virginia, except in highway work zones; that’s a recent change to state law. As designed, the Freemans Ford project calls for removing the traffic light at the intersection. Westbound and eastbound thru and left movements from Freemans Ford would be eliminated and only a right turn allowed onto U.S. 29/15. Left turns from U.S.15/29 to Freemans Ford would be channeled. There would be a deceleration lane for U-turn locations in the existing median north and south of the intersection. There would be concrete islands added on eastbound and westbound Freemans Ford approaching the intersection to remove the possibility of making a left turn or a thru movement. Concrete islands would also be added in the intersection to channel the left turns from U.S. 15/29 in both directions. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

First Friday offers a chance to say goodbye to an old friend Furness said that Framecraft will use some of the wood from the tree after it is taken down to create a frame for the resulting mosaic. “It will be presented to the town when it is finished,” she said. Furness encourages First Night attendees to take lots of photos. “We need about 1,500 photos to use as tiles for the mosaic.” She added, “People can take selfies with the tree at other times, too, but since the street will be closed off for First Friday, that will be a great opportunity to take selfies.” Peter Deahl, ISA certified arbor-

ist, Fine Pruning, LLC, told the Warrenton Town Council several months ago that the elm tree in front of the courthouse is decayed and should come down before it falls on its own. Interim Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer said that since the tree has occupied such an important spot in the town, the town would like to have the tree removed in the largest pieces possible, so that the wood may be reused in some way. “We won’t really know what might be possible until we have it down,” Schaeffer said. “We polled the public for ideas and some that came across included the use of the wood for ornaments, bowls and benches.”

Members of the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Board have invited the public to attend festivities recognizing the 10th anniversary of Northern Fauquier Community Park. The celebration will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, at the park, 4155 Monroe Parkway, Marshall. Festivities planned: • Wild Virginia education program through Blue Ridge Wildlife Center, 11 to 11:45 a.m.

• Ice skating (open every Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) • Fishing in the kids-only trout pond, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. • Pups on the Path Fun Run, 1 p.m. (A run around part of the park; some prizes will be stationed along the way. No registration is needed, and pups are not required.) • Marshall Volunteer Fire Department equipment display, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

An antidote to the national news

The national news has been particularly sad and disheartening this week. As an antidote to that, we didn’t want you to miss some inspiring stories we heard at the April 18 Valor Awards, hosted by the Fauquier County Chamber of Commerce. Lt. Brendan Miller of the Fauquier County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management, was one of many brave and dedicated professionals who was honored. On the afternoon of March 10, 2018, Miller was one of many who responded to a report of a multiple-vehicle accident with multiple injuries. One of the cars was on fire. As Miller’s Medic 10 arrived on the scene, one person was still trapped in a car. The driver of the other car narrowly escaped their SUV’s burning wreckage. Miller found the driver on the hot asphalt still trying to crawl away from the smoke and heat. Once in the clear, it was apparent the patient was badly injured and needed a trauma center. Meanwhile, the patient in the second vehicle was still trapped and in need of attention, as the fire grew in size and intensity. Miller ran back to the fire station — a half of a mile away — to retrieve the closest fire engine. After the fire was extinguished, Miller was able to return to providing care for the injured patient. The story of Miller’s heroism was only one of many told Thursday night. Last August, Sgt. Spillars of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a home where a large tree had fallen through the roof. The structure was unstable, and a child was trapped inside. Spillars forced open the door to the child’s bedroom as a portion of the ceiling collapsed on top of him. He and the child’s stepfather continued to work feverishly to free the trapped child until the arrival of fire and rescue. Tragically, 10-year-old Lydia Gherghis did not survive. On Sept. 16, 2018, Officer Matthew Eggers of the Warrenton Police Department responded to the Blackwell Road overpass at the U.S. 17 spur. When he arrived, Eggers observed a visibly upset, barefoot woman walking toward the overpass. Officer Eggers made contact with the woman and learned that she was distraught over a failing relationship and wanted to commit suicide by jumping from the overpass. The woman had consumed drugs and alcohol earlier that evening, and Eggers observed markings on her body that were indicative of self-mutilation, as well. Eggers recognized that the female was in crisis and utilized his crisis intervention training to talk with her, calm her; he successfully persuaded her to seek a mental health evaluation. Police officers and fire and rescue personnel never know what their day will bring. One evening in January, for instance, Warrenton Police Officers Michael Crosswhite and Van Grimes diffused a hostage situation. A man was reportedly acting irrational and paranoid, yelling at employees at a local business. Prior to their arrival, the officers were told the subject had taken a woman hostage and was holding her at knife point. Upon arrival, Crosswhite began talking to the man, attempting to calm him down while giving specific commands to drop the weapon and release the hostage. The man complied, and the woman was rescued. Grimes was able to take the man into custody. Whatever is happening on the national stage, we are fortunate in Fauquier County to have outstanding public safety agencies staffed by amazing men and women who are passionate about protecting our citizens. We are proud to be able to tell their stories.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES When the Virginia Museum Artmobile visited Fauquier High School in October 1967, Mr. and Mrs. Vance A. Bridges of Warrenton were among the visitors who came to see 17th and 18th century French art on display. 75 Years Ago April 27, 1944 Pfc. James Sweeney of Warrenton, a former jockey, posed for a photo astride a steel drum, “the nearest thing he could fine to a thoroughbred on horseless Bougainville, in the Pacific. Pvt. Sweeney, second in command of a rifle squad fighting the Japanese, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Sweeney. As a member of the staff of the commanding general of the Ninth Carrier Command, Col. John T. Sprague of Warrenton is working at the planning tables of what may prove to be the greatest airborne operation of the war. Mr. and Mrs. Ian S. Montgomery have purchased South Wales, 357-acre farm situated on Great Run near the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, from Mrs. H. C. Wallace of Tuckahoe, N.Y. 50 Years Ago April 24, 1969 Construction of a new county office building, initially estimated to cost $1 million, will begin soon after plans are finished, County Board Chairman John B. Adams said Tuesday. A study conducted by a special committee last October recommended construction of the building in order to meet the need for office space by 1980. Site of the two-story structure is the location of the present rear wing of the Warren Green

Building in Warrenton. Army Spec. 4 Tex A. Ralls, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ottie E. Ralls of Warrenton, was assigned March 24 to the 26th Engineer Battalion Americal division, near Chu Lai, Vietnam. Spec. Ralls, a demolition specialist, entered the Army in January 1968. T. Linwood May, executive vice president and manager of Fauquier Savings and Loan Association, has been appointed vice-chairman of the 1969 Committee on Capital Stock Associations of the U.S. Savings and Loan League. 25 Years Ago April 27, 1994 Persistent and believable rumor has it that retailing giant Wal-Mart is studying the feasibility and desirability of locating in Warrenton. The expected site is adjacent to Country Chevrolet, off U. S. 15, 29 and 211 and the U.S. 17 spur. Opponents of Disney’s America predict that locating the theme park in Prince William County will accelerate suburban sprawl in Northern Virginia. The Piedmont Environmental Council, which is among Disney’s chief opponents, took members of the press and local planning officials on a day-long bus ride through the region on Monday. Ed Risse, of Synergy Inc. designed the tour to illustrate good and bad planning practices. —Compiled by John T. Toler

Never again: Redrawing the lines on public safety Gun manufacturers sell fully automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons that can be readily adapted to operate at fully automatic. They, along with ammunition manufacturers and the National Rifle Association, consistently oppose any effort to responsibly control gun ownership and the sale of military grade guns and ammunition. They justify their position by arguing that the only way to stop a “bad person with a gun” is through a “good person with a gun.” They would have us: further arm ourselves, “harden” public facilities and employ armed guards to protect our young people, public servants and churchgoers. Furthermore, the gun lobby and NRA argue that any action taken by government, even in the interests of public safety, limits our guaranteed right to “bear arms” as outlined in the second amendment. In regard to their first argument, I believe, perhaps a little too cynically, that their major motivator isn’t public safety but rather personal gain. Simply put, they do it for the money that comes from the free flow of arms and ammunition, both domestically and

internationally. Now in regard to their Second Amendment argument, I believe they are partially correct. Many in my family own guns, have served in the military, hunt, and feel the need to protect their families. They interpret the Second Amendment as giving them the right to own guns and are concerned about government restricting that right. I agree. But, what about our children’s right to go to school, our young people’s right to congregate in a public place, or the right of our citizens to pray peacefully without becoming a victim of gun violence? Now I cherish the Constitution; but, in all likelihood, when the founders wrote it, they were thinking of organized militias and armed homesteaders in the defense of their new country and their families. They had no idea that man’s technological efficiency at killing would advance so far that one deranged individual could cause mass carnage with a single weapon. Throughout our history, our laws sought to adapt to the times but, that adaptation usually lagged behind our technological advances. Such is the case with gun control. In the “Old West,” many townships

sought to protect its’ citizenry by making “gun-toting” on their streets illegal. Whenever gun violence endangered civil society, localities and states redrew the lines on public safety. And, when it became necessary to regulate firearms at the federal level, The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed by Congress. In today’s world, we do not allow citizens to own rocket-propelled grenades or other military hardware capable of mass destruction. However, we do allow assault weapons and add-on devices that make them even more lethal. Now we must ask ourselves, “If we have taken action in the past to ensure public safety, why not now?” The reasonable person must weigh public safety in the context of contemporary times. As for my personal contribution to the debate, I believe in coordinated universal background checks with a reasonable waiting period, the banning of fully automatic weapons, and the closing of internet and gun show loopholes. I do not believe in a national gun registry, the restricting of “private” gun sales/gifts to family or friends, or the prevention of interstate sales through licensed

dealers. The gun lobby and the NRA remain opposed to any legislative changes and, through campaign contributions and political threats, have pressured our politicians into silence. They seek no middle ground and use firebrand rhetoric to enflame the discourse and push their own self-serving agenda. So, what to do? Most of our politicians have a remarkable sense of self-preservation. Most of us, the electorate, are in favor of stricter gun laws. Together those two facts might offset our politicians’ fear of the gun lobby and the NRA. After all, they are accountable to us, the people who actually elected them. But we must find ways to speak out and tell them to enact responsible legislation that will increase public safety while ensuring individual liberty. And finally, we must tell them that we are tired of being asked to honor the victims with a few moments of silent prayer. We must make them understand that we honor the tragic dead not by our silence but by raising our voices and shouting, “Never again.” Don Bachmann Marshall

Carl Wiberg has the experience necessary to be commissioner of revenue However fashionable it might be currently to denigrate the judgment of experts, tax-paying Fauquier property owners need to recognize the importance of electing someone who understands

real-estate assessments as well as Ross D’Urso, to succeed him as the county’s commissioner of the revenue. By that measure, the only acceptable candidate in the upcom-

Election signs disturbing the view As we look outside at our beautiful Warrenton countryside with its glamorous flowering tree and beautiful greenery, has anyone else been disturbed by the continuous interruption of political pandering signs to vote for our sheriff? I know, freedom of speech; but I think it infringes on my freedom of

view in this gorgeous county. The signs are everywhere, and have been out for display since March, and will no doubt continue to dominate the landscape until way after the election is determined. Nancy Anderson Warrenton

Roundabout design is flawed I have now used Warrenton’s traffic circle enough to form an opinion. What were they thinking? It must have been designed by a committee of the local Mini Cooper club. Getting around it is a chore in a standard vehicle and larger vehicles must drag themselves and their loads across the center of the thing. The curbing around the circle is black from scuffed tires. It probably would have worked better if it was centered on the main road and was much larger. I am told this was installed in the interest of “traffic calming” (PC). I am willing to wager that any

reduction in accidents at the intersection will be more than offset by an increase in rear-enders caused by the removal of the deceleration lane to Walmart. Some years ago, I went up to the Warrenton town manager’s office to ask him about the town’s justification for the new meals tax. When I asked the question, he looked up from what he was doing and before going back to his work, said “Culpeper did it.” Looks like that line of reasoning is alive and well in Warrenton. Scott Carter Midland

ing June 11 Republican primary, whose winner likely will face no general election opposition, is Carl Wiberg. As engaging and pleasant as is Wiberg’s opponent, Eric Maybach, there is simply no logical reason to elevate an individual with no experience in property valuation to a position whose decisions require an intimate knowledge of the real-estate markets in one of the nation’s richest and fastest-growing regions. Carl Wiberg, on the other hand, has a long work history in both private and governmental real-estate value assessment in several Piedmont localities, including Fauquier County. Carl has been a professional assessor since 2005, first with the Wampler and Eanes appraisal firm and now on the staff of Loudoun County’s Commissioner of the Revenue. During his private-sector employment, he participated in Fauquier’s 2009 and 2013 quadrennial reassessments.

As his biography notes, “Carl has driven every road and seen most every farm and home and many of the businesses in this county … and has done reassessments in Clarke, Orange, Isle of Wight twice, Mathews, Essex and Charles City” counties. Significantly, Carl has been endorsed by Ross D’Urso, who is finishing his 24th year as Fauquier’s elected tax official, in part because he shares Ross’s long-term commitment to the use-value assessments and conservation easements that now help preserve the scenic agricultural character of 70 percent of Fauquier’s land area. If you share my view of Carl Wiberg’s worthiness for a vital county position, please consider a contribution to Friends of Carl Wiberg, 8565 Opal Road, Warrenton, VA 20186, and more importantly, vote for Carl Wiberg on June 11. Les Cheek Warrenton

Democrats support infanticide I agree with Gregory Schumacher that we should reject Democrats’ hypocrisy. Anyone who voted for “expansion of Medicare” is a Democrat. As Greg Schumacher said, when Brett Kavanaugh was appointed to the Supreme Court, it should have

been known that it was not a woman’s choice to kill her baby. Democrats support “infanticide” and tolerate it for bad behavior on the side of their own. Madge Eicher Warrenton

all fronts. Yet he’s willing to keep the course open. “I’m looking at a goal of 12,000 to 15,000 rounds annually and growing from there. In the years ahead this region will see continuing development, so play will naturally pick up.” In the golden age of golf, South Wales could post 30,000 plays a year.

The challenge

The good word in golfing today are the seniors who are still the most avid players and integral to the game’s success. But as that cohort ages, it will impact the viability of the industry. The biggest challenge is attracting younger players. “This year, we are offering an allday golf package of unlimited play. Players can golf the entire day for $55 on weekdays and $65 on weekends,” said Thompson. At courses east of Warrenton, a single round could cost upwards of $90 on weekdays and $120 on weekends. And chances are you’ll be surrounded by homes. South Wales is the ultimate country layout, where deer, turkey and even an occasional black bear can be seen ambling about. Another new offering is Annual Unlimited Play. At the beginning of the season, the price was $1,300 for the entire year. Each week into the season, the fee drops on a prorated basis. Under the program, a round of golf would cost $14 for a single player. Bring a buddy and the fee drops to $10. Social media is an avenue to scoring an even better deal: free golf. Each week the South Wales Facebook page announces the names of two players who have liked its page as winners of a free round. “Our Facebook messaging goes out weekly to up to 6,000 people. Those who have liked us are eligible for the free offer,” explained Thompson.

Each Thursday a group of golfers gathers to play a round that emphasizes fun over competitiveness. They are always looking for new players to join them. The highlight of the day is the 19th hole get together on the club’s deck overlooking the 18th fairway. Jimmy Mauro is general manager of the club; he was the head pro back in the 1990s and a member of the PGA. He is a retired federal police officer. “I used to try and qualify for the U.S. Open, the Kemper and other tournaments,” said Mauro. If you are in search of a lesson, Mauro is the man to see. Mauro also emphasizes that golfers over 55 receive a senior discount — $33 on weekdays and $38 on weekends. That same discount is offered to ladies and members of the military, law enforcement, and the firefighting community. Today he is the face of South Wales. Walk through the door of the pro shop and chances are he’ll be smiling and greeting you with a, “Hey, how are you doing!” Play a few rounds and he’ll know you by name. Tommy Thompson’s message to both skilled players and duffers is, “We’ve tried to bring comfort and quality to South Wales. “We are a public course and welcome all level of players. We are looking to keep South Wales alive and operating.” For information on rates, course layout and more, visit www.southwalesgc.com.

Too good to be true?

The conversation often progresses along a similar path: first skepticism of reverse mortgages, to comprehension, to the following statement, “This sounds too good to be true.” I get this progression, as I myself walked this precise path when I first learned about reverse mortgages. There are a few seemingly “too-good-to-be-true” elements of FHA-insured reverse mortgages, the first of which is its mode of repayment: this is a home equity lineof-credit that doesn’t saddle homeowners with a monthly mortgage payment. Rather, the loan is repaid on the back-end, in reverse, when the last homeowner permanently vacates the p r o p e r t y. There is simply no other home equity loan that does that. But another feature of a reverse mortgage is much less well-known: The unused balance in the line of credit grows over time, much the same way money in a high-interest savings account

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON grows over time. However, unlike monies in a savings account, the compounding growth on a reverse mortgage line of credit is not taxable. This growth, along with the principal, is there for the homeowners to use as needs arise. And this growth can be substantial – at today’s rates and terms, h o m e ow n ers starting off with some $90,000 in their line of credit might expect to have some $16 5, 0 0 0 in 10 years. This means that if the homeowners were to do a reverse mortgage before they need the funds, and were to let the line of credit grow for 10 years, by the time

vary, and every homeowner’s circumstances are a bit different. So are long-term financial 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, and a reverse mortgage can play a very important role in financial wellness in the retirement years. 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.

they start accessing the monies there would be far more available to them than there had been at the outset. And, as I mentioned, this growth is always tax free. Several misconceptions often surround reverse mortgages, including the question of who owns the home. The answer, without any caveats, is “the homeowner.” End of story. The second question often is whether the homeowners, the heirs, or the estate, can end up owing the lender if the home were to decrease in value. Again, without any caveats, the answer is “no.” And a third question I am often asked is whether there is a prepayment penalty if the homeowner moves. Nope, never – there is never any kind of prepayment penalty. As an aside, I once went to someone’s reverse mortgage seminar, and the speaker said, “Reverse mortgages are a miracle!” Maybe I have a higher bar for miracles. Or maybe, as a reverse mortgage specialist, I take exception to silly statements like that. Reverse mortgages are not a miracle. But they’re also not a mystery; they’re just a mortgage – a mortgage with some amazing features, it’s true, but just a mortgage, in most regards just like any other mortgage we all grew up with.

NO THIRST FOR ENERGY DRINKS

Athletic trainers at Fauquier, Liberty and Kettle Run are constantly reminding their athletes to say away from caffeinated energy drinks and hydrate the right way.

Citing athlete safety, high schools continue ban on potent high caffeine beverages By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Healthy energy does not come from a can. That’s the message Kettle Run, Fauquier and Liberty high sports trainers are constantly reminding their athletes about energy drinks. Unlike sports drinks that provide rehydration, high caffeine energy drinks have numerous side effects that can include increased anxiety and heart palpitations and don’t promote hydration. The VHSL (Virginia High School League) banned them in 2010 for use in practice and competition. In 2018, the National Federation of State High School Associations – the governing body for high school sports – reiterated that view. “Energy drinks ARE NOT sports drinks and should not be used by athletes in training or competition,” it said in a statement. Fauquier High trainer Bryan Grimley says he’s vigilant in telling kids to avoid products like Red Bull, especially athletes, who could fall victim to mass marketing by energy drink companies.

VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE RULES ON ENERGY DRINKS

Athletes are prohibited from consuming energy drinks during participation in VHSL practices and competitions. VHSL will issue an official warning for first violation. a. Energy drinks shall not be used for hydration. b. Energy drinks shall not be consumed by athletes who are dehydrated. c. There is no regulatory control over energy drinks, thus their content and purity cannot be ensured. d. This may lead to adverse sideeffects, potentially harmful interactions with prescription medications (particularly stimulant medications used to treat ADHD), or positive drug tests. “Companies have started marketing them as energy drinks for athletes. They are saying use it to fuel yourself before a game to target the youth athlete demographic,” said Grimley. “People believe everything on the market is safe. That is not true.” Teens alone consumed $16.3 billion worth of energy drinks in 2016,

“If you look at a lot of those energy drinks, it says right on the label ‘Not intended for people under 18 years of age.’’’ BRYAN GRIMLEY Fauquier High trainer

with Red Bull the No. 1 seller. With adolescent consumption expected to rise, the industry fiercely defends its highly profitable product line, all while coaches and trainers are trying to keep athletes from them. “These drinks are harmful and our member schools do an excellent job providing safe environments during competition,” said Mike McCall of the Virginia High School League. Sports drinks are different from energy drinks because they provide rehydration during athletic activity and contain a six to eight percent carbohydrate solution and a mixture of electrolytes to allow maximum absorption of fluid by the gastrointestinal tract. Energy drinks typically contain a higher carbohydrate concentraSee ENERGY, page 19

Former Fauquier High soccer star Caity Ashley clocks swift time at famous marathon By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

They say the adrenaline and grit can lead people to great things. Former Fauquier High girls soccer star Caity Ashley showed that at the Boston Marathon, completing the legendary race with a superb performance on April 15. Ashley placed 246th among women in three hours, three minutes and 45 seconds for the 26.2 miles. Approximately 12,000 women ran, and Ashley’s time – in just her second marathon – put her in the top two percent. “When I crossed the finish line, I was so relieved. The last mile hurt really bad,” said Ashley, who graduated from FHS in 2013. Ashley said she immediately started crying after receiving her finisher’s medal. “I was pretty overwhelmed with gratitude about being able to be a part of an event that has given so much to the world of running,” she said.

Johnson, whose time was 3:09:07. “She was healthy, motivated and very excited. She ran with exuberance and that showed in her amazing finish,” said Rick. Ashley, who ran middle distances at Roanoke College, was elated to knock almost 20 minutes off her time of 3:25.47 at the City of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh, N.C., in November, 2017. That time of 3:25 qualified her for Boston, which required 3:35 or better for women her age. She had a strong performance at a half-marathon in March, running at 6:26 per mile pace, and came into Boston targeting a time of 3:10. She beat that goal solidly by starting slowly. On advice of her former track coach at Roanoke College, she set an early pace of 7 minutes, 10 seconds per mile, before speeding up later. She ended up averaging an impressive 7:01 per mile for the race. “It was smart pacing, and I avoided the wall that most people hit in the later miles,” Ashley said. Her bib number of 14,589 placed her near the middle of the 30,000-runner field at the start, leaving her to weave through large packs in the opening six miles to find a comfortable space. As the finish drew closer, she became more aware of what has made Boston so iconic. “The last few miles after the hills were insane with the amount of spectators screaming,” she said. “I just thought it was really cool that you can have an experience like that as an amateur athlete. That's what makes Boston so special.”

After graduating from Roanoke in 2017, Ashley began marathon training. Her mother, Angie, ran a marathon when Ashley was a high school freshman, and the challenge intrigued her. “I needed a new goal for myself so I signed up for City of Oaks,” said Ashley. Ashley hopes to break the threehour barrier in her next marathon. Her long-term aim goal is to run 2:45, which is the B Standard Olympic Trials qualifying time. “So I'm meditating on that and thinking about longevity in the sport,” said Ashley, who dreams of making the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials.

NO LEAD IS SAFE IN THIS RIVALRY Lacey’s OT goal gives Liberty dramatic 15-14 girls lacrosse win over Fauquier By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Two meetings, two amazing girls lacrosse games between Fauquier and Liberty. Liberty won again Monday night as senior Kaila Lacey scored with 34 seconds left in the first overtime for a 15-14 victory in Bealeton. Her third goal of the night ended a wild contest filled with substantial momentum swings and gave Liberty a season sweep. The Eagles beat the Falcons 11-10 on April 4 with a goal in the final 30 seconds. Liberty improved to 8-2 and 2-1 in Region B, while the Falcons fell to 3-4, 1-2. Both teams were coming out of spring break with little or no practice, but the lull had no adverse effect on Liberty, which scored 34 seconds in on a Gretchen Thomas goal. Liberty’s lead reached 6-0 at the 5:43 mark as Emma Miller, Mallie Lanier, Thomas, Lacey and Lauren James all found the net in quick succession. The game appeared headed for a stampede, much to Liberty assistant coach Kat Tines’ merriment. “They were working hard together. The passing in the midfield and our transition were working,” See EAGLES, page 17

Highland girls lacrosse squad is still No. 1 By Dave Henrickson Special to the Times

Is the powerful Highland School girls lacrosse team more mortal this year? After winning their third straight Virginia Independent School Athletic Association (VISAA) Division II state title last spring, the Hawks lost nearly half of the starting squad to graduation. “This is the first year that we’ve had to put a new team together,” said coach Kristen Conques. “I was really concerned about our defense.” Rumors of their demise are greatly exaggerated. Led by solid veterans and a host of new starters, Highland is off to a fast start at 15-0. They’re sitting 5-0 in Delaney Athletic Conference play, and currently ranked No. 1 in the latest state-wide coaches’ poll. Leading the defense is senior Margaret Groux, the lone returning defensive starter, and new starter Chloe Osborn, a senior who will play lacrosse next year at Vassar College. Conques says Groux has been a standout. “She’s taken over as our leader on defense,” the coach said. Freshman Skylar Place was part of last year’s team as an 8th grader and is now one of the team’s defensive stalwarts.

land’s recent girls basketball state championship team. “They are great athletes and understand how to play defense,” said Conques, who is also utilizing softball player Jenna Place, a senior. “She’s so aggressive and picking it up fast,” Conques said. Rounding out the defense is eighth grader Hunter Hearsey. Hunter is a captain of the middle school team in addition to playing varsity for the first time this year. Senior Madison Turner is the team’s lone goalkeeper. “We’re all in on Maddie. She’s a three-year starter who’s gotten stronger every year,” said Conques. “We were in desperate need of a goalie three years ago. It took a lot of recruiting but Maddie stepped up and she’s been great.”

‘Awesome’ midfield connection

Leading Highland’s all-star midfield is Kayla Soltys. A fifth year starter and the Hawks’ lone captain, she’ll play lacrosse at Mercer University, a Division I program located in Macon, Georgia, next year. “A lot of our offense comes through Kayla off fast-breaks and transitions. Kayla wins a lot of draws and we go right on the attack,” Conques said. Her sister, sophomore Abby Soltys, is a third-year starter praised for her field vision. “She can visualize the next pass and the pass after that before the ball has left her stick,” said Conques. Sophomore Gabby Brisbin may be the most athletic and experienced of Highland’s dynamic midfield. “Both Gabby and Kayla have the rare combination of stick skills and speed. They can slide through five

defenders and go straight to goal. Our midfielders can take over a game,” Conques said.

Young players lead attack

With just two upperclass attackers returning, Highland’s attack has been completely retooled. Juniors Cristina Sirianni, Ella Nelson and sophomore Caite Leake are the only returning scorers. Sirianni has been this year’s breakout star. “Every game, Cristina keeps gaining confidence,” said Conques. “She is so good at visualizing runs and has been scoring some fantastic goals for us this season.” Leake, who has also played on the team since her eighth grade year, and freshman Juliana Silvernale, are settling in as long-term fixtures. “I see Caite in the midfield next year. I hope she’ll take on more of a leadership role when Kayla graduates,” said Conques.

Down goes Foxcroft

Brisbin scored seven goals last Thursday as Highland continued their undefeated start by beating Foxcroft 20-5 on the road in Middleburg. “It was a great game for us,” said Conques. “Foxcroft doubled Kayla to take her out of the game and our other midfielders and attackers responded. They showed we can win without Kayla.” Against John Paul the Great at home on Wednesday, the game started out close as the teams traded goals. In the second half, the Hawks took over with eight unanswered goals for a convincing 18-7 win. Brisbin had eight goals, Kayla Soltys had four and Abby Soltys had three.

Eagles hang tough with OP softball juggernaut, but lose 4-2 By Jeff Malmgren

a bases-loaded RBI-single in the bottom of the 10th inning for the only run of the game and a walk-off victory. Relief pitcher Stephen Hiner earned the win by striking out one and allowing one walk and zero hits over two scoreless innings after starter James Swart struck out nine while allowing three hits and a walk over eight scoreless innings. Carson McCusker had two steals and a walk on 2-for-3 hitting, while Whitt went 1-for-4 with an RBI, walk and steal.

Times Staff Writer

The Liberty High softball team showed its talent in Monday’s 4-2 loss to powerful Osbourn Park. “It definitely gives me confidence,” Eagles coach Chris Leatherman said of hanging with OP, which improved to 13-0 and is a contender for the Class 6 title. “I was excited about this game. I’d much rather come and play a team that’s 12-0 than a team that [has] been beat. “It was definitely a game we could have won,” he said. “Play the team 10 times and hopefully we split.” Liberty pitchers Taylor Smith and Hope Mullins fared well, especially by weathering four errors. Smith started and finished with three strikeouts while allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and zero walks over 4 1/3 innings. She used her change-up especially well, often throwing it early in the count to set up her fastball, with the Yellow Jackets expecting a vice-versa approach. “Did a really good job of keeping us off balance,” said OP coach Patrick DeRosa. “We were way out in front of it.” Mullins added four strikeouts while allowing a hit and walk over 1 2/3 scoreless innings.

FHS baseball wins twice

The Fauquier Falcons won consecutive baseball games for the first time this season by beating Edison 5-3 on April 17 and defeating T.C. Williams 1-0 on April 16. Against Edison, the Falcons used a four-run sixth inning to overcome a 3-1 deficit to improve their record to 4-7.

Relief pitcher Nick Curtis earned the win by allowing one run on two walks and a hit over one inning. Starter Harrison Whitt struck out five and allowed two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings. Dennis Minter added the save by striking out one without allowing a hit or walk in a scoreless seventh. Offensively, Stefon Schoonheydt went 1-for-1 with two runs while Nate Winebarger went 2-for-4 with one RBI. Whitt added a double and run on 1-for-2 hitting. Against T.C. Williams, Whitt hit

In a nine-inning baseball battle, Kettle Run beat Osbourn Park 8-6 as Joe Vogatsky hit an RBI single and Zach Ewald hit a two-run double. Vogatsky also hit a solo home run in the fourth inning to help the Class 4 Cougars (6-6) beat Class 6 OP. He finished with three runs and two RBIs on 2-for-5 hitting, while Caden DeCroo went 3-for-5 with two runs, a double and steal, and Ewald finished 1-for-1 with a steal. DeCroo also earned the pitching victory as a reliever, while Declan Downey claimed the save. DeCroo allowed one run on three walks and a hit with a strikeout over one inning, while Downey allowed two walks and a hit over one scoreless inning.

Eagles escape Falcons in OT EAGLES, from page 15 Tines said of the fast start. Fauquier watched the Eagles win a lot of early draws, which put the Falcons in a hole. “We can’t keep giving up a seven-point spread to start,” Fauquier coach Ken McInnis said of a persistent problem. “I’ve tried everything. It just takes time for some of these girls to get worked up.” Falcon Abby McCusker scored to interrupt Liberty’s surge, but the Eagles responded with goals from Jada Milton and Thomas for their largest lead at 8-1 less than 11 minutes in. Fauquier’s rally began with a 5-2 run to end the half, cutting the Eagles’ lead to 10-6. Fauquier closed to 10-9 early in the second half as Sarala GraysonFunk scored twice and Jamie Renzi once. Liberty tallied three of the next five scores for a 12-10 edge, but Grayson-Funk struck twice, the second coming off a Zoe Savage assist to make it 12-12 with 11:32 left. Liberty retaliated on goals by Lacey and Thomas, her seventh of the game, to lead 14-12 with 4:15 to play. The Falcons refused to quit, as Grayson-Funk fed McCusker to cut the Eagles’ lead to 14-13 with 2:48 left. Liberty went to a delay spread,

running off more than 90 seconds. A foul gave Liberty’s Lanier a free position with 44 seconds to go, but Falcon goalkeeper Gillian Fanning made the stop. Fauquier raced downfield and O’Hara scored with four seconds to play to make it 1414, forcing a three-minute OT. Liberty ultimately prevailed on Lacey’s goal about two minutes in, but the Falcons showed toughness. “To be down 8-1 and bring a team back to go into overtime, I was thrilled with that,” McInnis said. Thomas led all scorers with seven goals for the Eagles, followed by Lacey with three. Single goals came from Miller, Lanier, James, Miller and Regan Keys. The Falcons were led by GraysonFunk’s five goals, while McCusker and O’Hara struck three times each. Taylor DeHaven, Savage and Renzi had one piece.

THE UNDERSTUDY STEPS UP Moscato outshines champion stablemate in Grade 2 Gwathmey By Betsy Burke Parker

THIS WEEKEND’S RACES

Special to the Times

With three of the 10 starters in Saturday’s $75,000 Temple Gwathmey Handicap headliner at the 99th annual Middleburg Spring Races, the surprise wasn’t that owner Bruton Street and trainer Jack Fisher landed in the winner’s circle. The surprise was who joined them. Moscato was discounted at 146 pounds to stablemate and prior ‘chase champ Scorpiancer, rated 158-pound highweight. The understudy took advantage of the 12-pound break in the weights to extend for an emphatic, 3½ length victory in the Grade 2 race at historic Glenwood Park. The victory was one of three wins on the card for defending champion trainer Fisher and journeyman jockey Michael Mitchell. The dominant novice champion in 2017 before going to the sidelines that September, Moscato surprised his Maryland connections with a powerful punch following 19 months away from the racecourse. “You never know how they’ll shape up first time back,” said Fisher, who added that he was pleased how the gray English-bred figured in the 2½-mile race from start to finish. “He rated well … and I liked how he was definitive (in the) stretch.” Moscato faced four Grade 1 winners in the star-studded field, and Fisher had been conservative with his personal assessment before the race because of the extended layoff. “He’s been off a while,” said the defending leading trainer. “You know it’s tough to come back at this level (against) this company.” “He handled the ground,” Mitchell said of Moscato’s performance over the sweeping Glenwood oval that had been pelted with a Friday storm that dumped more than a half-inch of rain. “He moved well past the leader (Belisarius) in the stretch, and finished with plenty in hand.” Lightweight Belisarius (Bernie Dalton up, rated 142) finished second, with Bruton Street’s Jaleo (Willie McCarthy, 146) third. Prominent early, Scorpiancer pulled up sharply before the third

An 8-year-old Hernando gelding, Moscato won five on the turf at England’s top courses in 2016, then placed in three of four hurdle starts before imported to America for the 2017 season. He broke his maiden at Charlotte, won the allowance at Nashville and added novice stakes from Saratoga and Belmont before sidelined a year and a half.

Mitchell’s amazing return

The same unremarkable, April 2017 maiden hurdle race in Charlotte that Moscato won to launch his remarkable U.S. career was a life-threatening disaster for Mitchell. Riding Moss Code, the former champion rider in New Zealand was kicked in the face when he went down at the last in the Queen’s Cup opener in Charlotte. Mitchell underwent surgery to reconstruct a broken eye socket, broken cheekbone and shattered jaw. Amazingly, Mitchell returned to the saddle in less than 12 weeks, riding a winner first race back, Show Court at Parx.

Coincidentally, Show Court was in Saturday’s Gwathmey, and matched strides with Moscato early in the running but was winded after 2 miles and pulled up. Fisher and Mitchell connected with allowance hurdle winner Special Relation in the card opener, closing out the program with cross-country ‘chase winner Days of Thunder.

Middleburg Hunt Cup

A first-time starter over timber, Ballybristol Farm’s Andi’amu rewarded trainer Leslie Young’s confidence in the French-bred by winning the fiercely competitive $30,000 Middleburg Hunt Cup. Trained in Pennsylvania by Young and ridden by current leading jockey Jack Doyle, the 9-yearold took command at the 15th from tiring Grand Manan (McCarthy) and fought off a challenge from local hope Le Chevalier (Kieran Norris) at the last to win the 3 ¼-mile race by nearly six lengths. Andi’amu won the cross-country Alfred Hunt at Middleburg Spring last year, adding the similar Steeplethon at Great Meadow two weeks later, but he’d never tackled a “normal timber race, especially not coming in at this (major stakes) level,” Young explained. “We were out of options for him over hurdles, and there are only the two steeplethons (on the steeplechase circuit, as opposed to dozens of race choices over timber,)” she said. “He’s a really nice See MOSCATO, page 19

Grimley said research has shown quick ingestion on those amounts may cause high blood pressure and possible arrhythmia even in teenagers. “Your heart rate could be skyrocketing,” he pointed out. To answer growing criticism, energy drink manufacturers continually tinker with formulations, adding vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other substances. They also have begun lowering or eliminating sugar in response to national concern about the growth of Type II diabetes. Kettle Run trainer Natalie Campbell said avoiding caffeine, a significant diuretic, is vital to staying hydrated. “During a school day, no one stays hydrated like they need to. It’s hard for us when they don’t drink anything before they come to practice. By then, it’s way too late,” Campbell said. When they came on the market, many main ingredients of energy drinks included copious amounts of caffeine said to be equivalent to six soft drinks. Some had enough sugar to make five doughnuts. While capable of providing quick bursts of energy, subsequent scientific research revealed multiple health concerns. Artificial sweeteners are now be-

New tropical fruit flavors have been released, as has a line of coffee-flavored offerings to increase interest among consumers, particularly the young. “If you look at a lot of those energy drinks, it says right on the label ‘Not intended for people under 18 years of age,’ because there’s no data on how those ingredients affect children,” said Grimley. Liberty trainer Mandy Carter said cramping is the prime side effect of dehydration. Cramps could lead to removal from a contest, a fact she emphasizes to Eagle athletes. “If an athlete is not hydrated for a

game, they know they face the consequences. There’s a direct correlation with hydration and sports performance,” said Carter. Dehydration also lessens cognitive abilities and makes injuries more possible, said Grimley. “They think they are hydrating because they are drinking when they actually are doing the opposite,” Grimley said. The bottom line is that energy drinks are not needed. School officials want an athlete’s diet to provide the necessary energy levels and hydration. Campbell said she and Kettle Run strength and conditioning wizard Bill Whisenant “talk about there is a right way and a wrong way. Get your

Grimley said balanced meals and drinking water should provide the needed vitamins, electrolytes, carbohydrates and protein to maintain energy and health. A piece of fruit, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a granola bar along with water should provide the pre-practice boost athletes seek. “It’s all about eating right, water and hydration and knowing what you are taking before you take it,” Grimley said. He said supplements should be used only under medical supervision.

A family murdered, a crime avenged Long-forgotten lynching brought to light By John Toler

Associate Editor

The opening of the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2018 has brought a renewed focus on the brutal crime of lynching. It is a memorial to the more than 4,300 African Americans documented to have been killed by lynching in the U.S. between 1877 and 1950. Tragically, these people were killed in vicious acts of “racial terrorism,” meant to threaten and intimidate. But there have been other acts of lynching in our history, where the motivation for the killing was vengeance, or “vigilante justice.” The crimes committed by Shedrick Thompson and his lynching in Fauquier County in 1932 have been documented by author Jim Hall in “The Last Lynching in Northern Virginia” (2016), but the murder of a Fauquier County family on the night of Nov. 9, 1891, the controversial trial of the two men convicted of the crime, and their subsequent lynching have largely been forgotten.

The tragedy unfolds

Widowed the year before, Mrs. James W. Kines and her young children – Lizzie, 8, Annie, 10, and Gilbert, 4 – were living in a tenant house on the Samuel McMillan farm, along the Virginia Midland Railroad tracks near Calverton. An older son, Robert Jacob Kines, lived elsewhere. It was known in the community that following the death of her husband, Mrs. Kines had come into a modest sum of money, perhaps as little as $70. This led investigators to believe the motive was robbery.

The tragedy was revealed early on Nov. 10, 1891, when Thomas Robinson, who lived nearby, saw the Kines’ house on fire, and rushed to the scene with his son, George. Pushing in the door of the burning house, they found Lizzie’s body on the floor by the doorway and the badly burned bodies of Mrs. Kines and Annie further inside. All bore evidence of a savage attack with wounds caused by a sharp tool, perhaps a pick axe. Gilbert was missing, and it was initially believed his body had been consumed in the fire. The first suspect in the crime was a farm laborer who had run nearly a mile to report the fire; investigators thought it was strange that he fled the scene rather than trying to help the victims. During questioning by Sheriff Robert Whitaker, it was revealed that he had not even been at the house but was ordered to go for help by Lee R. Heflin. Heflin, 29, worked at the McMillan farm and lived with the Dye family. Heflin claimed that he was shucking corn in a field about 40 yards from the Kines house when he saw the fire around 7:30 a.m. and ordered the laborer to go for help. He immediately became a suspect. Continuing the investigation, the next day, Whitaker arrested Heflin and George Dye, son of Joseph Dye, for the murders. After further questioning, George Dye was released, and Joseph Dye arrested for the alleged crimes. The suspects were first taken to the county jail in Warrenton, but as word of the murders spread throughout the community, people were outraged and there was talk of vigilante vengeance. Heflin and Dye were taken to the Alexandria Jail for their

When they removed the body, they found a coat and bloody overalls that belonged to Heflin. Planting a detective posing as a fellow inmate in Heflin’s cell, investigators got Heflin to talk, eventually revealing critical details about the murders. Realizing he had given himself up, Heflin confessed. He told investigators that he had come to the Kines’ home at about 8 p.m. on Nov. 9 and demanded Mrs. Kines give him her money. When she refused, he “struck her with a piece of wood… and when the children began to cry, hit them too.” Heflin took the money and buried it beside a fence post at the Dye house. The next morning, he admitted returning to the scene and setting the house on fire. Not convinced he acted alone, investigators pressed Heflin for details. They learned that the night before, he and Joseph Dye had discussed killing Mrs. Kines because she had been gossiping about the Dye family, which had forced one of the Dye daughters to leave the area.

the evidence made it clear he was involved. Changing strategy, his attorneys proposed that Mrs. Kines had killed her children and committed suicide. That claim was quickly dismissed. On the stand, Heflin stated, “All I know is that I did not do the murder. Dye did the murder and got me to burn the house.” He also said that his confession was coerced – and made while he was drunk. After three hours of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Heflin for two counts of murder. Joseph Dye was indicted on murder charges on Jan. 6, 1892, and was also defended by Campbell and Meredith. After a delay, the trial began with Heflin repeating that Dye instigated the crime because of Mrs. Kines’ gossip about his family. Heflin described how Dye had come to his room around 3 a.m., and that they had gone to the Kines home where Dye broke in and killed the occupants while he watched from outside. After stealing the money, they set the house on fire, but it did not burn. Dye told Heflin to return the next See LYNCHING, page 22

Heflin was the first to be tried, appearing in court on Dec. 28, 1891. After hearing the evidence, a grand jury returned two murder indictments for the killing of Mrs. Kines and Annie. Later that day the trial began. Defending Heflin were court-appointed attorneys E. E. Meredith and Robert R. Campbell; the commonwealth’s prosecutor was James Payne Jeffries. By the time the trial started, an angry crowd intent on lynching Heflin had gathered outside the courthouse. At one point, they broke into the courtroom, creating chaos until they were removed. As expected, Heflin pleaded not guilty, but his detailed confession and

Long forgotten lynching brought to light See LYNCHING, page 21 morning and finish the job, and he would split the money with him. On Jan. 9, the jury convicted Dye of first-degree murder. Both men were sentenced to be hanged on March 18, 1892. However, due to inconsistencies in the testimony, on March 14 Gov. Philip W. McKinney granted Heflin a 60-day respite and allowed Dye’s attorneys to petition for a new trial.

The lynchings

The public was outraged and concerned that Heflin and Dye would escape punishment. Aware of the public anger, Jailor C.M. Pattie arranged for the pair to be taken to Gainesville and placed on a train to Alexandria for safekeeping. Just before midnight on March 17, 1892, Heflin and Dye were handcuffed together and placed in a wagon headed for the train station at Gainesville. In addition to Sheriff Pattie, there were two guards and the driver. An hour after they left, an armed mob of at least 35 masked men rode into town. Entering the jail and finding the prisoners gone, they set out for Gainesville, catching them just west of the village. Pattie realized that resistance would be futile, and the prisoners were pulled from the wagon. Demanding the truth, the masked men got Dye to admit killing Mrs. Kines and her daughters, and Heflin to kill-

ing Gilbert and burning the house. With that, Heflin and Dye were hung from cedar trees standing along the right side of the road. To make sure they were dead, both men were shot several times. The mob returned to Fauquier on the Greenwich Road, and Pattie and the guards spent the night in Haymarket. The next morning, Prince William County authorities were called to investigate. The bodies were cut from the trees and brought to the Gainesville depot, where they remained until their families recovered them. Fauquier officials were criticized for taking the prisoners from the jail, where they had some protection, and the deputies involved could not identify anyone in the mob. There was later a grand jury inquiry into the lynching in Prince William County, but no one was ever charged. Editor’s Note: This story last appeared in the Fall and Winter 1995 issue of News and Notes, that John Toler wrote for the society. Much of the information was gleaned from Prof. Robert A. Hodge’s 25-page treatise, The Lynching of Heflin and Dye (1972), which in turn drew on accounts in the Fredericksburg and Warrenton newspapers of the day. In addition, the Warrenton Virginian “Extra” dated March 18, 1892, supplied the artwork of the two men and an account of the lynching. Contact John Toler at jtoler@fauquier.com

Heflin and Dye were confined in the Fauquier County Jail behind the courthouse. The jailor at the time was C. M. Pattie.

American Battlefield Trust debuts Youth Leadership Team New program seeks young leaders and history enthusiasts to serve as battlefield ambassadors and advocates Staff Reports The American Battlefield Trust recently announced the launch of its Youth Leadership Team (YLT), an innovative initiative to directly engage with the next generation of battlefield preservationists. The YLT will unite 10 highly motivated high school students, selected from a nationwide applicant pool, who will serve as national advocates for America’s hallowed grounds. “It is absolutely critical that we pass the torch of knowledge onto future generations of Americans,” said Trust President James Lighthizer. “Every hour of every day, we fight to preserve our nation’s storied hallowed grounds. Encouraging our nation’s youth to understand what happened at these places, and how it has shaped us into the country we are today, is important for our future. The Trust is excited to work with our Youth Leadership Team participants, both to learn from them and to help others learn through them.” The YLT will be comprised of history enthusiasts, aged 13 to 18, who support and embody the Trust’s mission to protect our nation’s hallowed battlegrounds and educate the public about their importance in our national story. YLT members will participate in key Trust events, including the annual

conference and a youth Capitol Hill event, in addition to planning and undertaking a battlefield project in their own communities. “Working with our nation’s youth is the only way to truly ensure that love and appreciation for our shared history is carried forward,” remarked Connor Townsend, YLT coordinator. “By not only teaching but involving youth in hands-on preservation efforts, we hope to create ambassadors for our mission who stay with us as they mature.” YLT participants will be positioned to speak about the importance of battlefield land preservation and, through a special hometown battlefield project, connect history to our modern world. Applications for the inaugural YLT class are now live on their website at www.battlefields.org through May 31. All interested high school students between the ages of 13 and 18 are encouraged to apply. The American Battlefield Trust is dedicated to preserving America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educating the public about what happened there and why it matters today. The nonprofit, nonpartisan organization has protected more than 50,000 acres associated with the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War. Learn more at www.battlefields.org.

Moo Thru’s Mobile Truck, which will be one of the food trucks at the WARF’s Wednesday evening events, was at the Piedmont Environmental Council’s office on Monday, April 22, for Earth Day, serving up several flavors of it’s creamy confections.

Food trucks offer fresh from the farm fare WARF hosts mid-week opportunity for summertime food and fun By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

The weather cooperated on Saturday for the opening of the Warrenton Farmers Market in Old Town. Head vendor Sue Olinger has been serving up her homemade pies for decades. “I am very excited going into the 44th year of the Warrenton farmers market. We will be offering several new items this year as we have had many new applicants. And, of course, all the established vendors will be returning, offering their tried and true products. We are so excited to see our community return to their Saturday morning ritual,” said Olinger. Starting next Wednesday, May 1, there will be another opportunity to sample local flavors when the food trucks arrive at the WARF. “This is the second year that we’ve done this,” said director of Warrenton Parks and Recreation Margaret Rice. “It was really popular last year and this year we’re adding picnic tables.” On Wednesdays, from 5 to 7 p.m., several food trucks will be at the WARF, offering a range of items, from empanadas and tacos to barbecue to ice cream. Rice encourages folks to stop by, stay for dinner and play, walk or swim. “You don’t have to be a member to take advantage of the walking paths or play equipment … and you can get a day pass to take advantage of the pool,” she said.

Some of the food trucks that will grace the grounds at the WARF include SoBo Mobile, Moo Thru and Two Smooth Dudes. SoBo Mobile’s recipes herald from the owner’s Mexican heritage and from their farm, where freerange chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows are raised in a loving manner. Food is prepared fresh and simply, garnering them a fan base for their south-of-the-border offerings. Dairy farmer Ken Smith introduced his retail outlet Moo Thru on Va. 28 in Opal several years ago, specializing in fresh milk and ice cream. With that success, he took Moo Thru on the road with a mobile truck to dispense his ice cream confections. Tater tots are taken to a new level with a Manassas food truck, Two Smooth Dudes. Try their Maryland crab or Italian tots or perhaps an almond spinach salad or wrap. Residents will be able to choose between indulgent or healthy at Two Smooth Dudes. Rice said there are still some spots available. In order to be given a place at the WARF’s Wednesday evening foodie fests, food trucks are required to have a permit and comply with various specifications. Rice and Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation Catherine Zimmer have been at the WARF for 12 years. “We’re very proud of this facility

and encourage all to give it a try,” said Rice. “Come for a day.” In May, the WARF will be offering a Community Wellness Challenge. “We’re working on the website and details will be done shortly,” said Zimmer, “but it will be lots of fun for the whole family.”

A bit of history

Just like heading to your favorite restaurant, visiting a food truck is a good choice for those who are after a quick -- but delicious -- bite on the go. It also helps if that food truck is near where you work or play. Food trucks have come a long way since the 1800s, when a cattleman and inventor named Charles Goodnight was credited with inventing the chuck wagon. In 1866, he used an army surplus Studebaker wagon to create, what many consider this country’s first food truck. He repurposed that first government wagon to include a cook’s worktable, complete with shelves and drawers for holding food and utensils. Cowboys referred to food as “chuck” so the portable wagons dispensing food became known as chuck wagons. And, according to sites like Food Truckr, the industry is booming. Latest statistics report that the food truck sector has skyrocketed, growing at an annual 7.9 percent over the last five years. Portland, Oregon, holds the title for the most food trucks per capi-

ta, boasting an estimated 500 total trucks. Fauquier County made it easier for food truck vendors to do business last May, when supervisors approved zoning changes to allow “mobile-eating establishments” to serve customers in more districts with fewer approvals. The trucks are welcome in county parks and on the grounds of public safety facilities. While a fairly recent trend in Fauquier County, food trucks are popping up at places like Old Bust Head Brewery where they often provide the menu while customers listen to live music.

Fauquier Arts Council–

Supporting arts and strengthening communities

The arts are alive and well and living in Fauquier County. It’s rare not to see some arts-related event in the local community calendars. The Fauquier Arts Council began in 2015 as a nonprofit “to support, advocate, and educate the community of artists and patrons.” Five local arts organizations were founding members: Allegro Community School for the Arts, Fauquier Community Band, Fauquier Community Theatre, Lasley Centre for the Performing Arts and Piedmont Symphony Orchestra. Soon thereafter the Warrenton Chorale and Silver Tones Swing Band joined. Strategically planning for the fifth anniversary in 2020, a rebranding of the arts council is underway. New volunteers are already in place to enhance the website, including adding a county-wide calendar for members to list upcoming arts events. Lachelle Yoder, one of the founding and current members, said, “I am looking forward to the arts council having a more active presence in the county to expand the arts.” Visual and performing arts are supported by the Fauquier Arts Council. The council’s logo contains symbols of dance, theater, music and art. Literary and media arts are listed on the membership form. Additional benefits have been added for members including: more networking opportunities, promotion of events, publishing articles in Allegro’s online arts magazine

The Arts Lady DEBRA ALESIA SMYERS HOUSE and posting directly on the art council’s Facebook page.

‘The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.’ By Dianne Moss

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier Community Theatre’s final show of the season is a classic production that is sure to delight both young and old. “My Fair Lady” is the musical version of George Bernard Shaw’s play, “Pygmalion,” that tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Covent Garden flower peddler who wants to take speech

lessons from Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor, in order to fulfill her dream of working in a flower shop. She yearns to get off the streets and have a place to call her own. The professor decides to take on the challenge and bets an old friend that he can transform the girl into a proper “lady” in six months. This charming story features many of Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s most sparkling songs, including “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?,” “Get Me to the Church on Time,” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.” “Rehearsals so far have been fantastic,” said Director Lucia Hanover.

Fauquier Community Theatre opens ‘My Fair Lady’ on May 3

“The cast is enthusiastic and creative, finding their characters through ‘play.’ I have encouraged them to use the text of the script to find their characters, and it has been a collaborative effort that has paid off.” Emily Miller plays the fetching Eliza. She recalls dancing around in her kitchen as a child, singing “I Could Have Danced All Night.” She said she was surprised and overjoyed to be cast as Eliza in FCT’s production and is working hard to perfect this challenging role – from her accent, to her appearance -- and especially her character.

Peter Marsh plays Henry Higgins, Emily Miller is Eliza Doolittle and David Horne portrays Colonel Pickering.

Peter Marsh is perfect as the self-absorbed Higgins, with a proper English accent and a superior air that plays opposite Eliza’s cockney brogue perfectly. Another delight is a newcomer, Mark Kaiser, who plays Eliza’s father, a drunk and a charlatan. His knack for physical comedy, facial expressions and animated dancing light up the stage. Adding to these lead roles are 20 other talented actors who are totally committed to bringing this classic tale to life on FCT’s stage in May. The show, including intermission, runs almost three hours. Fauquier Community Theatre’s production of “My Fair Lady” is produced by Amanda Gibson, sponsored by Brookside Neighbors, and presented by special arrangement with MTI, Intl. The nine performances of the play will be held at the Vint Hill Theater on the Green, 4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton from May 3 to 19. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18 for students and seniors, and $20 for adults. There will be a dinner and show on Sunday, May 5, with the purchase of a combo ticket. More information and reserved seating for all the performances is available online at www.FCTstage.org or by calling 540-349-8760.

THE LATEST NEWS FROM AND ABOUT THE FAUQUIER COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

THE LIBRARY PAGE WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | April 24, 2019

April showers bring May gardens Spring is here and it’s time to plant that garden. If you are new to gardening, or unsure where to start, stop at the local library. With materials on everything from how to start a raised bed garden to site and crop selection for an organic orchard, it is a great resource for novice gardeners and seasoned horticulturists alike. Here is a sampling of materials available at Fauquier County Public Library: • “The Family Kitchen Garden” by Karen Liebreich • “The Four Season Farm Gardener’s Cookbook” by Barbara Damrosch • Gardening 101 (Universal Class) • “How to Grow Anything” (DVD) • “Homegrown Harvest: A Sea sonBy-Season Guide” • “Raised-Bed Revolution” by Tara Nolan Those new to gardening may be surprised by how much food can be produced from a small patch of ground. Follow these tips to ensure a bountiful garden and pantry. Lettuce is usually high on everyone’s list and is easy to start from seed in early spring. Stagger plantings to ensure a continuous supply of these essential greens. Plant several varieties or a mesclun mix for a colorful sal-

ad with a spicy flavor. As the weather warms, plant more heat tolerant varieties such as Red Leaf or Summer Crisp. Add color and flavor to salads with tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are a good bet for the home garden because they’re prolific and a little easier to bring to maturity than the bigger, beefier varieties. Basil is the perfect accompaniment to those tomatoes. One basil plant is often enough to add a pop of flavor to foods, but more plants are needed to make pesto. Beets and radishes are staples of early spring gardens. Beet seeds don’t germinate well in the heat and radishes tend to bolt and get too spicy, so plant them early. Once harvested, replace them with all kinds of squash and cucumbers or with a planting of beans. Stagger bean plantings and change-up varieties to insure a steady supply or put them in all at once and prepare to do some canning. And those squash, well, keep an eye on them! Visit squash plants daily when they start producing so they can be picked when they’re just right. It’s better to harvest them a little on the small side than leave them overnight.

It seems they can triple in size in just 24 hours. Fruits of various kinds are great for the home garden but take a bit more planning and year-round care. Right now everyone is thinking of strawberries. What does it take to grow them? Strawberries are a two-year proposition since they really don’t produce much the first year. That first year is all about making and tending the strawberry bed so they’re ready to burst into fruit the following May. Read up on strawberry cultivation to understand the process. Raspberries canes and blueberry bushes also require dedicated space and a longer-term care commitment, including thinning each year to keep production strong. Plant them in a sunny location, keep them well watered and be prepared to cover them with bird netting as the fruit begins to ripen. For additional resources on gardening, stop by your local library location. Our friendly reference staff is happy to assist you. Happy planting! –Jeanne Day, Reference Librarian, Fauquier County Public Library

Remington hears legislative session highlights Del. Mark Cole, (R-88th) presented the highlights of the 2019 Virginia General Assembly session to the Remington Town Council on April 15. Of particular interest to the attendees was Senate Bill 1768, regarding the use of handheld personal communication devices in highway work zones and the associated penalty. Basically SB 1768 prohibits any person from holding a handheld personal communication device while driving a motor vehicle in a highway work zone. The bill provides that a violation is punishable by a mandatory $250 fine. The bill passed and is subject to review and veto by Gov. Ralph Northam. The governor sought to amend this bill, but his amendments were not passed. He has until May 3 to sign or veto the original bill. Current law prohibits only the reading of an email or text message on the device and manually entering only letters or text in the device as a means of communicating. A Prescription Drug Take Back Day event will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Remington Drug Store. This event provides for

The school will use the funds to purchase a Chromebook cart. The Hero’s Bridge committee raised more than $10,000 to assist veterans, ages 65 and older, in Fauquier and in surrounding counties.

Annual 4-H Show and Sale set for 1st weekend in May Easter Sunday is past; hope everyone had a beautiful day with church services and family celebrations. We have some beautiful Easter eggs that were made by a lady who was in her 90s; it’s always a pleasure to display them remembering the true meaning of the Easter season. Birthday greetings to two special neighbors: Donn Smith and Chip Strickler. It was reported that there were some celebrations held for these two that are well deserved. The Hoover Ridge Sheepdog trial will be held in Madison, Virginia, on Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28. This is a large trail with more than 100 entries so the organizers will be using two fields.

Early birds, be advised that the first runs start at 6:30 a.m. If you go, take a comfy chair and your own lunch. There will be some wine vendors and crafters set up between the trial fields. This is a fine chance to watch these amazing border collies work sheep through a timed course with the direction of a handler using voice and whistle commands. The trial field is located off U.S. 29; turn at the traffic light

Happy May Day! In Europe and North America, the custom of May Day is celebrated on May 1 by dancing around a maypole made of birch while holding onto ribbons. It is also marked with the giving of “May baskets” filled with sweets and flowers left anonymously on a neighbor’s doorstep as a thoughtful gift to brighten someone’s day. Trinity United Methodist Women will be having a Spring Fling on Saturday, April 27, from 8 a.m. to noon. The morning will begin with a home-cooked breakfast and include white elephant, quilt displays, antiques, vendors and much more. Trinity Church is at 9280 Old Dumfries Road, Catlett. Liberty High School Athletic Boosters will be hosting a Car, Truck and Tractor Show on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Liberty High School. There is a $25 registration fee and it is open to vehicles of all ages. The event will also include a 50/50 raffle, moon bounce, face painting, food trucks and DJ entertainment. Vendor space is available. For more information, contact Dawn Jeckell at 540-316-8194. Condolences to the Bender family on the death of their beloved Edna

All the high schools will host after-prom parties, which offer students a secure place to go and have fun with their friends. My hope is that all the students attending these events will have a safe and enjoyable evening. Drive carefully and don’t hesitate to call someone if you need assistance. Have a great week! Keep the news coming my way.

marked “Madison County Fairgrounds.” The Riverside Preserve on Leeds Manor Road is Fauquier County’s first public access to the Rappahannock River. This wonderful gift to our county was made possible by a gentleman who wanted friends and neighbors to enjoy the countryside as much as he and his family did. For now, the Preserve is open on weekends only. The entrance is a little tricky, so use caution if you decide to visit. The annual 4-H Show and Sale will be held at the Fauquier Fairgrounds the first weekend in May. This event provides the opportunity for 4-H members to show their project animals and then sell them. Many of these youngsters put their sale money toward college funds. Come out to help the kids! Are you hungry for fresh spring

veggies, home-grown meats and baked goods? The farmers market, located on Fifth Street in Old Town Warrenton, opened on April 20. The market is open each Saturday with old and new vendors who provide a great variety of interesting products. Get out your basket or shopping bag and come to visit. The Orlean Community Trail System will have the annual Snipe Hunt and potluck picnic on Saturday, May 18. This event is for all neighbors and friends in the Orlean area. The trail ride and nature hike will start from the Spreiser farm on Olinger Road. The picnic will be held on Jimmy Hitt’s farm across the road from Spreiser’s. Great opportunity to meet new neighbors and renew old friendships. More information about exact times for each activity to follow next week.

Annual trivia night raises monies for building project Staff Reports Women Build of Fauquier Habitat for Humanity has a goal this year to raise $20,000 to totally construct the four walls of a new home. Last year, thanks to community support, they raised almost $12,000 for essential home repairs. Our Saviour Lutheran Church will host the Fauquier Habitat for Humanity 16th annual Women Build Trivia Night, on Friday, May 10. Held at 6194 Dumfries Road, in Warrenton, the event offers dinner starting at 6 p.m. and trivia starts at 7 p.m. Silent and live auctions will be held during intermission. The cost is $10 a person to play, eight players per team. The pasta dinner is $10 per person. The Right Rev. Terri Church, pastor at Our Saviour Lutheran Church, sits on the board of Fauquier Habitat for Humanity. “You can’t hear about God when you are trying to take care of

Women Build volunteers work on a previous project. your babies and you don’t have adequate housing,” said Church when the group worked last year to raise monies for home repair projects. This year they are working to get the walls up on a future home. Church looks forward to the fun, and hopefully the funds, raised from the upcoming Trivia Night.

Women Build, a program under the umbrella of Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, brings together volunteers from all walks of life to build stronger, safer communities. Women and children typically are most likely to be affected by poor living conditions and Women Build focuses on proactive steps to serve an underserved population. There are two ways to donate. Send a check directly to Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, 98 Alexandria Pike, Suite 43, Warrenton, VA 20186 and specify your donation to 2019 Building Fund — Women Build. Or, donate through Fauquier Habitat’s online giving site. Visit www.fauquierhabitat.org/how-to-help/donate. All donations are tax-deductible, as allowed by law. To attend the Trivia Night event, contact Linda at 540-878-0908 or fauquierwbtrivia@ yahoo.com.

Drivers on Eustace Road to use temporary road A new traffic pattern is temporarily in place on Route 643 (Eustace Road) near the bridge over Licking Run in Midland, according to a Virginia Department of Transportation press release. Since March 11, crews have been working near the existing bridge to install a temporary road. Traffic will switch to the temporary road for about three months while the existing bridge is rehabilitated. Drivers should use caution approaching the work zone and be alert for VDOT crews working near the roadway.

PHOTO COURTESY OF KIMMIE COLEMAN A young helper works at a recent event to package food for students.

Volunteers needed to package meals for local kids Kimmie Coleman, attendance officer at Liberty High School, is organizing an event that will help feed local children who do not have enough to eat. She is partnering with The Journey Church and The Outreach Program. She said, “We purchase dried, non-perishable ingredients from The Outreach Program, and they provide us with the packaging, measuring utensils and everything necessary to create packaged meals for people who are food insecure.” She said, “I teamed up with Fauquier FISH, because I knew they had a weekend backpack program that provides meals to children in the community, so they don’t go hungry on the weekends. I work for Fauquier County Public Schools and unfortunately see many struggle with not knowing where their next meal is going to come from once they go home for the day.” Coleman is asking volunteers to help package 10,000 meals in two hours. The effort will be held at M.M. Pierce at noon on Saturday, April 27. Coleman said, “With help from you, your friends, family (bring your

kids!), work group, Boy Scout troop, soccer team, bandmates, neighbors, anyone you’d like to bring, we’ll help meet the needs of the community. “If you can’t make the event, please consider a donation to go toward the funds for the foods we will be packaging. We need $2,500 (to cover the cost of the food). We have already collected $1,616, so we need another $884.” So far, 63 volunteers are confirmed for the April 27 event. Coleman added that volunteers will be standing for the event and asks that volunteers do not wear jewelry. Volunteers will be wearing gloves. She said, “Hair will be pulled back and wearing a hair knit. Men, if you have beards and hair, it will be covered too.” She said, “If you have been sick within the past two weeks prior to the event, you may come but you won’t be able to work with the food while it’s out, only boxing it up.” Go to https://www.classy.org/ team/218229 to donate or go to https:// www.signupgenius.com/findasignup and search for “kcoleman10307@ gmail.com,” to sign up.

Wanda (Wynn) Hedlesky, 94, of Big Sandy, TN, passed away on April 5, 2019 at her home, surrounded by family and friends. Private memorial gatherings will be held at later dates (to be determined) in Tennessee and Hawaii. Wanda was the daughter of Ruby William Wynn and Alice Marie (Allen) Wynn and was born in Portageville, Missouri. The family moved to Ann Arbor, MI, when she was still a small child. After WWII began, she worked as a Rosie the Riveter in the converted Ford factory in Belleville, MI, riveting together B-24 bomber planes for the war effort. In 1945, she joined the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) and served as a medical technician, and later as a librarian. After the war, she met her husband, Michael Hedlesky, while both were attending Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI. They had 6 children within 5 years of being married, including 2 sets of twins. After living for a few years in Ann Arbor, MI, they moved to Ruby’s family home in Big Sandy, TN, and a few years later they eventually settled in Casanova, VA. Wanda was an elementary school teacher whom, to this day, is fondly remembered by many of her former students. She began her elementary school teaching in a one-room school house on Lick Creek Rd. in Benton County, TN. Then she taught in Waverly, TN and Fauquier County, VA. Finally, she became an elementary school teacher in Fairfax County, VA and taught there for over 20 years, specializing in teaching science. She received her Master’s degree in Education from the University of Virginia and received several National Science Foundation grants to take summer classes in astronomy, geology, and other science courses. She became a specialist in teaching science to 3rd and 4th graders and to their teachers, rotating through 40 elementary schools in Fairfax County, VA. Upon retirement, Wanda and Mike returned to live in Big Sandy, TN and cared for her parents for many years. Wanda loved being with family and friends, reading good books, and traveling with her husband, which included trips to Australia, Ireland, France, Isle of Man, and many US destinations, especially national parks. Michael passed away after 62 years of marriage on July 22, 2011. After his death, Wanda shared her time each year between her daughter, Katrina, in northern Nevada in the winter months, and her twin sons, Steve and Mike, along with her loving friend and caretaker, Marie DesJardins. We have many fond memories of this time shared with her. She is survived by five of her six children – Katrina Hedlesky (in Dayton, NV), twin sons – Dr. Steve Hedlesky and Michael Hedlesky (both in Big Sandy, TN), and twin daughters - Gina McCartney (in Vacaville, CA) and Anna Wynn (in Honolulu, HI). Her youngest son, David Hedlesky, passed away on June 20, 2018 in Woodbine, MD. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made, in memory of Wanda Hedlesky, to the Big Sandy Branch Library, 12 Front St., P.O. Box 115, Big Sandy, TN 38221 or the Henry County Medical Center Hospice at 301 Tyson Avenue, Paris, TN 38242. The family wishes to express their appreciation for the staff of the Henry County Medical Center, who provided very professional and loving support to Wanda in her final weeks of life.

HAVING THE FINAL SAY Divorce and remarriage can produce circumstances in which second spouses and the children of the deceased may be at odds. Matters to do with disposition of a loved one’s body are difficult enough, and when they involve opposing views, the high emotion and time constraints surrounding a funeral can add to the tension. One way to diffuse the stress caused by such a potentially volatile situation calls for the person at the center of it all to pre-empt any argument by making funeral prearrangements. We all have it in our power to make our wishes known to others before the time comes to carry them out. Doing so can bring harmony when and where it is sorely needed. Whether you decide to just provide personal information, make all or most of your selections, or completely plan and pay for your funeral in advance, our trained professionals will explain all of your choices, and will respect your decisions. If you are interested in learning more about the services MOSER FUNER AL HOME offers, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.” ~ George MacDonald
