During shutdown, nonprofits step up By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Road corridor,” Smith said. “The entrance is also too close to a blind curve, which could be dangerous and lead to accidents.” The site is within the district Smith represents on the planning commission. A staff report presented at the start of the hearing estimates Meetze Road would see a 50-percent increase in traffic around the time of the Jalsa Salana, resulting in a total of 2,000 trips on the road a day. County staff predicted the other three retreats would generate a 10-percent increase, resulting in 420 daily trips. The inability of two-lane Meetze Road to handle the traffic of the four events was mentioned repeatedly by those in opposition, who made up the majority of the 37 people who spoke during the public hearing.

Life disruptions and stresses caused by the federal government shutdown are as unique as the people experiencing them. Shirley Miller has been a program manager at the Environmental Protection Agency for 25 years. The wife and mother of three was at home on Tuesday, catching up on computer work and doctor appointments and driving the kids around, “making lemonade out of lemons.” Miller, who lives in the Bristow and Gainesville area, is a longtime member of Oak Shade Baptist Church in Catlett. “People have been sharing with us where you can get food in the area, where you can get a loan – above and beyond helpful,” she said. Miller has been filling out substitute teaching applications and is considering working in a friend’s tea room. “I’m not above making ends meet to take care of my family,” she said. Her family is living frugally, dependent entirely upon her husband’s non-government salary. “It’s a hardship, missing a paycheck when you’re a homeowner with three kids,” she said. “But my mother and grandmother taught me to live ‘beneath your means.’ We’ve always been frugal.” On Miller’s to-do list is calling her family’s health insurance company, issued through her job. “We haven’t received any information from them, and they obviously aren’t being deducted from my paycheck, since there is no paycheck.” One local government employee – a passport specialist – is enduring a different kind of stress. She hasn’t lost any income due to the furlough. “Our source of funding comes entirely from passport fees, so we’re not affected.” But the employee, who has to remain anonymous because “we were instructed not to talk to the press about the furlough” accepted a job at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington,

Members of the Fauquier County Planning Commission discuss a special-exception permit for an Islamic retreat site on farmland outside Warrenton.

Planning Commission votes against permit for Islamic retreat site near Warrenton By James Ivancic and Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writers

Concerns about maintaining Fauquier County’s rural character and questions about whether twolane Meetze Road can accommodate large events prompted the Fauquier County Planning Commission to vote unanimously last Thursday against a request to hold four annual Islamic retreats on farmland outside Warrenton. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community applied for a special-exception permit to hold its Jalsa Salana, or annual convention, and three additional yearly events on seven parcels totaling 515 acres near Meetze and Turkey Run roads. The group, based in Silver Spring, Maryland, has a contract to purchase the property for the events, the

the planning commission Thursday, Jan. 17, for a public hearing and possible vote. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors will have the final say on the application, if members of the Ahmadiyya Community decide to go forward. In his motion to recommend the application’s denial, Planning Commissioner Matthew Smith (Cedar Run) said the events would be inconsistent with the county’s comprehensive plan, which aims to preserve agricultural areas and rural character. He also said the retreats would “adversely affect” neighboring property owners because of visual impact, noise, light and traffic. “The proposed use would generate additional traffic that would have a negative impact on the existing and anticipated traffic on the Meetze

New license plates support recovery Nonprofits that help Virginians recovering from substance abuse disorders need money to support their work. Now some are launching a new license plate to help with that goal. “Recovery Matters” is the slogan featured on the new license plate. SpiritWorks, which is based in Williamsburg but operates in Warrenton, is among the groups behind the new plates. Jan Brown, SpiritWorks executive director, said the nonprofits launched a new umbrella group: Faces & Voices of Recovery. The goal is to coordinate the groups’ efforts and serve as a vehicle through which Virginia can apply for grants to support recovery work. The license plates cost $25. Of that fee, $10 will go to Faces & Voices of Recovery. Sales of the new plates have been slow, and Brown said she’s worried it might be because people are hesitant to advertise an association with recovery. “But this is completely not about that. This is so everyone knows Virginia is bringing attention and support to recovery,” Brown said. Orders for at least 450 license plates are needed to move the project forward.

Martin Luther King Jr. remembered at Fauquier events Robin Earl

Contributing Writer

For the 30th consecutive year, Mount Zion Baptist Church hosted a rousing celebration of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday afternoon at Highland School’s Rice Theater. Decker H. Tapscott Sr., founder and senior pastor of Faith Christian Church and International Outreach Center, was the keynote speaker. His fiery speech encouraged his audience to “show up” to fight against injustice everywhere. “We need to show up in the voting booth. We need to show up at town halls… It’s time for us to get motivated and show up,” he said. Tapscott’s audience was on its feet responding in kind to his call to action. “While we wait for the White House to get right, we need to get our own church house right,” he said. He invoked King’s name while emphasizing that this is not the time to be complacent. “Injustice anywhere leads to injustice everywhere!” He remembered his time as a young football player – a 98-pound offensive guard. “The coach was afraid to put me in. He was afraid I’d get hurt. But I’m not a sideline kind of person. I said, ‘Coach, put me in.’ That’s what we should all be saying, ‘Coach, put me in.’ Get motivated!” he added.

As in years past, the Mount Zion event committee members – Paula Carter, the Rev. L.A. Montgomery and Maurita McDuffie – announced the 2019 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Award recipients: • Founder’s Award – Charlie Rogers • Youth Essay Prize – Khamini Yates, a 10-year-old fifth-grader • Community Service – The Hope Warming Center, a coalition of churches dedicated to helping the homeless. • Education – Donna Mann • Religion – The Rev. Ronald Poe • Special Recognition – The Rev. John Ferguson, Davone Tines, Marshall Wallace

• Worship Leader – Warrenton Town Councilman Renard Carlos (at large) • Keynote Speaker – Dr. Decker H. Tapscott Sr. Later in the afternoon, Lord Fairfax Community College in Warrenton hosted a second event celebrating Dr. King’s legacy. Attorney Earlene Morgan presented the keynote on the theme for the day, “Let Freedom Ring Everywhere.” The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Ensemble provided music for both events. A third event, scheduled for Saturday at the Afro-American Historical Association in The Plains, was canceled due to inclement weather.

It has been rescheduled for this Saturday, Jan. 26, from 2 to 4 p.m. Keynote speaker Ellsworth Weaver will discuss “The Slave Dwelling Project,” which focuses attention on slave dwelling structures throughout the country. Weaver will highlight three different plantations in Fauquier County where slaves lived – at Owl Run Farm (Weston) in Casanova, at Clifton Farm in Warrenton and at Sky Meadows near Delaplane. As of 1860, Fauquier County included 1,285 slaveholders, 2,146 slave dwellings and 10,455 enslaved people. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Planning Commission votes to deny permit for Islamic retreat site near Warrenton RETREAT, from Page 1 But a handful of speakers encouraged the planning commission to support the permit as an opportunity to add diversity to Fauquier County while also preserving the site largely for agricultural use. The group planned to use between 80 to 100 acres for parking and temporary facilities for the retreats while leaving more than 400 acres of the site as farmland or forest, according to Harris Zafar, a national spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, who spoke to the planning commission at the start of the hearing. Scott Christian, of Marshall, said Fauquier is already home to a Sikh worship center and Buddhist communities. “I think it would be an important moral statement for our county to embrace its first Muslim faith community,” Christian said. “Our future depends on all the strength diversity brings, and this gathering place would show prospective residents … that we welcome all.” Many others, however, said that while they are impressed by the intentions of the group as expressed by Zafar, the main thoroughfare serving the site – Meetze Road – is too small and curvy to safely accommodate large events. Eric Breuer, who lives on property near the site, said the Ahmadiyya group “would be wonderful neighbors under normal circumstances.” But he said the staff report left unanswered questions and said the traffic and extra activity “would forever change the nature of our community.” “This organization seems like they have a wonderful and peaceful message, and I think if they find a location that better fits their size and needs, even if it’s in this county, I think it would be great,” added Katherine Fletcher, a resident of Creekside Crossing. “But not on Meetze Road.”

Lee: ‘A good thing in the wrong location’

Planning Commissioner Adrienne Garreau (Scott) acknowledged the “really profound issues”

their events while they look for a permanent site better suited to handle the extra the traffic. “Several speakers said this is the right thing in the wrong location,” Lee said. “And I’ve listened to all the comments and I believe it is potentially a good thing in the wrong location.”

Group ‘taken aback’ by the vote

A planning commission hearing on a permit application for an Islamic retreat site outside Warrenton drew more than 100 people to the Warren Green building Thursday, Jan. 17. The crowd spilled out of the meeting room, into two overflow rooms and into the hallway. speakers expressed about a retreat site situated “on a road we all realize is really not very safe.” Still, she said she agreed with those who expressed support for helping the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community work with neighbors to find solutions to such challenges. “I do think there are issues that could be resolved,” Garreau said. “I also take very seriously that some folks have said if we really want this in our community, there’s a way of getting there. I think we do want this in our community, I think we can get there, and I would agree that this is perhaps the wrong place.” Garreau was also critical of the Ahmadiyya group for not doing more community outreach before the public hearing. She said she initially sought to delay the vote but then came to the conclusion more time would not change the residents’ concerns. Planning Commissioner Bob Lee (Marshall) said he believed the Ahmadiyya group to be “well-intentioned” and he suggested it rent Great Meadow for

Zafar told the commissioners before the vote the group wants to buy a permanent retreat site to avoid the high cost of renting a venue each year. For the last several years, their annual conventions have been held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. They have been looking for a site in Northern Virginia to better serve growing Ahmadiyya communities in Chantilly and Manassas, Zafar said after the vote. Rafiq Sayed, a volunteer who handles property matters for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, said he was “taken aback” by the commission’s decision. He said he was surprised the county had not already addressed the shortcomings of Meetze Road and wondered why the retreat site “would break the camel’s back” in terms of the road’s capacity. Zafar said he and the other volunteers would now regroup to consider their next steps. Ultimately, he said, they want to find a site where they are “welcome.” “We are a spiritual group. We firmly believe if this is happening, it must not be God’s will,” he said. “I wish we would have had an opportunity to address [the commissioners] concerns.” Planning Commission Chairman John Meadows (Lee) led the public hearing and warned speakers the matter was “strictly a land-use decision” and that comments about religion or the Muslim community would not be tolerated. Most of the speakers adhered to his guidelines. Only one person was asked to leave the podium when she questioned the motives of some in the Ahmadiyya community.

Area to help furloughed workers, the nonprofit is poised to pay mortgages, rent and utility bills directly, CEO Stephanie Berkowitz said Monday. NVFS can be considered a clearinghouse for the services available to furloughed workers in addition to their normal offerings, which run the gamut from child care and medical services to emergency shelters and food banks all over Northern Virginia. “We’ve already seen 10-percent increase in those impacted,” Berkowitz said. “There are government contractors who will get zero back pay. On top of that we are seeing a lot of ancillary workers, people like taxi drivers and childcare providers economically affected by the shutdown.” “We’re helping a woman who is eight months pregnant whose husband is a federal contractor, and they don’t know if she will have health insurance for the birth of the child. Imagine the stress,” she said. Another woman, she said, had to take her child out of preschool. And yet another who said her child brought his piggy bank to her and offered it to pay for food. Berkowitz said the food resource center in Manassas normally serves about 10,000 residents a year, but with donations for the current crisis, the center has loosened restrictions and welcomes anyone who needs help in the full Northern Virginia region.

Bipartisan support behind bills to curb distracted driving By Evie King

Capital News Service

RICHMOND — For Roxanne Gabel and Tabitha Clark, advocating for “hands-free driving” in Virginia is about more than statistics; it’s a family memorial effort. In November 2017, Gabel’s 21-year-old daughter, Lakin Ashlyn, was killed in a traffic accident when she was using Snapchat on her phone while driving, Clark, the young woman’s cousin, said at a Wednesday press conference held by the group Drive Smart Virginia. Distracted by social media while heading to work, Lakin Ashlyn drove off the road and lost control of her vehicle, according to authorities. The young woman was not wearing her seat belt, and when she overcorrected, her car overturned several times. She was ejected and killed, leaving behind her 3-month-old son, who was not in the car. Gabel stood by the podium, tearfully holding the last Snapchat image her daughter took before the accident. Lakin Ashlyn’s eyes were large and round with a set of bear ears and a nose superimposed on her face by a Snapchat filter. “What she was doing was not illegal. Snapchatting is not illegal, Facebook is not illegal,” said Del. Chris Collins, R-29th, of Fredrick. He and Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th, who represents part of Prince William County, are leading a legislative effort to prohibit cellphone use while driving. Under current law, only texting while driving is a primary offense in Virginia. It can draw a fine of $125 for first offenders and $250 for recurring offenses. HB 1811 and its companion SB 1341 would make any interaction with a cellphone while driving a primary offense, with the same fines applied. “Traditionally I’ve resisted these [bills], I’ll be

Michael Mullin, D-93rd, and Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, which includes Prince William County. Legislators said the rising number of distracted driving fatalities shows the need for such legislation.

According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, there were 208 distraction-related traffic fatalities last year, an 18 percent increase compared with 2016. During the same time frame, alcohol-related traffic fatalities fell more than 5 percent. “In some respects, driving with a phone in your hand can be just as dangerous as driving with a .15 blood alcohol level,” Collins said. “When this is something that law enforcement takes seriously and something the courts take seriously, people will change their behavior.”

PUBLIC SAFETY

Senator Jill H. Vogel Legislative Update The 2019 Senate Session convened January 9th at the Capitol followed by the Governor’s State of the Commonwealth Address. The buildup to the legislative session has been a long one and it is also a celebration of the 400th anniversary of the General Assembly. Formed in 1619 as the House of Burgesses, we are the oldest continuous representative body in the Western Hemisphere, meeting first in Jamestown, then Williamsburg and now Richmond. While the Senate was not in session in the summer, it certainly did not feel that way. Committees met almost every week in Richmond to formulate the agenda for 2019. The full Senate met for two days just before Thanksgiving and the Governor briefed our Finance committees in mid-December. Meanwhile, we still do our most important work responding to hundreds of constituent requests, often more impactful and every bit as important as our legislative work. Not surprisingly, some of that constituent work leads to legislation. In preparation for session, I met with parents, business leaders, educators, local government officials and other advocates in each of the seven jurisdictions in the 27th District. My bills are nearly complete and a partial summary of my legislation includes bills to: • Authorize carriers to offer catastrophic health insurance plans; • Allow trade associations to sponsor health benefit plans for their members; • Improve workers compensation for firefighters with cancer diagnoses resulting from toxic exposures; • Require health insurers to provide coverage for those with autism; • Establish a comprehensive school transportation safety protocol; • Address mineral rights in residential property disclosure; • Implement a pilot for feasibility of school placement of students with certain disabilities; • Move primary elections to the third Tuesday in June to accommodate school polling locations; • Revise the deposition process for corporate officers; • Reorganize the Department of Elections as an independent entity to more fairly oversee the administration of elections; • Extend sunset of economic development grant for Port of Virginia; • Create a Sex Trafficking Response Coordinator in Dept. of Criminal Justice to implement statewide plan to identify/respond to sex trafficking crimes; • Provide licensure for music therapists; • Adopt agency and board appointments in state government; • Make it a Class 1 misdemeanor in certain cases to leave children 4 or younger unattended in a vehicle, a bill strongly promoted by Frederick County’s Sheriff and others working to reduce child death from heatstroke; • Add clergy/churches to the list of required reporters of child neglect and abuse, it exempts confession, is supported by churches and is intended to facilitate reporting of child sexual abuse; • Convey Camp 7 ownership in Clarke County through partnership with Port of Virginia; • Provide resources for Shenandoah University technology incubator and Economic Development Authority; • Implement urban nutrient management for equine operations; • Provide funding for Commissioners of the Revenue; Treasurers’ and Registrars; • Provide resources for pre-school initiative; • assist in hiring people with disabilities; • Provide resources for George Mason University IT network infrastructure; • Provide support for Fort Loudoun in Winchester; • Match funding for Turning Point Suffragist Memorial; • Extend support for the battered women’s shelter; and • Provide funding for Virginia battlefields and historic preservation. So far, the biggest issues of session have been Interstate 81improvements, legalizing sports gambling, the Governor’s gun control proposals, tax conformity and a budget surplus estimated at $600 million as a result of the federal tax cuts. The proposals continue to evolve and there will be further updates. Please consider visiting the Capitol during session! We welcome families and school groups and also hope that you will contact my office any time that you have questions or concerns at 804-698-7527 or email jillvogel@senate27.com.

Fauquier County’s top prosecutor wins judgeship By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney James P. Fisher will move from arguing cases to deciding them come July 1 when he becomes a judge in the 20th Judicial Circuit Court, which hears cases originating in Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties. “It is a tremendous honor to receive this appointment by our legislative,” he said in a statement on his website after the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate approved his appointment on Wednesday. Fisher will serve an eight-year term on the bench. Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Peters confirmed that he will serve as commonwealth’s attorney for the remainder of Fisher’s term through the end of 2019. Peters said he plans to run for the Republican nomination for a full four-year term in this November’s election. Christopher Morehouse, a New Baltimore resident who is an assistant prosecutor in the Culpeper County Commonwealth’s Attorney, last year announced a bid to challenge Fisher for the Republican nomination. Morehouse suspended his campaign in December until it was known if Fisher would be appointed judge. He said in a Dec. 10 press release he wouldn’t run against Peters should Peters decide to run since “his vision is very similar to my own.” Fisher, 56, spent 10 years in private

practice as an attorney, served as outside counsel to the Fairfax County Department of Family Services and as an assistant commonwealth’s attorney in James P. Fisher Fairfax County. He was town attorney in Warrenton before becoming chief deputy commonwealth’s attorney in Loudoun County. Fisher was named to fill the remainder of a term as commonwealth’s attorney in Fauquier in 2011 and subsequently won two elections for the office. He heads a 17-member staff with a budget of $1.4 million. Fisher appeared before the House and Senate Courts of Justice committees last month and was deemed qualified for the judgeship. No other candidates appeared at the joint hearing, but questions were raised about the nomination process. The Loudoun Times-Mirror reported that there were two candidates for the judgeship from Loudoun – Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Sean Morgan and Leesburg attorney Lorrie Sinclair. State legislators from Loudoun and the Loudoun County NAACP questioned the transparency of the vetting process. “It wasn’t the person. It was the process that troubled me and other colleagues,” state Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-33, told the Times-Mirror. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Nguyen homicides remain under investigation Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office detectives are still investigating the deaths of Duong and America Nguyen, the sheriff’s office announced in a news release this week. The father and son were found deceased in their home in the Bealeton area on Nov. 9. Detectives are working with the FBI, Virginia State Police and the forensic science laboratory to examine evidence in the case, the news release said. Detectives also “continue to interview friends, associates, co-workers and others who may have had con-

tact with the Nyugens prior to their death,” the news release said. The sheriff’s office is asking anyone who may have traveled the Va. 28, Catlett Road, corridor in Fauquier County to Prince William County, on Nov. 8, 2018, to contact the sheriff’s office “if they remember anything or anyone suspicious during their commute.” Anyone with information regarding the deaths of Duong and America Nguyen are encouraged to contact the sheriff’s office at 540-347-3300.

Sheriff: Remington man jailed after Bealeton resident finds him inside his unlocked, parked vehicle It was a motion-activated exterior light that alerted a Bealeton resident on Cedar Lane that someone was rummaging around in his unlocked vehicle about 2:05 a.m. Saturday morning. The resident went out to his car, confronted the man and a “physical struggle” ensued. That suspect is now behind bars. That’s according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, which sent officers and a K-9 unit out to the 11100 block of Cedar Lane in Bealeton in the small hours of the morning Saturday, Jan. 19, to hunt for the man who ran away after the resident confronted him. The suspect ran toward Schoolhouse Road. The deputies tracked him down at a residence on Helm Drive near Remington. He was taken

into custody without incident, according to Sgt. James Hartman, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Bradley Russell Lewis, 22, of RemBradley Russell ington, is charged Lewis with entering a vehicle to commit larceny and petit larceny in connection with the incident. Lewis is being held on a $1,500 bond at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center. This incident remains under investigation. Anyone who believes their vehicle was entered by an unknown person(s) is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 540-347-3300.

Despite denial, Muslim group welcome in Fauquier The Fauquier County Planning Commission voted unanimously Jan. 17 to recommend that the board of supervisors deny a special-exception permit to allow the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to hold four annual OUR VIEW events on farmland near Warrenton. In what could have easily degenerated into a religious argument, we were encouraged by the thoughtful discussion voiced at the public hearing last week. Planning Commission Chairman John Meadows set the tone at the outset, warning participants to keep the discussion to issues of land use: the only topic germane to the commission’s jurisdiction. Nearly all of the 36 people who testified during the meeting did just that. They focused their attention on traffic, noise and concerns about whether the farmland, located at Meetze and Turkey Run roads, was suited to host what the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community proposed. Most felt that winding, two-lane Meetze Road isn’t a good fit for the events, the largest of which is expected to attract 5,000 people. The commission agreed. Some also raised concerns about noise and property values, thoughts echoed in Planning Commissioner Matthew Smith’s (Cedar Run) motion to recommend the application’s denial. It is hard to see how the Islamic retreats would pose greater impacts than other activities in the area, including the annual fair and the future sports complex, particularly with no outdoor music and no alcohol on the site, but traffic is another story. We concur that Meetze Road is too narrow and curved to safely handle thousands of vehicles. A staff report presented at the start of the hearing estimates Meetze Road would see a 50-percent increase in traffic around the time of the Jalsa Salana, resulting in a total of 2,000 trips on the road a day. And county staff predicted the other three retreats would generate a 10-percent increase, resulting in 420 daily trips. Smith also pointed out the entrance’s proximity to a blind curve. The safety of residents, as well as guests, should be of paramount importance. Apart from those concerns, it was made clear by both the planning commission and several of the speakers the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is welcome in Fauquier County. Many said they were encouraged by the group’s peaceful message and commitment to preserving the site largely for agricultural use. Opposition was squarely based on the proposed location. To that end, the planning commission recommended the group to explore renting another Fauquier venue – perhaps Great Meadow – until they can identify a property with better transportation options. Great Meadow, with its history of hosting large events and its proximity to four-lane U.S. 17 and Interstate 66, would seem an ideal fit, and an agreement could be of benefit to both organizations. It’s unclear if the group will pursue that option, as it is searching for permanent retreat site to avoid the high cost of renting a venue each year. The group’s leaders were understandably discouraged by the planning commission’s decision, fearing it was “God’s will” their effort was not successful. Their spokesman, Harris Zafar, further said that as they reconsider their options in Northern Virginia, they would look for a place where they are welcome. We hope the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community understands this decision, as Chairman John Meadows reminded, was “strictly a land-use decision” and that their members are indeed welcome in Fauquier County.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES

For several years, John W. ‘Johnny’ Gray, shown with his wife, Evelyn, was an employee of Raymond Pearson’s Cash and Carry Market on Culpeper Street. He purchased the business from Mr. Pearson on July 1,1963, and continued to operate the business there.

75 Years Ago Jan. 27, 1944 Two men later identified by Army officers as Capt. Berthold A. Moeller Jr. of Honolulu and Cpl. Winton L. Powell of Miami, Fla., were killed instantly last Wednesday night when their plane crashed into Little Cobbler Mountain between Delaplane and Markham. Mrs. J. B. McCarty, whose home is near the scene of the crash, heard the plane flying very low over her house at 10:30 p.m., and soon afterward heard a “heavy thud.” Going to the door, she saw that the top of the mountain was ablaze and called S. W. McCarty, who is a fire warden. Waddy B. Wood, S.A.I.A, prominent Washington architect, died suddenly of pneumonia on Jan. 25. Mr. Wood and his wife, the former Elizabeth Lindsay Lomax, spent their summers in Warrenton during their residence in Washington, and of later years made their permanent home here. 50 Years Ago Jan. 30, 1969 The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has approved a grant of $7,039 to the George Everett Partridge Memorial Foundation, which operates a school and rehabilitation center near Warrenton. The grant will help establish a workshop operation at Partridge School. Albert J. Osbourne is project director. Sue Rucker of Hillcrest Farm, Delaplane, was presented the premier ju-

nior exhibitor award by the Virginia Angus Association at its annual meeting Jan. 18 in Fredericksburg. Miss Rucker is the daughter of John Rucker, who was elected a director of the association. Warrenton businessman J. Willard Lineweaver has been elected president of the Warrenton-Fauquier chamber of commerce for 1969. Other officers elected were Jesse Surles, vice president; Ted Portnoy, treasurer; and Warren Breth, secretary. 25 Years Ago Jan. 26, 1994 The Fauquier county Chamber of Commerce has announced the appointment of a Disney Task Force to examine the challenges and maximize the benefits posed to local businesses by Disney’s America theme park. Former Chamber president Sandra Roszel will chair the task force, under the direction of current president Tom Winfree and vice president for economic development Mary Leigh McDaniel. Sally Murray, executive director of the chamber, will handle communications with members and the media. When the Planning Commission convenes Thursday for its first meeting of the year, Lee district’s Michael Molloy is expected to replace Harry Atherton, Marshall District, as chairman of the commission. The move is widely seen as the first example of a shift in power on the commission to a less preservation-minded contingent. –Compiled by John T. Toler

OPINION

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | January 23, 2019

The real crisis: Government stability and the belief in falsehoods I read with dismay the Jan. 16 letter to the editor supporting the erecting of a border wall. Clearly, author Joan Caton Anthony, believes Donald Trump’s erroneous claims about the alleged “security threat” that will “grow and fester” without a physical barrier at the southern border. I did some fact checking on the president’s claims. In a nutshell, the crisis is a manufactured one replete with exaggerations, outright lies, and false statistics. Overall border crossings have been dropping for nearly 20 years. In the ’80s to the mid-2000s, the U.S. apprehended more than 1.5 million illegal immigrants annually. By 2017, that number had dropped to 415,500. Roughly, a 30 percent decrease. Illegal immigration is primarily driven by individuals who are already in the U.S. and are overstaying their visas. How do they arrive? Through an airport. Human trafficking is a global issue of great concern to anyone with a conscience and a desire to protect our most vulnerable. However, the “20,000 migrant children brought into the U.S. … [who] are used by coyotes and ruthless gangs” referred to by Trump are not children smuggled in by nefarious sex trade syndicates, but rather, children who cross with a parent or legal guardian. They are being brought here by loving families in search of a better life. The president did not refer to terrorism this time around. Why? Because even Fox News has fact checked the claim that terrorists are coming into our country over the southern border and refuted it. Increased crime as a result of illegal immigration is typical fear mongering. Many of the migrants are counted in the number of “criminals” because they are cited for, you guessed it, illegally entering

our country. Drug smuggling over the southern border is a popular Administration refrain on why we must build a wall to deal with the ever growing opioid and illegal drug crisis. The fact is illegal drugs are largely coming into the U.S. through legal ports of entry. Also, opioids are primarily sourced from U.S.-based drug companies. Although building a wall is the wrong solution, I do agree with Anthony that our immigration system is greatly flawed and needs to be overhauled. It is a quagmire of red tape, bureaucracy, and inane legal processes. It is too costly and suffers with extreme backlogs. It breeds desperation for those attempting to escape famine, poverty and violence to provide a better life for themselves and their loved ones. One last comment, like Anthony, I am a retired fed with more than 30 years of service. I take exception to her cavalier attitude about shutdowns. Anytime the government has to shutdown, it costs all of us and should not be shrugged off. The federal workforce should never be pawns in a political game of chicken. This shutdown is nothing less than shameful. Taking our federal workforce hostage is not something to dismiss. In my decades-long career, I have worked with some of the most dedicated, selfless, talented, and patriotic individuals in this country. It is distressing to see these patriots suffer and be disrespected by the very administration they work to support each and every day. We must all actively demand that the shutdown end immediately without a wall and with an agreement to improve the immigration system and border security as a whole. Kathryn Kadilak The Plains

Why the wall won’t work President Trump recently declared that a wall to deter invasion – like the wheel – is an invention that needs no improvement. He is wrong. A wall has never been an effective way to deter invasion. Take the Great Wall of China. Built initially to repel the Mongols, Genghis Khan had no problem overcoming it in the late 13th century. When it was refortified later it didn’t fare any better – it was overrun in 1644 by the Manchus and resulted in over 200 years of Qing emperors on the throne of the “Central Kingdom.” Later barriers fared no better. The Germans eventually found a way to neutralize the Maginot Line, built by France after the first World War to deter another invasion by that country. And the Bar Lev Line, a chain of barriers along the Suez

Canal built by Israel after the SixDay War, was destroyed by Egyptian forces in fewer than two hours during the October 1973 War. And what about the 1,500-plusmile sand and stone wall that bisects the territory of Western Sahara, built by Morocco to stem the attacks of the Sahrawis after Morocco invaded their territory in 1975? This wall, the second largest man made barrier in the world, was overcome by the Sahrawis in the 1980s, forcing Morocco to endorse a referendum whereby the people could determine their future. Face it, building a wall on our southern boundary is simply a silly idea! Katlyn Thomas Warrenton

Signs of blight

ILLUSTRATION BY ANNAMARIA WARD

Roadside signs come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be distracting particularly in the Piedmont, known for its scenic beauty.

Battle against illegal roadside signs continues By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Cash for Used Cars. Fast Cheap Internet. Yard Sale. Bush Hogging. House for Sale. Ever seen these ads emblazoned on telephone poles, stop signs and in median strips? Of course. Ever responded to one? Unlikely. So why do all manner of businesses advertise this way? Because its free. And to some degree it must work. Nonetheless, it’s unsightly, illegal and growing. Roadside advertising is simply littering. But as soon as a good citizen might pull one off a telephone pole or out of a median strip, the rascals are back planting their crop. The Code of Virginia prohibits signs and advertisements within the limits of the highway. The Virginia Department of Transportation is authorized to remove any sign in violation. The agency can levy a $100 civil penalty for each occurrence. VDOT also works with localities and the Adopt-A-Highway program to enforce the law. The law does allow advertising within sight of highways, but it must meet certain requirements and requires a permit as well as permission from the local government. You can bet the farm most signs have not been sanctioned. Stick it and run is the game plan of the violators. In 2017, Stafford County cracked down on the practice. Its county parks and recreation staff risks its own safety removing as many as 800 signs in a single weekend.

Cleaning up the signs

Dwaine Ware, VDOT’s program

manager for outdoor advertising, underscores ad signs are illegal on any state right-of-way unless allowed by permit. Typically, the right-of-way extends to utility pole lines but varies in distance depending on location. “Every sign that is illegally placed is subject to a $100 penalty in addition to civil penalty fees,” he said. “We do remove them, but we also enter into agreements with local governments to act as our agent.” Adopt-A-Highway volunteers also aid in making the signs disappear when they clean their sections of roadways twice annually. Unfortunately, the limited number of volunteers are no match for the army of sign planters continually on the hunt for prime real estate. To levy fines, offenders need to be identified. “If the signs don’t have an address it’s often hard for us to identify them,” said Ware. The administrative costs of pursuing violators can also mitigate against wide spread enforcement. “Individual VDOT district offices are the ones who would remove the signs and level fines.” To underscore the scope of the problem Ware states, “At the beginning of political campaigns we do send letters to known candidates about the violation incurred by placing political signs on VDOT right-of-way.” We all know how effective that warning is. A more frequently used strategy is employing VDOT contractors to sweep highways in advance of mowing operations to protect equipment and reduce the multiplying effect of mower blades turning a single sign into a blizzard of garbage. In addition to blighting our sce-

nic highways, safety looms as another threat to motorists. Signs can be dangerous, obscuring views of oncoming traffic. After bad weather they can become even more unsightly and dangerous.

Spreading the word

The signs most frequently used in illegal advertising are plastic with inserted wire legs. In the industry they are known as “popsicle” signs. They are quick and easy to install and violators can place dozens a day when their marketing juices are flowing. Where do they come from? “I’m guessing the internet has made it easier to procure the signs at cheaper prices,” said Tony Tedeschi, owner of Piedmont Press & Graphics in Warrenton. A quick online search reveals one can score a two-color 12-by-12-inch sign for as low as 88 cents apiece but larger signs with colors go for a couple bucks each when purchased in bulk. The signs present somewhat of a conundrum for Tedeschi, who also sells the signs at his shop. While it’s a legitimate business practice he opines, “We talk about this issue all the time because it’s important. Yes, I am in the sign business, but I can also make a living being a good business person, a good citizen and steward of the environment. “We don’t question people about the use of their signs but if they tell us where they are going to put them, we tell them if it doesn’t seem appropriate. ‘I don’t believe you’re supposed to do that. I don’t think that’s legal. You should go check with the county.’” He also knows the town and county are overwhelmed and don’t have the staff for widespread enforcement.

Tedeschi, says he has never received guidance from VDOT on the illegal use of the signs. “The state does not give us any advice on the legality of them on VDOT rights-of-way. “I think it’s a good idea if they provided some information. A little pamphlet or brochure that we could give out to our sign customers advising them when they may be violating the law.” VDOT does not currently communicate directly with sign vendors. Another way to counter the practice is for citizens to note an offending roadside phone number and call the company stating they would not do business with someone littering the highways. At the end of the day, only the bottom line is likely to stifle a practice that’s both against the law and scene stealing. For more business and wine tales, go to Hagarty-on-wine.com

Allegro to add new Old Town Warrenton location, launches funding campaign Staff Reports Allegro is adding another location in Old Town Warrenton to expand its many classes and programs in the fine and performing arts. Allegro, a nonprofit arts school and studio, launched a “flash capital campaign” that was matched by an anonymous donor until the end of the year. The money will help build programming space and cover construction expenses at its new location: 39 Culpeper St. Allegro’s board of directors has been negotiating a lease for the new space for the last two months. The school will retain its current space, at 20 Main St., while also expanding to the new space just a short walk away, Executive Director Sam

Yoder said in a press release. “We are at the point of signing a lease and want to share our good news,” Yoder said. “We have outgrown our existing space but value our Main Street location. As such, we will be occupying two buildings in Old Town Warrenton. “Our Main Street location will continue to bring us walk-ins and visibility, while the new location, mere steps from Main Street, will enable our programs to continue growing,” he said. Allegro will host an open house for the community to celebrate the new location on Saturday, Feb. 2 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Allegro’s instructors and students will dance, sing and perform small theatre skits for the public and dis-

cuss their new programs. Beverages and snacks will be served, according to an event announcement. The additional 7,000 square feet of space will allow Allegro to continue growing its programs and add new ones based on community interest. Some Allegro programming that might use the new space include its musical theatre and dance classes; art classes, including painting, sketching and cartooning; and choir and vocal ensembles, including show choirs, adult choirs and pre-vocal classes for younger students. The new location will also serve as a rehearsal space for the Allegro Youth Orchestra as well as the new Warrenton Inklings Society, which will offer writing classes, book signings, book launches and a home for

Warrenton’s authors, the news release said. It will also be home base for Allegro’s new “Creative Aging” program, which will be directed at “keeping our aging population young,” the news release said. Allegro will also use the space for private music-therapy classrooms, a dance studio, additional teaching suites, performance space, a recording studio, rehearsal space, a bookstore and day care accommodations for instructors, Yoder said. Donations can be made the Allegro website or checks can be mailed to Allegro CSA at 20 Main St., Warrenton, Virginia 20186.

FALCONS DIDN’T WANT A SNOW DAY Weather ruined Fauquier’s chance at a third straight girls hoops win By Fred Hodge

Tiana Minor and the improving Falcons host Class 5 Briar Woods on Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. before Friday’s trip to first-place Millbrook.

Growing pains have been prevalent for the girls basketball teams at Fauquier, Kettle Run and Liberty, who are a combined 8-37 this winter. While the margin between the teams is thin, leading the pack is Fauquier, the county leader at 4-11. Falcon coach Brian Foddrell saw his team win two in a row recently and he’s optimistic of more progress in the final three weeks. “I can see bright things. I just need to keep on the path we are going. I want us to finish strong,” Foddrell said. After posting back-to-back wins for the first time in years, Fauquier looked to make it three in a row last week. Hoping to defeat Warren County for a second time, weather forced a postponement of that Jan. 14 matchup. Although Liberty beat Fauquier 39-23 on Dec. 18 in Bealeton for Liberty’s sole victory this year, Fauquier seems to be on the upswing as a result of growing confidence. Longer stints of consistency were displayed in the opening four minutes of a Jan. 16 home loss to second-place James Wood. The Falcons aggressively attacked James Wood’s full court 1-2-2 zone press early, often creating scoring chances in the 5319 loss. Unfortunately, the home team came away empty handed several times on missed layups. “I was very impressed with how we started and with that rhythm we had at the start of the game,” Foddrell said. “We definitely had some opportunities to boost our momentum if we had

made some layups. “I’m starting to see them gain more confidence as far as taking the ball to the bucket whereas before they would just stand around. That gives us more opportunities.” Three points by Skyler Furr and two from Tia Minor put the Falcons in a comfortable early slot, trailing 10-5. Several turnovers then eroded the earlier aggressiveness and led to hesitation, feeding the Colonels’ pressing defense. James Wood junior Makayla Firebaugh is the Northwestern District’s leading scorer at more than 25 points an outing. She was a major factor in her team’s strong outburst in the final 12 minutes of the opening half. Firebaugh notched 11 first-quarter points and had 20 by halftime before finishing with 29. “I felt we started fizzling out, and James Wood’s experience started taking over,” Foddrell said. “Turnovers have been our kryptonite.” James Wood tallied the final six points of the opening quarter to expand its lead to 19-9. The visitors carried a 35-15 margin into the locker room at the half en route to the 34-point win. The youthful Falcons could not handle the double-edged sword of Colonel experience and firepower, Foddrell said of his freshman-dominated unit, adding “These are the mistakes I expect them to make. “They pushed us to the point where it was hard to redeem ourselves.” Furr finished as Fauquier’s leading scorer with seven points. Makayla Foddrell was next at six, with Payton Swart (four) and Minor (two) rounding out the total.

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The new year has been good to the Highland Hawks girls basketball team. After starting 5-7 late in 2018, the Hawks are undefeated in 2019 at 5-0 and have taken over the No. 1 spot in the initial VISAA Division II state poll. “Our team is starting to peak at the right time and we are growing from lessons learned in December,”

said Highland coach Diana Martinez, whose team faced a challenging early-season schedule against many Mid-Atlantic teams. Two days after taking No. 1, the Hawks (10-7 overall, 2-0 Delaney Athletic Conference) routed No. 4 Atlantic Shores 74-31 last Saturday in the StatVA Girls Basketball Classic at Churchland High in Portsmouth. Atlantic Shores made the D-II state semifinals last season with Highland as the state runner-up. Yet

the Hawks quickly built a 22-2 lead Saturday en route to a 40-13 halftime advantage and a 63-33 lead entering the fourth. The Hawks often used a fullcourt press to create turnovers that they quickly turned into fast-break layups. They finished with 19 steals and assisted 26 of their 32 field goals. “Everyone is playing their roles, rebounding as a team, playing team See HAWKS, Page 16

Justice rules as Hawk boys win in OT By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Darret Justice’s near triple-double helped the Highland Hawks beat Peninsula Catholic 91-82 in overtime Saturday at home in Warrenton. The senior guard had 19 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as Highland topped 90 points for the third time this season. In their first game since opening as No. 6 in the VISAA D-II state rankings, Highland (14-3) won its seventh straight game by outscoring Peninsula Catholic 16-7 in overtime. Peninsula Catholic rallied in the fourth quarter with a 14-7 run that tied the score 75-75. Earlier, the Hawks fell behind 2522 in the first quarter before taking a 43-36 halftime lead and a 68-61 advantage entering the fourth period. Cam Timmons finished with 17 points (8-for-12 field goal shooting) while Angelo Brizzi had 16 (6-for-8), Zion Hanberry had 13, Jalen Jasper had 11 and Luke Rodgers had eight. Brizzi made 3-of-5 3-pointers and Jasper made 3-of-6 while Justice and Hanberry each made 5-of-6 free throws. Timmons also had 11 rebounds and Hanberry had five, while Jasper had three steals. Hanberry added seven assists and Rodgers had five, while Timmons had three blocks. On Jan. 16, the Hawks overwhelmed Trinity Christian 72-30 on the road in Fairfax to remain undefeated in Delaney Athletic Conference play at 6-0. It was the fourth time Highland held an opponent under 40 points. They held the Gryphons to fewer than seven points in all but one period. Highland led 17-6 in the first quarter, 33-19 at halftime and 52-24 entering the fourth. “I thought we came out and played pretty well considering we have not been able to practice this week due to the weather,” Hawks coach Brian Hooker said. “A lot of positive contributions from different guys.” Brizzi led Highland with 18 points and Jasper had nine while adding nine each were Justice, Timmons and Lavion Morales.

Q&A: GETTING TO KNOW

COACH BUCK

Fauquier’s new football coach Karl Buckwalter, 56, has lived in Warrenton since 2008. He answers a few questions from Fauquier Times sports editor Peter Brewington. Living in Warrenton, what are some of your favorite restaurants? “I like Uncle Julio’s and Tropical Smoothie and going to Panera Bread with (10-year old daughter) Karlyn. I also like Devine Swine for great BBQ and the various seafood places nearby.” Describe your football playing experience? “I played four years at McLean High, making Washington Post AllMet and earning all-state honors as a safety. I earned a scholarship to continue playing at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. I tell all my players if you want to play and are willing to put in the grind, there is a football home out there.” What’s your coaching style? “I’m very competitive and detail oriented. I’m always preparing for worst case scenarios.”

COURTESY PHOTO

New Fauquier High football coach Karl Buckwalter is a 1981 McLean High graduate, Warrenton resident for 11 years and diehard college sports watcher. “I truly enjoy college sports. All that goes along with it. March Madness and ESPN College Gameday. I love watching all of it,” he says.

Buckwalter’s track record Dominion: 50-67* (2008-2018) Colonial Forge: 20-25 (1999-2003) McLean: 52-47* (1990-98) TOTAL: 122-139 *Made one state semifinal appearance

Do you like to be called Karl? I hear you also go by Buck. “I like to be called Buck or Bucky, which is what I grew up with in sports. I also like it as that was what my dad was called.” Do you have any hobbies? “There’s a lot of things I enjoy doing and one is finding football homes for players. I started a company back in 1986-87 and was actually doing it for players. I charged the colleges but never the players. Just couldn’t get it totally off the ground. When I became the head coach at McLean I did it for my kids as I do now. It’s fun stuff!” What else do you like to do? “I also enjoy going to spring football practices and learning or sharing ideas for purposeful practices. Visiting Bryce Mountain and tubing with Karlyn or just enjoying the small town atmosphere like here in Old Town. I also play hoops or jog when I can on the weekends.” Anything else? “I truly enjoy college sports. All

that goes along with it. March madness and College Gameday. Watching all of it.” Any superstitions? “I wear the same boots for the playoffs. Been wearing them since 1990!” What kind of boots? “They are simply low boots that are brown like you’d wear in the winter. You would never know they are boots as my pant legs covers them. They are ready every year though! I don’t wear them in the regular season.” You had a Dominion linebacker, Chad Smith, compete in the National Championship game for Clemson? “Watching Chad play was a lot of fun. He got in on some goal line packages. I was like, ‘You better not let Tua [Tagovailoa] get outside ‘[on quarterback runs]. Just from Dominion, we had nearly 50 kids that went on to play college football.”

Cougars gun for first district win Thursday at Liberty By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

This season has been a struggle for the Kettle Run girls basketball players and coaches, but coach Ellen Allen is taking solace in her team’s resolve. “They don’t give up,” Allen said following a 51-38 home loss to Culpeper on Jan. 16. Kettle Run played its best third quarter of the season, but it was not enough to overcome the poor first quarter. Kettle Run (3-12) will play at Liberty Thursday in a game postponed from Jan. 15. Then it’s off to Handley Friday and to Millbrook next Tuesday. The next home game will be Feb. 1 versus Fauquier. Kettle Run is in search of its first Northwestern District victory. The Cougars have a difficult assignment to better their 0-5 league mark with the next four games on the road, and five of the last seven regular-season contests are away. Culpeper made four 3-pointers in building a commanding 21-5 first quarter lead. The Blue Devils led 31-13 at halftime and appeared headed for a rout despite Kettle Run recording six of the last eight points of the second quarter. The host Cougars maintained the momentum when play resumed, which pleased Allen. “We’ve had some really good quarters here and there,” she acknowledged. “But we’ve been focusing on having better third quarters because we have been lacking that in the last few games.

Kettle Run and Liberty prepare for their first meeting of the year Thursday at Liberty. “We challenged them to go out a little stronger in the third quarter and make things happen.” Culpeper scored the first basket before an energized Cougar defense keyed the uprising and took the visitors out of their offensive flow. Kettle Run’s Maddy Edwards, Sara Hume and Faith Schaefer sank con-

secutive baskets before Sammie McCoy nailed a 20-footer for three points and a 9-0 run to narrow the deficit to 33-22 in less than four minutes. Culpeper countered with a free throw and a layup before two Cougars buckets reduced the deficit to 36-26. Cougar Ashley Hume scored off an offensive rebound with 35 seconds remaining to cut the gap to 39-28. The third period ended when Culpeper’s Amber Fairfax sank an unguarded 24-foot heave at the buzzer to widen the margin to 42-28. The long-range bomb was damaging because Kettle Run’s defense again fueled an outburst to commence the final quarter. Edwards recorded a steal at half court and a layup 21 seconds in. She added a free throw 31 seconds later. Two Cougar field goals made the run 7-0 and cut the Blue Devil lead to 4335 with 3:23 remaining. Culpeper regrouped as the Kettle Run wave stalled, tallying eight of

the final 11 points. Kettle Run’s lone score was a Rachel Schwind shot from the top of the circle. Allen left the game heartened by her team’s response to her half-time pep talk. “You’ve got to be ready to play just as you do when you warm up before the game,” she stressed, telling the crew, “‘We can’t wait to start playing. We’ve got to start now.’’’ The coach hopes last week’s game will be another lesson as the season heads down the stretch. “That was a growing game as far as making us better,” she opined. McCoy, a senior, finished with a team- and season-high 14 points that included three 3-point baskets. Schaefer added six points to five each for Edwards and Sara Hume. Emory Shorts finished with four points. Allison Sinitra paced the winners with 14 points.

Highland girls ascend to No. 1 HAWKS, from Page 14 defense and giving great effort,” Martinez said. “Our chemistry today was the best I’ve seen all season.” Destiny Ramcharan led Highland with a career-high 23 points and nine rebounds, setting season-highs for the second consecutive game after her 19 points and seven rebounds in beating Trinity Christian 77-34 on Jan. 16 in Fairfax. Kayla Soltys had 16 points against Atlantic Shores, while Alyssa Austin had 12 and Megan Kirby had seven. Abby Soltys and Margaret Groux had six each. Mackenize Cochrane had nine rebounds. Against Trinity, Ramcharan reached the 1,000-point career milestone in the first quarter by making a baseline jumper that helped the Hawks lead 17-10 after the first

quarter. Highland led 37-24 at halftime and used a 19-3 run in the third quarter for a 56-27 advantage. “I am proud of our ladies for picking up the energy in the second half to defend without fouling, forcing turnovers in the half-court, hitting the boards and not turning the ball over,” Martinez said. “More importantly I loved to see them celebrate Destiny as she scored her 1,000th point. What a wonderful feat for this young lady.” Ramcharan made 9-of-12 field goals to help Highland go 35-for-54 (65 percent) as a team. Kayla Soltys added 18 points, Austin had 11 (5-for6), Groux had 10 and Kirby had seven. Abby Soltys added five assists and Groux had four with three each from Kirby, Austin and Cochrane. Groux and Kirby also had four steals each and Austin had three, while Cochrane had four rebounds and two blocks.

BREED OF THE WEEK: HAFLINGER

FROM AUSTRIA WITH ENERGY Haflingers are mighty little workhorses, and versatile By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

They look like twins. Predictably light chestnut, tow-headed, sturdy and stout, Vicki Baturay’s perfectly matched Haflingers provide a pleasing mirror image as her go-to driving pair. The more tricky the terrain, all the more grateful is the local carriage enthusiast for this rare breed’s famously willing work ethic, strength and athletic agility. At a recent Piedmont Driving Club picnic pleasure event at North Wales west of Warrenton, Baturay’s team proved its merit, exhibiting the hallmark talent behind a century of carefully-controlled line breeding that yielded this central European original. Deep in the countryside south of the estate’s historic main house, the pair plunged across a swollen creek without hesitation, boldly traversing raging, chest-high water to safely deliver a four-wheel carriage, navigator Vicki Baturay and her husband-driver, Al, to the far banks of Great Run. “Our very talented boys braved that deep water without question,” Vicki Baturay said with pride. “There were horses that refused the crossing, or …

Meet the Haflinger • The Haflinger was purpose-bred in rural Austria and Italy as a small, sturdy workhorse gentle enough for children to handle yet capable of pulling great burdens. • He is always chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail, from a light golden hue to a darker, liver chestnut color. He usually comes with white facial marks. There are often lower leg markings. • He has pony or horse measurements of 13.2 to 15 hands. • Haflingers have a relaxed but energetic gait. • Want more information? Visit the World Haflinger Federation, American Haflinger Registry or the Haflinger Society of Great Britain.

FAST FACT A relatively rare breed, there are about 250,000 registered Haflingers worldwide and around 14,000 in the U.S. Comparatively, there are more than 2.5 million registered Quarter Horses in the U.S. alone.

were reluctant to even attempt it.” Affable and laid back, Haflingers are most recognized as light draft horses. That means they can be used in harness for farm work, but they’re regularly used for competitive driving, dressage, jumping, western sports, vaulting, endurance, pony club, foxhunting and more. Vicki Baturay was sold on the breed from her very first Haflinger, Nordex, purchased at age 2 from a Pennsylvania Amish family. “His fabulous willing personality was just what my newly-retired, novice-to-horses husband needed,” said Baturay. Nordex had been broken to harness and saddle, but with little “real-world” experience. “That old horse adage ‘green plus green equals black and blue’ did not apply here. Nordex totally took care of Al,” she said. Baturay said she’d steal him to compete in the Crystal Crown judged trail competitions. “We’d be in the top 15, consistently,” and they learned to cut cattle at Tom Seay’s practice team penning events in Culpeper. They added a second Amish Haflinger, Aztec, a few years later, driving the pair in events across the region. “They’re an all-around horse with a want-to-please attitude,” Baturay said. “They’re sociable, … kind, and gorgeous. The complete package.”

Bred in the Middle Ages

Also known as the Avelignese,

Haflinger ancestry traces to the Middle Ages when small, hardy draft animals were line-bred for small European land-holdings. The modern breed was refined in 19th century Austria and northern Italy, namely Hafling in South Tyrol region. An infusion of Arabian blood, it is theorized, lent to the breed’s trademark refined muzzle and enormous, expressive eye. The studbook has been closed since 1946. In 2003, a Haflinger became the first horse to be cloned, resulting in a filly named Prometea. The Austrian Army’s 6th Infantry Brigade has 70 Haflingers they use in mountain regions for pack work. The height of the breed has increased since the end of World War II, when it stood an average of 13.3 hands (55 inches). The average Haflinger height today ranges from medium pony size – 13.2 hands – to small horse size – 15 hands. Whatever the height, Haflingers are known as “weight-carriers,” relative to their stature. They weigh from 800-1,200 pounds. Short-coupled with dense, solid bones, they can tote up to a third of their weight, and can pull up to twice their weight. Neither has been an issue for D-2 pony club rider Lily McKee, who rides her Haflinger Lucy regularly with the Old Dominion Hounds.

Developed in Europe for small farmholdings, the Haflinger breed has distinctive color, markings, conformation and disposition, making them suitable for a wide range of draft and ridden disciplines. Find more at haflingerhorse.com. “She can hunt all day long, she has good stamina,” said McKee, 11. “She’s not upset by anything,” even a swarm of foxhounds darting between her legs one day in the hunt field. “She didn’t even flinch.”

Internationally known beekeeper to teach training course By John Hagarty

Contributing writer

As one gains an understanding of the Piedmont’s population, it’s inspiring to learn of the number of talented people who choose to live, work or retire here. A newcomer may think our scenic landscape is rural living at its best. And it is. But beyond the beautiful vistas is a deep reservoir of successful men and women who are making significant contributions to the commonwealth. The intellect, drive and success of these “locals” surely matches or exceeds any rural area in the nation: physicians, IT professionals, writers, pilots, political mavens, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs and beekeepers abound. Beekeepers? Well yes, but one in particular: Ann Harman. Harman lives on a farm outside Flint Hill and has honey in her blood. “I’ve been a beekeeper since the late 1970s but I wanted to be a beekeeper from the time I was a very small child,” she said. Like 5 years old. Educated as a chemist at the University of Maryland, she was in the labor force until motherhood found her tending her own “hive” of three children. As they grew older, she rejoined the workforce as head of the science department at a private school in D.C. “While at Maryland I was enrolled in agricultural classes taught by an excellent professor,” Harman said. He encouraged Harman to take up beekeeping commercially, given her fascination with the little guys. She established a 50-colony honey production operation in Maryland before eventually moving to Flint Hill where she nurtures her own four-hive operation in concert with a neighbor. One of her daughters lives separately on the farm working as a horse veterinarian. One of the pivotal points in Harman’s life was when her former professor also urged her to join various beekeeping associations. Join she did, but not as a passive member. Her love of the flying insects was too strong not to become more deeply involved. To glance at her packed resume is to marvel how far passion can take a person. Consider just a few of her experiences: Maryland State Beekeeper of the Year 1982; 1990 president, Eastern Apicultural Society; vice chairman of the board, Eastern Apicultural Society 1992-2007; president, Virginia State Beekeepers Association 2008-2010; Certified Hon-

Students are not be expected to purchase a hive or bees prior to the course but will be trained to do so by the end of the sessions, which dovetails with the beginning of the bee season.

ISO: New home for feral cats Feral colony pushed out by new construction

By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Mary Smith is a cat lover. She is part of an organization called Animal Angel Aid, a local 501(c)(3) animal rescue, and she, along with other animal advocates, are in desperate need of a new home for about 30 feral cats. “I don’t what we’ll do if we can’t find a place,” said Smith. “They are a stable, healthy colony but we know they aren’t wanted there.” For some six years, a colony of semi-feral cats has been living on undeveloped land near a strip mall off of Va. 234 in Manassas. Construction for new townhomes has plowed much of that forested land down. Now, they are surviving in a 15-by-10-foot area. They will need to be relocated or risk being rounded up and exterminated, Smith said. Currently their shelters are within 15 feet of the new development, which is now selling the new townhomes. Since January 2018, Animal Angel Aid has been working to relocate this group of nearly 30 cats when the woods were demolished and the colony initially plowed through. It’s been a challenge because the cats can’t be placed as barn cats. They need to be protected as they have

been in the colony, Smith said. “These cats are in imminent danger. Animal Angel Aid is fighting for their survival because they are such an amazing, sweet group of cats and they deserve a chance to live,” said Debbie Henry, the founder of Animal Angel Aid. According to Henry, there are kittens living in parking-lot storm drains. It takes a day to shovel out the colonies from the drains and snow-plow piles to allow them to access their food. Winter is here, so it’s also a race against mother nature. Animal Angel Aid is hoping someone can provide some undeveloped land for the cats. In return, the nonprofit will assist the landowner with shelter structures and cat fencing to keep them protected and safe. Caretakers are willing to provide food as community donations allow to anyone who can take them. Animal Angel Aid will transport the colony. The group has set up a GoFundMe page, at https://gofundme.com/ manage/save-colony36-feral-catsplowed-by-construction, with a goal of raising $6,500 for the cats’ relocation. Donations are 100-percent tax deductible and can also be made at www.animalangelaid.org/donations.

Animal Angel Aid has volunteers who feed the cats daily and monitor their health and well-being. The cats adore their caretakers and come running up to their cars upon sight, Henry said. She describes the cats as “a very bonded cat family” and “not roamers.” They don’t have territorial disputes and are “very sweet, some shy, accepting of new cats.” Animal Angel Aid has successfully adopted the kittens and cats as has been possible based on their level of socialization, Henry said. All the cats are spayed or neutered and microchipped and are current with shots. “These cats have no one else to turn to. We reached out to many rescue organizations and coalitions locally. Sadly, community cats exist everywhere. More sadly, we were told to just stop feeding these cats, forcing them to move. Even sadder, there is no place for these 28 cats to go with miles of surrounding commercial/retail,” Henry said. “So, we decided to become their voices. We believe that it is not an option to let the animals go without food or shelter or medical care.” For more information, contact Debbie at 703-498-9699 or animalangelaid@gmail.com.

Hollywood style: local filmmaker looking for milk money By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Jimmy Nguyen of Bealeton has made more than a dozen short movies, from documentary to thriller to comedy. Usually, he’s the director, producer, photographer, sound mixer, editor and actor. His next film, “Milk Money,” due out this summer, will be his first with a professional crew and Screen Actors Guild actors. Milk Money will run 15 minutes and be shot in Catlett. It takes place in current day Fauquier County where dairy farmers are now struggling with historically low milk prices and changing consumer tastes. The log line reads: “Gordon, a directionless young man, helps out on his parents’ struggling dairy farm. When Liam, his younger, adopted Chinese brother, comes home from college, sibling rivalry and desperation pushes Gordon to commit a brazen crime to save the family farm.” Nguyen, 35, is a graduate of the College of William and Mary and a two-year veteran of the Peace Corps in Peru. By day, he’s a video expert at the U. S. Department of Agriculture. “I’m a Vietnamese-American and son of refugees from Vietnam after the war,” he said. “I appreciate their sacrifices and the opportunities I’ve been given growing up in the United States. That’s why I want to go all in on my dream of becoming a great filmmaker.” In every spare moment, he writes all his scripts. “I’ve been wanting to tell a story set in Fauquier County,” Nguyen said. He and his wife, Lenah, a Fauquier County 4-H extension agent, live on 13 acres and have a beekeeping business. “I want to tell rural stories that most audiences don’t get to see because well, let’s face it, most people live in cities and don’t think about what goes on out here.” “The first thing you notice around my area are the old barns and silos that dot the landscape,” he said. “To me, they’re beautiful landmarks that show the history of this area, where there was an abundance of family farms and dairies.” He’s also saddened to see so many family dairies going out of business

at an alarming rate as milk prices have hit historic lows. “I wanted to tell a story of a dairy family struggling with these realities, but from the perspective of two brothers who have grown up and now come back to find their parents in economic and emotional distress,” Nguyen said. For research, Nguyen has interviewed his neighbor, Jimmy Messick of Messick Farms in Bealeton, to learn about the dairy business. In scouting out locations for the movie shoot, he got to know Kraig Smith and Calvin Smith of Nalanda Farms in Catlett and Jerry Byler from Willow Farms, also in Catlett. “I’ve learned a great deal about how a dairy operation works, and how dairies are trying to survive, from all of these farmers,” he said. In addition to writing and pulling a crew together, Nguyen is fundraising through the Seed & Spark website (https://goo.gl/8xDGCX) with a goal of $6,500. “The final cost to shoot, edit and enter it into film festivals will be closer to $10,000,” he said. “I’m hoping to get some donations from local businesses to get close to that mark.” Those who donate will be invited to the premiere at his farm, where guests can mingle with cast and crew, Hollywood-style, in Fauquier County.

• Virginia is home to approximately 90,000 milk cows who live on 615 dairy farms. • Each dairy cow in Virginia provides an average of 2,226 gallons of milk per year. • That’s an average of 7.3 gallons of milk per day. • In 2016, a dairy cow in Virginia cost about $1,760. • Virginia is 24th in milk production, 23rd in number of milk cows, 34th in milk output per cow and 14th in the number of licensed dairy operations • In 2016, the amount of milk produced in the state amounted to 1.72 billion pounds. That’s equal to 200 million gallons. Source: All facts are based on 2016 USDA and VDACS data.

After wrapping up shooting, Nguyen turns to post production. He’ll meet with his director of photography at a studio in North Carolina. They’ll do color-grading, to “determine the movie’s tone and mood.” Next, in order to save money, he’ll edit the film himself. “They say a director is not supposed to edit their own movie because they’re not objective and may keep in unnecessary shots,” he said. “However, I’ll try to stay disciplined. In any case, you don’t get to be long-winded when you’re editing a short movie.” After it’s completed, he’ll enter Milk Money into local film festivals in Virginia, D.C., and Maryland as well as the bigger festivals-: Sundance, Palm Springs International Shortest, and Austin Film Festival. If all goes well, Nguyen hopes to do five different 15-minute shorts, all set in rural Virginia, and turn them into an anthology called, “Country Stories.” “Kind of like the Coen Brother’s ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,’” Nguyen said. “There’s

The countryside of Fauquier County will come alive for Jimmy Nguyen’s next film. plenty of good rural yarns to be told in good old Virginia. “ Does everyone live happily ever after in Milk Money? “The ending of the movie is left open-ended because most farmers know that good times only last so long before there’s a downturn,” Nguyen said. “It’s a constant roller coaster ride and I want to leave audiences in suspense as to what becomes of the two brothers.”

Commercial recording studio available in Old Town Warrenton By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

Once only available for commercial use, Country House Studios is now open for amateur authors and musicians. “We work with publishers, wellknown voice actors and businesses, but there is a need for recording at the amateur level,” says Sam Yoder, creator of Country House Studios and co-founder of Allegro. “With our Inklings Society and Old Town’s Open Book coming in March we will see more authors in the area. In order to be competitive, Indie authors need the audio to accompany their book at the time of release.” Allegro will host workshops on the process of recording and voice acting. All post-production editing, to meet commercial standards, will be completed by Yoder. “The recording studio is available for amateur bands and individuals who want to make demos of their music. We also bring equipment onsite to record events. We contracted with the FRESH program to produce and record jingles written by Gerry Hull promoting healthy, clean eating,” Yoder said. Presidential historian and local resident Doug Wead worked with Country House Studios on his latest book, “Game of Thorns.” “Here I was working with the second largest publisher in the world.

with offices looking onto Rockefeller Center. They publish some of the top-selling books in the world. James Patterson and Michael Connelly are authors. The work of Sam Yoder was the talk of the company,” says Wead. He continued, “Sam Yoder was patient, thorough, a real perfectionist. The resulting product is one that continues to play all over the English-speaking world.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL TO ESTABLISH A MARKET-BASED RATE SCHEDULE DESIGNATED RATE SCHEDULE MBR CASE NO. PUR-2018-00192

On December 11, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) pursuant to § 56-234 A of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and Rule 80 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”) of the State Corporation Commission of Virginia (“Commission”), filed with the Commission an application to establish a new voluntary rate schedule, designated Rate Schedule MBR, Large General Service Market-Based Rate (“Application”). Through its Application, Dominion also seeks the Commission’s approval to close its existing market-based rate schedules to new customers upon the effective date of the new Rate Schedule MBR. According to the Application, Dominion’s existing MBR Schedules, Rate Schedule MBR—GS-3 (Experimental) and Rate Schedule BR—GS-4 (Experimental) (collectively, “Existing MBR Rate Schedules”) are structured to reflect market-based rate (“MBR”) pricing in the PJM Interconnection, LLC (“PJM”) wholesale market. The Existing MBR Rate Schedules are applicable to qualifying customers who would otherwise take service under Rate Schedule GS-3 or Rate Schedule GS-4. The Commission approved the Existing MBR Rate Schedules on September 23, 2016. The Existing MBR Rate Schedules became effective for usage on and after November 1, 2016. The Existing MBR Rate Schedules are set to expire on December 31, 2022. Dominion states that the Company learned that the applicability provisions of the Existing MBR Rate Schedules are too restrictive and have precluded a number of interested customers from participating under these rate schedules. Dominion also states that the Company learned that customers want the Company’s market-based rates to represent more closely how generation demand and transmission service charges are addressed in the PJM wholesale market. Through the Company’s Application, Dominion is thus seeking approval to establish a new voluntary non-experimental MBR rate schedule, designated Rate Schedule MBR, Large General Service Market-Based Rate (“New MBR Rate Schedule”). Dominion proposes to make the New MBR Rate Schedule available to qualifying customers who would otherwise take service under Rate Schedule GS-3 or Rate Schedule GS-4. In response to customer feedback, the Company is proposing several changes from the Existing MBR Rate Schedules in the New MBR Rate Schedules, including: (i) improvement of the applicability and availability of the tariff; (ii) alignment of Generation Demand with the PJM method; (iii) alignment of transmission service charges with the PJM method; and (iv) lowering the Margin Charge. The Margin Charge is intended by Dominion to cover any differences between the Company’s MBR rate as designed and its actual marginal PJM costs to service individual customers, as well as to provide some contribution toward the Company’s administrative and fixed costs. Consistent with the Existing MBR Rate Schedules, Dominion proposes a minimum three-year initial term. At the end of the initial term, a customer’s subscription would renew automatically for additional one-year terms, subject to the eligibility requirements therein. Dominion is not proposing the New MBR Rate Schedules as an experimental tariff. Therefore, and among other things, the proposed New MBR Rate Schedule would not have an automatic end date. If the New MBR Rate Schedule is approved, Dominion seeks an order permitting the Company to amend the Existing MBR Rate Schedules to close them to new customers as of the effective date of the New MBR Rate Schedule. Dominion states that the Company believes the proposed New MBR Rate Schedule is just, reasonable and in the public interest pursuant to Code § 56-234 A because the New MBR Rate Schedule contains market-based components that are closely aligned with the PJM wholesale market. In support of its proposed New MBR Rate Schedule, Dominion further states that the New MBR Rate Schedule is voluntary, and is proposed by Dominion in response to customer demand for MBR pricing. According to Dominion, the New MBR Rate Schedules allow for broader participation than would be available to existing and prospective customers who previously expressed an interest in market-based pricing, but did not qualify to take service under the Existing MBR Rate Schedules. According to Dominion, the New MBR Rate Schedule would provide an avenue for the Company to compete with third-party suppliers of electric energy (competitive service providers “CSPs”) licensed to sell retail electric energy within the Commonwealth. Dominion asserts that permitting the Company to compete with CSPs is in the public interest. Dominion also asserts that when customers take electric energy supply from CSPs, they no longer share, with other Company customers, the cost of generation (including generation-related riders) and fuel. According to Dominion, the New MBR Rate Schedule would thus provide a competitive avenue that would permit the Company to service choice-eligible customers in a just and reasonable manner, in a way that would prevent what Dominion characterizes as the unjustified reallocation of generation and fuel costs to non-participants. Finally, Dominion asserts the New MBR Rate Schedule is in the public interest because it provides a long-term, market-based approach upon which customers could rely in making their long-term energy planning decisions. Such a long-term electric supply option, according to Dominion, creates business certainty for customers. Certainty for the Commonwealth’s larger, commercial and industrial businesses is in the public interest, according to Dominion, because it helps to foster a stable business environment in which entities can plan and grow. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things, directed the Company to provide notice of its Application and provided interested persons an opportunity to comment or request a hearing on the Application. Copies of the Application and the Commission’s Order for Notice and Comment may be obtained by submitting a written request to counsel for Dominion, David J. DePippo, 120 Tredegar Street, Riverside 2, Richmond, Virginia 23219. If acceptable to the requesting party, the Company may provide the documents by electronic means.

FCT’s ‘The Lion in Winter’ opens Jan. 25 By Debra Smyers

Special to the Fauquier Times

“The Lion in Winter” is a fierce tale of untamed power and love set in medieval times. Written by James Goldman, the plot includes dungeons, sibling rivalry, and fighting over who will inherit the throne from King Henry II of England. Fauquier Community Theatre actors have just the right balance of delivering this play, considered to be comedic in tone and dramatic in action, to the audience. Michael Mehaffey, as King Henry II, impeccably delivers one of the most significant lines in the play, “I’ve plotted and schemed all my life. There is no other way to be a king, 50 and alive all at once.” One can imagine the coping mechanisms that King Henry’s wife Queen Eleanor must use to survive,

especially as she has been kept in prison. Or perhaps she is seen as daring since raising an army against her kingly husband. Queen Eleanor is played by Lisa Bailey with perfection, as she embodies all her character’s traits of immense strength, power, and intelligence. Bailey remarks that having acted for more than 40 years, “I have always wanted to portray this role and am honored to do so at Fauquier Community Theatre.” The director, Charles DeLong, has successfully brought the cast together to bring the story alive with much wit, zest and intrigue. He summarizes the characters well in his director’s notes that give the audience context, explaining that they will travel back in time to 1183 to peek into the dysfunctional family lives of King Henry II, Queen Eleanor, Richard (later to be

known as Richard the Lionhearted), John (soon to be King John of Robin Hood fame) and their middle son and brother, Geoffrey. “The audience is given insights into these characters: their loves, their hates, their desires, their frustrations, their victories, as well as their resignations. What we witness is something relatable, something moving and definitely something entertaining,” DeLong said. Fauquier Community Theatre’s production of “The Lion in Winter” is part of its 41st anniversary season. The production is sponsored by Centerview Title Group and through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Co-producers are Sheryl Solow and Brooke Lyn Clark. The nine performances of the play begin Friday, Jan. 25 and continue through Sunday, Feb. 10, at

CONFRONTING DEATH When suddenly confronted with the death of a loved one, it is necessary to go through the grieving process, which doesn’t follow a fixed pattern. As such, each person must grieve in his or her own way and in his or her own time. There is no special time on the calendar when we can point and say that grief is over. Grief is also work, in that people must “work through” their grief, which can be a painful process. Grief can hurt as much, or more, than a physical wound. Fortunately, wounds heal. In the end, we do not “get over” the death of a loved one. We learn to live with the fact of his or her death. Grieving is an intensely emotional time and is often characterized by confusion, forgetting the “little things” occurring at this time, and fear connected with facing life without the person lost. That is why it is important to be patient and understanding. Just being present for support can help. To learn more about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton. “When death overtakes us, all that we have is left to others; all that we are we take with us.” – Unknown

New cookbook shares family stories, recipes

That snow was beautiful, but as someone so aptly commented, “you wouldn’t think so if you have to feed horses and livestock.” As I am writing this column, It seems that we may be in for another blast this weekend with bitter cold, high winds and all the rest of it. We are grateful for a warm house, food to eat and plenty of warm kitties to help ward off the cold. Hope you are that lucky! Here’s a note for the foodies we know. James Kilpatrick (writer, editor and syndicated columnist) and his family had a home near us in Rappahannock County. His wife, Marie Pietri Kilpatrick, wrote a delightful little cookbook entitled “A Pinch Of This and a Soupcon of That,” which included many wonderful stories of family life, plus her great recipes. This book is fun to read and especially the chapters about her beloved Italian grandmother. If you can lay hands on it, you will enjoy it. Some of these cold, gloomy days are good times to shake the family tree and to research the history of long ago relatives. We searched online records (most of them free) and went back through seven generations of family history. There were no bad events except for the murder of our great-great grandfather by an angry student at the University of

10 tools to help keep your New Year’s resolutions We all begin the new year with plans and good intentions for changing habits, healthy eating or exercise regimens to improve our overall lives and surroundings. Sometimes, however, we may try to accomplish more at one time than we can handle, initial enthusiasm wanes, or we haven’t identified the right resolution for us personally. This has a great impact on the success of what we want to accomplish; it’s no surprise that more than half of all resolutions fail. How do we make our new year’s resolutions stick? Setting a goal and having a plan to reach it is the most important step to keeping a resolution. Start small, maybe start with just one project, and give yourself a reasonable time frame to accomplish it. Choosing a goal that is personal and not one others are telling you to choose is also key. And remember that perfection is not the goal – accomplishing the goal is. Most importantly, ask for support from friends, family, a professional organization – or your local library. There are great resources at the library that can help you get started with whatever your new year’s goal is. Stop by and browse, or ask the reference librarian to assist you in finding the right resource – a book, magazine or online class. The list of tools below can help you get started.

If decluttering is part of your new year plan, consider donating gently used books in good, clean condition, CDs, DVDs and books on CD to Fauquier County Public Library or Friends of the Fauquier Library. For a complete listing of what the library can and cannot accept, go to www.fauquierlibrary.org/ support-the-library

Landscapes Challenged by Winter

There are several things to look out for in your landscape during the harsh winter weather. The most obvious will be broken, twisted or hanging limbs in trees and shrubs. High winds and ice-laden plants as well as plain old dead weight can cause these damages. Safety situations demand first priority, followed by repairs, re-shaping and pruning for aesthetics and the health of the plants. Cracks and breaks invite harmful insects and disease organisms as the weather warms. Winter burn can cause evergreens to die back or cause their foliage to turn brown. One thing an old-fashioned winter won’t do is kill off all harmful insects. You can bet that pests like Emerald Ash Borers, bagworms, hemlock wooly adelgid, and a host of other insects will continue to infest trees in spite of the weather. What should you do to protect your landscape? Get in touch with a certified arborist who can inspect your property and provide treatment recommendations. Some of the procedures that they need to perform must be times properly to be effective. If you miss the window of opportunity, it is closed for that growing season and your landscape will have to suffer the consequences. If you have any questions or comments regarding this article or other questions please contact us at cherrell@bartlett.com or (540) 364-2401.

Taylor High School, in 1966. She was a homemaker who was devoted to her family. She constantly put her family above her own wants and need. Her family was truly her greatest accomplishment.

Ezra L. Stern Ezra L. Stern, 80, of Lewes, Delaware formerly of Warrenton, Virginia went home to be with his Lord and Savior on January 14, 2019. He was born on May 19, 1938 in Roaring Spring, PA to the late Luke and Frances Stern. He and his loving wife Linda were married on November 23, 1956. Early in their marriage, he owned and operated a Phillips 66 gas station in Martinsburg, PA. In 1966, he and Linda left Pennsylvania with their belongings, children, and faith in God’s bigger plans. Pop, as he was affectionately known by his family, employees, and customers, worked as an auto mechanic in Washington, DC and Springfield, VA before becoming the owner/operator of Capital Car Care in Springfield, VA in 1977. He was a gregarious man who earned a reputation for being fair and honest to all of his loyal customers, many whose children became customers, and continue as Capital Car Care customers under the leadership of his son and grandson. From drag racing, working in the garden, to fishing on the beach, he loved life and loved being with family and friends. Many were recipients of his generosity, but none more than his family.

Stern of Lewes, Delaware, a son Scott (Camille) Stern of Annandale, Virginia, a son Matt (Sheri) Stern of Chantilly, Virginia, a daughter Lee (Peter) Bisutti of Warrenton, Virginia, a son David (Camille) Stern of Houston, Texas, and a daughter Jill (Craig) Thomas of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Albert Bradley Bechtold My son, Albert Bradley Bechtold was born on September 30, 1991 and died January 17, 2019. He struggled valiantly, suffered profoundly and is now at peace. He was raised in Rappahannock County, where so many gave their all to guide him and love him, for which I am so very grateful. He loved music, his life in recovery, but especially his wife and magnificent children. Albert was not a statistic, he was my son. I grieve with all the parents who have lost their children to heroin and for those who still live with it. Love your children, continue to show them their worth, no matter what. He was predeceased by his father, John Albert Bechtold. He is survived by his wife Brooke Bechtold, their children, Logan James , 4 years old, Esme Rachel, 2 years old, his sister, Marta Bechtold, his mother Rachel Cullerton, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A service in his honor is to be held at Leeds Episcopal Church in Markham, VA on Saturday, January 26 at Noon. Reception to follow in the fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made for the benefit of his children. The family may be contacted directly at bechzula@gmail.com. Arrangements by Royston Funeral Home, Marshall, VA.

Raymond Leon Barker Raymond Leon Barker, age 93, of Haymarket, VA passed away January 19, 2019 in Gainesville, VA. Family and friends have said, “Raymond was one of a kind”. A self-made man, he was a loyal and trusted friend, generous to a fault; a humorous story-teller, who had a gregarious personality and was strongly opinionated. His philosophy in life was “anything worth doing was doing it to excess”. He thought women were magnificent!!! Ray was a patriot, proud to be an Aviation Cadet during WWII and a Marine during the Korean War. He regretted not serving his country in combat. During his 25-year career with the CIA, he traveled the globe numerous times, mainly to the far east. He served with the late Vietnam War hero, Tucker Googleman, and he was interviewed by the Discovery Channel for Mr. Googleman’s life documentary. The highlight of his career was to work on a highly sensitive and classified project, later to be exposed as the Glomar Explorer by the media. After retirement, Ray became a CPA at age 57 preparing tax returns for the next thirty one years. Ray is survived by his wife of 35 years, Georgette; his three sons: Michael, S. Casey (Sarah), Shawn (Terry) by his first wife S. Ann Barker (Deceased); former daughter-in-law, Lauren Fernandez (Patrick Deceased), 5 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren; Georgette’s children: Brian and Amy Summers, grandchildren, Ashley and Brian, who fondly called him, Papa. Also surviving are his dearest friends, Judie O’Reilly, Kadi Saracini and Mary Ellen Cadigan, who were also his caregivers the last year of life. A graveside service with military honors will take place at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery The family suggest in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his memory to either the Shriners Hospitals for Children, Attn: Office of Development, 2900 N.
