Jury delivers guilty verdict, life sentence in CVS murder

By Leland Schwartz

On Fauquier.com — The murder of Rex Olsen: one night from several views

Times Staff Writer

A jury recommended life in prison last week for Bernard Duse Jr., the former CVS employee they found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2017 shooting death of his former boss, Rex Mack Olsen.

The life sentence exceeds the state’s minimum 20-year sentence on the murder charge. The jury also recommended a three-year sentence on a weapons charge related to the murder.

Both verdicts were unanimous.

The jury of seven men and five women delivered the recommendation after hearing testimony from both Olsen’s and Duse’s families.

Olsen, of Culpeper, was 64 when he was killed on July 26, 2017. Duse is 77.

Before recommending a sentence to the judge, the jury listened intently to family members who spoke about the losses they suffered as a result of Olsen’s death.

Olsen’s 37-year-old son, Hans, whose birthday is on the day his father was killed, said the family always got together on holidays, which would never again “feel right.”

“It’s been rough,” he told the jury. “I don’t even know how to describe it.”

Olsen’s other son, 30-year-old Colin, said his fa-

“I don’t have a dad anymore,” he told the jury.

Olsen’s wife, Julia, said the family had a “very happy, contented life. We were very, very blessed.”

“Now I have to figure out how I am going to exist for the next 30 to 40 years without my partner,” she said.

“I know things will be OK,” she told the jury.

“But things should not be this way.”

Duse’s niece, Fonda, told the jury her uncle was her surrogate father, as her dad was murdered in 1970. “He’s everything to me,” she said, describing Duse as “compassionate.”

She said Duse thought her “how to brighten someone’s day” and how “to leave people in a better condition than when you met them.”

Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Fisher told the jury to take into account, while deciding on a recommended sentence, that the “act of murder was premeditated, lying in wait.”

“On that factor alone,” Fisher said, “I would argue that you consider the most stringent punishment.”

“It was a robbery,” Fisher said. Olsen was “robbed of the best years of his life; the family robbed of the joy of having a father.”

During the five-day trial, which began July 30, Duse claimed he did not kill Olsen and was not in Warrenton when Olsen was shot dead near the dumpster behind the CVS pharmacy on Blackwell Road.

Lydia Ghergis, the 10-year-old girl killed Wednesday, Aug. 1, when a tree crashed into her Warrenton home, is being remembered as a “beautiful and kind girl who was the embodiment of the phrase, ‘full of life,’” according to a GoFundMe page set up for her family.

“It is with a heavy and broken heart that we are starting this Go Fund Me page for Beth and Casey,” the page organizer wrote, referring to Lydia’s parents, Beth and Lydia Ghergis Casey James.

“Her smile and laugh were contagious and she always had a twinkle in her eyes.”

The page had raised more than $53,000 from more than 800 donors by the weekend.

Lydia played softball and was a student at Gravely Elementary School in Gainesville. Her mother, Beth James, was a bus driver for Prince William County schools.

Jury delivers guilty verdict, life sentence in CVS murder VERDICT from page 1 Prosecutors said the evidence shows Duse, the store’s operations manager, shot Olsen and said the murder was “the culmination of a year and a half of bitter litigation.”

Duse was undergoing arbitration with CVS after he claimed he was denied a promotion because of his age.

The jurors listened to 90 minutes of closing arguments Friday, Aug. 3.

Fauquier County Circuit Court Judge Herman A. Whisenant Jr. told the jurors that to find Duse guilty they had to believe beyond a reasonable doubt he killed Olsen in a malicious act that was willful and pre-meditated.

Fisher, who prosecuted the case, told the jury Duse committed “a planned assassination” and “invented” the two “sensational people” Duse blamed for the shooting.

“He is the one with the greatest incentive to come up with a fanciful story,” Fisher told the jury, referring to Duse’s testimony two men he at an Alexandria-area library — one named “Luther” and the other “Scatter” — who borrowed his car the night Olsen was killed.

Duse said the men were angered after hearing Duse recount how he was unjustly passed over for the supervisor’s job at a CVS in Manassas and sent back to work at the Warrenton

store. In his cross-examination, Fisher questioned the notion that two men Duse barely knew would kill Olsen.

Fisher also asked why Duse didn’t tell police he thought the men who borrowed his car “were the true killers.”

“I still don’t know who the true killers are,” Duse said.

Duse’s defense attorney, John F. Carroll, told the jury that to convict his client, the prosecution had to prove “he pulled the trigger,” something Carroll said, is “just not there.”

The gun used in the shooting was never found.

Carroll said the prosecution conducted “a rush to judgment” and nev-

er pursued a “goldmine of evidence” after deciding that “they knew they had their man.”

For instance, Carroll said, investigators never checked Duse’s car for DNA other than his despite Duse saying he had loaned the vehicle to the two men the day of the murder.

Carroll said Duse’s DNA, found by prosecutors in one of Olsen’s pockets, could have been transferred from things they shared at work, such as keys, the bank-deposit bag or the cash register.

Most of all, Carroll argued, one witness said on four occasions that after hearing gunfire he saw “a white guy” standing over Olsen behind the CVS from his vantage point outside the Ruby Tuesday’s restaurant.

Duse is African American.

A formal sentencing hearing for “It was a very large tree that came Duse has been scheduled for Oct. 17.

Reach Leland Schwartz at down on the corner of the house,” Mylschwartz@fauquier.com ers said.

An initial report indicated there were two children in the house, but it was determined that only one child and her parents were present, Myers said.

“The tree was stabilized using hydraulic struts than can hold thousands of pounds,” Myers explained. “It stopped the crushing and stabilized the tree so that we could figure out how compromised the house was. It was fairly stable,” Myers said.

The response units were on the Now in the Lifestyle scene from 10:31 p.m. until the final section — Page 25 one left at 2:13 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 2.

10-year-old girl killed by fallen tree remembered as ‘beautiful, kind’ GIRL from page 1 It’s not known exactly why the large tree fell onto the James’ home and into Lydia’s bedroom, pinning her onto her bed. The tree might have been struck by lightning, or it might have given way because the ground was so saturated with rain.

“Trees have been coming down” due to ground saturation from frequent and heavy rainfall, said Sam Myers, an assistant chief of the Warrenton Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.

He noted that a woman was killed in Burke last week by a falling tree.

The split-foyer home, in the 6200

block of Highmeadow Place in the Cedar Run subdivision, was purchased

by Bethany and Casey James in June, according to Fauquier County tax records.

The 911 call was made by a neighbor at about 10:25 p.m. Warrenton fire and rescue officials were on the scene in about six minutes. The girl was pronounced dead at the scene, according to reports from the sheriff’s office and fire department.

The responding units had cutting and prying equipment. A squad from the Gainesville fire and rescue station in Prince William County arrived with additional equipment, Myers said.

‘They’re basically water scorched’

By Vicky Moon and Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writers

The torrential rains soaking Northern Virginia over the last few weeks are wreaking some havoc with farmers, orchardists and winemakers in and around Fauquier County.

Still, some say it hasn’t been a total washout, though a heavy splash of sustained sunshine would be much appreciated.

“Right now, it’s terrible, and if your young crops were planted after a lot of rain in May, it’s been a disaster,” said Jimmy Messick, a longtime Fauquier farmer who also operates Messick’s Farm Market in Bealeton.

“I guess it’s OK if your crops had already been maturing. But overall, there’s just been too much rain. Your seeds will drown. Before all this, I had the best stand of pumpkins I’ve had in a long time, but now they’re turning yellow because of the water. They’re basically water-scorched.”

Messick said he’s planted vegetables throughout the growing season. “We’ve been trying to do progressive planting all the way through the first frost, so we’ll still be all right.”

According to the National Weather Service, 11.21 inches of rain fell in the Northern Virginia area in July, shredding the previous record, posted just last year, of 8.08 inches.

The rain has continued into the first week of August, making it difficult to get into the fields to weed, operate tractors and harvest maturing crops.

“Growers are very frustrated by all this rain,” said Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension Agent Timothy Ohlwiler, based in Warrenton.

“Fruit will split with too much water,” said Ohlwiler, who specializes in horticulture. “There are many fungal infections that come in because of all this water. And the growers cannot get in

and work their fields to manage weeds, or spray because it just keeps raining and it’s so wet.”

“It’s definitely making a mess out there,” said Jose Medina at Santa Cruz Produce in Montross.

“A lot of the stuff that’s ready to pick right now is just bad. The good news is, we do have some new stuff that’s still coming up so it’s not a total loss, but it’s definitely not good.”

“Tomatoes and peppers are the biggest problem. There’s just too much water,” he added. “It puts spots on them. They get soft in the wrong places. Right now, we could use a lot of sun. That would be a big help.”

The wet summer of ‘two thousand hate-teen’

At Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, vineyard owner Chris Pearmund has been making wine for 30 years and vividly remembers some of the worse ones. He refers to 1996 as “nineteen ninety-sucks” and to 2018 as “two thousand hate-teen.”

But he’s seen it all before and believes his operation can literally weather the storm.

“Grapes like to have dry feet,” he said. “They like loose, dry soils, higher elevations. This spring and summer, we’ve had three feet of rain out here in seven weeks. That’s the annual rainfall for a year, and it still hasn’t stopped. Just this week we’ve had 5 1/2 inches. You cannot grow grapes with that much water.”

Pearmund said production is sure to be lower this year, as it has been in previous years of challenging weather.

“It was also difficult in 2011, but I was prepared for it,” he said. “I made less than half the wine I normally would have made. This year I’ll make less wine again, but it will be quality. Right now, our inventory is strong, so we’ll just make less. The only silver lining would be for a very young vineyard. The vines can thrive, but it’s definitely not

Local farmers, vintners lament record-breaking rain

going to be a good year for production for anyone.”

At Slater Run Vineyards in Upperville, Chris Patusky said there has been some fruit damage, “but not significant” on their 12 acres of vines. He and his wife, Kiernan Slater, who own and operate the vineyard, are mostly concerned about fungus and mildew, which are exacerbated by the rain.

“They need sun, because it’s a good sanitizer,” he said. “I still think if we can get some sun the rest of the month, we’ll be all right.”

‘A beautiful crop of peaches’ at Williams Orchard

At Williams Orchard in Flint Hill, owner Eddie Williams said the rain has “been a challenge to get everything done on time.”

“But we’ve got a beautiful crop of peaches right now and people need to come up here and grab them,” he said. “I’ve got three good men working here, and they’ve done a great job in keeping these peaches healthy.”

“Rain can get you some rot, but it hasn’t happened here,” he added. “We’ve kept them sprayed, the trees have been pruned and the fruit looks really good. Our apples will be just fine. They’re sizing up pretty good right now.”

Williams Orchard has 35 acres in apples and 5 in peaches. Williams said he’s been working in his family’s orchard for 50 years, since the age of 12.

“This is my livelihood, not my hobby,” he said.

“It’s what I depend on to take care of my family and the people who work for me. And I tell you what, this is 10 times better than having a drought.

Sure people will complain about the rain, but life is not perfect.”

“You just tell people to come on out here,” he added. “We’re proud of what we’ve got.”

Warrenton handyman wins top prize in Virginia Lottery scratcher game Staff Reports For two months, Fred Dove had a secret. The Warrenton man had a “20X the Money” ticket from the Virginia Lottery in his possession worth $1 million.

“I was so excited, but I needed to plan,” Dove told Virginia Lottery officials when he finally redeemed his winning ticket. “I needed to get my thoughts together.”

Not only that, but Dove, who is self-employed as a service handyman, was busy completing a contract for some clients and didn’t want to return until the job was done, according to a Virginia Lot-

Fred Dove tery press release issued Friday morning.

He had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or

a one-time cash option of $657,030 before taxes. He chose the latter, the press release said.

Dove bought his ticket at New Baltimore Shell, 5021 Lee Highway in Warrenton. The store receives a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery for selling the winning ticket, the press release said.

Dove told lottery officials he has no immediate plans for his winnings, but he said he “may treat himself at some point,” the press release said.

Dove is the fourth and final person to claim the top prize in “20X the Money,” which means the game is being closed. It’s the Virginia Lottery’s policy to close scratcher

games as soon as the final top prize is claimed.

The chances of winning the $1 million top prize in this game were 1 in 1,162,800. The chances of winning any prize were 1 in 3.52.

Fauquier County Public Schools received more than $2 million in lottery funds for K-12 education last fiscal year, the press release said.

The Lottery generates more than $1.6 million per day for Virginia’s K-12 public schools. Operating entirely on revenue from the sale of Lottery products, the Lottery generated more than $600 million for Virginia’s public schools in fiscal 2018.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PETITION OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION GRID TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS PURSUANT TO § 56-585.1 A 6 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2018-00100 On July 24, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed a petition with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for approval of a plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects (“Petition”) pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6(“Subsection A 6”) of the Code of Virginia.

Specifically, Dominion seeks approval of the first three years (“Phase I”) of its ten-year Grid Transformation Plan (“GT Plan’). The estimated total proposed investment associated with Phase I is $816.3 million in capital investment and $101.5 million in operations and maintenance investment. Pursuant to Subsection A 6, the Commission is required to issue its final order on the Petition within six months of the filing date.

The Company states that Phase I will focus on seven components of the overall GT Plan including: (i) smart meters; (ii) customer information platform; (iii) reliability and resilience; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber and physical security; (vi) predictive analytics; and (vii) emerging technology. The Company proposes to fully deploy smart meters and their supporting network infrastructure across its service territory, which the Company asserts is a foundational component of the GT Plan. During Phase I, the Company estimates that it will install approximately 1 4 million smart meters across its service territory.

The Company also proposes to develop and deploy a new customer information platform (“CIP”) to replace its twenty-year-old customer information system.

The Company asserts that the CIP will be a framework of technologies and applications that together deliver comprehensive customer information and streamlined transactions, as well as multi-channeled engagement between Dominion and its customers. The CIP will include, among other things, a customer information system supporting processes such as metering, billing, credit, service orders, and revenue reporting.

The Company states that to improve reliability and resilience, the Company proposes to (i) deploy intelligent grid devices; (ii) implement operations and automated control systems; (iii) perform grid hardening activities; and (iv) implement physical security measures at certain substations. The Company also states that it proposes to deploy a foundational, forward-looking telecommunications strategy and solution as a critical and interdependent component of the GT Plan, m addition to a comprehensive strategy for predictive analytics.

The Company states that it will also monitor emerging technologies and propose investments where reasonabre and prudent. As part of the Petition, the Company is proposing to begin its Smart Lighting Initiative and to deploy a streamlined net metering application process. Through the Smart Lighting Initiative, the Company states that it intends to mount intelligent grid devices on certain Company-owned streetlights.

The Company asserts that Phase I of the GT Plan is reasonable, prudent, and in the public interest, and states that it will provide benefits to customers in three primary categories: (i) increased reliability and resiliency; (ii) improved customer experience; and (iii) reduced components of cost of service.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this case that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing at 10 a.m. on November 14, 2018, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Buildmg, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive the testimony of public witnesses.

Candidate wants sheriff’s office to pay deputies more, write fewer speeding tickets

By Leland Schwartz

On Fauquier.com — State delegates, senators already raising money for 2019

Times Staff Writer

Chris Cochrane thinks the sheriff’s office should stop spending money on things like new hats and accreditation and instead raise the pay of Fauquier’s 100-plus deputies.

Cochrane, head of security at Highland School and a retired Fairfax County police lieutenant running for sheriff in 2019, also thinks deputies should spend more time conducting preventative police work and less time giving out traffic tickets.

In addition, he contends morale is bad among deputies and that the sheriff’s office does not have a good relationship with most other agencies in the county.

“The partnerships are weak between most entities in the county and the sheriff’s office,” Cochrane said.

Cochrane, 51, also questioned the FCSO’s new drone unit.

A resident of Fauquier for 20 years, Cochrane lives in New Baltimore with his wife, Chantel, a captain in the Fairfax County Police Department, and their three children.

To run as a Republican, Cochrane would first have to challenge Sheriff Bob Mosier (R) for the GOP nomination next year.

Starting pay: More than Culpeper, less than Fairfax, Prince William

Cochrane said if Fauquier deputies were paid better, more local people would apply for the jobs, stay longer and develop deeper connections with the people they serve.

“You have ownership here. Your kids are here.

The schools are here. If you know that something goes bad, and your kids attend that school, that restaurant, the recreation facility, that your friends are potentially there, you’re going to respond to that situation much different than if you have no attachment to it at all,” Cochrane said.

Starting pay for deputies in Fauquier is $43,500, less than the $48,500 their counterparts make in Fairfax, but more than the $35,900 starting deputies make in Culpeper. Prince William deputies start at $47,700.

When Mosier took office in January 2016, starting salary for Fauquier deputies was about $37,000 and the Virginia Sheriffs Association declared a compensation crisis because deputies were on food stamps in parts of the state.

Mosier requested more funding from the county and received $140,000. That boosted starting pay to $41,000 and funded “compression” raises for deputies who had been with the department for years.

As a result of a wider review, additional raises went into effect last month.

Asked about the deputies’ pay status, Mosier acknowledged the county will likely continue to lag behind larger counties in Northern Virginia.

“Are we ever going to make the money Northern Virginia makes? The answer is no,” Mosier said.

Cochrane thinks the answer to better wages lies in eliminating unnecessary spending and redirecting the savings into overtime pay.

“If I worked for the department and knew there was tens of thousands of dollars … spent on hats and potentially hundreds of thousands … spent on accreditation, I’d rather have part of that in my

Chris Cochrane pocket,” Cochrane says.

Cochrane, who led the Fairfax Police Department SWAT team for some time, also charges the FCSO has needlessly increased the amount of speeding and traffic tickets from 6,000 a year in 2016 to 12,000 last year.

“Why write double the amount of tickets when you have limited amount of officers on the street?” he asks. “When you do that, you have no way of doing any kind of pro-active patrol to try to decrease your response times or decrease the overdoses.”

Mosier said the number of traffic violations is a direct result of citizens’ requests for stepped up patrols. “We’re responding to the public’s request for safer roads and that’s what it comes down to,” he said.

Also, Mosier pointed to the eight additional deputy positions added to the department since 2016 as another reason tickets have spiked.

Accreditation, new hats worth the cost?

Cochrane takes particular issue with money spent to achieve accreditation and buy new hats.

“I think the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is run fine. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve never heard anything really, really, bad unless it’s more politics than anything else,” he said. “So why all of a sudden do you need to spend $200,000 or whatever that amount is?” Cochrane asked.

Mosier said the department is accredited by the state at a cost of a few hundred dollars.

“It shows that you’re using best practices in law enforcement” and it helps in applying for grants and getting lower insurance rates, Mosier said.

Cochrane filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the sheriff’s office to see what was spent on accreditation. Mosier responded with copies of two invoices, one from 2016 for $300, and another from 2018 for $280.

In addition to Fauquier and Fairfax counties, the sheriff departments in Loudoun, Prince William and Clark counties are accredited with the state, as is the Warrenton Police Department.

Regarding the new hats, Mosier said they cost $14,000, and were meant to replace the Marine drill sergeant hats considered to be the “most intimidating” that could be used in a citizen encounter.

That “did not resonate with what we wanted to relate to the public from a community policing standpoint,” Mosier added.

The hats, Mosier added, are effective protective gear for the deputies, giving them a large part of their presence.

Being a rural community Fauquier does not have the advantages of densely populated counties where backup could be “one or two minutes away,” Mosier said. Here deputies “might have to wait 15 minutes before you see another deputy sheriff.”

Regarding the drone unit, Mosier said the devices were “totally funded” from drug-arrest seizures and give the deputies “an eye in the sky” that increases their safety in certain operations.

Mosier said while the surrounding counties have a good mutual aid pact, “having resources available within minutes could mean the difference between life and death.”

Butler: ‘Mr. Cochrane has some very bad information’

Cochrane said he decided to run for sheriff because he was approached by people who told him they think he could improve the department.

“I had a set of people who came to me and asked me to run,” Cochrane said. “They said things aren’t going well. Morale’s bad. We’re afraid we’re going to lose officers. The partnerships are weak between most entities in the county and the sheriff’s office.”

Cochrane said he isn’t sure whether that’s true, however, because he doesn’t work in the FCSO or in the county government.

“But that being said, the people that I’ve been talking to are people that I know and people that I trust,” he added.

Asked if Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Fisher was among those who suggested he challenge Mosier, Cochrane said, “I’ve known Jim since Fairfax. When I first started in Fairfax he was there, so I’ve reached out to Jim to talk to him about that and to kind of get his perspective, but that’s been amongst a lot of other people that I have talked to.”

Fisher did not respond to a request for comment.

Cochrane did not mention any of the other people who approached him to run.

Cochrane applied for a job with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office earlier this year but withdrew his application before announcing his intention to run for sheriff, Mosier said.

Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee), meanwhile, said Mosier’s relationship with the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors is good, as evidenced by Mosier’s selection as Citizen of the Year in 2016.

“That should give you an indication of how he holds with this board,” Butler said. “Bob’s been a very fiscally responsible sheriff. He’s done a good job. We worked in unison on this school-security issue around the last budget cycle. Hand-in-hand we came up with this plan. Mr. Cochrane has some very bad information. This board and the sheriff are working very well together.”

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

With social media comes great responsibility • Roseanne Barr loses her successful TV show after tweeting insulting comments about Valerie Jarrett.

• Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations and general manager Bryan Colangelo resigns from the team after his wife admits to establishing and operating anonymous Twitter accounts critical of players, league executives and releasing sensitive team information.

• The New York Times faces criticism for hiring Sarah Jeong to its editorial board after tweets surface critical of white culture (she has claimed her tweets were satirical trolling, and the Times has stuck by her). It was a case of history repeating for the Times, which in February attempted to hire Quinn Norton to the editorial board. After it surfaced she had used gay and racial slurs in tweets and once supported OUR VIEW a neo-Nazi hackers, her employment was terminated in short order.

• Pitcher Josh Hader, Major League Baseball all-star, finds himself apologizing after the game as racist, homophobic and sexist tweets from his account, made when he was 17, surface and start to trend on Twitter during the game. Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner finds himself in a similar situation, apologizing to the LBGT community, African-American community, and special needs community after ugly tweets made when he was a teen come to light. Atlanta pitcher Sean Newcome also comes under fire for racist and homophobic slurs made as a teenager on the popular social media platform.

It seems almost daily there is a reminder that words and activities on social media platforms can not only have dire consequences; they also have a long half life.

Before the Information Age, it was common practice for TV stations to run a public service announcement asking if you knew where your children were in the evening. Times have changed — many children are physically on the couch or in their room, nose buried in a tablet or smartphone — but the question is still valid.

Do you know where they are — on the internet?

YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or whatever else might be the flavor of the month, keeping up with it all can be a harrowing, but necessary task. Obviously, cyberbullying is the first danger that comes to mind, Melania Trump has even made it her key initiative. But, bullying or being bullied isn’t the only concern. Just as important are what is shared and said.

It’s no secret employers and universities have begun using social media profiles to judge the character of potential hires or students.

And the government has long been tracking conversations in social media to evaluate potential threats. The old adage is still true: Nothing shared online is truly private.

By placing information out there, the user loses control over it.

Many social media platforms offer delete functions, but the ability to scrub activities, embarrassing tweets and photos is questionable, at best. So much so, an industry has sprouted up around the task.

And while a deleted post or email may not be visible, it will still exist on a company’s servers for whatever amount of time the company deems necessary. That’s one of the rights it claims in the small type when signing up. So whatever is out there is vulnerable to a security breach. Including social media posts, emails, and text messages. Even Snapchat, popular because snaps disappear after a short time, isn’t completely immune. Users can still take screenshots, and third party apps exist to allow users to save snaps. And it also allows users to save pictures and videos under a passcode.

“Being 17 years old, you know, you make stupid decisions and mistakes,” Hader said. Unfortunately, seven years later, instead of celebrating the greatest moment of his young life, he was standing before his teammates apologizing for those decisions and mistakes.

From driving, to voting, to graduating and moving on to the next stage of life, moving through the school system is all about developing and taking on new responsibilities. With “back to school” just around the corner, a little awareness should go a long way to help avoid some of those decisions and mistakes that can negatively impact lives in years to come.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES During 1983-1984, Dr. Nancy Poehlmann (left) participated in the Warrenton 70001 project, a federally-funded program designed to provide free pre-employment training.

Working with Poehlmann under the program as an assistant at her veterinary clinic was Dee Dee Smith, who joined the staff in November 1983, and soon moved up to full-time employment.

75 Years Ago August 12, 1943 Fourteen-year-old Mary Martin is making a bid for a unique place in the field of journalism in Fauquier as the owner, editor and publisher of the Morrisville Sentinel, the only other newspaper published in the county besides the Democrat. Mary has been publishing the Sentinel for the past two summers, once every two weeks. The first edition appeared on Aug. 14, 1942.

The worst drought since that of 1930 has caused heavy damage to Fauquier County crops, and complicated by last fall’s unusually wet weather is leading the county’s farmers into a dangerous winter feed situation, according to County Agent Walter Nourse.

Sgt. Thomas M. Brown of Calverton, previously missing in action over enemy territory, is reported to be safe and to have returned to active duty. He is an aerial gunner on a B-17 bomber.

50 Years Ago August 15, 1968 A near-drowning last Tuesday afternoon at the Fauquier Swimming Club was averted only by the quick action of a Scout-trained Warrenton teenager.

Steve Farkas, 14, was enjoying a few laps around the pool when he spotted a small boy lying in six feet of water. He got to the boy, pulled him out and began

applying mouth-to-mouth respiration.

Taken to the hospital, six-year-old Tommy Duncan made a full recovery.

Harvey Lee Pearson, Fauquier County’s Clerk for 10 years, was elected president of the Virginia Circuit Court Clerk’s Association at the clerks’ 58th annual convention at the Hotel Roanoke on August 8-10.

James M. Nash Jr. of Warrenton has completed six weeks’ training at Marine Corps Officer Candidate School at Quantico as a member of the Platoon Leaders Class program. He is a junior at the University of Virginia.

25 Years Ago August 11, 1993 Comfortable walking shoes, plenty of deodorant, and a thick skin are absolute musts in the business of Officer Wayne Poole, Warrenton’s parking enforcer. He covers his beat in less than two hours — a fact that works to the dismay of many Warrenton motorists. “I’m hated,” Poole said Tuesday, as he led a reporter and photographer through his daily route.

Fauquier County’s girls basketball team won their fourth consecutive summer league title Monday, defeating Strasburg Monday night in the finals at Handley High School. Marie Washington, who will be a sophomore next season, scored eight points to lead nine Fauquier players.

The wild, wonderful world of…news?

I am newly situated in life to a point where I care about news, be it healthy market-inflation rates versus annual pay-rate increases (we all care about our money, or should), trade tariffs, local elections, or geo-political scandal. This newly discovered news-sphere has it all: drama, tragedy, suspense, outrage, plot twists, red herrings and what seems to be ever-more prevalent: humor.

I have a hard time browsing headlines of any news outlet these

SAWYER GUINN

BEHIND THE CAMERA days and not laughing out loud at one or more of the headlines.

Reading further doesn’t disappoint as it seems reporters have begun

to acknowledge the satirical edge of the stories they’re covering.

Whether it’s conscious or sub, news and entertainment are merging, and though I admit it has made myself and many others more attentive, I fear it’s for the wrong reasons.

As much jovial pain my stomach endured, and as many tears rolled down my face with breath-stealing laughter after reading recent news about “Bigfoot erotica,” I do feel a bit of shame. This is what we’ve come to?

Letters to the Editor

YOUR VIEW

The Fauquier Times welcomes letters to the editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects.

At odds with congressman’s assessment Dear Congressman Wittman,

Here in Virginia, we’re experiencing flooding on a scale previously unknown; across the world, human-rights violations are being committed with every tic of a watch hand; and my headlines are obsessed with the potential plausibility of a sexy bigfoot and, in the margins, ads for paperback harlequin novels involving all sorts of fantastical beasts?

Though the laughs can be a good reminder to not take things too seriously, I want to care about something more important.

Last week I received an email from you with the subject line, “25 ways we’re better off now.”

Do you honestly believe your hype or do you just hope that your constituents do not read or listen to the news?

This morning I awoke to the following news: A child has reportedly died in an ICE detention center (ICE denies this though reports of neglect and abuse in centers is rampant); the House GOP blocked a Democratic bill to extend election security grants; the Senate GOP is refusing to allow Democrats access to records for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s time in the Bush administration (similar records for Elena Kagan were demanded by the GOP and provided by the Democrats); Trump signed a law which will allow the slaughter of Alaskan bear cubs and wolf pups; Trump is consulting with the NRA about allowing the publication of blueprints for 3-D printed guns; an HHS official testified that the administration ignored their warnings that family separation carried “a significant potential for traumatic psychological injury to the child.”; video from Trump’s rally in Florida shows

his supporters, encouraged by the president’s constant defamation of the press, hurled jeers and abuse at reporters; Three Russian journalists were killed in Central Africa while investigating a Russian military company with ties to the Kremlin; and Trump tweeted that Sessions should end the “Rigged Witch Hunt” right now (never mind the dozens of indictments and multiple guilty pleas).

And this is just today’s news.

If I expand to the last few weeks’ news, I could add these stories: This administration is looking at bypassing Congress to give the wealthiest Americans another $100 billion tax break; as a result of the tax scam, wages are stagnant while corporate CEOs are receiving huge payouts; the term “deleted families” has now entered our lexicon; Sessions announced the creation of a “religious freedom task force” (this from the administration that brought us the Muslim ban); although much of the GOP now acknowledges that Russian interference in the 2016 election occurred, they still haven’t stepped up to do anything about potential interference in the 2018 mid-terms; Russia has turned its attention to hacking our power grid while our president refers

to the EU as our “greatest foe”; millions of Americans stand to lose their health insurance due to GOP sabotage of Obamacare; taxpayers are on the hook for a $12 billion payout to farmers thanks to Trump’s poorly thought out trade policies; Flint still doesn’t have potable water and Puerto Rico has yet to have electricity restored but we’re going to spend millions of dollars on Trump’s ego-driven military parade…

Having survived 18 months of the most corrupt presidency in history, I can say that I am better off in one way only. I have met an amazing group of passionate, committed people who are working diligently every day to ensure a massive blue wave in November! After which, we will devote our energy to ensuring that this country regains its humanity and pursues policies of affordable quality health care for all, environmental protection, voter enfranchisement, criminal justice reform, and economic and social justice.

As you are aware, the felony murder trial of Bernard Clark Duse Jr. was held last week in Fauquier County and Mr. Duse was judged guilty of first degree murder and use of a firearm during the murder of my husband Rex Mack Olsen on July 26, 2017 at the CVS on Blackwell Road.

I would like to take the opportunity at this time to acknowledge the hard work, professionalism, dedication and compassion evinced by many people in Warrenton and Fauquier County. During the last year, my family has dealt with great sorrow and change due to Mr. Duse’s choice to kill Rex. Many people were involved in the investigation and evaluation of evidence

to bring this case to trial and Mr. Duse to justice.

My sincere thanks to Lt. Tim Carter of the Warrenton Police along with his fellow officers; to Lori Jones, victim/witness case manager with Fauquier County; to James Fisher, Commonwealth’s Attorney; to Jamey Cook and Abigail Owens of the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office; to Judge Herman A. Whisenant Jr. and his staff; and to many more individuals that had an impact on the investigation, case delivery, and my family. The residents of Fauquier County and the Town of Warrenton should be proud of the men and women of their local government, sheriff and police departments as well as state police.

I also acknowledge the courage and honesty of the witnesses who came forward and were willing to testify in front of Mr. Duse.

In addition, my sincere appreciation to the men and women of the jury. Fourteen citizens fulfilled their duty as they listened to case presentation, evidence, testimony and argument for a week. After the alternate jurors were released, the remaining twelve considered the evidence and made the difficult decision to declare a man guilty, knowing it would likely be a life sentence. I acknowledge their sacrifice and express my gratitude.

A heartfelt thank you to all.

Sincerely,

A heartfelt thank you to the community

FAUQUIER TIMES 2018 WAKEFIELD SCHOOL

ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

HENRY HOLTSLANDER

ALLEGRA SOLARI

The land of Henry: Owl Straight out of Argentina: Fiery Solari was athlete for all seasons powered Owls’ super soccer team

By Josh Dorsey

By Jeff Malmgren

Wakefield School’s Henry Holtslander is carrying the torch for a dying breed, the threesport athlete.

Holtslander, who played basketball, lacrosse and soccer for the Owls, is the Fauquier Times 2018 Wakefield Boys Athlete of the Year.

The king of versatility, he appeared at multiple positions in both basketball and lacrosse, and was a plug-and-play utility man at most positions in soccer.

“Henry being a three-sport athlete was a great help,” said Wakefield basketball coach and athletic director Tee Summers. “No matter what sport he played he was always very

As in many South American countries, soccer serves as Argentina’s premier sport.

So Allegra Solari naturally navigated toward it as a 4-year-old.

But at that time, 14 years ago, girls in Argentina still had few opportunities to learn and play the sport. Soccer had long ago established itself as a men’s game.

By age 6, however, Solari and her family moved to the United States. She joined a Warrenton Youth Sports Club soccer team and eventually developed into one of the Wakefield Owls’ best

defenders as a high school senior.

That progress, and her surprising success as a first-year volleyball player last fall, made Solari the Fauquier Times 2018 Wakefield Girls Athlete of the Year.

Solari, an 18-year-old Middleburg resident, knew almost nothing about volleyball when she joined the Owls, but she quickly moved into the starting lineup thanks to her blocking skills as a middle hitter.

Her vast soccer knowledge, meanwhile, helped make her a senior captain for Wakefield with more than a decade of See SOLARI, Page 12

A win-Nguyen hire for Liberty

Assistant succeeds Washington as girls basketball coach

Physical education teacher Quynh Nguyen is the fifth girls basketball coach in Liberty history, following Ellen Allen, Lauren Milburn, Ashton Girolmo and Ryan Washington.

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The name of the new girls basketball coach at Liberty High School can be a challenge to both spell and pronounce.

She’s Liberty physical education teacher Quynh Nguyen. Her first name is pronounced Kwan. Her last name is pronounced Win, and people at Liberty like the sound of that.

A former college player at the University of Tampa, the upbeat Nguyen is entrusted to keep the Eagles’ strong program rolling. She’s entering her fourth year teaching at LHS and replaces Ryan Washington, who stepped down after an impressive four-year run.

Nguyen accepted the job in midspring after holding the lead assistant’s job last winter.

“We have a great group of girls who are willing to put the work in, and it doesn’t hurt that I love being around them – on and off the court,” she said.

Of Vietnamese descent, Nguyen is a 2006 graduate of Osbourn High School in Manassas where she played for former Liberty coach and current Liberty assistant principal Lauren Milburn.

Nguyen played at the University

of Tampa, graduating in 2010, then spent four years as an assistant coach at Osbourn before moving to Liberty.

“Growing up, I didn’t think I’d ever coach,” said Nguyen, who’s excited about her first head coaching position. “It was a way to feed my competitiveness after college once my playing career was over. Now I love it,” she said.

Milburn calls her former point guard/shooting guard/small forward a natural coach. “She has strong relationships with the girls and she has built a rapport and trust with them,” Milburn said. “Additionally, Quynh understands that fundamentals are essential to building a team and program. She is dedicated and a hard worker.”

She becomes the fifth girls basketball coach in school history. All others had winning records, with the Eagles winning the 2011 state title under Milburn.

Nguyen is already game-planning for her first season. “You can expect to see a completely different offensive and defensive scheme,”’ she said. “Offensively, we will slow the tempo and definitely utilize our inside presence. But we also have some tools at the guard spots as well.

On the other end, you will see a more fundamentally sound defense.”

“Our girls have worked hard together in the gym on their individual skills,” Nguyen said, excited with her coaching staff and weight room coach Ben Defibaugh.

Activities Director Dean Spahr is a big fan of the new coach. “She ran a couple of camps this summer. Ran a lot of open gyms,” Spahr said. “She helps out with lot of other things at the school. She runs our Eagle Club, which is our student section for football games.”

‘Amazing’ Cougars grab big lead in golf

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The 2018 golf season began only eight days ago, but Kettle Run already appears on the cusp of clinching the regular season championship in the Class 4 Northwestern District.

The Cougars dominated the second district mini tournament of the season Monday at Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club in Front Royal to take a substantial lead in the standings with only one mini remaining after also winning the first district mini Aug. 1 during the Curly Licklider tournament at Shenandoah Golf Club.

They shot a 323 in the first mini despite playing without No. 1 Reece Massei and shot 322 Monday to defeat runner-up Handley (339) by 17 strokes.

“Incredible,” Kettle Run coach Dale Edwards said earlier in the week. “We are maybe a little bit ahead of schedule of where I thought we’d be. I thought we’d be around 325-330. To shoot 323 without Reece was way better than expected.

“So we were extremely excited,” Edwards said.

“Kettle Run has an amazing team,” said Liberty coach Karen Mesick, whose Eagles did not post an official score Monday after pulling a player off the course due to health concerns from the heat.

Fauquier, meanwhile, finished fourth (353) behind Sherando (third, 346), Handley and Kettle Run. Last season, the Cougars started slow and failed to win a district/ conference regular season championship for the second consecutive season after establishing themselves as Fauquier County’s best golf team over the previous eight years. Kettle Run did win the 2017 district tournament title, though, and then lost only one starter.

“And we have a lot of young kids coming up,” Edwards said.

Hunter Anderson and the Cougars won Monday’s meet.

Freshman Gabby Finan contributed to Kettle Run’s team score Monday with an 83 behind Massei (77), Hunter Anderson (81) and Jacob Rader (81).

On Aug. 1, meanwhile, Anderson and Jack Mills each shot 79, while Rader shot 81 and Trevor Berg shot 84 to edge out Finan (85).

“I’ve watched her since sixth grade, so knew she would be good,” Edwards said of Finan. “But I didn’t know she would mature as a golfer this quick.”

horses, caring for them, training and riding. And it’s a sport you practice and perfect, a journey of progression.”

GMP president John Gobin sees the father-son duo as a powerful force.

“Will’s a cool little kid,” Gobin said.

“Polite, kind, good rider. Playing with a bunch of grown-ups makes you tough.”

For his part, Will – who turns 12 next week and will be a sixth-grader at Wakefield this fall – puts his own spin on his ardor for the game. “It’s a thrill to play in front of an audience,” Will said. “Carrying the ball at a gallop is an adrenaline rush.”

When he started playing two seasons ago, “the grown-ups were letting me get shots, but not now. That was good for my confidence, but I don’t need it anymore.”

Bill Ballhaus has a degree in mechanical engineering from the UC Davis and a masters and doctorate in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford as well as a MBA from UCLA. A Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Bill works in satellite technology out of his D.C. office.

The family created Beverly Equestrian in 2010 after relocating from California. The full-service boarding and training facility was carved out of the historic Rockburn Stud near Middleburg.

When Will Ballhaus drove in the tie-breaking score with seconds to go in the opener at Saturday night polo, the local player carried the Beverly Equestrian squad to victory, earned MVP and drew a standing ovation from the capacity crowd at Great Meadow.

Even at a foot shorter and decades younger than teammates and rivals, they call the 11-year-old a fierce competitor, with the skill and passion to excel in this adult contact sport.

And none is more proud than Will’s father, Bill, founder and patron of Beverly Polo. He loves playing on a squad with his son.

“It adds a new dimension to it,” Bill said.

Joining the father-son duo in the Saturday win was Beverly pro Tolito Ocampo. Ocampo sees similarities between Will and himself at the same age. “My dad was a (6-goal pro) polo player,” said the native Argentinian.

“Will has the same competitiveness, the same drive as I did at that age.

“I already told Bill that Will is going to be good, really good. Maybe

better than him. Bill likes that.”

Bill, who turns 51 next week, said his grandfather competed cutting horses in their native California, but he never rode before taking up polo seven years ago. He and wife Darrin Mollett and their two children relocated to Middleburg in 2004 for Mollett to pursue her upper level eventing career. He didn’t consider horses as a sporting option until he watched Mollett in a polo lesson.

“The first time I took up a mallet, I saw a lot of the same skills as when I played lacrosse” in high school and college, Bill said. “But there’s more to it. There’s the interaction with the

Allegra was a tall force at center back and net SOLARI, from Page 9 playing experience.

“When I was little it was just me and a bunch of boys,” Solari said of playing in Argentina. “I had a lot of trouble because girls didn’t play. … It was difficult, but I knew I loved it.”

Years later, she played for Wakefield’s varsity team as an eighth grader and freshman, but her game evolved most during a return to Argentina.

Solari’s family left Virginia midway through her sophomore season so her younger brother could spend a year absorbing the culture and language of their native country.

“And we didn’t know if we were coming back, so it was kind of an open-ended thing,” Solari said. “That was kind of crazy. It happened halfway through a year of school.

“It was all kind of scary leaving my friends,” she said, “but it really [became] the best thing ever.”

She played soccer for Asociación Escuelas Lincoln, an international school in La Lucila, and practiced with an Argentina professional club team, River Plate, after earning a tryout session with the coach via a family connection.

“He was very, very generous,” Solari said of the coach. “He offered me a spot on the team even though these girls were playing at an exceptionally high level. It was a really cool experience; an eye-opening experience.”

Then her family decided to move back to Virginia. So she returned to Wakefield shortly before soccer season began midway through her junior year.

Although disruptive socially, the moves between Argentina and Virginia didn’t seem to hurt her on the soccer field. In fact, Owls coach James Post saw an opposite effect.

“She really brought that pace of play and touch on the ball, and an ability to distribute passes, and her competitive drive,” he said. “I think Argentina helped bring that.

“She’s really just an incredibly well-rounded athlete,” Post said. “There aren’t enough ornate coach-

Family: Father, Enrique, is a civil engineer. Mother, Ariane, is an interior designer. Brother Lorenzo, 16, is a rising junior at Wakefield who plays soccer and tennis.

Brother Alfonso, 6, is a rising first grader at Wakefield who does soccer, tennis and horse riding.

Favorite athlete: Tobin Heath.

Sports superstitions: “I hate wearing a headband.

Everything goes wrong. One game against Highland, I braided my hair and wore a headband, and I think we got scored on three times in the first 10 minutes.”

College plans: Will pursue a major in philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Pennsylvania. “I’m hoping to be able to play intramural or club [soccer] at my college, but I’m not sure. I’m pretty nervous about the workload. … I really like, superficially, where it is, in a city which isn’t too far from my home.”

Favorite music artist: The Killers. “Their songs are always just kind of very complete. I like their lyrics a lot they and they have a very low-key vibe.”

Favorite TV show: “The Office.” “The humor is just impeccable. It’s crazy.”

ing hyperbolic lines to give her, but they all are absolutely 100 percent true.”

A 5-foot-11 captain, Solari played center back with an occasional role as holding center midfielder during her final two seasons at Wakefield after playing striker as a freshman and eighth grader.

“My physique is more for a center back,” she said. “I’m a big, tall girl.”

The Owls began the season with a six-match undefeated run and ended with a 9-5-1 record.

They also earned a state bid as the No. 11 seed, losing to No. 6 Eastern Mennonite, 2-0, during the quarterfinals of the VISAA Division II tournament.

“It was really fun that we got to make it that far,” Solari said. “It was super exciting because it was my senior year. … I was satisfied.”

‘Just spicy’

Prior to last August, Allegra Solari had never touched a volleyball.

By early September she had a spot in Wakefield’s starting lineup.

“Some girls, they are a little awkward when they haven’t played volleyball before,” Owls coach Ni-

Headed to the University of Pennsylvania, Allegra Solari made the most of her Wakefield years, starring in soccer and volleyball. cole Holmes said. “For her, I didn’t have to worry about the athleticism part of it.

“Couldn’t resist but put her in the starting six,” Holmes said. “And I didn’t want to get her off the court.”

Solari only joined the team because many of her friends played, and the sport appeared fun.

Yet she learned the needed skills quickly enough to move into the starting lineup following Wakefield’s third match of the season.

So she finished the fall averaging more than two blocks per game as a 5-foot-11 middle hitter and occasional outside hitter.

“Her blocks and hits were just spicy,” Holmes said. “The timing, she learned that very well.”

fundamental. Whatever instruction you give he is going to do it to the T.” He started at midfield and then switched to defense.

Holtslander started playing soccer at a young age, motivated in part by his much older brother Richard.

“It was kind of weird, by the time I was 10, they were [older]. It definitely made me better but I’ve been the same height since about the fifth grade so it wasn’t really noticeable, but it definitely helped me develop my skills at an early age,” he said.

That age gap helped Holtslander get better.

“My brother was always a competitor for me.

I always wanted to beat him. We are pretty close in age so it has always been a close relationship,” Holtslander said.

Even as a utility player who saw limited time on the soccer field for Wakefield, Holtslander established himself as a key figure. The Owls put together one of their best seasons in recent years and qualified for the state tournament.

“Henry works hard. There is nothing bad to say about him,” said Wakefield soccer coach Grant Massey. “He is a great teammate and he came to everything. I never had to worry about his attitude. He supported everyone and worked as hard as he could. He is one of those kids that just sticks out because he does everything you ask.”

Holtslander had four different soccer coaches in his four-year career on the pitch.

“Henry understood that even though he wasn’t

a starter, everything he did was beneficial to the team,” said Massey. “Whether it was cheering on the team or giving his best in practice to make the players above him better players.”

Basketball was Holtslander’s main sport. He appeared in four state tournaments and was team captain as a senior when Wakefield made it to the VISAA Division III state quarterfinals.

“Ever since I was able to play recreational sports I started playing basketball. It is the reason I went to Wakefield. I was on a travel team where one of the coach’s sons went to Wakefield and told me how cool it was,” said Holtslander.

“A lot of times our coach would ask me or my co-captain help out and run practice or help right down plays and come up with things during games,” Holtslander said. “I had always helped out players before from the sidelines if they needed anything to work on or give them some tips.”

“Henry was basically like a coach,” Summers said. “He is very knowledgeable about the game and he is a very good student so he used to tutor some of the players on the team. He is one of those kids that has always led by example.”

Summers was impressed with his leadership skills.

Wakefield athletic director Tee Summers praised Henry Holtslander’s intelligence, dedication and dependability. The basketball/soccer/lacrosse contributor willl attend Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering.

“There were multiple times where we were in games and in situations when some of the guys were having a hard time producing on the court what I was asking. On the sideline Henry was able to explain it to them in teenage terms,” Summers said.

Holtslander will be taking the lessons he’s learned from sports onto Virginia Tech College of Engineering where he will major in computer science and look into joining several club teams.

Although lacrosse wasn’t on his radar for most of his life, it quickly turned into one of his best sports when he got to Wakefield.

“I had to stay after school until my parents got off of work because we lived kind of far away,” Holtslander said. “So I decided to pick a sport so I wouldn’t be sitting around bored. Lacrosse soundSee HOLTSLANDER, Page 13

Solari stood out for more than her height and blocking ability, though.

LET’S GET FRESH:

Going green is good for your health

What goes in the bottle?

Middleburg Juice Company delivers to your door

By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Eat your vegetables.

It’s a health mantra that most of us have grown up with, heard about in school nutrition classes and, many of us, have tried to take to heart consuming at least a few each day.

Fruits are much easier to add to our diets. They’re often tastier.

While natural, they’re also often loaded with sugar.

Vegetables, on the other hand, particularly the green variety, are packed with nutrients.

Good for you but less palatable for many, the greens are often passed by in the grocery store aisles.

Drinking fresh-made green juice offers an immediate infusion of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that hit the system directly without being broken down. The possible benefits are said to include increased energy, weight loss, brighter skin, softer hair and a boosted immune system.

Some people have turned to juicers as an easy way to grind up those green, leafy vegetables and gulp them down. But maybe you’d rather reach into the fridge and grab a tall, chilled bottle of green gold and be set for the day.

Enter the Middleburg Juice Company.

Originally from Australia, Matthew Cahir (pronounced “car”) has called the United States home for 10 years. With a background in finance, most of his career has involved buying and selling software companies for investment banks. As such, his work has taken him from Georgetown to Denver to Miami and eventually landed him in Middleburg on a completely different career path.

“There’s about six pounds of vegetables in every 18-ounce bottle,” says Cahir of the combination of pineapple, cucumber, celery, apple, ginger, kale, spinach, mint, lemon and parsley that go into his product.

“It’s 92 percent vegetable and 8 percent fruit.”

Cahir frowns on some commercial smoothies that are, in his opinion, no more than flavored ice and a sugar shock to your system.

“Ours is low in sugar,” says Cahir, “less than 10 grams in each bottle.”

While disclosing the contents, it’s the ratio of these ingredients that Cahir claims is the secret to the success of his green juice.

Made in batches in a commercial kitchen, packed in ice and delivered daily via the company’s vans, Middleburg Juice Company is currently delivering 1,000 bottles a week to locations in several counties.

Their primary distribution areas are Fauquier, Loudoun and Fairfax counties, but, as the company grows, the plans are to expand.

“A number of our customers are dealing with health issues…they’re very sick,” says Cahir. “They’re recovering from surgeries or have cancer.”

“They’ve told us that drinking our juice makes them feel better and that’s very satisfying for us to hear,” he adds.

Because it’s made fresh and the contents will settle, Cahir recommends that his juice be consumed within three days of purchase. For most, that isn’t a problem. Cahir smiles remembering one customer, a dentist, whose children got into it and drank all the bottles that were delivered while he was conversing.

Cahir was excited to report that he recently closed a deal buying another local juice company called Thrive. Based in Haymarket, its owner, Paula Grim, liked his philosophy and decided to join forces with him. While his green juice will remain available only through subscription, his acquisition of Thrive will add flavored juices and a retail footprint in hundreds of stores.

On a personal note, Cahir enthusiastically shares the benefits he’s already received. “I feel so good... I’ve lost weight... my skin is better... my hair is softer... and I haven’t suffered from gout.”

“It’s exciting to be a part of this,” Cahir exclaims, sharing another health phenomena he sees frequently of people experiencing his juice.

“I see them in cars, driving and holding the familiar glass bottle in one hand and tilting it to their lips,” chuckles Cahir, “I call it ‘the Middleburg salute.’”

Yes, you need a passport!

By Alesia House

One of the number one questions I get ask when booking travel is, will I need a passport? I would like to say it is as simple as saying, yes, you need passport.

However, there are a few options depending if you are doing a cruise or a land package. I am going to break it down for you and, in the end, I will always say, “yes, you need a passport!”

The only exception is if you are traveling within the United States.

No passport required. Canada, Mexico, and anywhere else, “yes, you need a passport!”

If you are taking a cruise that begins in Florida and ends in Florida, you are stopping at islands not in the United States, do you need a passport?

This is one exception, this is called a closed loop cruise. It begins and ends in the United States. You can board the ship with a certified birth certificate and your driver’s license and you can travel. However, I do not recommend that and here is why.

You are having a great vacation, you get off the ship in Barbados, while in Barbados you step off a curb wrong, break your ankle, or you overheat, pass out, and you end up at the hospital. While in the hospital the ship leaves and you are left in Barbados. With a passport, not

ALESIA HOUSE a problem, you catch a flight to the next island, meet the ship and your trip continues. Without a passport… well, not so easy. You are now outside the United States, without a passport, just trying to get home, not always an easy process. This is just one of many examples.

Can you just travel with a passport card, versus a passport book?

The biggest difference between a passport book and a passport card is the card is NOT valid for international air travel; they’re only acceptable for land and sea border crossings between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean. For example, if you are driving from here to Niagara Falls, you can cross the Canadian border with just a passport card.

A passport book or card is good for 10 years for anyone over 16 years old. When traveling internationally, your passport has to be valid for six months after your date of travel. For example, if you are traveling in Sep-

tember of 2018 your passport would need to be valid until April 2019.

Getting a passport is an easy process. If you even think you will be traveling in the next 10 years internationally, I highly recommend just getting it and having it. Our local post office has the applications, or you can download them online.

Most post offices can also take your passport picture. I recommend our local store, McClanahan Camera.

They have been serving Fauquier County for more than 50 years and it is super easy to just walk in and get your passport picture taken.

All your questions, any forms you need can be found on www.travel. state.gov. Fees, forms, processing times, where to apply, what you need, is on this website and I direct all my clients here who do not have a passport.

So, to answer your question.

Yes, I highly recommend you have a passport and I highly recommend you travel and see the world and put that passport to good use.

Summit Financial Group, Inc. to acquire Peoples Bankshares, Inc. Summit Financial Group, Inc. and Peoples Bankshares, Inc. announced July 24 the signing of a definitive merger agreement between Summit and Peoples.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Summit will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Peoples in exchange for cash in the amount of $47 per share or 1.7193 shares of Summit common stock, resulting in an aggregate transaction value of approximately $25.5 million.

Peoples shareholders will have a right to receive cash, Summit’s common stock or a combination of cash and Summit common stock, subject to proration to result in approximately 50 percent cash and 50 percent stock consideration in the aggregate. Total merger consideration received by Peoples shareholders is subject to an adjustment if Peoples’ adjusted shareholders’ equity as of the effective date of the merger deviates from the range mutually determined by the parties.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by each company’s board of directors and is expected to close early in 2019, pending regulatory approvals and the approval of Peoples’ shareholders. Following consummation of the merger, Peoples’ wholly-owned subsidiary First Peoples Bank, Inc. will be consolidated with Summit’s bank subsidiary, Summit Community Bank, Inc. “This transaction represents an exceptional opportunity for Summit to combine with a financially strong and exceptionally well-managed bank possessing a culture and core values similar to ours, as well as the same commitment to build long-term client relationships by providing ‘Service Beyond Expectations’,” said Summit’s President and Chief Executive Officer, H. Charles Maddy, III. “Partnering with Peoples not only further expands Summit’s community banking footprint in Wyoming and Raleigh Counties of West Virginia but permits both Peoples’ and

Summit’s clients the added convenience of more banking locations provided by our combined organizations. Our top priority now is to make sure Peoples’ clients experience a smooth transition.”

Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Ronald L. Bowling said, “We are extremely pleased to be able to partner with Summit, a company who shares the same long-standing commitment to community banking as Peoples has held for almost 92 years. Our Board of Directors has been through an extensive process to help determine the best opportunities for our shareholders, customers and employees, and we believe Summit is the right partner. In addition to enhanced technology and other banking services that will improve our product offerings, by partnering with Summit, our customers will still see familiar faces and know that we will maintain the relationships that have been built over the years.”

Back to school

by bus

By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County Public School’s 182 buses will transport 7,312 students to school and back this year, collectively assigned to 163 routes picking up at 2,807 stops and adding 3.2 million new miles to fleet odometers. Their mission: to do so “safely, on-time, and cost-effectively.”

It’s a big job, but the county’s CDL-trained school bus drivers say they love it. Equipped with two-way radios and tracked by GPS, dispatch-central keeps them aware of changes with students or road conditions. And parents can download an app to keep tabs on the bus in route.

Kim Owens has been driving since March. “It’s perfect for me,” she said from her home in Opal. “I get to take my 3-year-old with me every day, and I get off when the kids get off – holFrom the Fauquier County Public Schools website:

Safety tips

• Always be on time at the bus stop.

• Always stand back from the curb.

• Always wait your turn to get on or off the bus. Never push or shove.

• Always stay in your seat unless the driver tells you otherwise.

• Always keep the aisle clear.

• Always take at least 10 giant steps before turning when you get off the bus. This is so the driver can see you.

• Always wait for the driver to give you the “thumbs up” sign before crossing in front of the bus.

• NEVER walk behind the bus.

• NEVER crawl underneath a school bus. If you drop something, tell the driver and he or she will tell you what to do.

• Conduct on school buses and in school vehicles • Be at your bus stop five minutes before the scheduled arrival time.

• Stand well back from the road while waiting for the bus/vehicle.

• Remain seated at all times while

idays and snow days.” Owens was asked what advice she’d give parents to make everyone’s life easier.

Here’s what she said: A lot of our students ride a different bus home, so I advise the parents of the elementary children – although in the beginning it happens to kids of all ages – to write the afternoon bus number on their hand.

All children under fourth grade have to be met at the bus stop by a parent or guardian. So, remember, if you’re not there, your kids will go back to the school and you’ll have to pick them up there.

Please remind children who must cross a street after disembarking to wait for the driver’s “thumbs up” before crossing.

Please remember that you cannot pass a school bus with flashing red lights. So, unless there is a physical

barrier, all lanes in both directions must stop when a bus stops.

And don’t forget, parents are not allowed on the school bus. Not even on the steps.

Clay Emory has been driving Fauquier school buses for years. On his way out to take his grandson to a doctor appointment, he said he’s looking forward to school starting. Emory’s route winds through the backroads of Markham and Delaplane, some so narrow that “we have to stop and let the other go by.”

“No, it’s not nerve-wracking at all,” he said. “I love my job.” His passengers are high-school age.

“You never know what those kids are dealing with at home. We show them a lot of respect, and they in turn are very respectful. Some of them even say, ‘Thank you, Mr. Clay.’ I know them all by name. I’m gonna be

the bus/vehicle is in motion.

• Damage done to seats or other equipment must be paid for by the student.

• Help keep the bus/vehicle clean, sanitary and orderly by not littering.

• Profanity, loud conversation, loud noises and yelling are prohibited.

• Fighting while on the bus/vehicle or at the bus stop is prohibited.

• Throwing anything out of the bus/ vehicle window or having any body part out of the window is prohibited.

• When leaving the bus/vehicle, remain seated until the bus/vehicle has come to a complete stop.

• If you have to cross the road, cross 10 to 15 feet in front of the bus after the driver has given the “go ahead.”

• Large objects, band instruments and science projects may be carried on the bus/vehicle so long as the student can hold the item on his/her lap. The item cannot be placed in the aisle or near the front or rear doors or occupy seating space needed by another student.

• A bus driver or principal may assign a definite seat to a student.

• While you are on the bus/vehicle, you are the driver’s charge and must obey the driver.

• Permission to ride another bus/ vehicle may be granted provided there is space available and a note from the parent or guardian requesting permission to ride another bus has been signed by the Principal or designee before permission is granted.

• Any student violating these rules will be reported to his or her Principal for action.

• In the event that a student misses the bus/vehicle, parents must not follow the bus/vehicle to the next stop in an effort to catch the bus/ vehicle.

• U.S. mail – Students who retrieve the family mail from their mailboxes in the afternoon must then wait for the school bus/vehicle to leave their stop and make certain that traffic is clear before going to the mailbox.

as nice to them as I possibly can. I think all of us do that.”

And what would you like parents to know, Mr. Clay?

“The biggest thing for me is sometimes the 911-number is not on both sides of the mailbox, and it’s dark in the winter.

“We’ve been short of drivers, so we do extra routes all the time. That’s when not being able to see the numbers is challenging. We go slow. Parents wonder sometimes why we’re late.”

Fauquier is one of only a few counties that has a no-child-left-behind alarm in every bus, Emory said. “If we don’t go to the back of the bus at the end of every shift, checking all the seats for sleeping kids, an alarm goes off.”

Emory mentioned that there is no air conditioning on any school bus in Fauquier except for on the special needs buses. “We call it 45/22 air conditioning. Forty-five miles per hour, 22 windows open.” He said he tells his youngsters, “On a hot day, just bring your water bottle. You’re going to need it.”

For bus route information, including where to find and download the school bus app, contact FCPS Department of Transportation, or your child’s school directly. All route information is finalized the first week of August.

Welcome Back!

New teachers, new classes, new school year

By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

More than 11,000 Fauquier County students will head back to school next week – Wednesday, Aug. 15 – to be greeted by 114 new teachers and staff members at its three high schools, five middle schools, 11 elementary schools and one alternative school.

There are also new classes and a few new programs for kids and their parents this school year. Here’s an overview of what students can expect for the 2018-19 school year, according to Tara Helkowski, spokeswoman for Fauquier County Public Schools.

Three new classes for high schoolers:

Environmental Earth Science has been added to the cross-disciplinary Environmental Studies Academy curriculum at Fauquier High School. Intended to “encourage responsible citizenship,” the course will teach concepts in meteorology, astronomy and oceanography, and will include lab work.

Computer Science Principles – Advanced Placement is being added to the curriculum at all three high schools.

The class is designed to introduce students to the creative aspects of programming, algorithms, abstractions, large data sets, the internet and cybersecurity. It’s geared toward understanding computer science applications in a

variety of careers and majors.

Arabic IV is being added this year to all three high schools. Students will analyze various art forms – poetry, music, dance, painting, literature and drama – all in Arabic.

New playground

M.M. Pierce Elementary is getting a new playground this year, thanks to help from the school’s parent-teacher organization, community donors and a special grant from the school division. The playground was declared unsafe last school year, prompting a community-wide effort to raise money for new play equipment.

New after-school program

Marshall Middle School will see the start of a new after-school Boys and Girls Club. These clubs have been offered in other schools in the county. Marshall will also see the start of needs-based Fauquier Community Child Care program to be offered in its newly-renovated Marshall Community Center. There is still time to sign up for both programs.

Student fees remain the same as last year:

Fees for “consumable materials” (workbooks, writing and drawing books, etc.) will remain at $12 for grades K-5; $20 for grades 6-8; and $25 for grades nine-12.

The fee to rent musical instruments is $40. The parking fee (at high schools) is $100.

The cost to participate in sports and activities is $60 for each high school sport, partially-funded sport and marching band. The fee is also the same – $60 – for middle school sports and activities. Middle school students will also pay $35 to participate in music programs.

How can you help your kids pay for college?

It’s still summer, but we’re getting close to a new school year. One day, though, “back-to-school” will mean “off-to-college” for your children.

Will you be financially prepared to help your kids cope with the costs of higher education?

Your first step, of course, is to know what you’re up against, so here are some numbers: For the 2017-18 academic year, college costs (tuition, fees, room and board) were, on average, nearly $21,000 for in-state students at four-year, public schools and nearly $47,000 for students attending private colleges or universities, according to the College Board. And you can probably expect even bigger price tags in the years to come.

To help prepare for these costs, you might want to consider putting your money in a vehicle specifically designed to help build assets for college, such as a 529 education savings plan. All withdrawals from 529 plans are free from federal income taxes as

long as the beneficiary you’ve named uses the money for qualified college, trade school or graduate school expenses. Withdrawals for expenses other than qualified education expenditures may be subject to federal, state and penalty taxes on the earnings portion of your plan. (However, tax issues for 529 savings plans can be complex, so please consult your tax advisor before investing.)

You can generally invest in the 529 savings plan offered by any state, but if you invest in your own state’s plan, you may be able to claim a tax deduction or receive a tax credit.

By starting your 529 plan early, when your children are just a few years old, the investments within the plan have more time for potential growth. Plus, you can make smaller contributions each year, rather than come up with big lump sums later on.

A 529 plan is not the only education-savings tool you can use, but it has proven effective for many

people. Yet, you may also want to consider ways to keep college costs down in the first place.

For one thing, your children may be eligible for various forms of financial aid. Some types of aid depend on your family’s income, but others, such as merit-based scholarships, are open to everyone. But you don’t have to wait until you get an offer from a school’s financial aid office – you can explore some opportunities on your own. For example, many local and national civic and religious groups offer scholarships to promising young people, and your own employer may even provide some types of grants or assistance. Plus, your state also may offer other benefits, such as financial aid or scholarship funds. It can certainly take some digging to find these funding sources, but the effort can be worthwhile.

Here’s another option for reducing college costs: Consider sending your child to a local community col-

Spotlight on Cybersecurity at Vint Hill, Engineering at Fauquier Campus

By SALLY VOTH Lord Fairfax Community College

MIDDLETOWN, VA – Students in Fauquier County seeking high-tech careers can turn to LFCC to get started.

Not only is the engineering transfer degree program benefitting by having Professor Bill Lewis at the Fauquier Campus twice every week, but the Vint Hill site is now offering an accelerated cybersecurity career studies certificate.

Fauquier Campus Dean Caroline Wood says the site is offering two gateway cybersecurity classes – in information technology and networking – on Monday evenings. Each is eight weeks long and taken consecutively, finishing in one semester. Traditionally, those two prerequisites are offered over two semesters.

“Now, a student can start this August, and be finished by next August, as opposed to the four semesters required for a more conventional certificate,” Wood says. “We know our students have many different needs, so we’re trying to be flexible.”

In addition to the on-site classes, students would also take some online, she says.

Fauquier Campus Provost

Chris Coutts says Vint Hill is an ideal site for cybersecurity training.

“Vint Hill was built by the U.S. Army during World War II as a signals intelligence station, and was used to eavesdrop on enemy communications,” he says. “Information from Vint Hill even contributed to the D-Day invasion. Together with this rich tradition of cyber and communications intelligence, Vint Hill is home to several technology and engineering companies and data warehouses, making it the perfect place for our students to gain real-world experience and connect with cyber professionals.”

Recognizing the huge need for cybersecurity experts around the U.S. and particularly in the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. region, LFCC began offering the cybersecurity certificate at Vint Hill last year. Full-time instructor Alvin Brewer has been hired.

A certified information systems security professional, Brewer has more than 35 years of industry experience, with positions at Raytheon, ASI and Juniper Networks.

Brewer says industry research shows there is a continuing shortage of cybersecurity professionals, with

only 75 percent of jobs expected to be filled.

“Cybersecurity is a very broad field extending beyond the classical IT environment,” he says. “For example, IoT (Internet of Things) is opening up many new areas requiring proper security.”

The career studies certificate is ideal for students who already have a degree, perhaps in IT from some years back, and who are looking to enhance their skills.

“They don’t necessarily need another degree,” Wood explains. “This accelerated course gives them an opportunity to really turn it around quickly.”

The main Fauquier Campus offers classes to students seeking an associate degree in cybersecurity.

Also in the past couple of years, the Fauquier Campus has ramped up its engineering transfer degree program, with articulation agreements with Virginia Tech and West Virginia University.

“There’s one program where LFCC students can transfer into W.V.U. and go at in-state prices,” says Professor Lewis, who leads the engineering department.

This year, he will be

“We’ve had a good number of students who have transferred into the engineering program at Virginia Tech, and all are thriving,” Lewis, who has been with the college 35 years, says.

Students have also been transferring into engineering programs at Old Dominion University and George Mason University.

Impending Job Loss Turns Into Lucrative New Career Thanks to LFCC

By SALLY VOTH Lord Fairfax Community College

MIDDLETOWN, VA – For many people, learning that their workplace of 23 years is closing would be devastating. But, for 48-year-old Ed Breeden it was the chance to reinvent himself and to earn a much better living.

A general laborer at a metal recycling plant in Winchester, Breeden reached out to LFCC when his boss told employees the business planned to close.

Breeden left high school in the 10th grade to go to work.

“I decided I wanted to get my GED, so I signed up for classes at LFCC,” he says. “I was about halfway through when [adult education instructor] Katie Branson told me about this PluggedIn program.”

PluggedInVA (PIVA) is an education and career training program of the LFCC Adult Education program. It helps students attain the skills they

need to move forward with their careers, and offers a variety of training, including in digital literacy, workplace readiness, interview skills, industrial trades and allied health.

Breeden registered for the digital literacy and career readiness certificate programs, as well as Workforce Solutions’ Manufacturing Training (MT1) trade program.

“I figured since I’m going to lose my job here pretty soon, I need something to fall back on,” he says. “The adult education and Workforce Solutions staff helped me through everything.

I got my GED, I got my digital literacy, got the career readiness certificate, got the manufacturing technician credential, got everything. I’m all certified now.”

In fact, Breeden has been recognized by Virginia’s Community Colleges as receiving the 10,000th workforce credential from the

“The adult education and Workforce Solutions staff helped me through everything.”

Virginia Community College System’s FastForward jobtraining program.

Thanks to Breeden’s hard work and the training he received at LFCC, he has an advanced manufacturing job at a Winchester business when he wraps up his work at the scrapyard. His new salary is 40 percent higher than his old one.

About your ticket

Community Editor

Getting in the spirit of things is happening early this year. When you think ghost tours, stories of local hauntings and spooky places to send a chill up your spine, it’s typically not August. Warrenton’s Old Jail is one of the stops on the town’s spirit tours held in October. It’s garnered a reputation for shadowy images and souls perhaps still imprisoned.

What would it take to confirm or deny these legendary tales of tortured beings from beyond the grave?

Perhaps spending the night to see for yourself?

“We’re always thinking of new ideas,” says Erin Clark, the executive director at The Fauquier Historical Society. “The paranormal tours are very popular and we wanted to add a new spin this year…do something early... before the college crowd returns to school.”

This Saturday, Aug. 11, a first is happening at Warrenton’s Historic Old Jail. For a fee of $75, you are invited to a very different one-of-akind sleepover. You can be among the first to experience a unique stay.

Over the years, sightings, unexplained voices and sounds, and other paranormal activity have been reported by both staff and guests.

NIGHTLIFE

Tickets are $75, no refunds.

All ticket holders must be 18 years or older.

For FHS member discount please use the promo code: members4fhs.

Membership status will be checked upon purchase.

What your ticket includes “This will be the first time that people have slept in the jail since the last inmates in 1966,” says Clark, noting that this evening will offer visitors an adventure of discovery that is no doubt unlike any they have experienced.

To make it even more enticing, the ticket price also includes diabolical magic with illusionist Dean Carnegie, a staff-led paranormal tour and investigation and let’s not forget snacks and breakfast.

“We’re limiting the number,” says Clark, to “accommodate people comfortably and museum staff… there are still a few tickets available…if you are brave enough.”

The Old Jail is located at 10 Ashby St. in Warrenton. To learn more or purchase a ticket, visit www. fauquierhistory.org or email info@ fauquierhistory.org or contact 540347-5525.

• “Astonify”: An interactive magic and illusionist show • Paranormal tour and investigation led by museum staff • Private viewing of exhibits • Snacks and breakfast (if you have dietary restrictions, please contact the museum so that everyone’s evening can be memorable.

Roy Lambert offers farm supplies from the essential to the eccentric

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Roy Lambert is the affable manager of the CFC Farm Home Center in Warrenton. It should be no surprise that after growing up in Fauquier County, his farming roots eventually blossomed into his current career.

“I was born and raised here and grew up on a polled Hereford farm in Hume,” he said. “The farm name was Still House Hollow Farm.”

Lambert, 53, attended Coleman Elementary, Marshall Middle and graduated from Fauquier High.

“I left the farm to get away from the country life,” he said. “I went into the Air Force, served in the military for six years as a load master on cargo aircraft and served in Desert Storm.”

He came back to Fauquier after an honorable discharge and, he added, “Guess what? I returned to the good life.”

Lambert started at the CFC in January 1990.

He worked in the warehouse at the Marshall store, then moved on to become manager at the fertilizer plant in Marshall. “After leaving the co-op for two years,” he said, “I returned as the manager at the Warrenton store in 2007.”

His favorite part of the job? He thoroughly enjoys helping customers with their needs, offering valuable information and assisting in solving problems.

And the most challenging part of his work?

“Finding, training and keeping good employees,” he said.

The facility at 143 Washington St. was built in 1971 and has 5,700 square feet of retail space and 11,600 square feet in the warehouse. Inventory includes the standard assortment of horse brushes and halters along with pitchforks and buckets.

For cattle they sell ID tags, band castrators, digital thermometers and Ivermectin worming medication. There’s even pink eye treatment for cattle.

Native son Roy Lambert is at the helm of CFC Farm Home Center in Warrenton.

Upon close inspection, also on the shelves are quirky items like Bag Balm – an udder salve for dairy cows with dry chapped skin which can also be found in medicine cabinets of many savvy women.

There are Bully Sticks, a natural chew toy for dogs, and another favorite...Squirrel Stopper, a “pleasantto-use formula” that repels the frisky critters.

The warehouse is filled with an inventory consisting of mulch, railroad ties, fencing material, gates, corral systems, feeding equipment, automatic waterers, dog kennels, cattle working systems and shavings used for bedding.

“All of this on 3.97 acres,” Lambert said, adding that fencing materials such as poles, posts and rails are also best-sellers. “We have three delivery trucks, two flatbed dump trucks and one box truck.’

Annual gross sales in 2017 were just over $4 million, and “fencing, home and pet and farm supplies are mostly our biggest sales category.”

Additional services include: nutrition recommendations for animals, feed and hay sampling, lawn and garden and field soil sampling, quality

seeds, fertilizer and lime spreading.

What most people don’t know about the co-op, Lambert said, is that “CFC’s motto has been ‘Together we stick, divided we’re stuck.’”

And the best kept secret of the business?

“CFC has a garden center,” Lambert said.

After work, Lambert joins his family in returning back to his own youthful roots back on the farm.

“With my wife, Janice, and our daughter, Alaina, we have a small commercial cow/calf operation, which is 50 mature cows,” Lambert said. They sell all-natural beef, meaning that the animals are not given any additional growth hormones.

“We lease land from a local farmer, where we practice good land management,” he said. “We have respect for the animals and the land that’s needed to survive.”

As for the future of farming in the area, Lambert said, “there are great programs promoted throughout the county to keep Fauquier agricultural.

“When I started with the CFC, there were large tracts of land planted with crops. Now you don’t see as many large tracts. It’s broken down into smaller acreage. You now see smaller parcels, particularly in the northern Fauquier area.

“There are many farms owned, and the owners have another source of income, so they either lease their farms to others or they work the farm themselves on the weekends. I call them weekend warriors sometimes.”

Weekend warrior, or full-time and up to your eyeballs in cattle or horses at one time or another, they’ll all need something essential or eccentric down on the farm. Roy Lambert can always find it for them at CFC.

Astonify: Where Mysteries Abound The “Astonify” show is a theatrical recreation of a Victorian parlor magic performance combined with a full light Spirit Séance. Both parlor magic and seances were popular in the 19th century. This combination has rarely been seen since.

The program is divided

into three parts: conjuring, clairvoyance and the spirits. The performance is interactive and audience members are encouraged to participate. Entertainment with a spooky edge.

Not intended for anyone under 16, this is a sophisticated evening of marvels and mysteries for adults.

‘It’s great to be a Lion’ It’s early on a Saturday morning.

But not too early for a group of faithful volunteers to gather at The Bistro on the Hill at Fauquier Health.

The Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club meets there regularly on the first and third Saturdays of each month. The club’s meeting on July 7 was particularly noteworthy as they formally welcomed members from another pride, so to speak.

The Fauquier Host Lions Club, chartered in 1949, made the difficult and emotional decision to turn in their charter and join forces with the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club, chartered since 2012.

Illness, death and members moving to other areas had significantly reduced their numbers to the point where effectively carrying on their service commitments was jeopardized.

“We chose the Sunrise Lions because they were receptive to carrying on the work we were doing,” said Chuck Boyd, who has been known to don a Santa suit when it comes to entertaining children at Head Start at Christmastime.

Supporting the work of the Fauquier Community Action Committee Head Start program has been a primary focus of the Fauquier Host Lions Club. Head Start provides comprehensive early childhood education that promotes academic,

FAUQUIER FOCUS social and emotional development at no cost to qualifying families for children ages 3-4.

Club members were very pleased to pass around a photo of a van purchased from Country Chevrolet that will be donated to Head Start. Transporting meals from their central location to elementary schools where the programs are located will now be made lots easier. Taking on Head Start will add to a growing list of programs that the Warrenton Sunrise Lions group supports including doing sight and hearing screenings in the local schools each year, providing eye exams and glasses for those in need as well as hearing aids for the needy leader dogs for the blind, a partnership with Canine Companion for Independence and diabetes research. In 2013, the club built a new cabin at the Northern Virginia Lions Club Youth Camp.

Erl Poulin, president of Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club Sunrise Lions. You may find boxes at your local church or other organizations. Think old eye glasses, hearing aids or pill containers. Eye glasses are collected, broken down and refurbished. Many find their way on the USS Hope, bound for countries in places like South America and Africa giving sight to the less fortunate there.

Currently serving as president of the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club is Erl Poulin who has called Fauquier County home since 2006. Mov-

ing from Kansas, Poulin decided to move closer as he has a sister in Amissville.

A woodworker at heart, Poulin runs the Warrenton Workshop. There he specializes in antique and fine furniture repair and restoration.

Wherever Poulin has lived, he has been proactive with the community that he calls home.

“I’ve always done service work,” says Poulin, who has worked with Habitat for Humanity and other organizations.

Adeptly running the meeting, Poulin remarked afterward that he has found over the years that the more you share, the more rewards you are given in return. While coordinating and fundraising is a lot of work, the benefits far outweigh the burdens.

One of the club’s main fundraisers is its annual shrimp sale which happens in November and December.

“This shrimp is large, delicious, and not from Asia,” says Poulin of the Savannah, Georgia, beauties.

News of the shrimp shipments are spread largely by word of mouth.

Last year the club sold some-600 pounds.

With an aging membership, Poulin is always on the look-out for younger folks to join their ranks. If you’d like to learn more about the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club and/or to get your name on the shrimp list, contact Erl Poulin at Erl.Poulin@yahoo.com or 540-347-4281.

Easing back-to-school jitters The last days of summer are winding down. It’s time for one final day trip, a return to the early morning routine, back-to-school shopping and picking up some fantastic school-themed books for your young scholars.

If your child is nervous about the first day of school, reading “School’s First Day of School” by Adam Rex may ease their fears. Written from a jittery school’s perspective as it wonders if the students will like it and be nice to it, this book presents a cute and universal perspective on a very common situation.

Before touring the school with your child, consider “Follow the Line to School” by Laura Ljungkvist. Children will be reassured by the fun way it explores a typical day at school, including recess, library time and art class.

If your child learns at home,

“This is My Home, This is My School” by Jonathan Bean is a positive affirmation of home schooling.

Learning how children live in other countries can be an eye-opening experience; children are often curious as to how children from different lands play, learn and live, so finding books with a worldwide focus can be an intriguing way to get into the back-to-school mindset. “Rain School” by James Rumford is a back-to-school story like no other; based on the author’s experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Chad, children start the first day of school by building their school from scratch (using mud).

Whether you have a brave young kindergarten student, or an old pro third grader, here are some captivating titles for young listeners and readers: • “Follow the Line to School” by

Laura Ljungkvist • “How Do Dinosaurs Go to School?” by Jane Yolen • “I’m New Here” by Anne Sibley O’Brien • “Rain School” by James Rumford • “School Bus” by Donald Crews • “School Days Around the World” by Catherine Chambers • “School’s First Day of School”

by Adam Rex • “A School Like Mine: A Celebration of Schools Around the World” by Penny Smith • “The Way to School” by Rosemary A. McCarney • “This is My Home, This is My School” by Jonathan Bean Here’s to a successful and positive new school year, filled with new discoveries and possibilities.

Plans underway for Orlean Day

ANNE DAVIS

Rain! Rain! Go away and please don’t come back any time this week.

Enough is enough.

The Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue breakfast is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 18, from 8-11 a.m.

July brought a good turnout of friends and neighbors; let’s make this happen again. A huge “thank you” to the folks who have provided some of the delicious sweets for our Goodies-To-Go table. Those donations go directly to the new building fund and are much appreciated. The Buy a Brick campaign is still going on. This is a great way to permanently honor a family or community member in the new fire and rescue station. Details available at the Goodies-To-Go table.

Plans for Orlean Day on Oct. 13

MARKHAM HUME ORLEAN 540-364-1828 hlfmhouse@aol.com are progressing nicely. There will be a number of activities for the youngsters to enjoy: an obstacle course, sand art, a police cruiser, the K-9 from the sheriff’s office, an astronomer, fortune telling, the opportunity to learn about loom weaving plus much more. In addition, there will be a silent auction with some very interesting items available plus the famous apple pie contest and a new activity this year: a photo contest.

The photo contest is open to everyone in the community. Categories will include: plants and flowers, animals and farm life in the Piedmont.

Photos must be 8 inches by 10 inches and must be brought to the Orlean Market by Oct. 5. The pictures will be matted by an Orlean Day staff member. Each picture should have the name, address and telephone contact of the photographer securely affixed to the back of the photo.

Photos will be displayed at the Market and will be judged. Ribbons are to be awarded in each category. Get those cameras ready!

Birthday wishes to Jim Kudla, Jack Bowden, Ann Prideaux, Hayden Shaw, Ruth Baxley, Holden Truax and Don Armstrong. Enjoy!

Enjoy! This is your special day so make the most of it.

Our personal thanks for the many birthday greetings, messages and the lovely surprise party which I received. “Overwhelmed” does not begin to describe it. It was absolutely wonderful and appreciated so much.

Orlean is the best place to live!

munity events and youth agricultural programs.

Fauquier County Public Schools will be starting in a week. This is always a good time to help support our school community with donations.

Many teachers spend their own money to supply their classroom and students with materials. Tissues, antibacterial soap, baby wipes, pens, pencils, paper, gently used books, are just a few of the items that are needed in a classroom. Calverton Baptist Church recently donated over forty backpacks to assist incoming students. Trinity United Methodist Church, Catlett continues

to collect individual-size snacks and non-perishable food that can be sent home with students during weekends or long breaks from school to sustain their nutritional needs. Contact one of our local schools to ask how you may help with providing needed supplies for a classroom.

The Catlett History Day committee will meet on Monday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church. Everyone is welcome to attend. On the agenda for this meeting is to start reviewing and organizing the documents of the history of Catlett.

If you were too busy this summer to sign up for swimming lessons, you can now sign up for fall.

Not only does the WARF offer swim lessons, but it has a high school prep program to get competitive swimmers back in the pool to try out for their high school swim team. There is also lifeguard certification with the American Red Cross available.

Go to www.warfonline.com to register for all of the courses.

And while you are at the WARF, you can now enjoy the recently installed ultraviolet disinfection unit in the competition pool. With this

new system, filtered water is exposed to high-intensity ultraviolet light which destroys bacteria and viruses. It also eliminates the smell of chlorine without having to add additional chlorine to the pool while maintaining healthy, safe water.

With water also being a concern out of the pool, the Town of Warrenton has announced its 2018 “What Clear Water Means to Me” poster contest. The works of A’Shiaya Brooks, Emma Dunning, Savannah Oliver, Mikhaela Friedline and Vincent Oliver were selected to be featured on banners with a water conservation message and hung throughout the Town of Warrenton.
