County plan aims to place armed guards in Fauquier schools

By James Ivancic and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County school officials and Sheriff Bob Mosier are moving ahead with plans to eventually place armed security guards — either sworn law-enforcement officers or “school security specialists” — in each of Fauquier’s 20 public schools.

The county board of supervisors approved a plan May 10 to fund an additional 15 school-security-related positions, including three additional school resource officers and 12 “school security specialists,” guards who would be hired, armed and trained by the sheriff’s department to work in local schools.

In March, the supervisors approved a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 that includes

$766,229 to fund the additional positions.

The action followed a request from Fauquier Superintendent David Jeck to hire more security in the wake of the Parkland, Florida, school shootings in February. That’s when the school division hired three security specialists — who are not sworn officers and are not armed. One was assigned to each of the county’s three high schools.

In April, Jeck, County Administrator Paul McCulla and Mosier discussed converting two of the planned school security positions to school resource officers and transferring those three specialist positions to the sheriff’s office. The move allows the three specialists hired in February to transition to armed guards.

The two new school-resource officers will be

sworn officers employed by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, just as the existing eight SROs already are. Each of the county’s three high schools and five middle schools already had SROs on their campuses prior to the Florida school shootings.

The new SROs will be assigned to the Southeastern Alternative School and two elementary schools located furthest from the sheriff’s office headquarters in Warrenton: Claude Thompson Elementary School, in Marshall, and Mary Walter Elementary School in Bealeton.

The placement is based on the time it would take deputies to reach the school buildings in an emergency, Jeck said Monday.

“I have to admit when I saw Brentmoor up for sale I was stunned,” Kirk Goolsby, the probable new owner of the John Singleton Mosby House told the Warrenton Town Council last week just before it voted to sell the historic home to him and his wife, Robin.

“I thought ‘Oh my goodness!’ the place will be closed. Forever,” Goolsby said excitedly.

“It will become a Fort Knox for whomever the owner is. I won’t be able to come walk my dog up here anymore. I won’t be able to stick my head in the window and imagine what it was like for somebody to live here 150 years ago.”

FAUQUIER FOCUS

Mint condition musical harmonist

Picture a couple of young men, friends in college and on break visiting Washington, D.C. They stumble upon a barbershop quartet performing on a barge on the Potomac near the capitol. Perhaps it was the melodious tones that captured their imagination or perhaps it was the thought of having a musical gig that could put you on the water. That first harmonious exposure set in motion for Glenn Williamson an eventual path to Fauquier County and a 54-year relationship with the Barbershop Harmony Society headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Glenn joined in 1964. He has not only sung and served as an officer with various chapters, but also currently directs two groups – The Blue Ridge Barbershoppers in Warrenton and The Blue Run Troubadours in Manassas. Both groups are active in their respective communities, always open to engagements

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 16, 2018 whether they be private parties, assisted living homes or larger venues.

Glenn’s minor in music has led to a lifetime of involvement in barbershop harmony, a unique style of unaccompanied vocal music characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note. The melody is consistently sung by the lead​(second tenor)​, with the tenor ​(first tenor) ​harmonizing above the melody, the bass singing the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone completing the chord.

Perhaps the most familiarity with barbershop groups is a quartet, but they also sing in larger chorale groups. The Bull Run Troubadours is an example, with dozens of men donned in bright red vests and the traditional white shirts and black armbands.

Glenn exudes energy and excitement about his years of fellowship and music. His hope is that future generations will continue the Classified Sales Consultants Jeanne Cobert, 540-878-2491 jcobert@fauquier.com Evelyn Cobert, 540-878-2492 ecobert@fauquier.com

tradition.

“We do a lot with youth outreach,” says Glenn, “we want to help young people discover the joys and fun of singing together.”

The qualifications of joining a barbershop group are pretty simple. There are no auditions. If you are a male and like to sing and are willing to commit to a schedule, that’s pretty much it…but then there are those competitions which can take your performance to another level.

Barbershop quartets can go international on the stage of competition. And there are groups from countries like Japan and Sweden who compete. Trick is they have to sing in perfect English pronunciation.

Glenn smiled as he talked about the Musical Island Boys, the 2014 International Barbershop Harmony Society Quartet Champions. They hail from Wellington, New Zealand, and Melbourne, Australia. This polished and elegant a capella quartet continues to garner award after award while staying true to their Pacific roots.

And the women aren’t left out. Traditionally, the word “barbershop” has been used to encompass both men’s and women’s singing in the barbershop style – in quartets and choruses. Sweet Adelines International and Harmony, Inc. are two women’s barbershop singing organizations.

Glenn’s love of music was balanced by his decades of work for the U.S. Mint Department, specifically the commemorative coin program.

Since the modern commemorative coin program began in 1982, the U.S. Mint has raised more than $500 million to help build new museums, maintain national monuments like the Vietnam War Memorial, preserve historical sites like George Washington’s home, support various Olympic programs, and much more.

Glenn was instrumental in the Eisenhower Dollar Mintages. Eisenhower Dollars were struck for circulation at the Philadelphia and Denver mints from 1971 to 1978. The highest mintage occurred in 1976, when more than 200 million coins were struck with the Bicentennial reverse design.

At 82, and retired for several years, Glenn

Glenn Williamson spends his days on the golf course, singing or organizing some upcoming event either in Warrenton or Manassas.

But there’s more. On a trip to Scotland with his family, they looked out over the fields of purple hue and it was love at first sight.

Family owned and operated in Catlett, Glenn’s wife Eddie and daughter Debbie run Seven Oaks Lavender Farm where you can pick your own lavender, breathe in its aromatic wonderfulness, brew it in tea, add it to your shortbread cookie recipe or stick a sashay in your linen drawer.

“You need to come in June,” says Glenn.

“That’s the best month when it’s in bloom.”

And, like the Marines, the barbershop groups are always looking for a few, or more, good men.

Council votes to sell Mosby house

MOSBY from page 1

But then, he told a packed and rapt council chamber, “We started examining and realized ‘Wow!’, we could do this. … One of my very first thoughts was, what can we do to make sure it doesn’t get closed off?”

Goolsby said his family won’t let that happen. Instead, they’ve agreed to open the Mosby house to the public twice a year. It’s “the least of what we agreed to do,” Goolsby said.

What’s more, he added: “One of the things that I am absolutely 100 percent clear on is there are going to be people [who] knock on the door, and they’re going to ask, ‘Is this the Mosby Museum?’ And I know my response is going to be, ‘No there is not a Mosby Museum, but come on in and let me show you around.’”

Council rejects 11th hour bid

During its May 8 meeting, the council rejected a last-minute bid from a group hoping to return Mosby’s home back into a museum to instead follow through on plans to sell the property to the Goolsbys. The couple, who live in Warrenton, hope to convert it to a private residence for their three children and dog, Sawyer.

Not only did the council agree the family would be good stewards of the one-time home of the “Gray Ghost” who led “Mosby’s Rangers,” but also that it would reflect badly on the town to abandon a deal negotiated in good faith over a period of months.

Also central to the council’s decision, which was approved in a 6 to 1 vote, was that people would actually live in the home, bringing a young family and new life to Main Street.

Speaking to that, Kirk Goolsby joked that no one need worry about whether the grass would be cut, pointing to his 14-year-old son, Jonah, who was sitting next to his brother Eli, 11, and sister, Annalise,

8. The comment drew laughter from the room.

Many who spoke at the hearing before the vote expressed concern that the 157-year-old home didn’t work out as a museum when it opened in 2013. Therefore, they said, allowing it to reopen as a tourist attraction would not make sense.

So, unless the Goolsbys hit a snag with one of several remaining contract contingencies, the sale will put to rest one of the town’s most contentious issues in recent years.

The sales price will be $170,000 less than the Goolsbys’ original bid, which matched the town’s $595,000 asking price. The reduction was due to several repairs found to be necessary during the inspection.

Councilman Alec Burnett (Ward 2), cast the only dissenting vote.

Burnett said he felt the town was obligated to study any legitimate offer, including that of the Brentmoor group that offered a last-minute $450,000 bid to buy the home to return it to a cultural center.

“Whether you believe or not in the last-minute offer … it was certainly within the legal right … and I feel it is our responsibility to give the same due diligence and awareness that we’ve given to one offer to the other,” Burnett said.

Burnett, along with Councilman Sean Polster (at large) lost a 5-2 vote to table the sale for 30 days.

In preparing the council for the hearing, Town Manager Brannon Godfrey said the Goolsbys had gotten approval for $600,000 in financing, and that selling Brentmoor to them would save the town from current and future repair costs.

In addition, he said the town would have to pay conversion costs to put the property to another use, such as office space. Also, the sale would not only recover most of the town’s initial investment, Godfrey

said, but return the property to a taxable status.

“On the down side,” he said, “the town would lose control of an asset.

It would lose control of potentially some economic benefit from the house as a tourist attraction,” exactly the point the Brentmoor Trust group has been trying to make for the past few years.

In making that argument for his group, Birge Watkins said they proposed to not only a museum but a cultural and historical educational center. “This is not really a house museum. It’s more of a museum in a house,” he said of the group’s vision.

Offer included park

Watkins apologized for the last-minute submission, but said the group thought the public hearing on the sale would be next month.

He said their offer was not only $25,000 higher than the Goolsbys’ but came with no contingencies, even waiving an appraisal or inspection. In addition, the offer would give the town the side yard because, “We support the idea of a town park,” Watkins said.

The group’s offer was to be largely financed by Mosby’s nephew, John Mosby Russell, who told the council he believed the Brentmoor group would succeed.

Councilman Jerry Wood (Ward 1), who last year voted against selling the house and said he sympathized with what the Brentmoor group was trying to accomplish, nonetheless made the motion to sell the home to the Goolsbys, citing the “spirit of fairness, honesty and thought.”

Mayor Powell Duggan could not vote but told the council, “I am torn by this.” Duggan said that while “there could not be better stewards of the property than the Goolsbys,” this is “a decision about what’s best for the Town of Warrenton.”

Duggan also told his colleagues, “People have tried over the years to make this work. I don’t know if this is going to work as a house museum.

I don’t know if that’s possible.”

In the end, the council agreed and sided with the Goolsbys and Jim Lawrence, a neighbor who has known the family for close to a decade and echoed what several people came to say: “If you dreamt up the perfect family to take over the Mosby house, you couldn’t have dreamt up a better family than the Goolsbys.”

FROM PAGE 1 Col. John S. Mosby’s brief return to Warrenton

Unlike other Confederate commanders, Col. John S. Mosby (1833-1916) did not surrender his Partisan Rangers when the war ended on April 4, 1865, at Appomattox. Instead, Mosby simply gathered his men near Marshall on April 21, 1865, and officially disbanded the unit.

Many of the Rangers, including Mosby, sought and were granted paroles shortly afterward.

Returning to Warrenton that spring, Mosby resumed his law practice, living with his wife Pauline (1837-1876) and their family at Road Island, the Jeffries property north of Warrenton just off present-day U.S. 17 near Bethel.

Two years later, Mosby moved to Washington, D.C. to practice law, and it was during this time he became friends with his former enemy, Gen. (and by then President) Ulysses S. Grant. Mosby openly campaigned for Grant during the campaign for his re-election in 1872.

Returning to Warrenton, the Mosbys lived for a time in a house on Horner Street before purchasing Brentmoor on Main Street, built between 1859-61 for Judge Edward M. Spilman. In 1875, Mosby purchased the property from James Keith, who had acquired Brentmoor in the early 1870s. Sale price was $8,000.

It was a large, comfortable house, in easy walking distance to his law office, but Mosby’s time there was filled with sadness. Pauline did not recover after giving birth to their son, Alfred McLaurine, in March 1876, and died May 10 in an upstairs bedroom at Brentmoor.

Baby Alfred died June 30, 1876.

Soon after returning to Warrenton, Mosby’s close relationship with Grant alienated him from many of his former comrades and friends.

In 1877, after disembarking from the train at the Warrenton Depot after returning from a trip to Washington D.C., someone took a potshot at him.

Wishing to leave the heartache and discord behind him, Mosby sold Brentmoor to Gen. Eppa Hunton later that year – again for $8,000 – and returned to Washington, D.C, where President Rutherford B. Hayes appointed him to the U.S. consulship in Hong Kong, a tour that lasted six years.

He later worked as an attorney for the Southern Pacific Railroad, followed by federal service with the Department of the Interior and the Department of Justice.

In his later years, Mosby wrote about his Civil War exploits, but he was clearly critical the causes of the conflict, “… blaming the lack of public education for the South’s long tolerance of slavery.”

Mosby only attended one of the several reunions of his own troops, mostly held in Warrenton, because he felt such gatherings only made the wounds of war harder to heal,” according to “250 Years in Fauquier County, a Virginia Story” (2009).

County plan aims to place armed guards in Fauquier schools

DISCOUNTS AT THIS STORE ONLY:

WARRENTON Warrenton Village Center 141 West Lee Highway

GUARDS from page 1 Of the 12 school security specialists, one would be assigned to each high school to augment the SRO already in place; one would be assigned the alternative school and the remaining nine would be assigned to the nine elementary schools other than Thompson and Walter, which will have SROs, Jeck said.

The school security specialists will initially be employees of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, said Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Sgt. James Hartman.

“Once they are successfully equipped and trained then these positions will be handed over the schools,” Hartman said.

Mosier said his office is working with the school division to identify, interview and hire qualified candidates.

Those hired must have served as a police officer within the past 10 years and must undergo additional training to meet Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services standards for armed school security guards.

Legal obstacle

One legal obstacle of the plan is that Virginia law does not currently allow county governments or sheriff’s departments to employ armed security guards to work in schools.

The law allows law-enforcement agencies to place sworn officers in schools or permits school divisions to hire their own armed guards as long as they meet a long list of state criteria.

But school divisions are not generally equipped to arm or train armed guards, which is why the initial task is falling to the sheriff’s department.

Until the law changes, the guards will have to be remain unarmed if they remain employees of the sheriff’s department, Jeck said.

When and if the law will change is not yet known, but it’s a hurdle with which school divisions across the state are wrestling, Jeck said.

During a discussion about the new positions during the May 14 school board meeting, Don Mason (Lee) said he could not support the new positions until the employment issues are resolved.

But Vice Chairwoman Suzanne Sloane (Scott) noted the board was not voting on whether to add the positions because they will remain employees of the sheriff’s department — at least for now.

School Board member Brian Gorg (Center) said he supports keeping the school security specialists under the purview of the sheriff’s office as the “quickest way” to get the additional guards trained to work in Fauquier schools.

“We have a fifth of our population at any given time that’s in these school buildings and they’re our most vulnerable population,” Gorg said. “I think it’s perfectly reasonable to have these people under the direction of the sheriff at least for the beginning of the training.”

Gainesville / Prince William Times | May 16, 2018

In defense of a free press

A free press was foremost on our founders’ minds at the country’s founding. This is hardly surprising. Pamphlets and newspapers had been instrumental in unifying the colonies in the war for independence. They recognized the Constitution provided the mechanism for the nation to run, but public opinion was the driving force for the nation’s success.

The press was the best form of mass communication in the years leading up to the revolution. Throughout the colonies, newspapers cooperated with each other to spread ideas and information, much the way syndicates and wire services do today.

The founders recognized that when writing the Constitution. The new government was based on the idea of checks and balances, and the ultimate check of that power was the people. The founders knew the free press would serve as the avenue to hold the government accountable. “…the basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to OUR VIEW me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. but I should mean that every man should receive those papers & be capable of reading them,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1787.

Two-plus centuries have changed the nature of the press, but time hasn’t changed its intrinsic role in our republic. Whether online, through social media, on television or through traditional newspapers, the public generally relies on the reporting of others to inform it of what the government is up to.

Today, credibility of sources is of the utmost importance. While there are many advantages to our new, connected world, there are some major red flags to consider: Anonymity: Through web design, it is easy for anonymous writers, lacking access and information, to write with a perception of authority. It is also simple for a site to mimic and established source.

Ease of distribution: Through social media, which has yet to develop reliable safeguards, it is easy to spread false information at an incredible level.

Vulnerability: According to our own intelligence, it has proven to be simple for foreign entities, and perhaps foreign powers, to spread disinformation.

The public has unprecedented access to information, but how that information is vetted and presented is vitally important. Journalists have years of learning and experience to guide them and tools to access information. They ask questions. And they are held accountable to get it right.

Yes, these are all things the general public can do, but there is one major difference. While the people juggle family and work in addition to civic responsibilities, it is a journalist’s primary function. It is what they are paid to do.

As governments explore interpretations of sunshine laws, designed to keep meetings open to the public, it is vitally important to remember the unique qualities of a free press. Facebook livestreams may provide passive access but are no replacement for local journalists who grasp the issues and ask questions.

Whether on the federal, state or local level, journalists serve as a watchdog for the people. They will pursue the truth at all costs to hold elected officials and organizations accountable, legally and fiscally. The public should always view attempts to curb freedom of the press with caution. That’s often a strategy that aims to keep the public in the dark.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In January 1958, the addition was completed on the left side of the office of Department of Highways Resident Engineer Joseph T. Warren on East Shirley Highway. Built by Lewis Sublett, it added five new offices and a conference room. The building is now the Warrenton office of the Virginia State Police.

75 Years Ago May 20, 1943 Three sons of Mrs. W. C. Orndoff of Catlett are all serving overseas. Howard is in the Navy in New Caledonia; Hugh in the Navy in Puerto Rico; and Welton, a sergeant in the Army, in England.

The property on Culpeper Street known as the Marr place has been sold by Capt.

Don Nesbitt, U.S.N., to Richard H. Marriott, Warrenton attorney. The sale was handled through the office of D.H. Lees and Company.

Miss Virginia Anne Pearson of Warrenton has volunteered and been appointed to receive air raid alarms for Warrenton, Mrs. John A. Hinckley, civilian defense coordinator for the county, said Wednesday.

A three-act comedy, “When Sally Comes to Town,” will be presented at the Bristersburg School on May 20, for the benefit of the school. Music will be provided by the Christy Brothers.

50 Years Ago May 23, 1968 One of Fauquier County’s oldest businesses has changed owners. The Northern Virginia Farm Center Inc. at Rectortown was established two years after the Civil War by the grandfather of one of its new owners. Franklin Webster Maddux, grandfather of G. R. “Dick” Thompson of Marshall, was one of the original owners,

along with Charles H. Walker and Bedford Glascock. Major stockholders now are Hubert Phipps of Marshall, Mr. Thompson, and Dr. Charles U. Harris.

Debby Mayo, a sixth-grade student at Highland School, won the new Dorothy V. Rust Perpetual Trophy at the Highland School Pony and Junior Show on Saturday at Waverley Farm on the Springs Road.

Yvette Holmes, 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Holmes of Warrenton, was crowned Miss Fauquier 1968 at the climax of the beauty pageant Saturday night sponsored by the Soroptimist Club of Warrenton.

25 Years Ago May 19, 1993 Robert Roberts, chairman of the Board of Directors of Wakefield School in Marshall, announced May 18 that Archwood Farm in The Plains is to be the school’s new home. Wakefield has signed a letter of intent with Charles Seilheimer, trustee for Archwood Farms, to eventually purchase 50 acres and the 1920s manor house, to be renovated and possibly used for administrative purposes.

From store fronts on opposite sides of Warrenton’s Main Street, the images of Del. Jerry Wood, D-31st, and challenger Republican Jay Katzen conduct a poster battle.

The election will take place on Nov. 2.

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 16, 2018

Reynolds: Accusatory pre-election flyer misreports, distorts facts First, thank you to everyone who voted for me and supported my campaign for re-election. It has been a gratifying four-year term of service, and I’m grateful for all we accomplished through continuing collaboration and much compromise. I’ve enjoyed serving as your vice mayor and council member, and as a local business owner and civic volunteer for GUEST many years, I am proud of my OPINION record of public service and advocacy undertaken on behalf of Warrenton citizens.

It is for this very reason, that I must respond to the letter written

by Yakir Lubowsky, apparently emailed (or otherwise published) to local citizens on or about April 30, with a request that upon agreement with the views expressed, it be passed “along to Sunny Reynolds your mailing list of other folks who live in Warrenton proper.”

It used his previous town council email address, and Mr. Lubowsky and David Norden, both former councilmen, reportedly dropped off hard copies in citizens’ mailboxes. A copy of this letter is available through Fauquier Now and Fauquier Times and is public record as a formal complaint was filed with the State Board of Elections and a hearing is scheduled in Richmond on May 21.

Sadly, rather than simply endorsing certain candidates, it contained an explicit request “urging folks to remove Linda ‘Sunny’ Reynolds from the Warrenton Town Council through this election,” and further denounced me as being the “persistent source of most of council’s dysfunction.” It then purported to present a “candid report” of the specific ways in which I placed my personal interests ahead of those of our citizens, and otherwise “betrayed” my constituents.

Although incivility has become commonplace in national politics, I find it truly sad that in our town this sort of pre-election hostility and underhanded-

ness took the place of healthy public discourse— that open insults and personal animosity replaced spirited debate. I don’t feel that we should reward rudeness or incivility by tolerating it endlessly, or by failing to protest what amounts to bullying.

In the end, Mr. Lubowsky’s letter misreports certain facts, distorts others and, simply put, presents nothing more than an accusatory opinion about how events transpired and the working process among council members. This is not something that I can allow to stand uncorrected for myself and for all women who have felt his enmity.

I will address the more important matters as follows, while dismissing the rest as a personal diatribe.

When elected, I promised to vote my conscience.

I worked hard to inform myself about agenda issues and did my homework in preparation to vote. I sat on three town committees and often went to planning commission meetings as well. I never missed a town council meeting.

While being accused of the “persistent source of most of council’s dysfunction,” I would note that five of my six fellow council members endorsed me for re-election as well as our Center District Fauquier County Supervisor Chris Granger.

Since June of 2014, 237 new businesses have opened in the town, among them Wort Hog Brewing Company, Marshall’s and 360° Fitness.

Old Town has had a plan in place for a year and is getting a reboot through Experience Old Town Warrenton, a Virginia Main Street program led by an impressive and spirited board of which I am a member and committee chair.

We have established a full-time economic development manager position to assist in economic development for the town.

The Walker Drive rezoning passed by a 6-1 vote by council and involved 10 submissions between June 26, 2015, and June 22, 2017. There were well-attended public hearings with the planning commission and at town council. It also included approximately 39 proffers benefitting the town both

economically and from a planning perspective.

The American Legion Assisted Living Facility project passed by a 5-2 council vote and fills a much-needed void in our aging community, going from 120 units to 90 units, with additional submitted proffers that benefit the town. There were two public hearings.

I have no more influence or power than any other council member—though I may have a fervent opinion and more energy for the arduous process of reaching an accord on the issue. This is how things get done.

In 2014, I was unanimously voted vice mayor by my fellow council members, including Mr. Lubowsky, and ran several council meetings for Mr. Duggan.

Through all of this I have successfully kept my photography and travel company businesses on a separate track from town business, carefully avoiding any issue that could be considered a conflict of interest.

I have and will continue to remain passionate about our town, its citizens and the democratic process, which we all embrace and hopefully respect. I am forthright in my opinions, sincere in my beliefs, undisguised in my motivation and honest in my approach to leadership as a town council member. I have never pandered to special interests in any area of life although I have worked hard as a consensus builder to construct a path forward on divisive issues where I felt it would benefit the town.

I will not end by attaching my bio to this letter but will return my focus to my successful travel business and my time to supporting the Boys and Girls Club and Experience Old Town Warrenton — where real community work is done.

I wish the best to our new town council members, and all who work tirelessly, and sometimes at risk to their reputation and character, to serve the public.

Reynolds is vice mayor and a council member for the Town of Warrenton who was not re-elected May 1. Her term ends June 30.

County plans new towers to boost cell, broadband

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

To jump start the effort to improve cellular and internet service in some rural areas, Fauquier County will work with Calvert Crossland LLC to place towers in six locations.

The county will pay up to $30,000 for each tower yearly for as long as five years but possibly less than that if a major wireless company like Sprint or T-Mobile Seven possible sites for six county-subsidized cell towers proposed to boost cell and broadband service in rural areas

“The challenge has been in building towers. If we’re lucky, we get two [applications] a year. As soon as one of the majors comes in, our obligation is gone.”

RICK GERHARDT Cedar Run District Supervisor

takes space on them.

Under the plan, which was authorized unanimously by the county supervisors Thursday, the county will pay $2,500 per month for each tower beginning when each is up and functional. The county will be guaranteed one mounting level for its own transmission needs or it can choose to sublease its space.

Are You Facing a Divorce?

Walker Jones’ award-winning family law attorneys will protect your rights and interests and effectively address the complicated aspects of a divorce including:  Property Division  Child Support  Parenting Time

 Spousal Support

Contact Walker Jones to schedule your appointment with one of our leading family law attorneys.

Calvert Crossland will still need to obtain zoning and permit approvals for the towers. Public hearings will also have to be held. The company must begin tower construction within 15 months of the agreement, or it faces termination.

“There are a number of towers in the works but we don’t have a prime tenant,” Cedar Run District Supervisor Rick Gerhardt told his fellow supervisors at their regular monthly meeting May 10.

Calvert has identified areas for six towers – in Hume, Orlean, on Green Road, at Saddle Ridge, on Zulla Road and another at Botha.

They are all in rural locations where wireless and broadband service is most needed.

“The challenge has been in building towers. If we’re lucky, we get two [applications] a year. As soon as one of the majors comes in, our obligation is gone,” Gerhardt said of the payments the county will be making.

Gerhardt said he doesn’t foresee the financial obligation going beyond two or three years.

When those we have loved have passed, we create a vision of them in our imaginations. Fortified as well as comforted by these images, we remember them and imagine their delight as we look into the eyes of their grandchildren and partake of the daily joys that they once found to be so pleasurable. Every time we light a candle, cook a favorite meal, visit a treasured destination, and meet with family, we have an opportunity to conjure up the image of a loved one who has passed and think of the many ways that he or she added to our appreciation of life. The dead provide the foundation upon which we live.

A funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with family and friends. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. To learn more about our services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431.

Farmstays becoming a mainstay in rural Virginia

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

What better way to learn about life on the farm than to stay on one?

The state of Virginia now offers a program that very much resembles a popular British version, “Stay on a Farm,” for travelers seeking to experience rural living while learning more about farming.

For the English experience, we once took our children in to the Beech Tree House Farm in Slingsby, York, in the 1990s. Part of this excursion was also to include Daddy Bear’s work. He annually covered the British Open golf tournament for The Washington Post at such glorious links as: Muirfield, Royal St. Georges, St. Andrews and Carnoustie, among others.

The other part of the agreement was to accommodate Mama Bear’s wishes to visit Castle Howard and take the kiddies to Flamingo Land.

The highlight on the British farm was feeding the pigs. Our 5-year-old tried to warn his big sister, “Be careful Emily, don’t slip in the pig poop.”

Need I tell you? She slithered right into it for the memory of a lifetime.

The farm’s owner/hostess Carol Farnell’s homemade strawberry shortbread with cream was another memory. This particular farm also was a favorite getaway for British writer Andrew Morton, best known for his biographies of royal figures such as Diana, Princess of Wales, and celebrity subjects including Tom Cruise, Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Monica Lewinsky.

And now, flash forward to the commonwealth of Virginia, which now maintains a list of farm families who offer lodging or bed-and-breakfast accommodations.

In nearby Rappahannock County, Susan and Walt Longyear have been hosting guests for 28 years at their Fairlea Farm B&B near the historic village of Little Washington.

Burnside Farms lost half of the 1 million tulip bulbs planted this year, but mother and son Leslie and Micheal Dawley look forward to the summer of sunflowers.

Tough year for tulips, but the sunflowers will come out tomorrow at Burnside Farms

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Leslie Dawley and her son, Michael Dawley, started in the farm-to-vase-cut flower business as owners of Burnside Farms only seven years ago.

This spring, they planted 1 million specially blended Dutch tulip bulbs at their new location in Nokesville.

There was great anticipation from those familiar with their business as they unveiled their new location online: 11008 Kettle Run Road.

“There are only six places in the world where you can pick your own,” Leslie Dawley, 64, said earlier this season. “This is unique.”

But all did not go as planned. Sadly, they lost half of the million bulbs planted.

“We’re out on a limb, it will take years to recover,” Leslie Dawley said, attributing the loss to several factors. “We got to the new land too late, and we didn’t know the land. The tulips didn’t have a chance to grow good roots.

“We’re clearly having a climate change,” she added. “First there was so much rain and then it was 90 degrees, the petals fell off. It’s a total loss.”

Michael Dawley, 40, spent two months last fall putting the tulip bulbs in the ground with a me-

chanical planter on 8 acres of their new 50-acre location in Nokesville. The tulips were to be priced at $1 per stem. With half the crop ruined, it doesn’t take much to figure out their financial loss.

As Mother’s Day weekend approached last week, they didn’t anticipate having any tulips to pick. However, they had pre-picked tulip bunches for sale as well as gladiolus and liatris and some early Dutch iris.

The farm is now closed for a few weeks, until

the Dutch iris crop is expected to begin blooming later in May. However, the fluctuating temperatures have brought the spring season to a sudden close for their 2018 Festival of Spring.

Although she said she’s been devastated by the current situation, Leslie, ever the optimist, already is looking forward.

“I feel good about this location,” she said, adding that she understands the new land much better and “my wheels are already turning for next year.”

She also promised a spectacular show and hopes to complete an agreement to purchase part of the land she now rents.

Meanwhile, the sun will definitely come out tomorrow because the Summer of Sunflowers is right around the corner. “We’ll have 30 varieties to cut,” she said, “including the mammoth ones, a play area for children and two sunflower mazes.”

6 Ways to Pay for Summer Camp

By Kim Miller Ballerene Courtesy ActiveK ids.com

Break out the towels, bathing suits and beach bags. It may not feel like it, but summer vacation is right around the corner. With those warmer temperatures come kids with one scary thing on their hands: free time.

If you’re already on the hunt for activities to keep your kids busy, then you’re probably also considering summer camp. Camps are a great option because they expose children to experiences they would not get at home while simultaneously teaching skills like self-care, teamwork and conflict resolution.

The challenge, however, is selecting a camp that fits both the child and that pesky household budget. But with a bit of early research and some savvy saving ideas, you can find a great camp option for your child that won’t break the bank.

1. Consider a day camp

Overnight camps are expensive and might not be the right fit for your child. Kids can get a similar sense of independence from a day camp just as well as a sleep away camp, and you’ll save quite a bit of money, too.

2. Look for early registration discounts

Many camps offer discounts for confirming your camper’s spot early. Read the information closely and act fast for some great savings.

3. Ask about sibling discounts

Send a second or third camper to the same camp, and you could get a nice discount. Simply ask when registering as savings can range from 5 to 20 percent, and that can be a lot more palatable to your pocketbook.

4. Apply for summer camp scholarships

Even if the website doesn’t say the camp offers scholarships, ask. It’s possible that they do and will direct you to an application. Just be sure to apply by the deadline.

5. Offer to volunteer

Many camps need additional adult assistance.

Offer to teach a craft one day a week or rewrite the camp’s website in exchange for your child at-

tending the camp. This kind of win-win bartering is a great way to save.

6. Ask about payment plans

Camp organizers understand the financial challenges of sending kids to summer camp and frequently offer payment plans to make the process easier. Your camper will have to be paid in full before the start of the camp however, so contact the camp earlier rather than later.

Sports leagues

Tweens. They’re at the age when they’re too old for day care and not old enough for a summer job. What will they do all day? Here are five activities to keep them busy so you can keep your peace of mind.

Unlike week-long sports camps, a sports league gives tweens a place to go regularly throughout the summer.

In addition to giving them something to do, sports leagues keep kids engaged socially and help them learn to interact with adults and kids alike outside of the classroom setting. They also learn leadership, team-building, and project-management skills, as well as how to stick to a schedule.

Make a List

As soon as school lets out, have your kids make their own list of 50 things they want to accomplish this summer.

Having them think of their own activities keeps their brains active and also sets them up for reaching goals as they grow older. Making the list itself will keep them busy for a while, and they’ll have a set of activities to check off throughout the summer.

Volunteer

In addition to helping the community, volunteering helps kids connect with others, improve social skills and gives them a place to go while you’re at work. Or, if you have the time, there are organizations where you can vol-

Fauquier County Schools announce ‘Rookie Teachers of the Year’ Katelyn Rockefeller, music teacher at Grace Miller Elementary School, and Annie Glascock, civics teacher at Warrenton Middle School, have been selected as Fauquier County Public Schools’ Rookie Teachers of the Year, according to a school division press release.

These awards were presented to one elementary and one secondary teacher to recognize the outstanding efforts of teachers just entering the profession.

Both winners received a $500 check funded through a grant from Apple Federal Credit Union Educational Foundation, the press release said.

Elementary Rookie Teacher of the Year

A native of Fauquier County, Katelyn Rockefeller attended M.M. Pierce Elementary School, Taylor Middle School, and graduated from Liberty High School in 2012. She earned a bachelor’s degree in music in 2016 and a master’s degree in education, curriculum and instruction from Virginia Tech in 2017.

Rockefeller always loved working with children, but it was the key adults in her life who influenced her to become a teacher. Her parents, Brian and Jennifer Rockefeller, have worked as occupational therapists for Fauquier County Public Schools for many

Annie Glascock, pictured with Fauquier Superintendent David Jeck, is a civics teacher at Warrenton Middle School.

years. She also credits several special teachers for impacting her career choice, including Rich Griffith and Pat Neidich, her middle and high school band directors, the press release said.

“I love working with all the children. Each student has a different personality, and I enjoy trying to connect with each student to figure out what each student needs to succeed,” Rockefeller said in the press release.

“I enjoy the moment that a concept you are teaching finally clicks, or a student finally understands why we do something. For example, I recently had a student tell me that they understand why we do vocal warm-ups be-

fore singing and that we need to make sure we do them before EVERY time we sing! That made me smile.”

In her free time, Rockefeller likes to cook, bake, craft, and spend time with her family. She also enjoys playing the clarinet.

Secondary Rookie Teacher of the Year

Annie Glascock’s path to becoming a teacher also went through Fauquier County. The Marshall native graduated from Fauquier High School in 2012 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in history in 2016 and a master’s degree in education in 2017 from

Christopher Newport University.

“I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I owe a lot of it to the amazing teachers I had throughout my life, many of whom are still in the county – Cheryl Ward, Kara Fewell, and my own dad!” Glascock said in the press release. “The relationships I had, and continue to have, with teachers in this county shows me that teachers can have a lasting impact on your life. That is exactly the type of educator I plan to be!”

Her father, Robert Glascock, has been a teacher in Fauquier for 35 years and is currently teaching at Fauquier High School.

Glascock’s favorite things about teaching are the unexpected moments and rich discussions with her students, the press release said.

“I teach civics, so there are often these unexpected life lessons that get brought into classroom conversations. We have had life talks about mental health, life choices, college and those are some of the best lessons I had with my students,” she said in the press release. “They are moments that I did not plan for, but they have been some of my favorite memories throughout this year.”

Glascock enjoys spending time with family and close friends. Her favorite travel destination is the Outer Banks.

Kettle Run’s DeCroo may be the finest gymnast in Fauquier County history

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Each year, Isabella DeCroo’s parents ask if she truly wants to continue doing gymnastics.

She replies affirmatively every time.

So now, after 12 years of dedication to the demanding sport, the Kettle Run sophomore is reaching rare heights. She competed last weekend in the USA Gymnastics Level 10 Women’s Junior Olympic National Championships in Cincinnati as one of only 57 girls across the country in her age group.

DeCroo qualified for nationals with a top-eight all-around performance at the Region 7 competition after advancing from the Virginia State meet. That made her the lone member of her Chantilly Academy Gymnastics team to compete at nationals.

“That is a big deal,” DeCroo’s mother, Amy, said. “It’s huge because every college in the county is there watching the girls and evaluating.”

At the May 12-13 event, DeCroo placed 44th all-around in her Junior F Division. She performed best in the uneven bars by finishing 22nd, and she took 43rd in the balance beam.

“My strongest is balance beam and bars,” DeCroo said. “I just focus a lot on those events. It’s all the repetitions.”

She also tied for 49th in the vault at nationals and placed 52nd with her floor routine.

“Overall I had a really good meet,”

Kettle Run sophomore Isabella DeCroo has reached one of the highest levels in a demanding sport. Last week she competed in the USA Gymnastics Level 10 Women’s Junior Olympic National Championships in Cincinnati. the 15-year-old said. “It means a lot [to participate]. I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve had.

“It was an amazing experience,” she said. “It was good to be back.”

DeCroo competed at nationals last spring, but only as an alternate.

With that status she had to join the Region 2 all-star team at nationals rather than compete with her Region 7 squad.

“So this year it was so much better,” she said. “Last year I was a little bit more nervous with the college coaches there, but I learned to be calm and just focus on what I needed to do.”

DeCroo began her gymnastics career at age 4 with a pedigree in the sport. Her mother competed at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

“She just fell in love with it,” Amy DeCroo said of her daughter.

But “every year we ask her if she still wants to do it because we don’t want [her to feel] any pressure from me” or her father, Jason.

Isabella DeCroo typically practices six days a week, adding up to about 23 hours per week. Plus, she often travels to compete.

Virginia Beach hosts many meets early in the season and later events are held around the country. Last season, her destinations included

Las Vegas, Indianapolis and Texas, while this spring she went to San Diego, Cincinnati and Florida.

“She’s really driven,” Amy DeCroo said. “She’s sacrificed a lot to do this sport.

“That takes a pretty special person to give up a lot of time with your friends and school activities,” the mother said. “She can’t do any other sport because of the time commitment.”

DeCroo entered eighth grade with interest in track and field, but she didn’t pursue that sport. So while her junior brother, Caden, plays baseball and basketball at Kettle Run, she sticks to gymnastics.

“The goal is to go to a D-I school” for college, Isabella DeCroo said.

“Having that goal makes me want to keep going every day.”

She hopes to draw the attention of more college coaches over the next few months.

With an all-around score of 36.7 at nationals, she qualified for the Camp Woodward Gymnastics high performance camp in Pennsylvania during September by meeting the 36.0 standard. DeCroo also has two other showcase camps on her schedule.

“This summer’s just going to be big,” she said.

Highland won the Delaney Athletic Conference tournament championship for the third consecutive season by shutting out Trinity Christian, 9-0, Friday at home in Warrenton.

Highland (20-3) also reached the 20-win mark for the third consecutive season and went 6-0 in the conference. Pitcher Blake Fisher pitched a two-hitter with nine strikeouts, going all seven innings with one walk.

“That’s the best I’ve seen Blake on the mound and our defense backed him up,” said Highland coach Micah Higgins, whose team is seeded No. 2 seed in the state tournament. “We are playing our best baseball at the right time.”

The Hawks were scheduled to open the VISAA Division II tournament Tuesday against Norfolk Collegiate. The semifinals are Thursday and championship Friday, both at Colonial Heights, near Petersburg.

Against Trinity, ranked No. 2 in the DAC tournament, the top-seeded Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first.

Dylan Fisher finished with three RBIs and a run on 2-for-4 hitting, while Eddie Gimbel went 1-for-3 with two RBIs and a run.

Adam Dressler added two runs on 1-for-1 hitting, while Joe DeBardi went 1-for-2 with two add.

Ka-boom, there goes another Waln homer Liberty catcher homers five times last week to set school season mark with 11

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Sorry, coach. I couldn’t help it.

Besides, you told me to run.

Liberty High catcher Lizzie Waln hit five home runs last week, allowing her to reach 11 for the season and set a new school mark.

She topped the previous record of nine by coach Ryan Washington, who did it as a senior in 2004.

Waln began the week with a three homer outburst in a 9-0 win against Osbourn Park on May 7.

She set the record with an insidethe-park shot Friday for a two-homer game in a 31-2 romp against Handley.

“I scored standing up,” Waln said about the hit.

Apparently, Washington, coaching third, joked to her after the game that she sent Waln home, “because I was trying to get you thrown out.”

Waln’s 11th was a mammoth shot that cleared the very deep fence at Handley’s stadium, estimated at 230 feet.

“Their coach came up to her after the game and said, ‘I’ve been coaching here a long time and you are the first player to ever clear that fence,’’’ said Lance Waln, Lizzie’s father.

Her dad was happy Lizzie hit another one that game because he thinks homers should be celebrated with a slow trot. “I don’t like inside the parks,” he said.

He said his daughter stands 5-foot-7, 140 pounds, but “has so much power that people don’t real-

ize. She really knows how to use her lower half on her swing.”

The James Madison University recruit is hitting .541 with 11 doubles, one triple and 11 home runs.

Her slugging percentage is 1.295.

Despite her imposing numbers, she has only been walked twice, never intentionally this year. She has a 1.000 field percentage as a catcher.

Former Liberty coach Charlie Padgett coached her as a freshman in 2015 and had known her since she was a young girl. Now living in West Virginia, Padgett is in town to watch Waln play on Senior Night, scheduled for Tuesday.

“She has done everything right for so long. It’s good to see her success,” said Padgett.

Lizzie Waln became Liberty’s single season home run leader with her 11th last week, topping the mark of coach Ryan Washington.

At 13-4, Liberty is in the mix to earn the No. 2 seed for the Northwestern District tournament, scheduled to run May 18, 22 and 24.

Falcon best friends pick Penn State Mount Alto

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Penn State Mont Alto’s baseball team made a double play for Fauquier High athletes.

The Nittany Lions offered roster spots to seniors Cameron Lee and Troy Smith, who then both recently accepted with a ceremony May 11 in Fauquier’s Hall of Fame gym lobby.

“It’s pretty cool,” Smith said.

“We’ve played together and been best friends since we were little.”

They met around age 2 and often played on the same baseball teams growing up, but joining a college team together wasn’t their top priority. Nonetheless, Mont Alto appealed to them both, and attending the Pennsylvania school together didn’t hurt.

“We just really fit in and blended well there,” Smith said.

Mont Alto is part of Penn State’s “Commonwealth campus system” and serves as a two-year school that then funnels students to the main campus in Happy Valley for the

completions of their degrees. Mont Alto’s sports teams play in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association, which has a level of play similar to the NCAA Division III. So Smith and Lee both feel excited about playing college baseball.

“It’s pretty special,” Smith said.

“I’ve always dreamed about it.

“I just am so happy after having my [high school senior] season cut off short,” said Lee, who had knee surgery Friday after tearing his ACL on April 11. “To have another couple years of a sport I love, and with somebody I’ve known for so long, is nice.”

Smith expects to play first base, while Lee plans to pitch and perhaps play outfield. Academically, Lee plans to study professional golf management and Smith wants to study physical therapy. That field appeals to Smith after he suffered an injury during seventh grade that required rehab after having two anchors placed in his shoulder.

Golf management, meanwhile,

From negotiation to trial, legal counsel you can trust.

William D. Ashwell

helped attract Lee. “I think only 10 schools in the country offer it,” he said. “And then to play baseball, that combination seemed like you couldn’t beat it.”

Both Fauquier players visited the Mont Alto campus and participated in a baseball tryout. Smith also considered playing or Bridgewater College and Virginia Wesleyan University, but chose the Nittany Lions instead.

“I felt like I could play the most there, and I really liked the coaches,”

he said. “It just felt like home.”

Lee also considered Bridgewater with James Madison University as an option if he chose not to play baseball. Yet the combination of playing baseball at Mont Alto before switching to Penn State as only a student appealed more.

“You get the best of both worlds,” he said. “You start with a small school and then go to a big one. I thought that was a pretty unique opportunity.”

The Kettle Run Cougars took just 16 seconds in the second half to do what they couldn’t do the entire first: score a goal.

Cougar sophomore Taylor Creeden received the ball directly up the middle of the field to start the second half and worked her way in before sliding a shot past Sherando goalkeeper Kara Hendren for the goahead-goal that propelled Kettle Run to a 2-0 win Friday in Winchester.

“We had a really good play that we really connected on right in the beginning after getting amped up at halftime,” Creeden said. “We knew we had to connect more to get around their players because they were man-marking us.”

The hard-fought win helped the Cougars (12-1) clinch the No. 1 seed for the Class 4 Northwestern District tournament and guarantee an automatic Region 4C tournament berth.

Sherando (12-6) entered on a sixgame win streak that saw the Warriors outscore foes 25-1.

“I think they play extremely hard and they play a little different style than the teams we normally play,” said Kettle Run coach Matt Zuras. “They chase hard and their work rate is hard.

It took time to get used to it. I think as the game wore on our subbing helped.

We started getting loose.”

Dynamic Warrior freshman Kendall Lincoln shined early.

Lincoln tested Kettle Run goalkeeper Carylyn Schneider (5 saves) early, forcing her to make several diving saves. Schneider and the Cougars’ defense responded with their third straight shutout.

“Their girl No. 9 [Lincoln] is pretty special, it takes a whole team to stop her,” Zuras said. “I thought that was a pretty amazing effort by the defense to keep her out of the net.”

After Creeden’s goal to open the second half, the Kettle Run offense

put together chances in the 48th minute, when Payton Fiel cracked a shot off the crossbar, and the 60th minute, when Sarah Mitchell hit the post.

The Cougars got an insurance goal courtesy of Alyssa Damato and Maddie Green.

A quick restart after a penalty got the ball to Damato, who sent in a perfect cross to sophomore Green, who settled the ball and buried the shot for a 2-0 cushion.

Kettle Run leading scorer Sarah Mitchell did not get on the scoresheet Friday night, but her presence was vital. Mitchell’s leadership helped the Cougars through a tough battle, and she also created several dangerous chances.

Along with knocking the post early in the second half, Mitchell also drew a foul when she was intentionally grabbed to stop a would-be breakaway opportunity, and came close on another one-on-one with the keeper.

“I thought the first half was a little rough but after we talked each other up in the second half it was much easier to get synchronized,” Mitchell said.

“Sarah [Mitchell] has done a great job up there being the target,” Zura said.

“Of course she gets marked every game and it is always a battle. The beauty of this team is that you don’t know where the goals are coming from. It makes it tough for an opponent. The things that we were able to do to [Lincoln] they aren’t able to do to us.”

Kettle Run hosted rival Liberty on Senior Night on Tuesday. Next is the conference tournament.

“I don’t want to jinx anything but I have really high hopes moving forward after our second half performance tonight,” Mitchell said.

Sherando hopes to earn the chance to take on Kettle Run again.

“If we see them again we will be where we want to be because we will both be in regions at that time.

The goal is to see them again,” said Sherando coach Rob Kilmer.

From dairy to dressage

Catlett’s Homestead Farm converts to equestrian business model

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

You don’t expect to upper level dressage warmbloods grazing alongside western pleasure quarter horses, with a spotted saddle horse in the next paddock, but at a horse farm celebrating 10 years in Catlett, an array of disciplines co-exist peacefully to take advantage of what clients call “a terrific facility.”

The Bender family had run a dairy operation on the property since the 1950s, but 15 years ago, son Mahlon Bender was seeing changes in the milk industry beginning to shoulder out the smaller family farms in favor of mega-monoculture commercial ventures in the Midwest.

To retain the open, working farmland his family had long nurtured, Bender said, the old homestead – and the business model – needed to change with the times.

Bender recognized a boarding operation, using a well-outfitted, family-friendly farm in south central Fauquier would serve a wide variety of disciplines.

Four original grain silos stand silent sentinel over the sprawling complex, but they’re empty, and everything that once catered to cattle now serves horses, Bender explained.

The old dairy barn is lined with horse stalls, the central feed trough running the length of the scored-concrete center aisle now a storage bay.

The milking parlor houses more stalls, and an attached workroom has been dolled up as a comfortable, climate-controlled lounge overlooking one of three riding arenas.

“We’ve got a huge party planned this summer. It’ll be one to remember.”

Owner along with his brother Willie, Mahlon Bender is hands-on manager of what’s become, as longtime boarder Tracy Brown puts it, “one big, happy horse family.

“Everybody looks out for everybody. All the disciplines get along. This is a terrific facility, and I love it here.”

When Brown says Homestead is home to “varied disciplines,” she’s not exaggerating.

Alongside FEI dressage horses are western pleasure, western dressage and western trail horses. There are a few

gaited horses, even a Gypsy Vanner.

The farm comprises 260 acres, with 35 stalls and dozens of paddocks and pastures. There are two lighted outdoor rings, a lighted indoor and a trail system that loops the hayfields and goes around a large, stocked pond. Two dressage instructors teach regularly at Homestead, and two FEI level teachers come several times a month. Boarders can bring in outside coaches, and ship-in clients can train with the resident instructors.

The farm often hosts clinics, and they have two dressage shows planned this year – June 3 and Oct. 21.

An anniversary party is June 30.

BRIEFS BOYS LACROSSE Eagles set school mark

The Liberty Eagles set a program record for wins in a season by beating James Monroe’s boys lacrosse team, 12-6, at home in Bealeton.

Liberty is 6-6 after entering this spring with no more than five wins in any season. The Eagles finished 2017 with a 5-9 record after going 5-10 in 2012.

They haven’t had a winning season since at least 2004 – if ever – but that drought could end this spring with at least two games remaining for Liberty, which had a 32-144 record between 2005 and 2017.

Dalton Billick and Brandon Mullins led the Eagles with four goal apiece, while Jordan Dickerson had three and Trey Keys had one. Midfielder Jake Waldo won about 70 percent of the faceoffs and goalie Ryan Lasher saved about 70 percent of the shots he faced, Liberty coach Michael Gesiotto said.

“Helped considerably,” the coach said. “Defense played well anchored by senior Jacob Shipe. Transition [and] clearing was not great, but better.”

COLLEGE SOFTBALL Munda, Brown earn honors

University reach the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regionals.

Despite Munda’s pitching and hitting heroics in a 4-1 win over Chowan, the Rams lost two 1-0 games to Lock Haven to see their season end last week.

Munda fired a two-hitter with seven strikeouts in a 4-1 win over Chowan to keep Shepherd alive. She also

went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored. Brown was 1-for-4 in the game.

But Lock Haven posted another 1-0 win to end the Rams’ season at 34-20.

Brown, a freshman second baseman, and senior pitcher Munda were all-Mountain East Conference second team players.

Former Kettle Run softball star Kaitlin Munda finished her Shepherd University career in style by winning her final college game in the NCAA Division II softball regionals.

‘Colin: Son, Marine, Hero’ A new version of the ballet Amy Wolfe wrote to honor her Marine son’s sacrifice takes the stage this weekend

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Before Lance Cpl. Colin Wolfe shipped off to Iraq in 2006, then a 19-year-old who’d just finished Marine Corps boot camp, he was a Manassas kid, a recent graduate of Osbourn High School and, for most of his life, a dancer.

Colin Wolfe’s mother, Amy Wolfe, is director of the Manassas Ballet Theatre. Colin grew up dancing, she has said, mostly because she did. And although ballet would not become his life’s passion, Colin was disciplined and diligent in the studio, staying with ballet until he graduated from Osbourn in 2005.

After that, Colin Wolfe turned his focus to the U.S. Marine Corps. He had decided to enlist nearly four years earlier, on Sept. 11, 2001, when he was just 14.

It was a decision, his mother says, made in response to the terrorist attacks as well as a family vacation to Normandy. That’s where Colin saw the white Stars of David marking the graves of U.S. service members who died fighting there and was moved by their sacrifice.

Tragically, his military service was cut short. Just seven weeks after deploying to Iraq, Lance Cpl. Colin

Wolfe was killed by a roadside bomb. His family buried him in Arlington Cemetery on Sept. 11, 2006.

Seven years later, Amy Wolfe decided to commemorate her son’s life and sacrifice in the best way she knew how: through dance.

The Manassas Ballet performed the original version of “Colin: Son, Marine, Hero,” in 2013. In its inaugural version, the ballet was just one act. Since then, Amy Wolfe has expanded it to a full ballet, which was performed both in Manassas and in California in 2014.

This week, the Manassas Ballet Theatre will perform the latest iteration of the ballet, which Amy Wolfe has further expanded to include scenes depicting Colin as a 14-year-old boy, the age he was when the 9/11 terrorist attacks spurred his interest in military service.

Previous versions of the ballet depicted Colin as a 10-year-old boy and then as a 19-year-old leaving for active duty. Amy Wolfe said she revised the choreography to add a pivotal time in her son’s life – when he set his mind to joining the Marines.

Students say ‘thank you’ to veterans

By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

As part of their education, fifthgraders at St. James’ Episcopal School in Warrenton take on service projects. These projects not only reflect the school’s mission, but the virtues promoted throughout the school year. Students learn early that they can make a difference in the lives of others.

Mac Lawson and several of his classmates decided to raise awareness about Honor Flight and the extraordinary service this organization provides to the country’s veterans.

“We have a wonderful opportunity…living near Washington, D.C., to thank our nation’s veterans,” said Lawson noting that Honor Flight flies veterans from around the country to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials that honor their service and sacrifices. This is done at no charge to the veterans.

“I wish more people knew how easy and rewarding it is to come greet these heroes,” said Lawson.

As part of their research, the students discovered that websites like www.heroeswelcomeiad.com and www.honorflightdca.com list numerous dates and times when veteran groups will be arriving at Dulles, Reagan, BWI and the memorials.

You can greet veterans as they arrive at the region’s airports or when they are visiting the memorials.

The students at St. James’ wrote messages of thanks, tied them to

Not pictured: Bennett Hernandez American flags and set out for Dulles International Airport on Thursday, April 26, to welcome an arriving group of 99 veterans from the Iowa area who arrived with a group affiliated with Honor Flight of the Quad Cities.

“It was great seeing the veterans enjoy the messages written by the school and shaking hands with

the children,” said Lauren Lawson, Mac’s mother.

“The connection between our school virtues, personal interests and our role as contributing members of our local and global community is one of the most valuable lessons we hope our students gain from their time spent at Saint James’ Episcopal School,” said Meredith

Summers, director of communications and marketing.

“Many veterans are getting older, and we don’t have much time left to say thank you and for them to see the memorials,” said Mac Lawson. “It is touching seeing how happy the veterans are.”

‘Colin: Son, Marine, Hero’: A new version of the ballet Amy Wolfe wrote to honor her Marine son’s sacrifice takes the stage this weekend BALLET, from Page 26 “That way, the audience would see Colin was still just a boy when he decided to be a Marine and made that dangerous decision about his life,” Amy Wolfe said recently. “I felt it would read so much better that way than to have the audience see him only as a full-grown male dancer.”

The ballet remains set to the original score that Amy Wolfe’s friend, Mark Menza, wrote for the initial show. Wolfe said she shortened transitions to fit in extra scenes of Colin, his younger sister CeCe and their friends as teens.

The ballet depicts scenes from Amy Wolfe’s life from the time she met her husband, Mark Wolfe, who serves as a Manassas City Councilman, through the various stages of Colin and CeCe’s childhood.

The story begins at the end, however, when two uniformed Marines knock on the door of the Wolfes’ Manassas home in the middle of the night back in August 2006 to tell them of their son’s death.

Amy Wolfe said she believes the additional scenes depicting Colin’s teen years will allow the audience a fuller picture of their family’s life as well as Colin’s. The changes also amount to a different experience for those who might have seen earlier versions.

“That’s the message I’ve been trying to get out there. That even if people saw [the previous ballet], they haven’t seen what exists now,” she said.

What has not changed is Amy Wolfe’s mis-

sion for the ballet. As she told a writer last year, the ballet was not created for her family or even for Colin. After his death, Amy Wolfe said she met some of the young men her son served with and felt their pain—pain stemming both from the horrors of war as well as the guilt they felt for surviving what some of their friends did not.

“Colin became a Marine because he was passionate about making the world a better place,” Amy Wolfe told writer Caitlin Scott. “I created the ballet because I wanted those boys to know they should take his loss as a reason to make the most of their time in the world and to carry on his mission.”

“I want them to understand that they were saved for a reason,” she added. “The reason is to move on.”

Events planned to support Orlean fire department

ANNE DAVIS

We hope you have been enjoying these lovely spring days. It’s great to watch the trees turn green and to enjoy the young flowers. My father always enjoyed watching the green “creep up Afton Mountain” when the trees leafed out.

Two important upcoming events will help to support our local volunteer fire and rescue station.

The annual OVFRD yard sale, which enables us to unload many gently used and no longer needed household items, will be held on Saturday, June 9, at Providence Baptist Church, Orlean, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please note the change in location. We appreciate so much that the folks at Providence Church have made it possible for OVFRD to have the sale since our parking area is presently being used by the construction crews. Contact Mary Tarr

MARKHAM HUME ORLEAN 540-364-1828 hlfmhouse@aol.com at 540-364-1410 for information and fees.

An art show featuring six local artists will be held on Sunday, June 24, from 4 – 6 p.m. at the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue building to benefit the new building fund. Photographs and paintings will be available for purchase with the artists donating 50 percent or more to the building fund. Light refreshments will be served. We hope that you will join us for this fun event and take home a lovely piece of art work.

Thumbs up to VDOT for spread-

ing the oil coating on Tapps Ford Road to reduce the dust and for cleaning up some of the trash that has been dumped here. Thumbs down to the folks who tossed a canoe plus old pipes, monitors, roof tar cans and other trash on our road. We know these items cost money when taken to the landfill, but we don’t want or need them here.

Birthday greetings to Courtney Nashwinter, Robert Shoemaker, Jay Branscombe, Jim Stribling, Elena McIntosh and Ann Garrett. Hope everyone has a wonderful day with someone special.

The Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department will have its monthly breakfast buffet on Sunday, May 20, from 8 – 11 a.m. Please join us for blueberry pancakes, fresh fruit, bacon, eggs and other good things. Bring family and friends who can enjoy a bountiful meal plus visit with neighbors. We will also have the Goodies-To-Go table, which supports the new building fund with

some new items to appeal to your sweet tooth.

We note the passing of Tom Stanberry, our neighbor in Orlean, who died last week following a very long period of declining health. Tom, a native of Tennessee, taught industrial arts in Fairfax County and was interested in many charitable mission projects. No services are planned at this time. Please keep his wife, Sharon, and the rest of his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Keep this thought in mind: Your body may be old, but your mind doesn’t know it yet!

Some may not look forward to a 40th year birthday observation, but Old Town will be celebrating its 40th Annual Spring Festival, rain or shine!

This family event will be Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and it is free for all who attend. Dancers and bands will entertain, and delicious food and handcrafted items will be on hand. Attendees may shop for such items as jewelry, handmade toys, photography, fine art and pottery.

We are entering the yard sale season, but if you are among those who dread the process of spending your Saturday morning bartering with both friends and strangers, there is a great solution. Greendrop is a charitable donation organization which will pick up all of your items right at your front door. Your tax-deductible items are then converted into funds

by Greendrop for several worthwhile organizations and you don’t have to do a thing. Greendrop accepts gently used clothing, household items, small appliances, books, electronics, sporting goods, small furniture and toys.

For a better look at this organization and all of the items it accepts, go to gogreendrop.com.

Another great performance will take place at Drum and Strum, 102 Main St., on May 24. Danny Knicely and Jack Dunlap are both master mandolinists. Their duo album won the Best Bluegrass Album of the Year at the Washington Area Music Awards in 2016. Tickets are $20 with proceeds going to the Gloria Faye Dingus Music Alliance. Seating is limited so advance purchase is recommended. Children 12 and under are admitted free. Contact: 540-4289132.

This week in literature

Calendar: May 16 – 22, 2018 Wednesday, May 16

“With my writing, I can still play inside an enchanted castle or live inside an old fort. I can run from ghosts of ride dolphins any day of the week.” ― Mary Pope Osborne

Mary Pope Osborne was born May 20, 1949, in Fort Still, Oklahoma. Her career as an author has spanned 30 years, and includes picture books, biographies, mysteries, novels and retelling of Greek and Norse mythology and American tall tales. She is best known, however for “The Magic Tree House” series, which follows brother and sister duo Jack and Annie as they are transported through history. The series has sold more than 130 million books worldwide since it debuted in 1992 and has appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers lists many times.

The series has moved from the printed page to the stage: “Magic Tree House: The Musical” premiered in September 2007 and Lionsgate acquired the movie right to the series with plans to bring Jack and Annie to the big screen.

Osborne grew up in a military family that travelled extensively and moved regularly. She continued to travel after graduating from college, and her travels are reflected in her writing. Osborne commented “Experience was gathered that serves as a reference point every day of my life. I encoun-

tered worlds of light and worlds of darkness--and planted seeds of the imagination that led directly to my being an author of children’s books.”

In 2012, with the 20th anniversary of “The Magic Tree House” series, Osborne created the Magic Tree House Classroom Adventures Program to inspire children to read and to love reading. In partnership with the First Book organization in Washington, DC. Magic Tree House Classroom Adventures has donated hundreds of thousands of books to underserved schools.

Osborne’s books have been named to a number of Best Books lists, including Parent’s Magazine and School Library Journal and have received accolades from the National Council of Teachers of English, The Children’s Book Council and others. Fauquier County Public Library has a wide selection of “The Magic Tree House” books, in various formats, as well as other works by Mary Pope Osborne.
