Honoring Black midwifery, then and now

‘We are not delivering babies; we are just catching them. Mothers deliver the babies.’

By Nichelle Calhoun

Special to the Fauquier Times

The theme of Black History Month this year is Black health and wellness. This is the story of Black midwives, told through the experience of Monica Friedline, midwife at Fauquier Hospital’s Family Birthing Center.

Monica Friedline, Fauquier Hospital’s first-ever midwife, was always interested in babies. The oldest of five children, she was intimately involved in the day-to-day life of her brothers and sisters.

By her teenage years, the interest was keen.

Monica Friedline, Fauquier Hospital’s first midwife, learned about “granny midwives” as a teenager.

Jones, insisted that if Friedline wanted to be an OB/GYN, she must first learn about the “grand midwives” or “granny midwives,” the Black women healers and midwives that nurtured and sustained their communities through midwifery before obstetrics.

The homeschooled Friedline was handed, “Listen to Me Good,” a book of oral histories about one of Alabama’s last grand midwives.

Prior to reading, “Listen to Me Good,” as a teenager, Friedline admitted that her first impression of midwifery had been a negative one. This impression was undoubtedly shaped by the historic campaigns that often spoke ill of granny midwives nearly 50 years before. These campaigns implied that granny midwives were uneducated, unsanitary and practitioners of “witchcraft.”

County Administrator Paul McCulla will propose lowering the real estate tax rate this year, according to a public notice issued Feb. 16. But because real estate values rose significantly last year after a four-year interval between reassessments, the average tax bill would still increase by about 18% if the new rate is adopted.

Currently set at 99.4¢ per $100 of assessed value — the rate has not changed since 2019 — McCulla’s budget proposal would lower the tax rate to 94¢, which would mark the

Bealeton man convicted of malicious wounding for 2020 stabbing Staff Report On Tuesday, Feb. 15, a jury found Bryan Lee Signor of Bealeton guilty of felony malicious wounding. He now faces between five and 20 years in prison.

A press release from the Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney reported that assistant commonwealth’s attorneys Roshni Dhillon and Nichole Geisenhof led the prosecution in the two-day trial in Fauquier County Circuit Court.

The investigation of the incident began in the early hours of May 22, 2020, when the Warrenton Police Department responded to the Red Roof Inn on Broadview Avenue for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers observed blood on the wall and floor in an area of the second-floor hallway, the release said. Officers located the male victim, who had returned to his room, and arranged an ambulance to transport him for medical treatment. Doctors found that he had a punctured lung and transferred him to Fairfax Inova Hospital, the release said.

Lead investigator Det. Matthew Eggers reviewed video surveillance footage provided by the motel staff, which led to the identification of Bryan Lee Signor as a suspect, said the release.

At the time of the incident, Signor was wearing a court-ordered GPS monitoring device.

Following the stabbing, Signor cut off the device before fleeing Fauquier County, according to the press release. Signor was extradited to Fauquier County from Jacksonville, Florida in June. According to the prosecutors, Signor then admitted to the stabbing and fleeing the area.

Catlett man arrested on child pornography charges A Catlett man was arrested Friday, Feb. 11 on several child pornography charges. Larry Taylor, Jr., 30, faces 10 felony counts of possessing child pornography and one felony count of distributing child pornography.

Taylor is currently being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond, according to Lt. Steven Lewis of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Lewis said that beginning in April 2020, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTipline received multiple reports from internet service providers that child pornography images had been uploaded to an account. Subsequently, the Northern Virginia/ District of Columbia Internet Crimes against

Prosecutors called 12 witnesses in order to provide a detailed timeline of events to the jury, said the commonwealth’s press release.

The press release from the commonwealth’s attorney’s office explained that the Bryan Lee Signor key issue in the case was whether the defendant acted with malice at the time of the attack.

The Code of Virginia Section 18.2-51 establishes the definition of malicious wounding as “Cut, shoot, stab, wound, or otherwise cause physical injury to a victim in a malicious way; and intend to disable, disfigure, maim, or kill the victim.”

The prosecution’s argument was supported by witness testimony, crime scene evidence, video surveillance and a jail call recording of Signor talking about the nature of the crime, said the press release. Video footage of the incident documented the defendant punching, kicking, throwing and ultimately stabbing the victim multiple times with a knife.

The defense’s sole witness was the defendant, who claimed he had acted in self-defense.

At the conclusion of the trial, the jury found the defendant acted with malice and convicted him as charged of malicious wounding.

Signor’s sentencing and probation revocation hearing have been scheduled for May 11.

Signor is also awaiting trial in Frederick County, Virginia on a separate malicious wounding charge.

Children Task Force contacted the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the source of the images.

An investigation determined that Taylor is allegedly the account’s user, Lewis said.

Larry Taylor Jr. In May 2021, Fauquier sheriff’s deputies arrested Taylor on an unrelated charge of possessing methamphetamine and seized several of his electronic devices. A forensic search of Taylor’s cell phone uncovered evidence of the possession of child pornography, Lewis said.

Planners skeptical of changes to Bealeton ‘town center’ development

The broader issue comes down to a conflict between the county’s comprehensive plan, which envisions a Bealeton “town center” district south of Va. 28, and the demands of broader economic forces, which have driven an influx of chain fastfood restaurants and gas stations to the once-sleepy crossroads but few retailers and mid- to high-end restaurants.

The unincorporated community has no trouble adding new residents, with the area growing by more than 1,400 people — 33% — since 2010,

A developer wants to add allowances for a car wash and additional warehouse space to a planned 10-acre “town center” commercial complex in Bealeton. County planners say that the proposal is a step in the wrong direction for the project – it’s been in the works for more than 14 years but has yet to break ground — and for the future of Bealeton as a whole.

The proposed development on a now-vacant lot is adjacent to U.S. 17, across the highway from the Village Center Drive stop light. Dubbed “Wexford Village,” it was originally pitched as a “main street style commercial area,” according to application documents from 2008, when the property was rezoned from residential to commercial use.

Then, developers anticipated the property would be used for “retail, office, financial institutions, eating establishments and other uses.” More than 40 categories of “other uses,” however, were specifically prohibited by the agreement, including warehousing, RV storage and car washes.

Now, though, the developer wants to extend concessions that have already been made to the zoning agreement — these concessions were approved by county supervisors in 2015 — which allowed up to 80,000 square feet of self-storage warehouse space on the property, along with RV storage. The current application asks for an additional 10,000 square feet of self-storage space and allowance for a 4,000-square-foot car wash facility.

On Feb. 17, the Fauquier County Planning Commission voted to delay acting on the proposal for up to 90 days, expressing nearly universal skepticism of the proposed Wexford Village changes. But this relatively minor zoning request is part of a much bigger headache facing county planners.

Piedmont Land Consulting owner Chuck Floyd, who is representing developers Richard Groux and Joe Wiltse during the application process, declined to answer questions about the reasons behind the latest proposed modifications to the zoning agreement.

according to the U.S. Census Bureau. More housing units are either approved or under construction, especially in the massive Mintbrook multi-use development across the highway from Liberty High School.

But while the community sits at the crossroads of Va. 28 and U.S. 17 – both major commuting routes – attracting new businesses aside from gas stations and fast-food restaurants has proved much more difficult, meaning residents often go north to Warrenton, west to Culpeper or east to Manassas for some basic needs.

Despite high volumes of traffic on both roads, “the community is now a ‘non-event’ to most through-travelers on Routes 17 and 28,” according to the county’s 2013 update to the comprehensive plan. “Bealeton is currently a bedroom community of houses, whose residents must look elsewhere for recreational, institutional and shopping needs,” the document said.

The “town center” land use plan included in the 2013 update was intended to spur commercial development to serve local residents, focusing especially on “main street specialty” and “destination retail” businesses. “A traditional town environment requires a different orientation from strip commercial centers,” according to the document.

But little has changed, and the proposals to update the Wexford approvals over the years are not unique.

For instance, the 2012 zoning agreement for Mintbrook called for a large pharmacy building on a certain section of the property. A year ago, however, the developer told supervisors that there had been no interest to build a pharmacy there. Supervisors subsequently approved an amendment to the 2012 agreement, clearing

But he said of the latest Wexford application, “I don’t feel as though we need to give the farm away to get economic development. … And I feel that’s what we’re doing. We’re giving the farm away.”

Commissioner Bob Lee (Marshall District) in 2015 voted against the proposal to add self-storage warehouses to the allowable uses for the Wexford development in the first place. In 2015, “This commission recommended to the board of supervisors that the planned uses on the property were inconsistent with the Bealeton Service District plan,” Lee said last week, “and particularly the town center part of that plan.” Supervisors at the time disagreed and overrode the planners’ recommendation.

“There is definitely a need for us to consider economic development

Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District), whose district encompasses Bealeton, agreed in a conversation with the Fauquier Times that attempts to attract a more diverse array of businesses into Bealeton have often been frustrating.

Origins of African American midwifery

PHOTO BY W.E. SMITH

Nurse-midwife Maude Caullen, North Carolina, and W. Eugene Smith, North Carolina. Witkin-Berley Ltd. 1977 photograph retrieved from the Library of Congress.

Honoring Black midwifery, then and now MIDWIVES, from page 1 Historically, the term granny midwife was a reference to the generally older Black women with experience and knowledge on the plantation during slavery. According to historian Bonaparte, granny midwives all had a spiritual calling, a family legacy of midwifery and training under another grand midwife. Midwifery was often passed down matrilineally from mothers to daughters.

Friedline said she learned that Black midwifery had been long ago made invisible. The practice of obstetrics and state regulation, without consideration of the cultural and historical knowledge of Black midwifery, invalidated it. It medicalized the practice of delivering babies, leaving Black midwives to history.

As a teenager she decided that midwifery was more aligned to her values than a doctor’s degree: natural and less medicalized, pro-woman and especially, pro-marginalized woman.

In 1994, at the age of 17, Friedline went to Ohio Amish country to apprentice as a midwife in a Mennonite community. As an “English,” a term used for non-Mennonites, Friedline was able to enter the intimate space of birthing.

Friedline was struck instantly by the realization that Mennonite women worked steadily through their pregnancies, then quietly and without observable fear, gave birth to their babies. Over the course of two trips, Friedline was able to witness and assist in more than 250 births. Friedline said this time gave her knowledge and confidence to deliver babies naturally — and with less fear.

The legacies of medical racism

When adjusted for education and socio-economic status and prenatal care, Black women are still more likely to face very different maternal outcomes. Black women experience more preterm births than any other group, lower birth-rates than any group, lose their babies at twice the rate and the Black maternal mortality rate is three times higher than that of white women. Black women also face a significantly increased risk of preeclampsia and high blood pressure during pregnancy, which causes serious impact on the mother and babies’ health within the womb.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “multiple factors contribute to these disparities, such as variation in quality healthcare, underlying chronic conditions, structural racism and implicit bias.”

Race has played a powerful role in the historic underserving of Black communities and families.

An unexpected experience

Chai Fuller, public information officer for the Warrenton Police Department, is an enthusiastic first-time mother to 4-month-old Caden. She delivered in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. She and her husband were both eager to welcome their baby boy at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C. However, at around 30 weeks, Fuller’s blood pressure began to rise from normal to high. Fuller ate healthily and “worked out all the time,” she said.

See MIDWIVES, page 5

From Africa to enslavement to Jim Crow, Black midwives were the community healers across the South – including in Fauquier County.

During slavery, Black midwives were mobile, traveling from plantation to plantation often. They carried cherished messages between separated families and information from afar. They had root and plant knowledge that not only helped them “catch babies,” but allowed them to offer healing for the numerous violent cruelties and physical and sexual abuses exacted on the enslaved population.

In a society that capitalized on Black women’s reproductive ability for the profitability of slavery, the grand midwives tried to maintain the humanity and sanctity of the enslaved mother and family while continuing the passing down of cultural knowledge.

Reinforcing the grandmother midwife nomer, they even continued to care for children after enslaved women were forced to return to the fields.

As one historian puts it, midwives literally and metaphorically birthed the African American people and culture.

According to Montia Gardner, Ph.D., Black midwives would have also been active agents of resistance, having special knowledge of what plants controlled enslaved women’s fertility as slave masters commodified their motherhood and took sexual advantage of enslaved women.

Post slavery, Black midwives continued in their important roles. Known for their spiritual, healing and medicinal knowledge, they attended to a range of community health concerns, both preventive and prescriptive, especially given the continued inequities during Reconstruction and through segregation.

In Fauquier County, the Afro-American Historical Association’s Christine Lewis has been researching the names of local Black midwives from 1912 to 1917, gathering midwives’ names and districts from birth certificates.

Black midwives like Susan and Mary Baltimore of the Marshall District, delivered babies each of the five years. Rebecca Nickens, Mary Frances Lawson Bailey Smoot were midwives. Two Black men served as midwives, a shocking historical find in an overwhelmingly woman-dominated field. The two men listed as mid-husbands; on the 1917 birth certificates were Robert Jackson and Luther Wanzer. Both delivered babies in the Scott District.

In the southeastern United States, 75% of African American babies were delivered by midwives well into the 1940s. Now, Black midwives represent fewer than 2% of all midwives in the United States. This transition began as early as the early 20th century in some parts of the country but continued on into the mid-20th century. As obstetrics grew, the campaign against Black midwives did too.

In one assertion by Dr. Thomas Darling in 1911, the Commission of Health for New York City stated, “We know in general that the midwife is commonly employed in this country by the negro and alien populations as well as by many native born of foreign parentage. …

Reports upon midwifery investigations made in several of our large cities, together with observations from those who confront the problem in the rural districts, prove conclusively that the midwife, with very few exceptions the country over, is dirty, ignorant and totally unfit to discharge the duties for which she assumes.

And these women attend approximately 50%.”

Segregation meant that African American access to hospitals was always plagued by separate, inadequately staffed wings with inferior care, creating a legacy of health effects. The delivery of babies by Black midwives allowed for different outcomes in intimate settings that were not under the overarching presence of segregation.

Honoring Black midwifery, then and now MIDWIVES, from page 4 She was surprised by the diagnosis and was assigned bed rest and monitored weekly. Her blood pressure initially dropped but began to creep up again. Her doctor, concerned, said Fuller would need to be induced at 37 weeks.

On a Friday morning at 10 a.m., Fuller and her husband arrived for the induction. The dilation was slow.

For the next 57 hours, Fuller was in slow labor with various painful interventions.

Her temperature skyrocketed to 103 degrees from an infection. She recalls passing out twice over the 57 hours and insisting on more pain medication to help with the relentless cramping and contractions. Fuller’s legs swelled beyond recognition.

She was given magnesium sulfate to avoid seizures but was warned that this could have an impact on the baby. The doctor came in after the medicine was administered and told her that she could keep laboring.

Fuller felt she could not. Fifty-seven hours into her labor, she insisted on a C-section. Fuller said, “I had an infection, was in great pain, swollen from thigh to ankle, unable to move, with no ability to push. I had nothing left.”

When Caden was born, “he came out not breathing due to the magnesium,” she said. After he spent four hours in the NICU, finally Fuller was able to hold her son that Sunday night. The Fuller family was able to leave Walter Reed five days after labor was induced.

She said, “Warrenton is a big family, so many from the department were calling her and texting her, thinking she had delivered or was doing well, but I was in the midst of this harrowing experience.” It was not until Fuller began to share a bit of her story that she realized some of her experience was shared by other Black women.

African American women are more at risk for gestational high blood pressure, which can cause

many complications and lead to preeclampsia (having high blood pressure and proteins in the urine).

In an old new direction

Creating a different type of birth experience is what Monica Friedline envisioned when she became a certified nurse midwife. Midwives and doulas offer emotional support throughout a pregnancy and labor.

Especially after hearing about Fuller’s experience, Friedline wanted to emphasize the importance of caregivers being proactive with mothers-to-be who have risk factors for preeclampsia. Friedline said that Black women are predisposed to developing preeclampsia; being both a first-time mother is another risk factor for preeclampsia. If high blood pressure runs in the family – as it did for Fuller -- it would be an additional risk factor.

Friedline said mothers with preeclampsia can have babies that are smaller for their gestational age or preterm birth babies. The only cure for preeclampsia is delivery.

Friedline said that throughout history, preeclampsia has impacted Black women. In slave narratives, enslaved women talked about pain in their wrists and temples, blinded vision, all symptoms of what the granny midwives referred to as toxemia, now known as preeclampsia.

Friedline understands how the history of exclusion has often left Black mothers, families and children at a medical disadvantage. It is the very reason that Friedline became a midwife — to bring different maternal outcomes to Black families.

In 2019, her dream to bring midwifery services to Fauquier County, her home and paternal ancestral home, came true. In the Fauquier Health OB/GYN Midwifery division, physicians and midwives work together for optimal outcomes.

When asked what she wanted others to know regarding midwifery, Friedline was clear: “Midwives are well-trained health professionals that specialize

Firefighters contain a 10-acre Morrisville fire Feb. 19 On the afternoon of Saturday, Feb. 19, units from several fire and rescue services and the Virginia Department of Forestry contained and extinguished an approximately ten-acre brush fire in the Morrisville area. The blaze, which fed on the day’s dry and windy conditions, sparked in property adjacent to the Dominion substation on Shipps Store Road, according to Remington Volunteer Fire Chief Ian Brill.

Personnel from Fauquier County Fire and Rescue, Stafford County Fire and Rescue, the Virginia Department of Forestry and units from Remington, Goldvein, Catlett and Lois volunteer fire companies responded to the fire.

Brill said that firefighters were called to the fire around 4:30 p.m.

The fire was running through undergrowth in a heavily wooded area,

Several local firefighting companies and the Virginia Department of Forestry worked together to contain a 10-acre fire in Morrisville Feb. 19.

Brill said, which made it difficult to get personnel and equipment into place. Department of Forestry staff then cut a fire line around the forest to contain the fire, and firefighters were able to extinguish the brush fire around 7 p.m., Brill continued.

The cause of the fire remains unknown. Brill said, however, that there was no evidence to suggest that the nearby power substation started the fire.

Bill Woodbury always had an insatiable drive to tackle a challenge.

“Early on when we were dating, he took me to a 1740 house that was falling apart and told me of his plans to restore it,” said his wife, Hally Woodbury.

He bought the old house, and the two married shortly after in 1971 at the Old Chapel in Fort Myers, Florida. They honeymooned in Williamsburg where they did some architecture research and antique shopping for the house. When not working for the Department of the Navy, Bill Woodbury was restoring the house with skills he acquired tinkering alongside his father.

The Hunter Mill House, as it was named, was a hunting lodge for the 6th Lord of Fairfax. Woodbury spent more than a decade preserving its history for future owners.

At the Hunter Mill House, the couple raised their only child, a daughter Alex, until relocating to Fauquier County in 1986 to take on a new challenge: a 170-year-old house on almost as many acres. “The house at Winfall farm was a century younger than the Hunter Mill House but not in much better condition. It was recommended that we bulldoze it, but Bill wouldn’t have it,” said Hally Woodbury. Nearly four decades later, the farm has become Woodbury’s legacy.

There he studied farming techniques, raised beef cattle and grew high-quality hay.

Bill Woodbury with grand daughters Halliday and Pippa “My father was always up to try something new that required cost, planning and building,” said Alex Kelly-Maartens who moved, with her husband and two young daughters, to the farm in 2016. During the first COVID summer, her father oversaw a patio installation with large stones collected from a riverbank on the farm.

But Woodbury also enjoyed simple pleasures. “He was the king of French Toast,” said his daughter. Woodbury took charge of Sunday morning breakfasts and knew that French toast wasn’t complete without maple syrup.

“Two years ago, I read an article about maple syrup tapping and asked my dad if we had any maple trees on the property,” said Kelly-Maartens.

“He laughed because when my parents bought the farm, my mom had planted some. Turns out we were surrounded by maples,” she added.

That year, Kelly-Maartens and her father tapped the farm’s maple trees for the first time.

“My father wanted to share everything he learned and experienced with other people,” said Kelly-Maartens. “Since my family moved onto the farm, we had begun to transition into agritourism to share what the farm had to offer with our community.”

Unfortunately, during the early planning stages of the new farm program, Woodbury received an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) diagnosis.

“My father had beat cancer twice. This diagnosis was the only thing that had ever held him back,” said Kelly-Maartens.

Four months after the diagnosis, Kelly-Maartens processed the collected sap and made the first batch of Winfall Farm syrup. “I was determined to have my father with me while making our first batch of sap. Since he was chairbound and unable to get to my house for the sap boil, I Facetimed him for five of the eight-hour sap production. As soon as we were done, I rushed over to have him try some. Mind you, he received a feeding tube in See 5K, page 7

County administrator to propose lower real estate tax rate TAX, from page 1 “The board’s got over a month of budget meetings where they will discuss and hash out this rate. I would fully expect the no-higher-than number not to be the adopted rate,” Granger said. “A lot of this stuff has kind of been on hold for a couple of years. [County agencies] are making the asks, but that goes back to — it may not get funded,” he added.

Real estate taxes are the main source of local revenue for the county government, accounting for $102 million of the total $160 million in local revenue included in the current $192 million general fund budget.

(The current adopted county budget totals $341 million, including the school division.)

The tax is divided into three components. Currently, an 85.5¢ tax goes to the general fund, a 13.3¢ fire and rescue levy pays for those services and 0.6¢ goes toward a fund that pays the owners of working farms to keep their land undeveloped.

After last year’s reassessment, each cent of real estate tax is now worth roughly $1.45 million, county budget director Lisa Henty explained Monday. A 94¢ tax rate for 2022 would equate to roughly $18 million in additional real estate tax revenue overall compared to the current budget.

Last year, outside the regular an-

Budget adoption schedule

Fiscal Year 2023 begins July 1, and county supervisors are currently set to approve on April 4 the FY 2023 budget, the real estate tax rate for calendar year 2022 and a five-year capital spending plan. A public hearing is scheduled for March 15.

Board of supervisors budget meetings are designated below with “BoS.” School board budget meetings are designated with “SB.” • Feb. 28, 6 p.m.: SB work session and public hearing at Fauquier High School • March 4, 1 p.m.: BoS work session at the Warren Green Building • March 10, 4 p.m.: BoS work session at the Warren Green Building • March 15, 3 p.m.: BoS/SB joint work session, location to be determined • March 15, 7 p.m.: BoS public hearing at Fauquier High School • March 18, 2 p.m.: BoS work session at the Warren Green Building • March 29, 2 p.m.: BoS work session at the Warren Green Building • March 31, 4 p.m.: BoS mark-up/mark-down at the Warren Green Building • April 4, 4 p.m.: BoS budget adoption at the Warren Green Building nual budget process, county supervisors committed millions in additional spending to fund permanent pay raises for county employees, including teachers, firefighters and sheriff’s deputies. Supervisors also recently funded 12 new professional firefighter positions for Warrenton, committing the county to $1.1 million of additional yearly spending.

Planned capital improvement projects will also drive the need for more revenue. The construction of a consolidated courthouse, the construction of a Bealeton fire station, improvements to the Central Sports Complex and the expansion and renovation of Taylor Middle School are all included in the county’s current five-year spending plan.

Additionally, the school division’s draft budget asks for an additional $10.3 million in funding over last year from county taxpayers, part of an overall 12.7% spending increase proposed to increase teachers’ pay.

Through off-cycle adjustments to the current year’s budget, supervisors have already committed $2.9 million to that request. Neither Granger nor Henty, however, indicated whether supervisors are prepared to fund the remaining $7.4 million request in its entirety.

State legislation could affect county budget

Also a factor is the possible repeal of the 2.5% state tax on groceries and other legislation pending in Richmond. Two-fifths of the tax on

groceries funds local governments, another two-fifths goes to local school divisions and one-fifth pays for local road projects.

The House of Delegates passed a bill Feb. 15 that would repeal all taxes on groceries, which would reduce Fauquier County revenues by about $2.5 million. The Senate passed a compromise measure the same day that would reduce the grocery tax to 1%, keeping funding for local governments in place. As the two chambers begin the process of reconciling the two competing bills, Gov. Glenn Youngkin continues to advocate for a full repeal of the tax, as he did during his campaign last year.

Granger also pointed to Senate Bill 472, which would allow localities to impose up to a 1% sales tax to fund the construction or renovation of schools. That bill, which passed the Senate last month and is currently in a House committee, could ease the burden on local real estate tax revenue.

Specifically, nearly $60 million of planned spending to renovate and expand Cedar Lee and Taylor middle schools could, in theory, be shifted from real estate owners if the bill is passed. “A lot of long-term tax implications are going to come out of what happens in the General Assembly,” said Granger.

Knights of Columbus raises funds for veterans The local Knights of Columbia Assembly recently conducted its most successful fundraiser for local veteran groups at Chick Fil-A, during which the organization raised more than $10,000. Recipients of the money raised will benefit the following: USO of Metropolitan Washington; Baltimore VA Hospital in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Boulder Crest Foundation in Bluemont, Virginia; Able Forces in Front Royal; and the Paralyzed Veterans of America, Mid-Atlantic chapter in Hopewell, Virginia.

Land Trust of Virginia receives grant from Virginia Environmental Endowment The Land Trust of Virginia announced it has been awarded a oneyear grant from the Virginia Environmental Endowment. The $20,000 grant was awarded for the program titled “Expanding the Elements of the Land Trust of Virginia’s Core Work.”

According to Sally Price, executive director, LTV’s core work includes three programs — conservation easement acquisition, easement

stewardship and public education.

“In the past 18 months, our work in all three areas has expanded, prompting us to apply for funding from VEE to increase our capacity to continue performing high-quality land conservation.”

Funding from this grant has contributed to the hiring of two additional staff members, a communications and education manager and an additional stewardship associate.

Planners skeptical of changes to Bealeton ‘town center’ development WEXFORD, from page 3 But he pointed to the county’s contract with Retail Strategies – a business development company that conducts detailed market research and uses that data to pitch businesses to relocate to a community – and new Director of Economic Development Doug Parsons as reasons for hope.

“I agree that fast food seems to be all that wants to come,” said Butler, pointing out that most do not need any special approval from the board of supervisors, since much of Bealeton is already zoned for commercial use.

But, he said, “We have renewed our contract with Retail Strategies, and Doug is working with them to fill the parcels and buildings that are empty. … I am hopeful [they] can attract more of what the folks in Bealeton want to see.”

Parsons, who has been at the helm of Fauquier’s economic development efforts for about five months, was for his part optimistic about Bealeton’s prospects in a phone conversation Tuesday.

The combination of a more concentrated population, rising incomes, a lessening of the pandemic’s economic effects and a concerted effort to pitch the area to companies mean that the coming years could see Bealeton attract the kind of retail and service industry businesses that are attractive to residents.

“As this area grows, I think they are going to attract some of these things that people want to see,” he said Tuesday. “I think it just takes some time – and things are moving in the right direction.”

Supervisors made clear to him when he was hired that pitching the Bealeton-Opal-Remington area to more “town center”-type businesses is one of the county’s top priorities, he said. Also, he emphasized, “They made it clear to me that development is fine – but we want the right kind of development.”

Attracting businesses like retail shops, sit-down restaurants and grocery stores has, in the past, been a challenge in Bealeton because of the

relatively close proximity of the regional commercial centers of Warrenton and Culpeper, he explained.

To some degree, Bealeton and the surrounding area just haven’t had enough concentration of people and disposable incomes to support, for instance, a second grocery store or “destination” shops – the types of stores that can be found in abundance in Warrenton and Culpeper.

But as more housing is added in and around Bealeton, Parsons is confident that the scales will start to tip.

“As the population grows … there’s going to come a time when they have the numbers, they have the rooftops,” said Parsons. “I think that over time you’ll start to see that down there.”

I took my mason jar of our first batch of Winfall syrup and poured some on my finger for him to taste. He could not speak, so I got big approving body sway, nod and smile. This was our last project together,” said Kelly-Maartens.

Woodbury died of ALS Jan. 6 of this year.

In honor of Woodbury and the legacy he leaves behind, Kelly-Maartens has organized a Run with the Sap 5K on March 26 to benefit the ALS Association.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Support the superintendent of schools’ budget that supports teachers In the past two years I’ve seen more parent and citizen involvement and advocacy around public schools than in the 18 years I’ve lived in Fauquier County. Certainly, the pandemic and the policies and mitigation efforts around it stirred up strong emotions that compelled many to be more engaged than they would have otherwise. While I don’t always agree with everything being advocated, I think increased involvement and attention from the community is a positive.

There is a unique opportunity this year for all of us who are active advocates for public schools. Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Jeck

has proposed an aggressive budget to help our teachers and school staff with a much-needed compensation increase and relief from a decades-long salary compression problem. His budget proposes an across the board 5% raise for staff with targeted raises to address compensation. Further, the budget continues the work begun three years ago to bring staff in line with market salary increases. Overall, the budget proposes an average compensation increase of 13% for school staff.

To accomplish this, Dr. Jeck has stated that this budget “Takes every dollar not tied to something else and applies it to compensation.”

This means that the school district (including state funding) will apply just over $8.4 million to the compensation package and asks that the county contribute $7.4m to make up the difference to fund the raises and adjustments.

I want to challenge everyone who has been passionately advocating for our schools and their children over the past two years to put that same amount of energy into supporting this budget. Our teachers deserve it; school staff deserve it; our kids deserve it; and if our school district wants to attract and retain great teachers for our kids, they have to provide a competitive compensation

package. I encourage you to write to your school board and board of supervisors members and let them know how you feel about this budget. Let them know that you support our teachers and school staff, and that they should also.

For a great summary of the budget in a quick and easy-to-digest format. Dr. Jeck and Tara Helkowski have created a short video you can watch here: https://youtu.be/ PFgg0Lk5u3A The detailed proposed budget can be found here: https://www.fcps1. org/Page/3560 MICHAEL HAMMOND Warrenton

Officer recruitment starts young During Christmas break, 4-yearold Tori Sutphin told her grandmother Heather Sutphin (Warrenton Town Council member) that she wants to be a police officer when she grows up.

Warrenton Police Department Chief Mike Kochis and PIO Chai Fuller agreed to “swear her in” as a junior police officer. Officer Johnna Sylvester presented Tori with a plastic junior police badge and a goodie bag, along with a document

that said, “I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon me as an honorary Junior Warrenton Police Office, according to the best of my ability, so help me God.” The chief and Tori signed their names to the document, although Tori might need a little practice on that.

Tori was encouraged to sit in the front seat of Officer Sylvester’s cruiser, just to get a feel for it.

Gardening is good for the mind and the body Good nutrition is such an important part of wellness; it’s one of many reasons to consider gardening instead of relying on store-bought food.

Gardening also provides enough physical activity to increase blood flow, strengthen muscles and keep your mind engaged. Routine activity, like gardening every day, also reduces our risk of stroke, while opening the door to a longer, healthier life.

Better nutrition

Gardening is, of course, a cinch in suburban or rural communities. But even in town, box gardens offer an everyday alternative to processed, packaged and fast food, which can be loaded with unhealthy additives and health-impacting negatives like cholesterol and salt.

Consuming fresh, organic produce in the form of healthful vegetables and fruits addresses a myriad of endemic health issues for seniors, and you’ll be saving money while picking your own lettuce and asparagus.

See GARDENING, page 14

The community garden with the focus on community

By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Every gardener reaps a different harvest from the Remington Community Garden. Some plant tomatoes; some grow Chinese cabbages; and some benefit most from the peace of mind that comes from – literally – getting their hands dirty.

John Waldeck, who with his wife Mary Beth, has had a hand in developing the Remington Community Garden, the Little Free Pantry and the Little Free Veggie Wagon, as well as the twice-monthly farmers markets in town, makes it seem like the project came together on its own. “Everyone helps; people donate; it just works,” he said.

But the 12-member board of directors for the garden is a handson group, and it has taken several years to get some of the amenities in place. There is a shed with fertilizer (every gardener gets a key), three spigots for irrigation and even a portable restroom. Remington United Methodist Church is behind the effort – the garden and pavilion are

Mary Beth and John Waldeck in the Remington Community Garden

on church property -- and the PATH Foundation donated funding for the covered pavilion. When gardeners suggested they would like a water source, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church – next door to the garden -- allowed the group to tap into their water system.

“We have yet to have any major issues anywhere,” said Waldeck.

“People can come anytime they need to work on their plot. No fences; no problems.”

The garden has 35 15-foot by 15-foot plots available; seven of those plots are dedicated to growing produce for the community.

Gardeners who have their own plots donate some of their time and expertise to make sure the

community plot is productive.

About 50% of those who have plots are really good gardeners, said Waldeck, and another third have “some” experience. The newbees, he said, get lots of advice from the more experienced gardeners. Several of the Remington folks are master gardeners and are happy to share their secrets.

John Wladeck said, “Everybody loves the garden. We need more people to know about it, and we need more volunteers, to provide either sweat or money. The focus of the garden has always been the community. The fact that there are vegetables is just a bonus.”

Seniors who slowly lose their hearing can find themselves feeling gradually more isolated.

Age-related hearing loss is treatable The loss of your hearing usually starts as a nuisance but can develop into something far more debilitating.

Many adults who are 65 and older suffer from this condition, and it often happens so slowly that you might not initially be aware of the changes.

Many seniors feel isolated and “left

out” when they can’t hear conversation, and communication problems it causes can exacerbate feelings of loneliness or depression.

Thankfully, there is help available to improve, and, in some cases, restore hearing.

Vacation ideas – far and wide or close to home Many people spend the bulk of their work lives dreaming of golden years spent relaxing.

There’s more to retirement, however, than lounging on the couch.

Travel planning can build in plenty of free time, and there’s just a much better view.

Day trips

The easiest way to start traveling is to experience the wonders that are literally all around you. You might be surprised by how much adventure awaits within a day’s drive of your front door. Visit parks – Shenandoah and Sky Meadows, for instance -and museums – D.C. is only an hour away. Culpeper and Winchester offer quaint old-fashioned downtown areas to walk, shop and eat. A short drive to Rappahannock will open up a world of art galleries and studios.

You might find places to eat, shop and enjoy local entertainment that you’d never heard of, while acting as a tourist in your home state. And best of all, these trips are affordable for everyone, especially those on a fixed income.

Bus trips

Want someone else to do the driving? Bus tours are a terrific option for seniors, because you don’t have to worry about getting there. These tours often take care of all of the planning and scheduling, as well.

Passionate Caregivers, Exceptional Care You can bring people from your circle of friends or make new ones along the way. Churches, senior centers and local tourism organizations can tell you more about what’s available in your area.

Dream trips

Everyone has that one place, either domestic or international, where you’ve always wanted to visit. Now’s the time. Begin budgeting early and save — then look for bargains. Budget airline travel and special package deals can smooth the way, if you’re patient and persistent in searching for them.

Regular gardening provides a wealth of benefits.

Gardening is good for the mind and the body GARDENING, from page 11

Community

Condo or apartment living can be ideal for busy seniors, but gardening becomes more constrained.

That’s where local senior centers, community allotments and gardening clubs come in. Many are funding programs meant to spark interest in gardening, building stand-alone projects in the community and providing educational classes on nutrition and cooking to help people turn their new hobby into finished meals.

Take it easy

Gardening doesn’t have to be hard. Try raised beds, or large planters and pots, since they can be tended without having to bend over. There are also a variety of tools that make the process easier for seniors: Purchase a garden cart to make hauling

McClanahan Camera www.mccamera.com

supplies, fertilizer and tools easier.

There are hand-held blades that are specially hooked for weeding. Drip irrigation systems and soaker hoses eliminate the need for dragging a garden hose around.

Perfect exercise

You’ll often see seniors walking through the local mall or neighborhood in a bid to stay active. Gardening provides similar benefits, and there’s a delicious payoff at the end. You’ll have to water, rake, pull weeds and pick fresh produce, just the kind of light exercises that help keep us fit without wearing us down.

And you’ll have to maintain a regular exercise schedule, because the plants require everyday attention.

Afterward, you can gather around a table stuffed with organic foods to unwind and enjoy.

HEARING, from page 12

Types of hearing loss

Seniors can lose their hearing for a variety of reasons. For instance, a condition called presbycusis impacts both ears, coming on gradually as we age. It has been linked to genetics by researchers.

Tinnitus, another form of hearing loss, can be even more difficult to live with; its origins are more mysterious, too. The condition causes a roaring or ringing in the ears, making it difficult to hear other sounds. Concentration and sleeping can be impacted.

The causes of tinnitus aren’t entirely known, though working in very loud environments, damage to the ears, high blood pressure and allergies are believed to be predictive.

Getting help

Treatment options include hearing aids, prescription medicine and even surgery, depending on the particular grade of loss. If you’re having trouble hearing loved ones on the phone or have to keep your television volume at unusually high levVACATION, from page 13 Traveling is a great way to meet new friends, discover new experiences and unwind in a new setting.

Family trips

If you’re like most seniors, you have family members scattered all over, as siblings, children and cousins followed their career and rela-

els, it might be time to explore your options with a physician.

They may recommend aids that fit comfortably into your ears, or assistive devices like telephone amplification systems. Medical procedures like the cochlear implant, which is surgically embedded, are recommended for severe hearing loss.

Expert advice

Embarrassment or unfamiliarity with the technology are often barriers to returning to normal life with hearing loss. Don’t let this very treatable condition become a hindrance to enjoying time with friends and family.

If your general practitioner can’t help, they might refer you to an otolaryngologist, who are doctors who specialize in problems with the ear, nose and throat. They may also direct you toward an audiologist who’s trained to measure hearing and provide services to help. Hearing loss often gets worse with time, so don’t put it off. A world of sound and experience awaits. tionship paths. Why not schedule one long trip to see each of them, visiting one relative at a time for short spare-bedroom stays?

When it’s all said and done, you may have seen a good bit of the country. Before you go, call local chambers of commerce to find out more about regional attractions and ask for their event calendars. There might be some solo adventures awaiting, as well.

KINGSLEY’S CORONATION

Fauquier’s Menifee outduels Kettle Run’s Chumley to win Class 4 wrestling title at 182 pounds

By Fred Hodge

Great Bridge dominates

Special to the Fauquier Times

Nothing but gold would do for wrestling star Kingsley Menifee this year.

And no one could stop him from that goal.

Dominant all season at 182 pounds, the Fauquier High junior wrestler finished atop the podium at Saturday’s Class 4 state meet, concluding his year-long quest to be the best.

“He had the right mindset all weekend and got the burden off of his back by winning a state title,” Fauquier coach Chad Hoffman said. “[The title] was one of many of his goals. He had a bitter taste in his mouth all year after losing in the finals last year,” said Hoffman, who had watched Menifee’s focus during the past year. “I’m super happy for him.”

After his second-place finish at 182 in 2021, the Falcon responded with a torrid off-season regimen.

He won four consecutive matches Friday and Saturday – beating Kettle Run rival Abram Chumley 4-0 in the final – to add the state crown to the earlier Northwestern District and Region 4C titles.

Menifee was one of six county grapplers to earn medals in the twoday event. Kettle Run’s Chumley was the 182-pound runner-up, while Liberty’s Foster Cardinale took

Great Bridge, which entered with 14 individual regional champions, sent 10 wrestlers into the championship semifinals and finished five gold medalists in walloping the competition. The state-champion Wildcats tallied 235 points to almost double the 120.5 scored by runner-up Sherando.

Eastern View (117.5). Loudoun County (98.5) and Spotsylvania (72) completed the top five schools.

Liberty placed seventh with 65 points. Fauquier had 45 for 17th and Kettle Run scored 30 in a fourway tie for 20th.

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Falcon Kingsley Menifee (above) won the Class 4 title at 182 pounds Saturday.

Liberty’s Foster Cardinale lost in the 126-pound final. Eagle Noah Hall was third at 145 and brother Royce fourth at 170. second at 126. Liberty’s Noah Hall was the 145-pound bronze medalist, with brother Royce adding a fourth at 170. Reece Kuhns from Fauquier (152 pounds) ended up in sixth place.

Menifee opened his run Friday with a fall over Dominic Turner of Orange County in one minute, 37 seconds. In the quarterfinal round, he dispatched Sam Diggs from Deep Creek in 2:55 via fall to earn a berth in Saturday morning’s championship semifinals.

Evan Alger of Pulaski County was Menifee’s next victim, with the Falcon posting an 11-2 major decision.

“He was extremely tough on top,” Hoffman said, pointing to the constant pressure Menifee applied, frustrating each opponent and wearing them down. “If you’re good on top, good things happen.”

A familiar foe awaited Menifee in the 182-pound championship match in Cougar junior star Chumley. Menifee won all three previous

encounters this season, but the gap had narrowed each time. The most recent contest was a 4-2 match in the regional championship round. They also were the district’s finalists.

The fourth Menifee-Chumley bout was scoreless after the first two-minute period. Menifee chose the down position to begin the second, recording an escape four seconds in off a sit out maneuver to his right. He registered the match’s lone takedown 18 seconds later and carried the 3-0 margin into the final period. Chumley was unable to generate any threat due to Menifee’s tough riding, See WRESTLING, page 19

Kettle Run boys upset No. 1 Millbrook, 50-48, to make regions

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

After an erratic 6-6 regular season record, the senior-laden Kettle Run Cougars boys basketball team is showing its true stripes.

Coach Christian Yancey has always believed, saying three weeks ago, “We are a team no one wants to face in the postseason.”

Yancey’s prophesy has proven true.

After opening the Northwestern District with a strong 66-46 quarterfinal win over Liberty, the No. 4-seeded Cougars (12-9) used that momentum for a huge performance in the semifinals when they led from start to finish to defeat No. 1 seed Millbrook 50-48.

The win qualified the Cougars for the Class 4 Region C playoffs. They played Tuesday at Loudoun County, which won the Dulles District.

Kettle Run fell to No. 2 seed Sherando 53-43 in the district tournament final.

Against Millbrook, the Cougars started strongly, taking a quick 6-0 lead on two 3-pointers by Damien Sirisena in the opening minutes. The Tuesday’s Region 4C semifinals: Kettle Run at Loudoun County; Loudoun Valley at Sherando.

Championship is Feb. 24.

District boys tournament results

Sirisena’s 14-foot baseline jumper made it 20-7 before Millbrook closed to 26-19 at halftime.

Kettle Run continued to play well in the third, opening a 30-21 lead on two baskets by Jacob Robinson. Two Jordan Tapscott hoops gave the Cougars a 39-28 lead.

Millbrook went on an 8-0 run to make it 3936, then closed to 42-41 with 4:11 left. Baskets by Sirisena and Tapscott restored the lead to 46-41, and the Cougars held on down the stretch.

There were some nervous moments, however.

Sirisena was fouled with five seconds left and missed as Milbrook’s Detric Brown rushed upcourt and missed a pull-up 3-pointer near the top of the key for the win at the buzzer.

This is Kettle Run’s second region berth in Yancey’s three years.

As a first-year varsity coach in 2019-20, Yancey guided Kettle Run into the regional playoffs, pulling off a similar semifinal tournament upset. The Cougars went 1-6 in the pandemic-marred 2020-21 year.

Fauquier girls fall to No. 1 Millbrook 61-36 in district semis

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier’s girls basketball team traveled to No. 1 seed Millbrook Feb. 15 knowing all of its starters were not available for the Northwestern District semifinal game.

Missing was the starting backcourt of Gabby Garrison and April Belcher, both out with injuries. Millbrook had scouted Fauquier’s quarterfinal contest with Kettle Run four days earlier and knew the Falcons were shorthanded in the backcourt.

The Pioneers opened with a three-quarter court press, causing 34 turnovers in the contest en route to a 61-36 win.

“You go into the semifinals, and you’re not fully equipped,” Falcon coach Brian Foddrell lamented.

“[Millbrook] did what any team would have done.”

The outlook worsened when Skye Corum suffered a concussion late in the second quarter. Makayla Foddell moved from forward to guard to help with ball handling. That left Skyler Furr as the only consistent frontcourt scoring threat. Furr finished with a team-high 12 points.

Furr, however, collected her fourth foul in the third quarter to leave Fauquier with only one player of its core group on the floor.

“We were a skeleton crew,” Foddrell laughed. “We didn’t have anybody to offset the experience that was not on the floor.”

The coaches soon decided to go the rest of the game with younger players to gain experience.

Skyler Furr led the Falcons with 12 points in the season-ending loss to Millbrook.

The Falcons finished 11-8 overall and 6-6 in district play for fourth place one season after winning the regu-

lar-season and tournament crowns.

“It was somewhat of a disappointment. We struggled all year trying to get our chemistry,” Foddell said. But we fought really hard in most of our district games.

“I’m not frustrated. I just wanted to get our seniors back to the regionals again.”

Kettle Run’s ‘amazing’ swim season ends at states

By Jason S. Rufner

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Kettle Run Cougars came in 10th in the boys competition and 12th in the girls scoring at the Class 4 state championship swim meet Feb. 18 at Collegiate School Aquatic Center in Richmond.

The Fauquier boys placed 20th out of 33 teams.

Freshman Jackson Tishler earned

the highest placement for the Cougars, taking fourth in the boys 100yard butterfly in 51.75 seconds.

Sophomore Lily Von Herbulis came in fifth in the girls 100-yard freestyle with a 53.07, less than a fifth of a second behind fourth.

The Falcons were led by senior Mason Worst, who swam to seventh in the 50-yard freestyle with a 22.43, netting 11 of his team’s 19 points.

Worst also competed in the consolation final of the 100-yard freestyle, doing it in 48.68 seconds to collect seven more points.

Kettle Run’s first-year coach Alex Ciopyk was “incredibly impressed with how our team performed.”

“Everyone that partook did amazing and I could not have asked for a better overall event for our team,” he said.

Five other county wrestlers advanced to the state tournament.

Kettle Run’s Nate Hardesty and Liberty’s Evan Cox both had 2-2 records at 106 pounds, each registering two pins. Kettle Run’s Ryan Cruger (138) and Liberty’s Kavon Bumbrey each had a pin in their 1-2 tournament stint. Leo Rodriguez (195) of Fauquier never got on the mat due to a rib injury that caused breathing difficulties.

Fauquier’s Kuhns met Sherando’s Brogan Teter for fifth place in a rematch of the regional final. They were tied 3-3 after regulation, requiring overtime. Teter was able to grab Kuhns’ forward leg and turn the advantage into a takedown 16 seconds into the sudden-victory period in the 5-3 decision.

Kuhns finished his tournament with a 3-3 mark that included a win by pin and one via major decision. “[Reece] knew this was his last shot to get on the podium for his senior year,” coach Hoffman said. “He did just that. He wrestled hard, never doubted himself, and came away with a medal.”

Liberty hoped for three champions at Virginia Beach.

The Eagles came away a little short as Foster Cardinale took silver at 126 pounds, Noah Hall won bronze at 145 with Royce Hall placed fourth at 170.

“Honestly, I think we failed a little bit as wrestlers and maybe as coaches,” Liberty coach Wes Hawkins said. “It’s a group effort. It wasn’t like just one kid lost.”

After the glory of the school’s first-ever state wrestling title in 2021, Hawkins just wanted his wrestlers to have a better day.

Cardinale’s gold-medal match was scoreless through two periods. Great Bridge’s Caleb Neal went down for the final period, and Cardinale almost turned him to his back 15 seconds in.

Neal recovered and eventually was able to spin behind for a reversal with 1:13 to go. Cardinale escaped with 18 seconds but could not score again.

The 2-1 result was the closest match of the final round.

“The styles matched up weird there,” Hawkins said. “The kid is real long. That kind of hurt Foster [who is shorter]. He does struggle a little bit in those type of situations.

“Those things happen.”

Noah Hall, the defending state champion at 145, scored first with a reversal 30 seconds into the second period en route to a 4-1 lead. Lightridge’s Nicholas Marck was on top to start the

third period and briefly turned Hall to his back but did not score. Hall immediately responded with a power move for a reversal, placing Marck on his back for a pin in 3:59.

His championship semifinal was a 6-4 loss to Dominion’s Santiago Pena, a wrestler he had pinned in the regional tournament. The score was tied 4-4 and appeared headed for overtime. Pena then hit a duck under move for a takedown with eight seconds remaining.

“There wasn’t anything [Hall] could do,” Hawkins said of the few seconds left on the clock.

Royce Hall’s battle for the bronze against Nathan Mallery of Deep Creek was tied 2-2 following regulation and remained that way after the one-minute sudden-victory session to force a second tie-breaking procedure involving 30-second periods.

The wrestlers each had one period in the down position, with both scoring an escape for a 3-3 score. Mallery won the coin flip for the third 30-second period and went down.

He was able to escape 12 seconds in for a 4-3 victory.

Hall, the defending state champion at 195 pounds, also lost a last-second match in the 170-pound championship semifinals to drop into the consolation bracket. He was tied 2-2 versus Joey Burch from Western Albemarle late in the third period before Burch scored with only three seconds to go and win 4-2.

The Falcon carried that control into the final two minutes from the up position. Chumley received a warning for stalling with 1:38 to wrestle, and the official awarded a penalty point to Menifee following a second stalling call with 59 seconds remaining for the 4-0 final count.

“Kingsley is a very good wrestler,” Kettle Run coach Mike Foy said. “He’s the Beast of the East champion, and for Abram to wrestle him to 4-0, that’s not bad.

“He was always in the match.

That’s something to be proud of.”

“Kingsley was in control of all of his matches from start to finish,” Hoffman said, pointing out the Falcon had the necessary mentality to go with his strength and technical skills. “He had the right mindset all weekend and got the burden off of his back by winning a state title.

“The biggest thing we kept reminding him this weekend was to eliminate the ‘what If’s’ and ‘what if I don’t’ thought process. He did just that and it reflected by the way he wrestled.”

Chumley won three matches to move into the finals. He met Jefferson Forest’s Ethan Boone in the first round, scoring a fall in 3:15. The quarterfinal resulted in a 6-1 decision versus Owen Schuller (Great Bridge) before the Cougar overcame a bout with his nerves and edged Andrew Gingras (Loudoun Valley), 4-2, to set up the latest rematch.

“He’s had a great season,” Foy praised, noting four of Chunley’s five losses have come against Menifee. “I’m very proud of the kid.”

It’s go time: Falcons, Eagles, Cougars ready for state track meet

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

A season after winning last year’s Class 4 indoor track state title, there’s a different focus for the Fauquier Falcon girls squad as the 2022 meet approaches next week.

Several star contributors are no longer around, but FHS coach Quentin Jones still has high standards and plenty of talent, as do Kettle Run and Liberty.

The state meet is next Monday and Tuesday at Liberty University.

The top eight place winners will score and the top six will medal.

“I don’t think we are setting the world on fire, but I want to go in and prove the standings wrong,” Jones said, referring to ranking sheets that seem to put the Falcons in the middle of the pack. “If we can get kids to bump up and finish a couple of places higher than they are positioned, it will be a good [meet].

“If we could finish in the top five, that would be big. We’re going into a tough state meet. I really want to see our kids be competitive...hoping we show up and do the best we can do.”

An unofficial scan of the four regional championship meets showed several county athletes are expected to medal and score.

Leading that list is Kettle Run’s Collen Schaner, the No. 2 seed for the girls pole vault. She has cleared 11 feet, six inches, behind only a vaulter from Jefferson Forest who has gone 12 feet. Cougar teammate Ashley Nickerwon is tied for the fourth slot at 10-6.

Fauquier’s Aubrey Fernandez, the defending state champion, is third in the 500-meter dash at 1:19.72. Cassidy Scott is in the top six in the 1,000 and 1,600. She was the 2021 1,600 silver medalist. The girls 1600 and 3200 relays both are in the top five.

No county boys are seeded in the top six.

Three days later, region track meet ends

It took three extra days, but the boys part of the Region 4C indoor track championships ended last Thursday outdoors at Loudoun Valley High in Purcellville.

Due to a snafu with the 3,200-meter relay at Shenandoah University, the race was re-run with Liberty winning behind the efforts of Gabe Sealock, Aidan Neidich, Peter Rummel and Cole Hoffman in 8:23.94 over Millbrook.

Fauquier placed fourth to add five points to its total and become the official team runner-up in the overall championship.

The Falcons finished with 73 points, widening its margin from one to six points over third-place Handley. The final team standings showed Loudoun County’s boys with 91 points ahead of Fauquier (73), Handley (67) and Loudoun Valley (66).

Liberty coach Helene Leigh was worried that wind might be a factor in the outdoor run, but said the weather “was ideal” by race time as her boys prevailed impressively “The last lap of the race was very similar to the majority of the race on Monday,” Leigh recalled. “With the top five teams in a pretty tight pack until Cole pulled away in the last 100 meters.”

The snafu at Shenandoah was that officials placed the anchor legs on the track one lap too early, meaning each school’s third runner ran only 600 meters instead of 800.

Millbrook won, but multiple schools filed official protests, which were upheld, and a decision was made to rerun the race. The redo could not take place the same day because of individual participation limitations.

OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | February 23, 2022

OBITUARIES Doris McLean Coffey Doris McLean Coffey, 85, passed away on January 11, 2022.

Doris was preceded in death by her son Gregory and husband of 63 years, Mitch T. Coffey, the loss of whom arguably cost her whole heart; daughter, Darlene (John); grandchildren, James (Angela) and Tiffany; and great-granddaughter, Virginia Louise.

Doris married her childhood sweetheart and they had two children, Darlene Michele and Gregory Scott. Doris was a homemaker and doting mother, raising her children as the family moved from North Carolina to Virginia where they eventually settled in Warrenton in the late 1960’s. When the children were grown, Doris took a job working in the lunchroom of the local elementary school.

After retirement, Doris enjoyed “loafing” about the country with Mitch in their RV, purchased for touring her mother and mother-in-law around this great country. Family was the most important thing in Doris’ life. She most enjoyed spending time with family and friends at Lake Anna during the summers, and on trips to Canada in the summers and winter. She was famous for her fried chicken, country fired steak, cherry yum yum, and especially her “Doris McMuffins” that she made for breakfast when the grandchildren visited.

A service was 12:00PM on February 19, 2022, at Bethel United Methodist Church at 6903 Blantyre Road in Warrenton, immediately followed by an interment service at Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Blue Ridge Hospice, the Fauquier Food Bank, or the Fauquier SPCA.

Roger (Tony) Anthony Gooden Roger (Tony) Anthony Gooden locked up his toolchest collection for the last time on February 17, 2022.

God broke the mold when he was born to Roger W. and Joann Z. Gooden on February 5, 1958.

Due to being unable to find the toolchest keys, compensation payment from selling off the tools for the many tortures and pranks his younger siblings Terry, Tammy, Todd, and Tracy had to endure from their big brother during childhood won’t be paid out. Even though he had access to the proper tools, a sibling was sometimes used to measure the depth of a hole or test out a new paint color. Once his siblings were older, he got himself stationed in Korea by joining the Army out of high school.

Missing home he moved on to the National Guard.

Being good with his hands, he decided to build houses for a time after his military service. Eventually wanting a home of his own, he picked up at a gas station his (to be) wife, Elizabeth (Libby). Their daughter, Laura, is glad her mom decided to keep this grease monkey. Life was never dull as he kept his daughter entertained with the many outings of fishing, target shooting, ATV riding, road trips, and woodworking projects. Working at VDOT gave him another group of people to prank. But when it came to computers, computers won! Getting people to laugh and caring for stray animals were his hobbies. The family dog who highjacked his truck one wintry night was also the only family member as excited as him to walk into a Harbor Freight.

Almost became his mailing address—so the family is now left with a tool collection that almost reflects their inventory.

This gentle giant who loved German chocolate cake and will always be remembered as humble and kind has left his repertoire of jokes and many happy memories with his wife of 40 years, Elizabeth (Libby) Gooden; daughter Laura Gooden; siblings: Terry Gooden (Laura), Tammy Metcalf (Jed), Todd Gooden (Missy), and Tracy Miller; a total of twelve nieces and nephews; and the family dog, Bear.

The family will receive friends Thursday February 24, 2022 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. A funeral service will be held Friday February 25, 2022 in the funeral home chapel starting at 11:00 a.m. followed by burial in Culpeper National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that expressions of sympathy take the form of donations in Roger’s name to American Stroke Association: www.stroke.org or to the Wounded Warrior Project: www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Funeral - April 23, 2022. (Time to be announced at a later date).

Ethel M. Jones Ethel M. Jones 92, of Bealeton, VA passed away on Friday, February 18, 2022, at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton, VA. She is survived by her son, Harold D. Repass (Laura); daughters Dorothy Sanborn and Ann Orndorff; stepson Lewis Jones (Lana); stepdaughter Gloria Jones; and sister Ellen Sue Harner of Bland, VA. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and 9 greatgreat-grandchildren. Also surviving are numerous nieces and nephews.

Ethel Jo was born to Arthur and Maggie Stanley Melvin in November of 1929, in Mechanicsburg, VA, one of 13 children.

She was predeceased by her first husband, James H. Repass; second husband, Floyd Jones; son Edward Repass; and brothers Frank, Ernest, Ed, John, and Roy. She was also preceded in death by sisters Burnette, Pet, Georgia, Nellie, Sallie, and Jean.

Mom went to work in the sixties for the Defense Intelligence Agency. She held positions with them and the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center. She was recognized for her accomplishments and retired in 1987, very proud of what a country girl with an eighth-grade education could accomplish.

Mom loved to garden, loved to cook, loved family gatherings— and above all, she loved to shop. Mom was blessed to stay in her home, continued living alone, enjoyed her independence, and was surrounded by friends and family until a broken bone in her leg slowed her down.

Matthew 25:23—“His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord”.

The family will receive friends on Friday, February 25 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA from 9:00-10:00 AM.

Places of Worship PALLIATIVE CARE Palliative care is a specific care-giving approach to provide relief, ease suffering, and improve a patient’s overall quality of life. It is based on the patient’s needs, not on their medical prognosis.

Palliative care is suitable for any age and various conditions such as heart failure, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Care teams are qualified to treat many symptoms such as depression, pain, anxiety, sleeping difficulties, and nausea. They serve as the perfect go-between between the patient and doctors and can effectively make sure the doctors know what the patient needs and wants so that everyone is on the same page. This can also give the patient more control over their care. Private health insurance may pay for some services.

Knowing that a loved one’s time is limited doesn’t necessarily make their passing any easier when it does happen.

Somehow, we can never really be ready to say goodbye, and no matter how much we may realize in our minds that our loved one is no longer suffering or leading a life without enjoyment, our loss is a difficult and complicated situation to bear. But for many families, the chance to anticipate a death, and plan in advance—even if it is just a few days, can be a blessing. For more information, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Our funeral home is located 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.
