Three suspects in custody for shooting death of Lincoln Williams Jr. Staff Reports The third suspect wanted in connection with the shooting death of 18-year-old Lincoln Williams Jr. of Warrenton surrendered Sunday, Sept. 1. Myison Iaeene Ellis, 38, of Waynesboro, turned himself in at the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office at about 11:30 a.m., said Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman.
The sheriff's office announced on Friday that Ellis was being sought in the slaying. His photograph was circulated, and residents were warned that he was "armed and dangerous." Ellis has been charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and conspiracy to commit robbery. He is being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond, said Hartman. His arraignment is sched-
uled for Wednesday morning. The other two suspects who have been arrested gave different accounts of the shooting to authorities, according to court documents. According to documents filed with Ellis’ arrest warrant, Daniel Farmer, arrested last week for first-degree murder in the case, stated, “he arranged with Myison Ellis and Lucretia Robinson [also arrested last week] to rob Williams Jr. at Williams’ resi-
dence of drugs and money.” The statement said that Farmer said he drove “with the co-conspirators to Williams’ residence and Ellis and Robin-

Liberty High School experiments with ‘one lunch’ One-hour shared lunch period offers students more flexibility By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
For a three-sport athlete like Emily Markley, the new trial “one lunch” at Liberty High School is working out well. She said the full hour allows her to eat lunch and then tackle homework that she has trouble getting done after sports practices. The junior, who plays golf, swims and plays lacrosse, appreciates the extra time during the school day to catch up. On Friday afternoon, she was finishing up her lunch in the orchestra room with friends Margaret Hurst and Teagan Corpening. Teagan said she likes coming to the orchestra room to avoid the crowds. She also said she appreciates having a full hour for lunch, instead of the 30 minutes students had before, under the old system. Margaret said that when she was scheduled for first lunch under the old system, it was way too early; eating from noon to 1 is better for her. The girls explained that they sometimes use the one lunch period to touch base with teachers, about homework or scheduling issues. Teachers post “office hours” a few times a week when students can come in to talk.

Renovated school welcomes Mary Walter Elementary students back Mary Walter Elementary School in Morrisville got a facelift over the last couple of months. New lights in the general purpose room and fresh paint throughout welcomed children back from summer vacation. Students also were delighted to see that the corn and pumpkins they planted at the end of the school year were tall and lush. Principal Alex O’Dell called kids over from the playground Thursday for a run through the corn. They raced through the stalks and checked on the progress of the pumpkin plants, then asked eagerly if they could do it again the next day.
Mary Walter students Alison Rodriguez and Christian McDermitt loved racing through the corn that they helped to plant last spring. Landscaping in front of Mary Walter Elementary changes from year to year. Principal Alex O’Dell takes a personal interest in all things growing. He said, “I’m frequently planting and replanting. This fall, I’ll be planting shade trees on the playground and redoing some of the landscaping on the parking lot side of school.”
The front lobby looks spiffy and inviting, with new bright colors to welcome students.

Warrenton’s Interim Police Chief Tim Carter I’ll do it all. That’s not your job. It’s my job.’ I’ve gotten better at delegation, but I still could be better.” Carter said that he’s also developed a new appreciation for the town’s other department heads. He cites frequent collaboration with the leaders of community development, human resources, finance and parks and rec. “When we work together on projects, it’s been effortless. I have a great relationship with all of them, and with our town’s mayor and the town manager. It has made my job much easier.”
The department
The Warrenton Police Department has 28 full-time employees; 26 are sworn police officers. The officers include 19 patrol officers, three detectives and two lieutenants (one leads the patrol division and one leads support services). Two full-timers and five part-time employees provide support to the officers. The department still has vacancies for four officers, two in CID and two in the patrol division. Carter said he has hired three officers since taking over as interim chief and had input into two other hires. He also hired a parking enforcement officer in July. “I knew right away that Lea (Pagliuca) would be great in that job. We had a lot of applicants who could have done the job, but Lea is a people person. She’ll be a great liaison between the police department and
the public.” What are the biggest challenges of the chief’s job? “Rush hour in Warrenton,” Carter said with a shake of the head. “There is an accident almost every single weekday between 5 and 7 (p.m.) I tell everyone, ‘Don’t make a left turn on Broadview if you don’t absolutely have to.’” He said that fraud calls have become more frequent in the last six to 12 months as well. “We get tons of those calls. Somebody gets an email or a phone call and they call us to let us know, and to find out if it’s a scam. Three days out of the week, we’ll get those calls.” In the last 12 months, Carter said, larcenies were the most common reason Warrenton Police were called. Offenses against families (domestic violence) are the next most numerous. Drunk in public, assaults and drug violations are third, fourth and fifth. Carter said that for Warrenton officers – who are trained to administer Narcan in situations when an overdose is suspected – the number of overdoses seems to have stabilized over the last three years. But he admits it’s hard to tell because if someone other than an officer administers the Narcan, it may never be reported. He said that addicts take turns shooting up so that someone is there to administer the Narcan if one of them overdoses. Still, he said he is grateful for Narcan. “We were losing people.” Carter tells a story of a call from a convenience store clerk in the middle of the night. “He said there was a man parked in front. The man was sitting in his car. He never came in and was out there too long. The clerk wanted us to come check on him. “The man had used an opioid. The officer gave him two doses of Narcan. Usually, one does it. When more than one is needed, that means either that the drug is very pure, or the person has been suffering for a long time. “When the man got to the hospital, they gave him an IV and he survived. Since then, that gentleman has completely turned his life around. He is in recovery, has repaired his relationships … Literally, without Narcan, he would have been dead. He never would have made it to the hospital.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

One-hour shared lunch period offers students more flexibility See ONE LUNCH, page 9 Senior Chloe Lawson is not enthusiastic about the new lunch hour. “It’s unorganized and chaotic, really crazy. There are people everywhere. The other day I wanted to get help with my math homework during one lunch, but my teacher was in a department meeting, so I couldn’t.” (Some academic departments use one lunch time to schedule meetings.) Chloe was spending Friday’s one lunch in Gary Colson’s art room, working on a painting for Art IV. Colson said he welcomes his students – and their friends – to his classroom. “It’s going to work out fine. I felt bad the first week or so. The students looked lost, wandering around with their blue lunch trays. I was also concerned at first about extra work for the custodial staff, with everyone eating everywhere, but the students have been good about cleaning up after themselves. We’ll figure it out.” Social studies teacher Dean O’Brokta said there have been a few issues he’s had to address, but for the most part, it’s been positive. He said a lot of students come into his classroom during one lunch to talk. “I want my classroom to be a safe space for students to relax, or talk about current events.” But he said when his students’ friends join them, “they don’t always respect my space as my students would do. We’ve had to have a few difficult conversations.” He added, “It is chaotic, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. There are some kinks to be worked out, but I think on the whole it’s good for the students and the teachers.” Sophomores Emma Costanzo and Sterling Payne were working together on a poster in a second-floor hallway. “I like having the time to work on homework,” Emma said. “And it’s good for club meetings too. For students who play sports after school, it’s more convenient.” Junior Max Lessen was sitting on the floor in a second-floor hallway doing homework. He said that he had serious doubts about one lunch. “I was against it. I thought it would take too long to get your lunch, that the lines would be too long. I thought no one would be able to get their lunch, but that hasn’t happened.

Sophomores Derek Reece and Jairo Turcios relax and eat their lunch in the band hallway with freshman Julissa Sanchez. It’s working out OK.” Principal Cox credits the cafeteria staff with managing the influx of students. “Everybody gets through the line in 15 minutes or so.” He added that some students wait a little before heading down. “If they wait until 12:15 or so, they can just walk through.” Cox said he was nervous about instituting one lunch. “I don’t like chaos.” He said that before school started, he lost sleep worrying about how it would work, but added, “I’m sleeping better now.” The idea came about, he said, when some of his faculty went to visit Kellam High School, an innovative school in Virginia Beach. “They came back and said we had to do this for our students. We talked more and everybody got behind it. So, I said, ‘Let’s go for it.’” Cox said for the first few days, freshmen were released to the cafeteria 15 minutes early. The gradual introduction of one lunch seemed to allow everyone to settle in. Cox said he met with student leadership after the first couple of days and they were not happy. “They really didn’t think it was working,” he said. “But by the third day, the tide had changed.” He said he continues to get feedback from teachers and students, and he’ll continue to tweak the concept where necessary. “We talked to the students about it during student assemblies and ex-

plained that this kind of freedom is a privilege. We said to them, ‘We are trusting you with this,’ but we could go back to the old system in a heartbeat.” So far, he said, the students have been stepping up and acting responsibly. “We are giving students the opportunity to make good decisions, and they are doing that,” he said. He added, “I am constantly concerned with student safety, and there is so much drama, especially with social media,” so that is always a concern. “But teachers are stationed everywhere, and we have our student resource officer and our student safety officer.” Cox said, “I love it that the kids can have lunch with their friends. It eliminates the stress of that and lets them spend time with teachers they have formed relationships with.” Cox said that some teachers prefer to have a little alone time during one lunch, before opening the door to students, which, he said, “I certainly understand.” Others, like Dean O’Brokta, prefer to allow students in any time. “I enjoy the interactions with the students,” he said. Ecology and marine science teacher Maegan Winkelmann’s classroom is always busy during one lunch, she said. “The students love to take the opportunity to come and visit the animals.” Lizards, snakes and a chinchilla are a few of the animals that are enjoying attention during the new lunch system.
What’s “one lunch?”
At Liberty High School this year, all students and faculty have lunch between noon and 1 p.m. In previous years, lunch periods were staggered and lasted about 30 minutes. Under the previous system, the extra half hour was tucked into the third block of the four-block day (each block is 90 minutes), so students would go to lunch during first lunch, second lunch or third lunch during that third block. Not all students who shared a third block class would go to lunch at the same time, so different students would be “missing” from the classroom at different times throughout the block. Liberty Principal Sam Cox said the system was hard on the students because many couldn’t have lunch with their friends, and the lunch period was too short. One lunch encourages students to spend their lunch time with whomever they choose, anywhere in the school they want – in the cafeteria, in the outdoor courtyard, the band room or a favorite teacher’s classroom. Teachers post office hours during one lunch when they are available to offer academic help. Department meetings are also scheduled during this time. Students can arrange club meetings during one lunch, so they don’t have to meet after school, when other obligations may crowd their time. On Friday afternoon, lunch trays sat on classroom desks, clearly abandoned in favor of playing with the animals. Hannah Rahrig, a senior, was spending time with Carson, a crested gecko. “I come here during lunch to see the animals,” she said, as she rattled off details about Carson’s proclivities. Senior Gracie Gonzalaz was clearly charmed by a corn snake that Nathaniel Wilson, a junior, was showing her. For some students, the lunch hour is purely about socializing. Sophomore Robin Morton and her friends perched on the window ledge of the landing between the first and second floors during one lunch on Friday. The huge windows and the chatting students give the space a distinctly cheerful vibe. “I think it’s a good change,” said Morton. “I’m here every day.”
Sophomores Leslie Torres and Alexis Pruitt spent their lunch hour Friday in the band room.

Marshall animal shelter to open in October By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The humans who work at the Middleburg Humane Foundation shelter are looking forward to moving into spacious new quarters this October. The animals under their care aren’t saying, but chances are they’ll welcome the move too. The $4.6 million project -- with a horse barn, shelter for dogs and cats, medical facilities, corrals for the horses and office space for staff was largely paid for through donations from the foundation’s board of directors. “The board gave so generously – 70 percent of the entire $4.6 million. Talk about a board! They’re so committed. We’ve been blessed,” said Rose Rogers, the foundation’s executive director and one of 11 board members. The humane society takes in animals that have been abused, are strays or can no longer be cared for by the owners. The animals are fed and watered, receive medical care and are placed in new homes with foster or adoptive families. Some placements don’t work out. A dog named Jaxx is back with the shelter for the third time. “He’s not getting along with other dogs. He’s great if there are no other dogs,” Rogers said. But he’s loved at the shelter. Another canine resident, Annie Brown, came to the shelter with a shattered front leg that was treated. She’s fit and has bonded with the staff and now “thinks she runs the place,” Rogers said. “It’s all about the animals,” said Candy Fazakerley, another member of the foundation’s board. “Even if you’re not an animal person, you have to

She’s been overseeing the new shelter project. “My husband and I are in business together, but he’s taken it over. This is a full-time job,” Fazakerley said of her shelter work. She said the other members of the foundation board are dedicated as well. “I’ve never been on a board so committed as this one. We’re all passionate about” the foundation’s mission, Fazakerley said. Though called the Middleburg Humane Foundation (founder Hilleary Bogley started raising money in 1987 for a shelter from her Scruffy’s Ice Cream Parlor in Middleburg), both the current shelter on Whiting Road and the new one on Cunningham Road are in Marshall. The foundation was incorporated in 1994 and opened at the Whiting Road site the next year. A converted cabin serves – for a few more weeks, at least -- as the hub of the complex of outbuildings and fenced areas for the animals. Rogers has been involved with the foundation and the shelter in one capacity or another since “its very modest beginning,” she said. The shelter takes in dogs, cats and larger animals such as horses, goats and pigs. There are currently about a dozen dogs and 20 cats being cared for, plus a horse, a donkey and two goats. New arrivals have been curtailed in anticipation of the move to the new location. The exact date of its October opening will be announced on the foundation’s website at middleburghumane.org. The foundation is awaiting inspection approvals

before moving in equipment and animals. Paid staff and volunteers keep the shelter running. There’s no government funding. The foundation relies on donations, proceeds from a grooming salon operated on the premises and from a resale boutique on Main Street in Marshall. The second annual Concert for the Animals fundraiser will take place Oct. 25 at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains. The new shelter off Cunningham Farm Road sits on 23 acres, nearly six times the acreage of the Whiting Road location. The new site has a 10,000 square foot main building for the dogs, cats, medical facilities and offices and a 5,000 square foot stable with two apartments upstairs, one for the resident staff member and the other for interns. There will be dog run areas, an isolation room to evaluate animals, a critical care room, surgical room, dental room, X-ray room and grooming salon. There will be a “meeting room” where people looking to adopt an animal can interact with it. There will be a reception desk in the lobby and a merchandise shop just off the lobby. There will be an intake room off one side of the building where new arrivals will be received. The land for the new shelter was donated by Zohar and Lisa Ben-Dov, a member of the board. The Steele Foundation LLC is the construction contractor. The humane foundation hopes to expand its supply of volunteers at the new site.

Say goodbye to copper telephone landlines Staff Reports When Jim and Caryn Lilly moved five years ago to a rural, southern corner of Fauquier County, they knew the cellphone service was lousy and they’d have to rely on satellite service for TV and the internet. They were counting on their phone line from Verizon. Think again. The couple say they have endured outage after outage, sometimes dragging on for weeks. When Jim Lilly needed to contact the police recently, he had to drive four miles down Va. 610 to a 7-11 to place the call. Fortunately, the family of four hasn’t needed to summon an ambulance. The problem, in a word, is copper. The old copper landline to the Lillys’ home on Brent Town Road south of Midland kept breaking, once or twice a year at first, then every three or four months. Lilly says he’d endure long, frustrating waits on Verizon’s 800 customer service line and when he’d get through, “it would take days and weeks to get it fixed. We’d have appointments where they wouldn’t show.” Eventually, a local technician and manager took pity on them and gave them their cell phone numbers for faster

response. But each time the repair would only last a short while. Lilly said the manager told him the copper lines in our area “are very old and Verizon isn’t updating or replacing them. They’re just patching them.” The manager said there was a problem as well with old gear used to relay the signals. “We are literally back to the 1800s when the Verizon lines break down here,” he said. Verizon is phasing out copper in favor of faster, more reliable fiber lines wherever it can. The local manager declined to answer questions. But in an Aug. 26 public notice, the director of its Network Transformation division said the 85 remaining wire centers in Virginia, including one in Nokesville, will be weaned from copper on or after Sept. 3, 2020. It issued notices that same day for Maryland, Massachusetts and Virginia. “Verizon has deployed or plans to deploy its fiber-to-the-premises network in these areas and intends to provide service over a fiber network infrastructure,” the notice said. After the retirement of the copper facilities, Verizon will cease maintaining them. “To help ensure an orderly transition, Verizon may require customers and interconnecting entities to migrate services … well before the copper replacement date,” it said. Jeannine Brew Braggs, a spokeswoman at Verizon headquarters for Verizon Consumer Group, declined to answer questions. What exactly this means for those in the Lillys’ boat isn’t clear. The Federal Communications Commission rules prevent telephone companies from abruptly discontinuing or reducing service, but lets them do so after notice “unless customers are unable to receive similar services or a reasonable substitute from another provider.”
Warrenton man charged in alleged hit and run
A Warrenton man was arrested Sept. 1, charged with malicious wounding, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and assault and battery. The charges were the result of a hit and run that the victim said was deliberate. At 11:18 p.m. on Sunday, deputies were called to Springs Road for a possible assault. Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office said that deputies were told that a woman had possibly been hit by a car that had left the scene. The woman, 21, of Midland, reported that she had been pushed out of a moving car; the right rear tire struck her foot. Hartman said the woman reported that the driver turned the car around and attempted to hit her. She said she had to get out of the way to avoid being hit, he added. The victim was transported to the hospital. While deputies were responding to the Springs Road scene, said Hartman, additional deputies located the suspect vehicle on Culpeper Street in Warrenton and conducted a traffic stop. Hartman said the vehicle was driven by William Boston, 33, of Warrenton, and also occupied by Vincent Calvanese, 28, of Manassas and a 17-year-old woman from Remington. Boston was arrested on three charges and Calvanese was found to be wanted out of Prince William County for probation violation; he was taken into custody, Hartman said. Petitions will be sought for the 17-year-old for assault and providing false identification to law enforcement, he added.

The building that houses McMahon’s Irish Pub is being sold. The restaurant will close mid-September.
McMahon’s Irish Pub & Restaurant closing Sept. 15 Staff reports Sept. 15 will be the last day McMahon’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in Warrenton is open for business. “As you may have already heard, it’s with heavy hearts that we announce we will be closing our doors for the final time on Sunday night, September 15,” according to a Facebook post by the restaurant. The building is being sold by the owner, said Erica Fusco, who owns McMahon’s with her husband, Francis. McMahon’s is at 380 Broadview Ave. It’s next to the site of the Cheswick Motel, which was torn down last December after the town of Warrenton condemned it. The Lidl grocery chain dropped plans in 2017 to build on the Cheswick site. “We’re very grateful for the opportunity to serve the community,” Erica Fusco said when contacted Tuesday afternoon. “Our children grew up here,” during the restaurant’s 13 and a half years in operation. “We love our customers. We love our staff,” she added. “Our customers are like family to us.” Erica Fusco said she didn’t think that she and her husband would open another pub and restaurant elsewhere. McMahon’s wants to go out with “a bang,” according to the social media post, which urges customers to “please stop in to see us one last time.” Traditional Irish music will be performed from 5 to 8 p.m. on the two remaining Sundays, Sept. 8 and 15, and Pete Baker will play his last show at McMahon’s at 8 p.m. Sept. 6. Drums R Russ and Kenny Hasty and Friends will perform on Sept. 13. They will be followed by the Elizabeth Lawrence Band will on Sept. 14.

Angela Smith challenges Eric Maybach for commissioner of revenue By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Angela Smith is running for Fauquier commissioner of revenue without a political party backing her, but with confidence she has the background and knowledge to do the job. Smith, a realtor and fifth-generation resident of Fauquier County, is running as an independent candidate for the county office in the Nov. 5 general election. She faces Eric Maybach, who beat Carl Wiberg for the Republican nomination during the June 11 primary. Maybach was an area sales manager for Capital One Auto Finance and currently is a vice president and branch manager for Regional Acceptance Corp., a national auto finance company. The commissioner of revenue is the chief tax-assessing official
and serves a four-year term. The office maintains property-tax and business-tax records. The commissioner also provides tax-revenue projections to the county. Maybach has been an active campaigner, appearing at events and meetings and posting frequently on social media. Smith recently opened a campaign office at 74 Waterloo St. in Warrenton, the former Chip Shot Shop, and has hired a campaign manager. She’s inviting people in town for First Friday on Sept. 6 to stop by the campaign office to meet her from 5 to 8 p.m. Smith said that the decision of Ross D’Urso not to seek another term after 24 years as commissioner of revenue presented an opportunity. “I’m not a politician. I’m a numbers nerd. I know the taxpayers.
Governor comes to Messick Farm to celebrate land preservation milestone By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam chose Fauquier County to mark a preservation milestone for the commonwealth: more than 100 easements have been secured, preserving nearly 14,000 acres of working farms and forestland through the purchase of development rights program. Northam came to a shaded grove outside Messick’s Farm Market in Bealeton on Thursday afternoon to tout the PDR program. Bettina Ring, Virginia’s secretary of agriculture and forestry, State Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-24, conservation advocate George Ohrstrom of Clarke County, Fauquier Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, Marshall District, and Jimmy Messick, owner of the farm market, were other speakers. Fauquier tops other counties in the number of acres preserved through PDR, a voluntary program that pays landowners to protect farmland and natural resources. Landowners forfeit the right to develop their properties while retaining ownership. Fauquier has preserved 13,000 acres through PDR. Conservation easements are another way land can be protected. Under the conservation easement program, landowners convey property to a governmental entity or qualified organization. Landowners can receive a charitable donation tax deduction in return. The county holds 8,000 acres in conservation easement, and overall, there are 110,000 acres in conservation easement, which represents about 26 percent of the county’s total land mass, McDaniel said. Fauquier got off to an early start in land preservation, starting with land in the 1960s in the northern part of the county. Northam said that Fauquier is one of 16 localities that purchased
Many have been my clients,” said Smith. Smith works as a realtor. She formerly had a catering business and operated the Stoneridge Events ANGELA SMITH Center. She was executive director of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce and headed the visitor center and tourism office run by the chamber before the Warrenton-Fauquier Visitor Center was developed. She’s currently on the chamber’s board of directors. She’s also a member of the Rotary Club of Warrenton. Smith’s resume also includes work in accounting and finance. Her work and activities have brought her in contact with the major players in politics, business and the community. “I know all of the supervisors well. The current board is probably the most committed and dedicated. They’ll test each other. Their votes aren’t all yes or no,” Smith said. As commissioner of revenue, ”you want to make sure you are being fair and accurate. I do think it’s important to have someone who has management and leadership experience and knows how to run an office. I am customer-oriented and have
a good understanding and knowledge of assessments, zoning and tax rules. I have an understanding from the taxpayer’s perspective. I’ve had to challenge assessments and deal with agricultural easements. “I won’t say that I’m an expert, but at least I know who to ask,” she said. “You’re going to have a new person coming in” whether it is her or Maybach. “I have a history of running a business with a staff of 20 or more and a budget of $1 million or more. You want the best qualified person in a key position. It’s all about being as accurate and current as possible. People get riled up about being charged personal property tax for something they don’t own anymore. It’s an office where you want the right person.” Smith contributed $1,000 to her own campaign and was the only donation listed in a campaign report filed on July 11 with the Virginia Department of Elections. Maybach made personal loans of $5,000 and $3,000 to his campaign and received a $400 contribution during the first quarter of this year. He received $1,450 in cash donations during the second quarter. He reported a $150 cash contribution during the latest reporting period that ended June 30.

102 easements that permanently preserve nearly 14,000 acres of working farms and forestland through the Virginia Farmland Preservation Fund. The state has provided $12 million in matching funds to local governments that invested more than $15 million in land preservation. “Because of these investments, future generations will benefit through cleaner air, cleaner water, and a critical mass of high-quality land for food and forestry production,” Northam said. Northam noted that agriculture is the state’s first largest industry and forestry the third. The governor singled out partners such as the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation, local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and the U.S. Department of (cooked and ready for dinner) Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service. Messick recounted his family’s connection to the land starting in 1918, when his grandfather began (cooked and ready for dinner) dairy farming. “By the late 1990s my brother and I began thinking how we would pass this on to the next generation. Do we start processing milk, or do we start a market?” Messick recalled. They decided on developing (cookeda and ready for dinner) farm-to-table market and grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. They’ve preserved 700 acres of farmland, he said. For more information or to order Ohrstrom said that 21 percent of the land in Clarke County has been Please contact Christine 540-788-4619 preserved.

Comp plan meeting attendees prefer ‘higher growth’ option By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
In its continuing quest to develop a workable, dynamic comprehensive plan for the Town of Warrenton, town staff invited residents to a PATH Foundation meeting room on Aug. 28 to weigh in on how to move forward into the next 20 years. About 45 people attended, including Mayor Carter Nevill, town council members Jerry Wood (Ward 1) and Robert Kravetz (Ward 4) and some members of the comprehensive plan’s steering committee (Chris Coutts, Doug Larson, Jim Lawrence, John McCarthy, Kirsten Dueck, Marie Washington and Melanee Montalvo). Betty Compton, who lives in Warrenton’s Old Gold Cup subdivision, said she sent notes to her neighbors encouraging them to come, but didn’t see many familiar faces. The workshop was led by Kate Ange, president of Renaissance Planning, which is working with the team of consultants on the project. As during a similar March 5 workshop, attendees were asked for input in three areas: community character, community health and economic and fiscal health. But this time, residents were asked not what they would like to see, but how and where. So far, town staff, with the help of community planning consultants have been occupied with assessing
Next steps in the Warrenton comp plan process September: Presentation to town council September to October: Draft comprehensive plan policy updates November to December: Draft comprehensive plan update draft for comment November to December: Last round of public meetings January 2020: Final comprehensive plan adoption public hearings January 2020: Final plan adoption the town’s trajectory and how to nudge that trajectory to incorporate the vision that residents outlined in previous meetings. Ange explained that residents have expressed the following priorities: • Retaining the town’s historic character and preserve existing places and landscapes. • More vitality in Warrenton. • More restaurants and activities for kids. • Local entertainment options, or higher end grocery/retail destinations. • New development, so long as it is distinctive in character and form and doesn’t look like everywhere else.

Kate Ange, president of Renaissance Planning, invites meeting attendees to share their vision for Warrenton.
When it comes to business, residents said:
• Existing local businesses should be able to thrive and grow. • Commercial corridors should be redeveloped. • Old Town should be allowed to flourish, with more places to shop, eat, enjoy culture and socialize. • More public amenities like parks, trails and recreation opportunities for all ages should be available. • Rural buffers around town should be retained. • Walkability should be a priority. • Canopy trees should be retained and more should be added.
Challenges
Ange explained that certain negative trends happening regionally are present in Warrenton as well – only more so. An aging population, slow population growth, stunted job opportunities and a work force that largely (61 percent of residents) commutes more than 30 miles out of town. Another major limiting factor is too few housing options. In Warrenton, 94 percent of homes are single-family homes, and the average cost is out of reach for first-time home buyers or those looking for more modest options. The average value of a Warrenton home between 2010 and 2018 was $303,374. In order to buck the trends and achieve the vitality that residents say they want, the town needs to find a way to offer more -- more local jobs, more housing options and more people.
Possible solutions
In an effort to learn lessons from other communities, Ange showed the group what Warrenton might look like with more mixed used spaces (apartments over retail, for instance), open, walkable public spaces and community gardens. These options, she said, would allow for less expensive housing choices and encourage healthy living. She talked about encouraging the idea of Warrenton as a destination – emphasizing that the town’s historical importance is a draw. She suggested that doing more to encourage the arts would also bring visitors to
the town, to spend money and to add to the town’s vitality. She showed a picture of a parking garage designed to fit right into an old town setting, for instance. But – as it has for decades -- the idea raised questions about cost and practicality. Audience member Wendy Campbell, who designed parking decks herself before she retired 13 years ago, said that typical parking garage spaces are too small for the over-sized pickup trucks that are common in small-town Warrenton. Campbell said she was attending the session because she wants to see the town focus on “development we can afford.” She added, “Not everyone who lives here has a million dollars.”
Casting a vote
Ange offered attendees four options to choose from – a baseline .35 percent growth; a “stronger, livable community scenario” with 1 percent growth; a “livable destination community scenario” with 1.5 percent annual growth, and a “regional live/ work community scenario” with 2 percent annual growth. In answer to questions from audience members, Ange reassured them that there is ample land in Warrenton – in areas suitable for higher growth -- to incorporate the most aggressive plan. She added that the fiscal benefits of the highest growth option would be ample to provide the increased services necessary for the increased population. In fact, she pointed out, the “don’t change” base scenario will have adverse impacts on the town’s long-term fiscal health, since the town relies heavily on sales and property taxes for its revenue. When finally asked to vote for their preferred scenario, 18 of the 28 people who made a choice voted for the highest growth (2 percent); six voted for 1.5 percent growth and four voted for 1 percent growth. No one voted for the status quo. For a more complete look at the progress of the comprehensive plan, visit www.warrentonplan.com.

Three suspects in custody for shooting death of Lincoln Williams Jr., 18 See WILLIAMS JR., page 9 son were left to commit the robbery, and ultimate murder.” In the same documents, it states that Robinson said she “traveled with Farmer and Ellis to Williams Jr.’s residence on the night he was robbed and murdered. She stated Ellis was let out of the car and returned.” About the search for Ellis, Hartman said, “Once Myison Ellis was identified as a suspect and detectives were able to obtain warrants, we reached out to our law enforcement partners in an effort to apprehending him quickly. Anytime you have a suspect charged with murder, especially the murder of an 18-year-old, the longer the manhunt, the greater the chance of someone becoming desperate, or the chance of further violence, so we are thankful that Ellis chose to turn himself in for those reasons.” He added, “In my experience, Ellis did not turn himself in because ‘it was the right thing to do.’ He turned himself in because he ran out of places to hide and people to hide with. Over the weekend, great pressure was brought to bear by members of the public and by law enforcement from New York to Waynesboro, Virginia.” Hartman said, “When folks call in with information in an investigation like this, those bits of information are like pieces to a puzzle and every little bit helps.” Sheriff Bob Mosier thanked the public for their help and desire to see justice done. Hartman said that the sheriff is also grateful to “our law enforcement partners for working with us in this investigation and the search for Ellis -- to include the Virginia State Police, Prince William County Police, Waynesboro Police, Augusta County Sheriff’s Office, Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service.” Detectives are continuing to conduct interviews and are working with the Virginia Department of Forensic Science on the most probative evidence to evaluate and examine, Hartman said. Although three suspects have been charged and are in custody, the investigation is continuing. Mosier urged anyone with information about the murder of Lincoln Williams Jr. to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 540-347-3300.
Last week
Lucretia Ann Robinson, 54, of Manassas, was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery on Thursday, Aug. 29, said Hartman. During a Friday morning court appearance via a video link at Fauquier County General District Court, Judge Charles Foley denied Robinson bond and appointed Gainesville attorney Jessica Clay as her legal representative. The case was continued until a pretrial hearing at 1 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 14. The arrest came a day after Farmer, 23, of Nokesville, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Williams’ death. Farmer remains in custody as
well. His preliminary hearing is also scheduled for Nov. 14 at 1 p.m. D o c u me nt s associated with Farmer’s arrest MYISON ELLIS warrant state that after Williams was shot, the 18-year-old said “Rudeboy” was the person who shot him. The documents say that “Rudeboy” is Daniel Martin Farmer III. LUCRETIA AccompanyROBINSON ing documents also say Williams had obtained a large amount of cocaine earlier that day. The arrest warrant paperwork reveals that when law enforcement interviewed DanDANIEL FARMER iel “Rudeboy” Farmer, he said he talked to Williams on the day of his death to arrange the purchase of narcotics, but that Williams never showed up. The criminal complaint against Lucretia Ann Robinson states: “Daniel Farmer made statements to detectives … that he along with the accused … conspired to rob Williams Jr. at his residence … of money and narcotics. Williams Jr. was subsequently murdered at his residence.” The paperwork also said, “The accused [Robinson] was interviewed at the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and made statements implicating herself as well in the incident.” Hartman reported on Tuesday, Aug. 27 that 911 was called at 10:42 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 26, when Williams returned home after a short trip to Walmart. Williams had been shot in the face and was bleeding heavily from his head. A trail of blood led out to the SUV parked in the driveway, according to affidavits filed in the case. Hartman added that upon arriving at the house, deputies were assisting with first aid when they discovered what appeared to be a gunshot wound. They provided CPR, but Williams' condition worsened. Williams was transported to the Fauquier Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased soon after arriving at the emergency department, Hartman said. Preliminary autopsy results indicated that Williams died from an apparent gunshot wound, Hartman said. An autopsy was performed at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manassas. An official cause and manner of death will not be released until the autopsy report is complete, Hartman said.

Some members of the final graduating class of Taylor High School – the Class of 1969 -gathered for a photo op during Saturday’s screening of the documentary “W.C. Taylor High School: A Legacy.” Present for the picture were: Shirley Weaver, Betty Morton, Barbara Brown Mayers, Robert Champ, Claudia Baltimore Grant and Marion Henry Edmonds.
Protect your history More than 200 people turned up at Fauquier High School Saturday afternoon to watch the debut screening of the short documentary “W.C. Taylor High School: A Legacy,” created by George Mason University’s Mason Film Lab. The film was directed by Giovanna Chesler, edited by Miranda Waddy, and produced by the W.C. Taylor High School Alumni Committee, headed by Earsaline Grant Anderson (Class of 1964). The gathering was a class reunion of sorts. Former students from every Taylor High School class were in attendance. Before and after the event and in between speakers, attendees compared their memories of the only black high school in Fauquier County. After the screening, they shared dinner and more stories. The documentary explained – through the voices of former students – that Taylor High School was built specifically for black students in the years before integration. Master of ceremonies Ronald Ross (Class of 1963) said that Taylor was built “because they didn’t want someone who looks like me to sit next to white students.” Opening in 1952, Taylor’s first class graduated in 1954. Parents had to raise money for drapes for the windows, for band uniforms and football uniforms. Sometimes the uniforms didn’t match. Teachers mostly came from out of state, and had nowhere to live in town, so when teachers arrived on the bus, community members opened their homes to welcome them. Brenda Fisher Yates said in the film, “Parents made sure we had what we needed.” Fundraisers were held to raise money, and concerts featured Fats Domino and James Brown. Everyone in the audience seemed to remember those, but they also remembered the small moments as well. They remembered how they were inspired by principal Clifford P. Hazzard and vice principal Clarence Johnson. They remembered special teachers like legendary music teacher Addison
Lightfoot. They remembered important lessons learned, both in and out of the classroom. And they remembered that time the school’s New Farmers of America Club (what was the African-American version of Future Farmers of America) accidentally bought a bull at an auction. The school was closed in 1969 and students were required to attend Fauquier High School as integration was enforced. Former students interviewed in the documentary talked about how they didn’t want to leave their school. Hillery Braxton Jr. talked about having to attend Fauquier High. There was racism, there were protests and sit-ins, she said, and a lot of anger. She said that some students got lost in the transition. They chose not to finish high school rather than go to Fauquier High. “A lot made the decision not to attend,” she said. A number of speakers participated in the celebration of Taylor High School, including School Board Chairman Suzanne Sloane. She referred to a decision the school board is wrestling with – how to honor the memory of W.C. Taylor while consolidating two middle schools – Warrenton Middle and Taylor Middle. She said there has been movement on the issue and there would be discussion regarding Taylor Middle at the Sept. 9 school board meeting. A letter from Supervisor Chairman Chris Butler, who attended Taylor Middle, said he wanted to see Taylor remain an educational entity. Anderson said that the W.C. Taylor High School Alumni Committee has a similar preference. Perhaps, at long last, the county will have an answer on that soon. Ross, a social studies teacher and school administrator himself, finished the celebration by encouraging his fellow Taylor graduates – no matter what happens to their old school – to continue sharing their stories. “If you don’t protect your history,” he said, “others will tell your history for you.”
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago September 7, 1944 Miss Fox, owned and shown by Miss Peggy Hamilton, captured the hunter championship of the Warrenton Pony Show on Saturday for the second consecutive year. The trophy was presented by Mrs. James Hamilton, in memory of two other Dunnottar Farm champions, Grey Knight and Jiminy Cricket. Alcoholic Beverage Control Board inspectors and agents of the Bureau of Internal Revenue last week discovered and destroyed a 50-gallon still found in the woods near Hume, it was reported by M. K. Bryant, ABC inspector for Northern Virginia. Ann Hinton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Upton H. Richards, was christened at St. James’ Episcopal Church following the morning service on Aug. 27. The Rev. Paul D. Bowden, rector of the church, officiated. 50 Years Ago September 4, 1969 Three members of the Marshall Rescue Squad spent Labor Day weekend helping search for missing persons in the flood that devastated areas of Nelson County. The scuba team of Capt. Peter Van Deman, Paul Fries and Frank Van Deman from Co. 9 of Marshall took a rescue ambulance, boat and motor to Lovingston. Tom Frost has announced the appointment of Broad Run contractor and farmer Bill Hazel as treasurer for Citizens for Tom Frost, an organization working for the candidate’s re-election to the House of Delegates in the November election. Navy Ensign Daniel L. Baltimore, Medical Services Corps, has graduated from Nurse-Medical Service Corps at Naval School Command, Newport, R.I. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul T. Baltimore of Hume, and husband of the former Linda Murray of Warrenton. 25 Years Ago September 7, 1994 Two years ago, stockholders of Jefferson Savings and Loan Association almost lost it all. This year, those same stockholders could make a killing. Crestar Financial Services announced it is willing to pay $17 per share to acquire the Warrenton-based Jefferson. The sweetheart deal is a boon to area investors, many of whom paid just $6 per share for Jefferson stock in a September 1992 offering. Jefferson president Tom Winfree said that he expects most employees in the bank’s eight branches and headquarters will be offered positions at Crestar. The Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to donate 50 acres of county land at the Corral Farms site south of Warrenton to the Lord Fairfax Community College to dramatically upgrade its Fauquier campus. –Compiled by John T.

Seeing signs of environmental damage in our own backyard is frightening I live on 9 and half acres on the eastern slope of Biscuit Mountain. It consists of about 90 percent trees and bushes and 10 percent open space. When I moved here into an existing house 56 years ago there was a bounty of birds, animals and reptiles. It was usual to have a cardinal sitting in a walnut tree, sing in the early evening. We had robins, towhees, wrens and all the other usual birds. We also had the occasional scarlet tanager, Baltimore oriole, and the like. We had coveys of blue birds and cedar waxwings pass through. Some years we would have the magnificent pileated woodpeckers set up residency nearby. It was special to have a wood thrush sing for 10 or 15 minutes just outside the living room screen door. There were lots of chipmunks and squirrels darting around, including flying squirrels that are such a delight, except when they sneak into your attic and run around all night. We had many lovely little ring neck snakes. We had one black snake we called Big Buster because he was
so big. Last summer we saw one little black snake - just once. This summer - none. No ring necks for the last two or three years. The bats over head in the evening chasing insects are gone. We have a Carolina wren that we see and hear occasionally. What we hear almost exclusively is traffic on the highway down below. And where are the chipmunks and squirrels? When you read articles about global warming and environment change you might think, this is serious, we should be doing more about it, or you might think it is all a hoax. But when you see and hear environmental change right where you call home, you are frightened. We have 3 + 2 = 5 grandchildren, all under age 7, and all are beautiful and strong. It distresses me to think about the future that we are leaving for them. And when they are grown up and in charge, what will be their opinion of all of us?

Article was compassionate look at crisis
As a citizen of Warrenton and Fauquier County, I am enormously grateful to Randy Rieland for his thorough and compassionate work in detailing how the opioid crisis is impacting families in our region. The first article in the series shows us the heartbreak and loss caused by opioid addiction and its impact on parents, children and babies. For the past year and a half, I have been one of several volunteers at Fauquier Hospital privileged to hold and cuddle newborn babies suffering from neonatal abstinence syndrome. When parents and other family members are unable to come to the hospital to visit and care for the babies, we cuddlers
help by holding and comforting the babies in withdrawal. It is our gift not only to the babies but also to their parents, hoping that in this small way they can know how much we care about them and wish them and their babies strong and healthy lives. Mr. Rieland is doing our community an enormous service by putting all the disparate pieces of this sad story together and, I hope, providing our community with an incentive to increase our understanding and support. Many thanks to the Fauquier Times for publishing this series and educating us all.

Saunders Home Design offers classic, shabby chic By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
While some owners eschew brick and mortar stores in favor of selling online, Ida Saunders is doing the opposite; she began her home décor business online but recently opened a Saunders Design showroom in Catlett. Saunders jumped at the opportunity to rent space at 9221 Elk Run Road. She’s in unit #3 of a commercial row that has Cedar Run Antique Center as a neighbor. Saunders has a comfortable office adjoining a showroom that has two tiers of tables, mirrors, lamps, dressers, plates and cups, glassware, farmhouse style bowls and a 1930s radio on display. Much of her inventory comes from estate and auction purchases. They’re either “vintage” – at least 50 years old – or antique – 100 years old. Her clientele ranges in age but includes those who are younger than “vintage” age. “Younger people like old stuff,” said Saunders. She often paints the furniture to give it a fresher appearance. Her approach to choice of color “all depends on the style of the piece and my mood at the moment.” She explains on her website, saundersdesign.shop, that “colors play a key role in setting a tone for different vintage groupings.” Her furniture stock has refurbished and versatile chalk paint vintage furniture. “My pieces are from classic modern chic to shabby chic with a unique custom look,” Saunders says on the website. Items for sale currently on the website include a French Folding Hollywood Regency table for $100, a French country desk for $165, two Victorian style chairs for $100 and a vintage harp one shelf table for $95. Saunders opened the shop on Aug. 3. Business has been “pretty good so far,” she said. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Appointments on Sunday can be arranged. She accepts major credit cards, cash and PayPal payments. She doesn’t have a delivery service. Saunders lives in Manassas with her husband, who retired from the military and now works for the federal government. She grew up in central Virginia. Saunders started selling through the Etsy.com website in 2012. Etsy is a site where sellers post their vintage, handcrafted and custom products for sale. “This started out as a hobby when I was working full time at a dental office,” Saunders explained. Now it’s become a full-time enterprise. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Film focuses on farmers’ conservation efforts
‘30 Harvests’ was released in August Staff Reports
A new film highlights farmers seeking to operate sustainable food systems while addressing climate change challenges. The short documentary “30 Harvests” follows two farmers, Jay Hill in Texas and Megan Kaiser in Missouri. It was produced by the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance and premiered Aug. 15. The USFRA is an alliance of agriculture-related interest groups and organizations, including Virginia Farm Bureau Federation and the Washington-based American Farm Bureau Federation. In the beginning of the film, Hill writes a letter to his daughter explaining why he reluctantly chose to sell the family farm. After moving off the farm, Hill watches a news report featuring Kaiser, a farmer and soil scientist, speaking about the urgency of fighting global warming while creating a sustainable food supply over the next 30 harvests. She says farmers can do this by making agriculture a carbon-negative industry. Inspired, Hill resolves to give agriculture another try. Ben Rowe, VFBF national affairs coordinator, noted that, as the

Throughout the 20th century we saw the number of American farms and farmers decline, while productivity dramatically rose.” Why did the film focus on 30 harvests? Rowe explained that in three decades the world population is expected to reach 9 billion people. Over those 30 years, the film asserts, farmers can be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. “Today’s world increasingly requires that our farmers adapt to meet not only the demands of a growing

KETTLE RUN FOOTBALL PREVIEW
Experienced unit may determine how far Cougars go By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
The Kettle Run Cougars amassed 18 wins over the past two seasons thanks to ample experienced players. But now they’re down to only five returning starters in 2019. That could concern some coaches, but Kettle Run’s Charlie Porterfield hasn’t lowered his expectations. “We’re inexperienced, but we’re not super young, which I feel like helps,” the fourth-year coach said. “They may have been behind a se-

nior [last season] that was a threeyear starter, so they’ve seen that position played at a high level. “Your job is to be ready when your time pops up,” Porterfield said. “A lot of those guys have prepared like they’re going to be ‘The Guy’ the last three years. So I feel a lot better. I’m not so worried about it being a shock.” Kettle Run’s roster features 18 seniors with seven in the starting lineup offensively and seven slotted to start defensively. So Porterfield hopes the Cougars can earn a region berth for the third consecutive season and for the seventh time in the

“We want to get to the point where we can start to compete with those top tier teams.” Coach Charlie Porterfield school’s 13-year history. “We should make the playoffs every single season,” he said. “I don’t think that’s an unobtainable goal.” Last fall, the Cougars lost in the Class 4 Region C quarterfinals, 16-14, to eventual region runner-up Sherando to finish with a 9-2 record after going 9-3 in 2017. In that span, Kettle Run has avoided consecutive losses. “At some point every year the going gets tough, and when that happens our guys are going to be able to fall back on each other and get through it,” Porterfield said. “I think our greatest strength is our camaraderie as a team. They all get along and support each other. Our guys have done a really good job of checking egos this season.” The Cougars may have already faced one of their greatest challenges of the fall, albeit in a scrimmage. They lost a preseason game to Eastern View 28-0 Aug. 22 after the Cyclones advanced to the Class 4 state semifinals in 2018.
In fact, Eastern View has an incredible 65-10 record over the past six seasons and is poised for a big year as the state’s No. 18-ranked team by Max Preps. “They’re going to be one of the better teams we’re probably going to play,” Porterfield said. “That kind of exposed some of our weaknesses and we were able to adjust off that. “We love having that [challenge].

And they’ll only get faster Cross country season is off and running By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
All three county schools were in action Saturday as the state’s cross country season roared out of the gate. Kettle Run and Liberty traveled to the Central (Woodstock) Invitational, the site for this year’s Northwestern District meet. Fauquier chose to stay closer to home for the Great Meadow Invitational. Liberty junior Sam Rodman registered the county’s top individual performance by placing second of 159 runners at Central. He finished the 5,000-meter race in 16 minutes, three seconds. The Eagles took 10th of 22 teams with 243 points. Connor Rogers (40th, 17:59), Owen Rogers (62nd, 18:27), Matthew Anderson (67th, 18:340, Kylan Wilson (72nd, 18:49), Micah Carroll (83rd, 19:16) and Peter Rummel (89th, 19:28) were other scorers for Liberty. Alaina Marek (31st, 22:02) paced Liberty’s girls to 13th in the 19-team field with 309 points. Kayla Lopez (57th, 22:08), Natalie Taylor (64th, 22:2), Maya Turner (81st, 23:21), Lilly Wingo (90th,

Kettle Run’s girls were three points behind Liberty at 312, as Jada Dudley was the first county girl to finish by placing 18th of 131 runners in 20:25. Other Cougars were Becca Harkness (58th, 22:16), Kaiya Stone (67th, 22:50), Rachel Grant (89th, 23:35), Angie Arviso (94th, 23:58) and Marie Sui (105th, 25:11).

Falcons at Great Meadow
Fauquier’s runners faced larger fields at Great Meadow consisting primarily of Class 5 and 6 schools. The boys ran to 10th of 32 teams in the Varsity A race with 314 points. Fauquier’s girls were 13th of 28 scoring teams at 360. “It wasn’t a bad day…a little slower than I wanted,” FHS coach Quentin
Jones said, hoping to place a bit higher in both divisions. “But I think it gave us a good idea of where we are.” Jones said the first meet exposed some expected rustiness in several aspects. Running together as a pack will be one immediate focus. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, a lot of teaching,” Jones stressed. Brian Bolles was the top Falcon, taking 18th out of 276 boy runners at 17:12 to earn a medal despite being ill earlier in the week, Jones said. Bolles was as high as 19th earlier in the race. Others top finishers were John Paccassi (50th, 17:55), Stephen Hiner (65th, 18:14), Peter Paccassi (87th, 18:30), Kyle St. Clair (98th, 18:39), Michael Andrade (100th, 18:34) and Connor Mollberg (161st, 19:28) The FHS girls were led by sophomore Abby Gray, who was 54th out of a field of 230 runners in 21:31. The next Falcons finishers were Lynsey Patterson (59th, 21:40), Shelby Rosenberger (73rd, 22:2), Eva Del Gallo (107th, 22:49), Olivia Merchant (120th, 23:05), Morgan Strickland (131, 23:26) and Annie Del Gallo (133rd, 23:26). Three Falcon girls medaled in non-varsity races with top 20 finishes. Caity Hurley (11th, 24:10) and McKenzie Cummins (12th, 24:12) ran in the junior/senior race. Kiki Wines was 16th in the freshman/ sophomore race at 23:10.

Two big days for Daymude Junior has six goals in Eagles’ opening two field hockey wins By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Liberty field hockey is tough on turf. The Eagles commenced last week by pounding a pair of visitors by a combined 10-0 count. King George was a 6-0 opening day victim Aug. 26, while a better Orange team was blanked by the Eagles 4-0. Playing on its speedier artificial surface, Liberty built a 5-0 lead by halftime versus overmatched King George, and scored at the second-half midpoint to evoke the sport’s mercy rule. Daphne Daymude led the way with three goals, Abby Keller added two and Gretchen Thomas one. Jordan Cabanban and Daymude handed out assists. Liberty coach Katie Norman thought Orange presented a stiffer challenge, but the Hornets had difficulty mounting continued pressure once the Eagles threatened. “They were a tougher opponent,” Norman said of visiting Orange.
“They had a couple girls who could control the ball and keep possession. We started out a little slower than I would have liked us to, but we picked it up.” Daymude tallied the game’s first three goals, with Jazmyn Reynolds adding a second-half score. Keely Crane picked up her second career shutout. Liberty missed at least four open chances to score additional goals, hitting a post twice and going wide on two other shots. “I think when we piece it together to have the right people in the right places, we’ll have more of those shots in,” Norman said, stressing the coaches still are experimenting to determine the best all-around lineup. The experimenting combinations will continue this week as Liberty plays at Orange Thursday. “It will be different to go to grass,” Norman said of past rustiness on the natural surface. “That’s always different for us to play a fast game here then slow it down a bit on grass.” Then the schedule amps up with three games next week, stiffening considerably with games against Class 6 Battlefield and Class 5 Briar Woods as well as the Eagles’ first Northwestern District fray versus Culpeper. “It will be three tough games…

WHEE! Liberty volleyball

team opens 2-0 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The smiles were palpable last Thursday in the Liberty gymnasium. A few minutes earlier, the volleyball Eagles had completed a three-set sweep of visiting Brentsville, 25-20, 25-20, 25-21, to elevate their record to 2-0. Every team appreciates a good start, but when the program captured only a single win last fall, doubling last season’s entire output brought immense satisfaction. “We don’t have one superstar. We have a group of hard-working girls who are interested in teamwork. That’s what carried us in the first two wins,” said coach Carrie Marek. Liberty won its opener two days earlier, rolling 3-1 at Orange to snap a 13-match losing streak. “Getting two in a row, I feel we are starting well,” said Marek. “We already are in a positive [place] compared to last year.” The frustrating 1-18 season in 2018 was characterized by injuries and medical issues resulting in a myriad of lineups. “Last year, I think the team was at a slower pace, they had lost focus,” Marek said of the mental effect. Still, Marek said, her returnees never surrendered, and that resolve allowed her to start at a higher plane this fall. “All of my seniors are just doing outstanding,”

Lenea Crockett and Eagles have already topped last year’s win total. the third-year coach said of the starting quintet of Tiffany Shull, Kaci Heinrich, Madison Daniels, Megan Schram and Madi Billick. Schram has moved from libero last fall to a six-rotation player, with Daniels, a defensive specialist in 2018, moving to fill that spot. Billick did not play due to a hip injury, while Shull and Heinrich have continued steady across-the-board improvement. The schedule elevates quickly with Tuesday’s trip to Millbrook, the 2017 Northwestern District champion. “I’m interested to see what we can do there,” Marek said. Liberty’s junior varsity defeated Brentsville,
2-0, to run its record to 1-1.
Cougars, Falcons also open
Traditional Loudoun County power Woodgrove handed both Kettle Run and Fauquier early volleyball losses. Kettle Run (1-1) played hard in a 3-0 loss Aug. 26 at Woodgrove, rebounding the next night with a 3-0 home win over Brentsville. Meanwhile, a young Fauquier squad dropped a 3-0 decision Aug. 27 at Loudoun Valley. Woodgrove was in Warrenton the next day, and the Wolverines won 25-22, 25-21, 18-25, 25-18.

Falcons not discouraged by opening 31-0 loss By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
The Fauquier Falcons’ defense shined at times last Thursday, once forcing Loudoun County’s football team into a third-and 55 and allowing only two touchdowns all night. But the Falcons’ offense struggled, and their turnovers gave the Raiders a pair of fumble-return touchdowns during Loudoun’s 31-0 victory in Leesburg. That extended Fauquier’s losing streak to 13 consecutive games after it finished last season without a win for only the third time in history, going 0-10. The Falcons held Loudoun County scoreless over the opening 11 minutes of the first quarter, but then Joseph Groves scored on a fumble recovery with 30 seconds remaining. It took another 11 minute for the Raiders to score again, so they led only 17-0 at halftime, but Fauquier still couldn’t recover. “We went after them and it showed,” first-year Falcons head coach Karl Buckwalter said. But “we basically gave up three touchdowns on turnovers,” he said. “It is a good teachable moment.” The Raiders scored their first two touchdowns on fumble returns, leading Buckwalter to believe the performance was not as bad as the score indicated. The Falcons came into the season with new confidence. 17 starters are back, depth is much improved, and they’ve got a veteran new coach with experience building a program. The passing game didn’t click with just one completion in 11 attempts.

Eric Grijalva and the Falcons look to end a 13-game losing streak Friday in their Falcon Field debut against Brentsville. “It’s our home opener and we are excited about it,” said coach Karl Buckwalter. Fauquier’s offense didn’t record a first down until late in the third quarter, but senior defensive back Hershel Rinker nearly got the Falcons on the scoreboard when he jumped in front of a Gavin Pitts pass for an interception, then broke up the sideline. Unfortunately for the Falcons, Rinker was caught from behind. “Fauquier is a defensive football team that can
make you look ugly at times,” Raiders coach Tony Rayburn said. “We did a nice job on defense too. [But] if we don’t click on offense we are going to have a rough year.” “We just have to learn from what we did,” Buckwalter said. “We can’t dwell on what we don’t have.”

While the Cougars have only five returning starters, three reside on the offensive line, giving Kettle Run a nice foundation for success. Senior right guard Owen Whisenant is a fourth-year starter with three-year starters in senior left tackle Logan Rapp and senior center Zack Bayliff. Juniors Andrew Adair (left guard) and Noah Williams (right tackle) round out the starting offensive line. “Those guys have played together for a long time. It makes everything run significantly smoother,” said Porterfield, a former lineman at Elon University. “Our job as offensive linemen is to make everybody else look good.” Kettle Run’s defensive line doesn’t have as much experience, but it has

Junior defensive tackle Andrew Adair is the Cougars’ lone returning starter on defense with third-year starter Levi Carter as a senior wide receiver. Kettle Run’s special teams unit also has some significant experience thanks to junior Andrew Piercy.

Eagles brace for Courtland, Cougars open at Heritage By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
The Liberty football team easily passed their first non-district test of the season last week, beating Brentsville 55-15, but they did lose those three fumbles early in the first quarter. “We saw a lot of mistakes that we need to clean up. The first four minutes was not what any coach would want,” coach Travis Buzzo said. “The biggest thing is to improve our offensive and defensive efficiency, and to understand what the right read is.” With a 30-17 record over the past four seasons, the Courtland Cougars have always posed a challenge for Liberty, which hosts Friday. The Eagles have won only one of four games recently in the rivalry. The Cougars began the season with a 39-6 loss to Louisa. “They’re a really good football team year after year,” Liberty coach Travis Buzzo said. “This is a huge game. Of our non-district games, you’ve got to think this is our toughest test.” Liberty’s offense uses a spread formation that often utilizes runpass-option plays, which should create an interesting contrast with a Courtland offense that Buzzo expects will features as many as three running backs and a tight end with a ground-focused attack. “Like football in the 1980s,” Buzzo said. “They’re playing really, really old school.”
Cougars make 2019 debut
The Kettle Run Cougars had to sit on the proverbial sideline last week when Fauquier County’s other football teams went 1-1 with dramatically different results. “We’re excited about going into the game and getting after Heritage,” Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said of Friday’s opener at home. “That’s our first [regular season] Loudoun County opponent in the past four years. “That’s one of the reasons we got Heritage on the schedule,” he said. “We wanted to get a good opponent from that [Dulles] district.” Heritage finished last season 5-5, but it has a large group of returning starters while Kettle Run has only five following a 9-2 record in 2018. Last week, the Pride lost to Riverside 6-0, but Heritage still impressed Porterfield on film. “I thought they played phenomenal,” he said. “They’re just a really well-rounded team, so we get to see where we’re at” by comparison. “Defensively, they’re super athletic,” Porterfield said. “They run some pretty complex blitzes, so it’s been a really big challenge for us preparing our kids.” Heritage also has some solid offensive weapons, he said. “They have a great receiver,” Porterfield said. “He high-points fade balls, has great double moves and post routes. If you’re in the red zone, that kid is an intimidate threat to score. He’s a real problem for people.”
Falcons eye golden chance to end losing streak By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Fauquier’s recent history against Brentsville offers hope that this Friday night at Falcon Field will bring a much-needed Falcon victory. The Falcons won nine in a row against Brentsville from 2003 to 2015, before losing two of the last three, including a 14-7 loss to the Tigers in the second game last year that helped send FHS into their losing spiral. Both teams were turnover-prone in week one as Brentsville’s six turnovers led to a 55-15 loss to Liberty.
“We’ve got to hold onto the football,” Falcons coach Karl Buckwalter said. “And we’ve got to force some turnovers and get the short field.” Fauquier’s defense amassed two interceptions and two fumbles against Loudoun County, but failed to score off any of them. Brentsville’s defense also began well last week with three fumble recoveries in the opening four minutes, but that translated to only seven early points. “But they’re very athletic and they’re pretty big up front,” Buckwalter said. “They look like they’re real physical.”

120TH WARRENTON HORSE SHOW
NICE TO MEET YOU, SOLANA Alden steers mare to Hunter Classic title By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Winn Alden said she’d never even met Solana, much less ridden her or practiced, before she suited up to partner the Oldenburg mare for Saturday night’s Toyota Hunter Classic, headline event at the 120th Warrenton Horse Show. But it mattered little to the lifelong horse show professional and the talented warmblood: Alden, of Gainesville, and Solana controlled the competition to win the $5,000 classic. “I absolutely fell in love with her after the first round because she just stepped right up to the plate, and we instantly seemed to bond,” said Alden. Since Middleburg-based trainer-rider Snowden Clarke had two other mounts in the two-round evening class, he asked Alden to ride Solana in the classic. Clarke had shown William Wolf’s striking bay 8-year-old throughout the week-long show, held Aug. 28-Sept. 1 at the Warrenton Horse Show grounds on Shirley Avenue near Old Town. Clarke chuckled when asked why he "gave up the mount" on the classic winner. "Winn is a better rider than me," he cracked, though pointing out that he actually was in the lead after round one with a score of 90. "I've known and admired her talent, style and feel from when she started with Pam Baker. "I knew the two of them would be an excellent team. At my age, I've learned you do a better job for your horses and owners (by) leaving ego out of the equation,” Clarke said. Solana won and earned top placings in the green hunter, local hunter and open U.S. Hunter Jumper Association divisions with Clarke before taking top prize Saturday to best a full field of 21 with Alden in the irons. “I’ve loved the Warrenton show grounds since I first came here to try a pony in 1977,” said Alden, 48. “Warrenton is a special place in my life. It’s such a fun event, with the tailgaters, and everyone cheers for each other. I like the one-ring atmosphere.” Solana earned 86 out of 100 in the longer first round, 86.5 in the shortened second round. “The first course was a bit tricky with a one-stride (in and out) off the turn to a bit of a forward four to an oxer,” Alden explained. “The second round was shorter and appeared sim-

Sidenote also won grand champion adult amateur hunter. “I always get excited for this great Labor Day tradition,” said Oare, “and this year did not disappoint. What beautiful weather.” The show’s grand champion was Lisa Demars’ Blame It On Texas, ridden by trainer Susan Sisco. Blame It On Texas is a 7-year-old thoroughbred gelding, Sisco said. “He raced, but not brilliantly, and has been showing lightly for three years,” said the Aiken, South Carolina based Sisco, 60. “I found him by accident when I went to try a different horse.

The Breast Cancer School for Patients
Improving outcomes with video education By John Williams, M.D.
Special to the Fauquier Times
Women newly diagnosed with breast cancer must make rapid treatment decisions. “Do I benefit from a breast MRI? Should I have BRCA genetic testing or a genomic assay?” Online resources for patients do provide information; unfortunately, this information is scattered, unorganized and presented as outdated text and stock images. These websites are hard to navigate and largely ineffective at helping patients obtain better quality cancer care. Over the years, family and friends have called me for advice about their breast care. After a quick conversation, these individuals were empowered to ask their own doctors exactly what was needed. Patients simply receive better care when they understand and know the questions to ask about complex topics such as breast cancer. Most health care facilities provide information online and offer handouts to patients at their facilities. I suggest that cancer programs, professional organizations and physicians should pivot toward teaching patients how to obtain quality, cutting-edge care in their own communities. Specifically, our profession should engage patients with sophisticated video-based patient education. That is why I created the Breast Cancer School for Patients (breastcancercourse.org). This type
Dr. John Williams of innovative patient educational platform can address some of these missing links in our efforts to provide better quality breast cancer care in the United States.
Video is now essential
Online platforms such as health care websites or Facebook get four times the engagement with video posts than with text alone. More importantly, the retention of video health content far exceeds written content. In this manner, medical information can be translated for patients. The Breast Cancer School for Patients innovative two to 10-minute video lessons about important breast cancer topics give patients the tools
Dr. John Williams, MD, FACS, is a breast surgeon and founding physician of the Novant Health UVA Breast Cancer, Haymarket. He also practices at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton. Williams recently received a presidential appointment to the President’s Cancer Panel, a threemember panel that monitors the National Cancer Program and reports to the president about progress and barriers to its success, Williams said. Williams will have an office at the National Institutes of Health for his role on the advisory board and will still be able to serve the local community, he said. they need to engage their breast cancer specialists. Patients can now watch a video and print out lesson notes and specific questions to ask their doctors about 50 cancer-related topics. If patients or caregivers want more detail, each topic has links to evidence-based websites to learn more. At the Breast Cancer School for Patients, women or family members can learn as little or as much as they want about any aspect of their unique breast cancer situation. We have designed separate video courses on every stage of treatment to focus on the crucial decisions that patients will have to make. As patients move from biopsy to surgery, chemotherapy to radiation, or hormone therapy to survivorship, we teach patients and caregivers key
concepts to make sure that they are getting high-quality cancer care in their own community. Cutting-edge tests and treatments are often overlooked when explaining breast cancer treatment. We created a course, “Cutting-Edge Advances,” with video lessons and content about BRCA genetic testing, genomic assays and NAAPBC breast centers, to name a few. Recently, we’ve added a video about the TAILORx clinical trial results, which help identify more women who can avoid chemotherapy. Treatment methods are always advancing and research is constantly uncovering new information. It is difficult enough for healthcare systems and physicians to keep up. In my opinion, it is also our duty, as leaders in cancer care, to find innovative solutions to educate patients on receiving high-quality cancer care in their own communities through online patient education. We encourage other organizations and institutions to do the same. John Williams, MD, FACS, is a breast surgeon and founding physician of the Novant Health UVA Breast Cancer, Haymarket, Virginia.

More than just leg pain Peripheral Artery Disease may be the underlying cause Contributed b UVA Radiology Vein and Vascular Care If you experience frequent leg pain, it could be resulting from a serious underlying health issue called Peripheral Artery Disease, or PAD. PAD affects the circulation in your legs and can leave your legs feeling tired, heavy, or in pain. Lack of awareness about this condition can lead many to think that leg pain is simply a part of aging — 75% of people don’t know they have PAD. If left untreated, PAD can lead to significant issues like sores on your foot or shin, which can deteriorate to the point of gangrene. Symptoms of PAD can also be a warning sign for heart attack or stroke. Being aware of the warning signs of PAD can assist in making that decision to seek help before symptoms get more severe.
What is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?
Peripheral Artery Disease occurs when fatty deposits build up in the arteries and restrict blood flow. These deposits are called atherosclerosis, a hardening and narrowing of the artery wall and/or narrowing of the artery lumen (the space in the artery blood moves through). Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of PAD symptoms like pain, numbness, weakness in the legs, or open sores on your feet. Left untreated, atherosclerosis can lead to heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Part of what makes PAD problematic is that it often goes untreated. It can be easy to ignore aches and pains, to brush them off as just a normal part of getting older. It’s estimated that 8 to 12 million Americans have PAD, and 20 percent of adults over the age of 65 suffer from the disease. Unfortunately, it’s also estimated that millions of people with PAD go undiagnosed and untreated for this disease and as a re-
sult, deal with daily discomfort, reduced quality of life and potentially serious medical issues.
Symptoms of PAD
PAD can present a variety of symptoms. Some are easy to ignore, but if you find yourself dealing with one or
more symptoms regularly, it’s important to talk to your doctor about it. Symptoms of PAD include: • Pain or weakness in legs while walking, that is relieved by resting before continuing walking See PAD, page 22

More than just leg pain PAD, from page 21 • Aching pain or numbness in feet or toes (sometimes even while resting) • Cold legs or feet • Skin color changes in legs or feet • Ulcers or sores on ankles, heels or toes that won’t heal
Risk Factors of PAD
Men are more likely to get PAD than women, and PAD is a condition that becomes more common as we get older and can be worsened by an unhealthy lifestyle. Common risk factors for this condition include: • History of smoking • Being age 65 and older • Diabetes • High, untreated cholesterol • Poorly controlled high blood pressure • Lack of regular exercise • Obesity
Screening for PAD
You won’t know if you have PAD, how advanced your PAD is, or what treatment option is best for you until you get screened for the disease. Thankfully, screening for PAD is easy. A few simple questions are asked and then your blood pressure is taken in both arms and legs. This test only takes 15 minutes. If the pressure is lower in your legs, this could be a sign of PAD. If that’s the
case after your screening, you will be referred for further testing.
Minimally invasive treatment
It’s important to remember that it’s never too late to make healthy decisions. Many PAD symptoms can be controlled by making moderate lifestyle changes. By exercising regularly, quitting smoking, eating healthy, and losing weight, you can minimize, and with time, reverse the effects of PAD. Depending on how advanced your PAD is, your doctor may also recommend medication to deal with accompanying cardiovascular issues, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure. For those who need more immediate treatment for PAD, balloon dilatation of narrowed arteries (angioplasty) is one of several treatment options. Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure where an interventional radiologist uses a catheter to inflate a small balloon within your arteries to widen them, helping blood flow return to normal. Also, if needed, a stent can be placed in the artery to keep the vessel open. No physician referral is required to schedule a PAD screening at UVA Radiology Vein and Vascular Care Gainesville. Anyone who is experiencing any of the symptoms of PAD, especially if you are over the age of 65, call 703-712-6062 to schedule a consultation.

Into the wild…often good for your body and soul Alaska, The Last Frontier People often ask me, “What’s the ‘hotspot’ to travel? What are you booking a lot of?” Right now, Alaska is definitely a hotspot. Well … not literally, but it has wonderful temperatures this time of year. Regardless, people are always ready to see and experience Alaska, one of the most astounding areas of America. The 49th state is considered “America’s Last Frontier” because of its distance from the lower 48 states and because of its rugged landscape and climate. When someone says “Alaska,” you probably first think igloos, cold, and, of course, glaciers. Alaska has about 100,000 glaciers covering five percent of the state, or 29,000 square miles (more than the entire state of West Virginia). If you’ve not had the opportunity to see a glacier up close, it’s a sight to see! Massive glaciers surrounded by magnificent mountains and beautiful scenery all around. Of the 20 highest mountain peaks in the United States, Alaska boasts 17, with Denali (formally known as Mount McKinley) being the highest at 20,320 feet above sea level. With more than 12,000 rivers and 3,000 officially named lakes, it is the largest state in the union in size – one-fifth of the entire U.S. and twice the size of Texas. Russia owned most of the area that is now Alaska from the late 1700s until 1867, when it was purchased by the U.S. for $7.2 million or about 2 cents an acre. What is the best way to see Alaska? It depends on just how much you’d like to do or how far you’d like to go. Most first-timers will choose to cruise to Alaska, either leaving out of Seattle or Vancouver for a seven-day voyage that stops at Juneau (the capital), then Ketchikan and Skagway. During that time, you will cruise through Glacier National
ALESIA HOUSE Park or an inner passageway to get up close and personal with the trees, glaciers, and those floating icebergs. For those who want more of an indepth experience, a land-sea package is a great way to go. This will make your adventure 10 to 14 days. Once in Alaska, you would travel by train to Denali National Park, a 6 million acre preserve that encompasses Alaska’s interior wilderness. With terrain, tundra, spruce forest and glaciers, the park is home to so much wildlife – lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Well, let’s just say bears, wolves and moose, oh my! The main cruising season runs in sync with Alaska’s main tourist season which is mid-May through September. I have been in June, August and September; you tend to see more wildlife, along with salmon swimming upstream, during the later season. If you venture into Skagway, you can go into the Yukon Territory and then into Canada to experience even more breathtaking scenery. Being more of a beach and warm weather girl, I do think everyone should see Alaska at least once. It’s truly a photographer’s paradise, and nothing compares to experiencing it for yourself. Grab your camera and your spirit of adventure, and let’s discover The Last Frontier! Alesia House is a local travel concierge who can plan and orchestrate all the details of your vacation.

Running for their lives CAYA Run for Your Life 5K is Sept. 21
By Aimee O’Grady
Special to the Fauquier Times
If there is only one take-away from the flood of national news regarding the opioid epidemic, it is that addiction does not discriminate. Individuals who suffer from an addiction disorder come from every walk of life and many have social privileges and access to money that helps feed their addiction. For the past 10 weeks, Come As You Are has profiled friends, neighbors and loved ones who have lost their battle with addiction. Ranging in age from 18 to the mid-30s, each of these people shared a giving and tender heart and dreamed of a future released from addiction. The CAYA Run for Your Life 5K on Sept. 21 will feature a tribute wall for runners to hang photos of those who have overcome their addiction and those who have lost their lives. This rugged run, through the wooded trail of Verdun Adventure Bound is symbolic of the rough journey to recovery. CAYA’s mission is to connect people who are impacted by addiction to support and treatment resources and to collaborate with community organizations to support prevention programs. To meet this mission, CAYA funds addiction prevention programs throughout the region, including student Youth Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention Project teams, AfterProm events, Project SOAR and Revive Narcanclasses, among others.

Father James R. Gould, Pastor
If there is no denying love, there can be no denying the grief that comes with the agony of losing someone you have loved. The vulnerability required to truly love someone can be a double-edged sword. Not only does it deepen and broaden the scope of feeling, but it also bares the heart to loss. Grief is the inevitable reaction to painful loss. It helps prepare one for the changes that will certainly follow. The recovery process can be protracted and difficult, but grief can open the door to acceptance. Although bitter, grief can also promote the healing. In the end, recovery from loss provides the opportunity to learn and grow. When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral -- all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress. We value our reputation for providing the highest quality of professional services with the personal attention and understanding needed to help you and your family through a difficult time. MOSER FUNERAL HOME accommodates all families, treating each one as if they were our own. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.

Fall is a season when soil moisture and temperature is perfect for root growth. Root systems store reserves of starch that will become active energy in the spring when new growth occurs. In landscapes soil nutrients are constantly being depleted by trees, grasses and shrubs as well as by leaching or run off. A critical key to maintaining strong, healthy plants is ensuring necessary nutrients are in place and are available for the plants to use for photosynthesis and growth. Depending on soil type and location the soil nutrient compositions can vary quite a bit. The first step in determining the soil care needs of your plants should be a thorough inspection of the site and soil sampling as needed. Based on the inspection and soil analysis a custom soil care program can then be developed for your plants specifically. In some situations where tree roots are either not healthy enough or are simply not present fertilization may not be the answer. No amount of fertilizer will help a tree if the roots are simply not there. In these cases, the root growth zone should be improved to encourage more root growth. Winter months can be hard on plants. They sustain storm damage, freezing and thawing temperatures, animal browsing and may have overwintering pests and diseases that will appear in the spring. Having a professional who is trained in horticulture and arboriculture assess the condition of your landscape and take steps to protect your plantings for the winter months is a proactive approach to the health care of your plants. Arboriculture is a rapidly growing industry with a wide range of employment types. We have career opportunities available for those interested in caring for trees and shrubs. Please visit our website for details on different types of opportunities and benefits. For more information call us at (540) 3642401 or 1-877-Bartlett.

OBITUARIES Jacquelyn Trainum Murri
Curtis Eugene Green
Jacquelyn Eloise Trainum Murri, 75, of Warrenton, passed away on August 27th, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer. Jacquelyn was born September 19th, 1943 in Baltimore, Maryland and moved with her family to Warrenton, Virginia in 1949. Jacquelyn was preceded in death by her parents: Bertram B. Trainum and Eloise H. Trainum, her sister: Judith Cheryl Trainum, and her companion of 20 years: Jon D. Sweigart. Jacque was known as a no nonsense, determined, passionate, lifelong nurse and friend. Quite the force to be reckoned with, she began her education in nursing, while raising a family. In 1981, Jacque started her career as an OB nurse at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. It was here that Jacque met her lifelong friend Janet Creel. Over the last 4 decades, Janet and Jacque spent countless hours sharing weekly phone calls, exchanging letters, and using video chat to stay in touch, even as life separated them by distance. Jacque’s original love of OB and new life was transformed towards the elderly as she opened and ran her own adult care home. She brought this love to fruition in a very real way, as she built a new fully handicap accessible home and opened Jacque Trainum’s Adult Care. This became her life’s work, as she maintained a reputation for quality and loving care. Attending pet adoption days with Paws For Seniors to show off her rescue dog Peanut, attending community charity events, joining the Fauquier Health Patient Advisory Council and auctions were just a few of Jacque’s passions. Hard work led her to start up HOBIC Trucking and Monarch Security Agency, where many of her employees became more like family and continue to lovingly refer to her as “mom”. She and the Sweigart family shared much support and friendship, even after the death of Jon in 2013. Jacque loved friendships and bringing people together. Perhaps this was most evidenced by her friendship with Kathryn Hoffman. While they met bidding over a piece of jewelry, Kathryn and Jacque turned a competition into the very best of friendships, lasting until the day of Kathryn’s passing. Many of her auction friends continued to call often and meet for luncheons to reminisce. Jacque was generous to those around her. She was independent, even maintaining her ability to drive and live alone. She was known for her strong will and courageous heart. She will be missed by many including her friends, her work family, the Sweigart family and her own family. But perhaps none will miss her more than her devoted daughter Cheryl L. Duncan and son-in-law David S. Duncan of Warrenton, Virginia. Interment will be at Warrenton Cemetery after a private service at a later date.
Curtis Eugene Green, 78, of Remington, died August 29, 2019 at Culpeper Health and Rehab Center. He was born January 5, 1941 in Tazewell, VA to the late Virgil Green and Sylvia Smith Green.

He is survived by four daughters Sherri Goldsmith (Jim), Trina Gilbert, Dawn Canard, Carla Kieckhefer ( Ed); sisters and in-laws Margaret (Ernie) Burdette, Connie Shew, Joyce Pruitt, Gail Peterson (Dave), Doris Crabtree, Kay Conley, and Shelton Wyatt; grandchildren Amanda Niblett-Boggs, Kristina Niblett, Nicholas Gilbert, Danielle Gilbert, Tommy Reynolds, Floyd Canard, Elizabeth Kieckhefer, Grayson Kieckhefer, and Freddie Kieckefer; as well as two great grandsons. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by wives Mary E. Green and Janet Green; son-in-law Jerry Canard and sister-in-law Carol Wyatt.

Norman L. Baker Norman L. Baker, war hero, scientist, publisher and historian passed away at the age of 93 on Sunday, August 25, 2019. He embodied the true American spirit with an unfaltering dedication to his country, his family and the preservation of our nation’s history. Baker, a 60-year resident of Fauquier County, Virginia lived a long and fulfilling life both professionally and personally. He was born in Reyno, Arkansas in 1926, a child of the Great Depression, learning early the value of hard work and perseverance. He served our country with both bravery and distinction in two major wars. Norman received his BS degree as an aerospace engineer at the Indiana Institute of Technology, was a member of the White House Press Corps, and was a noted historian of the American Colonial Period. Most importantly, he was a devoted family man who cherished spending time with those he loved at his home, Summerset in Virginia. Entering the military at age 17, Norman fought courageously and heroically as a Fourth Marine Division soldier in the Pacific Theatre including the battle of Iwo Jima. He later served two tours, often on the front lines in the Korean War. After his service, he was active in a variety of veteran’s causes over the years; keeping in touch with his fellow soldiers and connecting regularly at reunions. He served as a past President of the Fourth Marine Division Association. Following his graduation from the Indiana Institute of Technology, Norman joined Boeing where he was a Development Engineer on the Bomarc Missile Program. Active in the space program, he was credited for having initially proposed the development of a Space Shuttle vehicle in October 1955. Later, as the result of his proposal, he was asked to move to Washington, D.C. as an editor of Missiles and Rockets magazine. While in DC, he established Space Publications, a publishing company producing defense and aerospace industry gold standard newsletters like the Defense Daily and Soviet Aerospace. Norman was also a founder and president of the National Space Club, which was established in 1957 to recognize American leaders in the space program. He also founded the annual Astronautics Engineer Award in 1958, which seeks to recognize the nation’s most outstanding space engineers. Norman was an esteemed member of the White House Press Corps where he served as a White House correspondent for six administrations; He also served as a Senate and House Press Gallery correspondent, and was Dean of the Pentagon Press Corps. In his later years, Norman was an enthusiastic researcher of the American Colonial Period, served as a historian of the French and Indian War Foundation and a board member of the Braddock Road Preservation Association. He compiled what is considered to be one of the most comprehensive studies identifying and locating forts of the French and Indian War. He is the author of Frontier Forts of Berkeley County (1999), French & Indian War in Frederick County, Virginia (2000), Valley of the Crooked Run: The History of a Frontier Road (2002), Fort Loudoun: Washington’s Fort in Virginia (2006), Braddock’s Road: The Final Thrust (2011), Braddock’s Road: Mapping the British Expedition from Alexandria to the Monongahela (2013) and Braddock’s Road: Historical Atlas (2016). Norman received a number of awards during his lifetime including the Golden Owl award of the National Press Club, the Life Membership Award of the National Space Club, the 1959 Congressional Robert Hutchings Goddard Medal, the Stewart Bell Jr. Award, the Shenandoah University’s President Award, the Fort Loudoun Award, the 2013 Judge Robert Woltz History Award, and the Indiana Institute of Technology’s Order of the Silver Slide Rule Award. In 2011, he was inducted into the Virginia Historical Series Hall of Fame. The family home, Summerset brought great joy and pride to Norman, and its restoration was a life long passion. Built in the 1750’s and filled with great historical significance, he spent decades of his life personally restoring and maintaining the property and farm with meticulous attention to detail. He spent years collecting period antiques that would be appropriate to the home as well as building materials that maintained the historical authenticity of the property. He loved his country and for many years hosted an annual Independence Day party at Summerset in celebration of our nation’s birth, complete with a birthday cake, touching toasts, and fireworks. His adoration for animals was evident in his farm which was home to many cows, horses, dogs, cats and any stray he would find. Norman enjoyed having family and friends to his home for both formal and informal gatherings. He was also an avid sailor and spent time with his family on the Chesapeake Bay. Finally, Mr. Baker’s love and devotion to his wife of over 30 years, Suzanne, represented the very best of Norman’s sensibilities. Norman will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Suzanne, his brothers Glenn and Donald Ray, and his children Gary, Molly, Syntha, Suzy and Maggie. He will be also be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Lora, Alexandra, Catherine, Matthew, Cameron, Patrick, Harrison, Kathryn and Jack, his great-grandchildren Taylor, Imogen, Sawyer and Izobel and his godchildren Tucker and Tommy. Norman was preceded in death by wives, Peggy Woody, and Lois Shanner Baker, his son, Alan Dale Baker and sisters, Rose Mary Babcock, Glenda LaBlance and brothers, Eugene Baker, Charles Baker. A funeral service will be conducted at 11 am on Thursday, September 5, 2019, at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel, 1600 Amherst Street, Winchester, Virginia. Interment will be in Mount Hebron Cemetery, Winchester, Virginia. A luncheon will follow the interment at the George Washington Hotel, Winchester, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Norman’s memory to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, 900 N. Washington St., Suite 400, Alexandria, VA 22314 or via their website www.mcsf.org Please view obituaries and tribute wall at www.ompsfuneralhome.com
