Citing alcoholism, Garrett drops re-election bid Staff Reports Rep. Tom Garrett, R-5th District, announced Monday that he won’t seek re-election this November, citing a problem with alcohol.

“Any person — Republican, Democrat or independent — who knows me for any period of time and has any integrity knows two things: I am a good man Rep. Tom Garrett and I’m an alcoholic,” Garrett said, according to news stories

Webert, Riggleman enter race to replace Garrett; Vogel won’t run.

Page 4 quoting from his video-taped statement.

Media reports last week said Garrett was considering not running, but on Friday he announced that he would.

News stories that broke that same day quoted unnamed former staff members as saying both the congressman and his wife had used staff to run personal errands and handle chores such as cleaning up after their dog. His chief of staff abruptly quit last week.

Garrett, an Army veteran and former

prosecutor and state senator, was elected to Congress in 2016, representing a district that includes most of Fauquier County.

He is a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, and as an incumbent, was the Republican Party’s nominee to face Democrat Leslie Cockburn of Rappahannock County. Cockburn, a former 60 Minutes and Frontline journalist, won her party’s nomination in a party caucus earlier this month.

The 5th District Republican Party Committee will now have choose a replacement candidate to face Cockburn and has a short timeline in which to do it. The Nov. 6 election is less than six months away.

As of Monday, 17 Democrats and 37 Republicans are not seeking re-election in their U.S. House districts, according to Ballotpedia.

Of the 37 Republicans: • 25 are retiring from public office • 7 are seeking a seat in the U.S. Senate • 5 are running for governor

Slow days are good days for school resource officers Walking the halls, they check doors, monitor mischief, exchange fist bumps

By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

A good work day for Fauquier County Sheriff’s Deputies Jeff Tindle or Art Culbertson is when nothing happens.

“If I can spend the whole day walking around, checking doors and saying ‘hi’ to people in the hallway, and that’s all I have to do all day, that’s a good day,” Tindle said.

Tindle and Culbertson are school resource officers assigned to patrol individual schools. They’re essentially officers who walk the education beat, making sure students and faculty are safe just like another officer might be assigned to a neighborhood in a big city.

And they walk. A lot. Tindle routinely logs 12,000 steps per day at Kettle Run High School, and Culbertson records even more than that at Auburn Middle School.

They check interior and exterior doors to make sure they’re locked and monitor inside and outside the school to ensure no one is on the grounds who isn’t supposed to be there.

PATH grant aims to improve access to broadband

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The PATH Foundation recently announced a grant of $90,000 to Fauquier County to improve broadband access for area residents.

The funds will support the county’s effort to work with a telecommunications tower construction company to develop six towers in the targeted areas of Botha, Saddle Ridge, Hume, Green Road, Zulla, Orlean and Rectortown.

The grant will assist with efforts to construct three of the proposed towers, amounting to a $30,000 incentive for each tower, according to a PATH news release.

According to the foundation, thousands of Fauquier County residents have poor or no access to broadband and/or wireless phone service, resulting in reduced access to telehealth services, educational opportunities for students, telecommuting for residents and more.

“Our staff and board of directors are pleased to partner with Fauquier County in this effort to improve broadband access to area residents who have no, or painfully slow, broadband service,” said Christy Connolly, president/CEO of PATH Foundation.

The PATH Foundation awards grants in Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper counties to nonprofits and government agencies.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC., TO AMEND AND EXTEND ITS NATURAL GAS CONSERVATION AND RATEMAKING EFFICIENCY PLAN CASE NO. PUR-2018-00057 On April 20, 2018, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application (“Application”) for authorization to amend and extend its Conservation and Ratemaking Efficiency Plan (“CARE Plan”) pursuant to Chapter 25 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia. According to the Company, its current CARE Plan includes a portfolio of programs that promote conservation and energy efficiency among CVA’s residential and applicable small general service customer classes and a decoupling mechanism that adjusts actual non-gas distribution revenues per customer to the allowed distribution revenues previously approved by the Commission. In its Application, the Company proposes to extend its CARE Plan, along with certain modifications and amendments, for an additional five-year period, through December 31, 2023 (“Amended CARE Plan”).

The proposed Amended CARE Plan would only be available to residential customers and includes three conservation and energy efficiency programs, with 16 measures. Specifically, the Company requests approval to extend the following three conservation and energy efficiency programs, with certain modifications, for an additional five-year period: (1) Web-Based Home Audit Program; (2) Home Savings Program; and (3) Residential Low-Income and Elderly Program.

The Company expects to invest $3.7 million over the five years of the Amended CARE Plan. According to the Company, the proposed Amended CARE Plan is designed to recover the incremental costs associated with its conservation and energy efficiency programs, as incurred, by means of a surcharge mechanism described in Section 12.4 of the Company’s General Terms and Conditions (the CARE Program Adjustment (“CPA”)). The Company estimates that the proposed Amended CARE Plan’s CPA will cost the average residential customer approximately $3.29 in 2019. In its Application, CVA requests authority to implement the CPA effective with the first billing unit for the Company’s January 2019 billing cycle (i.e., December 31, 2018). The Company’s proposed Amended CARE Plan also includes a performance-based incentive mechanism and a decoupling mechanism.

The details of these and other proposals are set forth in the Company’s Application. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Company’s Application and supporting testimony and exhibits for the details of these proposals.

Slow days are good days for school resource officers SROs from page 1

On other days at the school of more than 1,200 students, he might answer teachers’ questions or talk to a driver’s education or government class.

Sometimes, even parents call the school to seek his advice. They might say, “I can’t control my child. What do you recommend?”

Generally, he’s there, as his job title suggests, to be a resource for students and faculty.

Schools boost security

Tindle and Culbertson are two of Fauquier schools’ eight school resource officers, all of whom are sworn law-enforcement officers assigned to the county’s three high schools and five middle schools.

Like schools divisions around the country, Fauquier will add more security guards next year, partly in response to a rash of school shootings around “The main the country. goal is for Fauquier County will them to know add three more SROs and 13 civilian security guards that I’m here so that all 20 Fauquier to help them public schools will have and keep armed guards on their campuses when school be- them safe” gins next fall.

FAUQUIER COUNTY A recent change in VirSHERIFF’S DEPUTY ginia law allows school JEFF TINDLE divisions to hire retired or School resource officer former law-enforcement officers with specialized training to work as armed guards in schools.

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Department is handling the hiring and the training of the guards.

Sheriff Bob Mosier said his department has begun the work of vetting and checking applicants’ backgrounds to ensure they have the right temperament, experience and training to work in county schools.

Auburn Middle School School Resource Officer (SRO) Art Culbertson, above, gives a fist bump to student Hayes Talomie.

Culbertson’s car, left, is always parked prominently in front of the school building so it can be seen by anyone approaching the school.

‘I’m here to help them and keep them safe’

The job can get intense at times. Tindle said he’s had to deal with some student fights over the years, as well as students who have brought weapons to school.

But he said the worst situations for him are students who find themselves in mental-health crises.

“Those are hard to deal with,” he said, noting students threatening or attempting suicide as some of the most difficult cases.

School-resource officers and other authorities also try to act immediately when there’s a threat to students or misbehavior over social media, Tindle said.

Some students grouse about having a law-enforcement officer in school, but Tindle said that most kids are pretty positive about his presence.

Some have even confided in him when they have problems at home.

“The main goal is for them to know that I’m here to help them and keep them safe,” he said.

Tindle said that students didn’t have much to say about the recent school shooting in Texas, but he said that he emphasizes a “see something, say something” environment at the school and that

PHOTOS BY RANDY LITZINGER students are usually good about following that direction and reporting anything unusual.

Kettle Run Principal Meaghan Brill said Tindle really makes connections with students, and the school is grateful for that.

“The students know him, they come to him and ask him questions,” Brill said. “They’re comfortable working with him.”

Culbertson, 59, also has made connections with students at his school, Auburn Middle.

He said when a loved one had surgery, four boys from the school visited his home to see if he was OK. “And that really made me feel that I was of some value at that point when they did that, and I was quite excited to have them come by and make sure I was OK for once,” he said. “That made me feel really special.”

Two students interviewed Thursday also had high marks for Culbertson.

“He’s always positive, and I feel safe when he’s walking around,” said 12-year-old Hayes Talomie, a seventh-grader.

Ditto for Alex Fahey, 14, who said she feels really protected with Culbertson in the building.

“He just has a smile on his face whenever he sees anyone,” the eighth-grader said.

Culbertson is in his first school year at Auburn.

He was at Warrenton Middle School before that.

He said the job of a school-resource officer provides security but also a way for law-enforcers to reach out to children and form relationships with them.

“To me it’s a very valuable position in light of all the recent tragedies that have been happening in our schools across the country,” said Culbertson, who also oversees the fifth-grade safety patrol program in the county’s elementary schools.

Fauquier’s state delegates still divided on Medicaid Lawmakers discuss state budget impasse at chamber event

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

State legislators who represent Fauquier remain divided along party lines over whether the state should expand Medicaid to cover an estimated 300,000 low-income, non-disabled Virginians.

Republican Dels. Mark Cole and Michael Webert cited concerns about costs while Del. Elizabeth Guzman, a Democrat, said the millions the federal program will bring to the state would create thousands of jobs while providing health care to low-income Virginians who have no access to health insurance.

The three discussed their positions on the Medicaid expansion Thursday, May 24, during the annual Fauquier County Chamber of Commerce legislative wrap-up breakfast at Airlie Conference Center in Warrenton.

The Senate Finance Committee is expected to resume meetings this week to consider a budget plan proposed by pro-Medicaid expansion Republicans in the House and Senate. Action by the full Senate would come next.

Because state Sen. Jill Vogel is

a member of the Senate Finance Committee, there’s been much speculation about whether she will join fellow Republican state Sens.

Emmett Hanger (24th) and Frank Wagner (7th) to support Medicaid expansion.

But Vogel, R-27th, did not attend the chamber breakfast, telling organizers she had to travel to New York the night before and would be unable to make it.

Vogel has voted against Medicaid expansion in the past. On Facebook, Vogel recently said there should be reforms if Medicaid expansion moves forward, including monitoring to guard against fraud, accountability, work requirements for recipients and a framework to help the most needy.

Vogel has so far not returned requests for comment on her position from The Fauquier Times.

During the discussion, Guzman, D-31st, said the infusion of federal money to expand Medicaid would create 30,000 health care jobs, add beds in mental health facilities and expand substance abuse and at-risk youth programs.

Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government pays 90 percent of the state’s cost to provide Medicaid coverage to those making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $17,000 for an individual and $33,000 for a family of four.

Expanding Medicaid would allow Virginia to reduce spending on care

for uninsured people and use the money elsewhere, Guzman said.

Cole, R-88th, said he has been resigned to an expansion of the federal health insurance program for the needy since Republicans nearly lost control of the state House of Delegates last year.

“I knew Medicaid expansion was coming after the last election,” Cole said, referring to last November, when Democrats won 15 seats in the state’s lower chamber, leaving Republicans narrowly in control with 51 seats to the Democrats’ 49.

But, Cole said, Medicaid already serves the disabled, children and seniors. An expansion would essentially be “a welfare program for the able-bodied.”

“I do not support it. I think it is a bad idea,” said Cole, who represents a portion of southern Fauquier.

“Washington doesn’t have the money. It’s going to increase the budget deficit to send the money to Richmond.”

Cole further predicted a new tax on Virginia hospitals — proposed to fund the state’s share of Medicaid expansion — will result in higher health care costs.

“I think that’s wrong to do when we’re trying to lower costs,” Cole said.

It was Virginia hospitals, however, that first proposed the extra “providers’ assessment” back in 2015 to help move the Medicaid impasse forward. Virginia’s Hospital and Healthcare Association, a trade

group for the state’s hospitals, supports Medicaid expansion as a way to boost federal reimbursements for indigent care.

Webert, R-18th, said he believes there are people who could receive Medicaid under the current system but haven’t applied.

“This is not our money we’re taking. We’re taking it from people who are not even born,” Webert said, referring to a financial cost of expanding the program that he expects will fall on the next generation.

“Fiscally, I think we’ve been one of the best-run states. Now, I think we’ll be moving away from that,” Webert said.

Guzman said people are dying for lack of health insurance or are working two or three jobs to pay for it.

The three state delegates also used the breakfast to discuss bills they introduced this year. Webert got a bill passed to reduce regulatory requirements, starting with a pilot program in the area of professional and occupational licensing.

He also introduced a bill that was signed into law on horse-track betting that he said would be a boon to the Gold Cup and other equine events.

Guzman said she introduced legislation providing speedier compensatory payments to those ruled to have been wrongfully incarcerated as well as a bill to provide sales tax revenue to mass-transit systems.

Webert, Riggleman enter race to replace Garrett; Vogel won’t run

By James Ivancic and Leland Schwartz

IT IS YOUR DECISION Funeral prearrangement is a two-step process that involves making funeral arrangements as outlined in the preneed contract, followed by a discussion of the funding. During the first phase, a discussion will take place of services such as embalming and other preparations, providing funeral vehicles and transportation services, the funeral ceremony, and facilities for visitation. Decisions will also have to be made concerning the selection of a casket/urn, outer burial container, and other merchandise such as flowers, acknowledgment cards, and transfer containers. Finally, cost considerations may be finalized through life insurance, bank trust agreement, or other method.

It is possible to select funeral goods and services without pre-funding the funeral, but cash-advance items and services may require reimbursement.

Planning their own funeral is not something that most people like to think about. Pre-arrangement allows you to make your final arrangements at your own pace, at a time when you feel calm, healthy, and rational. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.

We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

“We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.” ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Times Staff Writers

In the hours since U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett bowed out of his re-election campaign Monday, citing his struggle with alcoholism, two high-profile Republicans have jumped in the race: state Del. Michael Webert and former gubernatorial candidate Denver Riggleman.

Riggleman, who owns the Silverback Distillery outside Charlottesville, rebooted his catchy 2017 campaign hashtag #WhiskeyRebellion at about 11 p.m. Monday night, promising to bring an outsider’s perspective to Washington.

Riggleman also pledged to support President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“As we have all seen over the past few years, it takes a real outsider with real world experience to drag the swamp monsters to dry land,” Riggleman wrote. “As a veteran and small business owner, I am perfectly suited for that task.”

Then, on Tuesday morning, Webert declared he, too, would seek the GOP nomination. Webert, R-18th, made the announcement during an interview this morning on the John Fredericks radio show.

“Yes, I’m putting my name in the hat,” said Webert, citing successes he’s had in the Virginia General

Assembly on regulatory reform, reciprocity for concealed carry of firearms, protecting home-based businesses and his opposition to Medicaid expansion as the track record he’ll run on.

“Business and regulatory reform are a passion of mine,” Webert told Fredericks.

Webert runs a farm in Marshall.

He was re-elected last November to a fourth two-year term. The 18th District includes parts of Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren counties and all of Rappahannock County.

Webert first hinted he was considering getting into the race in tweet Monday night.

“Thank you to everyone that has reached out to me over the past few hours. I am closely monitoring the situation in the 5th District and prayerfully considering my next steps in this process. I look forward to speaking with the committee members in the coming days,” he tweeted.

Meanwhile, state Sen. Jill Vogel, also thought to be a possible candidate for the nomination, dismissed the idea Tuesday, saying in a text message she has no plans to run.

“I am also sorry for him,” Vogel wrote of Garrett, “and not running!!!”

Riggleman, an Air Force veteran, dropped out of the GOP primary campaign for governor last year.

In his statement, Riggleman thanked Garrett for his service.

“I would like to thank Rep. Tom Garrett for his many years of public service as a congressman, state senator and commonwealth’s attorney,” he wrote. “He and I have become close friends ever since I first signed up to be a delegate for him at the 2016 5th District Convention.

“Christine and I are sending prayers and best wishes to Tom and his family during this difficult time,” he continued. “Tom is a man of courage and a conviction, I look forward to continuing his pristine conservative voting record in DC.” The GOP’s 5th District Congressional Committee choose a replacement candidate soon. The party has until 7 p.m. June 12 to get a nominee on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election, according to Andrea Gaines, director of community relations for the Virginia Department of Elections.

The 5th District includes all but four of Fauquier County’s 20 voting precincts and stretches from Fauquier County to the North Carolina line.

The nominee will face Democrat Leslie Cockburn, a former television journalist whose work appeared on “60 Minutes” and “Frontline.” She won the Democratic nomination earlier this month in a party convention.

Cockburn lives in Rappahannock County.

Remington budget keeps tax rates flat

DISCOUNTS AT THIS STORE ONLY:

WARRENTON Warrenton Village Center 141 West Lee Highway

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Remington Town Council unanimously approved a new budget that maintains the town’s current tax rates and aims to provide employees a 3-percent raise, although rising health insurance rates could cut into that increase.

That’s according to Town Councilman Stan Heaney, who chairs the council’s finance committee. He said town staff members might not realize the full raise in their paychecks.

“I don’t believe we’ll be giving 3 [percent] because of other costs.

[Health] insurance rates are going up,” Heaney said.

The council voted May 21 on the budget for fiscal year 2019, which begins July 1. The vote followed a public hearing the week before that drew no speakers.

The budget anticipates $833,386.75 in revenue with $766,087.17 in expenditures.

The real estate tax rate will stay at .125 per $100 of valuation. The personal property tax rate won’t change from the current $1.10 per $100 of valuation.

The water fund has $377,165 in the new budget and includes funds for maintenance.

“There is always going to be something. It’s more or less a matter of timing with the contractors,” Heaney said.

The wells that provide the water have to be drained but that can’t be done during the summer when water usage is higher.

The town budgeted $88,047.75 for the Department of Motor Vehicles. A DMV Select office has space in the town hall.

The town owns a cemetery, and $16,600 is budgeted in the cemetery fund in the new budget. There is a separate cemetery trust fund with $15,045 in revenue expected during the next fiscal year along with $8,500 in expenditures.

Town offices were moved last December into a new town hall built a few doors down on Main Street from the old town hall. Town officials will be selling that building. Heaney said, but first, historical records must be moved from the bank safe in the old building, which served as a bank before it became the town hall. The town is working with the state to have the records copied. The former town hall will then be marketed for sale.

Town council members elected May 1 will take the oath of office from Clerk of Courts Gail Barb at the June 18 regular meeting.

The terms of all those elected begin July 1.

Haymarket delays decision on new townhomes, restaurants

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Haymarket Planning Commission will take more time to consider a proposed mixed-use development that would include 79 townhomes, offices, a bank and three restaurants, each with drive-thrus.

Haymarket Development #1, LLC has proposed the new development, dubbed Crossroads Village Center, on property close to Interstate 66, U.S. 15 and John Marshall Highway. In addition to the townhomes and restaurants, the plans call for an auto-repair shop and a hotel or assisted-living facility on land zoned B-2, or business commercial.

The plans for Crossroads Village Center were outlined during a joint meeting of town council and the planning commission May 21 that included a public hearing.

Toward its conclusion, the planning commission approved a resolution to act on an underlying rezoning request within 60 days instead of the initial 30-day deadline.

Vice Mayor Joe Pasanello voted against the resolutions, saying he felt the commission should take as much time as it needs before making a recommendation to the town council. The Haymarket Town Council will have the final say on the rezon-

ing.

Concerns were expressed during the public hearing about the three restaurant drive-thrus and whether they would be in keeping with the “walkable” community concept the town espouses.

“They’ll be using Haymarket as a pit stop,” and pedestrians will have to dodge traffic, said one speaker.

Jim and Andrea Payne, owners of A Dog’s Day Out, a dog-care center coming to a site on Fayette Street, said they were in favor of the mixed-use plan, saying the tenants would provide needed services and additional tax revenue for the town.

The development site is just west of Giuseppe’s Restaurant on land known to longtime residents as the “fairgrounds” property. Chick-fil-A, The Fauquier Bank and CVS have been built in recent years on land fronting John Marshall Highway. They would be neighbors to the new development.

The developer needs the town council to approve a rezoning of the nearly 10-acre portion of the property to build the 79 townhomes. Special-use permits are needed for the drive-thrus, the auto service shop and for the hotel or assisted living facility. The latter building would exceed a 50-foot height limit but could not be more than 75 feet tall.

It would be the tallest building in Haymarket, ac-

cording to a review of the application submitted by town planner Emily Lockhart.

Lockhart recommended the town council approve the rezoning requests. She noted the plan would have commercial tenants facing John Marshall Highway, also known as Washington Street, and the townhouses would generate less vehicle traffic than commercial occupants.

Approval of the drive-thrus should be contingent on submittal of a traffic flow management plan, she said.

The auto repair shop raises some concerns about parking, exterior conditions and traffic flow, which she said can be addressed during the site plan phase.

The developer is proffering $813,000 to the school division and $300,000 for transportation improvements that would include a turning lane, traffic signal and crosswalk on Washington Street.

Haymarket Elementary School would be the school attended by children living in the new townhomes.

The plans will also have to be reviewed by the town’s architectural review board.

The Meladon Group of Chantilly is developing the property for Haymarket Development #1 LLC. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

J. Randolph Embrey, founder of Rectortown Farm Museum, dies at 87

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Devoted historian, beloved citizen, former Marine and lifelong Fauquier County resident John Randolph Embrey died Tuesday, May 22. He was 87.

Born December 18, 1930, in Rectortown, Embrey, fondly known as “J. Randolph,” was the son of John William Embrey and Fannie Huff Embrey. He was a veteran of the U.S. J. Randolph Marine Corps, Embrey serving in Korea.

He was awarded the Purple Heart after being wounded in combat.

Embrey was a builder and drywall contractor in the area for many years. He was a member of American Legion Post 295 in Middleburg for more than 50 years; a member of the Disabled American Veterans; and

of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

As a local historian, he is best known for creating the Rectortown Farm Museum, which features Embrey’s extensive collection of antique farm equipment and agricultural tools.

Embrey began his museum project to display antique farm equipment and Civil War memorabilia in two buildings along Maidstone Road, which he purchased 18 years ago at auction.

Known to locals as the Northern Virginia Farm Center, it was also an International Harvester center. Embrey’s project grew into an eclectic collection of antique farm equipment.

Embrey also kept the circa 1835 structure adjacent to the railroad tracks known as Rector’s Warehouse.

Over the years, the building served as a general store, telegraph office and post office. A plaque outside identifies it as a Civil War jail, and bullet holes and old messages scrawled on the walls inside appear to confirm it.

More than 20 trains each day pass the white-stucco and wood-frame building,

which has touches of dark-green trim.

“The Manassas Gap Railroad was built along here in 1852,” Embrey said in a February 2017 interview with The Fauquier Times. “It’s the only track built by farmers.”

The complete line from Manassas Junction to Mount Jackson is 87 miles, built between 1851 and completed by 1959, with many interruptions.

The farm relics Embrey displayed in his museum included ice cutters and tractor seats, which Embrey said are “big collectors’ items.”

There are old wrenches of all sizes. A rope conveyor belt, probably from Winchester, has holes and was used to grade the size of apples.

There is a lard pot and even an old case of embalming fluid.

Embrey had been collecting for more than a quarter of a century, frequently attending sales auctions up and down the Shenandoah Valley. He often bought in large lots and among his many purchases were a shovel plow and a two-seat A. C. Evans corn planter with iron wheels.

It took one person to drive the tractor and the other to drop the seed.

There’s a tobacco grinder, plow horse harnesses and corn sheller. A vast assortment of paper memorabilia include an old gas station poster with gas going for 17.9 cents per gallon and an auction notice from 1849 that would not pass social correctness these days.

J. Randolph Embrey is survived by his wife of 58 years, Shirley Cameron Embrey, daughter Susan Embrey Haley and son Randy Embrey, all of Marshall.

He has five grandchildren: Brandon Haley, Jeffrey Heflin, Lauren Haley, Ezra Embrey and Caroline Haley and a great-grandson, Grayer Callahan.

There is no immediate word on the future of the museum.

A gathering of family and friends was held on Saturday, May 26 at Royston Funeral Home in Marshall. A funeral service immediately followed.

Memorial contributions can be made to Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758516, Topeka, Kansas 66675.

OBITUARIES Doris Elaine Jones Doris Elaine Jones was born just outside St. Joseph, Missouri on March 12, 1927 to Arthur L. and Maude Kelsey. After an active and full 91 years she slipped away on Tuesday May 22, 2018 surrounded by her family.

After graduating from Helena High school she worked for the Cherry Smash Candy Company in St. Joseph before meeting and marrying Thomas E. Jones of Alexandria, Virginia, who was stationed there with the army.

After discharge the couple moved to Annandale, Virginia and then Arcola, Virginia where she raised their two children Tommy Lee and Karen Sue before moving to Warrenton in 1965 where she resided at her time of passing.

She worked for over 29 years for the Grand Union Grocery chain retiring when they closed the areas stores but retiring was not her style.

She loved all horse sports, and worked her schedule to accommodate traveling to horse shows that the family was competing in and always using those trips as learning experiences for the kids and an opportunity for her to learn about her adopted home state.

Slack times at the horse shows in the Shenandoah Valley meant trips to civil war battlefields, historic houses and the many caverns that lay along the Blue Ridge. If near the shore we were going to the beach, she loved the beach.

When the family business changed to flat racing, steeplechasing and foxhunting she split her time between Charlestown, Maryland, Delaware and the race courses around Virginia. Her pre-Christmas hunt breakfast was an important date on the Casanova calendar. She managed to squeeze in time for several trips with her friend Perney Callahan to Europe as chaperones for Perney’s students as well as several cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean.

She was a demon on the lawnmower, worked her flower beds and loved her swimming pool, churned ice cream, made the best bread and butter pickles and always had her magic tapioca pudding whenever anyone was feeling low.

She ran the general admission gate at the Upperville Colt and Horse Show for over 25 years and was the beer lady for the Fauquier S.P.C.A. at the Warrenton Horse Show for nearly as long before stepping away from both last year. She was always ready for a card game, bingo or a quick trip to play the slots.

She is survived by her brother Bill Kelsey and wife Delores of St. Louis, MO, son Tommy Lee Jones, his wife Diane, Casanova, daughter Karen Sue Settle and husband Gary, Locust Grove. Grandchildren Jason Jones, Beth Kearns, Teresa Hitt, and Michelle MacArthur, four great-grand children and three great-great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and many, many dear friends.

There will be a memorial later this summer. In lieu of flowers please send remembrances to Fauquier S.P.C.A. (FauquierSPCA.com) or the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund (pdjf.org).

A celebration of her life will be held sometime this summer.

She resided in Pennsylvania at the time of her death. She leaves to mourn six children, Dathie Washington, Carroll Pendleton Jr., Geraldine Pendleton, Lura Gilbert, Richard Pendleton and Charles Pendleton; two brothers, Douglas Marshall Jr. and Leonard Marshall; ten grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Gainesville / Prince William Times | May 30, 2018

Why it’s important to democracy to read this in print There are two things you need to know about newspapers.

Newspapers are important to community life and democracy. Always have been. We at the National Newspaper Association think it is important for all sorts of newspapers to survive for the sake of a free society—the very large and the very small ones, the liberal ones, the conservative ones, the middle-of-the-road ones, the ones with no viewpoint but just important news, all of them.

Some are our members. Many are not. We defend them anyway. America needs them like we need oxygen.

The second is that even if your newspaper seems to be “online,” the digital copy that you may count on probably couldn’t exist if there weren’t a printed newspaper behind it. The newspaper in GUEST print supports all of the other OPINION versions economically. So, if the printed version disapBY SUSAN peared, you can’t assume all ROWELL would be well because it is online anyway. It won’t be.

These facts are important because the paper your newspaper is printed on is under attack.

One small paper mill in Washington is trying to use the federal trade and tariff laws to make this paper—newsprint, or uncoated groundwood paper, in paper parlance—about 50 percent more expensive. This mill has complained to the U.S. Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission about international competition. If it succeeds, the prices of newspaper printing will skyrocket. The resources available for everything else your local newspaper may need or want to do for you will be strangled.

Canadian paper producers have supplied the U.S. for many years. They have some natural advantages over U.S. papermakers because of hydroelectric power and shipping costs. More than a dozen U.S. mills have stopped making newsprint in the last decade because demand for paper has declined.

Today, even if Canadian paper disappeared because of high tariffs being proposed to the federal government, the U.S. paper mills could not supply newspapers with the paper they need.

Mills cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build and can take many years to be safely situated in compliance with environmental rules. With demand falling, no one is going to invest in a massive expansion of U.S. newsprint. Over the short term, tariffs could force the price of paper up and the New York investors who own the Washington State mill could gain.

But our country will lose. Fragile newspapers will vanish. Challenged newspapers will have to cut back. Even healthy newspapers are going to have to find ways to absorb a daunting new cost.

And who will pay? Everyone who relies on a newspaper to tell the local stories, cover elections, advertise sales, get pictures of the winning touchdown and cheer the local economic development people for their work to create new jobs.

That worries me. If it worries you, pay a visit www.stopnewsprinttariffs.org and be informed.

Rowell is president of the National Newspaper Association.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES Memorial Day 1944 was observed in the Warrenton Cemetery, with a firing squad comprised of members of Co. 111, the Virginia Protective Force under the command of Capt. Laurence Bartenstein (far left) participating.

75 Years Ago June 3, 1943 Second Lieutenant L.L. Hutchison of the Warrenton Rifles, Co. 111, V.P.F., has been promoted to the rank of first lieutenant, and Sgt. James F. Austin has received his promotion to second lieutenant in the company, Capt. L. R. Bartenstein announced this week.

Wallace N. Tiffany, attorney, former mayor of Warrenton and candidate for commonwealth’s attorney, will head the Warrenton Lions Club for the ensuing year. He will succeed Dr. Frank Folk.

The Upperville Horse Show is indefinitely postponed, the show committee decided Friday. The ban on pleasure driving, which would prohibit horses being vanned to the show grounds, as well as spectators arriving by car, was responsible for the decision. The show may be held later in the summer.

50 Years Ago June 6, 1968 Charles B. Foley and Frank S. Foley, twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. L.J. Foley, and James L. Dellinger Jr., son of Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Dellinger, all of Warrenton, received degrees in University of Richmond commencement exercises on June 2.

Wasena S. Wooten, 28, a teacher at Taylor High School, Warrenton, for seven years, has been awarded a $6,200 fellowship to North Carolina College to study educational media.

Lance Cpl. Kenneth C. Poe, 22, son of

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Poe of Hume, was assigned May 22 to the 5th Communications Battalion, FMF, and Communications Company Radio Platoon in Da Nang, Vietnam. He entered the Marine Corps in January 1967.

Cpl. Johnny McGowan, USMC, grandson of Mrs. Cora McGowan of Catlett, has returned from Vietnam after a year’s duty.

A kickline will open the Honey Lou School of Dance Production of “It’s a Small, Small World” for Showtime 1968 at Fauquier High School on June 12. The kickline will perform the curtain opening number,” A Wonderful Night Like Tonight.”

25 Years Ago June 2, 1993 Warrenton remembered its fallen military personnel at the annual Memorial Day observance in the Warrenton Cemetery. A wreath was laid at the flagpole by veterans James Butler, Arney Johnson and Foster Moore.

Winners of the children’s reading program coloring contest, held at the Bealeton branch of the public library, included Andy Stanton, Bethany Hatcher, Jonathan Stanton, Kristen Puchetti, Chris Graves, and Jeremy Graves. Guest reader at the event was John Cheatwood.

As the 1993 Kentucky Derby Winner, Paul Mellon’s Sea Hero continues to cause quite a stir in the Upperville community in which he was bred and raised, as well as the larger Virginia horse community.

Local actors deserve as much coverage as athletes I had the wonderful, if sating, experience of seeing three Broadway musicals this weekend in Warrenton.

A retired teacher of drama, director and artistic director for 45 years, I came to this area not expecting much in the way of live drama but to my amazement, the talent in this area is quite amazing from the elementary school level, through high school and into community theater.

What is so disheartening is the lack of coverage the Fauquier Times gives to these endeavors. They manage to fill up pages of local sporting

events each week but can’t seem to find space for a single weekend of high school theater, with no reviews or follow-ups of Fauquier Theatre’s “Big Fish” and not even a mention of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” or “Beauty and the Beast.” All three of these productions are exceptional in their own ways and deserve getting the community to be aware of them, and not just the friend and relatives of the performers. I only knew of them by passing by Great Harvest’s window display of local posters.

Farewell to a native son The Fauquier community has lost a good citizen, and we have lost a friend. Billy Jenkins loved his family and his community. For 40 years he was a volunteer with the Orlean Volunteer Fire Department. He was a self-taught and superb mechanic who ran his own business, and he was a man of strong convictions. Billy also had a wonderful sense of humor. It was just at this time of year, when or fields filled with high waving grasses and the sweet song of meadowlarks that Billy would come to our farm to do the bushhogging. He did this job for over a decade. He would arrive punctually in the morning with his immaculately kept truck and his meticulously kept tractor and calmly begin his mowing. He would be there all day. We would go about our day knowing that with Billy mowing the fields all was right with the world.

He knew the lay of our land so well he could have mowed by a sliver of moonlight. Knowing that he loved bluegrass music, I asked him once what songs he listened to when he was mowing. He said, “no music…

I just like to feel the tractor under me and getting the roll of the land.” He also said he liked to mow with the cattle and horses left in the fields because it pleased him that they trusted him and just kept grazing while he

went by them carefully mowing his lines. By the time Billy finished his calm and deliberate bushhogging at the end of the afternoon, he had transformed the pastures into a beautiful work of art. He also took care of our land. Each time he bushhogged he would mow in a different pattern so the grasses would stay healthy. We never asked him to do this, he just always wanted to do his best work and he naturally respected the land. Billy also had a gift of being approachable.

When you spoke with him you felt at ease. You knew here was a man that was comfortable in his skin. He knew where he came from, where he stood, and what really mattered. He had a boyish quality about him that made him seem so much younger that his years. That’s where his motorcycle came into the picture. He was just the guy you would want there with you if you needed a first responder on the scene. Billy was a good man, and a kind man, and he took pride in his work and loved his part of the world.

He was the rarest of men these days.

We were honored to know Billy, and we will miss him. To us Billy was the everyday hero.

Peter and Alexandra Semmes Hansen Warrenton

On Friday evening, I saw Fauquier High School’s “Seven Brides…” and was awed by the incredible dancing of these high school students and the voices of the two leads. What was disappointing was that their giant-sized theatre had barely a handful of patrons. There seemed to be no promotion beyond a poster to get the community to see this marvelous display of talent.

On Saturday, I attended Liberty High School’s “Beauty and the Beast” and heard a huge student orchestra beautifully accompany a very moving production with many gifted performers. The crowd seemed a little larger, perhaps because the cast was so big, but there were still plenty of seats for this fast-moving, well-paced show with well-cast students and stand out performances

by Belle, the Wardrobe opera singer, and Lumière, to name but a few.

On Sunday, I had the joy of seeing “Big Fish,” a relatively new musical, which was moving beyond belief.

A story of Rev. Ronald Stephens father and son relationship, it was able to move everyone around me.

The cast was exceptional and as good as professional. Because they have a budget, there was a little more advertising, but the Fauquier Times certainly didn’t help that first weekend and there were still lots of open seats.

A few weeks ago I saw elementary students perform “The Lion King, Jr.” at Richie Elementary and once again, could hardly believe the talent in students so young and the dedication of the music and drama teachers in working with them to produce such work.

Please, Fauquier Times, devote some space to these groups to encourage their growth and our enjoyment! Encouraging the arts is just as important as encouraging the athletes.

On June 12, we should all vote for Nick Frietas.

Our present senator, Tim Kaine, has constantly voted against our Constitution. Our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution guarantee us the right to life, liberty and happiness.

The media has mistakenly la-

beled the “right to life” as the right to “choice.”

God gives life and America has guaranteed this right.

Please vote for Republican rightto-life and state Sen. Nick Frietas on June 12.

Welcome to Old House Vineyards, Distillery and Brewery

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Ryan Kearney is the general manager of his family’s Old House Vineyards in Culpeper. Now in its 20th year, the business includes a vineyard, a distillery and a brewery.

“It’s a trifecta,” he said, referring to the racetrack gambling term for picking the top three horses, all in order.

“All the ingredients, such as grapes, barley and wheat are grown here.”

A 2013 University of Virginia graduate, Kearney, 27, first went to work in Washington and decided: “I didn’t like the commute, and decided I liked being outdoors versus being at a desk.”

His parents, Patrick and Allyson Kearney, purchased an abandoned 75-acre alfalfa hay farm in 1998 in Culpeper County and had been commuting there from their home in Fairfax. Patrick Kearney works fulltime as a museum fabrication expert and is a visionary and building guru.

Last year he installed “Amending America” at the National Archives.

Ryan’s mother, Allyson Kearney, coordinates tasting room events and weddings. The family, which includes a younger brother and older sister, moved to the farm/vineyard full-time in 2003. What began as a weekend retreat is now a full-service destination of 165 acres.

Patrick Kearney continues his work-related travels with projects in Greensboro for the Atlantic Coast

Old House newest vodka, DUDE SPIRIT, is made from grapes and comes with a personalized dog tag.

Conference Hall of Champions and other museums around the country.

He has also imbued the distillery tasting rooms with a World War II atmosphere.

Old House Vineyards has 30 acres of vines producing 11 wines. Winemaker Christopher Harris works full-time creating Vidal Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Wicked Bottom – a red barrel-aged Chambourcin Reserve – and Clover Hill, a crisp white good with shellfish.

They also produce Rose’s Rosé; Bacchanalia; a Virginia sparkling wine called Péittante; and Arctica, a dessert wine created frozen,

post-harvest, and a Chambourcin dessert wine. It’s a blended port-style French inspired by hybrid grapes and fortified by adding brandy. It’s aged in oak bourbon barrels and is 145 proof after sitting in those barrels for two years.

“There are two types of winemakers,” Ryan Kearney says. “French inspired and those who are inspired

by Virginia. The others are individuals who started from scratch and learn it as they go.”

As for his possible future as an oenologist, he added: “I’m an average reader, and I feel that I can continue learning as we go along . We have a wonderful network.”

In 2015, the Kearney family opened a distillery. This is where visitors will see the World War II installation and experience Dude Spirit, a vodka made from grapes. We might also mention a mean rendition of the recently released Limoncello.

Welcome to Old House Vineyards, Distillery and Brewery OLD HOUSE, from Page 11 “It’s easier on the visitors for tasting as opposed to something that’s maybe 8 to 9 percent alcohol content,” Ryan Kearney said.

As he concluded a chat about

his family businesses, he added that while Culpeper might seem off the beaten track of vineyards, he thinks it has a nice balance of a small-town atmosphere with a gentle touch of tourism wrapped around it.

“They have not resisted change, but it’s not quite a suburb of D.C.,” he said. “There’s always something new and exciting happening at Old House, but the feeling of being home is always here.”

Indeed, welcome home.

Wine-making at Old House Harvest is done in early September to late October as each of the varieties of grapes ripens.

The grapes are picked in the cool of the morning, placed into 25-pound lugs and brought to the winery.

The crushing and de-stemming is the first step of the pressing process.

The crushed fruit falls down into the press or fermenter, depending on the type of wine being made.

The white wine pressing process is very gentle, as it is important to keep the skins from breaking down

too much. The goal is to separate the juice from the skins without adding any more solids to the juice.

The juice is allowed to settle in a tank, and the sediment is racked off into a vessel for fermentation.

“Racking” is the term for sucking the clean wine off of the sediment or lees on the bottom of the vessel. The wine is transferred into a clean vessel and the lees is left behind in the old one.

Lees is filtered and kept separate or thrown away. Sometimes the filtered lees can be very good and can add another component to a wine.

Other times it can be hard or unpalatable and will be thrown away.

With red wine, the grapes are crushed into a bin and fermentation begins. The skins of the red grape are very important in red wine. They have all of the color and a lot of the hearty character that defines a red wine.

The cap of a red fermenter is the grape skins that float to the top of the vat. These skins catch CO2 that is released from fermentation.

The regimental rows at Old House Vineyards create a memorable vision.

“Punching down” is done with a stick or paddle to get the cap back into the wine. This process is performed 2-3 time a day during the fermentation process.

To press off the grape skins after fermentation, the juice is pumped out of the bin and the skins are shoveled into the press. The pressing is similar to the whites in that pressing gently is better for the wine.

After a couple of days of settling, the wine is racked into oak wine barrels.

The barrels we use are a combination of both new and older oak. We use French, American and Hungarian oak barrels to make our wines.

Each gives the wine a slightly different character.

Overcoming scars and rebuilding confidence

By Gabriela Tobar Contributing Writer

In 2012, Brianna Burch, of Gainesville, came down with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, an illness marked by blisters and high fevers that left her immune system compromised and her skin sensitive to the sun.

Now a student at Virginia Tech, Burch is sharing her story to raise awareness about Stevens-Johnson syndrome and to encourage others to find ways to rebuild their confidence after suffering a medical setback.

“Brianna believes her scars represent her story,” said Brianna’s mother, Karen Burch. “She embraces her most challenging days in the hospital when her body was giving up. She lost 42 pounds during all of it. She was so fragile, weighing 74 pounds.

I thought I was going to lose her.”

Pneumonia, then mysterious symptoms

Nearly six years ago, in October 2012, Burch was diagnosed with pneumonia. Her doctor prescribed her Azithromycin, a strong antibiotic.

After taking the medication, Burch developed blisters on her mouth, eye redness and high fevers. Burch was sent to three different hospitals in Virginia—Haymarket Medical Center, Prince William Medical Center, and Inova Fairfax Hospital—until the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington D.C. was comfortable enough to treat her.

Doctors diagnosed Burch with Stevens-Johnson syndrome: a severe allergic reaction that occurs when the immune system cannot handle a drug or medication. In Burch’s case, macrolides—a drug class to Azithromycin—triggered the condition.

According to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, “Stevens-Johnson syndrome begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful rash that spreads, eventually causing the top layer of the skin to die and shed.”

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a life-threatening disease in which patients are treated in an intensive care unit and must be closely monitored by doctors.

“Throughout my time at the hospital, my skin was constantly producing blisters to get rid of the reaction,” said Burch, who just finished her sophomore year at Virginia Tech. “Some of the blisters caused severe scaring to my face, which at one point really affected my confidence as a teenage girl growing up. I was only 14 years old, but I wouldn’t leave the house without tubs of makeup for backup.”

Burch’s condition led to missed sleepovers and trips to the pool due to the scarring she hid during her recovery. Her skin now has a soft peach tone ad her light eyes change from blue to grey in the sun. She still has the scars but covers them with makeup.

“Not many people can see them,

Gainesville resident Brianna Burch pictured on the campus of Virginia Tech, where she just completed her sophomore year.

Brianna Burch participated in a campus fashion show this past year. but I deal with them every morning I wash my face,” Burch said.

The long-term prognosis for victims of Stevens-Johnson syndrome varies depending on the severity of the symptoms. Burch’s immune system is permanently damaged due to the intensity of her case. This increases her chances of getting sick during the flu season.

“My skin is easily affected by the sun. I’ve been sent to the hospital three times for sun poisoning,” Burch said. “I am careful to wear sunscreen with high levels of SPF to avoid any sort of reaction from the sun. I just have to be really careful.”

Burch is now 20 and currently on track to get her bachelor’s degree in 2020. She is a double major in criminology and sociology.

“Growing up, I never wanted to be anything other than a police officer,” she said. “I think my family background has influenced my deci-

sion for both my majors. My dad and grandfather have law enforcement background and they have shown me the ins and outs of the career.”

Burch says she sees how a career in law enforcement can impact a community, and she strives to one day give back and make a difference.

Rocking the runway

But she’s not waiting until she graduates to get involved in her community. Burch is a member of Sigma Kappa sorority, a delegate to the larger campus Panhellenic organization and recently agreed to model in the Virginia Tech Fashion Merchandising and Design Society’s annual fashion show.

Burch said the experience helped boost her confidence.

“I played softball for 13 years.

That’s not really the most girly sport out there,” Burch laughed. “Even to this day, I don’t dress up. I wear leggings and a sweatshirt I pull out

of my closet each morning. The process of being around so many men and woman that are beautiful on the inside and out really showed me my ability to walk in the fashion show.

I was so grateful to be a part of it.”

“Walking down the runway with no experience at all was nerve-racking,” she added, but “Knowing people went to the show to support me made me feel important, and it’s something I hope to continue to participate in for the rest of my years left at Virginia Tech.”

Burch said she also finds inspiration in Sigma Kappa’s value of personal growth – a promise to be the best she can be.

“Four years ago, I would have declined the offer to be the face for Sigma Kappa,” she said. “Now, I feel so poised and I want to keep going.”

“Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a severe reaction that affects the skin, mucous membranes and eyes. It is often triggered by particular medications and is an emergency medical condition that usually requires hospitalization and can be life-threatening.

Symptoms include fever and flulike symptoms, followed by painful blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. SJS may also cause severe irritation to the eyes and damage to the cornea, which can lead to permanent eye damage and vision loss. SJS occurs twice as often in men than in women and most often occurs in children and young adults under 30.”

HEALTH AND WELLNESS BRIEFS Free Dentistry Day treats 54 residents

Fifty-seven Warrenton-area residents received free dental services from Family Dental Care of Warrenton recently during Free Dentistry Day. Dr. Gerald Awadzi, Dr. Kayvan Shahrzad and their team provided free oral health care to the community during Free Dentistry Day, a program initiated to provide dental care to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance.

The doctors and team members provided more than $19,300 worth of dentistry, including free cleanings, fillings and extractions to local people throughout the day.

“We are very pleased with the success of this event,” Awadzi said. “Unfortunately, many people do not see a dentist on a routine basis. We were honored to open our doors to those in our community and volunteer our time and resources to make sure they received the care they need and deserve.”

One third of Americans are living without dental insurance and economic conditions leave little room to afford dental procedures. Without events like Free Dentistry Day, dental care simply isn’t an option for many uninsured people. Each year, thousands of patients are given free dental care, with millions of dollars in free dentistry provided by dentists and their teams at Free Dentistry Day events nationwide, according to a news release.

UVA offers medical yoga for health professionals course

The University of Virginia is offering “Foundations of Medical Yoga for Health Professionals” this fall.

This three-credit course “will provide graduate students, medical students, and practicing health professionals with a foundational understanding of medical yoga to improve health and wellness from a historical, theoretical, and research perspective,” according to the news release.

It will explore the history of yoga, theories and conceptualizations of medical yoga as a healing modality, review of significant research related to therapeutic yoga, applications of medical yoga for self and clinical care. It will include both didactic and experiential components. Maureen Mala Cunningham, clinical assistant professor of nursing, is the instructor.

Yoga, referred as “a living fossil,” was a mental and physical discipline, for everybody to share and benefit from, whose traces went back to around 2,000 BC to Indus Valley civilization, said Rajan Zed, president of Universal Society of Hinduism.

According to U.S. National Institutes of Health, yoga may help one to feel more relaxed, be more flexible, improve posture, breathe deeply, and get rid of stress.

Fearing Alzheimer’s and having an important talk

By Madison Taylor Guest Columnist

We don’t always watch TV together at our house anymore. New technology probably made this inevitable. We had only one TV in our house for the first dozen years of our married life. That was by design. We figured with just one TV we would have to share more and talk more. It was, and still is a good plan.

But then we got a tablet. My wife Roselee gave me an iPad for my birthday six or seven years ago. Because I used it only sporadically if at all, she commandeered it. A couple of years ago she began streaming shows she liked, things like “The Great British Baking Show.” She also started watching reality programs from Australia about dancing. She streams dozens of programs new and old. I would guess Roselee has probably seen the series “The West Wing” at least eight times from the first to last episode. I have little doubt she knows all the words to fictional President Bartlett’s fifth State of the Union address.

Meanwhile, I sit across the room and watch LeBron James do incredible stuff with a basketball and monitor old reruns of the 1970s cop comedy “Barney Miller” on a TV mounted above the fireplace.

Whatever works.

On Sunday April 22, though, we sat together through an episode of the CBS news magazine show “60 Minutes.” One segment held us hostage from start to finish. It probably still does. It was about a couple now in their 70s. The wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 16 years ago. Dr. Jon LaPook began documenting the lives of Carol and Mike Daly in 2008. At that time Carol was still very active but dealing with a fading memory.

And then an informative story turned into something far more terrifying. When it was over, I turned to Roselee and she turned to me. In a flash that only longtime couples can fully own, we knew without saying out loud: “We’re having a conversation about this now.”

Remembering grandma

The first definition of Alzheimer’s calls it a type of dementia impacting memory and growing worse over time. But that really only tells a fraction of the story. It is a heartbreaking and soul-crushing disease that creates not only a victim in the person who has it, but all of those around them.

Among the last photos of my grandmother. She’s with my grandfather on the deck of the log cabin at my mother and father’s house in around 1983. It was their 60th wedding anniversary.

My first encounter with Alzheimer’s was when my grandmother began to have a fading memory in the late 1960s or early 1970s. She was forgetful but in small ways.

She was born in 1900 and a physically strong woman used to work and difficult circumstances. Over time she became confused. One year we

found wrapped packages on Christmas Eve in the freezer. She deteriorated gradually but surely.

She couldn’t remember how to cook things she had made since she was a little girl.

Then she failed to recognize my mother, her sister and brothers. She became angry and lashed out in often ugly tones. Ultimately, she began to believe her husband, my grandfather, was her father. In her last few years she could do very little beyond sitting up. Conversation was impossible. Her descent took a toll on my grandfather and everyone before she passed away in 1983 or ’84.

Back then they called it senility.

My mother, of course, watched this unfold with a growing sense of alarm. Then and now it’s believed that family history plays a role in development of Alzheimer’s in individuals. According to Alz.org, a website dedicated to Alzheimer’s research:

“Research has shown that those who have a parent, brother, sister or child with Alzheimer’s are more likely to develop the disease. The risk increases if more than one family member has the illness. When diseases tend to run in families, either heredity (genetics) or environmental factors or both may play a role.”

My mother has expressed fear of developing Alzheimer’s disease for much of the last 40 years. Today at age 86, it continues to be a topic of discussion on nearly every visit home. it came up again on May 13, Mother’s Day. She is becoming forgetful, but it’s not uncommon for someone of her age to have some slips.

What she does manage to remember is mind-boggling. Over the years she’s trained her mind to remember “speck-in-the-rug” details about things she encounters, appointments with doctors, work done at her house to maintain the lawn, paint, wash windows or cut down trees. She recites these things in highly repetitive stories that are built-in mechanisms she’s developed to have the best recall of events and details. These days the things she doesn’t remember can probably be traced more to hearing loss than anything else. She reads the newspaper from cover to cover every day and is probably has a better grasp of current events than at least half the younger people I encounter each day. Sometimes she doesn’t fully understand enough about today’s culture to know why things happen, but she’s very aware of what occurs. She lives alone with help a few days a week from my

brother and someone who comes in to help her maintain the house. For 86 she’s well above the average. But still after age 85 the odds of developing Alzheimer’s are much higher.

So she worries. Even though she has prepared for that event with precautions like nursing home insurance, she worries. And I get it.

anymore.

Narrator: When Carol was still Carol, that would have been the best time to discuss the kind of caregiving decisions Mike Daly eventually had to face alone. Mike hopes that sharing such intimate details of their lives will help others be better prepared than they were.

‘Carol’s not Carol anymore’

In the time it took for “60 Minutes” to cut away for a commercial we had the conversation.

As I approach age 59, I can feel my own memory starting to fade at times. A couple of months ago I had to think hard behind the wheel of my car in order to remember how to turn on the windshield wipers. That was a first and it hasn’t occurred since, but it made me think. It made me consider what might be ahead.

I turned to Roselee as the “60 Minutes” report concluded and said simply, “If this happens to me you put my *ss in a nursing home and don’t think even a half-second about it. I’m not kidding.”

I made her promise. Then she said much the same thing. And I promised in return.

Let’s hope we never have to discuss it again.

Madison Taylor is a development writer at Elon University in Elon, N.C., after a 30-year career in newspapers as a reporter and editor. This was originally printed in his blog, Madison’s Avenue at mtaylor.blog

I get it even more after watching the “60 Minutes” report. The story isn’t so much about Carol Daly’s decline, something compelling by itself.

The focus is on the devastating impact on Mike, her husband of 53 years and primary caregiver for 16 lonely and grueling years. Mike is a retired New York city cop who tells LaPook that caregiving is the toughest job he’s ever had and added that the situation had him thinking of suicide. LaPook says this is not uncommon.

This is how the story ends.

Narrator: So now, despite years of telling us he wouldn’t put Carol in a nursing home: Mike Daly: I’m comin’ to the to the point where maybe a nursing home is, is the answer for her, her safety.

Narrator: Ten days after that, and 53 years after their wedding day, Mike did put Carol in a nursing home.

Dr. Jonathan LaPook: Do you still love her?

Mike Daly: I love Carol who was Carol. But now Carol’s not Carol

Clinging to a 7-6 halftime lead on May 24, O’Toole immediately gained possession to start the half and drove right upfield, leaving Brentsville defenders in her wake before burying a shot that proved to be the catalyst for an 18-7 Kettle Run victory and the Region B title.

Kettle Run will host Dominion in the Class 4 quarterfinal Friday at 5:30 p.m., its first state appearance.

“At halftime I just said ‘Enough is enough, I’m going for it,’’’ said O’Toole. “Then it was goal after goal. I wanted to be that spark to get the flood gates open.”

“It was very important to get the energy up for the team to have a positive start to the game,” Small said.

But Brentsville, which meets Riverside in its state quarterfinal, dominated the final 10 minutes of half behind standout sophomore Emma Delery, who tallied a team-high four goals.

Brentsville scored in the final five seconds of the half to make it 7-6.

“When we take care of the ball our girls can do really great things and that’s what they were doing those last few minutes of the first half,” said Brentsville coach Elizabeth Walsh.

Helped by a halftime pep talk from defender Katie MacMahon, the Cougars racked up 11 second-half goals while goalkeeper Danielle Cross and the Kettle Run defense allowed just one over the final 25 minutes.

“We had 10 different scorers tonight,” said DeGoosh. “Grace is a strong scorer and Mary is a strong scorer. There are certain plays we run and given the right opportunity that person is going to capitalize.”

Falcon baseball outgunned in final, 15-11

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier Falcons entered the Class 4 Northwestern District tournament final having never lost a game in which they scored more than three runs this baseball season.

And the Millbrook Pioneers entered having never won a game in which they allowed more than four runs this spring. So, naturally, visiting Millbrook beat the Falcons, 1511, Friday in the tournament championship.

“Not too many teams are going to give up 11 [runs] and still come out in the win column,” Pioneers coach Brian Burke said. “I’m not going to lie, I was extremely nervous and worried for us.”

See FALCONS, Page 20

gle one of them can play every single position,” DeGoosh said. “Even though they are defenders I had them ending up in the offensive play and scoring. That versatility is one of our assets. We have 20 total and out of that 20 there are 16 of them who have scored in varsity games.”

O’Toole said Friday’s home quarterfinal vs. Dominion is vital.

“We have already made history by being the first to make states,” said O’Toole, “So why can’t it be our year to get far up in the state tournament?”

The Cougars lost to Dominion 15-3 on April 4.

“We played Dominion early so if we play them we do know what we are facing,” DeGoosh said. “We need to be mentally and physically ready.”

The Kettle Run The Kroll family has girl also play at home had a couple of cracks at Friday, hosting Dohelping the Cougars win minion at 5:30 p.m. their first region title in the boys lacrosse team’s 10-year history. Casey and Carson Kroll each fell short of that goal, but their younger brother delivered Thursday by scoring three goals and assisting two while helping Kettle Run dominate Fauquier, 17-9, in the final of the Class 4 Region B tournament at Liberty in Bealeton.

“I think it’s a big deal because we’ve had a lot of good teams come through here,” Jack Kroll, a junior midfielder, said of the Cougars, who have a 95-45 all-time record with a 13-2 mark this season. “I’ve been watching Kettle Run since I was a little kid, so it’s nice to bring a region championship to the school.”

He watched as Casey Kroll played on Kettle Run’s inaugural lacrosse team in 2009 before graduating in 2010 with the Cougars losing a firstround region game that spring. Then Carson Kroll graduated last year with the Cougars losing a pair of first-round region games during his tenure.

In fact, Kettle Run had never won a region game prior to this season, let alone a region championship. The Cougars entered this spring with a 0-5 region record, but they improved that to 3-5 by beating Fauquier (10-5) on Thursday after defeating Liberty in the quarterfinals, 20-1, and Brentsville in the semifinals, 11-9, to earn Kettle Run’s first boys lacrosse state berth in history.

During previous seasons, the Cougars earned region appearances by winning a district or conference championship, but the VHSL eliminated that district/conference format for the 2018 lacrosse season, so Kettle Run did not need to qualify for the region playoffs for the first time in history.

Kettle Run’s Jimmy Dooly and Fauquier’s Cole Anderson are looking forward to Friday’s state quarterfinals.

Regardless, the Cougars created unprecedented region success, which left goalie Nolan Hall feeling fulfilled.

“It’s pretty much everything that I wanted in my senior season,” he said after making some phenomenal saves Thursday. “Anything after this game is a bonus to me. … I just love playing with these guys.”

Kettle Run plays Friday in the Class 4 state quarterfinals at home against the Region C runner-up Dominion Titans.

“We’re ready,” Cougars coach Blake Smith said. “We have a lot of big plans coming up for this team in the future. So this is huge for us” to qualify for state.

The Cougars advanced despite entering the region tournament as the No. 3 seed. They finished the regular season in a three-way tie for first place at 7-1 with Fauquier and Brentsville. Via tiebreaker rules, the Falcons received the No. 1 seed and a bye, while the Tigers took the No. 2 seed.

Fauquier also advanced to the state quarterfinals thanks to a region semifinals win over Culpeper, 20-6.

“The score might not show it, but the better team did not win in my eyes,” Fauquier coach Richard Carpenter said of the region final. “Yeah, they came out and they played harder. The refs, you can’t always [call it equally] both ways. But in my eyes I still do not believe the better team won.”

The Falcons also lost to Kettle Run during the regular season, 10-9, April 30, but the Cougars needed overtime. Fauquier played the rematch Thursday without four players due to “discipline issues,” Carpenter said. “But I’m not commenting on that.”

Sophomore Ethan Bew served as Fauquier’s goalie after senior Sam Averna played an impressive game during the Falcons’ previous 10-9 loss to Kettle Run. Averna made 14 saves, including a handful of one-on-one stops, in that initial game, but did not play in the match.

Bew made a pair of saves Thursday while facing 34 shots by the Cougars.

“I think my guy held his own,” Carpenter said of the goalie. “It was his first time in a fast-paced game like this. I give him credit. He didn’t back down.

“He wasn’t scared,” the coach said. “But it’s big shoes to fill as a sophomore.”

Ashton Short led the Cougars with four goals, while Jimmy Dooly and Braedan Allen each had three goals and two assists. Long-stick midfielder Connor Gladstone added two goals while Matt Begley and Ian Sekelsky each had a pair of assists.

Kettle Run’s Hall, meanwhile, made 13 saves, foiling perhaps a half-dozen Fauquier shots that seemed destined for the back of the net. He allowed three goals to Jack Averna and two to Nate Thomason.

“It’s probably my best performance against Fauquier for my entire time in high school,” Hall said.

Mitchell’s goal lifts Cougars to title, 1-0

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Sarah Mitchell’s goal from about 20 yards out helped the Kettle Run Cougars win the Class 4 Northwestern District girls soccer tournament championship Wednesday with a 1-0 victory in the final over Sherando at home in Nokesville.

Payton Fiel assisted the goal to help improve Kettle Run’s record to 15-1 with 13 consecutive victories that included the district’s regular season title.

In fact, over the past six games, the Cougars have five shutouts.

“Grace Crater led the defense,” Kettle Run coach Matt Zuras said. “Limited Sherando to a few scoring chances.”

Falcons end Cougars’ season, 10-5

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Just call him Big Game Lane.

Fauquier relief pitcher Lane Pearson silenced Kettle Run in the Class 4 Northwestern District semifinals, firing 6 2/3 strong innings in a 10-5 Falcon victory Thursday afternoon in Warrenton.

Pearson was the pitching and hitting star in a 5-3 win over Millbrook on May 16 that clinched the regular season title for the Falcons, and asserted himself again Thursday with a near complete game.

Fauquier beat Kettle Run for the second straight time after losing eight in row.

After qualifying for region play seven of the past eight seasons with four consecutive berths, No. 4-seeded Kettle Run missed this year. Coach Ty Thorpe lamented the number of tricky defensive plays his team couldn’t make, but he gave credit to Fauquier.

“Fauquier’s a very good team. They’ve got no easy outs,” said Thorpe, who also praised Falcon star shortstop Blaze O’Saben. “In my mind, he’s the Player of the Year in the district.”

Had the Cougars beaten Fauquier on Thursday, they would have driven to Millbrook the same day for the district final, which would have been the Cougars’ third playoff game in four days and taxed the pitching staff.

“We would have pieced it together,” said Thorpe, who would have

used Bailey Burke and others.

Thorpe hugged many of his players after the game and looked back at the season with pride.

“It was a success. We had a winning season,” said Thorpe, before adding, “We’ve got to get bigger, stronger, faster.”

Kettle Run led for the first hour of the game, building a 3-0 lead.

Dennis Minter started for the Falcons and faced four batters in the first, before Pearson came on. O’Saben said the plan was to have Minter be relieved anyway after 25 pitches.

Unearned runs helped Kettle Run take a 2-0 lead in the first. The Cougars added one run in the second.

Although walks remained a problem, Pearson eventually settled down as the Falcons scored six in the bottom of the third to take the lead

for good at Pearson walked two Cougars to lead off the fourth as Kettle Run came back to make it 6-5, but Fauquier put the game away in the fifth with four more runs.

Fauquier stole three bases and scored three runs on two dribbler ground balls to third and another medium-velocity grounder to short.

“We couldn’t make routine plays,” lamented Thorpe.

“We do a good job putting pressure.

Sometimes when you see the runner is three-fourths of the way down there you have to hurry,” O’Saben said.

Given the lead, Pearson was a workhorse. He allowed no hits in the final three innings.

“He’s a big, strong kid who can go deep into games,” O’Saben said.

Despite valiant rally, Falcons fall in final FALCONS, from Page 18 He had plenty of reasons to relax early as Millbrook took a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning and built that to 14-3 with an eight-run third.

The Falcons got back in it with a seven-run fifth, then loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh.

But relief pitcher Chandler Ballenger used a pair of strikeouts and a ground out to quickly end the game.

Millbrook (15-9) lost to Woodgrove 1-0 in the Class 4 Region C semifinals, while the Falcons (16-6) played at Riverside Tuesday.

“It shows our toughness, it shows us we’re never out of a game no matter what,” said FHS coach Matt O’Saben. “Now we’re a little focused and a little angry. We made some mistakes today and let somebody else celebrate on our field. So I would like to go to Riverside and celebrate on somebody else’s field.”

Against Millbrook, Blaze O’Saben led Fauquier with four RBIs and three runs while reaching base in all five of his at-bats thanks to 2-for-4 hitting, two Millbrook errors and a walk. He hit a two-run home run and a two-run triple, while Pearson had one RBI and one run on 3-for-4 hitting.

Carson McCusker added two runs and a double on 2-for-4 hitting, while Nate Winebarger went 1-for-2 with a run and a two-RBI single.

FHS boys take 2nd at region track

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Patrick Atwell and Nick Matthews combined to win four races and help the Fauquier Falcons place second in the boys team standings at the Class 4 Region C track and field championships, which began Wednesday at Handley and concluded Friday at Millbrook.

The Fauquier boys finished behind John Handley, 113-88, but they still logged their ninth consecutive top-five region finish. They topped third-place Loudoun County (82 points) for their best placement since winning the 2015 Class 4A North Region championship.

The Class 4 state meet is Friday and Saturday in Harrisonburg.

Fauquier’s girls finished sixth in the region (59 points) behind champion Loudoun County (96) after placing among the top five region teams each of the past eight seasons.

Kettle Run added an eighth-place finish in the girls standings (35) and took 12th in the boys standings (19), while Liberty’s boys placed 10th (35) and its girls finished 12th (14).

For Fauquier, Atwell won the 200-meter dash in 22.26 seconds and the 400 in 49.59, while also finishing fifth in the triple jump and helping the 1,600 relay team of Bruce Boggs, Nick Matthews and Josh Moylan place third.

Matthews also won the 800 in 1:56.17 and helped Canon Green, Mark Zitzmann and Brian Bolles win the 3,200 relay in 8:01.42.

Adding third-place finishes were Dakari Mullins (long jump) and Corey Kavounis (110 hurdles), while contributing fourth-place finishes were Ben Scaring (shot put), John Paccassi (800) and Thomas Cummins (3,200). Da’Saun DillSimmons took fifth in the pole vault.

For Fauquier’s girls, Hannah Holland won the 800 in 2:19.39 and won the 3,200 relay with Elise Fernandez, Kelsey Gastley and Annalie DelGallo in 9:41.42. She also joined Fernandez, Gastley and Ahmirah Roberson to place third in the 1,600 relay, while Fernandez finished fifth in the 400.

In field events, Kayla Pavlock took third in the shot put and fifth in the discus, while Sarah Saas placed third in the pole vault. Kyra Holland added a fourth-place finish in the 1,600, while Camryn Bland took fifth in the 200.

For Kettle Run, Sofie Haugsdahl placed second in the shot put and discus, while Adalia Coleman finished fifth in the 100 and second in the 400 relay with Taylor Honesty and Grace Contreras.

Cougar Mateo Barreto added a third-place finish in the 800, while Evan Torpy took fourth in the pole vault, Ryan Schaefer placed fifth in the 200, Logan Rapp finished fifth in the discus.

For Liberty, Ja’Von White was the 400 runner-up and he helped Markael Gaskins, Ed Mangum and Ian Crofford finish fourth in the 400 relay, while Mangum placed fifth in the long jump.

Eagle Sam Rodman added a second-place finish in the 800, and also earning medals were Zach Wilkins (third, pole vault), Kristeena Kenny (second, 100).

Walnut cracks top dog title

Tennessee club dominates foxhound event in Leesburg

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Tennessee’s Hillsboro Hounds wowed an international panel to sweep champion and reserve Best in Show at Sunday’s Virginia Foxhound Club Show at Morven Park in Leesburg.

Hillsboro Walnut, a 2017 bitch, claimed her second-straight best English hound title at the historic event.

She was named Best in Show, beating kennelmate Hillsboro Starlight, a 2017 bitch that won best Crossbred.

Showcasing some 700 hounds from 38 hunts, the event is the world’s largest foxhound bench show; it started in 1947. Five rings run concurrently, featuring American, English, Penn-Marydel and two Crossbred rings. “[Walnut is] a phenomenal hunting hound,” said huntsman Johnny Gray, a native of Northumberland, England. He called the Virginia title “a thrill and an honor. This show’s a stamp of approval.”

“This is Johnny’s 40th year

with us,” said Hillsboro Hounds joint-master Orrin Ingram. “He’s got our pack perfectly in tune.” The south-central Tennessee club last won Virginia Best in Show in 2015 with HH Siskin.

Virginia was Walnut’s second-straight Best in Show title on the 2018 circuit; she was top dog at the Southern Foxhound Show in Florida last month. Sired by Hillsboro William, Walnut is out of Hillsboro Sable, drafted to Hillsboro as a puppy from Live Oak Hounds in Florida.

Sherando quiets Falcons in semis

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Fauquier won a lot of close softball games this year, including two one-run wins over Sherando. That helped the Falcons win the regular season title in the highly competitive Northwestern District.

But Sherando earned sweet satisfaction last Thursday night, slipping past the Falcons 2-0 in the district tournament semifinals behind a lockdown pitching performance from sophomore Lauren Smith, who fired a three-hitter and thoroughly stifled the hosts from the get-go.

A first inning run held up for the No. 4 Warriors, who lost to No. 3 James Wood in Friday’s final. The Falcons (15-4-1) were stymied by Smith’s versatile arsenal. “She’s got six pitches and they all were dancing,” said Sherando coach Clarence Smith.

Mark Ott didn’t have an explanation for his girls’ offensive silence and he wasn’t pleased.

“She kept us off balance and we chased bad pitches,” he said.

Emily Turner and the Falcons faced traditional nemesis Woodgrove in Tuesday’s Class 4 Region B semifinals.

Smith outdueled Falcon ace Sarah Lamper, who put up her typically impressive numbers. Lamper struck out 11 Warriors and allowed just three hits, but a small mistake in the first inning cost the Falcons a run that they futilely chased all night.

Leadoff batter Blake Conner walked and moved to second on a

groundout. After a strikeout, Conner reached third on a passed ball, which proved significant when standout shortstop Sierra Strosnider singled to short center to make it 1-0.

The Falcons could get nothing going against Smith, who set down the Falcons in order in the first three innings, adding to the home team’s stress level.

The Upperville Colt and Horse Show runs for the 165th time June 4-10 at the historic showgrounds just east of town. Classes start at 8 a.m. daily, with features including Sunday’s $210,000 jumper classic, Friday night Welcome Stakes, and Saturday evening’s $25,000 hunter derby.

Fauquier caught a break in the bottom of the fourth when a fly ball to medium right-center field fell in after Sherando’s center fielder called off the right fielder but could not make the catch, putting Ashley Renzi on second with no out.

But the next three Falcons went down in order, stranding Renzi at second.

In the fifth, the Falcons put runners on second and third with one out, but the inning ended with a pop out and strikeout.

In the sixth the Falcons hit the ball hard, but right at second base, resulting in a hit by Renzi and two tough outs to go with a groundout.

Sherando made it 2-0 in the top of the seventh, thanks to a quirky play.

With runners on second and third with two out, catcher Turner’s throw back to Lamper glanced off the helmet of batter Koreen Page and rolled past shortstop into short left field, allowing Conner to score from third.

The Falcons went in order in the seventh to finish a frustrating loss.

“I expect them to fight. They’ll be ready for the game and not roll over,” said Ott, looking forward to Tuesday’s regional at defending state champ Woodgrove.

Crawling along Interstate 95 or Old Bridge Road during your workweek commute, it’s easy to miss the tiny Town of Occoquan, which houses some of Northern Virginia’s award-winning galleries and dining destination spots along the scenic Potomac River.

A white-and-evergreen billboard offers a glimpse of what lies ahead as you descend the twisting, twolane Tanyard Hill Road carved into the rolling, wooded landscape. At the end lies Occoquan, a fusion of brick condominiums, Queen Ann-inspired townhomes and various turnof-the-century homes and buildings set amid a thriving yet pocket-sized dining, shopping and artisan hub.

The Loft Gallery, one of the area art scene’s best-kept secrets, inhabits a colonial-blue-and-black-shuttered storefront at 313 Mills St. Its vibrant crimson stairwell leads to a tiny hallway shooting off into three rooms dedicated to local art.

In the main gallery, retired FBI agent Lydia Jechorek’s face lights up in a warm smile as she introduces a colleague’s striking collage of faces against a black backdrop, a whimsical nod to ancient indigenous art.

Further down the wall space, a scalloped-edged glass sculpture with waves of amber and brown catches the light from a window overlooking the river.

On the back wall, Jechorek’s featured oils offer a glimpse into everyday moments. There’s a soft-focus oil impression of a long-forgotten 1950s-era car succumbing to the elements alongside children and elderly couples captured in moments of playfulness or contemplation.

The work reflects Jechorek’s journey from a local police department sketch artist, a job she held while growing up in Michigan, to her position as special agent and sketch artist for an FBI bank-robbery squad.

Soft-spoken, Jechorek likens her transition from federal law-enforce-

In addition to the gallery, Occoquan is known for its numerous independent shops, two annual craft shows and several independent restaurants. A recent addition is Bar J, which often features live musicians performing on its outdoor patio overlooking the Potomac River.

Worth the trip: Historic Occoquan offers galleries, shops and sopapillas

If you go…

Occoquan is in eastern Prince William County, off Va. 123 and Old Bridge Road.

From Warrenton, it’s 40 miles or about an hour drive.

There are a few ways to make the trip, depending on traffic. Generally, take U.S. 29 east to Interstate 66. Follow I-66 to Va. 234 to Prince William Parkway (Va. 294), skirting south of Manassas and toward Woodbridge.

Prince William Parkway merges into Old Bridge Road in Woodbridge. Take Old Bridge to Tanyard Hill Drive, which is on your left.

Tanyard Hill winds down into Occoquan.

OCCOQUAN, from Page 25 Bar J’s barndoor-fashioned entry way leads to a dining room embellished with an electric-blue-andwhite-sky mural floating above crafted wood tabletops and plush booths. The mural is both a nod to Occoquan’s artisan culture and the creative expression of restaurant owner Joshua Anderson.

In partnership with his mother, Kathy Anderson, Joshua revived the Tex-Mex eatery, best known for its chili, in 2016. The family previously operated restaurants in Lorton, Manassas and Woodbridge, but closed their last location, on Va. 123 in Woodbridge, in 2010.

Anderson said he wanted the new space to remind loyal customers of the restaurant’s previous digs.

“I wanted to re-create that fallen-down feel of the old Bar J horse-shoe bar with the broken brick showing through the plaster,” he said.

The Andersons worked with a local artist to create the effect with white-textured stucco applied to brick walls.

Bar J’s menu lists a mouth-watering feast of unique and standard offerings, from lightly spiced greenchili Mexican fondue to the “Texas Devil” steak, served with sautéed red peppers and garlic on a sizzling skillet with fresh guacamole, rice and beans.

Deep-fried powdered-sugar-and-cinnamon sopapillas are a good choice to polish off your meal.

Topped with whip cream and honey, the Mexican

Marshall Baptist Church hosts blood drive

I trust that everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I enjoyed lots of graduation picnics.

And speaking of graduations. Congratulations to our community graduates: Hunter Grogg, Alexus Olinger, Kylie Bridges, Andrew Carter, Cavan Connolly, Samantha Rose, Elizabeth Waln and Matthew Morgan. I’ve watched all of these kids grow up and am very proud of all of their accomplishments. We wish you all luck in your next endeavors.

Remington wants VDOT Smart Scale grant In follow-up to the May 2 VDOT proposal to Fauquier County Supervisors Chris Butler (Lee) for a Route 29/ Freemans Ford Road intersection project, VDOT met with the Remington Town Council May 21.

The VDOT proposal is for an alternative to the current intersection, by

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 30, 2018

Our community was saddened last week to learn of the passing of a community icon – J. Randolph Embrey.

Randolph was a pillar of the community and will be missed not only by his family, but by all of his friends as well.

Please continue to keep his family in your prayers as they continue to grieve through their loss.

Mark your calendar for the next Blood Drive on June 4 at Marshall Baptist Church from 2 to 7 p.m. You can make an appointment at the Red Cross website or just walk-in. For information, contact Suzy Neesseen: 540-317-3344.

And now for some birthday love extended to: Lou Downs and Nneka

a roundabout with restricted crossing U-T (RCUT) conversion to restrict current turns at the subject intersection. The current traffic signal would be removed, a proposed concrete intersection island would be imposed, and three additional pavement turn lanes would be constructed within the current adjoining right-of-way.

The proposed RCUT conversion could reduce auto crashes at the subject intersection, according to VDOT.

VDOT is under a deadline to submit a notice of intent by June 1 upon approval of the Fauquier Board of Supervisors for a $3 million project, which is projected to be completed late next year, if approved for VDOT funding. Don’t forget the upcoming annual Remington Fire & Rescue Carnival from May 30 - June 2 at the Remington Carnival Grounds. The Grand Carnival Parade is on June 1 at 6:30 p.m. on East Main Street.

First Friday is right around the corner. On Friday, June 1, the Town of Warrenton will be having its regular celebration on Main Street.

This month, the event will feature a sidewalk sale in front of Main Street businesses, held from 6 to 9 p.m.

Also, Experience Old Town Warrenton is partnering with Bike Stop for a Bike Rodeo in front of the Bike Shop, and the WARF will be conducting activities for kids in front of the U.S. Post Office.

ALICE FELTS WARRENTON 540-349-0037 Warrenton.news@gmail.com Robbins Blues Band by the beer garden on 5th and Main street, and local children and organizations will perform music and dance in front of Allegro by the Courthouse. Beer Garden vendors will be Old Bust Head, Powers, Cobbler Mountain and Wort Hog. For your out-of-town visitors, a cute “welcome” gift would be “The ABCs of Old Town Warrenton.” It is a small softback book colorfully illustrated with the highlights of the town.

It would be a wonderful accompaniment to a walking tour of Old Town.

It is written by Jessica Smolinski,

who gives lots of creative credit to her husband. It’s on sale at Great Harvest on the corner of Main and 5th Street.

Visitors and residents alike will be pleased to know that time limits of parking spaces on Main Street have been extended to two hours and are only enforced Monday through Friday, with Saturday time limits not included. This offers a better opportunity for shoppers to enjoy Old Town.

There isn’t a doggie in the window anymore, but the space where Be

Pleased with the increased traffic in their new location, the shop owners are offering numerous classes in June. Beginning June 2, there will be a sock-making class and on June 5 there will be a beginner’s knitting class.

The Village of Orlean will celebrate 203 years in 2018, and the committee is making big plans to have a special day Oct. 13.

There will be a number of vendors as well as music, great food and the Orlean Centennial Award presentation for a family that has been in our neighborhood for at least 100 years.

Volunteers are always needed to participate and help during the festivities.

Get well wishes to Connie Hall and Jay Speer who both underwent surgery. Both are reportedly doing well, and we send good thoughts to both for quick recoveries.

A great big “Happy Birthday” to Bill Jackson’s mom who is celebrating

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 30, 2018

ANNE DAVIS MARKHAM HUME ORLEAN

540-364-1828 hlfmhouse@aol.com her 90th birthday. Alison, Bill and his mother shared a wonderful celebration on Memorial Day weekend to mark this special anniversary. Keep going, lady, there’s still fun ahead.

Other birthday wishes this week go to

Katie Hill, Justin McIntosh, Martine Hutt, Alex Munn, Shaw Armstrong, Kat Creveling, Annie Colaluca, Gary Pearson and Hudson Crites. Also, we slipped up and omitted two names last week: Mike Allen and Chris Ryan.

Get out, have fun and remember you will never be this age again.

The kitties send greetings. The two girls took a little “walkabout” the other day when they slipped under Mom’s feet and went racing outside to explore. Fortunately, that expedition did not last too long and when dark fell, they were happy to come inside.

Here’s a thought that may be more truth than some of us older folks want it to be. I am thinking more about running away now than I did when I was a kid. However, by the time that I put my teeth in, round up my glasses and find my keys, I forget why I’m going.

This week in literature

“And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose, And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows; But they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam, For the Glory of the Garden occupieth all who come.”

“The Glory of The Garden” by Rudyard Kipling

This time of year, blooms of all varieties dot the landscape, brightening gardens. Gardens beautify neighborhoods, but they also provide fresh fruits and vegetables and promote social and physical activities.

Celebrating the abundance of Mother Nature’s bounty, June 3 – 9 is National Garden Week.

During that time, a floral arrangement provided by the Cedar Run Garden Club will be on display at the Warrenton central library.

If you are interested in learning how you, too, can bring the blooms inside, join Warrenton resident Doug Larson on Sunday, June 10th for the next Sunday with the Library: Flower Arranging.

Larson will demonstrate several designs – from simple, small arrangements to larger displays – and provide suggestions and ideas for how anyone can use flowers in home entertaining. The program will be held at 45 Horner Street, Warrenton, 2 p.m. A walking tour of the Piedmont Environmental Council’s Native Plant Garden will follow.

Larson will draw on experience gained at an early age in a Chicago flower shop where he learned the basics. Later, he learned more creative

approaches to design, enabling him to easily bring flowers inside from the garden for daily enjoyment and special occasions.

“Don’t worry about the rules,” advises Larson, “Almost anything natural brought inside is going to enhance any setting.”

Sunday with the Library: Flower Arranging is part of a monthly series sponsored by Fauquier County Public Library and Friends of the Fauquier Library. Programs are free; no reservations are required.

To learn more about gardening and flower arranging, browse the library’s resources in Dewey Decimal sections 635 and 745.92 respectively online or at your local library. Jump-start your search with one of the following resources: • “The Church Ladies’ Guide to Divine Flower Arranging” by Gay Estes • “Floret Farm’s Cut Flower Garden: Grow, Harvest and Arrange Stunning Seasonal Blooms” by Erin Benzakein • “The Flower Chef: A Modern Guide to do-it-yourself Floral Arrangements” by Carly Cylinder

• “The Flower Recipe Book” by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo • “Flowers A to Z: Buying, Growing, Cutting, Arranging” by Cecelia Heffernan • “The Flower Workshop: Lessons in Arranging Blooms, Branches, Fruits, and Foraged Materials” by Ariella Chezar with Julie Michaels • “Fresh Flower Arranging” by Mark Welford and Stephen Wicks • “Hardie Newton’s Celebration of Flowers” by Hardie Newton • “Harvesting, Preserving, and Arranging Dried Flowers” by Cathy Miller • “Keiko’s Ikebana: A Contemporary Approach to the Traditional Japanese Art of Flower Arranging” by Keiko Kubo • “Sensational Dried Flowers: Make Arrangements so Beautiful They Look Fresh” by Esther Davis • “Simple Flower Arranging” by Mark Welford and Stephen Wicks • “Southern Bouquets” by Melissa Bigner Lisa Pavlock, Public Information Coordinator, Warrenton central library
