Time is up for Cheswick Motel

Facing Friday deadline, residents search for somewhere to go By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

About a dozen people still living in the Cheswick Motel, deemed “unfit for human habitation” last month, must vacate by the end of this week, according to the lawyer representing the owner. Scott Hook, a Warrenton attorney, said the Cheswick Motel’s owners do not intend to undertake the numerous repairs mandated by town officials, mak-

ing Friday, June 22, the motel’s “drop dead date” for getting the tenants out. The motel, at 394 Broadview Ave., was ordered by the town May 30 to fix multiple safety violations or shut down. Hook said the motel will stop accepting money from tenants because, “We have to have them out.” “Our intention at this point is to secure and seal the building,” Hook said.

The Warrenton police officer struck by a bullet during training last week is home and doing fine, according to Police Chief Dan Boring, who described the accident as “one of those ‘you can’t believe that it occurred’ kind of things.” Boring said Officer Chris Campbell was hit by a round fired by another officer during a routine training exercise. The bullet ricocheted off a metal target mount and hit Campbell under his arm, above his vest, while he was in a firing position, Boring said. “It bounced off one target at an odd angle,” Boring said. “You could do that 100 times, and you’d never make it happen again.” Boring said the other officer, Matt Eggers, whose cheek was scraped, is also fine. Boring said he didn’t know if the whole bullet or just a fragment hit Eggers. The chief described the exercise, which took place on the federal Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center near Berryville, as “pretty static standard training.” Campbell was flown to Inova Fairfax Hospital via AirCare3 Medevac out of Leesburg after the accident occurred about 11:30 a.m. June 13.

Jesse Ratcliffe

Music is his ministry Christmas in June? For organist and music director at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Warrenton, it’s never too soon to starting rehearsing. Handel’s “Messiah” is on the schedule for December and, as evidenced by past

performances, the glorious sound produced by the church’s nearly 20 members is worth the work. “Hallelujah” and “For Unto Us a Child is Born” practices start today. This year marks five years for Jesse Ratcliffe, a native of Hinton, West Virginia, who, at 30, maintains a rigorous schedule at the church orchestrating their music program, which includes a children’s and adult choir, special services throughout the year and a hand bell choir. A maestro at the organ — he’s played in Europe several times, he also has a fondness for the bells. In addition to his responsibilities at St. James’, Ratcliffe is the carillonneur at the Luray Singing Tower in Page

County, a position he was honored to accept as his predecessors, notably David Breneman (1984-2013) and Charles Chapman (19371984), had served in that capacity for decades. The carillon, an ancient instrument, is composed of an intricate system of wires and clappers. Its keyboard is a series of oak levers called batons. Unlike the piano or organ that is played with your fingers, a loosely closed hand or fist is used to push down the batons. The pedals are connected to the levers that play the larger bells. Watching Ratcliffe’s fists fly on the carillon is energizing — it’s a workout — and it takes climbing 108 stairs that lead to the tower room to get to this magical instrument. The national anthem is a usual starter in Ratcliffe’s program, but it could just as easily be a piece by Bach or a Sinatra love song. Folks will gather on the grounds around the tower, but the sound is far reaching, wafting from the tower to the Blue Ridge Mountains in heavenly fashion. Ratcliffe awakens a sleeping, musical giant who can now raise its voice and sing beautifully in Luray. From Concord University, Ratcliffe continued his musical education at Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester where he earned his master’s. An active organ recitalist, he has performed recitals in West Virginia, Virginia, New York, North Carolina and in 2014 performed during the Edinburgh

International Festival. Ratcliffe and members of the choir recently held their year-end social where he profusely thanked them all for their continued hard work, dedication and commitment. “We appreciate all that he does,” said Tom Gruszewski, a longtime member who sings bass. Ratcliffe definitely gets the best out of the group who appreciate his knowledge and breadth of music history. He often will share why a composer’s music is jubilant or melancholy to add to the richness of the piece. While Ratcliffe is a stickler for lifted palettes and rounded, rich tones, it’s all about the music and, for Ratcliffe, it’s the choir’s prayer and way of engaging the congregation. It’s their unique ministry and that mission is to be honored. Always keen to engage other choirs, St. James’ performed with the choir at Grace Episcopal in The Plains last year in a recital of Faure’s “Requiem.” On Sunday, July 1, they will join with the choir at First Baptist Church in Culpeper for a Patriotic Concert which will also feature the Culpeper Community Band. Located at 318 S. West St., the free concert starts at 4 p.m. This Saturday, June 23, from 6-8 p.m., Ratcliffe will be the guest carillonneur at the Netherlands Carillon adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery. Listen to the tower sing. — Compiled by Anita Sherman

BOB’s job: Bringing books and fun to kids By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

BOB’s visits make the kids happy. BOB is Books on the Bus, a new summer program that brings free books to the pre-kindergarten through elementary school crowd, plus field games, music and refreshments. The idea is to help keep the kids busy, entertained — and reading — during the summer months when they’re out of school. BOB follows a schedule that takes it to Warrenton, Bealeton, The Plains and Marshall through July 27 with a week off from July 1-7. There’s no cost to join in the fun. Shannon Nash of Warrenton brought her 6- and 8-year-old girls to Eva Walker Park in Warrenton on June 13 and said as the girls were off having fun and that the program is “fabulous.” “It’s really well organized. It’s nice to have something free to go to,” she said. Alison Brennan of Warrenton brought her 7-yearold daughter to Walker Park. “She’s done everything so far” at the park, Brennan said. “I think it’s great. It’s nice to see all the kids outside.” The Nashes and Brennans were among 162 people who came to Walker Park during the two hours BOB was there. The kids could pick out a free book to take home, sign up for a library card, draw at tables in the pavilion, play a piano, join in dodge ball and other field games, or run through an obstacle course of cones, hoops and jumps. There was water to keep them hydrated and snack bars to keep their energy levels up. There were individual packed lunches to take home for those in need. In many ways, BOB is a community effort. BOB got going thanks to a sponsorship between the Fauquier County Public Schools, Fauquier County Public Library, the PATH Foundation and Town of Warrenton Parks and Recreation. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is a program partner, and representatives set up and staffed the obstacle course at Walker Park. The sheriff’s office also supplied

It once served as a command center but became BOB after it was discovered a used school bus wouldn’t fit into the bay to store it. An auto mechanics class removed the logo and fixtures that were on the bus. Student Andrea Riedel designed a BOB logo. Eagle Scout candidate Ryan Jones and fellow Boy Scouts installed the bench seating and storage in the bus. BOB is making stops at different regions of the county. “We tried to pick areas that are walkable,” explained Kristen McAuliffe, preschool coordinator for Fauquier County Public Schools, who’s in charge of the BOB program. The schedule is:

• Tuesdays through July 24 — from 9 to 9:45 a.m. at the John Page Turner Community House, 6473 Main St. in The Plains; and 10:15 to 11 a.m. at the Marshall Community Center, 4133-A Rectortown Road, Marshall. • Wednesdays through July 25 — from 9 to 11 a.m., Eva Walker Park, 144 Haiti St., Warrenton. • Thursdays through July 27 — from 9 to 9:45 a.m., Marsh Run Community, 11734 Coffman Circle, Bealeton; and 10:15 to 11 a.m., Cedar Lee Middle School, 11138 Marsh Road in Bealeton. McAuliffe worked with Dawn

Sowers, public services manager for Fauquier County Public Library, to get the program started. “We started putting our heads together. We reached out to different organizations. We both had contacts within the community. That’s how BOB was born,” explained Sowers. Paid staff and volunteers keep it going, no small feat given it’s a program on the move that requires setting up and taking down at each stop. The following community organizations are doing their part as partners to make BOB a success: Allegro Community School of the Arts, Fauquier County Community Child Care, Fauquier County Parks and Recreation, Fauquier FISH, First Baptist Church of Warrenton, FRESH (Fauquier Reaches for Excellence in School Health), L.A.M.P. (Literacy, Art Music, Physical Education) Mobile, Learning Starts Early, First Baptist Church of Warrenton and the Windy Hill Foundation. “It’s been a really good partnership,” said Sowers. The goal is to keep BOB fueled with enough funding to keep traveling summer after summer. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Horse show president resigns after alleged remark By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

Mike Smith, who has served as president of the prestigious Upperville Colt and Horse Show for five years, resigned effective Monday, June 11, two days after an alleged incident involving Smith and a member of the catering staff in the show’s main hospitality tent. Smith, who lives near Upperville, became upset when the member of the catering staff attempted to drive into an area near the show’s main hospitality tent. Smith asked the staff member to move away from the area and later met with the driver and his supervisor near the tent located on the north side of U.S. 50, according to sources familiar with the incident who asked that their names not be published. Barbara Roux, who lives at St. Bride’s Farm in Upperville and is now the show’s interim president, confirmed in a statement that “the incident” involving Smith took place Saturday, June 9, the next-to-last day of the competition. “We were made aware of the incident that occurred last Saturday morning at the horse show, between Mike Smith and a member of the catering staff,” Roux said in a statement in response to an inquiry from the Fauquier Times. “Mike met with a member of our b oard first thing Sunday morning and it was agreed that he would formally resign on Monday morning after the show concluded. On Monday, he notified the entire board that he was resigning as president effective immediately. A board meeting was held Monday afternoon to acknowledge his letter and begin the process of naming a new president,” Roux’s statement said. “Upperville is a community event and should represent the best values of our community,” the statement continued. “Some of those values

Mike Smith denies using ‘racial term’

are that we are inclusive. We support children and art; our local food pantry, Seven Loaves; humane societies—Fauquier Humane and Middleburg Humane Foundation; and our military. We welcome and host all people. We take these values seriously, and it is what has made Upperville such an incredibly special week.” Roux declined to comment on specific details on the incident. Asked if Smith’s resignation as president meant he would remain on the board, Roux responded in an email. “We had a board meeting on Monday, and it was strictly focused on the complete governance aspect of choosing a new president,” she wrote. “We have undertaken an effort with an outside advisor to make sure that we are fully aware of exactly what happened and have taken appropriate action.” She also recognized Smith’s service as president to the show. “Mike served as president for five years when the show saw enormous growth and success,” Roux wrote. “He invested a great deal of time and effort into the show and we all appreciate his contributions.” Roux said the process already is underway to select a new president for an event that began in 1853 and is the oldest horse show in the country. Roux, who had been serving as first vice president, is considered among the candidates to replace Smith. In an interview Saturday, June 16, Smith confirmed he had a discussion with the driver of a catering van about where he should be driving the vehicle. He said he also spoke with the driver’s supervisor, and later shook hands with the driver. Smith denied making an insensitive remark, however, saying: “I never used a racial term at all.” Anelise Miller, a co-owner of the Jacksonville, Florida-based caterer,

Back Alli’s Catering, declined to comment on the incident. “We did the event,” she said in a telephone interview. “It was extremely successful, and we have no ill feelings toward anyone in Upperville from what may have happened.” A native of Winchester, Smith had been president of the Upperville show since 2014 and has been a generous donor to the event over the years. He’s credited with spearheading major upgrades to the show over his tenure, including several new competition areas, significant increases in prize money and a revamped hospitality program. He and his wife, Wendy, were listed as co-sponsors along with Lugano Diamonds for this year’s marquee Grand Prix event, the $216,000 FEI Upperville Jumper Classic on June 10. Smith owns the Winchester-based Valley Proteins, one of the country’s largest rendering companies. He and his wife live at Poplar Grange, a 103-acre farm on the Atoka Road near Upperville. Last year, he also purchased Atoka Farm, across the road from their home. Atoka Farm was once owned by former Virginia Sen. John Warner. Both properties have been placed in conservation easement, and Smith recently was honored for those efforts by the

Mike Smith Land Trust of Virginia. In a telephone interview, Smith said he began thinking about resigning as president last October when he was asked to become a member of the executive committee of the National Rendering Association. “If I was going to do it, I’d have to step away from Upperville,” he said. “I met with key people in the winter and spring and let them know it was probably going to be my last show. My plan was to step down, and that’s why I stepped down. “I had a great run. I’m very proud about what we accomplished. With the condition of the current board and the reorganization of the staff, they were in position to run the show at the same level and I was not needed any more.” Reach Len Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com

Supervisors OK monopole tower in Goldvein Board also OKs firearms, medical training facility By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A 195-foot monopole tower will rise over a Goldvein field to bring improved wireless service following approval by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. By a 4-to-0 vote with Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo absent, the board approved the tower following a June 14 public hearing that drew comments in support of the tower because of the service it would bring and against the tower because of its height, its close proximity to neighbors and concerns that transmissions are unhealthy. “Verizon Wireless is ready to co-locate now. They need the height,” said Barb Pivec, a partner with Calvert Crossland, a company involved with site acquisition and obtaining approvals for communication towers. Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, who’s led the county’s effort to improve broadband service, said he had better cell service during a trip to Kenya than he experiences in Fauquier. “I know that every site isn’t going to be ideal for every single person,” Gerhardt said. But the towers enhance public safety and quality of life, he said. “We need to do it in a very thoughtful way. We don’t mean to cram it down anyone’s throat,” he added. Supervisors Chairman Chris Butler, who represents the Lee District, said he looks at power lines outside his window so he understands the feelings of those who don’t want to see a tower outside theirs. “The powerlines are providing service,” Butler said. “Connectivity is a problem” for first responders. The tower will serve Verizon Wireless and Omnipoint in the near term and has space for three other carriers. The vote by the supervisors granted a special exception to erect a 195-foot tower. The county requires an exception if the tower’s height exceeds 80 feet. The proposed Goldvein tower is off Rivenoak Lane with Va. 615 (Rock Run Road) being the nearest major road. The tower will be surrounded by a wooden fence compound. It is an area zoned agriculture with homes and farms. Monroe Park is about a half mile away. The tower will fill a coverage gap in Goldvein and along U.S. 17. The county planning commission last month recommended approval of the special exception. CityScape, the county’s tele-

communications consultant, said the applicant had justified the need for the tower at the proposed location and height. In a related action, the supervisors approved an agreement with Milestone Development to market sites on the county property to communication providers to construct towers and other facilities. Milestone is currently assisting the Fauquier County Public Schools and the City of Manassas. Fauquier will receive revenue from leasing space to providers. The supervisors also voted to accept a $90,000 grant from the

PATH Foundation to be used toward construction of three new towers.

Board OKs firearms training facility

In other business, the supervisors also approved two special-exception requests for NorthPoint Training to operate a firearms and medical training facility on land off Sillamon Road in Goldvein. The action followed a public hearing that drew several neighbors of applicant John K. Brown who said he is a great neighbor, and they support his training fa-

cility for law-enforcement professionals. Some speakers, however, voiced opposition to the facility’s location. The supervisors approved the NorthPoint request but decided to review the matter in one year. Limits have been placed on the hours of training and number of participants. Noise suppressors are to be used on the firearms. The planning commission previously recommended that supervisors approve the special exceptions. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Fauquier’s ‘health outcomes’ rank 17th in Virginia By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County sits within the top tier of counties and independent cities in Virginia in a ranking of the health of the population based on factors such as access to and quality of care, tobacco and alcohol use, diet and exercise. Fauquier ranked 17th in 2018 and 16th in 2017 for “health outcomes” — the length and quality of life. It ranked 19th in health factors in 2018 and 24th in 2017. Virginia’s 95 counties and 38 independent cities were included in the County Health Rankings compiled by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. “The annual rankings provide a revealing snapshot of how health is influenced by where we live, learn, work and play. They provide a starting point for change in communities,” according to an explanation from the countyhealthrankings.org website. A breakdown of figures about Fauquier and the other counties and cities in the study can be found there. Fauquier County Health Director Wade Kartchner shared the findings

about Fauquier with the county board of supervisors during a June 14 work session. From 2017 to 2018, the percentage of adults reporting they engage in no physical activity rose (24 percent do not exercise), as did the unemployment rate (3.4 percent) and the percentage of children in poverty (7 percent). Better results were seen in the number of uninsured adults (9 percent), a reduction in preventable hospital stays (55 in 2015 compared to 78 in 2011), less air pollution (decreases in fine particulate matter from 2008 to 2012, the latest year with figures) and fewer violent crimes (79 in 2013 compared to more than 100 for consecutive years from 2004 through 2010). Kartchner said the health department can’t impact all areas covered by the survey, but the rankings do “help to target areas we can work on.” The Fauquier health department is a state entity and part of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District. It provides clinic services at 330 Hospital Drive, Suite 101, and issues well, sewage disposal and septic permits at 98 Alexandria Pike, Suite 42. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

State says controversial Haymarket power lines needed By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The State Corporation Commission has determined Dominion Energy’s service upgrade in Haymarket is needed, paving the way for the utility to formally apply to bury a section of a new high-voltage power transmission lines as a pilot project. The project had long been contested over routing and whether the upgrade was needed to serve a growing need as the utility long contended. The Coalition to Save Prince William County and the Somerset Crossing Homeowners Association

COURTESY IMAGE A rendering of Dominion Energy high-voltage power lines. signed an agreement with Dominion in March that ended a legal challenge in exchange for Dominion agreeing to bury 3.1 miles of the 5.3-mile transmission lines along a “hybrid”

route that follows Interstate 66. Last year, Del. Tim Hugo, R-40th, got a pilot program to bury new transmission lines added to a bill that rescinded Dominion’s freeze on power rates. Following the SCC’s affirmation June 12 that Dominion Energy demonstrated a need for the Haymarket project, Dominion released the following statement: “We are pleased with this development. It represents an important step in our efforts to maintain reliable electric service for the communities in western Prince William County. We now look forward to requesting that the SCC include the

Cheswick Motel residents search for somewhere to go CHESWICK from page 1 As of Monday, June 18, there were still two individuals, two couples and two families of three living at the motel. Warrenton Community Development Director Brandie Schaeffer said the town is working with Fauquier County’s Department of Social Services to help the Cheswick residents find new homes or at least temporary shelter. “We continue to work with social services on solutions for the residents and have met with the county [staff] three times, including an onsite meeting with the residents,” Schaeffer said. “They have been more than helpful [with] connecting us and the residents with services even outside their agency.” “…The current living conditions are not safe, and we hope to find more permanent solutions for the residents,” she added. An inspection of the motel by the Town of Warrenton and fire department last month found a number of violations that “constitute a dangerous, unsafe and unsanitary structure.” More than a dozen units were deemed “unfit for human habitation,” according to the town’s violation notice. Dr. T. Tyronne Champion and his wife, Felicia, who run Community Touch of Bealeton, were at the Cheswick Monday trying to help the remaining residents line up new housing. One resident, Harry McPeak, said he was “really relieved” after speaking to Champion “because he is trying to help us find a place to move.” Champion gave the residents a list of area landlords who rent apartments and urged them to apply for financial assistance. “Some landlords do understand that these people may have challenges,” Champion said, explaining that The Foothills Housing Corporation “gives us the money to help them get to the place.” Champion said they found an apartment for one of the Cheswick residents Monday. “She won’t be homeless,” he said. There seemed to be some confusion among the residents and motel staff about the deadline for residents to leave the premises. Roy James, a motel manager, said he was under the impression everyone needed to be out by Monday, June 18. “Today was the last day for people to be here,” James said. “No one’s told me that it was Friday, the 22nd yet. Not the town, not the lawyer, not anybody yet.” The motel and its surrounding property on Broadview Avenue near the intersection of U.S. 17, are up for sale and listed for $2.9 million. The motel was to have been replaced by a Lidl grocery store, but the chain decided last December not to locate in Warrenton. Leland Schwartz can be reached at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Warrenton Town Council approves record $34.2M budget By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

The Warrenton Town Council on Tuesday approved a budget of more than $34 million — about half of which will be used to run the town for the next year, the rest to improve infrastructure and purchase equipment — while also bidding farewell to outgoing Mayor Powell Duggan and Vice Mayor Sunny Reynolds and thanking them for their service. By a 5-2 vote, the council increased the cigarette tax from $0.15 to $0.20 per pack, raised user charges at the WARF by 5 percent and increased the planning, zoning and inspections fee

schedule. The council also decreased business, professional and occupational licensing tax rates for personal and professional services by 10 percent, and increased water and sewer rates by 3 percent, raising the monthly bill of a typical residence by $1.36. The new budget represents a 16-percent increase over current year spending, which totaled $27.9 million. The town will add several new positions, including a human resources manager, to the more than 100 employees it takes to provide town services. The budget will pay to rebuild the playground at Rady Park; extend the Timber Fence Trail from the park,

IT’S FLEA MARKET SEASON!!

past Fauquier High School, and to the WARF; upgrade both the water plant and the wastewater plant; and provide the police department with state-ofthe-art radios and six new cruisers. Keeping with its balanced-budget policy, the council will help pay for the new expenditures by using more than $2 million of its available unassigned fund balance, leaving the reserve fund with less than $200,000. That led Councilmen Sean Polster (at-large) and Jerry Wood (Ward 1) to vote against the $34.2 million budget, with Wood saying he thinks the town is getting itself into a corner where it would be pressed to raise taxes. But in voting to approve the fiscal 2019 budget and its companion 2019-

2024 capital improvements budget, the other five councilmembers said they believe the expenditures are necessary to keep Warrenton moving forward. At the same time, Duggan said he wanted to make clear the town, also by policy, has an untouchable $7 million on hand, so that it can always operate for six months without new revenue if necessary in case of calamity. More than half the town’s revenue comes from taxes. Property taxes generate $1.3 million, with another $7 million generated by other local taxes. Charges services bring in $1.3 million, while $3 million comes from the commonwealth. Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Dangerous, invasive weed confirmed in Virginia By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

The news of the giant hogweed invading Virginia has gone viral. The towering invasive weed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) stretches up to 14 feet tall and appears innocent. However, the sap on the weed has been known to cause serious injury, including severe blisters to the skin and even up to third-degree burns and blindness to those who come in contact with it. The Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension Facebook page on the Giant Hogweed hosted 113,000 views in six days.

Stories about the dangers of it have been published by many media outlets. The weed was recently confirmed in Clarke County, Virginia, according to Debra Martin of the Virginia Department of Agriculture office of Plant Industry Services in Richmond. “We have received several other reports of hogweed in different parts of the state, but those are unconfirmed at this point,” Martin said. “We will follow up on those reports this week.” Still, Virginia Tech notes it’s possible to confuse the giant hogweed with other oversized weeds, such as cow parsnip. It’s advised not to mow

or cut down the weed, as that’s how contact with its dangerous sap usually occurs. Use of a weed-whacker is not advised to because it could cause the sap to splatter. Instead, the plant should either be pulled up using protective clothing or destroyed by use of herbicides. Reach Vicky Moon at news@fauquier.com

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

‘My name is Virginia, and I have a voter turnout problem.’

If you are an election aficionado or political junkie, you may know Virginia held a primary election last week. In winning the GOP’s nomination to face Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in the fall, Prince William’s own Corey Stewart drew national attention. But locally, the primaries drew little interest. Turnout for the Republican primary for U.S. Senate was only 7.78 percent in Fauquier, county Registrar Alex Ables said Friday. And turnout in Fauquier for the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District was even lower, at 2.98 percent, Ables said. However, only voters in the Catlett, Lois, Morrisville and Bealeton precincts were eligible to cast ballots in that contest. Surprisingly, neither was a record low turnout. But, in comparison, Warrenton’s local election last month drew 22.27 percent. Voter turnout last week in Prince William was a slightly better 10.5 percent OUR VIEW countywide, surely due in no small part to the presence of Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-at large, on the ballot. Also drawing interest was a competitive, three-way Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District, which stretches from Nokesville to Triangle in Prince William. But all in all, these numbers still border on embarrassing. But rather than chastise voters for staying home, perhaps it is better to ask: “Why?” Primaries inherently have low turnouts. They aren’t presidential elections, but rather inter-party squabbles to determine the more interesting elections in the fall, when control of the U.S. House and possibly the U.S. Senate are in play. One possibility for low turnout is the quality of the candidates. In a political world ever more dominated by sound bites and social media that most often play to the extremes, the candidates are more polarized than ever. Voter apathy could easily be chalked up to a lack of interest in the candidates and what they are selling. Another factor could be timing. June is a tough month for an election. School is ending, kids are graduating, people are planning vacations and summer is under way. A lack of publicity certainly doesn’t help turnout, either. The aforementioned May 1 town elections saw campaign signs on most lawns and street poles, dwarfing the number of signs for last week’s primary. And voter fatigue surely plays a factor. With local elections in May, it is hard to comprehend a separate election in June. Indeed, some people didn’t even know there was a primary election June 12 according to Matthew Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William County Office of Elections. Some of these problems would take changes on the state level. But factors such as voter fatigue and lack of publicity could be addressed by combining primaries with local elections, while also incurring a cost savings to the public. It’s something to think about. And, it’s important to remind voters of their individual responsibilities. If a voter is interested enough to disagree with the party’s nominee, then that voter needs to make their voice heard in the primary. That means taking the initiative to pay attention to the election calendar and getting to the polls. The alternative is living with the nominees you get. What makes our country unique is we elect our officials. They are not born into the job or appointed. Elections are how we hold our representatives accountable. When one in 10 voters hold sway over party nominations, it is fair to say the system is broken. It’s easy to point fingers as to who broke it. The hard work lies in finding solutions. Yes, Virginia has a voter turnout problem. Now we need to fix it.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES

At the end of the 1959-60 school year, the Morrisville Elementary School — the last one-room school for white children in the county — was closed. Mrs. Earl Balderson, who had taught at Morrisville for the past 18 years, and was a student there herself, is shown saying good-bye to two of her 24 students.

75 Years Ago June 24, 1943 Hot and tired, sunburned, footsore and chigger-bitten, 38 officers and men of the Warrenton Rifles, V.P.F. and 62 officers and men of the Fauquier County Virginia Reserve Militia returned to Warrenton Sunday afternoon from the 24-hour encampment at the Manassas Battlefield, during which they participated with approximately 600 of their comrades from the 111th Battalion in the “Fourth Battle of Bull Run.” Too few women are making surgical dressings for the armed services, Mrs. M. J. O’Connell, chairman, told members of the Fauquier Chapter, American Red Cross. “The tremendous quotas assigned the Surgical Dressings Service under Mrs. Arthur Charrington have been completed by a very small group of women,” said Mrs. O’Connell in her annual report. 50 Years Ago June 27, 1968 Marine Lance Corporal Michael E. Frank, son of Maj. and Mrs. E. W. Frank of New Baltimore, has received the Air Medal for operations against the Viet Cong in the Republic of Viet Nam. He earned the decoration as a combat correspondent with the 1st Marine Air Wing. Postmaster Charles Jeffries pleads with the public to stop using government property at the post office as parking and

turning space. “I don’t want to be mean about it,” said Mr. Jeffries. “But if the violations continue, we’ll have to have cars towed away — in self-defense.” Eighth District Congressman William L. Scott was reported to have ejected a group of about 15 Reston residents from his office following a dispute over pending Federal gun control legislation. The group was there to push for more stringent control of firearms, but when they met with Scott a disagreement ensued, and they were ordered from the office. 25 Years Ago June 23, 1993 Moving from one stone to another, on June 17 groups of volunteers working on the clean-up of the Marshall Cemetery slowly put the pieces of their past back together. Most of the 300 stones that were turned over were reset on their bases by 4:30 in the afternoon, and the president of the cemetery association, James Lawrence, said he didn’t think a Saturday clean-up was necessary. A 17-year-old from Marshall was charged with destruction of private property in connection with the June 10 vandalism of the cemetery, according to Fauquier Sheriff Joe Higgs. An extensive investigation had been conducted by Investigator Sgt. G. A. Mauck and Investigator C. Q. Andersen Jr. — Compiled by John T. Toler

OPINION

Separating children from families is not an American value “She was so traumatized that she wasn’t talking. She was just curled up in a little ball.” “…The child was just screaming and nobody could help her. And we know why she was crying. She didn’t have her mother.” Regardless of your political views, I would hope that as citizens of this country, we could come together and declare that forcibly separating children from their families is NOT in alignment with our values.

Primary voter turnout less than 8 percent in Fauquier By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

Last week’s primary elections were sparsely attended events in Fauquier and Prince William counties. Turnout for the Republican primary for U.S. Senate was only 7.78 percent in Fauquier County, Registrar Alex Ables said Friday. And even with Prince William Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart on the ballot, only about 10.5 percent of Prince William County voters turned out to the polls, said Matthew Wilson, spokesman

for the Prince William County Office of Elections. That was a little lower than the office expected, Wilson said, considering Stewart, R-At Large, was vying for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate. “Usually when there’s a recognizable name, it gets people to the polls,” he said. However, it seemed some people didn’t even know there was an election June 12, Wilson said. Stewart won the statewide primary with 44.9 percent of the vote compared to 43.1 percent for Del. Nick Freitas, of Culpeper, and 12 percent

for E.W. Jackson, a minister from Chesapeake. Stewart also carried Prince William with 56.4 percent of the vote, but Freitas took Fauquier with 47.9 percent. On the Democratic side, the marquee race in Prince William and Fauquier was the three-way contest in the 1st District, which stretches from Nokesville to Hampton Roads. Vangie Williams, a federal contractor from King George County, won the nod there. She carried Fauquier with 36 percent of the vote.

ford, won in Prince William with 44.5 percent. In Fauquier County, turnout for the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District was at 2.98 percent, Ables said. However, only voters in the Catlett, Lois, Morrisville and Bealeton precincts were eligible to cast ballots in that contest. While low, the numbers didn’t surprise Ables. Turnout in June primaries is usually less than 10 percent, he said. “These are usually low-turnout affairs,” he said. And last week’s figures weren’t record lows, either. The lowest turnout Ables said he’s seen in recent years was 1.07 percent. That was in June 2005 in a Democratic primary for lieutenant governor. Only 416 of 38,881 voters showed up for that election. Part of Prince William, as well as the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, is in the 10th Congressional District, and the race in November there will be between incumbent GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock and state Sen. Jennifer Wexton, D-33rd. They each won primaries last week, as well. Reach Jonathan Hunley at jhunley@fauquier.com

THE SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH BENEFIT

In societies less advanced Upon the death of his or her husband or wife, the surviving spouse who is living in the same household may be entitled to receive a one-time lump sum benefit of $255. If there is no spouse, a dependent child (generally age 18 or under) may then be eligible for this one-time death benefit. In order to qualify, the deceased worker must have been considered to be “currently insured,” which means he or she had at least six quarters of earnings covered by Social Security withholding during the full 13-quarter period prior to his or her death. It is recommended that a death be immediately reported to the Social Security Administration in order to get the needed paperwork. Usually, the funeral director will report the person’s death to Social Security. You’ll need to give the deceased’s Social Security number to the funeral director so they can make the report. 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. To learn more about our funeral and memorial services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.

Read my reactions: Smedley stopped shots, scored goals By Josh Dorsey

The Smedley File

Special to the Times

It’s rare to hear any disorder referred to as an advantage, but that’s how Adam Smedley speaks of his dyslexia. Smedley addressed his early problems with motor skills at age 2 to ignite a career as a standout soccer goalie and versatile lacrosse performer, leading to his selection as Fauquier Times 2018 Highland Boys Athlete of the Year. People with Dyslexia can have problems with coordination. For Smedley, standing on one foot was awkward. “My mom realized to be able to kick a ball you had to be able to stand on one foot. We used soccer to help me learn to balance on one foot and that, along with my older brother (Curtis), helped spark my interest in soccer,” Smedley said. “As a parent you put your kid in every program that you can that you think is going to help them develop,” said mother Elizabeth Smedley. “He did some occupational therapy and he was bored so I signed him up for soccer thinking that you had to stand on one foot to kick a ball.” Smedley, who will play lacrosse at Davis & Elkins College, an NCAA Division II school in Elkins, West Virginia, said his dyslexia helped him see the field differently, providing perspective.

Soccer and lacrosse standout Adam Smedley is 2018 Fauquier Times Highland School Boys Athlete of the Year. “He learned from an early age that you take the gifts that are given to you and run with them,” said mom Elizabeth. “I think three dimensionally because my brain is configured differently. I can place myself in a situation and see things that most people aren’t able to grasp. It gives me an arm up,” said Smedley. Smedley loves film study and analysis, which could lead to a coaching career. “I have a passion for breaking down games. I want to be a coach at some point. I have an eye for watching film and finding the ins and outs,” he said.

That skill proved handy when the senior soccer captain was asked to be the brick wall behind a back line that featured four new starting defenders. “Adam was in a tough spot this year because we returned four total starters from last year’s team,” said Highland soccer coach Reynolds Oare. “The entire back line was not returning. He got thrown into a difficult situation and I think he played a very big role in building the confidence in the back line to help them

grow.” Smedley saved his best performance for last in a first round state tournament game at favored Christchurch. Highland came up short, 2-1, but Smedley kept the Hawks in the game by turning away nearly every opportunity from what seemed like a firing squad. “Right off the bat we went down 2-0 on goals that there was nothing he could do anything about. It was tough for us to get any offense and he really stepped it up to keep us in that game. He was lights out,” said Oare. In lacrosse, Smedley was the epitome of a team player. Though not his first choice, Smedley agreed to mind the net early in his career as well. “Adam is an all-around athlete,” said Highland lacrosse coach Rich See SMEDLEY, Page 21

Reveling in Carolyn’s talent

Soccer star was Player of the Year as Hawks won another state title By Jeff Malmgren

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

With acute field vision and awareness, Carolyn Treuting helped Highland’s girls soccer team win a state championship this spring. Specifically, she used those skills to spot fourleaf clovers in the grass. Treuting collected 16 of them over the course of her senior season. So after the Hawks arrived in Richmond last month for the VISAA Division II state tournament, she decided to dole out most of those four-leaf clovers to her 14 teammates prior to the title game. Some of the Hawks slid them into their cleats. Some tucked them in their soccer bags. Then they all combined to dominate Nansemond Suffolk in the state final, 5-1, and win Highland’s fourth championship in girls soccer history. “I guess a four-leaf clover really does help,” Treuting, a team captain, said with a laugh. Her ability to anticipate the movements of her teammates and opponents had an even greater effect, though. As a defensive center midfielder, she often used that field vision to facilitate Highland’s transition to offense this season. The Hawks (14-1-2) averaged 2.5 goals scored per match while allowing only five goals all spring, and Treuting was named VISAA D-II state Player of the Year, all of which helped make her the Fauquier Times 2018 Highland Girls Athlete of the Year. Treuting also served as a senior captain of Highland’s swim team and played tennis, so she graduated with 15 varsity seasons under her belt by participating in three sports per year since eighth grade. Across those sports, she made seven all-Delaney Athletic Conference teams and four all-state lists, but soccer rightfully accounted for most of those accolades. “She has really good speed and a good first touch under control,” Highland girls soccer coach Reynolds Oare said. “She really showed a knack for being able to get a ball in tight spaces and keep it, and get out of those tight spaces.” Treuting, 18, also had an amazing scoring touch. So she graduated with 64 career goals after leading the Hawks in goals during her sophomore and junior seasons. “She definitely just has a nose for scoring,” Oare said of Treuting, who was previously voted the 2016 D-II state Player of the Year. “She was just really dangerous.” Yet Treuting scored only five goals as a senior. That happened by design, though. For the 2018 season, Oare decided to move Treuting away from the forward position that she played the previous four seasons, averaging 14.8 goals per spring. Playing instead as a defensive midfielder limited her scoring opportunities, but that actually benefited the Hawks after they lost a trio of vital midfielders to graduation following the 2017 season. “I don’t know if I did make [that change] confidently, to be honest,” Oare said of moving Treuting from forward. “But we felt like we needed her to affect the game in more ways. “There were times throughout the year where I kind of wanted to bring her up to give us more of a scoring punch,” Oare said. “But she was just too good in that midfield. … I was scared to take her out of that spot.” He did make that move occasionally, though. In the state title game, for example, Oare shifted Treuting to the offensive side of the field with Highland struggling to convert most of its plentiful scoring opportunities. She responded by producing the winning goal, making it about 32 minutes into the first half to give the Hawks an

It really opened up my eyes to see the field better.” The Hawks won only three of their first six games, but they finished on an 11-game winning streak that included a victory in the state final. “It put the biggest smile on my face,” Treuting said. “It just topped off my soccer career at Highland, especially with all the odds against us.”

7 more state trips

Teuting managed to qualify for state during all three of her years playing tennis for Highland and during her final four swim seasons. As a senior swimmer, she competed in three relays at the VISAA D-II meet – 200-yard medley, 200 freestyle and 400 free. “It’s not my best sport, but it’s always something that I wanted to improve at,” Treuting said. “That was a lot of fun because I had to push myself.” Treuting set personal-best times as a senior in the 500 and 50 free, swimming 6:40 and 28 seconds in those respective events. “Really happy I was able to drop all this time, she said. “I could

Warrenton’s Lees wins award for Gold Cup photo By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

A local photographer took top prize in the prestigious American Horse Publications annual media contest, with a locally-published magazine winning big for feature stories and overall design. Warrenton native Douglas Lees took the winning image at the 2017 Virginia Gold Cup, capturing victors Gus Dahl and Ebanour returning to the winner’s circle covered in mud along with their championship glory. The photo was first published in the May 8, 2017 Fauquier Times.

Judges called it “expressive, colorful and bursting with energy.” “It was a rainy nasty day,” Lees recalled, “but a great Gold Cup for Irvin Naylor’s Ebanour, Gus Dahl … and Beth Supick leading the winner. “Irv retired the cup with this win. In 48 years of photographing Gold Cup I’ve photographed three retirements: 1984 Dr. Rogers, 1998 Ann Stern, and 2009 Naylor.” Other winners included a handful of prizes for the Middleburg-published Chronicle of the Horse magazine. They won for general excellence with their lifestyle magazine

BATTLEFIELD RIDE Manassas trail ride is Sunday

The Battlefield Equestrian Society hosts their annual guided historical trail ride Sunday, June 24 at the Manassas National Battlefield Park. Members of the modern re-enactment unit, the Black Horse Cavalry, 4th Virginia, Co. H., ride along with participants to talk about the First and Second Battles of Manassas. The Black Horse was initially formed in Fauquier County in 1859 as an independent volunteer cavalry company. At First Manassas, it initially guarded the commander but was later released to pursue the retreating Federals. The present Black Horse is a group of living historians that equip and train as authentic cavalry. The unit was founded in 1972 and currently has more than 30 members.

Argentina’s Mourino loves playing, teaching on Virginia circuit By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

POLO PERSONALITIES

To call polo “a big deal” in Argentina is an understatement. From the gaucho traditions of cattle-raising estancias to millions of hectares of open grass plains, Argentines were positioned to embrace the then-new Anglo sport when English settlers brought the game to South America in the 1870s. They quickly became best in the world: Argentina won the last polo Olympic gold, at Berlin in ’36. Today, nine of the world’s top 10 polo pros are from Argentina. It’s a big deal. New pro for Middleburg’s Greenhill Polo, and an instructor at Great Meadow Polo in The Plains, Justo Mourino says he’s benefited from 150 years of history in his native Argentina, as well as three generations of experience in his own family. “My father, Jose, he was a 5-goal pro,” said Mourino, at 26 rated 3-goals both on the field and in the arena. “My grandfather played, too. I never met him, but they say he was a very, very good player.” Mourino grew up in Argentina’s

ing his swing from the ground. He started to play on horseback at 10. A bad fall at age 12 nearly cut his career short, Mourino says. He fell forward under the legs of a galloping horse that crushed his spleen and laid him up for six months. But Mourino didn’t lose his zeal for polo. He hopped back in the saddle as soon as he could. “I wasn’t scared,” he said, thinking back on the incident. “This was my plan, always my dream.” Fully recovered – and back to polo, Mourino finished high school then spent six years playing in Cirencester, England and Dubai. He met Middleburg’s David Greenhill, and was invited to come to Virginia. First stop last winter was the Palm Beach, Florida circuit. Mourino moved to The Plains in May. He rides on Greenhill’s Greenhill Winery squad and teaches lessons at Great Meadow Polo. “I love Virginia,” Mourino said, saying the horses and the people here made him instantly comfortable

With thousands of acres and hundreds of horses available, Mourino saw his future early. “I started with a foot mallet,” he recalled, as a very small boy practic-

in his new home. “I feel very lucky to be here. “It’s fun polo. Everyone’s friends with everyone. It’s a good circuit.” While polo in England may have an elitist image, in the U.S. as well as Argentina it is a populist sport, with charity and championship matches attracting crowds of 30,000 and up. Anyone can learn to play, Mourino says, and beginners have as much pro support as much as high-goal players. The game’s seemingly inherent barriers like experience, skill and money are softened at clubs like GMP, and with quality instructors like Mourino, explains club president John Gobin. Gobin says the Sport of Kings is quite accessible through group lessons and school league chukkers. Gobin says pupils go from not knowing how to ride to playing chukkers, often in their first day of instruction. “Justo is a really hard worker,” Gobin said. “He’s great at helping beginners learn the game. “Having played in Dubai and England, he brings a world of knowledge with him.”

Hiker Harpole is halfway to Maine By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Amissville’s Doug Harpole began hiking the Appalachian Trail on March 13. On June 1, he reached Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and is now over halfway through the 2,180mile route. Days later he crossed the panhandle of Maryland and Mason-Dixon Line to reach Pennsylvania. At Pine Grove Furnace State Park he indulged in the Half-Gallon Challenge, a test of how fast one can eat a half-gallon of ice cream. Since Hershey’s is a Pennsylvania brand, Harpole chose their “banana pudding flavor because it seemed remotely healthy,” he said. “Not everyone can finish, but ev-

eryone in our group did. [His friend, Cannonball, was] first at a little over 17 minutes. I came in fourth at 39 minutes. There is a log book to sign to document your accomplishment and you get a ‘trophy’ which consists of one of those little wooden ice cream spoons that has logo on it.” Harpole said he then sat in the sun feeling a little buzzed, while Cannonball ordered a double cheeseburger to complete his afternoon. Stay tuned for more updates. After a short break at his Amissville home in late May, Fauquier County’s Doug Harpole reached the halfway point (pictured here) of his 2,180-mile Appalachian Trail hike in early June at Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

Treuting was Hawks’ 4-leaf clover TREUTING, from Page 17 Treuting had Reni Moshos as a teammate in 2016 and swam the 200 free relay with her, finishing 16th to earn a point that help Highland finish second among D-II teams in the girls standings. “That was the best thing ever,” Treuting said. “My favorite moment.” She also helped Highland’s girls tennis team advance to at least the state quarterfinals each of the past three seasons, highlighted by a semifinals appearance in 2015. She finished with a career record of 22-6, including a 3-0 mark this fall, after playing No. 3-6 on the singles ladder

at various times. During a state quarterfinal loss to Steward, 5-1, she produced the Hawks’ lone win, 10-2, at No. 6 singles. She was “getting stronger and more confident each year, becoming an amazing, very competitive tennis player,” Highland coach Paola Riccetti said. “I am so proud of her and feel so lucky to have coached such a multi-talented athlete. She is every coach’s dream.”

2014 and 2015 girls soccer seasons, but the Hawks lost in the state quarterfinals both years before the elder sister graduated. “I was kind of in awe of my sister,” Carolyn Treuting said. “She was a captain and leader of the team. After she left I was really sad I only got to play two years with her.” M.C. Treuting went on to play for Wilkes University (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania), but a recent decision to transfer will put the sisters together again on a soccer roster at Marymount University. “It’s awesome and an amazing feeling,” Carolyn Treuting said. “We’ve really grown tighter. We re-

SMEDLEY, from Page 17 Klares. “He is the type of young man that when you ask him to do something his answer is always going to be yes. He is always going to give you whatever the team needs and on top of that his IQ for sports and how the game works is way above average. It’s incredible to watch his thought process and on top of all that he has natural athletic ability.” Like many in the Highland community, Smedley was scarred when Highland’s beloved lacrosse coach Kevin Helmick passed away in 2016 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. “When coach Helmick passed away it was very hard for me but it was a thing that set off a passion inside of me that wanted to carry on a legacy to other guys of being a model athlete,” Smedley said. “On the field he was coaching great players but off the field he wanted us to be better men. I wanted to carry on the things that he instilled in us as men and athletes.” After saving 156 out of 296 shots his junior season, Smedley was moved to long pole defender as a senior. The arrival of new goalie talents allowed Klares to make the move. Smedley rewarded him by leading the Hawks to Delaney Athletic Conference regular season and tour-

ally have a good sister-bond.” Highland coach Reynolds Oare expects Treuting to play as a forward or attacking midfielder in college despite her defensive role as a high school senior. Perhaps she can also serve as the Saints’ four-leaf clover hunter. She last searched for one before the Hawks departed for the state semifinals in May. “We were getting on the bus and I said, ‘Guys, we need to find a fourleaf clover,’” Treuting said. “So there were like seven of us all looking around in front of Highland.” Yes, she found one before anyone else.

Smedley will play at Davis & Elkins. nament titles in 2018 while earning first-team All-DAC honors and a spot in the state tournament. “Senior year coach gave me a long pole. I was able to excel with my speed,” Smedley said. “More than anything that is what got me recruited in college. The fact that I had only played long pole for about a month before I was recruited for college was a little nerve wrecking but they were so welcoming.” Smedley will play lacrosse at Davis & Elkins while looking to pursue a career in sports management and potentially sports psychology. “He is a great kid that helped build our foundation,” said Klares. “He needs to be commended for it. Being Athlete of the Year is a little more than a statistic and has a tone to go with who he is as a person. I’m going to miss him.“What used to be coach and player will now be friend, and I look forward to that,” Klares said.

Depressed milk prices Seeds, feed and help with weeds – all at the co-op mean more cheese By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

The state of Virginia has about 90,000 milk cows on 615 dairy farms. The state ranks 24th in the country in terms of milk production and 14th in the number of licensed dairy operations. Overall, U.S. dairy farmers continue to produce more milk than there is consumer demand. And with total fluid milk sales in the first quarter of 2018 down nearly two percent compared to prior years, more and more milk is finding its way into manufactured dairy products such as cheese. Americans on average are eating 35 pounds annually, or twice the amount in 1980. The American Farm Bureau Federation recently reported that American cheese stocks totaled 1.35 billion pounds at the end of April, the second-highest total since 1917 and the highest April total ever. This is impressive news for cheese lovers, yet U.S. farmers continue to struggle. This is the fourth year of depressed milk prices due to a global oversupply of milk and lower prices overseas. “Milk has a limited shelf life, but less perishable dairy products like cheese can be stored and sold later when the market conditions improve,” said Tony Banks, a commodity marketing specialist for Virginia

Farm Bureau Federation. “Virginia dairy farmers primarily serve a fluid beverage market; however, their farm gate milk price is predominately driven by the price of dairy products. Summertime poses a challenge for our dairy farmers as fluid consumption dips and product supplies begin to build.” AFBF said cheese inventories generally climb during the spring and peak in July prior to the summer grilling season. It anticipates cheese inventories continuing to increase over the next two to three months. Total domestic consumption of fluid milk has dropped for six straight years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Some of that gap is being made up by domestic cheese consumption, which was up 7.6 percent in 2017 from two years earlier, the USDA reported. American-style cheese stocks totaled 781.5 million pounds, down 2.8 percent from previous years. This spring marks the first time since April 2015 that American-style cheese inventories have been below the previous year’s levels. Inventory of other cheeses, including Italian and Swiss, climbed to a record 565 million pounds, up 13 percent from 2017. Reach Vicky Moon at news@fauquier.com

questions and I will answer these questions until they don’t have any more,” Covington said. “That’s what makes this fun.” Covington admitted that when he was a student at Virginia Tech, he had no clue his career would lead him to the Marshall co-op, and he clearly loves what he’s doing. “I look forward to every day here,” he said. “I have the opportunity to retire any time, but as long as

they’ll have me, I’ll continue to work here.” And when his day is done in Marshall, he heads to his home in Orlean, where he and his wife Rachel manage an Angus and Simmental cattle business on 250 acres. “It’s lots of hours,” he said. “Farmers work a long day.” Culpeper Farmers Co-op Home Farm Centers are located in Marshall, Warrenton, Bealeton, Sperryville and Culpeper.

For landscape architect Nina Fout, life post-Olympics is a great event By Sophie Scheps

Contributing Writer

Nearly 18 years ago, Fauquier native Nina Fout became an Olympic hero after competing in the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, and returning home with a team bronze medal in the equestrian sport, three-day eventing. Just before leaving for the Games, Fout closed up her Middleburg sporting art and framing shop, the Gallery of Country Sport, to finalize her preparations for the competition of a lifetime. So what has Fout been up to in the years ever since? The answer is: quite the juggling act. Fout has been designing cross-country courses as a way to give back to eventing. As she entered a transition period in her life after the Olympics, she was looking for something to complement those skills. In 2003, she began a graduate certificate program at the George Washington University, and after two years, graduated as a certified landscape designer. “It’s such a good fit with course design,” she said. “It was always something I had wanted to do and never dedicated the time. The GW program really got me inspired. I thought, if I was literate on the nuances on being able to render graphically and was able to read topographic maps and understand a little bit more of the engineering components, that would be a different advantage than the everyday person who wanted to course design. It was another feather in my cap.” Fout’s GW experience also unleashed a true passion for the study of plants and landscapes in general. “I became a plant nerd,” she said. “I really enjoy making things look natural, like they were always there, and nothing looks forced. It’s a delicate balance.”

Fout first worked with a residential landscape designer in Prince William County. “I got a lot of experience … in smaller formats, knowing that I really wanted to transition here to the bigger farms,” she said. “I wanted to pull together my knowledge of site-planning and working on a bigger scale, and then I could impart all the things that are important to me in a landscape design.” Fout most enjoys creating sustainable landscapes. Her knowledge of native plants and the habits of local wildlife help her to create oases for pollinators, song birds and other creatures. It’s often a difficult puzzle to work with the natural topography of a property or work with existing buildings, but Fout enjoys noodling through these issues to find the best solution for her clients.

“A funny example would be when I was siting a house,” she said. “I chose the spot based on where I noticed the horses standing all winter long. They got out of the winter wind by standing in a low spot with southern exposure. All the architects really wanted to put the house on a high point that was totally windswept.” The final product is always a true collaboration between Fout and her clients. “Sometimes they have a very clear idea about what they want,” she said. “Maybe they want to rejuvenate some existing planting beds by adding some new color or it may be a blank slate, and then it’s up to me to problem solve their program requirements. Whether it’s a patio or a retaining wall.” Within her own garden in The Plains, Fout loves to experiment. She frequently buys new plants or moves around existing ones to find out where they might thrive. It’s allowed her to increase her knowledge exponentially, making her even more of a major asset to her clients. Fout has done many projects, both large and small, throughout Fauquier and Loudoun counties, purely through word of mouth. As warm weather returns, she’s also eager to fill her summer with new jobs. “It’s horses in the morning and designing in the afternoon,” she said. “And when it’s rainy or too cold outside, I still frame out of my home studio.” Between custom picture-framing, running her horse business (Paul Fout Stables, named for her late father), becoming a FEI-level cross-country course designer and her landscape design business, Fout has little idle time. As usual. To see Nina Fout’s impressive design portfolio, visit her newly-launched website at www.ninafoutlandscapes.com

Is retirement really harder now? Is funding retirement really harder than in years past? In a nutshell, yes. There are many reasons this is true, but following are the three list-toppers: First, people are living longer. When Social Security began in 1935 the average life expectancy was 61. Now, life expectancy is almost 86. Most people still work 35-40 years, so retirement savings have to last longer. The second commonly-cited factor is the disappearance of pensions. Time was when more than 40 percent of Americans had pensions; now only 27 percent do, and that number is dropping with each passing year. Rounding out the top three retirement issues is the rising cost of health care. The older one gets, the more complex one’s medical issues be-

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON come. This means consumption of a pricey commodity goes up over time. Many wealth managers routinely recommend traditional equity lines as a hedge against a monthly shortfall. However, with a traditional line of credit, homeowners pick up a monthly mortgage payment due once they withdraw funds. Because cash flow can be crucially important in the retirement years, a monthly mortgage payment can be a financial burden. A reverse mortgage is a line of credit. However, it does not have a monthly re-

payment obligation. This means that if homeowners need a cash infusion and draw on their reverse mortgage line of credit, they do not incur a monthly payment. The loan balance is repaid when the last person on title permanently vacates the home, and the homeowners, heirs, or the estate get all remaining equity when the home is sold. As is the case with homeownership, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and home repairs must be kept current, and if there are condo dues or a homeowner’s association, fees must be paid on time. The FHA-insured reverse mortgage is not exotic, mysterious, nor even particularly complex. It can, however, be a helpful financial safety net when life becomes unpredictable. No honest lender is ever going to tell you a reverse mortgage

is a universally good fit. There are homeowners for whom the time has come to sell their home and transition into other housing. Some are better served by doing a traditional home-equity line of credit (also called a “forward” line of credit). And there are those who benefit from drawing down savings. But for homeowners who wish to stay at home and plan to leave their savings untouched as long as possible, or for those with tax, inheritance or Medicaid considerations, a reverse mortgage may be the perfect fit.

Richmond-based Sonabank, with branches in Warrenton, Middleburg, Leesburg and Haymarket, has created a package of products and services designed to meet the unique financial needs of nonprofit organizations. The company has started a program called “Community Believers,” that provides a custom-designed package of integrated financial products and marketing services to help nonprofits grow and excel. “We conducted focus groups with over 25 nonprofits in the Richmond and Hampton Roads regions to find out what they really want in a long-term banking relationship and how Sonabank could help them accomplish their respective missions to be successful,” said CEO Joe A. Shearin. “As a result of that research, we developed the Community Believers program of financial products, tools and resources to demonstrate that we understand their world and we support what they’re doing.” There’s no fee to enroll in the program that features a number of benefits for nonprofit members. They include: A dedicated website at CommunityBelievers.com, where participants can post volunteer positions and event calendar details, access a members-only directory to collaborate with other nonprofits and share information, cross-promote volunteer opportunities with Sonabank employees, request use of Sonabank

conference rooms for meetings during banking hours, meet with consulting and human resources professionals at Sonabank, and more. Sonabank’s partnership with BluePay Merchant Services gives nonprofits the ability to accept donations remotely while maintaining the security, flexibility and customer service that the organization’s stakeholders require. Free checking with no monthly fee, no balance requirement and no limit to the number of transactions per month. It pays interest on the balance, so nonprofits can keep their hard-earned donations working for the organization’s mission. Sonabank will tailor a loan or extend a line of credit based on the nonprofit organization’s financial story, plans and capacity. “These nonprofit organizations are improving the quality of life for individuals and families in our communities,” said Michelle Simon, Sonabank’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “Our goal for Community Believers is to make their work easier with effective banking solutions that address their current and future needs. We want to be right there beside them as a business partner, helping them achieve their financial goals and believing in them every step of the way.” To learn more, contact a local office of Sonabank or visit www.CommunityBelievers.com.

Fauquier opens health clinic for county employees

‘Wellness Center’ aims to enhance worker well-being, cut costs By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

It’s been busy at the Fauquier County Employee Wellness Center. Scheduling and following through with 200 physicals for firefighters and school-bus drivers alone makes it so. Plus, there are those coming in for help with common illnesses, back and joint pain, bloodwork and chronic conditions. The clinic, which opened April 4, serves only employees and retirees of Fauquier County, which includes Fauquier County Public Schools, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and the Fauquier County Fire and Rescue. Improving the overall health and productivity of employees is one goal of the new wellness center; reducing the county’s health-care costs is another. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors decided last year to open the center through an agreement with Marathon Health, a Vermont-based company that operates a similar program in Roanoke County. The goal is to keep employees healthy by giving them the tools to manage their own health, and by preventing those with low-risk conditions from becoming mid- or highrisk patients. “I applaud Fauquier for being able to do that. It not only saves the county money but it’s good for employees too. It makes good sense,” said Dean Lynch, executive director of the Virginia Association of Counties. Lynch said the association doesn’t keep track of how many Virginia counties have opened health clinics solely to serve their employees, as Fauquier has. But Lynch said he believes more than half of Virginia’s counties have some type of employee health-care assistance program. See HEALTH CLINIC, Page 31

When you need helping hands By Alice Felts

Special to the Times

If you are in pain and need a physical therapist, the man you may want to help you is Jerry Hoke. An employee of Fauquier Health Home Care Services, he has been working with patients for nearly 40 years. Born and reared in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, a paper mill town, Hoke spent his youth on the family farm. When he and his wife decided to move their family halfway between grandparents, they chose Warrenton. He explained, “Warrenton felt like home, with open farmland. I don’t think I would do this in a city. I’m a country boy; I love the countryside.” As a biology major in college, Hoke was advised that to go further in a career, he would “have to go to more school.” After participating in a physical therapy work study, he was hooked. Hoke attributes his love of his work as genetic. He is from a long line of farmers and teachers and has a bit of teacher mentality. “I am really teaching patients how to do things and what to expect,” he said, adding: “I get to see someone who cannot care for themselves and watch them progress to living independently. It is a wonderfully fulfilling thing to see. You try your absolute best to try to leave the patient better than when you met them or help them to learn to accept new circumstances, and that is very difficult.” A typical day for Hoke involves visiting four to six patients while logging 80-90 miles a day. His schedule involves calling each patient the night before to confirm the appointment and documenting notes while in the patient’s home. While the patient already has the needed equipment, such as a walker, cane, or crutches, he may bring ankle weights, dumbbells or elastic exercise bands. But he said, “The two biggest tools we use are our hands and brains.” Hoke prefers working with patients in their homes as opposed to being in a clinic environment. “In a clinic, you can teach the patient when nothing is in the way. But every person is an individual. In home-health care, you get to see that individual person. You see everyone’s circumstances in every home. You discover that the door may not be wide enough for a walker or wheelchair. When you are in that patient’s home, you see

Physical therapist Jerry Hoke was Margaret Bennard’s choice to help her with a new hip replacement. things you need to teach that you can’t in a clinic,” he said. “You see challenges the patient has to face every day. You have to be a problem-solver. That’s how we make it work.” This physical therapist not only gets to know his patients’ challenges, but also a little about each person. He sees a lot of memorabilia in the home, such as family photos, artwork or hobbies. He learns a lot about the person with subjects he can discuss. “Everybody is an individual and you get to see that individuality,” stresses Hoke. On a recent home visit, Hoke saw a former patient, Margaret Bennard. Margaret previously had a hip replacement and two knee replacements. Recently she had a new replacement on the same hip, and Hoke was her choice for a therapist. As soon as he came inside her home, she smiled, and within seconds Hoke had her laughing. The Bennards, married for 64 years, are both natives of Warrenton and have lots of ties to the community. Margaret’s husband, Bill, said Margaret and Hoke had known each other years ago before his wife ever underwent therapy. Another favorite case was a gentleman who had a knee replacement, a stroke and Parkinson’s disease. His wife was completely involved in his

care. With quite a bit of therapy, the patient was able to walk to the car or go onto the deck for sunshine, with just his wife’s supervision. “That’s a success story,” smiles Hoke. “We certainly care about the patients’ recovery. We want them to be the best at their goals that they can possibly be,” he says adding, “Sometimes we are therapy for the caregivers. They are learning to care for their loved one more easily.” “I hope that my patients say I actually care,” said Hoke. And that seems to be the case. One co-worker confirmed that they do. “Everybody knows Jerry. One patient said he makes you work, but it’s worth it. His patients like that he spends a lot of time with them and explains things well,” said Rebecca Friedman, an account executive with Fauquier Health Home Care. Hoke sums up his vocation and avocation this way: “I was fortunate enough to fall into my passion. I absolutely love it. I have been able to work with a lot of very great people. This doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It doesn’t happen alone.” Alice Felts is a contributing writer and may be reached at warrenton.news@gmail.com

Fauquier opens health clinic for county employees HEALTH CLINIC, from Page 29 Fauquier County Administrator Paul McCulla said officials in Roanoke and Hampton were contacted about their programs when Fauquier was considering starting its own. The city of Salem also operates a wellness center. The contract with Marathon Health was based on the recommendation of a county staff committee, which reviewed six proposals. Marathon will receive $3.2 million in service fees over three years while providing $4.2 million in projected savings to the county over that time. The county also paid a $179,000 implementation fee covering the recruitment, hiring and training of staff, clinic equipment, marketing materials and a project manager. The clinic in Warrenton is open Monday through Friday. Making an appointment is preferred, but walk-in visits are accepted for primary, preventive and occupational health services. There’s no charge for preventive visits, and a co-pay is charged only to those with health savings accounts. Only 20 of the 2,700-county government and school employees have an HSA.

Dr. Levi Rizk, who is on staff at the Fauquier clinic, said he can spend more time on that aspect than in settings where the immediate focus is “on the disease and what to do.” “This is a non-traditional concept that allows time to explore,” Rizk said. “That’s what we’re here for.” The clinic is also an option for those unable to get an appointment to see their primary care doctor as

soon as they’d like, added Janice Macdaniel, a medical assistant. Clinic staff also help patients with asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure manage their conditions. Coaching is offered in better eating habits, managing stress and stopping a smoking habit. Betheny Schumacher, nurse practitioner, said putting the clinic near Old Town Warrenton brings health care closer to many of those who work for

the county and may entice some who might not otherwise visit a doctor. She said area medical practices were informed about the purpose of the wellness center, and that the response from them has been positive. Besides Rizk, Macdaniel and Schumacher, the clinic is staffed by medical assistants Charina Smith and Hayden Catalano. The wellness center, also referred to as a health cottage, looks like any other doctor’s office. There are three exam rooms, an occupational health room, a lab, conference room and an office for the doctor. The occupational health room contains a hearing testing booth, vision testing and pulmonary testing. Pulmonary testing is of particular importance in caring for firefighters who are exposed to smoke and fumes. The staff also checks firefighter masks to make sure the seal is tight. Electrocardiogram tests are also done at the clinic. The clinic operates from space rented on the fifth floor at 98 Alexandria Pike in Warrenton.

Determining the right level of care It is never easy to make a decision on the right level of care. Below are some basic tips on when and where patients should go for care, in order to access services. At the end of the day, patients have to use their best judgment, but these tips will get you started. Dr. Chris Ward, family medicine physician, recognizes the difficulty that patients face and offers some advice. “Where should you go? There is no one catch-all answer, but the best general guideline is the “Prudent Layperson Standard.” This explains that an emergency visit is required when a person is experiencing: “Any medical or behavioral condition that would lead a prudent layperson, possessing an average knowledge of medicine and health, to believe that the severity of their condition would result in death or harm to a physical organ.” So, if a reasonable person thinks their life or a limb is in danger, they should drive by the urgent care to the ER. Insurance companies in some states are starting to deny coverage for some ER visits based on this standard.

When to see your primary care doctor

For common illnesses, minor injuries and routine health exams, the best place to get care is a doctor’s office or clinic. Your doctor can also help you

When to go straight to the ER

Physician’s offices are usually open during regular business hours but may have some extended hours and weekend appointments. Your primary care doctor can help with: • common illnesses such as colds, flu, ear aches, sore throats, migraines, fever or rashes • minor injuries such as sprains, back pain, minor cuts and burns, minor broken bones or minor eye injuries • regular physicals, prescription refills, vaccinations and screenings • a health problem where you need advice

Urgent care clinics provide walk-in appointments and are often open seven days a week with extended hours into the evening and on weekends. Some urgent care clinics are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Some urgent care facilities offer imaging services. Call ahead if you think you may need this level of care. When your regular doctor or health care provider is not available, you should go to an urgent care clinic for: • common illnesses such as colds, the flu, ear aches, sore throats, migraines, fever, rashes • minor injuries such as sprains, back pain, minor cuts and burns, minor broken bones, or minor eye injuries

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, a hospital emergency room provides care for very serious or life-threatening problems. Hospital emergency rooms are not the place to go for common illnesses or minor injuries, but when in doubt, a trip to the emergency room may be needed. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, don’t wait! Call 911 or get to your nearest hospital emergency room: • chest pain • severe abdominal pain • coughing or vomiting blood • severe burns • deep cuts or bleeding that won’t stop • sudden blurred vision • difficulty breathing or shortness of breath • dizziness, weakness, loss of coordination/balance • numbness in the face, arm, or leg • sudden, severe headache (not a migraine) • seizures • high fevers • falls with head trauma • any other condition you believe is life threatening Robin Earl is the public relations specialist for Fauquier Health.

The joys of a walk in the woods By John Hagarty

Special to the Times

Time. It’s our most prized possession. There’s never enough of it, and it flies faster than a thought. We try to husband our time to maximize its usefulness. At the end of the day, we often reflect on where it went. For many of us, carving out time to exercise is a priority. And those who don’t pursue the elusive goal know they should. The medical, scientific and spiritual benefits of regular exercise have been reported with such frequency we tend to zone out when the subject is brought up. Yes, yes, we know we should exercise but…there’s never enough time. Here’s a counterintuitive proposal: Let’s waste some time. But think of it as an investment in your well-being, not frittering away a precious commodity. The only gear you’ll need is a pair of hiking shoes and a small daypack. In four hours or less you can reinvigorate mind and body under the canopy of life-giving greenery. The most challenging aspect of hiking is the commitment to carve out a half-day from work and home responsibilities. To create a further incentive to act let’s combine two concepts: Exercise is good, and a forest atmosphere is beneficial. The former is a given. The latter is the cornerstone of a preventive health practice that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It’s called Shinrin-yoko or “taking in the forest” or “forest bathing.” Researchers in Japan and South Korea have scientifically confirmed the health benefits of spending time un-

“Hiking is the most natural exercise. It’s great medicine for a long and happy life. Nothing beats a walk in the woods, hiking mountains or simply spending time in the outdoors.”

der the canopy of a living forest. The practice is simplicity itself. A person enters a natural area in a relaxed manner and achieves calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits. The science behind the concept is that many trees give off organic compounds that support our “NK,” or natural killer cells, an integral part of our immune system. The benefits of forest bathing include boosting the immune system, reducing blood pressure and stress, and improving mood, ability to focus, energy levels and sleep. The key to maximizing forest bathing is to combine it with hiking. The only hitch is it takes time. But even two or three forest hikes a month can generate a host of healthful benefits. Not to mention experiencing the beauty of a quiet forest or the scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Where to go

Fortunately, Fauquier County residents have both Whitney State Forest and Shenandoah National Park, within easy driving distance. Denizens living inside the beltway must devote a full day to enjoying either

of these treasures. Not so for us locals. In a half a day or less, an adventurous world of real nature awaits. Set the device on airplane mode and free yourself in the forest. Whitney State Forest is a 148-acre refuge located a few miles outside of Warrenton. The forest has a variety of trees and animal life that transport a walker to venues similar to the more challenging nearby mountain trails but within minutes of town. There are more than 6 miles of trails crisscrossing a central fire road. Navigating the forest is easy, and the rewards will include opportunities to encounter a variety of bird and animal life. Breathe deeply and walk gently in this forest. From micro to macro describes heading out to a hike in the SNP. The park has more than 200,000 acres of forest, 500 miles of maintained trails, dozens of cascading waterfalls, peaceful backcountry camping and endless valley views. The centerpiece is Skyline Drive, which meanders the ridgeline for 105 miles, from Front Royal to Waynesboro. The iconic Appalachian Trail parallels the drive, offering the opportunity to step back in time and experience the mountains as yesteryear mountain folk did. When you arrive in the high country, finding your way around SNP is simple. Its trail obelisks and blazed trees easily guide a hiker from trailhead to trail’s end. There are three color-coded trail blazes: white identifies the historic Appalachian Trail, which runs 101 miles See HIKING, Page 32

Hiking clubs

While forest hiking contributes to a healthy lifestyle, social interaction is also a marker for longevity. Getting outdoors with friends and acquaintances is a double-your-pleasure-double -your-fun proposition. There’s no need to plan and execute the hike itself. Simply show up at the designated meeting spot, jump in a car and off to the mountains you go. There are several organized hiking clubs in the area, but the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club is the granddaddy of them all. PATC was founded in 1927 for the purpose of building and maintaining the Appalachian Trail, the longest hiking trail in the world meandering over mountains and through forests from Maine to Georgia. The 2,190-mile footpath traverses through some of the most beautiful scenery in the nation. Each month the club sponsors numerous hikes from easy parklike jaunts to more challenging mountain ascents. Closer to home, Fauquier County has its own hiking club called Boots ’n Beer. The 9-year-old club was founded by local resident and businessman Jim Carson. Andreas Keller, treasurer and charter member of the club says, “Hiking is the most natural exercise. It’s great medicine for a long and happy life. Nothing beats a walk in the woods, hiking moun-

tains or simply spending time in the outdoors.” Given the demands of work today, stress relief is a goal among many Fauquier County citizens. Proof? The club has more than 200 members. A typical hike will see 10 or more folks navigating the trails of the Shenandoah National Park or George Washington National Forest. But it isn’t all-heart pounding, sweat-inducing physical labor that eases a worried mind. Each Boots ’n Beer hike is followed by a rehydration stop at a local tavern. The club’s motto embodies its fun-loving approach to the great outdoors: “A drinking club with a hiking problem.” Its whimsical logo depicts a pair of hiking boots, one with a mug handle and foaming beer head and the other lying on its side in a dreamy beer-induced repose. All hikes terminate with a hydration stop at a local pub or brewery for a cold draft and a bite to eat. Need we say more?

perspiration produced. • Dark Hollow Falls: Pressed for time? This stroll of fewer than 2 miles will reward with four waterfalls and an easy walk. It’s popular, so mid-week hiking is suggested to avoid the crowds. • Stony Man: One of the more secluded loops in the SNP. The 10-mile hike provides picturesque views of both the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding mountains. There is a nice swimming hole on the Rose River to cool the motor down on this workout. • Mary’s Rock: This favorite can be approached as either a 4-mile or 9-mile hike. The shorter version starts at the Panorama parking lot and ascends to stunning views in fewer than 2 miles. The more adventurous can begin in the valley and ascend the Buck Hollow Trail to reach the top.

If it’s Saturday night, it’s Twilight Polo Great Meadow’s Twilight Polo is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018. Since 1993, Twilight Polo has brought the community together for a family-friendly outdoor event and a chance to watch arena polo right here in Fauquier County. Twilight Polo takes place every summer Saturday night at Great Meadow in The Plains. Each event features three polo matches and halftime games for kids and adults. The evening concludes with dancing in the pavilion after the matches are complete. Don’t know anything about polo? No problem. The Great Meadow describes arena polo as “hockey on horseback.” “It’s fast-paced and easy to watch, even if you’ve never seen polo before,” according to the Great Meadow website. General admission seating is on the grassy berm overlooking the Greenhill Stadium. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to set up a comfortable spot for the game. Food and wine are available for purchase on site, but attendees are free to bring their own picnics, including adult beverages.

So, pack up the kids and head out to Great Meadow to watch polo, drink wine and dance the night away. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. the first match starts at 6 p.m. with dancing in the pavilion following the final feature match at 8 p.m. Before the last match, children are invited into the Greenhill Stadium for a giant tug-of-war and twolap race around the stadium. Some theme nights have additional activities geared to children. Here are few other things to know about Twilight Polo: • Wear what you want: There’s no need to get fancy for Twilight Polo unless you want to. “Wear what you are comfortable in,” Great Meadow advises. “You will see ladies in dresses and others in leggings. Do be aware most of the event is on grass, pointed heels are not recommended.” • Play along with the theme but only if you want to: The themes are a fun suggestion, which some guests fully embrace, and others don’t. Again, do what works for you. • Bring: Picnic blankets, camping chairs, small folding tables, food and drinks (including alcohol)

are fine, or you can purchase refreshments on site. Kids are welcome. Dogs not so much. Ditto for grills and tents; leave them at home. • What if I forget my bag chairs? A small number of picnic tables are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are also bleachers behind the east goals. • Handicap parking? Yes, there is parking close to generaladmission seating, but be aware the entire event is on grass. • What if it rains? Great Meadows will make a cancellation decision by 4 p.m. the night of the event, which will be posted on the Great Meadow website, Facebook, and Twitter. • What does a general-admission car pass get you? Car passes are $25 in advance and $30 at the

door. Passes cover entry to the event for up to six people and parking.

If you see items outside of Designs by Teresa at 7 Main St., it is a “sidewalk sale,” not a “going out of business” sale. The building in which the florist is housed is for sale, and so is the florist shop, according to Tina Culver, daughter of store owner Teresa Bowles. But the two may not happen at the same time. Someone interested in a successful business may wish to buy the floral shop, and

then someone else may wish to buy the building. But to squelch rumors,

Orlean Fire Department hosts first art show and sale

Do you know what’s cuter than one tiny baby skunk? Four. Last week we encountered Momma Skunk with a litter of four precious babies; three black and one white like Mom. These babies were quite small, very active with little blackshoe-button eyes. Mom had trouble keeping them in line while crossing Tapps Ford Road, but eventually the brood got it. A huge shout-out to Providence Baptist Church, Orlean, for the use of the parking lot and facilities for the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department yard sale. The sale went well with proceeds directed to the new building fund. All of the baked items were sold, the lemonade was enjoyed, bricks were pur-

Special thanks to Patty Lovett and Jack Bowden who were so helpful; to everyone who provided the baked goodies; to the vendors who came early, stayed the whole time and to the purchasers who bought our “stuff.” Do you need some additional art work to make your home more attractive? We have just the right place for you to find it. The first art show

Designs by Teresa is not going out of business. Movies in the Park will show “Pirates of the Caribbean,” another fun and free movie at Eva Walker Park, starting at dusk on Friday, June 22. Attendance is open to the community, and families are encouraged to attend. Bring a blanket or chair. Drum and Strum, 102 Main St., is hosting a series of summer camps for young people ages 9-16. Beginning July 2-6, the first week-long event, The Camp of Traditional

American Music will explore music and songs handed down for generations. All acoustic instruments are welcome, including guitar, ukulele, banjo, bass, mandolin, violin and voice. Jack Dunlap is the instructor, and students will learn to play together and perform songs they can sing for a lifetime. The camp will be held Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A final performance will be held on Saturday, July 7, for friends and family. For registration information, call 540-347-7484.

and sale will be held at the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department on Sunday, June 24, from 4-6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Seven artists (five painters and two photographers) will be on board to share their work. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to the new building fund of OVFRD. Come, bring a friend to enjoy the show plus help our local volunteers. Thanks to our neighbor, Cody Leesor, for coming up with this great

idea to raise funds for the new building at OVFRD. Congratulations to Wyatt Shaw, Meredith Wayland, Marshall Graham and Colby Poe for their academic achievements during the past grading session at Marshall Middle School. Keep up the good work! We’re proud of you. Birthday wishes to Lily Yacubian, Rhonda Collins Jeck, LuAnn Huston, Matchan Takahashi, Katie Wolfe and Patrick Douglass. Have a wonderful time on your special day!

Passing of Roland Womack A very special local person and friend, Roland Womack, 81, passed recently. He will be rested for burial at the U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, on July 20, at 10 a.m. Roland was a regular at the Bealeton McDonalds for breakfast and regaled his stories of his past U.S. Navy service and current repair projects, involving autos, boats, campers, etc. One of his favorite sword-fencing movies to recall was the classic 1952 movie “Scaramouche” with Stewart Granger, Janet Leigh, Eleanor Parker and Mel Ferrer. According to Roland, the sword-fighting action scenes are the finest in fencing. This stylist adaptation of

JOE KORPSAK REMINGTON BEALETON OPAL 540-497-1413 joe.korpsak@yahoo.com Rafael Sabatini’s 1921 novel was set in the 18th century and Stewart Granger was a disguised leader of the French revolution. Roland, in addition to his distinguished U.S. Navy career was an expert swordsman/dualist/fencer. Farewell, Roland, and best remembrances from your many local friends and acquaintances.

Buried Root Collars All trees, even young ones, should exhibit a distinct, visible flare where the stem (trunk) joins the root system. If this flare is covered by soil or mulch, then disease, girdling roots and insect infestations are more likely to occur. How often have you seen a “volcano” of mulch around a tree stem, totally obscuring the root flare? If the root flare is buried, disorders will develop. The interruption of nutrient and water flow from the roots to the branches will lead to stunted growth and eventually the crown’s decline. Once the crown is affected, remedial treatments may be unsuccessful in keeping the tree alive. So, inspecting this critical region for disorders is important. Excavation of the buried root collar is a priority. This is one of the most common problems seen in landscapes every day.

If you’ve ever read something that was a little bit funny, a little bit weird, and generally left you wondering ‘what in the world did I just read?’ then you may have come across a quirky book. These unusual tales show up in a broad range of genres throughout fiction, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and even in non-fiction, and, true to their name, each one is a unique experience all its own. Some quirky reads are light-hearted and zany stories that propel the reader into the unlikeliest of places and situations. Douglas Adams’ books are great examples of this brand of quirky. Others, like the works of David Mitchell, can be downright bizarre featuring somewhat dark settings inhabited by eccentric, offbeat characters. Somewhere in between, readers might find tales from authors such as Neil Gaiman or Jasper Fforde that blend whimsy, humor and a strong sense of the peculiar. Below, in no particular order, are 10 of our favorites. • “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman • “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch” by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
