Crash victim claims ‘Victory’ over head injury thanks to new advanced EMS interventions By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Rob Moore shouldn’t be alive. On the night of April 22, 2021, Moore’s 2004 Nissan Maxima careened off Piney Mountain Road near Orlean. Then 23 years old, the young airplane mechanic had bought the car just two weeks earlier, paying $600 and naming it “Doom Ship,” an inside joke among his friends. That night, he had dinner with his parents and then drove to Warrenton to see some friends. He was driving back to his home near Hume when he crashed. A passerby later saw signs of a crash and called 911. It’s hard to determine exactly how much time had elapsed since the crash, but it could have been nearly an hour based on reported power outages due to the power line that came down as the result of the crash. Fauquier County EMS Capt. Matt Shields and EMT Jennifer Morris were at the paramedic sta-

Fauquier County supervisors approved an agreement March 10 to purchase the Virginia National Bank complex at Courthouse Square in Old Town Warrenton for $6.4 million. The complex includes two brick buildings that have been the flagship structures of the bank — until last year called The Fauquier Bank — for decades. The bank was founded in 1902 in Warrenton. The agreement allows up to 60 days before the parties must finalize the sale, including a 45-day “study period” for the county to inspect the structures. Bank officials have indicated that they will lease from the county the 1972 retail banking building for one year after the sale is finalized, County Administrator Paul McCulla said last week. The bank is expected to lease the 1987 wealth management building, which faces Waterloo Street, for eight months after settlement. See BANK, page 2

They all arrived at the scene about the same time, a few minutes after midnight. Capt. Gordon Mackison and Battalion Chief Fred McEvilly arrived from Orlean soon afterward. See EMS, page 4

Windshield stickers will make trash/recycling drop-off quicker, easier By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Instead of having to show proof of residency when driving up to Fauquier County’s recycling and waste collection sites, residents can now obtain collection site permits for their windshields at no cost; collection site employees will simply note the presence of a sticker when a resident visits the site. The enrollment of free residential collection site permit stickers will begin Friday, April 1. Any fees that residents normally pay at collection sites will still apply. The stickers are free to county residents who wish to utilize the residential collection sites or the Corral Farm facility to personally dispose of their household recycling and trash. To use any of the collection sites, residents must either obtain a residential collection site permit sticker, present valid Fauquier County identification or present a valid special exception permit. To obtain a sticker: • Download an application for a residential collection site permit sticker at https://www.fauquiercounty.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/35294/637819963741930000 or pick one up at the county’s Department of Environmen-

tal Services office at Corral Farm (6438 College St., Warrenton). One application must be filled out for each car requiring a permit (up to three). Site attendants will also have paper copies of the application to hand out at all sites while quantities last. • Fill out the application and present it with personal-use vehicle registration and valid identification. • Put the sticker on the inside driver’s side of the front windshield of the car. The permits must be permanently affixed to the right of the official state inspection sticker when viewed

through the inside of windshield. The edge of the site permit shall not be more than ¼ inch from the edge of the official inspection sticker. • Residents may visit the Environmental Services Department at these times to get a sticker: ◦ Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ◦ Saturdays, April 2 or April 16, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. A maximum of three permanent residential permits will be issued per household. Residential permit stickers will not be issued to farm use vehicles, business vehicles, vehicles with any business markings or out of county vehicles. Stickers may not be transferred from one vehicle to another. During the roll out period, there will be additional days and hours offered to obtain permits. Updates will be posted on the Department of Environmental Services website or on Facebook at Fauquier Recycles. After the roll out is complete, residents who would like permit stickers will need to visit the county’s Department of Environmental Services office at Corral Farm (6438 College St., Warrenton) during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. An FAQ page has been set up to answer residents’ questions.

County to purchase Virginia National Bank complex in Old Town Warrenton BANK, from page 1 A company representative said Tuesday that the bank “will continue operations out of Old Town Warrenton for the foreseeable future.” The complex has been for sale since last year — the original asking price was $7.5 million — and the bank operates another retail branch in Warrenton, on the corner of West Lee Highway and Fletcher Drive. After The Fauquier Bank merged with Virginia National Bank last year, the company moved its headquarters to Charlottesville. The two buildings total about 39,000 square feet, including nearly 25,000 square feet of office space. That could help solve, at least in the short term, the fact that the county has long-since outgrown its aging courthouses. The “new” 1973 courthouse at 29 Ashby Street/40 Culpeper Street, for instance, is more than 53,000 square feet, but the building is largely taken up by several county agencies in addition to the building’s primary function as the home of

Fauquier County Circuit Court. McCulla said that some of those agencies, including the offices of the revenue commissioner and the treasurer, will likely be moved over the next few years to Courthouse Square, allowing some or all functions of the general district court and the juvenile and domestic relations court to be moved to the “new” courthouse. Fauquier County General District Court, by far the busiest of the county’s three courts, is currently housed in the 129-year-old courthouse building in Courthouse Square; including the space used by the clerk’s office; that building is only 5,600 square feet. Next door, the 96-year-old John Marshall Building houses Fauquier County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. A 2020 report commissioned by county supervisors recommended building a new, 101,000-square-foot building on West Lee Street between the current sheriff’s office and the county jail to meet the demand for court services. All three courts

would be consolidated into this one building, which would feature a single, secure entrance and a protected parking area for judges, law enforcement and prisoner transfers. The plan also includes an additional 180 new parking spaces. But building that new structure would cost taxpayers $55.4 million, according to the 2020 report. While it is included in the county’s five-year capital spending plan, issuing that amount of debt to fund the project would require holding a referendum. Supervisors briefly discussed the timing of the referendum at a budget work session March 10 but did not come to an agreement on when the referendum should occur. Another benefit of the additional office space may be the transformation of the four-story, 39,000-squarefoot Alice Jane Childs Building on Hospital Hill into a consolidated space for the county’s public safety agencies, McCulla said. County agencies as varied as the parks and recreation department, the school board and finance department are

currently housed there. Moving those departments to other county buildings could help give the sheriff’s office — currently housed in an 11,300-square-foot building on West Lee Street — and the fire and rescue department a permanent space better suited to their current needs. Finally, the Courthouse Square complex includes a large parking lot, McCulla pointed out, meaning that the limited parking currently available for the Warrenton Library – which is across the street -- will be greatly expanded. McCulla said that he and other county staffers will work with supervisors over the next months and years to determine the details of any departmental reshuffling made possible by the purchase of the Courthouse Square complex. Funding for the purchase will come from the county’s capital reserve fund. Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@ fauquier.com

Crash victim claims ‘Victory’ over head injury thanks to new advanced EMS interventions EMS, from page 1 The first responders rushed to locate the car and any potential victims of the crash and saw a downed telephone pole about 100 yards from the road. Their vehicles’ powerful headlights couldn’t illuminate enough of the field to find the vehicle in the darkness, so they got out flashlights and set off through the cow field, expecting to find the worst. “This is not going to be good,” Dunn remembered thinking. They found Moore lying in the field about 50 feet away from the wrecked vehicle. Moore hadn’t been wearing a seatbelt, and the violent crash had thrown his body from the car into the field, possibly through the closed sunroof — the car was damaged so severely that it is difficult to reconstruct the incident more precisely. Though unresponsive, Moore was — somehow — still alive. “He’s bad. We need to go,” Dunn recalled thinking. Shields assessed Moore and found his condition rated the lowest-possible score on the Glasgow Coma Scale. It’s a score “associated with an extremely high mortality rate, with some researchers suggesting that there is no chance of survival,” according to a 2004 medical paper. Moore had sustained severe head trauma, causing bleeding around the brain. Seconds count as the pressure around the brain threatens to stop the patient’s breathing at any moment. In these circumstances, permanent brain damage becomes one of the better-case scenarios. Moore was already struggling to breathe. The paramedics enlisted the help of a sheriff’s patrol deputy, Cpl. Wesley Frost, to carry Moore back to the road on a stretcher. At 12:12 a.m., Hul-

By the numbers

The following “critical care interventions” were completed last year, according to the Fauquier County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management: • 43 uses of a ventilator • 17 uses of a BPAP ventilator machine • 40 uses of rapid sequence intubation • 7 uses of hypertonic saline • 8 uses of whole blood • 53 uses of ultrasounds vey fitted Moore with a bag valve mask to help him breathe. Morris started an IV line. Shields then administered paralytic drugs through the IV to make it safe to intubate him. By 12:16 p.m., Moore was on a ventilator, ensuring his brain would continue to receive oxygen. A minute later, Shields gave Moore a unit of O-positive blood to keep him from going into shock. Meanwhile, Morris drilled a small hole into the bone just below Moore’s knee. At 12:25 a.m., Shields administered a solution called hypertonic saline — a syrupy saline solution with an extremely high salt content, through the bone. A minute later, Shields administered fentanyl. Moore’s condition, though still critical, seemed to improve. An ultrasound of his vital organs revealed no internal bleeding. By 12:50 a.m., Moore was on an Air Care medical transport helicopter en route to the trauma center at Inova Fairfax. Normally, that would have been the last time the paramedics saw their patient. But last week, nearly a year after the incident, Shields, Dunn and others from Orlean and county paramedic community got to see Moore again. For

Moore, unconscious in the aftermath of the crash, it was his first time meeting the people who saved his life. His parents were there too, overwhelmed with the emotion of meeting the people who had ensured that their son would reach his 24th birthday. His recovery, as Shields put it, is “unbelievable.” Anyone who didn’t know what Moore had been through wouldn’t suspect the extent of his injuries. Besides occasional neck pain, he suffers no lingering effects from the crash. The paramedics were overjoyed. They had tried to schedule a meeting with the Moore family earlier, but the family had planned a vacation. “It really made my day to hear you were at the beach,” Shields smiled. After intensive rehabilitation and physical therapy, Moore returned to work less than three months after the incident — his mischievous, sometimes dark sense of humor fully intact. He grinned as he recalled what his coworkers said when he returned to work: “Look, there’s the guy who isn’t supposed to be here.” Shields couldn’t stop smiling. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and I’ve never seen a full recovery on a head injury,” he said. Moore still hasn’t wrapped his mind around the fact that he survived at all. “It makes no sense … the fact that I made it out without any severe damage,” he told the paramedics last week. “It’s just stupid. It makes no sense.”

‘It’s the best training I’ve ever had’

The actions that led to such a positive outcome for Moore were no accident, however. And had the young man been thrown into that field a year earlier, the end of the story could have been far more tragic. See EMS, page 5

Crash victim claims ‘Victory’ over head injury thanks to new advanced EMS interventions EMS, from page 4 In June 2020, the Fauquier County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management began introducing a series of treatment protocols usually reserved for hospital trauma centers. The new treatments are especially pertinent in a rural area like Fauquier, where the nearest trauma centers are at least a 20-minute helicopter ride away in Fairfax and Winchester. The idea is that “advanced interventions” usually reserved for emergency departments can save lives when delivered earlier, said Battalion Chief Rich Cluff, who oversees paramedics in the county. The program required additional training for paramedics and the creation of new “standing order protocols” — essentially, a technical flow chart directing treatments — by a physician. Cluff said that Fauquier County is the first jurisdiction in the area, that he knows of, to implement many of the protocols, though the initial success of the program in Fauquier has generated interest from nearby departments. In fact, some of the protocols are so new to field applications in the United States that much of the peer-reviewed research comes from Australia, where vast distances and sparse populations can mean paramedics — not hospital trauma centers — may be the only ones available to administer advanced treatments in the first critical hours after an injury. (Australia has roughly the same land area as the contiguous United States, but less than one tenth of the population.) “This is our attempt to stay ahead of the curve and provide cutting edge care to our citizens and visitors,” Cluff said. “We just wanted to bring that critical-care paramedicine on the road with us.” Dr. Michael Jenks, director of the emergency department of Fauquier Hospital, stepped in to write the protocols. Shields is one of three specially trained EMS captains — captains Rob Smith and Jess Potter are the others — in the county who must be present to initiate the new protocols. Cluff is also qualified, but his role

is mainly administrative. They meet with Dr. Jenks every quarter to review cases and discuss procedures. Cluff and the three EMS captains assigned to the field — Shields, Rob Smith and Jess Porter — say that the program has made them feel that, in cases like Moore, they are equipped to be more proactive in acute cases where a patient’s survival is contingent on immediate treatment. “This is the first time, at least in my career, that the thing we didn’t have any control over — the head injury — we have control over now,” said Shields, who has been with Fauquier County since 2013. “It’s the best training I’ve ever had. We don’t often get to sit down and pick the brain of a physician.” Supervisor Chris Granger (Center District), a career firefighter in Prince William County, said that — from the board’s perspective — the program comes down to providing the best-possible level of services to residents of the county. “Practically everything that’s in the national scope of practice for a medic, these folks can do,” he said. “Providing that advanced level of EMS training — it’s something we’re really lucky to be able to do. … The high level of care they can provide is invaluable.”

‘Like clockwork’

Moore’s case is close to a perfect example of several of the new training protocols in action. “This patient is exactly what this program was made for,” Fauquier County Fire Chief Darren Stevens said last week. After Moore was carried back to the road, Shields began “rapid sequence intubation,” a process that hooks up a patient to a machine that regulates their breathing. It requires the administration of a powerful anesthetic and a paralytic, inducing a coma. This keeps the patient safe during the invasive intubation process but performing the intricate series of protocols requires a high level of training. Consequently, two people trained in the procedure — in this case, Shields and Dunn — must be present to perform it. See EMS, page 6

Crash victim claims ‘Victory’ over head injury thanks to new advanced EMS interventions EMS, from page 5 Once intubated, “that’s when we really went to work on your head injury,” Shields told Moore. The hypertonic saline — true to the medical professions’ sense of humor, paramedics call it “spicy water” — Shields administered to Moore is meant to draw water in the bloodstream away from the brain, reducing the chance of catastrophic herniation around the brain, which can quickly cause breathing to stop. “We watched your vital signs go pretty much back to normal,” Shields recalled to Moore about his response to the hypertonic saline. “It was really like your body took a breath of fresh air,” Dunn added. It’s one of the new protocols that makes Fauquier’s paramedics most excited, as it gives them a way to provide immediate, effective treatment in a situation — those involving head trauma — where first responders often feel helpless. “You can see right before your eyes … you see the vital signs normalize,” Cluff said. Before 2020, the 23.4% salt solution — nearly four times the concentration of seawater — wouldn’t have been administered until Moore arrived in Fairfax. But because of the new protocols, Moore received it within 15 minutes of paramedics arriving on the scene. Shields also gave Moore a unit of

That’s also new, thanks to the purchase of specialized portable refrigerators and Fauquier County’s partnership with Inova Blood Donor Services. Before 2020, Fauquier County didn’t carry even blood components, like plasma, with them in the field. Federal funds from the CARES Act paid for the purchase of the high-tech mobile refrigerators necessary to keep the blood at the right temperature. Field transfusions of whole blood are a relatively recent idea in general, pioneered by militaries in the past two decades to use in combat applications. “Now, all of the research is saying that whole blood is the best,” Cluff explained. They carry O-positive blood because people with any blood type can usually accept it. Moore was fortunate not to have any internal bleeding. But if he

had, the hospital would have known about it in advance, as the portable ultrasound machines Fauquier paramedics now carry enable them to check for internal injuries and send the images to the hospital directly from a phone. The treatments administered at the scene were laid out later in a detailed, four-page incident report. But Shields and Dunn remembered that they talked little during those crucial minutes on the side of Piney Mountain Road. Each first responder knew their precise role. “It was just like, ‘Bang, bang, bang, bang,’” Dunn recalled. “It was like clockwork. It came down to the experience of the people on the call.” For Moore and his parents, time moved much more slowly in the next hours and weeks. When Karen and Brian Moore arrived in Fairfax that night, they weren’t even sure their son was still alive. He remained intubated for four days, responding to simple commands by moving his fingers or toes, but it was unclear then whether he would have permanent brain damage. Adding to his family’s collective trauma, he tested positive for COVID-19 — fortunately, he was an asymptomatic case — meaning his parents couldn’t join him in the hospital. His mother got the shift schedule for his nurses and called at the start of every shift for an update on

his condition, reaching out to family members with medical backgrounds to better understand the treatments. When the tube was removed, the nurses set up a video call from the ICU. “We told him that we loved him, and he said, ‘I love you too,’” Karen Moore remembered, still overcome with emotion nearly a year afterward. He was released from in-patient rehab by May 19, 2021. “We were headed home and I had the radio on, and he was singing the words to every song,” she smiled. Indicators like this gave Karen and Brian Moore reason to let themselves hope for the best. After six weeks of physical therapy, Rob Moore returned to work, practically back to his old self. “He gets tired of hearing it, but he is our miracle,” she said. Air Care assigns patients a code name when they transport them. In Moore’s case, it was a series of letters and numbers followed by “Victory.” The sedan he was driving was obviously totaled, and Moore drives a pickup truck now. He named it “Tory,” a reference to that code name. The paramedics and his parents agreed that it’s a much better name than “Doom Ship.” And now, Moore said, he always wears his seatbelt.

Local TEDx event planned for September Organizers looking for speakers, volunteers By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

TEDxWarrenton will debut in the community on Sept. 24. The independently organized event, licensed by TED, will feature speakers and performers focused on the theme “Believe In.” TEDxWarrenton is currently seeking speakers, volunteers and partners to help plan a successful event. TEDxWarrenton co-founder Tara Helkowski, public information officer for the Fauquier County Public Schools, explained, “When I worked for Loudoun County Public Schools, I was one of the organizers for TEDxAshburn (Sept. 27, 2014).” She said that she and Louis MacDonald, director of technology at FCPS, “have always been interested in the concept and are huge fans of TED talks. As we’ve watched other communities host these events, we asked ourselves, ‘Why not here in Fauquier?’” Helkowski and MacDonald started to talk about the idea six months ago, and she said, “We started applying for our TEDx license three months ago.” The plan is to host an annual live event at a local venue. According to TEDx rules, the event will be limited to 100 attendees, but the event will also be recorded and available for viewing worldwide. Helkowski said, “We’re all coming out of some really challenging times, and we figured this platform could help us to come together as a community.” “The goal of TEDxWarrenton is to provide a space where people can gather over shared ideas and move forward making a positive impact in the world,” McDonald added.

Seeking speakers

TEDxWarrenton will feature shared ideas and presentations from citizens of Fauquier County and beyond. Helkowski said, “We believe everyone has something valuable to say that the world needs to hear. Whether based on your work, experience or observations, we want to take this opportunity to work with you to pinpoint and shape it into an idea worth spreading on the TEDx stage.” She said that the group is looking for speakers from the local community, Northern Virginia and the DMV. “We have already received 12 speaker applications — some local, and one as far away as California,” she said. The speaker application window is open through April 30.

Volunteers welcome

TEDxWarrenton is also seeking volunteers to help with a variety of jobs: speaker curation, logistics, event production, communication marketing, partnership finance and general volunteer. The volunteer page for the event may be found at tedxwarrenton.com.

Warrenton Town Council has committed to using $6.5 million in federal COVID-19 stimulus funds to pay for improvements to the Warrenton dam and local parks and considered the possibility of using the remaining funds for employee pay raises or new hiring. The town council met last Tuesday, March 8 for a work session to discuss the allocation of $10.4 million the town received from the American Rescue Plan Act – a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package approved by U.S. Congress in 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Rescue Plan Act included billions in aid for state and local governments. Local governments need to allocate the money by the end of 2024 and spend the funds by the end of 2026 or return it to the federal government. By far, the largest expenditure of ARPA funds in Warrenton, $4.5 million, will go toward improving the dam at the Warrenton Reservoir. The dam was recently reclassified by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation as a “high hazard” dam based on new state guidance. High hazard dams are those that would cause “probable loss of life or serious economic damage” if the dam were to fail. The high hazard designation was applied to the dam because U.S. 15, as well as several homes, are within the Warrenton Dam’s inundation zone — the area downstream that would be directly affected if the dam were to fail — according to a 2017 analysis. The Warrenton Reservoir and Airlie Reservoir are the main water supply sources for the Town of Warrenton. Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer said there are no immediate concerns about the dam failing. But she

The Warrenton Dam is rated a “high hazard” dam by state officials because it would likely flood major nearby roadways and several homes if it was breached.

Warrenton commits to using ARPA funds

Warrenton Town Council was awarded $10.4 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds in 2021 under the American Rescue Plan Act. Of those funds, the town council has committed to spending: - $4.5 million to improve the Warrenton Dam - $2 million for local park improvements At a later date, council will discuss spending an additional $2.7 million for employee pay raises, bonuses or new employee hires. said improvements are needed to bring the dam up to state standards. “The town is taking measures to ensure the dam remains safe while also directly addressing regulation changes,” Schaeffer said. “While there are no structural concerns at this time, staff does anticipate a likely need to make improvements to the design.”

Climate change concerns

Improvements are also needed for the dam’s “emergency spillway to accommodate climate change,” according to town budget documents. Schaeffer said those climate change impacts are related to more frequent heavy rainfall events outlined in new state dam guidance. Warmer global temperatures, primarily caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, are leading to more frequent large storm events that cause heavier rainfalls and may lead to more frequent flooding, according to

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Plans for the remaining funding

In addition to the dam improvements, the town council committed to using $2 million in federal funds to improve local parks. The specific park improvements were not outlined at the work session. But Warrenton Finance Director Stephanie Miller said they would include, “[American Disabilities Act] compliance, general improvements and the possible acquisition of land for additional park usage.” The town council has not yet agreed on how they will spend the remaining ARPA funds. Miller and Schaeffer presented the council last Tuesday with a plan to spend up to $2.7 million on employee pay raises, one-time bonuses or adding up to nine new full-time positions to the town government. Schaeffer told Fauquier Times that

Councilman Sean Polster had requested that staff provide options for possible pay raises at a previous meeting. The options Schaeffer presented included one-time pay raises ranging from 3% to 5%, bonuses ($1,500 to $2,500) and a combination of 3% pay raises and bonuses. Schaeffer also proposed a plan to use ARPA funds to hire up to nine new employees – including two police officers, an American Disabilities Act coordinator, a communications officer, a director of utilities and an engineer. Because the town must spend its ARPA funds by 2026, any new employees hired or pay raises given would be paid for with federal funds only until that time. Those expenses would become the town’s responsibility after 2026. Councilman Renard Carlos said he was concerned about the fiscal impact that pay raises or new staff hires would have on the town budget after 2026, saying that it might require an increase in the tax rate. There was little discussion about how the town council planned to spend the remaining ARPA funds, however. It left the work session without providing staff any direction on how to spend it but agreed to revisit the proposal for pay raises and new staff hires within 60 days.

Warrenton Town Council votes to expand weekend road closures in Old Town By Daniel Berti

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Members of the Warrenton Town Council voted unanimously March 8 to continue to allow “parklets” and weekend street closures in Old Town Warrenton for the third straight year – but this time around, the town will expand its hours and allow the Warrenton Farmers Market to operate on Main Street every Saturday morning and afternoon, too. The initiative, known as “Roll Out Warrenton,” began in 2020 and was continued in 2021 to help businesses in Old Town dampen the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The success of the businesses that we’ve seen

over the past two years attracting more people to Warrenton as a destination warrants the experiment to see if a weekend pedestrian mall is sustainable,” Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill said. “We want to see if this is something we can build on to attract new businesses.” Last year, Main Street was closed only on Friday and Saturday evenings. But starting April 22, Main Street will be continuously closed on weekends from Friday at 4:30 p.m. until Saturday at 10 p.m. between Court Street and 3rd Street. The Saturday morning Warrenton Farmers Market will move from the parking lot behind Town Hall onto Main Street. Additionally, Culpeper Street between Hotel

Street and Main Street will be closed, but twoway traffic will be allowed on Culpeper Street between Hotel Street and Lee Street. That section of the road is normally one way. John McAuliff, board chairman for Experience Old Town Warrenton, told the town council the organization supports the continuation of Main Street closures and urged the town council not to end the program. “I don’t need to tell you how much we all lost during the pandemic, but one thing we gained is that we do not need to waste resources and time encouraging people to come to Warrenton; they are already coming,” McAuliff said.

Supervisors signal support for safety improvements to five intersections By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The next round of applications to the state’s “Smart Scale” transportation fund is due in August, and county supervisors expressed last week that improvements to intersections on U.S. 17 and Va. 28, along with a rural back road, are their top priorities. After a March 10 work session to review the proposals, supervisors moved forward with a list of five projects for “pre-application screening review” by the state transportation department; those pre-applications are due by the end of the month. Submitting a pre-application does not bind the county to submitting the same proposal in August, county staffers emphasized. The county can submit a total of four “full applications” — along with two additional applications if they are approved by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission. Smart Scale is a state fund that pays for road improvements requested by local governments; the grants don’t require a local funding match. Applications, accepted every other year, are scored and ranked based on the projects’ potential to enhance safety and traffic flow, and the Commonwealth Transportation Board uses those data points to select projects for funding. The current round of Smart Scale applications will be reviewed in January 2023. The projects selected will begin receiving funding in 2028 or 2029.

U.S. 17 and Old Tavern Road

A traffic crash that severely injured two teenagers last September renewed calls to make safety improvements to the intersection of U.S. 17 and Old Tavern Road between Warrenton and Marshall. VDOT has since hired a consultant to study the issue and develop a list of recommended improvements. Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District) also formed a residents’ work group to review the recommendations. The interested parties are still working to agree on a final recommendation, Chief of Planning

Adam Shellenberger told supervisors Thursday, March 10. However, adding a roundabout could be an “obvious solution,” he said in his written report on the matter, adding that “it will be prudent to wait on the traffic engineering study to confirm this.”

Va. 28 corridor

Va. 28 (Catlett Road) has become a major commuting route as many people from the Bealeton area — and from areas farther west, like Culpeper — travel to Manassas and beyond for work. One potential improvement to the corridor would add a roundabout to the intersection of Va. 28 and Old Dumfries Road (Route 667) in Catlett. Shellenberger said Thursday, March 10 that the proposal may not score well in the Smart Scale application process and should be used as a backup in case supervisors decide not to go ahead with a Smart Scale application for the Old Tavern Road intersection this year. Another suggestion is to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Va. 28 and Bengü Gerek Avenue (on the north side) and Station Drive (on the south side) in Bealeton. The intersection is one of two ways to access Grace Miller Elementary School and Liberty High School, making it a major conduit for both commuter and school traffic. The intersection currently has a traffic light. Finally, supervisors decided to move forward with a concept that would eliminate direct left turns from U.S. 17 onto Va. 28 in Bealeton. Instead, drivers — driving either southbound or northbound — wishing to turn left could make a U-turn on U.S. 17 a short distance away from the intersection on either side.

Dumfries Road and Greenwich Road

The rural intersection of Dumfries Road (Route 605) and Greenwich Road (Route 603), about halfway between Catlett and Vint Hill, has been identified as a priority for safety improvements by the state transportation board. The pre-application will propose a roundabout for the intersection, which could reduce “the approaching and navigational speeds for the intersection,” according to the county’s staff report.

U.S. 15/29 near Warrenton

Two intersections on the U.S. 15/29 corridor just northeast of Warrenton were also on the list of potential pre-applications, but supervisors expressed concern that the changes would prove unpopular with residents and said that they would hold off on moving forward with those applications. Route 605, called Colonial Road on the northwest side of U.S. 15/29 and Dumfries Road on the southeast side, will see a 20% increase in delays over the next 20 years at the intersection if nothing is changed, according to a VDOT study. Including turn lanes, the intersection already features eight lanes on U.S. 15/29, five lanes on Dumfries Road and four lanes on Colonial Road, all of which converge on a stop light. VDOT conducted public outreach about potential improvements to the intersection and, as a result of that feedback, recommended that left turns from Dumfries Road and Colonial Road be eliminated and U-turns added a short distance away on U.S. 15/29 instead. Doing this would reduce delays by up to 35% and crashes by up to 30%, according to a VDOT analysis. But Supervisor Chris Granger (Center District), who represents the area, said Thursday, March 10 that none of the potential improvements put forward by VDOT are workable. “I’d like to have some further discussions before we go to Smart Scale,” he said, calling the proposed improvements a “half fix.” A few hundred yards away on U.S. 15/29, the VDOT report also recommended eliminating left turns from Nordix Drive, the entrance to the Warrenton Lakes subdivision, and Cedar Run Drive, which cuts between the Safford and Sheehy auto dealerships. Instead, drivers wishing to turn left would need to turn right onto the highway and make a U-turn. Granger and other supervisors expressed the same reservations about the idea. “I’d rather fix the problem, even if it’s only one intersection at a time,” said Granger.

Thumb Run bridge on Crest Hill Road closed for 8 months Construction of a new bridge across Thumb Run on Crest Hill Road began Monday, Feb. 21, closing that section of the road until November. The stretch of road averages about 800 vehicles per day, and most traffic will be routed around the closure on Hume Road (Route 635) and Leeds Manor Road (Route 688). The existing 88-year-old one-way bridge is “structurally deficient,” according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The agency first announced in August its intention to replace the bridge, which is roughly equidistant to Hume, Orlean and Ada. Fairfield-Echols LLC, of Fishersville, Virginia, will construct the replacement structure under a $2.8 million contract. Local traffic may use Dixons Mill Road (Route 732), a narrow gravel road, as a detour. That route, however, “should not be used by large vehicles or commercial traffic,” according to VDOT.

Wong Yong Jung, convicted of murdering Marshall monk, sentenced to 20 years By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Matthew Palmer

Warrenton man charged with abusing newborn A Warrenton man was arrested March 9 for allegedly beating an infant to the point of hospitalization. Matthew Palmer, 26, faces two felony child abuse charges and is being held at Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond, according to Fauquier County sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Steven Lewis. Authorities learned of the abuse when the victim, a ten-week-old baby, was brought to a local hospital for treatment of a skull fracture, Lewis said. Doctors found that the child was suffering from multiple fractures, bruises and other injuries, which they determined to be “non-accidental trauma,” Lewis continued. An investigation by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Social Services found Palmer to be responsible for the child’s injuries, Lewis said.

A Georgia man who stabbed a Buddhist monk to death in his Marshall home nearly 14 years ago will serve 20 years in prison for second-degree murder, a circuit judge ruled Monday. Wong Yong Jung, 63, was convicted in a jury trial last September of murdering Du Chil Park, a Zen Buddhist monk known by his ordained name Mogu, in the early morning hours of June 24, 2008. The two men had spent the previous night drinking heavily at the monk’s secluded residence that also served as a Buddhist temple, prosecutors said. And once the monk fell asleep, Jung stabbed him multiple times in the neck and back. A neighbor found Park’s decomposing body, wrapped in blankets, five days later. Jung, who left Virginia shortly after the murder, was a “person of interest” from the early stages of the investigation, investigators testified, and was at least twice questioned by federal agents about the murder, in 2008 and 2010. But it was only in December 2020 that he was arrested as a suspect and extradited to Virginia. By then, Jung had been living in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately nine years. Jung “was hiding from the truth, hoping this day would never come,” said Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jamey Cook at Monday’s sentencing hearing. “The defendant has shown no remorse.” Prosecutors have not said publicly why Jung was not charged with the murder until 2020. During the trial, prosecutors cast Jung as an alcoholic with a gambling problem who had reason to resent Park’s standing in the community. The two men, both born in Korea, had at one point been business partners in Park’s temple in Marshall and had an “up and down relationship” for several years. Prosecutors especially

emphasized a dispute between the two men in 2007 that testimony from witnesses said had each man accusing the other of not respecting Buddhist traditions. On the night of the murder, prosecutors said, Jung had driven to Park’s house to ask the monk for money to pay off a gambling debt. He had brought with him a significant amount of alcohol, thinking that getting Park drunk would “soften him up.” And while Park said he didn’t have any money to give Jung, he apparently agreed to accompany him to Georgia, where Jung planned to ask family members for money to pay off the debt, according to testimony from Federal Bureau of Intelligence agents who questioned Jung in 2010. Having a monk with him would give Jung credibility with his family, one of the agents testified. The two men then drank heavily late into the night. Jung, who allegedly told the federal agents that his nickname is “Coma” because he often blacks out when he gets drunk, said that he found the Park’s body in a pool of blood the next morning, the agents testified. He said repeatedly, however, that he didn’t remember stabbing the monk. Throughout the trial and sentencing hearing, Jung maintained his innocence. Addressing the courtroom Monday, Jung said that he “did not kill the monk” and that the evidence against him was only circumstantial. He also spoke at length about the misspelling of his name—original charging documents and court filings erroneously listed him as Won Yung Jung—which, he claimed, indicated that authorities had convicted the wrong man. Additionally, Jung accused FBI Special Agent Mitch Song, who had questioned him in 2010, of threatening him and lying. Jung intends to appeal his conviction and has been appointed a public defender to carry on his case. Reach Liam Bowman at lbowman@fauquier.com

Hope Theater opens updated version of ‘Godspell’ on March 25 After years of offering summer theater camps for teenagers, Vint Hill theater grows up By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

After the final notes of “Yes, it’s all for the Best,” the cast of “Godspell” collapses on the stage, exhausted after tap dancing their way through the vaudeville-style number and finishing with a Rockette-style flourish. When they hit the floor, breathing heavy, they aren’t acting. The number that proceeds “It’s all for the Best” -- “Bless the Lord my Soul” -- is equally energetic. At a recent rehearsal at Hope Theater at Vint Hill, the cast agreed that the 2011 Broadway revival of “God-

spell” is challenging, but worth the hundreds of hours of preparation. All 10 members of the cast are on stage throughout the two-hour show, which tells the story of Jesus Christ and his disciples in parables, primarily from the gospel of Matthew. The original 1971 version of the musical takes place in the streets of a city, but the Hope Theater version is set in a 2022-relateable coffee shop. Auditions were held in December and rehearsals started in January – four times a week for roughly three hours. Because there is so much singing and dancing, there was a lot of individual, at-home work too, said Kelly Snow, 32, who plays the role of Jesus.

It’s very relaxing … takes the pressure of life off.” Practicing her delicate art, Wysocki deftly pencils a design on the egg’s clean, white surface. Then she uses an instrument called a “kistka” to apply a thin line of beeswax. The kistka (some are electric) can be described as a stylist. It has a very small cartridge used to carefully fill with beeswax, which is then heated in a flame until it melts, allowing it to be painstakingly applied. The yolk is eventually sucked out, but that is done when the egg is completely dyed. Wysocki’s dyes and tools come from a Ukrainian supplier located in Minnesota.

Everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day Warrenton offers two options for the wearing of the green By H. Wheeler

Special to the Fauquier Times

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day, and everything is green except the lawn. Molly’s Irish Pub in Old Town Warrenton will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day for its 20th year running. Given the hardships so many businesses have faced in recent years, it’s tough to think of a better reason to raise a glass (or two) and offer a Slainte of support. Molly’s will open early to serveup traditional Irish breakfast from 10 a.m.; a special menu and themed cocktails have been promised throughout the day. Molly’s said its much-anticipated corned beef and cabbage will be center stage, and rightly so. The Main Street mainstay will present a characteristically relaxed approach to the holiday with good food, atmosphere and the no-nonsense cuisine of local legends. In their Saint Patrick’s Day debut, O’Brien’s on Broadview Avenue in Warrenton will be throwing an energetic family festival. O’Brien’s will host homegrown talent “The Buttertones” and musical conglomerate “The Irish Session.” A mob of musicians in a stone-floored pub is completely organic and thoroughly Celtic. On the frontlines of Irish culture, players like this are often found, instrumentally armed with the ability to relay centuries of history with or without words, but always in song. For anyone not

It goes without saying, authentic Irish food and banter on tap are a given. This three-day bonanza kicks off with “Eggs and Kegs” from 9 a.m. It’s clear from the thoughtful line-up of local vendors, artists and businesses that O’Brien’s is keen to follow in the footsteps of giants. As anyone who has been in their fair share of Irish pubs can attest, this attitude toward community is usually the difference between an Irish Pub and an Irish Theme Pub. The entertainment includes all the classics, even making room for “kids and pets” (the margin for error here is as wide as it is heartwarming and hilarious). O’Brien’s has proudly supported Irish dancing on many occasions as part of their commitment to elevating local arts. It has allowed

students to do what they love in an environment of genuine appreciation, providing a moment of joy and a reminder of how hard these past few years must have been for kids who are trying to follow their passions in a complicated world. The Boyle and Butke schools of Irish dance will attend at various times during the three-day St. Patrick’s Day event. Finally, visitors will be able to have their faces printed on a pint glass. The glamorous grannies and bonnie babies of Fauquier should be enough to lift spirits, and (local) distillery Murlarkey will be offering spirit samples, and you can lift theirs too. All the bases are covered, so whether diners want a knees-up or to wind-down, Warrenton will deliver this Saint Patrick’s Day.

Hope Theater opens updated version of ‘Godspell’ on March 25 GODSPELL, from page 12 of a two-year COVID project than a “Godspell” project, but said, “I got emotionally attached to the beard” and fortunately, Scott [Heine, director] felt it was OK for the role.” Snow, who has been involved with theater since middle school, but hadn’t been in a show since “Jesus Christ Superstar” in 2012, said that he was “overwhelmed with joy” when he was cast. But then had a second thought: “Oh my God, now I have to do this.” Talking after a mid-February rehearsal, Snow said the musical numbers were starting to feel good, but that they hadn’t run the show all the way through yet, and the set was just beginning to come together. Dancing is not his specialty, said Snow, and he had never tap danced before being cast as the most famous person in history, but by the time the show had entered its final month of rehearsals, the dancing was smooth and professional. “The songs and dance numbers in the show are all different styles and include a lot of complicated moves. Putting them all together has been exciting,” he said. Snow is an analyst for the federal government and is beginning his third year of working remotely from his home in Springfield. He is happy to have the comradery of his fellow actors. “This show is very collaborative. We are on stage all the time. There is no break. We have to rely on each other.” He added, “Right now, I don’t know what I’d do without this show.” Katy Benko Miner is the vocal director for “Godspell.” Her flawless voice also takes the lead in “Bless the Lord my Soul.” A professional singer with years of experience – from Nashville, Tennessee to Washington D.C. – she gives voice lessons at The Vocal Studio of Katy Benko in Broad Run. She has performed in several theater productions at Fauquier Community Theatre, including the same “Jesus Christ Superstar” where Snow performed, and “Always, Patsy Cline,” in which she played the lead. Miner, 39, is thrilled to be a part of “Godspell,” alongside “so much talent, working so hard.” Like everyone else in the cast, Miner has a lot to juggle. In addition to her business, she has four children, from 4 to 11 years old. Rachel Marineau is another member of the ensemble whose time is split between children and performing. She and her husband have three children who she cares for before putting on her well-worn tap shoes for evening rehearsals. “My husband is very supportive,” she said, with an appreciative smile. Marineau said she grew up loving musical theater. She was looking for a local outlet after moving to Warrenton 11 years ago; she is another veteran of FCT’s “Jesus Christ, Superstar,” playing Mary Magdalene in that production. By that mid-February rehearsal, Heine was pleased at how “Godspell”

Cast and crew of ‘Godspell’

Jesus: Kelly Snow John/Judas: Josh Carias Ensemble: Dawn Gaynor, Betsy Hansen, Marty Kelly, Rachel Marineau, Katy Benko Miner, Alan Pierce, Hilary Pierce, Rebecca White Director: Scott Heine Choral director: Margo Heine Vocal director: Katy Benko Miner Choreographer: Josie Corrado Producers: Scott and Hilary Pierce Band director: Drew Fleming Drums: Chris Calavas Guitar: Joseph Evans Piano: Lori Roddy Bass: Aaron Talley Sound engineers: Frankie Stamps and Tony Amico Lighting design: Dan Martin Set design and construction: Peter Marsh was progressing. “We are right on schedule,” he said. Heine has directed a lot of shows and he said, “the cast and crew are the cream of the crop. The actors, the five-piece band (on stage for the whole show), the light and sound guys. All the pieces are coming together with a lot of experience.” He said that his strategy was to build the music and dance skills first. He grinned, remembering, “There was that delightful moment when I realized they had learned all of it.” Heine said that “Godspell” was the first show Hope Theater put on with students in 2007. High school and college students put on a full Broadway musical in just five days as part of the Hope Theater summer camps. Heine wanted to do “Godspell” with adults, “but then COVID didn’t let that happen.” Heine pointed out that the revival version of the show has a lot of new music and was all orchestrated from scratch. One number, the “Tower of Babble,” is meant to be performed in nine-part harmony, acapella. “That’s hard,” he said. “A lot of folks cheat to make it easier, but we decided to do it the hard way.” “Godspell” is a special show, he said, pointing out that the musical has ten leads; everyone has a solo where they can shine. “I’ve been involved in a lot of really good productions, but every so often a show has the ability to bring the audience in, so the audience experiences it as their own story. This is magic.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fauquier County needs its own circuit court judge There is a saying that goes something like this: “Justice delayed is Justice denied.” It is my belief that is happening now in Fauquier County Circuit Court system. For over 40 years, the citizens of Fauquier County had a sitting judge. After Judge Jeffrey Parker retired, we never got another judge. Why is that? Loudoun County has five judges, Rappahannock has no judges, and Fauquier has no judges. Our population has increased, and I have been told that we qualify for a judge; so what is the problem? Could it perhaps be politics in legislature in Richmond? Our citizens and our circuit court need and deserve a sitting judge. Delaying a decision is not the answer. ANNE C. HALL Warrenton

Rep. Bob Good’s public relations materials are inconsistent with his legislative agenda On Feb. 2, I called the office of U.S. Rep. Bob Good (R-5th) to request answers to questions I had regarding his pamphlet titled “Working to Keep America Free.” One question I asked his staff member was why he would sponsor a bill to deregulate silencers on guns when the International Association of Chiefs of Police want silencers regulated in order to better protect citizens. I also asked why Congressman Good is “opposed to enforcing red flag laws on members of our military” when the suicide rate for current military and veterans far exceeds the national average for non-military. I called Feb. 7, 14, and 22. No answers. After receiving the congressman’s “Working to Preserve America’s Fiscal Future” pamphlet, I added another question to my list. Why did he lie by saying the Build Back Better bill would “grant amnesty for tens of millions of illegal immigrants” when the provision for immigration

within that bill never mentions amnesty? On March 3, I received a form letter from Congressman Good’s office stating that he was working to improve postal service to Albemarle County. Then on March 8, the Congressional Record indicated that Congressman Good voted “nay” to the Postal Service Reform Act to fund improvements. I asked if someone could explain to me why he would say one thing and do another. On March 8, I called again and was told by a staffer he had no idea how long it would take to get answers to my questions. I was raised and taught to believe that elected officials should be responsive to their constituents. Congressman Good is a former wrestling coach, so I know he will understand when I say that his lack of responsiveness feels like stalling or fleeing the mat. DENISE WILCOX Keswick, Virginia

Response to Del. Webert’s ‘big fib’ about election integrity in Virginia A Feb. 28 taxpayer-funded letter from Del. Michael Webert (R-18th) to his constituents leads with an unfortunate Big Fib (an inbred cousin of the Big Lie), with his implication that there has been a problem with election integrity in Virginia electoral contests, and for this reason he is proposing to “reinstate Voter ID” which he claims the Democratic legislature “removed.” In fact, the Democratic-led legislature greatly improved and strengthened Virginia’s voter ID rules, creating a much more detailed list of IDs that voters can produce to vote. (For that list, see www.elections.virginia.gov/ media/formswarehouse/voter-id/

outreach-materials/documents/Voter-Identification-Chart-Rev-4-28-21. pdf.) As a reminder to Mr. Webert, a few months ago Virginia Republicans did very well under these election reforms, winning our state’s three highest elected offices and regaining a majority in our House of Delegates. Virginia Republicans won in an environment with historically large voter turnout and new pro-voter Virginia voting laws. These reforms include allowing “no excuse” voteby-mail, implementing automatic voter registration, making Election Day a state holiday to reduce polling station congestion at the end of

Town should act on mold problem at dialysis center I have just read the article in the Fauquier Times (“Oxygen therapy business sues dialysis center over alleged mold problem,” March 9) and suggest that, as reported, it would appear that the town of Warrenton is abdicating its responsibilities to maintain local health and safety. Notwithstanding that there are conflicting technical reports in the dispute, each of the reports speaks of mold being present, so the report purchased by the dialysis center should not stymie the town’s own analysis of whether there is a present danger to the community. Mold is a dangerous, potentially life-threatening substance. It is very hard to believe that town staff is prepared to wait months for a first court hearing and for a third party’s determination whether or not this potentially serious safety hazard should be abated immediately. Patients coming for dialysis assume that those visits prolong -- not shorten -- their lives; a few days of rescheduling patients at the center so as to remediate the mold condition will assure that this assumption is correct. With the oxygen center potentially offering Warrenton so much — including the opportunity to host what may well become a national leader in this innovative therapy — now is hardly the time to be timid in safeguarding public health when faced with conditions that ought to be setting off alarm bells in town hall in any case. YAKIR M. LUBOWSKY Warrenton

the working day and making opportunities for voter validation clear, inclusive and accessible (with a long list of acceptable IDs and a backup sworn affidavit process available). Please note that, despite incurring losses this past November, Virginia Democrats are not complaining about unfair elections or voter fraud. Virginia’s current voter ID rules, which Webert pretends don’t exist and wants to replace, have been lauded as a “national model” — even by a Republican former chairman of the Federal Election Commission. (See https://roanoke.com/ opinion/commentary/potter-virginia-leading-the-way-on-democracy-reform-in-critical-election-year/ article_c4c9f9f8-5315-5267-92151ef4e7df110c.html and https:// campaignlegal.org/update/our-democracy-wins-when-we-have-accessible-voting-and-high-turnout ) I took the time in 2020 to observe counting of provisional ballots at the Fauquier registrar’s office. In 2021, I worked as an election official at Bradley Elementary School polling station. My takeaways: All provisional ballots were carefully examined by Fauquier Coun-

ty Registrar Alex Ables and his deputy, under the supervision of the three citizens of our electoral board, plus volunteer observers from the different parties. I received excellent training for my polling station duty and was impressed that my colleagues that day had each served the role for multiple elections – our teamwork was smooth and mutually supportive. For voters who had not brought acceptable ID, the policy is that they be offered to cast a provisional ballot – I think we had four such ballots out of the 1,056 ballots cast at Brumfield Elementary. My polling station manager, a man of long experience and great commitment to his role, personally oversaw the filling out and recording of these rare exceptions. Our Virginia election experience of November 2021 is a strong example that the freedom to vote and fair elections promote and protect responsive government for the American people. They benefit Americans and both major political parties.

Fauquier native Caroline Riley lends her free time to the Fauquier Free Clinic By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

Stay-at-home mom Caroline Riley is fortunate to have her children’s grandmothers nearby and eager to participate in her children’s lives. “I knew there was something valuable I could do with my time,” said Riley, a 2001 Fauquier High School graduate, of the free time the grandmothers afforded her. She and her husband had lived in New Jersey for a while, but she kept feeling Fauquier calling her home and closer to family. Once established back in Warrenton, Riley got a nudge from Fauquier Free Clinic Joan Hedgecock to consider volunteering there. “They needed volunteers in the dental department for administrative work. My first day there was the best day ever. I continue to get so much value out of volunteering,” said Riley. Nearly a decade later, Riley is still volunteering. “I go every Wednesday for my shift. This is my sixth year on the board and my third year leading the Advancement Committee [which focuses on fundraising, communication and community outreach]. Volunteering is the highlight of my week,” she said. Riley has never been on the payroll; she volunteers between 20 and 30 hours each month, depending on what activities are happening. Over the years, Riley has gotten to know many of the Free Clinic

patients and is now meeting their children. “Volunteering in the Free Clinic has given me an opportunity to know our community beyond my own social circles,” she said. Riley spearheads school dental screening, just one of the free clinic community events. “This program brings the dentist into the schools. Before COVID, we were able to see 50 to 80 students at each school visit,” she said. The dental volunteers work with school nurses to document any dental concerns and encourage those students to visit the clinic. “With this program, we have seen approximately 40% of students for follow-up work. It’s been really good to get dental education and Free Clinic information out there,” she said. Riley’s volunteer efforts are not limited to the Free Clinic, she also serves on the P.B. Smith Elementary School PTO where she is the current vice president. “We have a strong PTO because of our leadership. Just like the Free Clinic’s leadership with Rob Marino, P.B. Smith has a wonderful leader, the principal Linda Smith,” she said. The feeling is mutual. The Free Clinic’s director Marino said: “Caroline quickly became an indispensable part of the Free Clinic. She greets patients at the window as a check-in volunteer, organizes fun community picnics and parties, joins our dental team in school screenings and sits in on planning

Samantha James of Warrenton RN, Fauquier Health

Fauquier Health honored Samantha James, RN, as the fourth quarter DAISY Team award recipient for 2021. James was nominated multiple times and was commended for her compassion and personality.

Caroline Riley team conferences. “She stepped forward to serve as the board president and led the clinic through all kinds of challenges. Because of the kind of person she is, other volunteers who worked with her day-to-day in the clinic didn’t even know that she oversaw the whole organization. She is both effervescent and effective and doesn’t look for recognition. “By the end of her term as president, the clinic had developed a multi-year plan to grow and meet patient needs, all while navigating a

global health care emergency. She’s a natural leader and a joy to work with.” Another place to find Riley is Old Town Athletic Club, where she is member. Otherwise, she cherishes time at home with her family. “I am one of five, and Chris is one of four. Family is very important to us,” she said. When not volunteering, her children keep her busy. Eleanor plays soccer, Grant plays flag football, and her third child, William, who is 4, also plays soccer.

CELEBRATE WOMEN

Frances Wilson Grayson of Warrenton

Women’s rights activist The niece of Woodrow Wilson, Frances Wilson Grayson came to live in Warrenton when she married John Grayson in 1914. During her nine years in Warrenton, she became extremely active in the women’s suffrage movement and was a member of the Warrenton chapter of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia, which was the largest state-level association in the South. Wilson had a flair for theater, having attended the Chicago School of Arts and then Swarthmore College for Recitation and Dramatic Arts. In August 1915, the president of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia visited Warrenton for the first time, and Wilson gave a dramatic reading of a popular suffragist play titled “War Brides” during a meeting in honor of her. Wilson would continue her participation in the league until the ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920, at which point the Equal Suffrage League converted to the League of Women Voters. Later in her life, after she divorced her husband and left Warrenton, she became one of our nation’s first female aviators. Inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight in May of 1927, she became determined to be the first woman pilot to make the journey, hoping to “prove that women can compete with man in his own undertakings.” When asked about the danger, Wilson said, “I would rather give my life to something big and worthwhile than to live longer and do less.” On December 23, 1927, at 5:07 P.M, she took off for a transatlantic from Curtis Field, Long Island with a crew of three. While en route to Newfoundland, her plane disappeared into a storm over the Atlantic. Wilson and her crew were never found and presumed dead.

KETTLE RUN BASEBALL PREVIEW

‘I THINK WE’RE GOOD OFFENSIVELY’

Cougars building around senior pitchers Yergey and Ellis and catcher Ascari By Peter Brewington

FAST FACT

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Kettle Run’s always-successful baseball program went 7-4 in the abbreviated, pandemic-shortened 2021 season. Although the Cougars missed regionals after losing to James Wood 5-2 in the Northwestern District semifinals, it was the 11th winning season in the program’s 12 years. Veteran coach Ty Thorpe expects continued success in 2022. His squad is led by senior righthanders Harrison Yergey and Kyle Ellis. Plus, improved hitting punch is expected from the regular lineup, making a ninth regional appearance in Thorpe’s 13 seasons (2020 was not played) a realistic goal. “This team is different. It seems to be a group that is starting off a little bit of an underdog, but if we gel and play to our potential, it could be pretty good,” said Thorpe. “I think we’re good offensively. We have some kids that can swing it well, with pretty good speed at the top. We should be able to do things at the plate.” He notes the team is a little young with four sophomores and a freshman making up five spots on the 13man varsity.

Kettle Run has five football team members on the squad in Beau Lang, Peyton Mehaffey, Trey Western, Josh Witte and Connor Adair.

Kettle Run coach Ty Thorpe expects senior Harrison Yergey (above) to be one of his key players. The Cougars opened with a 9-5 win over Brentsville Monday and host Liberty Thursday at 6 p.m. Yergey and Ellis provide two vital building blocks on the mound. “As far as varsity experience, those are the only two. Everyone else is a young’un,” said Thorpe. Although their motions are a little different, Yergey and Ellis are very similar. “They’re not going to wow

you with an electric fastball, but they have good control of their pitches. They’re not afraid to throw anything at any time,” Thorpe said. While the duo figures to handle most of the key district games, Thorpe has other arms he’ll need to use, especially as baseball returns to

a full schedule. Sophomore Warren Bernard, who played late last year as a freshman, is a sturdy 6-foot-2 righty who’ll get ample time to prove himself on the mound, as will fellow sophomore Logan Overhulser, the Cougars’ only left-handed thrower (although he bats righty). “Those two kids play competitive showcase travel baseball and we hope they’re able to step up.” Thorpe said.

GIRLS LACROSSE PREVIEW

Liberty, Kettle Run, Fauquier want lots of goals this spring By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

There will be new faces aplenty when the Liberty girls lacrosse starters are announced in pregame introductions. The Eagles graduated six multi-year starters from last spring’s 6-5 campaign, and two others opted not to return, leaving coach Amy Lacey with eight holes to fill. “We’re trying to figure out the best fit for the team’s success in those eight starting spots that opened up,” said Lacey, whose Eagles open Thursday at Unity Reed. “I can’t really pinpoint any specific players because each of my returning varsity players brings something unique to the team,” said Lacey, adding she is pleased with the developing chemistry. “I am impressed with how well the new to varsity players are keeping up with the returners. “My hopes for the season are like every year--for the girls to have fun and grow together on and off the field. And winning would be nice.”

Foudray said sophomore goalkeeper Abigail Beattie will anchor the defense, while attacker Morgan Mahoney has looked good so far. Foudray stressed she will rely heavily on seniors Carleigh Wood, Emilie Muma and Zarah Ford. “Having seasoned and experienced players to help lead us on the field will be crucial for our success,” Foudray said.

SOFTBALL PREVIEW

‘IT’S LIKE HAVING SIX CO-COACHES’

Veteran Falcons look primed to make another state tournament run; Kettle Run and Liberty need time to gel By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

A player’s athleticism and skills top the shopping list when most coaches select their squads. Often very close behind are the elements of experience and leadership. The Fauquier High softball program lost only two players from the 2021 unit that opened its season with a county-record 16 straight victories en route to the Northwestern District’s regular-season and tournament championships and a regional final berth. Those Falcons fell one win shy of a state semifinal berth, but the current veteran-laden crew again seems to be a top contender in the 2022 district race. The defending champs boast 11 varsity returnees, headed by a half dozen seniors, who are the core of the squad, head coach Erika Lamper says. “We are blessed to have six strong, talented and dedicated seniors. They know this program in and out,” Lamper said. “They know what we expect on and off the field, and they live it every day. “It’s like having six co-coaches. We love it as a coaching staff.” Fauquier must replace two fouryear starters in second baseman Emma Carter and pitcher/first baseman Meghan Harrington, but replacements were easy to find. Skye Corum slides from third base into the pitcher’s circle, and a pair of 2021 starting outfielders

move into the infield. Katie Harrington takes over at third base, with Mikayla Gilmore now at second. Gilmore led the team in hitting with a batting average over .500. The Falcons’ depth of skilled and versatile players is reassuring. “We have a pretty good idea where players will be,” said Lamper. “But positions will change with whom we have pitching and who’s hot with the bat at the time.” “It’s mainly just trying to figure out where the puzzle pieces fall, but nothing we are worried about.”

Liberty joins Kettle Run as a very young team, as the Eagles will be starting four sophomores and one freshman this spring according to fourth-year head coach Chris Leatherman.

fensive positions and batting lineup. I suspect that it will take a few games to get things set,” he predicted, as Liberty opens play this week. Liberty will travel to Kettle Run Thursday in the Northwestern District opener for both schools at 6 p.m. Senior Katelynn Lewis is an experienced hurler, who will see the most time in the circle during the season. Leatherman said Lewis, catcher Lauren Leatherman and speedy centerfielder Isabelle Cavins will act as stabilizers. See SOFTBALL, page 28

Kettle Run catcher Ascari ‘handles all the pitchers and is a field general’ BASEBALL, from page 25 Senior Beau Lang and freshman Nate Wiles are also being counted on as pitchers, with Wiles being penned in as the starting shortstop. Lang could relieve and also play first base. Josh Witte may also be used as a reliever. A mainstay and team leader is senior catcher Jake Ascari, who’ll play at West Virginia Wesleyan. “Jake is a great kid. He competes every day. He handles all the pitchers and is a field general making sure everyone is in the right spot. He’s also a good offensive player,” said Thope. Ascari will likely bat second in the order. The rest of the regular lineup includes junior J.J.

Mulhern, who is expected to lead off and play center field. Second baseman Trey Western will bat third. “He’s a solid athlete, a football kid who has gotten a little bigger. He’s got a little power and puts it in play,” said Thorpe. Sophomore Connor Adair is slated to play third base and bat fourth, followed by Overhulser. Returnee Peyton Mehaffey, another solid hitter, is being moved from third base to left field. The bottom of the lineup figures to have some combination of Bernard, Ellis, Wiles or Lang. As the new shortstop, Wiles “is a very good defensive player and swings well for being a young kid,” Thorpe said about the freshman.

Sophomore Trent DeRosa is also on the squad. Kettle Run has 13 varsity players, the lowest since Thorpe started his program. “It’s an unfortunate trend. Baseball numbers are dropping,” said Thorpe, who had 16 players each on varsity and JV last year. He says COVID, which wiped out the 2020 season and adjusted everyone’s lives, was a contributor. “It’s a combination of things. A lot of kids drop baseball for a little while. And not keeping up with skills, it shows. Baseball is such a mental game. If you don’t have success, it can drive you away from it,” Thorpe said. He adds there is talent on the 14-member JV team, a positive sign for the future.

GIRLS SOCCER PREVIEW

With 14 returnees, Falcons hope for winning campaign By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier girls soccer coach Josh Smith expects his team to turn heads this year. The program has struggled in recent years. As a result, Smith believes many schools view Fauquier as an automatic victory. “This year we hope to change the way people look at Fauquier girls soccer,” Smith said. “We’re here to change that and feel that the process began last year with the close games that should’ve gone our way.” The Falcons have a large contingent of 14 varsity returnees, including seven seniors. “They are all deeply passionate about how the season ended last year and feel they deserve more. They want to send a message this year,” Smith said of last year’s 3-8 run The high level of experience has equated to solid chemistry and an encouraging camaraderie off of the pitch, Smith said. Smith wants one major thing to change, however, to make Fauquier more potent on attack. “We have a lot of ‘us’ players which is fantastic, but sometimes you need a ‘me’ player to take over and set the tone offensively,” Smith said, hoping one or more go to attackers will emerge. Fauquier opens its season at Falcon Field versus Sherando. NOTE: Liberty and Kettle Run did not respond to questions on this year’s team.

Ritchie Jacobs is Cougars’ new softball coach

HOME SWEET HOME IMPROVEMENTS

SOFTBALL, from page 26 “[They] have started on varsity throughout high school, so I’m counting on them for leadership and to help guide our team,” the coach said. “The ladies are working hard, and I’m excited for the new year,” Leatherman added. “My goals for the year are for everyone to improve their game and to have fun.”

Cougars have new coach and no seniors

Whether you are planning to remodel your kitchen, transform your master bath, finish a basement or build an addition, you need more than a contractor. You need a partner you can trust with the possession that says the most about what you value and the way you live.

Kettle Run will be searching for an identity this spring. The Cougars have a new coach and only three full-time varsity returnees in the fold, and there are no seniors on the 15-girl roster. The squad has four juniors, six sophomores and five freshmen, so there will be early season question marks. Ritchie Jacobs takes over the pro-

FHS looks primed for solid year LACROSSE, from page 25 The biggest challenge this spring may be the team’s small roster size, the coach pointed out, but the overall experience level and athleticism are helping to compensate. “Our players are having to be versatile,” Foudray said. “While we have semi-set positions, we work the girls around the fields based on the needs of the game. “We are lucky to have incredibly athletic players who are strong both offensively and defensively. Everyone has been rising to the challenge and really pushing each other to be better.”

gram’s reins from Tori Hill. While varsity experience is scarce, the new coach believes potential exists throughout the roster. “This is a new team and a change in coaching staff,” Jacobs stated. “We expect there to be normal uncertainties and refinement.” Jacobs cited two juniors he likes so far. Kylie Wikerson, the No. 1 pitcher, and Delaney Lail “will act as our foundation,” he said. “Considering their time at Kettle Run and skill potential, they both have a chance to lead the team, if they so choose.” Jacobs said his players’ overall youthfulness can be an asset, praising their ability to listen and learn. He also lauded their respect for the sport and each other. Kettle Run opens its Northwestern District campaign Thursday with a 6 p.m. home game against county rival Liberty.

Ken McInnis is happy. The Fauquier girls lacrosse season was canceled in 2020 and limited to nine games last spring by pandemic measures. Now, the team is ready to take on a full 14-game schedule, and he believes the outlook is promising despite an 0-9 mark last spring. “They are hungry, committed and ready to have a full season. We are playing more like a team this year, not relying on one girl to take the shot.,” McInnis said of his group, offering the school’s two solid preseason scrimmages as proof. “I had one attack score three goals in our first scrimmage and one in her second. That same girl scored four [total] goals all of last year,” he said, noting all of his forwards and midfielders registered shots on goal unlike last spring when many of the younger players were hesitant. Often Fauquier had just three or four players actively looking to shoot. “It makes a big difference in a game when everyone is a threat, and they all have the capability to score,” McInnis emphasized. “We are way ahead of where we were last year.” The eight-year head coach noted his varsity unit numbers are smaller than usual. Instead of being slotted into a single role, his players will find themselves playing multiple po-

PLANNING A COMMITTAL SERVICE

A committal service is a memorial service held at the time a body is committed to the ground. The committal service is the final goodbye for the family and loved ones of the deceased. While many families choose to have a committal following a funeral service, it can also occur separately. If you are considering a committal service, there are a few things to know before planning. Committal services are brief affairs, usually lasting less than 30 minutes. Typically, once everyone arrives at the cemetery, prayers and scriptures are read and friends and family may offer a few words. Attendees will walk by the casket to pay their final respects, and the casket is then respectfully lowered. MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers personalized, professional, and compassionate services to you and your family. Our goal is to reduce the burden on your family so that you can focus on celebrating your loved one’s life and beginning your journey towards healing. If you would like to learn more about the services we offer, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Lives are like rivers: eventually they go where they must. Not where we want them to.” Richard Russo
