Mannino family vows to rebuild after devastating fire By chance alone, Felesha Mannino was home when the fire broke out By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer
Felesha Mannino was not supposed to be home when a fire broke out on her family’s Opal Road farm. She was supposed to take her injured dog, who needed X-rays and possibly surgery, to see Dr. Kent Smith at Willow Animal Hospital. But Smith died unexpectedly the night before, and Mannino was never called to the animal hospital. Instead, she spent the day at Mann-I-No Family Ranch, where there is always something to do — work that Mannino knows is a dwindling privilege in Fauquier County, where farmland is shrinking. Then, one tragedy followed another that afternoon, when the Mannino family barn caught fire — destroying what she called the “heart” of the farm. So, by chance, she was there to

flame coming up over the back corner of the barn. Angelina called 911 while Mannino sprang into action, hooking up three hoses and running inside the barn with a fire extinguisher. But a breeze was sucking the fire along the barn’s roofline. Its plastic skylights began to melt, dripping hot plastic all around her. “I knew I had to get out of there,” she said. By the time she escaped, the whole roof was ablaze. “It (took) six minutes from the phone call to it pretty much being engulfed,” she said. While several area fire departments raced to the farm, the Mannino’s neighbors were the first to arrive. They helped get all their animals — chickens, goats, sheep, pigs and horses — safely out of the burning building and the adjoining barn. Then, volunteer fire companies from Warrenton, Catlett, New Baltimore, Amissville and Little Fork responded to the scene aided by the

Some school boards cut ties with their state organizations in 2021 after the National School Board Association asked the federal government to investigate threats made against school board members around the country. Some state organizations, including the Virginia School Board Association, opted to cut ties with the national group, instead. A conservative-leaning alternative, the School Board Member Alliance of Virginia, has emerged in the past year, and at least five school boards have left the Virginia School Board Association
The Fauquier County School Board has no plans to leave the Virginia School Board Association, even as other school divisions across the state, including nearby Warren County, break ties with the organization over claims that the group doesn’t align with more conservative values.

Fauquier County issues mandatory water restrictions
Staff Report Amid ongoing drought warning for parts of Northern Virginia, the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority issued mandatory outdoor water restrictions for all customers. Under the current restrictions — which went into effect on June 25 — use of sprinklers or other irrigation systems is prohibited for all customers. Washing cars and vehicles is also prohibited except at car wash facilities. Customers are also advised that washing of streets, driveways, parking lots, the exterior of commercial or residential buildings and the use of amenities such as ornamental foundations, waterfalls and reflecting pools is also prohibited — except when necessary to preserve habitat

Customers are also asked to refrain from filling swimming pools that are empty or less than three-quarters full. The restrictions apply throughout
the county and the Fauquier County agency’s service area. In June, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality issued a drought advisory for Fauquier County and much of the rest of the state.
A drought warning indicates that “significant drought is imminent,” according to water authority officials, so local governments and public works departments are advised to implement voluntary and mandatory restrictions. Rainfall deficits, high temperatures and high outdoor water use are all impacting local water supplies, according to the county. The water authority has not announced an estimated date for when the outdoor water restrictions might be lifted. For more information, visit www. fcwsa.org.

Sheriff’s office investigates suspicious items at Linden Monastery Staff Report Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies helped investigate a suspicious package found outside Saint Dominic’s Monastery Sunday. The monastery, home to a community of cloistered Dominican nuns, overlooks the Shenandoah Valley in Linden along the Fauquier-Warren county line. The suspicious package was found outside the front door of the monastery Sunday morning
with “other concerning items” on top of the box, according to a news release from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Due to those circumstances, the Virginia State Police bomb squad was requested, and the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were notified. Upon visual inspection and a series of X-rays of the box and its contents, the bomb squad determined the package was safe. Ultimately, it was found to contain fireworks and other items which
were not specified by the sheriff’s office. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to coordinate with federal law enforcement and is asking anyone who might have information about the origin or delivery of the package to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 540347-3300.

Warrenton launches update of town zoning policies By Meghan Mangrum Deputy Editor
The Warrenton Town Council is expected to initiate what could be a twoyear process to review and update the town’s zoning ordinance at its July 9 meeting. TIMES STAFF PHOTO
Center to add nearly 400 apartments and townhomes and revamp commercial spaces, have been met with scrutiny by some, even though the projects align with goals laid out in the town’s comprehensive plan. The town used American Rescue Plan Act funds to hire Clarion and launched the project last month with a public forum and an initial survey. It is unclear how many people attended the public forum or responded to the survey in the few weeks it was open. Council members are expected to
appoint up to a dozen people to the steering committee, which Green said would “serve a very important role in (the) code process.” The goal of the committee is “to have a group of individuals who represent a broad cross section of the community; who engage throughout the process; and whose job it is to give input representing the community,” he said. Clarion recommends including planners, developers, architects, neighborhood leaders and residents. As of Monday, July 8, Council
Member Paul Mooney and Planning Commissioner Darine Barbour were listed as possible appointments in agenda documents. The Town Council is expected to appoint members of the steering committee during its July 9 meeting. Visit fauquier.com for updates and further coverage.

Changes are coming to Warrenton’s zoning policies. The Town of Warrenton initiated what is expected to be a nearly twoyear process to review and update the town’s zoning ordinance last month. The goal is to ensure the current policy — which was last updated in 2006 — aligns with town goals and its comprehensive plan, Plan Warrenton 2040. Consulting group Clarion Associates will lead the work, which will include public engagement opportunities through meetings and surveys and will be informed by a steering committee. Geoff Green, the project director with Clarion Associates, told council members in June the group already has some potential project goals and recommendations after an initial review of the town’s policies. Some of those recommendations are likely to include streamlining the policy to make it “more precise, more clear and easier for people to understand,” Green said. The plan is also to ensure definitions and regulations are uniform throughout the ordinance. Because much of the town’s future development will be redevelopment, the changes also aim to establish a standard that supports such development while aligning with the town’s vision. Recent projects, such as a proposed redevelopment of Warrenton Village

Teacher-student collaboration helped Liberty grad flourish Tutoring at Remington’s Maddi Mae’s Sound House fueled Liberty senior’s musical success By Aimee O’Grady
What’s next for Julianne Carr?
Contributing Writer
You wouldn’t know Julianne Carr was a shy child watching her lead a rock band on stage during Liberty High School’s graduation at Jiffy Lube Live where she performed hits from 2012 — the year the graduates started kindergarten. But Carr’s journey, which was first inspired by a music-loving family, was helped along by lessons with a Fauquier County music teacher, Maddi Mae Martin. “Julianne shines through her music,” said Martin. “Music helped her to overcome her shyness.” Carr had once been shy to the point of silence. “I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and my closest friends,” she said. The two met through Drum and Strum in Warrenton, but in 2021, Martin opened her Sound House in Remington. Maddi Mae’s Sound House is a music school and songwriting studio where she aims to help young musicians through the songwriting process — and Carr followed her there. “Maddi has gone above and beyond to guide me through my growth as a musician and as a person,” Carr said. “Not only has she been an exceptional teacher, but she has also provided with me so many opportunities, from taking me to her shows so I can see the ins and outs of gigging to helping me form a band.” Martin has been writing songs since she was six years old and began teaching others at age 19. She is a professional songwriter, vocalist and musician with more than a decade of experience writing, recording and performing. She has performed more than 550 shows, both solo and as a member of psychedelic and folk-rock bands. In 2020, she released a six-song record called Quiet Corners that has amassed over 100,000 streams in more than 70 countries on Spotify. Last year, she released a single called “Die Today,” a song intended to help folks hit the emotional or
SUBMITTED
Lessons with her music teacher, Maddi Mae Martin, (left) helped Julianne Carr overcome sometimes crippling shyness — and find her place in the spotlight.
Carr’s musical success carried over into marching band. In December, she qualified and auditioned for the all-district band with the clarinet. She placed as first chair for District 14. From there, she qualified for All-State along with 120 other clarinet players in the state, placed 32nd chair and made it into the state concert band ensemble. She is the only Liberty High School student to ever make it into the All-State band. Carr will attend the Shenandoah University Conservatory in the fall. She will also be apprenticing at Maddi Mae’s Sound House. “I am extremely proud of Julianne’s accomplishment of earning a spot in the All-State band,” said Liberty High Band/ Orchestra Director Patrick Neidich. “What I found to be truly rewarding as director was that many of our band members were genuinely happy for her and excited that she was the first from Liberty to earn the honor to represent the band at the All-State level.”
Maddi Mae’s Sound House will hold a back-to-school fundraiser on July 20 at the Remington Community Garden. Attendees are asked to bring school supplies for the upcoming school year. The fundraiser will feature performances by Niamh Kierans, the Sunstones and White Wall. Follow Sound House on social media for details @soundhouseva.

Songwriting for Martin begins with what she refers to as thought-fishing, which is much like brainstorming. Writing a song can sometimes take years. Martin spent three years working with Carr on a piece that Carr wrote and brought to Sound House. “Skipping Seasons” has over 4,600 streams on Spotify and has been performed by Carr’s band, the Sunstones. It was the first single released from the band’s EP Empty Pock-
ets, and it was produced by Martin at Sound House. As Carr matured through high school, “The song has grown with her,” Martin said. Sunstones is the five-piece, indie rock, high school band that played Liberty’s graduation last month. Its members met one another through Sound House. “Being a part of The Sunstones is an incomparable experience for these young musicians,” Martin said. “It’s difficult to maintain this level of commitment to the music and the band in high school — or at any age, really.”
Martin recently awarded Carr with a “Master Student” award. “I’ve worked with hundreds of students, and this is only the second time I have given this recognition,” she said. “When I present a student with this honor, I want people to know that I guarantee their exceptional skills, knowledge and work ethic as a musician.” Stay up to date with the best stories about Life in the Piedmont by signing up for the Fauquier Times’ daily newsletter, The LIP, online at www.fauquier.com/newsletters.

Fauquier school board has no plans to leave Virginia School Board Association SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1 to join the alliance, the Virginia Mercury reported last month. But Fauquier County “is not entertaining any other option” and remains in good standing with the Virginia School Board Association, board chair Susan Pauling told the Fauquier Times in an email on June 25. Last month, Pauling and board member Clay Campbell met with representatives from the state association, the two mentioned at Monday’s school board meeting. “We are going to take a more active role (in the organization),” Campbell said. “Fauquier is going to be presenting at the annual conference this year.” Pauling also noted that smaller school divisions sometimes felt like they “didn’t have a voice” in the statewide organization. “We talked about where we saw how we fit in their organization, and we felt like the smaller school divisions didn’t always have a voice. ... A lot of time, the larger school divisions seemed to drive policy decisions that didn’t always align with our policies as a board and weren’t realistic
for a smaller school division,” she said. This year, the school board plans to be “more involved in the dialogue” at the state level, she added. In January, the board voted to affirm its commitment to the “VSBA Code of Conduct,” which includes a pledge by board members to “strive to be an advocate for students and to improve public education.” The board votes annually to affirm the code. Also in January, the Fauquier County board reviewed the state group’s priorities ahead of the legislative session. The nonpartisan organization’s focus this year included ensuring local school boards maintain control over their composition, committees and policy authority. The group also supported local school boards maintaining the authority over whether to partner with local law enforcement agencies to staff school resource officers and whether to establish charter school programs. The state group called for increased funding for teacher compensation and overall funding for students and notably opposed collective bargaining or the unionization of teachers and other school employees. But some school boards, especially those with
members who campaigned on parental rights and addressing some parents’ frustrations around teaching “divisive concepts,” library books and pandemic-era policies, have argued the Virginia School Board Association doesn’t meet their needs or align with their conservative values. Nearby Warren County was one of the first school boards to leave the state school board association for the new conservative alternative. Some members of the Shenandoah County School Board — which recently reinstated two schools’ former Confederate names — are also members, according to Virginia Mercury. As of June 12, the new School Board Member Alliance of Virginia represents one-tenth of the state’s school boards members, according to Virginia Mercury. Unlike the Virginia School Board Association, the alliance offers individual memberships. As of July 8, it is unknown whether any of Fauquier County’s five school board members are individual members of the alliance.

Mannino family vows to rebuild after devastating fire FIRE, from page 1 Bridge Community Church Canteen Unit, a Warrenton group that supports firefighters with water, snacks and a trailer equipped with a bathroom. Firefighters initially emptied 4,000 gallons of water from their trucks fighting the blaze, before switching to additional water trucked onto the property as well as water pumped from a nearby pond. Their effort prevented the fire from spreading to other structures, including a long milking barn and another building the Manninos plan to use to sell local goods. They had used the barn that burned as a feeding center and a nursery for lambs. It was also where the family stored equipment from around the farm: horse blankets and feed, medicine, bags of sheared wool, packs of water bottles, 20 new heat lamps and 40 heat bulbs for winter. All of it was lost in the fire. “We just finished fixing it up,” Mannino said. Felesha Mannino’s father, Joeseph Mannino, bought the farm in March 2022, and the family immediately started renovating the old barn. They spent the next two years shoring up old rafters and posts, replacing the roof and the siding and cleaning out decades of animal waste. “We had just cleaned out the barn, and, for the first time, everything was ‘spic and span,’” she said. Her vision is for the property to be a working farm, accessible to the public. “I want them to be able to come in here and see animals, see how everything works, learn how to milk a goat,” said Mannino. Despite the setback, Mannino is optimistic. The farm, which they named “Mann-I-No Family Ranch,” sits on more than 100 acres, much of which is used for grazing 160 sheep and around 60 head of cattle. Mannino just downsized her flock to prevent overgrazing. “The whole goal here is regenerative agriculture, so high density grazing and soil improvement,” she said. The animals graze the rolling meadow pasture that’s not just grass but also a mix of what some might consider weeds — plants like chicory, clover, teasel and mullein. When the Manninos took ownership of the land, much of it was overgrown with burdock and thistles — the former known for its burred seedpods and the latter known for its spiky foliage.

“That first year my sheep were pincushions,” Mannino said. Despite the fire, Felesha Mannino’s many projects are still running. In addition to cleaning up the ashes and rebuilding the barn, she plans to plant fruit and nut trees near the house, and the family hopes to open a farmstand stocked with locally made goods and products from the farm. She plans to name it the “Three Sisters Store,” after her sisters, Bianca, Angelina and herself. In addition to farm chores, homeschooling her daughter and her work as a farrier, Mannino must now push back next year’s lambing to replace everything lost in the fire.
“What else would I be doing if I wasn’t chasing animals around? I don’t know. I’m not the type to be watching TV,” she said when asked if she ever gets overwhelmed. he family has a GoFundMe campaign to help recoup some of their losses. Find it online at www.gofundme.com/f/help-mannino-ranch-recover-from-devastation. As of Monday, July 6, they had raised $3,360.

Trump’s promise ‘not to touch’ Social Security is an empty one As a self-employed person, I paid 12.4% of my income in payroll taxes to fund Social Security. (If you are employed, your employer pays half.) It seemed like a large chunk of my income at the time, but I felt assured that Social Security would fund a good part of my retirement. Now that I am retired, some Republicans want to renege on our agreement. The Social Security Administration expects that the trusts that fund the program will start to run out in 2033 when payroll taxes alone will support only about 75% of benefits. Donald Trump’s assurance “to not touch Social Security” is an empty promise because he advocates for lowering payroll taxes which would lead

to significantly decreased funding. This would be a disaster for the retiree who depends on Social Security. Currently, payroll taxes are capped on income over $168,600. As Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address, “working people who built this country pay more into Social Security than millionaires and billionaires.” Joe Biden wants to strengthen Social Security by ensuring high-income individuals pay their fair share by extending payroll taxes to all earned income over $400,000.

Day tripping … on an airplane?
Top “Out n’ Back” day trip destination recommendations:
Maddie Smith, a Northern Virginia-based social media influencer, coined the term “Out n’ Backs” to describe her one-day trips to destinations that are just a direct flight away from one of the D.C. Metro area’s several airports. Here are some of the destinations she recommends. Fort Lauderdale: Take the first flight out and spend the day chilling on the beach. Smith enjoyed coffee, the beach and dinner before taking a rideshare back to the airport. Boston: Boston is walkable and has many flights to and from Washington’s airports. Go for the day and check out museums and shops. Disney World: Fly early to the Orlando airport and grab a rideshare right to Disney. Choose a park for the day and tackle every ride on your list. Get lunch and dinner at the park and get back for the last flight home. Chicago: Chicago has a lot of flight options and is super accessible to fly to from Washington. Smith recommends taking a boat tour and exploring the city on foot.
Local travel experts suggest short travel by plane, train, car or bike By Isabella Sherk
Contributing Writer
Day tripping has always been a reliable adventure for travelers who want all the fun of a vacation without the money and hassle that goes into an extended trip. It can break up the monotony, but not break the bank, and Northern Virginia offers many options for those looking to explore — even just for a day. But a “short” day trip doesn’t have to stay limited to the DMV metro area. A couple hours on an airplane also can be the backbone of a rewarding day trip, providing a chance to go someplace farther and fun while avoiding hotel costs and spending the night in your own bed. Maddie Smith, a Washington, D.C.-based travel influencer, has coined her day trips “Out n’ Backs.” For most of her “Out n’ Back” travel, it means a trip to one of the many direct flights available at Washington’s airports. She and other travel experts tout day trips on bikes, by car, by train or even by airplane as a stress-relieving getaway, and there are many options for residents of Fauquier County. For flying day trips, Smith takes the earliest flight out Dulles or Reagan National airports, explores a city or destination for a day and flies right back on the last returning flight. She’s been to Nashville, Kansas City, Orlando’s Disney World and even recently Los Angeles for the day. Smith graduated college in 2020 and started blogging about food while working full time. She eventually started her own social media agency but wanted to pivot from producing food content to broader lifestyle topics. “I had this trip planned with my friend to do what ended up being the first “Out n Back” at the time,” Smith said. “It wasn’t really anything other than just like a funny 24-hour trip.” She ended up capturing and posting about that January trip on her account, @onthemovewithmad on Instagram and TikTok, and it drew a good number of views. Smith has since made 16 more short trips. Followers have become inspired by the concept and conducted their own “Out n Backs,” she said. “A lot of people have said that they’ve planned them for their birthdays, or a partner’s anniversa-

Smith typically books her airline tickets four to six weeks before traveling and sets up news alerts for airlines to snag the best prices. She also follows airline Instagram pages to see flash sales. For her first trip to Fort Lauderdale, the flight cost was about $120 round trip. She also saves on luggage. With bag fees mounting, day trips only require a free personal item rather than a checked bag. Smith swears by her Lululemon belt bag in the 2L size. It fits her Kindle, portable chargers, wall charger, keys, wallet, sunglasses and cash. “It makes the process getting in through security and through airports so much more seamless and cheaper,” Smith said. Folks are itching to explore after the pandemic, even if they only have a day, Tim Ebner, a travel writer whose work has appeared in Thrillist and the DCist, said. “People realize that experiences really are more valuable than things, material items,” Ebner said.
“And so, I think people are willing to spend money on experiences over some of these more kind of spendy items that you might purchase at the store.” If train or car day trips are your speed, the D.C. area is a great place to be, he said. Amtrak, the Viginia Railway Express, bike trails or a car are all transport options for a day trip in the area. Ebner advises day trippers to plan a bit in advance of the adventure. Crowds at popular public beaches and trails can hinder you. For example, the popular, Instagram-worthy Old Rag hike in Shenandoah National Park is great but draws so many people that the parks service has started to limit day passes, he said. “Looking for places that are a little bit off the beaten path can help you in terms of making sure you have a day trip that feels relaxing, calm, but also obviously safe, easy to get to and totally stress free,” Ebner said. Instead of Old Rag, Ebner recommends the Little Devils Stairs hike near Sperryville. The hike takes you up the side of a waterfall and brings great views of the Shenandoah region at the top, he said. Day trips are a quick and accessible way to travel, which is good for your health, Eber said. “I think travel just brings a lot of benefits — physical and mental health are definitely huge components of it too,” he said.

Ryman, Rodman are 2024 Fauquier Times Liberty Athletes of the Year
PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD
Andrew Ryman picked up football in record time and turned into an all-state receiver to go with his fine play as a starting point guard in basketball. Mary Rodman shined in field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. They are 2024 Fauquier Times Liberty High Athletes of the Year.
Ryman: Latecomer to football turned into ace receiver, also starred in basketball By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer
If you asked Andrew Ryman two years ago where he’d be right now, his answer would be way off. A lifelong basketball standout about to enter his junior year, Ryman joined the Eagles’ football team that fall as an inexperienced and untested wide receiver who had never played before. “I thought I was going to play basketball in college, then once I started playing football, I really enjoyed it,” Ryman said. After only two seasons, Ryman was catching everything, including the eyes of recruiters. In March, he committed to playing football at NCAA Division III power Randolph-Macon College, a meteoric rise for someone who never put on shoulder pads or a helmet until their junior year. Ryman had 42 receptions for 876 yards and nine touchdowns as a se-
nior receiver and added four interceptions on defense in earning allClass 4 honorable mention honors and helping the Eagles (5-6) to their first playoff appearance in five years. Ryman also maintained his high skill set in hoops as the Eagles’ point guard to earn the distinction of 2024 Fauquier Times Liberty High Boys Athlete of the Year.
Latecomer to football
Ryman contemplated joining the football team as a freshman and sophomore. Encouragement from coach Kevin Odlum — Ryman’s marketing teacher as a sophomore — pushed Ryman to test the gridiron. “I knew that once I graduated, I would regret not playing, not having that experience, and it turned out that I loved it,” said Ryman. “I love catching footballs and scoring touchdowns. It’s also nice to hit people sometimes.” See RYMAN, page 14
No rest for Mary: Senior shined in lacrosse, field hockey, hoops and more By Dylan Tefft

paid off as she’ll attend Oberlin (Ohio) College, one of the USA’s most highly regarded liberal arts colleges. The school is hard to get into, boasting an acceptance rate of 25%. Rodman will compete for Oberlin in lacrosse and field hockey. “They’re very open-minded people. In a way, I feel like they’re like-minded to me but also different enough that I’m not going to be around the same exact type of people,” she said. Rodman never took a season off in her four years as an Eagle athlete. She played field hockey in the fall, basketball in the winter and lacrosse in the spring. The midfielder’s field hockey accolades include Class 4 all-region first team in 2023, Class 4 all-region second team in 2022 and all-district first team in 2023 and 2022.
Mary Rodman’s high school days would often end after midnight and begin well before sunrise. How else could the high-achieving student athlete fit three sports, viola practice, club officer duties and Governor’s School studies into a single day? Rodman’s plate was always chock-full. “It was tough at times, but I just wanted to do the best that I could in all areas,” said Rodman, whose impeccable resume made her 2024 Fauquier Times Liberty Girls Athlete of the Year. “There were times when I would go to bed at 10:30 or later and she’d still be awake,” said Mary’s mother and Liberty history teacher, Andrea Rodman. “I would get up at 4:30 in the morning and Mary would be up again.” Rodman’s sleep-restricted nights See RODMAN, page 14

tize as much, you appreciate how much the people around you prioritize it,” Rodman said of her attitude towards basketball. “I just loved playing with people whose joy for the sport I could see.” “The leadership that Mary brought was just unmatched,” Liberty basketball coach Ashley Lane said. “She led in a way where it almost didn’t seem like she was leading. She was not a bossy or controlling leader by any means. She led by example, and in the one-on-one conversations that she would have with players, then also being vocal in our group meetings. She just led so well in such a unique way.” Liberty field hockey finished 4-11, basketball 1-19 and lacrosse 4-9, Rodman never lost her spirit. “Mary would talk to the girls saying, ‘Yes, we lost but look at all these great things that we did,’” Cole said. “She’d say, we worked on this at practice this week, and we were able to execute it in the game, which I think really speaks a lot about her. A lot of girls look up to her.” Andrea Rodman said all that losing wasn’t easy on her oldest daughter. “We talked about it, I said just keep doing what you’re doing,” Andrea Rodman said. “Don’t get discouraged. Just keep going and help others learn. Help them to be better next year when you’re not here.”
The 5-foot-7 Rodman picked up field hockey in her sophomore year. Among her highlights was a hat trick in a 6-0 win over Brentsville on Sept. 20, 2022 “I just started playing out of curiosity,” Rodman said. “I wasn’t playing anything else in the fall, and I was used to playing sports all year round. I really enjoyed it. And I think I was able to pick it up easier because of lacrosse since the skill sets are pretty similar.” “Mary was a strong and dedicated player,” said Liberty field hockey coach Megan Neher. “She would never give up and was determined to do her best during every practice and game. She knew her position well, and always made the correct plays.”
More excellent stickwork
In lacrosse, Rodman began to stack accolades as a sophomore when she was a Class 4 all-region first team defender. She was second team all-region her junior and senior years. “Stick skills are really important in lacrosse and Mary prioritizes that for sure, and it shows on the field,” said Liberty lacrosse coach Rylie Cole. “She’s able to plan ahead and anticipate the next thing that’s going to happen from play to play. It’s really beneficial and a big reason why she’s so great.” Rodman’s personal-record eight goals in a game stand as one of the most impressive performances in team history. She has played since third grade and considers lacrosse her most comfortable sport. “Without Mary, we’re definitely losing a very skilled player with a great personality and hard work ethic,” said Cole. “But she also has done a really nice job helping pave the way for all the girls next year.”
Life as a Rodman

Besides playing three sports, Mary Rodman played viola and participated in a variety of clubs, including being an officer in the Black Student Union.
Hoops as well
Rodman played basketball in the winter, starting and serving as team captain. “When it comes to a sport that you don’t priori-
Ryman’s athletic tools made him hard to guard RYMAN, from page 13 “I would harass him a little bit every day. I’d say, ‘Are you going to play football this year?’ He finally came out and the rest is history,” Odlum said. Ryman said his lifelong love of basketball was adequate preparation. “Basketball helped a lot with my coordination and athleticism. And as a receiver, you’re running a lot of routes, so you got to be pretty smooth with it,” said Ryman, who’s always had great hands. Said dad Chris, “As a kid, he’d be able to do the one-handed catches and lay out for the diving catch, the over the shoulder catch. He’d always bring it in.” At 5-foot-10, Ryman is strong for his size, and extremely athletic. He can dunk a basketball and perhaps could have had a future in gymnastics. Liberty basketball coach Pat Frazer recalled legendary Meridian coach Jim Smith heralding Ryman’s pregame backflips. “He’s like, ‘I watched your guys play on film and I’ve never seen somebody do a backflip in the starting lineup. That was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen on film,’” said Frazer. At 5-10, 165 pounds, Ryman lined up everywhere in football. He’d bring sprinter speed, a near 3-foot vertical leap and explosive strength for his size. “Coaches would say, ‘Pound-for-pound, he’s one of the strongest guys on the team,’” dad Chris said. Said Odlum, “I would say even beyond poundfor-pound. He was one of the strongest guys in the weight room.”
A stellar senior season

He’ll play football at Randolph-Macon College. at 4-6, but Ryman left his mark, playing frequently as a backup and making plays. Hosting Sherando in Week 7, Ryman capped off a 15-point comeback with the game-winning reception, a 19-yard touchdown to give the Eagles the 35-29 edge. Ryman entered his senior season as Liberty’s No. 1 receiver. Sitting behind seniors Tyler Caporaletti and Joey Triplett, two NCAA Division II recruits, as a junior was invaluable for Ryman. “It was important to watch how they ran routes, how they caught the football, how they practiced,” he said. “He worked his way in, but then he worked his
Being the second-oldest child in a large, athletic family meant that Rodman was destined to be active. “We’re definitely a sports family,” Andrea Rodman said, referring to her five children. “All of our kids do some kind of sports. I think for our family, it just keeps them active. And we want them to learn and set goals for themselves.” See RODMAN, page 16 way up. It’s hard to find somebody who’s willing to put in that extra time, that extra effort, and those receivers would stay around after practice for an hour with the quarterback throwing the ball,” said Odlum. After missing the season opener against Kettle Run with a foot injury, he debuted against Fauquier in the Bird Bowl and made his presence known instantly, taking a slant route 64 yards for a touchdown on his first reception. “(QB) Austin Mawyer dropped a strike right in there and he caught it in stride and was gone. It was beautiful. I think I about fell down in the bleachers,” dad Chris said. Ryman caught two passes for 82 yards and two TDs to beat Fauquier 38-6 and win the Eagles a 20th consecutive Bird Bowl, a strong showing that pales in comparison to the marks he hit later in the season. Needing to beat visiting James Wood in the season finale to reach the playoffs, Ryman caught two long touchdowns and totaled 260 receiving yards in a 35-29 overtime win to clinch their first playoff berth since 2019. “It was one of those games. You go out there and you’re on point,” said Ryman, who was proud to lead the Eagles back to the postseason. “It was one of my best times in high school. College scouts took notice of Ryman’s ability to constantly get open and haul in passes. He first received interest from Shenandoah University midway through his senior season and was later offered a spot at the University of Delaware as a preferred walk on but didn’t want to go outof-state. His decision to attend Randolph-Macon College came late. Ryman didn’t hear from the Yellow Jackets until after his senior season, but after visiting the Ashland campus and meeting coach Pedro Arruza, he committed in March. See RYMAN, page 16

From presidential politics to interest rates STOCK PHOTO
The upcoming presidential election — as well as the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates — are among factors that will determine the fate of the local real estate market in the second half of 2024.
How the November election, other factors could impact the local real estate market By Scott MacDonald
Broker /owner RE/MAX Gateway
As we reach the halfway point of the year, it’s remarkable to see how quickly time has flown by. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, one major event stands out: the presidential election in November. How might this impact the housing market? Historically, home sales typically decline by about 10% in October and November. However, during election years since 1963, this drop has been more pronounced, averaging around 15%. As a result, we can expect to see fewer home sales this year.
The silver lining is that the year following an election generally sees an increase in both home sales and home prices. This trend creates opportunities for sellers, though it may pose challenges for buyers due to higher prices impacting affordability. Another factor to consider is the potential decision of the Federal Reserve to lower the federal funds interest rate. Many economists are predicting this move due to easing inflation and a softening job market. While this won’t have a direct impact on mortgage rates, it could indirectly benefit them. It’s worth noting that the Fed has made rate adjustments in every election year since 1980, except for 2008 when rates were at 0% due to the aftermath of the Great Recession. Mortgage interest rates have been declining over the past few weeks, ranging between 6.5% and 6.75%. Lower rates continue to spur demand, as evidenced by the high turnout at open hous-

This trend is likely to persist through the end of the year. It’s been an eventful year for real estate, and significant changes are on the horizon, especially with new regulations stemming from the Missouri lawsuit. It’s crucial to stay informed and navigate this journey together. As always, we’re here to assist you in any market, whether you’re buying or selling real estate.

She just wasn’t interested which is completely fine. She found her own groove and always loved those team sports, especially lacrosse,” her mom said. Rodman’s younger brother Eddie is a Liberty varsity football and lacrosse player entering his senior year. Her two youngest siblings, Codi and Bodhi, were adopted from China in 2016 and 2018, respectively.

They’re a winning football program,” said Ryman, who’s hungry to see the field as a freshman. “A lot of freshmen don’t get the opportunity, so I got to grind really hard to get out there.”

The highlight of Ryman’s hoops career came his senior season when he scored a career-high 28-points in a 67-42 win over Dominion in December. “I came out feeling really good and loose, and right off the bat I was hitting all my shots.

Ruth Jeffries Pearson
James Linwood Hatcher Jr.
Ruth Jeffries Pearson, lifelong resident of The Plains, Virginia, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2024 at the age of 96. Born on March 24,1928, she was the daughter of the late Bertha and Frank Jeffries. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Leo F. Pearson, in 1995. Ruth was a forward thinker with a sharp mind. These traits, along with her strong work ethic, served her well throughout her career that began with a part-time position during the summer of 1944 at the Naval Torpedo Station in Alexandria, VA. Following her graduation from Marshall High School in 1945, Ruth, along with two of her girlfriends, moved to Georgetown to pursue a secretarial position at the Pentagon. After returning home a few years later, getting married and becoming a mother, Ruth returned to work as a telephone operator for C&P Telephone Company. She proudly worked the majority of her professional career at the Warrenton Training Center from where she retired in 1985 with over 28 years of dedicated service. She later worked part-time as a bookkeeper for the former Turner Oil Company in The Plains. Ruth was as dedicated to her family as she was to her work. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, baking and spending vacations at Colonial Beach during the summers. After truly retiring from work in 2001, which was about the same time her great-grandchildren were born, "Rupie" enthusiastically filled her living room with Hot-Wheels and Play Doh. In her most recent years, she looked forward to greeting her neighbors at the The Plains Post Office, being invited to ride along to Charles Town and catching up with family and friends who regularly stopped by or called to check-in. Ruth is survived by her only daughter, Gloria Jean Shelton & husband, Butch; her granddaughter, Tara Lee & husband, Kevin; her two great-grandchildren, Cameron and Callaway, all of The Plains. She also leaves behind her two brothers & their families: Dr. Edward F. Jeffries, Jr. & wife, Dawn of Lakeland, FL and Henry Jeffries & wife, Patricia, also of The Plains.

James Linwood "Jimmy" Hatcher Jr., a long-time Middleburg area resident, a lifetime equestrian, and a masterful storyteller died on June 26 in Richmond, Virginia at age 89. Mr. Hatcher had recently returned to his hometown from his residence in Upperville, Virginia where he was known to a legion of friends and neighbors simply as "Jimmy" or "Hatcher." He was a regular presence around the village, walking his dog every morning and greeting anyone he ran into, two or four-legged, on the way to the post office or Trinity Church. Jimmy wrote a popular column called "Carry Me Back," for a Middleburg area magazine, Country ZEST & Style, in which he recounted all manner of colorful stories about his myriad experiences as a long-time fox hunter, talented horse show competitor and judge, a college student, and a real estate agent. Jimmy was born on April 6, 1935 in Richmond, the son of James Linwood Hatcher and Martha Barrow Hatcher. He grew up in the Ginter Park section of the city, graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and Hampden-Sydney College where he was president of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. From a young age, he was always enamored with horses and, at 16, was champion of the first Loudoun Junior Horse Show in Middleburg in 1951 on Candlewick. Several years later, he qualified to ride in the Maclay Finals at Madison Square Garden in New York, a prestigious equitation event. After college, he served in the U.S. Army, then joined his family's Richmond heating oil business, Wingfield Hatcher. Jimmy moved to the Middleburg area in 1966 and soon was deeply immersed in the town's horsey culture and social life. He continued to compete in and later judge horse shows and was named to the Virginia Horse Show Association Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Upperville Horse & Colt Show's Wall of Honor in 2007. He was a devoted supporter of the National Sporting Library & Museum in Middleburg. Aside from his work in real estate he was a talented artist, and in his 60s became a devoted practitioner of yoga and Pilates. He was an avid walker, in recent years usually accompanied by his beloved dog, Ricky. He also loved to dance. Jimmy was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, where he previously served on the vestry. He was predeceased by a sister, Anne Hatcher Jennings. He is survived by a nephew, Joseph Ashby Jennings III and his wife Elizabeth of Richmond, and a niece Ashby Jennings Hatch and her husband Ian of Dallas, Texas. He also is survived by five grand nieces, MacNair Jennings Cox, Grace Jennings, MacKenzie Hatch, Anne Gamble Jennings, and Ainsley Hatch. A celebration of Mr. Hatcher's life was scheduled at 11:00 on Monday, July 8 at Trinity Church in Upperville. In his memory, the family suggests any donations be directed to Middleburg Humane Foundation.
