Former Town Councilman Bob Walker’s wife Lillian is proud to have a memorial version of the road sign that bears her late husband’s name. Current Councilmen Jerry Wood and Renard Carlos were present, as was Walker’s sister, Frances (at right).

Warrenton honors legacy of former Town Councilman Bob Walker Warrenton Town Police shut down Third Street for about 20 minutes Sunday as a crowd gathered at 2 p.m. to honor the legacy of former Town Councilman Bob Walker, who passed away June 24 at age 85. The Town Council voted to recognize Walker with an honorary renaming of South Third Street. The street is still named South Third Street; however, an honorary designation, “Bob Walker Way” now sits below the street name. Del. Michael Webert, R-18th, as well as Councilmen Renard Carlos (at large), Robert Kravetz (Ward 4), Sean Polster (at large) and Brett Hamby (Ward 3) were present for the ceremony, as were Walker’s wife Lillian, his sister Frances and dozens of other family members, friends and well-wishers. Carlos called on those in attendance to continue Walker’s legacy by staying engaged in the community and to continually ask, “Is it fair?” INSIDE Business.............................................13 Classified............................................35 Communities......................................28 Faith...................................................28

Walker was Warrenton’s first black town council member and served for 17 years, starting in the mid1980s. He operated Walker’s Barber Shop on Third Street, where he learned barbering skills from his father. Walker was a strong voice for racial justice during the turbulent years of school integration and was a lifetime member of the NAACP. He was a school bus driver for 32 years, a longtime Mason, and a devoted member of the Mount Zion Baptist Church. At Sunday’s ceremony, Lillian Walker admitted, “I had a meltdown this morning, so I’m not going to do that here.” She thanked all those attending for their love and support, and thanked “God in heaven, for the history that has been made.” She added, “That torch that Bob carried, it’s not just going to lay down on the ground. I’d like to see others pick it up and carry on.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

The Warrenton Town Council on Thursday will consider resolutions to apply for Virginia Department of Transportation funding for three separate projects – a roundabout at Walker Drive and Lee Street; safety improvements at Waterloo Street and Chestnut Street and upgrades on Main Street between Courthouse Square and Calhoun Street. Town council will consider the resolutions during a work session at 7 p.m. on Aug. 8 at Town Hall. The town’s finance committee will look at the resolutions at 5 p.m.; the public safety and transportation committee will discuss them at 6 p.m.

Main Street

The Main Street project would aim to improve walkability and highlight Warrenton’s historic assets. It is a longstanding idea that was recently updated in a draft plan by Bohler Engineering. The update was funded at $85,000 by the town’s CIP in fiscal year 2019. Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer said, “The grant application for VDOT funding is just the next step in a long process that started in the early 1970s and was revised in the 1990s.”   Schaeffer said, “At this time we are seeking council support for the grant applications.” According to the VDOT website, “Projects are selected, and funding is allocated by resolution of the Commonwealth Transportation Board in See MAIN STREET, page 4

Historical marker commemorates Rosenwald Schools legacy AAHA and Jewish historical association partner to recognize early schools for black students By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

More than a hundred local residents gathered Saturday morning at Eva Walker Park in Warrenton to celebrate the installation of a new historical marker commemorating Fauquier County’s eight Rosenwald Schools. The schools, two- to fiveroom buildings with no heat or running water, provided education for black students before integration. The Afro-American Historical Association in The Plains coordinated the placing of the marker and hosted the Aug. 3 program. The AAHA is led by founders Karen Hughes White and Karen King Lavore. Julius Rosenwald never finished high school but rose to become the president of Sears. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, the Jewish philanthropist joined forces with African-American communities throughout the Jim Crow South to build more than 5,300 schools between 1917 and 1932, 82 of them in Virginia. Jerry Klinger, president of the Jewish American Society of Historic Preservation, which paid for the

Klinger said that Rosenwald provided seed money for the schools (15 percent of the cost) but required public funding to be included (68

percent). African-American communities provided matching funding and labor to build the schools (22 percent) and the white community also contributed (1 percent). Rosenwald Schools represented a partnership with the communities, Klinger said. Rosenwald believed, “We do it together or it won’t be done at all.” In Fauquier, Rosenwald schools included: Blackwelltown (Midland), Cresthill (Hume), Greensville, Orlean,

Rectortown No. 12, Remington No. 15 “Piney Ridge,” Rosenwald High School (formerly “County Training”) and Routts Hill (Bealeton). Warrenton Town Councilman Renard Carlos (at large) spoke during the program about the significance of the new historical marker, which represents the untold stories of black communities. “Warrenton has so much history that some stories don’t get told.” He also spoke of the importance of partnerships, and of community. “For a lot of things in society, we don’t have to wait for everyone to agree in order to move forward. Sometimes, when we start a journey by ourselves, along the way we find partners …” Michael Blakey, Ph.D., anthropologist, educator and director of the New York African Burial Ground Project, See ROSENWALD, page 8

Fauquier GOP continues to back Rep. Denver Riggleman Cumberland County Republican Committee approved motion of no confidence By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Rep. Denver Riggleman is doing a “fantastic job” representing Virginia’s 5th District and “whatever feelings individuals may have about this one action does not and should not take away” from that, said the chairman of the Fauquier County Republican Committee. Chairman Greg Schumacher was asked by the Fauquier Times to comment about the Cumberland County Republican Committee approving a motion of no confidence in Riggleman on July 29. The motion cited as reasons his officiating a same-sex marriage and a lack of support for stronger border security and immigration policies. The Cumberland County committee was chaired by Diana Shores, who backed one of Riggleman’s opponents for the Republican nomination for the seat last year, according to the News & Advance in Lynchburg. The 5th District includes much of Fauquier County and extends to the North Carolina border. Shores is moving to

Prince Edward County and the July 29 committee meeting was her last, according to the News & Advance, which also reported she failed to get the larger 5th Congressional District Republican Committee to pass a no-confidence vote on July 27. Riggleman’s communication director, Joe Chelak, issued a statement saying “Congressman Riggleman participated in a wedding for two of his friends and campaign volunteers who asked him to officiate. The congressman was happy to officiate their wedding and he is proud of these two young people who found their life partner. Congressman Riggleman has full confidence in the district committee and applauds their decision to continue to make the Republican Party an inclusive party of liberty and freedom for everyone.”  Expanding on his “big tent” comment, Schumacher added, “Folks who are in broad agreement with our principles may both disagree on and carry different levels of passion about specific issues. The assertions by a few that Congressman Riggle-

REP. DENVER RIGGLEMAN

man is weak on border security and immigration tells me they are either misinformed or have an agenda." Riggleman visited the U.S.-Mexico border just last week. In a Facebook live video shot on the New Mexico side of the border, he said more barriers, people stationed at them and technology are needed to provide more secure borders. The Fauquier committee chairman said he only received two calls

about the issue after the story broke. “Wading into the resolution fray at this point is counterproductive,” Schumacher added. Dirk Wyckoff, vice chairman for membership for the Fauquier County Republican Committee, said he was in agreement with Schumacher’s statement and that “I fully support Denver Riggleman.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Equine clinic to add indoor riding ring and stable

building additions aren’t expected to generate more traffic, according to the applicants. During the public hearing that preceded the BZA vote, James Rich, who lives near the equine facility, said that he and some of his neighbors were concerned about traffic. “Landmark School Road is a lane and a half with no shoulders and no room for error,” Rich said. He said that the applicants are “great neighbors” but that “our main concern is safety.” Rich called it a “beautiful, scenic road” and he didn’t want the Virginia Department of Transportation to decide it needed to improve the road and cut down trees and rock walls to do it. Michael Brown, attorney for the applicants, noted “this is horse country” and he mentioned letters of support of the application that were submitted. There was no concern about traffic expressed by VDOT, he said. The BZA unanimously approved the special permit, stipulating that the applicants have clients use a southern entrance to the property rather than Landmark School Road.

BZA approves special permit to allow expansion at The Plains facility By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special permit Aug. 1 that allows the owners of Virginia Equine Imaging to add an indoor riding ring, a larger stable to accommodate eight horse stalls, a wash room, a feed room and treatment area, as well as two small sheds for their personal use. Kent Allen and L. Rae Stone own the 60 acres at 2716 Landmark School Road in The Plains. The property is zoned agriculture and has a conservation easement. The clinic has been operating under a special-use permit that was amended and modified in 2001.

Fauquier to apply for grant to bring broadband to Orlean By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County plans to apply for a state grant to support a planned expansion of broadband service to Orlean. Deputy County Administrator Katie Heritage said the thinking at this stage in the process is to seek a $3 million Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development Telecommunications Initiative grant that will require the county to contribute $500,000 and Comcast to put in an additional $500,000. “Comcast approached us and we identified Orlean as an unserved area,” said Heritage. The county has a non-exclusive franchise agreement with Comcast. “All providers are approaching counties” with which they have agreements to partner together and apply for a share of the total $19 million in state

funding available, Heritage explained. The grant program is designed to subsidize construction costs and provide last-mile service to unserved areas, according to the VDHCD website. “It’s a win-win. We said, ‘Why not?’” said Heritage. “We could get $3 million by putting in 5 and Comcast putting in 5 to light up an area” with broadband, Heritage said. Since Comcast service is fiber-based, it is likely the service to Orlean would involve laying fiber. The county expects to file its grant application in September. It is currently seeking public comment on the proposed application. Comments will be received until the close of the business day on Aug. 16. Comments can be submitted to: Catherine Heritage, deputy county administrator, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton, Virginia, 20186. Her email is Katie.heritage@fauquiercounty.gov. Her phone number is 540-422-8005.

Supervisors put off public hearing on broadband The Board of Supervisors has put off plans to hold a public hearing and possibly vote at Thursday’s monthly meeting on the proposals two companies have submitted to make broadband internet available throughout the county. The county envisions spending $20 million over four years to speed a public-private solution to the problem that is acute in the most rural parts of Fauquier. The afternoon meeting is closed since the supervisors will be discussing the financial proposals made by Tenebris Fiber and Data Stream Mobile Technologies (formerly Omnipoint Technology Partners) and discussing them “in an open session would adversely affect the bargaining position or negotiating strategy of the county,” the agenda said. The supervisors solicited “conceptual” proposals last year and in November selected Tenebris and Omnipoint to present detailed plans. The board’s timetable for a deci-

sion has been pushed back before. Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, the vice chair, said in an interview that there are “a lot of moving parts on this thing. We’re trying to make sure we do the right thing here.” County officials have said they anticipate a “hybrid” solution to the broadband problem, meaning laying 130 miles of new fiber and building towers that can transmit broadband signals wirelessly to homeowners and businesses that now have only slow-speed access to the internet. Tenebris Fiber is experienced at laying fiber while Data Stream Mobile already has a small contract with the county to install towers in communities including Casanova and Goldvein. Tenebris has not been asked to participate in Thursday’s closed session and is still awaiting the county’s response to the last information it submitted in response to county questions, said Adam Noll, its chief commercial and development officer.

funding for Main Street improvements would be for funds of up to $950,000 through the VDOT FY2021-2022 Transportation Alternatives Program. The VDOT grant would require matching funds from the town, in an 80/20 split. VDOT’s portion would be 80 percent ($760,000), the town’s, 20 percent ($190,000).

VDOT grants could help fund three separate road projects MAIN STREET, from page 1 June of each year, with the funding becoming available July 1.”  According to documentation included in the materials for Thursday’s meetings, in 1991 the town contracted for what has become known as “The Spreiregen Plan.” Its premise was to present a long-range view for Main Street with a 30-year perspective. Three elements guided that planning effort: • Protect the heritage of the past, the good works that the past has produced. • Prepare for future needs, its change and growth, with the same creativity and foresight found in better moments of the past. • Repair the accumulated errors from the past and avoid their reoccurrence. Bohler used the Spreiregen Plan and a new survey of Main Street as the basis for its draft engineered plans; after several versions, a final draft was submitted to the town on Aug. 2. Both the Spreiregen Plan and the current draft design both seek to “improve walkability, streetscaping and encourage a vibrant Main Street.” While the designs are extremely similar, there are small design modifications that, the accompanying materials say, “are the product of 28 years of planning and engineering changes.” The town’s Walkability Audit, and Complete Streets Report were also considered as Bohler completed the draft report. Bohler’s draft plan for Main Street includes raised crosswalks to slow down traffic, bump outs (like

the ones installed near Fifth Street last fall) and space for sidewalk dining. It also maps out an additional crosswalk near First Street. A possible directional star design embedded in the road at Courthouse Square would provide visual interest. The plan includes several features that would highlight Warrenton’s historical significance. Main Street between Second Street and Third Street would be repaved with brick, to mark the historic crossroads of the town. The two gateways to Old Town -- the intersection of Alexandria Pike and Main Street and the intersection of Calhoun and Main streets – would feature mid-street signs to welcome visitors to Old Town. The permanent markers would also serve as traffic-calming features. The resolution to apply for VDOT

Several options are being explored to improve car and pedestrian safety at Waterloo and Chestnut streets – from adding sidewalks and crosswalks to changing the layout of Waterloo street and adding a median.

This grant would require at 50/50 split, which translates to a $50,000 contribution from the town of Warrenton. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Using every trick in the book Teachers receive training to help students learn to read By Erin Hogge

New targeted training for teachers in Fauquier County aims to improve their ability to teach students to read. More than 100 teachers have received the intensive education in the last year. Created in the 1930s by neurologist Dr. Samuel Orton and psychologist Anna Gillingham, the Orton-Gillingham method combines multi-sensory tactics and phonics-focused lessons to improve literacy, according to the website for The Institute for Multi-Sensory Education. Two different levels of the training, comprehensive and intermediate, have been offered in Fauquier. This summer, 38 Fauquier County Public School teachers participated in the comprehensive level; 23 of these then participated in the intermediate level the following week. Training also took place in the fall of 2018 and January of this year. The comprehensive course costs $810; the intermediate costs $900. Each level totals 30 hours during a five-day period. Katherine Nutt, Ph.D., lead dyslexia advisor for FCPS, has seen the effects of dyslexia firsthand; she said that multiple members of her family deal with the learning disorder. A teacher in Fauquier County for 17 years, she introduced Fauquier to the Orton-Gillingham multi-sensory program. Nutt said students benefit tremendously when their teachers know how to teach reading from multiple angles, including listening and touching. “All school systems get teachers that have gone through great programs, but they really haven’t had the in-depth literacy training that they need nowadays,” Nutt said. “I’ve got more and more teachers that want to participate in this training.” The entire cost of the most recent training for FCPS teachers –– $51,000 –– was privately raised by parents, local family foundations and individuals. Heidi van Voorhis, who helped to fundraise, takes the literacy issue personally because her own child struggled with reading. She said students who pass reading Standards of Learning tests simply by guessing don’t get flagged as needing help. They hide their issue and it sets them behind their peers. The National Assessment of Educational Progress reading scores in Virginia for the last decade have remained stagnant. Additionally, the scores show 63 percent of eighthgrade students are below proficient in reading; the seeds of the problem, however, started years before. “This [training] is one of the best tools we can have in our toolbox,” van Voorhis said. “Our nation has a giant literacy problem and it all flies

In fact, all teachers are encouraged to participate to learn how to recognize and help a child in need of extra attention when learning to read. Alex O’Dell, principal of Mary Walter Elementary School, said the program would be a “great help” to all new elementary teachers. “IMSE provides teachers with strategies to address the basic understanding of how letters and sounds connect to create words,” O’Dell said via email. “Many teachers, experienced and novice, do not receive in-depth training in how to diagnose or address issues students exhibit with regard to phonics and phonemic awareness. When teachers implement the skills they receive through IMSE, they are amazed at the progress students make, particularly the most at risk to be struggling readers.” Hoping the program will expand, O’Dell wishes to see a few adjustments in the program’s implementation. “Trainings would be most effective if conducted during [the] summer months. The optimal model would include compensation for teachers,” he said. Sharing her passion for literacy improvement, Nutt holds the training program in high regard. “It’s a great supplement to the word study teachers are using in their classrooms and for students who just don’t quite ‘get it,’” Nutt said. “Because there are different strategies, if a student doesn’t learn one way then there’s other strategies that will probably meet their need. And it’s incredibly engaging.” Nutt, among others, hopes to see a higher percentage of teacher enrollment in the training and is grateful to the county for being so receptive to the training. “I have not spoken to a single person that’s participated in these trainings that has not been enthusiastic,” Nutt said. “It’s a life-changing experience. I’m very excited to see where we go.”

Dr. David C. Jeck of Marshall, superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools, was named to the Virginia Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education Commission, according to a Friday afternoon press release from Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s office. Northam signed an executive order establishing the STEM Education Commission on July 17. A governor’s office press release circulated that day explained that the commission is tasked with developing “a state STEM plan to create a unified statewide vision and dynamic set of shared goals to strategically inform how we prepare Virginia’s students for the STEM jobs of the future.” Northam said in the release, “With its focus on addressing the evolving workforce needs and the persistent disparities in our education system, this commission will play a key role in ensuring we give all our students an opportunity to succeed in STEM-related fields.” First lady Pamela Northam will chair the commission. The remaining members will include state and local stakeholders, including representatives of early childhood, K-12, post-secondary, out-of-school, informal and environmental education programs, as well as workforce

development, business and industry partners from every region of Virginia, the release said. The commission “will seek to address the educational inequities which often limit access to advanced courses in STEM disciplines, credentials and work-based learning for many of the commonwealth’s most vulnerable and underrepresented students,” continued the communication. “We must ensure equitable opportunities and access for every Virginian to become a vital part of a robust STEM ecosystem, no matter their race, ZIP code, socioeconomic status or gender,” said Secretary of Education Atif Qarni in the press release. The release concluded, “The commission will also encourage collaboration among government and non-government entities to track state data and outcome metrics, reshape future curriculum and course design, and inform state and local policy. Additionally, the commission will evaluate and recommend ways to optimize and align public-private partnerships and local, state, and federal resources to enhance programs and services for Virginia’s children and their families, particularly those at higher risk.” The commission will issue a written report with its findings and recommendations no later than July 1, 2020, according to the July 17 press release.

AAHA and Jewish historical association partner to recognize early schools for black students ROSENWALD, from page 2 provided a history lesson for those attending the ceremony, focusing on the triad of the community – cemeteries, churches and schools. He said that after the Civil War, an average of $35 was spent on educating each white child; $7 was spent on each black child. He felt that the Rosenwald Schools were so important because “schools represent hope for the future.”

Tales of community

When students of Fauquier County’s Rosenwald Schools remember their early years, they speak of smart, dedicated teachers, Maypole celebrations and spelling bees. When they walked to and from school, it was with their siblings, cousins and friends. Their community, they said, made sure they had what they needed. During a post-ceremony reception at the J. E. Penn Family Life Center at Warrenton’s First Baptist Church, Christine Taylor, who attended Rosenwald School in Warrenton, was able to name every one of her elementary school teachers. She said, “I didn’t know what we didn’t have until much later.” While taking the mile walk to school each day from her Haiti

neighborhood, Taylor said, she and her friends would “see the yellow bus with the white kids… I had a wonderful elementary education. I didn’t feel I had less.” Earsaline Grant-Anderson, who attended Rectortown School #12 as a child, remembers those years fondly. “They were the best years of my life.” Rectortown was a two-room schoolhouse with two teachers, one for first through third grade and one for fourth through seventh. “The PTA paid for our school supplies.” Grant-Anderson said, “I didn’t know until later that whites and blacks had different school books. I don’t think any of us were hindered in our lives because of it.” Linda White from Madisontown attended Rosenwald School. “We did everything at the school… Our teachers lived in our neighborhoods. Any kind of shenanigans you got up to outside of school followed you back to school.” She said, “I didn’t have anything to compare it to. We were black and went to a black school. We learned our academics, but we also learned to be good people… I thank God for having the privilege of this heritage and this culture.”

Janice Walker was a student at W.C. Taylor and helped to host the reception after the dedication. Linda Reid Jolley attended Orlean School in 1959, when she was 7 years old, then switched to the Cresthill school in Hume. “I didn’t know it was a Rosenwald School. To me, it was just the colored school.” She remembered, “When I went to Orlean, all the other kids had lunches with white bread from the store… I had homemade biscuits that my grandmother made.” Jolley remembered the day when her biscuits fell out of her lunch box and rolled down the hill. “The kids laughed at me.” She said that she told her grandmother and “she went to the store and spent her butter and egg money on white bread so that I could fit in.” As a teenager Jolley remembers telling her grandmother, “When I leave here, I ain’t never coming back.” Jolley, after 29 years in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, lives on the same land she did as a child, very near the Cresthill school. As Karen White cut the cake at the reception, she enlisted the help of Ngazi Baptiste, 11, to help. “This represents the past and the future of our community,” she said. White was thrilled that the marker was in place at Eva Walker Park

The Rev. Robert Jones, who delivered the invocation, wears four ribbons to represent the four Rosenwald Schools he attended. and that the program was well-attended and well-received. The 16-month process to have the marker created and installed, and to plan the celebration, was a big task for the AAHA and its tiny staff. Since the year 2019 is being recognized as the 400th anniversary of Africans landing on the shores of Virginia, the dedication of the marker seems especially appropriate, said White.  As Jerry Klinger said during his remarks to the crowd, “This ceremony will be over in a little while, but this marker will be here 10-20-50 years from now … Freedom is not an endpoint, it’s a process.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Major and Vera Gaines pushed for permanent potties at park Major Gaines grew up in Oliver City and attended the Rosenwald School in Warrenton, but his beginnings were a bit rocky. At the reception that followed the dedication of the historical marker commemorating Fauquier’s Rosenwald Schools, he remembered his first day of school. He said that he and the other children in his neighborhood walked to school, and when he got there thought, “I never seen so many children.” The older children sat him down and told him to wait. “When the bell rings, we’ll come back to get you,” they said. But when the bell rang, Gaines said, “I took off through the woods and ran home.” He added, “I got a good whipping for that one. They told me, ‘When you go to school, you have to stay there,’” He related other stories of missteps, and admitted, “Finally, God looked down at me and decided, ‘I have to help that boy,’ and he did.” Perhaps to make up for those early misdeeds, Major Gaines and his wife Vera (who also attended Rosenwald School), decided to tackle a problem they felt was affecting their community: the couple pushed for the Town of Warrenton to install permanent bathrooms at Eva Walker Park. In 2013, Eva Walker Park, which is located a few steps from Haiti Street, a traditionally black

community, was equipped only with temporary restroom facilities – Don’s Johns. Gaines felt strongly that a park in the middle of Warrenton should have adequate facilities, particularly as Eva Walker is used for church events where elderly and wheelchair-bound folks need facilities. He and his wife wrote letters and attended meetings until the job was done, in 2015. Margaret Rice, director of Warrenton’s Department of Parks and Recreation, said about Gaines, “He is passionate about making our community a great place for all. We are always excited to have citizens involved. Not only does it help us identify what the community wants and needs, it also gives us a chance to have a deeper interaction with those community members. It’s great for us to have people that we can call on for input and involvement.” Eva Walker Park has seen a number of other changes, said Rice: installation of new playground sets, repair and resurfacing of the basketball court, installation of fitness stations in the far end of the park and installation of horseshoe pits. She said, “We have also recently provided the Community House on Haiti Street with play equipment (basketballs, horse shoes, and corn hole) that can be checked out to use in the park. She added, “I don’t really have a way to verify that the restrooms themselves brought more visitors to the park, but I think we can definitely all agree that

We are so fortunate to have residents like him who refuse to dwell on problems and instead work to create solutions. We get so much more accomplished when we do things together, and this is especially true when residents like Mr. Gaines stay involved and take the initiative to make our neighborhoods stronger.” - Robin Earl

Psychologist Robert Iadeluca, Ph.D., 98, dies August 6 The man known to one and all as “Dr. Robby” passed away Tuesday, Aug. 6. Robert Iadeluca closed his clinical psychology practice in Warrenton after 25 years on Sept. 30, 2016 – just after his 96th birthday. Through the years, he was active in the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce and a frequent contributor to local publications. He offered lessons learned during his long life and wrote about the challenges of living with substance abuse, a particular interest of his. Local businessman Tony Tedeschi said that Iadeluca was ahead of his time on this issue. “I remember years ago he would write and give talks on the dangers of pharmaceuticals. He would talk about the addictive power of legal drugs. He thought it was a big problem. I guess the rest of us are finally catching up with him.” Tedeschi added, “All of his pieces were timeless because they dealt with fundamental issues. They were valid 50 years ago and they are still valid today.” Joe Martin, president of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce, said, “Dr. Robby, as we affectionately called him, was not just an excellent clinical psychologist or a very passionate chamber member. He was a great friend and will be sorely missed. He was compassionate and would take the time to listen to what you had to say. On our last visit to go see him he could not wait to get an update on what was happening at the chamber. He loved our chamber members and our community. “He also loved to share stories of his almost 99 years on this earth. He was a passionate member of our Tuesday and Thursday leadshare groups. He was always the first to arrive for an 8 a.m. meeting and made sure that the meeting started on time.

“Dr. Robby” Iadeluca enjoyed two rich careers before retiring in 2016. “His concern for our community was very apparent as he worked a full schedule until he was 96 years old. He was very concerned -- as we all are - about the opioid epidemic in our society. He would sit in my office for hours brainstorming on the different ways we could get the word out to our business community about this very serious epidemic.” Martin remembered that Iadeluca was named the Fauquier Chamber Business Person of the Year and he was honored with the chamber’s annual Veteran Community Service Award in 2017 at the Chamber Valor Awards. Iadeluca had two sons, three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren when he was interviewed in 2016. His wife, Fernande-Bijou, as she was called – died years ago. Iadeluca grew up in Islip on Long Island in the 1920s. He was an only child and his mother died when he was 9 years old. His father was a disabled veteran from World War I.

The future psychologist’s first job was as a delivery boy for a luncheonette. He enlisted in the Army in 1942 and served as an infantry sergeant in Europe during World War II. Through the G.I. Bill he earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Hofstra University in New York. He said, “My plan was to get a master’s but then I met somebody, fell in love, got married and never got around to getting a master’s” until later. The marriage led to children and he didn’t return to school until they were grown. In the meantime, he worked as an executive for the Boy Scouts of America for 13 years. After returning to school, he got a master’s degree at age 52 and a doctorate at 59 from Syracuse University. After college, Iadeluca worked for the federal government as a research psychologist in the Washington, D.C. area. “By that time, I was 60 years old. I entered around the time others were retiring,” he said. He retired from federal service at age 70 and opened his medical practice. Iadeluca liked to read, typically non-fiction, and he kept up with current events. He enjoyed asking provocative questions on Facebook and welcomed both in-person and online interaction. He used to walk, often taking laps around Fauquier Hospital, which was near his office – “being my age I can’t get around as much as I used to. My body doesn’t do what it used to do. But if I have to have it one way or another – my body or my brain – I’d rather keep it the way it is,” he said in 2016. Details about services were not available at press time. Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton is handling funeral arrangements.

Educating one child at a time It’s instructive at the start of each school year to take a look at the big picture. 2019 stats for the school division inform us about our students (11,061 of them) and about our facilities (11 elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools and one alternative learning school). Looking a little closer, we see that of our 1,911 employees, 950 are teachers. Statistics on students (for fall 2018) tell us that 67.9 percent are white, 7.6 percent are black/African American and 5.4 percent identify with two or more races. A little more than 17.1 percent claim Hispanic ethnicity. Nine percent are English language learners and 25.5 percent are classified as “economically disadvantaged.” In fact, for those education nerds among us, this website digs deep on how students are doing in reading, math and science, and breaks it down by race and ethnicity: http://schoolquality.virginia. gov/divisions/fauquier-county-public-schools#desktopTabs-2. The site even includes data on college preparedness and disciplinary offenses. It’s all interesting and perhaps helpful. But there is a lot that the stats don’t tell us. They don’t tell us how which students can’t get their homework done because they don’t have access to the internet at home. They don’t tell us which children have serious anxiety over their grades, or who is feeling sad and lonely. They can’t tell us which kids are hiding the fact that they are struggling to read. They can’t tell us which elementary school kids get themselves off to school in the mornings because their parents have to be on the road to

work. And they can’t tell us which high school seniors are seriously stressed out over the college admission process. Fauquier County teachers are being exposed to a variety of training sessions before the first school bell rings. The multi-sensory reading education explained in this issue (page 5) is a good example. The idea is to help students learn to read by employing multi-sensory tactics. Instead of assuming that all students learn the same way, the technique meets each child where they are. Parents in Fauquier know the value of this idea. It is every parent’s first concern: “It’s nice to have classrooms that support most students. But what about my kid?” Fortunately, we all know teachers who have the insight to give a child exactly what they need in a particular moment. Superintendent of Schools David Jeck says that teacher preparation revolves around helping educators recognize what their students need. “We talk a lot about equity. Equity is about reducing the number of negative outcomes for kids. That means fewer kids failing, fewer kids being disciplined, fewer kids who are bored.” Jeck wants to see his teachers and coaches take the time to get to know their students. He is sympathetic to how much teachers have to do, but says, “You’re going to spend the time either way. You can expend your time and energy dealing with behavior in class or spend it building a relationship with the kids.” As the first school buses get ready to roll next Wednesday, let’s all agree to support our teachers as they prepare for a tough job – helping your child reach their potential.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago August 10, 1944 The rank of major, highest yet earned by a Fauquier draftee, has been awarded to Capt. Robert A. Pearson, whose promotion was announced by the War Department on Saturday. Maj. Pearson, a native of Casanova, entered the Army on May 27, 1941. John Patrick O’Brien of Warrenton was photographed on a beachhead somewhere in Normandy, preparing for dinner by heating a can of field rations with a blowtorch. Staff Sgt. William Tapscott has returned to Camp Ellis, Ill., where he serves as a basic instructor, after spending a 15-day furlough at home. His brother, Walter Tapscott, is serving in the Air Corps somewhere in the Pacific. Pfc. John D. Brown of Marshall is among the Ninth Division infantrymen to be awarded the newly-created Combat Infantryman Badge. 50 Years Ago August 7, 1969 Ignoring the rain, 3,743 loyal Country Music fans paid admission to the 19th National Country Music Championship contest at Lake Whippoorwill Saturday and Sunday. Competing for the $2,000 in cash prizes, 187 contenders in group and individual acts played for two days and nights. The Fauquier County livestock

judging team won another contest Saturday at the Virginia Shorthorn Field Day at Pen-Y-Bryn Farm, near Middleburg. The team was made up of Johna Pierce, 15, Warrenton; Olive Chapman, 15, Bealeton; Sue Rucker, 17, Delaplane; and Cole Younger, 12, Delaplane. Marine PFC. Crongie C. Wyne, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Wyne of Warrenton, has been awarded the Combat Action Ribbon while serving with the First Marine Division in the Republic of Vietnam. 25 Years Ago August 10, 1994 It came as no surprise when the School Board voted Monday to ask the Board of Supervisors to approve spending $250,000 in carry-over funds from its 1993-94 operating budget to fund bleachers for Liberty High School’s football field. The ballistic or bullet-proof vests worn by the 15 members of the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team are more than 10 years old and unsafe, and team commander Lt. Robert P. Mosier is asking for help from the community to purchase new vests, which cost $1,200 each. Because the Sheriff’s Office did not receive a budget increase this year, funding for the vests is not possible, and Mosier is soliciting financial help from local businesses and individuals. –Compiled by John T.

Is separating children from parents creating next generation of terrorists? What has happened to our humanity? Forget politics. Aren’t we the “good guys” who rush to aid the oppressed, starved and sick? When did “we the people” decide it was OK to take babies and little children from their parents and put them in cages, with no one to care for them, and no facilities for even basic hygiene? Perhaps we are waiting for Mother Nature to step in and provide a good dose of cholera to solve the problem. Are we creating an environment which will likely produce a large group of mentally disturbed youth who will seek vengeance in the form of terrorism, as happened with the Palestinian refugee camps 70 years ago? After being separated from their parents and essentially abandoned, what are the chances that these little ones are going to grow up to be responsible adults? It is doubtful that we can even reunite these children and a parent as our paperwork, reportedly, was poor to non-existent. Who are we now? What are we thinking? Are we unconsciously on the same road that lead to Nazi Germany? Is this really who we want to be? Scary. JENNIFER SCHEFER Warrenton

The real source of division in our country I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. (Don) Bachmann (Fauquier Times, July 24) in exhorting us all to return to civil dialogue in our country. Where I disagree with him is his echoing the Democrat and media mantras that President (Donald) Trump is a major, contributing source to this division. We so often hear things like “the most divisive president in our history.” Mr. Bachmann talks about the dangers from fringes of both sides of the political spectrum. While this is, of course, true, from my vantage point, the lion’s share of the problem comes from the left. Before the president was even inaugurated, and non-stop since, a full-blown resistance movement was organized on the left and in the media, with non-stop criticism of the president and those who support him.

Broadband is a right, not an entitlement I am writing in disagreement to Mr. (Steve) Woodward's opinion in the Fauquier Times July 31. When we first moved to the county in 1986 and built our home, there was no internet service at all. In a few years, there was dial-up through our phone company, and then later in the 2000s we had satellite service with their slow uploads and downloads, with lengthy latency delays, which we still have today. Mr. Woodward is wrong. We pay taxes on our home phone service and electricity service which includes federal, state and county. I do not see any difference between

Lessons that often must be relearned My father was Chicago raised and my mother was the proverbial “Missouri mule.” He was a WWII vet who was schooled through war and his employ at the CB&Q Railroad Yard. She received her education at nursing college, but could still harken back to the common sense wisdom her immigrant parents had instilled in her. I remember when, as a small boy, I was taken by my parents to a public auction in southern Missouri. The gathering was like nothing I had ever seen before. The wooden platform was decked out like a mini-stage with an American flag draped on one side and the Confederate battle flag on the other. Behind a makeshift podium there were cardboard boxes stacked on tables made from planks and sawhorses and used furniture overflowed on to the grass. When the auctioneer stepped up to the podium, he just stood there for a moment with a toothy smile upon his face … a smile that conveyed both good will and honesty. He welcomed the crowd, joked about how pretty the girls were, and

From the far-right, we all remember and decry the neo-Nazis, about 50 as I recall, who demonstrated in Charlottesville a couple of years ago, with a young woman being killed in ensuing violent confrontations. But beyond that, where is the ongoing campaign of hate and violence from the right? The reason we keep hearing about “Charlottesville” is that it appears to be about the only major example. The neo-Nazi white supremacist group could only marshal zero people in an anniversary celebration in Charlottesville, and only 20 showed up for a national demonstration. Conversely, we’ve seen multiple instances across the country of black-clad Antifa mobs intimidating and beating non-violent supporters of free-speech and President Trump, to include vandalism of multiple

kidded the men about how fortunate they were. Everyone had a good laugh. He told his audience what was going to happen … how it would be up to them, the crowd, to assign the value of items through their bids. And once a price was determined by a final bid, anyone could purchase a similar item for that amount until they ran out. He said that he had a lot of good deals … and hinted that perhaps many were too good. A team of assistants stood ready to hand out the purchased merchandise and take in the money. The auctioneer started slow and held up the first of many items. It was a fountain pen. He described it and yelled, “What do you want to pay?” Someone shouted out 25 cents … someone else 50 cents, and he shouted back, “Sold.” Ten more went at that price. He held up an electric toaster and it was bided to a dollar. Once he accepted a bid as final, he praised the purchaser and then quickly moved on … and on. And as the tempo accelerated, the crowd was swept up. The prices set seemed to be a fraction of what

these "private utility" companies being subsidized by my taxes, then Fauquier County subsidizing or helping build my internet service. In this 21st century, internet service is a necessity just like electricity, phone or any other utility. I pay property taxes just like everyone else in the county, but the county and state of Virginia abandoned our road many years ago through a back-office deal with the land developer, yet in 2007, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors admitted in a board meeting that it was its responsibility to maintain the road, which only has one inan item was worth. But what they failed to realize was, the prices were going up while the value of the items sold was going down. He chided the men, “OK fellas, now don’t forget your little ladies.” He held up scarfs, jewelry, watches … In the end, people would bid on just about anything. My father was caught up and purchased a watch for my mother. When it was handed to her; she looked at it, smiled, and politely thanked him. But I think she knew that my father was taken in and paid too much. Later that night, I told my mother how surprised I was by how excited everyone seemed to get. She explained to me that was exactly what the auctioneer intended. He wanted to stir up the crowd into a state of frenzy so that eventually anything showed to them would appear to be of value. In truth, the crowd had lost sight of the real value of things, and this lady from the “show me” state had it pegged just right. A few weeks later, my mother’s watch stopped working, and the local jeweler told my father that it wasn’t worth repairing. I still remember the look on my father’s face … it was anger. But his anger was not directed at those who had tricked him. Instead, he chastised

buildings and burning cars. We’ve seen conservative politicians and administration figures harassed and chased out of restaurants, with such actions even encouraged by Democrat politicians. We see free speech, if it is conservative speech, shouted down, threatened and not tolerated on campuses and other venues. The most recent example is conservative journalist Andy Ngo in Portland who was beaten and pelted with milkshakes laced with cement. I have seen none of this activity coming from the right directed toward the left. I’m all for civil and rational dialogue, and if we don’t somehow get back to that place, the results will be disastrous for our country. But let’s not miss where the real source of this division and rancor is coming from. GREG SCHUMACHER The Plains

gress and egress. To date, nothing has been done. The county and state provide our subdivision with no services. No school buses, no road maintenance, no trash service, police and fire only when we call. Our subdivision has only 27 lots, the internet service providers don't think it’s "profitable" enough to give us internet. I, for one, think the county is finally doing something right. Everyone should be able to have fast, reliable internet service in the 21st century; it is a right, not an entitlement.   JAMES FOX Warrenton

my mother for not being more careful with what she was given. And, as was a woman’s plight in the mid1950s, my mother was submissive. Time passed, and all was forgotten. It was not, however, forgotten by me. I learned two lessons. The first was to beware the con man, and the second was to beware the wrath of those who had been played. In the first instance, the smiling con man worked the crowd, took their cash, and was gone by morning. In the second, it would take time for people’s smiles to return and wounds to heal. My father’s pride would never allow him to admit what was right before his eyes; that he had been beaten by a huckster. Many times we do not want to be confronted by the truth; especially not when we are made to appear foolish. We deceive ourselves, distort the facts, and look for scapegoats. In the end, we subordinate our values to our hubris. For it takes a rare person indeed to admit when they were misled … and even a rarer person to grow from the experience. I wish my father had been such a man. DON BACHMANN Marshall

How to pay for long-term care insurance

The search for immortality is as old as recorded history itself – and probably a whole lot older than that. And though we may no longer send exploration parties to find the Fountain of Youth, every year billions of dollars are spent on futile attempts to prevent aging, and even more are spent on research into prevention of aging-related diseases. But as of publication of this column … still no eternal-life pill on the horizon. And this means the following: most of us will experience the aging process – and significant long-term care costs. This fact is not lost on most of us, and it logically leads us to consider long term care insurance. These policies cover the cost of in-home care or assisted living, typically for a defined number of years. For some aging homeowners the fear – or risk – is that they will purchase a policy they will never need. And because these policies ain’t cheap, this fear is understandable. However, over the past few years long-term care/life-insurance “hybrid” policies have entered the market. These largely eliminate the financial risk of some older long-term care options. Here’s how they work: if you don’t end up needing the full payout for your long-term care, the insurance company pays your beneficiary

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON a benefit when you die. Some policies are paid through monthly or annual payments, while others are paid in one lump sum – one hefty lump sum. But more about that in a minute. There is a mind-blowing array of options, and as I am not an insurance agent, nor do I carry any insurance licenses, I will not attempt to lay out either the various products or their merits. I do have a list of highly qualified, local professionals if you’d like to explore your options. I can, however, definitively say this: increasingly calls come into my office both from homeowners and from homeowners’ financial advisors; they are exploring ways to fund long-term care insurance. And more and more frequently they are turning to a reverse mortgage as a means of covering premiums. Why? It’s simple. A long-term care policy creates a bucket of money that contains many times the dollar amounts paid in. But as I mentioned, a policy can be pricey.

A reverse mortgage, which is a home equity loan much like any other, can provide funds for a long-term care policy without saddling the homeowner with a monthly mortgage payment. Because a reverse mortgage is a loan, it will be repaid – but not until the last person on the title permanently leaves the home. At that point the heirs either sell the home or repay the debt and keep the home. Many years ago, I mindlessly said to a client, “Getting old is hard.” He replied, “No, getting old is easy. Paying for it is hard.” Touché. Finances are the hard part. There is never a one-size-fits-all financial product – including longterm care insurance or a reverse mortgage. Financial needs vary and every homeowner’s circumstances are a bit different. But this much is certain: none of us is likely to get by on just our Social Security. Few will survive on just an IRA, a 401(k), or

pension – or, for that matter, on a reverse mortgage. However, a reverse mortgage often plays a very important role in asset longevity, and when added to other resources can contribute to long-term financial health in the retirement years. If you would like to discuss your financial needs, or those of a loved one, give me a call. I always love hearing from you.

Post 72 went 19-4, made American Legion state finals By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

It began as a typical, laid-back summer baseball season in Warrenton, with no practices and a roster fluctuating based on players’ work and vacation schedules. But it turned into the best American Legion season in Post 72’s history. The Warrenton Post 72 West team finished as the Virginia state runner-up after winning the District 16 regular season and tournament championships en route to a 19-4 final record. With a team composed of players from the Fauquier, Kettle Run, Highland, Battlefield and Brentsville high school districts, Post 72 West earned a state berth for only the second time in

Besides Fauquier and Kettle Run players, “nobody else really knew each other,” Post 72 West coach Kevin Lee said. “I thought it was fun just to see these guys mesh as far as chemistry. We just had a really great roster.”

Post 72 West lost to only two teams all season, falling twice each to Winchester and Vienna. Warrenton went 3-2 in the double-elimination state tournament in Lynchburg despite beginning with a 10-0 loss to Vienna on July 29. Warrenton followed that game with

Hugs for Huggy’s amazing feat Green was Eagles’ first state wrestling champ By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Huggy Green made history in 1995, soaring to state glory at 145 pounds.

Vernon “Huggy” Green gave Liberty a bear hug of an athletic feat in its first year. Green strung together five straight wins to take the 145-pound wrestling title at the Group AA championships. Green’s win was eye-opening. He placed second in both the district and regional meets before peaking at states. After winning his opening two bouts, he took center stage for a semifinal showdown against Grundy’s Kevin Large before a significant audience at Salem Civic Center. At the time, Grundy dominated AA state wrestling, and the team’s perceived arrogance and multiple of unsportsmanlike incidents meant every non-Grundy fan rooted for the opposition, so Green had the masses in his corner when he stepped on the mat. Green utilized the charged atmosphere immediately, pinning Large in only 75 seconds. “When Huggy pinned the Grundy kid, the place just went bananas, and so did he,” Liberty head coach Jim Raines told the Fauquier Times-Democrat. Green “was so pumped up he could have dunked a basketball. It was a great match to witness.” Green then downed Chris Lukanich of Brookville 5-2 for gold. Liberty’s Matt Green was the district’s 152-pound champion and placed at states, taking sixth.

FAST FACT

Warrenton Post 72 played the state tournament at City Stadium in Lynchburg, the same host for the tournament in 1986, when coach Kevin Lee actually played for Post 72. “That was cool thing about it,” Lee said of the return trip. three consecutive victories to advance to the championship game. That run began with a 5-1 win over McLean Post 270 as Brentsville graduate Posey (George Mason University) struck out 11 and allowed only one run on five hits and two walks over 6 1/3 innings. “It’s an elimination game and he threw great,” Lee said. Warrenton then beat Lynchburg Post 16 8-6 before defeating Leesburg Post 34 10-3 to advance to the championship game. Against Vienna, Post 72 West fell behind 4-0 but closed the score to 4-3 before losing 6-4. Post 72 West was composed largely of rising-freshmen and -sophomore college players, giving See LEGION, page 18

Modliszewski shined in Eagles’ rough spring

Liberty’s spring successes in 1995 were dominated by track. Freshman running sensation Jennifer Modliszewski, who later ran at N.C. State, won district gold in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters. Terri Williams took the 110 high and 300 low hurdles, while Dan Russek took the boys 400 meters. In the Region II meet, Jeremy Peyton cleared 6 feet, 6 inches to win the high jump. Modliszewski (1,600) and Williams (110 hurdles) also won gold. Peyton won boys high jump bronze at states. The combined record for baseball, softball, boys and girls soccer and boys and girls tennis was 11-72.

25 YEARS LATER: A LOOK AT LIBERTY’S FIRST SPORTS SEASON

A slam dunk in Year One By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Liberty was a team to be feared in boys and girls basketball in its debut year in 1994. Playing in the fall, the Eagle girls went 19-6, finishing second to Loudoun Valley in the Northwestern District championship game. In Region II play, Liberty edged Culpeper, 4543, in the quarterfinals before R.E. Lee (Staunton) ended the season with a 66-45 decision. Key players were Terri Williams, Tiffany Lewis and Marie Washington. Roger Lee, then assistant principal and later principal, feels the early success registered by Ellen Ebersbach’s first girls basketball team uplifted the entire school and community. “Football always is going to be your bell weather, but no one expected us to do anything in football,” Lee said. “I think girls basketball helped to generate the school spirit and sense of pride that first year.” Ebersbach, now Ellen Allen, went 253-93 during the Eagles' first 14 years as a program, spanning the 1994-95 season through 2007-08. She’s now Kettle Run’s girls basketball coach.

Marshall dunks off opening tip

Kevin Marshall scored the Eagles first-ever points only four seconds into the boys basketball opener versus Warren County, a 77-66 Liberty win. “We won the tip, made a pass and Kevin slammed home a dunk,” Jerry Carter, Liberty’s activities director at the time, recalled. “That was a neat way to open the program.” Along the way, the team also was the champion

Star Terri Williams scored 384 points and had 290 rebounds in Liberty’s breakout first year in 1994. of the Fauquier Times-Democrat Winter Classic, 66-61, over Courtland. Daron Tapscott later broke a 30-year old county record by scoring 49 points in a single game. The former record was 40 set by Fauquier’s Carlton Wine in 1964, the school’s first season. Coached by Paul Frye, the Eagle boys put together a late-season run to reach the district title game. Seeded fourth, the squad upset No. 1 Warren County, 77-73, in the semifinals, but fell, 8776 to Handley in the finals. Courtland was a 72-48 regional quarterfinal victor, as Liberty posted a 15-9 mark.

Eagle Daron Tapscott scored 49 points against James Wood in 1994. Also on the team was Greg Stroman, whose son is now a Washington Redskin.

Jacoby joins LHS football staff

Off the fields and courts, Liberty made news, in March, 1995 when former Washington Redskin great Joe Jacoby agreed to become part of the Eagle football staff the next fall. Jacoby was a county resident at the time and owned the JeepChrysler dealership just outside Warrenton.

How budget shortfalls haunted Liberty its first year in 1994 By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Liberty’s first school year in 1994-95 was marred by an incomplete football stadium and other field issues. The root dates back to 1987 when county residents voted “no” on a $30 million referendum that included funding for a new high school in the

southern end. Despite the measure failing, student enrollments rose and the issue remained hot. In 1990, a 30-member citizens’ task force recommended a $32 million bond referendum to build the new school and renovate many existing schools, including Fauquier High. Worried the second try also might

fail because of the public’s growing negative sentiments on rising taxes, the requested bond was cut to less than $24 million. The revised bond went to vote Nov. 5, 1991 and passed easily, 7,342-3,217. Construction went forward and Liberty opened in the fall of 1994. Outdoor athletic facilities were among the items slashed.

Original estimates included $600,000 for the construction of football stadium stands, press box, concession stand, restrooms and the playing surface. The thought was funding for those items could be located once the bond issue had passed, but that monetary search proved to be substantially more difficult than anticipated.

We’re not about over-coaching or grinding too much.” The relaxed atmosphere, however, didn’t keep Warrenton from advancing to the state championship game, which Vienna Post 180 won at City Stadium in Lynchburg for the second consecutive summer. “These guys had a great year,” Lee said of his players, “and had a great time doing it.” They improved greatly after finishing last summer with a 5-9 record, which followed a 9-4 record in 2017, when they ended as the District 16 runner-up. Last season, Post 72 West often struggled to assemble more than a nine-player starting lineup, but plenty of healthy players turned out this summer. In fact, Warrenton decided to field two teams with its Post 72 East team

Warrenton’s East team had more current high school players than the West and finished with a 3-10 record. “Their record did not reflect how good of a team they were,” Lee said. “A lot of those guys were first-year legion guys ... and some of them were still playing their travel showcase schedules,” which divided their time between different summer teams. Post 72 West also had its typical

scheduling conflicts, but the team usually had at least 13 of its 18 players available for a game. “A lot of these guys depend on the money they make over the summer to help with their college educations,” Lee said. “But they were really good communicating with me about when they weren’t going to be there.” So Warrenton excelled despite playing as many as five games in four days some weeks. “That will tax your arms,” Lee said, “but I had plenty of pitching on the roster.” Warrenton finished with an outstanding 2.94 team ERA, led by a 1.19 from Posey. He finished 5-0 with 45 strikeouts and a 1.15 WHIP. Going 3-1 each were Fauquier grad-

uate Cameron Lee (2.30 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 23 strikeouts) and Kettle Run graduate Nate Mabe (3.74, 1.48, 17). Fauquier graduate Carson McCusker went 2-0 with a 2.39 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 23 strikeouts. Kettle Run graduate Zach Ewald added a 3-0 record with a 5.79 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 20 strikeouts. Offensively, Battlefield graduate Carter Cunningham led Post 72’s regular batters with a 1.319 OPS, .491 average, 19 RBIs, 10 doubles and two triples, adding 20 runs. “He’s a great first baseman; a great hitter,” Kevin Lee said. “And he’s really not a pitcher, but he was kind of a stopgap for us.” Blaze O’Saben, a former Fauquier High shortstop, played outfield for Post 72 after recently switching to that position for the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. He finished this summer with a 1.137 OPS, .381 average, 13 RBIs, 10 runs and six doubles. Kettle Run graduate Caden DeCroo added a 1.021 OPS, .381 average, 30 runs, 20 walks, 12 RBIs and five doubles, while Brentsville graduate Sam Beard had a 1.018 OPS, 4.13 average, 13 RBIs, and four doubles. “Just a fantastic ball player,” Lee said. Battlefield rising senior Peter Benavides, 72 West’s lone current high school player this summer, finished with a .994 OPS, .375 average, 14 RBIs, eight runs and four doubles. “And he’s just a fantastic defensive catcher,” Lee said.

A sad song from the past: Blind Tom 19th century musical prodigy once lived in Fauquier By John Toler

Associate Editor

The story of musical prodigy Thomas Wiggins “Blind Tom” Bethune (1849-1908), who once lived near Warrenton, is unusual by any standard – and ultimately very sad. His biographer, Geneva H. Southall, aptly described Tom’s life in the subtitle of her book, “Blind Tom: The Post-Civil War Enslavement of a Black Musical Genius.” Born blind on a plantation in Harris County, Georgia, Tom and his enslaved parents, Domingo and Charity Wiggins, were sold to Gen. James N. Bethune (1803-1895), a Columbus, Georgia, lawyer, newspaper owner and states’ rights advocate who gave the child his last name. Because of his disability, Tom could never perform the tasks demanded of enslaved workers. In addition, he was a temperamental and hyperactive child who was unable to care for himself. However, when exposed to the sounds of a piano played by Bethune’s daughter, Mary, by age 4, he had acquired by ear basic musical skills and could mimic the works of others after hearing them just one time. Within a year, Tom composed his first tune, “The Rain Storm,” in which he translated the sounds of a torrential rain on a tin roof into a pleasing piano piece. While deprived of sight, Tom had an extraordinary talent for repeating sounds – just about any kind of sound – and he could repeat the conversations of others like a recording device, including the tones and inflections that he heard. Far from being a “simpleton,” or “half-wit,” Tom

Bethune recognized Tom’s amazing talents, and he was moved to a room attached to the house and given the use of a piano, where he would often play for more than 12 hours a day. In the years before the Civil War, Bethune hired Tom out to Perry Oliver, a concert promoter who took him on tours across the United States. His stage performance was unique, to say the least. He always referred to himself in the third person, inserted the mimicked voices of famous people in his introductions and often punctuated his comments with nature sounds. Crudely marketed by Oliver in the beginning more as a “circus freak,” audiences were more impressed than curious regarding Tom’s unique talent. In 1860, at age 11, he performed at the White House for President James Buchanan – and was the first African American invited to do so. During the Civil War, Tom did limited touring in the South. One of his best-known works was “The Battle of Manassas,” composed after the Confederate victory there in 1861. One of his remarkable feats during this time was to play three musical pieces at once: “Fisher’s Hornpipe” with one hand, “Yankee Doodle” with the other, while singing “Dixie,” all simultaneously. When the war was over, in 1866, Bethune took Tom on a European concert tour, earning testimonials from other artists, including pianist Ignaz Moscheles and conductor Charles Hallé. When asked how he could play so well, he answered simply, “God taught Tom.”

A happy life in Warrenton

Bethune’s son Joseph served in

“Blind Tom” at the piano. He had a repertoire of more than 7,000 songs, including about 100 that he composed himself.

“I also remember the excitement of being taken to see and hear the man of whom we had heard our mother so often speak. Blind Tom was perhaps one of the greatest musicians of his time.”

the Confederate Army and spent some time in Warrenton, according to M. Louise Evans (1887-1966) in a story published in the July 13, 1950, edition of The Fauquier Democrat. “Joseph was so well pleased with the fertility of the land and the picturesque scenery in and around Warrenton that when he arrived home in Georgia, he implored his father to come to this section and buy a tract of land,” she wrote. In May 1869, Joseph bought the 309-acre property on The Springs Road known today as Elway Hall from James W. James for $45 per acre. Two months later, Joseph sold Elway to his father for the same price, and the general moved to Fauquier. Sons John and James soon followed. John brought Tom up from Georgia, and James (1844-1923) later joined the family in Fauquier, where he had a farm along Carter’s Run. American author Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was impressed with Tom and attended his performances whenever the opportunity arose. He recalled Tom’s life over the 20 years he spent summers at Elway in “Following the Equator,” published in 1897. “Tom spent the summers in between concert tours on the Virginia

estate, often in the company of the Bethune grandchildren. He loved the Virginia farm life at Elway and was happiest dressed in simple trousers and a flannel undershirt, which were more comforting to him than formal performance dress,” wrote Twain. “Daily sounds of farm machinery brought him pleasure. After one trip to the fields riding in a buggy behind a reaper, he returned to the house and composed a piece titled ‘The Reaper,’ which he dedicated to one of the Bethune grandsons. “Septembers on the farm always signaled the return of the concert season, and the appearance of his concert manager.” This was always a difficult, emotional time for Tom, who never wanted to leave Elway. Only through much cajoling and flattery was he on the road again.” When on tour, Tom consistently played to packed houses, and his manager was often asked to add concert dates or return to perform.

Follow the artist Mosby Heritage Area Association offers ‘Art of War: The Civil War-Era Sketches by James E. Taylor’ Staff Reports The Mosby Heritage Area Association recently announced a bus tour following the famous Civil War-era sketches by James E. Taylor. It will be held Saturday, Aug. 24, starting from MHAA headquarters, 1461 Atoka Road, Marshall. As Union forces advanced into the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, they were accompanied by James E. Taylor, a sketch artist working for Leslie’s Illustrated. During his time with Sheridan’s army, Taylor brought the war to life with his detailed sketches that covered all aspects of military life and the sur-

rounding countryside. The bus tour will follow in the path of the artist. “We will visit some of the locations sketched by Taylor and compare how much these views have changed since 1864,” said association president Jennifer Worcester Moore. Artists are welcome to bring along a sketch pad and try their hand at recreating these scenes as they appear today. The bus departs the MHAA office at 9 a.m. and returns by 3:15 p.m. Lunch at Macado’s restaurant in Winchester is included. During the Civil War the restaurant was the Taylor Hotel, which is one of the

A sad song from the past: Blind Tom TOM, from page 21 As a child growing up in North Carolina, Evans, along with her sister Ida (1886-1965) and their mother Lizzie Jordan Evans (1860-1931), attended a concert Tom performed at the Wilmington Opera House. “What I recall was ‘Blind Tom’s’ costume, an odd type of jacket – not the prescribed evening clothes,” said Ev-

ans. “I don’t recall too much about the concert other than the clapping, which the musician started himself, and of course he was joined by his audience. “I also remember the excitement of being taken to see and hear the man of whom we had heard our mother so often speak. Blind Tom was perhaps one of the greatest musicians of his time.” After the Evans family moved to Warrenton in 1904, Evans, a War-

renton native, became close friends with James and Narcissa Bethune, who lived in a house on Main Street.

Legal problems arise

An earlier arrangement had been made with Tom’s parents that Bethune would have custody of Tom until age 21, providing him room and board and $20 a month, and the parents would receive $500 a year plus food and shelter. After age 21, Bethune had Tom declared legally insane, and appointed himself his legal guardian, effectively continuing the profitable relationship. John Bethune was put in charge of Tom’s professional affairs in 1875, and the next eight years were spent on U.S. tours, including summers spent in New York. In 1882, John married Eliza Stutzbach, who ran the boarding house where they stayed. After John was gone for eight months on tour, Eliza sued for divorce, claiming she had been deserted. But before the divorce was finalized, John was killed in a railway accident in February 1884. His will banned Eliza from any inheritance, calling her a “heartless adventuress who sought to absorb my estate.” This led to a long, drawn-out legal battle over who would manage Tom’s performances – and reap the large proceeds generated by his concert appearances. It has been estimated that the Bethune family made $750,000 while they owned, and later exploited, his business affairs. At first, control of Tom reverted to Bethune, but this was soon challenged by Eliza, who brought Tom’s mother Charity – who he hardly knew – into the dispute in a thinly veiled attempt to establish custody. This dragged on until July 1887, when a federal court ordered Bethune to surrender Tom to Eliza and Charity. Within a month, Eliza took over Tom’s concert schedule, promoting him as “… the last slave set free by order of the Supreme Court of the United States,” and performing under his father’s surname as “Thom-

When Eliza failed to live up to her commitments to Charity, she returned to Georgia. Bethune died on Feb.13,1895, and was buried in Georgia. Elway was sold by his heirs in 1899 to Baldwin Day Spilman for $7,014.30. His rambling stone house on the property known as Elway Hall was completed in 1908. Eliza married her attorney, Albrecht Lerche, and managed Tom’s career -– which included vaudeville acts as well as concerts – until his health began to fail in 1904. Tom died at Eliza’s home in Hoboken, New Jersey, on June 14, 1908. The headline in the New York Times read, “Blind Tom, Pianist, Dies of a Stroke – a Child All His Life.” Mark Twain was more circumspect about Tom, stating that while he lived, “Some archangel, cast out of upper Heaven, inhabits this coarse casket, and he comforts himself and makes his prison beautiful with thoughts and dreams and memories of another time… It is not Blind Tom that does these wonderful things and plays this wonderful music – it is the other party.” Reach John Toler at jtoler@fauquier.com

We’re all family Hero’s Bridge provides veterans with plenty of support Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

When Hero’s Bridge received a call from Quantico about a veteran needing help, the nonprofit quickly mobilized. A Vietnam Army veteran was relocating from Woodbridge to Front Royal and, with no family in the area, he needed help moving. The call was received on July 22 and less than two weeks later, he and his service cat, Thor, were settled in their new home -- thanks to more than 30 civilian, active and retired military volunteers who stepped up to help him. Upon receiving the call, Katherine Knoble, Hero’s Bridge volunteer coordinator, quickly secured a moving truck and began assembling volunteers that included Army and Air Force cadets, hospital corpsmen, commissary men, Hero’s Bridge volunteers and their family members.  Volunteers that day share many of the same reasons for lending their time: Lt. Col. Haines comes from a family of military officers going back many generations. “My family members have contributed and sacrificed to make this country the

amazing country that it is today. I try to capitalize on opportunities to give back [and] challenge everyone to attend an engagement event of Hero’s Bridge to see the impact it has on veterans.” Haines, who helped with moving, retired from 20 years and 22 days of Army service on Aug. 1.  For HM2 Poimboeuf of the United States Navy, “Hero’s Bridge is important because it helps veterans know that the community has not forgotten them or their service. As an active-duty sailor coming from a military family, it is important that I serve my veterans because they are still my brothers and sisters at arms.” Virginia Tech ROTC Army Cadet Jason Stebein volunteers his time with Hero’s Bridge because “as a future Army officer, it is an excellent opportunity to be able to give back to those individuals who served our country and reflect on their stories and experiences so I can use their knowledge when I become an Army officer.”

Twenty-one volunteers met at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 4 at Clifford Timchak’s Woodbridge home where they packed the contents of his one-bedroom apart-

Hero’s Bridge co-founder Molly Brooks was onsite to help with Clifford Timchak’s move.

Community champions needed Just Ask Trafficking Prevention Foundation launches new program

Staff Reports

Want to be in movies?

Staff Reports The Just Ask Trafficking Prevention Foundation launched a new community partnership initiative known as the Just Ask Champion program on Tuesday, July 30. "We developed our monthly donor campaign called Just Ask Champion as a way for people to be able to engage in a more meaningful and consistent way with us," said Jacquelin Pinilla, director of strategic partnerships and outreach and awareness programs manager. "The Just Ask Champion’s program is for members of the community who know they want to help, but they might not know how to. Since we are a nonprofit, financial support is always welcome and needed."  As a Just Ask Champion, you are committing to help provide our life-saving programs to those that need it most, our children and those that serve them. You are actively contributing

Ethan Hawke series “The Good Lord Bird” seeks extras

Just Ask Prevention Executive Director Bill Woolf (center) was joined by several dozen community members at the Fauquier Bank Plaza in Warrenton where he officially launched the new program on July 30. to safeguarding your community and others around the world who are at-risk for trafficking. You are championing the cause to end human trafficking,” said Pinilla. “We need champions within the community that are willing to pledge their support to eradicate human trafficking,” said Bill Woolf, Just Ask executive director.  “The Just Ask Champion program is vital to ensure that we are able to continue our mission to protect children and ensure communities are free from human trafficking.” As either an individual or a business, you can commit at

the following levels: Bronze at $25+/month; Silver at $50+/ month; Gold at $100+/month; Platinum $500+/month; Sapphire $1000+/month; and Ruby $2000+/month. The Ruby level will be an exclusive opportunity, available to only two champions.  Woolf added, “building on the African proverb, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ we believe that if communities join together in this fight, then we will indeed be successful in eradicating human trafficking, but it requires someone to lead the charge. It takes a champion.” To learn more, visit www. justaskprevention.org.

The Showtime series "The Good Lord Bird" starring Ethan Hawke is looking for paid extras who will work as standins, doubles and in nonspeaking roles. The show will be told from the point of view of Onion, an enslaved teenager who ETHAN HAWKE joins abolitionist John Brown, eventually participating in the famous 1859 raid on the Army depot at Harpers Ferry. Hawke will star as 19th-century abolitionist John Brown. Stand-ins and photo doubles for Onion are needed, as well as amputees and men with horseback riding skills. The show will film in Powhatan through November. For more information, visit www. carolgrantcasting.com.

Simple and Complex Estates OPEN EMOTION When attending a funeral that features an open casket, visitors should prepare to view the body of the deceased. While there is no obligation to approach the casket, many find that viewing the body provides a chance to say a prayer or a final goodbye to the deceased. Understandably, some people become emotional when viewing the body. For anyone who wants to view the body but is afraid of becoming overwhelmed, it may be best to approach the casket with another person. Otherwise, those who are initially reluctant to view the body may find themselves growing more comfortable with the idea in an atmosphere where others so readily accept the practice as a means of gaining closure. The body of the deceased will often look different from how the person looked in life. If you are uncomfortable with an open casket, there is no obligation to view the body. The funeral is an experience of value and when properly planned can provide lasting satisfaction and comfort to the survivors. Our funeral service family can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details and will explain all of the available options. To learn more about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton. “When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” Kahlil Gibran
