Supervisors OK residential addiction-treatment facility near Airlie By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A plan to open the Herren Wellness Retreat at Twin Oaks for recovering addicts near Airlie passed another hurdle Thursday when the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a special exception permit for the new facility. The retreat, to be located in a private home north of Warrenton, could

be operational by the spring, according to Christine Connolly, president and chief executive officer of the PATH Foundation, which is partnering with the Herren Wellness Group of Massachusetts to establish the facility. PATH, a nonprofit that awards grants to support community endeavors, has contracted to purchase the property, at 6791 James Madison Highway, from current owners Mark and Angela Smith for the wellness retreat.

The property includes a nine-bedroom, single-family dwelling and a two-bedroom guest cottage. No changes to the building exteriors will be made. The facility’s clients, referred to as “guests,” will be housed two or three to a room. Both Connolly and Chris Herren, a former professional basketball player who battled his own addiction and established Herren Wellness Group, spoke during the public hear-

ing, as did several adjacent property owners who had concerns about the impact of the retreat on water, traffic and whether an addiction recovery retreat is a good fit for the area. Kimberly Head, who said she grew up on the land being discussed, expressed concerns “there will be no turning back” once the land is repurposed. See RECOVERY, Page 4

Churches deliver firewood to those in need By Karen Chaffraix Time Staff Writer

Jay Heroux sweeps out the back of his truck after delivering a half-cord of wood to Jeannette and Nigel Clarke in Midland. The Clarkes, one of many families for whom local volunteers provide wood, have no other way of heating their home this winter. Warrenton Baptist and St. James’ Episcopal deliver in the central and southern end of the county. Grace Episcopal in the Plains and Grace Bible in Marshall do the same in the county’s north end.

The morning was crisp and sunny on the lot behind Warrenton’s Brumfield Elementary. Rows of stacked firewood were either ready to go or still drying out. An ax dropped in intervals, and smoke wafted from a burn pile of scrap wood. As wheelbarrows rolled by, children wandered the field offering bottled water, and hay was being laid over the deep mud. It was a typical Saturday for volunteers in the “wood ministry” of a number of county churches. Warrenton Baptist and St. James’ Episcopal share this 50-acre field, donated by Arabelle Arrington to Warrenton Baptist nearly a decade ago. See FIREWOOD, Page 4

Fauquier student shares broadband woes with Microsoft panel Staff Report McKenzie Hurley, a Fauquier High School sophomore, recently participated in a panel discussion about how a lack of access to broadband internet affects students’ daily lives. Hurley, of Delaplane, represented the National Future Farmers of America Organization during the Microsoft Airband Initiative, a philanthropic effort to extend broadband into an additional 3 million homes by July 2022. The discussion focused on how the lack of broadband impacts daily life. Hurley talked about difficulties completing homework with a slow internet connection. “I could do much more if I had access to the technology and broadMcKenzie Hurley with Microsoft President Brad Smith.

band all students deserve,” she said. Hurley told of how she went to school early to complete her work before a study hall allowed her to work online during the school day. Internet access is not an issue at the Fauquier SPCA, where she volunteers, due to a new cell tower in Casanova, she said. Allyson Knox, Microsoft’s director of education policy, invited Hurley to join the panel after she met her in an airport after the National FFA convention and was impressed by her articulate enthusiasm about the partnership between Microsoft and FFA, according to a school division press release. Microsoft President Brad Smith characterized the lack of broadband as an urgent problem. He said nearly half of the country uses the internet at slower than broadband speeds. “Broadband has become the electricity of the 21st century,” Smith said in the news release. “The future

of education requires that people connect to the internet at broadband speeds to do their homework and to pursue broader interests.” Microsoft’s Airband Initiative taps into TV white spaces to transmit signals at broadband strength through the airways using the available spectrum previously used by UHF or VHF television. Smith also said Microsoft plans to launch a partnership with the FFA. “We will be working with FFA to provide computer science curriculum that they can, in turn, deploy with 11,000 teachers they partner with across the country,” he said. “Being able to share my community’s experience with lack of broadband was really special,” Hurley said of the experience, according to the news release. “I got to advocate for something that is really important that people don’t think about.”

Experts on opioid addiction encourage community coalitions By Robin Earl

Panelists

Times Staff Writer

More than 100 people concerned about the opioid epidemic’s impact on Fauquier County attended a meeting hosted by Piedmont Community Resources United to Stop Heroin, held at the PATH Foundation headquarters on Walker Drive on Jan. 11. Dr. Jon D’Souza, chief medical officer, Novant Health UVA Health System, Culpeper, moderated the afternoon discussion: “We are not going to talk about ‘Is there a problem with addiction?’ We know there is a problem.” All three of the day’s panelists – Jae K. Davenport, deputy secretary for public safety and homeland security for Virginia; Karl Colder, a former special agent in charge with the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Steve Williams, mayor of Huntington, West Virginia – talked about the importance of communities coalitions coming together to battle addiction. “Everyone has to take ownership of the problem,” said Williams. “If you can name the problem, you can own it. Problem is, some people don’t want to name it…. Hope is not a strategy. Everyone has to have an assignment.” Huntington’s mayor said that in 2014, his town of 50,000 was labeled the epicenter of the opioid epidemic in the United States. He said that Huntington has since become known as the epicenter of the solution to the opioid epidemic. This effort began with establishing a Mayor’s Office of Drug Control Policy in 2014 that has helped develop a harm-reduction program, an adult drug court and a quick response team to steer an individual into treatment after they overdose. He said that within 24 hours of someone overdosing, the person is visited by a law-enforcement professional (in plain clothes), a member of the clergy and a mental-health professional. Williams said that just a few years ago, there was a four-hour period in Huntington when law-enforcement officers were called to 28 overdoses. Two of those people died and 26 were saved. One woman, Williams said, agreed to get treatment, but there was nowhere to send her. Six weeks later, she was dead. Currently, he said, one in three of those who experience an overdose go into treatment. Since 2015, the City of Huntington has acquired $4.8 million in state, federal and philanthropic grants to combat the opioid epidemic. Williams said that overdoses were down in Huntington by 41 percent in the first nine months of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017; drug-related deaths have decreased 50 percent. But Williams is not taking a victory lap just yet. His town has made progress, but there have been mistakes along the way. “In 2014, we knew we had to do something. It was suggested we start a needle-exchange program. I didn’t want to start with something so controversial. Within 90 days, we arrested 200 people. I thought that now we were getting somewhere…But they just kept coming. You can’t arrest your way out of this problem.” Huntington started the first needle-exchange

program in West Virginia. “We were on the verge of an HIV epidemic, but we haven’t seen it,” said Williams. The town has also seen a decline in hepatitis infections. Colder agreed that although some people feel a needle-exchange program would enable addicts, “it addresses a health problem.” Other initiatives have started on the state level. Davenport explained a pilot program that utilizes medication assisted treatment for inmates who are being released from incarceration. “People think that if someone has been in jail for two years and hasn’t been using drugs, they are fine. But abstinence is not treatment.” The voluntary program, operated by the Department of Corrections, appoints recovery specialists to those being released to make sure they are getting the treatment and

support they need. Lisa Mundy was one of several audience members who had questions for the panel. Mundy’s daughter, 26, is an addict. She has been in jail twice and rehab three times. Mundy’s daughter’s boyfriend died of an overdose. Mundy asked why her daughter was not given more help in the hospital. Williams nodded, “Yes, when Narcan is administered, they can just get up and walk away.” (Narcan is the brand name for naloxone, a drug used to reverse an overdose.) Leigh McPartlin also had a comment for the panel. She lost her son to heroin/fentanyl addition. Although she said she has the utmost respect for law enforcement, when she called police to come help her son, she said they lacked empathy. “I was calling for help, not for him to be taken to jail.

build trust and bridge the gap?” Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier spoke to the mother’s concerns by explaining that when officers arrive at a home where illegal drugs are being used, one of their responsibilities is to gather evidence so that they can address the supplier. “Addiction recovery is addressed at a later time,” he said. He said that all of his deputies are equipped with Narcan, in case of overdose. Members of the panel acknowledged that they don’t have all the answers, but Williams has hope: “Our town has figured out that we have the ability to take this on. Is this beyond our control? Heck no.”

Supervisors OK residential addiction-treatment facility near Airlie RECOVERY, from Page 1 In response, Herren said neighbors have welcomed his facility in Massachusetts. Cameras and staff will monitor activity at Twin Oaks. Those enrolled in the 28-day residential program are there by choice and will not serve “mandated” commitments, he said. Herren said he was “extremely proud” of what Herren Wellness Group has accomplished in helping recovering addicts with an approach that includes therapy, yoga, exercise, meditation and life-coaching. Herren also sought to clear up misconceptions about the program. He said the cost won’t be $15,000 per month – a figure he said he had heard voiced. He didn’t specify the figure but said the Herren Wellness Group has provided financial help to “well over 4,000 families” to help cover the cost. A four-week stay at the Herren Wellness Group’s Seekonk, Massachusetts, facility ranges between $12,500 and $15,000 a month depending on whether a guest stays in a single or double room, according to its website. Sallie Morgan, executive director of Mental Health Association of Fauquier County, said there is a critical need for a residential treatment facility in the county.

Morgan was among others from Fauquier who visited Herren’s facility in Massachusetts. “The think I saw there was hope. Hope is the key to recovery,” Morgan said. The resolution approving the special exception bars the facility from clearing trees, except as needed for water/sewer facilities and driveway improvements. The majority of the 50 acres of property is wooded. A 100-foot-wide buffer is to be maintained around the property’s perimeter. A meter will be installed to monitor groundwater use. Usage reports are to go to zoning administration and the Virginia Department of Health and be made available to the public. A limit on future uses has been added to

help address concerns about future development. Two other special permits from the county are needed before the facility opens. One would allow the facility to exceed a 1,200-gallons-per-day limit for sewage to flow into its septic drain field, needed to accommodate the maximum 24 clients, 12 full-time and eight part-time staff. Another special-exception permit would be required to support a fire-suppression system if water and sewer pumping capability is aboveground. If placed inside the building, a special exception won’t be needed, said Josh Frederick, senior planner for the county department of community development. The request regarding the sewage limit is expected to come before the county planning commission in February, Frederick said. Fauquier County Supervisor Chris Granger, who represents the Center District where Twin Oaks is located, said special-exception permits aren’t permanent and can be revoked if the applicant doesn’t comply with the conditions set. “I live two and a half blocks from SpiritWorks and I’ve never lost a night’s sleep,” Granger said of a recovery center operating in Warrenton. “And a few blocks more is an AA [Alcoholics Anonymous]. We’ll work to make sure all the concerns are met.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Local ‘wood ministries’ chop, season and deliver wood to those who need it FIREWOOD, from Page 1 For the last two years, Colin Borgstrom’s volunteers from St. James’, and Tom Williams’ volunteers from Warrenton Baptist have alternated Saturdays here where they receive donated wood, chop it, season it and deliver it where needed. Their combined efforts deliver a truck-load of wood per week, all winter, to 25 homes in the central and south of Fauquier County. Grace Episcopal in The Plains and Grace Bible in Marshall have smaller operations, delivering wood to homes in the northern end. Others volunteer as well. And all share information and resources. “I’ve taken three calls just today asking for a delivery of wood before the snow comes,” Judy Williams said last week. She and her husband, Tom Williams, took over the operation two years ago. She fields the calls. He organizes teams and deliveries. “Lynn Ward and Claiborne Crain, as members of Warrenton Baptist church, started the wood ministry about five years ago,” Tom Williams explained. “Lynn was forming Fauquier Community Coalition, which is a nonprofit that identifies needs in the community and then connects churches to work on the projects,” he said. “They became aware of the number of people in the county who relied solely on firewood to heat their homes but could not afford to purchase it.” Firewood costs about $175 a truck load, which is about half a cord of chopped wood. “St. James’ initially joined to help split firewood, and then two years ago, seeing the extent of the need, decided to ramp up the ministry by working in the wood lot every Saturday yearround,” Tom Williams added. The operation delivered 102 loads of wood last year, or 51 cords. “We only add clients who have a financial need and heat primarily if not exclu-

All have different eligibility criteria, said Laura Brown, Fauquier County Department of Social Services. Call 540-422-8400.

sively with firewood,” Tom Williams said. He thinks this year will exceed last year’s 800 volunteer hours and 102 deliveries. Professional arborists deliver trees already cut into huge rounds, he said. “People have offered to donate standing trees to the ministry but we don’t have the expertise, equipment or insurance to bring wood to the lot.” One generous individual recently donated more than 20 cords of wood. “Already split and dried and ready to deliver,” he said. The volunteers, usually working a two-hour shift, process the wood using axes brought from home and three log splitters – one purchased and two donated. They built a shed to house the machinery, but otherwise the lot is empty. “We’re raising money to build a welcome center up there, where that huge tree is standing,” he said. They have about 20 people with pickup trucks who have volunteered to deliver the wood to folks. “Our clients contact us when their supply is getting low and we send out a request for delivery to our drivers. The first to respond gets the job.” They also try to “make a connection with these families to see if they have other needs that our related organizations can meet,” Tom Williams said.

Both belong to Warrenton Baptist Church. as her husband Nigel helped unload firewood from the back of Jay Heroux’s truck. Heroux, a new member of Warrenton Baptist, had delivered the half-cord of firewood, hitting the wood lot in Warrenton to pick it up at 9 a.m. “That much wood ought to last about two weeks,” Clarke said, her voice alternating between highpitched and normal. “Because of my surgery – on my throat,” she said. Clarke has diabetes. Her husband has a bad wrist and a broken nose. “Horse did it. Did it with his face,” Nigel Clarke said. The couple live in the cinderblock house with their grown daughter who is autistic. The extended family owns some acreage there, “but it falls to me to pay the taxes, and it’s real hard to keep up.” The county can offer no relief, she said, “until I’m 65.” Their clothes, toilet paper and soap are church donations. Their food comes from “the food bank,” she said. “My grandfather built this house, she said. “He was a minister at Ebenezer Baptist Church. He married many a couple right here.”

Clarke pointed to the concrete front porch. She had on a coat and a pair of shorts. “No, baby, don’t worry about me. I stay upstairs next to the [wood] stove all day and night!” After he’d swept out the truck, Heroux hopped down and said a prayer with the Clarkes. “Amen,” they both said afterward, waving as the truck pulled out. “Bless y’all. Thank y’all,” Clarke said. “I have to tell you my favorite wood ministry story,” Ward, who founded the wood ministry at Warrenton Baptist, added later. “I got a call from Culpepper and the caller said there was a woman in her 90s who was still living in the house she was born in. As a young woman she walked seven miles to a house where she was a maid and house cleaner and then the seven miles back home, regardless of the weather. Her pay was 25 cents an hour,” he said. “So many of our clients have worked hard all their lives but didn’t have the opportunities many of us received.” Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

School Board mulls energy-savings contract $10.7 million loan needed to save $13 million over 15 years By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County School Board will vote Jan. 22 on an energy-savings plan that aims to save the school division an estimated $957,000 annually or about $13 million over 15 years. The school division asked private contractor ABM to devise the

energy-savings plan, which was discussed at length during a Jan. 7 school board work session. ABM has proposed upgrades to school HVAC systems, mechanical equipment and lighting that should lower energy expenses by about 30 percent. The school division would need to borrow about $10.7 million to cover the cost of the needed upgrades, according to Prashant Shrestha, Fauquier schools’ assistant superintendent for business and planning. If the school board turns down the ABM proposal, the school division

will owe the contractor the cost of the audit: $185,000. The school board awarded ABM an “investment grade audit” in October. Six of the company’s senior operatives came to the school board office for the Jan. 7 work session to explain their proposal. ABM was given three directives, ABM’s Ron Garrison explained: to be budget-neutral, to address the highest maintenance and equipment replacement needs and to outline a capital improvement plan to address remaining needs in priority order. ABM identified some $40 mil-

lion worth of needed improvements but narrowed the focus to meet the county’s budget requirements, Garrison said. As for how the company calculated the energy savings, ABM’s Lucas Price said, “In two schools we did a hallway and classroom mock-up of LED lights.” Among other procedures, the company installed “data loggers” in each building, “looked at two years’ baseline usage overlaid with weather data” and “measured on a per-fixture See SCHOOL BOARD, Page 7

Planning commission to visit proposed Islamic retreat site By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Members of the Fauquier County Planning Commission are scheduled to visit Wednesday, Jan. 16 a Warrenton farm that has been proposed as a location for annual gatherings of followers of the Islamic faith. The commission frequently travels to locations that are the focus of requests for special exceptions, special permits and other land-use matters before considering them during regular meetings. In this case, the commission on Thursday, Jan. 17 will hold a public hearing on a request from the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam Inc. USA for a special exception to hold public events on land at 8721 Meetze Road, near the intersection with Turkey Run Road south of Warrenton. Seven parcels of land totaling about 515 acres are involved. The Fauquier County Community Development Department, which reviewed the application, is recommending that the planning commission postpone action on the application to allow ample opportunity for public comment. If the commission decides to do so, the public hearing would be kept open until its February meeting. Emails received by the department from the public thus far include concerns about traffic, noise, screening and the ability to provide food, water and sanitary facilities for the volume of people expected to attend the events.

This home, at 5320 Turkey Run Road, is part of a 515-acre site under contract for purchase by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA, as a site for four annual events, including a three-day Islamic retreat known as a Jalsa Salana. The Muslim group plans to hold a single annual event for up to 5,000, probably in July, and three other events for no more than 1,000 people each between August and October, according to the application filed with the county. Tents, portable toilets and well water and/or water tanks would serve the needs of those gatherings. There will be portable stages. Before each event, the group will need to file a plan outlining security, fire and rescue, traffic control, sanitation and refreshment services. There wouldn’t be any overnight

They used an infrared gun to measure the exterior wall temperature. The company assessed 2,400 pieces of mechanical equipment, some of which are 15 to 20 years past their life-expectancy dates. They gave each a grade indicating functionality. More than 15 percent of the schools’ mechanical equipment earned an “F” grade. Nearly a quarter earned a “D.” The full list of the 88 projects identified by highest priority is available on the school division website. ABM said recommended upgrades will save money and “improve learning environment through improved lighting and indoor air quality.” Upgrades in the proposal include power management, water-conservation upgrades, “building envelope,” boiler- and chiller-plant upgrades and renovations to “the cube,” an area at Fauquier High School. The ABM reps said that even if utility prices rise, the changes would

save nearly 30 percent in energy use. Given the go-ahead, ABM will install LED lights first, a project expected to take about four months. Any unexpected overage would be covered by the company, excluding replacing piping, asbestos recovery or tank removal, but those issues are not anticipated. The company representatives noted they await information about several utility-provider programs that could translate to even more black ink for the school division. At meeting’s end, Shrestha asked each school board member for a “yea” or “nay” as to their “comfort level” with facts of the proposal. All said they were comfortable. “Remember, we’re going to have to do all of these [upgrades] soon enough anyway,” said School Board member Donna Grove (Cedar Run). If the plan is approved, lighting upgrades would begin in March, according to ABMs timeline, and construction completed in the summer of 2020. Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

and that restrictions would be placed on lighting. Also, staff recommends that permits be obtained to construct an entrance road to the site. The Ahmadiyya group is headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Its annual convention, or Jalsa Salana, a three-day 5,000-attendee event, was held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for the past 15 years and at the Dulles Expo Center for the 10 years before that, according to its website. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors will make the final decision on the permit application. The board will consider the planning commission’s recommendation once it’s made. The planning commission will meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17 in the first-floor meeting room of the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. The commission will also hold a public hearing that night on a special exception permit to allow a 145-foot telecommunications tower at 5060 Leeds Manor Road in Hume. A tower more than 80 feet in height requires a special exception permit. A new tower not concealed as a silo also must by surrounded by at least 100 feet of wooded area on all sides.

Revised Broadview Avenue project moves forward By Robin Earl

Contributing Writer

Warrenton’s revised Broadview Avenue project, a state-funded effort to reduce congestion and accidents on the busy thoroughfare, is moving forward. After a series of community meetings, the original plan for the road was changed and resubmitted to the Virginia Department of Transportation in October 2018. Business owners on Broadview felt the original plan – which includes a landscaped median on Broadview – would too sharply restrict access to businesses by limiting left turns to only a few median breaks. The town worked with transportation consultant Kittelson & Associates to make several adjustments and additions, including mid-block pedestrian crossings; a proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Gold Cup Drive; two-way left-turn lanes and more connections between parcels to improve access. The town also wants VDOT to consider reducing the thoroughfare’s speed limit from 40 to 35 mph. At a Jan. 10 meeting, business owners got a chance to see the final plans and suggest improvements. “This is the funded design, ready for tweaks,” said Brandie Schaffer, the Town of Warrenton’s interim town manager. “We think it meets

hearing in April.” Randy Minter of Moser’s Funeral Home expressed concern that customers “would have to make U-turns to enter Moser’s or the muffler shop” because they can’t make left turns because of the medians. “Has the impact of that been evaluated?” Minter asked, while also pointing out that smaller roads behind the businesses could see more traffic if drivers use them to avoid making U-turns on Broadview. Schaeffer said some backroads might see increased traffic and took the opportunity to discuss inter-parcel connectivity as an eventual goal. If customers could move from one business to another without having to go onto Broadview, it would improve traffic. She used BB&T, Chick-fil-a and Walgreens on Broadview as an example. Because those businesses are easily accessible to one another, it keeps some traffic off Broadview, she said. Jim Walther, whose family operates Burger King, opened a discussion on the Broadview/Route 211 intersection. He said he wants to be sure the new design won’t lead to a traffic backup at the intersection, making it difficult for patrons to get in or out of his business. In a follow-up statement after the meeting, Schaeffer explained, “There were several different options examined for the intersection to include a diverted diamond, similar to the design at 15 and 55, and early on a roundabout was eliminated as a choice. After examining multiple intersection options with VDOT and our consultant, we arrived at the current design as the best balance. The two devoted right-turn lanes will reduce stacking on Broadview and allow for the far-right lane to serve as a devoted right lane.” Schaeffer further explained, “Broadview is a challenge in the sense that it tries to be everything to everyone, so the new design takes

The scores are tied to funding for transportation projects doled out through the state’s “Smart Scale” program. Warrenton’s new plan received a slightly decreased score compared to the original, but it still qualifies for funding. The Commonwealth Transportation Board awarded the original plan for Broadview Avenue $2.59 million for roadway improvements and $2.8 million for improvements to the intersection of Broadview, Frost and West Shirley avenues. The town is contributing $1 million to the project. Construction will be completed in phases. Schaeffer said much of the work can be done at night to reduce the impact on traffic.

Gov. Northam backs plan to fund I-81 improvements with tolls By Owen FitzGerald

Capital News Service

RICHMOND — Flanked by a bipartisan group of state legislators, Gov. Ralph Northam announced plans Tuesday to move forward with legislation that would use tolls to fund improvements on Interstate 81. I-81 spans 325 miles across western Virginia, connects six metro areas and links 30 institutions of higher education. The program, known as the I-81 Corridor Improvement Fund, would be supported by tolls along the expanse of the interstate. Owners of cars and small trucks would be able to purchase an annual pass for a fixed yearly fee of $30. The money would create a dedicated funding source for I-81 improvements, as outlined in a Virginia Department of Transportation plan. The fixes would add a third lane in both directions in areas such as Winchester, Harrisonburg, Staunton and Roanoke. Other improvements would widen shoulders and make curves safer. The plan also calls for operational upgrades to improve traffic flow, especially after a crash, through technology such as traffic cameras and electronic signs to warn drivers of impending backups. The work could be finished in seven to 10 years, officials said. “Interstate 81 is the economic engine of western Virginia, and it’s time we take decisive action to enhance the safety and improve the reliability of this key corridor,” Northam said. Northam said I-81 has a “clear safety problem,” with an average of about 2,000 crashes annually, including 45 vehicular accidents that took more than four hours to clear. The chief patrons of the legislation are Sens. Mark Obenshain, R-26th, of Rockingham, and Charles Carrico, R-40th, of Grayson. Three other legislators — all Republicans with districts intersected by I-81 — are also sponsoring the proposal: Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-24th, of Augusta, Sen. Jill Vogel, R-27th, of Fauquier, and Del. Richard Bell, R-20th, of Staunton. A yearlong study by the Commonwealth Transportation Board concluded that the I-81 corridor needs $2.2 billion of improvements. The governor said these changes would prevent 450 crashes each year. The improvements seek to enhance traffic safety and reliability along the interstate, where an estimated 11 million commercial trucks

travel annually. Other interstates currently have dedicated funding sources. Regional taxes and tolls are used to fund improvements to those roadways, the governor said. The tolls implemented along the I-81 corridor, which are currently drafted at 17 cents per mile, would be among the lowest in the nation — the second cheapest east of the Mississippi River, according to Transportation Secretary Shannon Valentine. The exact price of tolls along the interstate would be determined at a later date by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The governor, along with Obenshain and Del. Steve Landes, R-25th, of Augusta, stressed that the program is designed to remove the “undue burden” of citizens who live along the I-81 corridor. “The hard-working citizens in the communities on the I-81 Corridor deserve a viable, long-term solution to the challenges of travel along this route,” Landes said. “A focus on key improvements and dedicated funding for the corridor will positively affect those who rely on it every day.” Obenshain added, “We have a tremendous opportunity to address long-standing issues on the I-81 Corridor. I will continue to work with the Northam administration and with my colleagues in the General Assembly in hope that we can find bipartisan solutions to the critical reliability and safety issues in this region of the Commonwealth.” Members of Virginia’s congressional delegation believe that I-81 needs an additional $2 billion in improvements beyond those proposed by state officials, Landes said. The additional improvements would require funding from the federal government, he said. “It’s an interstate system, not an ‘intra-state’ system,” Landes said.

Tolls on I-81? Proceed with caution, please Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced a plan Jan. 8 to add tolls on the Interstate 81 corridor between Winchester and Bristol to fund a $2.2 billion in improvements for the heavily traveled interstate. Owners of small trucks and automobiles would be able to purchase an annual unlimited pass for a fixed $30 fee under his proposal. OUR VIEW The idea for the tolls is to feed a dedicated “I-81 Corridor Improvement Fund” to fund the upgrades along the 325-mile stretch of roadway, which include adding a third lane in high-traffic areas, widening shoulders, making curves safer and adding technology to improve traffic flow. Virginia is also looking at federal money to supplement the toll revenue. Love them or hate them, the political allure of tolling is obvious. Easing or eliminating the need to raise taxes to fund expensive road improvements while shifting the cost to those who most directly use the interstates sits well with some constituents, particularly those who live in other parts of the state. Tolls also generate income from visitors and longhaul truckers who otherwise might bring little revenue to the region. Coupled with low-cost annual passes for locals, tolls would effectively raise money from those who most benefit from improvements to the northsouth route. Regional taxes and tolls have become a favorite way to fund road improvements. Northern Virginians are familiar with this strategy, which is already in practice on Interstates 95 and 66. The I-95 tolls, in place since 2014, operate in a public-private partnership with Transurban, an Australian company that describes itself as “one of the world’s largest toll-road operators.” While outsourcing toll operations is not unique, Virginia’s arrangement on the I-95 corridor has thrown up a bit of a roadblock – and thus offers a cautionary tale. While Prince William County leaders would like to ease a bottleneck on I-95’s non-tolled lanes near the Occoquan bridge – perhaps by opening a shoulder lane to traffic – the state would need to compensate Transurban for the toll revenue lost if traffic moves more quickly in the “free” lanes. Local politicians are asking the governor to renegotiate the Transurban contract for that purpose, but the idea of a governor having to go hat-in-hand to a private company to ask permission to make a simple road improvement to alleviate a traffic headache pushes the boundaries of acceptability. The quite possible outcome of his either not succeeding – or having to fork over tens of millions to reach an agreement – might be worse. As President George W. Bush was fond of telling local politicians: Fix the potholes. For all the infrastructure talk from President Donald Trump during his campaign, for a variety of reasons, little has materialized. Perhaps it is our proximity to Washington that encourages a culture of looking to someone else to pay for what we need and want. The simple fact is, nothing comes for free. No one is talking about a mix of tolled express lanes and free lanes on I-81. Still, the I-95 experience illuminates a downside of public-private tolling partnerships. There are limits to giving up self-determination to a third party whose only interest is income. Public government may be far from perfect, but at least the people retain control. Whether for I-95 or I-81, we encourage the governor and Virginia lawmakers to work together to find ways to raise money for road improvements that are truly good for taxpayers now and in the years to come. The people will feel the repercussions of those arrangements long after the politicians have moved on to their next jobs or into retirement.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES The streets of Warrenton were still covered with snow during the winter of 1948 when this tractor trailer delivering new cars to the Chevrolet dealership on Lee Street became stuck at the curb after crossing Culpeper Street.

75 Years Ago Jan. 20, 1944 At ceremonies at the Lubbock, Texas Army Air Field, Col. George W. Cutting of Warrenton pinned the silver wings on the blouse of his son, Lt. John P. Cutting, newly commissioned in the Air Force. The senior Cutting has another child in service, Cpl. Mary M. Cutting of the WAC. Members of the Warrenton Rifles, Virginia Protective Force, received service stripes upon completion of each year’s service. Two-year stripes go to Capt. L. R. Bartenstein, 1Lt. L. L. Hutchison, 2Lt. James F. Austin, Sgt. W. A. Ash, 1Sgt. C. T. Hayes, Sgt. Thomas D. Parr, Staff Sgt. James A. Robinson and Pfc. Ashby D. Taylor. Oneyear stripes go to Staff Sgt. B. E. B Hall, Supply Sgt. Philip M. Nachman, Sgt. C. W. Meetze, Sgt. William C. Robinson, Sgt. W. N. Tiffany, Cpl. William Wilbur, and Cpl. Stanley J. Brown. 50 Years Ago Jan. 23, 1969 The 60-foot smokestack at the old Warrenton Town Dump on Academy Hill Road, built in 1945, was demolished Jan. 15 by workmen of contractor N. E. Robertson. Forty-eight sticks of dynamite were used, and the shed beside the smokestack demolished. Alfred Lee Bell has been chosen by the School Board to be the first principal of the

new P.B. Smith Elementary School, one of three under construction and slated to open in the fall. Mr. Bell is currently the principal at Rhodes Elementary School in Front Royal. Marine Pfc. Marshall T. Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Campbell Sr. of Warrenton, participated in Operation Meade River in the Dodge City area, 11 miles south of Da Nang, Viet Nam. 25 Years Ago Jan. 19, 1994 Northern Virginia legislators and their aides say they are receiving a flood of phone calls from Disney supporters. “The calls have been overwhelmingly in favor of Disney,” state Del. Jay Katzen, R-31, said. A telemarketing firm since last week has been calling Northern Virginia residents in an effort to gauge their support or opposition to the Disney theme park. If the callees say they favor the park, they are then automatically connected to their lawmaker’s office.

In support of a wall and immigration reform On Jan. 8, President Donald Trump spoke to the nation. His speech lasted less than 10 minutes, but it was serious. He described a national disgrace: our insufficiently protected southern border has permitted a security threat to our country to grow and fester, resulting in crime, human trafficking, drug smuggling and increased vulnerability to terrorism. These conditions have greatly wounded our civil society and our American families. The president requested that Congress appropriate money to protect our border with a physical barrier and other human and technological resources. Members of Congress, who once saw this approach as necessary and reasonable, now refuse take the necessary legislative action to provide it. Soon after the president spoke, the speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate minority leader offered a rebuttal to the president’s request. Unfortunately, they failed to provide a coherent rationale for their refusal to support the funding the president requested. While the president focused on

border security, the Democratic members of Congress directed attention to the economic distress the shutdown is causing federal employees. It is regrettable that federal workers are affected by this standoff, and their discomfort should not be overlooked or dismissed. During my 34-year career as a federal civil servant, I experienced many shutdowns. Unpleasant as those events were, it should be remembered that the federal government does not exist primarily to provide income for federal workers. Under our Constitution, it is the duty of the legislative branch to enact laws that express our government’s policies on immigration. It is then the duty of the executive branch to see to it that those laws are faithfully carried out. For many years, our federal legislators have failed to enact a comprehensive immigration law that protects the economic and security interests of our citizens and provides for legal immigration. They must act now. Joan Caton Anthony Warrenton

Old Town’s Open Book set to open in March By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

The idea of a bookstore has been brewing in the minds of two Warrenton women for some five years. Rachel Sirene, who serves as the director of curriculum and instruction at St. James’ Episcopal School, and Cammie Fuller, who until last spring served as the school’s librarian, have been involved in children’s education for years. Books are constantly on their brains whether it’s reading to their young children or adding to their reading lists. They are book lovers. Fuller is also a writer. “Most of my critique groups are in the Washington, D.C. area,” she said, “I’d like to connect with other writers closer to this area.” Fuller smiles broadly as she describes their ongoing conversations over the years which brought them to this year. The time was right. “The idea for an independent bookstore isn’t new,” said Fuller, “we figured if no one else opened one, we’d do it.” ‘I loved it,” said Fuller of her eight years spent as the librarian at St. James’. But last spring she stepped out of that role to focus full time on research for their business. What she found only reinforced their notion of taking a leap to open a store in Old Town Warrenton. Bookstores are coming back. According to the American Booksellers Association, overall book sales across indie bookstores for 2018 increased 5 percent over 2017, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.5 percent over the past five years. According to their IndieCommerce team, online holiday shopping from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2018, saw a 21 percent increase in revenue versus the same period in 2017. The shop local movement has definitely given independent bookstores a boost across the country with many seeing a shift from e-books back to the tactile experience of holding a book, feeling the texture of its pages and all the ambiance that accompanies cuddling on the couch with a good read. For parents, taking their children to bookstores is an experience not available online. As educators, Fuller and Sirene are passionate about the worlds opened through a good book. The conversations that follow and the paths that your mind can travel. Their plan is to have a full range of categories with 7,000-10,000 volumes available. If they don’t have a title, they will order it for you. A favorite haunt for many, BJ’s Bookstore, which closed in 2014, carried used books. Their bookstore will only carry new titles. Initially, they are not planning to carry any periodicals. “We might reevaluate after the first year,” said Sirene, “but just want to focus on the art of selling new books for the present.” Fans of Old Town, there was no

question in their minds that their store would be in the heart of the community. Location. Location. When Lee Owsley moved her fairtrade store, Latitudes, to a larger location on Main Street, it left her previous location at 104 Main St. vacant. There were some rumblings that an ABC store could occupy that space. But, books prevailed over booze. And what’s a good book without a cup of coffee and a sweet thing. Enter Pablo Teodoro’s Great Harvest Bread Co., the store’s neighbor. When Latitudes was there, a doorway was created between the two establishments allowing customers to move easily between the two. The synergy benefitted both and it will no doubt do that again. “We want to focus on selling books and didn’t want to initially extend ourselves in other areas,” said Fuller, who is thrilled that they have a lease next to Great Harvest. “This is fantastic for our community,” said Amelia Stansell, who chairs Experience Old Town Warrenton. Her sentiments are echoed by Sunny Reynolds who also serves on that committee. “I’m very proud of these two women for taking this step forward,” said Reynolds. “I’m most impressed with their research…oftentimes new businesses don’t do that…I believe they will be very successful in Warrenton.” Owsley is very happy as well that her former location will now house a bookstore. “I’m very excited,” she said. For Fuller and Sirene, Lee and her husband Terry, have been very supportive. “We’re very grateful for

their assistance and help,” said Fuller who, along with Sirene, reached out to local merchants, librarians and the schools as they researched their plan. Certainly adult book clubs, writing workshops, story times and book signings are all part of the program at Old Town’s Open Book. “We believe that a bookstore can be the anchor of a community,” said Fuller who wants people to come in and linger. Her 12-year-old daughter is excited about the new normal which will be coming to the bookstore after school. “She’s already telling her friends,” said Fuller adding, “I want to be in there…helping people find a great book…it’s that human connection that you don’t get online.” Fuller and Sirene also have a silent partner in their venture. For Fuller, expect to see her face on a regular basis at the store. For Sirene, she plans to keep her position at St. James’. “I am fortunate to feel so passionately about both opportunities,” she said. Social media has been in buzz mode since word spread quickly about their venture. “Yeah! This should exponentially benefit downtown and our community as a whole,” posted businessman Tony Tedeschi who owns Piedmont Press and Graphics, “Thank you for doing this, Rachel and Cammie.” Reach Anita Sherman at asherman@fauquier.com.

ABC still considering other Warrenton sites The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is considering sites other than one on Main Street in Warrenton for a new ABC store but isn’t saying where they are located. “We are currently evaluating other sites in downtown Warrenton for a potential ABC store to determine if any of those other locations are more favorable than the previously proposed Main Street location,” said Dawn Eischen, public relations manager for the ABC. “It would be premature to disclose these other potential locations before we are able to make a site visit and evaluate the merits of each location.” She did not say when those site visits could take place. Warrenton Councilman Sean Polster (at large) said he doesn’t know what other sites ABC is considering. “I’ve not had any correspondence with the ABC for a month and a half,” he said Monday. ABC has a store in Warrenton at 175 W. Lee Highway in the Warrenton Village Shopping Center.

Living breathing art

Remington tattoo studio focused on artistry By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

About three decades ago, tattoos were viewed as less than mainstream. One wasn’t surprised when a soldier or sailor returned home with a small flag or state motto proudly inked on a youthful bicep. Beyond that, the industry had a somewhat seedy aura to it. Towns often denied permits to such establishments because they weren’t sure what went on inside, and local chambers of commerce likely had concerns about tattoo parlors’ impact on the business community. But that was then. Today, tattoos are a $1.6 billion industry; 45 million Americans have at least one, and half of all millennials sport some ink. Moreover, 36 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds are displaying, and 33 percent of urbanites and 25 percent of rural folks are decked out in living color. Three in 10 adults now proudly wear an image. By any measure, ink on skin has taken hold in the 21st century. Why? Reasons abound, with some theorizing today’s society seeks increased individuality and self-expression in the age of digital communication.

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | January 16, 2019

A tattoo immediately shares one’s creative side and breaks through the silent world of texts and emails. The art form has also evolved new terms for the ancient practice: body art, body bling, fashion ink and more. To highlight the level of popularity, the 9th Annual D.C. Tattoo Expo was held in Arlington last weekend. More than 400 tattoo artists were to attend the three-day conference to talk shop with crowds fans and tattoo those in need of a fresh rose pedal or eagle.

Black Sheep Studios

An important reason for the surging popularity in tattoos today is the technical skill and artistry being brought to bear on epidermis canvases. Joe and Jen Poteet are emblematic of a growing number of tattooists who are changing the industry’s reputation by force of their skill and creativity. Playing off the fading image of the art form, their shop, located at 204 Main St. in Remington, is called Black Sheep Studios Gallery & Tattoos. When you walk through the doors of their establishment, leave your preconceived ideas of about old-time tattoo parlors on the sidewalk. The shop is not a shop. It’s called a “studio” and for good reason. The Poteets are artists first and tattoo mavens second. If you are going to make a lifetime commitment, you want to put yourself in the hands of creative experts. Black Sheep Stu-

Artists and owners Joe and Jen Poteet often create their own unique designs like this fanciful seahorse. dios offer those hands. “I was going to school to obtain a fine-arts degree but didn’t know what I really wanted to do. Tattooing gave me a goal and a job. I got my apprenticeship at a shop in Maryland,” said Jen Poteet. “I met my husband Joe there who also was a tattoo artist. We fell in love, got married and started a family.” Today the couple has five children ranging in ages from 9 to 23 and live in nearby Sumerduck. They moved to Virginia after years of working in Maryland and opened their studio in November 2017. “We really love the area and wanted to open our own place. Remington was the perfect location with its older buildings and lots of history,” she said. “The business started off slowly and grew by word of mouth. The town and local people have been awesome in supporting the business. Today we’re seeing more people come in from throughout the county and beyond.” Poteet recalls how the industry has changed over the last three decades. Back in the ’90s, people often selected their tattoo designs off the wall of a shop. In today’s internet era, an unlimited art is available online, and customers show up knowing what they want. “We started when you often began with just a sketch. We are still old-school and do a lot of hands-on designs. Because of our experience, we can pretty much do anything anybody wants. We are classically trained artists.” Poteet observes that tattoos are not for everyone and insists their own practice is conservative. They do not do face tattoos. Recently a woman came in to have a hand tattoo done on her young daughter. “We told her we do not do hand tattoos on people under 18. We try to

get them to understand that tattoos are forever,” she said. The couple’s studio has a clean, modern look with art for sale gracing the walls, both theirs and that of others. “We have some new artists display work because they might not have an opportunity to show it elsewhere. We like to help the underdogs,” she said. Art prices range from $10 for a small print up to $200 for larger pieces. The emphasis is on colorful portraiture, geometric designs and other intriguing subjects done in a modern format. To further reinforce the inviting nature of the shop, the husband and wife team will on occasion set up their own easels in the studio and paint while customers visit.

Price tags

So what does a first-class Black Sheep tattoo go for? “The smallest design would be $50. An average one ranges from $150 to $200,” said Poteet. “Sleeves can cost a couple thousand dollars and may take several months to complete.” A sleeve tattoo extends from the shoulder down to the hand. “A sleeve is a big project. Some people do it in pieces beginning with an outline and have it colored in over time. They generally go in knowing it’s going to take a long time.” The studio will also enhance old tattoos and ones an owner may no longer care for. Relationships gone sour can dictate a visit to the studio. Walking around with a “I love Susie” tag when Susie has long vanished is not the way to enhance a memory. Black Sheep Studios Gallery & Tattoos is open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 8 p.m. If the idea of sporting some ink intrigues you, settle into their online tattoo chair at: www.blacksheepstudios.net.

Buzzo cut from familiar cloth Travis follows father as Liberty head football coach By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

A 25-year-old varsity head coach may seem young. But this coach first set foot on the sideline of Liberty High’s football field as a 3-year-old and became a water boy at age 5. By age 11, as a ball boy, he knew he wanted to one day be the Eagles’ leader. Fourteen years later, Travis Buzzo achieved that goal by accepting the job of Liberty’s new head coach Wednesday, making him only the fourth varsity football coach in the Eagles’ 26-year history. “It means the world to me,” Buzzo, a 2012 Liberty graduate, said Thursday. “This is my dream job, so it was really easy for me” to accept the offer. Buzzo replaces Sean Finnerty, who was the head coach of Class 4

Liberty from 2012-2018 before leaving in December for the same position at Class 6 Patriot High. Finnerty previously served as an Eagles assistant coach for five seasons during the 10-year head coaching tenure of Buzzo’s father, Tommy. In fact, when Travis Buzzo played offensive guard for the Eagles, Finnerty was his linemen coach and his father was the head coach. “He’s grown up in this,” said Eagles activities director Dean Spahr, who was part of a nine-person committee that interviewed candidates for Liberty’s job opening. “He knows the community. He knows football. He learned a lot from his Dad, went to college and is giving back to the place that sent him to college.” See BUZZO, Page 19

“There is North Carolina vs. Duke, Cowboys vs. Redskins and Highland vs. Wakefield.” – OWLS COACH AL FORD

Al Ford experienced the Wakefield-Highland boys basketball rivalry for the first time Saturday, and the game didn’t disappoint. Although his Owls lost 75-70, the game featured a thrilling fourth quarter and required overtime for the Hawks to win. “This is what basketball is all about,” Ford, Wakefield’s first-year head coach, said. “This is what we live for. I thought this was great. “There is North Carolina vs. Duke, Cowboys vs. Redskins and Highland vs. Wakefield,” he said. As the rivalry often has in recent years, it took more than the 32 minutes to determine the winner Saturday in The Plains. With 40.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, senior guard Spencer Harman drilled a 3-pointer from the corner for Wakefield (10-4 overall, 4-1 Delaney Athletic Conference) to tie the game 66-66. Then the Owls played tough defense to force overtime. But, in the extra period, Highland seniors Cam Timmons and Darret Justice combined for nine points to keep the Hawks undefeated in the DAC at 5-0 with an 11-3 record overall. “We knew coming in here would be crazy,” Highland head coach Brian Hooker said. “The past couple years have been crazy games. I think this is the second overtime game in three years here.” The Owls controlled the game early with junior guard Kaleb Tor-

rence scoring six of their first seven points. He had 11 in the first quarter to help them take an 18-8 lead. “We practiced to try and get to the point where we can start a game like that,” said Ford, whose starting lineup consists of three seniors and two juniors. “We should be able to play with composure. ... We want to start to play like veterans.” Wakefield used a 7-0 run in the middle of the second quarter to keep Highland at distance. Hawks sophomore Jalen Jasper drained a long 3-pointer and Timmons scored six consecutive points, but still Wakefield held a 29-20 lead heading to halftime. See HAWKS, Page 19

15 county wrestlers go unbeaten

Weather shortens FHS track trip to Hampton By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Mother nature cost Kettle Run an opportunity to wrestle for the championship Saturday at the Heritage Duals. Tournament administrators approached Cougars coach Mike Foy prior to the semifinals to say they believed the meet would go the full five rounds. Ostensibly, the weather conditions worsened more quickly than anticipated to lead to the early conclusion of the 12-school tournament. Kettle Run romped through pool action with a triad of lopsided victories to reach the semifinals. The Cougars destroyed Potomac Falls, 72-0, Clarke County, 60-12, and Heritage, 65-6. Then, in the semifinals, they beat Riverside 57-21. “We were having a great day,” Foy said. Seven of his wrestlers finished the day unbeaten. Going 4-0 each were Matt McLaughlin (106/113 pounds), Logan Hall (113/120), Zane O’Connor (120/126), A.J. Breeding (132/138), Alex Smith (138/145), Gabe Chumley (170) and Matt Jawan (182).

Kettle Run’s Alex Smith went 4-0 Saturday during the Heritage Duals. at the nationally-known tournament. They beat Lexington (South Carolina) 43-24 before dropping into the consolation bracket with a 38-29 loss to Haddonfield (New Jersey). Fauquier then beat First Colonial 40-29 before ending the tournament with a 47-21 loss to St. Mary’s Ryken (Maryland). Kevin McEachin (170 pounds) and Sam Fisher (182) both finished 4-0, while Gino Camarca (132) went 3-1. Liberty, meanwhile, competed in the third-tier Black and Blue Division, compiling a 1-2 record. The Eagles began with a 48-30 win over Smithfield, lost to Ocean Lakes 37-33 in the quarterfinal round and lost to Poquoson 44-33 in their first consolation match. Finishing 3-0 each were Mason Barrett (106), Bryan Contreras (132), Caleb Swinson (160), Royce Hall (182/195), Justin Cannon (195/220) and Willie Phipps (285). On Jan. 19, Fauquier will travel to the United States Marine Corps Challenge at Colonial Forge High School, while Liberty will compete at the Strasburg Duals and Kettle Run will wrestle in the Handley Invitational.

The Fauquier Falcons had two primary reasons for making a two-day sojourn to Hampton for the Southeastern District track invitational at the Boo Williams Sportsplex. They wanted to face top-notch competition and increase their number of state-qualifying athletes. They met both goals Friday and Saturday as the challenging event fueled five new state-cut times with two previously-qualified athletes significantly improving their marks. “Very impressed with the kids,” Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said. “Those kids did a lot of running over the winter break.” The girls 3,200-meter relay team of Madeleine Hayes, Kelsey Gastley, Shelby Rosenberger and Annie DelGallo placed second in a state time of 10 minutes, 12.23 seconds. Patrick Atwell also guaranteed himself a slot in the mid-February Class 4 state meet with his bronze-medal leap of 43 feet, 6.5 inches in the triple jump. Kayla Pavlock was a previous state-qualifier in the shot put, but her throw Friday of 38-5.5 was nearly three feet better than her previous best of the winter. Nick Matthews won the 1,000 in 2:34.82 (state cut) while Gastley placed third in the girls 1,000 at 3:10.85 and Hayes ran the 500 in 1:21.82 (state cut) to finish seventh. Atwell cut more than three seconds off his previous state time in the boys 500 for second in 1:95.33.

Jones believed the weather cost his program potential state-qualifiers in at least two other girls races. Worried about road conditions for the lengthy return trip, the Falcons missed the 300, 3,200 and 1,600 relay. “We really wanted to stay, but I was glad we got out of there when we did,” Jones said, adding that road conditions deteriorated as Fauquier neared home. Other Falcon scorers in the meet were Sarah Saas (fourth, pole vault, 7-0), John Paccassi (fifth, 1,600, 4:36.68), Rosenberger (sixth, 1,600, 5:43.03) and the girls 800-meter relay of Cammi Winston, Cammy Bland, Sydney Trussel and Morgan Pletch (seventh, 1:53,61).

Liberty’s productive weekend

The Liberty Eagles competed at two different venues during the weekend. On Friday, in the Liberty Elite Invitational at Liberty University, sophomore Sam Rodman finished seventh out of 101 runners in the 1,600 at the high-level meet in 4:43.88. On Satruday, in the Fred Hardy Invitational at Fork Union, Liberty’s boys and girls 800 relay teams both placed fourth. Jake Waldo, Jordon Mighty, Nathan Lilly and Darrion Allen finished in 1:43.09, while Bianca Purpura, Claire Duckworth, Kristeena Kenny and Olivia Stith ended in 1:58.61. Kenny also took fifth in the 55 (7.80 seconds) with Purpura sixth in the long jump at 14-4.25.

Timmons scores 20 2nd-half points to spark Highland rally HAWKS, from Page 15 “I didn’t think we really came out to play early,” Hooker said. The Owls “did a couple different things early on defensively to slow us down and credit to them for that.” But “we don’t point fingers when things get down,” he said. “That showed tonight.” In the third period, Highland put up 25 points, but Wakefield senior Luke Finkbeiner (11 points) hit three 3-pointers in the quarter to keep the Owls clinging to a 50-45 lead. “There was a point where I yelled at my guys for trading baskets,” Ford said. “We are disappointed in giving up that many points in a quarter.” Midway through the fourth period, Highland finally grasped its first lead of the game with a Jalen Jasper 3-pointer. “We knew tough times would hit and we knew we were going to win the game if we stuck together,” said

Jasper, who finished the afternoon with six 3-pointers. “Once I hit one after missing a couple it really helped and I felt like I could make anything.” While his 3-pointers helped Highland snag the lead, Timmons’ play in the low block sustained it. Wakefield didn’t have an answer for the 6-foot10 big man, especially when its tallest player, 6-4 Marcel White, faced

foul trouble. “We have to try and get the ball in the post when we can,” Hooker said. “I thought everyone did a better job of being aware of that matchup with Cam” late in the game. After a slow start, Timmons dominated the paint and had a game-high 28 points, with 20 during the second half and overtime.

“My teammates and my coaches kept me in the game,” he said. “They told me they were going to keep feeding me and weren’t going to give up on me. “I believed in it,” he said. “In the third quarter I felt like we had everything clicking. If we play like we did in the second half I feel like we can go all the way.” Torrence (27 points) did his best to keep the Owls close down the stretch, going 8-for-10 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter and overtime. Highland, however, took the lead for good with the first points in overtime and Justice (17 points), a senior captain, kept the Hawks on top by calmly nailing 3-of-4 free throws. “We have a thin bench and we got in foul trouble,” Ford said. “To have [White] in foul trouble so early in a game against a quality 6-10 guy really crippled us. There was just a little too much for us without Marcel in the game.”

Creating ‘safe zones’ from human trafficking ‘Just Ask Prevention’ aims to safeguard children, communities By Anita L. Sherman

Upcoming Events

Community Editor

Human trafficking. It’s not a pretty or pleasant subject but one the Fauquier Chamber embraced at its first business luncheon of 2019 held Wednesday, Jan. 9. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, in 2016 there were more than 7,500 cases of human trafficking reported in the U.S. The number represents only a percentage of the actual cases, as many go unreported. And each year, the number grows. More than 100,000 children are exploited annually in the United States. While Fauquier County is not high on the radar screen in terms of incidents of human trafficking, it is also not immune. Championing local efforts to bring awareness to the issue is Amelia Stansell, a banker by trade with Middleburg Bank, but also a mother of two daughters and a community advocate serving on several local boards and organizations, including the Rotary Club. It was at a Rotary Club conference that she was introduced to Bill Woolf and his nonprofit, “Just Ask Prevention.” Stansell said she feels called to champion the cause. Woolf was the keynote speaker at the Chamber event. “It was a faith call for Amelia and a faith call to me,” said Woolf, a former Fairfax County police officer and the father of six children, ranging in age from 2-13. “I believe in saving young people,” he continued, “and believe that human trafficking is a public-health crisis.” As a police officer, Woolf said he found himself working with victims over and over again, prompting him to create Just Ask Prevention, a multidisciplinary team with experience in fighting trafficking and other forms of exploitation and focused on protecting communities and assisting victims. Bringing awareness to the face of human trafficking is what Woolf is passionate about doing. That face has changed and doesn’t resemble what you think it might. For most of us, hu-

Getting the word out about human trafficking has its champions. These three have been instrumental in those efforts. Pictured left to right, Middleburg Bank Vice President Amelia Stansell, Just Ask Prevention Executive Director Bill Woolf and Be the Change Foundation Chairman Marianne Clyde. man trafficking conjures up young girls forced into cars or stolen from parents in faraway countries. It’s not something we think can happen during a school day in Northern Virginia. But it does. Recruiters and scouts can be friends, boyfriends or girlfriends whom young people engage with on the internet. Voices can be disguised, motives misleading and outcomes tragic. Traffickers search for victims on social media, in shopping malls, at bus stops, in schools or through friends. They may be good listeners, buy presents and treat their victims well until they become trapped. Human trafficking is the secondlargest criminal enterprise in the world. “It could surpass the drug trade,” said Woolf, “there’s more money involved.” The average age of exploitation in the United States is 12 to 15. “Statistically, one in five teenagers will be approached by a trafficker,” said Woolf. “Are they prepared?” Woolf praised Sheriff Bob Mosier and Fauquier County for their open-

ness and willingness to partner. “Your community is very, very unique…you are lucky to have Sheriff Mosier,” said Woolf, “but it takes more than law enforcement…it takes a community response…the more you hear about it echoed in the community…then people will pay attention.” Safeguarding communities through partnerships is what Woolf has found most effective. To date, Just Ask Prevention has worked with some 900 organizations, led hundreds of training sessions for educators, counselors, retailers, hospitality, transportation, first responders, healthcare and others. It has also developed a school-age curriculum used schools across the country. Woolf currently works with the Boys and Girls Clubs and the WARF and would like to bring curriculum to the Fauquier County schools. Stansell orchestrated several community conversations at the end of last year on the issue of human trafficking that were well attended. Speakers included Mosier, Woolf, a representative

from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a speaker from the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Initiative and a compelling account from a mother of a trafficking survivor. Another community conversation will take place Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Auburn Middle School. Woolf encourages any high school student to attend a Just Ask Youth Cares Conference on human trafficking that will be held Feb. 2 in Springfield. “Traffickers are opportunistic,” said Woolf. “They count on lack of knowledge and awareness…we just need to get out in front of it.” Reach Anita Sherman at asherman@fauquier.com

Fact? Fiction?

What your grandma said about catching cold out in the cold may not be true. (Though what your dad told you about hot whiskey may make you feel better, regardless.) By Roxanna Beebe-Center Special to the Fauquier Times

A cough in the middle of cold season strikes fear in the hearts of cubicle-mates like the first volley in a battle. Co-workers cringe and watch – holding their collective breath (which turns out is a reasonable, if not sustainable, defense) – as millions of germs launch themselves into the air, looking for somebody else to infect. A tangle of old wives’ tales and home remedies get tossed around. Whether it’s your great-grandmother’s special brew – Vick’s VapoRub and fresh ginger, or the hot whiskey and lemon “cure” your father swears by, how do we know what to believe? Humans have often been afraid of the elements, but we’ve often been wrong. For instance, we’re warned that the common cold comes from, well, the cold. Moms and grandmoms tell the kids not to go outside without their hats, and never to sit in drafts. And everyone knows the old rule about not going outside out with wet hair. In truth, doctors reassure us that bad weather is not the cause of the common cold, though it can make you miserable, and slightly more susceptible to catching one. There is some evidence that cold weather can tamper with the ability of the immune system to fight off viruses. And, like your elders warned, if you have been exposed to a cold virus and are outside underdressed or with wet hair, you might be more prone

to getting sick. What causes the common cold are rhinoviruses or coronaviruses, say experts. And a virus can only be transmitted when a person comes in contact with it, by being sneezed on, by touching a handle someone sick has touched. So, what they told you about keeping your hands to yourselves turns out to be quite true. There’s no “cure” for the common cold, explains Dr. Charles Stein, pediatrician at Wellspring Health Services. Like any grandma would, Stein prescribes hot liquids – tea, soup, warm water with lemon – to relieve cold symptoms. Hot liquids “don’t help you get over it, but they may help ease your symptoms. So, you may feel better, they may help your congestion, and things like that. “But I don’t know anything that will make the cold just go away. Your body’s immune system fights that off, and that’s how you get over it.” The only realistic thing you can do for a cold, according to Stein, is run a humidifier in your room at night. Use of nasal saline products can be helpful, and of course sleep and consuming lots of fluids is essential, he says. The main reason not to go out in winter without a hat? Not because you’ll catch cold, but you’ll be cold, Stein maintains.

Other myths, debunked

Drinking coffee won’t stunt your growth, and carrots won’t give you X-ray vision. A few more health myths, debunked:

PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

Going out without a hat? Brace yourself for a cold reception from your mom. • The old aphorism “starve a fever, feed a cold” is nonsense. With rare exception, one of the best things to do when you have either is to maintain a regular diet, say doctors. “Even though you may not feel like eating, your body actually requires more calories when you’re sick to heal properly and quickly.” • You need sunblock, even in winter. No matter what the weather is like, you should be diligent about applying sun protection all year round. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed areas of skin if you’re going to be outside for long, even in winter

A history of horses, captured on film Couple donates historical collection of photos to Middleburg museum By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

Warrenton residents Jo and Judith Tartt have donated their collection of more than 160 photographs illustrating the relationship between the horse and photography to the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg. A number of the photographs were part of an exhibition at the museum in 2017, and Jo Tartt said he and his wife’s experience in working with the museum’s staff, particularly curator Claudia Pfeiffer, was a significant factor in their decision to donate the collection to the NSLM. “Claudia was so interested in it and such a pleasure to work with,” Jo Tartt said. “I think it’s a great museum and the perfect repository for these photographs. It’s about the horse and the camera, and it’s the relationship between photographer and horses, especially as photography developed.” Pfeiffer, the NSLM’s George L. Ohrstrom Jr. curator of art, said she and the staff are still “noodling on all the ways we can use this wonderful gift.” About a dozen photographs will be incorporated into an upcoming exhibition called “NSLMology,” focusing on the science of sporting art that opens on April 12. “It’s a wonderful, concise view of the photographic medium and the way horses have been used over the years,” she added. “We’ll use it in a lot of ways – research, fodder for other exhibitions and we’ll also digitalize it. It’s a fabulous collection.” The photos were assembled over a 20-year period by Jo Tartt, an art dealer specializing in fine 19th and 20th century photographs since 1981, and his wife, Judith, one of the nation’s preeminent art restorers. They viewed thousands of images and chose only those that met a high standard of historical significance, good photographic aesthetics and good condition. All types of photographic prints are represented: the daguerreotype, ambrotype and tintype; salt print, albumen print, cyanotype and gelatin silver print; personal vernacular albums, historical images, artistic images and news photographs. There are 19th and 20th century photographs from the U.S., Russia, China, Japan, Germany, England, France and the Middle East. A number of famous horses are in the collection, including Man-OWar, Secretariat, Citation, Native Dancer, Whirlaway, Bold Ruler, Seattle Slew and Sea Biscuit’s famous win against War Admiral. Many images were taken by fa-

And a number of luminaries are also the subject of some of the photos, including Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, the Crown Prince of Japan, The King of England, President Ronald Reagan, Arthur Godfrey, first lady Jackie Kennedy and the funeral parades for Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Muybridge’s breakthrough work on a horse in motion is included in the collection.

Muybridge was hired by the entrepreneur and horse breeder Leland Stanford to settle a bet about whether or not all four hooves of a galloping horse were simultaneously off the ground at any time during the sequence of the gait. The question was a photographic paradox. In the 1870s, the medium remained an inherently slow and precise process. But Muybridge devised an industrious and pioneering setup of 12 large-format, glass-plate cameras spaced apart. He outfitted the cameras with innovative and reliable shutters of his own design, tripwires and plates coated with an extremely light-sensitive emulsion. The combination made a 1/500th-second expo-

sure possible. The technological breakthrough led to a cascade of other camera and film innovations within the following decades, for both consumer-grade and professional equipment and film. Tartt said the museum will be displaying the photographs in a variety of ways, including new exhibitions in the future. “We’re thrilled to do it,” he said. Reach Len Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com

Get ready for spring planting at education farm By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

In 2018, the Fauquier Education Farm in Warrenton donated 55,024 pounds of produce to food banks in Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Prince William counties. The farm’s 11.5-acre property on Meetze Road provides the opportunity to explore new methods for anyone interested in learning more about growing their own food. It offers a beginning farmer and rancher program and provides tours for local schools geared toward agriculture and conservation. Now, as a new year begins, the Fauquier Education Farm will present a workshop called “It’s Time to Start Planning” on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Barn at Lord Fairfax Community College in Warrenton. Jim Hankins, executive director of the farm, said the workshop will take participants “through the full calendar year in the garden, with suggestions about what you should be planting and when each crop will produce at its best.” Planting-season workshops begin in mid-May and continue twice each month through October at the Meetze Road farm. Subjects will include: Soil; It’s Alive; Lazy Bed Production; Organic No-Till; 3-D Deer Fencing; Cut Flower Basics; Culinary Herbs; Seedless Watermelons; Fall Planted/ Spring Harvest (garlic and strawberries) and Pumpkins. So, happy growing.

Incubator seeking new farmers

In other agriculture news, the Fauquier Education Farm is recruiting up to three candidates this winter to run their own small-scale farm plots there. Applications will be taken until March 1. Preference will be given to prior students in the Northern Piedmont Beginning Farmer Program and military veterans. The education farm’s incubator program is in its second year, and Executive Director Jim Hankins called it “a chance to get your feet wet in farming without the expense and risk of leasing a large plot of land.” Giving new farmers an opportunity “to have a real-world proving ground, to prove their concept, is important,” Hankins explained. “There’s a tremendous amount of work that has to be done to become a successful farmer, much more than people realize. For instance, one of last year’s participants decided right away that it wasn’t working for them.” The education farm is part of Virginia Cooperative Extension’s Beginning Farmer and Rancher program. Participants pay a small annual fee to lease a quarter-acre of land and are provided with trays of some of the vegetable plants already being raised on the farm. Irrigation, deer fencing and limited access to farm equipment such

The would-be farmers meet with Hankins for agricultural and marketing advice every other week and are expected to complete a beginning-farmer education program in their first year. The incubator program is a threeyear commitment and allows participants to gain experience in many situations, not just a good or a bad year, Hankins said. “We expect folks to have at least the beginning of a marketing plan,” he added. “And we’ll revisit that each year. Because you can’t set

marketing ahead of production, but you can’t forget about marketing and just focus on production. They go hand in hand. “It’s so easy to end up with 40,000 pounds of tomatoes with nowhere to deliver them, and they’re going to last two to three days at best,” he added. “And then, you’ve got a mess.” Reach Vicky Moon at vickyannmoon@aol.com

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PETITION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER E, FOR RECOVERY OF COSTS INCURRED TO COMPLY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS CASE NO. PUR-2018-00195 •Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider E, for recovery of costs incurred to comply with state and federal environmental regulations. •Dominion requests approval of a total revenue requirement of approximately $113,650,000 for its 2019 Rider E. According to Dominion, this amount would increase the bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by $2.15. •The Commission will hear the case on June 11, 2019. •Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. On December 14, 2018, pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 5 e of the Code of Virginia and the State Corporation Commission’s (“Commission”) Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the Commission a petition (“Petition”) for approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider E, for the recovery of costs incurred to comply with state and federal environmental regulations. According to the Petition, the Company seeks cost recovery for certain environmental projects (collectively, “Environmental Projects”) located at the Company’s Chesterfield Power Station, Clover Power Station and Mt. Storm Power Station (collectively, “Power Stations”). According to the Company, the Environmental Projects are required for the Company to comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) “Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System; Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals From Electric Utilities; Final Rule” (“CCR Rule”). The Company states that to comply with the CCR Rule, it is required to close or retrofit certain coal ash ponds and certain water treatment basins and flue gas desulfurization sludge ponds that contain coal ash at its coal-fired power stations. In addition, the Company asserts that compliance with the EPA’s Steam Electric Power Generating Effluent Guidelines is also a driver of certain of the Environmental Projects. The Company seeks recovery of three general categories of costs: (i) actual costs associated with closure of existing assets (such as a coal ash pond) at the Power Stations; (ii) actual and projected costs associated with newly constructed assets necessary to allow the Power Stations to continue to operate in compliance with environmental laws and regulations; and (iii) actual and projected costs associated with Asset Retirement Obligations for the newly constructed assets. In this proceeding, Dominion asks the Commission to approve Rider E for the rate year beginning November 1, 2019, and ending October 31, 2020 (“2019 Rate Year”). The Company states that the three components of the revenue requirement are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor, the Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”) Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company requests a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $94,612,000, an AFUDC Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $19,038,000, and an Actual Cost True Up Factor revenue requirement of $0. Thus, the Company proposes a total revenue requirement of $113,650,000 for service rendered during the 2019 Rate Year. The Company indicates that included in this revenue requirement is the amortization over the 2019 Rate Year of certain deferred costs (including financing costs) (“Deferral Balance”) incurred prior to the beginning of the 2019 Rate Year. The Company states that the 2019 Rate Year revenue requirement assuming a three-year or five-year amortization of the Deferral Balance would be $62,628,000 and $52,424,000, respectively. For purposes of calculating the revenue requirement in this case, Dominion states that it utilized a rate of return on common equity of 9.2%, which was approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUR-2017-00038. Dominion proposes that Rider E be effective for usage on and after November 1, 2019. If the proposed Rider E for the 2019 Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider E on November 1, 2019, would increase the monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $2.15. The Company states that, alternatively, the lower revenue requirements assuming a three-year or five-year amortization of the Deferral Balance would result in a monthly bill increase for a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month of approximately $1.18 or $0.99, respectively. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Petition and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Petition and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on June 11, 2019, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Petition from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff.

Copies also may be obtained by submitting a written request to counsel for the Company, Lisa S. Booth, Esquire, Dominion Energy Services, Inc., 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

On the road with Sunny Reynolds By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Is traveling on your bucket list for 2019? Perhaps you can picture yourself in a cozy tent on safari in Tanzania or sipping port in Portugal. Enjoy Darwin’s “The Voyage of the Beagle?” Then you’ll love the Galapagos Islands ... better by catamaran. Chile has ice-covered volcanoes. And then there’s Cuba with its Spanish architecture, white sandy beaches, cigars and rum. All these global destinations can be yours with a visit to Biotrek Adventure Travels behind the purple door at 81 Main St. in Warrenton. When she’s not leading one of her intimate, small-group tours, you’ll usually find owner Sunny Reynolds perched at her desk at the top of the stairs, surrounded by books, neat artifacts and photographs. In fact, outside her office is a large gallery with many photographs and works of art. That’s her Studio 19 Photography. For 30 years, Reynolds has garnered a reputation as an award-winning, first-class photographer. Many of her works can be found in corporate America. She’s taught photography, published and has an eye behind the lens that captures color, light and form like few others. Her love of discovery and new paths led her to start Biotrek Adventure Travels in 1991, so she’s been at that for nearly as long. The two go hand in hand – traveling and carrying a camera -- but in Sunny you’ll get a double dose of not only professionalism but personal care. She tailors her trips for adventurers, keeps her groups small and creates memorable tours for those who prefer a unique experience. There’s nothing cookie-cutter about her agendas. “I began Biotrek so that I could share travel experiences my way, by creating tours for people who hate organized travel packages,” she says. “I scout everything out…I know where we are staying, who our guide will be and I offer flexibility…you can do that with a smaller group,” she says with her characteristic laugh. As a local businesswoman, Reynolds stays involved in the community when she isn’t on one of her treks. She chairs Experience Old Town Warrenton’s design committee and was instrumental in orchestrating the town’s LOVE sign. She’s also on the board of the Gloria Faye Dingus Music Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to providing instruments and music to children in need. “We’re very excited about the new venue,” said Reynolds of Gloria’s, which will celebrate a grand opening in February at 92 Main St., near Drum and Strum. Ever engaged in new things, Reynolds has most recently gotten involved with the Germanna Foundation where she serves on a part-time basis as their development officer. Reynolds attended a ground-breaking toward the end of

FAUQUIER FOCUS last year in Orange where a new facility will be built close to the site of Fort Germanna, once the westernmost outpost of colonial Virginia. The foundation also owns a stretch

of land along the Rappahannock River in Fauquier County, which Reynolds hopes will one day be open to the public. For decades, Reynolds has been a fixture in Warrenton, whether you’re meeting her for coffee, chatting about local politics or better yet, planning an adventure. Her enthusiasm, energy and vitality are hard to ignore. In March, Reynolds heads to India. Travel trips in 2019 include Portugal, Peru, the Galapagos Islands, Tanzania, Cuba and Chile. What’s on your bucket list? Visit www.biotrekadventuretravels.com for some ideas.

er forecasters are predicting snow. (Keep in mind I have to submit my articles a week in advance.) Depending on what weather station you listen to, the forecast is anywhere from 2 to 8 inches of snow. My hope is that if and when we do get a snowstorm this winter that everyone will be safe, drive slowly, be considerate of vehicles on the road and lastly keep our first responders in our thoughts as they respond to our emergencies. On a lighter note, I found this quote and just thought I would share is with you: “We are all like a snowflake. All different in our own beautiful way.” Author unknown.

Seminar to focus on home healthcare Our communities are yet again saddened by the passing of Cindy Barron Jeffries, Mary O’Bannon and Debbie Peyton Stewart. Please pray for their families and friends that are going to miss them deeply. As our society grows older and lives longer, the need for home healthcare grows, too. The Women’s Group at Middleburg United Methodist Church, at 15 W. Washington St., in Middleburg, is sponsoring a free seminar on Jan. 19 (snow date Jan. 26), from 1 to 3 p.m., featuring certified healthcare industry experts, to discuss medical, financial, and legal options, as well as available community resources. “Where Do We Begin: A Guide to Elder Caregiving,” a 50-page guidebook containing additional information, is available for purchase for $7. You do not have to purchase the book to attend the seminar. The book contains legal and medical forms, decision making tools, financial guides, and health care contacts. We encourage everyone who wants to be better prepared for when health issues become more challenging for themselves or their loved ones to attend. Even though registration is not required and everyone is welcome, the group would appreciate it if you let them know if you plan to attend. Please contact Jan Coxwell at 540-533-4033. Refresh-

Lots happening in the Town of Remington At the Remington Town Council meeting last week, there were few citizens/residents present. However, Joanne Smoot, commander of the local Remington American Legion Post 247, invited the town council to attend the “Four Chaplains Sunday” memorial set for Feb. 3 from 1-3 p.m. More information is available online at www.alpost247.org. Also, the Northern Virginia Region JROTC Competition will be at Liberty High School on Jan. 26 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. This writer also spoke before the Remington Town Council, asking them to consider waiving strict water cut-offs regulations for those water users employed by federal departments and agencies, which are currently in shut-down mode. The main topic for consideration and voting by the Remington Town Council last week was the problem property at 200 North Franklin Street (at the corner of East Madison Street.) The council took action to have the building demolished. The next Remington Town Council meeting will be on Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. to consider results of the Virginia Department Transportation’s East Main Street traffic study. It appears that some town council members are of the opinion that more parking space is needed and that the downtown street traffic should be left as it is currently functioning. There are also considerations that the East Main Street become a oneway street, that public parking be restricted by business owners and residents, and/or that metered parking be installed. Mark Nesbit of VDOT and Chris Butler, Lee District Supervisor, Fauquier County Board of Supervisors are expected to be present at the Feb. 4 town council meeting. The regular Remington trash pick-up of Friday, Jan. 18, will be deferred to Tuesday, Jan. 22. This is due to the Lee-Jackson and MLK holidays on Jan. 18 and Jan. 21 respectively.

The family has requested that you think of this day as a day on, not a day off. There are many ways to serve the community on this special day. Have a wonderful week!

Remembering two longtime Hume residents Brrr! Winter has finally showed its face for us. My dog does not care for wind and even though she begged to be let out, she quickly asked to be let back inside where it was warm. The kitties are snuggled in their beds. The Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department held its monthly meeting this week. Work is progressing on the new station with a target date for “move-in” set for early March. Some work will still need to be to be completed, so no breakfasts or fundraisers can be held yet. In other business, Charlotte Cottrill was recognized for five years of membership. Wendy and Terry Hodgson were welcomed as new members. If you have always wanted

Pres Wright survived his 13 brothers and sisters and lived to see his 93rd birthday. Pres was always a farmer who spent many years employed at White House Farm and then more than 30 years at Marriott Ranch. He was an active member of the Leeds Ruritan Club for decades where he always helped with selling those raffle tickets and maintaining the grounds at the Ruritan Park in Hume. Pres was ordained a deacon at the Hume Baptist Church where he was a lifelong member. Many delightful memories of his love for his family, his strong work ethic and his community service were shared with those attending his final services last weekend. Mrs. Clara Poles, a sweet lady who had passed her 94th birthday, died at her home in Hume following a short illness. We recall a great sto-

ry that she told when she displayed a quilt at the Orlean Christmas celebration several years ago. She was asked how she became interested in quilting. Her reply with a gentle smile was that her husband wanted to watch football on TV and wanted her to sit with him. She really did not care for football and she had to do something, so she started quilting! By the way, the quilt was really pretty and is now owned by a favorite relative. Miss Clara was an active member of Beulah Baptist Church, Markham, where she will be greatly missed. We found a delightful and meaningful explanation of how we can be happy given by a lady who was more than 100 years old. Just to share: 1. Free your heart from hatred; 2. Free your mind from worries; 3. Live simply; 4. Give more; 5. Expect less.

Inspection for Damage Prevention

Heavy, wet snows, wind, ice and rain. That’s winter. It’s not uncommon to see a lot of limbs down on properties after serious winter storms. Cleanup takes care of the debris, but an arborist should make a careful inspection of the trees and shrubs on your property to ensure that the damage they have sustained during the harsh weather will not cause problems later. Heavy snows may have injured the trunks and branches of trees. Splits may occur in multi-stemmed plants that may need cabling and bracing or pruning to eliminate the weakened branches. Leaning trees, trees that are subject to high wind loading (top heavy) or trees on sloping ground are susceptible to root failure. The buttress roots should be inspected carefully. It’s worthwhile to protect your investment in your landscape with inspections to avoid expensive tree and shrub replacements later on. A program of managed health care for trees and shrubs involves regular inspections throughout the year by a professional arborist – to identify and correct conditions before they reach the “crisis” stage. If you have any questions from this article or would like to schedule a property inspection, please contact me at cherrell@bartlett.com, (540)-364-2401. or 1-877-BARTLET

No one is more aware of the shock and grief that comes with hearing of the death of a loved one than those who must deliver the news. The person on whom this responsibility falls may want to create a list and divide it with someone else of equal standing in the family. In any case, it may be a good idea to have someone else present when making the calls. Consideration should also be given to the fact that, as difficult as it is to disseminate such news, it may be more traumatic to receive it. With this in mind, it may be preferable to deliver the news in person when circumstances allow. It is our mission to provide support and guidance in recognizing a life well-lived and to assist our community in celebrating the memories of their loved ones. In doing this, we will care for each family with respect and dignity, as if they were our own. A funeral service can mark the significance of the life that was lived.
