Warrenton clinic sees uptick in appointments now that ages 12 to 15 may get vaccinations By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
On May 12, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized for emergency use the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children 12 to 15, making it the first available option for parents who would like to have their children vaccinated. At this point, the Moderna vaccine and the Johnson & Johnson, one-shot vaccine, are approved for those 18 and older. The Warrenton vaccine clinic at 143 Lee Highway in Warrenton opened appointments to those aged 12 and older immediately after federal approval, according to Michael Guditus, emergency manager for Fauquier County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management. He said, “That night and into the next day we registered well over 90 new appointments for Thursday’s clinic, taking it from 91 appointments (already registered) to a total of 187 vaccinated by the day’s end.” He said that almost half of those vaccinated were in the 12to 15- year-old age range. Guditus added, “Tuesday, May 18, we vaccinated 568, with 93 walk-ins. Many were par-
ents bringing in their children, and some being vaccinated for the first time with their kids. Lots of smiling faces and excitement over getting life back to normal.” Guditus said that his team has “reached out to the parents of county school children and local private schools and received a really positive response. The clinic was focusing on 16 and older students to prepare them for summer break and for college, but now allows 12 and older.” Clinic hours have been extended and on clinic days, the facility is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate after-school appointments. Wednesday clinics have also been added. The next available clinic day is Wednesday, May 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Guditus said, “We do take walk-ins but prefer they call our call center (540-422-0111) to ensure we have vaccine on hand.” For parents looking for reliable information about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, Guditus recommended the websites for the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) and the Virginia Department of Health (vdh.virginia. gov). He said the websites “are quite helpful in answering questions for those new age groups.”

To conquer the pandemic, keep our family and neighbors safe and to return to a new normal, vaccinations are the essential answer. We are tremendously fortunate that the vaccines in our country are safe and effective.

Vietnam veteran is recognized for his service to the U.S. Army and to VFW Post 7728 By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
When 19-year-old James Goad was drafted into the U.S. Army in May of 1968, his then-wife was pregnant with their first child. His son, Rick, “was 9 months old the first time I saw him,” said the Vietnam War veteran. Goad did his duty, but he still resents those who ran away from their responsibility to the country. It was a hard time, he said, and just as hard when he returned home two years later to a less than welcoming citizenry. He doesn’t like to talk about it. “It was bad,” he said, “the heat, the rain, the death.” As an MP for the infantry, Goad did not have a home base. “We were always moving,” he said. He remembered having a good friend while he was in Vietnam. “We met over there. He was from Vienna [Virginia]. We hung together over there and kept in touch some when we got back,” but Goad said, “he has passed.” On Sunday, Goad got a visit from some of his friends from the VFW Post 7728 in Morrisville. Current Commander Sgt. Russ Claar said he heard Goad hadn’t been feeling well and he wanted to make sure he was supported. Goad agreed that he hasn’t been well. He said he’d been exposed

(Agent Orange was used by the U.S. military as part of its herbical warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971 to eliminate forest cover and crops.) Claar drove a 1954 M38 A1 Army Jeep to Goad’s home in Sumerduck
and a 1971, two-and-a-half-ton troop and cargo truck made the trip too. Ron Roberts, the current senior vice commander who will take over as post commander July 1, Dan Maine, Ted Lawson and Wayne Robinson also stopped by to see their friend and bring him some tokens of appreciation for his service and for his dedication to the VFW post.

Kimberly Beahm, a Sumerduck neighbor came by too. Beahm is a volunteer with Hero’s Bridge and Goad’s “Battle Buddy.” The men presented Goad with a certificate commemorating his service to the VFW post, a pin recognizing his service in Vietnam and a replica of “The Three Servicemen,” a bronze statue by Frederick Hart that is on display at the Washington D.C. Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial. The prizes will no doubt have a place near the photos, ribbons and medals – a good conduct medal, one for national defense, one for Vietnam service and one commemorating the Vietnam campaign -- that are displayed on the walls of Goad’s Sumerduck home.

Legal marijuana is coming, but county has flexibility on zoning, retail sales MARIJUANA, from page 1 Most notably, the governing board of a county or city may vote to hold a public referendum on whether to prohibit retail sales of marijuana within its jurisdiction. The county also has some ability to regulate where industrial growing or processing sites could go. At a May 13 work session, supervisors were hesitant to comment in detail about the possible implications of marijuana legalization for the county, emphasizing there is time to consider the consequences before the law takes full effect in 2024. The state law allows for localities to hold a referendum as early as next year on whether to prohibit retail sales. “The referendum would not ban all marijuana in the county, so it does not apply to growers and processors. It would only apply to retail sales,” County Attorney Tracy Gallehr explained. Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District) was the only board member to address the topic at the work session. He was noncommittal. “The referendum question, for me, will come from the voters. If enough people show up and ask us for it then we would do it, in my opinion.” If voters choose to ban retail sales, another referendum could be held to revisit the question after four years. But, as Gallehr explained, “If the voters vote down the ban, you’re never eligible to do another referendum and try to seek to abolish retail establishments.” If retail sales are allowed to go ahead, supervisors could impose a local tax of 3% on marijuana sales in the county, on top of the 21% sales tax the state will impose. On the growing and processing side, Gallehr and Chief of Zoning & Development Services Amy Rogers emphasized Fauquier is unlikely to be inundated by commercial marijuana producers. The state will issue a fixed number of commercial growing licenses for the entirety of Virginia, limiting their number. “I don’t anticipate everyone farming [in Fauquier County] is going to be turning into a marijuana farm under the legislation,” said Rogers. But while the county can’t require a special exception or a special permit for an agricultural activity – including growing marijuana -- in an agriculturally zoned district, supervisors could develop standards these facilities must meet, Gallehr said, like setbacks from roads, schools and
businesses and other requirements that apply to the property such as the amount of artificial light emitted at night. (Security is a particular priority for commercial marijuana growers, Gallehr said.) Rogers added the county could create zoning standards for retail businesses selling marijuana. “We don’t want any marijuana retail stores in a 7-11, possibly.” Establishing standards for commercial growers might be especially important, Gallehr added, since marijuana “farms” are often large, indoor facilities. “Some of these agricultural facilities are substantial improvements,” Gallehr said. “Often they are not backyard farms or even a Marriott Ranch level farm, but they are more like a data center or greenhouse facility that looks more like a data center: an entirely closed grow facility that needs a high amount of water usage and electricity usage.” Rogers said the board could be creative. One town in Colorado, for instance, created a special zoning district specifically for cannabis production. “We kind of have open doors right now; we have time to get it done because we really have a year or two before everything gets rolling,” she said. Cedar Run District Supervisor Rick Gerhardt said he expects his district to be the focus of potential commercial growing sites, as it covers the agricultural flatlands of southeastern Fauquier County that are traversed by major power transmission lines. Commercial growing facilities “require a ton of power, and you know where that’s going to sit in Fauquier County, because there’s only a ton of power on a certain line,” he said. He has expressed interest in requiring setbacks and security standards for these facilities. Board Chairman Chris Granger (Center District) pointed out it is already legal to grow hemp in Fauquier County on land zoned for agriculture. (Hemp is the same species of plant as cannabis but generally has lower levels of THC, the main psychoactive element in recreational marijuana. Hemp has a wide variety of industrial uses.) “From a growing/agricultural standpoint, we allow commercial greenhouses on ag land, and you can grow hemp right now,” Granger said. “So … from a growing standpoint, it’s really not that much different than hemp, except for the security piece.” Gallehr suggested supervisors explore whether
Marijuana legalization in Virginia
In February, the Virginia General Assembly voted to legalize recreational marijuana in the state, becoming the 15th U.S. state to do so. That bill was scheduled to take effect in 2024, but in April, lawmakers narrowly voted to concur with amendments proposed by Gov. Ralph Northam (D), speeding up the implementation timeline. Consequently, some aspects of the law will take effect this year. As of July 1, adults 21 years old and older may possess up to one ounce of marijuana for recreational use. Possessing more than an ounce -- but less than a pound -- will be a civil violation triggering a $25 fine. Possession of more than a pound will remain a felony. Although retail sales will remain prohibited in the state until 2024, adults 21 years old and older will be allowed to cultivate plants – up to four plants per household – beginning July 1, and those adults 21 years old and older may give up to an ounce of marijuana to each other in private. The public use or sharing of marijuana will remain illegal. Driving under the influence of marijuana will also remain illegal, and the law includes a presumption that any “open container” found in the passenger area of a vehicle means the driver has consumed it, so long as the “the appearance, conduct, speech, or other physical characteristic of such person, excluding odor, is consistent with the consumption of marijuana or marijuana products.” Since retail sales – and therefore retail packaging – won’t be legal in Virginia until 2024, “That means marijuana in any other container other than a currently non-existent manufacturer’s container will be considered as being in an open container now and in the future,” ACLU of Virginia Executive Director Claire Guthrie Gastañaga told the Virginia Mercury last month. The law passed this year creates a new state regulatory agency called the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority; that agency will begin issuing retail licenses effective in 2024. A fixed number of licenses will also be issued permitting growing facilities in the state, also beginning in 2024. to extend the same land-use tax credits to marijuana production facilities that are currently available to other types of agricultural producers in the county. “These large scale [marijuana] agricultural operations: Are they going to qualify for land-use taxation? You may not realize some of the economic boon that such a facility may provide,” she said. Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@fauquier.com
In the wake of gravesites’ desecration, Prince William County’s plan to preserve historic cemeteries takes shape By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
In response to threats and damage to primitive African American and Native American cemeteries in Thoroughfare, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors took tentative action Tuesday to fund several efforts aimed at better protecting historic cemeteries and communities throughout the county. In a non-binding straw poll, the board voted unanimously May 18 to signal its intent to spend about $740,000 annually, including this year, to hire additional staff to oversee a “cemetery preservation program” and to launch a “historic communities program.” The board also asked staff to look into establishing a historic district

around Thoroughfare to designate its value as a place where former slaves and Native Americans and their descendants created a largely self-sufficient community after the Civil War.
Cemetery preservation program
The cemetery preservation program would be aimed at ensuring that people with historic cemeteries on their properties know they exist – which is not always the case, as was demonstrated by the recent clearing of the “Scott family cemetery” in Thoroughfare. A 1-acre lot containing the Scott family cemetery was purchased in 2020 by the Farm Brewery at Broad Run. The brewery cleared the land earlier this spring to plant sunflowers and corn. The brewery did not apply for the necessary permit to clear the

land and has since been cited with a zoning violation. Now, the brewery is working with county officials to identify and delineate the gravesites and cordon them off to protect them from future development, county Public Works Director Tom Smith told the supervisors May 18. The brewery’s owners have said
they never knew the cemetery was on the land. The cemetery, which is estimated to contain 75 to 100 graves, was included on a 2001 survey of the county’s historic cemeteries but was never added to the property’s deed or county land records, Smith said. See CEMETERIES, page 12

Oak View National Bank plans new headquarters, main branch on Waterloo Street By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
More than a decade after its founding, Warrenton-based Oak View National Bank will soon have a purpose-built headquarters and main branch. The company plans to build a 7,000 square foot building on a vacant lot on Waterloo Street, just down the road from its current headquarters on Broadview Avenue, according to the bank’s CEO. If everything goes to plan, the new facility will be open within one to two years. The new Warrenton facility will feature a drive thru, something currently lacking from the Broadview Avenue location. “The main reason for moving to the new location is to provide drive thru service to our customers,” said Oak View CEO Mike Ewing. This week’s announcement is the culmination of a five-year search for a suitable property, and 20 to 30 locations were considered. The bank was founded in 2009 and is currently headquartered in a former tractor dealership at 128 Broadview Ave.; additional retail banking branches are located in Marshall and Culpeper and a loan production office is located in Rappahannock County. The new building will also “allow us to continue to add staff to serve our growing customer base,” Ewing added, noting the bank is utilizing about 3,800 square feet of space in its current Warrenton headquarters. The new site is located on a 1.2-acre lot at 340 Waterloo St. at the corner of Garrett Street and is adjacent to the Waterloo Station Shopping Center. “This location will allow easy access to the downtown area as well as convenient access to

In addition to the new main office, Ewing said the bank has taken steps to expand and improve its online banking services recently. “We’ve spent the better part of the last year improving our digital products,” he said.

and processing, for instance, will soon be available, he said. “We are firmly committed to remaining an independent community bank and establishing a facility in town is … indicative of that,” said Ewing. Buoyed by the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program – Oak View is a participating lender – and an increase in deposits, the bank posted a $764,898 profit the first quarter of 2021, up 310% from the same period last year.

Warrenton Town Limits will feature fireworks on July 2 By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
The Town of Warrenton will again host Warrenton Town Limits, a local celebration of Independence Day. Like last year, the event will be a modified version, without entertainment, games and vendors. Scheduled for Friday, July 2, at about 9:30 p.m., fireworks will be the main attraction. Town Councilman Sean Polster (at large) said that because of the uncertainty around COVID-19 restrictions, there wasn’t time to plan a major event, like in 2019. “We usually start planning in October, the year before the event. There just
wasn’t time to pull it together for this year.” Another barrier to a full-blown celebration is the cost. “It’s a big lift to fund it … Don Johns, tents and the fireworks… we didn’t have the time to fundraise.” The 2021 fireworks are being sponsored by Puffenbarger Insurance and Fauquier Health. “I sent out a letter,” Polster said, “and Jennifer Puffenbarger was the first to reach out to me. ‘We’re in,’ she said. ‘What do you need?’ “And of course, the hospital was ready to contribute,” Polster said. The fireworks show will cost $8,000, but the project will be entirely funded by these “community partners.”
A 12 ½-minute fireworks display by Innovative pyrotechnics will be presented at the WARF for residents to enjoy. The Athey Sports Complex will be closed beginning at dusk on July 1 until dawn on July 3, so visitors will not be able to watch fireworks from the fields. The WARF parking lot will be open to fireworks watchers and Polster said sports fields and parking lots at Fauquier High School, across the street from the WARF, will be another prime viewing spot. The WARF parking area off Route 211 will be closed. Polster said the town is still considering other activities for the day.
CALENDAR EVENTS MLK CELEBRATION TO BE HELD VIRTUALLY MAY 31 Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Warrenton will host a live-streamed celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. at 1 p.m. Monday, May 31. The annual celebration is usually held in January to coincide with the national holiday in King’s honor, but the event was postponed this year because of the pandemic. Pastor Tyrone Green of Hearts Delight Baptist Church in Catlett will be the keynote speaker and the community choir assembled each year for the event will perform, led by the Rev. Lemuel Montgomery. The theme of the day will be “pursuing unity daily.” Only event participants will be allowed in the building as a health precaution; members of the public may watch the event live on Mount Zion’s Facebook page or YouTube channel, on Zoom (meeting ID: 642-041-058, passcode: 537311.) or listen to the service by calling 301-715-8592.

Singer/songwriter releases new album produced during pandemic Tanner Carlton grows his style, talents, and is ready for live performances By Liam Bowman
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
Unlike many small-town musicians who fantasize about finding fame in big cities like Nashville or Los Angeles, Tanner Carlton is content with rural life. Born and raised in Fauquier County, he has little desire to give up the peaceful isolation of his Remington farmhouse -- nor his dream of making music. Even a decade ago, the prospect of combining rural living and being a singer-songwriter with the hope of reaching a wide audience would have been impossible. But now, with the independence afforded by technology and online streaming platforms, he can have both. Earlier this month, the 29-yearold Warrenton native released his third solo album, “Middle of Nowhere.” Built around Carlton’s soft vocals and acoustic strumming, the six-track indie rock album has a warm, tranquil sound that Carlton said reflects his ties to the area. “I feel more connected to the sounds of the area than ever,” he said. “When I look at the landscape around the farm that I live on, I’m like: this is what [the land] sounds like to me.” Confined to his instrument-cluttered farmhouse during the pandemic, Carlton recorded the entire album in his living room, using a laptop and an inexpensive microphone. “This record is the first time I’ve been completely self-reliant in a solo project,” said Carlton, who played almost every instrument himself, “and I think I’m probably a stronger songwriter than ever.” The isolation allowed Carlton, a normally collaboration-oriented musician, to experiment freely with his sound and be uncompromising in how he put the album together. “He gave himself the power to make what he wanted to make … how he wanted to make it,” said Maddison Hicks, Carlton’s girlfriend and fellow singer-songwriter, who contributed two guitar solos to the album. “You can really hear [Tanner’s] personality and expertise in his music.” Raised in a music-loving family, Carlton started playing guitar in middle school and immediately felt drawn to making his own music. “[There] was just this longing for creating something of my own,” he said. And from an early stage, this longing drove Carlton to explore a wide range of musical styles. In high school, he formed a pop punk band, From Coast to Skyline, that performed regularly around Warrenton. While attending the University of Mary Washington, he fronted the alternative hip-hop group Goody; he graduated in 2014 with a degree in American studies. After college,

Remington singer/songwriter Tanner Carlton Carlton settled into a soft folk sound in his solo work. “I think Tanner really learned from those [experiences],” said Mason Carlton, Tanner’s younger brother, a musician and former band member who runs the Culpeper-based record label, Rixey Records, that the brothers co-founded after college. “Middle of Nowhere is something he’s been working toward for years … and the record is a testament to the type of musician he actually is.” As with his previous albums, “Back of a Bottle Shop” (2015) and “Front of a Magazine” (2016), Carlton released “Middle of Nowhere” through Rixey Records. On the evening of May 7, Carlton and Hicks, performing as the acoustic duo Wine Thief, gave the inaugural live performance of “Middle of Nowhere” at Jackleg Sandwich Company in Culpeper. The small audience, mostly close friends, let out sporadic cheers of encouragement during the new songs. “It’s been really cool to watch the songs grow before the final versions,” said Gina Catalano, co-owner of Jackleg Sandwich and a close friend of the couple. “They’re just incredible.” With Wine Thief and his other band, A.P Project, Carlton has been able to maintain a steady flow of socially distanced gigs during the pandemic. He still holds on to his day job, however, coaching gym and soccer at Grymes Memorial School in Orange. “I was doing music fulltime when I first moved down to Remington,” he said, “and [that] lifestyle was hard… I’m doing it for the love of it at this point.” Carlton, who recorded the Jackleg performance, has since floated the idea of releasing a live version of his album. “I’m just in this creative space right now,” he said. “I just want to keep playing awesome gigs… and releasing more and more music.”

Clevenger’s Village construction to begin soon CLEVENGER’S, from page 1 development will be built just across Route 229 from the existing South Wales subdivision, which includes more than 340 single-family homes. Emad Saadeh, managing partner of project owner Saadeh Partners, confirmed Monday that site work for Clevenger’s Village will begin “early this summer” and that model homes will be completed by this autumn, with “sales to follow.” Saadeh referred additional questions about the residential construction timeline to the Lennar Corporation, a Florida-based construction company. The individual listed as a media contact for Lennar did not respond to an emailed request for information and the voicemail at the listed number was full. Even if residential construction begins in earnest this year, however, the construction phases approved by county supervisors call for a six-year building timeline with no more than 150 building permits to be issued each year. The development will also include a substantial commercial element. Though a gas station, self-storage facility and veterinary clinic already exist at the intersection – across the highway from the development site -- the new construction will add the first major retail development to the area, with several drive-thrus envisioned for a “village core” commercial center located along U.S. 211, along with lots intended for a hotel, grocery store, library, bank and other retailers. Additional lots will be set aside for office buildings. Since U.S. 211 is the only major road linking the Jeffersonton area with U.S. 29 -- and therefore with most of Northern Virginia – the prospect of hundreds of new homes a few miles west of Warrenton has long influenced discussions about traffic in Warrenton, and on Broadview Avenue in particular. Currently, traffic from U.S. 211 must go through Warrenton via Broadview Avenue to access U.S. 29. New housing developments in northern Culpeper County have long led to suggestions for a bypass around the northwest boundary of Warrenton to link U.S. 211 to U.S. 17, which in turn connects to U.S. 29. A small portion of the bypass, called the Timber Fence Parkway, already exists, and the bypass is listed as a potentially needed improvement in the town comprehensive plan passed

earlier this year. (The Timber Fence Parkway appeared in previous comprehensive plans as well.) On Monday, Ward 4 Town Councilman James Hartman reiterated his opposition to building a bypass that links U.S. 211 to the major highways east of town. But he said developments like Clevenger’s Village might force Fauquier and Warrenton officials to look for solutions to deal with increasing traffic from that direction. “With the way things have developed along the Timber Fence Parkway, I don’t see any sensible reason that the road should be used to connect U.S. 29 and U.S. 17 to 211. I don’t know how that’s going to be beneficial to the folks in that neighborhood,” Hartman said, adding he supports building a “neighborhood connector” from the existing portion of the Timber Fence Parkway to Waterloo Road. Hartman said he is taking a waitand-see approach, especially consid-
ering the unknown long-term effects of the pandemic on commuting habits. Even without the Clevenger’s Village project, traffic is often backed up on Broadview during rush hour. “Are we going to see the large volume of traffic [again] on Broadview in the morning and the evening? We don’t know yet,” Hartman said, acknowledging traffic seems to have increased in recent weeks as more people are vaccinated and returning to their offices. “We’ve seen the evening backups [on Broadview] increase in the past few weeks. We’ll see,” he said. Another factor is a multi-million-dollar improvement project on Broadview Avenue slated to begin within the next year. (Engineering work began in 2019.) But the focus of that project, Hartman pointed out, are mostly safety improvements like sidewalk and crosswalk upgrades, dedicated bike lanes and alterations to medians.
The 1,750-acre Clevenger’s Village tract is located in northern Culpeper County just over the Fauquier County line, between Rixeyville Road (Route 229) and the Rappahannock River. The tract borders Lee Highway (U.S. 211) on its north side and Jeffersonton Road (Route 621) on its south side. In addition to the 774 housing units, almost all of which will come in the form of single-family homes, the development plan includes 350,000 square feet of commercial and office space at the north end of the property along U.S. 211. Originally known as Clevenger’s Corner, the project was first proposed by Texas-based Centex Homes in 2005, but plans to begin construction stalled when the national housing market crashed in 2008. Woodbridgebased developer Saadeh Partners bought the project in 2014, and the latest iteration of the proposal was approved by Culpeper County supervisors in 2019. More than 700 acres of the tract will be set aside in conservation easements, including a buffer zone between the river and planned buildings. The development will be built around the existing South Wales Golf Course, which winds through the central parts of the tract. Several dozen acres will also be set aside for a public elementary school and a middle school. “The construction on Broadview is not designed to increase traffic flow. It’s only designed to address safety issues,” Hartman said. Whether Clevenger’s Village forces the town’s hand is yet to be seen, he said. “There might be other solutions, but again, we’ll have to look at that; that’s an issue that’s a few years down the road.” When Culpeper County supervisors voted in 2019 to approve the latest iteration of the Clevenger’s plan, Center District Supervisor Chris Granger, whose district includes Warrenton, expressed frustration at the subdivision’s potential impact on Fauquier County and Warrenton, calling it a “poorly planned and mitigated development” that could have “significant impacts on traffic” in Fauquier. On Monday, Granger, like Hartman, took a wait-and-see approach. “The transportation improvements on Broadview are coming, and we’re just going to have to see what the impacts are,” he said.
Children are beginning to bear the weight of pandemic CHILDREN, from page 2 vaccine approval. The authorization and approval of a medical countermeasure, such as a vaccine during a public health emergency, does not lessen the significant demands for scientific rigor and safety data in all age groups.
Life will find a way
As of May 13, children now account for 24% of newly reported COVID-19 cases in the United States and territories. What does this newest data suggest
to me as a physician? As we successfully vaccinate adults, the SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, will find new individuals to infect. Those individuals are the children of our community. Almost 30 years ago, the movie Jurassic Park was the breakout movie of the summer, and these famous lines were delivered by mathematician Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum): If there’s one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it’s that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even danger-
ously ... Life will find a way. The virus causing COVID-19 will find a way to infect us. We took a tremendous leap forward in outrunning the painful impact of this virus with the development and approval for administration of safe vaccines. Now it is time to ensure that we protect the newest group, children, who are beginning to bear the weight of this pandemic.

Broadview birdhouses: The man with the wagon By Aimée O’Grady Special to the Times
When Glenn Palmer isn’t selling birdhouses on Broadview Avenue, he can be found in his workshop behind his home, making them. Palmer has been making birdhouses for more than two decades. Having lived in Warrenton since 2012, he has a nice set-up. A carport in front of a small tool shed serves as his main work station. With lights and power, he can begin working before the sun rises and well after it sets. Folding tables are piled high with completed bird houses of varying sizes, bird feeders, bat houses and -- popular each spring -- carpenter bee traps. Although he’s used mostly pine over the years, he has begun to make houses with PFV (polyvinyl fluoride, a synthetic resin) that has a much longer lifespan. Several adjacent sheds hold more inventory. The slight grade of his lawn that he needs to navigate to his worktable has become harder to manage for the 78-year-old. He wears a prosthetic on his left leg from the knee down and his balance has worsened over the years. Blind in one eye and suffering from deteriorating eyesight in the other, he doesn’t know how many more years he will be able to build the houses. But for now, he is grateful for the ability to sit outside, listen to music and build something for others to enjoy. He sells the houses, feeders and traps for anywhere from $15 for the carpenter bee trap, up to $85 for the deluxe two-story house with 12 access holes.
The early years
Trained for combat in the 1960s, U.S. Army reservist Palmer never saw any. He ended his military career in 1968 -- before being sent to Vietnam -- due to early diabetes symptoms he was exhibiting.

Glenn Palmer builds birdhouses and sells them on Broadview Avenue in Warrenton. Before enlisting, Palmer left his grandparents’ Orange County farm at 16 to learn bricklaying with his uncle in Northern Virginia. “I got up at 5 in the morning every day to milk cows on the farm,” he said. A relocation to Manassas began a 39-year career in the bricklaying industry, during which worked on several hospital buildings in the region including Fairfax, Manassas and Fauquier Health. “I would still be working in bricklaying if it weren’t for diabetes,” he said. At the end of each work week, Palmer would head for the Shenandoah River. “I would pack up Friday, return on Sunday and sleep on the ground,” he said. An avid fisherman, he ate everything he caught, which was mostly catfish and snapping tur-
tles served boiled, rolled in flour, and then fried. In 2001 his diabetes worsened, and he had to have the lower portion of his left leg removed, taking away his ability to drive. “The transition to one leg was easier than accepting that I couldn’t drive,” he said. Palmer, always drawn to the outdoors, couldn’t remain inside, “I can’t sit in the house.” To keep busy, he picked up woodworking, perhaps inheriting the talent from his father, who was a carpenter. For the past 23 years, he has been building birdhouses. Sometimes rising as early as 3 a.m. to start working. He can be found at the small woodworking shop behind the house during the week, listening to bluegrass music and building birdhouses which he then loads onto a wagon and drives via a lawn tractor to Broadview Avenue, where he sets up outside on the corner of Broadview and Gold Cup Drive in front of Murphy’s Motor Sports. He has become a popular Broadview fixture on weekends. “I am there every Saturday and Sunday until 3 or 4 unless it’s snowing or raining,” he said. Stricken again from complications from diabetes, Palmer had a toe on his right foot removed in November 2020 and spent six weeks in the hospital recovering from a post-surgical infection. “It’s the longest amount of time that I have sat in one place in my life,” he said. Once recovered, he returned to his workshop. Because of his poor eyesight, he uses a gauge on his saw to make precision cuts. Palmer plans to build birdhouses for as long as he can. “It’s like leading a horse to water, I can build the birdhouse but can’t get the birds to nest,” he joked. Palmer is grateful to the people who have stopped to buy a birdhouse. “Tell everyone that I am thankful to them for coming by,” he said.

Clifton Institute aims to restore a forest, one tree at a time By Liam Bowman
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
During recent Saturdays, a diverse crew of biologists, conservationists, school children and Mormon missionaries gathered in a pasture north of Warrenton, at 6712 Blantyre Road. Outfitted with rubber boots and shovels, they fan out across the muddy, uneven ground, on a mission to plant trees. The volunteers, led by a Warrenton-based conservation nonprofit, the Clifton Institute, are working to restore a 100-acre tract of grassland to a native grassland with riparian buffers after years of use for cattle grazing. They aim to plant nearly a thousand trees. Most of these new trees will serve as riparian buffers — forested areas near streams that filter pollutants and prevent erosion — which will improve the health of Cedar Run, which in turn will protect the watershed that flows through the pasture and eventually empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Trees are planted within 50 feet of the stream on either side. “[This project] is the biggest one I’ve heard of,” said Marie Norwood, land management outreach director for the Clifton Institute. For years, cattle were allowed to graze in and

around the streams that crisscross the land; as a result, the property became contaminated by fecal matter and eroded soil. This contamination of Cedar Run was harmful to the watershed and local wildlife, said Bert Harris, executive director of the Clifton Institute. “It was really bad,” he said. But, he added, “When you get the cows out and have a forested buffer, there’s a really diverse community of [wildlife] living in the creeks.” The trees are a combination of Pin Oaks, River Birches, Sycamores, Silky Dogwoods and Silver Maples, all of which are native to Virginia. Fully grown, they also will provide a habitat for native bird populations, which have been in decline due to suburban and agricultural development. On the morning of April 17, around 20 volunteers arrived at the institute’s field station for the second tree-planting day this year. Working in pairs, they stripped away invasive weeds and planted seedlings deep in the mud, inserting plastic tubes around the branches to deter hungry deer. “The trees are very vulnerable in the first years,” said Francisco Dallmeier, a biologist with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute who came out to volunteer, “and the deer are a big problem.” Among the volunteers were six Mormon missionaries from the Washington D.C. South Mission. “It’s neat knowing that you’re doing good things, even though we might not see the effects right away,” said Brittney Hahn, who recently arrived from Utah. “But if I come back to Virginia in 20 or 30 years, I might be able to see the impact we’ve had.” Owen Kemp, a high school student from Fredericksburg, was there to fulfill his community service requirement for the National Honor Society. “I really like the educational programs they have here,” he said as he planted seedlings with his father, Chris Kemp. “They’re always teaching us something new.” “We’ve been enjoying this land for years,” added his father. The process of reforesting the pasture began in November 2019, when the Clifton Institute applied for a nearly $7,000 grant from the National Resources Conservation Service, part of the U.S.

Local environmental organizations, such as the PATH Foundation and Friends of the Rappahannock, also contributed tools and additional funding. If these trees survive the vulnerable seedling stage, “the roots will start to stabilize the banks within two or three years,” said Harris. Harris plans to continue the riparian buffer planting in the adjacent pasture, which also belongs to the institute and is still being grazed. “On the grazing side, we’re trying to get funding for some more trees,” he said, which would lessen the cattle’s environmental impact. Dallmeier, who has worked on conservation projects around the world, hopes that more local landowners will adopt reforestation efforts. “Pretty soon you’ll be able to see what a natural Virginia landscape looks like,” he said.

Prince William County’s plan to preserve historic cemeteries takes shape CEMETERIES, from page 4 As proposed, a new cemetery preservation program would address the problem by ensuring that the county’s more than 430 historic cemeteries are noted on property tax records and in the county’s inter-governmental computer system, Smith said. The program, if adopted, would reach out to owners of properties that contain the cemeteries to help them identify and preserve them. Such work is voluntary under Virginia law unless property owners pull a permit to clear or develop a parcel that contains a cemetery. In such cases, landowners must identify and delineate grave sites, cordon them off and offer access to heirs and researchers, according to Virginia law. The cemetery preservation program would cost about $200,000 a year to implement and could offer property owners mini-grants to help pay for work needed to preserve historic cemeteries on private land, Smith said. Smith said old cemeteries on private properties can be a source of stress and confusion for landowners if they don’t
know what to do about them. The program would help them understand what is required of them as property owners as well as the opportunities available to help them preserve such cemeteries. “The intent here is to have a dedicated staff person to go through the list of those 433 cemeteries and contact the property owners and tell them we’re here to help,” Smith said.
Historic communities program
The proposed historic communities program, if funded, would allow the county to fully survey the Thoroughfare area for other historic gravesites, better document its history through oral interviews and develop an interpretive site or facility where that history might be shared. The county’s proposal envisions spending about $500,000 for the building of such a site, according to Seth Hendler-Voss, director of the county’s parks, recreation and tourism department. The money is part of about $3.6 million in historic preservation capital improvement projects Hendler-Voss identified as worthy of funding. Other potential projects in-
clude delineating and restoring the Purcell Cemetery and completing the Bushy Park house renovation. Other historic communities that could also benefit from the proposal include the Buckhall area, located in the mid-county area between Lake Ridge and Manassas, and the Dumfries-area site of the 18th century Neabsco Ironworks. Prior to the meeting, Frank Washington, a native of Thoroughfare, and other members of a coalition that formed to raise awareness about the need to protect the historic cemeteries there, held a press conference at which they announced that an additional 30 to 40 graves of slaves and Native American residents were identified in the Thoroughfare area just last weekend. The gravesites had not been previously identified but are located near a newer cemetery known as the “Fletcher Allen cemetery,” Washington said. Washington said the discovery warrants a halt on all development in the area until all gravesites can be identified. Washington also called for the investigation into the clearing of the Scott Cemetery to be reopened.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth said May 7 that her office had decided not to pursue criminal charges against the brewery as they could find no evidence that the graves were desecrated intentionally. Washington also said he is encouraged by the supervisors’ response to the cemetery’s clearing and their stated intent to ensure such a thing doesn’t happen again. He said he would continue to push for the entire Thoroughfare area to be declared a historic district, which is something the county board is also considering. “We have more and more … facts … concrete things that are showing that preservation and a thorough investigation needs to be done of Thoroughfare,” Washington said. “Ultimately, it should be designated as a historical area so that it has full protection, like so many monuments and lands that we have preserved that have a historical impact.” The supervisors are slated to take their formal vote on the proposals in June.

One Last Article: My Farewell to the Patriot Press Journalism is a wave of excitement. Taking Journalism 1 my freshman year, I had no idea the impact it was going to have on my life. Fast forward four years, I am a Journalism VI, under the instruction of Ms. Miller, and I am attending Ithaca College in the fall with a major in journalism. As a freshman, it never crossed my mind that taking one elective would mean so much to me during high school and be so impactful for my future. Journalism is thrilling and new. After every round of articles, there is always something new to be covered. Starting out as a sports editor, my main articles consisted of covering sports and sometimes throwing a Food Wars article to spice things up for me. However, after the switch from paper to digital, there were no more special category editors and honestly, it really opened up my mind to writing about new topics. I found myself writing more news and entertainment articles, even writing an editorial! Despite what topic I was writing about, it was always something that was new, interesting, and it never provided a dull moment in my high school journalism career.
Keely Crane Way back in 2017, my freshman year, this is a selfie that I took for Twitter. In it, I am posing with a Patriot Press newspaper that had my first ever written and published article in it. Journalism is a path to freedom. Similar to what I was saying before, Ms. Miller always allowed us to write about whatever we pleased. From writing movie reviews to editorial on important topics, the ideas were endless. This aspect of journalism is what really encouraged me to stick with the class. Not only did I know I was doing what I love, but I knew that I was able to write about whatever my heart was determined to write about that week.
Way back in 2017, my freshman year, this is a selfie that I took for Twitter. In it, I am posing with a Patriot Press newspaper that had my first ever written and published article in it. Journalism is a passion. Even when I wasn’t in a journalism class, I was still eager to cover more topics. Going into my junior and senior year, I found myself looking at local stories and thinking, “This could be a great article.” Throughout the rest of the 2020 school year that Covid-19 shut down and last summer, I found myself working on stories to keep our website nice and fresh. For some students that take this class, they see writing articles as homework or a grade. Personally, I see writing articles as a fun pastime, ready to write the next sentence after the other. Alumna Kaleece Blackwell and I had a pumpkin painting competi-
tion for a Halloween-themed Youtube video. Journalism is fun. Not only has this class strengthened my writing, but it has also just been a great experience. In addition to working on articles, we would go around the school collecting pictures or even shooting fun videos. Even though our Youtube channel has been slow this year due to the pandemic, I have some of my best memories from decorating pumpkins, asking athletes their pregame playlist, and having many artand-crafts sessions. The Patriot Press is a family. Throughout these past four years, I have made so many new friends, bonds, and memories. From laughing over bloopers in Youtube videos to having post-publishing pizza parties, there was truly never a boring moment in this class. With graduation coming soon, it saddens me to think that this will be my very last article for the Patriot Press. Even though it is breaking my heart to say goodbye to this class, I know this is only the end of a new beginning. This is Editor-in-Chief Keely Crane, signing out.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Haunting words from the past: ‘We came so close ... so very close’ The destruction of WWII never marred America’s mainland; those ravages were for other countries. But after the war, America became the magnet that attracted the world’s displaced masses. In the early 1960s, my family lived in one of Chicago’s multi-ethnic neighborhoods. We witnessed the “great melting pot” first-hand. Mr. Berlenie was on one side, Mr. Kuzmer was on the corner and across the street were Mr. Kavitch and Mr. Weintz. Their sons, John, Richie, Russell and Pete became my friends; we grew up together. My father, who lost a brother in WWII, refused to accept them. He was suspicious of all immigrants … especially those whom he had fought against. Mr. Berlenie was originally a Mussolini supporter, but changed sides and fought with the allies by war’s end. Mr. Kuzmer was a Luftwaffe mechanic who worked on German jet engines and Mr. Weintz was a dentist. All had accents and
spoke their native tongues amongst their families; all became American citizens. On Friday nights, many of the neighborhood men gathered in Mr. Kuzmer’s basement and played cards. We kids watched the game through a cut-out window in an adjacent room that served as a kitchen/bar. Being kids, we also watched for an opportunity to sneak a beer or cigarette. Everyone always had a good time. On one occasion, after the game was over, only Mr. Kuzmer, Mr. Berlenie and Mr. Wentz remained. They continued to drink and began to reminisce about WWII. John, Pete and I sat on the floor behind the bar passing a beer amongst us. We were easily forgotten. The men spoke about how their leaders united their countries and rekindled national aspirations. They spoke of grievances addressed and justified actions taken in the name of country. And finally, they became solemn and spoke about
national destinies unfulfilled. We remained hidden and listened. The last words softly spoken by Mr. Kuzmer, and in murmured agreement from the others, were, “We came so close … so very close.” After a long pause, they finished their drinks and quietly climbed the stairs. Their words chilled me … John and Pete as well. We were puzzled and troubled, not knowing what to say. Eventually our silence was relieved by nervous laughter … laughter about drunken fathers and their crazy stories. But, in the end, we agreed to never speak of it again, and we never did. Many years later, I tried to sort it out. Mr. Kuzmer, Mr. Weintz and Mr. Berlenie believed in their charismatic leaders’ promises and simple solutions at a moment of vulnerability, the aftermath of WWI. They were encouraged to think of themselves as victims betrayed by past leaders … “the stab in the back.” The relentless propaganda had its
effect, and they became followers of would-be dictators. Contented that trains ran on time, minorities were no longer competing for jobs, and national prestige was reclaimed, they exchanged the best in themselves for the worst. After the war, with nations in ruins and all the war’s horrors revealed, these men still clung to the lies told them. They were not war criminals, but they used those lies to mask their own complicity and to propagate glorified falsehoods that justified their loyalty and behavior. In truth, it was probably the only way they could live with what they had done or failed to do. They lied to themselves, and I pitied them for it. Even so, their words so fervently whispered then, “We came so close … so very close.” still echo in my mind and haunt my dreams. DON BACHMANN Marshall
Data centers threaten landscape, historic preservation of local communities Four hundred twenty-three units of the National Park System grace our nation, from vast wildernesses like the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, to historic spots like Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Only a fraction of counties in the nation are fortunate enough to have a site of national significance in their backyard — and Prince William County is one of them. It has not only one, but two notable NPS units within its boundaries: Prince William Forest Park and Manassas National Battlefield Park. Unfortunately, these parks — historic, open spaces that welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors each year — are situated in a rapidly developing region and therefore, face a very real danger. The latest development craze appears to be massive data centers. Recently, despite public opposition, the land-use of an area just inside the congressionally authorized boundary of Prince William Forest Park was changed to allow the possible construction of a future data center. Now, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors is poised to consider a data center proposal between Manassas National Battlefield Park and Conway Robinson State Forest on a pristine rural landscape that witnessed some of the heaviest fighting during the 1862 Battle of Second Manassas. Both of Prince William County’s NPS sites speak to trying times in our nation’s past. The battlefield land represents not only a period of heart-wrenching combat, but also a decisive moment during the Civil War. The battle there in late July 1862 ultimately led to the Maryland Campaign, which culminated at the Battle of Antietam, still the bloodiest day in American history. Manassas National Battlefield Park, remembering both this battle and the first major
land battle of the war, the Battle of First Manassas or Bull Run, was established in 1940. Meanwhile, Prince William Forest Park grew out of the Great Depression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration established back-to-work programs designed to create new infrastructure projects — among them Recreation Demonstration Areas, to provide outdoor experiences for urban children. In Prince William County, 15,000 acres of pristine farmland were identified and became the Chopawamsic RDA, which opened to some 2,000 young campers from Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1936. During World War II, the park land was leased to the War Department as a training base for American covert operations. After the war, the site returned to its youth-oriented, recreational roots and picked up its permanent name in 1948. Today, when social distancing requirements have made accessible outdoor experiences especially important, we should applaud the foresight of that earlier generation in preserving natural and historic landscapes that we may now enjoy. But what are we leaving for our own grandchildren to one day enjoy and explore? So many once-pristine areas of Northern Virginia have been lost to development that we must now strategically examine the new proposals that come before us for consideration. For decades, the county’s “rural crescent” has protected much of the remaining, fragile open space in Prince William County, including the Occoquan Reservoir watershed, with a corridor of restricted development stretching the length of the county and connecting the two national parks. Prince William County already allows for high-density development, like the data centers
recently proposed, in various areas as by-right uses under current zoning. So, why the urgency to further develop some of the last pieces of unaltered open space in the county? The very act of designating land as eligible for further development increases its value, and so developers would rather seek an agreement to develop open space land and then seek a rezoning from the county. The prospect of undermining the county’s comprehensive plan with piecemeal and unnecessary rezoning, especially when more appropriate and less historically sensitive properties are available, is problematic on many levels. Once these lands are developed, they are lost forever. That is why the Prince Williams Conservation Alliance was joined by a broad coalition of groups that include the American Battlefield Trust, the Piedmont Environmental Council and the National Parks Conservation Association in the preparation of this piece expressing concerns about these data centers. In order to respect the land that holds our American story and keeps us connected to the great outdoors, the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors should not move forward with changes that would allow intense and incompatible development adjacent to its two national parks. The authors are members of the following organizations and are writing on their behalf: Kim Hosen, the Prince William Conservation Alliance; Max Hokit, the American Battlefield Trust; Dan Holmes, the Piedmont Environmental Council; Pam Goddard, National Parks Conservation Association; and Nancy Vehrs, Virginia Native Plant Society.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Jennifer Carroll Foy is the right choice for governor of Virginia As a lifelong Virginian, I believe that Virginia is truly a leader in our country. However, I have also seen how politicians have failed their constituents when they prioritize special interest groups and lose focus on the struggles of Virginians. This is why I support Jennifer Carroll Foy, who will advocate for Virginians and move us toward a brighter future as governor. Carroll Foy understands our concerns because she’s lived them herself. Her experiences growing up in Petersburg, and as a graduate of VMI, public defender and mother help her to know what Virgin-
ians need. As a delegate, she proved her ability to lead by advancing the Equal Rights Amendment and supporting pro-labor legislation. As governor, she will raise teacher pay, expand broadband access and support small businesses. Carroll Foy will lift all Virginians and support communities that are often underrepresented. Unlike other candidates, she does not accept donations from special interest groups. With a plan to ban political contributions from corporations, her administration will serve the needs of everyday Virginians. It’s time to leave behind the politics of the past:
supporting policies that fail to improve the lives of Virginians or only voting against the opposing party. Instead, it’s time to embrace a new ideal and nominate a candidate who is passionate about advocating for her constituents and has proved her ability to lead and implement change. We need a capable, empathetic leader who isn’t afraid to chart a new path and fight for the security and happiness of every Virginian. KATHERINE JOHNSTON Marshall
Georgia man indicted in 2008 homicide of Buddhist monk GRAND JURY, from page 1
his ordained name, Mogu. Park was found dead in his Free State residence – the home also served as a Buddhist temple – apparently several days after his death in June 2008. According to two witnesses who testified at a preliminary hearing last month, Jung had known Park for at least several years, acting for a time as the director of the temple’s legal entity on Park’s behalf and helping with the temple’s finances. Although Jung was interviewed by investigators in 2008 and 2010, prosecutors have not said publicly why Jung was not charged until last year. At the preliminary hearing, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent testified Jung admitted to spending the night with Park in June 2008, getting drunk enough to black out, and finding Park’s dead body the next morning. “When he woke up the next morning, he walked into Mogu’s bedroom and he saw Mogu’s dead body on the floor,” Special Agent Mitch Song testified Jung told him during a 2010 interview. “ … He stood over the dead body. … [Jung] said he went outside to have a cigarette. He said he came back into the room. Then he left.” Jung’s attorney has argued in two court hearings that the case has not changed since 2010, when Jung allegedly told the FBI he had been at Park’s residence at the time of the death. “The case hasn’t changed since 2010. I would ask the court throw the case out,” attorney Blake Woloson argued at the preliminary hearing. Jung will next appear in court June 10. Park’s death is one of eight unsolved homicides in Fauquier County, some of which date back to the 1980s.

Highland got goals from Lainey Mulkerin, Amanda Dale, Olivia Simmons and Soleil Harris to defeat Covenant 4-1 in Saturday’s VISAA Division II girls soccer state championship in Glen Allen. Coach Reynolds Oare’s amazingly young team featured 10 freshmen and just one senior.
SAY HI TO ANOTHER HIGHLAND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Simmons-led Hawks’ girls soccer team routs Covenant 4-1 to win third straight title By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Did Highland have the best girls soccer team in VISAA Division II heading into Saturday’s state final against Covenant? Yes, coach Reynolds Oare believed, but he didn’t want to tell his girls that. “I never said it to the girls, but it was win or bust. We were the best team. If we didn’t win the title it would be very upsetting,” said Oare. “It would have been a big-time upset if we’d gotten beat.” There was never a question of that as the top-seeded Hawks (14-2-1) scored 30 seconds
into Saturday’s championship game in Glen Allen and rolled from there, overwhelming No. 2 seed Covenant 4-1 to secure the sixth title in program history. Highland has now won three state girls soccer titles in a row, and six total, recording wins in 2019 and 2018 to go with titles in 2016, 2007 and 2006. “This was a high octane team for sure,” said Oare, noting the star qualities of senior Olivia Simmons, a Purdue University recruit who finished with 27 goals and 21 assists, and junior Lainey Mulkerin, who had 25 goals and 11 assists.

Near-goals haunt Falcons in 2-0 boys soccer loss to Kettle Run Canterbury drills game-winner in 56th minute By Billy Marin
Special to the Times
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL
Ryan Fiel (right) and the Cougars (5-3) ended a three-game losing streak by edging Fauquier 2-0. After facing James Wood Tuesday, they close at Liberty Friday.
Soccer can lead to some cruel outcomes, as Fauquier learned Friday night at Kettle Run. In a game that looked even to the naked eye, the Cougars’ boys beat their local rivals 2-0, breaking free from a scoreless game with two second-half strikes, including the game-winner by Ethan Canterbury off a volley in the 56th minute and another by Garrett Ritter soon after. Fauquier hit the post and failed in a one-on-one with the Kettle Run goalie, while Kettle Run also missed several good opportunities. The end result was that the Cougars were more clinical. “At halftime we said to ourselves, ‘Alright, we’re still in this,’ and we took that opportunity to take control
of the game. When you have a group like we’ve got, where the players can figure out what changes to make themselves, that makes it easy for me,” Kettle Run coach Phil Roper said. Kettle Run improved to 5-3 and closes the regular season with James Wood on Tuesday and Liberty Friday in a rematch of a game the Eagles won 2-0 on May 12. Fauquier fell to 1-5-2, with Sherando Tuesday and Culpeper Friday. “We created enough chances to get something from the game. It just didn’t happen, we couldn’t find the back of the net,” said Falcon coach Chase Davenport. Canterbury’s goal rescued the Cougars on a night when potential goals were left unconverted.

GIRLS LACROSSE REPORT
Kettle Run edges Liberty 13-12 to take over second place By Fred Hodge
Region B standings
Special to the Times
George Mason Kettle Run Culpeper Eastern View Liberty James Monroe Brentsville Fauquier
As the Region B girls lacrosse schedule heads into the stretch run, the county’s three teams seemingly fall into separate categories. Kettle Run finds itself in second place in the current standings after absorbing its first regional loss, 1410, at James Monroe. Kettle Run, 4-1 in region play and 5-2 overall, is hot on the heels of 4-0 George Mason, but Culpeper and Eastern View are breathing down the Cougars necks at 4-2. “I’m proud of the way the girls have worked this season,” said Kettle Run coach Dana Newton. “We still have some tough games remaining, but I’m looking forward to seeing them rise to the occasion.” Kettle Run rallied from a late twogoal deficit in a recent back-and-forth contest with Liberty for a narrow 1312 decision. The Cougars tallied two goals in the final three minutes, with the game-winning score coming with 73 seconds to play. “Our team stuck with the game plan, overcame some adversity in the first half and started to control the ball better in the second half,” Newton said. “We never gave up.” Morgan Mahoney was the high scorer, with Aubrey Kearns, Carleigh Wood, Kaitlyn Jones, Jordan White and Maria Gaytan also joining the scoring parade. The Cougars then pounced on the extremely youthful Fauquier Falcons in a 17-3 win, as nine players reached the scoring column.
This time, Liberty was the team with the better second half against Eastern View. The Cyclones took a comfortable 8-4 into halftime only to witness an 8-2 second-half run by the Eagles, who pulled out a 12-10 victory. Coach Lacey also was excited to see two players record a pair of statistical breakthroughs. Senior goalkeeper Emily Markley moved past the 200 save mark for her career with 10 stops. At the other end of the field, fellow senior Gretchen Thomas continued her season-long scoring tear and surpassed the 100-goal milestone with her six scores. Liberty posted a 17-7 non-league home win Monday for a successful Senior Night. Thomas (six goals), Keller (five) and Alaina Marek (three) top the victors’ scoring list. Keller and Alex Palizzi handed out three assists each.

Two Eagles reach milestones
Liberty coach Amy Lacey was disappointed with the narrow Kettle Run loss, as the Eagles could not hold onto several leads. Liberty stands at 3-3 in region play, 5-4 overall. “We were up 6-4 at the half,” Lacey began, noting Kettle Run needed less than two minutes to tie after in-

Keller both scored four goals for Liberty. Despite that loss, Lacey had two reasons to celebrate the next game.
Perhaps no team in the county this year has had to endure a baptism by fire like the Fauquier girls squad. Coach Ken McInnis has only two players with prior varsity experience, and the 2020 season cancellation means almost no junior varsity experience either. “More than half of my team won’t be eligible for a driver’s license for two years. Throwing 14-year-olds into a varsity contest is the very definition of baptism by fire,” McInnis said, as the 0-7 team strives to gain confidence, skills and game awareness. See LACROSSE, page 27
Fauquier’s Davenport: ‘We couldn’t find the back of the net’ BOYS SOCCER, from page 25 “We were moving the ball really well in the second half. We have great team chemistry, on and off the field, and that allowed us to score our goals,” Canterbury said. The Kettle Run front line of Garrett Ritter, J.T. Brumagim, and Josh Umanzor, and attacking midfielder Canterbury combined with one-two passes to get around the defense, and then using blistering pace to create shooting opportunities. Umanzor had two shots from inside the box in the first ten minutes. But neither materialized, and the first half remained wide open. Kettle Run pressed high and on numerous occasions won the ball in the final third. Fauquier struggled early to build the ball from the back, and the Cougars’ swarming was effective
at creating chances high up the field. Even as Kettle Run looked the smoother in possession, Fauquier had the better goal-scoring opportunities in the first half. Senior forward Tony Cortes saw the first chance in the 14th minute, but a great save from Kettle Run goalie Luca Jontz denied him. The rebound to Andy Calderon was skied over. In the 28th minute, Nate Hensley found Cortes behind the defense with a lobbed through ball, but Cortes’ shot hit the crossbar and skimmed out of play. “Tony Cortes did a really good job making runs behind the center backs and letting Connor (Mollberg) and Nate pick him out. Most days he’d finish one of those, but it just wasn’t falling today,” Davenport said. In the 56th minute, Kettle Run won possession off a scuffed Fau-
quier punt, prompting Canterbury to work the ball out wide to Umanzor. Umanzor beat his man and whipped the ball into the box, where Canterbury confidently stroked the first time volley into the net. Immediately following, Fauquier gave up possession in the middle of the field, prompting Ritter to beat two men with a cut inside before outrunning the Fauquier center back and finishing with the outside of his right foot into the far right corner in the 59th minute. In the space of three minutes, Fauquier’s tight defensive effort collapsed in the time it would have taken to take a quick visit to the concession stand. With ten minutes left, Fauquier mounted a desperate effort to get back into the game. In the 78th minute, Fauquier for-
ward Andrew Wilvert intercepted a pass from Kettle Run goalie Luka Jonz, and nearly scored. From outside of the box as he fell over, Wilvert poked it back with the ball hitting the inside of the post and rolling back across the goal before being desperately cleared by a Kettle Run defender. “We did a great job keeping up the morale and to keep fighting till the very end. We had the attitude that if we keep creating chances eventually one of them will go in. It just happened that tonight none of them did,” said Falcon senior captain Conner Mollberg. In the 79th minute, Fauquier created another opening with a long throw-in falling to the feet of Cortes just outside of the six-yard box, but Jontz of Kettle Run fell on it before Cortes could set his feet.

‘High octane’ Hawks win 6th state title
with six freshmen starters, one 8th grader STATE CHAMPS, from page 25 “The duo of Simmons and Mulkerin were a very dangerous tandem. And there were a lot of other quality players around them. Simmons is an awesome player, awesome girl, awesome leader,” said Oare. Highland came into the game on an absolute roll after burying North Cross 6-0 in Friday’s semifinal and eliminating Veritas 5-0 in the quarterfinals on May 18. Highland, which routed Covenant 6-0 two weeks before the state final, immediately raced in front Saturday. Covenant sent the opening kickoff downfield, but Highland played it forward with freshman Amanda Dale creating an opening for Mulkerin to score a lightning fast goal less than a minute into the game. “She just got behind the defense. That was huge,” said Oare. Simmons’ spectacular skills set up the Hawks’ second goal about 15 minutes in. The attacking midfielder took a ball and beat the Covenant defense up the left side and slotted a pass across the goal mouth, which Amanda Dale hammered home. “Olivia did everything but score. She’s made a lot of great plays like that all year,” said Oare. Up 2-0 at halftime, the Hawks scored twice more in the second half to celebrate a dominating win. Freshman Soleil Harris split two defenders, played the ball into the box to freshman forward Ainsley Colgan, who sent it over to Simmons to make it 3-0. “She hit it one time, it was a laser beam by Olivia,” said Oare. Highland’s final goal was set up by freshman Ashley Herzog’s corner kick, which Harris volleyed home. Although it was the sixth state title by the Highland girls soccer program, and third in a row, only two Highland players had been part of the Hawks’ last previous tile in 2019: team captain Alexis Conlin and Isabella Ormiston. “That’s what made it so special. Ninety-nine percent had never done
Fauquier has only one senior, but her presence revents the Falcons from playing a more equitable JV schedule. “There has been frustration at all levels,” said McInnis. “What it boils down to, when you’re on varsity you are expected to know how to play the game, and you’ve probably had experience at the JV level or some other avenue. “I still get that ‘Are you really going to put me in?’ look in some of their eyes when their name’s called to take the field.” McInnis said concepts are starting to sink in, but the overall techniques still are not up to the standard varsity level. He stressed the growth

Although she played just one full season at Highland due to club duties and the pandemic, Purdue-bound senior Olivia Simmons will go down as one of the school’s greats. it,” said Oare, whose squad carried 10 freshmen and an eighth grader. Although she’s been at Highland four years, Simmons is a star club player in her first full season for Highland after 2020 was canceled by the pandemic after two games. “She’s always humble, had a blast with the girls, and worked tirelessly to help the team be successful. She’s been awesome,” said Oare. Named co-Delaney Athletic Conference Player of the Year, Simmons was the only senior on the 18-member roster. The fresh-faced starting group also included one eighth grader, six freshmen, two juniors and one sophomore. Other all-DAC first team picks were Mulkerin, Harris, Herzog, freshman Madeleine Siebel and sophomore Chloe Killinger. Although COVID problems hit Highland in the winter, Oare said no Highland program had a positive COVID test this spring. “We were tested twice a week and wore masks until early May (when the state officials loosened restrictions),” said Oare, who is Highland’s middle school athletic director.

in skills will require dedication and more time once the season ends. “Lacrosse is not just a seasonal sport. Picking up the stick the day before tryouts doesn’t help anyone,” McInnis stressed, saying the players need to play on travel or other teams and do individual work at other times. “Next year, without a doubt, should be better. It will depend on how badly the girls want it,” he continued, noting he sees flashes of the future. “We’ve started out pretty good in a couple of games, and I saw vast improvement in the first five to 10 minutes,” the coach stated “Then the other teams start scoring and confidence is shaken.They just need experience.”

The baseball gods don’t shine on Hawks Leading most of game, Highland falls in state final, 7-6 By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Highland wanted to be the team dogpiling in celebration at the pitcher’s mound Saturday. Instead, the top-seeded Hawks were frustrated in their bid to win their first VISAA Division II baseball title, losing to traditional power and No. 2 seed Greenbrier Christian 7-6 in the championship game at Shepherd Stadium in Colonial Heights. Coming in with an arsenal of NCAA Division I-bound players, the Hawks played like the top dog all year, and seemed poised to win with George Washington University-bound ace Ed Wagner on the mound. While not in complete control, the 6-foot-6 Wagner produced a gritty effort, going five innings and allowing four earned runs with five strikeouts, and leaving with his team ahead 5-4. “Ed Wagner was a program changer in his three years for us. I’d give him the ball again. It played like we wanted it. He did not have his best stuff, but he competed. That’s what Ed does,” said Highland coach Micah Higgins. The Hawks scored in five of the seven innings and led 2-0, 3-0, 4-3, 5-3 and 5-4, but could never break it wide open. Greenbrier won it with three runs in the top of the sixth to lead 7-5. Highland scored once in the bottom of the sixth and had the tying run at second in the bottom of the
seventh, but could not score. “This group is special in so many ways,” said Higgins. “They love each other each and every day. That trumps the game score. Life-long relationships is what we strive for. Highland baseball has never been hotter.” It was Highland’s second straight loss in the title game. In 2019 they eliminated Greenbrier in the semis but lost the final to Miller School. “This was Greenbrier’s 14th state title and they’ve had multiple pro players,” added Higgins. “It feels good to compete with people like that at the top of the heap. We want to stay there.” The game was an engrossing back and forth duel. The Gators, decked out in blue and orange like the University of Florida, got in deep trouble numerous times with multiple errors, but managed to keep it tight despite trailing. Down 2-0, Greenbrier coach Patrick Nichols pulled starting pitcher Bailey Matela quickly in the second inning, and backup James McCrady went the rest of the way, allowing three runs (two earned) in 5⅔ impressive innings. With eight hits, five walks and numerous Gators’ errors, Highland reached base frequently, but made key mistakes that killed potentially big innings. The Hawks had a runner picked off second in the second and hit into a

Despite a frustrating loss in Saturday’s state final, coach Micah Higgins’ talentladen Highland baseball program had its finest season, going 24-6. hard-luck double play to end the third when runner Blake Cuddington was called out on a popup slide into second resulting in an automatic out at first. But perhaps the biggest regret was not scoring in the fifth when Highland, nursing a 5-4 lead, loaded the bases with no out, but scored no runs when John Noah Lukonis was thrown out at the plate on a fairly deep flyout to right field after leaving late. “Some things did not go our way. It’s not easy. That’s baseball, man. We love the sport,” said Higgins. Greenbrier responded with a huge bases-loaded double by Joey Allen to the base of the left-center field fence in the top of the sixth to clear the bases for a 7-5 Gators’ lead. That hit came off Cuddington, but the loss went to Jackson Gimbel, who walked three batters to open the sixth. Greenbrier also had a three-run home run from Ethan Ott to tie the
game at 3-3 in the top of the third. “They got six runs on two swings,” lamented Higgins about the Gators’ two huge hits. Highland’s hitting star was Cuddington, who had a two-run single in the first and RBI single in the third, long double in the seventh, and finished 3-for-3 with a walk and hit by pitch. “Cuddington was clutch all week. That’s him all year. He was the best in the big moments,” said Higgins. Griffin Carroll had an RBI single in the second. Nate Dulevitz tripled to right-center in the sixth and scored on Connor McAuley’s RBI groundout to make it 7-6. Despite the disappointment, the Hawks finished 24-6 and returns another loaded squad next spring. “In the grand scheme, we’re so fortunate and blessed to be able to play 30 baseball games this year,” said Huggins.
Winebarger silences Kettle Run as Falcons get revenge, 3-2 By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Kettle Run and Fauquier have both made the Class 4 state baseball tournament within the last five years, and make regular visits to regionals. With both programs in the thick of the Northwestern District race, postseason thoughts of glory are not unrealistic this season, especially in a crazy, late-starting, COVID-affected year. Both Fauquier and Kettle Run have solid pitching, strong position players and are under sound
management with Falcon coach Matt O’Saben and Cougar coach Ty Thorpe. “I think we’re both getting quality pitching. It comes down which team can put together enough offense to put together a win. Pitchers are ahead of hitters all year. In the post-COVID situations the hitters are behind,” said Fauquier’s O’Saben. Entering the final week of the regular season, both are 5-3 and tied for third in the Northwestern District. The district tournament runs June 1 and June 3. Due to the format it’s possible both local teams could make it to the regionals again,

He commanded the strike zone in and out and up and down. He kept them off balance,” said O’Saben. Starter Harrison Yergey, a junior righthander, was also impressive for the Cougars, striking out seven Cougars in his six innings, before giving way to Zac Gimon, who struck out the side in the seventh.

It’s not if, but when Falcons will explode Fauquier softball improves to 10-0 with 17-1 win over Kettle Run By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Tick, tick, tick, tick. Older television crime dramas often featured story lines involving time bombs wired to analog clocks that built tension. Unlike digital clocks, when the explosion would take place was not always evident. Still, it was a matter of when, like the Fauquier High softball team. The latest example came Friday at Kettle Run in a battle of the Northwestern District’s top two clubs. The score stood at 1-1 entering the top of the third inning when the Falcon bomb exploded. Fauquier scored six times to fuel a 16-run outburst over three innings in a 17-1 five-inning win to move to 8-0 in Northwestern District play and 10-0 overall. Kettle Run fell to 6-2 in the standings. Fauquier coach Erika Lamper said her players constantly advise each other on what they see at the plate. “They do a good job of adapting quickly...adjusting on the fly,” said Lamper. “We have teams throwing every pitcher they have at us even if it’s a five-inning game.” The Falcons amassed 18 hits in the latest victory. Mikayla Gilmore recorded four singles and drove in four runs, while Payton Swart and Meredith Wayland both had three hits. Helena Lovell, Meghan HarBASEBALL, from page 28 Fauquier tied it at 1-1 in the third on Ethan Hall’s single to right to score John Bynaker, who walked with two outs and reached second on a wild pitch.

Kettle Run built an early lead at Sherando only to see the Warriors score three times in the bottom of the sixth and twice in the seventh to send the game into extra innings. Boldt then blasted her second homer of the game in the top of the eighth inning for a 6-5 win.

96th running of the Virginia Gold Cup closes out spring steeplechase season By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
The Virginia Gold Cup races ditched the traditional first Saturday in May this year for the last; organizers were banking on the fact that pandemic constraints would continue to loosen as the summer approached. And the thousands of spectators expected to attend the sold out May 29 event are grateful. Gold Cup is one of the first steeplechase meets, worldwide, to be able to allow spectators in more than 14 months. Tailgate spaces will once again encircle the Great Meadow racecourse near The Plains for the 96th running of the event established in 1922. Post time is 12:30 p.m. for the first of nine races. The four-mile, $50,000 Virginia Gold Cup headliner anchors the day as fifth on the card. The feature attracted 10 – all at level weights of 165. There’s no parimutuel wagering at Gold Cup this spring, but the honorary nod as morning line favorite goes to the formful Mystic Strike. The Pennsylvania shipper won his last two timber starts – the May 1 Middleburg Hunt Cup and the May 15 Radnor Hunt Cup. Trainer Todd McKenna said the Florida-bred son of Smart Strike has proven himself over the Gold Cup’s four-mile distance, winning the four-mile Pennsylvania Hunt Cup in 2019 and 2020. He was a dull sixth in the 2019 Virginia Gold Cup, his only time over the Great Meadow timber, but McKenna said he thinks Mystic Strike has found his stride this season. Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic won the 2019 International Gold Cup, 3 ½ miles over the same course. He fell in the April 10 My Lady’s Manor stake, but was close-up second to Renegade River in the Willowdale Cup earlier this month. Current leading trainer, and recent Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Jack Fisher trains Schoodic for his mother. Middleburg’s Kinross Farm sends out Great Road, recent maiden winner at Willowdale. The

He was fourth in the Semmes last spring. Highweight at 158, Irv Naylor’s Bedrock, carries 10 to 16 pounds more than his rivals. A $260,000 yearling purchase in England, Bedrock won at Newbury as a 2-year-old then was sent over hurdles at 4. He won impressively at Warwick and Bangor, then twice in Ireland at 5. Bedrock was imported to the U.S. in time for 2019 summer racing at the major tracks, but he failed to impress: he was sixth in the grade 1 Smithwick in August and eased in the grade 1 Lonesome Glory a month later at Belmont Park. Rounding out the field are stablemate Chief Justice, Jackie Ohrstrom’s Arch My Boy, Galway Kid, Brianbakescookies and Anticipating. Cross-country ’chase specialist Invocation has won four of the last five steeplethons run on the circuit, including at both Great Meadow meets last year.

Leading apprentice rider Skylar McKenna, right, has the call on Royal Ruse in the four-mile Gold Cup stake. 15, but the trainer hopes the near-black gelding will return to form over the varied course he’s proved he relishes on Saturday.

OBITUARIES DR. JEROME “JERRY” DOVBERG It is with profound sadness that The Dovberg Family announces the passing of Dr. Jerome L. Dovberg on April 12, 2021. He was our beloved Husband, Father, Zaydie, Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin and Friend. “Jerry” was born in 1945, to the late Nessie and Maurice Dovberg, in Philadelphia, PA. He grew up as the only brother of four younger sisters. He and his wife Sandi (née Lassoff), had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in December 2020. Jerry graduated from Lincoln High School, Temple University, and The Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, all in Philadelphia. After completing Medical School, the Army commissioned him to be the Chief of the Podiatry Clinic at The Pentagon, and later, at Dewitt Army Hospital, in Fort Belvoir, VA. While there, he assisted in surgical procedures from all specialties. One evening, while on duty in the ER, he heard a woman screaming from the bathroom. Upon investigation, he found a young woman in labor. Right there, that night, he delivered a baby boy. Jerry and Sandi settled in Northern Virginia after his military service had ended, choosing to live in Montclair with their three children. He went into private practice, under the name Potomac Podiatry Associates, Ltd. / Dovberg Foot Health Centers. Dr. Dovberg successfully ran three offices, the first two located in Alexandria and Woodbridge, and the third in The Liberty Village building, in Dumfries. Dr. Dovberg wrote news columns in the Potomac News, called Dr. D’s “Foot” Notes, and in the runners magazine, TrackMaster, answering readers’ questions. He volunteered his time in sports clubs, and sponsored local basketball, football, and soccer teams, as well as many local schools in the area. As a Diplomat and a Board Certified Surgeon, his techniques in the operating room were innovative. His sports medicine strappings of athletes’ feet enabled them to proceed with play, or run marathons, even while they were injured. A devoted doctor for over 45 years, he often saw previous patients return with their own children, and grandchildren. Having a great sense of humor, he was always joking with his patients. One long time patient shared, “An appointment with Dr. D., was like visiting a friend, laughing, and having a good time, while receiving excellent care.” A highlight in Jerry’s life was vacationing with his family. His favorite was their annual trip to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten. His love of Smooth Jazz was another way to bring his family together on jazz cruises, all over the world, and to live concerts & festivals, nationwide. Although Jerry was never professionally trained, he played the “piano by ear.” He was also a talented artist. His works included detailed pencil drawings, and pen and ink illustrations. Jerry took pride in driving his exotic car, The Excalibur. He delighted in participating in many car shows, throughout the country, as well as school functions with his children. He was often found driving in parades, waving and smiling to crowds of people, sometimes even while driving with elected officials. Jerry and Sandi attended many United States Presidential Inaugural Balls and many fundraisers. One black-tie gala that stands out was “Jazzmatazz”, benefiting Children’s National Medical Center. At this event, Jerry was chosen from the audience, and brought to the stage, to sing with “The Persuasions”. As the song ended, he sang his final note on a bent knee - arms spread wide - to a standing ovation. To quote The Washington Post, “He was smooth, he was sweaty , and he was having the time of his life.” He was a proud member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity and he was also a FreeMason. Jerry is survived by his wife, Sandi Dovberg; daughter, Mindi Dovberg; sons, Michael Dovberg (Dana), and Jeff Dovberg; granddaughters, Maya and Mila; grandsons, Mazen and Mylo; his sisters, Sandy Brown, Sherie Hershman (Mark), Debbie Molotsky (Dwight), and Deena Ginsberg (Gary). Over his 75 years on this Earth, Jerry’s magnetic, “larger than life” personality was felt by everyone who met him. From adorable little boy to affectionate grandfather, the love and pride he felt for his entire family was powerful. Equally, they loved, admired, and adored him. He will be deeply missed. Contributions may be made to a charity of your choice in loving memory of: Dr. Jerome L. Dovberg

Larry Graham Hackley Larry Graham Hackley, 72, noted for his passion for art and Contemporary American Folk Art (Kentucky Folk Art, in particular), died suddenly in Warrenton VA, May 14, 2021, while vacationing with family in the area. Born in Warrenton on November 9, 1948, Larry was raised in Amissville VA in the home where his father was born, once commenting that he felt he had grown up “in a Norman Rockwell painting”. Larry lived most of his life in Kentucky, residing in Berea, KY at the time of his death. Predeceased by his father E. Graham Hackley, Larry is survived by his devoted mother Dorothy Z. Hackley, his sister Janet (Jan) H. Makela (husband Ronald W. Makela), his nephew Joshua Bryan Hackley Makela (wife Sophia Coleman), aunts JoAnne Z. Tilley, Nancy Z. Nicholas, Betty G. Zinn, and countless cousins and friends. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and University of Kentucky, Larry embraced a lifelong love of art. His curious mind led him to immerse himself in every new interest, reading and researching in depth. Larry was an art teacher in the public schools of Eastern Kentucky, owner of Hackley Gallery in Winchester, KY, moving the gallery to Berea, KY for a number of years. He had a keen eye for Folk Art, collecting art and curating many museum and gallery shows through the years. Larry became interested in Contemporary American Folk Art while living in KY, and became renowned for his expertise in that field, authoring and collaborating on multiple books related to southern pottery, quilts, Kentucky Folk Art, carved canes, and more. As a child, Larry was intrigued by old crocks used to preserve foods, Victorian hair wreaths, and other historic items in the home of his Grandmother Hackley. His Grandmother Zinn introduced him to baking, gardening, canning and more. He studied bugs, dissected frogs, collected rocks, raised exotic chickens and fish, and experimented with edible plants, all before becoming an adult and venturing off to make his way in his chosen profession. Fiercely independent, creative and talented, he will be missed by all who knew him as a kind, generous man with an easy-going spirit, who loved his family and friends, and all things interesting and beautiful. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to the Hackley Family Scholarship Fund, c/o HEADWATERS- Public Education Foundation, P.O. Box 368, Washington VA 22747. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.

OBITUARIES Arthur Landon (Al) Gore
Barbara Alice Linthicum
Al Gore, born September 30, 1918 in Flint Hill, VA passed away peacefully on the morning of May 14, 2021. Mr. Gore is survived by four sons- Landon W. Gore (Georgette), Robert L. Gore (Ruth), Richard A. Gore (Pat), and Gary D. Gore (Patty) as well as 10 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and several great-great grandchildren. His 55-year marriage to Margaret Anna Gore ended with her passing in 1992. In Mr. Gore’s earlier life, he served as a SeaBee in WWII in the Pacific and served in the invasion of Saipan and Okinawa. He lived in Springfield, VA for many years before moving back to Fauquier County in 1979. Mr. Gore was also a 50-year Mason and Shriner and a lifelong member of the American Legion. Mr. Gore, known throughout the motor sports world as one of the pioneers of the sport, purchased what was then known as the Longview Speedway in 1949. At that time, it was a dirt track, but He quickly converted it to a 3/8-mile asphalt facility, and within a year, hosted the first race on what would then become the famed Old Dominion Speedway, located on the then outskirts of Manassas, VA. Next came the first-ever purpose built 1/8th mile drag strip east of the Mississippi in 1953, which hosted drag racing of all sorts until 2012. Mr. Gore’s other accomplishments in his storied career included owning the Eastside Speedway in Waynesboro, VA from 1958-2021, operating the New London Dragway in Lynchburg, VA from 1990-2005, along with operating the Marlboro Speedway in Upper Marlboro, MD and the Winchester Speedway in Winchester, VA for several years. All in all, Mr. Gore’s career spanned more than 60 years of entertainment ranging from NASCAR Stock Car Racing, various drag racing promotions, power boat racing, professional wrestling, country music festivals, and County Fair Management. Mr. Gore was also a member of the East Coast Drag Racing Hall-of-Fame, inducted in 2002. The family received friends from 3-9 PM on Tuesday, May 25 at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton where a funeral service will be held on Wednesday, May 26 at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Shriner Hospitals for Children, Attn: Office of Development, 2900 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, FL 33607. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.
Barbara Alice Linthicum, age 80, passed peacefully on Sunday, May 16th, 2021 in Warrenton, VA. She was born in Alexandria, VA on June 8th, 1940 and at her death was the last of five children of the late Cleveland & Cora Mercer. In addition to her parents and siblings, Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Delbert T. Linthicum, son, Lee Linthicum. Barbara is survived by two children, Pam Symington & her husband, David of Naples, FL and Ray Linthicum & his wife, Stephanie of Warrenton, VA; a daughter in law, Vicki Linthicum of Culpeper, VA; seven grandchildren, David Symington II, Jacqueline Symington, Jennifer Linthicum, Tony Linthicum, Stacy Linthicum, Erica Hamilton & Chad Linthicum; and two great grandchildren, Madeline Linthicum & Lev Fortune. Known simply as G, GMA or GG to her grandchildren and great grandchildren, she was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her family meant the world to her and there was nothing she cherished more. Most of her working career was in Bookkeeping where she worked over 20 years at Herby’s Ford in Alexandria. She loved crunching numbers and would never be satisfied until she balanced a book right down to the last penny! She played hard while her health was good, either burning up the road attending a Country Music Concert or heading to Charlestown to play the slots. She always said, “Scared Money Don’t Win”! She was tiny but feisty and never minced words, a true spitfire. If she had something to say she would say it without hesitation. She was quick witted, a great storyteller and sharp as a tack right until she passed. Her words, her wisdom, her stories will be truly missed by all her family and friends. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on July 3rd, 2021 at 10:30 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA., Interment private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Fauquier Rehab. and Nursing, 360 Hospital Drive, Warrenton, VA 20186. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.

Leslie Malcolm Collins Leslie Malcolm Collins, 84 of Warrenton, VA was born January 17, 1937 in Knoxville, TN to Guy M. and Helen J. Collins. The family migrated around the East Coast, coping with war and pre-war conditions for work, finally settling in Monroe, MI in 1944, where he attended school, and developed a lifelong interest in music, performing in combos, dance bands, orchestras, and in the pit for stage musicals. Family conditions influenced him to enlist in the US Navy in 1955, where he was trained in electronics maintenance, rising to Chief Petty Officer (E7) prior to being commissioned as Ensign. After 26 years, he retired as Lieutenant Commander (O-5) having served, among many assignments at sea and ashore, as Commanding Officer, Naval Radio Station, Sugar Grove, WV, and Electronics Officer, U.S.S. Enterprise CVN-65. Upon retirement, Leslie developed a Circus Arts booking company with his then wife, Carol, personally performing as clown, magician, stilt walker, Santa, Father Christmas, and other specialty characters. He was a longtime member of the Piedmont Symphony and the Fauquier Community Band. He is survived by his first wife, Jean Carolyn, the mother of his two children, Lyle Malcolm and his wife Rebecca, and Lisa Marlene, all living in the Richmond, VA area. His longtime companion, Sandra Ludes resides in Warrenton. Online condolences may be expressed at moserfuneralhome.com.

WRITING AN OBITUARY Writing an obituary for a loved one is best approached with care and thought. That certainly doesn’t make it any easier to write one, however, and it can be a daunting process. Let’s face it— most people don’t do it very often. Essential facts such as dates, people, places, names, education, military service, employment history, and hobbies or pastimes can be included. Remember that an obituary is not a eulogy, so it’s best not to be too wordy or too long. Because it can be overwhelming and hard to describe your emotions, simply stick to the facts and let those guide your efforts. Also, keep in mind, it’s a permanent record, so personal and private matters should not be included. In most cases, major or national newspapers only publish the obituaries of famous or prominent people. However, many smaller or local newspapers will be amenable to publishing long-form obituaries. If your town or community has a newspaper, you may want to contact those publications to see what their obituary policies are. To learn more about the services we offer, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We are conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton “Say not in grief ‘he is no more’ but in thankfulness that he was.” - Hebrew Proverb
